Description

通信方法与设备
本申请要求于2018年09月20日提交中国专利局、申请号为201811103447.6、申请名称为“通信方法与设备”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
本申请涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种通信方法与设备。
背景技术
在通信技术领域,降低终端的功耗有助于提高终端的续航能力,从而提高用户的体验。现有技术中,主要通过网络设备为处于连接态、空闲态及非激活态(inactive)态的终端配置非连续接收(Discontinuous Reception,简称DRX)机制,以降低终端的功耗。
目前,在DRX机制中,终端功率节省信号(user power saving signal,简称UPSS)主要有两种类型,这两种类型的信号分别为唤醒信号(Wakeup Signal,简称WUS)和休眠信号(Go-to-sleep Signal,简称GTS)。具体在发送UPSS信号时,当终端处于空闲态时,可以在寻呼时刻之前发送UPSS信号,以使终端监测PDCCH或进行休眠(此处的休眠可以理解为不监测PDCCH);或者利用现有寻呼DCI实现UPSS指示,以使终端接收PDSCH或休眠(此处的休眠可以理解为不接收PDSCH)。当终端处于连接态、且配置了DRX时,可以在On-Duration之前发送,也可以在On-Duration期间发送,同样可以使得终端进入唤醒或者休眠。其中,On-Duration是指终端唤醒后等待接收(Physical downlink control channel,简称PDCCH)消息的时间段。
因此,采用现有的通信方式,使得终端一直处于使用终端功率节省机制的状态,但实际上对于终端而言,无需一直使用该终端功率节省机制,从而使得终端使用UPSS信号的灵活性不高。

具体实施方式
下面将结合附图,对本申请中的技术方案进行描述。
应理解,本发明实施例的技术方案可以应用于长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)架构,还可以应用于通用移动通信系统(Universal Mobile Telecommunications System,UMTS)陆地无线接入网(UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network,UTRAN)架构,或者全球移动通信系统(Global System for Mobile Communication,GSM)/增强型数据速率GSM演进(Enhanced Data Rate for GSM Evolution,EDGE)系统的无线接入网(GSM EDGE Radio Access Network,GERAN)架构。在UTRAN架构或/GERAN架构中,MME的功能由服务通用分组无线业务(General Packet Radio Service,GPRS)支持节点(Serving GPRS Support,SGSN)完成,SGW\PGW的功能由网关GPRS支持节点(Gateway GPRS Support Node,GGSN)完成。本发明实施例的技术方案还可以应用于其他通信系统,例如公共陆地移动网络(Public Land Mobile Network,PLMN)系统,甚至未来的5G通信系统或5G之后的通信系统等,本发明实施例对此不作限定。
本发明实施例涉及终端。终端可以为包含无线收发功能、且可以与网络设备配合为用户提供通讯服务的设备。具体地,终端可以指用户设备(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、终端设 备、无线通信设备、用户代理或用户装置。例如,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网络或5G之后的网络中的终端等,本发明实施例对此不作限定。
