背景技术
非连续接收(Discontinuous Reception,DRX)的目的是用于省电,处于DRX状态的终端设备不需要连续监听物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel,PDCCH),网络侧设备可以通过预测终端设备的业务数据量,为终端设备配置对应的DRX参数,如DRX周期、偏移、持续监听定时器等。
现有通信系统中,为了进一步提高终端设备的省电性能,引入了基于PDCCH的唤醒信号(Wake Up Signal,WUS),其中,WUS也可以称为省电无线网络临时标识加扰的带有循环冗余校验的下行控制信息(DCI with CRC scrambled by PS-RNTI,DCP)。WUS的作用是告知终端设备在DRX的持续监听期间(onDuration),是否需要监听PDCCH,从而终端设备可根据该WUS指示,决定下一个DRX周期是否启动onDuration定时器,以及是否进行PDCCH监听。
目前WUS操作方式是基于终端设备只有一组DRX配置进行定义的。然而,在终端设备被配置了多个DRX组的情况下如何对多个DRX组进行唤醒或休眠指示,并没有相关的解决方案。

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、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例是本发明一部分实施例,而不是 全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例,本领域普通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,都属于本发明保护的范围。
本申请的说明书和权利要求书中的术语“第一”、“第二”等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,以便这里描述的本申请的实施例,例如除了在这里图示或描述的那些以外的顺序实施。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。此外,说明书以及权利要求中使用“和/或”表示所连接对象的至少其中之一,例如A和/或B和/或C,表示包含单独A,单独B,单独C,以及A和B都存在,B和C都存在,A和C都存在,以及A、B和C都存在的7种情况。
为便于理解本发明实施例,首先对本发明实施例中所涉及到的一些相关概念进行说明。
1、DRX技术
如果终端设备长时间不监听PDCCH控制信道,那么一旦有数据达到,将会增加数据传输的时延。为了兼顾省电和传输时延,根据终端设备监听信道的时间长短,终端设备可支持两种DRX周期:长DRX周期和短DRX周期。如果预测终端设备数据量达到比较频繁或者业务对时延比较敏感,网络侧设备可以配置终端设备使用DRX短周期;如果预测终端数据量比较稀疏且时延不敏感,网络侧设备可以配置终端设备仅使用长DRX周期。为了便于终端设备进行长DRX周期和短DRX周期的切换,要求长DRX周期是DRX短周期的整数倍,以保证两者的持续监听时间对齐。
为了支持DRX机制,网络侧设备会为终端设备配置DRX相关定时器和参数,具体包括:
drx-LongCycleStartOffset:用于配置长DRX周期的周期和偏移,周期和偏移的单位是毫秒;
drx-ShortCycle:用于配置短DRX周期的周期和偏移,周期和偏移的单 位是毫秒;
drx-ShortCycleTimer:用于控制终端设备使用短DRX周期的时长,单位为整数,表示终端设备一旦进入短DRX周期,要维持所述整数倍个短周期;
drx-onDurationTimer:DRX持续监听定时器,在该定时器运行期间,终端设备需要持续监听网络的PDCCH控制信道,该定时器单位是毫秒;
drx-SlotOffset:终端设备启动drx-onDurationTimer的时延,通过该参数设置DRX onDuration的起始时刻相对于子帧起点的偏移量,偏移量是1/32毫秒的整数倍。
2、唤醒信号WUS
WUS的作用是告知终端设备在特定的DRX的onDuration期间,是否需要监听PDCCH。当没有数据的情况,终端设备可以不需要监听onDuration期间的PDCCH,相当于终端设备在整个DRX Long cycle中都可以处于休眠状态,从而更进一步的省电。
WUS是一种下行物理控制信道(Downlink Control Information,DCI),简称DCP(DCI with CRC scrambled by PS-RNTI),其中省电无线网络临时标识PS-RNTI是网络为终端设备分配的专门用于省电特性的RNTI,以该RNTI加扰的DCI,即携带了网络对终端设备的唤醒/休眠指示。终端设备根据该指示,决定下一个DRX周期是否启动onDuration定时器,以及是否进行PDCCH监听。
参见图1,图1是本发明实施例可应用的一种网络系统的结构图,如图1所示,包括终端设备11和网络侧设备12,其中,终端设备11可以是手机、平板电脑(Tablet Personal Computer)、膝上型电脑(Laptop Computer)、个人数字助理(Personal Digital Assistant,PDA)、移动上网装置(Mobile Internet Device,MID)或可穿戴式设备(Wearable Device)等用户侧设备,需要说明的是,在本发明实施例中并不限定终端设备11的具体类型。网络侧设备12可以是基站,例如:宏站、LTE eNB、5G NR NB、gNB等;网络侧设备12也可以是小站,如低功率节点(Low Power Node,LPN)pico、femto等小站,或者网络侧设备12可以接入点(Access Point,AP);基站也可以是中央单元(Central Unit,CU)与其管理是和控制的多个TRP共同组成的网络节点。需 要说明的是,在本发明实施例中并不限定网络侧设备12的具体类型。上述网络系统可以是5G通信系统或长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)通信系统,具体可不作限定。
