Description

一种发送信息的方法和装置及接收信息的方法和装置
本申请要求于2017年2月15日提交中国专利局、申请号为201710081916.8、申请名称为“一种发送信息的方法和装置及接收信息的方法和装置”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及领域通信领域,并且更具体地,涉及一种发送信息的方法和装置及接收信息的方法和装置。
背景技术
现有的无线通信系统中,为了减少终端设备的功耗,通常会启动非连续接收(Discontinuous Reception,DRX)模式,即,基站为终端设备配置有多个DRX周期,每个DRX周期分为工作时段和非连续接收时段(DRX时段),终端设备需要在工作时段内监测物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel,PDCCH)获取下行控制信息(Downlink Control Information,DCI)。若终端设备没有接收到任何与自己有关的DCI信息,则停止监听PDCCH信道,可以进入休眠状态。若终端设备接收到与自己有关的DCI信息,终端设备需要启动或重新启动DRX禁止定时器,在DRX禁止定时器时间之内,终端设备监测PDCCH信道,直到DRX禁止定时器终止,终端设备可以进入休眠状态。这样,终端设备在工作时段内无论是否能够监测到自己的DCI,都会监测PDCCH,比较浪费功耗。
为了节省终端设备的功耗,基站会在终端设备的每个DRX周期的工作时段之前,发送一个唤醒信号,用来告知终端设备是否需要在工作时段内醒来;若是唤醒信号指示终端设备需要在工作时段内醒来,那么意味着在随后的时段基本上会有终端设备的DCI,终端设备在自己的工作时段所属的DRX周期内都会处于激活状态;若是唤醒信号指示终端设备不需要在工作时段醒来,那么意味着在工作时段所属的DRX周期内基本上不会有终端设备的DCI,终端设备在随后的DRX周期内都会进行休眠。这样,避免了在没有终端设备的DCI信令的情况下,终端设备还需要醒来监测PDCCH,能够有效地减少终端设备的功耗。
但是,由于唤醒信号是在DRX周期之前发送的,终端设备不仅需要在工作时段之前醒来接收唤醒信号,若是确实需要唤醒终端设备,终端设备还需要在工作时段或工作时段所属的DRX周期醒来,比较浪费功耗,尤其针对于网络设备需要频繁唤醒终端设备的情况,更是浪费终端设备的功耗。
因而,如何减少终端设备的功耗,已成为业界亟需解决的问题。

如图1所示,终端设备116与天线112和114通信,其中天线112和114通过前向链路118向终端设备116发送信息,并通过反向链路120从终端设备116接收信息。此外,终端设备122与天线104和106通信,其中天线104和106通过前向链路124向终端设备122发送信息,并通过反向链路126从终端设备122接收信息。
例如,在频分双工(Frequency Division Duplex,FDD)系统中,例如,前向链路118可利用与反向链路120所使用的不同频带,前向链路124可利用与反向链路126所使用的不同频带。
再例如,在时分双工(Time Division Duplex,TDD)系统和全双工(Full Duplex)系统中,前向链路118和反向链路120可使用共同频带,前向链路124和反向链路126可使用共同频带。
被设计用于通信的每个天线(或者由多个天线组成的天线组)和/或区域称为网络设备102的扇区。例如,可将天线组设计为与网络设备102覆盖区域的扇区中的终端设备通信。在网络设备102通过前向链路118和124分别与终端设备116和122进行通信的过程中,网络设备102的发射天线可利用波束成形来改善前向链路118和124的信噪比。此外,与网络设备通过单个天线向它所有的终端设备发送信号的方式相比,在网络设备102利用波束成形向相关覆盖区域中随机分散的终端设备116和122发送信号时,相邻小区中的移动设备会受到较少的干扰。
在给定时间,网络设备102、终端设备116或终端设备122可以是无线通信发送装置和/或无线通信接收装置。当发送数据时,无线通信发送装置可对数据进行编码以用于传输。
具体而言,无线通信发送装置可获取(例如生成、从其它通信装置接收、或在存储器中保存等)要通过信道发送至无线通信接收装置的一定数目的数据比特。这种数据比特可包含在数据的传输块(或多个传输块)中,传输块可被分段以产生多个码块。
此外,该通信系统100可以是公共陆地移动网络(Public Land Mobile Network,PLMN)网络或者D2D网络或者M2M网络或者临时组成网络或者WLAN网络或者其他网络,图1只是举例的简化示意图,网络中还可以包括其他网络设备,图1中未予以画出。
图2示出了网络设备为终端设备配置的DRX模式的结构示意图。在图2中,任一个DRX周期包括两个时段,即工作时段和非连续接收时段(DRX时段),在工作时段内,该终端设备处于激活状态,用于监测PDCCH,从而获取与自己相关的DCI信令,在DRX时段,终端设备可以处于休眠状态也可以处于激活状态。若终端设备没有接收到任何与自己有关的DCI信息,则停止监听PDCCH信道,在DRX时段可以进入休眠状态。若终端设备接收到与自己有关的DCI信息,终端设备需要启动或重新启动DRX禁止定时器,在 DRX禁止定时器时间之内,终端设备监测PDCCH信道,直到DRX禁止定时器终止,终端设备可以进入休眠状态,如图2所示的DRX周期#B中所示的DRX禁止定时器时长。
这样,终端设备在工作时段内无论是否能够监测到与自己相关的DCI,都会至少在工作时段内要监测PDCCH信道,比较浪费功耗。
为了节省终端设备的功耗,现有技术提供一种发送和接收唤醒信号的方法,网络设备会在终端设备的每个DRX周期的工作时段之前的时段(为了便于区分和理解,记为唤醒时段)发送一个唤醒信号,用于指示终端设备是否在随后的工作时段醒来:若是该唤醒信号指示该终端设备在随后的工作时段醒来,那么,意味着该终端设备需要在随后DRX周期的工作时段醒来进行监测PDCCH信道;若是该唤醒信号指示该终端设备在随后DRX周期的工作时段不需要醒来,那么,该终端设备在随后的工作时段以及该工作时段所属的整个DRX周期都会不需要监测PDCCH信道,可以进入休眠状态。
图3示出了在现有技术中采用唤醒信号时,终端设备在DRX模式下确定是否休眠的行为示意图。如图3所示,以图3中的第一个DRX周期和第二个DRX周期为例,对终端设备的激活状态以及休眠状态进行具体说明。
在第一个DRX周期(为了便于理解与区分,记为DRX周期#A)之前的时段(为了便于区分与理解,记为时段#A),网络设备发送唤醒信号,终端设备在该时段#A进入激活状态,接收该唤醒信号,该唤醒信号指示终端设备在时段#A不需要监测DCI信令,进而,终端设备确定在该DRX#A内基本上没有与自己相关的DCI信令,那么,在该DRX#A内都可以进入休眠状态;
同理,在第二个DRX周期(为了便于理解与区分,记为DRX周期#B)之前的时段(为了便于区分与理解,记为时段#B),网络设备发送唤醒信号,终端设备在该时段#B进入激活状态,接收该唤醒信号,该唤醒信号指示终端设备在时段#A可以需要唤醒,进而,终端设备确定在该DRX#B内基本上有与自己相关的DCI信令,那么,在该DRX#B的工作时段会监测PDCCH,并根据监测结果,确定何时停止监测PDCCH。例如,在DRX周期#B中,终端设备在DRX禁止定时器的预设时长内一直监测PDCCH,在DRX禁止定时器的预设时长结束后,再次进入休眠状态。。
但是,由于唤醒信号是在DRX周期之前发送的,终端设备不仅需要在工作时段之前醒来接收唤醒信号,若是确实需要唤醒终端设备,终端设备还需要在工作时段或工作时段所属的DRX周期醒来,比较浪费功耗,尤其针对于网络设备需要频繁唤醒终端设备的情况,更是浪费终端设备的功耗。
因此,本申请实施例提供了一种发送信息的方法和装置以及接收信息的方法和装置,能够很好地解决上述问题。
需要说明的是,在本申请实施例中,终端设备监测PDCCH的目的是为了获取DCI信令,即监测PDCCH是为了解调和解码PDCCH上承载的DCI控制信号,进而获取DCI,确认是否有发送给自己的DCI信令。因而,终端设备监测PDCCH也可以理解为终端设备监测DCI,本申请实施例中,如无特别说明,终端设备监测PDCCH等同于终端设备监测DCI。后续为了描述方便,统一描述为终端设备监测DCI。
图4是从设备交互的角度示出了本申请实施例的信息的发送过程和接收过程的示意性交互图。该方法应用于时域上配置有非连续接收DRX周期的通信系统中,每个DRX周 期内包括一个工作时段,该每个DRX周期的起始时刻与对应的工作时段的起始时刻相同,该工作时段为用于监测下行控制信息DCI的时段。
可选地,该网络设备可以是接入点,本申请实施例并不限于此。
以下,不失一般性,以网络设备与第一终端设备的交互为例,详细说明根据本申请实施例的传输信息的方法。
应理解,第一终端设备可以为与在该网络设备覆盖范围内的多个终端设备中的任意一个终端设备,“第一”仅用于区分说明,而不应对本申请构成任何限定。
如图4所示,该方法200包括:
S210,网络设备确定第一指示信息,该第一指示信息指示第一终端设备在第一DRX周期内的第一时段之后的时段是否停止监测DCI,该第一时段属于所述第一DRX周期内的工作时段。