本发明实施例还涉及网络设备。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网络或5G之后的网络中的网络侧设备或未来演进的PLMN网络中的网络设备等。
本发明实施例中涉及的网络设备也可称为无线接入网(Radio Access Network,RAN)设备。RAN设备与终端设备连接,用于接收终端设备的数据并发送给核心网设备。RAN设备在不同通信系统中对应不同的设备,例如,在2G系统中对应基站与基站控制器,在3G系统中对应基站与无线网络控制器(Radio Network Controller,RNC),在4G系统中对应演进型基站(Evolutional Node B,eNB),在5G系统中对应5G系统,如新无线接入系统(New Radio Access Technology,NR)中的接入网设备(例如gNB,CU,DU)。
图1为本发明实施例的系统架构示意图,该通信系统可以包括网络设备101和至少一个终端102,网络设备101可以与终端102进行信息交互。网络设备101可以通过向终端102发送UPSS信号,使得终端102在接收到该UPSS信号之后,根据该UPSS信号监测物理下行控制信道(Physical downlink control channel,PDCCH)或进行休眠,但这样会导致终端102一直处于使用UE功率节省机制的状态,从而使得终端102使用UPSS信号的灵活性不高,为了提高终端使用UPSS信号的灵活性,本申请实施例提供了一种通信方法,网络设备在确定满足使能条件时,向终端发送配置信息;使得终端在接收到该配置信息之后,激活配置;网络设备在确定终端已激活配置之后,向终端发送指示信息,使得终端可以根据是否接收到网络设备发送的指示信息,确定是否监测物理下行控制信道PDCCH、或监测PDCCH、或不监测PDCCH;或者,确定是否接收物理下行共享信道PDSCH、或接收PDSCH、或不接收PDSCH。与现有技术相比,终端不是一直处于使用UE功率节省机制的状态,而是网络设备在确定满足使能条件时,向终端发送配置信息,使得终端在接收到配置信息之后,才激活配置,并根据是否接收到网络设备发送的指示信息,确定是否监测物理下行控制信道PDCCH、或监测PDCCH、或不监测PDCCH;或者,确定是否接收物理下行共享信道PDSCH、或接收PDSCH、或不接收PDSCH,从而提高了终端使用指示信息(例如UPSS)的灵活性。
在描述本申请实施例之前,先解释几个本申请中涉及的概念。其中,配置信息可以为UPSS配置信息,当配置信息为UPSS配置信息时,该UPSS配置信息可以包括UPSS的类型,UPSS的形式或UPSS的接收位置中的至少一个;对应的,网络设备向终端发送的指示信息可以为UPSS。下面将以配置信息为UPSS配置信息为例,结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述。
图2为本发明实施例提供的一种通信方法的示意性流程图。图2中描述的网络设备可 以对应于图1中所示的网络设备101,图2中描述的终端可以对应于图1中所示的终端102。示例的,请参见图2所示,该通信方法可以包括:
S201、网络设备在满足使能条件时,向终端发送UPSS配置信息。
其中,UPSS配置信息可以包括UPSS的类型,UPSS的形式或UPSS的接收位置中的至少一个。换句话说,UPSS配置信息可以只包括UPSS的类型,UPSS的形式或UPSS的接收位置中的任意一个,也可以包括UPSS的类型,UPSS的形式或UPSS的接收位置中的任意两个,当然,也可以UPSS的类型,UPSS的形式及UPSS的接收位置这三个均包括。进一步地,UPSS的类型可以为WUS或者GTS;UPSS的形式可以理解为UPSS采用的信息指示方式,例如,可采用特定的物理层信号或现有的物理信号(例如DCI)来表示UPSS,或者采用某个特定或现有的MAC CE中一个比特的“1”或“0”来分别对应一个UPSS的“有”和“无”,或者采用某个特定或现有的MAC CE中一个比特的“0”或“1”来分别对应一个UPSS的“有”和“无”;UPSS的接收位置可以理解为用于指示终端检测其对应UPSS的时频资源和/或采用的加扰码(或解扰码)。
