Description

非连续接收的方法、终端设备和网络设备 技术领域
本申请实施例涉及无线通信领域,并且更具体地,涉及一种非连续接收的方法、终端设备和网络设备。
背景技术
出于终端设备节电的考虑,引入了非连续传输(Discontinuous Reception,DRX)机制。每个DRX周期(DRX Cycle)中包括激活期(on duration)和休眠期(Opportunity for DRX),当处于激活期时终端设备检测控制信道,而处于休眠期时终端设备可以通过停止接收控制信道(此时终端设备会停止控制信道的盲检)来降低功耗,从而提升电池使用时间。
网络虽然给终端设备配置了DRX机制,使终端设备周期性地在激活期中检测控制信道,但是,终端设备在激活期中仅是机会性的得到调度,甚至终端设备在业务负荷很低的情况下,仅仅在少数的DRX周期内会被调度,对于采用DRX机制的寻呼消息而言,终端接收到寻呼消息的时机更少。因此,终端设备在配置了DRX机制后,可能在多数的激活期内并不能检测到控制信道但仍会被唤醒,这样就增加了不必要的功耗。因此,不同的终端设备如何获知自己在DRX周期中是否被调度以进一步降低功耗,成为急需解决的问题。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供了一种非连续接收的方法、终端设备和网络设备,能够使不同的终端设备同时获知自己在DRX周期中是否被调度,并在没有被调度时在该DRX周期中的激活期内休眠,从而进一步降低功耗。

具体实施方式
下面将结合附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行描述。
应理解,本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统,例如:全球移动通讯(Global System of Mobile Communication,GSM)系统、码分多址(Code Division Multiple Access,CDMA)系统、宽带码分多址(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access,WCDMA)系统、长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)系统、LTE频分双工(Frequency Division Duplex,FDD)系统、LTE时分双工(Time Division Duplex,TDD)、通用移动通信系统 (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System,UMTS)、以及未来的5G通信系统等。
本申请结合终端设备描述了各个实施例。终端设备也可以指用户设备(User Equipment,UE)、接入终端、用户单元、用户站、移动站、移动台、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、用户终端、终端、无线通信设备、用户代理或用户装置。接入终端可以是蜂窝电话、无绳电话、会话启动协议(Session Initiation Protocol,SIP)电话、无线本地环路(Wireless Local Loop,WLL)站、个人数字处理(Personal Digital Assistant,PDA)、具有无线通信功能的手持设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备,未来5G网络中的终端设备或者未来演进的陆上公用移动通信网(Public Land Mobile Network,PLMN)网络中的终端设备等。
本申请结合网络设备描述了各个实施例。网络设备可以是用于与终端设备进行通信的设备,例如,可以是GSM系统或CDMA中的基站(Base Transceiver Station,BTS),也可以是WCDMA系统中的基站(NodeB,NB),还可以是LTE系统中的演进型基站(Evolutional Node B,eNB或eNodeB),或者该网络设备可以为中继站、接入点、车载设备、可穿戴设备以及未来5G网络中的网络侧设备或未来演进的PLMN网络中的网络侧设备等。
图1是本申请实施例的一个应用场景的示意图。图1中的通信系统可以包括网络设备10和终端设备20。网络设备10用于为终端设备20提供通信服务并接入核心网,终端设备20可以通过搜索网络设备10发送的同步信号、广播信号等而接入网络,从而进行与网络的通信。图1中所示出的箭头可以表示通过终端设备20与网络设备10之间的蜂窝链路进行的上/下行传输。
本申请实施例中的网络可以是指公共陆地移动网络(Public Land Mobile Network,PLMN)或者设备对设备(Device to Device,D2D)网络或者机器对机器/人(Machine to Machine/Man,M2M)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终端设备,图1中未予以画出。
终端设备的DRX周期(DRX Cycle)中包括激活期(on duration)和休眠期(Opportunity for DRX),如图2所示,终端设备在激活期内即on duration 时间段内可以检测(或称侦听)物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel,PDCCH),而终端设备在休眠期内即Opportunity for DRX内可以通过停止接收PDCCH(此时终端设备会停止PDCCH的盲检)来降低功耗, 从而提升电池使用时间。可以说,在唤醒期内终端设备处于唤醒状态从而检测PDCCH,在休眠期内终端设备进入休眠状态从而不进行信道或信号的检测。
网络虽然给终端设备配置了DRX周期,使终端设备周期性地在激活期中检测PDCCH,但是,终端设备在激活期中仅是机会性的得到调度,甚至终端设备在业务负荷很低的情况下,仅仅在少数的DRX周期内会被调度,对于采用DRX机制的寻呼消息而言,终端接收到寻呼消息的时机更少。因此,终端设备在配置了DRX机制后,可能在大多数的DRX周期的激活期内都检测不到控制信道,但是在这些DRX的激活期内仍会被唤醒,这样就增加了终端设备的不必要的功耗。因此,不同的终端设备需要获知自己在DRX周期中的激活期内是否真正被调度,从而在没有被调度时保持休眠以进一步降低功耗。
图3是本申请实施例的非连续接收的方法的示意性流程图。图3所示的方法可以由终端设备执行,该终端设备为第一终端设备,该第一终端设备例如可以为图1中所示的终端设备20。如图3所示,该非连续接收的方法包括:
在310中,第一终端设备检测网络设备发送的下行控制信道,该下行控制信道携带至少一个终端设备的至少一个DRX信息。
其中,该至少一个终端设备中每个终端设备的DRX信息用于指示每个终端设备在每个终端设备的DRX信息之后的DRX周期中的激活期内唤醒或者休眠。
换句话说,该至少一个终端设备中每个终端设备的DRX信息用于指示每个终端设备在检测到每个终端设备的DRX信息的时刻之后的激活期内唤醒或休眠,该时刻之后的该激活期可以包括接收该DRX信息的DRX周期中的激活期,或接收该DRX信息的DRX周期的下一个DRX周期的激活期。
具体地,网络设备向至少一个终端设备发送下行控制信道,以同时向该至少一个终端设备指示各自的DRX信息。其中,每个终端设备的DRX信息用于指示每个终端设备在检测到其DRX信息的时刻之后的DRX周期中的激活期内唤醒或者休眠。或者说,每个终端设备的DRX信息表示每个终端设备在检测到其DRX信息的时刻之后的DRX周期中的激活期内是否被调度,如果被调度,则需要唤醒,如果没有被调度,则休眠以降低功耗。例如,第一终端设备在第i个DRX周期中检测到该下行控制信息并获取自己的DRX 信息,那么该DRX信息可以指示第一终端设备在第i+1个DRX周期中的激活期内唤醒或者休眠。
可选地,该下行控制信道携带至少一个比特值,该至少一个比特值与该至少一个DRX信息一一对应,该至少一个比特值中的每个比特值用于表示每个比特值对应的DRX信息。
例如表一所示,假设该下行控制信道包括N个比特值,分别用于表示N个终端设备的DRX信息,N个比特值与N个终端设备的N个DRX信息一一对应,若N个比特值中的某个比特值为0,则表示该比特值对应的DRX用于指示终端设备在之后的DRX周期的激活期内休眠,而不用检测PDCCH等;若N个比特值中的某个比特值为1,则表示该比特值对应的DRX用于指示终端设备在之后的DRX周期的激活期内唤醒,以进行PDCCH或寻呼消息等信息的检测。
表一
Figure PCTCN2017099154-appb-000001
当然,也可以用比特值0来表示唤醒,用比特值1来表示休眠。即,若N个比特值中的某个比特值为1,则表示该比特值对应的DRX用于指示终端设备在之后的DRX周期的激活期内休眠,而不用检测PDCCH等;若N个比特值中的某个比特值为0,则表示该比特值对应的DRX用于指示终端设备在之后的DRX周期的激活期内唤醒,以进行PDCCH或寻呼消息等信息的检测,表1仅仅作为一个示例。
可选地,在310之前,即,在第一终端设备检测网络设备发送的下行控制信道之前,该方法还包括:第一终端设备根据第一终端设备的设备标识,确定该下行控制信道所属的控制信道组;第一终端设备根据多个控制信道组与多个无线网络临时标识(Radio Network Temporary Identity,RNTI)之间的映射关系,确定与该控制信道组对应的目标RNTI;
这时,在310中,该第一终端设备检测网络设备发送的下行控制信道,包括:第一终端设备根据该目标RNTI,检测该下行控制信道。
例如,该第一终端设备根据该第一终端设备的设备标识(Identity,ID) 例如UE-ID,并基于UE-ID mod M计算该下行控制信道所在的控制信道组的编号,其中M为正整数且M为控制信道组的总数量。第一终端设备根据计算得到的控制信道组的编号,以及M个控制信道组与M个RNTI之间的映射系,确定用于检测该下行控制信道的RNTI,并根据该目标RNTI,检测该下行控制信道。
其中,可选地,多个控制信道组与多个RNTI之间的映射关系们可以由网络设备通过无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)信令通知终端设备,或者该映射关系可以是终端设备与网络设备预先约定并预存在终端设备中的。另外,多个控制信道组与多个RNTI之间的该映射关系可以通过图表、表格、公式等任何方式进行呈现。
可选地,在310之前,即,在第一终端设备检测网络设备发送的下行控制信道之前,该方法还包括:第一终端设备接收网络设备发送的第一配置信息,该第一配置信息指示用于检测该下行控制信道的目标RNTI;
这时,在310中,该第一终端设备检测网络设备发送的下行控制信道,包括:第一终端设备根据该目标RNTI,检测该下行控制信道。
其中,该第一配置信息例如可以是网络设备通过RRC信令或者介质访问控制(Medium Access Control,MAC)控制元素(Control Element,CE)发送给第一终端设备的,第一终端设备通过接收到的RRC信令或者MAC CE可以直接获知该目标RNTI。
可选地,在310之前,即,在第一终端设备检测网络设备发送的下行控制信道之前,该方法还包括:第一终端设备接收网络设备发送的第二配置信息,该第二配置信息用于指示该下行控制信道的信道格式;
这时,在310中,该第一终端设备检测网络设备发送的下行控制信道,包括:第一终端设备根据该下行控制信道的信道格式(Format),检测该下行控制信道。
其中,该第二配置信息例如可以是网络设备通过RRC信令或者MAC CE发送给第一终端设备的,第一终端设备通过接收到的RRC信令或者MAC CE可以获取用于检测该下行控制信道的信道格式。
例如,假设该下行控制信道上承载下行控制信息(Download Control Information,DCI),该DCI携带N个终端设备的N个DRX信息。如果N较大,即网络设备需要同时给较多的终端设备发送该下行控制信道,那么网 络设备可以使用第一DCI格式发送承载有该DCI的下行控制信道;如果N较小,即网络设备需要同时给较少的终端设备发送该下行控制信道,那么网络设备可以使用第二DCI格式发送承载有该DCI的下行控制信道。其中,第一DCI格式的DCI中用于表示多个DRX信息的比特位的数量,大于第二DCI格式的DCI中用于表示多个DRX信息的比特位的数量。网络设备将所使用的信道格式(例如第一DCI格式或第二DCI格式)指示给第一终端设备,从而第一终端设备可以基于相应的DCI格式,检测承载于该下行控制信道的包括自己的DRX信息在内的DCI。
可选地,在310中,该第一终端设备检测网络设备发送的下行控制信道,包括:第一终端设备检测网络设备在该DRX周期之前发送的该下行控制信道;或者第一终端设备检测该网络设备在该DRX周期中的激活期内的第一个子帧或第一个时隙中发送的该下行控制信道;或者第一终端设备检测网络设备在控制信道的公共搜索空间中发送的该下行控制信道。
例如,第一终端设备在第i个DRX周期检测到该下行控制信道,并根据该下行控制信道确定自己的DRX信息,那么该DRX信息可以指示第一终端设备在第i+1个DRX周期中的激活期内唤醒或者休眠,或者指示第一终端设备在第i+1个DRX周期以及第i+1个DRX周期之后的若干个DRX周期中的激活期内唤醒或者休眠。
又例如,第一终端设备可以在第i个DRX周期的激活期中的第一个子帧或第一个时隙检测到该下行控制信道,并根据该下行控制信道确定自己的DRX信息,那么该DRX信息可以指示第一终端设备在第i个DRX周期中的激活期内唤醒或者休眠。比如第一终端设备在某个DRX周期的激活期中的第一个子帧检测到该下行控制信道并获知在该DRX周期的激活期内需要休眠,那么第一终端设备可以从该DRX周期的激活期内的第二个子帧开始进入休眠直至该DRX周期结束,以降低功耗。
又例如,第一终端设备在控制信道的公共搜索空间中检测到该下行控制信道,并根据该下行控制信道确定自己的DRX信息,那么该DRX信息指示第一终端设备在检测到该DRX信息的时刻之后的一个或多个DRX周期中的激活期内唤醒或者休眠。
在320中,第一终端设备在该至少一个DRX信息中,确定该第一终端设备的DRX信息。
可选地,第一终端设备根据该下行控制信道,在该至少一个DRX信息中,确定第一终端设备的DRX信息,包括:第一终端设备根据第一终端设备的编号,确定第一终端设备的DRX信息,其中,第一终端设备的DRX信息为该至少一个DRX信息中与该编号对应的DRX信息。
其中,可选地,在第一终端设备根据第一终端设备的编号,确定第一终端设备的DRX信息之前,该方法还包括:第一终端设备接收网络设备发送的第三配置信息,该第三配置信息用于指示第一终端设备的该编号。
其中,该第三配置信息例如可以是网络设备通过RRC信令或者MAC CE发送给第一终端设备的,第一终端设备通过接收到的RRC信令或者MAC CE可以获取第一终端设备的编号。
例如表二所示,假设该下行控制信道包括N个比特值,分别用于表示N个终端设备的DRX信息,N个比特值与N个终端设备的N个DRX信息一一对应。终端设备的编号不同时,对应的DRX信息不同,表示该DRX信息的比特值也不同。如果网络设备告知第一终端设备的编号为1,那么根据对应的比特值1,可以知道在下一个DRX周期中的激活期内唤醒;如果网络设备告知第一终端设备的编号为2,那么根据对应的比特值0,可以知道在下一个DRX周期中的激活期内休眠;如果网络设备告知第一终端设备的编号为N,那么根据对应的比特值1,可以知道在下一个DRX周期中的激活期内唤醒。
表二

在330中,第一终端设备跟据第一终端设备的DRX信息,在该DRX周期中的激活期内唤醒或者休眠。
因此,网络设备向多个终端设备同时指示该多个终端设备的多个DRX信息,该多个终端设备中的第一终端设备在该多个DRX信息中确定自己的DRX信息,并根据自己的DRX信息在之后的DRX周期中的激活期内唤醒或者休眠,由于在之后的DRX周期中没有被调度时,第一终端设备可以在该DRX周期中的激活期内休眠,因而进一步降低了第一终端设备的功耗。
图4是本申请实施例的非连续接收的方法的示意性流程图。图4所示的方法可以由网络设备执行,该网络设备例如可以为图1中所示的网络设备10。如图4所示,该非连续接收的方法包括:
在410中,网络设备确定至少一个终端设备的至少一个非连续接收DRX信息,所述至少一个终端设备中每个终端设备的DRX信息用于指示所述每个终端设备在所述每个终端设备的DRX信息之后的DRX周期中的激活期内唤醒或者休眠。

因此,网络设备通过同时向多个终端设备指示该多个终端设备的多个DRX信息,实现了设备级别的DRX信息的指示,使得该多个终端设备在多个DRX信息中确定各自的DRX信息后,能够根据各自的DRX信息在之后的DRX周期中的激活期内唤醒或者休眠,从而在之后的DRX周期中没有被调度的终端设备,可以在该DRX周期中的激活期内休眠,进一步降低了功耗。

其中,该第二配置信息例如可以是网络设备通过RRC信令或者MAC CE发送给第一终端设备的,第一终端设备通过接收到的RRC信令或者MAC CE可以获取用于检测该下行控制信道的信道格式。
可选地,所述网络设备向所述第一终端设备发送下行控制信道,包括:所述网络设备在所述DRX周期之前向所述第一终端设备发送所述下行控制信道;或者所述网络设备在所述DRX周期中的激活期内的第一个子帧或第一个时隙中,向所述第一终端设备发送所述下行控制信道;或者所述网络设备在控制信道的公共搜索空间中向所述第一终端设备发送所述下行控制信道。
例如,网络设备可以向至少一个终端设备发送下行控制信道,如果至少一个终端设备中的第一终端设备在其第i个DRX周期中检测到该下行控制信道,那么该下行控制信道中承载的该第一终端设备的DRX信息可以指示该第一终端设备在其第i+1个DRX周期中的激活期内唤醒或者休眠,或者指示第一终端设备在其第i+1个DRX周期以及第i+1个DRX周期之后的若干个DRX周期中的激活期唤醒或者休眠。
又例如,网络设备可以向至少一个终端设备发送下行控制信道,如果至少一个终端设备中的第一终端设备在其第i个DRX周期中的激活期内的第一个子帧或第一个时隙检测到该下行控制信道,那么该下行控制信道中承载的该第一终端设备的DRX信息可以指示第一终端设备在其第i个DRX周期中的激活期内唤醒或者休眠。比如网络设备在第一终端设备的某个DRX周期的激活期中的第一个子帧发送该下行控制信道,第一终端设备检测到该下行控制信道并获知在该DRX周期的激活期内需要休眠,那么第一终端设备可以从该DRX周期的激活期中的第二个子帧开始进入休眠直至该DRX周期结束,以降低功耗。
又例如,网络设备可以在控制信道的公共搜索空间中,向至少一个终端设备发送下行控制信道,以指示每个终端设备在检测到自己的DRX信息时刻之后的一个或多个DRX周期中的激活期内唤醒或者休眠。
可选地,在所述网络设备向所述第一终端设备发送下行控制信道之前,所述方法还包括:所述网络设备向所述第一终端设备发送第三配置信息,所述第三配置信息指示所述第一终端设备的编号,其中,所述第一终端设备的DRX信息为所述至少一个DRX信息中与所述编号对应的DRX信息。
应理解,网络设备在指示DRX信息过程中的具体细节,可以参考前述图3中对终端设备的相关描述,为了简洁,这里不再赘述。
还应理解,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。
图5是根据本申请实施例的终端设备500的示意性框图。该终端设备为第一终端设备,如图5所示,该第一终端设备500包括收发单元510、确定单元520和处理单元530。其中:
