Description

一种降低UE功耗的方法和装置
本申请要求在2019年10月8日提交中国国家知识产权局、申请号为201910951471.3的中国专利申请的优先权，发明名称为“一种降低UE功耗的方法和装置”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
本发明涉及无线通信技术领域，尤其是涉及一种降低UE(User Equipment，用户设备)功耗的方法和装置。
背景技术
终端设备5G(5th generation mobile networks或5th generation wireless systems，第五代移动通信技术)技术组网模式目前可以大致分为两种：NSA(Non-Standalone，非独立组网模式)和SA(Standalone，独立组网模式)。NSA技术，其实是LTE(Long Term Evolution，长期演进)和NR(New Radio，新无线电)同时在线，此时UE需要同时保持两个模式在网，射频通路也需要保持两套，所以功耗比较高。SA技术下，由于支持的规格比4G(The fourth generation of mobile phone mobile communication technology standards，第四代移动通信技术)要高，支持更高的速率、更大的带宽、更多的射频天线数，所以功耗相比4G也更高。
在5G时代来临时，运营商会提供更大流量的套餐，但通常不会无限制提供高速流量包。一种常见的做法是：用户套餐在x G Bytes以内的流量不限制使用5G，速率也不受限；当用户使用流量超过x G Bytes，会限制用户的网速，用户无法享受5G的高速体验。现有技术中存在UE网络套餐使用完毕后，运营商对UE的网络速度进行限制，但是却没有解决限速后的场景问题，即UE依然是附着于功耗大的网络制式下，却享受着较低的网速。与此同时，现有技术中虽然存在根据UE的剩余流量、电量以及其他工作状态，进行4G到3G(3rd-Generation of Wireless Mobile Telecommunications Technology，第三代移动通信技术)(或者2G(Second Generation of Wireless Mobile Telecommunications Technology，第二代移动通信技术)等其他网络制式)的回退措施，但是现有技术一方面并没有解决5G技术的特殊性，尤其是在NSA和SA组网模式下，提出如何进行降低功耗的措施；另一方面，现有技术中没有考虑到4G回退到3G过程中，相应的图标也会改变，UE网络制式图标会由4G变为3G，这样将会降低用户的感官。
基于此背景，本发明提出一种降低UE功耗的方法和装置，意欲解决支持5G的UE被限速后，无法享受5G高速上网体验的同时，却需要承受着高功耗的弊端问题。
发明内容
本发明提供了一种降低UE功耗的方法和装置，以在实现判断UE在5G模式下是否被限制了网络速度的前提下，通过有效的办法降低UE的功耗，延长UE的待机时间以提高用户体验度。本发明具体发明内容如下：

具体实施方式
下面将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的描述。
本发明要解决的问题，在于提供一种降低UE功耗方法及装置，可以有效的降低UE的功耗，延长UE的待机时间，提高使用者的体验度。
在本发明实施方式中，所述UE是指具有数据计算处理功能和无线通讯功能的电子设备。所述UE包括但不限于：智能手机(如Android手机、iOS(iPhone Operating System)手机等搭载其他操作系统的手机)、平板电脑、掌上电脑、便携式多媒体播放器、电子相框、电子游戏机、笔记本电脑、移动互联网设备(Mobile Internet Devices)、穿戴式设备(如智能手表、智能手环、智能眼镜、头戴式设备(HMD)等)、智能家居设备、物联网设备、智能车等。
以上罗列了一些UE的具体类型，但是本领域技术人员可以意识到，本发明实施方式并不局限于上述罗列的类型，而还可以适用于其他任意的电子设备类型和操作系统类型之中。
其中，需要说明的是，在本发明实施例的描述中，除非另有说明，“/”表示或的意思，例如A/B可以表示A或B；文本中的“和/或”仅仅是一种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这三种情况，另外，在本发明实施例的描述中，“多个”是指两个或多于两个。
