Description

Communication cycle configuration method and device

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of wireless communications, and in particular, to a communication cycle configuration method and apparatus.

Background technique

In a cellular communication system, data is usually transmitted using Discontinuous Reception (DRX) technology to reduce the power consumption of the terminal. When using DRX technology for data transmission, the wireless communication node sets a DRX cycle for the terminal, so that the terminal performs periodic wake-up in the DRX cycle. After the terminal wakes up periodically, it starts to receive the downlink scheduling command and the downlink data; and when it does not need to receive the downlink scheduling command and the downlink data, it enters a sleep state, thereby achieving the purpose of saving terminal power consumption.

In the prior art, the wireless communication node can set the DRX cycle for the terminal, so that the wireless communication node can send data to the terminal when the terminal wakes up according to the DRX cycle, because the terminal is not continuously awake, so power can be saved. The arrival of data of many services is often irregular, such as instant communication data such as QQ. If the wireless communication node has data to send at a certain time, but this time is not the time when the DRX wakes up on the UE side, then the wireless communication node saves Data, wait until the UE's next DRX wakes up to send data to the terminal. At present, the DRX cycle setting is relatively short, in milliseconds, and the longest is currently 5120ms, so even if some data arrival time and the set DRX cycle do not match exactly, the data can be sent to the terminal in the next cycle. However, in the Internet Of Things application, the types of terminals accessing the same wireless communication node are diverse, and the business requirements are diverse. One of the more typical applications is characterized by a very long interval between two consecutive communications (such as a few days or months), and each communication time is short, the amount of data is small, but the number of such terminals Very, very much. Specific, such as power meter reading applications, the terminal may report a data packet for a period of one month, or may report a data packet for one week to report the consumption of electricity. What is the specific period depends on the business needs of the power company. For example, different packages will correspond to different charging models. For different terminals, once the customized packages are different, even if they are all the same meter reading service, the reporting period is different. For example, some applications require the terminal to periodically receive data from the network. This period depends on the service model of different service operators. This requires the terminal to wake up to receive data from the network at a specific time.

With the existing DRX technology, the DRX cycle value itself is too small to meet the business needs of IoT applications. The most important thing is that when the wireless communication node configures the DRX cycle, because of the lack of effective service model information at the service application level, it is impossible to accurately control the terminal at the appropriate point in time and network communication. If the DRX cycle set by the wireless communication node is longer than the DRX cycle actually required by the terminal, the delay of the terminal data transmission is too large, which affects the terminal service processing in time; if the DRX cycle set by the wireless communication node is shorter than the DRX actually required by the terminal. The cycle will wake up the terminal frequently when there is no data transmission demand, and increase the power consumption of the terminal.

It can be seen that the wireless communication node sets the communication cycle for the terminal by using the prior art, which is likely to cause the terminal data transmission delay to be too large or the terminal's power consumption to increase, which affects the normal operation of the terminal.

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. Based on embodiments in the present invention, the field All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts are within the scope of the present invention.

Devices such as the L2 Access Point (L2AP) and the Device to Device Relay User Equipment (D2D Relay UE).

In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal may be a user equipment (User Equipment, UE for short), a mobile station (Mobile Station, MS for short), and the like.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the core network control node may be a Mobility Management Entity (MME) or a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN).

In the embodiment of the present invention, the application server may be a device-to-machine server/gateway/proxy server (M2M sever/gateway/Proxy) or an application server/gateway/proxy server (APP sever/gateway/proxy).

In the embodiment of the present invention, the communication period may include a discontinuous reception (DRX) period and a discontinuous transmission (DTX) period, and may also include other periodicity between the terminal and the wireless network control node. The period used by the communication mode machine for communication.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the radio resource refers to one or more of information such as a communication time between the terminal and the wireless communication node, and a frequency and a data transmission power used by the terminal to communicate with the wireless communication node.

FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart diagram of an embodiment of a communication cycle configuration method according to the present invention. This embodiment can be performed by a wireless communication node.

Step 101: The wireless communication node acquires duration indication information corresponding to the terminal from the core network control node.

The wireless communication node may obtain the duration indication information in different manners according to different control nodes of the core network.

In a possible implementation manner, the application server may separately configure different communication periods for each terminal based on the service model information of the service application layer according to different terminal services, and the information will be in the form of the duration indication information. The communication cycle configured for each terminal is sent to the core network control node, and then the core The network control node forwards the communication cycle to the wireless communication node. The communication period can be a fixed duration.

In another possible implementation manner, the core network control node may separately configure different communication periods for each terminal according to the service model information of the service application layer according to different terminal services, and indicate by the duration. The form of the information sends the communication cycle to the wireless communication node.

The duration indication information may include terminal identification time and length information, and the terminal identifier is used to indicate the terminal corresponding to the duration indication information, where the duration information is the core network control node or the application server is the communication of the terminal according to the service requirement of the terminal. cycle. The duration indication information may include only one duration information, and may also include multiple duration information.

In a possible implementation manner, the duration information may include at least one set of bearer type duration indications, and each set of bearer type duration indications may be configured by one bearer type identifier and one duration, where the bearer type duration indication is used. When the terminal is instructed to have a bearer corresponding to the bearer type identifier between the wireless communication node, the duration of the bearer type duration indication is a wake-up period.

For example, when the length indication information includes a set of bearer type duration indications, the duration indication information is as follows: {terminal identifier S, (bearer type identifier C1, duration T1)}, wherein (bearer type identifier C1, duration T1) is a bearer type When the length indication information includes two sets of bearer type duration indication information, the duration indication information is as follows: {terminal identifier S, (bearer type identifier C1, duration T1), (bearer type identifier C2, duration T2)}; When the indication information includes the N sets of bearer type duration indication information, the duration indication information is as follows: {terminal identifier S, (bearer type identifier C1, duration T1), ..., (bearer type identifier Cn, duration Tn)}, where n is required Can be any value.

Further, each group of bearer type duration indications may further include a direction indication, where the direction indication may be an uplink indication U or a downlink indication D, where the uplink indication U is used to indicate that the terminal only uses the duration as the wake-up period. And periodically waking up an uplink data transmission function between the terminal and the wireless communication node, where the downlink indication D is used to instruct the terminal to periodically wake up between the terminal and the wireless communication node by using the duration as an awake period. Downstream data transfer function.

For example, when the long indication information includes a set of bearer type duration indication information, and includes an uplink indication U, the duration indication information is as follows: {terminal identifier S, (bearer type identifier C1, uplink indication U, duration T1)}, where The bearer type identifier C1, the uplink indication U, and the duration T1) are the bearer type duration indications; the current length indication information includes the N sets of bearer type duration indication information, and includes the bearer type of each group, and the duration indication information is as follows: {terminal identifier S, ( The bearer type identifier C1, the uplink indication U, the duration T1), ..., (the bearer type identifier Cn, the downlink indication D, the duration Tn)}.

In another possible implementation, the duration indication information may include a set of uplink duration indications and/or a set of downlink duration indications, where the uplink duration indication is used to indicate that the terminal is indicated by the uplink duration The specified duration is an awake period, and the uplink data transmission function between the terminal and the wireless communication node is periodically awakened, and the downlink duration indication is used to indicate the duration specified by the terminal by the downlink duration indication. For the wake-up period, the downlink data transmission function between the terminal and the wireless communication node is periodically awakened.

For example, when the duration indication information includes only the uplink duration indication, the duration indication information is as follows: {terminal identifier S, (upstream indication U, duration T1)}, wherein (upward indication U, duration T1) is an indication of the uplink duration; When the duration indication information includes only the downlink duration indication, the duration indication information is as follows: {terminal identifier S, (downstream indication D, duration T2)}; when the duration indication information includes both an uplink duration indication and a downlink duration indication, The duration indication information is as follows: {terminal identifier S, (upstream indication U, duration T1), (downward indication D, duration T2)}.

In another possible implementation manner, the duration indication information includes only a universal duration indication, where the universal duration indication is used to instruct the terminal to perform periodic wakeup under a predetermined condition, where the predetermined condition may be determined by a technician. It needs to be set in advance. The terminal can only wake up the uplink data transmission function by default under the predetermined conditions, or it can only wake up the downlink data transmission function by default.

For example, when the duration indication information includes only the universal duration indication, the duration indication information is as follows: {terminal identifier S, duration T1}.

Step 102: The wireless communication node generates configuration information including the duration indication information, where the duration indication information is used by the terminal to set a duration indicated by the duration indication information as an awake period, and performs periodic wakeup.

After receiving the duration indication information, the wireless communication node may correspondingly generate configuration information including the duration indication information.

In the IoT application, there are usually a large number of terminals under the same wireless communication node line, in order to solve the overhead caused by the wireless communication node to allocate wireless resources to the terminal. In another embodiment, the wireless communication node may also first configure, for the terminal, a radio resource used for data transmission with the wireless communication node; and generate radio resource indication information for indicating the radio resource; Then, configuration information including the duration indication information and the radio resource indication information is generated. The radio resource indication information is used to indicate that the terminal periodically wakes up the radio resources used for data transmission with the wireless communication node, so as to solve the overhead caused by the resource allocation process when a large number of terminals and network communications are performed.

The wireless communication node may also configure the wireless resource for the terminal in different manners according to the content included in the duration indication information.

In a possible implementation manner, when the duration information includes the bearer type duration indication, the wireless communication node may configure, for the terminal, the radio resource used by the bearer corresponding to the bearer type identifier for data transmission. In this manner, the wireless communication node can pre-configure different wireless resources for different bearers with the terminal. When the terminal has multiple bearers, multiple radio resources can be configured, and several bearers can also be configured to share one radio resource. For example, when the terminal has N bearers (N>=2), M radio resources (M<=N) can be configured.

In a specific configuration, when there are multiple different bearers between the terminal and the wireless communication node, the terminal may only configure the radio resources used for uplink data transmission of a certain bearer, or may only configure the downlink data transmission used by a certain bearer. The radio resource; or the radio resource used for the uplink data transmission of one of the bearers and the radio resource used for the downlink data transmission of the other bearer.

In another possible implementation manner, when the duration indication includes an uplink duration indication and/or a downlink duration indication, the wireless communication node may configure, for the terminal, uplink data when performing data transmission with the wireless communication node. Radio resources used for transmission or downlink data transmission. In this manner, the wireless communication node uniformly configures the radio resources used for each uplink data transmission and the radio resources used for downlink data transmission.

Further, as the wireless communication node configures the wireless resource mode, the wireless resource specified by the wireless resource indication information is also different. The radio resources specified by the radio resource indication information may be different according to different radio resource indication information, and the radio resources specified by the radio resource indication information may be different.

In a possible implementation, when the current length indication information includes the bearer type duration indication, the radio resource indication information may be correspondingly inserted into the bearer type duration indication, thereby obtaining configuration information.

For example, when the duration indication information is {terminal identifier S, (bearer type identifier C1, duration T1)}, and the radio resource indication information R1 is used to indicate the radio resource used by the bearer corresponding to the bearer type identifier C1 for data transmission, configuration The information may be {terminal identifier S, (bearer type identifier C1, duration T1, radio resource indication information R1)}.

For example, when the long indication information includes the N sets of bearer type duration indication information, the structure of the instantaneous long indication information is {terminal identifier S, (bearing type identifier C1, duration T1), ..., (bearing type identifier Cn, duration Tn) And the radio resource indication information R1 to Rn are respectively used to indicate the radio resource used for data transmission when the bearer type indicates the bearer corresponding to C1 to Cn, and the configuration information may be {terminal identifier S, (bearing type identifier C1, Duration T1, radio resource indication information R1), ..., (bearing type identifier Cn, duration Tn, none Line resource indication information Rn)}.

For example, when the long indication information includes the N group bearer type duration indication information, and each group bearer type duration indication includes a direction indication, the structure of the real length indication information is {terminal identifier S, (bearing type identifier C1, uplink) Instructing U, duration T1), ..., (bearer type identifier Cn, downlink indication D, duration Tn)} and radio resource indication information R1 to Rn are respectively used to indicate that the bearer type indicates that the bearer corresponding to C1 to Cn is for data transmission. When the radio resource is used, the configuration information may be {terminal identifier S, (bearing type identifier C1, uplink indication U, duration T1, radio resource indication information R1), ..., (bearing type identifier Cn, downlink indication D, duration Tn) , radio resource indication information Rn)}.

In another possible implementation manner, when the current length indication information includes an uplink duration indication or a downlink duration indication, the radio resource indication information may be correspondingly inserted into the uplink duration indication or the downlink duration indication, thereby obtaining configuration information.

For example, when the duration indication information includes only the uplink duration indication, the structure of the duration indication information is {terminal identifier S, (uplink indication U, duration T1)}, and the radio resource indication information R1 is used to indicate the wireless used for uplink data transmission. In the case of a resource, the configuration information may be {terminal identifier S, (upstream indication U, duration T1, radio resource indication information R1)}.

For example, the long indication information is {terminal identifier S, (upstream indication U, duration T1), (downstream indication D, duration T2)}, and the radio resource indication information R1 is used to indicate the radio resource used for uplink data transmission. When the radio resource indication information R2 is used to indicate the radio resource used for downlink data transmission, the configuration information may be {terminal identifier S, (upstream indication U, duration T1, radio resource indication information R1), (downstream indication D, duration T2, wireless) Resource indication information R2)}.

Step 103: The wireless communication node sends the configuration information to the terminal.

After the wireless communication node generates the configuration information including the duration indication information, the configuration information may be sent to the terminal. After receiving the configuration information, the terminal may perform the periodic wake-up according to the duration of the indication of the duration indication information, or the terminal may determine the wake-up period according to the duration specified by the duration indication information, and then Periodic wakeups are performed according to their determined cycles. After the terminal wakes up periodically, the wireless resource indicated by the radio resource indication information may be used to complete data transmission with the wireless communication node.

Due to the Internet of Things, the communication cycle of the terminal may be very large. For example, the terminal may perform periodic wakeup with a communication cycle of one month, and the duration of each wakeup is only millisecond. In this case, if the terminal has a clock An offset occurs, and a situation of premature wake-up or late wake-up may cause the terminal to lose communication with the wireless communication node, resulting in data transmission failure. Therefore, in actual use, the wireless communication node may send data to the terminal after the terminal wakes up for a certain time, so that the terminal has sufficient time to detect whether there is data from the wireless communication node after the periodic wake-up, so as to prevent the terminal side from being The data transfer caused by the clock offset failed. However, the method of using the terminal to wake up early can prevent the data transmission failure caused by the clock offset on the terminal side, but increases the duration of the terminal in the awake state, thereby causing an increase in the power consumption of the terminal.

Therefore, in another embodiment, the wireless communication node may further configure DRX parameter information for the terminal; then generate configuration information including the duration indication information and the DRX parameter information; and further include the duration indication information and the The configuration information of the DRX parameter information is sent to the terminal, and the DRX parameter information is used to indicate that the terminal periodically wakes up, and receives data sent by the wireless communication node according to the DRX mode indicated by the DRX parameter information. The DRX parameter information in the wake-up period can be configured by using an existing DRX mechanism. After the terminal periodically wakes up according to the communication cycle configured by the communication cycle configuration method in the foregoing embodiment, the terminal may further receive the data sent by the wireless communication node in a DRX manner according to the indication of the DRX parameter information.

It should be noted that the example of the duration indication information exemplified in the implementation of the present invention is only used to describe the substantial content that the duration indication information needs to be included, and is not used to limit the actual structure and form of the duration indication information. In practice, the wireless communication node generates configuration information, which may be generated by using the length indication information acquired from the core network control node, or may be generated by mapping, converting, and the like according to the need, for example, the base station from the core. The duration indication information acquired by the network control node is 7 days, and the wireless communication node sends an index number corresponding to the duration indication information to the terminal according to the correspondence between the preset duration indication information (eg, 7 days) and the index number (eg, 1).

In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, the configuration information may include the duration indication information and the radio resource indication information, or the duration indication information and the DRX parameter information, and may include the duration indication information and the radio resource indication. For information and DRX parameter information, the content and function of the long indication information, the radio resource indication information, and the DRX parameter information may be referred to the foregoing, and details are not described herein again.

In this implementation, the wireless communication node acquires duration indication information corresponding to the terminal from the core network control node; the wireless communication node generates configuration information including the duration indication information; the wireless communication node sends the configuration information to In the terminal, the duration indication information is used by the terminal to set a duration indicated by the duration indication information as an awake period, and perform periodic wakeup. With the embodiment, the wireless communication node acquires the duration indication information corresponding to the terminal from the core network control node, thereby acquiring the service application layer based on the core network control node. The business model information of the face sets an accurate communication cycle for the terminal, which can avoid the excessive delay of the data transmission of the terminal due to the excessive length of the DRX cycle, and can avoid the increase of the power consumption of the terminal due to the short DRX cycle.

2 is a schematic flowchart of another embodiment of a communication cycle configuration method according to the present invention. This embodiment can be executed by the terminal.

Step 201: The terminal receives configuration information including duration indication information, where the configuration information is sent by a wireless communication node, where the duration indication information is acquired by a wireless communication node from a core network control node.

The terminal receives the configuration information including the duration indication information, where the duration indication information may include at least one set of bearer type duration indications, or may also include at least one set of uplink duration indications and/or a set of downlink duration indications. In addition to the duration indication information, the configuration information may further include other information such as radio resource indication information, DRX parameter information, and the like, where the radio resource indication information is used to specify a data transmission between the terminal and the wireless communication node. The radio resource and the DRX parameter information are used to indicate that the terminal periodically wakes up according to the duration specified by the duration indication information, or receives data sent by the wireless communication node according to the DRX manner indicated by the DRX parameter information. For the content and structure of the information included in the duration information, the DRX parameter information, and the radio resource indication information, refer to the foregoing embodiment, and details are not described herein again.

Step 202: The terminal performs periodic wakeup with the duration specified by the duration indication information as the wakeup period.

The terminal may perform periodic wakeup in different manners according to the content included in the duration indication information.

In a possible implementation manner, when the duration indication information includes a bearer type duration indication, and the bearer type duration indicates that the bearer is specified between the terminal and the wireless communication node, the bearer type duration indication The specified duration is a periodic wake-up for the wake-up period.

For example, when the duration indication information is {terminal identifier S, (bearer type identifier C1, duration T1)}, and there is a bearer with a bearer type indicated as C1 between the terminal and the wireless communication node, the terminal may perform the wake-up period as the wake-up period. Wake up periodically.

For another example, the duration indication information is {terminal identifier S, (bearer type identifier C1, duration T1), (bearer type identifier C2, duration T2)}, and there is a bearer type labeled C1 between the terminal and the wireless communication node. When there is a bearer with a bearer type indicated as C2, the terminal may perform wake-up with both T1 as the wake-up period and wake-up with T2 as the wake-up period.

Further, the terminal may periodically wake up between the terminal and the wireless communication node according to the different duration of the indicated information, and the length of time indicated by the bearer type duration indication is a wake-up period. Uplink data transmission function or downlink data transmission function.

For example, when the duration indication information is {terminal identifier S, (bearer type identifier C1, uplink indication U, duration T1)}, and there is a bearer with the bearer type indicated as C1 between the terminal and the wireless communication node; the terminal may have a duration T1 The wake-up cycle periodically wakes up the uplink data transmission function between the terminal and the wireless communication node.

In another possible implementation manner, when the duration indication information includes an uplink duration indication, the duration specified by the uplink duration indication is an awake period, and periodically wakes up between the terminal and the wireless communication node. The uplink data transmission function; or, when the duration indication information includes a downlink duration indication, the duration specified by the downlink duration indication is an awake period, and periodically wakes up between the terminal and the wireless communication node. Data transfer function.

For example, when the duration indication information is {terminal identifier S, (upstream indication U, duration T1)}, the terminal may periodically wake up the uplink data transmission function between the terminal and the wireless communication node with the duration T1 as the wake-up period.

In another possible implementation manner, when the duration indication information includes only the universal duration indication, the terminal may wake up its uplink data transmission function or downlink data transmission function with the wireless communication node when the predetermined condition is met.

For example, when the duration indication information is {terminal identifier S, duration T1}, the terminal may periodically wake up the uplink data transmission function between the terminal and the wireless communication node according to the pre-default setting with T1 as the wake-up period.

In this embodiment, the terminal receives the configuration information including the duration indication information, where the configuration information is sent by the wireless communication node, where the duration indication information is obtained by the wireless communication node from the core network control node; the terminal indicates the information by the duration The specified duration is a periodic wake-up for the wake-up period. With the embodiment, the terminal can perform periodic wake-up according to the communication cycle acquired by the wireless communication node from the control node of the core network, thereby avoiding that the delay of the terminal data transmission is too large due to the excessive DRX cycle, and the DRX cycle can be avoided. Short causes the power consumption of the terminal to increase.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the configuration information may further include the radio resource indication information, the step 201 may specifically be:

Step 301: The terminal receives configuration information including the duration indication information and the radio resource indication information, where the radio resource indication information is used to specify a radio resource used by the terminal to perform data transmission with the wireless communication node.

After step 202, the method may further include:

Step 203: Perform the number of radio resources specified by the radio resource indication information and the wireless communication node. According to transmission.

The use of the wireless resource is different according to the radio resource indication information. The manner in which the terminal uses the wireless resource is also different.

In a possible implementation manner, when the radio resource indication information is used to indicate a radio resource used by the designated bearer for data transmission, the radio resource specified by the radio resource indication information performs data transmission of the designated bearer.

For example, when the configuration information may be {terminal identifier S, (bearing type identifier C1, duration T1, radio resource indication information R1)}, and the bearer with the bearer type indicated as C1 exists between the terminal and the wireless communication node, the terminal may After the periodic wake-up, the data transmission indicated by the bearer type C1 is performed by using the radio resource indicated by the radio resource indication information R1.

In another possible implementation manner, when the radio resource indication information is used to indicate that the radio resource used for the uplink data transmission is specified, the radio resource specified by the radio resource indication information performs uplink data transmission of the designated bearer. Or, when the radio resource indication information is used to indicate that the radio resource used for transmitting the downlink data transmission is specified, performing downlink data transmission of the designated bearer by using the radio resource specified by the radio resource indication information.

For example, when the configuration information is {terminal identifier S, (bearer type identifier C1, uplink indication U, duration T1, radio resource indication information R1)}, and there is a bearer with a bearer type designation C1 between the terminal and the radio communication node The terminal may perform uplink data transmission of the bearer whose bearer type is indicated as C1 by using the radio resource indicated by the radio resource indication information R1 after the periodic wakeup.

In another possible implementation manner, when the radio resource indication information is used to indicate a radio resource used for uplink data transmission between the terminal and the wireless communication node, the radio resource specified by the radio resource indication information is used for uplink. Data transmission; or, when the radio resource indication information is used to indicate a radio resource used for downlink data transmission between the terminal and the radio communication node, downlink data transmission is performed by using the radio resource specified by the radio resource indication information.

For example, when the configuration information is {terminal identifier S, (upstream indication U, duration T1, radio resource indication information R1)}, the terminal may use the radio resource indicated by the radio resource indication information R1 after the periodic wake-up. The wireless communication node performs data transmission.

According to this embodiment, the terminal can avoid the excessive delay of the data transmission of the terminal due to the excessive DRX cycle, and the terminal can also directly use the wireless communication because the power consumption of the DRX cycle is too short. The wireless resource indicated by the node communicates with the wireless communication node, thereby reducing resource consumption caused by the wireless communication node needing to allocate wireless resources to a large number of terminals.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the configuration information may further include the DRX parameter information, the step 201 may specifically be:

Step 401: The terminal receives configuration information including duration indication information and DRX parameter information, where the configuration information is sent by a wireless communication node, and the duration indication information is acquired by the wireless communication node from a core network control node.

After step 202, the method may further include:

Step 204: Receive data sent by the wireless communication node according to a DRX manner indicated by the DRX parameter information.

When the configuration information includes the DRX parameter, the terminal may perform periodic wake-up according to the duration specified by the duration indication information, and receive the wireless communication according to the DRX manner indicated by the DRX parameter information in each wake-up period. The data sent by the node.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the terminal may perform a periodic wakeup for the awake period according to the duration T1 indicated by the duration indication information, and the terminal receives the periodic awake after the T1 is the awake period, and adopts the DRX manner to receive the DRX manner after Tk is the DRX cycle. The data sent by the wireless communication node, where Tk is configured by the terminal according to the DRX parameter information, the length of T1 may be a time unit, and the length of Tk may be in milliseconds, for example, T1 may be 30 days, and Tk may be 30 milliseconds.

With the embodiment, the terminal can avoid the excessive delay of the data transmission of the terminal due to the excessive length of the DRX cycle, and the power consumption of the DRX cycle is too short, and the terminal can also avoid the data caused by the clock offset of the terminal side. The transmission failed and the power consumption caused by early wake-up was reduced.
