Description

Method for reporting terminal capability information, time slot resource allocation method, device and system The present application claims to be submitted to the Chinese Patent Office on March 25, 2008, the application number is 200810087697.5, and the invention name is "method of reporting terminal capability information, time slot resource" The priority of the Chinese Patent Application, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of network communication technologies, and particularly relates to a method for reporting terminal capability information, a time slot resource allocation method, a device for reporting terminal capability information, a time slot resource allocation device, and a wireless communication system. Background of the invention

In the evolution of GSM Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution Radio Acesss Network (GERAN), Latency Reduction is introduced for transmission delay (reduced delay characteristics, Reduced Transmission Timing Interval in LATRED LATRED) (Reducing the transmission time interval, RTTI) technology is: In the case that the radio block size remains unchanged, the radio block occupies multiple slots to reduce the ττι of the radio block.

After the introduction of LATRED, in order to avoid two-step access during the establishment of Temporary Block Flow (TBF), it is necessary to provide indications for requesting one-step access and applying LATRED in one-step access. In addition, the terminal device also needs to report its own capability information, so that the network can allocate appropriate time slot resources to the terminal device according to the terminal capability. One-step access at this time can be called one-step access with time delay.

In the current one-step access process, the unused " causes of the Enhanced GPRS (EGPRS) packet channel request message are used to characterize the request for one-step access and application of LATRED, and terminal capability information. The above "ΙΟΙχχχχχχχχ" can be expressed as "lOlmmmpprrr", where: 3 bits of mmm represent MS Tx Capability, 2 bits of pp represent Radio Priority, and 3 bits of rrr represent Random Bits (random bits) ). At present, the MS Tx Capability can carry the categorization code of the maximum number of transmission slots (ie, Tx) or the maximum number of transmission slots of the terminal to indicate the terminal capability, and the MS Tx Capability can also carry the categorization code corresponding to the terminal multi-slot class. The classification code corresponding to the multi-slot class of the terminal is the code of the eight classes after the terminal multi-slot class is classified into eight classes according to the maximum number of transmission slots of the terminal and the conversion time required by the terminal for neighboring cell measurement. For example, the meaning of the information carried by the MS Tx Capability is shown in Table 1.

1 1 1 45 6 6 7 1 1 1 to 1 In carrying out the invention, the inventors have found that the above prior art has at least the following problems:

In the case of using the maximum number of transmission slots (ie, Tx) to indicate the terminal transmission capability (ie, MS Tx Capability) to indicate the capability of the terminal, although the network side can know the maximum number of transmission slots Tx of the terminal, the network side cannot know. The sum of the maximum number of sending and receiving time slots of the terminal is Sum. Therefore, the network may fail to allocate resources. For example, when the terminal multi-slot class is 12, the maximum number of transmission slots Tx is 4, and the sum of the maximum number of transmission and reception slots is Sum 5. The network side can allocate 2 uplink slots to the terminal device according to the Tx reported by the terminal device. (that is, a channel of one Packet Data Channel (PDCH) pair), it is also possible to allocate four uplink time slots (i.e., channels of two PDCH pairs) to the terminal device. However, when the network allocates 4 uplink time slots for the terminal device, only one time slot is reserved for the downlink, and one time slot cannot implement RTTI, thus causing the time slot resource allocation to fail.

In the case where the terminal transmission capability (i.e., MS Tx Capability) is represented by the classification coding corresponding to the terminal multi-slot class, thereby indicating the terminal capability, there is still a problem that the slot resource allocation fails. A specific example will be described below with reference to FIG.

A common method for allocating time slot resources is shown in Figure 1.

In Figure 1, on the downstream side, the network side is already MS1 (terminal supporting Dual Transfer Mode (DTM)) The downlink of the CS service is allocated slot 1 (the white box in the downlink of Figure 1), and slot 1 is allocated for the uplink of the CS service of MS1 (the white box in the uplink of Figure 1). In this case, if the network side needs to allocate time slot resources for the PS service of the MS1, in order to effectively utilize the time slot resources, the time slot 0 and the time slot 2 of the PS service of the MS1 are allocated (the black triangle is filled in the downlink of FIG. 1). Because the transition time from the received transmission is required, the uplink cannot be allocated in slot 0, and since the CS service monopolizes slot 1, the uplink cannot be allocated in slot 1, thereby allocating the uplink of the PS service of MS1. Time slot 2 and time slot 3 (the black triangle is filled in the uplink of Figure 1). Thereafter, if the network side needs to allocate time slot resources for the PS service of the MS2, for the terminals with the multi-slot class 9, 10, 11, since the number of the minimum number of converted time slots from the transmission to the reception is 2, the time slot is 2 time slots. The time slot resource configuration in which the downlink PS slot resource shown in FIG. 1 is slot 0 and slot 2, and the uplink PS slot resource is slot 2 and slot 3 cannot be supported. For a terminal with a multi-slot class of 31 and 41, since the number of the minimum number of time slots from the transmission to the reception is Tra, the number of Tra is 1 time slot, and for the terminal with 36 times of the multi-slot class, when to=0, Tra It is also a time slot. Therefore, the downlink time slot resources that the network can allocate for terminals with multi-slot class 31, 36, 41 are time slot 0 and time slot 2 (the triangle filled with wavy lines in the downlink of Figure 1), when uplink The slot resources are slot 2 and slot 3 (the triangle filling the wavy line in the uplink of Figure 1).

