Description

用户设备处于超低功耗时的业务处理方法及装置 技术领域
本发明涉及通信领域， 尤其涉及一种用户设备处于超低功耗时的业务处 理方法及装置。
背景技术
在现有的通信方式中， 主要存在 H2H ( Human to Human, 人到人）和 M2M ( Machine to Machine机， 器到机器） 两种通信模型。 其中， H2H应用主要 指以人为通信主体的通信， 例如电话通信等； 而 M2M应用也称机器类型通讯 ( MTC , Machine Type Communica t ions )应用， 是指多个网元间在无人参与 的情况下进行的网络通讯， 例如交通控制和管理、 工厂设备监控、 远程抄表 等。
低功耗（low power consumpt ion)—直是用户设备追求的一个重要技术指 标， 尤其对于数量繁多的 M2M用户设备 ( UE, User Equi pment , 也可称之为 MTC Device (机器类型通讯设备）） 更为重要。 然而 M2M应用的多样性决定了 低功耗的重要性是针对其应用的不同而不同， 例如， 对于瓦斯监控或电力监 控等应用， 低功耗只是作为一个普通需求， 其首要需求是实时性和高可靠性； 而对于野外人物、 动物或货物跟踪等应用， 不但需要满足低功耗的普通需求， 更考虑该类应用中 M2M用户设备电池的持续寿命短和电池的难更换性， 所以 需要引入超^ ί氐功耗（extra low power consumpt ion)的新需求， 并将超氐功耗 的需求作为其首要需求得以满足， 该类应用对业务的实时性要求较低， 可以 容忍一定的时延。
在实现上述用户设备超低功耗的过程中， 发明人发现现有技术中至少存 在如下问题： 由于用户设备在低功耗状态下不监听寻呼信道， 可能使得在给 用户设备发送下行业务时用户设备正处于低功耗状态， 使得下行业务无法成 功下发到用户设备， 造成了网络资源的浪费。 发明内容

所述第一获知单元 71 , 用于获知用户设备的超低功耗信息， 所述超低功 耗信息包括超低功耗准备定时器超时时间； 第一确定单元 72 , 用于根据所述 获知单元 71获知的所述超低功耗准备定时器超时确定所述用户设备进入超低 功耗状态； 在所述第一确定单元 72确定所述用户设备进入超低功耗状态时， 限制单元 73 , 用于限制向所述用户设备发送下行业务； 在所述第一确定单元 72确定所述用户设备进入超低功耗状态时， 第一发送单元 74 , 用于通知其他 设备所述用户设备进入超低功耗状态， 使得所述其他设备限制向所述用户设 备发送下行业务。 其中， 所述第一发送单元 74通知其他设备所述用户设备进 入超低功耗状态的通知消息包含所述用户设备处于超低功耗状态或进入超低 功耗状态指示信息， 使得其他设备获知所述用户设备进入超低功耗状态。 其 中， 所述其他设备为执行限制的设备， 用于限制向所述用户设备发送下行业 务， 包括限制向所述用户设备发送下行数据和 /或下行信令等。
其中， 所述限制单元 73限制下行业务向所述用户设备发送时， 可以不发 送下行业务， 等待所述用户设备从超低功耗状态唤醒后再将所述下行业务下 发； 还可以将下行业务发送给下行网元， 所述下行业务消息包含指示所述下 行网元延迟发送所述下行业务的延迟指示信息， 所述延迟指示信息包括延迟 发送所述下行业务的时间； 或者， 可以将包含停止发送下行业务指示信息的 通知消息发送给下行业务的发送方； 或者， 可以将包含延迟发送下行业务延 迟指示信息的通知消息发送给下行业务的发送方， 所述延迟指示信息包括延 迟发送所述下行业务的时间； 或者， 可以将接收到的下行业务中的下行数据 和 /或与所述下行数据相关的下行信令丟弃； 其中， 该与所述下行数据相关的 下行信令可以为但不局限于下行数据通知消息等， 本发明实施例对此不进行 限制， 任何与下行数据的发送和接收相关的信令本发明实施例都将其丟弃。
在所述限制单元 73限制所述下行业务发送给所述用户设备后， 第二确定 单元 75用于在所述获知单元 71获知的所述超低功耗信息还包括超低功耗持 续定时器超时时间， 根据所述超低功耗持续定时器超时确定所述用户设备从 超低功耗状态唤醒； 在所述第二确定单元 75确定所述用户设备从所述超低功 耗状态唤醒时， 业务发送单元 77将所述限制单元 73限制发送的下行业务发 送给所述用户设备； 并且在所述第二确定单元 75确定所述用户设备从超低功 耗状态唤醒时， 第二发送单元 76 , 用于通知所述其它设备所述用户设备从超 低功耗状态唤醒； 使得所述其他设备将所述限制发送的下行业务发送给所述 用户设备。 其中， 所述第二发送单元 76通知所述其它设备所述用户设备从超 低功耗状态唤醒的消息包含所述用户设备包含处于非超低功耗状态或从超低 功耗状态唤醒指示信息， 使得其他设备获知所述用户设备从超低功耗状态唤 醒。 本实施例中， 所述第一发送单元 74通知所述其它设备所述用户设备进入 超低功耗状态的消息和所述第二发送单元 76通知所述其它设备所述用户设备 从超低功耗状态唤醒的消息可以是同一条通知消息， 通过包括不同的指示分 别进行区分， 或者可以是不同两条的通知消息， 本实施例对此不做限制。