需要说明的是,本发明实施例提供的唤醒信号处理方法可以由上述终端设备11执行;本发明实施例提供的唤醒信号配置方法可以由上述网络侧设备12执行,详细内容请参见下述说明。
本发明实施例提供一种唤醒信号处理方法,应用于终端设备。参见图2,图2是本发明实施例提供的唤醒信号处理方法的流程图,如图2所示,包括以下步骤:
步骤201、在终端设备配置有至少两个非连续接收DRX组的情况下,接收唤醒信号WUS;
其中,所述WUS用于指示是否启动所述至少两个DRX组中全部DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器。
本发明实施例中,所述终端设备可以被配置有多个DRX组,以及在其中一个DRX组中配置了WUS,通过一个WUS来控制所述至少两个DRX组共同工作,该WUS可以指示所述至少两个DRX组中的全部DRX的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器是否启动。
上述至少两个DRX组中不同的DRX组(即DRX group)可以理解为配置有不同DRX参数集合的不同载波组,其中,上述DRX参数集合可以包括一套DRX参数。实际应用中,可以将具有不同特性的成员载波(Component Carrier,CC)配置为不同的DRX组,并可以分别为各个DRX组配置对应的DRX参数集合。
具体地,可以是在终端设备(以下简称UE)根据其业务特性和自身特性,确定需要进行省电配置时,网络侧设备可以为UE配置DRX参数。当UE配置/激活了多个CC时,如果这些CC有不同的特性,例如,其中一些CC处于低频,另一些CC处于高频,因此在这两类CC中,他们的传输特性,如传输所用的参数集(即numerology)有很大差别,那么更高效率的一种方式,是为UE配置两组不同的DRX参数,分别用于不同特性的CC组。例如,将所有低频(例如FR1)的载波,配置为一个DRX group 1,并为DRX group 1 中的CC配置一套DRX参数,而将其它高频(例如FR2)的载波,配置为DRX group 2,并为DRX group 2中的CC配置另外一套DRX参数。这样相当于为UE配置了两套DRX参数,分别用于两个CC group。UE可以按照DRX参数配置,为这两个DRX group分配启动和维护对应的DRX状态。
其中,每套DRX参数可以包括DRX周期(长DRX周期、短DRX周期等)、偏移、UE使用DRX短周期的时长、DRX持续监听定时器、UE启动DRX持续监听定时器的时延等参数。
故本实施例中,在所述终端设备配置有至少两个DRX组的情况下,所述终端设备可以接收网络侧设备发送的WUS,并可依据所述WUS的指示,启动或不启动所述至少两个DRX组中全部DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器,具体地,可在所述WUS指示启动全部DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器的情况下(如所述WUS为唤醒指示WUS on),同时启动全部DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器,在所述WUS指示不启动全部DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器的情况下(如所述WUS为休眠指示WUS off),不启动全部DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器。
需说明的是,当终端设备被配置了多组DRX配置,且同时配置了一个WUS时,一般来说WUS配置在主小区(Primary cell,Pcell)/特殊小区(Special cell,Spcell)上,将Pcell所在的DRX组称为Pcell DRX group或者Primary DRX group,其它DRX组称为辅小区(Secondary cell,Scell)DRX group或者Secondary DRX Group,WUS中可采用公共的比特位(即bit)指示多个DRX group的唤醒/休眠。
下面结合图3对本发明实施例具体实施方式进行举例说明,如图3所示,网络侧设备为UE配置了两个DRX group,并在DRX group1上配置了一个WUS,下面详细说明这两个DRX group如何在一个WUS的控制下,进行网络侧设备期望的唤醒和休眠操作。
图3是一个可选的两个DRX group配置的定时器的运行状态,其中,DRX group1和DRX group2可以有不同的定时器长度,例如,onDuration定时器,不活动(Inactivity)定时器,甚至混合自动重传请求(Hybrid Automatic Repeat  reQuest,HARQ)往返时延(Round Trip Time,RTT)定时器,HARQ重传(Retransmission,RETX)定时器等,短DRX周期(short DRX cycle)是否启动及其时长配置,和DRX周期偏移(DRX cycle offset)等参数都可以有不同的取值。最终的效果是这两个DRX group分别根据属于自己的定时器和参数配置,按照数据调度和重传情况,进行各自独立的DRX状态和定时器维护。
在多个DRX group配置的基础上,如果需要进一步的配置一个WUS来动态指示每个DRX周期是否唤醒/休眠onDuration定时器和PDCCH监听,一种可行的方式是,在所有配置/激活的CC中挑选一个CC来配置WUS,一般来说是Pcell或者Spcell,也就是说WUS是配置在一个DRX group内。例如图3中,如果Pcell/Spcell是属于DRX group 1,则WUS在DRX group 1中的特殊小区上进行监听。
其中,通过一个WUS来控制两个DRX group共同工作的基本方式如下:
UE在WUS配置好的时频资源上,去监听(接收)WUS,并根据WUS指示的内容,来决定DRX group1在紧接着的下一个DRX周期(如图2中DRX group1上位于WUS on/WUS off的时域位置后且相邻的DRX周期)内,其onDuration定时器是否启动,是否监听PDCCH。虽然此时有两个DRX group,但需要两个group同时听从一个WUS的控制,因此DRX group2上虽然没有WUS配置,但位于DRX group1的WUS的指示,同时也适用于决定DRX group2的定时器状态和PDCCH监听状态。这样达到的效果是,当UE没有业务需要传输时,一个WUS可以同时指示所有DRX group里的小区,在下一个DRX周期中都处于休眠状态,进一步节省UE电量;只有当有业务需要传输时,WUS才指示两个DRX group里的小区,在下一个DRX cycle启动onDuration定时器和PDCCH监听,准备进行数据传输。
可选的,在接收所述唤醒信号WUS之后,所述方法还包括:
根据所述WUS确定是否启动所述至少两个DRX组中的全部DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器。
在接收所述WUS后,UE还可以根据所述WUS的指示,确定是否启动所述至少两个DRX组中的全部DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器,具体地,可以在所述WUS为唤醒指示(如接收的WUS指示值为on) 的情况下,确定启动全部DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器,在所述WUS指示为休眠指示(如接收的WUS指示值为off)的情况下,确定不启动全部DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器。进而,UE可依据确定结果,启动全部DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器,或不启动全部DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器。
可选的,所述接收唤醒信号WUS之前,所述方法还包括:
根据所述至少两个DRX组中的部分或者全部DRX组的状态确定是否接收所述WUS。
在利用WUS控制多个DRX组的唤醒/休眠状态的过程中,还存在特殊情况需要作进一步考虑和解决,例如,当UE的某些DRX组中正在进行数据业务时,这些DRX组已处于唤醒工作状态,此时可以考虑是否需要监听WUS,即接收WUS。
故该实施方式中,在接收WUS之前,可以先根据所述至少两个DRX组中的部分或者全部DRX组的状态确定是否接收所述WUS,若确定接收,则接收所述WUS,否则可以不接收所述WUS,也即放弃接收所述WUS。
具体地,可以根据所述至少两个DRX组中的部分或者全部DRX组当前时刻是否处于激活状态(即唤醒状态),或是否处于非激活状态(即休眠状态),来确定是否接收所述WUS,更为具体地,可以在所述至少两个DRX组中的部分或者全部DRX组当前时刻处于激活状态的情况下,确定不接收所述WUS,在所述至少两个DRX组中的部分或者全部DRX组当前时刻处于非激活状态的情况下,确定接收所述WUS。
更进一步地,在确定不接收所述WUS的情况下,考虑到当前部分或者全部DRX组处于激活状态,故判断UE的所述部分或者全部DRX组在下一个DRX周期进行业务的可能性较大,因此,为保证UE业务的正常进行和降低传输时延,可以在不监听WUS的情况下,直接启动全部DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器。
这样,通过根据所述至少两个DRX组中的部分或者全部DRX组的状态确定是否接收所述WUS,可以在不影响终端业务的情况下,进一步地节省传输资源,也更加省电。
可选的,所述根据所述至少两个DRX组中的部分或者全部DRX组的状态确定是否接收所述WUS,可以包括如下任一项:
在所述WUS的时域位置位于第一DRX组的激活时间的情况下,确定放弃接收所述WUS,否则确定接收所述WUS;其中,所述第一DRX组为所述至少两个DRX组中配置有所述WUS的DRX组;
在所述WUS的时域位置位于所述至少两个DRX组中全部DRX组的激活时间的情况下,确定放弃接收所述WUS,否则确定接收所述WUS;
在所述WUS的时域位置位于所述至少两个DRX组中任一DRX组的激活时间的情况下,确定放弃接收所述WUS,否则确定接收所述WUS。
该实施方式中,可以根据所述WUS的时域位置与所述至少两个DRX组中的部分或全部DRX组的激活时间(Activetime)的重叠情况,确定是接收所述WUS,还是确定放弃接收所述WUS。
当配置的WUS所在的时域位置与Activetime重叠时,即应该监听WUS的时间位置处,UE由于前一个DRX周期的调度情况,仍旧处于监听的激活状态,即持续监听PDCCH状态,此时就不需要进行WUS的监听,直接进入持续激活状态,即在下一个DRX周期启动onDuration定时器和监听PDCCH。
一种方式中,可以仅考虑主要DRX组(Primary DRX group)是否处于Activetime,来判断所述WUS是否位于Activetime期间,也即所述WUS的时域位置是否与Activetime冲突,进而根据是否冲突决定是否监听WUS,其中,所述Primary DRX group可以是所述至少两个DRX组中配置有所述WUS的DRX组。
具体地,当所述WUS配置在所述至少两个DRX组中的第一DRX组时,可以在所述WUS的时域位置位于所述第一DRX组的激活时间的情况下,也即所述WUS的时域位置与所述第一DRX组的激活时间重叠时,判断所述WUS的时域位置与所述第一DRX组的激活时间冲突,从而确定放弃接收所述WUS;而在所述WUS的时域位置不位于所述第一DRX组的激活时间,或者说所述WUS的时域位置位于所述第一DRX组的非激活时间(Non-Activetime)的情况下,也即所述WUS的时域位置与所述第一DRX组的激活时间不重叠时,可以判断所述WUS的时域位置与所述第一DRX组 的激活时间不冲突,从而确定接收所述WUS。
