Description

一种唤醒信号的检测方法及装置 技术领域
本申请涉及无线通信技术领域,特别涉及一种唤醒信号的检测方法及装置。
背景技术
在第五代移动通信技术(5th generation,5G)新空口(new radio,NR)系统中可能会引入基于物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel,PDCCH)的唤醒信号(wake up signal,WUS),也就是说,WUS信号可以复用现有的PDCCH,终端设备通过检测相应的PDCCH来获取网络设备发送的WUS信号。此外,WUS信号可以与无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)连接态下的非连续接收(discontinuous reception,DRX)机制相结合。对于支持WUS信号的终端设备,网络设备可以为终端设备以DRX的形式发送WUS信号。
基于PDCCH的WUS信号在预先定义的搜索空间集合(search space set)中发送,搜索空间集合在时频资源上具有预先配置好的带宽和发送周期,该搜索空间集合的发送周期可包括1到2560个时隙。在一个搜索空间集合的发送周期中,可以有一个或连续的多个时隙用于发送PDCCH,在一个发送PDCCH的时隙内部,PDCCH可占用该时隙中的1到3个符号,这些符号称为一个PDCCH检测时机(PDCCH monitoring occasion)。网络设备可配置一个搜索空间集合的发送周期中发送PDCCH的时隙,以及每个发送PDCCH的时隙中PDCCH的具体符号位置。
针对处于DRX状态的终端设备,可指定激活时间DRX ON之前的一段时间为WUS信号的接收时间窗口,终端设备在该接收时间窗口中的PDCCH检测时机上检测WUS信号。若在该接收时间窗口内检测到WUS信号,终端设备需要在对应的DRX ON唤醒,若终端设备在该接收时间窗口内没有检测到WUS信号,终端设备在对应的DRX ON可继续休眠。
由于接收时间窗口的配置仅依赖于接收时间窗口本身的时间长度、以及该接收时间窗口相对于DRX ON的时间偏移量,与搜索空间集合的发送周期相独立,因此,一个WUS信号的接收时间窗口中可能包括多个搜索空间集合的发送周期,进一步会使得接收时间窗口中包括的PDCCH检测时机较多。若终端设备在接收时间窗口内的全部PDCCH检测时机上检测WUS信号,则会导致较大的功耗,减小功率节省增益。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供一种唤醒信号的检测方法及装置,用以降低终端设备检测WUS信号时的功耗。
第一方面,本申请实施例提供一种唤醒信号的检测方法,该方法可以由终端设备执行,也可以由终端设备中的装置(例如处理器和/或芯片)执行,该方法包括:终端设备确定在激活时间DRX_ON之前的N个物理下行控制信道PDCCH检测时机,终端设备在该N个PDCCH检测时机中的M个PDCCH检测时机上检测唤醒信号WUS,M小于N,且N、M均为大于1的正整数。
采用本申请提供的技术方案,终端设备可在激活时间DRX_ON之前的N个PDCCH检测时机中的部分PDCCH检测时机上检测WUS信号,从而有效降低终端设备的功耗,提高功率节省增益。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的一种可能的设计中,所述M个PDCCH检测时机为N个PDCCH检测时机中距离DRX_ON最近的M个PDCCH检测时机,如此,可最小化终端设备在唤醒时间DRX_ON之前唤醒检测WUS信号的时间,从而有效终端设备的功耗,提高功率节省增益;