Therefore, when the MS Tx Capability reported by the terminal is 001, the terminal multi-slot class may be one of 9, 10, 11, 31, 36, 41, if the terminal multi-slot class is one of 9, 10, 11 and the network Allocating time slot resources according to FIG. 1 may result in failure of time slot resource allocation; if the terminal multi-slot class is one of 31, 36, 41, and the network side allocates time slot resources according to a basic conventional configuration manner, This causes terminal capacity and waste of time slot resources.

In the embodiment of the present invention, a correspondence between a terminal capability code and a terminal multi-slot class group needs to be established. The correspondence between the terminal capability coding and the terminal multi-slot class group is a one-to-one relationship, that is, one terminal capability code corresponds to one terminal multi-slot class group. A terminal multi-slot class group includes at least one terminal multi-slot class, that is, the correspondence between the terminal capability code and the terminal multi-slot class is a one-to-one or one-to-many relationship. Each terminal multi-slot class in a terminal multi-slot class group supports a set of the same time slot configuration mode, that is, one The terminal multi-slot class group corresponds to at least one time slot configuration mode.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the corresponding relationship is set when the time slot configuration modes respectively supported by the multi-slot classes of each terminal are fully considered. The process of setting the corresponding relationship may be as follows: First, the time slot configuration mode supported by each terminal multi-slot class is listed, and then the terminal multi-slot class supporting the same time slot configuration mode is divided into a group, and each group is respectively The terminal multi-slot class performs terminal capability coding to establish the correspondence. Since a terminal multi-slot class group is also a time slot configuration mode group, the establishment of the above correspondence relationship establishes a correspondence relationship between the terminal capability code and the time slot configuration mode. A terminal multi-slot class basically corresponds to multiple time slot configuration modes. Therefore, one terminal multi-slot class group basically corresponds to multiple time slot configuration modes, that is, one terminal capability code corresponds to multiple time slot configuration modes. The correspondence of the above settings may exist in the form of a table, a database, or a text document, and may of course exist in other forms, for example, by setting an IF ELSE statement to set the correspondence of the above settings.

When the time slot configuration mode supported by each terminal multi-slot class is listed, the time slot configuration mode usually used in the network can be selected to avoid excessive number of timeslot configuration and may cause too many terminal multi-slot class groups. . To avoid excessive number of multi-slot class groups, the length of the terminal capability coding can be reduced.

The time slot configuration mode supported by the terminal multi-slot class in the embodiment of the present invention may be based on the RTTI time slot configuration mode and the ΒΤΉ time slot configuration mode, in consideration of the coexistence of the RTTI and the BTTI in the current network. In the following embodiments, the method for reporting the terminal capability information and the time slot resource allocation method are mostly described for the case where the RTTI and the BTTI coexist. However, the embodiment of the present invention does not exclude the slot configuration mode supported by the terminal multi-slot class. The case is based on the RTTI time slot configuration mode and the one of the time slot configuration modes. Moreover, when only one slot configuration mode is included, the implementation process of reporting the terminal capability information technology solution and the slot resource allocation technical solution is basically similar to the technical solution described below. The embodiments of the present invention are not repeatedly described.

When the time slot configuration mode supported by the terminal multi-slot class includes the RTTI time slot configuration mode, and the BTTI time slot configuration mode is not included, the terminal multi-slot class that supports the same time slot configuration mode in the embodiment of the present invention may be: A terminal multi-slot class that supports the same RTTI-based slot configuration.

When the time slot configuration mode supported by the terminal multi-slot class includes the RTTI time slot configuration mode and the ΒΤΉ time slot configuration mode, the terminal multi-slot class supporting the same time slot configuration mode in the embodiment of the present invention may be: The RTTI-based time slot configuration mode and the terminal multi-slot class that support the same BTTI-based time slot configuration mode after downshift processing. The downshift processing can be implemented using the existing downshift processing method, for example, without using the Shift USF method. Embodiments of the present invention do not limit the specific implementation process of the downshift processing.

After the foregoing correspondence is set on the network side, the terminal device may transmit the terminal capability code to the network side. The terminal device can directly store its terminal capability coding information, so that the terminal device can directly obtain the terminal capability coding information from the stored information, and send the information to the network side. The terminal device may also store the correspondence between the terminal capability code and the terminal multi-slot class. When the terminal device needs to send the terminal capability coding information, the terminal device may first obtain the terminal multi-slot information and use the terminal multi-slot class. The information finds its stored correspondence, determines its terminal capability coding information, and transmits the found terminal capability coding information to the network side.

The terminal device may transmit the terminal capability coding information to the network side by expanding the existing message in the current network. For example, the terminal device sends the terminal capability coding information in the EGPRS packet channel request message, so that the application can be requested. One-step access is achieved in the case of LATRED. Of course, the embodiment of the present invention may also use the newly set message to carry the terminal capability coding information. The embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific name and form of the message carrying the terminal capability coding information.

After receiving the terminal capability coding information sent by the terminal device, the network side may determine, according to the correspondence between the terminal capability code and the terminal multi-time slot group, the terminal multi-slot group corresponding to the terminal capability code transmitted by the terminal device. As can be seen from the above description, a terminal multi-slot class group is also a time slot configuration mode group, that is, one terminal multi-slot class group corresponds to multiple time slot configuration modes. After the network side determines the terminal multi-slot class group, the time slot configuration mode group corresponding to the terminal capability code is determined, and the network side can select a time slot configuration mode from the terminal multi-slot class group corresponding to the terminal capability code. For example, the network side selects a slot configuration mode according to the usage of the current radio resource (such as a slot resource). Then, the network side performs time slot resource allocation for the terminal device by using the selected time slot configuration mode. For example, the network side in the embodiment of the present invention may perform time slot resource allocation for the terminal device by using an existing time slot resource allocation process according to the selected time slot configuration mode. The embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific implementation process of time slot resource allocation according to the selected time slot configuration mode.