需要说明的是,在本申请实施例中,网络设备在向终端发送UPSS配置信息时,不是一直向终端发送该UPSS配置信息,而是网络设备在满足使能条件时,才向终端发送该UPSS配置信息。可选的,网络设备确定满足使能条件可以包括若网络设备接收到终端发送的配置请求,则可以确定网络设备满足使能条件;和/或,在业务特性满足预设条件时,则可以确定网络设备满足使能条件;其中,业务特性包括业务的发送频率和/或业务所产生的终端功耗。
详细来说,网络设备可以通过至少三种可能的方式确定满足使能条件,在方式1中,网络设备接收到终端发送的配置请求,即网络设备只要接收到终端发送的配置请求,就表示满足使能条件,则网络设备可以向终端发送UPSS配置信息,这样可以使得信号的使能满足终端的当前状态,例如满足终端动态的省电需求;在方式2中,网络设备在确定业务特征满足预设条件,该预设条件可以理解为业务的发送频率满足一定的阈值条件,例如大于或者等于第一阈值,和/或小于或等于第二阈值,和/或业务所产生的终端功耗大于或等于第三阈值,即网络设备只要确定业务特征满足预设条件,就表示满足使能条件,则网络设备可以向终端发送UPSS配置信息,这样可以使得信号的使能满足业务的特征和/或网络的当前负载情况;其中,第一阈值、第二阈值和第三阈值具体可以根据实际需要进行设置,在此本申请实施例不做具体限制;在方式3中,可以同时考虑上述方式1和方式2,即网络设备接收到终端发送的配置请求,且业务特征满足预设条件,即网络设备确定接收到终端发送的配置请求,且确定业务特征满足预设条件,则网络设备可以向终端发送UPSS配置信息,这样可以使得信号的使能同时满足终端的当前状态,业务的特征和/或网络的当前负载情况。当然,网络设备在确定满足使能条件时,只是以这三种可能的方式为例进行说明,但并不代表本申请实施例仅局限于此。
网络设备在通过上述3种可能的方式确定满足使能条件后,就可以向终端发送UPSS配置信息,可选的,该UPSS配置信息可以承载于随机接入响应(Random access response,RAR)消息、消息MSG4、无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)连接建立消息、RRC连接恢复消息或RRC连接重配消息中的任一种。即该UPSS配置信息可以承载在RAR消息中发送给终端,也可以承载在消息MSG4中发送给终端,也可以承载在RRC连接建 立消息中发送给终端,也可以承载在RRC连接恢复消息中发送给终端,当然,也可以承载在RRC连接重配消息中发送给终端,以使终端通过该随机接入响应RAR消息、消息MSG4、无线资源控制RRC连接建立消息、RRC连接恢复消息或RRC连接重配消息获取到该配置信息;当然,本申请实施例只是以UPSS配置信息可以承载在这五种消息中为例进行说明,具体可以根据实际需要进行设置,在此,本申请实施例不做进一步限制。
需要说明的是,网络设备在将UPSS配置信息承载在上述五种消息中发送给终端之前,若确定接收到终端发送的配置请求,则可以将UPSS配置信息承载在上述五种消息中发送给终端。可选的,网络设备在接收终端发送的配置请求时,终端可以将该配置请求可以承载于消息MSG1、消息MSG3、无线资源控制RRC连接建立请求消息或RRC连接恢复请求消息中的任一种,即该配置请求可以承载在消息MSG1中发送给网络设备,也可以承载在消息MSG3中发送给网络设备,也可以承载在无线资源控制RRC连接建立请求消息中发送给网络设备,当然,也可以承载在RRC连接恢复请求消息中发送给网络设备。示例的,当终端将配置请求承载在消息MSG1中发送给网络设备时,对应的,网络设备在接收到配置请求后,将UPSS配置信息承载在随机接入响应RAR消息中发送给终端;当终端将配置请求承载在消息MSG3中发送给网络设备时,对应的,网络设备在接收到配置请求后,将UPSS配置信息承载在消息MSG4中发送给终端;当终端将配置请求承载在无线资源控制RRC连接建立请求消息中发送给网络设备时,对应的,网络设备在接收到配置请求后,将UPSS配置信息承载在无线资源控制RRC连接建立消息中发送给终端;当终端将配置请求承载在RRC连接恢复请求消息中发送给网络设备时,对应的,网络设备在接收到配置请求后,将UPSS配置信息承载在RRC连接恢复消息中发送给终端。
网络设备在确定满足使能条件时,可以向终端发送UPSS配置信息,使得终端在接收到该UPSS配置信息之后,执行下述S202:
S202、终端激活UPSS配置。
终端在接收到网络设备发送的UPSS配置信息后,可以根据该UPSS配置信息激活UPSS配置。示例的,可选的,终端在激活UPSS配置时,可以通过至少四种可能的方式激活UPSS配置。该四种可能的方式分别为:方式1、终端接收到UPSS配置信息后立即激活;方式2、终端接收到UPSS配置信息后间隔预设时长激活;方式3、周期性激活;及方式4、接收到网络设备发送的配置激活指示激活。其中,方式1终端接收到UPSS配置信息后立即激活可以理解为只要终端接收到网络设备发送的UPSS配置信息,则终端激活UPSS配置;方式2终端接收到UPSS配置信息后间隔预设时长激活可以理解为终端接收到网络设备发送的UPSS配置信息后,开启或重启计时器,当计时器超时时,则终端激活UPSS配置,其中,预设时长可以根据实际需要进行设置;方式3周期性激活可以理解为终端接收到UPSS配置信息后,以T为周期,间歇性地激活,每个周期T内UPSS配置激活的时长为t。其中,某一时长t可以通过设置该时长t的起始点和终点实现,示例的,周期T可以为120S,当然,也可以为130S,具体可以根据实际需要进行设置;方式4接收到网络设备发送的配置激活指示激活可以理解为终端在接收到UPSS配置信息后,不激活UPSS配置,而是在接收到配置激活指示后才激活UPSS配置(S301),示例的,请参见图3所示,图3为本发明实施例提供的另一种通信方法的示意性流程图。需要说明的是,在本申请实施例中,还可以同时结合上述方式2终端接收到UPSS配置信息后间隔预设时长 激活和方式4接收到网络设备发送的配置激活指示激活这两种方式确定激活UPSS配置。示例的,终端可以先判断是否接收到配置激活指示,或者终端接收到UPSS配置信息后的时长是否到达预设时长,终端一旦接收到网络设备发送的配置激活指示,或者,终端接收到UPSS配置信息后的时长一旦到达预设时长,则终端激活UPSS配置。即一旦接收到网络设备发送的配置激活指示就可以激活UPSS配置,而无需再判断终端接收到UPSS配置信息后的时长是否到达预设时长;或者一旦确定终端接收到UPSS配置信息后的时长到达预设时长就可以激活UPSS配置,同样无需再判断是否接收到网络设备发送的配置激活指示。
通过上述描述,可以获知终端在接收到UPSS配置信息之后,可以根据上述可能的方式激活UPSS配置,那么终端如何确定采用上述方式1终端接收到UPSS配置信息后立即激活、上述方式2终端接收到UPSS配置信息后间隔预设时长激活,及上述方式3周期性激活这三种可能的方式中哪一种激活方式激活UPSS配置,是本申请实施例又一个重要问题。可选的,在本申请实施例中,终端可以通过下述三种可能的实现方式确定根据哪一种激活方式激活UPSS配置。
在一种可能的实现方式中,网络设备在向终端发送UPSS配置信息时,该UPSS配置信息中可以包括配置的激活方式,以使终端可以获取到配置的激活方式,这样终端在接收到该UPSS配置信息后,可以根据该UPSS配置信息中包括的配置的激活方式,激活UPSS配置。该配置的激活方式可以为终端接收到UPSS配置信息后立即激活、终端接收到UPSS配置信息后间隔预设时长激活及周期性激活中的任一种。示例的,当UPSS配置信息中包括的配置的激活方式为终端接收到UPSS配置信息后立即激活时,则终端在接收到该UPSS配置信息时,立即激活UPSS配置;当UPSS配置信息中包括的配置的激活方式为终端接收到UPSS配置信息后间隔预设时长激活时,则终端在接收到该UPSS配置信息时,启动或重启计时器,当计时器超时时,激活UPSS配置;当UPSS配置信息中包括的配置的激活方式为周期性激活时,则终端在接收到该UPSS配置信息时,以T为周期,间歇性地激活,每个周期T内UPSS配置激活的时长为t。