或者,所述M个PDCCH检测时机为N个PDCCH检测时机中距离DRX ON最远的M个PDCCH检测时机,如此,可有效降低终端设备漏检WUS信号的可能性,降低因漏检WUS信号而带来的调度延时。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的一种可能的设计中,若所述M个PDCCH检测时机为N个PDCCH检测时机中距离DRX ON最远的M个PDCCH检测时机,且终端设备在该M个PDCCH检测时机上没有检测到WUS,则终端设备继续在剩余的N-M个PDCCH检测时机上检测WUS,直至检测到WUS或检测完剩余的N-M个PDCCH检测时机。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的一种可能的设计中,终端设备可根据预设的映射规则,从N个PDCCH检测时机中确定所述M个PDCCH检测时机,预设的映射规则用于确定在N个PDCCH检测时机中的每个PDCCH检测时机上是否检测WUS,如此,可有效提高终端设备在M个PDCCH检测时机上检测WUS信号的灵活性。

可以看出,终端设备采用这种映射规则来确定需要检测的M个PDCCH检测时机,可使得不同终端设备对应的M个PDCCH检测时机在不同时隙间随机化,避免数量较多的终端设备的WUS信号需要挤占同一时隙发送,从而使得网络设备的下行空口资源的占用更加均衡。

采用本申请提供的技术方案,网络设备配置终端设备在激活时间DRX_ON之前的N个PDCCH检测时机中的部分PDCCH检测时机上检测WUS信号,如此,可有效降低终端设备的功耗,提高功率节省增益。
结合第二方面,在第二方面的一种可能的设计中,所述M个PDCCH检测时机为N个PDCCH检测时机中距离DRX_ON最近的M个PDCCH检测时机,如此,可最小化终端设备在唤醒时间DRX_ON之前唤醒检测WUS信号的时间,从而有效终端设备的功耗,提高功率节省增益;
或者,所述M个PDCCH检测时机为N个PDCCH检测时机中距离DRX ON最远的M个PDCCH检测时机,如此,可有效降低终端设备漏检WUS信号的可能性,降低因漏检WUS信号而带来的调度延时。
结合第二方面,在第二方面的一种可能的设计中,网络设备可根据预设的映射规则,从N个PDCCH检测时机中确定所述M个PDCCH检测时机,预设的映射规则用于确定在N个PDCCH检测时机中的每个PDCCH检测时机上是否需要终端设备检测WUS。如此,可有效提高终端设备在M个PDCCH检测时机上检测WUS信号的灵活性。
结合第二方面,在第二方面的一种可能的设计中,所述映射规则满足如下关系:
f=(UE id-index)mod(X)
其中,UE id为终端设备或终端设备组的标识,index为PDCCH检测时机的序号,mod表示取模,X为检测间隔,f为实数,当f的取值为零值时,表示终端设备需要在该PDCCH检测时机上检测WUS,当f的取值为非零值时,表示终端设备不需要在该PDCCH检测时机上检测WUS。
可以看出,网络设备采用这种映射规则来确定终端设备需要检测的M个PDCCH检测时机,可使得不同终端设备对应的M个PDCCH检测时机在不同时隙间随机化,避免数量较多的终端设备的WUS信号需要挤占同一时隙发送,从而使得网络设备的下行空口资源的占用更加均衡。

请参考图2,为本申请实施例提供的一种唤醒信号的检测方法的流程示意图,该方法具体包括如下的步骤S201至步骤S204:
步骤S201、网络设备确定在激活时间DRX_ON之前的N个PDCCH检测时机。
步骤S202、网络设备向终端设备发送第一指示信息,所述第一指示信息用于指示所述终端设备在该N个PDCCH检测时机中的M个PDCCH检测时机上检测WUS信号,其中M小于N,N、M均为大于1的正整数。
步骤S203、终端设备确定在激活时间DRX_ON之前的N个PDCCH检测时机。
步骤S204、终端设备在N个PDCCH检测时机中的M个PDCCH检测时机上检测WUS信号。