The method for reporting terminal capability information and the method for allocating time slot resources provided by the embodiments of the present invention are described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the time slot resource configuration mode is represented as d+u, where d represents the number of downlink time slots allocated by the network side for the terminal device, and u represents the number of uplink time slots allocated by the network side for the terminal device. It should be specially noted that if the time slot allocated by the network side for the terminal device is not continuous, d or u should include those slots that are not allocated to the terminal device in the middle of the slot discontinuous position.

The terminal device may be a terminal device for type I and only for the full duplex type, and the terminal multi-slot class of the terminal device may include: 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 31, 32, 33, 34, 36, 37, 38, 39, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45. Certainly, the terminal multi-slot class is only an example. The terminal multi-slot class can be appropriately increased or decreased according to the actual network. The embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific performance of the terminal multi-slot class. form.

During the one-step access process of the terminal device application, the network side may allocate a BTTI-based time slot resource to the terminal device, and may also allocate an RTTI-based time slot resource to the terminal device. The allocation of time slot resources should be both upstream and downstream.

For the BTTI mode, in the downlink direction, the network side generally allocates time slot resources for signaling. When the network side allocates the downlink time slot resource to the terminal device by using the BTTI mode, the PDCH is allocated to the downlink. In the uplink direction, the network side can allocate multiple PDCHs according to the capabilities of the terminal device. For example, the terminal device can be used as the terminal device. Assign 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 PDCHs.

In combination with the BTTI mode uplink and downlink time slot resource allocation, the d+u of the BTTI-based time slot configuration mode allocated by the network side for the terminal device according to the terminal multi-slot capability includes:

(1) 1+1, downlink allocates 1 slot resource, and allocates 1 slot resource for uplink at the same time;

(2) 1+2, 1 slot resource is allocated in the downlink, and 2 slot resources are allocated to the uplink at the same time;

(3) 1+3, allocate 1 slot resource in the downlink, and allocate 3 slot resources to the uplink at the same time;

(4) 1+4, downlink allocates 1 slot resource and allocates 4 slot resources for uplink at the same time;

(5) 1+5, allocate 1 slot resource in the downlink and allocate 5 slot resources to the uplink at the same time;

(6) 1+6, 1 slot resource is allocated in the downlink, and 6 slot resources are allocated in the uplink. For the RTTI mode, in the downlink direction, the network side also allocates slot resources for signaling. When the network side allocates downlink time slot resources to the terminal device by using the RTTI mode, one PDCH pair (BP2 PDCHs) is generally allocated for the downlink. In the uplink direction, the main application scenarios in which the terminal device requests one-time access is VoIP service, and for the VoIP service, the network side allocates one PDCH pair (B卩2 PDCHs) to the uplink to satisfy the service. Therefore, the network side can allocate one PDCH pair (that is, two PDCHs) to the uplink. Of course, the network side can also allocate more PDCH pairs for the uplink, for example, two PDCH pairs.

In the current actual network, there is a dual transmission mode. When the dual transmission mode exists, the location of the CS slot must be the same in the uplink and downlink, and the CS slot is exclusive. Therefore, when combining the uplink and downlink of the BTTI mode, Gap resource allocation, d+u of the RTTI-based time slot configuration mode allocated by the network side for the terminal device includes two different cases: Case 1: The d+u of the RTTI-based time slot configuration mode includes the following four types: 1 2+ 2 (The assigned downlink slot's slot number is i and i+1, the assigned uplink slot's slot number is i and i+ 1); 2 2+3 (The assigned downlink slot's slot number is i 1 and i, the assigned time slot of the uplink time slot is labeled i and i+2); 3 3+2 (the time slot number of the assigned downlink time slot is i-2 and i, the time of the allocated uplink time slot) The slots are labeled i and i + 1 ); 4 2+2 (the assigned time slots of the downlink time slots are labeled i-1 and 1, and the time slots of the assigned uplink time slots are labeled i and i+1). Case 2: The d+u of the RTTI-based slot configuration mode includes the following six types: 1 2+2 (The assigned downlink slot has the slot labels i and i+1, and the assigned uplink slot has the slot label as i and i+ 1 ) ; 2 2+3 (the assigned time slots of the downlink time slots are i-1 and i, and the assigned time slots of the uplink time slots are i and i+2); 3 3+2 (allocation) The time slots of the downlink time slots are labeled i-2 and i, and the time slots of the allocated uplink time slots are labeled i and i+1); 4 2+2 (the time slot number of the assigned downlink time slot is i-1 and i, the assigned time slot of the uplink time slot is labeled i and i+ 1 ); 5 2+4 (the assigned time slot of the downlink time slot is i and i+ 1, and the time slot number of the allocated uplink time slot is 1, i+ l, i+2 and i+3 _; ) 6 2+5 (The assigned time slots of the downlink time slots are i and i + l, and the assigned time slots of the uplink time slots are 1, i + l, i+3 And i+4 _; ). For the sake of brevity, in the description of the following embodiments, the assigned time slot of the uplink time slot is labeled as i, and the allocated uplink time slot is i, and other i+1, i+2, i+3, i-2 , i-1, etc. also use the description of omitting the slot number. The terminal device here may be type I, and is only used for the terminal device of the full duplex type; the RTTI-based time slot configuration mode allocated by the network side for the terminal device is a time slot configuration manner conforming to the terminal multi-slot capability. The value of i above needs to be such that the slot number is greater than or equal to 0 and less than 8. The values of i in the following embodiments have the same restrictions, and the description will not be repeated later.