另一种方式中,可以同时考虑所述至少两个DRX组中每个DRX组的Activetime,来判断所述WUS的时域位置是否与Activetime冲突,进而根据是否冲突决定是否监听WUS,具体还可以分为两种不同情况:
一种情况中,可以是在所述WUS的时域位置位于所述至少两个DRX组中每个DRX组的激活时间重叠区域的情况下,也即所述WUS的时域位置与每个DRX组的激活时间都重叠,判断所述WUS的时域位置与每个DRX组的激活时间冲突,从而确定放弃接收所述WUS;而在所述WUS的时域位置不位于每个DRX组的激活时间的情况下,也即存在至少一个DRX组激活时间与所述WUS的时域位置不重叠时,可以判断所述WUS的时域位置与所述至少两个DRX组的激活时间不冲突,从而确定接收所述WUS。
另一种情况中,可以是在所述WUS的时域位置位于所述至少两个DRX组中任一DRX组的激活时间的情况下,也即存在至少一个DRX组的激活时间与所述WUS的时域位置重叠,判断所述WUS的时域位置与所述至少两个DRX组的激活时间冲突,从而确定放弃接收所述WUS;而在所述WUS的时域位置不位于任一DRX组的激活时间的情况下,也即所述WUS的时域位置位于每个DRX组的非激活时间,而不存在DRX组与所述WUS的时域位置重叠时,可以判断所述WUS的时域位置与所述至少两个DRX组的激活时间不冲突,从而确定接收所述WUS。
进一步的,在确定放弃接收所述WUS的情况下,所述方法还可以包括如下一项:
启动所述至少两个DRX组中每个DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器;
在确定放弃接收所述WUS的情况下,启动所述至少两个DRX组的第二DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器,其中,所述第二DRX组为所述至少两个DRX组中配置有所述WUS的DRX组,或者所述第二DRX组为所述至少两个DRX组中激活时间与所述WUS的时域位置存在重叠的DRX组。
对于上述确定放弃接收WUS的情况,均是由于所述WUS的时域位置位 于部分或全部DRX组的激活时间导致的冲突,而无需监听WUS,也就是说当前存在部分或全部DRX组正在进行业务传输,进而可推断UE在下一个DRX周期进行业务的可能性较大,故为保证UE业务的正常进行和降低传输时延,可以在不监听WUS的情况下,直接启动所述至少两个DRX组中部分或全部的DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器。
在一实施方式中,在确定放弃接收所述WUS的情况下,可以直接启动所述至少两个DRX组中全部DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器,不仅实现较为简单,还可以降低传输时延。
在另一实施方式中,在确定放弃接收所述WUS的情况下,可以仅启动所述至少两个DRX组中某一个DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器,例如,可以仅启动至少两个DRX组中配置有所述WUS的DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器,或者可以仅启动至少两个DRX组中激活时间与WUS的时域位置冲突的DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器,可以在兼顾省电的同时降低传输时延。
下面以UE配置有两个DRX group(Primary DRX group和Secondary DRX group)为例对本实施方式进行说明,由于两个DRX group的激活状态是各自独立的,因此两个DRX group与WUS配置的时域位置的关系有如下四种情况:
Case1:WUS配置的时域位置上,Primary DRX group(即WUS所在的group)的状态为Activetime,Secondary DRX group(即没有WUS的group)的状态为Non-Activetime;
Case2:WUS配置的时域位置上,Primary DRX group的状态为Activetime,Secondary DRX group的状态也是Activetime;
Case3:WUS配置的时域位置上,Primary DRX group的状态为Non-Activetime,Secondary DRX group的状态是Activetime;
Case4:WUS配置的时域位置上,Primary DRX group的状态为Non-Activetime,Secondary DRX group的状态也是Non-Activetime;
其中,Primary DRX group和Secondary DRX group这两个DRX group的状态可以对应有下表所示四种情况。
表1两个DRX group的状态情况
  Primary DRX group Secondary DRX group
Case1 Activetime Non-Activetime
Case2 Activetime Activetime
Case3 Non-Activetime Activetime
Case4 Non-Activetime Non-Activetime
那么有如下两种方式来定义WUS所在的时域位置与Active time的冲突以及根据是否冲突决定相关的监听WUS行为:
方式一:仅仅考虑Primary DRX group是否处于Active time,来判断WUS是否位于Active time期间:
上述case1和case2判断为冲突,UE不需要在WUS配置的时频位置进行WUS监听,并默认下一个DRX周期中两个DRX group同时启动onDuration定时器,同时监听PDCCH;
上述case3和case4判断为不冲突,UE需要在WUS配置的时频位置进行WUS监听,并根据WUS的指示,例如on或off,来决定下一个DRX周期中两个DRX group是否同时启动onDuration定时器,是否同时监听PDCCH。
