In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages to be solved by the present disclosure more clear, the following will describe in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a network structure applicable to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, it includes a terminal 11 and a network-side device 12, wherein the terminal 11 may be a user terminal (User Equipment, UE) or other Terminal equipment, such as mobile phones, tablet computers (Tablet Personal Computer), laptop computers (Laptop Computer), personal digital assistants (personal digital assistants, PDAs for short), mobile Internet devices (Mobile Internet Devices (MID) or wearable Devices such as wearable devices (terminals), it should be noted that, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the specific types of terminals are not limited. The network-side device 12 refers to a base station or other device that directly controls the terminal on the network side. Specifically, the network side device 12 may be a base station, such as a macro station, LTE eNB, 5G NR, etc.; the network side device may also be a small station, such as a low power node (LPN: low power node), pico, femto, etc. A station, or a network-side device, can be an access point (AP, access point); a base station can also be a central unit (CU, central unit) and its management is composed of multiple transmission and reception points (TRP, Transmission Reception Point) managed and controlled Network node. It should be noted that, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the specific type of the network side device is not limited.

Please refer to FIG. 2, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a DRX transmission method, which is applied to a terminal. As shown in FIG. 2, the above DRX transmission method includes:

Step 201: Receive the indication information sent by the network side device in the Nth DRX cycle. The indication information is used to indicate the DRX parameter configuration of the Mth DRX cycle, where N and M are positive integers, and M is greater than or equal to (N+ 1).

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal may receive the indication information sent by the network side device in the Nth DRX cycle, so that the network side device uses the indication information to implement DRX parameter configuration instructing the terminal in the Mth DRX cycle to increase the DRX The configuration method improves the configuration flexibility of DRX.

Among them, the terminal can perform DRX operation according to the DRX parameter configuration in the Mth DRX cycle, that is, the above DRX parameter configuration can be any parameter configuration used to instruct the terminal to perform DRX operation in the Mth cycle. Optionally, the DRX parameter configuration includes At least one of the starting position indication, the DRX parameter modification indication, the DRX parameter information, etc., so that the configuration of the DRX is more flexible.

In a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, the above DRX parameter configuration includes at least one of a starting position indication, a DRX parameter modification indication, and DRX parameter information, that is, the DRX parameter configuration may include but is not limited to the following multiple ways:

Method 1: DRX parameter configuration is only the indication of the starting position;

The above starting position indication may be used to indicate that the Mth DRX cycle is the starting position where the terminal monitors the downlink control channel (Physical Downlink Control Channel, PDCCH) after the Nth cycle, that is, from the Nth DRX cycle to the Stop monitoring the PDCCH between M DRX cycles, and start monitoring the PDCCH in the Mth cycle.

Optionally, when the DRX parameter configuration includes a starting position indication and M is greater than (N+1), after receiving the indication information sent by the network side device in the Nth DRX cycle, the method further includes: according to the starting position indication, Stop monitoring the PDCCH from the Nth DRX cycle to the Mth DRX cycle, and turn on the monitoring PDCCH during the Mth DRX cycle, so that when there is no need to monitor the PDCCH from the Nth DRX cycle to the Mth DRX cycle In this case, the terminal may skip at least one DRX cycle to monitor the PDCCH, so as to reduce the power consumption of the terminal.

For example, in the case that the terminal is configured with DRX parameters, if no new data arrives, the terminal will periodically and continuously monitor the PDCCH according to the current DRX parameters, and if the DRX cycle (ie DRX cycle) configuration in the current DRX parameters is shorter , And the service data processed by the terminal has a long arrival interval, such as web browsing, etc. In the Nth DRX cycle, the network-side device may indicate the (N+2)th DRX cycle or the (N+2)th through the above indication information The DRX cycle after the DRX cycle enables the terminal to stop monitoring the PDCCH in at least one DRX cycle, thereby reducing unnecessary power consumption and realizing power saving of the terminal.

Method 2: DRX parameter configuration is only an instruction for DRX parameter modification;

The above DRX parameter modification instruction is used to instruct the terminal to determine whether to modify the DRX parameter of the Mth DRX cycle.

Optionally, when the DRX parameter configuration includes the DRX parameter modification indication, after receiving the indication information sent by the network side device in the Nth DRX cycle, it further includes: determining whether to modify the Mth DRX cycle according to the DRX parameter modification indication DRX parameters, so that the terminal can update the DRX parameters according to the DRX parameter modification instructions, improving the timeliness of the terminal to update the DRX parameters.

Exemplarily, if the terminal initiates a new service while browsing the web, such as voice over IP (Voice over Internet Protocol, VoIP), and the currently configured DRX cycle is longer, which does not match the new service, or the terminal When browsing the web, and the terminal's DRX cycle configuration is short, the terminal needs to continuously monitor the PDCCH, then gNB (that is, the network side device) needs to modify the current DRX parameter configuration, then gNB carries the new parameters through MAC CE information (instruction information) The configuration set informs the terminal, allowing the terminal to change the configuration quickly, monitor the PDCCH, and realize a timely response.

It should be noted that, in the case where the above DRX parameter configuration is only an indication of DRX parameter modification, the terminal can obtain a new DRX parameter (set) by de-running RRC signaling, and the new DRX parameter (set) can be determined by the network The side device is configured through RRC signaling.

For example: in the case of DRXconfigIndex (that is, DRX parameter modification indication) = 1, the terminal may obtain new DRX parameters (sets) by deciphering RRC signaling before entering the Mth DRX cycle or before entering the Mth DRX cycle , And perform DRX operation according to the new DRX parameters in the Mth DRX cycle; and in the case of the above DRXconfigIndex=0, the terminal does not modify the DRX parameters of the Mth DRX cycle, and still follows the MDR DRX cycle The original DRX parameters are used for DRX operation.

Method 3: DRX parameter configuration is only DRX parameter information;

The above DRX parameter information is used to carry or indicate a new DRX parameter set in the Mth DRX cycle.

Optionally, when the DRX parameter configuration includes DRX parameter information, after receiving the indication information sent by the network-side device in the N-th DRX cycle, it further includes: according to the DRX parameter information, the DRX parameter set for the M-th DRX cycle Modify it so that the terminal can modify the Mth DRX cycle according to the instruction information. Especially, when M is greater than (N+1), the terminal can modify the (N+2)th DRX cycle according to the instruction information or The DRX parameter set of the DRX cycle after the (N+2)th DRX cycle is modified to make the way of updating the DRX configuration more flexible.

In addition, the DRX parameter set may include at least one of the following parameters:

DRX-onDurationTimer (DRX-onDurationTimer), that is, the duration of continuous monitoring of PDCCH from the DRX cycle;

DRX interval delay (DRX-SlotOffset), that is, the time delay from the start of DRX-onDurationTimer;

DRX-InactivityTimer (DRX-InactivityTimer), that is, the inactivity timer that starts after the PDCCH is received when the PDCCH indicates new uplink (UL) or downlink (DL) data transmission;

DRX downlink retransmission timer (DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL), that is, the maximum duration before downlink retransmission data arrives;

DRX uplink retransmission timer (DRX-RetransmissionTimerUL), that is, the maximum duration before uplink retransmission data arrives;

DRX-LongCycleStartOffset (DRX-LongCycleStartOffset), that is, the location where the long DRX cycle begins;

Long DRX cycle (DRX-LongCycle);

Short DRX cycle (DRX-ShortCycle);

DRX-ShortCycleTimer (DRX-ShortCycleTimer), that is, the total duration of the terminal using a short DRX cycle;

Downlink hybrid automatic retransmission request round-trip time timer (DRX-HARQ-RTT-TimerDL), that is, the Medium Access Control (MAC) entity needs to perform a DL hybrid automatic repeat request (Hybrid automatic repeat terminal st, HARQ ) The minimum duration before retransmission;

The uplink hybrid automatic retransmission request round-trip time timer (DRX-HARQ-RTT-TimerUL), that is, the minimum length before the MAC entity needs to perform UL HARQ retransmission, and so on.

It should be noted that the above DRX parameter information may include a DRX parameter set or some DRX parameters. Optionally, the DRX parameter set of the Mth DRX cycle may be modified according to the DRX parameter information, including: the DRX parameter information includes the DRX parameter In the case of a set, the DRX parameter set of the Mth DRX cycle is modified to the DRX parameter set indicated by the indication information, so that all DRX parameters in the DRX parameter set of the Mth DRX cycle can be modified;

Or, in the case where the DRX parameter information includes some DRX parameters, correspondingly modify some parameters in the DRX parameter set of the M-th DRX cycle to some DRX parameters indicated by the indication information, such as including DRX continuous monitoring duration and DRX inactive timing Part of the DRX parameters, so that it is possible to modify some of the DRX parameters in the DRX parameter set of the Mth DRX cycle.

