辅小区状态的指示方法及通信设备
相关申请的交叉引用
本申请主张在2018年1月4日在中国提交的中国专利申请号No.201810008827.5的优先权，其全部内容通过引用包含于此。
技术领域
本公开涉及通信技术领域，尤其涉及一种辅小区状态的指示方法及通信设备。
背景技术
长期演进(Long Term Evolution，LTE)系统引入了载波聚合技术，载波聚合技术中，一个用户终端(User Equipment，UE)可以通过多个服务小区和网络进行通信连接。其中一个服务小区为主服务小区(Primary Cell,PCell)，其他的服务小区为辅服务小区(Secondary Cell，SCell)。其中SCell有激活和去激活两种状态，PCell一直保持激活状态。
对于SCell的激活/去激活机制，通常基于激活/去激活MAC控制元素(Activation/Deactivation MAC Control Element)或去激活定时器(deactivation timer)实现。在上述SCell的激活/去激活机制中，激活状态与去激活状态之间的转换存在较大的时延，为了减小该时延，LTE中引入一种SCell第三状态(new fast SCell activation state(简称SCell new state))。所属领域技术人员可以理解，该第三状态可以称之为第三态，或者新状态，或者所属领域技术人员知道的其他词汇，然词汇本身并不构成限制。一种情况下，该第三状态可以理解为介于激活状态和去激活状态之间的状态。简而言之，在该第三状态下，允许基于小区参考信号(Cell Reference Signal，CRS)进行周期信道质量指示(Channel Quality Indication，CQI)上报，并且不监听物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel，PDCCH)。
然而，对于如何通过MAC CE来控制SCell三种状态之间的转换，还没有相应的解决方案。这样，在引入第三状态之后，由于没有上述相应的解决 方案，而导致通信系统存在兼容性较差的问题。

具体实施方式
下面将结合本公开实施例中的附图，对本公开实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述，显然，所描述的实施例是本公开一部分实施例，而不是全部的实施例。基于本公开中的实施例，本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例，都属于本公开保护的范围。
图1是本公开实施例提供的一种辅小区状态的指示系统的结构图，如图1所示，包括用户终端(User Equipment，UE)11和网络侧设备12，其中，UE11可以是移动通信终端，例如：可以是手机、平板电脑(Tablet Personal Computer)、膝上型电脑(Laptop Computer)、个人数字助理(personal digital assistant，PDA)、移动上网装置(Mobile Internet Device，MID)或可穿戴式设备(Wearable Device)等终端侧设备，需要说明的是，在本公开实施例中并不限定UE11的具体类型。上述网络侧设备12可以是5G网络侧设备(例如：gNB、5G NR NB)，或者可以是4G网络侧设备(例如：eNB)，或者可以是3G网络侧设备(例如：NB)等等，需要说明的是，在本公开实施例中并不限定网络侧设备12的具体类型。
图2是本公开实施例提供的一种辅小区状态的指示方法的流程图，如图2所示，一种辅小区状态的指示方法，包括：
步骤201、网络侧设备配置状态转换指示信息，所述状态转换指示信息用于指示辅小区的状态在激活状态、去激活状态和第三状态中的两个状态之间的转换。
步骤202、所述网络侧设备向UE发送所述状态转换指示信息。
步骤203、所述UE接收所述网络侧设备发送的状态转换指示信息。
步骤204、所述UE根据所述状态转换指示信息，对辅小区的状态进行转换。
