Description

一种资源管理方法及装置 技术领域
本申请涉及移动通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种资源管理方法及装置。
背景技术
移动通信已经深刻地改变了人们的生活,但人们对更高性能的移动通信的追求从未停止。为了应对未来爆炸性的移动数据流量增长、海量的设备连接、以及不断涌现的各类新业务和应用场景,5G系统应运而生。物联网作为5G的组成部分,其市场需求增长迅猛,预测显示,到2022年5G物联网的连接数将会达到180亿。
目前第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd generation partnership project,3GPP)标准已经基于蜂窝网络,针对物联网的特点提出了解决方案。例如窄带物联网(narrow band internet of things,NB-IoT)网络和增强机器通信类型(enhanced machine type of communication,eMTC)网络,可以利用窄带技术的特点,来承载物联网业务。其中,NB-IoT网络应用了独立于现有的蜂窝网络的新空口技术,终端设备的成本更低,支持的速率和移动性更低。eMTC网络作为现有的蜂窝网络的一个子特性,可以在长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)网络中针对物联网的特点,提供物联网业务支持。
NB-IoT和eMTC均是从版本(Rel)-13版本开始大规模商用,并在标准上不断演进,经过Rel-14和Rel-15,现在3GPP标准正在讨论Rel-16版本。在每一个版本中,为了不断优化系统性能,都有新特性加入标准。例如,针对终端设备即使发送少量数据也需要建立无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)连接的特点,为了减少终端设备建立RRC连接需要的连接或释放等步骤,减少数据传输功耗,在Rel-15中引入了数据早传(early data transmission,EDT)机制,在EDT机制下,允许终端设备通过随机接入过程中的消息(Msg3)传输少量数据,并在Msg4后结束传输流程,无需进入RRC连接态。
然而,即使有EDT机制,而Msg3所能携带的数据量是很少的,因此如果终端设备需要传输的数据量较多,则EDT机制仍然无法满足终端设备在RRC空闲态下传输数据的需求。因此目前讨论,还可以在终端设备处于连接态时为终端设备预配置上行资源,所预配置的上行资源用于终端设备在空闲态下传输上行数据。但是,由于终端设备在空闲态下并不监听任何单播信令,因此基站无法对预配置的这部分上行资源再做其他调度,也就是说,即使预配置了上行资源的终端设备在空闲态下并未使用这些上行资源,这些上行资源也无法再被其他终端设备利用。例如在该基站下的业务较为繁忙时,可能有些业务缺少上行资源,但是为一些终端设备预配置的上行资源又可能处于空闲状态,且无法被利用。显然,由于预配置的上行资源得不到有效管理,使得基站对于上行资源的调度失调,可能导致该基站覆盖下的通信过程出现问题。例如对于缺少上行资源的业务,可能导致传输失败,或者可能因为要通过较少的上行资源发送较多的上行数据而出现拥塞现象。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供一种资源管理方法及装置,用于使得网络设备对于上行资源能够进 行较为合理的调度管理。
第一方面,提供第一种资源管理方法,该方法包括:网络设备确定释放或禁用一份或多份上行资源,所述上行资源用于从空闲态的终端设备接收上行数据;所述网络设备发送第一信息,所述第一信息用于指示释放或禁用所述一份或多份上行资源中的部分或全部上行资源。
该方法可由第一通信装置执行,第一通信装置可以是通信设备,或能够支持通信设备实现该方法所需的功能的通信装置(例如芯片系统)。示例性地,通信设备可以是网络设备。这里以第一通信装置是网络设备为例。
在本申请实施例中,可以为终端设备分配用于终端设备在空闲态下发送上行数据的上行资源,从而终端设备在空闲态下可以利用所分配的上行资源来发送上行数据,而通过这些上行资源能够发送的上行数据相较于通过EDT方式发送的上行数据来说,数量可以是较多的,从而能够满足终端设备在RRC空闲态下传输数据的需求。另外,例如在网络负载较重时,网络设备可以确定释放或禁用至少一份上行资源,那么网络设备可以广播第一信息,通过第一信息可以指示释放或禁用至少一份上行资源,从而终端设备在接收第一信息后就可以根据第一信息的指示,释放或禁用相应的上行资源,以将上行资源用于该网络设备的其他调度。可见,通过本申请实施例提供的技术方案,网络设备可以对配置给终端设备的用于终端设备在空闲态下传输的上行资源实现较为灵活的管理,从而网络设备在需要调度上行资源时也可以调度这些上行资源,增加了网络设备管理资源的合理性,也提高了网络设备调度资源的灵活性,能够尽量保证该网络设备覆盖下的通信过程的正常进行,减少业务传输失败或拥塞等问题出现的概率,也提高了资源的利用率。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的一种可能的实施方式中,所述一份或多份上行资源包括所述网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源。
网络设备可以指示释放或禁用较多的上行资源,能够在较大程度上减轻网络设备的负担。而且只需通过第一信息即可实现释放或禁用,有助于节省信令开销。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的一种可能的实施方式中,所述第一信息包括至少一个第一索引,用于指示释放所述一份或多份上行资源中对应于所述至少一个第一索引的上行资源;或,所述第一信息包括第一条件,用于指示释放所述一份或多份上行资源中满足所述第一条件的上行资源。
网络设备除了为第一终端设备配置第一上行资源之外,还可以为所配置的第一上行资源配置第一索引,例如一份上行资源对应一个第一索引,如果第一上行资源包括多份上行资源,那么就可以对应多个第一索引。第一索引可以用于指示释放对应的上行资源,网络设备在为上行资源配置第一索引后,如果要指示释放相应的上行资源,则只需在第一信息里携带需释放的上行资源对应的第一索引即可,终端设备根据第一信息携带的第一索引就可以确定是否要释放网络设备为该终端设备配置的上行资源,指示方式较为明确。另外,还可以为多份上行资源设置相同的第一索引,那么网络设备通过在第一信息里携带一个第一索引就可以指示释放多份上行资源,有助于节省第一信息的信令开销。
或者,第一信息也可以包括第一条件,例如不同的上行资源可能满足不同的条件,那么网络设备可以指示释放满足相应的条件的上行资源。在第一信息中直接携带第一条件,终端设备根据第一条件就可以确定是否要释放网络设备为该终端设备配置的上行资源,指示方式也较为明确。而且网络设备只需携带第一条件,由终端设备自行判断即可,无需网 络设备一一判断为哪些终端设备配置的上行资源满足第一条件,可以减少网络设备的工作量。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的一种可能的实施方式中,所述第一信息包括至少一个第二索引,用于指示禁用所述一份或多份上行资源中对应于所述至少一个第二索引的上行资源;或,所述第一信息包括第二条件,用于指示禁用所述一份或多份上行资源中满足所述第二条件的上行资源。
网络设备除了为第一终端设备配置第一上行资源之外,还可以为所配置的第一上行资源配置第二索引,例如一份上行资源对应一个第二索引,如果第一上行资源包括多份上行资源,那么就可以对应多个第二索引。第二索引可以用于指示禁用对应的上行资源,网络设备在为上行资源配置第二索引后,如果要指示禁用相应的上行资源,则只需在第一信息里携带需禁用的上行资源对应的第二索引即可,终端设备根据第一信息携带的第一索引就可以确定是否要禁用网络设备为该终端设备配置的上行资源,指示方式较为明确。另外,还可以为多份上行资源设置相同的第二索引,那么网络设备通过在第一信息里携带一个第二索引就可以指示释放多份上行资源,有助于节省第一信息的信令开销。
或者,第一信息也可以包括第二条件,例如不同的上行资源可能满足不同的条件,那么网络设备可以指示禁用满足相应的条件的上行资源。在第一信息中直接携带第二条件,终端设备根据第二条件就可以确定是否要禁用网络设备为该终端设备配置的上行资源,指示方式也较为明确。而且网络设备只需携带第一条件,由终端设备自行判断即可,无需网络设备一一判断为哪些终端设备配置的上行资源满足第二条件,可以减少网络设备的工作量。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的一种可能的实施方式中,所述方法还包括:所述网络设备向第一终端设备发送第二信息,所述第二信息用于为所述第一终端设备配置第一上行资源,所述第二信息还用于为所述第一上行资源配置第一索引和/或第二索引,所述第一索引用于指示是否释放所述第一上行资源,所述第一索引用于指示是否禁用所述第一上行资源。
例如,网络设备可以在为第一终端设备配置第一上行资源时一并为第一上行资源配置第一索引和/或第二索引,例如网络设备通过第二信息为第一终端设备配置第一上行资源,则网络设备也可以通过第二信息为第一上行资源配置第一索引和/或第二索引;或者,网络设备为第一终端设备配置上行资源,和为第一上行资源配置第一索引和/或第二索引,也可以通过不同的信息,例如网络设备通过第二信息为第一终端设备配置第一上行资源,网络设备还可以再通过第三信息为第一上行资源配置第一索引和/或第二索引。其中,第二信息和第三信息可以携带在同一条信令中,该信令例如为高层信令,例如RRC信令,或者也可以是物理层信令,例如DCI等,具体的不做限制。或者,第二信息和第三信息也可以携带在不同的信令中,例如携带在两条RRC信令中,或者第二信息携带在RRC信令中,第三信息携带在DCI中。且,如果网络设备通过两条信令分别为第一终端设备配置第一上行资源和为第一上行资源配置第一索引和/或第二索引,那么网络设备可以同时发送这两条信令,或者用于为终端设备配置第一上行资源的信令可以先发送,或者为第一上行资源配置第一索引和/或第二索引的信令可以先发送。又或者,如果网络设备要为第一上行资源配置第一索引和第二索引,那么可以通过一条信令同时配置第一索引和第二索引,也可以通过两条信令分别配置第一索引和第二索引,具体的不做限制。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的一种可能的实施方式中,网络设备发送第一信息,包括:
所述网络设备发送系统消息,所述系统消息包括所述第一信息,所述系统消息为SIB和/或MIB;或,

所述网络设备发送通过第一RNTI加扰的DCI,所述DCI包括所述第一信息,所述第一RNTI不是P-RNTI;或,
所述网络设备在发送通过第一RNTI加扰的DCI后,发送通过所述DCI调度的PDSCH,所述PDSCH包括所述第一信息,所述第一RNTI不是P-RNTI。
这是网络设备通过寻呼方式发送第一信息的另一种可选的方式。在这种方式下,对于携带了第一信息的DCI,或者用于调度携带了第一信息的PDSCH的DCI,可以采用第一RNTI加扰,第一RNTI不是P-RNTI,而网络设备还是可以在寻呼时机发送通过第一RNTI加扰的DCI,从而处于空闲态的终端设备可以接收通过第一RNTI加扰的DCI。终端设备在接收通过第一RNTI加扰的DCI后,根据第一RNTI就可以确定该DCI或该DCI所调度的PDSCH中包括了第一信息,从而终端设备可以获得第一信息。将携带第一信息的DCI与普通的用于调度寻呼消息的DCI区分开,有助于终端设备根据不同的DCI获得不同的信息。
第二方面,提供第二种资源管理方法,该方法包括:第一终端设备接收来自网络设备的第二信息,所述第二信息用于为所述第一终端设备配置第一上行资源,所述第一上行资源用于所述第一终端设备在空闲态下向所述网络设备发送上行数据;所述第一终端设备接收来自所述网络设备的第一信息;所述第一终端设备根据所述第一信息的指示,确定是否释放或禁用所述第一上行资源。

具体实施方式
为了使本申请实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本申请实施例作进一步地详细描述。
以下,对本申请实施例中的部分用语进行解释说明,以便于本领域技术人员理解。
1)终端设备,包括向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备,例如可以包括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处理设备。该终端设备可以经无线接入网(radio access network,RAN)与核心网进行通信,与RAN交换语音和/或数据。该终端设备可以包括用户设备(user equipment,UE)、无线终端设备、移动终端设备、设备到设备通信(device-to-device,D2D)终端设备、V2X终端设备、机器到机器/机器类通信(machine-to-machine/machine-type communications,M2M/MTC)终端设备、物联网(internet of things,IoT)终端设备、订户单元(subscriber unit)、订户站(subscriber station),移动站(mobile station)、远程站(remote station)、接入点(access point,AP)、远程终端(remote terminal)、接入终端(access terminal)、用户终端(user terminal)、用户代理(user agent)、或用户装备(user device)等。例如,可以包括移动电话(或称为“蜂窝”电话),具有移动终端设备的计算机,便携式、袖珍式、手持式、计算机内置的移动装置等。例如,个人通信业务(personal communication service,PCS)电话、无绳电话、会话发起协议(session initiation protocol,SIP)话机、无线本地环路(wireless local loop,WLL)站、个人数字助理(personal digital assistant,PDA)、等设备。还包括受限设备,例如功耗较低的设备,或存储能力有限的设备,或计算能力有限的设备等。例如包括条码、射频识别(radio frequency identification,RFID)、传感器、全球定位系统(global positioning system,GPS)、激光扫描器等信息传感设备。
作为示例而非限定,在本申请实施例中,该终端设备还可以是可穿戴设备。可穿戴设备也可以称为穿戴式智能设备或智能穿戴式设备等,是应用穿戴式技术对日常穿戴进行智能化设计、开发出可以穿戴的设备的总称,如眼镜、手套、手表、服饰及鞋等。可穿戴设备即直接穿在身上,或是整合到用户的衣服或配件的一种便携式设备。可穿戴设备不仅仅是一种硬件设备,更是通过软件支持以及数据交互、云端交互来实现强大的功能。广义穿戴式智能设备包括功能全、尺寸大、可不依赖智能手机实现完整或者部分的功能,例如:智能手表或智能眼镜等,以及只专注于某一类应用功能,需要和其它设备如智能手机配合使用,如各类进行体征监测的智能手环、智能头盔、智能首饰等。
而如上介绍的各种终端设备,如果位于车辆上(例如放置在车辆内或安装在车辆内),都可以认为是车载终端设备,车载终端设备例如也称为车载单元(on-board unit,OBU)。
2)网络设备,例如包括接入网(access network,AN)设备,例如基站(例如,接入点),可以是指接入网中在空口通过一个或多个小区与无线终端设备通信的设备。基站可用于将收到的空中帧与网际协议(IP)分组进行相互转换,作为终端设备与接入网的其余部分之间的路由器,其中接入网的其余部分可包括IP网络。网络设备还可协调对空口的属性管理。例如,网络设备可以包括LTE系统或高级长期演进(long term evolution-advanced,LTE-A)中的演进型基站(NodeB或eNB或e-NodeB,evolutional Node B),或者也可以包括第五代移动通信技术(the 5 thgeneration,5G)新空口(new radio,NR)系统中的下一代节点B(next generation node B,gNB)或者也可以包括云接入网(cloud radio access network,Cloud RAN)系统中的集中式单元(centralized unit,CU)和分布式单元(distributed  unit,DU),或者还可以包括中继设备,本申请实施例并不限定。
3)eMTC,是万物互联技术的一个重要分支,基于LTE协议演进而来。为了更加适合物与物之间的通信,也为了更低的成本,eMTC对LTE协议进行了裁剪和优化。eMTC基于蜂窝网络进行部署,其用户设备通过支持1.4MHz的射频和基带带宽,可以直接接入现有的LTE网络。eMTC支持上下行最大1Mbps的峰值速率,可以支持丰富、创新的物联应用。

4)NB-IoT,是万物互联网络的一个重要分支。NB-IoT构建于蜂窝网络,只消耗大约180KHz的带宽,可直接部署于LTE网络等,以降低部署成本、实现平滑升级。与传统蜂窝网络相比,NB-IoT的业务和终端设备具有以下特点:
(1)业务低速率、长周期。与传统蜂窝网络相比,物联网业务产生的数据包更小,同时对于时延通常不是很敏感。
(2)海量连接要求。对大规模部署的智能水/电表,智能家居,汽车,可穿戴设备等物联网终端设备,一个NB-IoT基站下可能存在大量此类型的终端设备,例如可能存在数万个。
(3)低成本要求。较现有的蜂窝网络终端设备,NB-IoT要求终端设备的成本更低,以实现终端设备的海量部署。而低成本的需求就要求终端设备的实现复杂性要很低。
(4)低功耗要求。NB-IoT要求终端设备的功耗更低,从而节约终端设备的电池电量,保证终端设备超长的待机时间,进而节约更换电池的人力成本。
(5)业务到达率较低。通常几小时甚至一天以上才会有一次业务,而且相当一部分为上行触发,即网络设备不会寻呼终端设备,只有终端设备有上行业务时,网络设备才会在接收上行业务后向终端设备发送下行应答数据。
5)本申请实施例中的术语“系统”和“网络”可被互换使用。“至少一个”是指一个或者多个,“多个”是指两个或两个以上。“和/或”,描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B的情况,其中A,B可以是单数或者复数。字符“/”一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。“以下至少一项(个)”或其类似表达,是指的这些项中的任意组合,包括单项(个)或复数项(个)的任意组合。例如,a,b,或c中的至少一项(个),可以表示:a,b,c,a-b,a-c,b-c,或a-b-c,其中a,b,c可以是单个,也可以是多个。
以及,除非有相反的说明,本申请实施例提及“第一”、“第二”等序数词是用于对多个对象进行区分,不用于限定多个对象的顺序、时序、优先级或者重要程度。例如,第一优先级准则和第二优先级准则,只是为了区分不同的准则,而并不是表示这两种准则的内容、优先级或者重要程度等的不同。
此外,本申请实施例和权利要求书及附图中的术语“包括”和“具有”不是排他的。例如,包括了一系列步骤或模块的过程、方法、系统、产品或设备没有限定于已列出的步骤或模 块,还可以包括没有列出的步骤或模块。
如上介绍了本申请实施例涉及的一些概念,下面介绍本申请实施例中涉及的技术特征。
移动通信已经深刻地改变了人们的生活,但人们对更高性能的移动通信的追求从未停止。为了应对未来爆炸性的移动数据流量增长、海量的设备连接、以及不断涌现的各类新业务和应用场景,5G系统应运而生。物联网作为5G的组成部分,其市场需求增长迅猛,预测显示,到2022年5G物联网的连接数将会达到180亿。
目前3GPP标准已经基于蜂窝网络,针对物联网的特点提出了解决方案。例如NB-IoT网络和eMTC网络,可以利用窄带技术的特点,来承载IoT业务。其中,NB-IoT网络应用了独立于现有的蜂窝网络(LTE)的新空口技术,终端设备的成本更低,支持的速率和移动性更低。eMTC网络作为现有的蜂窝网络(LTE)的一个子特性,可以在LTE网络中针对物联网的特点,提供IoT业务支持。
NB-IoT和eMTC均是从Rel-13版本开始大规模商用,并在标准上不断演进,经过Rel-14和Rel-15,现在3GPP标准正在讨论Rel-16版本。在每一个版本中,为了不断优化系统性能,都有新特性加入标准。例如,针对终端设备即使发送少量数据也需要建立RRC连接的特点,为了减少终端设备建立RRC连接需要的连接或释放等步骤,减少数据传输功耗,在Rel-15中引入了EDT机制,在EDT机制下,允许终端设备通过随机接入过程中的消息(Msg3)传输少量数据,并在Msg4后结束传输流程,无需进入连接态。
然而,即使有EDT机制,而Msg3所能携带的数据量是很少的,因此如果终端设备需要传输的数据量较多,则EDT机制仍然无法满足终端设备在RRC空闲态下传输数据的需求。可见,对于终端设备的少量数据的传输来说,仍然有优化的空间。因此本申请实施例认为,可以通过预配置上行资源(pre-configured uplink resource,PUR)的方式为终端设备预配置上行资源,PUR方式是说,在终端设备前一次的(radio resource control,RRC)连接中,基站将上行资源预配置给终端设备,当该终端设备释放该RRC连接进入RRC空闲(idle)状态之后,如果有上行数据发送,则可以直接使用预配置的上行资源,避免了终端设备的随机接入过程,有利于减小终端设备的功耗。
例如可以参考图1,以NB-IoT系统为例,介绍根据现有讨论确定的PUR的大概过程。
S11、在终端设备和基站建立RRC连接后,基站向终端设备发送RRC信令,例如称为第一RRC信令,则终端设备接收来自基站的第一RRC信令,第一RRC信令用于为该终端设备预配置上行资源。