Of course, the above terminal can be configured with at least two sets of candidate DRX parameter sets, and the terminal can switch between at least two sets of candidate DRX parameter sets in different DRX cycles, for example: In the case of long, at least two sets of candidate DRX parameter sets can be used as the DRX parameter set of the M-th DRX cycle in the DRX parameter set with a long DRX cycle; or, in the case where the data arrival interval of the processed service is short , At least two sets of candidate DRX parameter sets with shorter DRX parameter sets are used as the MRX parameter set of the M-th DRX cycle.

Optionally, the DRX parameter information may include a DRX parameter set index, and the DRX parameter set index is used to indicate a set of DRX parameters in at least two candidate DRX parameter sets configured by the terminal, so that the terminal can index according to the DRX parameter set, Modify the DRX parameter set of the Mth DRX cycle.

Wherein, the terminal may modify the DRX parameter set of the Mth DRX cycle according to the above DRX parameter set index, that is, optionally, the above modification of the DRX parameter set of the Mth DRX cycle according to the DRX parameter information includes: When the parameter information includes the DRX parameter set index, the DRX parameter set of the M-th DRX cycle is modified to the DRX parameter set indicated by the DRX parameter set index, thereby increasing the modification method of the DRX parameter set.

For example, the terminal is configured with candidate DRX parameter set 1, DRX parameter set 2 and DRX parameter set 3. If the above DRX parameter information includes the DRX parameter set index of DRX parameter set 2, the terminal will set the DRX parameter of the Mth DRX cycle Set is changed to DRX parameter set 2.

In addition, the at least two sets of DRX parameter sets configured in the above terminal may be preset or agreed in the terminal in the terminal, or, optionally, the modification of the DRX parameter set of the Mth DRX cycle to the DRX parameter set index is indicated Before the DRX parameter set, it also includes: receiving DRX configuration information sent by the network side device, the DRX configuration information is used to configure at least two sets of DRX parameter sets for the terminal, and the DRX parameter set index is used to indicate any of the at least two sets of DRX parameter sets One set of DRX parameter sets, so that at least two sets of DRX parameter sets can be configured for the terminal through the network side device.

It should be noted that the DRX configuration information may be any one of RRC information, MAC control element (Control Element, CE) information, or downlink control information (Downlink Control Information, DCI), which is not limited herein.

Exemplarily, gNB configures multiple sets of DRX parameter sets for the terminal in advance through RRC signaling, and each set of DRX parameter sets is indicated by DRXconfigIndex. When gNB finds that the current DRX parameter set does not match the service of the terminal, it can tell the terminal the parameter configuration of the next DRX cycle (ie, the Mth DRX cycle) through the DRX parameter set index in MAC CE information (that is, indication information).

From the above, optionally, the above DRX parameter information includes any one of the following:

DRX parameter set;

Some DRX parameters;

DRX parameter set index.

Mode four: DRX parameter configuration includes starting position indication and DRX parameter modification indication;

Here, the indication information can not only instruct the terminal to use the Mth DRX cycle as the starting position indication for monitoring the PDCCH, but also instruct the terminal whether to modify the DRX parameters of the Mth DRX cycle.

Exemplarily, when the current service of the terminal is webpage browsing or background service, its service characteristics are that the delay requirement is small and the data packet interval is large. If the current terminal configuration is configured with four short DRX cycles and long DRX cycles at the same time, after gNB transmits the data packets, gNB can carry the next DRX time information through MAC CE information (that is, indication information) NextDRXCycleIndicator (that is, indicating the M Indication of the start position of each DRX cycle) and DRX parameter modification indication (DRXreconfigflag), indicating that the terminal does not need to perform PDCCH monitoring before the configured time information of the next DRX. At the same time, is there any change in the DRX parameters in the next DRX cycle? If the DRX parameters have not changed, discontinuous PDCCH monitoring is performed according to the current DRX cycle; otherwise, in the next DRX cycle, the terminal needs to read the new DRX parameter configuration.

Among them, NextDRXCycleIndicator may indicate that the next DRX cycle is a few cycles away from the present; DRXreconfigflag indicates whether the gNB is to modify DRX parameters.

For example: in the first DRX cycle (ie, the Nth DRX cycle), gNB sends NextDRXCycleIndicator=3 to the terminal and gNB does not perform DRX parameter configuration modification instruction DRXreconfigflag=0, then the terminal will be in the fourth DRX cycle (that is, the M DRX cycles), that is, a long DRX cycle, PDCCH monitoring is performed, and the subsequent DRX parameter configuration is still the previously configured parameter set. If the gNB received by the terminal modifies the DRX parameter configuration indication DRXreconfigflag=1, then the terminal performs PDCCH monitoring in the fourth DRX cycle, that is, the long DRX cycle, and simultaneously deciphers RRC signaling to obtain a new DRX parameter configuration.