在第二种可能的实现方式中,终端在向网络设备发送配置请求时,可以在配置请求中包括配置的激活方式,以使网络设备确认终端是否可以使用该配置的激活方式,网络设备在接收到该配置请求后,可以根据该配置的激活方式、或者根据该配置的激活方式和其它信息(例如网络可用资源的状况)确定目标激活方式,该目标激活方式可以与配置请求中的配置的激活方式一致,也可以与配置请求中的配置的激活方式不一致;网络设备在确定目标激活方式后,向终端发送UPSS配置信息,若目标激活方式与配置请求中的配置的激活方式一致,该UPSS配置信息中可以包括该目标激活方式,使得终端在接收到UPSS配置信息后,根据UPSS配置信息中包括的目标激活方式激活UPSS配置;当然,该UPSS配置信息中也可以不包括该目标激活方式,当不包括目标激活方式时,终端在接收到该UPSS配置信息后,确认网络设备默认可以使用配置请求中包括的配置的激活方式,则终端可以根据配置请求中包括的配置的激活方式激活UPSS配置;相反的,若目标激活方式与配置请求中的配置的激活方式不一致,则该UPSS配置信息中需要包括该目标激活方式,使得终端在接收到该UPSS配置信息后,根据该UPSS配置信息中包括的目标激活方式激活UPSS配置。
在第三种可能的实现方式中,网络设备可以预先设置终端配置的激活方式,这样终端在接收到网络设备发送的UPSS配置信息之后,可以直接根据预先设置的激活方式激活UPSS配置。示例的,当预先设置的配置的激活方式为终端接收到UPSS配置信息后立即激活时,则终端在接收到该UPSS配置信息时,立即激活UPSS配置;当预先设置的配置的激活方式为终端接收到UPSS配置信息后间隔预设时长激活时,则终端在接收到该UPSS配置信息时,启动或重启计时器,当计时器超时时,激活UPSS配置;当预先设置的配置的激活方式为周期性激活时,则终端在接收到该UPSS配置信息时,以T为周期,间歇性地激活,每个周期T内UPSS配置激活的时长为t。
需要说明的是,终端在通过上述几种可能的实现方式激活UPSS配置时,由于终端采用的配置的激活方式是由网络设备发送给终端的,或者是终端采用的配置的激活方式经过网络设备审核确认的,又或者,终端采用的配置的激活方式是网络设备预先为终端设置的,因此,对网络设备而言,在向终端发送UPSS配置信息之后,其可以获知终端采用哪种方式激活UPSS配置,因此,终端在激活UPSS配置后,网络设备同样根据终端采用的配置的激活方式确定终端是否已经激活UPSS配置,在确定终端已经激活UPSS配置之后,执行下述S203:
S203、网络设备向终端发送UPSS。
其中,当指示信息为唤醒信号WUS时,指示信息用于指示终端是否监测PDCCH,或者指示终端监测PDCCH,或者,用于指示终端是否接收PDSCH,或者指示终端接收PDSCH;或者,当指示信息为休眠信号GTS时,指示信息用于指示终端是否监测PDCCH,或者指示终端不监测PDCCH,或者,用于指示终端是否接收PDSCH,或者指示终端不接收PDSCH。
需要说明的是,在该步骤中,网络设备在向终端发送UPSS时,不是一直向终端发送UPSS,而是根据业务的到达情况、业务时延要求或UE功率节省策略等来决定是否发送UPSS,在确定向终端发送UPSS时,对应的,终端可以执行下述S204:
S204、终端根据是否接收到网络设备发送的UPSS,确定是否监测物理下行控制信道PDCCH、或监测PDCCH、或不监测PDCCH;或者,确定是否接收物理下行共享信道PDSCH、或接收PDSCH、或不接收PDSCH。
网络设备通过S203向终端发送UPSS之后,对应的,终端需要判断其是否接收到网络设备发送的UPSS,从而确定是否监测物理下行控制信道PDCCH、或监测PDCCH、或不监测PDCCH;或者,确定是否接收物理下行共享信道PDSCH、或接收PDSCH、或不接收PDSCH。
由此可见,本申请实施例提供的通信方法,网络设备在确定满足使能条件时,向终端发送UPSS配置信息;使得终端在接收到该UPSS配置信息之后,激活UPSS配置;网络设备在确定终端已激活UPSS配置之后,可以根据业务到达情况、业务时延要求或UE功率节省策略等来决定是否向终端发送UPSS,对应的,终端可以根据是否接收到网络设备发送的UPSS,确定是否监测物理下行控制信道PDCCH、或监测PDCCH、或不监测PDCCH;或者,确定是否接收物理下行共享信道PDSCH、或接收PDSCH、或不接收PDSCH。与现有技术相比,终端不是一直处于使用UE功率节省机制的状态,而是网络设备在确定满足使能条件时,向终端发送UPSS配置信息,使得终端在接收到UPSS配置信息之后,才激活UPSS配置,并根据是否接收到网络设备发送的UPSS,确定是否监测物理下行控制信 道PDCCH、或监测PDCCH、或不监测PDCCH;或者,确定是否接收物理下行共享信道PDSCH、或接收PDSCH、或不接收PDSCH,从而提高了终端使用UPSS的灵活性。
需要说明的是,在上述图2所示的实施例中,网络设备在确定终端激活UPSS配置之后,在有需要时直接执行S203向终端发送UPSS。当然,网络设备在确定终端激活UPSS配置之后,也可以先不向终端发送UPSS,而是通过终端触发,即在接收到终端发送的信号请求之后,再向终端发送该UPSS,即在执行完上述S202之后,还可以包括下述S401,示例的,请参见图4所示,图4为本发明实施例提供的又一种通信方法的示意性流程图。
S401、终端向网络设备发送信号请求。
其中,信号请求用于指示网络设备发送UPSS。
终端在激活UPSS配置之后,可以向网络设备发送信号请求,以请求网络设备发送UPSS;对应的,网络设备在接收到该信号请求之后,就可以向终端发送该UPSS,同时终端可以判断是否接收到网络设备发送的UPSS,从而确定是否监测物理下行控制信道PDCCH、或监测PDCCH、或不监测PDCCH;或者,确定是否接收物理下行共享信道PDSCH、或接收PDSCH,或不接收PDSCH。

当该信号的通信装置为终端设备时,图9示出了一种简化的终端设备的结构示意图。便于理解和图示方便,图9中,终端设备以手机作为例子。如图9所示,终端设备包括处理器、存储器、射频电路、天线以及输入输出装置。处理器主要用于对通信协议以及通信数据进行处理,以及对终端设备进行控制,执行软件程序,处理软件程序的数据等。存储器主要用于存储软件程序和数据。射频电路主要用于基带信号与射频信号的转换以及对射频信号的处理。天线主要用于收发电磁波形式的射频信号。输入输出装置,例如触摸屏、显示屏,键盘等主要用于接收用户输入的数据以及对用户输出数据。需要说明的是,有些种类的终端设备可以不具有输入输出装置。
当需要发送数据时,处理器对待发送的数据进行基带处理后,输出基带信号至射频电路,射频电路将基带信号进行射频处理后将射频信号通过天线以电磁波的形式向外发送。当有数据发送到终端设备时,射频电路通过天线接收到射频信号,将射频信号转换为基带信号,并将基带信号输出至处理器,处理器将基带信号转换为数据并对该数据进行处理。为便于说明,图9中仅示出了一个存储器和处理器。在实际的终端设备产品中,可以存在一个或多个处理器和一个或多个存储器。存储器也可以称为存储介质或者存储设备等。存储器可以是独立于处理器设置,也可以是与处理器集成在一起,本申请实施例对此不做限制。
在本申请实施例中,可以将具有收发功能的天线和射频电路视为终端设备的收发单元,将具有处理功能的处理器视为终端设备的处理单元。如图9所示,终端设备包括收发单元910和处理单元920。收发单元也可以称为收发器、收发机、收发装置等。处理单元也可以称为处理器,处理单板,处理模块、处理装置等。可选的,可以将收发单元910中用于实现接收功能的器件视为接收单元,将收发单元910中用于实现发送功能的器件视为发送单元,即收发单元910包括接收单元和发送单元。收发单元有时也可以称为收发机、收发器、或收发电路等。接收单元有时也可以称为接收机、接收器、或接收电路等。发送单元有时也可以称为发射机、发射器或者发射电路等。
