The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. It is a partial embodiment of the invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts are within the scope of the present invention.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the DTX cycle includes two states of activation and sleep, and thus may also be referred to as a dual state cycle or a dual mode cycle. The initial activation period refers to a fixed activation period at the beginning of the DTX period. The embodiment of the present invention refines the specific structure of the DTX mode in an active state, which may include the following possibilities:

1) The base station sends a synchronization signal (SS) or a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) signal in the initial activation time of the DTX mode, so that the UE detects the cell.

2) The base station transmits SS, CRS, Master Information Block (MIB), System Information Block (SIB) 1, or SIB2 signal in the initial activation time of the DTX mode, and is used to enable the UE to station Stay in the community.

3) The base station transmits SS, CRS, and discontinuous reception within the initial activation time of the DTX mode. (Discontinous Reception, referred to as DRX), MIB, SIBl-m, paging or downlink scheduling (Downlink Scheduling, DL Scheduling) signals, used to provide services to the UE, such as services that provide data services, such as telephone services. , Internet services, etc.

In addition, the base station may receive a physical uplink control channel (Physical Uplink Conotrol Channel, PUCCH), a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), and a physical random access channel (Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH)). Random Access Channel (referred to as PRACH) information.

On the basis of the above architecture, there is a fixed initial activation period in one DTX period, but there may be a starting offset value, which refers to the deviation of the DTX period from the time when the base station transmits the downlink information. Move the value. However, the service of the UE has a certain random distribution. In the process of interacting with the base station, the fixed initial activation period in the DTX mode of the base station cannot meet the service requirement of the UE. In this embodiment of the present invention, the base station corrects the service for the UE in real time. Its activation time. Specifically, there are the following methods:

1) When the UE needs a further service at the end of the initial activation time period of a base station, the base station may extend the initial activation time period, that is, continue the activation time, and notify the UE of the extended time, so that the UE is in the UE. The extended activation period continues to receive downlink information sent by the base station.

2) When the base station is in the sleep state, the base station may temporarily initiate an activation time period according to the uplink receiver of the base station receiving the message sent by the UE and acquiring the specific requirement of the UE, or when the message sent by the base station to the UE has a service demand. . Sometimes this way of temporarily initiating an activation state is not applicable in order to conserve resources.

The extended activation period or temporary activation period is notified to the UE by broadcast or dedicated signaling before the base station modifies the activation state.

Of course, the base station may also extend the activation time period or initiate the temporary activation time period according to the recommended time reported by the UE.

Through the above method, the proportion of the active state time period in the DTX mode in the entire DTX cycle can be further improved, and the capacity and timing of the base station providing services for the UE are improved.

It should be noted that, in the extended activation period or the temporary activation period, according to different application scenarios, the uplink and downlink working states of the base station have the following options:

1) On the base station side, the downlink uses the DTX mode to send a paging message, the downlink data is buffered in the sleep state, and is sent at the next activation time; meanwhile, the uplink receiver is always on, Receiving the uplink information sent by the UE, for example, an Uplink Random Access Channel Preamble (UL ACH Preamble), an Uplink Scheduling Request (UL SR), and an Uplink Buffer Status (Uplink Buffer Status) Report, referred to as UL BSR), Uplink Data (UL Data) for information.

2) On the base station side, the downlink uses the DTX mode to transmit information; the uplink receiver turns on the central limited bandwidth to receive the information sent by the UE, where the central limited bandwidth refers to the UE contiguously expanding the frequency band at the uplink center frequency, and the bandwidth of the frequency band may be 6 RB.

3) On the base station side, the downlink uses the DTX mode to transmit information, the downlink data is buffered in the sleep state, and is transmitted at the next activation time; meanwhile, the uplink receiver is turned off.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, the base station may also refer to a cell of the base station, and the operation of the base station may also be implemented by a cell of the base station. A base station in the embodiment of the present invention may refer to one base station or multiple base stations.

FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of Embodiment 1 of an activation state processing method provided by the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1 , the method includes:

5101. The base station receives uplink information sent by the UE.

Specifically, the uplink information may include at least one of the following: a scheduling request message, an uplink data arrival message, a buffer status report message, a new transmission data information of the UE, retransmission data information of the UE, random access request information of the UE, and the like.

