Description

Thus, if the UE needs to re-read SIB information to update global navigation satellite system (Global Navigation Satellites System, GNSS) location information, the UE needs to report a radio link failure (Radio Link Failure, RLF) message and return to an idle state, and after SIB information is acquired, the UE re-initiates a physical random access channel (Physical Random Access Channel, PRACH) to enter a connected state. Thus, the problems of overlong interruption time delay and the like can be caused, and the network efficiency and the performance are affected.

Currently, the UE can only read SIB information in an RRC idle state under an IoT NTN system, if the UE needs to update SIB information, the UE needs to report RLF and return to the RRC idle state, and connect to the network to enter an RRC connected state after reading SIB information, which causes too long delay, thereby affecting network efficiency and performance.

The embodiment of the disclosure provides a method for acquiring information, which is applied to user equipment. Fig. 2 is a flow chart illustrating a method of obtaining information, as shown in fig. 2, according to an exemplary embodiment, the method comprising:

Step 201, sending first indication information to a network device, where the first indication information is used to indicate whether the user device supports acquiring information carried by a system information block SIB in a radio resource control RRC connection state.

In an embodiment, the ue sends first indication information to the network device, where the first indication information is used to indicate whether the ue supports acquiring SIB carried information in an RRC connected state. Illustratively, the user equipment acquiring information carried by the SIB includes receiving the SIB and decoding the SIB.

It should be noted that, the ue calculates its own position based on GNSS, calculates the real-time position of the satellite through ephemeris information, and then obtains the relative positions of the ue and the satellite and the transmission delay through the two positions. The network device configures the validity period of the ephemeris information in the SIB, and before the validity period of the ephemeris information expires, the user device needs to send a request to the network device to update the ephemeris information. This is because if the ephemeris information expires, the user equipment may experience errors in calculating the distance to the satellite and the transmission delay.

From the above, the ue needs to acquire the SIB carried information to update the GNSS location information and the ephemeris information. For the ue supporting the acquisition of the information carried by the system information block SIB in the RRC connected state, the ue adopting the method of the foregoing embodiment does not need to enter the RRC idle state, but may directly acquire the information carried by the SIB in the RRC connected state, and update GNSS location information and ephemeris information.

In an embodiment, the information carried by the SIB is satellite assistance information.

Illustratively, the information carried by the SIB is information carried by SIB 19. The SIB19 carries, for example, ephemeris data, a common timing advance parameter, a handover offset value (Koffset), a valid duration of uplink synchronization information, a calendar time, and the like.

In the above embodiment, the ue reports to the network device whether to support the SIB acquisition in the RRC connected state, so that the SIB acquisition in the RRC connected state may be performed in a scenario supporting the above capability, so as to avoid the problem of long time delay caused by entering the RRC connected state after the SIB acquisition is completed in order to acquire the SIB information into the RRC idle state.

The embodiment of the disclosure provides a method for acquiring information, which is applied to user equipment. Fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a method of acquiring information, as shown in fig. 3, according to an exemplary embodiment, the method comprising:

step 301, sending first indication information to a network device, where the first indication information is used to indicate whether the user device supports acquiring information carried by a system information block SIB in a radio resource control RRC connection state;

Step 302, responding to the first indication information to indicate that the user equipment supports to acquire the information carried by the SIB in an RRC connection state, and acquiring the information carried by the SIB in a first set time period;

In an embodiment, the ue sends first indication information to the network device, where the first indication information is used to indicate whether the ue supports obtaining SIB carried information in an RRC connected state, and if the ue supports the above capability, the SIB carried information is obtained in a first set period of time.

It should be noted that the first set period may be determined based on an instruction of the network device. Illustratively, the user equipment receives second indication information sent by the network equipment, where the second indication information is used to indicate time information, and the time information includes at least one of the following: and the user equipment acquires the starting time, the duration and the period of the information carried by the SIB in the RRC connection state. The ue may determine, based on the starting time, the duration, and the period information, a first period of time for which it is in the RRC connected state to acquire the information carried by the SIB.

The embodiment of the disclosure provides a method for acquiring information, which is applied to user equipment. Fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a method of acquiring information, as shown in fig. 4, according to an exemplary embodiment, the method comprising:

step 401, sending first indication information to a network device, where the first indication information is used to indicate whether the user device supports acquiring information carried by a system information block SIB in a radio resource control RRC connection state;

step 402, responding to the first indication information to indicate that the user equipment supports to acquire the information carried by the SIB in an RRC connection state, and stopping the service scheduling operation of the user equipment in a second set time period;

In an embodiment, the ue sends first indication information to the network device, where the first indication information is used to indicate whether the ue supports acquiring SIB carried information in an RRC connected state, and if the ue supports the capability, stopping the ue service scheduling operation in a second set period of time. The second set time period is a set time margin added to a time period for which the user equipment acquires the information carried by the SIB in the RRC connection state, namely the first set time period is added with the set time margin. The set time margin may be determined based on an indication of the network device or may be specified by the communication protocol.

In an embodiment, the ue sends first indication information to the network device, where the first indication information is used to indicate whether the ue supports obtaining SIB carried information in an RRC connected state, and if the ue supports the capability, the ue obtains SIB carried information in a first set period of time, and stops the ue service scheduling operation in a second set period of time. The second set time period is the first set time period plus a set time margin.

Due to the limitation of the processing capability of the user equipment, the user equipment can influence the execution of the service scheduling operation when acquiring the information carried by the SIB, so that the user equipment stops the service scheduling operation during the period of acquiring the information carried by the SIB in the RRC connection state. And the duration of stopping the service scheduling operation by the user equipment is longer than the duration of acquiring the information carried by the SIB in the RRC connection state by the user equipment, namely the duration of the second set time period is longer than the duration of the first set time period. This is to more fully ensure that the user equipment does not perform the service scheduling operation during the acquisition of the SIB carried information in the RRC connected state.

In an embodiment, the user equipment stops the service scheduling operation, including at least one of the following: stopping sending and receiving the data service and the control service; and stopping transmitting the uplink reference signal and receiving the downlink reference signal. Illustratively, the Reference signals include synchronization signals and PBCH blocks (Synchronization Signal and PBCH Block, SSB), channel state information Reference signals (CSI-RS), sounding Reference signals (Sounding Reference Signal, SRS), and the like.

The embodiment of the disclosure provides a method for acquiring information, which is applied to user equipment. Fig. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a method of acquiring information, as shown in fig. 5, according to an exemplary embodiment, the method comprising:

Step 501, sending first indication information to a network device, where the first indication information is used to indicate whether the user device supports acquiring information carried by a system information block SIB in a radio resource control RRC connection state;

step 502, receiving second indication information sent by a network device, where the second indication information is used to indicate time information, and the time information is related to a time period for which the user device acquires information carried by the SIB in an RRC connection state.

In an embodiment, the ue sends first indication information to the network device, where the first indication information is used to indicate whether the ue supports acquiring SIB carried information in an RRC connected state. And the user equipment receives second indication information sent by the network equipment, wherein the second indication information is used for indicating time information related to a time period for which the information carried by the SIB is acquired in the RRC connection state. The user equipment can determine the time period for which the user equipment acquires the information carried by the SIB in the RRC connection state based on the second indication information.

It should be noted that the ordering of the steps 501 and 502 does not limit the time sequence between the user device sending the first indication information to the network device and receiving the second indication information from the network device. The user equipment may first send the first indication information to the network equipment and then receive the second indication information from the network equipment. The user equipment may receive the second indication information from the network equipment and then send the first indication information to the network equipment.

In an embodiment, the ue sends first indication information to the network device, where the first indication information is used to indicate whether the ue supports acquiring SIB carried information in an RRC connected state. And the user equipment receives second indication information sent by the network equipment, wherein the second indication information indicates time information related to a time period for which the information carried by the SIB is acquired in the RRC connection state. If the user equipment supports to acquire the information carried by the SIB in the RRC connected state, the user equipment determines a time period for which the user equipment continues to acquire the information carried by the SIB in the RRC connected state based on the second indication information, and acquires the information carried by the SIB in the determined time period (i.e., the first set time period).

In an embodiment, the time information indicated by the second indication information includes at least one of:

The user equipment may determine a period of periodicity for which it acquires the SIB carried information in the RRC connected state based on the starting time, duration, and periodicity of the SIB carried information acquired in the RRC connected state.

The user equipment receives the second indication information through RRC signaling, for example.

The embodiment of the disclosure provides a method for acquiring information, which is applied to user equipment. Fig. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a method of acquiring information, as shown in fig. 6, according to an exemplary embodiment, the method comprising:

in step 601, first indication information is sent to a network device through RRC signaling, where the first indication information is used to indicate whether the user device supports acquiring information carried by a system information block SIB in a radio resource control RRC connection state.

In an embodiment, the ue sends first indication information to the network device through RRC signaling, where the first indication information is used to indicate whether the ue supports obtaining SIB carried information in an RRC connected state. Illustratively, the user equipment acquiring information carried by the SIB includes receiving the SIB and decoding the SIB.

The embodiment of the disclosure provides a method for acquiring information, which is applied to user equipment. Fig. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a method of acquiring information, as shown in fig. 7, according to an exemplary embodiment, the method comprising:

step 701, sending first indication information to a network device, where the first indication information is used to indicate whether the user device supports acquiring information carried by a system information block SIB in a radio resource control RRC connection state;

step 702, in response to the first indication information indicating that the ue does not support obtaining the SIB carried information in the RRC connected state, the ue sends a radio link failure message to the network device, enters an RRC idle state, and obtains the SIB carried information in the RRC idle state.

In an embodiment, the ue sends first indication information to the network device, where the first indication information is used to indicate whether the ue supports obtaining SIB carried information in an RRC connected state, and if the ue does not support the capability, the ue sends a radio link failure message to the network device, enters an RRC idle state, and obtains SIB carried information in the RRC idle state. That is, the ue that does not support obtaining SIB carried information in the RRC connected state still obtains SIB carried information in the RRC idle state.

The embodiment of the disclosure provides a method for acquiring information, which is applied to network equipment. Fig. 8 is a flowchart illustrating a method of acquiring information, as shown in fig. 8, according to an exemplary embodiment, the method comprising:

In step 801, first indication information from a ue is received, where the first indication information is used to indicate whether the ue supports acquiring information carried by a system information block SIB in a radio resource control RRC connection state.

In an embodiment, the network device receives first indication information sent by the user device, where the first indication information is used to indicate whether the user device supports acquiring information carried by SIB in RRC connected state.

In the above embodiment, the ue reports to the network device whether to support obtaining the SIB carried in the RRC connected state, so that the SIB carried in the RRC connected state may be obtained in the context of supporting the above capability, and at the same time, the network device takes corresponding measures for the ue supporting the above capability, for example, stops the network device service scheduling operation. By adopting the method, the problem of long time delay caused by the fact that the user equipment enters the RRC idle state in order to acquire the information carried by the SIB and then enters the RRC connection state after the information carried by the SIB is acquired can be avoided, and the efficiency and the performance of the network are improved.

The embodiment of the disclosure provides a method for acquiring information, which is applied to network equipment. Fig. 9 is a flowchart illustrating a method of acquiring information, as shown in fig. 9, according to an exemplary embodiment, the method comprising:

Step 901, receiving first indication information from a ue, where the first indication information is used to indicate whether the ue supports acquiring information carried by a system information block SIB in a radio resource control RRC connection state;

step 902, responding to the first indication information to indicate that the user equipment supports to acquire the information carried by the SIB in an RRC connection state, and stopping the service scheduling operation of the network equipment in a second set time period;

In an embodiment, the network device receives first indication information sent by the user device, where the first indication information is used to indicate whether the user device supports acquiring information carried by SIB in RRC connected state, and if the user device supports the above capability, stopping service scheduling operation of the network device in a second set period of time. The second set time period is a set time margin added to a time period for which the user equipment acquires the information carried by the SIB in the RRC connection state, namely the first set time period is added with the set time margin. The set time margin may be determined based on an indication of the network device or may be specified by the communication protocol.

It should be noted that the first set period of time may be determined by the network device. For example, the network device may determine a first set period of time for the user device to acquire the information carried by the SIB in the RRC connected state, based on a starting time, a duration, and a period of time for the user device to acquire the information carried by the SIB in the RRC connected state.

Because of the limitation of the processing capability of the user equipment, the user equipment can influence the execution of the service scheduling operation when acquiring the information carried by the SIB, so that the user equipment stops the service scheduling operation during the period of acquiring the information carried by the SIB in the RRC connection state, and correspondingly, the network equipment also stops the service scheduling operation. And the duration of the operation of stopping service scheduling is longer than the duration of the information carried by the SIB acquired by the user equipment in the RRC connection state, namely the duration of the second set time period is longer than the duration of the first set time period. This is to more fully ensure that the user equipment does not perform the service scheduling operation during the acquisition of the SIB carried information in the RRC connected state.

In one embodiment, the network device stops the traffic scheduling operation, including at least one of: stopping sending and receiving the data service and the control service; and stopping transmitting the downlink reference signal and receiving the uplink reference signal. Illustratively, the Reference signals include synchronization signals and PBCH blocks (Synchronization Signal and PBCH Block, SSB), channel state information Reference signals (CSI-RS), sounding Reference signals (Sounding Reference Signal, SRS), and the like.

step 1002, sending second indication information to the ue, where the second indication information is used to indicate time information, and the time information is related to a time period for which the ue acquires, in an RRC connected state, information carried by the SIB.

In an embodiment, the network device receives first indication information sent by the user device, where the first indication information is used to indicate whether the user device supports acquiring information carried by SIB in RRC connected state. And the network device sends second indication information to the user device, where the second indication information is used to indicate time information related to a time period for which the information carried by the SIB is acquired in the RRC connected state. The user equipment can determine the time period for which the user equipment acquires the information carried by the SIB in the RRC connection state based on the second indication information.

It should be noted that, the ordering of the step 1001 and the step 1002 does not indicate that the time sequence between the network device receiving the first indication information sent by the user device and the network device sending the second indication information to the user device is limited. The network device may first receive the first indication information sent by the user device, and then send the second indication information to the user device. The network device may also send the second indication information to the user device first, and then receive the first indication information sent by the user device.

The network device may determine a period of time for which the user device acquires the SIB carried information in the RRC connected state is continuous, based on the starting time, the duration, and the period of time for which the user device acquires the SIB carried information in the RRC connected state.