例如第一RRC信令可以是RRC连接建立(RRC connection setup)信令、RRC重建(RRC reestablishment)信令、RRC恢复(RRC resume)信令、RRC释放(RRC release)信令或RRC重配置(RRC reconfiguration)信令等。
其中,预配置的上行资源可以是周期性的资源,也就是可供终端设备周期性使用。基站通过RRC信令可以向终端设备发送预配置的上行资源的信息,预配置的上行资源的信息可以包括如下至少一种:该上行资源的周期、该上行资源的时域/频域起始位置、该上行资源的有效期(也就是该上行资源能够使用多长时间)、该上行资源的传输块(transport block,TB)大小、该上行资源的调制与编码策略(modulation and coding scheme,MCS)、该上行资源的带宽、该上行资源的跳频信息等。
S12、在RRC空闲态(本文也简称为空闲态)下,终端设备使用预配置的上行资源向 基站发送上行数据。
终端设备在进入空闲态后,如果需要发送上行数据,且确定有预配置的上行资源,那么终端设备可以确定该上行资源的大小是否大于或等于终端设备的数据量、确定终端设备是否与基站保持了上行同步、以及确定该上行资源是否有效,如果终端设备确定该上行资源的大小大于或等于终端设备的数据量、终端设备与基站保持了上行同步、以及该上行资源有效,则终端设备可以使用该上行资源向基站发送上行数据。
S13、在发送完上行数据后,终端设备监听物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel,PDCCH)。
例如在发送完上行数据后,终端设备可以启动一个定时器,以在该定时器的定时时长内监听PDCCH。该定时器的时长可以是协议规定的。
终端设备监听PDCCH目的可能包括以下几种中的至少一种:接收基站对于在S12中传输的上行数据的调度信息(用于调度上行重传)、接收基站对于在S12中传输的上行数据的应答信息、接收基站对于该基站将要发送的下行应答信息的调度信息、或接收基站对于下行RRC消息的调度信息。
S14、在接收完上行数据后,基站向终端设备发送RRC信令,例如称为第二RRC信令,终端设备接收来自基站的第二RRC信令。
其中,S14不是必须执行的,基站也有可能不向终端设备发送第二RRC信令,那么S14也就无需执行。
基站向终端设备发送第二RRC信令,可能的目的包括如下的至少一种:
(1)指示终端设备保持RRC空闲态。这也可以表示确定上行数据传输已完成,且没有进一步的下行应答信息需要发送。在这种目的下,第二RRC信令也可以携带下行应答信息。
(2)指示终端设备进入RRC连接态(本文也简称为连接态)。可能由于核心网缓存的下行数据或下行应答信息过大,无法在一个数据包内发送完,因此需要终端设备进入RRC连接态进行接收。
(3)为终端设备重配置在S11中预配置的上行资源,或,指示终端设备释放在S11中预配置的上行资源。
从S11和S12可以看出,通过PUR预配置的上行资源是供终端设备在空闲态使用的,而且很有可能是周期性出现。例如,目前PUR的主要场景是物联网终端设备的空闲态周期性上报,例如水表或电表几个小时上报一次读数等。因此预配置的上行资源的周期(或者有效期),很可能是小时级的粒度,例如上行资源的周期可能是一个或多个小时,或者上行资源的有效期可能是一个或多个小时。
目前,一旦通过PUR方式为终端设备预配置了上行资源,由于终端设备在空闲态并不监听任何单播的信令,因此基站无法对预配置的这部分上行资源再做其他调度,也就是说,即使预配置了上行资源的终端设备在空闲态下并未使用这些上行资源,这些上行资源也无法再被其他终端设备利用。例如,在该基站下的业务较为繁忙时,可能有些业务缺少上行资源,但是为一些终端设备预配置的上行资源又可能处于空闲状态,且无法被利用,而且为终端设备预配置的上行资源的周期(或者有效期)还很可能是小时级的粒度,也就是说终端设备会占用较长的时间,这可能导致基站在较长时间内无法调度这部分上行资源。可见,由于被预配置的资源得不到有效的管理,导致基站的资源调度不够合理,从而可能造 成该基站覆盖下的某些通信过程出现问题。例如该基站覆盖下的一些处于连接态的终端设备需要利用上行资源向基站发送上行数据,但基站没有足够的上行资源可调度,可能导致这些终端设备无法发送上行数据,造成传输失败,或者导致这些终端设备因为需要通过较少的上行资源发送较多的数据而出现拥塞等现象。
鉴于此,提供本申请实施例的技术方案。在本申请实施例中,可以为终端设备分配用于在空闲态下发送上行数据的上行资源,从而终端设备在空闲态下可以利用所分配的上行资源来发送上行数据,而通过这些上行资源能够发送的上行数据相较于通过EDT方式发送的上行数据来说,数量可以是较多的,从而能够满足终端设备在RRC空闲态下传输数据的需求。另外,例如在网络负载较重时,网络设备可以确定释放或禁用至少一份上行资源,那么网络设备可以广播第一信息,通过第一信息可以指示释放或禁用至少一份上行资源,从而终端设备在接收第一信息后就可以根据第一信息的指示,释放或禁用相应的上行资源,以将上行资源用于该网络设备的其他调度。可见,通过本申请实施例提供的技术方案,网络设备可以对配置给终端设备的用于终端设备在空闲态下传输的上行资源实现较为灵活的管理,从而网络设备在需要调度上行资源时也可以调度这些上行资源,增加了网络设备管理资源的合理性,也提高了网络设备调度资源的灵活性,能够尽量保证该网络设备覆盖下的通信过程的正常进行,减少业务传输失败或拥塞等问题出现的概率,也提高了资源的利用率。
如上介绍了本申请实施例涉及的技术特征,下面请参见图2,为本申请实施例的一种应用场景示意图。

图2中的网络设备例如为接入网设备,例如基站。其中,接入网设备在不同的系统对应不同的设备,例如在第四代移动通信技术(the 4 thgeneration,4G)系统中可以对应eNB,在5G系统中对应5G中的接入网设备,例如gNB。
接下来结合附图介绍本申请实施例提供的技术方案。
本申请实施例提供一种资源管理方法,请参见图3,为该方法的流程图。在下文的介绍过程中,以该方法应用于图2所示的网络架构为例。另外,该方法可由两个通信装置执行,这两个通信装置例如为第一通信装置和第二通信装置。其中,第一通信装置可以是网络设备或能够支持网络设备实现该方法所需的功能的通信装置,或者可以是终端设备或能够支持终端设备实现该方法所需的功能的通信装置,当然还可以是其他通信装置,例如芯片系统。第二通信装置可以是网络设备或能够支持网络设备实现该方法所需的功能的通信装置,或者可以是终端设备或能够支持终端设备实现该方法所需的功能的通信装置,当然还可以是其他通信装置,例如芯片系统。且对于第一通信装置和第二通信装置的实现方式均不做限制,例如这两个通信装置可以实现为相同的形式,例如均通过设备的形式实现,或者这两个通信装置也可以实现为不同的形式,例如第一通信装置通过设备的形式实现,第二通信装置通过芯片系统的方式实现,等等。其中,网络设备例如为基站。
为了便于介绍,在下文中,以该方法由网络设备和第一终端设备执行为例,也就是以第一通信装置是网络设备、第二通信装置是第一终端设备为例。因为本实施例是以应用在图2所示的网络架构为例,因此,下文中所述的网络设备可以是图2所示的网络架构中的 网络设备,下文中所述的第一终端设备可以是图2所示的网络架构中的任意一个终端设备。
S31、网络设备向第一终端设备发送第二信息,终端设备接收来自网络设备的所述第二信息,所述第二信息用于为第一终端设备配置第一上行资源,所述第一上行资源用于第一终端设备在空闲态下向网络设备发送上行数据。
本申请实施例中,网络设备可以为一个终端设备配置(或者,也可以描述为预配置。之所以描述为“预配置”,是指所配置的上行资源是在终端设备处于RRC连接态时配置的,在配置后暂时不会使用,而在终端设备进入RRC空闲态后才会使用)一份或多份上行资源,可以理解为,这一份或多份上行资源是网络设备通过PUR的方式预配置给该终端设备的。其中,一份上行资源例如是指满足一种条件的上行资源,或者是一种类型的上行资源等,具体的不做限制。例如,满足一种条件的上行资源有多份,网络设备可以将其中的一份或几份配置给一个终端设备。同理,一种类型的上行资源可以有多份,网络设备可以将其中的一份或几份配置给一个终端设备。
其中,上行资源的类型可以通过协议定义,也可以通过系统广播来指示。如果是通过系统广播指示,例如上行资源的类型可以由网络设备根据业务特点进行划分。例如,网络设备可以将具有较大的TBS的上行资源划分为一种类型,此类型的上行资源可以用于支持相对大量的数据传输;或者,网络设备还可以将具有较小的资源周期的上行资源划分为一种类型,此类型的上行资源可以用于支持时延较为敏感的数据传输,等等。定义不同类型的上行资源,好处在于在网络设备配置上行资源时,可以发送较少的信息,节约信令。例如可以只发送相应的类型的指示,或者发送相应的类别的指示和部分与该类型不同的资源参数即可。
例如,一份上行资源是指满足一种条件的上行资源,网络设备如果为一个终端设备配置了多份上行资源,那么这多份上行资源可以满足同一种条件,或者也可以分别满足不同的条件;或者,一份上行资源是一种类型的上行资源,网络设备如果为一个终端设备配置了多份上行资源,那么这多份上行资源可以是同一种类型的上行资源,或者也可以分别是不同类型的上行资源。
关于上行资源所满足的条件究竟包括哪些,将在后文中介绍。
例如对于一个终端设备来说,例如将其称为第一终端设备,网络设备可以向第一终端设备发送第二信息,该第二信息用于为对于终端设备配置上行资源,例如称为第一上行资源,第一上行资源可以包括一份或多份上行资源,例如第二信息可以携带在图1中的S11中的第一RRC信令中。
作为一种可选的方式,网络设备除了为第一终端设备配置第一上行资源之外,还可以为所配置的第一上行资源配置第一索引和/或第二索引。例如,网络设备可以为第一上行资源配置第一索引或第二索引,或者为第一上行资源配置第一索引和第二索引。其中,一个第一索引可以对应一份上行资源,那么,如果第一上行资源包括一份上行资源,网络设备就可以为第一上行资源配置一个第一索引,或者,如果第一上行资源包括多份上行资源,网络设备就可以为第一上行资源配置多个第一索引,第一索引和第一上行资源包括的多份上行资源可以是一一对应的关系。同理,一个第二索引可以对应一份上行资源,那么,如果第一上行资源包括一份上行资源,网络设备就可以为第一上行资源配置一个第二索引,或者,如果第一上行资源包括多份上行资源,网络设备就可以为第一上行资源配置多个第二索引,第二索引和第一上行资源包括的多份上行资源可以是一一对应的关系。
另外,网络设备还可以为所配置的第一上行资源配置第三索引,可以理解为,网络设备可以为第一上行资源配置第一索引、第二索引或第三索引中的至少一种。例如可以为第一上行资源只配置第一索引,或者可以为第一上行资源只配置第二索引,或者可以为第一上行资源只配置第三索引,或者可以为第一上行资源只配置第一索引和第二索引,或者可以为第一上行资源只配置第一索引和第三索引,或者可以为第一上行资源只配置第二索引和第三索引,或者可以为第一上行资源配置第一索引、第二索引和第三索引。一个第三索引可以对应一份上行资源,那么,如果第一上行资源包括一份上行资源,网络设备就可以为第一上行资源配置一个第三索引,或者,如果第一上行资源包括多份上行资源,网络设备就可以为第一上行资源配置多个第三索引,第三索引和第一上行资源包括的多份上行资源可以是一一对应的关系。第三索引可以用于指示是否修改相应的上行资源,这里的“修改”,也可以理解为重配置。
对于一份上行资源来说,网络设备可以为该上行资源配置第一索引、第二索引或第三索引中的至少一个索引。例如可以只为该上行资源配置第一索引或第二索引或第三索引;或者可以只为该上行资源配置第一索引和第二索引;或者可以只为该上行资源配置第二索引和第三索引;或者可以只为该上行资源配置第一索引和第三索引;或者可以为该上行资源配置第一索引、第二索引和第三索引。其中,关于第一索引、第二索引和第三索引各自的作用,将在后文中介绍。
例如,网络设备可以在为第一终端设备配置第一上行资源时一并为第一上行资源配置第一索引和/或第二索引,例如网络设备通过第二信息为第一终端设备配置第一上行资源,则网络设备也可以通过第二信息为第一上行资源配置第一索引和/或第二索引;或者,网络设备为第一终端设备配置上行资源,和为第一上行资源配置第一索引和/或第二索引,也可以通过不同的信息,例如网络设备通过第二信息为第一终端设备配置第一上行资源,网络设备还可以再通过第三信息为第一上行资源配置第一索引和/或第二索引。其中,第二信息和第三信息可以携带在同一条信令中,该信令例如为高层信令,例如RRC信令或媒体接入控制控制信元(media access control control element,MAC CE),或者也可以是物理层信令,例如下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)等,具体的不做限制。或者,第二信息和第三信息也可以携带在不同的信令中,例如携带在两条RRC信令中,或者第二信息携带在RRC信令中,第三信息携带在DCI中。且,如果网络设备通过两条信令分别为第一终端设备配置第一上行资源和为第一上行资源配置第一索引和/或第二索引,那么网络设备可以同时发送这两条信令,或者用于为终端设备配置第一上行资源的信令可以先发送,或者为第一上行资源配置第一索引和/或第二索引的信令可以先发送。又或者,如果网络设备要为第一上行资源配置第一索引和第二索引,那么可以通过一条信令同时配置第一索引和第二索引,也可以通过两条信令分别配置第一索引和第二索引,具体的不做限制。
同理,网络设备可以在为第一终端设备配置第一上行资源时一并为第一上行资源配置第三索引,例如网络设备通过第二信息为第一终端设备配置第一上行资源,则网络设备也可以通过第二信息为第一上行资源配置第三索引;或者,网络设备为第一终端设备配置上行资源,和为第一上行资源配置第三索引,也可以通过不同的信息。
其中,如果网络设备需要为给多个终端设备配置的上行资源配置第一索引,则配置方式都是类似的,可参考对于网络设备为第一上行资源配置第一索引的相关介绍。而且,网络设备为给多个终端设备配置的上行资源配置第一索引,配置过程可以是同时进行的,或 者也可以不是同时进行的,具体的不做限制。对于第二索引和第三索引来说也是同样的,不多赘述。
第一索引可以用于标识上行资源,例如一个第一索引可以标识一份或多份上行资源,第二索引和第三索引也是同样的。而对于网络设备来说,不同的索引是与网络设备的不同的操作相关联的,或者说是与网络设备指示的不同的内容相关联的。例如,对于配置了第一索引的一份上行资源来说,如果网络设备要指示释放该份上行资源,则网络设备可以通过发送第一索引的方式来进行指示,此时,第一索引可以认为是用于指示是否释放该份上行资源;对于配置了第二索引的一份上行资源来说,如果网络设备要指示禁用该份上行资源,则网络设备可以通过发送第二索引的方式来进行指示,此时,第二索引可以认为是用于指示是否禁用该份上行资源;对于配置了第三索引的一份上行资源来说,如果网络设备要指示修改该份上行资源,则网络设备可以通过发送第三索引的方式来进行指示,此时,第三索引可以认为是用于指示是否修改该份上行资源。
其中,释放是指完全释放该份上行资源,如果需要再次使用则需要网络设备重新配置;而禁用是指在满足一定禁用条件时禁止配置了该份上行资源的终端设备使用该份上行资源,而在不满足该禁用条件时该终端设备还可以使用该份上行资源,例如该禁用条件为一段时间,那么就是在该段时间内禁止配置了该份上行资源的终端设备使用该份上行资源,而在这段时间过后该终端设备还可以使用该份上行资源。修改是指对该上行资源进行重配置,使得该上行资源的部分或全部属性发生改变,例如可以修改上行资源的周期、该上行资源的时域/频域起始位置、该上行资源的有效期、该上行资源的传输块大小、该上行资源的调制与编码策略、该上行资源的带宽、或该上行资源的跳频信息中的至少一种。
S32、网络设备确定释放或禁用一份或多份上行资源,所述上行资源用于从空闲态的终端设备接收上行数据。
当然,网络设备除了可以确定释放或禁用一份或多份上行资源之外,还可以确定修改一份或多份上行资源。
如果从终端设备来讲,所述上行资源就是用于终端设备在空闲态向网络设备发送上行数据。其中,如无特殊说明,则本文中所述的终端设备的空闲态均是指RRC空闲态,终端设备的连接态均是指RRC连接态。
另外,本文中所述的终端设备的空闲态,是指终端设备没有和网络设备建立完全的RRC连接,因此不能随时接收下行的单播数据和信令的状态。在5G系统中,RRC非激活态(RRC inactive)和本文所述的终端设备空闲态是类似的。也就是说,本申请各个实施例所述的网络设备通过第二信息为终端设备配置的上行资源,可以用于终端设备在空闲态向网络设备发送上行数据,也可以用于终端设备在RRC非激活态向网络设备发送上行数据,本文主要以该上行资源用于终端设备在空闲态向网络设备发送上行数据为例。
例如网络设备在网络负载较重、或者在网络资源不足等情况下可能会确定需要释放或禁用一些上行资源。所述的一份或多份上行资源,可以是配置给一个终端设备的,或者也可以是配置给多个终端设备的。
S33、网络设备发送第一信息,第一终端设备接收来自网络设备的所述第一信息。对于网络设备来说,第一信息用于指示释放或禁用所述一份或多份上行资源中的部分或全部上行资源。
或者,第一信息也可以用于指示修改所述一份或多份上行资源中的部分或全部上行资 源。
能够接收网络设备发送的第一信息的终端设备可能有多个,而这多个终端设备中的每个终端设备的处理方式都是类似的,因此本申请实施例继续以多个终端设备中的第一终端设备为例进行介绍。
目前,虽然在Rel-15中引入了EDT机制,在EDT机制下,允许终端设备通过Msg3传输少量数据,并在Msg4后结束传输流程,无需进入连接态。然而,即使有EDT机制,而Msg3所能携带的数据量是很少的,因此如果终端设备需要传输的数据量较多,则EDT机制仍然无法满足终端设备在RRC空闲态下传输数据的需求。因此本申请实施例提出,可以通过PUR的方式为终端设备预先配置上行资源,从而终端设备在空闲态下可以通过所配置的上行资源向网络设备发送上行数据,以满足终端设备在空闲态下的数据传输需求。然而,由于终端设备在空闲态并不监听任何单播的信令,因此网络设备无法通知空闲态的终端设备释放预配置的上行资源。在网络负载较重时,由于空闲态的终端设备不会释放预配置的上行资源,很可能会导致该网络设备可配置的资源不够用。可见,由于被预留的资源得不到有效的管理,导致网络设备的资源调度不够合理,从而可能造成该网络设备覆盖下的某些通信过程出现问题。例如该网络设备覆盖下的一些终端设备需要利用上行资源向网络设备发送上行数据,但网络设备无法调度足够的上行资源,可能导致这些终端设备无法发送上行数据。
鉴于此,本申请实施例提出,例如在网络负载较重时,或者在该网络设备覆盖下有其它通信过程需要使用上行资源时,或者在终端设备并未使用或者在很长时间内未使用所配置的上行资源等情况下,网络设备可以执行S32,也就是可以确定释放或禁用一份或多份上行资源,这些上行资源就是配置给终端设备、用于终端设备在空闲态下发送上行数据的资源,从而使得这部分上行资源得以用在更急需上行资源的通信过程中,提高资源的利用率。
网络设备如果确定需要释放、禁用或修改至少一份上行资源,则网络设备可以生成第一信息,第一信息用于指示释放、禁用或修改至少一份上行资源。其中,因为网络设备发送第一信息,目的是要通知给处于空闲态的终端设备,使得处于空闲态的终端设备能够释放或禁用相应的上行资源。而在终端设备处于空闲态时,一般只会监听网络设备发送的广播消息或寻呼消息等,对于单播的消息可能不做监听。因此在本申请实施例中,为了使得处于空闲态的终端设备能够接收到网络设备发送的第一信息,在S33中网络设备可以采用广播方式或寻呼方式发送第一信息。
例如,网络设备可以通过广播方式发送第一信息,第一信息可以携带在广播消息中,终端设备接收广播消息后就可以获得第一信息;或者网络设备也可以通过寻呼方式发送第一信息,终端设备以寻呼方式接收第一信息。对于一个终端设备来说,可以是在确定有上行数据要传输,而且确定网络设备为该终端设备预配置了上行资源的情况下,在进行上行传输之前可以检测系统消息,这里的“检测”,也可以理解为“接收”,终端设备在进行上行传输之前,可以接收来自网络设备的系统消息。例如系统消息为MIB和/或SIB。网络设备对于系统消息一般都是周期性发送的,因此终端设备在进行上行传输之前可以接收。
例如,第一信息携带在广播消息中,那么第一终端设备可以是在有待发送的上行数据时,接收(或者描述为,检测)来自网络设备的该广播消息,从而获得广播消息携带的第一信息。或者,第一信息通过寻呼方式发送,那么第一终端设备可以通过寻呼方式接收第 一信息。
如果第一信息携带在广播消息中,那么该广播消息例如为主信息块(master information block,MIB)和/或系统信息块(system information block,SIB)。例如,第一信息全部携带在MIB中,则该广播消息就是MIB;或者,第一信息全部携带在SIB中,则该广播消息就是SIB;或者,第一信息的一部分携带在MIB中,第一信息剩余的部分携带在SIB中,则该广播消息就是SIB和MIB。
或者,网络设备可以通过寻呼方式发送第一信息。在这种方式下,又可以分为两种子方式。
A、寻呼方式下的子方式1,网络设备通过寻呼消息发送第一信息。
网络设备会周期性发送寻呼消息,终端设备可以在寻呼时机(paging occasion,PO)检测物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel,PDCCH),该PDCCH可以通过寻呼-无线网络临时标识(paging-radio network tempory identity,P-RNTI)加扰。该PDCCH承载DCI,网络设备可以将第一信息携带在DCI中,那么终端设备检测到PDCCH后就可以获得DCI,从而获得DCI携带的第一信息。
或者,该DCI可以调度寻呼消息,该寻呼消息可以承载在物理下行共享信道(physical downlink shared channel,PDSCH)中,则网络设备也可以将第一信息携带在PDSCH中。终端设备检测到PDCCH后可以获得DCI,根据DCI可以确定PDSCH的位置等信息,从而接收PDSCH,可以获得PDSCH携带的第一信息。
至于第一信息究竟携带在DCI中还是PDSCH中,可以通过协议规定,或者由网络设备事先通知终端设备,具体的不做限制。
B、寻呼方式下的子方式2,网络设备通过寻呼方式发送第一信息。
在子方式1下,终端设备是通过检测寻呼消息获得的第一信息,而在方式2下,网络设备可以继续在寻呼时机发送携带第一信息的消息,但是该消息可以不被看做是寻呼消息,只是跟寻呼消息在相同的时机发送,终端设备也继续在寻呼时机检测该消息。
例如,网络设备可以预先配置一种RNTI,或者这种新的RNTI也可以通过协议规定,例如将这种新的RNTI称为第一RNTI。其中,如果由网络设备预先配置第一RNTI,那么网络设备可以在为终端设备配置上行资源时一并配置第一RNTI,例如对于第一终端设备,网络设备可以通过第二信息一并为第一终端设备配置第一RNTI。当然网络设备除了在为终端设备配置上行资源时一并配置第一RNTI之外,也可以通过其他信息为终端设备配置第一RNTI,具体的不做限制。
在子方式2下,网络设备在寻呼时机发送PDCCH,所发送的PDCCH可以继续通过P-RNTI加扰,或者也可以通过第一RNTI加扰。如果通过第一RNTI加扰,那么就表示该PDCCH承载的DCI携带了第一信息,网络设备可以将第一信息携带在该PDCCH承载的DCI中发送;或者,如果通过第一RNTI加扰,表示该PDCCH承载的DCI所调度的PDSCH携带了第一信息,网络设备可以将第一信息携带在该PDCCH承载的DCI所调度的PDSCH中发送。
终端设备在寻呼时机检测PDCCH,如果检测到的PDCCH是通过P-RNTI加扰,终端设备可以确定该PDCCH承载的DCI以及该DCI所调度的PDSCH中均没有第一信息,终端设备按照正常流程获得该DCI以及相应的PDSCH即可;而如果检测到的PDCCH是通过第一RNTI加扰,终端设备可以确定该PDCCH承载的DCI或该DCI所调度的PDSCH 中有第一信息,终端设备可以获得该PDCCH承载的DCI,获得DCI携带的第一信息,或者根据该DCI可以确定PDSCH的位置等信息,从而接收PDSCH,可以获得PDSCH携带的第一信息。
至于第一信息究竟携带在DCI中还是PDSCH中,可以通过协议规定,或者由网络设备事先通知终端设备,具体的不做限制。
作为网络设备确定释放或禁用的所述的一份或多份上行资源的一种可选的实施方式,所述的一份或多份上行资源可以包括该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源。也就是说,网络设备可能为该网络设备覆盖下的一个或多个终端设备都通过PUR方式配置了上行资源,那么所述的一份或多份上行资源可以包括网络设备为这些终端设备所配置的全部的上行资源。例如网络设备在网络负载很重的情况下,或者在网络资源极度缺乏的情况下,可以确定释放或禁用该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源,以能够将这些资源收回用于相应的传输。当然对于第一终端设备来说,可以根据第一信息确定释放或禁用该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源,或者,第一终端设备根据第一信息只是确定释放或禁用网络设备为第一终端设备配置的第一上行资源,而并不感知第一信息实际上是要释放或禁用该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源。
如果所述的一份或多份上行资源包括该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源,那么第一信息的一种实现方式可以较为简单,例如第一信息可以包括1比特(bit),通过这1比特既需要指示释放也需要指示禁用。那么例如,如果这1比特的取值为“1”,表明第一信息指示释放该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源,或者,如果这1比特的取值为“0”,表明第一信息指示禁用该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源;或者例如,如果这1比特的取值为“0”,表明第一信息指示释放该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源,或者,如果这1比特的取值为“1”,表明第一信息指示禁用该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源。
或者,如果通过这1比特既需要指示释放也需要指示禁用,也可以通过这1比特所在的位置来指示。例如,如果这1比特的第一信息位于MIB中,则表明第一信息指示释放该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源,如果这1比特的第一信息位于SIB中,例如位于SIB14中,表明第一信息指示禁用该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源。
总之,如果通过1比特的第一信息既需要指示释放也需要指示禁用,那么网络设备只要发送第一信息,就表明需要释放或禁用该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源,终端设备只要接收了第一信息,就可以确定需要释放或禁用该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源;如果网络设备不发送第一信息,也就表明既不释放也不禁用全部的预配置的上行资源,则终端设备如果接收不到第一信息,就可以确定既不释放也不禁用全部的预配置的上行资源。
或者,如果所述的一份或多份上行资源包括该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源,那么通过1比特也可以只是指示是否释放,在这种 情况下,如果网络设备既需要指示释放相应的上行资源也需要指示禁用相应的上行资源,则指示信息可以包括2比特,其中的1比特用于指示是否释放,其中的另1比特用于指示是否禁用,这里主要描述用于指示是否释放的1比特。例如,如果这1比特的取值为“1”,表明第一信息指示释放该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源,或者,如果这1比特的取值为“0”,表明第一信息指示不释放该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源;或者,如果通过这1比特只需指示释放,则可以与该1比特的取值无关,只要网络设备发送了这1比特的第一信息,无论这1比特的第一信息的取值是“0”还是“1”,都表示网络设备指示释放该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源,如果网络设备不发送第一信息,也就表明不释放该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源。
接下来描述用于指示是否禁用的1比特。如果通过1比特只需指示禁用,例如,如果这1比特的取值为“1”,表明网络设备指示禁用该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源,或者,如果这1比特的取值为“0”,表明网络设备指示不禁用该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源;或者,如果通过1比特只需指示禁用,则可以与该1比特的取值无关,只要网络设备发送了这1比特的第一信息,无论这1比特的第一信息的取值是“0”还是“1”,都表示网络设备指示禁用该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源,如果网络设备不发送第一信息,也就表明不禁用该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源。
或者,如果所述的一份或多份上行资源包括该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源,第一信息也可以不通过1比特的形式实现,而是可以包括相应的上行资源的索引。例如第一信息可以包括至少一个第一索引,也就表明网络设备指示释放至少一个第一索引所对应的至少一份上行资源。例如对于第一终端设备,在接收第一信息后,只要确定网络设备为第一终端设备配置的第一上行资源对应的第一索引包括在第一信息中,就可以释放第一上行资源,当然,第一终端设备释放的是第一上行资源中对应于第一索引的上行资源,第一上行资源中对应于第一索引的上行资源可以包括第一上行资源的部分或全部。例如,如果网络设备为该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源都配置了第一索引,那么第一信息只需要携带相应的上行资源的第一索引,就表明网络设备指示释放该上行资源,如果第一信息携带了网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源的第一索引,也就表明网络设备指示释放网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源。
再例如,如果网络设备为该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源都配置了第二索引,那么第一信息只需要携带相应的上行资源的第二索引,就表明网络设备指示禁用该上行资源,如果第一信息携带了网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源的第二索引,也就表明网络设备指示禁用网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源。例如对于第一终端设备,在接收第一信息后,只要确定网络设备为第一终端设备配置的第一上行资源对应的第二索引包括在第一信息中,就可以释放第一上行资源,当然,第一终端设备释 放的是第一上行资源中对应于第二索引的上行资源,第一上行资源中对应于第二索引的上行资源可以包括第一上行资源的部分或全部。
其中,一份上行资源对应于一个第一索引,不同的上行资源所对应的第一索引可以是各不相同的。那么网络设备如果要通过指示第一索引的方式指示释放相应的上行资源,则需要携带的第一索引的数量可能较多。或者,可以有多份上行资源所对应的第一索引是相同的,例如可以将上行资源进行分类,可以为属于同一类型的上行资源配置相同的第一索引,或者可以为满足同一种条件的上行资源配置相同的第一索引。例如网络设备为该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源均配置了相同的第一索引,那么第一信息只需要携带一个第一索引,就能指示释放网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源,这种方式有助于节省第一信息所占用的传输资源,也简化第一信息的结构。
同理,一份上行资源对应于一个第二索引,不同的上行资源所对应的第二索引可以是各不相同的,那么网络设备如果要通过指示第二索引的方式指示禁用相应的上行资源,则需要携带的第二索引的数量可能较多。或者,可以有多份上行资源所对应的第二索引是相同的,例如可以将上行资源进行分类,可以为属于同一类型的上行资源配置相同的第二索引,或者可以为满足同一种条件的上行资源配置相同的第二索引。例如网络设备为该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源均配置了相同的第二索引,那么第一信息只需要携带一个第二索引,就能指示禁用网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源,这种方式有助于节省第一信息所占用的传输资源,也简化第一信息的结构。
或者,如果网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源都能够满足相同的条件,例如称为第一条件,那么第一信息也可以携带第一条件,表明网络设备指示释放满足第一条件的上行资源,而如果网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源都能够满足第一条件,且第一信息携带第一条件,也就表明第一信息指示释放该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源。例如对于第一终端设备,在接收第一信息后,只要确定网络设备为第一终端设备配置的第一上行资源满足第一条件,就可以释放第一上行资源,当然,第一终端设备释放的是第一上行资源中满足第一条件的上行资源,第一上行资源中满足第一条件的上行资源可以包括第一上行资源的部分或全部。
第一条件例如包括传输块大小大于(或等于)第一阈值,和/或,对于一个数据的重复传输次数大于(或等于)第二阈值,当然第一条件还可能包括其他条件,具体的不做限制。例如,一份上行资源对应的传输块大小大于或等于第一阈值,或者所规定的对于一个数据的重复传输次数大于或等于第二阈值,都表明该上行资源是较多的,释放这样的上行资源,对于其他传输来说较为有帮助。
同理,如果网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源都能够满足相同的条件,例如称为第二条件,那么第一信息也可以携带第二条件,表明网络设备指示禁用满足第二条件的上行资源,而如果网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源都能够满足第二条件,且第一信息携带第二条件,也就表明第一信息指示禁用该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源。如对于第一终端设备,在接收第一信息后,只要确定网络设备为第一 终端设备配置的第一上行资源满足第二条件,就可以释放第一上行资源,当然,第一终端设备释放的是第一上行资源中满足第二条件的上行资源,第一上行资源中满足第二条件的上行资源可以包括第一上行资源的部分或全部。例如,一份上行资源对应的传输块大小大于或等于第一阈值,或者所规定的对于一个数据的重复传输次数大于或等于第二阈值,都表明该上行资源是较多的,释放这样的上行资源,对于其他传输来说较为有帮助。
其中,第一条件和第二条件可以是同一条件,或者也可以是不同的条件。例如第一条件和第二条件均为传输块大小大于(或等于)第一阈值;或者,第一条件为传输块大小大于(或等于)第一阈值,第二条件为对于一个数据的重复传输次数大于(或等于)第二阈值。
作为网络设备确定释放或禁用的所述的一份或多份上行资源的一种可选的实施方式,所述的一份或多份上行资源可以包括该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的部分的上行资源。也就是说,网络设备可能为该网络设备覆盖下的一个或多个终端设备都通过PUR方式配置了上行资源,那么至少一份上行资源可以包括网络设备为这些终端设备所配置的全部的上行资源中的一部分。例如网络设备在网络负载较重的情况下,或者在网络资源较为缺乏的情况下,可以确定释放或禁用该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的部分的上行资源,以能够将这些资源收回用于相应的传输,同时也尽量能够保证其他的配置了上行资源的终端设备能够继续正常使用所配置的上行资源。
如果所述的一份或多份上行资源包括该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的部分的上行资源,第一信息可以包括相应的上行资源的索引,例如第一信息可以包括至少一个第一索引,也就表明网络设备指示释放至少一个第一索引所对应的至少一份上行资源。例如,如果网络设备为该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源或部分的上行资源配置了第一索引,那么第一信息只需要携带相应的上行资源的第一索引,就表明网络设备指示释放该上行资源,那么网络设备需要释放哪一份上行资源,就可以携带该上行资源的第一索引。例如对于第一终端设备,在接收第一信息后,如果确定网络设备为第一终端设备配置的第一上行资源对应的第一索引包括在第一信息中,就可以释放第一上行资源。当然,第一终端设备释放的是第一上行资源中对应于第一索引的上行资源,第一上行资源中对应于第一索引的上行资源可以包括第一上行资源的部分或全部。
再例如,如果网络设备为该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源或部分的上行资源配置了第二索引,那么第一信息只需要携带相应的上行资源的第二索引,就表明网络设备指示禁用该上行资源,那么网络设备需要禁用哪一份上行资源,就可以携带该上行资源的第二索引。这种方式较为简单明确,终端设备根据第一信息携带的第一索引就可以确定是否要释放网络设备为该终端设备预配置的上行资源,或者根据第一信息携带的第二索引就可以确定是否要禁用该终端设备的上行资源。例如对于第一终端设备,在接收第一信息后,如果确定网络设备为第一终端设备配置的第一上行资源对应的第二索引包括在第一信息中,就可以释放第一上行资源。当然,第一终端设备释放的是第一上行资源中对应于第二索引的上行资源,第一上行资源中对应于第二索引的上行资源可以包括第一上行资源的部分或全部。
关于第一索引的实现方式,在前文中已有介绍,例如不同的上行资源可以分别对应不 同的第一索引,那么网络设备需要释放哪些上行资源,就需要携带这些上行资源分别对应的第一索引;或者,多份上行资源可以对应同一个第一索引,网络设备只需携带一个第一索引就能指示释放多份上行资源,较为节省传输资源。同理,关于第二索引的实现方式也在前文中介绍,例如不同的上行资源可以分别对应不同的第二索引,那么网络设备需要释放哪些上行资源,就需要携带这些上行资源分别对应的第二索引;或者,多份上行资源可以对应同一个第二索引,网络设备只需携带一个第二索引就能指示释放多份上行资源,较为节省传输资源。
或者,如果网络设备要指示释放该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的部分的上行资源,那么第一信息也可以携带第一条件,表明网络设备指示释放满足第一条件的上行资源。例如对于第一终端设备,在接收第一信息后,只要确定网络设备为第一终端设备配置的第一上行资源满足第一条件,就可以释放第一上行资源。当然,第一终端设备释放的是第一上行资源中满足第一条件的上行资源,第一上行资源中满足第一条件的上行资源可以包括第一上行资源的部分或全部。
同理,如果网络设备要指示禁用该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的部分的上行资源,那么第一信息也可以携带第二条件,表明网络设备指示禁用满足第二条件的上行资源。例如对于第一终端设备,在接收第一信息后,只要确定网络设备为第一终端设备配置的第一上行资源满足第二条件,就可以禁用第一上行资源。当然,第一终端设备禁用的是第一上行资源中满足第二条件的上行资源,第一上行资源中满足第二条件的上行资源可以包括第一上行资源的部分或全部。
关于第一条件和第二条件,在前文已有介绍。
前面介绍的都是网络设备通过第一信息指示释放或禁用一份或多份上行资源中的部分或全部,下面介绍网络设备如何通过第一信息指示修改一份或多份上行资源中的部分或全部。
如果所述的一份或多份上行资源包括该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源,那么网络设备用于指示修改一份或多份上行资源中的部分或全部的第一信息可以包括1比特。例如,如果这1比特的取值为“1”,表明第一信息指示修改该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源,或者,如果这1比特的取值为“0”,表明第一信息指示不修改该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源。
或者,如果通过这1比特只需指示修改,则可以与该1比特的取值无关,只要网络设备发送了这1比特的第一信息,无论这1比特的第一信息的取值是“0”还是“1”,都表示网络设备指示修改该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源。如果网络设备不发送第一信息,也就表明不修改该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源。
或者,也可以通过这1比特的位置来指示。如果这1比特的第一信息位于MIB中,则表明第一信息指示修改该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源,如果MIB中不包括这1比特的第一信息,也就是网络设备不发送这1比特的第一信息,就表明不修改该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源。
当然,在第一信息只包括1比特的情况下,如果第一信息指示修改该网络设备所配置 的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源,那么具体的修改方式的信息网络设备可以通过其他信息指示,或者可以通过协议规定。
或者,如果所述的一份或多份上行资源包括该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源,第一信息也可以不通过1比特的形式实现,而是可以包括相应的上行资源的索引。例如第一信息可以包括至少一个第三索引,也就表明网络设备指示修改至少一个第三索引所对应的至少一份上行资源。例如对于第一终端设备,在接收第一信息后,只要确定网络设备为第一终端设备配置的第一上行资源对应的第三索引包括在第一信息中,就可以修改第一上行资源,当然,第一终端设备修改的是第一上行资源中对应于第三索引的上行资源,第一上行资源中对应于第三索引的上行资源可以包括第一上行资源的部分或全部。具体的修改方式的信息可以一并包括在第一信息中,第一终端设备根据第一信息既可以确定是否需修改第一上行资源,也可以确定应如何修改第一上行资源,或者网络设备也可以通过其他信息发送具体的修改方式的信息,或者修改方式的信息也可以通过协议规定。
同理,一份上行资源对应于一个第三索引,不同的上行资源所对应的第一索引可以是各不相同的。那么网络设备如果要通过指示第三索引的方式指示修改相应的上行资源,则需要携带的第三索引的数量可能较多。或者,可以有多份上行资源所对应的第一索引是相同的,例如可以将上行资源进行分类,可以为属于同一类型的上行资源配置相同的第一索引,或者可以为满足同一种条件的上行资源配置相同的第三索引。例如网络设备为该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源均配置了相同的第三索引,那么第一信息只需要携带一个第三索引,就能指示修改网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源,这种方式有助于节省第一信息所占用的传输资源,也简化第一信息的结构。
或者,如果网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源都能够满足相同的条件,例如称为第三条件,那么第一信息也可以携带第三条件,表明网络设备指示修改满足第三条件的上行资源,而如果网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源都能够满足第三条件,且第一信息携带第三条件,也就表明第一信息指示修改该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源。例如对于第一终端设备,在接收第一信息后,只要确定网络设备为第一终端设备配置的第一上行资源满足第三条件,就可以修改第一上行资源,当然,第一终端设备修改的是第一上行资源中满足第三条件的上行资源,第一上行资源中满足第三条件的上行资源可以包括第一上行资源的部分或全部。具体的修改方式的信息可以一并包括在第一信息中,第一终端设备根据第一信息既可以确定是否需修改第一上行资源,也可以确定应如何修改第一上行资源,或者网络设备也可以通过其他信息发送具体的修改方式的信息,或者修改方式的信息也可以通过协议规定。
第三条件例如包括传输块大小大于(或等于)第一阈值,和/或,对于一个数据的重复传输次数大于(或等于)第二阈值,当然第三条件还可能包括其他条件,具体的不做限制。例如,第三条件包括传输块大小大于(或等于)第一阈值这一条件,如果一份上行资源对应的传输块大小大于(或等于)第一阈值,表明该上行资源是较多的,那么网络设备可以通过第一信息来指示修改该上行资源,例如可以缩短该上行资源的有效期,使或者可以减小该上行资源的带宽,或者可以减小该上行资源对应的传输块大小等,通过这些方式可以 使得该上行资源变小,从而可以挪出一部分上行资源用于其他传输。
第一条件、第二条件和第三条件,三者可以相同,或者也可以各不相同,或者其中的任意两种条件可以相同,而另一种条件不同。
如果所述的一份或多份上行资源包括该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的部分的上行资源,第一信息可以包括相应的上行资源的索引。例如第一信息可以包括至少一个第三索引,也就表明网络设备指示修改至少一个第三索引所对应的至少一份上行资源。例如对于第一终端设备,在接收第一信息后,只要确定网络设备为第一终端设备配置的第一上行资源对应的第三索引包括在第一信息中,就可以修改第一上行资源,当然,第一终端设备修改的是第一上行资源中对应于第三索引的上行资源,第一上行资源中对应于第三索引的上行资源可以包括第一上行资源的部分或全部。具体的修改方式的信息可以一并包括在第一信息中,第一终端设备根据第一信息既可以确定是否需修改第一上行资源,也可以确定应如何修改第一上行资源,或者网络设备也可以通过其他信息发送具体的修改方式的信息,或者修改方式的信息也可以通过协议规定。
或者,如果所述的一份或多份上行资源包括该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的部分的上行资源,第一信息也可以携带第三条件,表明网络设备指示修改满足第三条件的上行资源。例如对于第一终端设备,在接收第一信息后,只要确定网络设备为第一终端设备配置的第一上行资源满足第三条件,就可以修改第一上行资源,当然,第一终端设备修改的是第一上行资源中满足第三条件的上行资源,第一上行资源中满足第三条件的上行资源可以包括第一上行资源的部分或全部。具体的修改方式的信息可以一并包括在第一信息中,第一终端设备根据第一信息既可以确定是否需修改第一上行资源,也可以确定应如何修改第一上行资源,或者网络设备也可以通过其他信息发送具体的修改方式的信息,或者修改方式的信息也可以通过协议规定。
另外,在本申请实施例中已有介绍,网络设备如果通过广播消息发送第一信息,那么可以将第一信息携带在一条广播消息中广播,例如携带在MIB或SIB中。例如,如果网络设备要指示释放该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源,且第一信息通过1比特实现,那么第一信息所占用的空间较小,可以携带在MIB或SIB中。
或者,网络设备可以将第一信息携带在至少两条广播消息中广播。例如,可以在MIB中通过1个或多个比特指示是否开启了资源释放和/或禁用功能,以及在SIB中携带第一信息。
例如,第一信息通过1比特实现,那么可以在MIB中通过1个或多个比特指示是否开启了资源释放和/或禁用功能,以及在SIB中携带该1比特的第一信息。需要说明的是,通常情况下SIB的变化会导致MIB中的值标签(ValueTag)变化,以便终端设备可以通过检查MIB中的ValueTag决定是否更新或读取其他的SIB。如果MIB中通过1个或多个比特指示是否开启了资源释放和/或禁用功能,第一信息作为SIB的一部分,可以不影响MIB中的ValueTag变化。这样的好处是避免其他没有配置所述上行资源的终端设备因为所述上行资源的释放和/或禁用而更新系统消息。
或者,如果网络设备将第一信息携带在至少两条广播消息中广播,网络设备也可以将第一信息的一部分携带在一条广播消息中,以及将第一信息的剩余的部分携带在另一条广播消息中,这种情况可以适用于第一信息包括的内容较多的场景。
例如,第一信息包括至少一个第一索引和/或至少一个第二索引(其中,如果第一信息包括至少一个第一索引和至少一个第二索引,那么至少一个第一索引所对应的上行资源和至少一个第二索引所对应的上行资源可以是不同的,以免对于相同的上行资源,如果既指示释放又指示禁用,可能会导致终端设备无法执行),那么第一信息包括的一部分内容可以位于MIB中,第一信息包括的剩余的内容可以位于SIB中。例如,第一信息包括至少一个第一索引,则第一信息包括的至少一个第一索引中的一部分第一索引可以位于MIB中,第一信息包括的至少一个第一索引中的剩余的第一索引可以位于SIB中;或者,第一信息包括至少一个第二索引,则第一信息包括的至少一个第二索引中的一部分第二索引可以位于MIB中,第一信息包括的至少一个第二索引中的剩余的第二索引可以位于SIB中;或者,第一信息包括至少一个第一索引和至少一个第二索引,则第一信息包括的至少一个第一索引可以位于MIB中,第一信息包括的至少一个第二索引可以位于SIB中。或者,第一信息包括第一指示,用于指示是否释放或禁用所有上行资源,第一指示可以位于MIB中。至少一个第一索引和至少一个第二索引位于SIB中。在这种实施方式下,如果网络设备释放或禁用全部上行资源,则只发送MIB中的第一指示。如果网络设备释放或禁用部分上行资源,则进一步通过SIB指示。
或者,第一信息包括第一条件和/或第二条件(其中,如果第一信息包括第一条件和第二条件,那么第一条件所对应的上行资源和第二条件所对应的上行资源可以是不同的,以免对于相同的上行资源,如果既指示释放又指示禁用,可能会导致终端设备无法执行),那么第一信息包括的一部分内容可以位于MIB中,第一信息包括的剩余的内容可以位于SIB中。例如,第一信息包括第一条件,则第一信息包括的第一条件中的一部分信息可以位于MIB中,第一信息包括的第一条件中的剩余的信息可以位于SIB中;或者,第一信息包括第二条件,则第一信息包括的第二条件中的一部分消息可以位于MIB中,第一信息包括的第二条件中的剩余的信息可以位于SIB中;或者,第一信息包括第一条件和第二条件,则第一信息包括的第一条件可以位于MIB中,第一信息包括的第二条件可以位于SIB中。
S34、第一终端设备根据所述第一信息的指示,确定是否释放或禁用第一上行资源。第一上行资源也就是网络设备配置给第一终端设备的,用于第一终端设备在空闲态下发送上行数据的上行资源。
第一终端设备在接收第一信息后,如果根据第一信息的指示确定需禁用网络设备为第一终端设备所配置的第一上行资源,那么第一终端设备可以禁用第一上行资源;或者,如果根据第一信息的指示确定需释放网络设备为第一终端设备所配置的第一上行资源,那么第一终端设备可以释放第一上行资源。
例如,如果第一信息指示释放该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源,则终端设备根据第一信息可以确定需释放第一上行资源;或者,如果第一信息指示禁用该网络设备所配置的用于终端设备在空闲态下进行上行传输的全部的上行资源,则终端设备根据第一信息可以确定需禁用第一上行资源。
或者,如果第一信息包括至少一个第一索引,那么终端设备确定第一上行资源对应的第一索引是否属于至少一个第一索引,如果第一上行资源对应的第一索引属于至少一个第一索引,终端设备确定需释放第一上行资源;或者,如果第一信息包括至少一个第二索引,那么终端设备确定第一上行资源对应的第二索引是否属于至少一个第二索引,如果第一上行资源对应的第一索引属于至少一个第二索引,终端设备确定需禁用第一上行资源。当然, 第一上行资源对应的第一索引属于至少一个第一索引,可以理解为,属于至少一个第一索引的第一索引对应的上行资源可以是第一上行资源的部分或全部;第一上行资源对应的第二索引属于至少一个第二索引,可以理解为,属于至少一个第二索引的第二索引对应的上行资源可以是第一上行资源的部分或全部。
或者,如果第一信息包括第一条件,那么终端设备确定第一上行资源是否满足第一条件,如果第一上行资源满足第一条件,终端设备确定需释放第一上行资源;或者,如果第一信息包括第二条件,那么终端设备确定第一上行资源是否满足第二条件,如果第一上行资源满足第二条件,终端设备确定需禁用第一上行资源。当然,第一上行资源满足第一条件,可以理解为,满足第一条件的上行资源可以是第一上行资源的部分或全部;第一上行资源满足第二条件,可以理解为,满足第二条件的上行资源可以是第一上行资源的部分或全部。
在终端设备确定释放第一上行资源后,终端设备可以释放第一上行资源,以不通过第一上行资源发送上行数据,或者,在终端设备确定禁用第一上行资源后,终端设备可以禁用第一上行资源,以不通过第一上行资源发送上行数据。
当然,如果网络设备是禁用第一上行资源,那么后续还可能启用第一上行资源。例如网络设备可以预先配置第一时长,或者网络设备可以在禁用第一上行资源时指示第一时长,或者第一时长也可以通过协议规定,终端设备在禁用第一上行资源时可以启动定时器,该定时器的定时时长就是第一时长,在第一时长内终端设备禁用第一上行资源,而在该定时器超时时,终端设备可以再次启用第一上行资源。或者网络设备在禁用第一上行资源后,如果确定终端设备可以重新启用第一上行资源,那么网络设备可以再次发送信息,例如网络设备发送第三信息,第三信息用于指示重新启用至少一份上行资源,至少一份上行资源可以是配置给一个或多个终端设备的。第一终端设备接收第三信息后,如果确定第一上行资源属于至少一份上行资源,就可以重新启用第一上行资源。第三信息例如可以包括在系统消息中发送,或者通过寻呼方式发送,具体的不做限制。
在释放或禁用第一上行资源后,终端设备可以不发送上行数据,或者也可以通过其他方式发送上行数据。例如可以通过EDT的方式发送,此时,终端设备可以跳过随机接入过程中的Msg1和Msg2这两个步骤,而是直接向网络设备发送Msg3,通过Msg3携带该上行数据。或者终端设备还可以采用随机接入的方式,在接入该网络设备后向该网络设备发送上行数据。
或者,终端设备根据第一信息还有可能确定不释放和/或不禁用第一上行资源。
例如,如果第一信息包括至少一个第一索引,那么终端设备确定第一上行资源对应的第一索引是否属于至少一个第一索引,如果第一上行资源中有上行资源对应的第一索引不属于至少一个第一索引,终端设备确定无需释放该上行资源,和/或,如果第一信息包括至少一个第二索引,那么终端设备确定第一上行资源对应的第二索引是否属于至少一个第二索引,如果第一上行资源中有上行资源对应的第二索引不属于至少一个第二索引,终端设备确定无需禁用该上行资源。其中,第一上行资源中对应的第一索引不属于至少一个第一索引的上行资源,可以是第一上行资源的部分或全部;第一上行资源中对应的第二索引不属于至少一个第二索引的上行资源,可以是第一上行资源的部分或全部。
或者,如果第一信息包括第一条件,那么终端设备第一上行资源是否满足第一条件,如果第一上行资源中有上行资源不满足第一条件,终端设备确定无需释放该上行资源;或 者,如果第一信息包括第二条件,那么终端设备确定第一上行资源是否满足第二条件,如果第一上行资源中有上行资源不满足第二条件,终端设备确定无需禁用该上行资源。其中,第一上行资源中不满足第一条件的上行资源,可以是第一上行资源的部分或全部;第一上行资源中不满足第二条件的上行资源,可以是第一上行资源的部分或全部。
例如,第一条件为传输块大小大于或等于第一阈值,第一上行资源包括两份上行资源,分别为上行资源1和上行资源2,其中的一上行资源1对应的传输块大小小于第一阈值,其中的上行资源2对应的传输块大小大于第一阈值,第一终端设备可以确定第一上行资源中的上行资源2满足第一条件,需要被释放,而上行资源1不满足第一条件,无需被释放。
如果网络设备只是指示释放上行资源,则如果终端设备确定无需释放第一上行资源的部分或全部,终端设备就可以继续通过第一上行资源中未被释放的上行资源向网络设备发送上行数据;或者,如果网络设备只是指示禁用上行资源,则如果终端设备确定无需禁用第一上行资源的部分或全部,终端设备就可以继续通过第一上行资源中未被释放的上行资源向网络设备发送上行数据;或者,如果网络设备会指示释放和禁用相应的上行资源,则如果终端设备确定对于第一上行资源的部分或全部,既无需释放也无需禁用,终端设备就可以继续通过第一上行资源中未被释放也未被禁用的上行资源向网络设备发送上行数据。
例如,网络设备发送的第一信息包括至少一个第一索引和至少一个第二索引,通过至少一个第一索引指示释放对应的至少一份上行资源,以及通过至少一个第二索引指示释放对应的至少一份上行资源(与至少一个第一索引对应的至少一份上行资源可以是不同的),那么网络设备就是既指示释放也指示禁用。第一上行资源包括四份上行资源,分别为上行资源1、上行资源2、上行资源3和上行资源4,终端设备确定上行资源1对应的第一索引属于至少一个第一索引,而上行资源2对应的第一索引、上行资源3对应的第一索引和上行资源4对应的第一索引均不属于至少一个第一索引,以及确定上行资源2对应的第二索引和上行资源4对应的第二索引属于至少一个第二索引,而上行资源1对应的第二索引和上行资源3对应的第二索引均不属于至少一个第二索引,那么网络设备确定需释放上行资源1,以及需禁用上行资源2和上行资源4,而上行资源3就是既无需释放也无需禁用的。则终端设备就可以继续通过上行资源3向网络设备发送上行数据。
终端设备如果继续通过第一上行资源的部分或全部向网络设备发送上行数据,那么在上行数据发送完毕之后第一终端设备可以监听PDCCH等,具体过程可参考图1中的S13和S14等的介绍,不多赘述。
为了更好地理解本申请实施例提供的技术方案,请再参考如下的图4、图5和图6,通过这几个附图所示的例子可以较为完整地介绍本申请实施例提供的资源管理方法。其中,在图4的示例中,是以网络设备通过广播方式发送第一信息为例,在图5和图6的两个示例中,是以网络设备通过寻呼方式发送第一信息为例。另外,图5是以通过用于调度寻呼消息的DCI或寻呼消息发送第一信息为例,图6是以通过以第一RNTI加扰的DCI或PDSCH发送第一信息为例。
如图4所示,在第一终端设备与网络设备的RRC连接中,S41为,网络设备向第一终端设备发送第二信息,终端设备接收来自网络设备的第二信息。第二信息用于为第一终端设备配置第一上行资源,另外,图4以第二信息还用于为第一终端设备配置第一索引和第二索引为例。其中,第一上行资源可以是周期性的,第一终端设备在处于RRC空闲态时可以使用第一上行资源。

如图5所示,在第一终端设备与网络设备的RRC连接中,S51为,网络设备向第一终端设备发送第二信息,终端设备接收来自网络设备的第二信息。第二信息用于为第一终端设备配置第一上行资源,另外,图5以第二信息还用于为第一终端设备配置第一索引和第二索引为例。其中,第一上行资源可以是周期性的,第一终端设备在处于RRC空闲态时可以使用第一上行资源。
接着,网络设备如果确定释放或禁用一份或多份上行资源,则会发送第一信息,图5以网络设备通过寻呼方式发送第一信息为例。另外,在网络设备以寻呼方式发送第一信息时,网络设备可以将第一信息携带在用于调度寻呼消息的DCI中发送,或者也可以将第一信息携带在DCI中发送。那么接下来将要介绍的S52和S53,就是以网络设备将第一信息携带在DCI中发送为例,而S54和S55是以网络设备将第一信息携带在寻呼消息中发送为例,可以理解为,S52和S53,与S54和S55,是两种可选的实施方式,网络设备可以从这两种方式中选择一种来应用。具体选择哪种,可以由网络设备自行确定,并通知终端设备,或者也可以通过协议规定。
例如S52为,网络设备将第一信息携带在DCI中,在寻呼时机发送承载该DCI的PDCCH,第一信息用于指示是否释放或禁用一份或多份上行资源。其中,该DCI通过P-RNTI加扰。对于第一终端设备来说,S52是,第一终端设备在寻呼时机监听PDCCH。

S55,网络设备根据调度信息发送寻呼消息,寻呼消息中包括第一信息,第一终端设备接收来自网络设备的寻呼消息,获得寻呼消息包括的第一信息。
接下来是S56,如果第一终端设备根据系统消息包括的第一信息确定需释放或禁用第一上行资源,则第一终端设备释放或禁用第一上行资源。另外还包括S57,如果第一终端设备释放或禁用第一上行资源,则第一终端设备可以不发送该上行数据,或者可以使用随机接入或EDT等方式发送该上行数据。
S58是与S56并列的方案,如果第一终端设备根据系统消息包括的第一信息确定无需 释放也无需禁用第一上行资源,则第一终端设备通过第一上行资源发送上行数据。
S59,第一终端设备监听PDCCH。
S60,在接收完上行数据后,网络设备向终端设备发送RRC信令,例如称为第二RRC信令,终端设备接收来自网络设备的第二RRC信令。
关于S59~S60,可参考对于图1所示的实施例中的S12~S14的介绍。
如图6所示,在第一终端设备与网络设备的RRC连接中,S61为,网络设备向第一终端设备发送第二信息,终端设备接收来自网络设备的第二信息。第二信息用于为第一终端设备配置第一上行资源,另外,图6以第二信息还用于为第一终端设备配置第一索引和第二索引为例,以及,第二信息还用于配置第一RNTI。其中,第一上行资源可以是周期性的,第一终端设备在处于RRC空闲态时可以使用第一上行资源。
接着,网络设备如果确定释放或禁用一份或多份上行资源,则会发送第一信息,图6以网络设备通过寻呼方式发送第一信息为例。另外,在网络设备以寻呼方式发送第一信息时,网络设备可以将第一信息携带在用于调度PDSCH的DCI(是通过第一RNTI加扰的)中发送,或者也可以将第一信息携带在该DCI中发送。那么接下来将要介绍的S62和S63,就是以网络设备将第一信息携带在DCI中发送为例,而S64和S65是以网络设备将第一信息携带在PDSCH中发送为例,可以理解为,S62和S63,与S64和S65,是两种可选的实施方式,网络设备可以从这两种方式中选择一种来应用。具体选择哪种,可以由网络设备自行确定,并通知终端设备,或者也可以通过协议规定。
例如S62为,网络设备将第一信息携带在DCI中,通过第一RNTI对承载该DCI的PDCCH加扰,在寻呼时机发送该PDCCH,第一信息用于指示是否释放或禁用一份或多份上行资源。对于第一终端设备来说,S62是,第一终端设备在寻呼时机监听PDCCH。
S63,第一终端设备从接收的PDCCH承载的DCI中获得第一信息。其中,第一终端设备接收PDCCH后,确定该PDCCH是通过第一RNTI加扰,则可以从DCI中获得第一信息。

接下来是S66,如果第一终端设备根据系统消息包括的第一信息确定需释放或禁用第一上行资源,则第一终端设备释放或禁用第一上行资源。另外还包括S67,如果第一终端设备释放或禁用第一上行资源,则第一终端设备可以不发送该上行数据,或者可以使用随机接入或EDT等方式发送该上行数据。

S69,第一终端设备监听PDCCH。
S70,在接收完上行数据后,网络设备向终端设备发送RRC信令,例如称为第二RRC信令,终端设备接收来自网络设备的第二RRC信令。
关于S69~S70,可参考对于图1所示的实施例中的S12~S14的介绍。
在本申请实施例中,可以为终端设备分配用于终端设备在空闲态下发送上行数据的上 行资源,从而终端设备在空闲态下可以利用所分配的上行资源来发送上行数据,而通过这些上行资源能够发送的上行数据相较于通过EDT方式发送的上行数据来说,数量可以是较多的,从而能够满足终端设备在RRC空闲态下传输数据的需求。另外,例如在网络负载较重时,网络设备可以确定释放或禁用至少一份上行资源,那么网络设备可以广播第一信息,通过第一信息可以指示释放或禁用至少一份上行资源,从而终端设备在接收第一信息后就可以根据第一信息的指示,释放或禁用相应的上行资源,以将上行资源用于该网络设备的其他调度。可见,通过本申请实施例提供的技术方案,网络设备可以对配置给终端设备的用于终端设备在空闲态下传输的上行资源实现较为灵活的管理,从而网络设备在需要调度上行资源时也可以调度这些上行资源,增加了网络设备管理资源的合理性,也提高了网络设备调度资源的灵活性,能够尽量保证该网络设备覆盖下的通信过程的正常进行,减少业务传输失败或拥塞等问题出现的概率,也提高了资源的利用率。