The time slot resource configuration modes 1, 2, 3, and 4 in the first case and the second case are the most common time slot resource configuration modes. The time slot resource configuration in the first case and the second case is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Modes 1, 2, 3, and 4 are explained.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a slot resource allocation manner 1 based on RTTI.

In FIG. 2, the network side allocates time slot 1 and time slot 2 for the downlink of the PS service of the terminal device (the gray-filled box in the downlink of FIG. 2), and allocates time slot 1 for the uplink of the PS service of the terminal device. Time slot 2 (the box filled with gray in the uplink of Figure 2).

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of RTTI-based slot resource configuration modes 2 and 4.

In Figure 3, the network side has allocated time slot 2 for the downlink of the CS service of the terminal device MS1 (the white box in the downlink of Figure 3), and allocates time slot 2 for the uplink of the CS service of the MS1 (Fig. 3 uplink) White box); At this time, if the network side needs to allocate time slot resources for the PS service of MS1, in order to effectively utilize the time slot resources, the time slot 0 and time slot 1 are allocated in the downlink (the black triangle is filled in the downlink of FIG. 3), Since the transition time from the received transmission is required, the uplink cannot be allocated in slot 0, and since the CS service of MS1 exclusively occupies slot 2, the uplink cannot be allocated in slot 2, and thus can only be used for the terminal device MS1. Upstream allocation of slot 1 and slot 3 of the PS service (Figure 3 Fill the black triangle in the up line). After that, if the network side needs to allocate time slot resources for the PS service of the terminal device MS2 and the PS service of the MS3, the time slot resources allocated by the network side for the downlink of the PS service of the MS2 are the time slot 0 and the time slot 1 (FIG. 3 downlink) The triangles filled with wavy lines), the time slot resources allocated for the uplink of the PS service of MS2 are time slot 1 and time slot 3 (the triangle filled with wavy lines in the uplink of FIG. 3); the network side is the downlink allocation of the PS service of MS3 The slot resources are slot 3 and slot 4 (the block of the downlink padding in FIG. 3), and the slot resources allocated for the uplink of the PS service of MS3 are slot 4 and slot 5 (Fig. 3 uplink padding) Line box).

FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of time slot resource configuration modes 3 and 4 based on RTTI.

In FIG. 4, the network side has allocated slot 1 for the downlink of the CS service of the terminal device MS1 (the white box in the downlink of FIG. 4), and allocates the slot 1 for the uplink of the CS service of the MS1 (in the uplink of FIG. 4). In this case, if the network side needs to allocate time slot resources for the PS service of MS1, in order to effectively utilize the time slot resources, the network side allocates time slot 0 and time slot 2 for the downlink of the PS service of the terminal device MS1 ( Figure 4 is filled with black triangles in the lower direction). Because the transition time from the received transmission is required, the uplink cannot be allocated in slot 0, and since the CS service monopolizes the uplink slot 1, the uplink cannot be allocated in slot 1, and thus can only be the PS service of the terminal device MS1. The uplink allocates slot 2 and slot 3 (the triangle in FIG. 4 is filled with black triangles). After that, if the network side needs to allocate time slot resources for the PS service of the terminal device MS2 and the PS service of the MS3, the time slot resources allocated by the network side for the downlink of the PS service of the MS2 are the time slot 0 and the time slot 2 (FIG. 4 downlink) The triangles filled with wavy lines), the time slot resources allocated for the uplink of the PS service of MS2 are time slot 2 and time slot 3 (the triangle filling the wavy line in the uplink of FIG. 4). The time slot resources allocated for the downlink of the PS service of the MS3 on the network side are the time slot 3 and the time slot 4 (the block of the downlink padding line in FIG. 4), and the time slot resource allocated for the uplink of the PS service of the MS3 is the time slot 4 And time slot 5 (the block in Figure 4 is filled with slashes).

The time slot resource configuration modes 5 and 6 in the second case are the case where two pairs of PDCH pairs are allocated in the uplink, and the time slot resource configuration modes 5 and 6 are also the most common time slot resource allocation manner. The time slot resource configuration modes 5 and 6 in case 2 will be described.

FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a slot resource allocation manner 5 based on RTTI.

In FIG. 5, the network side allocates time slot 1 and time slot 2 for the downlink of the PS service of the terminal device (the gray-filled box in the downlink of FIG. 5), and allocates time slot 1 for the uplink of the PS service of the terminal device. Time slot 2, time slot 3, and time slot 4 (the gray-filled box in the uplink of Figure 5).

FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of a slot resource allocation manner 6 based on RTTI.

In Figure 6, slot 3 is already a CS slot. Therefore, the uplink and downlink slots 3 are exclusively occupied by the CS service, and the network side allocates slot 1 and slot 2 for the downlink of the PS service of the terminal device (in the downlink of Figure 6). Fill the gray box), and allocate time slot 1, time slot 2, time slot 4, and time slot 5 for the uplink of the PS service of the terminal device (the gray-filled box in the uplink of Figure 6).

The following describes the terminal multi-slot class grouping in combination with the above-mentioned BTTI-based time slot resource configuration mode and RTTI-based time slot configuration mode.