The base station expands the activation time period in the current DTX mode according to the uplink information, or initiates a temporary activation time period. The activation period in the DTX mode may refer to an initial activation period or a regular activation period in the existing DTX mode. The initial activation period is an active period of time at the beginning of the DTX period. Generally, the initial period of activation is a fixed period of activation. The rule activation period is not necessarily at the beginning of the DTX period. In any period of time in the DTX cycle, the following specific embodiment is described by taking an initial activation time period as an example, wherein the initial activation time period can be replaced with a regular activation time period.

After transmitting the uplink information to the base station, the UE needs to receive the uplink information feedback message sent by the base station, so that some communication services can be completed. For example, the UE sends an uplink data arrival message to the base station, and the uplink data arrival can be confirmed after receiving the feedback message sent by the base station. . However, in the actual working process, the base station may be in a sleep state in the DTX mode. When the base station is in the sleep state, the base station does not send downlink information, that is, the base station cannot provide feedback on the uplink information sent by the UE. Therefore, after receiving the uplink information, the base station expands the activation time period according to specific requirements, or When the base station is in a sleep state, a temporary activation period is initiated, so that the base station can re-extend the activation period or the temporary activation period to send uplink information feedback information to the UE.

In this embodiment, after receiving the uplink information sent by the user equipment, the base station may extend the activation time period in the DTX mode or initiate the temporary activation time period according to the uplink information, so that the base station can respond to the uplink sent by the UE in time according to the requirements of the UE. information.

Further, in the above S102, the base station expands the activation time period in the current DTX mode according to the uplink information, or initiates a temporary activation time period, which may exist in different manners, for example:

1) The base station expands the activation time period in the current DTX mode according to the type of the uplink information, or initiates a temporary activation time period. The time period required for activation of different types of uplink information may be different, and the base station may determine whether to extend the activation period or initiate the temporary activation period according to the mapping relationship between different types of uplink information and activation time set in the protocol in advance. Of course, if it corresponds to the initial activation period, it is not necessary to extend the activation period or initiate the temporary activation period.

It should be noted that, when the base station receives multiple different types of uplink information, if the determined activation time has a coincident portion, the uplink information may share the coincidence activation time, that is, the base station may process multiple uplinks during the coincidence activation time. information.

2) The foregoing base station receives the uplink information that is sent by the UE and includes the recommended activation time period, and expands the activation time period in the current DTX mode according to the recommended activation time period, or initiates a temporary activation time period, where the The uplink information of the time period includes the start time and/or duration of the recommended activation time period.

It should be noted that, if the duration of the recommended activation period is preset in advance, the uplink information including the recommended activation period may include a start time, and then the recommended activation time is determined according to the start time and the preset duration. If the uplink information including the recommended activation period includes the duration, the base station may use the MAC CE, the physical layer indication information or the RRC layer information as a trigger condition, that is, the moment when the messages are received as the starting time, start the foregoing. It is recommended to activate the time period. If the uplink information including the recommended activation time period includes a start time and a duration, the recommended activation time period is determined according to the start time and the duration. Further, the base station may use a Medium Access Control Control Element (MAC CE), physical layer indication information, or Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer information to trigger the UE to enable the UE. Know the base station The active time period in which the active time period in the DTX mode is extended, or the temporary activation time period initiated.

The base station expands the activation time period in the current DTX mode according to the recommended activation time period, or sends a confirmation message using the recommended activation time period to the UE before the temporary activation time period is initiated. That is, the UE waits for the acknowledgment message replied by the eNB after transmitting the recommended activation period. If the UE receives the acknowledgment message sent by the eNB, the base station will be in the active state within the recommended time period.

Further, the base station expands the activation time period in the current DTX mode according to the type of the uplink information, or the base station includes the extended activation time period or the temporary activation time period before the temporary activation time period is initiated. The information is sent to the UE, where the time information includes an extended activation period or a start time and/or duration of the temporary activation period. Specifically, the base station may broadcast the foregoing time information by means of a broadcast, or may notify the UE by one of a dedicated signaling, a physical layer indication information, or a MAC CE or a combination thereof. In this way, the UE can listen to the downlink information only during the time period when the base station is in an active state, and can save some resources of the UE. It should be noted that, if the extended activation period or the duration of the temporary activation period is preset in advance, the time information may include a start time, and then the extended time is determined according to the start time and the preset duration. The activation time period or the temporary activation time period may be; if the time information includes the duration, the base station may use one of the MAC CE, the physical layer indication information or the RRC layer information sent by the received UE as a trigger condition, that is, The time at which these messages are received is used as the starting time to start the above-mentioned extended activation period or temporary activation period. If the time information includes a start time and a duration, the extended activation time period or the temporary activation time period is determined according to the start time and the duration.

Of course, if the base station is within the original initial activation time period, Upstream information feedback information, then there is no need to extend the initial activation time period or initiate a temporary activation time period. Before the uplink information feedback information sent by the base station, the base station may notify the UE of the activation time by using one of the broadcast message or the dedicated signaling, the physical layer indication information, the MAC CE, or a combination thereof, and then the UE receives the sending by the base station in the corresponding activation time period. The uplink information feedback information can be.

Receiving the uplink information feedback information sent by the base station in the time period can also save the resources of the UE.

Further, before the foregoing S202, the UE may send uplink information including the recommended activation period to the base station, so that the base station is in an active state during the recommended activation period. In this way, the UE directly proposes the appropriate time to the base station. Through this communication, the base station can be activated in a more reasonable time period, and can better meet the requirements of the UE.

If the time information includes the start time and the duration, the extended activation time period or the temporary activation time period is determined according to the start time and the duration.

This embodiment corresponds to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, and details are not described herein again.

In this embodiment, after the UE sends the uplink information to the base station, the base station determines the time in the active state according to the specific situation of the uplink information, and feeds back information to the UE in time, so as to avoid some task delays of the UE, and the UE is in the active state of the base station.

And the UE may propose to the base station a time period for sending the uplink information feedback information, so that the base station is activated within the recommended time period, so that the cooperation between the base station and the UE is more flexible.

FIG. 3 is a schematic flowchart of Embodiment 3 of an activation state processing method provided by the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the method includes:

S301. The base station sends downlink information to the UE.

For example, the downlink information may be a negative acknowledgement (NACK) message sent according to data sent by the UE, an acknowledgement (ACK) message sent according to data sent by the UE, a random access response message, a scheduling message of the UE, and the like.

The base station is configured to extend the active time period in the current DTX mode, or initiate a temporary activation time period, so that the base station responds to the downlink information feedback information sent by the UE when the base station is in an active state, similar to the foregoing embodiment. So that the base station can process the UE to send in time The downlink information feedback information is used to enable the UE to perform a further operation. After the base station sends the downlink information to the UE, the UE sends the downlink information feedback information to the base station according to the downlink information, and the base station needs to respond to the downlink information feedback information. If the base station is in the sleep state, the downlink information cannot be responded to. .

Taking the random access procedure of the UE as an example, after the base station sends a random access response message to the UE, the random access of the UE is not completed yet, and the UE needs to send the uplink data information to the base station after receiving the random access response message (equivalent After the downlink information feedback information is received, and the UE receives the response information of the base station to the uplink data information, that is, the UE sends the random access response information to the base station, the UE completes the random access process, and therefore, the base station according to the Specifically, the activation time period is determined, the original initial activation time period is extended, or the temporary activation time period is initiated, so that the subsequent base station can be in an active state after receiving the uplink data information sent by the UE, and timely send the random access response information to the UE.

In this embodiment, after transmitting the downlink information to the UE, the base station expands the activation time in the DTX mode, or initiates a temporary activation time period, so as to respond to the downlink information feedback information sent by the UE when the base station is in the active state, So that the UE can complete some tasks and tasks in time to avoid delays.

Specifically, the foregoing S302 may specifically have multiple implementation manners:

1) The base station expands an activation time period in the current DTX mode according to the type of the downlink information, or initiates a temporary activation time period.

2) The base station expands the activation time period in the current DTX mode according to the agreed activation time period included in the downlink information, or initiates a temporary activation time period. The following information includes the start time and/or duration of the foregoing appointment activation period. It should be noted that, if the duration of the appointment activation period is preset in advance, the downlink information including the appointment activation period may include a start time, and then the appointment activation time is determined according to the start time and the preset duration. If the downlink information including the agreed activation time period includes the duration, the base station may use one or a combination of the MAC CE, the physical layer indication information, or the RRC layer information sent by the received UE as a trigger condition, that is, the receiving condition is received. The time of the message is used as the starting time to start the above-mentioned agreed activation time period. If the downlink information including the appointment activation period includes the start time and the duration, the appointment activation time period is determined according to the start time and the duration.

In the specific implementation process, before the foregoing S302, the foregoing base station includes an extended activation period. The time information of the temporary activation period is sent to the UE, where the time information includes an extended activation period or a start time and/or duration of the temporary activation period. The base station may broadcast the foregoing time information by means of broadcast, or may notify the UE by at least one of dedicated signaling, physical layer indication information or MACCE. In this way, the UE can know the time when the base station is specifically in an active state to perform a subsequent interaction process. It should be noted that, if the extended activation period or the duration of the temporary activation period is preset in advance, the time information may include a start time, and then the extended time is determined according to the start time and the preset duration. The activation time period or the temporary activation time period may be; if the time information includes the duration, the base station may use one or a combination of the MAC CE, the physical layer indication information or the RRC layer information as a trigger condition, and the moment when the messages are received. As the starting time, the above-mentioned extended activation period or temporary activation period is started. If the time information includes the start time and the duration, the extended activation time period or the temporary activation time period is determined according to the start time and the duration. For further expansion, the UE may also trigger the extension of the activation time period in the current DTX mode of the base station by using the manner of transmitting the dedicated signaling, the physical layer indication information or the MAC CE to the base station, or initiate a temporary activation time period. The UE may also trigger the start time and duration by using one or a combination of dedicated signaling, physical layer indication information, and MACCE to the base station.

4 is a schematic flowchart of Embodiment 4 of an activation state processing method provided by the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the process includes:

S401: The UE receives downlink information sent by the base station.

The UE determines the receiving time according to the downlink information, and receives the uplink information feedback information sent by the base station in the receiving time.

Specifically, after transmitting the downlink information to the UE, the base station determines the time when it is in the active state according to the specific situation or the service requirement, for example, maintaining the original initial activation time period, expanding the original initial activation time period, or initiating the temporary activation time period. The base station then notifies the UE of the time period information it is determined to be active, so that the UE listens to the information transmitted by the base station to the UE during the time period in which it is active. Specifically, the base station may notify the UE by means of broadcast, or may notify the UE by using dedicated signaling.

In this embodiment, after receiving the downlink information sent by the base station, the UE determines the time when the base station is in an active state during the subsequent interaction with the base station, so that the UE receives the downlink information in the time period when the base station is in the active state. In this way, the UE can also save resources. In the specific implementation process, the foregoing S401 may be that the UE determines the receiving time according to the agreed activation time period in the downlink information, and receives the uplink information feedback information sent by the base station in the receiving time. After receiving the downlink information, the base station returns an acknowledgement message to the base station. After receiving the acknowledgement message, the base station is in an active state according to the original agreed time, for example, expanding the original initial activation time period or initiating the temporary activation time period.

FIG. 5 is a schematic flowchart of Embodiment 5 of an activation state processing method according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, the process includes:

S501. The base station determines that the first preset condition is met.

S501. The base station is maintained in a single state mode, or is switched from the DTX mode to the single state mode. When the base station is in the single state mode, the base station continues to be in an active state.

The DTX mode includes an active state and a sleep state, and the downlink information is not transmitted when the base station is in a sleep state. However, in a single mode, the base station will remain active, that is, the base station will be in a working state in each downlink subframe. Even if the base station is in an almost blank (ABS) subframe, the shared channel transmitting data will not transmit a signal, but Downlink control information is also sent on the control channel. That is, the function is the same when the base station is in the single mode and in the active state in the DTX mode.

The first preset condition includes any one of the following:

1) The UE that interacts with the above-mentioned base station cannot be configured as a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode. For example, if the UE is in the connected mode, but the UE's service cannot be configured as DRX, the base station will automatically leave the DTX mode, or the UE sends a request message to the base station to request the base station to leave the DTX mode, and then the base station enters the single mode.

2) The time period in which the base station is in an active state within a preset time is greater than a preset threshold. During a period of time, the base station may extend the original activation state time period according to some requirements of the UE, or temporarily initiate the activation time period in the original sleep state time period, and if the total time of the base station in the active state is greater than a certain period during this period of time Threshold, then you can switch to a single mode, so that the base station can meet the needs of the UE, and it is not necessary to always extend the activation state or temporarily initiate the activation state.

3) The number of times the base station initiates activation within a preset time is greater than a preset threshold. Similar to 2), if the base station always needs to be active, then the base station is switched to a single mode so that the base station can always work as if it were active, and there is no need to always initiate an activation.

4) In DTX mode, the above base station cannot provide services for UEs that interact with the above base station. At this time, the base station will automatically leave the DTX mode, or the UE sends a request message to the base station to request the base station. Leave the DTX mode and then enter the single mode after the base station. For example, the DTX mode in which the base station is in the DTX mode in which the base station can only transmit the reference signal in the active subframe, the reference information may be a reference signal used to measure the quality of the radio link between the UE and the base station, but not provided to the UE. Service, then the base station leaves the DTX mode upon receiving the connection establishment request message or random access channel (RACH) scrambling code of the UE.

Specifically, the base station leaves the DTX mode, and the control node of the base station or the neighboring node sends the indication information to indicate that the base station leaves the DTX mode. The receiving radio frequency of the base station is turned on, and the UE is detected to be close, or the neighboring base station has a large interference. Then automatically leave the DTX mode.

In this embodiment, when the base station satisfies the first preset condition, the base station maintains the single state mode, or switches from the DTX mode to the single state mode, so that the base station remains active all the time; When the frequency is more or more dense, the UE needs to be better satisfied, so that the UE can complete the work or task in time and avoid the delay. In addition, when the UE interacting with the base station does not support the DRX, that is, when the DTX mode of the base station cannot be matched, or when the base station cannot provide the service for the UE interacting with the base station in the DTX mode, the base station adjusts to the single state mode, so that the base station The cooperation with the UE is more flexible.

Further, if the base station determines that the second preset condition is satisfied, the base station remains in the DTX mode, or switches from the single state mode to the DTX mode.

Wherein, the second preset condition satisfies any one of the following:

1) There is no Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection between the above base station and the UE interacting with the base station.

2) The above base station configures the offset values of all UEs connected to the base station RRC at the same offset point in the DTX period.

3) The base station configures the DTX period as the minimum common divisor of the DRX period of all UEs having an RRC connection with the base station, or the minimum value of the DRX period of all UEs having an RRC connection with the base station.

If the base station is in the single mode state, then the base station is in the working state in each downlink subframe. In the above cases, the number or frequency of downlink information sent by the base station is low. If a single mode state is wasted, a lot of resources are wasted. Let the base station be in DTX mode, so that the base station will be in a sleep state for a period of time, which can save resources.

On the basis of the foregoing embodiment, after the base station switches from the single state mode to the DTX mode, the base station broadcasts the DTX parameter of the local cell or the neighbor cell in the cell where the base station is located; or, the base station A handover message containing DTX parameters is sent to the UE. The DTX parameters include the start time of the DTX cycle, the duration of the initial activation cycle, and the duration of the extended activation cycle. Specifically, the content included in the parameter is determined according to a specific situation in the DTX mode of the base station, for example, the initial activation time period is extended in the DTX cycle, and the parameter includes the duration of the extended activation period, if there is a temporary initiation in the DTX cycle. The activation time period, then the parameter may also include the start time and duration of the temporary activation time period and the like.