本公开实施例中，网络侧设备配置状态转换指示信息，UE接收网络侧设备发送的该状态转换指示信息，这样，UE可以根据该状态转换指示信息，对辅小区的状态进行转换。其中，辅小区的状态可以在激活状态、去激活状态 和第三状态中的两个状态之间进行转换。
需要说明的是，本公开实施例中，辅小区的状态在激活状态、去激活状态和第三状态中的两个状态之间的转换，包括：辅小区的状态根据状态转换指示信息在激活状态与第三状态之间的转换；或者，辅小区的状态根据状态转换指示信息在去激活状态与第三状态之间的转换；或者，辅小区的状态根据状态转换指示信息按照预设转换顺序在激活状态、去激活状态和第三状态中的两个状态之间的转换。
其中，上述状态转换指示信息的具体格式，以及，与状态转换之间的对应关系，可以是依协议约定，也可以是依高层配置，对此，本公开实施例不作限定。
需要说明的是，辅小区的第三状态是在LTE系统中引入的一种辅小区新状态。在LTE系统中引入该新状态，是由于辅小区由去激活状态转换为激活状态的时延较大，引入的该新状态旨在减小该时延。该新状态在LTE系统中的定义是，new fast SCell activation state，简称SCell new state，一种情况下，该SCell new state为介于激活状态和去激活状态之间的状态。在该SCell new state下，同意了以下内容：对状态转换不引入L1信令；允许基于CRS进行周期CQI上报；不监听PDCCH；该SCell new state与激活状态之间的转换，或该SCell new state与去激活状态之间的转换，均可以通过媒体接入控制(Media Access Control，MAC)控制元素(Control Element，CE)来控制。
另外，在未来的通信系统中，例如，第五代移动通信技术(5th-generation，5G)新无线(New Radio，NR)中，所属领域技术人员可以理解，该第三状态可以称之为第三态，或者新状态，或者所属领域技术人员知道的其他词汇，本公开实施例对此不作限定。
本公开实施例中，通过配置状态转换指示信息，以用于指示辅小区的状态在激活状态、去激活状态和第三状态中的两个状态之间的转换，使得在引入第三状态之后，能够减小辅小区在激活状态与去激活状态之间进行转换时产生的时延；并使得在引入第三状态之后，提高了通信系统的兼容性。
为了更清楚地理解本公开实施例的技术方案，下面分别以多种可能的状态指示信息为例，对本公开各实施例进行具体描述。
网络侧配置的状态转换指示信息包括N个比特位的MAC CE，所述N为正整数；MAC CE包括M个辅小区序列比特位C i，所述M为正整数，所述i为小于或等于M的整数。其中，i可以为小于或者等于M的任意整数。
本实施例中，C i的值，用于指示所述C i对应的辅小区的状态在所述激活状态、所述去激活状态和所述第三状态中的两个状态之间的转换。
可选的，所述MAC CE还包括预留比特位R，这样，R的值以及C i的值，用于指示所述C i对应的辅小区的状态在所述激活状态、所述去激活状态和所述第三状态中的两个状态之间的转换；
若所述R的值为第一预设值，则指示将取值为第二预设值的C i对应的辅小区的状态转换为所述第三状态；
若所述R的值为第三预设值，则指示将取值为第四预设值的C i对应的辅小区的状态由所述第三状态转换为所述激活状态或所述去激活状态；
若所述R的值为第五预设值，则指示将取值为第六预设值的C i对应的辅小区的状态按照预设转换顺序由当前状态转换至下一状态。
假设一：预留比特位R的值配置为“1”，且相应的C i的取值配置为“1”，并且没有同时的既有(legacy)LCID和legacy MAC CE，指示将相应的辅小区转换到第三状态；预留比特位R的值配置为“1”，且相应的C i的取值配置为“0”，指示将相应的辅小区由第三状态转换到激活状态或去激活状态。
对于将相应的辅小区由第三状态转换到激活状态，还是转换到去激活状态，可以通过网络侧设备配置legacy MAC CE进行指示。利用legacy MAC CE指示激活状态与去激活状态，可以通过相关技术得以实现，因此，本实施例对此不作具体描述。