需要注意的是,由于在这种方式中,仅仅考虑了Primary DRX group的状态,当Secondary DRX group状态与之不一致时,例如case 3,在WUS指示了off的情况下,虽然当前Secondary DRX group仍旧处于Activetime,但当前使UE进入Activetime的定时器超时之后,由于下一个DRX周期中onDuration定时器不再启动,UE在Secondary DRX group也将进入休眠状态。
方式二:同时考虑Primary DRX group和Secondary DRX group的Active time,该方式又分为两个子分支:
分支一:只有WUS所在时域位置两个DRX group都处于Activetime(即case2)时,才判定WUS与Activetime冲突,其余情况(case1,case3和case4)都判断为不冲突;
分支二:只有当WUS所在的时域位置两个DRXgroup都处于Non-Activetime时(即case4),才判定WUS与Activetime不冲突,其余情况(case1,case2和case3)都判断为冲突。
当判断为WUS与Activetime冲突时,UE不需要在WUS配置的时频位置进行WUS监听,并默认下一个DRX周期中两个DRX group同时启动onDuration定时器,同时监听PDCCH;
当判断为WUS与Activetime不冲突时,UE需要在WUS配置的时频位置进行WUS监听,并根据WUS的指示,例如on或off,来决定下一个DRX周期中两个DRXgroup是否同时启动onDuration定时器,是否同时监听PDCCH。
这样,通过基于所述WUS的时域位置与所述至少两个DRX组中的部分或全部DRX组的激活时间的关系,判断所述WUS是否与所述至少两个DRX组冲突,进而确定是否接收所述WUS,可以有效地节省传输资源,节省电量。
可选的,所述方法还包括如下任一项:
在所述WUS接收失败的情况下,根据第一指示确定是否启动所述至少两个DRX组的部分或全部DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器;其中,所述第一指示为协议预定义或网络侧设备配置;
在所述WUS接收失败的情况下,启动所述至少两个DRX组的部分或全部DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器;
在所述WUS接收失败的情况下,根据所述至少两个DRX组中至少一个DRX组的状态确定是否启动所述至少两个DRX组中部分或全部DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器。
在网络侧设备为UE配置好WUS的时频位置后,UE需要在WUS配置的时频位置上进行WUS检测即接收WUS,但在实际传输中,可能会出现通信链路质量差,或者UE需要进行其它高优先级的操作,而导致UE并没有正确检测到WUS即接收WUS失败,因此也就无法得知网络侧设备通知的下一个DRX周期到底是唤醒指示还是休眠指示,此种情况下,UE在所述至少两个DRX组的行为需要规定清楚,以保证UE的行为在网络侧设备可控的范围之内。
本实施方式就是针对WUS接收失败的情况,提出的UE的所述至少两个DRX组在下一个DRX周期如何进行监听行为的相应处理方案,具体可以有以下三种不同的处理方案。
第一种方式中,可以预先配置相应的指示,来告知UE如何决定其监听行为,具体地,可以由协议预定义或网络侧设备配置第一指示,用于指示UE在所述WUS接收失败的情况下,是否启动所述至少两个DRX组的部分或全部DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器。当由网络侧设备为UE配置所述第一指示时,所述网络侧设备可以将配置好的所述第一指示下发至UE,使得UE可在接收WUS失败的情况下,从所述第一指示中确定需要启动所述至少两个DRX组中的哪些DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器。
也就是说,所述第一指示可以指示UE仅启动所述至少两个DRX组的部分DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器,如仅启动较为主要DRX组、配置有所述WUS的DRX组或当前有数据调度的DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器,以保障终端业务和节省传输资源;或者,也可以指示UE启动所述至少两个DRX组的全部DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器,以优先保障所述终端的业务传输;或者,还可以指示UE不启动所述至少两个DRX组的部分DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器,如不启动非主要DRX组、未配置有所述WUS的DRX组或当前没有数据调度的DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器,以节省传输资源和电量;还或者,可以指示UE的所述至少两个DRX组的全部DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器均不启动,以优先节省传输资源和电量。
其中,所述第一指示可以包括一个子指示,所述一个子指示对应于所述至少两个DRX组的全部DRX组;或者所述第一指示包括至少两个子指示,所述至少两个子指示分别与所述至少两个DRX组的不同DRX组对应。
