Description

传输信号的方法、网络设备和终端设备 技术领域
本申请涉及通信领域,并且更具体地,涉及一种传输信号的方法、网络设备和终端设备。
背景技术
在无线通信系统中,终端设备通常有两种状态,分别是连接态和空闲态(或睡眠态)。当处于空闲态时,终端设备无法与网络设备直接进行通信。为了网络设备能够有效地找到空闲态的终端设备,网络设备一般会通过寻呼的方式,即定期地向终端设备发送寻呼调度信息,以指示终端设备是否应该从空闲态切换至连接态,以便与网络设备进行通信。终端设备在收到寻呼调度信息后可以醒来进入连接态,以便发送或接收业务数据。
处于空闲态的终端设备会定期醒来监听寻呼调度信息,定期醒来的周期称作非连续接收(Discontinuous Reception,DRX)周期。其中,终端设备醒来的时刻称为寻呼机会(Paging Occasion,PO),一个DRX周期存在至少一个PO。空闲态的终端设备在DRX周期内的绝大部分时间是保持空闲态的,而只在对应的PO时刻醒来监听寻呼调度信息,终端在一个DRX周期内只需要在一个PO处醒来监听寻呼调度信息。
而在物联网(Interent of Things,IoT)系统中,有很多终端设备的业务是主动上报的类型,即以上行为主,被寻呼概率较低;并且,系统消息(有用的系统消息,系统帧号等常规的除外)变更频率低。故可能大部分PO可能是空的,即在大部分的DRX周期内网络设备在PO处不发送相应的寻呼调度信息,但是终端设备依然需要在每个DRX周期内的PO处醒来监听寻呼调度信息,这其实是一种功耗的浪费。比如,若某一PO处并不存在某一终端设备的寻呼调度信息,终端设备仍然需要监听下行控制信道,从而浪费较大的功耗。并且在一些物联网系统中,终端设备普遍有着低功耗的需求,需要尽可能降低终端设备的功耗,以提升终端电池的使用寿命。一般来讲,可以简单地认为,终端设备的功耗与其工作(发送或接受信号)时间成正比。
另外,通信系统中,在一个DRX周期内,多个终端设备共享一个PO时刻,即多个终端在同一PO时刻监听寻呼调度信息,特别是短DRX场景,因为DRX较短时,DRX内的PO个数一般不会太多,导致监听同一个PO的终端设备的个数比较多。在多个终端设备共享一个PO时刻时,即使在一个PO时刻处存在寻呼调度信息时,该寻呼调度信息可能只是针对共享该PO时刻的所有终端设备中的少数甚至一个终端设备,但是,对于其它终端设备来说,仍然需要接收该寻呼调度信息,并只有在对寻呼消息进行解析后(寻呼消息由寻呼调度信息调度),才能确定自身并没有被寻呼。但这样会导致终端设备的功耗增加,使得终端设备的电池寿命变短。因此,亟需提出一种新的方法解决功耗浪费的问题。

S210,网络设备生成第一信号,所述第一信号用于指示终端设备在第一寻呼机会存在或不存在寻呼调度信息;
可选地,所述第一信号可以为一段预设序列,序列可以是常见的伪随机序列、Gold序列、哈德码序列或Zadoff-Chu序列等。或者,所述第一信号也可以是上述序列经过变形得到的序列。比如,所述第一信号是多个序列的乘积序列,或者,所述第一信号也可以是序列经循环移位扩展或打孔后的序列,或者,所述第一信号是经过以上至少两项操作或其他变形操作后得到的序列,对此不作限定。

可选地,所述第一信号可以用于指示一个或多个终端设备在第一寻呼机会的寻呼情况。
可选地,所述第一信号可以用于指示终端设备在一个寻呼机会或多个寻呼机会处的寻呼情况,对此不作限定。
可选地,所述第一信号的传输时长可以是协议预先约定好的,即网络设备和终端设备均可获知。或者,所述第一信号的传输时长也可以是网络设备指示的。比如,网络设备可以通过系统消息或其他高层信令向终端设备指示所述第一信号的传输时长。或者,所述第一信号的传输时长也可以是根据协议约定的规则和网络设备的指示共同确定的。