下面以8载波1字节的MAC CE格式对假设一进行举例说明。
例如，各辅小区的初始状态为图3所示，MAC CE格式为图4所示，则基于假设一，各辅小区的转换状态为图5所示。若在图5所示的各辅小区的状态的基础上，MAC CE格式为图6和图7所示，则基于假设一，各辅小区的转换状态为图8所示。
假设二：预留比特位R的值配置为“1”，且相应的C i的取值配置为“1”，指示将相应的辅小区按照预设转换顺序由当前状态转换至下一个状态；或者， 预留比特位R的值配置为“1”，且相应的C i的取值配置为“0”，指示将相应的辅小区按照预设转换顺序由当前状态转换至下一个状态；等等。
上述假设的技术方案既可以适用于8载波1字节的MAC CE格式，也可以适用于32载波4字节的MAC CE格式，本实施例对此不作限定。
需要说明的是，本实施例并不限于上述假设的技术方案，其它一切可行的技术方案均适用于本实施例。
网络侧配置的状态转换指示信息包括MAC CE，以及指示所述MAC CE长度的L域；所述MAC CE包括至少两个字段，每个字段包含N个比特位，所述N为正整数。其中，所述MAC CE中的每个字段包括M个辅小区序列比特位C i，所述M为正整数，所述i为小于或等于M的整数。
本实施例中，每个字段中C i的值，用于指示所述C i对应的辅小区的状态在所述激活状态、所述去激活状态和所述第三状态中的两个状态之间的转换。
可选的，所述MAC CE中的每个字段还包括预留比特位R，这样，R的值以及C i的值，用于指示所述C i对应的辅小区的状态在所述激活状态、所述去激活状态和所述第三状态中的两个状态之间的转换；
若每个字段中所述R的值符合第一预设条件，且每个字段中所述C i的值符合第二预设条件，则指示将所述C i对应的辅小区的状态转换为所述第三状态；
若每个字段中所述R的值符合第三预设条件，且每个字段中所述C i的值符合第四预设条件，则指示将所述C i对应的辅小区的状态由所述第三状态转换为所述激活状态或所述去激活状态；
若每个字段中所述R的值符合第五预设条件，且每个字段中所述C i的值符合第六预设条件，则指示将所述C i对应的辅小区的状态按照预设转换顺序由当前状态转换至下一状态。
相应地，UE根据所述状态转换指示信息，对辅小区的状态进行转换的步骤，包括：
若所述R的值为第一预设值，则UE将取值为第二预设值的C i对应的辅小区的状态转换为所述第三状态；
若所述R的值为第三预设值，则UE将取值为第四预设值的C i对应的辅 小区的状态由所述第三状态转换为所述激活状态或所述去激活状态；
若所述R的值为第五预设值，则UE将取值为第六预设值的C i对应的辅小区的状态按照预设转换顺序由当前状态转换至下一状态。
例如，MAC CE包括两个字段L1和L2，如图9所示。
假设一：L1和L2中的预留比特位R的值配置均为“1”，且L1和L2中相同位置的C i的取值配置相同，则指示将相应的辅小区转换到第三状态，其他辅小区的状态不变；或者，L1和L2中的预留比特位R的值配置均为“1”，且L1和L2中相同位置的C i的取值配置不相同，则指示将相应的辅小区转换到第三状态，其他辅小区的状态不变。
L1和L2中的预留比特位R的值配置分别为“1”和“0”，或“0”和“1”，或“0”和“0”，且L1和L2中相同位置的C i的取值配置相同，则指示将相应的辅小区离开第三状态，其他辅小区的状态不变；或者，L1和L2中的预留比特位R的值配置分别为“1”和“0”，或“0”和“1”，或“0”和“0”，且L1和L2中相同位置的C i的取值配置不相同，则指示将相应的辅小区离开第三状态，其他辅小区的状态不变。
对于将相应的辅小区离开第三状态，是由第三状态转换到激活状态，还是由第三状态转换到去激活状态，可以通过网络侧设备配置legacy MAC CE进行指示。利用legacy MAC CE指示激活状态与去激活状态，可以通过相关技术得以实现，因此，本实施例对此不作具体描述。
假设二：L1和L2中的预留比特位R的值配置均为“1”，且L1和L2中相同位置的C i的取值配置相同，则指示将相应的辅小区按照预设转换顺序由当前状态转换至下一个状态；或者，L1和L2中的预留比特位R的值配置均为“1”，且L1和L2中相同位置的C i的取值配置不相同，则指示将相应的辅小区按照预设转换顺序由当前状态转换至下一个状态。
L1和L2中的预留比特位R的值配置分别为“1”和“0”，或“0”和“1”，或“0”和“0”，且L1和L2中相同位置的C i的取值配置相同，则指示将相应的辅小区按照预设转换顺序由当前状态转换至下一个状态；或者，L1和L2中的预留比特位R的值配置分别为“1”和“0”，或“0”和“1”，或“0”和“0”，且L1和L2中相同位置的C i的取值配置不相同，则指示将相应的辅 小区按照预设转换顺序由当前状态转换至下一个状态。
上述假设的技术方案既可以适用于8载波1字节的MAC CE格式，也可以适用于32载波4字节的MAC CE格式，本实施例对此不作限定。
需要说明的是，本实施例并不限于上述假设的技术方案，其它一切可行的技术方案均适用于本实施例。
网络侧配置的状态转换指示信息包括逻辑信道标识(Logical Channel Identify，LCID)和N个比特位的第一MAC CE，所述N为正整数。其中，所述第一MAC CE包括M个辅小区序列比特位C i，所述M为小于或等于所述N的正整数，所述i为小于或等于M的整数。
本实施例中，LCID的值以及C i的值，用于指示所述C i对应的辅小区的状态在所述激活状态、所述去激活状态和所述第三状态中的两个状态之间的转换。
可选的，若所述LCID的值为第一预设值，则指示将取值为第二预设值的C i对应的辅小区的状态转换为所述第三状态；
若所述LCID的值为第三预设值，则指示将取值为第四预设值的C i对应的辅小区的状态离开所述第三状态；
若所述LCID的值为第五预设值，则指示将取值为第六预设值的C i对应的辅小区的状态按照预设转换顺序由当前状态转换至下一状态。
进一步的，所述状态转换指示信息还包括第二MAC CE；
所述第二MAC CE，用于指示辅小区的状态由所述第三状态转换为所述激活状态或所述去激活状态。
相应地，UE根据所述状态转换指示信息，对辅小区的状态进行转换的步骤，包括：
若所述LCID的值为第一预设值，则将取值为第二预设值的C i对应的辅小区的状态转换为所述第三状态；
若所述LCID的值为第三预设值，则将取值为第四预设值的C i对应的辅小区的状态离开所述第三状态；
若所述LCID的值为第五预设值，则将取值为第六预设值的C i对应的辅小区的状态按照预设转换顺序由当前状态转换至下一状态。
进一步的，UE根据第二MAC CE，对辅小区的状态由所述第三状态转换为所述激活状态或所述去激活状态。
本实施例中，LCID可以为表1中所示。

假设三：LCID的值配置为“xxxxx”或者“xxxxxx”，且第一MAC CE中C i的取值配置为“1”，指示将相应的辅小区转换到第三状态，其他辅小区的状态不变；LCID的值配置为“yyyyy”或者“yyyyyy”，且第一MAC CE中C i的取值配置为“0”，指示将相应的辅小区离开第三状态，其他辅小区的状态不变。
假设四：LCID的值配置为“xxxxx”或者“xxxxxx”，且第一MAC CE中C i的取值配置为“0”，指示将相应的辅小区转换到第三状态，其他辅小区的状态不变；LCID的值配置为“yyyyy”或者“yyyyyy”，且第一MAC CE中C i的取值配置为“1”，指示将相应的辅小区离开第三状态，其他辅小区的状态不变。
上述假设中，对于将相应的辅小区离开第三状态，是由第三状态转换到激活状态，还是由第三状态转换到去激活状态，可以通过网络侧设备配置第 二MAC CE进行指示。利用第二MAC CE指示激活状态与去激活状态，可以通过相关技术得以实现，因此，本实施例对此不作具体描述。
假设五：LCID的值配置为“xxxxx”或者“xxxxxx”或者“yyyyy”或者“yyyyyy”，且第一MAC CE中C i的取值配置为“1”，指示将相应的辅小区按照预设转换顺序由当前状态转换至下一个状态。