若所述第一确定单元 72确定用户设备目前没有处于超低功耗状态， 则所 述业务发送单元 77直接将所述下行业务发送给所述用户设备。
如图 12所示， 所述第一确定单元 72包括： 第一启动模块 721和第二确 定模块 722。 所述第一启动模块 721 , 用于在获知用户设备进入空闲状态或从 超低功耗状态唤醒时， 启动超低功耗准备定时器； 所述第二确定模块 722, 用 于在所述超低功耗准备定时器超时， 确定所述用户设备进入超低功耗状态。
所述第二确定单元 75包括： 第二启动模块和 751第二确定模块 752。 所 述第二启动模块 751, 用于在获知所述用户设备进入超低功耗状态时， 启动超 低功耗持续定时器； 所述第二确定模块 752, 用于在所述超低功耗持续定时器 超时， 确定所述用户设备从超低功耗状态唤醒。
本发明实施例中， 在用户设备支持超低功耗时， 获知用户设备是否处于 超低功耗状态， 当所述用户设备处于超低功耗状态时， 限制下行业务向所述 用户设备发送， 或者发送第一通知消息通知其他设备所述用户设备进入超低 功耗状态， 使得所述其他设备限制向所述用户设备发送下行业务； 与现有技 术相比， 本发明实施例中为了满足用户设备的超低功耗的需求引入超低功耗 状态， 在获知用户设备处于超低功耗状态时， 限制下行业务向所述用户设备 发送， 避免了发送所述下行业务时所需信令的交互， 节省了网络资源。
并且， 本发明实施例中在限制将所述下行业务发送给所述用户设备的过 程中， 还进一步获知所述用户设备是否从所述超低功耗状态唤醒， 若获知到 所述用户设备从所述超低功耗状态唤醒， 则将所述限制发送的下行业务发送 给所述用户设备， 保证了下行业务的准确发送。
本发明实施例中的用户设备处于超低功耗时的业务处理装置可以为目标 移动性管理网元， 也可以为机器类型通讯应用服务器， 或者核心网网关。
其中， 用户设备处于低功耗时的业务处理装置为目标移动性管理网元时， 在 E-UTRAN (Evolved UMTS Territorial Radio Access Network, 演进通用 移动通信系统陆地无线接入网） 网络中的移动性管理网元指 MME (Mobility Management Entity, 移动性管理网元）， UTRAN ( UMTS Territorial Radio Access Network , UMTS陆地无线接入网） I GERAN (GSM EDGE Radio Access Network, GSM EDGE无线接入网 ) 网络中移动性管理网元指服务 GPRS支持节 点 ( SGSN, Serving GPRS Support Node )。 其中， 用户设备处于超低功耗时的业务处理装置为机器类型通讯应用服 务器， 所述机器类型通讯应用服务器可以定义为通过公众陆地移动电话网
( PLMN )与用户设备进行通信的实体，该实体为机器通讯服务用户（MTC User ) 提供服务， 该实体可以是机器类型通讯服务器（MTC Server ), 或机器类型通 讯网关 （MTC Ga teway )。
其中， 用户设备处于超低功耗时的业务处理装置为核心网网关时， 在 E-UTRAN ( Evo lved UMTS Terr i tor ia l Rad io Acce s s Ne twork , 演进的 UMTS 陆地无线接入网）核心网络中的 SGW或 PGW, 可以是 UTRAN/GERAN核心网络中 的 GGSN, 可以是非 3GPP核心网络的 PGW。
本发明在此不对超低功耗状态下用户设备的能力和行为进行限制， 一方 面认为超低功耗状态下的用户设备可以不监听寻呼信道， 网络侧需要限制下 行业务的处理， 另一方面认为超低功耗状态下的用户设备可以进行监听寻呼 信道， 但网络侧仍然需要进行有效控制管理。
通过以上的实施方式的描述， 所属领域的技术人员可以清楚地了解到本 发明可借助软件加必需的通用硬件的方式来实现， 当然也可以通过硬件， 但 很多情况下前者是更佳的实施方式。 基于这样的理解， 本发明的技术方案本 质上或者说对现有技术做出贡献的部分可以以软件产品的形式体现出来， 该 计算机软件产品存储在可读取的存储介质中， 如计算机的软盘， 硬盘或光盘 等， 包括若干指令用以使得一台计算机设备（可以是个人计算机， 服务器， 或者网络设备等）执行本发明各个实施例所述的方法。
以上所述， 仅为本发明的具体实施方式， 但本发明的保护范围并不局限 于此， 任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本发明揭露的技术范围内， 可轻易 想到变化或替换， 都应涵盖在本发明的保护范围之内。 因此， 本发明的保护 范围应以所述权利要求的保护范围为准。