First, a description will be given of a pair of terminal multi-slot class packets based on a BTTI-based slot configuration method and an RTTI-based case. The time slot configuration mode of the RTTI-based case 1 and the BTTI-based time slot configuration mode are combined. The time slot configuration mode includes the following 10 cases: 1 2+2 (the allocated downlink time slots are i and i+l The allocated uplink time slots are i and i+ 1 ); 2 2+3 (the assigned downlink time slots are i-1 and i, the allocated uplink time slots are i and i+2); 3 3+2 (allocated The downlink time slots are i-2 and i, and the allocated uplink time slots are i and i+1); 4 2+2 (the allocated downlink time slots are i_l and i, and the allocated uplink time slots are i and i+1); (1) 1+1; (2) 1+2; (3) 1+3; (4) 1+4; (5) 1+5; (6) 1+6. In the process of grouping the multi-slot class of the terminal, the support of the terminal multi-slot class for the above-mentioned 10 time slot configuration modes should be determined first, that is, the support for each terminal multi-slot class is selected from the above 10 time slot configuration modes. The time slot configuration mode. For example, the time slot configuration mode supported by each terminal multi-slot class is as shown in Table 2.

Table 2

It should be noted that the numbers in the slot allocation manner supported by the terminal multi-slot class in the above Table 2 are the ten types described in the BTTI-based slot allocation manner and the RTTI-based slot configuration method in the above embodiment. . In addition, in Table 2, the BTTI-based slot allocation manner supported by the terminal multi-slot class is expressed as (1X2X3), (1X2X3X4), etc., and the embodiment of the present invention may also use the method of MAX(n) to express the BTTI-based time. The gap configuration method, for example, expresses (1), (2), and (3) as MAX (3), that is, allocates up to 3 time slots in the uplink; for example, expresses (1X2X3X4) as MAC (4), that is, uplinks are allocated at most 4 time slots. The BTTI-based time slot configuration manner in the following embodiments may also be expressed by using MAX (n), and the description will not be repeated in the following embodiments.

After determining the slot configuration mode supported by the multi-slot class of each terminal, the terminal multi-slot class supporting the same slot configuration mode will be supported. Divided into a group. Combined with Table 2, the following describes different implementations of the two partition groups.

Example 1: 1+to in the minimum number of transition slots Tra (including measurement) from the transmission to the reception as a time slot or from the to-received minimum number of conversion slots Trb (excluding measurement) In the case of zero time slots (in fact, to a maximum of 63 symbol widths and 1 time slot width of 156.25 symbol widths), the group division result is:

The terminal multi-slot classes 5, 6, and 7 all supporting the slot configuration mode 1 (1X2) are divided into one group, and the slot configuration manners are supported.

14 (1X2) terminal multi-slot class 9, 10 is divided into a group, which will support the slot configuration mode 14 (1X2X3) terminal multi-slot class 11

12 is divided into a group, and the terminal multi-slot classes 31, 36, 41 that support the slot configuration mode 143 (1X2) are divided into a group, and the terminal multi-slot class 32 that supports the slot configuration mode 1234 (1X2X3), 37, 42 divided into a group, will support the slot configuration mode

1234 (1)(2)(3)(4) The terminal multi-slot classes 33, 38, and 43 are grouped into one group, and all support the slot configuration mode 1234 (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) The terminal multi-slot classes 34, 39 are divided into a group (where (5) is based on Shift USF), and the terminals that support the slot configuration mode 1234 (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) are multi-time. The gap classes 44, 45 are divided into a group. Thus, the terminal multi-slot class is divided into 8 groups.

Example 2: 1+to in the number of minimum conversion time slots Tra (including measurement) from transmission to reception as two time slots or from the number of minimum conversion time slots Trb (excluding measurement) from transmission to reception As a time slot (in fact, to a maximum of 63 symbol widths and 1 time slot width of 156.25 symbol widths), the group division result is:

Dividing the terminal multi-slot classes 5, 6, and 7 into a group, dividing the terminal multi-slot classes 9, 10, 11, 36, 37 into a group, and dividing the terminal multi-slot classes 12, 38, 39 into a group, The terminal multi-slot classes 31 and 41 are divided into one group, the terminal multi-slot classes 32 and 42 are divided into one group, the terminal multi-slot classes 33 and 43 are divided into one group, and the terminal multi-slot classes 34 are separately divided into a group. The terminal multi-slot classes 44, 45 are grouped into one group. Thus, the terminal multi-slot class is divided into 8 groups.

After being divided into 8 groups, terminal capability coding operations are performed for each group. Since it is divided into 8 groups, it is possible to use 3-bit terminal capability coding.

For a first example, a specific example of the correspondence between the terminal capability coding and the terminal multi-slot class group and the time slot configuration mode is shown in Table 3.

table 3

It should be noted that the foregoing Table 3 is merely an exemplary manner, and does not represent the group corresponding to the terminal multi-slot class 5, 6, and 7 and the time slot configuration mode 1 (1×2 000 may also correspond to other terminal multi-slots). Class group and time slot configuration mode, BP000 can Swap with any of the values from 010 to 111. Similarly, 001 to 111 do not necessarily correspond to the contents shown in Table 3. The same is true for the relevant expressions in the following embodiments, and the description will not be repeated.

If Table 3 is embodied, Table 3 above can be transformed into Table 4.

Table 4

In Table 4, when the terminal device that encodes the terminal capability of the report 110 uses (5) to allocate time slot resources, the Shift USF mode needs to be used, so that the terminal device monitors the location of the USF time slot and does not adopt the Shift USF mode. Monitor USF in other configurations The slot positions are different. Similarly, for the case of (6) of the terminal multi-slot class 45, the terminal device also needs to use the Shift USF-based method to listen to the USF.