本实施例中，所述LCID的值以及所述C i的值，用于指示所述C i对应的辅小区的状态在所述激活状态、所述去激活状态和所述第三状态中的两个状态之间的转换。
可选的，若所述LCID的值为第一预设值，则指示将取值为第二预设值的C i对应的处于所述第三状态的辅小区的状态转换为所述激活状态；
若所述LCID的值为第三预设值，则指示将取值为第四预设值的C i对应的处于所述第三状态的辅小区的状态转换为所述去激活状态；
若所述LCID的值为第五预设值，则指示将取值为第六预设值的C i对应的处于所述第三状态的辅小区的状态按照预设转换顺序转换至下一状态。
相应地，UE根据所述状态转换指示信息，对辅小区的状态进行转换的步骤，包括：

若所述LCID的值为第五预设值，则UE将取值为第六预设值的C i对应的处于所述第三状态的辅小区的状态按照预设转换顺序转换至下一状态。
本实施例中，LCID也可以为表1中所示。
本实施例与实施例三的不同之处在于，当LCID指示离开第三状态时，其后的MAC CE仅对当前是第三状态的辅小区有效。
假设一：LCID的值配置为“yyyyy”或者“yyyyyy”，且MAC CE中处于第三状态的C i为“1”，指示将相应的辅小区由第三状态转换为激活状态；LCID的值配置为“yyyyy”或者“yyyyyy”，且MAC CE中处于第三状态的C i为“0”，指示将相应的辅小区由第三状态转换为去激活状态；忽略非第三状态的辅小区对应的C i。

假设三：LCID的值配置为“xxxxx”或者“xxxxxx”或者“yyyyy”或者“yyyyyy”，且MAC CE中C i的取值配置为“0”，指示将相应的辅小区按照预设转换顺序由当前状态转换至下一个状态。

UE1000还可以包括给各个部件供电的电源1011(比如电池)，可选的，电源1011可以通过电源管理系统与处理器1010逻辑相连，从而通过电源管理系统实现管理充电、放电、以及功耗管理等功能。
另外，UE1000包括一些未示出的功能模块，在此不再赘述。
可选的，本公开实施例还提供一种UE，包括处理器1010，存储器1009，存储在存储器1009上并可在所述处理器1010上运行的计算机程序，该计算机程序被处理器1010执行时实现上述辅小区状态的指示方法实施例的各个过程，且能达到相同的技术效果，为避免重复，这里不再赘述。
本公开实施例还提供一种计算机可读存储介质，计算机可读存储介质上存储有计算机程序，该计算机程序被处理器执行时实现上述辅小区状态的指示方法实施例的各个过程，且能达到相同的技术效果，为避免重复，这里不再赘述。其中，所述的计算机可读存储介质，如只读存储器(Read-Only Memory，ROM)、随机存取存储器(Random Access Memory，RAM)、磁碟或者光盘等。
需要说明的是，在本文中，术语“包括”、“包含”或者其任何其他变体意在涵盖非排他性的包含，从而使得包括一系列要素的过程、方法、物品或者装置不仅包括那些要素，而且还包括没有明确列出的其他要素，或者是还包括为这种过程、方法、物品或者装置所固有的要素。在没有更多限制的情况下，由语句“包括一个……”限定的要素，并不排除在包括该要素的过程、方法、物品或者装置中还存在另外的相同要素。
通过以上的实施方式的描述，本领域的技术人员可以清楚地了解到上述实施例方法可借助软件加必需的通用硬件平台的方式来实现，当然也可以通过硬件，但很多情况下前者是更佳的实施方式。基于这样的理解，本公开的技术方案本质上或者说对相关技术做出贡献的部分可以以软件产品的形式体现出来，该计算机软件产品存储在一个存储介质(如ROM/RAM、磁碟、光盘)中，包括若干指令用以使得一台UE(可以是手机，计算机，服务器，空 调器，或者网络设备等)执行本公开各个实施例所述的方法。
以上所述，仅为本公开的具体实施方式，但本公开的保护范围并不局限于此，任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本公开揭露的技术范围内，可轻易想到变化或替换，都应涵盖在本公开的保护范围之内。因此，本公开的保护范围应以权利要求的保护范围为准。