具体而言,该网络设备可以根据终端设备#1(即,第一终端设备的一例)在当前的业务需要等来确定指示信息#1(即,第一指示信息的一例),用于指示该终端设备#1在DRX周期#1(即,第一DRX周期的一例)内的时段#1(即,第一时段的一例)之后的时段(为了便于区分与理解,记为时段#2)是否停止监测DCI,该DRX周期#1可以是该网络设备为该终端设备#1配置的多个DRX周期中的任一个DRX周期,即,时段#2属于DRX周期#1。
时段#2可以是该DRX周期#1内的且在该时段#1之后的全部时段,也可以是在该DRX周期#1内的且在该时段#1之后的部分时段,具体可以根据系统预定的规则来确定。
例如,如前所述,若是指示信息#1指示终端设备#1需要在时段#2继续监测DCI,那么,终端设备#1需要在工作时段监测DCI,直到工作时段结束都没有收到包含给自己的调度信令的DCI,此时,时段#2位时段#1之后的部分时段;或者,
如果在工作时段收到包含给自己调度信令的DCI,则可以启动或重新启动DRX禁止定时器,在DRX禁止定时器时间之内,终端设备#1监测DCI,直到DRX禁止定时器终止,则不再监测DCI。若是终端设备#1监测DCI的结束时刻等于DRX周期#1的结束时刻,那么,该时段#2为DRX周期#1内的且在该时段#1之后的全部时段,若是终端设备#1监测DCI的结束时刻早于DRX周期#1的结束时刻,那么,该时段#2为DRX周期#1内的且在该时段#1之后的部分时段,包括时段#1后的工作时段,和时段#1后的DRX时段。
因为在时段#2之后就是DRX时段,DRX时段是要停止监测DCI,所以,也可以认为时段#2包括DRX时段,即时段#2是该DRX周期#1内的且在该时段#1之后的全部时段。
在本申请实施例中,该时段#1属于该DRX周期#1内的工作时段(为了便于区分与理解,记为工作时段#1),也就是说,该时段#1为该工作时段#1的部分时段。该时段#1可以是一个时间单元(也可以理解为时间粒度),构成时间单元的时间单位可以是一个符号,或者一个迷你时隙(Mini-slot),或者一个时隙,或者一个子帧(subframe)或者一个帧。其中,一帧在时域上持续时间可以是10毫秒,一个子帧在时域上的持续时间可以是1毫秒(ms),一个时隙由7个或者14个符号组成,一个迷你时隙可以包括至少一个符号(例如,2个符号或7个符号或者14个符号,或者小于等于14个符号的任意数目符号)。
那么,对应地,一个时间单元可以是至少一个符号,或者至少一个迷你时隙(Mini-slot), 或者至少一个时隙(slot),或者至少一个子帧(subframe),或者至少一个帧。
该时段#1可以是一个时间单元的部分时段,例如一个时间单元为1时隙,1时隙包含7个符号,该时段#1可以是1时隙中的前2个符号或者全部7个符号。
该时段#1还可以是几个时间单元,例如一个时间单元是1个符号,该时段#1是2个符号。
此外,该指示信息#1还可以指示包括DRX周期#1在内的L个DRX周期是否停止监测DCI,该L可以由网络设备预先通过相关信令通知终端设备#1,也可以包括在指示信息#1中,L为大于或等于1的正整数。
该网络设备在确定好该指示信息#1后,在该时段#1上发送该指示信息#1。从而,在S220中,该终端设备#1接收该指示信息#1。
进而,在S230中,该终端设备#1可以根据该指示信息#1,确定在时段#2上是否停止监测DCI。
如上所述,若终端设备#1确定自己需要在时段#2上继续监测DCI,那么终端设备#1可以在时段#2上按照一定规则监测DCI,例如,终端设备需要在工作时段监测DCI,直到工作时段结束都没有收到包含给自己的调度信令的DCI,或者,
如果在工作时段收到包含给自己调度信令的DCI,则可以启动或重新启动DRX禁止定时器,在DRX禁止定时器时间之内,终端设备#1监测DCI,直到DRX禁止定时器终止,则不再监测DCI。规则的确定有很多,本申请不做限定。
例如,该指示信息#1可以是大小为1比特的指示信息,例如,指示信息#1为{0},则指示终端设备#1不需要在时段#2上监测DCI,即停止监测DCI;如指示信息#1为{1},则指示终端设备#1需要在时段#2监测DCI。
可选地,网络设备可以将所确定的终端设备#1的时段#1通过相关信令通知终端设备#1。进而,终端设备#1在时段#1接收该指示信息#1。
当然,若是网络设备不向终端设备#1用于指示时段#1的相关信令,终端设备#1可以自己确定时段#1,或者,
终端设备#1可以从工作时段开始一直监测指示信息#1,一直到接收到指示信息#1,或者工作时段结束,或者接收到发送给自己的DCI。
因而,本申请实施例的提供的传输信息的方法,通过在第一终端设备中的工作时段内的部分时段(即,第一时段)上发送第一指示信息,该第一指示信息指示第一终端设备在该第一时段之后的时段是否停止监测DCI,对于需要唤醒的终端设备来说,本申请实施例中,第一终端设备由于不需要在工作时段之前醒来接收唤醒信号,仅仅在本来就需要醒来的工作时段接收第一指示信息,可以有效地减少第一终端设备的功耗,尤其针对于网络设备需要频繁唤醒第一终端设备的情况,更是有效地节省了第一终端设备的功耗。
本申请实施例中,网络设备可以根据该终端设备#1的工作时段#1确定时段#1(情况1),或者,根据第一终端设备组(多个终端设备组中的任一个终端设备组)中所有终端设备的工作时段确定时段#1(情况2),下面,结合具体实施例,针对上述两种情况进行详细说明。
情况1
该网络设备根据该终端设备#1的工作时段#1确定时段#1。
此种情况下,该网络设备向该终端设备#1发送指示信息#1,该指示信息#1可以视为针对该终端设备#1专有的专用信息,换句话说,指示信息#1,可以仅仅包括用于指示第终端设备#1在DRX周期#1内的时段#1之后的时段是否停止监测DCI的信息,此时,指示信息#1可以通过终端设备#1特定的专用信令来承载,网络设备可以在该终端设备#1的每个DRX周期,该网络设备都会发送指示信息#1,或者,网络设备可以在该终端设备#1的K个DRX周期,发送一次指示信息#1,此时,网络设备会通知终端设备#1K的取值。对于K大于1的情况,也相当于终端设备#1的DRX周期变长,网络设备也可以通过始终令K=1,而通过更改DRX周期的长度来适应终端业务的需要发送第一消息。由于二者效果等同,本申请以K=1为例来说明本申请如何确定时段#1。
该时段#1可以是该工作时段#1的任何时段,进一步地,该时段#1可以属于该工作时段#1中的第一个时间单元,时段#1只要在工作时段#1内,都在本申请实施例的保护范围内。
这里的时间单元,指网络设备调度终端业务的调度时间,可以是一个或者几个符号,也可以是一个或者几个时隙,一个或者几个微时隙,一个或者几个子帧,一个或者几个帧,终端设备#1的工作时段#1,可以包括一个或者几个时间单元,例如在图2中,终端设备的工作时段#1包含2个子帧。一个时间单元中,可以用其中的全部或者部分符号来发送指示信息#1。例如时间单元为1个子帧,一个子帧包含14个符号的情况下,可以用其中前2个符号来发送指示信息#1,此时,时段#1为这2个符号。
情况2
该网络设备根据多个终端设备的工作时段确定时段#1。
此种情况下,该指示信息#1,包括多个终端设备在该时段#1之后的是否停止监测DCI的信息,即组信息,针对该组信息的具体内容后续进行详细说明。
可选地,该第一终端设备属于第一终端设备组,该第一终端设备组包括N个终端设备,该N个终端设备中每个终端设备的DRX周期为第二DRX周期的正整数倍,该第二DRX周期为该网络设备为该第一终端设备组配置的多个DRX周期中时间长度最小的DRX周期,该N为大于0的整数,
该N个终端设备中的第i个终端设备的工作时段与该具有第二DRX周期的终端设备的工作时段至少部分重合,所述第一时段属于所述第i个终端设备的工作时段与具有该第二DRX周期的终端设备的工作时段的重合时段,所述i∈[1,N]。
具体而言,该网络设备将在其覆盖范围内的多个终端设备进行分组,形成至少一个终端设备组,该网络设备根据一个组内的多个终端设备的DRX周期以及工作时段确定时段#1,进而在时段#1上发送指示信息#1,该指示信息#1用于指示组内各个终端是否停止监测DCI。
为了便于描述,下面以至少一个终端设备组中的任一个终端设备组,即第一终端设备组为例,对本申请实施例进行详细说明。
该终端设备组#1中包括该终端设备#1在内的N个终端设备,时域上,该终端设备组#1中每个终端设备的DRX周期满足条件:每个终端设备的DRX周期为第二DRX周期的正整数倍,该第二DRX周期为该网络设备为该N个终端设备配置的多个DRX周期中时间长度最小的DRX周期。换句话说,该终端设备组#1中的多个DRX周期中的任意两个 DRX周期可以相同,也可以相差整数倍的第二DRX周期。
其中,该N个终端设备中的第i个终端设备表示的是该N个终端设备中的任一个终端设备,i∈[1,N],表示的是将N个终端设备中的所有终端设备进行遍历。
作为示例而非限定,假设N=3,以该终端设备组#1有三个终端设备,即该终端设备#1和该终端设备组#1中的另两个终端设备(为了便于区分与理解,记为终端设备#2和终端设备#3)为例对终端设备组#1中的DRX周期进行说明。
例如,如图5所示,终端设备组#1中包括终端设备#1、终端设备#2和终端设备#3,终端设备#1,终端设备#2,终端设备#3的DRX周期相同,工作时段#1为终端设备#1的DRX周期内的工作时段,工作时段#2为终端设备#2的DRX周期内的工作时段,工作时段#3为终端设备#3的DRX周期内的工作时段。
例如,终端设备组#1包含3个终端设备,终端设备#1配置的DRX周期为120毫秒,该终端设备#2配置的DRX周期为240毫秒,该终端设备#3配置的DRX周期为360毫秒,终端设备#1的工作时段#1为每120毫秒中的前3毫秒,终端设备#2的工作时段#2为每240毫秒的前4毫秒,终端设备#3的工作时段#3是每360毫秒中的第2-5毫秒,则终端设备组的第二DRX周期为120毫秒,终端设备#1的DRX周期为第二DRX周期,终端设备#2、终端设备#3均与终端设备#1的工作时段具有重合时段。
针对时段#1属于N个工作时段在该DRX周期内的重合时段,本申请实施例可以有两种情况(即,情况2A和情况2B),下面,结合图6和图7,针对上述两种情况分情况进行详细说明。
为了便于描述,以N=3,每个终端设备的DRX周期的时间长度相等,对本申请实施例中的时段#1进行详细说明,但本申请实施例并不限于此,图6和图7仅为示意性说明,不应对本申请实施例构成任何限定。
情况2A
该N个终端设备对应的N个工作时段中至少两个工作时段的起始时刻不相同。
如图6所示,终端设备组#1中包括终端设备#1、终端设备#2和终端设备#3,终端设备#1,终端设备#2,终端设备#3的DRX周期相同,工作时段#1为终端设备#1的DRX周期内的工作时段,工作时段#2为终端设备#2的DRX周期内的工作时段,工作时段#3为终端设备#3的DRX周期内的工作时段。
具体地,以DRX周期为120毫秒为例,终端设备#1的工作时段#1为:n1+120*K1毫秒,其中,n1=1,2,3,n1为工作时段#1所在的子帧在120毫秒DRX周期内以1ms为单位的编号,K为任意非负整数,也就是说,终端设备#1的工作时段#1的对应的时间长度为3毫秒;终端设备#2的工作时段#2为:n2+120*K2毫秒,其中,n2=0,1,n2为工作时段#2所在的子帧在120毫秒DRX周期内以1ms为单位的编号,K为任意非负整数,也就是说,终端设备#2的工作时段#2的对应的时间长度为3毫秒;终端设备#3的工作时段#3为:n3+120*K3毫秒,其中,n3=0,1,2,3,n3为工作时段#3所在的子帧在120毫秒DRX周期内以1ms为单位的编号,K为任意非负整数,也就是说,终端设备#3的工作时段#3的对应的时间长度为4毫秒,三个终端设备的工作时段都有部分重合,即图6中所示的重合时段。
继续如图6所示,重合时段中包括该时段#1,该时段#1可以属于该重合时段中的任 一个时间单元(即,时间粒度),该时间单元可以是至少一个符号,或者,可以是至少一个迷你时隙,或者,可以是至少一个时隙,或者,可以是至少一个子帧,具体大小可以由基站根据系统资源情况确定。
进一步地,时段#1可以为第一时间单元中承载DCI的符号。
例如,第一时间单元可以为一个时隙,一个时隙包含7个符号,其中前两个符号用于承载DCI,那么,时段#1即为该重合时段的第一个时隙的前两个符号。时段#2即为时段#1之后的时段,该时段#2可以是该DRX周期#1周期内除该时段#1之外的在时段#1之后的全部时段,也可以是在该时段#1之后的部分时段,具体时间长度视预设的时段以及是否需要监测DCI而定。
情况2B
可选地,该N个终端设备的N个工作时段的起始时刻相同,该N个终端设备与该N个工作时段一一对应。
也就是说,每个工作时段都对应一个终端设备。
如图7所示,终端设备组#1中包括终端设备#1、终端设备#2和终端设备#3,终端设备#1,终端设备#2,终端设备#3的DRX周期相同,且工作时段#1、工作时段#2和工作时段#3的起始时刻都相同,工作时段#1为终端设备#1的DRX周期内的工作时段,工作时段#2为终端设备#2的DRX周期内的工作时段,工作时段#3为终端设备#3的DRX周期内的工作时段,三个工作时段的重合时段如图7所示。
继续如图7所示,重合时段中包括该时段#1,该时段#1可以属于该重合时段中的任一个时间单元(即,时间粒度),例如多个时间单元中的第一个时间单元,该时间单元可以是至少一个符号,或者,可以是至少一个迷你时隙,或者,可以是至少一个时隙,或者,可以是至少一个子帧,具体大小可以由基站根据系统资源情况确定。
进一步地,时段#1可以为第一时间单元中承载DCI的符号。
例如,第一时间单元可以为一个时隙,一个时隙包含7个符号,其中前两个符号用于承载DCI,那么,时段#1即为该重合时段的第一个时隙的前两个符号。
时段#2即为时段#1之后的时段,该时段#2可以是该DRX周期#1内除该时段#1之外的在时段#1之后的全部时段,也可以是在该时段#1之后的部分时段,具体时间长度视预设的时段以及是否需要监测DCI而定。
为了能够减少终端设备的功耗,时段#1可以位于重合时段前面的时段。即,
可选地,该第一时段属于该重合时段的第一个时间单元。
具体而言,该重合时段的第一个时间单元就是以该重合时段的起始位置作为起始时刻,以一个时间单元的长度作为时间长度的时间单元,一个时间单元的长度同前所述,此处不再赘述。
更进一步地,该时段#1可以是该第一个时间单元中承载DCI的至少一个符号。具体继续以图6和图7所示的时段#1为例,图6所示的时段#1即为该重合时段的第一个时间单元中的前2个符号,图7所示的时段#1也为该重合时段的第一个时间单元中的前2个符号。
这样,如图8所示,以终端设备#1的两个DRX周期为例,在同样的两个DRX周期内,现有技术中终端设备#1需要醒来3次,本申请实施例中,终端设备#1只需要醒来2 次,且,当终端设备#1在DRX周期内需要监测DCI时,终端设备#1处于激活状态的时间少于现有技术,从而,整体上来说,终端设备#1处于激活状态的时间少于现有技术,有效地减少了终端设备#1的功耗。
即,在多个终端设备的重合时段的第一个时间单元上的至少部分时段发送第一指示信息,能够使得第一终端设备在重合时段的开始就能够确定自己是否需要在第一时段之后的时段停止监测DCI,可以有效地减少功耗,尤其对于多个终端设备的起始时刻相同的情况,更能够有效地减少第一终端设备的功耗。
针对于上述两种分组情况以及情况1,网络设备可以视终端设备的个数来灵活选择,本申请实施例没有任何限定。
例如,网络设备可以设置两个预设阈值,第一预设阈值小于第二预设阈值:
网络设备可以根据终端设备的DRX周期和工作时段设置该第一预设阈值和该第二预设阈值:
若是在一个时间单元需要通知是否停止监测DCI的终端设备数量小于第一预设阈值,则网络设备采用专用信令通知终端设备第一信息;或者,
若是在一个时间单元需要通知是否停止监测DCI的终端设备数量大于等于第一预设阈值,则采用分组的方式通知终端设备第一信息,进一步地,若是在一个时间单元需要通知是否停止监测DCI的终端设备数量小于等于第二预设阈值,则将终端设备分为一组;若是在一个时间单元需要通知是否停止监测DCI的终端设备数量大于第二预设阈值,则将终端设备分为多组。
如上所述,当该网络设备需要根据多个终端设备的工作时段确定时段#1时,该网络设备可以向终端设备发送组信息,具体如下:
可选地,该网络设备在该第一时段上,向该第一终端设备发送该第一指示信息,包括:
该网络设备在该第一时段上,向该第一终端设备发送第二指示信息,该第二指示信息包括该第一指示信息,且该第二指示信息还包括N-1个第三指示信息,该N-1个第三指示信息中的第p个第三指示信息与N-1个终端设备中的第p个终端设备一一对应,该N-1个终端设备为该N个终端设备中除该第一终端设备之外的终端设备,该第p个第三指示信息指示该第p个终端设备在该第一时段之后的时段是否停止监测DCI,该p∈[1,N-1]。
具体而言,网络设备在将多个终端设备进行分组后,可以不需要在每个终端设备的时段#1上向每个终端设备发送一个与指示信息#1功能相同的指示信息,而可以向一个组内的所有终端设备发送一个组信息,即指示信息#2(即,第二指示信息中的一例),该指示信息#2中不仅包括终端设备#1的指示信息#1,该包括多个与指示信息#1功能相同的指示信息,即指示信息#3(即,第三指示信息中的一例)。对于除终端设备#1之外的N-1个指示信息#3,该N-1个第三指示信息中的第p个第三指示信息与N-1个终端设备中的第p个终端设备一一对应,也就是说,一个指示信息#3对应一个终端设备,用于指示对应的终端设备在该时段#1之后的时段是否停止监测DCI。
这样,相比于网络设备需要多次向多个终端设备发送指示信息,网络设备向第一终端设备组内的终端设备发送一个组信息(第二指示信息),避免网络设备频繁发送信息而造成的信令冗余。
可选地,在该网络设备向该第一终端设备发送该第一指示信息之前,该方法还包括:
该网络设备向该第一终端设备发送第四指示信息,该第四指示信息包括组标识信息和/或第一设备标识信息,该组标识信息用于标识该第一终端设备组,该第一设备标识信息用于标识该第一终端设备。
具体而言,该网络设备将多个终端设备进行分组后,该终端设备#1在需要在指示信息#2中确定自己的指示信息#1,那么,该网络设备可以向终端设备#1发送指示信息#4(即,第四指示信息的一例),该指示信息#4中可以包括组标识信息和设备标识信息#1(即,第一设备标识信息的一例),用于指示终端设备#1确定自己的指示信息#1。
进一步地,该终端设备可以首先根据组标识信息确定自己所在的组,进而根据设备标识信息#1确定自己的信息是组内的多个指示信息的哪一个。
该组标识信息可以使用组无线网络临时标识(Group Radio Network Tempory Identity,G-RNTI)标识终端设备组,也可以使用组内终端设备的重合时段所在的子帧(或、时隙、迷你时隙、符号)的编号等来作为组标识信息,也可以为任意数值。
实际上,针对终端设备组进行标识时,可以使用重合时段所属的时间单元的编号进行标识。
例如,当终端设备组#1中的多个终端设备的工作时段的起始位置相同,可以使用起始位置所在的子帧(或、时隙、迷你时隙、符号)的编号作为组标识信息。若系统中的最小DRX周期为120毫秒,则将以在120毫秒中的第1个子帧作为工作时段开始时刻的终端作为第一组,将以在120毫秒中的第2个子帧作为工作时段开始时刻的终端作为第二组,以此类推。这样,终端就可以根据自己的DRX配置参数,获得自己的组号。
该设备标识信息#1可以是终端设备#1的ID标识,或者其他用于标识终端设备的信息,例如,终端设备的小区无线网络临时标识(Cell Radio Network Tempory Identity,C-RNTI)等,或者由网络设备为终端设备在组内分配标识,并通过信令通知终端设备,例如假设组大小为16,网络设备确定终端设备#1的标识例如是0,则可以通过信令通知终端设备#1终端设备#1在组中的标识为0。
当组标识信息使采用的是终端设备的重合时段所在的帧(或、时隙、迷你时隙、符号)的编号等来作为组标识信息,该指示信息#4中可以不包括组标识信息;
同理,当设备标识信息#1采用的网络设备和终端设备之间约定好的双方已知的标识(例如,终端设备#1的ID标识等),该指示信息#4中也可以不包括设备标识信息#1;
当然,当组标识信息使采用的是终端设备的重合时段所在的帧(或、时隙、迷你时隙、符号)的编号等来作为组标识信息,且设备标识信息#1采用的网络设备和终端设备之间约定好的双方已知的标识(例如,终端设备#1的ID标识等),网络设备也可以不用向终端设备发送该指示信息#4,终端设备可以根据与网络设备之间约定的规则获知自己的所在的终端设备组的组号以及设备标识。
应理解,该指示信息#4中不仅可以包括终端设备#1的设备标识信息#1,也可以包括终端设备组#1中的其他终端设备的设备标识信息,也可以包括用于表示组内终端设备的个数的指示信息等。
可选地,该第一指示信息的传输方式与DCI的传输方式相同。
具体而言,承载所述第一指示信息的信道的传输方式与承载DCI的信道的传输方式相同。例如,都采用物理下行控制信道PDCCH的传输方式,或者类似PDCCH信道的的传 输方式,例如新空口(New Radio,NR)-PDCCH的传输方式,或者采用类似物理混合反馈指示信道(Physical HARQ Indicator Channel,PHICH)的传输方式,例如NR-PHICH的传输方式。
信道的传输方式包括信道的资源映射方式、调制方式、编码方式、多天线传输方式等,资源映射方式指承载信息的时频资源的选择。
现有技术中,承载唤醒信号的信道是新的信道(为了便于理解与区分,记为信道#A),基站在信道#A上的传输方式与基站在承载DCI信令的信道(为了便于理解与区分,记为信道#B)上的传输方式相异,使得终端设备用于监测信道#A的硬件与监测信道#B的硬件相异,终端设备监测信道#A时需要新的硬件,增加了终端设备的成本以及复杂度。
本申请实施例提供的方案,通过使得承载第一指示信息的信道的传输方式与承载DCI的信道的传输方式相同,避免了第一终端设备需要增加新的硬件监测第一指示信息,有效地减少了终端设备的成本以及复杂度。
可选地,该第一指示信息包括第五指示信息,该第五指示信息指示该第一终端设备监测DCI的时间单元;或者,
在该网络设备向该第一终端设备发送该第一指示信息之前,该方法还包括:
该网络设备向该第一终端设备发送第五指示信息,该第五指示信息指示该第一终端设备监测DCI的时间单元。
具体而言,该指示信息#1中可以包括指示信息#5(即,第五指示信息中的一例),该指示信息#1中也可以不包括指示信息#5,即,在该网络设备向该终端设备#1发送该指示信息#1之前发送指示信息#5,进而,终端设备#1监测DCI时,可以根据该指示信息#5(即,第五指示信息中的一例)进行监测DCI。
例如,该指示信息#5中所指示的时间单元是五个时隙,那么,表示终端设备#1在需要监测DCI时,每五个时隙进行DCI的监测,直到按照预定义的规则停止DCI监测。
因而,通过向第一终端设备发送用于监测DCI的时间单元的第五指示信息,可以使得第一终端设备监测DCI的时间单元与第一终端设备的业务需求相一致,即,当该第一终端设备的业务需求较少时,监测DCI的时间单元较长,可以降低第一终端设备的功耗,当该第一终端设备的业务需求较多时,监测DCI的时间单元较短,可以满足第一终端设备的业务的时延要求,进而,提高系统灵活性。
可选地,该第一指示信息包括第六指示信息,该第六指示信息指示该第一终端设备的DRX配置参数。