本发明实施例中提供的一种降低UE功耗方法及装置，其中需要说明的是，所述一种降低UE功耗方法及装置基于UE在不同的5G组网模式下，因UE与基站或者核心网连接的方式有所不同，而对应有不同的降低功耗的操作。其中，图1为本发明实施例提供的一种5G NSA和SA组网模式示意图，其中图1所示的模块10为5G SA组网模式图，图1所示的模块20为5G NSA组网模式图。图1仅是示例性的提供了5G SA和NSA组网模式图，5G SA和NSA组网模式还可能有其他形式，本图1所述内容并不对其进行限制。
本发明实施例一提供了一种5G NSA组网模式下降低UE功耗的方法。
图2示例性的示出了本发明实施例提供的一种5G NSA(Non-Stand Alone，非独立组网)组网模式下降低UE功耗方法的流程示意图。如图2所示，所述方法可以包括：
S201、UE获取APN-AMBR(Access Point Name-Aggregate Maximum Bit Rate，接入点名称聚合最大比特率)参数；
其中，5G NSA标准采用LTE(Long Term Evolution，长期演进)与5G NR(New Radio，新无线)新空口双连接的方式，以4G作为控制面的锚点，4G基站(eNB)为主站，5G基站(gNB)为从站，并沿用4G核心网。5G NSA组网模式下，会话建立或者或者会话修改流程和LTE中的是相似的，因此本实施例中的UE与网络侧建立会话或者会话修改过程用4G PDN(Public Data Network，公用数据网)会话建立或者会话修改流程表述。4G PDN会话建立或者会话修改流程中UE侧可以获得APN-AMBR参数，以便对UE网络速度是否受到限制进行判断。
APN-AMBR(Access Point Name-Aggregate Maximum Bit Rate，接入点名称聚合最大比特率)是关于某个APN(Access Point Name，接入点名称)的、所有non-GBR(Non Guaranteed Bit Rate，非保证比特率)承载的比特速率总和的上限，APN-AMBR针对APN，作为每一个APN的签约参数限制同一个APN中所有PDN连接的累计比特速率。即APN-AMBR的值可以用来反映网络运营商分配给UE的网络速度。其中，下行APN-AMBR由P-GW(PDN GateWay，PDN网关)负责执行，上行APN-AMBR由UE和P-GW负责执行，步骤S201中获取的APN-AMBR参数可以包括上行APN-AMBR和/或下行APN-AMBR。
图3示例性的示出了本发明实施例提供的一种5G NSA组网模式下4G的PDN会话连接建立的流程示意图。如图3所示，所述方法可以包括：
S301、UE向Network(为更好的描述本方案，基站、核心网等统称网络侧，以下简称“网络侧”)发送附着请求消息。
S302、网络侧向UE发送附着接受消息。该附着接受消息中包括APN-AMBR参数。
S303、UE向网络侧发送PDN会话连接请求，用以激活某个PDN获得连接。
S304、网络侧向UE发送激活默认的EPS(Evolved Packet System，演进式分组系统)承载上下文请求消息，其中所述激活默认的EPS承载上下文请求消息中包括APN-AMBR参数。
S305、UE向网络侧发送激活默认的EPS承载上下文响应消息。
上述步骤S301-S305所述的方法是UE设备开机附着过程中可以激活默认的APN，UE向网络侧发送附着请求消息同时携带PDN激活请求的情况。
其中，在本实施例的另一种方法中，可以通过UE在附着后切换APN或者重新激活APN过程中获取APN-AMBR参数，即所述另一种方法可以仅由S303、S304和S305步骤组成，步骤S304中的EPS承载上下文请求消息中可获取APN-AMBR参数。
所述4G的PDN连接建立流程中的该附着请求消息和激活默认的EPS承载上下文请求消息中都包含APN-AMBR参数，可以在上述两个阶段中获取所述APN-AMBR参数，用以判断UE网络速度是否受到限制。
图4示例性的示出了本发明实施例提供的一种5G NSA组网模式下4G PDN会话修改流程示意图。如图4所示，所述方法可以包括：
S401、网络侧向UE发送修改EPS承载上下文请求，以发起PDN会话修改过程，即PDN的修改过程由网络侧发起。其中，修改EPS承载上下文请求消息中携带APN-AMBR参数。所述APN-AMBR参数可以用于判断UE网络速度是否受到限制。
S402、UE向网络侧发送修改EPS承载上下文接受消息。
所述4G的PDN会话修改流程中可以获取APN-AMBR参数，用以判断UE网络速度是否受到限制。
S202、UE判断APN-AMBR参数是否小于所设阈值；
即判断所述UE获取的APN-AMBR值是否小于所设的阈值。所设阈值是指用于指示UE网络速度是否受到限制的数值。例如5G套餐的网络速度为1Gbps-4.5Gbps(Gigabits per second，每秒1000兆位)，所设阈值可以设定为1Gbps，当APN-AMBR值小于1Gbps时，意味着此时UE的网络速度受到了限制。本实施例中阈值的可以根据用户实际场景进行设置，本发明并不对该阈值大小进行限制。
其中，在判断所述UE获取的APN-AMBR值是否小于所设阈值步骤之前还包括阈值的设置，所设阈值的设置方法包括：
可选的阈值的设置方法一，所述UE将用户输入的第一数值作为所设阈值：例如在UE的系统中添加功能菜单栏，让用户在菜单栏中自主选择阈值。例如，用户可以在UE移动网络设置功能菜单中选择阈值大小、或者用户可以在UE移动网络设置功能对话框中填写阈值大小、或者用户可以在UE语音助手中通过语音输入设置阈值大小。
可选的阈值的设置方法二，所述UE将UE网络速度未被限制时所获取的UE网络配置参数值设为所设阈值：例如在UE首次入网注册5G网络时，UE可以在附着过程中获得APN-AMBR参数，UE可以将上述APN-AMBR参数设置为阈值。
其中，UE获取的APN-AMBR参数中区分为上行速度和下行速度的数值。所述UE判断APN-AMBR是否小于所设阈值的方法包括：
UE判断UE获取的APN-AMBR参数中上行速度数值是否小于所设第一阈值，例如APN-AMBR参数上行速度<0.5Gbps；
或者UE判断UE获取的APN-AMBR参数中下行速度数值是否小于所设第二阈值，例如APN-AMBR参数下行速度<1Gbps；
或者UE判断UE获取的APN-AMBR参数中上行速度数值是否小于所设第三阈值以及UE判断UE获取的APN-AMBR参数中下行速度数值是否小于所设第四阈值，例如，APN-AMBR参数上行速度<0.5Gbps并且APN-AMBR参数下行速度<1Gbps。
若APN-AMBR参数小于所设阈值，执行所述步骤S203、UE启动降功耗流程。其中UE降低功耗的措施，可以有多种方法，所述UE降低功耗的方法包括：
UE降低功耗的方法一：若APN-AMBR参数小于所设阈值，不直接关闭UE的EN-DC(Eutra NR Dual Connectivity，EUTRA-NR双连接)能力，仅仅不再对NR邻区进行测量。
其中DC代表Dual Connectivity，即双连接；E代表E-UTRA(N)(Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access(Network)，演进的通用地面无线接入(网络))，即4G无线接入网；N代表NR(New Radio)，即5G新无线。EN-DC(Eutra NR Dual Connectivity)就是指4G无线接入网与5G NR的双连接。其中5G NSA组网模式下，UE连接4G核心网，4G基站为主站，5G基站为辅站。本方法中，并不直接关闭UE的4G无线接入网与5G NR的双连接功能，仅仅是实现UE不再对NR邻区进行测量，不再响应网络的添加SCG(Secondary Cell Group，辅小区组)的动作，即UE不再添加5G NR，UE仅连接到4G网络，不会连接到NR网络，从而起到降低UE功耗的效果。
其中UE降低功耗的方法一的实现方式有多种选项，具体实现方式包括如下选项：
选项1：图5是本发明实施例提供的一种5G NSA组网模式下UE启动降低功耗的方法示意图。如图5所述的步骤，若UE当前处于RRC(Radio Resource Control，无线电资源控制)连接建立的状态时，UE可以发送SCG Failure Message(辅小区组失败消息)至网络侧，从而触发基站释放SCG。与此同时，为了防止网络侧再次添加NR，UE本地不再对NR邻区进行测量，不再响应网络侧的B1测量事件。具体事件的含义见表1。

表1
选项2：图6是本发明实施例提供的另一种5G NSA组网模式下UE启动降低功耗的方法示意图。如图6所述的步骤，如果UE当前处于RRC连接建立状态时，并且网络侧配置A2测量事件，UE可以伪造一个A2测量事件发送至到网络侧，报告NR信号能量为协议定义的 最低值，从而触发基站释放SCG。同时，为了防止网络侧再次添加NR，UE本地不再对NR邻区进行测量，不再响应网络侧的B1测量事件。
选项3：如果UE当前处于RRC闲置状态时，UE直接不再对NR邻区进行测量，不再响应网络侧的B1测量事件。
通过上述UE降低功耗的方法一可以起到降低UE功耗的效果。
UE降低功耗的方法一所列举的选项可能对5G图标的显示有一定的影响，不再添加SCG之后，5G图标是否显示依赖于5G图标的显示策略。其中，图7A-图7E为本发明实施例提供的一种UE网络制式图标显示图。图7A为本发明实施例提供的一种5G图标显示的状态示意图，如图7A所示，其中710所指向的“5G”字样即为5G图标，该显示状态为UE正常显示5G图标的状态，本图以及710所示的显示状态仅仅是对显示5G图标的示例，并不够成对5G图标显示的限制。目前GSMA(Groupe Speciale Mobile Association)提供的5G图标显示有如下几种规则，影响分析参见下表2：
Figure PCTCN2020116390-appb-000002
表2
本方法的有益效果在于，在图标显示方案ConfigD的规则下，本方法不影响UE 5G图标的显示，不会降低用户的体验度。而在其他规则下，UE不能显示5G图标，UE网络制式图标显示状态可以包括图7B-图7E所示的状态示意图，即UE可以显示720所指示的“4G”图标；或UE可以显示730所指示的“3G”图标；或UE可以显示740所指示的“CDMA”图标；或如750所指示的，UE可以不显示任何网络制式图标。
UE降低功耗的方法二：若APN-AMBR参数小于所设阈值，直接关闭UE的EN-DC能力。
图8是本发明实施例提供的另一种5G NSA组网模式下UE启动降低功耗的方法示意图，图8描述了所述UE降低功耗的方法二所涉内容，所述方法主要包括：
S801、由网络侧和UE侧之间进行RRC连接设置程序；
S802、UE发送TAU(Tracking Area Update，跟踪区域更新)信令；
S803、网络侧释放UE的RRC连接。
UE向网络侧发送的TAU信令中携带IE字段，所述IE字段可以用于关闭UE的EN-DC能力。
其中，需要注意的是，当UE处于RRC连接态时，所述UE降低功耗的方法二中仅有步骤S802即可实现；当UE处于RRC闲置态时，需要包括步骤S801、S802以及S803才可以实现。
上述所述UE降低功耗的方法二可以彻底关闭UE的EN-DC能力，从而起到降低UE功耗的效果。
但是需要注意的是，该UE降低功耗的方法二会影响UE上5G图标的显示，在本发明实施例中，UE可以提供合适的提示以尽到用户告知义务，以免用户对5G图标无法显示而感到困惑。所述提示方法可以包括：
在UE的屏幕上以对话框的形式，告知用户由于UE网速得到限制，将启用关闭5G的功能以降低功耗，5G的图标将会消失，并显示其他网络模式的图标，用户可以自行决定是否同意这一降低功耗的操作，且为用户在对话框中提供选择确认或者拒绝的选项；
或者在UE的屏幕上以对话框的形式显示，并通过语音提示的方式，告知用户由于UE网速得到限制，将启用关闭5G的功能以降低功耗，5G的图标将会消失，并显示其他网络模式的图标，用户可以自行决定是否同意这一降低功耗的操作，且为用户在对话框中提供选择确认或者拒绝的选项；
或者UE也可以不做任何的提示。
UE降低功耗的方法三：若APN-AMBR参数小于所设阈值，直接关闭UE的毫米波功能。
根据3GPP 38.101协议的规定，5G NR主要使用两段频率：FR1频段和FR2频段。FR1频段的频率范围是450MHz-6GHz，又叫sub-6GHz频段；FR2频段的频率范围是24.25GHz-52.6GHz，即为毫米波(mmWave)。由于毫米波功能仅在NR上才有，并且功耗很大，如果UE支持毫米波，可以将毫米波功能直接关闭。
上述UE降低功耗的方法三可以通过彻底关闭UE的毫米波功能，从而起到降低UE功耗的效果。
UE降低功耗的方法四：若APN-AMBR参数小于所设阈值，UE保留EN-DC能力，降低UE的其他能力。
相比于LTE，NR仍然存在一些其他优势，比如时延较低、用户容量大等特点，本方法实施例中UE可以继续保留EN-DC的能力，但是可以降低UE的其他能力，从而满足用户在较佳体验时尽可能节省UE功耗。其中，关于降低UE的其他能力的选项包括如下：
选项1：3GPP协议(以下简称“协议”)中对UE在LTE的工作频段仅要求支持天线个数为1T2R，即下行要求至少2*2 MIMO(Multi-input Multi-output，多输入多输出)。此时UE可以关闭4*4 MIMO的配置能力，仅仅启用2*2 MIMO，以节省天线资源开销从而节省功耗。
选项2：协议上对NR的工作频段仅要求了在n7/n38/n41/n77/n78/n79频段必须支持4*4MIMO的配置能力，其他工作频段均无此要求。UE可以关闭其他工作频段4*4 MIMO的配置能力，以节省天线资源开销从而节省功耗。
选项3：UE可以关闭NR-CA功能，以节省功耗。CA(Carrier Aggregation，载波聚合)载波聚合，就是将多个载波聚合起来进行数据传送。由于每个运营商能分到的频段有限，而且不一定连续，如果每个UE都只能用其中几个频段的话，那么UE的速率将会受到限制。CA技术就是解决这样一个问题，把相同频段或者不同频段的频谱资源聚合起来给UE使用，提高UE的速率。其中，本实施例中关闭NR-CA功能，以节省功耗。
选项4：NSA场景下，UE在LTE和NR下都支持CA能力，即LTE和NR都支持多CC(Component Carrier，载波单元)的能力。此种场景下，可以裁剪UE在LTE和NR下的能力，即UE侧仅向网络侧上报LTE的单CC能力以及NR的单CC能力，以实现降低UE功耗。
选项5：UE可以关闭所有工作频段的HPUE(High-Power User Equipment，高功率用户设备)能力，限定这些工作频段仅支持23dBm能力，不支持26dBm能力。限定UE以23dBm的最大输出功率进行发送，这样能有效的降低UE功率；
选项6：UE可以关闭LTE和NR上行发射功率的TDM(Time Division Multiplexing，时分复用)能力，这样UE在LTE和NR下均仅支持20dBm，而不是23dBm，这样可以降低UE的上行功耗开销。
所述UE降低功耗的方法四的选项，均需要UE重新上报UE能力来实现，具体而言可以通过TAU或者重新Attach附着的方法，通知网络侧关于UE的能力，从而有效的节省UE功耗。
UE降低功耗的方法五：若APN-AMBR参数小于所设阈值，关闭UE的EN-DC能力，且当UE在LTE模式下提供业务时，进一步限制UE的能力。
UE降低功耗的方法五中选择直接关闭UE的EN-DC能力，且当UE在LTE提供业务时，进一步限制UE能力，使得UE以匹配当前网络提供的速率限制(比如，降低到Category 4)。参看下表3(仅列举3GPP定义的低速率的Category)，协议定义的LTE的Category定义，可以根据速率限制，选择降低到对应的LTE CAT等级，也就是UE能够支持的传输速率的等级，以降低功耗。
Category等级 速率限制 备注
Category 4 下行150Mbps，上行50Mbps 下行1cc，上行1cc
Category 5 下行300Mbps，上行75Mbps 下行2cc，上行1cc
Category 6 下行300Mbps，上行50Mbps 下行2cc，上行1cc
表3
所述UE降低功耗的方法五，需要UE重新上报UE能力来实现，具体而言可以通过TAU信令或者重新Attach附着的方法，通知网络侧关于UE的能力，从而有效的节省UE功耗。
所述降低UE的方法，需要同时考虑UE重启、UE启动飞行模式、Modem重启等异常场景的处理。从节省功耗的角度看，UE需确保这些场景发生时，UE仍然能保持之前的降功耗措施得以生效。其中需要说明的是，本发明实施例中所述UE降功耗流程可以是上述方法其中之一或者上述方法的任意组合，本发明实施例并不对其进行限制。
若APN-AMBR参数不小于(包括等于阈值本数)所设阈值，执行所述步骤S204，即UE判断是否进行过降功耗流程。若UE没有进行过降功耗流程，直接结束流程，不改变UE工作状态。
若APN-AMBR参数不小于(包括等于阈值本数)所设阈值且所述UE进行过降功耗流程，则执行步骤S205、UE启动恢复流程。其中UE启动降功耗流程之前UE的工作状态为第一工作状态，UE启动降功耗流程之后UE的工作状态为第二工作状态，所述UE启动恢复流程表示UE的工作状态由第二工作状态转变为第一工作状态的过程。其中，所述恢复流程的方法包括：
恢复流程的方法一：若APN-AMBR参数不小于所设阈值，且UE进行过降功耗流程，则重新开启UE本地对NR邻区进行测量，恢复到标准协议流程。
其中，图9是本发明实施例提供的一种5G NSA组网模式下UE启动恢复流程的方法示意图。
S901，当网络侧要求UE测量NR邻区，并要求上报B1测量事件；
S902、UE响应B1测量事件，UE按照要求本地启动对NR邻区进行测量，并向网络侧上报B1事件；
S903、UE网络添加SCG。
所述恢复流程的方法一可以重新开启UE本地对NR邻区进行测量，从而起到恢复UE正常工作状态的效果。
恢复流程的方法二：若APN-AMBR参数不小于所设阈值，且UE进行过降功耗流程，则UE重新打开EN-DC能力。
参见图8，恢复UE工作流程与图8所述步骤一致，只不过在步骤S802中UE发送TAU至网络侧，在TAU中携带重新打开UE的EN-DC能力的IE字段。
所述恢复流程的方法二可以重新打开UE的EN-DC能力，从而起到恢复UE正常工作状态的效果。
恢复流程的方法三：若APN-AMBR参数不小于所设阈值，且UE进行过降功耗流程，则UE重新开启毫米波的功能。
所述恢复流程的方法三可以使得UE重新开启毫米波功能，从而起到恢复UE正常工作状态的效果。
恢复流程的方法四：若APN-AMBR参数不小于所设阈值，且UE进行过降功耗流程，则恢复UE的能力。UE重新上报UE能力，可以通过向网络侧发送TAU或者重新附着的方法，通知网络侧UE新的能力，从而使得UE恢复到初始工作状态。
所述恢复流程的方法四可以使得UE恢复UE能力，从而起到恢复UE正常工作状态的效果。
恢复流程的方法五：若APN-AMBR参数不小于所设阈值，且UE进行过降功耗流程，则UE重新上报LTE Category能力，可以通过向网络侧发送TAU或者重新附着的方法，通知网络侧UE新的能力，从而使得UE恢复到初始工作状态。
所述恢复流程的方法五可以使得UE恢复UE能力，从而起到恢复UE正常工作状态的效果。
需要说明的是，在本实施例中5G NSA组网模式下的所述恢复流程应和所述降低功耗流程需要一一对应。
本发明实施例一的有益效果在于，当通过判断UE获取的APN-AMBR参数是否小于所设阈值，从而检测到UE的网络速度受到限制后，可以采取的UE降低功耗的措施包括UE主动进行释放SCG并关闭EN-DC能力、关闭UE毫米波功能以及降低UE其他能力(具体方法包括关闭CA、关闭天线分集、降低LTECategory等)等措施后，可以使得UE功耗有较大收益，增加用户设备续航时间，提高用户体验度。当用户进行重新缴费或者到了月初，运营商重新恢复用户的服务时，UE获取的APN-AMBR参数将不小于所设阈值，启动恢复流程，以恢复UE网络的正常工作状态。
本发明实施例二提供了一种5G SA组网模式下降低UE功耗的方法。
图10为本发明实施例提供的一种5G SA组网模式下降低UE功耗的流程示意图。其中，本发明实施例二中5G SA组网模式下降低UE功耗的方法包括：
S1001、UE获取Session-AMBR(per Session-Aggregate Maximum Bit Rate，每个会话的聚合最大比特率)参数；
与LTE中的APN-AMBR性质相似，所述Session-AMBR为一个协议数据单元PDU会话的所有non-GBR的服务质量QoS流的比特率之和的上限，Session-AMBR也是可以用以反映网络服务商分配给UE的网络速度。其中，在5G的PDU会话建立过程或者会话修改过程中UE可以收到网络侧的Session-AMBR。
图11是本发明实施例提供的一种5G SA组网模式下5G PDU会话建立过程示意图，与LTE的PDN会话建立区别的是，5G注册流程和PDU会话建立流程是分开的。
如图11所示步骤S1101、由UE向网络侧发送注册请求；
步骤S1102、网络侧向UE发送注册接受信令；
S1103、UE向网络侧发送PDU会话建立请求信令；
S1104、网络侧向UE发送PDU会话建立接受信令中会携带Session-AMBR参数。此过程中UE收到的Session-AMBR参数可以用于判断UE是否受到了限速。
图12是本发明实施例提供的一种5G SA组网模式下5G PDU会话修改过程示意图。
PDU会话修改过程可以由UE发起，如图12所示的方法，首先执行步骤S1201、由UE向网络侧发送PDU会话修改请求；步骤S1202、网络侧向UE发送PDU会话修改命令；S1203、再由UE向网络侧发送PDU会话修改完成的消息。整个PDU会话修改过程完成。其中网络侧向UE发送PDU会话修改命令中会携带Session-AMBR参数。此过程中UE收到的Session-AMBR参数可以用于判断UE是否受到了限速。
图13是本发明实施例提供的另一种5G SA组网模式下5G PDU会话修改过程示意图。
PDU会话修改过程也可以由网络侧发起，如图13所示的方法，包括步骤S1301、网络侧向UE发送PDU会话修改命令；步骤S1302、由UE向网络侧发送PDU会话修改完成消息。其中网络侧向UE发送PDU会话修改命令中会携带Session-AMBR参数。此过程中UE收到的Session-AMBR参数可以用于判断UE是否受到了限速。
S1002、UE判断所述Session-AMBR参数是否小于所设阈值；
UE判断所述UE获取的Session-AMBR值是否小于所设的阈值，所设阈值是指用于指示UE网络速度是否受到限制的数值。例如5G套餐的网络速度为1Gbps-4.5Gbps，所设阈值可以设定为1Gbps，当Session-AMBR值小于1Gbps时，意味着此时UE的网络速度受到了限制。本实施例中阈值的可以根据用户实际场景进行设置，本发明并不对该阈值大小进行限制。
其中，在判断所述UE获取的Session-AMBR值是否小于所设阈值步骤之前还包括阈值的设置，所设阈值的设置方法包括：
可选的阈值的设置方法一，所述UE将用户输入的第一数值作为所设阈值：例如在UE的系统中添加功能菜单栏，让用户在菜单栏中自主选择阈值。例如，用户可以在UE移动网络设置功能菜单中选择阈值大小、或者用户可以在UE移动网络设置功能对话框中填写阈值大小、或者用户可以在UE语音助手中通过语音输入设置阈值大小。
可选的阈值的设置方法二，所述UE将UE网络速度未被限制时所获取的UE网络配置参数值设为所设阈值：例如在UE首次入网注册5G网络时，UE可以在附着过程中获得Session-AMBR参数，UE可以将上述Session-AMBR参数设置为阈值。
其中，UE获取的Session-AMBR参数中区分为上行速度和下行速度的数值。UE判断所述Session-AMBR是否小于所设阈值的方法包括：
UE判断UE获取的Session-AMBR参数中上行速度数值是否小于所设第一阈值，例如Session-AMBR参数上行速度<0.5Gbps；
或者UE判断UE获取的Session-AMBR参数中下行速度数值是否小于所设第二阈值，例如Session-AMBR参数下行速度<1Gbps；
或者UE判断UE获取的Session-AMBR参数中上行速度数值是否小于所设第三阈值以及UE判断UE获取的Session-AMBR参数中下行速度数值是否小于所设第四阈值，例如，Session-AMBR参数上行速度<0.5Gbps并且Session-AMBR参数下行速度<1Gbps。
若Session-AMBR参数小于所设阈值，执行所述步骤S1003、UE启动降功耗流程。其中UE降低功耗的措施，可以有多种方法，所述UE降低功耗的方法包括：
UE降低功耗的方法一：若Session-AMBR参数小于所设阈值，直接关闭UE的毫米波功能。
根据3GPP 38.101协议的规定，5G NR主要使用两段频率：FR1频段和FR2频段。FR1频段的频率范围是450MHz-6GHz，又叫sub-6GHz频段；FR2频段的频率范围是24.25GHz-52.6GHz，即为毫米波(mmWave)。由于毫米波功能仅在NR上才有，并且功耗很大，如果UE支持毫米波，可以将毫米波功能直接关闭。
上述UE降低功耗的方法一可以通过彻底关闭UE的毫米波功能，从而起到降低UE功耗的效果。
UE降低功耗的方法二：若Session-AMBR参数小于所设阈值，UE继续驻留NR，但是降低UE的其他能力。
考虑到相比LTE，NR仍然存在一些其他优势，比如时延较低、用户容量大等特点。此种方法下，UE可以继续驻留在NR，但是可以降低UE的其他能力，从而在满足较低流速体验时尽可能节省功耗。其中，所述降低UE其他能力的具体选项包括：
选项1：协议上对NR的工作频段仅要求了在n7/n38/n41/n77/n78/n79这些频段必须支持下行4*4 MIMO的配置能力，其他工作频段均无此要求。UE可以关闭其他工作频段4*4 MIMO的配置能力，以节省天线资源开销从而节省功耗。
选项2：UE可以关闭NR CA功能，以节省功耗；
选项3：UE可以关闭所有工作频段的HPUE能力，限定这些工作频段仅支持23dBm能力，不支持26dBm能力；
上述UE降低功耗的方法，均需要UE重新上报UE能力来实现，具体而言可以通过由UE向网络侧发送TAU或者重新注册的方法，通知网络侧关于UE的能力，从而有效的节省UE功耗。
UE降低功耗的方法三：若Session-AMBR参数小于所设阈值，使得UE使用更少的资源。
图14是本发明实施例提供的另一种5G SA组网模式下UE启动降低功耗的方法示意图，如图14所述，UE也可以在每次RRC连接建立之后，通过UE协助消息通知网络侧，告知UE使用更少的CC、UE使用更少的MIMO Layer或者UE使用更小的聚合带宽。
上述UE降低功耗的方法可以使得UE使用更少的资源，从而起到降低UE功耗的效果。
若Session-AMBR参数不小于(包括等于阈值本数)所设阈值，执行所述步骤S1004，即UE判断所述UE是否进行过降功耗流程。若UE没有进行过降功耗流程，直接结束流程，不改变UE工作状态。
若Session-AMBR参数不小于(包括等于阈值本数)所设阈值且UE进行过降功耗流程，则执行步骤S1005、启动恢复流程。其中UE启动降功耗流程之前UE的工作状态为第一工作状态，UE启动降功耗流程之后UE的工作状态为第二工作状态，所述UE启动恢复流程表示UE的工作状态由第二工作状态转变为第一工作状态的过程。其中，所述恢复流程的方法包括：
恢复流程的方法一：若Session-AMBR参数不小于所设阈值，且UE进行过降功耗流程，重新打开UE的毫米波功能。
恢复流程的方法二：若Session-AMBR参数不小于所设阈值，且UE进行过降功耗流程，重新恢复UE的能力。具体恢复UE能力的选项包括：
选项1：UE可以重新打开所有工作频段4*4 MIMO的配置能力；
选项2：UE可以重新打开NR CA功能；
选项3：UE可以重新打开所有工作频段的HPUE能力，恢复支持26dBm的能力；
上述方法，均需要UE重新上报UE能力来实现，具体而言可以通过由UE向网络侧发送TAU或者重新注册的方法，通知网络侧关于UE的能力，从而有效的重新恢复UE的能力。
恢复流程的方法三：若Session-AMBR参数不小于所设阈值，且UE进行过降功耗流程，重新恢复UE使用的资源：
UE可以在每次RRC连接建立之后，通过UE协助消息通知网络侧，告知UE使用正常的CC、UE使用正常的MIMO Layer或者UE使用正常的聚合带宽。
需要说明的是，在本实施例中5G SA组网模式下的所述恢复流程应和所述降低功耗流程需要一一对应。
本发明实施例二的有益效果在于，当通过判断UE获取的Session-AMBR参数是否小于所设阈值，从而检测到UE的网络速度受到限制后，可以采取的UE降低功耗的措施包括关闭UE毫米波功能、降低UE能力(具体方法包括关闭CA、关HPUE能力、关天线分集等)、降低UE使用的资源等措施后，可以使得UE功耗有较大收益，增加用户设备续航时间，提高用户体验度。当用户进行重新缴费或者到了月初，运营商重新恢复用户的服务时，UE获取的Session-AMBR参数将不小于所设阈值，并启动恢复流程，以恢复UE网络的正常工作状态。

其中，所述判断模块400，用于判断所述获取模块300获取的APN-AMBR参数、Session-AMBR参数、UE降功耗流程记录是否符合降功耗流程执行的条件，如果符合，将会执行下一步的降功耗流程。图17为本发明实施例提供的一种降低UE功耗的装置中判断模块结构示意图。所述判断模块400包括：AMBR参数与阈值大小判断子模块410、UE是否进行过降功耗流程判断子模块420。
需要进一步说明的是，AMBR参数与阈值大小判断子模块410用于判断AMBR参数获取子模块310所获取的APN-AMBR参数、Session-AMBR参数是否小于所设阈值，从而判定UE的网络速度是否受到了限制，并决定是否进一步执行降功耗措施。其中具体的APN-AMBR参数、Session-AMBR参数是否小于所设阈值的判断方法参见本发明实施一所述方法中的步骤S202、UE判断APN-AMBR参数是否小于所设阈值以及本发明实施例二所述方法中的步骤S1002、UE判断Session-AMBR参数是否小于所设阈值中所述的方法和步骤，此处不再赘述；
其中，UE是否进行过降功耗流程判断子模块420用于判断UE是否进行过降功耗流程，具体方法可以包括：若UE降功耗流程记录获取子模块320获取的参数X大于0，则可以判断UE是进行过降功耗流程；否则可以判断UE没有进行过降功耗流程。
其中，降功耗流程执行模块500用于执行UE降功耗的流程。具体的降功耗流程方法可以参见本发明实施例一中所述步骤S203、UE启动降功耗流程、本发明实施例二中所述步骤S1003、UE启动降功耗流程中所述的方法和步骤，此处不再赘述。