也就是说,可以为所述至少两个DRX组配置共同的指示,以指示UE同时启动或同时不启动全部DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器;也可以为所述至少两个DRX组中每个DRX组分别配置独立的指示,或者分别为所述至少两个DRX组中的某部分DRX组配置一个共同的指示,还或者为所述至少两个DRX组中的某部分DRX组配置一个共同的指示,为所述至少两个DRX组中另一部分DRX组中的每个DRX组分别配置独立的指示, 等等,以指示UE同时启动或同时不启动部分DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器,或指示UE分别启动或不启动某DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器。
例如,网络侧设备可以通过无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)信令配置UE在漏检/误检WUS时,所述至少两个DRX组处于被唤醒还是休眠状态,其中,网络侧设备可以为Primary DRX group和Secondary DRX group配置共同的WUS漏检状态指示(WUS misdetection state indicator),也可以为他们配置独立的WUS misdetection state indicator。
举例说明,当共同的WUS misdetection state indicator被配置为on时,如果UE发生了WUS misdetection,则UE默认下一个DRX周期中两个DRX group同时启动onDuration定时器,同时监听PDCCH;当共同的WUS misdetection state indicator被配置为off时,如果UE发生了WUS misdetection,则UE默认下一个DRX周期中两个DRX group同时不启动onDuration定时器,同时不监听PDCCH;
当独立的WUS misdetection state indicator被分别配置时,如果UE发生了WUS misdetection,则UE按照配置给各自DRX group的指示独立决定下一个DRX周期中是否启动onDuration定时器,是否监听PDCCH。
第二种方式中,可以由UE按照预设规则自行决定其监听行为,具体地,UE在所述WUS接收失败的情况下,可以启动所述至少两个DRX组的部分或全部DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器。
也就是说,UE可以仅启动所述至少两个DRX组的部分DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器,如仅启动主要DRX组、配置有所述WUS的DRX组或当前有数据调度的DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器,以保障其业务和节省传输资源;或者,也可以启动所述至少两个DRX组的全部DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器,以优先保障其业务传输。
进一步的,所述在所述WUS接收失败的情况下,启动所述至少两个DRX组的部分或者全部DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器,包括如下任一项:
在所述WUS接收失败的情况下,启动所述至少两个DRX组的每个DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器;
在所述WUS接收失败的情况下,启动第三DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器;其中,所述第三DRX组为所述至少两个DRX组中配置有所述WUS的DRX组。
该方式中,由于WUS misdetection发生的概率不高,一种简单直接的UE行为是UE默认进行唤醒行为,即如果UE发生了WUS misdetection,则下一个DRX cycle内,UE默认全部DRX组启动onDuration定时器,同时监听PDCCH,这样可以避免错过网络侧设备的调度,提高了业务传输体验和时延,并且由于WUS misdetection的概率不高,对耗电的影响不大。
或者,为在业务传输体验、时延与耗电之间取得均衡,可以仅默认唤醒所述至少两个DRX组中配置有所述WUS的DRX组,当所述WUS配置在Primary DRX group时,可以仅唤醒Primary DRX group,例如,当UE在所述至少两个DRX组的前一个DRX周期都没有数据传输时,发生了WUS misdetection,此时UE仅唤醒Primary DRX group,以监听可能的数据调度,而在其他DRX组仍旧保持休眠省电状态。
第三种方式中,可以由UE根据所述至少两个DRX组中至少一个DRX组的状态决定其监听行为,具体地,UE在所述WUS接收失败的情况下,可以根据所述至少两个DRX组中至少一个DRX组当前为激活还是非激活状态,来确定是否启动所述至少两个DRX组的部分或全部DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器;其中,所述至少一个DRX组可以是所述至少两个DRX组中的主要DRX组、配置有所述WUS的DRX组或当前有数据调度的DRX组,所述至少两个DRX组的部分DRX组可以是与所述至少一个DRX组对应的DRX组,也可以是所述至少两个DRX组中的主要DRX组、配置有所述WUS的DRX组或当前有数据调度的DRX组。
也就是说,可以根据所述至少两个DRX组中至少一个DRX组的状态,确定是否启动所述至少两个DRX组中部分DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器,例如,在所述至少两个DRX组中某部分DRX组在WUS的时域位置处于Activetime时,可以判断该部分DRX组在下一个DRX周期 有数据调度的可能性非常大,故可以启动该部分DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器;或者,也可以根据所述至少两个DRX组中至少一个DRX组的状态,确定是否启动所述至少两个DRX组中全部DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器,例如,在所述至少两个DRX组中某部分或全部DRX组在WUS的时域位置处于Activetime时,均可以直接启动全部DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器。
进一步的,所述在所述WUS接收失败的情况下,根据所述至少两个DRX组中至少一个DRX组的状态确定是否启动所述至少两个DRX组中部分或全部DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器,包括:
在所述WUS接收失败的情况下,若所述WUS的时域位置位于第四DRX组的激活时间,则启动所述第四DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器;
其中,所述第四DRX组为所述至少两个DRX组中的任一DRX组。
也就是说,在UE接收所述WUS失败的情况下,可以启动所述至少两个DRX组中激活时间与所述WUS的时域位置重叠的DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器,而不启动其他DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器。
以两个DRX group为例,可以分别根据这两个DRX group的状态,决定是否唤醒其DRX group,例如当一个DRX group在WUS时域期间处于Activetime,则认为下一个DRX周期有数据调度的可能性非常大,则该DRX group在下一个DRX周期内,UE默认启动onDuration定时器,监听PDCCH;而对于一个DRX group在WUS时域期间处于Non-Activetime,则认为下一个DRX周期休眠的可能性非常大,则该DRX group在下一个DRX周期内,UE默认不启动onDuration定时器,不监听PDCCH。
这样,在接收所述WUS失败的情况下,通过采用上述任一方案来决定所述至少两个DRX组在下一个DRX周期的监听行为,可保证UE的行为在网络侧设备可控的范围之内,且能保障终端业务的正常进行或节省终端传输资源。
可选的,第五DRX组配置有长DRX周期的参数和短DRX周期的参数, 所述长DRX周期为所述短DRX周期的整数倍,所述第五DRX组为所述至少两个DRX组中的任一DRX组;
所述方法还包括如下一项:
在所述第五DRX组工作于所述短DRX周期的情况下,若仅所述长DRX周期的onDuration之前的WUS时间窗口配置有所述WUS的时域位置,则根据所述长DRX周期的onDuration之前的WUS时间窗口接收的WUS,确定是否启动所述长DRX周期范围内全部短DRX周期的onDuration定时器;
在所述第五DRX组工作于所述短DRX周期的情况下,若每个短DRX周期的onDuration之前的WUS时间窗口均配置有所述WUS的时域位置,则分别根据所述每个短DRX周期的onDuration之前的WUS时间窗口接收的WUS,确定是否启动所述每个短DRX周期的onDuration定时器。
为兼顾省电和传输时延,一个DRX组可以同时配置有长DRX周期和短DRX周期,当UE数据量比较频繁或者业务对时延比较敏感时,可以使用短DRX周期,当UE数据量比较稀疏且业务对时延不敏感时,可以仅使用长DRX周期。为了便于在长DRX周期和短DRX周期之间切换,可以配置长DRX周期为短DRX周期的整数倍,这样可以保证持续监听时间对齐。
该实施方式中,在所述至少两个DRX组中第五DRX组配置有长DRX周期的参数和短DRX周期的参数,且所述第五DRX组工作于所述短DRX周期的情况下,可以根据所述WUS配置的时域位置与所述第五DRX组的长DRX周期或短DRX周期的时域位置关系,确定是否启动对应DRX周期的onDuration定时器;其中,所述第五DRX组为所述至少两个DRX组中的任一DRX组,所述长DRX周期为所述短DRX周期的整数倍。可选的,为了提高WUS监听的简便性,所述第五DRX组可以为所述至少两个DRX组中配置有所述WUS的DRX组。
在一实施方式中,为了节省传输资源,网络侧设备可能仅在所述第五DRX组的每个长DRX周期内配置一个WUS时间窗口,以通过一个WUS指示UE统一启动或不启动该长DRX周期内的所有onDuration定时器,这样,WUS只出现在每个长DRX周期的onDuration之前的WUS时间窗口,在这种情况下,UE可以在每个长DRX周期的onDuration之前的WUS时间窗口 监听WUS,并可根据监听到的WUS即接收的WUS,确定是否启动该长DRX周期范围内的全部短DRX周期的onDuration定时器。
例如,若在某长DRX周期的onDuration之前的WUS时间窗口接收的WUS指示唤醒,则可以启动位于该长DRX周期范围内的全部短DRX周期的onDuration定时器,若在某长DRX周期的onDuration之前的WUS时间窗口接收的WUS指示休眠,则可以不启动该长DRX周期范围内的全部短DRX周期的onDuration定时器。其中,若一个长DRX周期包括N个短DRX周期,则可以根据长DRX周期的onDuration之前的WUS时间窗口接收的WUS,确定是否启动所述长DRX周期范围内的N个短DRX周期对应的N个onDuration定时器。
在另一实施方式中,为了更好地指示UE的行为,避免一些不必要的唤醒或在存在数据调度的期间指示休眠,网络侧设备可以分别在所述第五DRX组的每个短DRX周期内配置一个WUS时间窗口,以通过独立的WUS指示UE启动或不启动该短DRX周期内的onDuration定时器,这样,WUS会出现在每个短DRX周期的onDuration之前的WUS时间窗口,在这种情况下,UE可以在每个短DRX周期的onDuration之前的WUS时间窗口监听WUS,并可根据监听到的WUS即接收的WUS,确定是否启动每个短DRX周期的onDuration定时器。
例如,若在某短DRX周期的onDuration之前的WUS时间窗口接收的WUS指示唤醒,则可以启动该短DRX周期的onDuration定时器,若在某短DRX周期的onDuration之前的WUS时间窗口接收的WUS指示休眠,则可以不启动该短DRX周期的onDuration定时器。其中,若一个长DRX周期包括N个短DRX周期,则可以分别根据这N个短DRX周期的onDuration之前的WUS时间窗口接收的WUS,确定是否启动对应短DRX周期的onDuration定时器。
需说明的是,前述实施方式中介绍的在各种不同情况下是否接收WUS以及接收WUS失败的情况下UE的处理行为的具体实施方案,均可以应用于本实施方式中。
其中,短DRX周期的配置,是为了在数据突发期间能够更快的进行被唤 醒和休眠之间的切换,从而在数据接续到达的阶段,能够快速的对数据进行调度。长DRX周期(即long DRX cycle)与短DRX周期(即Short DRX cycle)成整倍数关系,并且具有相同的偏移量,这样做的好处是便于在long DRX cycle和short DRX cycle之间进行切换。
例如,如图4所示,long DRX cycle为short DRX cycle的5倍,在一段期间的数据传输结束之后,如Inactivity timer超时后,UE进入short DRX cycle,其中,图中较短的突起所示位置为每个short DRX cycle中的onDuration定时器期间,short DRX cycle和long DRX cycle中的onDuration定时器长度相同,short DRX cycle配置参数中可以规定short DRX cycle的持续参数,如在进行了N个short DRX cycle之后,仍旧没有数据传输,则重新回到long DRX cycle,相应地,如果前一个long DRX cycle中没有数据调度,则UE一直处于long DRX cycle期间。而如图4所示的short DRX cycle之后,仍旧没有数据调度,UE重新进入long DRX cycle。
由于short DRX cycle是与业务相关的,只有业务需求需要短时延要求时,才配置short DRX cycle,而DRX group配置与载波相关,载波也可以与业务传输有配置绑定关系,例如,只有在Secondary DRX group上传输的业务有配置short DRX cycle的需要,此时可以针对不同的DRX group配置不同的短DRX周期参数,例如,short DRX cycle是否启动,持续短周期数目等。
当在两个DRX group里配置了相同的短DRX周期参数,或者不同的短DRX周期参数时,由于两个DRX group的数据调度情况不一致,因此短DRX周期可以按照是否启动,以及具体的参数进行分别维护。
当短DRX周期在两个DRX group独立维护时,WUS的执行可以有以下不同的方式:
方式1:当WUS只出现在long DRX cycle的onDuration之前的WUS时间窗口(WUS window)内时,即一个long DRX cyle内只有一个WUS时间窗口位置,此时WUS指示或者前述实施例介绍的各种被唤醒/休眠行为,可同时应用于该long DRX cycle中的所有可能的onDuration定时器,如图4所示,在第一个long DRX cycle之前的WUS指示on,则该long DRX cycle内的onDuration定时器(隐含在第一个较长的突起内)和4个short DRX cycle 的onDuration定时器都会启动,并监听PDCCH;而在第二个long DRX cycle的onDuration之前的WUS指示off,则第二个long DRX cycle中的全部onDuration定时器都不启动,且不监听PDCCH。
方式2:如果进入short DRX cycle之后,在每个short DRX cycle的onDuration之前也有对应的WUS配置,则每个short DRX cycle的onDuration定时器是否启动由对应的WUS指示决定。特别地,若WUS只配置在Primary DRX group内,则简单来说,Primary DRX group进入short DRX cycle后在每个short DRX cycle的onDuration之前监听WUS。
这样,在所述至少两个DRX组中的某DRX组配置有长DRX周期和短DRX周期,且该DRX组工作在短DRX周期的情况下,可以根据在各DRX周期中配置的WUS时间窗口接收WUS,并根据接收的WUS确定是否启动对应DRX周期中的onDuration定时器,从而实现有效地指示该DRX组如何进行唤醒或休眠行为。
本实施例中的唤醒信号处理方法,在终端设备配置有多个DRX组的情况下,通过接收用于指示是否启动全部DRX组的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器的WUS,从而终端设备可基于该WUS,决定在各DRX组的下一个DRX周期是否启动onDuration定时器。本发明实施例针对终端设备配置有多个DRX组的情况,提供了一种较为简便的WUS指示方案。
本发明实施例提供一种唤醒信号配置方法,应用于网络侧设备。参见图5,图5是本发明实施例提供的唤醒信号配置方法的流程图,如图5所示,包括以下步骤:
步骤501、在为终端设备配置了至少两个非连续接收DRX组的情况下,为所述终端设备配置唤醒信号WUS;

本实施例中,在网络侧设备为终端设备配置多个DRX组的情况下,可以为终端设备配置一个WUS,通过一个WUS来控制所述至少两个DRX组共同工作,也即通过该WUS可以指示所述至少两个DRX组中的全部DRX的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器均启动或均休眠。

本实施例中的唤醒信号配置方法,在为终端设备配置了至少两个DRX组的情况下,通过为所述终端设备配置用于指示是否启动全部DRX的下一个DRX周期的onDuration定时器的WUS,可使终端设备基于该WUS,确定在各DRX组的下一个DRX周期是否启动onDuration定时器,提供了一种较为简便的WUS指示方案。
可选的,所述方法还可以包括:
