Description

一种系统信息指示方法及装置
本申请要求于2017年09月30日提交中国专利局、申请号为PCT/CN2017/104854、发明名称为“一种系统信息指示方法及装置”的国际专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请实施例涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种系统信息指示方法及装置。
背景技术
长期演进计划(Long Term Evolution,LTE)系统能够支持机器类通信(Machine Type Communication,MTC)业务。在支持MTC业务的LTE系统中,机器类用户设备(User Equipment,UE)称为MTC UE。
MTC UE通过接收基站发送的包括系统信息修改(systemInfoModification)或systemInfoModification-eDRX的寻呼(Paging)消息(或直接指示信息(Direct Indication Information,DII))确定系统信息(System Information,SI)是否发生变化。systemInfoModification用于指示除系统信息块(System Information Block,SIB)10、SIB11、SIB12和SIB14外的其他SIB在下一个变化周期中是否会发生变化。systemInfoModification-eDRX与systemInfoModification类似,不同的是,systemInfoModification-eDRX与配置了增强型非连续接收(enhanced Discontinuous Reception,eDRX)模式的MTC UE对应。
现有技术中,当MTC UE确定主信息块(Master Information Block,MIB)、SIB1、其他SIB(除SIB10、SIB11、SIB12、SIB14外)中的一个或多个发生变化时,MTC UE首先接收并读取承载在物理广播信道(Physical Broadcast Channel,PBCH)中的MIB;然后,MTC UE根据获取到的MIB,确定基站发送带宽压缩的系统信息块1(Bandwidth-Reduced System Information Block 1,SIB1-BR)所使用的调度信息,从而根据确定出的调度信息接收并读取SIB1-BR,SIB1-BR包括其他SIB的调度信息;最后,MTC UE根据获取到的SIB1-BR,判断其他SIB是否发生变化,如果发生了变化,则进一步获取其他的SIB。
采用上述方法,MTC UE根据寻呼消息或DII确定出系统信息发生变化后,均需执行上述过程以获取变化后的系统信息,时间消耗较大,进而影响MTC UE的响应时间,降低了用户的体验。
发明内容
本申请提供一种系统信息指示方法及装置,能够解决MTC UE获取系统信息消耗的时间较大的问题。
为达到上述目的,本申请采用如下技术方案:
第一方面,提供一种系统信息的获取方法,网络设备在确定出包括第一指示信息和第二指示信息的目标信息后,向通信设备发送该目标信息。这里,第一指示信息用于指示系统信息是否发生变化,第二指示信息用于指示MIB是否发生变化,或者,第 二指示信息用于指示MIB中的SIB1-BR的调度信息。
由于网络设备确定出的目标信息包括用于指示系统信息是否发生变化的第一指示信息、以及用于指示MIB是否发生变化或者用于指示MIB中的SIB1-BR的调度信息的第二指示信息,因此,在网络设备向通信设备发送该目标信息后,通信设备能够确定出在系统变化的场景中系统信息变化的细节,也就是说,通信设备能够确定出未发生变化的系统信息,以及发生变化的系统信息。这样,对于未发生变化的系统信息而言,通信设备直接获取存储的该系统信息即可,而无需再与网络设备通信,有效的减少了时间的消耗。
可选的,在本申请的一种可能的实现方式中,上述第二指示信息用于指示MIB是否发生变化时,第二指示信息用于指示MIB中的SIB1-BR的调度信息是否发生变化,或者,第二指示信息用于指示MIB中除系统帧号(System Frame Number,SFN)外的其他信息是否发生变化,或者,第二指示信息用于指示MIB中除系统信息变化指示信息外的其他信息是否发生变化;或者,第二指示信息用于指示MIB中除SFN和系统信息变化指示信息外的其他信息是否发生变化。
MIB包括SIB1-BR的调度信息以及周期性变化的SFN,因此,MIB中的SIB1-BR的调度信息是否发生变化相当于MIB是否发生变化,同理,MIB中除SFN外的其他信息是否发生变化相当于MIB是否发生变化。这样的话,在第二指示信息指示MIB是否发生变化时,该第二指示信息可用于指示MIB中的SIB1-BR的调度信息是否发生变化,也可用于指示MIB中除SFN外的其他信息是否发生变化。可选的,MIB还包括系统信息变化指示信息,该系统信息变化指示信息指示除SIB10、SIB11、SIB12以及SIB14之外的其他SIB在过去的一段时间内是否发生变化,或者指示SIB1-BR在过去的一段时间内是否发生变化,但不指示MIB中除该系统信息变化指示信息之外的其他信息是否发生变化。这样的话,在第二指示信息指示MIB是否发生变化时,该第二指示信息也可用于指示除系统信息变化指示信息外的其他信息是否发生变化,还可用于指示MIB中除SFN和系统信息变化指示信息外的其他信息是否发生变化。在这种情况下,第二指示信息的大小可以为1比特。

可选的,在本申请的另一种可能的实现方式中,DII或寻呼消息包括目标信息;或者,承载了DII的下行控制信息(Downlink Control Information,DCI)包括目标信息。本申请中的第二指示信息占用了DII,或承载了DII的DCI中的冗余比特。

本申请提供的各个单元模块所实现的功能具体如下:
上述确定单元,用于确定目标信息,目标信息包括第一指示信息和第二指示信息,第一指示信息用于指示系统信息是否发生变化,第二指示信息用于指示MIB是否发生变化,或者,第二指示信息用于指示MIB中的SIB1-BR的调度信息。上述发送单元,用于向通信设备发送上述确定单元确定出的目标信息。
进一步地,在本申请的一种可能的实现方式中,上述第二指示信息用于指示MIB是否发生变化时,第二指示信息用于指示MIB中的SIB1-BR的调度信息是否发生变化,或者,第二指示信息用于指示MIB中除SFN外的其他信息是否发生变化,或者,第二指示信息用于指示MIB中除系统信息变化指示信息外的其他信息是否发生变化;或者,第二指示信息用于指示MIB中除SFN和系统信息变化指示信息外的其他信息是否发生变化。

第五方面,还提供一种包括指令的计算机程序产品,当其在网络设备上运行时,使得网络设备执行如上述第一方面及其任一种可能的实现方式的系统信息指示方法。
在本申请中,上述网络设备的名字对设备或功能模块本身不构成限定,在实际实现中,这些设备或功能模块可以以其他名称出现。只要各个设备或功能模块的功能和本申请类似,属于本申请权利要求及其等同技术的范围之内。
本申请中第二方面、第三方面、第四方面、第五方面及其各种实现方式的具体描述,可以参考第一方面及其各种实现方式中的详细描述;并且,第二方面、第三方面、第四方面、第五方面及其各种实现方式的有益效果,可以参考第一方面及其各种实现方式中的有益效果分析,此处不再赘述。
第六方面,提供一种系统信息指示方法,通信设备首先接收网络设备发送的包括第一指示信息和第二指示信息的目标信息,该第一指示信息用于指示系统信息是否发生变化,该第二指示信息用于指示MIB是否发生变化,或者,该第二指示信息用于指示MIB中的SIB1-BR的调度信息;然后,该通信设备根据第一指示信息和第二指示信息,确定系统信息的变化情况;最后,该通信设备根据系统信息的变化情况,获取存储的系统信息和/或重新接收网络设备发送的系统信息。
由于目标信息中的第一指示信息用于指示系统信息是否发生变化的第一指示信息、第二指示信息用于指示MIB是否发生变化或者用于指示MIB中的SIB1-BR的调度信息,因此,通信设备根据第一指示信息和第二指示信息,能够确定在系统信息变化的场景中系统信息变化的细节,也就是说,通信设备能够确定出未发生变化的系统信息,以及发生变化的系统信息。这样,对于未发生变化的系统信息而言,通信设备直接获取存储的该系统信息即可,而无需再与网络设备通信,有效的减少了时间的消耗。
可选的,在本申请的一种可能的实现方式中,上述第二指示信息用于指示MIB是否发生变化时,第二指示信息用于指示MIB中的SIB1-BR的调度信息是否发生变化,或者,第二指示信息用于指示MIB中除SFN外的其他信息是否发生变化,或者,第二指示信息用于指示MIB中除系统信息变化指示信息外的其他信息是否发生变化;或者,第二指示信息用于指示MIB中除SFN和系统信息变化指示信息外的其他信息是否发生变化。在这种场景中,上述“通信设备根据系统信息的变化情况,获取存储的系统信息和重新接收网络设备发送的系统信息”的方法为:当第一指示信息指示系统信息发生变化、且第二指示信息指示MIB中的SIB1-BR的调度信息或者MIB中除SFN外的其他信息未发生变化时,或者,当MIB中除系统信息变化指示信息外的其他信息 未发生变化时,或者,当MIB中除SFN和系统信息变化指示信息外的其他信息未发生变化时,通信设备获取存储的MIB;通信设备根据存储的MIB,重新接收网络设备发送的SIB1-BR;根据重新接收到的SIB1-BR,获取除重新接收到的SIB1-BR之外的其他SIB。

具体实施方式
本申请的说明书和权利要求书及上述附图中的术语“第一”、“第二”和“第三”等是用于区别不同对象,而不是用于限定特定顺序。
在本申请实施例中,“示例性的”或者“例如”等词用于表示作例子、例证或说明。本申请实施例中被描述为“示例性的”或者“例如”的任何实施例或设计方案不应被解释为比其它实施例或设计方案更优选或更具优势。确切而言,使用“示例性的”或者“例如”等词旨在以具体方式呈现相关概念。
目前,在LTE系统以及长期演进的演进(Long Term Evolution Advanced,LTE-A)系统中,基站(Base Station,BS,或enhanced Node B,eNB)周期性地向UE发送SI,以便于UE获知系统的一些相关信息。系统信息包括最基本、最重要的系统信息和一般的系统信息。最基本、最重要的系统信息称为MIB,MIB承载于物理广播信道(Physical Broadcast Channel,PBCH)中发送。一般的系统信息包括多个SIB,例如SIB1、SIB2、……、SIB21等。SIB1包括除SIB1之外的其他SIB的调度信息,该调度信息包括其他SIB的调度周期、接收窗口大小、偏置参数中的一个或多个。也就是说,UE需要读取SIB1,才能够确定除SIB1之外的其他SIB是否存在以及其他SIB在哪些时频位置上传输。
MTC是指通过部署具有一定感知、计算、执行和通信能力的各种设备,以获取物 理世界的信息,通过网络实现信息传输、协同和处理,从而实现人与物、物与物的互联的技术。现有的LTE系统能够支持MTC业务。LTE系统中的机器类通信UE称为MTC UE。
MTC UE可以为带宽减少的低复杂度UE(Bandwidth-reduced Low-complexity UE,BL UE),也可以为覆盖增强的UE(Coverage Enhancement UE,CE UE)。MTC UE的带宽较窄,通常小于系统带宽。
由于MTC UE的带宽通常小于系统带宽,MTC UE通过检测机器类型通信的物理下行控制信道(MTC Physical Downlink Control Channel,MPDCCH)来获取控制信息,而不是通过检测物理下行信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel,PDCCH)来获取控制信息。为此,基站还会向MTC UE发送SIB1-BR的内容与SIB1的内容相同,但传输带宽仅为1个窄带(Narrowband,NB)。MTC UE在接收到SIB1-BR后,可根据SIB1-BR获得其他SIB的调度信息。SIB1-BR的调度信息schedulingInfoSIB1-BR承载于MIB中,schedulingInfoSIB1-BR的大小为5比特,schedulingInfoSIB1-BR包括SIB1-BR的传输块大小(Transport Block Size,TBS)以及SIB1-BR的重复次数。MTC UE通过读取MIB中的schedulingInfoSIB1-BR信息,确定SIB1-BR的存在、SIB1-BR在哪些时频资源上传输以及SIB1-BR的传输块大小。
除了其他SIB(除SIB1-BR之外)的调度信息之外,SIB1-BR还包括一个5比特的系统信息标签值(systemInfoValueTag)以及若干个2比特的systemInfoValueTagSI。系统信息(除MIB、SIB1、SIB10、SIB11、SIB12、SIB14外)每发生一次改变,则systemInfoValueTag的数值加1。systemInfoValueTag的取值范围为{0、1、2、……、31},超过31后回到0重新开始。这样,当MTU UE获取到一个systemInfoValueTag时(比如当MTU UE离开小区服务范围一段时间再回到该小区后),该MTU UE比较其获取到的systemInfoValueTag的数值与之前记录的systemInfoValueTag是否相同,即MTU UE判断当前系统信息与存储的系统信息是否相同;如果不同,该MTU UE则确定当前系统信息相较其存储的系统信息发生了改变,需要考虑重新获取更新后的系统信息。每个systemInfoValueTagSI对应一个SIB,用于指示该SIB的状态,MTU UE根据SIB1-BR包括的systemInfoValueTagSI能够确定出哪些SIB发生了变化。
综上所述,MIB包括了SIB1-BR的调度信息,但MIB无法指示SIB1-BR是否发生了变化,SIB1-BR包括了其他SIB(除SIB1-BR之外)的调度信息,以及其他SIB的systemInfoValueTagSI。这样的话,如图1所示,MTU UE在接入小区,并完成主同步信号(Primary Synchronization Signal,PSS)/辅同步信号(Secondary Synchronization Signal,SSS)同步后,该MTU UE需要获取到MIB才能确定出SIB1-BR的传输资源,进而解调SIB1-BR。MTU UE在获取到SIB1-BR后,才能够获取到传输其他SIB的资源信息,并确定出其他SIB是否发生了变化。
具体的,MIB除了包括SIB1-BR的调度信息schedulingInfoSIB1-BR,还包括下行带宽(Download-Bandwidth,DL-Bandwidth)、物理混合自动重传指示信道配置信息(Physical Hybrid ARQ Indicator Channel-config,PHICH-config)以及SFN。一般的,在MTU UE与基站的通信过程中,DL-Bandwidth的数值不会发生变化,PHICH-config的数值几乎不会发生变化,即使发生了变化对MTU UE而言也不会有影响,SFN的数 值周期性发生变化,其取值范围为{0~1023},对于已经与系统同步的MTU UE而言,该MTU UE能自行确定出SFN的数值。
现有技术中,MTU LTE系统中配置了MTU UE在一些寻呼时机(Paging Occasion,PO)上开始接收承载了下行控制信息(Downlink Control Information,DCI)format 6-2格式的MPDCCH,该MPDCCH用于指示寻呼(Paging)消息的调度信息,这样,MTU UE根据该Paging消息确定其是否被寻呼;或者,该MPDCCH不用于指示寻呼消息,而是承载了直接指示信息(Direct Indication Information,DII),用于指示系统信息是否发生了变化。
若MPDCCH指示了一个寻呼消息的调度信息,MTU UE可以通过该寻呼消息确定系统信息是否有变化。具体的,寻呼消息包括一个1比特的系统信息修改(systemInfoModification),该systemInfoModification用于指示除SIB10、SIB11、SIB12和SIB14外的其他系统信息在下一个变化周期中是否会发生变化。需要说明的是,系统信息发生变化的时刻不是任意的,现有的标准中规定了系统信息变化的周期,系统信息只能在这些周期开始时发生变化。可选的,寻呼消息还可以包括systemInfoModification-eDRX,systemInfoModification-eDRX用于向配置了eDRX模式的MTU UE指示系统信息是否发生了变化。可选的,寻呼消息可同时包括systemInfoModification和systemInfoModification-eDRX,MTU UE根据自身是否配置了eDRX而决定参考哪个信息。
若MPDCCH承载一个DII,该DII为8比特,具体包括了systemInfoModification、地震及海啸预警系统指示(earthquake and tsunami warning system Indication,etws-Indication)、商用移动警报系统指示(commercial mobile alert system Indication,cmas-Indication)、扩展接入禁止参数变化(extended access barring Parameter Modification,eab-ParamModification)以及systemInfoModification-eDRX。
示例性的,表1示出了上述8比特的DII的格式。从表1中可以看出,DII的冗余比特有3比特,分别为比特位6、比特位7、比特位8。
表1
比特位 内容
1 systemInfoModification
2 etws-Indication
3 cmas-Indication
4 eab-ParamModification
5 systemInfoModification-eDRX
6、7、8 未使用
可选的,承载DII的DCI的格式为DCI format 6-2。实际应用中,DCI format 6-2格式的信息的大小是随着系统带宽的变化而变化的。承载有DII的DCI中的冗余比特数至少为3。这里,冗余比特数包括DII中未使用的比特数和DCI format 6-2中除DII外的保留比特数。
示例性的,表2示出了在不同系统带宽中,传输DII的DCI format 6-2包括的比特数以及冗余比特数。当系统带宽为10HZ时,承载有DII的DCI包括11个比特,其 中,11比特中有6比特为冗余比特,6个冗余比特中有3个比特为DII中未使用的比特,另外3个比特为除DII外的保留比特数。

Figure PCTCN2018082048-appb-000001
综上所述,MTU UE根据寻呼消息,或DII,能够确定出系统信息是否发生变化。在MTU UE根据寻呼消息或DII确定系统信息发生变化的情况下,MTU UE只能根据systemInfoModification或systemInfoModification-eDRX确定系统信息发生变化。结合图1,当MTU UE根据systemInfoModification或systemInfoModification-eDRX确定系统信息发生变化后,该MTC UE首先读取承载在PBCH中的MIB;然后,MTC UE根据获取到的MIB,确定基站发送SIB1-BR所使用的资源信息,从而根据确定出的资源信息读取SIB1-BR;最后,MTC UE根据获取到的SIB1-BR,判断其他SIB是否发生变化,如果发生了变化,则进一步获取其他的SIB。
由于MTU UE只能根据systemInfoModification或systemInfoModification-eDRX确定系统信息是否发生变化,而无法获取到系统信息变化的相关内容,因此,MTU UE需要执行图1示出的流程以更新系统信息,时间消耗较大,影响了MTC UE的响应时间,降低了用户的体验。
此外,对于离基站较远,或者位于无线通信链路较差(比如地下室)的深覆盖区域的MTU UE而言,为了接收并读取MIB、SIB1-BR以及除SIB1-BR之外的其他SIB,该MTU UE通常需要做多次重复累积接收才能正确地解调出这些信息,这样,MTU UE获取系统信息消耗的时间更大。
针对上述获取系统信息消耗的时间较大的问题,本申请实施例提供一种系统信息指示方法,通过向通信设备发送包括用于指示系统信息是否发生变化的第一指示信息、以及用于指示MIB是否发生变化或者用于指示MIB中的SIB1-BR的调度信息的第二指示信息的目标信息,使得通信设备能够确定出在系统变化的场景中系统信息变化的细节,也就是说,通信设备能够确定出未发生变化的系统信息,以及发生变化的系统信息。这样,对于未发生变化的系统信息而言,通信设备直接获取存储的该系统信息即可,而无需再与网络设备通信,有效的减少了时间的消耗。
本申请实施例提供的系统信息指示方法适用于通信系统。该通信系统可以是LTE系统,也可以是LTE-A系统,还可以是其他存在系统信息的传输的通信系统,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
图2是本申请实施例提供的通信系统的结构示意图。参见图2,该通信系统包括多个通信设备和网络设备21,每个通信设备与网络设备21进行数据传输。图2示出 了6个通信设备,这6个通信设备分别为通信设备1、通信设备2、通信设备3、通信设备4、通信设备5、通信设备6。图2中的通信设备4、通信设备5以及通信设备6还组成一个设备到设备(Device to Device,D2D)通信系统,通信设备4和通信设备6分别通过通信设备5与网络设备21通信。
本申请实施例中的通信设备可以是指能够接收网络设备21发送的调度信息和指示信息的无线终端。无线终端可以是指向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备,具有无线连接功能的手持式设备、或连接到无线调制解调器的其他处理设备。例如,该无线终端为MTU UE。
无线终端可以经无线接入网(例如,RAN,英文:Radio Access Network)与一个或多个核心网进行通信。无线终端可以是移动终端,如移动电话(或称为“蜂窝”电话)和具有移动终端的计算机,也可以是便携式、袖珍式、手持式、计算机内置的或者车载的移动装置,它们与无线接入网交换语言和/或数据,例如,手机、平板电脑、笔记本电脑、上网本、个人数字助理(Personal Digital Assistant,PDA)。该无线终端也可以称为终端设备,该终端设备可以执行如图1所示方法。

可选的,目标信息为DII,或寻呼消息,或承载有DII的DCI。为了便于描述,本申请实施例以目标信息为承载有DII的DCI为例进行说明。
第一指示信息用于指示系统信息是否发生变化。结合前面描述可知,第一指示信 息可以表示为systemInfoModification或者systemInfoModification-eDRX。第一指示信息的大小为1比特。示例性的,当第一指示信息的数值为“1”时,该第一指示信息指示系统信息发生变化;当第一指示信息的数值为“0”时,该第一指示信息指示系统信息未发生变化。
第二指示信息用于指示MIB是否发生变化。从前面描述可知,承载有DII的DCI包括冗余比特,且不同系统带宽下,承载有DII的DCI包括的冗余比特的数量不同。第二指示信息占用承载有DII的DCI中的冗余比特,这样在现有的承载有DII的DCI的基础上即可实现,适应性较强。
结合前面描述可知,MIB包括SIB1-BR的调度信息、DL-Bandwidth、PHICH-config以及SFN。在通信设备与网络设备的通信过程中,DL-Bandwidth的数值不会发生变化,PHICH-config的数值几乎不会发生变化,即使发生了变化对MTU UE而言也不会有影响,SFN的数值周期性发生变化,但通信设备在与系统同步后可自行确定出SFN的数值。因此,“MIB是否发生变化”相当于“MIB中的SIB1-BR的调度信息是否发生变化”,或者相当于“MIB中除SFN外的其他信息是否发生变化”。也就是说,第二指示信息指示MIB中的SIB1-BR的调度信息是否发生变化,或者,第二指示信息指示MIB中除SFN外的其他信息是否发生变化。在这种情况下,第二指示信息的大小可以为1比特。第二指示信息占用承载有DII的DCI中的一个冗余比特。
此外,MIB还可以包括系统信息变化指示信息。该系统信息变化指示信息指示除SIB10、SIB11、SIB12以及SIB14之外的其他SIB在过去的一段时间(示例性的,过去的24小时)内是否发生变化,而不指示MIB中除该系统信息变化指示信息之外的其他信息是否发生变化;或者,该系统信息变化指示信息指示SIB1-BR在过去的一段时间内(示例性的,过去的24小时)是否发生变化,而不指示MIB中除该系统信息变化指示信息之外的其他信息是否发生变化。需要注意的是,其他SIB可以包括SIB1-BR,而且,其他SIB中除SIB1-BR之外的SIB的变化可以引起SIB1-BR的变化。
其中,系统信息变化指示信息是否发生变化可以不影响通信设备判断是否重新接收MIB信息。示例性的,当系统信息变化指示信息为“1”时,指示其他SIB发生变化;当系统信息变化指示信息为“0”时,指示其他SIB未发生变化。若系统信息变化指示信息从“0”变为“1”,则代表其他SIB发生了变化,因此,通信设备需要重新接收SIB1-BR,并且可以根据SIB-BR确定是否接收除了该SIB-BR之外的其他SIB,但并不一定需要重新接收MIB。若系统信息变化指示信息从“1”变为“0”,则代表其他SIB的未变化时间超过了24小时,因此,若通信设备在24小时内更新过其他SIB,则该通信设备不需要重新接收SIB1-BR,也不需要重新接收其他SIB,并且也并不一定需要重新接收MIB。
又例如,当系统信息变化指示信息为“1”时,指示SIB1-BR发生变化;当系统信息变化指示信息为“0”时,指示SIB1-BR未发生变化。若系统信息变化指示信息从“0”变为“1”,则代表SIB1-BR发生了变化,因此,通信设备需要重新接收SIB1-BR,并且可以根据SIB-BR确定是否接收除了该SIB-BR之外的其他SIB,但并不一定需要重新接收MIB。若系统信息变化指示信息从“1”变为“0”,则代表SIB1-BR的未变化时间超过了24小时,因此,若通信设备在24小时内更新过SIB1-BR,则该通信设备不需要重 新接收SIB1-BR,也不需要重新接收其他SIB,并且也并不一定需要重新接收MIB。
可见,该系统信息变化指示信息可以不影响通信设备判断是否需要重新接收MIB信息。因此,“MIB是否发生变化”相当于“MIB中除系统信息变化指示信息之外的其他信息是否发生变化”,或者相当于“MIB中除SFN和系统信息变化指示信息之外的其他信息是否发生变化”。也就是说,第二指示信息可指示除系统信息变化指示信息外的其他信息是否发生变化,也可指示MIB中除SFN和系统信息变化指示信息外的其他信息是否发生变化。在这种情况下,第二指示信息的大小可以为1比特。第二指示信息占用承载有DII的DCI中的一个冗余比特。
可选的,由于SIB1-BR的调度信息包括SIB1-BR的TBS以及SIB1-BR的重复次数,因此,“MIB中的SIB1-BR的调度信息是否发生变化”也可表示为“SIB1-BR的TBS是否发生变化”以及“SIB1-BR的重复次数是否发生变化”。也就是说,第二指示信息可以包括第一标识和第二标识,其中,第一标识指示SIB1-BR的TBS是否发生变化,第二标识指示SIB1-BR的重复次数是否发生变化。在这种情况下,第二指示信息的大小可以为2比特,第一标识和第二标识的大小分别为1比特。同理,第一指示和第二指示均占用承载有DII的DCI中的一个冗余比特。
可选的,由于通信设备每次在获取到系统信息后,会存储其获取到的系统信息,因此,网络设备可向通信设备发送SIB1-BR的调度信息,这样的话,通信设备可根据存储的SIB1-BR的调度信息和重新接收到的SIB1-BR的调度信息确定SIB1-BR的调度信息是否发生变化。也就是说,网络设备向通信设备发送当前的SIB1-BR的调度信息间接的反映了SIB1-BR的调度信息是否发生变化,即反映了MIB是否发生变化。在这种情况下,第二指示信息指示SIB1-BR的调度信息。
SIB1-BR的调度信息包括SIB1-BR的TBS以及SIB1-BR的重复次数。实际应用中,SIB1-BR的TBS有6种,其数值分别为208、256、328、504、712、936,SIB1-BR的重复次数有3种,其数值分别为4、8、16。示例性的,如表3所示,表3示出了SIB1-BR的调度信息的十进制数值与SIB1-BR的TBS、SIB1-BR的重复次数之间的对应关系。表3中,当SIB1-BR的调度信息schedulingInfoSIB1-BR的数值为6时,SIB1-BR的TBS的数值为256,SIB1-BR的重复次数为16。

实际应用中,当系统带宽小于5MHz,也即为系统带宽为1.4MHz或3MHz时,SIB1-BR的重复次数仅为4。当系统带宽大于或等于5MHz,也即系统带宽为5MHz、10MHz、15MHz或20MHz时,SIB1-BR的重复次数可以为4、8或16。
相应的,在第二指示信息指示SIB1-BR的调度信息的情况下,当系统带宽小于5MHz时,第二指示信息具体指示SIB1-BR的传输块大小。
从上面描述可知,当系统带宽为1.4MHz或3MHz时,SIB1-BR的重复次数只能为4,因此,第二指示信息无需再指示SIB1-BR的重复次数。由于实际应用中SIB1-BR的TBS仅有6种,因此,第二指示信息占用承载有DII的DCI的3个冗余比特即可。
示例性的,表4示出了在第二指示信息指示SIB1-BR的调度信息、且系统带宽小于5MHz时,第二指示信息的不同数值(二进制表示),以及每个第二指示信息的数值对应的SIB1-BR的TBS。结合表4,在第二指示信息指示SIB1-BR的调度信息、且系统带宽小于5MHz的场景中,当第二指示信息的数值为000时,该第二指示信息表示SIB1-BR的TBS为208。

表4中,第二指示信息的数值为110和111时,第二指示信息未指示SIB1-BR的TBS。本申请实施例中,当第二指示信息的数值为上述表4中的110和111时,第二指示信息可以指示以下信息中的至少一种:
1、MIB中除了SFN外的其他信息未发生变化,或通信设备使用存储的系统信息。
2、MIB中除了SIB1-BR的调度信息发生变化外,其他信息也发生变化,或通信设备重新接收MIB和/或SIB1-BR。
3、SIB1-BR和/或其他SIB未发生变化。
4、SIB1-BR的调度信息以及其他SIB的调度信息未发生变化,但内容发生了变化。
在第二指示信息指示SIB1-BR的调度信息的情况下,当系统带宽大于或等于5MHz 时,第二指示信息具体用于指示SIB1-BR的传输块大小和重复次数。从前面描述可知,当系统带宽大于或等于5MHz时,承载有DII的DCI中的冗余比特数至少为5。因此,第二指示信息可以占用承载有DII的DCI包括的5个冗余比特。
可选的,在第二指示信息指示SIB1-BR的调度信息的情况下,当系统带宽大于或等于5MHz时,第二指示信息的数值用于指示SIB1-BR的传输块大小和重复次数,如表3所示;或者,第二指示信息包括大小为2比特的第一子信息和大小为3比特的第二子信息,第一子信息用于指示SIB1-BR的重复次数,第二子信息用于指示SIB1-BR的传输块大小。示例性的,表5示出了在第二指示信息指示SIB1-BR的调度信息、且系统带宽大于等于5MHz时,第一子信息的不同数值(二进制表示)以及其对应的SIB1-BR的重复次数。结合表5,在第二指示信息指示SIB1-BR的调度信息,且系统带宽大于或等于5MHz的场景中,第一子信息的数值为10时,该第一子信息表示SIB1-BR的重复次数为8。

类似的,当第二指示信息的大小为5比特时,对于未用于指示SIB1-BR的重复次数或SIB1-BR的TBS的第二指示信息的数值,可用于指示以下信息中的至少一种:
1、MIB中除了SFN外的其他信息未发生变化,或通信设备使用存储的系统信息。
2、MIB中除了SIB1-BR的调度信息发生变化外,其他信息也发生变化,或通信设备重新接收MIB和/或SIB1-BR。
3、SIB1-BR和/或其他SIB未发生变化。
4、SIB1-BR的调度信息以及其他SIB的调度信息未发生变化,但内容发生了变化。
容易理解的是,由于DII包括的冗余比特数最多为3,承载有DII的DCI包括的冗余比特数最少为3,因此,当第二指示信息的大小小于或等于3比特时,该第二指示信息可以占用DII中的冗余比特,或承载有DII的DCI中的冗余比特。当第二指示信息的大小大于3比特时,该第二指示信息不仅需要占用DII中的冗余比特,还需要占用承载有DII的DCI中除DII外的其他冗余比特。
网络设备在确定出包括第一指示信息和第二指示信息的目标信息后,向通信设备发送该目标信息,即网络设备执行S502。
对应的,在网络设备发送目标信息后,通信设备可接收到该目标信息,这样,通信设备可根据目标信息中的第一指示信息和第二指示信息确定系统信息的变化情况,并根据确定出的系统信息的变化情况,获取存储的系统信息或重新接收网络设备发送的系统信息,即通信设备执行S502和S503。
可选的,若第二指示信息指示MIB中的SIB1-BR的调度信息是否发生变化,则当第一指示信息指示系统信息发生变化、且第二指示信息指示MIB中的SIB1-BR的调度信息未发生变化时,通信设备执行下述流程:获取存储的MIB,然后,根据存储的MIB,重新接收网络设备发送的SIB1-BR,并根据重新接收到的SIB1-BR,获取除重新接收到的SIB1-BR之外的其他SIB。
通信设备根据重新接收到的SIB1-BR,获取除重新接收到的SIB1-BR之外的其他SIB的方法为:通信设备判断重新接收到的SIB1-BR与存储的SIB1-BR是否相同;若相同,通信设备获取存储的除重新接收到的SIB1-BR之外的其他SIB;若不同,通信设备重新接收网络设备发送的除重新接收到的SIB1-BR之外的其他SIB。
若第二指示信息指示MIB中的SIB1-BR的调度信息是否发生变化,则当第一指示信息指示系统信息发生变化、且第二指示信息指示MIB中的SIB1-BR的调度信息发生变化时,通信设备重新接收MIB。可选的,通信设备重新接收MIB后,可判断重新接收到的MIB与存储的MIB是否相同,并根据判断结果执行后续流程,也可按照现有的获取系统信息的流程,读取MIB中的SIB1-BR的调度信息,并根据读取到的SIB1-BR调度信息获取SIB1-BR,以及根据获取到的SIB1-BR获取其他SIB。
可选的,若第二指示信息用于指示MIB中除SFN外的其他信息是否发生变化,通信设备的处理流程与上述第二指示信息指示MIB中的SIB1-BR的调度信息是否发生变化时通信设备的处理流程相同,此处不再进行详细赘述。
可选的,若第二指示信息包括第一标识和第二标识,第一标识用于指示SIB1-BR的传输块大小是否发生变化,第二标识用于指示SIB1-BR的重复次数是否发生变化,则当第一指示信息指示系统信息发生变化、第一标识用于指示SIB1-BR的传输块大小未发生变化、且第二标识用于指示SIB1-BR的重复次数未发生变化时,通信设备执行下述流程:获取存储的MIB;根据存储的MIB,重新接收网络设备发送的SIB1-BR;根据重新接收到的SIB1-BR,获取除重新接收到的SIB1-BR之外的其他SIB。
这里,通信设备根据重新接收到的SIB1-BR,获取除重新接收到的SIB1-BR之外的其他SIB的方法可以参考上述描述,此处不再进行详细赘述。
可选的,若第二指示信息包括第一标识和第二标识,第一标识用于指示SIB1-BR的传输块大小是否发生变化,第二标识用于指示SIB1-BR的重复次数是否发生变化, 则当第一指示信息指示系统信息发生变化、第一标识用于指示SIB1-BR的传输块大小未发生变化、且第二标识用于指示SIB1-BR的重复次数发生变化时,通信设备重新接收MIB。通信设备重新接收MIB的方法可以参考上述描述,此处不再进行详细赘述。
可选的,若第二指示信息包括第一标识和第二标识,第一标识用于指示SIB1-BR的传输块大小是否发生变化,第二标识用于指示SIB1-BR的重复次数是否发生变化,则当第一指示信息指示系统信息发生变化、第一标识用于指示SIB1-BR的传输块大小发生变化,且第二标识用于指示SIB1-BR的重复次数未发生变化时,通信设备执行下述流程:同步重新接收网络设备发送的MIB和SIB1-BR,也就是说,通信设备在重新接收网络设备发送的MIB的过程中,也接收网络设备发送的SIB1-BR;根据重新接收到的MIB和重新接收到的SIB1-BR,获取除重新接收到的SIB1-BR之外的其他SIB。
可选的,若第二指示信息包括第一标识和第二标识,第一标识用于指示SIB1-BR的传输块大小是否发生变化,第二标识用于指示SIB1-BR的重复次数是否发生变化,则当第一指示信息指示系统信息发生变化、第一标识用于指示SIB1-BR的传输块大小发生变化、且第二标识用于指示SIB1-BR的重复次数发生变化时,通信设备重新接收MIB。通信设备重新接收MIB的方法可以参考上述描述,此处不再进行详细赘述。
可选的,若第二指示信息指示MIB中的SIB1-BR的调度信息,通信设备在接收到目标信息后执行下述流程:当第一指示信息指示系统信息发生变化时,根据第二指示信息获取SIB1-BR的调度信息,并根据调度信息获取SIB1-BR。此外,通信设备还可以获取存储的SIB1-BR的调度信息;当存储的SIB1-BR的调度信息与第二指示信息指示的SIB1-BR的调度信息相同时,确定MIB未发生变化;当存储的SIB1-BR的调度信息与第二指示信息指示的SIB1-BR的调度信息不同时,确定MIB发生变化。
此外,本申请实施例中的目标信息除了包括上述第一指示信息和上述第二指示信息外,还可以包括第三指示信息。该第三指示信息用于指示除SIB10、SIB11、SIB12以及SIB14之外的其他SIB是否发生变化或者用于指示SIB1-BR是否发生变化。这是因为,除了SIB1-BR、SIB10、SIB12、以及SIB14之外的其他SIB发生变化都会引起SIB1-BR中的systemInfoValueTag和/或systemInfoValueTagSI的变化,因此,指示除SIB10、SIB11、SIB12以及SIB14之外的其他SIB是否发生变化,相当于指示SIB1-BR是否发生变化。第三指示信息的大小可以为1比特。这样,通信设备在接收到目标信息后,根据第一指示信息、第二指示信息和第三指示信息,确定系统信息的变化情况。
结合图5,如图6所示,图5中的S502可替换为S502'。
S502'、通信设备根据第一指示信息、第二指示信息和第三指示信息,确定系统信息的变化情况。
具体的,当第一指示信息指示系统信息发生变化、第二指示信息用于指示MIB发生变化、且第三指示信息用于指示其他SIB或SIB1-BR未发生变化时,通信设备重新接收网络设备发送的MIB,并获取存储的SIB1-BR。
当第一指示信息指示系统信息发生变化、第二指示信息用于指示MIB未发生变化、且第三指示信息用于指示其他SIB或SIB1-BR发生变化时,通信设备获取存储的MIB,并根据存储的MIB,重新接收网络设备发送的SIB1-BR。然后,该通信设备根据重新接收到的SIB1-BR,获取除重新接收到的SIB1-BR之外的其他SIB。这里,通信设备 根据重新接收到的SIB1-BR,获取除重新接收到的SIB1-BR之外的其他SIB的方法可以参考上述描述,此处不再进行详细赘述。
综上所述,通信设备不仅能够根据第一指示信息确定系统信息是否发生变化,还能够根据第二指示信息确定MIB是否发生变化,或者确定SIB1-BR/其他SIB是否发生变化,即确定出未发生变化的系统信息,以及发生变化的系统信息。这样,对于未发生变化的系统信息而言,通信设备直接获取存储的该系统信息即可,而无需再与网络设备通信,有效的减少了时间的消耗。
