detailed description

The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the application and are not intended to be limiting.

The embodiment of the present application describes a paging method, a network side device, and a terminal, which can implement unified paging for a certain type of terminal, greatly reduce the number of air interface paging messages, and implement specific for a certain type or a certain terminal. Paging, informing the terminal to initiate a specific service.

It should be noted that the network side device may be a network element located on the access network or the core network side, and the terminal may be a mobile terminal, a fixed terminal, or various types of sensors, and the network side device forms a communication connection with the terminal. , data interaction between the network side device and the terminal.

Based on the network side device and the terminal described above, the following specific embodiments are proposed.

First embodiment

The first embodiment of the present application provides a paging method, and FIG. 1 is a paging method of the present application. A flowchart of the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the process includes:

Step 101: The network side performs customized paging information configuration on at least one terminal.

Here, the customized paging information includes at least one of the following: customized service type information, customized packet information; the customized service type information is used to indicate a service type of the corresponding terminal, and the customized group information is used by Indicates the group in which the corresponding terminal is located.

In actual implementation, the customized service type can be set according to the situation. In an implementation manner of the customized service type, the customized service type content needs to be standardized, especially involving multiple operators, such as roaming services. Etc., for different types of services, the strategy adopted by the terminal is different, and even the access resources are different, so it is necessary to rely on standards to be unified; for example, globally, a certain performance is collected for a certain series of GM models. Data information, this requirement must be completed across carriers.

In another implementation of customized business types, customized business types can also contain some non-standardized content, especially for vertical industries. For example, in the Internet of Vehicles, the type can be used to identify the car company, using the vehicle ID. As a basis for identifying a specific vehicle, the group ID is used as a basis for identifying vehicles of the same batch, and at this time, the customized service type can be customized by the same operator.

In actual implementation, in order to determine customized packet information, terminals having certain common attributes may be grouped together to formulate customized group information; for example, all sensors on the same car are used as the same group of terminals.

In this step, the configuration of the customized paging information for each terminal by the network side may include: configuring, by the network side, the customized paging information of the corresponding terminal by using a signaling manner or a pre-configuration manner; that is, the network side The customized paging information configuration signaling may be sent to the terminal to implement the configuration of the customized paging information of the terminal by using the signaling manner; the network side may also pre-configure the customized paging information of the terminal.

In practical applications, the operator or service provider can perform the terminal according to a specific attribute. Customized information configuration, where specific attributes are not restricted, for example, a specific attribute may include at least one of the following: a service type, a location, and the like.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a signaling process for configuring customized paging information of a terminal by using a signaling manner according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, after the terminal sends a random access request to the network side, the network side sends a notification to the terminal. The acknowledgment information of the random access completion; at this time, the process of the terminal initially accessing the network is completed; after the terminal initially accesses the network, the network side may use the ATTACH process to configure the customized paging information of the terminal. The signaling is sent to the terminal. Specifically, after the terminal sends an attach request to the network, the network side sends an Attach Accept message to the terminal, and carries the customized information in the Attach Accept message. Information configuration signaling, the customized information configuration signaling is signaling for configuring customized paging information of the terminal.

In an embodiment, after the network side sends the configuration signaling for configuring the customized paging information of the terminal to the terminal, the terminal configures its own customized paging information based on the configuration signaling. For example, the customized paging information of the terminal configuration may include one of the following: a service type of the terminal, and a group where the terminal is located.

Step 102: When the network side needs to send the customized paging information, the network side sends one or more customized paging messages to the terminal side, and each customized paging message carries the customized paging information that needs to be sent.

That is to say, in the paging message structure, an optional customized information is added, and the customized information is a structure, which includes multi-dimensional information, and includes at least one of the following: service type information, group number information, and the like.

In actual implementation, when the network side needs to page a group of terminals having certain common attributes, the network side may send the classified information determined by the customized paging information according to the need, and send a public customized paging to each type of terminal. Message; customized paging message is carried in the customized paging message.

In an implementation manner of the customized paging message, the customized paging message does not carry the identifier information of the terminal, such as the UE ID. In this case, it is no longer necessary to send the identification information of the terminal carrying the terminal for each such terminal. At this time, the network side can also flexibly provide paging policies, such as: paging only all terminals of a certain service type, or paging all terminals of a certain group, or paging a certain service type All terminals of each group are described below.

Here, when the customized paging information only includes the customized service type information, it indicates that all terminals configured with the customized service type in the network coverage need to be paged; the customized service type information may be a type parameter, It can be business description information; for example, when a large community installs and configures the Internet of Things related to the life service facility, it does not need to send each person to record the water, electricity and coal data one by one every month, as long as they are sent to the terminals through the network side. The customized paging message can be used. The customized paging information here is the usage data of the utility water that needs to be reported. In an implementation manner, the customized service type may further be subdivided, for example, the customized service type is the total power reported by the electricity meter, the flat electricity reported by the electricity meter, or the electricity reported by the electricity meter; and the terminal obtains the customized paging message, and obtains the The paging information is customized and matched with the customized paging information saved locally by the terminal, and the customized paging message is determined according to the matching result. If the response is required, the terminal directly reports the corresponding data by using the paging response.

When the customized paging information includes only the customized packet information, it indicates that paging needs to be initiated for all terminals configured with the customized packet information; in this case, the service type of the terminal is not restricted, and the paging is received. The service type of the terminal can also be the same type of customized service, or it can be a different customized service type; for example, in the case of unmanned vehicle performance monitoring, the network side requires all the elements with wireless sensors on a certain car. After the device reports the current data, all the wireless sensors on the car can be used as a group of terminals, and the network side can initiate customized service paging to the group of terminals to obtain real-time performance data of the car.

When the customized paging information includes customized service type information and customized group information, it is required to page all terminals in a customized group of a customized service type; When the paging object distribution range is large or relatively scattered, the paging target range can be narrowed down to a group of terminal objects containing a certain commonality, which can effectively prevent the access request storm phenomenon; also the Internet of Things related to the living service facility For example, if deployment is performed throughout the city, in order to prevent excessive access request messages, the terminal objects of this service type may be grouped by some commonality (ie, grouping of terminals by customized packet information). ), for example, by district/street/community/building. The specific grouping mode is determined by the operator and/or the service provider, and the customized service paging is distributed to the terminal, which can avoid the situation of access congestion.

In this step, when the customized paging message does not carry the identifier information of the terminal, the customized paging message may be sent in the following two manners.

The first mode: the network side sends one or more customized paging messages on all paging blocks of each paging cycle; in order to solve the access congestion problem of unified paging, time dimension isolation can be used under batch Sending a paging message; that is, dividing all paging blocks of each paging cycle into N batch paging blocks, sending the customized paging message N times in time dimension, N is greater than 1; The i-th batch of paging blocks is used when transmitting the customized paging message for the ith time, i takes 1 to N.

The second mode: the network side sends one or more customized paging messages on the public paging channel or the public paging block. In this case, the packet congestion mode can be used to solve the access congestion problem.

When the customized paging message is sent in the first manner, the paging message block monitored by the terminal is: determining, according to the identification information of the terminal itself, the paging block to which the terminal belongs, and the terminal is on the determined paging block. Monitor paging messages.

It should be noted that, when the customized paging message is sent in the first manner, if the core network side finds that the paging fails, the customized paging message may be sent to the terminal side in a conventional manner.

When the customized paging message is sent by using the second method, the network side sends the monitoring indication information to the terminal side before sending the customized paging message on the public paging channel or the public paging block. The interception indication information is used to indicate that the corresponding terminal listens to the public paging channel or the common paging block; that is, the terminal needs to increase the monitoring of the public paging channel or the common paging block.

In another implementation manner of the customized paging message, the customized paging message further carries identification information of a terminal. In this case, the customized paging message includes both customized paging information and an identifier of the terminal. The information indicates that the network side only needs to report one of the specified customized service data. In this case, only the terminal corresponding to the identification information carried in the customized paging message can receive and respond. After the customized paging message is received, the other terminal may find that the customized service type is configured, but the identification information of each terminal is not consistent with its own identification information. Does not respond to the received customized paging message.

In addition, when performing paging merging, it is also necessary to consider the customized service type information. If it is required for a certain terminal to report data of the same customized service type, it can be implemented by customizing the service type information + identifying the information list. . For customized paging and non-customized paging initiated by the network side, even if the same paging block is used, the combined paging cannot be performed.

It can be seen that, in the embodiment of the present application, based on the customized service type information and the identification information of the terminal, paging of a standard large-category or customized service may be performed on a certain terminal; based on the customized service type information and the customized group information. You can page the customized service for group users.

It should be noted that when the network side determines that the non-customized paging information needs to be sent, the paging can be initiated according to the traditional paging mode.

Step 103: The terminal monitors the paging message, and receives the customized paging message, and the customized paging information carried by the customized paging message is consistent with its customized paging information, and responds to the received customization. Paging message

Here, the terminal may listen to the paging message on the paging block to which the terminal belongs; or when the terminal receives the interception indication information sent by the network side for instructing the terminal to listen to the public paging channel or the common paging block. Thereafter, the paging message is monitored on a common paging channel or a public paging block.

Here, when the terminal determines that the customized paging information carried by the received customized paging message is inconsistent with its customized paging information, no response is made.

Here, when the customized paging information carried by the customized paging message received by the terminal is inconsistent with the customized paging information of the terminal, or the customized paging message does not carry the identification information of the terminal, the Any response.

Here, the responding to the received customized paging message includes: the terminal reporting the service data acquired by the terminal. For example, when the customized paging information includes only customized service type information, and the customized service type is power, the terminal may report the power usage data; and the customized paging information includes only customized group information. And when all the sensors on the car are classified into a group of terminals based on the customized grouping information, the sensors on the car can report the business data collected by the car.

That is, after the terminal receives the customized paging message, the customized paging information in the customized paging message may be parsed to confirm whether there is a customized service type belonging to itself; if the terminal finds the customized paging information The service type is its own customized service type, and the customized paging message is responded to.

It should be noted that when a certain terminal has multiple customized service types, the network side only needs to report the service data corresponding to a customized service type.

In addition, with the multi-dimensional development trend of application scenarios, the differentiation of business needs is also emerging, such as ultra-fast broadband services, low-latency ultra-reliable services, massive connection services, etc.; protocol standards have gradually begun to divide resources into networks, network side The radio resource access information of the system message is used to notify the terminal of the access resource usage conditions of different services; if the paging message carries the specific service type information, the terminal can use the corresponding radio access resource to access the network, and the network side can directly allocate the wireless. Resource

FIG. 3 is a signaling flowchart of allocating radio resources to a terminal according to a service type according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the network side may send a system information block (SIB) to the terminal, and may be carried in the SIB. The radio resources corresponding to the different services, such as the radio resources corresponding to the ultra-fast broadband service, the radio resources corresponding to the low-latency ultra-reliable service, and the radio resources corresponding to the mass-connected service; after the SIB is delivered to the terminal, the network side can send the service mode to The terminal initiates a random access request to the network side according to the received service mode, where the random access request carries the radio resource corresponding to the corresponding service, for example, the physical random access channel (Physical Random Access Channel, PRACH) Resource; after the random access is completed, the radio resources used by the terminal to receive the corresponding service are also determined.

In the embodiment, the customized paging message sent by the network side to the terminal side also carries the service mode of the terminal accessing the network, and the terminal accesses the service of the network. The mode is an ultra-fast broadband service mode, a low-latency ultra-reliable business model or a massively connected business model;

Correspondingly, after the terminal receives the customized paging message, the terminal may determine, according to the service mode of the terminal access network carried by the customized paging message, the radio access resource used when accessing the network, and use the determined The wireless access resource accesses the network.

By applying the paging method of the first embodiment of the present application, the air interface paging traffic can be reduced, the signaling interaction between the terminal and the network side can be reduced, the energy consumption of the terminal and the network side can be reduced, and the customized service flow can be implemented.

In addition, in the prior art, after receiving the paging, the terminal does not know what service is, and only after the access, the network side notifies the specific service of the terminal through subsequent interaction, such as data query, etc.; accordingly, in the present application In the first embodiment, the terminal can determine the service to be performed by paging, and can perform a customization process to reduce interaction with the network side.

Second embodiment

In order to further embodies the purpose of the present application, further exemplification is provided on the basis of the first embodiment of the present application.

In the second embodiment of the present application, the customized paging information includes only customized service type information, and the network node on the network side, such as an evolved base station (eNodeB, eNB), constructs a customized paging message carrying customized paging information. And sent in all paging blocks of each paging cycle, here, can be sent on all paging blocks in batches by performing time dimension isolation. The terminal can listen to the paging block to which the terminal belongs to receive the paging message, and compare the received customized service type information with the customized service type information configured by itself. If the same, the terminal can respond to the customized paging message, such as Report the corresponding business data. For example, when the monthly gas usage data is collected, the network side sends such customized paging messages to all the service attribute terminals, and the gas monitoring terminal receives the service data report.

As shown in FIG. 4, the eNB sends a customized paging message to the outside, and carries a customized service in the sent customized paging message. Type 1, when any of the terminals receives the customized paging message, if the customized service type of the corresponding terminal is customized service type 2 or customized service type 3, the customized paging message is not responded, if the corresponding terminal itself The customized service type is customized service type 1, and the response is customized paging message.

FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a signaling process for performing customized paging according to a second embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 5, the network side terminal sends a customized paging message carrying customized service type information, at the terminal and the network side. After the random access is completed, the terminal reports the data corresponding to the customized service type information to the network side by using an extended service request (Extend Service Request) message, and the network side sends an extended service acceptance (Extend Service Accept) message to the terminal. The network side of the notification terminal has received corresponding data.

The terminal can listen to the paging block to which the terminal belongs to receive the paging message, and compare the received customized paging information with the customized paging information configured by itself. If the same, the terminal can respond to the customized paging message, such as Report the corresponding data. For example, when the monthly gas usage data is collected, the network side sends such customized paging messages to all the service attribute terminals, and the gas monitoring terminal receives the service data report. For example, monthly gas usage statistics, the network side performs customized paging for all terminals in a certain building area of the community (such as all buildings in the second phase); and even narrows the scope for paging in a certain building.

FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of a message mode of performing customized paging according to the third embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 6, the eNB sends a customized paging message, and the customized paging message carries the customized service type 1 And customized packet information for indicating packet 2, such that after all the terminals of packet 1 receive the customized paging message, the customized paging message is not responded; for each terminal in packet 2, if the service type is not Customized service type 1 does not respond to customized paging messages; if its service type is customized service type 1, it responds to customized paging messages.