具体地,该DRX配置参数可以包括DRX周期长度、DRX中工作时段的长度。该网络设备可以通过终端设备#1的业务需求等确定终端设备#1的DRX参数,进而将该DRX参数通过该指示信息#6(即,第六指示信息中一例)发送给终端设备#1,这样,可以使得该终端设备#1的DRX参数与该终端设备#1的业务需求一致,从而满足终端设备#1的业务时延要求和终端功耗节省的要求,提高系统灵活性。即,在该终端设备#1业务较少的时候,设置较长的DRX周期,从而降低该终端设备#1的功耗;在该终端设备#1业务时延要求高的时候,设置较短的DRX周期,满足该终端设备#1业务的时延要求。
例如,在传输指示信息#1之前,终端设备#1的DRX为240毫秒,工作时段为240毫秒中的前4毫秒。如果网络设备预测终端设备#1在接下来没有紧急的业务,则可以在指 示信息#6中指示终端的DRX为360毫秒,工作时段为360毫秒中的前2毫秒。这样动态的改变DRX周期,更省功耗。如果网络设备预测终端设备#1接下来会有时延要求低的业务,则可以在指示信息#6中指示终端设备的DRX为120毫秒,工作时段为120毫秒中的前8毫秒,这样可以满足业务时延要求,在低功耗和时延要求中取得较好的平衡。
这种方式可以改变一组终端设备的DRX配置参数,除了低功耗和时延低的好处外,还进一步采用组信令可以节省每个终端专用信令所带来的信令冗余。
需要说明的是,在网络设备向第一终端设备组内的终端设备通过发送指示信息#2来指示组内终端设备是否停止监测DCI信令时,对于网络设备而言,这个组信息是每个第二DRX周期都要发送,但对于终端设备而言,则只要按照终端设备自己的第一DRX周期所确定的时段#1去接收即可。
例如,终端设备组#1包含3个终端设备,终端设备#1配置的DRX周期为120毫秒,该终端设备#2配置的DRX周期为240毫秒,该终端设备#3配置的DRX周期为360毫秒,则网络设备发送指示信息#2的DRX周期,即第二DRX周期为120ms。终端设备#1的工作时段#1对应的时长为每120毫秒中的前3毫秒,终端设备#2的工作时段#2对应的时长为每240毫秒的前4毫秒,终端设备#3的工作时段#3对应的时长是每360毫秒中的第2-5毫秒,则终端设备组的DRX周期为120毫秒,终端设备#1的DRX周期为120毫秒,终端设备#2与终端设备#3均与终端设备#1的工作时段具有重合时段,取每120毫秒的第2毫秒作为时段#1,则对于网络设备而言,在每120毫秒的第二毫秒发送指示信息#2,对于终端设备#1来说,在每120毫秒的第二毫秒接收指示信息#2,对于终端设备#2来说,在每240毫秒的第二毫秒接收指示信息#2,对于终端设备#3来说,在每360毫秒的第二毫秒接收指示信息#2
因而,本申请实施例的提供的传输信息的方法,一方面,通过在第一终端设备中的工作时段内的部分时段(即,第一时段)上发送第一指示信息,该第一指示信息指示第一终端设备在该第一时段之后的时段是否停止监测DCI,对于需要唤醒的第一终端设备来说,本申请实施例中,第一终端设备由于不需要在工作时段之前醒来接收唤醒信号,仅仅在本来就需要醒来的工作时段接收第一指示信息,可以有效地减少第一终端设备的功耗,尤其针对于网络设备需要频繁唤醒第一终端设备的情况,更是有效地节省了第一终端设备的功耗;
另一方面,在多个终端设备的重合时段的第一个时间单元上的至少部分时段发送第一指示信息,能够使得第一终端设备在重合时段的开始就能够确定自己是否需要在第一时段之后的时段停止监测DCI,可以有效地减少功耗,尤其对于多个终端设备的起始时刻相同的情况,更能够有效地减少第一终端设备的功耗;
另一方面,相比于网络设备需要多次向多个终端设备发送指示信息,网络设备向第一终端设备组内的终端设备发送一个组信息(第二指示信息),避免网络设备频繁发送信息而造成的信令冗余;
另一一方面,通过使得承载第一指示信息的信道的传输方式与承载DCI的信道的传输方式相同,避免了第一终端设备需要增加新的硬件监测第一指示信息,有效地减少了终端设备的成本以及复杂度;
另一方面,通过向第一终端设备发送用于监测DCI的时间单元的第五指示信息,可以 使得第一终端设备监测DCI的时间单元与第一终端设备的业务需求相一致,即,当该第一终端设备的业务需求较少时,监测DCI的时间单元较长,可以降低第一终端设备的功耗,当该第一终端设备的业务需求较多时,监测DCI的时间单元较短,可以满足第一终端设备的业务的时延要求,进而,提高系统灵活性。
再一方面,通过向第一终端设备发送用于指示第一终端设备的DRX配置的第六指示信息,可以使得第一终端设备的DRX参数与第一终端设备的业务需求一致,即,当该第一终端设备的业务需求较少时,设置较长的DRX周期,可以降低第一终端设备的功耗,当该第一终端设备的业务需求较多时,设置较短的DRX周期,可以满足第一终端设备的业务的时延要求,进而,提高系统灵活性。