可选地,网络设备可以生成第一信号簇,所述第一信号簇是包括至少一个所述第一 信号。
可选地,所述第一信号簇中的至少一个信号是连续时分或者分布式时分传输的。换言之,所述第一信号簇中的至少一个信号之间存在时序关系,可以是连续时分,或者分布式时分的,本申请实施例对此不作限定。其中,“连续时分”是指:多个第一信号在时序上是连续存在的,此时多个第一信号占据多个连续的第一资源。“分布式时分”是指:至少一个第一信号在时序上分布式存在的,此时至少一个第一信号占据的多个第一资源也是分布式的。比如,第一信号簇可以分为第一部分和第二部分,所述第一部分或所述第二部分均可以包含至少一个第一信号。所述第一信号簇的第一部分和第二部分是间断存在的,并非连续存在。可选地,第一信号簇的第一部分和第二部分之间可以存在或不存在寻呼机会,对此不作限定。
可选地,所述第一信号簇中第一信号所占据的资源可以是时分的,不同的第一信号占据不同的时域资源,即在时域上的不同位置发送不同的第一信号;或者,比如,所述第一信号所占据的资源可以是频分的,不同的第一信号占据不同的频域资源,即在不同的频域上发送不同的第一信号;或者,又比如,所述第一信号所占据的资源可以是码分的,不同的第一信号通过不同的编码方式进行区分;或者,再比如,所述第一信号所占据的资源可以是空分的,不同的第一信号通过不同的天线口发送区分。
可选地,所述第一寻呼机会可以理解为某一寻呼机会(Paging Occasion,PO),或者未来可能出现的比PO更细粒度的概念或术语,本申请实施例对此不作限定。一般来讲,处于空闲态的终端设备会在对应的PO处醒来监听下行控制信道,比如物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel,PDCCH)或未来可能出现的其他信道术语。
S220,网络设备根据寻呼配置参数、第一参数集合、终端设备标识、终端识别码中的至少一项确定第一资源;
应理解,在本申请的各种实施例中,上述各过程的序号的大小并不意味着执行顺序的先后,各过程的执行顺序应以其功能和内在逻辑确定,而不应对本申请实施例的实施过程构成任何限定。
也就是说,在本申请实施例中,以上S210和S220的操作顺序不做限定。网络设备可以是先根据寻呼配置参数、第一参数集合、终端设备标识、终端识别码中的至少一项确定第一资源,然后再生成第一信号;或者,网络设备也可以是先生成第一信号,然后再根据寻呼配置参数、第一参数集合、终端设备标识、终端识别码中的至少一项确定第一资源。
S230,网络设备在所述第一资源向所述终端设备发送所述第一信号。
具体而言,网络设备可以生成第一信号,所述第一信号用于指示终端设备在第一寻呼机会存在或不存在寻呼调度信息,并根据寻呼配置参数、第一参数集合、终端设备标识、终端识别码中的至少一项确定第一资源,网络设备在第一资源向终端设备发送所述第一信号。对应地,终端设备根据所述第一信号决定是否需要监听下行控制信道,比如,若第一信号指示所述终端设备在所述第一寻呼机会处不存在寻呼调度信息,则终端设备保持空闲态,即终端设备在所述第一寻呼机会处不监听下行控制信道;比如,若第一信号指示所述终端设备在所述第一寻呼机会中存在寻呼调度信息,则终端设备在所述第一寻呼机会处监听下行控制信道。而在现有技术中,终端设备在每个非连续接收(Discontinuous Reception,DRX)周期内对应的PO处会一直盲检PDCCH搜索空间以 接收寻呼调度信息,比较浪费功耗。若采用本申请实施例的方法,终端设备可以避免对下行控制信道的一些不必要的监听,从而节省了终端设备的功耗。
另外,在NB-IoT中,在一个DRX周期内,共享同一个PO的终端设备的个数较多。比如,在一个DRX周期内存在至少一个PO,一个DRX周期内有4096个终端设备标识(User Equipment Identity,UEID),则多个UEID对应的终端设备共享一个PO。当该一个PO处存在寻呼调度信息时,可能只是针对其对应的部分终端设备,其他终端设备其实不需要监听下行控制信道。此时,相比于现有技术中“共享同一个PO的所有终端设备均需要监听下行控制信道”的方式,本申请实施例的技术方案的作用尤为凸显,可以大量节省终端设备的功耗。
在本申请实施例中,网络设备根据寻呼配置参数、第一参数集合、终端设备标识、终端识别码中的至少一项确定第一资源。在现有技术中,网络设备是通过现有的系统消息和/或其他高层信令可配置寻呼配置参数,利用寻呼配置参数确定第一寻呼机会。在本申请实施例中,网络设备可直接使用现有技术中的配置寻呼配置参数的系统消息和/或其他高层信令,从而可以节约系统消息和/或其他高层信令等信令资源。进一步地,本申请实施例的网络设备可以通过现有技术中的寻呼配置参数确定第一寻呼机会,然后根据所述第一寻呼机会PO、终端设备标识、终端识别码中至少一项的基础上确定第一资源,从而减少额外开销。
在本申请实施例中,网络设备通过在第一资源向终端设备发送第一信号,所述第一信号用于指示终端设备在第一寻呼机会存在或不存在寻呼调度信息,使得终端设备根据所述第一信号决定是否监听下行控制信道,节省了终端设备的功耗。
可选地,所述寻呼配置参数可以包括寻呼帧号、寻呼周期、寻呼密度、寻呼帧的个数、寻呼帧中寻呼机会的个数等其他可能的参数。
具体而言,网络设备或终端设备可以根据所述寻呼配置参数计算出寻呼系统帧(Paging Frame,PF)和PO的位置,其中,PF表示寻呼调度信息所在的系统帧,PO表示寻呼调度信息所在的子帧。一个PF可以包括至少一个PO。比如,网络设备或终端设备在获取所述寻呼配置参数后,可以根据下式(1)计算PF,根据下式(2)计算PO的位置:
SFN mod T=(T div N)*(UEID mod N)         (1)
其中,满足上述公式(1)中的系统帧号(System Frame Number,SFN)可作为一个PF帧;T表示寻呼周期,寻呼周期为寻呼的DRX周期,其取值为正整数,其取值范围可以是{32,64,128,256}等系统帧;mod表示取模运算;nB表示寻呼密度,即一个寻呼周期内寻呼机会的数量,其取值为正整数,其取值范围可以是{4T,2T,T,T/2,T/4,T/8,T/16,T/32};N表示寻呼帧个数,取值为min(T,nB),取T和nB之间的小值,其取值为正整数,取值范围是{T,T/2,T/4,T/8,T/16,T/32};UEID取值为(IMSI mod C),C的取值可以为1024或4096,或其他可能的取值,这里不做限定。其中,一个终端设备标识UEID可能对应多个终端标识码(International Mobile Subscriber Identity,IMSI),即UEID是由多个IMSI构成的组。其中,每个终端设备的终端标识码IMSI是唯一的。
i_s=floor(UEID/N)mod Ns        (2)
其中,上述公式(2)中的i_s表示PO的索引,计算出i_s后,可通过查表方式得到 PO所在子帧;floor表示向下取整运算;Ns=max(1,nB/T),表示寻呼帧中寻呼机会的个数,即每个PF中有多少个PO,其取值为正整数。其中,一个PO可能会对应多个终端设备标识UEID。也可以说,多个UEID确定的PO可能为同一个PO。
综上,通过上式(1)和上式(2),网络设备或终端设备可以计算出PF和PO的位置。
在本申请实施例中,网络设备可以生成一个或多个第一信号,比如生成第一信号簇,所述第一信号簇包括至少一个所述第一信号。
可选地,所述第一信号簇具有周期性。所述网络设备可以在每个周期发送所述第一信号簇。另外,每个周期至少存在一个PO。换言之,一个第一信号簇对应至少一个PO。
可选地,所述第一参数集合包括第一信号簇的周期指示参数、所述第一信号簇的起始传输位置指示参数、个数指示参数、所述第一信号簇的频域资源位置指示参数中的至少一项,其中,所述第一信号簇包括至少一个信号,所述第一信号是第一信号簇中的信号。
具体而言,所述第一信号簇的周期指示参数用于指示所述第一信号簇的周期,所述周期指示参数包括周期直接指示参数和/或周期间接指示参数。所述周期直接指示参数指示所述第一信号簇的周期取值的索引号。第一信号簇的周期指示参数可以直接指示周期的取值。这样,网络设备或终端设备可以根据第一信号簇的周期取值的索引号,确定第一信号簇的周期取值,从而确定出每隔多少个无线帧发送一个第一信号簇,同时也可以确定出一个寻呼周期内有多少个第一信号簇。
或者,所述周期间接指示参数指示一个寻呼周期内第一信号簇的个数。这样,网络设备或终端设备可以根据寻呼周期和第一信号簇的个数,通过寻呼周期除以第一信号簇的个数的计算方法,可以得到每两个第一信号簇之间间隔的无线帧的个数,从而得到第一信号簇的周期。
或者,所述周期间接指示参数指示一个寻呼周期内第一信号簇的个数与寻呼机会的个数的比例,其中,每个寻呼周期内寻呼机会的个数可以通过现有技术方法计算得到。这样,网络设备或终端设备可以根据第一信号簇的个数与寻呼机会的个数的比例,确定出第一信号簇的个数,通过寻呼周期除以第一信号簇的个数的计算方法,进一步得到每两个第一信号簇之间间隔的无线帧的个数,从而确定出第一信号簇的周期。
具体而言,所述第一信号簇的起始传输位置指示参数用于指示所述第一信号簇在时域上的起始传输位置,所述起始传输位置指示参数指示第一信号簇的起始传输位置与第二寻呼机会的相对位置,所述第二寻呼机会为所述第一信号簇对应的至少一个寻呼机会中的第一个寻呼机会(或“首个寻呼机会”)。其中,所述第二寻呼机会可以与所述第一寻呼机会相同或不同。
比如,在确定第一信号簇的周期后,网络设备或终端设备可以确定在第几个无线帧上发送第一信号簇,可以确定第一信号簇对应的至少一个寻呼机会,此时,第一信号簇对应的至少一个寻呼机会中的第一个寻呼机会可以确定,即从所述第几个无线帧开始出现的第一个寻呼机会可以确定。网络设备或终端设备可以根据第一信号簇的起始传输位置与第二寻呼机会的相对位置,从第一信号簇对应的第一个寻呼机会起向前推算相对位置,并将求得的位置作为第一信号簇的起始传输位置。或者,可以直接约定第一信号簇的起始传输位置为固定位置。比如,在确定第一信号簇的周期后,网络设备或终端设备 可以确定在哪个无线帧上发送第一信号簇,此时根据协议约定一个固定的子帧位置,作为发送第一信号簇的起始传输位置。
具体而言,所述个数指示参数用于指示寻呼周期内第一信号的个数、寻呼周期内第一信号簇的个数、第一信号簇中第一信号的个数中的至少一项,可选地,所述个数参数指示寻呼周期内第一信号的个数的索引号、寻呼周期内第一信号簇的个数的索引号、第一信号簇中第一信号的个数的索引号、寻呼周期内寻呼机会的个数与第一信号的个数的比例、寻呼周期内寻呼机会的个数与第一信号簇的个数的比例、第一信号簇的周期内寻呼机会与第一信号的个数的比例中的至少一项。
具体而言,所述第一信号的频域资源位置指示参数用于指示第一信号的频域资源位置,所述频域资源位置指示参数包括频域资源位置直接指示参数和/或频域资源位置间接指示参数。所述频域资源位置直接指示参数指示频域资源位置的索引号,可选地,所述频域资源位置直接指示参数可以是协议预先约定好的,即网络设备和终端设备均可获知。这样,网络设备或终端设备可以根据第一信号簇的频域资源位置直接指示参数指示的索引号确定第一信号簇的频域资源位置。所述频域资源位置间接指示参数指示第一信号的频域资源位置与第一寻呼机会的频域资源位置的相对位置,网络设备或终端设备可以根据第一信号的频域资源位置与第一寻呼机会的频域资源位置的相对位置,从第一个寻呼机会的频域资源位置起推算相对位置,并将求得的位置作为第一信号的频域资源位置。或者,所述频域资源位置间接指示参数也可以是根据协议约定的规则和网络设备的指示共同确定的。
可选地,网络设备可以将上述寻呼配置参数中的至少一项和/或第一参数集合中的至少一项发送给终端设备。进一步地,网络设备可以通过高层信令将所述寻呼配置参数中的至少一项和/或第一参数集合中的至少一项发送给终端设备,所述高层信令可以是系统消息或其他高层信令。比如,所述高层信令可以是无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)信令;所述系统消息可以是系统信息块(System Information Block,SIB)或者主信息块(Master Information Block,MIB)。
在本申请实施例中,发送第一信号的第一资源可以由寻呼配置参数、第一参数集合、终端设备标识、终端识别码中的至少一项确定的,下面将举例对一些可能的组合进行描述。
举例来说,可选地,所述第一资源是根据所述寻呼配置参数和所述第一参数集合确定的。也就是说,网络设备或终端设备可以根据所述寻呼配置参数和所述第一参数集合确定出所述第一资源。
可选地,在一个寻呼周期内,第一信号的个数可以与PO的个数相同或不同。
比如,在一个寻呼周期内,第一信号的个数可以小于PO的个数,一个第一信号对应着多个PO。此时,网络设备或终端设备可以根据寻呼配置参数、第一参数集合确定发送第一信号的第一资源。网络设备或终端设备可以通过寻呼配置参数确定出PO,并通过第一信号簇的周期指示参数、第一信号簇的起始传输位置指示参数确定出所述PO之前的第一个第一信号簇的位置。网络设备或终端设备可以通过第一计算法则,确定出所述PO之前的第一个第一信号簇中的第一信号的相对编号,从而确定出所述第一资源。
下面对所述第一计算法则进行描述。具体地,第一资源与第一信号在第一信号簇中的相对编号存在对应关系,第一信号簇包括至少一个第一信号,每个第一信号对应着一 个第一资源。比如,当第一信号的相对编号为“0”时,第一资源为第一信号簇对应的所有第一资源中的第一个第一资源。
可选地,第一信号的相对编号可以通过寻呼配置参数、个数指示参数中至少一项的函数确定。可选地,所述寻呼配置参数包括PFSFN、T、nB、N、Ns,所述个数指示参数包括Nwus、n等。网络设备或终端设备通过寻呼配置参数中的T、N和nB可以确定出PFSFN,进一步地,通过PFSFN、T、nB、Nwus、n中至少一项的函数确定出第一信号的相对编号。其中,PFSFN表示所述PO对应的系统帧号、又称寻呼帧号,T表示所述终端设备的寻呼周期,nB表示寻呼密度,Nwus表示所述第一信号簇中第一信号的个数,n表示在第一信号簇的周期内PO的个数是所述第一信号簇中第一信号的个数的n倍。这样,网络设备或终端设备通过求得PFSFN、T、nB、Nwus、n的函数即可以确定出第一信号的相对编号,从而得到该相对编号对应的第一资源。
下面将结合附图3进行具体描述。应理解,引入图3中的例子只是便于本领域的技术人员理解本申请实施例的方案,并不对本申请实施例构成限定。
图3示出了根据本申请实施例的一个例子的示意图。其中,一个寻呼周期内可以包括多个第一信号簇,所述第一信号簇具有周期性。如图3中上方所示,在一个寻呼周期内,多个第一信号簇中的每个第一信号簇中包括一个第一信号,两个PO对应一个第一信号,从而两个PO对应一个第一资源。网络设备或终端设备可以根据第一信号簇的周期指示参数和起始传输位置指示参数,直接或间接地得到第一资源位于哪个无线帧上的哪个子帧。在图3的下方,可选地,一个第一信号簇的周期中可以包括四个PO。如图3中下方所示,在一个寻呼周期内,多个第一信号簇中的每个第一信号簇包括两个第一信号,两个PO可以对应一个第一信号。
可选地,第一信号簇中的每个第一信号可以存在对应的编号或索引。其中,第一资源可以与第一信号在所述第一信号簇中的编号是对应的。网络设备或终端设备在获得第一信号的编号或索引后,即可以获知对应的资源位置。
比如,在图3下方,四个PO中的前两个PO可以对应两个资源中的第一个第一资源(即用于发送所述两个第一信号中第一个信号的资源),后两个PO可以对应两个资源位置中的第二个第一资源(即用于发送所述两个第一信号中第二个信号的资源)。
例如,第一信号在所述第一信号簇中的编号与PO可以满足下式(3):

其中,Windex表示所述第一信号在所述第一信号簇中的编号,

Figure PCTCN2017087082-appb-000031
表示PO在第一信号簇对应的至少一个PO中的编号。这样,网络设备或终端设备可以根据上式确定出第一信号的编号,从而获得第一资源。
对于上式(3)举个具体的例子,假设T=128,nB=T,N=128,Ns=1,对于某一终端设备,(PF modT)=114,T/nB=1,其中,

表示终端设备对应四个PO中的第三个,进一步地,Windex=1表示该终端设备对应的第一信号簇中的第二个第一信号,相应地,对应两个第一资源中的第二个第一资源。
或者,又比如,在图3下方,四个PO中的第一个PO和第三个PO可以对应两个资源位置中的第一个第一资源(即用于发送所述两个第一信号中第一个信号的资源),第二个PO和第四个PO可以对应两个资源位置中的第二个第一资源(即用于发送所述两个第一信号中第二个信号的资源)。
例如,第一信号在所述第一信号簇中的编号与PO可以满足下式(4):
Figure PCTCN2017087082-appb-000034
应理解,上式(4)中出现的各个参数的含义与上式(3)中的类似,为了简洁,这里不作赘述。
对于上式(4)举个具体例子,假设T=128,nB=T,N=128,Ns=1,对于某一终端设备,(PFSFNmodT)=114,T/nB=1,其中,

表示终端设备对应四个PO中的第三个,进一步地,Windex=0表示该终端设备对应的第一信号簇中的第一个第一信号,相应地,对应两个第一资源中的第一个第一资源。
综上所述,网络设备或终端设备可以结合式(3)或式(4),根据PO计算第一信号在第一信号簇中的相对编号或索引,从而确定出第一信号对应的第一资源。
举例来说,可选地,所述第一资源是根据所述寻呼配置参数、所述第一参数集合和所述终端设备标识确定的。也就是说,网络设备或终端设备可以根据终端设备标识UEID确定发送第一信号的第一资源。
比如,在一个寻呼周期内,第一信号的个数可以大于PO的个数,一个PO对应着多个第一信号。此时,网络设备或终端设备可以根据寻呼配置参数、第一参数集合、终端设备标识UEID确定发送第一信号的第一资源。网络设备或终端设备可以通过寻呼配置参数确定出PO,并通过第一信号簇的周期指示参数、第一信号簇的起始传输位置指示参数确定出所述PO之前的第一个第一信号簇的位置。可选地,网络设备或终端设备可以通过第二计算法则,确定出所述PO对应所述之前的第一个第一信号簇中的第一信号的相对编号,从而确定出所述第一资源。
下面对所述第二计算法则进行描述。具体地,第一资源与第一信号在第一信号簇中的相对编号存在对应关系,第一信号簇包括至少一个第一信号,每个第一信号对应着一个第一资源。比如,当第一信号的相对编号为“0”时,第一资源为第一信号簇对应的所有第一资源中的第一个第一资源。
可选地,第一信号的相对编号可以通过寻呼配置参数、个数指示参数、终端设备标识中至少一项的函数确定。可选地,所述寻呼配置参数包括PFSFN、T、nB、N、Ns,所述个数指示参数包括Nwus、n等,通过寻呼配置参数中的T、N和nB可以确定PFSFN,进一步通过PFSFN、T、nB、Nwus、n、UEID中至少一项的函数确定相对编号。其中,PFSFN 表示所述PO对应的系统帧号、又称寻呼帧号,T表示所述终端设备的寻呼周期,nB表示寻呼密度,Nwus表示所述第一信号簇中第一信号的个数,n表示在第一信号簇的周期内PO的个数是所述第一信号簇中第一信号的个数的n倍,UEID表示所述终端设备标识。这样,网络设备或终端设备通过求得PFSFN、T、nB、Nwus、n、UEID的函数即可以确定出第一信号的相对编号,从而得到该相对编号对应的第一资源。
下面将结合附图4进行具体描述。应理解,引入图4中的例子只是便于本领域的技术人员理解本申请实施例的方案,并不对本申请实施例构成限定。
图4示出了根据本申请实施例的一个例子的示意图。其中,一个寻呼周期内可以包括多个第一信号簇,所述第一信号簇具有周期性。在图4的上方,可选地,一个第一信号簇的周期中可以包括一个PO,一个PO对应多个UEID,每个UEID对应一个第一资源。如图4中上方所示,在一个寻呼周期内,多个第一信号簇中的每个第一信号簇中包括两个第一信号,一个PO对应两个第一信号,从而一个PO对应两个第一资源。网络设备或终端设备可以根据UEID确定第一资源。在图4的下方,可选地,一个第一信号簇的周期中可以包括两个PO。此时,一个PO可以对应多个第一资源,一个PO对应多个UEID,每个UEID对应一个第一资源。如图4中下方所示,在一个寻呼周期内,多个第一信号簇中的每个第一信号簇包括四个第一信号,两个PO中的一个PO对应多个第一信号。

对于上式(5)举个具体例子,假设T=128,nB=T,N=128,Ns=1,对于某一终端设备,(PFSFNmodT)=114,T/nB=1,其中,
Figure PCTCN2017087082-appb-000042
表示在一个寻呼周期内,该终端设备对应的PO位于第114个PF上的0号子帧。假设Nwus=4,Windex={0,1,2,3},n=2,则一个第一信号簇对应两个PO。其中,

表示终端设备对应两个PO中的第一个,进一步地,Windex=1表示该终端设备对应的第一信号簇中的第二个第一信号,相应地,对应四个第一资源中的第二个第一资源。
综上所述,网络设备或终端设备可以结合上式(5),根据UEID计算第一信号在第一信号簇中的编号或索引,从而确定出第一信号对应的第一资源。
举例来说,可选地,所述第一资源是根据所述寻呼配置参数、所述第一参数集合和 所述终端识别码确定的。也就是说,网络设备或终端设备可以根据所述寻呼配置参数和所述第一参数集合和所述终端识别码IMSI确定出所述第一资源。
比如,在一个寻呼周期内,第一信号的个数可以大于PO的个数,一个PO对应着多个第一信号。此时,网络设备或终端设备可以根据寻呼配置参数、第一参数集合、终端识别码IMSI确定发送第一信号的第一资源。网络设备或终端设备可以通过寻呼配置参数可以确定PO,并通过第一信号簇的周期指示参数、第一信号簇的起始传输位置指示参数确定出所述PO之前的第一个第一信号簇的位置。可选地,网络设备或终端设备可以通过第三计算法则,确定出所述PO对应所述之前的第一个第一信号簇中的第一信号的相对编号,从而确定出所述第一资源。
下面对所述第三计算法则进行描述。具体地,第一资源与第一信号在第一信号簇中的相对编号存在对应关系,第一信号簇包括至少一个第一信号,每个第一信号对应着一个第一资源。比如,当第一信号的相对编号为“0”时,第一资源为第一信号簇对应的所有第一资源中的第一个第一资源。
可选地,第一信号的相对编号可以通过寻呼配置参数、个数指示参数、终端识别码中至少一项的函数确定。可选地,所述寻呼配置参数包括PFSFN、T、nB、N、Ns,所述个数指示参数包括Nwus、n等,通过寻呼配置参数中的T、N和nB可以确定PFSFN,进一步地,通过PFSFN、T、nB、Nwus、n、IMSI中至少一项的函数确定出第一信号的相对编号。其中,PFSFN表示所述PO对应的系统帧号、又称寻呼帧号,T表示所述终端设备的寻呼周期,nB表示寻呼密度,Nwus表示所述第一信号簇中第一信号的个数,n表示在第一信号簇的周期内PO的个数是所述第一信号簇中第一信号的个数的n倍,IMSI表示所述终端识别码。这样,网络设备或终端设备通过求得PFSFN、T、nB、Nwus、n、IMSI的函数即可以确定出第一信号的相对编号,从而得到该相对编号对应的第一资源。比如,对于图4示出的情况,所述第一信号在所述第一信号簇中的编号与终端设备标识IMSI可以满足下式(6):

其中,
Figure PCTCN2017087082-appb-000047
表示所述第一寻呼机会在至少一个寻呼机会中的编号,
Figure PCTCN2017087082-appb-000048
表示UEID对应的第一信号在一个第一寻呼机会对应的n个第一信号中的编号,PFSFN表示所述第一寻呼机会对应的系统帧号,T表示所述终端设备的寻呼周期,nB表示寻呼密度,Nwus表示所述第一信号簇中信号的个数,n表示在第一信号簇的周期内第一寻呼机会的个数是所述第一信号簇中信号的个数的n倍,IMSI表示所述终端设备对应的终端识别码,Windex表示所述第一信号在所述第一信号簇中的编号。其中,M的取值为正整数,其取值范围可以足够大,当M取值足够大的时候,IMSI mod M近似等于IMSI;C的取值为正整数,优选为2的整数倍,取值可以为1024或4096,或其他可能的取值,对此不作限定。
综上所述,网络设备或终端设备可以结合式(6),根据IMSI计算第一信号在第一信号簇中的编号或索引,从而确定出第一信号对应的第一资源。
可选地,所述第一资源的时域起始位置在所述第一寻呼机会的时域位置之前;或者,所述第一资源的时域起始位置与所述第一寻呼机会的时域位置相同。这里,在所述第一 资源的时域起始位置与所述第一寻呼机会对应的时域位置一致的情况下,如果存在有效的寻呼调度信息和/或存在系统消息变更,网络设备在所述第一寻呼机会处发送寻呼调度信息;如果不存在有效的寻呼调度信息和/或不存在系统消息变更,网络设备在所述第一寻呼机会处发送第一信号,比如,第一信号指示终端设备在第一寻呼机会处不存在寻呼调度信息。对应地,若终端设备由空闲态醒来后,在第一寻呼机会处监听下行控制信道前,可以先尝试检测第一信号,如果成功检测到第一信号,而第一信号指示终端设备在第一寻呼机会处不存在寻呼调度信息,那么终端设备可以继续休眠进入空闲态。或者,若第一信号指示在第一寻呼机会处存在寻呼调度信息,则终端设备可以继续监听搜索空间以接收寻呼调度信息。
可选地,所述第一资源的频域资源与所述第一寻呼机会对应的频域资源相同;或者,述第一资源对应的频域资源与所述第一寻呼机会对应的频域资源存在间隔。
也就是说,发送所述第一信号的第一资源所占据的时域资源位置,可以在所述第一寻呼机会的时域资源位置之前,或者,也可以与所述第一寻呼机会的时域资源位置相同,本申请实施例对此不作限定。另外,发送所述第一信号的第一资源所占据的频域资源位置,可以与所述第一寻呼机会对应的频域资源位置存在间隔,或者,也可以与所述第一寻呼机会对应的频域资源位置相同,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
可选地,所述方法200还包括:
