Most of the time, when there is no data interaction between the terminal and the network, if the terminal continues to monitor PDCCH messages, it will consume more power. Discontinuous reception technology allows the terminal to enter sleep mode periodically at certain times. The time period during which the terminal is in the dormant state is called the dormant period. During the dormant period, the terminal does not monitor PDCCH messages but needs to monitor.

Description
本申请涉及通信领域,尤其涉及一种非连续接收的方法、装置和系统。
随着移动通信技术的发展,通信速率和容量需求日益增长。第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd generation partnership project,3GPP)在下一代演进的新无线电(new radio,NR)系统中,将高频频段纳入系统设计的考虑范围内。为了在高频场景下对抗路径损耗,会更多地采用波束赋形(beamforming)技术来提高增益。由于波束的指向性较强,发射端设备的不同发射波束与接收端设备的不同接收波束,可以分别组成不同的波束对链接(beam pair link)以用于通信,并且通过不同的波束对链接来通信的质量可能有所差异。
现有技术中,终端可以通过波束扫描以确定最优接收波束来接收信号。具体地,参见图1-1所示,以下行链路为例,基站的发射波束集合中有发射波束1、发射波束2以及发射波束3,终端的接收波束集合中有接收波束a、接收波束b以及接收波束c。基站可以通过在一定的时间间隔内依次通过发射波束1至发射波束3来发射信号,以覆盖一定区域内的终端。终端也可以通过在一定的时间间隔内依次通过接收波束a至接收波束c来接收由上述不同发射波束所重复发送的相同信号,以在上述接收波束集合中确定最优接收波束,并确定最优波束对链接。
无线通信过程中,终端需要一直监听物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel,PDCCH),然后根据监听的PDCCH接收到网络侧发送的指示消息对下行数据进行接收。但是,由于网络侧并不总是在发送数据,终端一直监听PDCCH的方式造成终端的功耗浪费。为此,3GPP标准协议在长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)系统中引入了非连续接收(discontinuous reception,DRX)技术。在非连续接收技术中,终端可周期性地进入激活期和休眠期,并且只能在激活期内进行波束扫描或接收信号,进而降低功耗。当终端的位置发生变化(如旋转或平移)时,通过之前所确定的最优接收波束来接收信号可能会造成接收失败。

下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本申请一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例,本领域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,都属于本申请保护的范围。
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”、“第三”、“第四”等(如果存在)是用于区别类似的对象,而不必用于描述特定的顺序或先后次序。应该理解这样使用的数据在适当情况下可以互换,以便这里描述的实施例能够以除了在这里图示或描述的内容以外的顺序实施。此外,术语“包括”和“具有”以及他们的任何变形,意图在于覆盖不排他的包含,例如,包含了一系列步骤或单元的过程、方法、系统、产品或设备不必限于清楚地列出的那些步骤或单元,而是可包括没有清楚地列出的或对于这些过程、方法、产品或设备固有的其它步骤或单元。
如图1-1所示,无线通信系统00包括无线网络设备01和终端02,其中无线网络设备和终端的数量均可以是一个或多个。
无线网络设备01可以是LTE系统、NR系统或者授权辅助接入长期演进(authorized auxiliary access long-term evolution,LAA-LTE)系统中的演进型基站(evolutional node B,eNB)宏基站、微基站(也称为“小基站”)、微微基站、接入站点(access point,AP)、传输站点(transmission point,TP)或gNB等。
终端02可为移动台(mobile station,MS)、移动终端(mobile terminal)、智能终端等,其中,终端设备可以经无线接入网(radio access network,RAN)与一个或多个核心网进行通信。例如,终端设备可以是移动电话(或称为“蜂窝”电话)、具有移动终端的计算机等,终端设备还可以是便携式、袖珍式、手持式、计算机内置的或者车载的移动装置以及未来NR网络中的终端设备,它们与无线接入网交换语音或数据。对终端设备的说明:本申请中,终端设备还可以包括中继Relay,和基站可以进行数据通信的都可以看为终端设备,本申请中将以一般意义上的终端来介绍。
终端无论是处于空闲(idle)态、连接(connected)态或非激活(inactive)态,如果没有上述非连续接收的机制,就会一直监听下行PDCCH消息,查看是否有来自服务小区的信息。大多时候,终端并不是一直在和网络进行有效信息的交互,不会总是执行上传或者下载业务,通话时也不会一直有语音数据的传输。大多数的时间,在终端和网络是没有 数据交互的情况下,如果终端还去持续的监听PDCCH消息,较为费电的。非连续接收技术可以让终端周期性的在某些时候进入休眠状态(sleep mode),终端处于休眠状态的时间段称为休眠期,终端在休眠期不会去监听PDCCH消息,而需要监听的时候,则从休眠状态中唤醒(wake up),即退出休眠期。具体地,基带处理器在休眠期可以休眠,处于非工作状态,甚至相应的射频接收通路也可以处于关闭状态,直到激活期再进入工作状态,这样就可以使终端达到省电的目的。
请参考图1-2所示,基站首先确定寻呼时机(paging occasion,PO),如图1-3所示,基站根据PO确定非连续接收的休眠期和激活期,并将非连续接收的休眠期和激活期发送给终端,终端接收来自网络的下行消息,下行消息用于向终端指示非连续接收的激活期和休眠期。在一些可能的实现方式中,下行消息在PDCCH上承载的为非连续接收配置消息,或下行消息为物理下行控制信道承载(physical broadcast channel,PBCH)上承载的系统信息块(system information block,SIB),此处不做限定。终端通过DCCH上承载的为非连续周期配置消息或PBCH上承载的系统信息块,以及国际移动用户识别码(international mobile subscriber identification number,IMSI)等信息确定PO的时域位置以及非连续接收的休眠期和激活期。
需要说明的是,基站可以根据寻呼时机(paging occasion,PO)确定非连续接收的休眠期和激活期,并将指定的非连续接收的休眠期和激活期发送给对应终端。一般的,如图1-4所示,PO在非连续接收的激活期,假设T_po为PO对应的开始时间节点,则终端需要在T_po时刻前进入激活期,以接收基站发送的寻呼消息。终端从休眠期退出,到恢复接收电路,直至进入激活期,以正常接收寻呼信息,需要一定的处理时长,即在T_po之前,终端还需要一定的处理时间,这段时间称为提前唤醒期,提前唤醒期的时长称为提前唤醒时长Ta。
当前,在终端进入休眠期之前,可以通过硬件配置延迟和网络情况估计Ta,然后根据Ta确定需要休眠时长Ts,并设置时长为Ts的定时器,然后进入休眠期,当Ts结束,终端退出休眠期。可以理解的是,在处于休眠期时,终端的部分电路电流比较小,较为平稳,只保留必要的功能或部件,例如保留微控制单元(Microcontroller Unit,MCU)处于工作状态,对应于基带处理器的部分电路处于休眠状态,电流较小,以降低功耗;在终端从休眠期进入激活期的过程中,终端的部分电路电流可能突然变大或逐渐变大,以用于更多功能的开启,例如开启接收电路接收寻呼信号。
在如图1-1所示的无线通信系统中,无线网络设备01可以为新一代基站(new generation node B,gNB),gNB和终端是采用阵列天线形成接收和发射波束的以实现与终端额无线通信的,可以使得波束的指向性更强,以使得终端可获得阵列增益和减少干扰。gNB形成的发射波束包括发射波束1、发射波束2和发射波束3,终端形成的发射波束包括接收波束a、接收波束b和接收波束c,如图1-1所示,gNB通过的发射波束2与终端通过的接收波束b进行通信,可以使得终端接收消息的信号质量良好。
如图1-5所示,如果终端第i个非连续接收的激活期使用接收波束b,但是如果进入休眠期后终端发送了旋转,那么对于第i+1个非连续接收的激活期,终端的接收波束b的指向发生了改变,通过接收波束b来接收信号,可能会导致终端对gNB接收消息的信号质 量大大降低。