本申请实施例中,终端设备为处于RRC连接态的终端设备,可选的,该终端设备为配置有功率节省功能或激活了功率节省功能的终端设备。网络设备可以为该终端设备配置DRX的处理流程。如图3所示,在DRX机制下,时间被划分为一个个的DRX周期(DRX cycle),终端设备在每个DRX周期的时间起始位置会开启一个持续时间定时器(drx-on Duration Timer)。在该持续时间定时器的运行时间范围内,终端设备不断尝试检测PDCCH。如果终端设备在持续时间定时器的运行时间范围内检测到PDCCH,终端设备会开启一个非激活定时器(drx-Inactivity Timer)。如果终端设备在该非激活定时器的运行时间范围内继续检测到PDCCH,终端设备会重置该非激活定时器,重新开始计数。如果非激活定时器正在运行,那么即使原来配置的持续时间定时器超时,终端设备仍然要继续检测PDCCH,直至非激活定时器超时。只要持续时间定时器或非激活定时器中的任一个定时器正在运行,终端设备就处于激活时间,并需要不断检测PDCCH。激活时间也可以称为“DRX ON”、“on duration”、“active time”或激活期,或者也可以具有其他名称,本申请并不限定。为了描述清楚,下文中将激活时间统一称作“DRX ON”。终端设备处于激活时间,也可以理解为终端设备处于激活状态或者处于唤醒状态或者进入了唤醒模式。
如果终端设备在持续时间定时器的运行时间范围内没有检测到PDCCH,那么在持续时间定时器超时后,终端设备将进入休眠模式,即终端设备在该DRX周期的其他时间处于休眠时间,可以关闭射频收发器和基带处理器等通信器件,从而降低功耗。本申请实施例中,所述休眠时间也可以称为“DRX_OFF”、sleep或休眠期,或者也可以具有其他名称,本申请并不限定。终端设备处于休眠时间,也可以理解为终端设备处于休眠状态或者处于DRX状态或者进入了休眠模式。如果终端设备在持续时间定时器的运行时间范围内检测到PDCCH,那么终端设备将在开启的非激活定时器超时后,进入休眠模式。
考虑到数据传输在时间上往往具有突发性和稀疏性,如果网络设备在激活时间DRX ON中对终端设备没有任何数据调度的话,对终端设备来说就产生了不必要的能量消耗。为了降低功耗,网络设备可根据调度数据的需求,决定是否在激活时间DRX ON之前为终端设备发送WUS信号。如果终端设备在激活时间DRX ON之前没有检测到WUS信号,或者终端设备检测到的WUS信号指示该终端设备在对应的激活时间DRX ON内没有数据调度时,终端设备可直接进入休眠状态,就不用在激活时间DRX ON内检测PDCCH了。如果终端设备在激活时间DRX ON之前检测到WUS信号,或者终端设备检测到的WUS信号用于指示该终端设备在对应的激活时间DRX ON内有数据调度时,终端设备就需要在激活时间DRX ON到来前唤醒,按照前面所述的DRX机制启动定时器,检测PDCCH。
本申请实施例中,WUS信号承载于PDCCH之上,所述N个PDCCH检测时机即为位于激活时间DRX ON之前的N个用于检测WUS信号的PDCCH检测时机。应理解,一个PDCCH检测时机上可能存在网络设备发送的WUS信号,也可能不存在网络设备发送的WUS信号。网络设备是否在N个PDCCH检测时机上发送WUS信号,是由激活时间DRX ON内是否存在该终端设备的数据调度,以及终端设备配置的功率节省功能等多种因素决定的。
需要说明的是,所述WUS信号可以是发送给一个终端设备的WUS信号,称为终端设备专用的PDCCH唤醒信号(UE-specific WUS)。该WUS信号也可以是针对一个终端设备 组的WUS信号,称为终端设备组PDCCH唤醒信号(Group-based PDCCH WUS)。由于一个终端设备组中可包括多个终端设备,此时,本申请实施例中的上述步骤S201至步骤S204中提及的终端设备可以为该终端设备组中的任一终端设备。
在步骤S201中,网络设备可将距离激活时间DRX ON一定时间偏移量offset之前的N个连续的PDCCH检测时机,确定为所述N个PDCCH检测时机,如图4所示。所述N个PDCCH检测时机可以理解为,可能存在WUS信号发送的PDCCH检测时机或是有效的(valid)PDCCH检测时机。相应地,网络设备还可向终端设备发送第二指示信息和/或第三指示信息,用以指示该N个PDCCH检测时机的位置。
在一种可能的设计中,第二指示信息可用于指示所述N值和所述时间偏移量offset,第三指示信息可用于指示PDCCH检测时机的配置参数,该PDCCH检测时机的配置参数可包括搜索空间集合search space set的发送周期、每个search space set的发送周期中用于发送PDCCH检测时机的开始时隙、每个search space set的发送周期中连续发送PDCCH检测时机的时隙的数量、每个发送PDCCH检测时机的时隙中发送PDCCH检测时机的起始符号、每个发送PDCCH检测时机的时隙中连续发送PDCCH检测时机的符号的数量中的一项或多项信息。
在另一种可能的设计中,所述N个PDCCH检测时机可以位于WUS信号的接收时间窗口内。如图5所示,该WUS信号的接收时间窗口位于激活时间DRX之前,且接收时间窗口的结束时间与激活时间DRX ON的开始时间之间的距离为时间偏移量offset。本申请实施例中,WUS信号的接收时间窗口还可以称为搜索时间窗口(WUS search window)、检测时间窗口(WUS monitoring window)或WUS时刻(WUS occasion),本申请并不限定。
在这一情形下,网络设备也可以向终端设备发送第二指示信息和/或第三指示信息。此时,第二指示信息用于指示WUS信号的接收时间窗口的配置参数,以便终端设备确定该WUS信号的接收时间窗口的位置。该WUS信号的接收时间窗口的配置参数可包括接收时间窗口的结束时间至激活时间DRX ON的开始时间之间的时间偏移量、以及接收时间窗口的时间长度。或者,该WUS信号的接收时间窗口的配置参数可包括接收时间窗口的结束时间至激活时间DRX ON的开始时间之间的时间偏移量、以及接收时间窗口的开始时间至激活时间DRX ON的开始时间之间的时间偏移量。
类似地,第三指示信息用于指示PDCCH检测时机的配置参数,该PDCCH检测时机的配置参数可包括搜索空间集合search space set的发送周期、每个search space set的发送周期中用于发送PDCCH检测时机的开始时隙、每个search space set的发送周期中连续发送PDCCH检测时机的时隙的数量、每个发送PDCCH检测时机的时隙中发送PDCCH检测时机的起始符号、每个发送PDCCH检测时机的时隙中连续发送PDCCH检测时机的符号的数量中的一项或多项信息。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中的第二指示信息和第三指示信息可通过高层信令(例如RRC信令、MAC信令或物理层信令)、下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)、系统广播消息等多种方式发送,而且第二指示信息与第三指示信息的发送方式可以相同,也可以不相同,本申请并不限定。若第二指示信息与第三指示信息的发送方式相同,那么第二指示信息与第三指示信息可以在同一条消息中发送,也可以在不同的消息中发送,本申请同样不作限定。可选的,网络设备可在终端设备进入休眠状态之前发送该第二指示信息和/或第三指示信息。
在步骤S202中,网络设备可向终端设备发送第一指示信息,该第一指示信息用于指示终端设备在N个PDCCH检测时机中的M个PDCCH检测时机上检测WUS信号。本申请实施例中,M、N均为大于1的正整数,且M小于等于N。因此,第一指示信息也可以理解为,用于指示终端设备在N个PDCCH检测时机中的部分PDCCH检测时机上检测WUS信号。进一步地,第一指示信息也可以理解为,用于指示终端设备最多在N个PDCCH检测时机中的M个PDCCH检测时机上检测WUS信号,因为终端设备一旦在M个PDCCH检测时机中的任一PDCCH检测时机上检测到WUS信号后,便可确认需要在激活时间DRX ON中唤醒并检测PDCCH,而不需要再继续检测WUS信号。
可选的,网络设备还可在第一指示信息中指示所述M个PDCCH检测时机的具体位置或者终端设备确定所述M个PDCCH检测时机的预设规则。
本申请实施例中,第一指示信息同样可通过高层信令(例如RRC信令、MAC信令或物理层信令)、下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)、系统广播消息等多种方式发送,本申请并不限定。
可以理解,本申请实施例中,网络设备可以在所述N个PDCCH检测时机中的部分或全部PDCCH检测时机上发送WUS信号,也可以在所述M个PDCCH检测时机中的部分或全部PDCCH检测时机上发送WUS信号。例如,网络设备可在所述M个PDCCH检测时机上的每个PDCCH检测时机上均发送WUS信号,并通过指示信息的方式告知终端设备WUS信号的发送方式,如此,可有效提高终端设备检测WUS信号的可靠性,降低终端设备的功耗。再例如,网络设备可在所述M个PDCCH检测时机中的任一个或多个PDCCH检测时机上发送WUS信号,并通过指示信息的方式告知终端设备WUS信号的发送方式,如此,可有效减小网络设备发送WUS信号的资源开销,但要求终端设备对M个PDCCH检测时机进行逐一检测。
在步骤S203中,终端设备可根据从网络设备接收到的第二指示信息和/或第三指示信息,确定N个PDCCH检测时机。考虑到本申请实施例中的第三指示信息均用来指示PDCCH检测时机的配置参数,但第二指示信息具有不同的实现方式,因此,在一种可能的设计中,如图4所示,若第二指示信息用于指示N值和时间偏移量offset,那么终端设备可直接将距离激活时间DRX ON时间偏移量offset之前的N个PDCCH检测时机,确定为所述N个PDCCH检测时机。
在另一种可能的设计中,若第二指示信息用于指示WUS信号的接收时间窗口的配置参数,那么终端设备可根据第二指示信息中的接收时间窗口的结束时间至激活时间DRX ON的开始时间之间的时间偏移量、以及接收时间窗口的时间长度,或者接收时间窗口的结束时间至激活时间DRX ON的开始时间之间的时间偏移量、以及接收时间窗口的开始时间至激活时间DRX ON的开始时间之间的时间偏移量,确定该WUS信号的接收时间窗口的具体位置,进而结合第三指示信息中指示的PDCCH检测时机的配置参数,确定该WUS信号的接收时间窗口内的N个PDCCH检测时机。
在步骤S204中,终端设备可在N个PDCCH检测时机中的M个PDCCH检测时机上检测WUS信号。
在一种可能的设计中,所述M个PDCCH检测时机可以为N个PDCCH检测时机中距离激活时间DRX ON最近的M个PDCCH检测时机。例如,在图6a中,WUS信号的接收时间窗口中包括4个PDCCH检测时机,如果M取值为2,那么距离激活时间DRX ON最 近的M个PDCCH检测时机是指WUS信号的接收时间窗口内最右边的2个PDCCH检测时机。可以看出,终端设备在WUS信号的接收时间窗口内的距离激活时间DRX ON最近的M个PDCCH检测时机上检测WUS信号,可最小化终端设备在WUS信号的接收时间窗口内被唤醒的时间,从而有效降低终端设备的功耗。
在一种可能的设计中,所述M个PDCCH检测时机也可以为N个PDCCH检测时机中距离激活时间DRX ON最远的M个PDCCH检测时机。例如,在图6b中,WUS信号的接收时间窗口中包括4个PDCCH检测时机,如果M取值为2,那么距离激活时间DRX ON最远的M个PDCCH检测时机是指WUS信号的接收时间窗口内最左边的2个PDCCH检测时机。
如果终端设备在该M个PDCCH检测时机中检测到了WUS信号,终端设备可在检测到WUS信号之后,至激活时间DRX ON之间的这段时间内进入微睡眠状态,从而有效降低功耗,等到激活时间DRX ON到来时再唤醒,检测PDCCH。如果终端设备在该M个PDCCH检测时机中没有检测到WUS信号,那么终端设备可继续在剩余的N-M个PDCCH检测时机上检测WUS信号,直至检测到WUS信号或检测完剩余的N-M个PDCCH检测时机。可以看出,终端设备在WUS信号的接收时间窗口内的距离激活时间DRX ON最远的M个PDCCH检测时机上检测WUS信号,可以有效降低WUS信号被漏检的可能性,降低因终端设备没有检测到WUS信号而带来的调度延时。
在又一种可能的设计中,终端设备也可以根据预设的映射规则,从N个PDCCH检测时机中确定出M个PDCCH检测时机,进而再在确定的M个PDCCH检测时机上检测WUS信号。
所述预设的映射规则用于针对N个PDCCH检测时机中的每个PDCCH检测时机,判断是否在该PDCCH检测时机上检测WUS信号。该预设的映射规则可以与终端设备的标识、以及PDCCH检测时机的序号相关,可以为以终端设备的标识和PDCCH检测时机的序号或者为自变量的函数,即f(UE id,index)。如果f(UE id,index)=true,则表示在该PDCCH检测时机上检测WUS信号,如果f(UE id,index)=false,则表示不在该PDCCH检测时机上检测WUS信号。可以理解,该函数中还可以包括一个或多个其它参数的自变量,本申请并不限定。
例如,预设的映射规则可以满足如下关系:
f=(UE id-index)mod(X)   公式一
其中,UE id为终端设备或终端设备所在的终端设备组的标识,index为PDCCH检测时机的序号,mod表示取模,X为检测间隔,f为实数,当f的取值为零值时,表示终端设备需要在该PDCCH检测时机上检测WUS信号,当f的取值为非零值时,表示终端设备不需要在该PDCCH检测时机上检测WUS信号。
如图6c所示,若检测间隔X取值为2,那么终端设备将每隔一个PDCCH检测时机检测一次WUS信号。由此可知,采用预设的映射规则来判断在N个PDCCH检测时机中的哪M个PDCCH检测时机上检测WUS信号,可使得不同终端设备对应的M个PDCCH检测时机在不同时隙间随机化,避免数量较多的终端设备的WUS信号需要挤占同一时隙发送,从而使得网络设备的下行空口资源的占用更加均衡。
应理解,本申请实施例中,终端设备在M个PDCCH检测时机上检测WUS信号可以为,在M个PDCCH检测时机中的每个PDCCH检测时机上检测WUS信号,一旦检测到 WUS信号便进入微睡眠状态,以节省功耗。或者,终端设备在M个PDCCH检测时机上检测WUS信号也可以为,在M个PDCCH检测时机中的任一个或多个PDCCH检测时机上检测WUS信号。例如,若终端设备可确定网络设备在M个PDCCH检测时机上均发送WUS信号,那么终端设备在M个PDCCH检测时机上检测WUS信号可以为,在该M个PDCCH检测时机中的任一个或多个PDCCH检测时机上检测WUS信号,如此,可有效提高WUS信号检测的可靠性。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中的M个PDCCH检测时机在N个PDCCH检测时机中的位置、以及终端设备采用的确定M个PDCCH检测时机的预设的映射规则可以是预定义的,也可以是网络设备在第一指示信息中指示的。本申请实施例中所提及的“预定义”可以理解为定义、预先定义、存储、预存储、预协商、预配置、固化或预烧制。
本申请对上述步骤S201至步骤S204的执行顺序不作具体限定,各个步骤之间执行的先后关系依照其内在的逻辑限定。例如,网络设备确定N个PDCCH检测时机,可在终端设备确定N个PDCCH检测时机之前执行。网络设备向终端设备发送第一指示信息,可在终端设备在N个PDCCH检测时机中的M个PDCCH检测时机上检测WUS信号之前执行。但是,网络设备向终端设备发送第一指示信息,既可以在终端设备确定N个PDCCH检测时机之前执行,也可以在其之后执行,本申请并不限定。