If the terminal receives the indication information sent by gNB within the second DRX cycle (ie, the Nth DRX cycle), where the carried information is NextDRXCycleIndicator=3 and gNB does not perform DRX parameter configuration modification indication DRXreconfigflag=0, then the terminal PDCCH monitoring will be performed in the second long DRX cycle (ie, the Mth DRX cycle), and the subsequent DRX parameter configuration is still the previously configured parameter set.

Method 5: DRX parameter configuration includes DRX parameter modification instructions and DRX parameter information;

Here, the terminal may determine whether to modify the DRX parameters of the Mth DRX cycle according to the DRX parameter modification instruction, and when determining to modify the DRX parameters of the Mth DRX cycle, according to the DRX parameter information, the terminal Modify the DRX parameters.

Exemplarily, if the terminal initiates a new service, such as VoIP, while browsing the webpage, and the currently configured DRX cycle is longer, which does not match the new service, or the terminal is browsing the webpage, and the terminal's DRX cycle configuration is shorter , The terminal needs to constantly monitor the PDCCH, then gNB needs to modify the current DRX parameter configuration, then gNB carries the DRX parameter configuration modification indication DRXreconfigflag and all DRX parameter configurations (ie DRX parameter set) or partial modification parameters through MAC CE information (instruction information) (Ie some DRX parameters).

For example: when gNB finds that the terminal is browsing the web, it initiates new services, such as VoIP, and the currently configured DRX cycle is longer, which does not match the new service. The terminal needs to respond quickly. gNB uses MAC information (that is, indication information) ) Instruct the DRX parameter to change, that is, DRXreconfigflag = 1, and the new DRX parameter configuration set carried in the MAC CE, or some modified parameters, the terminal can obtain the newly configured DRX parameter through the MAC CE, and quickly receive the data;

Or, when gNB finds that the terminal is browsing the web, and the terminal's DRX cycle configuration is short, the terminal needs to continuously monitor the PDCCH, then gNB needs to modify the current DRX parameter configuration, then gNB indicates the DRX parameter through MAC CE information (that is, indication information) Change, that is, DRXreconfigflag=1, the terminal can obtain the reconfiguration information through the RRC layer, so that the DRX parameters can be adjusted. In this case, the MAC does not need to carry a new DRX parameter configuration set or partially modified parameters (that is, the indication information is only Carry DRX parameter indication); after the terminal receives the DRX parameter change indication, if the new DRX parameter configuration set carried in the MAC or some modified parameters, the terminal can also obtain the DRX parameter configuration through the MAC CE.

It should be noted that, in combination with the above manner 2 and manner 3, the above DRX parameter configuration includes DRX parameter modification indication and DRX parameter information, which may be any one of the following:

DRX parameter modification instruction and DRX parameter set;

DRX parameter modification instructions and some DRX parameters;

DRX parameter modification indication and DRX parameter set index.

Method 6: DRX parameter configuration includes starting position indication and DRX parameter information;

Here, the terminal can modify the DRX parameters of the Mth DRX cycle according to the instruction information, and use the Mth DRX cycle as the starting position for monitoring the PDCCH, because the terminal modifies the DRX parameters of the Mth DRX cycle , And the process of using the Mth DRX cycle as the starting position for monitoring the PDCCH, has been described in the above manners 1 and 3, and will not be repeated here.

It should be noted that, in combination with the above manner 1 and manner 3, the above DRX parameter configuration includes a starting position indication and DRX parameter information, which may be any one of the following:

Start position indication and DRX parameter set;

Start position indication and some DRX parameters;

Start position indication and DRX parameter set index.

Mode 7. DRX parameter configuration includes starting position indication, DRX parameter modification indication and DRX parameter information.

Here, according to the instruction information, the terminal may use the Mth DRX cycle as the starting position for monitoring the PDCCH, and determine whether to modify the DRX parameters of the Mth DRX cycle, and determine whether to perform the DRX parameters of the Mth DRX cycle. During the modification, the DRX parameters of the M-th DRX cycle are modified according to the DRX parameter information. For the implementation of this process, refer to Mode 1 to Mode 3, and details are not described here.

It should be noted that, in combination with the above manners 1 to 3, the above DRX parameter configuration includes a starting position indication, a DRX parameter modification indication, and DRX parameter information, which may be any of the following:

Start position indication, DRX parameter modification indication and DRX parameter set;

Start position indication, DRX parameter modification indication and some DRX parameters;

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the above indication information may be information sent by the network-side device to the terminal in any manner. Optionally, the above indication information is MAC CE information or downlink control information DCI, thereby reducing delay.