另外,由于5G的高频场景下,通信工作频段约为28G-39G之间,电磁波的绕射能力相对3G频段电磁波的绕射能力降低。如图1-6所示,如果终端第i个非连续接收的激活期使用接收波束b,信号质量的值达到最大,但是在休眠期中发生了移动,使得在第i+1个非连续接收的激活期,接收波束b的信号质量值减弱,导致终端对gNB接收消息的信号质量大大降低。
应理解,当终端因运动状态发生变化或终端周围通信环境变化,通过所述终端之前确定的最优接收波束来接收寻呼消息,对应接收信号的信号质量可能较差,可能会造成寻呼消息的接收失败。在所述终端进入激活期后,重新确定所述终端的最优接收波束,通过所述重新确定的最优接收波束来接收寻呼信号,对应的信号质量最佳,降低寻呼消息接收失败的风险。
为此,本申请实施例提供了一种非连续接收的方案,包括非连续接收的方法、装置和系统,用于根据终端的运动状态的变化,或接收信号质量的变化,在网络指示的休眠期结束前,提前进入激活期。
在本申请中,给出下列几种提前进入激活期的示例性设计。例如,具体提前多久进入激活期可以通过两种因素分别确定,分别是传感信息和信号质量历史信息。以下通过两个实施例分别进行描述,其中,实施例一为通过传感信息确定提前多久进入激活期的实现方式,实施例二为通过信号质量历史信息确定提前多久进入激活期的实现方式。
实施例一,请参考图2-1,本申请提供了一种非连续接收的方法,用于在下行消息指示的休眠期结束前,根据传感信息提前进入非连续接收的激活期,所述非连续接收包括网络指示的终端的休眠期和激活期,所述方法包括:
201、根据所述终端的运动状态,确定提前唤醒所述终端的时长。
在本申请实施例中,所述运动状态信息来自与所述接收单元耦合的传感器。如图2-2所示,所述终端包括基带处理器和微处理器,其中该微处理器,也可以称作协处理器,或者称作低功耗微处理器,还可以称作微处理单元,本申请中也可以是指传感器集线器Sensor hub。在物理实现中,微处理器可集成在SoC芯片内部,也可以不与SoC芯片集成。
其中,基带处理器在所述终端进入非连续接收的休眠期时进入休眠状态,但是微处理器在所述终端进入非连续接收的休眠期时仍处于工作状态。其中,所述微处理器包括定时器和传感器。在本申请实施例中,终端通过内置的传感器获取所述运动状态信息。
如上所述,若在终端休眠期进行了旋转或者移动,可能将导致信号质量降低,则传感信息可以包括移动距离和旋转角度。
应理解,所述传感器的传感信息可以是传感器测量得到的所述终端的运动状态信息,例如,陀螺仪所测得的旋转角度。所述第一处理单元可以根据上述信息,确定所述终端的运动状态。或者,所述运动状态信息,还可以是传感器根据所测量得到的所述终端的运动状态信息进一步计算得到的指示信息,所述指示信息可以用于指示所述终端的运动状态。例如,高电平代表第一运动状态,低电平代表第二运动状态,零电平代表运动状态未发生改变。
以传感信息为旋转角度或位移距离为例,以下分别进行描述。
1、旋转角度。
预先设定第一旋转角度和第二旋转角度,其中,第一旋转角度大于第二旋转角度,比如第一旋转角度为60°,第二旋转角度为30°,如果在终端休眠期的旋转角度超过60°,则确定为第一运动状态;如果在终端休眠期的旋转角度超过30°而不超过60°,则确定为第二运动状态。
这里,旋转可以理解为水平旋转。也可以拓展至垂直翻转。
2、位移距离。
预先设定第一位移距离和第二位移距离,其中,第一位移距离大于第二位移距离,比如第一位移距离为10米,第二位移距离为5米,如果在终端休眠期的位移距离超过10米,则确定为第一运动状态;如果在终端休眠期的旋转角度超过5米而不超过10米,则确定为第二运动状态。
如果终端既不属于第一运动状态要不属于第二运动状态,则可以认为其运动状态未发生改变。
在本申请实施例中,假设在终端的休眠期的信号质量不变,那么提前唤醒所述终端的时长为默认时长Ta0,其中,Ta0为终端根据当前环境的信号质量情况和终端的硬件配置确定的应用提前唤醒终端的时长。然而,Ta0仅够终端恢复接收电路,由于在终端的休眠期的接收信号质量的变化,终端需要额外时长,以进行波束扫描来确定最优接收波束,则额外时长为进行波束扫描所需要的时长。则提前唤醒所述终端的时长为Ta0加上额外时长的总时长。
需要说明的是,终端的接收信号质量可以通过获取信噪比(signal to noise ratio,SNR)、信干噪比(signal to interference and noise ratio,SINR)、接收信号码功率(received signal code power,RSCP)、参考信号接收功率(reference signal receiving power,RSRP)、接收信号强度指示(received signal strength indicator,RSSI)以及参考信号接收质量(reference signal receiving quality,RSRQ)中的一个或多个来确定终端的接收信号质量,此处不做限定。
其中,波束扫描包括全局扫描或邻域扫描,全局扫描可理解为在所述终端提前进入激活期的所述时长内,在所述终端的全部接收波束中重新确定最优接收波束;邻域扫描可理解为在所述终端提前进入激活期的所述时长内,在所述终端之前确定的最优接收波束的相邻的接收波束中,重新确定最优接收波束。
以如图2-3所示的场景为例,终端的接收波束有8个,假设每扫描一个接收波束需要10毫秒(ms),则全局扫描需要波束扫描8个接收波束,需要至少80ms的时长;假设邻域扫描为扫描接收波束b的左右两边各一个接收波束,则可以为波束扫描2个接收波束,需要20ms的时长。
应理解,终端的历史信号质量信息可以对应于不同的情况,当终端的历史信号质量非常差时,可以在终端的全部接收波束中确定最优接收波束;当终端的历史信号质量较差或者一般时,可以在终端之前确定的最优接收波束相邻的接收波束中,重新确定最优接受波束。通过上述方案,自适应地根据终端不同的历史信号质量信息,选择不同的提前进入激 活期的时长,可以在提高寻呼信号的接收质量或接收成功率的同时,降低功耗。
需要说明的是,若确定终端需要进行全局扫描,那么额外时长包括进行全局扫描所需要的时长;若确定终端需要进行邻域扫描,那么额外时长包括进行邻域扫描所需要的时长;若确定不需要进行波束扫描,那么额外时长为0或者不包括波束扫描时长。
以下对邻域扫描和全局扫描所需要的时长的计算方法进行描述。
设Ta(n_Sweeping)为邻域扫描所需要的时长,设邻域扫描所需要波束扫描的接收波束的个数为k,设Ta(g_Sweeping)为全局扫描所需要的时长,设行全局扫描所需要波束扫描的结束波束的个数为m,设每扫描一个接收波束所需要的时长为Ty,则Ta(n_Sweeping)至少需要k*Ty的时长,Ta(g_Sweeping)至少需要m*Ty的时长,可以理解的,m大于k,则Ta(g_Sweeping)大于Ta(n_Sweeping)。
需要说明的是,终端是根据gNB下发的主同步/辅同步/PBCH块(PSS/SSS PBCH block,SSB)进行波束扫描的,如图2-4所示(一种同步信号块的结构示意图),在5G的通信系统中,主同步信号(primary synchronization signal)、辅同步信号(secondary synchronization signal)和物理广播信道(physical broadcast channel)共同组成一个SSB。一个SSB在时域上共占用4个正交频分复用(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing,OFDM)符号,在频域中共占用240个连续的子载波,即20个物理资源块(physical resource block)。SSB的子载波间隔可以取值为15千赫兹(KHz)、30KHz、120KHz、240KHz中的一个。其中,15KHz、30KHz用于6吉赫兹(GHz)以下频段,120KHz、240KHz用于6GHz以上频段。
图2-5为本申请实施例所提供的一种同步信号突发集的结构示意图。如图2-5上半部分所示,一个同步信号突发集(synchronization signal burst set,SS burst set)可以由至多L(L≥1)个SSB组成,并且同步信号突发集可以被周期性地发射。L的取值与所在频段有关,在6GHz以下频段中L取值最大可以为8,在6GHz以上频段中L取值最大可以为64。对于一个同步信号突发集内的SSB应在5ms的窗口时间内发射。在初始驻留阶段,同步信号突发集根据预定义的同步信号突发集周期(default SS burst set period)进行发射,其中,一般的,SSB周期可以默认为20ms。
如图2-5下半部分所示,无线网络设备可以采用不同的发射波束方向来依次发射同步信号突发集发射周期内的不同编号的SSB,还可以采用相同的发射波束方向来依次发射同步信号突发集发射周期间的相同编号的SSB。应理解,本申请实施例中的不同编号的同步信号块还可以理解成支持不同方向的发射波束扫描。在6GHz以下频段可以使能基站支持最多8个发射波束扫描,在6GHz以上频段中可以使能基站支持最多64个发射波束扫描。
终端可以通过不同的波束对链接所接收到的SSB信号强度可能有所差异,为了选取最优接收波束或最优波束对链接,通过相应接收波束来接收下行信号,以保障接收信号质量,处于空闲态(idle)或去激活态(inactive)的终端在一定时长内按照预定方式接收并测量相应的SSB,并根据各接收波束或各波束对链接所对应的测量结果来确定最优接收波束。
结合图1-1举例,对于下行链路,终端可配接收波束a、接收波束b以及接收波束c, 来分别依次接收基站所周期性发送的至少三个同步信号突发集中的不同SSB,并测量各接收波束所接收到的SSB。若每个同步信号突发集中都有L个SSB,则每个接收波束至多对应L个SSB测量结果。根据对应的测量结果(例如,信干噪比)来确定最优接收波束。
在一些可能的实现方式中,SSB周期的窗口时间的时长的可配置的值包括:5,10,20,40,80,160(单位:ms)。例如,选择的SSB周期的配置的值为10ms,则SSB的窗口时间的时长为5ms,非窗口时间的时长为5ms,则SSB周期的时长Tssb为10ms。由于终端只能在SSB周期的窗口时间进行波束扫描,如图2-6所示(为SSB周期的示意图),则需要进行领域扫描的时长为k个SSB周期中的窗口时间的时长,即k*5ms,但是由于不能跳过非窗口时间,因此需要计算完整的SSB周期的时长,即k*Tssb,由于最后一个SSB周期的非窗口时间是不需要的,只需要其窗口时间的时长,所以进行邻域扫描为k-1个完整的SSB周时间加上最后一个SSB周期的窗口时间的时长,得到:
Tssb*(k-1)+5ms
另外,由于当前时刻并非一定SSB周期的窗口时间的开始时间点,而若非SSB周期的窗口时间的开始时间点不能进行波束扫描,则需要将当前时刻到未来最近的一个SSB周期的窗口时间的开始时间点的时间差ΔT也算进去,则最终确定进行邻域扫描所需要的时长为:
Ta(n_sweeping)=Tssb*(k-1)+5ms+ΔT
一般的,如果,可以设选择了的配置的值为X,则最终确定进行邻域扫描所需要的时长为:
Ta(n_sweeping)=Tssb*(k-1)+X+ΔT
同理可得,确定进行全局扫描所需要的时长为:
Ta(g_Sweeping)=Tssb*(m-1)+X+ΔT
例如,Tssb等于10ms,进行邻域扫描所需要扫描的波束个数为2个,SSB周期的窗口时间的时长X等于5ms,且当前时刻到未来最近的一个SSB周期的窗口时间的开始时间点的时间差ΔT为1ms,则:
Ta(n_sweeping)
=Tssb*(k-1)+X+ΔT
=10*(2-1)+5ms+1ms
=16ms
进行全局扫描所需要扫描的波束个数为8个,则进行
Ta(g_sweeping)
=Tssb*(m-1)+X+ΔT
=10*(8-1)+5ms+1ms
=76ms
通过以上计算,即得到邻域扫描所需要的时长Ta(n_sweeping)以及全局扫描所需要的时长Ta(g_sweeping),则进行全局扫描、邻域扫描或不进行波束扫描的情况下的总时长,分别为Ta1、Ta2和Ta3:
Ta1=Ta0+Ta(g_sweeping)
Ta2=Ta0+Ta(n_sweeping)
Ta3=Ta0
以此分别计算得到进行全局扫描、邻域扫描或不进行波束扫描所需要的时长。
在一些可能的实现方式中,在所述终端处于第一运动状态时,确定提前唤醒所述终端的时长为第一时长;或者,在所述终端处于第二运动状态时,确定提前唤醒所述终端的时长为第二时长;其中,所述第一时长与所述第二时长不同。
应理解,根据终端不同的运动状态,确定不同的提前进入激活期的时长。例如,终端的运动状态变化较大,可以更早一些进入激活期,以重新确定最优接收波束,或重新进行电路配置。通过上述方案,自适应地根据终端不同的运动状态,选择不同的提前进入激活期的时长,可以在提高寻呼信号的接收质量或接收成功率的同时,降低功耗。
其中,第一时长为进行全局扫描所需要的时长,第二时长为进行邻域扫描所需要的时长。
若终端处于第一运动状态,则确定需要进行全局扫描,则可以确定总时长为:
Ta=Ta0+Ta(g_sweeping)
若终端处于第二运动状态,若确定需要进行邻域扫描,那么总时长为:
Ta=Ta0+Ta(n_sweeping)
若确定不需要进行波束扫描,那么总时长为:
Ta=Ta0
例如,默认时长为10ms,进行邻域扫描所需要的时长为16ms,进行全局扫描所需要的时长为76ms,则若确定需要进行全局扫描,那么总时长为:
Ta=Ta0+Ta(g_sweeping)=10ms+76ms=176ms
若确定需要进行邻域扫描,那么总时长为:
Ta=Ta0+Ta(n_sweeping)=10ms+16ms=26ms
通过以上计算方法即可确定提前唤醒所述终端的时长。
202、所述终端在所述网络指示的休眠期结束前,提前所述时长进入激活期。
在本申请实施例中,当确定提前唤醒所述终端的总时长后,可以根据总时长设置定时器。
需要说明的是,若终端在进入休眠期的过程中,所处环境的信号质量不变,则可以使用Ta0作为总时长Ta,然后根据Ta0确定休眠时长Ts。具体的,如图2-7所示,终端在进入休眠期前,获取当前时间点T_c,然后计算休眠时长Ts:
Ts=T_po-T_c-Ta
其中,T_po-T_c表示PO的开始时间点离当下的时长,Ta表示总时长,由于假设终端在进入休眠期的过程中,所处环境的信号质量不变,则可以使用Ta0作为总时长Ta,即Ta等于Ta0,则T_po-T_c-Ta表示休眠时长。最后,将该Ts配置到定时器中,终端即进入休眠期。在Ts结束时,终端退出休眠期。当终端退出休眠期时,终端距离T_po还有Ta0的时长,用于恢复接收电路。需要说明的是,定时器可以为芯片的一种功能,即同软件实现的,也可以为终端或芯片中的一个硬件实体,此处不做限定。
举例说明,比如T_c为16时43分0秒,下一个PO的开始时间点T_po(即第i+1个非连续接收的激活期的开始时间点)为16时43分0秒640ms(或16时43分1秒280ms,常用的非连续周期为640ms或1280ms不等,在此以640ms为例),则T_po-T_c等于640ms,若Ta等于10ms,则Ts等于T_po-T_c-Ta,即等于630ms,即终端在进入休眠期之前,可以设置定时器的时长为630ms。
需要说明的是,若终端在进入休眠期的过程中,所处环境的信号质量改变,则可以在Ta0的基础上加上额外时长,得到总时长Ta,然后根据Ta确定休眠时长Ts。
如图2-8所示(为计算额外提前唤醒时长的示意图),在本申请实施例中,终端进入休眠期前(即当前时刻T_c)到下一个DRX周期的T_po之间的时间差(T_c-T_po),再减去总提前唤醒时长(包括Ta0和额外提前唤醒时长),则得到终端在当前DRX周期的休眠时长Ts。
即计算:
Ts=T_po-T_c-Ta
例如,T_c为晚上19点29分0秒,T_po为晚上19点29分0秒640ms,Ta等于176ms,则:
Ts=T_po-T_c-Ta
=640ms-176ms
=464ms
最后,将该Ts值配置到定时器中,终端则进入休眠期,这样,当终端在进入休眠期,经过Ts结束后,终端从休眠期退出,此时距离下一个T_po的时长还有Ta,则终端有足够的时间恢复接收电路(利用Ta0),以及在有需要的时候(信号质量不佳时)进行全局扫描或邻域扫描(利用额外提前唤醒时长)。
在一些可能的实现方式中,由于不确定需要进行全局扫描、邻域扫描或不进行波束扫描,因此终端可以在进入休眠期之前,可以分别设置多个定时器,再通过运动信息确定需要启用哪个定时器。如图2-9所示(为设置多个定时器的示意图),终端设置了3个定时器,该三个定时器的时长分别为Ts1、Ts2和Ts3,终端即可进入休眠期。
其中,需要进行全局扫描、邻域扫描或不进行波束扫描的情况下的休眠时长分别为Ts1、Ts2和Ts3:
Ts1=T_po-T_c–Ta1
Ts2=T_po-T_c–Ta2
Ts3=T_po-T_c–Ta3
其中,进行全局扫描、邻域扫描或不进行波束扫描的情况下的额外时长分别为Ta1、Ta2和Ta3:
Ta1=Ta0+Ta(g_sweeping)
Ta2=Ta0+Ta(n_sweeping)
Ta3=Ta0
在终端处于休眠期,若确定需要进行全局扫描,则启用休眠时长为Ts1的定时器作为 定时器,而关闭休眠时长为Ts2和Ts3的定时器;若确定需要进行邻域扫描,则启用休眠时长为Ts2的定时器作为定时器,而关闭休眠时长为Ts1和Ts3的定时器;若确定不需要进行波束扫描,则启用休眠时长为Ts3的定时器作为定时器,而关闭休眠时长为Ts1和Ts2的定时器。
需要说明的是,若Ts1结束时,仍未确定使用启用休眠时长为Ts1的定时器作为定时器,则可以认为不需要进行全局扫描,则关闭休眠时长为Ts1的定时器。同样的,在关闭了前述定时器的前提下,若Ts2结束时,仍未确定使用启用休眠时长为Ts2的定时器作为定时器,则可以认为不需要进行邻域扫描,则关闭休眠时长为Ts2的定时器。若前述两个定时器均关闭了,则可以认为不需要进行波束扫描,则启用休眠时长为Ts3的定时器作为定时器。
在一些可能的实现方式中,还可以通过另一种方式设置定时器。具体的,在终端进入休眠期之前,设定时长为默认时长的第一定时器,然后终端进入休眠期。在休眠期,终端获取传感信息,根据传感信息确定终端的运动状态(第一运动状态还是第二运动状态还是运动状态未改变),以确定是否需要进行波束扫描,如果需要进行波束扫描,是进行全局扫描还是邻域扫描。
如图2-10,若需要进行全局扫描,则设置定时器的时长Ts(new)为:
Ts(new)=Ts(time left)-Ta(g_sweeping)
若需要进行邻域扫描,则该新的定时器的时长Ts(new)为:
Ts(new)=Ts(time left)-Ta(n_sweeping)
若不需要进行邻域扫描,则不需要设定该新的定时器。
通过上述设置定时器的方法,不需要设置多个定时器。
203、在所述终端提前进入激活期的所述时长内,重新确定最优接收波束,所述最优接收波束用于接收寻呼消息。
应理解,当终端因运动状态发生变化,通过所述终端之前确定的最优接收波束来接收寻呼消息,对应接收信号的信号质量可能较差,可能会造成寻呼消息的接收失败。在所述终端进入激活期后,重新确定所述终端的最优接收波束,通过所述重新确定的最优接收波束来接收寻呼信号,对应的信号质量最佳,降低寻呼消息接收失败的风险。
进一步地,一种可能的实施方式中,所述第二处理单元,还用于在所述终端提前进入激活期的所述时长内,在所述终端之前确定的最优接收波束相邻的接收波束中,重新确定最优接收波束。
应理解,若终端的运动状态变化较小,可以从之前确定的最优接收波束所相邻的接收波束中,重新确定最优接收波束。以减少确定最优接收波束的时间,降低功耗。
进一步地,一种可能的实施方式中,所述第二处理单元,还用于在所述终端提前进入激活期的所述时长内,在所述终端的全部接收波束中重新确定最优接收波束。
应理解,通过上述方案可以更准确地找到最优接收波束,提高寻呼信号的接收质量或接收成功率。
具体地,参见图1-1所示,以下行链路为例,基站的发射波束集合中有发射波束1、 发射波束2以及发射波束3,终端的接收波束集合中有接收波束a、接收波束b以及接收波束c。基站可以通过在一定的时间间隔内依次通过发射波束1至发射波束3来发射信号,以覆盖一定区域内的终端。终端也可以通过在一定的时间间隔内依次通过接收波束a至接收波束c来接收由上述不同发射波束所重复发送的相同信号,以在上述接收波束集合中确定最优接收波束,并确定最优波束对链接。
比如,终端形成的接收波束有8个,如图2-3所示(为终端的多个接收波束的示意图),分别是接收波束a、接收波束b、接收波束c、接收波束d、接收波束e、接收波束f、接收波束g和接收波束h,其中接收波束b是在前一个非连续接收的激活期中与gNB对齐的,用于接收gNB下发的寻呼消息的波束。全局扫描即对8个接收波束依次进行波束扫描,以确定信号质量最好的接收波束,并选择该接收波束作为下一个非连续接收的激活期中接收gNB下发的寻呼消息的接收波束。邻域扫描即对接收波束b旁边的接收波束a和接收波束c进行波束扫描,或者在此基础上在增加接收波束h和接收波束d,以确定信号质量较好的接收波束,并选择该接收波束作为下一个非连续接收的激活期中接收gNB下发的寻呼消息的接收波束。一般的,若确定信号质量很差,可以认为接收波束b与gNB的发射波束偏离较大,因此需要进行全局扫描;若确定信号质量较差,可以认为接收波束b与gNB的发射波束偏离较小,则可以使用邻域扫描;若确定信号质量良好,可以认为接收波束b与gNB的发射波束没有偏离,或者偏离较小可以忽略不计,则可以不进行波束扫描。
应理解,当终端的历史信号质量不好时,可以推测当前终端的通信环境发生了变化,通过之前确定的最优接收波束来接收寻呼信号,对应的信号质量可能依然较差,可能会造成寻呼消息的接收失败。在所述终端进入激活期后,重新确定所述终端的最优接收波束,通过所述重新确定的最优接收波束来接收寻呼信号,对应的信号质量最佳,降低寻呼消息接收失败的风险。
在所述终端提前进入激活期的所述时长内,在所述终端之前确定的最优接收波束相邻的接收波束中,重新确定最优接收波束。
应理解,终端的历史信号质量信息可以对应于不同的情况,当终端的历史信号质量非常差时,可以在终端的全部接收波束中确定最优接收波束;当终端的历史信号质量较差或者一般时,可以在终端之前确定的最优接收波束相邻的接收波束中,重新确定最优接受波束。通过上述方案,自适应地根据终端不同的历史信号质量信息,选择不同的提前进入激活期的时长,可以在提高寻呼信号的接收质量或接收成功率的同时,降低功耗。
在所述终端提前进入激活期的所述时长内,在所述终端的全部接收波束中重新确定最优接收波束。
应理解,通过上述方案可以更准确地找到最优接收波束,提高寻呼信号的接收质量或接收成功率。
上面描述了通过传感信息确定提前多久进入激活期的实现方式,下面描述通过信号质量历史信息确定提前多久进入激活期的实现方式。
实施例二,请参考图3,本申请实施例提供了一种非连续接收的方法,包括:
301、根据所述终端的历史信号质量信息,确定提前唤醒所述终端的时长。
在本申请实施例中,为了应对睡眠过程中终端所处环境的信号质量较大变化而产生需要进行波束扫描的情况,除了默认时长之外,终端需要额外时长。在本申请实施例中,可以通过信号质量历史信息确定额外时长,信号质量历史信息为在终端多个DRX周期的激活期中收集得到的信号质量的集合。例如信号质量历史信息包括在终端5个DRX周期的激活期收集得到的信号质量(SNR),分别为-86、-100、-89、-90、-75(单位:分贝毫瓦dBM)。
应理解,还可以根据终端的信号质量历史信息,确定提前进入激活期的时长,进而设置定时器来提前唤醒终端。所述定时器可以是软件定时器,或者硬件定时器,也可以是软件与硬件结合的定时器。
应理解的是,执行上述步骤的装置可以是微处理器,或者SoC芯片。应理解,根据所述终端的历史信号质量,确定是否需要提前唤醒所述终端,预留更多的准备时间,降低了错过寻呼消息或寻呼消息接收失败的概率。
在本申请实施例中,终端可以根据信号质量历史信息确定信号质量,从而确定需要进行邻域扫描、全局扫描还是不扫描,最终确定额外时长。具体的,可以通过下述多个因素中的一个或多个确定需要进行全局扫描、邻域扫描或不扫描。
1、DRX周期的时长。
在一些可能的实现方式中,可以预先设置第一预设时长和第二预设时长,其中第一预设时长(如2秒)比第二预设时长(如1秒)较长。
如图2-2所示(为根据DRX周期的时长确定是否需要进行波束扫描的示意图),若DRX周期的时长超过第一预设时长,则可以认为在足够久的时间里,其信号质量大概率会发生改变,则有较大可能变得较差,则确定终端需要进行全局扫描;若DRX周期的时长未超过第一预设时长而超过第二预设时长,则其信号质量可能会发生改变,但是又不至于大改变,那么可以确定需要进行邻域扫描;若DRX周期的时长未超过第二预设时长,则可以认为在短时间内,信号质量不会发生较大的改变,则确定不需要进行波束扫描。
2、信号质量历史信息中的信号质量信息的数量。
在一些可能的实现方式中,可以预先设置第一预设数量和第二预设数量,其中第一预设数量(如100)比第二预设数量多(如60)。
如图2-3所示(为根据信号质量信息的数量确定是否需要进行波束扫描的示意图),若信号质量历史信息中的信号质量信息的数量小于第二预设数量,则可以认为信号质量历史信息中没有足够的信息量可以判断终端所处环境的信号质量是否良好或稳定,则终端可以确定需要进行全局扫描;若信号质量历史信息中的信号质量信息的数量大于第二预设数量而小于第一预设数量,则可以认为虽然有一定数量的信息,但是仍然不足以判定终端所处环境的信号质量是否良好或稳定,则终端可以确定进行邻域扫描;若信号质量历史信息中的信号质量信息的数量大于第一预设数量,则可以认为有足够数量的信息判断终端所处环境的信号质量是否良好或稳定,则可以确定不进行波束扫描。
3、信号质量历史信息中的信号质量方差。
在一些可能的实现方式中,若信号质量历史信息显示终端的接收信号质量是稳定的,则不需要进行波束扫描,如果是不稳定的,则需要进行全局扫描或邻域扫描,如果非常不 稳定,则确定需要进行全局扫描。此处所指的稳定,可以通过信号质量方差来确定。
具体的,可以首先预设的第一预设方差和第二预设方差,其中,第一预设方差(如100)大于第二预设方差(如60)。
计算信号质量历史信息中终端的接收信号质量的信号质量方差,如图2-4所示(为根据信号质量方差确定是否需要进行波束扫描的示意图),若信号质量方差大于第一预设方差,则可以认为终端的接收信号质量非常不稳定,则需要进行全局扫描;若信号质量方差大于第二预设方差而小于第一预设方差,则可以认为终端的接收信号质量较为不稳定,则需要进行邻域扫描;若信号质量方差小于第二预设方差,则可以认为终端的接收信号质量较为稳定,则不需要进行波束扫描。
4、通过终端的接收信号质量历史信息中的信号质量的预设平均值判断。
预设第一预设平均值和第二预设平均值,其中第一预设平均值(如-70dBM)优于第二预设平均值(如-90dBM)。计算终端的接收信号质量历史信息中信号质量的预设平均值,如图2-5所示(为根据信号质量的平均值确定是否需要进行波束扫描的示意图),若信号质量预设平均值大于第一预设平均值,则可以确定终端的接收信号质量良好,则不需要进行波束扫描;若信号质量预设平均值小于第一预设平均值大于第二预设平均值,则可以确定终端的接收信号质量一般,则需要进行邻域扫描;若信号质量预设平均值小于第二预设平均值,则可以确定终端的接收信号质量不佳,则需要进行全局扫描。
以上四种判断方式,可以取其中的一种或多种进行判断。需要说明的是,除了上述四种方式,还可以有其他方式判断是否需要进行全局扫描或邻域扫描,此处不做限定。
可选的,可以同时使用上述四种方式进行判断,若存在一种判断方式确定使用全局扫描,则使用全局扫描;若任意没有一种判断方式确定使用全局扫描,而至少有一种判断方式确定使用邻域扫描,则使用邻域扫描;若4种判断方式均确定不扫描,则确定不扫描。
具体的,对于进行邻域扫描、全局扫描所需要的时长的计算方法与步骤201中的计算方法相同,且对于需要进行邻域扫描、全局扫描或不进行波束扫描的情况下的总时长也与步骤201中的计算方法相同,此处不做赘述。
302、所述终端在网络指示的休眠期结束前,提前所述时长进入激活期。
在本申请实施例中,当确定提前唤醒所述终端的总时长后,在进入休眠期之前,终端可以确定根据总时长确定休眠时长,并设置以所述休眠时长为时长的定时器。
具体的,计算休眠时长的方法与与步骤204相同,此处不做赘述。
303、在所述终端提前进入激活期的所述时长内,重新确定最优接收波束,所述最优接收波束用于接收寻呼消息。
步骤303与步骤203相同,此处不做赘述。