In Table 4, the terminal multi-slot class 34 and the terminal multi-slot class 39 are combined and classified. The terminal multi-slot class 45 is downshifted (i.e., not used (6)), and the terminal multi-slot class 45 and the terminal multi-slot class 44 are combined and classified. In the BTTI mode, the terminal multi-slot class 7 and the terminal multi-slot class 12 are subjected to downshift processing, that is, the terminal multi-slot class 7 is not used (3), and the terminal multi-slot class 12 is not used (4). In practical applications, the group divided by the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the manner shown in Table 4 above, and the table 4 can be simply transformed by using other downshift methods. For example, the terminal multi-slot class 11 can be down-contracted. The terminal multi-slot class 9 and the terminal multi-slot class 10 are in the group, and the terminal multi-slot class 12 is separately divided into one group. At this time, the group division result is: the terminal multi-slot class 5, 6, 7 is a group; the terminal multi-slot class 9, 10, 11 is a group; the terminal multi-slot class 12 is a group; the terminal multi-slot class 31, 36 41 is a group; the terminal multi-slot class 32, 37, 42 is a group; the terminal multi-slot class 33, 38, 43 is a group; the terminal multi-slot class 34, 39 is a group; the terminal multi-slot class 44, 45 As a group. For another example, the terminal multi-slot class 34, 39 is downshifted (ie, not used (5)) and then classified into the group in which the terminal multi-slot class 38, 33, 43 is located, and the terminal multi-slot class 45 or 12 or 7 is separately returned. For a group (ie terminal multi-slot class 45 or 12 or 7 no longer downshift). Of course, other downshifting methods may also be used to perform the division of the terminal multi-slot class group, which will not be exemplified in detail herein.

It should be noted that the downshift processing can be used as little as possible in the process of dividing the terminal multi-slot class group.

For a second example, a specific example of the correspondence between the terminal capability coding and the terminal multi-slot class and the slot configuration mode is shown in Table 5.

table 5

If Table 5 is embodied, Table 5 above can be expressed as Table 6.

Table 6

When the terminal multi-slot class 34, 39 is configured using (5), it is necessary to use Shift USF, so that the terminal device monitors the location of the USF slot and the other configuration of the Shift USF (such as the terminal multi-slot class 44). The slot positions of the USF are different. Similarly, the Shift USF is also required when the (6) configuration is used for the terminal multi-slot class 45. In the above table 6, the terminal multi-slot class 34 is single. Single class, used for terminal multi-slot class 39 downshift (ie not used (5)), used for terminal multi-slot class 45 downshift (ie not used (6)), terminal multi-slot class 4 and terminal multi-slot Class 45 performs classification and merging.

In Table 6, the terminal multi-slot class 7 (ie, not used (3)), 11 and the terminal multi-slot class 37 are downshifted. In practical applications, the embodiment of the present invention does not group the terminal multi-slot class. Limited to the manner shown in Table 6 above, Table 6 can be simply converted using other downshift methods. For example, the terminal multi-slot classes 11 and 37 may be combined into one group; or the terminal multi-slot classes 12, 38, 39 may be downshifted, and the terminal multi-slot classes 11, 37, 12, 38, 39 may be grouped together. Or the terminal multi-slot class 34 downshift is incorporated into the group in which the terminal multi-slot classes 33 and 43 are located. In this case, the group division result may be: a terminal multi-slot class 5, 6, 7 is a group; a terminal multi-slot class 9, 10, 36 is a group; a terminal multi-slot class 11, 37 is a group; a terminal multi-slot class 12, 38, 39 are a group; the terminal multi-slot class 31, 41 is a group; the terminal multi-slot class 32, 42 is a group; the terminal multi-slot class 33, 43 and 34 are a group; the terminal multi-slot class 44, 45 is a group. The group division result may also be: a terminal multi-slot class 5, 6, 7 is a group; a terminal multi-slot class 9, 10, 36 is a group; a terminal multi-slot class 11, 12, 37, 38, 39 is a group; The terminal multi-slot class 31, 41 is a group; the terminal multi-slot class 32, 42 is a group; the terminal multi-slot class 33, 43 is a group; the terminal multi-slot class 34 is a group; the terminal multi-slot class 44, 45 is A group. Of course, other downshifting manners may also be used to divide the terminal multi-slot class group, which will not be exemplified in detail herein.

After the terminal multi-slot type packet is exemplified for the BTTI-based time slot configuration mode and the RTTI-based case 1 time slot configuration mode, the following is a BTTI-based time slot configuration mode and a RTTI-based case 2 time slot. The configuration mode exemplifies the terminal multi-slot class grouping.

The BTTI-based time slot configuration mode and the RTTI-based time slot configuration mode are combined. The time slot configuration mode includes the following 12 cases: 1 2+2 (the allocated downlink time slots are i and i+l, allocated) The uplink time slots are i and i+ 1 ); 2 2+3 (the assigned downlink time slots are i-1 and i, the allocated uplink time slots are i and i+2); 3 3+2 (allocated downlink time slots) For i-2 and i, the allocated uplink time slot is 靡i+ 1 ); 4 2+2 (the allocated downlink time slots are 1_ 1 and 1, and the allocated uplink time slots are 靡i+ 1 ); 5 2+4 ( The allocated downlink time slots are i and i+ 1, and the allocated uplink time slots are i, i+ l, i+2, and i+3 _; ); 6 2+5 (the allocated downlink time slots are i and i+ 1, allocated) The uplink time slots are i, i+ l, i+3, and i+4; ); (1)1+1; (2)1+2; (3)1+3; (4)1+4; (5) 1+5; (6) 1+6.

In the process of grouping the multi-slot class of the terminal, it is first determined that the terminal multi-slot class supports the above-mentioned 12 types of time slot configuration modes, that is, the support for each terminal multi-slot class is selected from the above 12 time slot configuration modes. The time slot configuration mode. For example, the time slot configuration modes supported by each terminal multi-slot class are shown in Table 7.

Table 7

Terminal multi-slot class 31 143 (1)(2)

Terminal multi-slot class 32 1234 (1)(2)(3)

Terminal multi-slot class 33 12345 (1)(2)(3)(4)

Terminal multi-slot class 34 12345 (1)(2)(3)(4)(5), where (5) is based on Shift USF

Terminal multi-slot class 36 143 (1)(2)

Terminal multi-slot class 37 1234 (1)(2)(3)

Terminal multi-slot class 38 12345 (1)(2)(3)(4)

Terminal multi-slot class 39 12345 (1)(2)(3)(4)(5), where (5) is based on Shift USF

Terminal multi-slot class 41 143 (1)(2)

Terminal multi-slot class 42 1234 (1)(2)(3)

Terminal multi-slot class 43 12345 (1)(2)(3)(4)

Terminal multi-slot class 44 123456 (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)

Terminal multi-slot class 45 123456 (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6), where (6) is based on the Shift USF mode, it is necessary to describe the terminal multi-slot class support in Table 7 above. The number in the slot configuration mode is the number in the 12 slot configuration manners described above based on the BTTI slot configuration method and the RTTI based slot configuration method.

After determining the slot configuration mode supported by the multi-slot class of each terminal, the terminal multi-slot classes supporting the same slot configuration mode are divided into one group. In the following, in combination with Table 7, two different implementations of the terminal multi-slot class division group are exemplified.

Example 3: 1+to in the minimum number of transition slots Tra (including measurement) from the transmission to the reception as a time slot or from the to-received minimum number of conversion slots Trb (excluding measurement) Zero time slots (in fact, the maximum 63 symbol width, 1 time slot width is 156.25 symbol width), the terminal multi-slot class group division result is:

The terminal multi-slot classes 5, 6, and 7 each supporting the slot configuration mode 1 (1X2) are divided into a group, and the terminal multi-slot classes 9, 10 each supporting the slot configuration mode 14 (1X2) are divided into a group, The terminal multi-slot classes 11 and 12 that support the slot configuration mode 14 (1X2X3) are divided into a group, and the terminal multi-slot classes 31, 36, and 41 that support the slot configuration manner 143 (1X2) are divided into a group. The terminal multi-slot classes 32, 37, and 42 that support the slot configuration mode 1234 (1X2X3) are divided into a group, and the terminal multi-slot classes 33, 38, and 43 that support the slot configuration mode 12345 (1X2X3X4) are divided into one. Group, the terminal multi-slot classes 34, 39 that support the slot configuration mode 12345 (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) are grouped into one group (where (5) is based on Shift USF), The terminal multislot classes 44, 45 supporting the slot configuration mode 123456 (1), (2), (3), (4), and (5) are grouped into one group. Thus, the terminal multi-slot class is divided into 8 groups.

Example 4: 1+to in the number of minimum conversion time slots Tra (including measurement) from transmission to reception as two time slots or from the number of minimum conversion time slots Trb (excluding measurement) from transmission to reception As a time slot (in fact, to a maximum of 63 symbol widths, 1 time slot width is 156.25 symbol widths), the result of group division is:

The terminal multi-slot classes 5, 6, and 7 that support slot configuration mode 1 (1X2) are grouped into one group;

14 (1X2) terminal multi-slot classes 9, 10, 36 are grouped into one group; terminal multi-slot classes 11, 12, 37 that support slot configuration mode 14 (1X2X3) are grouped into one group; The terminal multi-slot classes 38 and 39 of the configuration mode 145 (1X2X3X4) are divided into one group; the terminal multi-slot classes 31 and 41 that support the slot configuration mode 143 (1X2) are divided into one group; 1234 (1X2X3) terminal multi-slot classes 32, 42 are grouped into one group; terminal multi-slot classes 33, 34, 43 supporting slot configuration mode 12345 (1) (2) (3) (4) are divided into one Group; more terminals that support slot configuration mode 123456 (1)(2)(3)(4)(5) The slot classes 44, 45 are divided into a group, thereby dividing the terminal multislot class into 8 groups.

For a third example, a specific example of the correspondence between the terminal capability coding and the terminal multi-slot class and the slot configuration mode is shown in Table 8.

Table 8

If Table 8 is embodied, the above Table 8 can be expressed as Table 9.

Table 9

When the terminal device that encodes the terminal capability of the reporting 110 uses (5) to allocate time slot resources, the Shift USF mode needs to be used, so that the location of the time slot of the terminal device listening to the USF is different from that of the Shift USF mode. The time slot location of the listening USF is different.

For the case of (6) of the terminal multi-slot class 45, the terminal device also needs to use the Shift USF-based method to listen to the USF. In Table 9, the terminal multi-slot class 34 and the terminal multi-slot class 39 are combined and classified. The terminal multi-slot class 45 is downshifted, that is, the terminal multi-slot class 45 and the terminal multi-slot class 44 are merged and classified without using (6). In the BTTI mode, a downshift process is applied to the terminal multislot class 7 (i.e., not used (3)) and the terminal multislot class 12 (i.e., not used (4)). In an actual application, the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the manner shown in Table 9 above, and the table 9 may be simply transformed by using other downshift methods. For example, the terminal multi-slot class 34 and 39 may be down-converted into the terminal. The groups in which the multi-slot classes 33, 38, and 43 are located, and the terminal multi-slot classes of other downshifts are separately listed as a group, for example, the terminal multi-slot class 12 is separately divided into one group; for example, the terminal multi-slot is The classes 45 are individually grouped into one group; further, the terminal multislot classes 7 are separately grouped together.

For a fourth example, a specific example of the correspondence between the terminal capability coding and the terminal multi-slot class and the slot configuration mode is shown in Table 10.

Table 10

If Table 10 is embodied, it can be transformed into Table 11.

Table 11

When the terminal multi-slot class 34, 39 uses the time slot configuration mode (5), it needs to use Shift USF, so that the terminal device monitors the location of the USF time slot and other time slot configuration modes that do not use Shift USF (such as the terminal multi-slot class). 4) The time slot position of the listening USF is different. Similarly, the Shift USF is also used when the terminal multi-slot class 45 uses the time slot configuration mode (6), and the terminal multi-slot class 34 is downshifted in the above table 11. It is used (i.e., without (5)) to be combined with the terminal multi-slot classes 33, 43. The terminal multislot class 39 is also downshifted (i.e., not used (5)), which is merged with the terminal multislot class 38. The terminal multislot class 45 is also downshifted (i.e., not used (6)), which is merged with the terminal multislot class 44.

The terminal device can store the corresponding relationship between the terminal multi-slot class and the terminal capability code, so that when the terminal device needs to send the terminal capability coding information, the terminal capability coding information can be found according to the terminal multi-slot class. The terminal device may transmit the terminal capability coding information in the mmm of "101 mmmpprrr" of the EGPRS packet channel request message, of course, To carry in rrr of "100 mmmpprrr". The embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific manifestation of the terminal capability coding information carried in the message.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal device may not store the correspondence between the terminal multi-slot class and the terminal capability code, but only store its own terminal capability coding information, so that when the terminal device needs to send the terminal capability coding information, The terminal capability coding information can be directly obtained without searching.

In the case where the terminal capability coding information is carried in the EGPRS packet channel request message, the meanings of Training Sequence 1 (training sequence 1, TS1) and Training Sequence2 (training sequence 2, TS2) are unchanged, as shown in Table 12.

Table 12

The message content of the EGPRS packet channel request message carrying the terminal capability coding information is as shown in Table 13.

The 3-bit mmm in the 8-bit "mmmpprrr" of the blackened italic "101" can be expressed as MS Configuration Category or as MS Capability, and can also be expressed as Configuration Category. and many more. Mmm can also be expressed as other names, and embodiments of the present invention do not limit the specific expression of the name. The information carried by the mmm is the terminal capability coding, that is, the coding of the terminal multi-slot class. The 2-bit rr can represent the Radio Priority, ie the wireless priority, and the 3-bit rrr can represent the Random Bits, ie the random bits.

After receiving the EGPRS packet channel request message, the network side obtains the information carried in the mmm of the lmpmmmpprrr, and the network side can use the foregoing Table 3 or Table 5 or Table 8 or Table 10 to determine the time slot configuration mode corresponding to the information carried by the mmm. The network side selects a time slot configuration mode according to the current slot resource usage. For example, if the mmm is 001, the network side uses Table 3 to learn that the corresponding slot configuration mode is 14 (1X2). When the network side uses the RTTI mode to allocate time slot resources, the network device can perform time slots on the terminal device according to 1 or 4. Resource allocation; When the network side uses the BTTI method for time slot resource allocation, the terminal device may perform time slot resource allocation according to (1) or (2).

The embodiment of the present invention considers the slot configuration mode supported by the multi-slot class of each terminal, and enables the terminal device to use the terminal capability coding information by reporting the terminal capability coding information by using the terminal multi-slot class group that supports the same time slot configuration mode. The slot configuration mode that meets the multi-slot capability of the terminal is selected, so that the slot resources can be successfully allocated to the terminal device, and the terminal capability and the waste of the slot resources are avoided.

Through the description of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that the present invention can be implemented by means of software plus a necessary hardware platform, and of course, all can be implemented by hardware, but in many cases, the former is better. Implementation. Based on such understanding, all or part of the technical solution of the present invention contributing to the background art may be embodied in the form of a software product, which may be stored in a storage medium such as a ROM/RAM, a magnetic disk, an optical disk, or the like. A number of instructions are included to cause a computer device (which may be a personal computer, server, or network device, etc.) to perform the methods described in various embodiments of the present invention or portions of the embodiments.

The apparatus for reporting terminal capability information and the time slot resource allocation apparatus provided by the embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The apparatus for reporting terminal capability information provided by the implementation of the present invention may be located in a terminal device. The apparatus for reporting terminal capability information in the terminal device is as shown in FIG.

In FIG. 7, the apparatus for reporting terminal capability information includes an obtaining module 700 and a reporting module 710.

The obtaining module 700 acquires a terminal capability code of the terminal device. The terminal capability code here corresponds to a terminal multi-slot class group. The correspondence between the terminal capability coding and the terminal multi-slot class group is a one-to-one relationship, and one terminal multi-slot class group includes at least one terminal multi-slot class. Each terminal multi-slot class in a terminal multi-slot class group supports a set of identical time slot configuration modes.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal capability coding is set in consideration of the configuration of each time slot supported by each terminal multi-slot class. The process of setting the terminal capability coding may be as follows: First, the time slot configuration mode supported by each terminal multi-slot class is listed, and then the terminal multi-slot class supporting the same time slot configuration mode is divided into a group, and each group is respectively The terminal multi-slot class performs terminal capability coding, thereby establishing the terminal capability coding and correspondence. A specific example of the terminal multi-slot class group corresponding to the terminal capability code is as described in the foregoing method embodiment, and the description thereof will not be repeated here.

The obtaining module 700 can directly obtain the terminal capability encoding information from the information stored by the terminal device. In the case that the terminal capability encoding information is not directly stored in the terminal device, the obtaining module 700 may include a first obtaining submodule 701 and a second obtaining submodule 702. First, the first obtaining submodule 701 acquires terminal multi-slot class information of the terminal device.
