Description

一种监测方法及装置
本申请要求于2020年01月23日提交国家知识产权局、申请号为202010077106.7、申请名称为“一种监测方法及装置”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
本申请实施例涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种监测方法及装置。
背景技术
目前,在终端处于空闲(idle)态或非激活(inactive)态时,若终端需要向网络设备发送上行业务数据,则终端需要发起随机接入过程,从idle/inactive态切换到连接(connected)态后向网络设备发送上行业务数据。其中,若上行业务数据为小包数据,数据量较少,此时,发送较少的数据也需要发起一遍完整的随机接入过程,则会加大终端的信令开销和功率消耗。
为了降低终端的信令开销以及功率消耗,终端可以在随机接入过程中向网络设备发送小包数据。网络设备接收到小包数据之后,可以向终端发送一个下行数据,包括用于确认小包数据发送完毕的底层确认消息和包括网络设备的高层反馈信息。
但是,底层确认消息的反馈速度一般是比较快的,比如5ms之内就能完成,而高层反馈信息的生成一般是比较慢的,可能需要200ms以上。如果网络设备确定将高层反馈信息发送给终端,则网络设备需要等到高层反馈信息生成之后,再发送用于调度相应物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel,PDCCH)及相应消息,间隔时间较长,则对于终端来说在预先配置的搜索空间中监测相应PDCCH持续监测时间较长,加大了终端的功率消耗。
发明内容

为达到上述目的,本申请实施例采用如下技术方案:

非激活(inactive)态,可以称为无线资源控制非激活(radio resource control inactive,RRC-inactive)状态。在非连接态下,终端和网络设备(例如接入网设备)不连接,但网络设备中可以保存有终端的上下文,终端可以从网络设备接收寻呼消息、同步信号、广播消息、或系统信息中的一种或多种,但无法和网络设备进行语音通话、大数据量上网等数据传输。
其中,空闲态或者非激活态可以称为非连接态或者休眠状态。
为了降低终端处于非连接态时发送小包数据的功率消耗,终端通过随机接入过程或者配置调度(configuration grant,CG)过程向网络设备发送小包数据。其中,随机接入过程可以包括四步随机接入过程和二步随机接入过程。小包数据(small data)可以指比特数小于等于预设值的数据,该预设值根据需要设置。示例性的,小包数据可以为几比特(bit)的数据、几十bit或者几百bit的数据,例如预设值可以是100比特、10比特等。
参照图1a,为四步随机接入过程,可以包括:步骤(1)、终端向网络设备发送第一消息(msg1),通知网络设备有一个随机接入请求。其中,第一消息也可以称为随机接入前导序列(random access preamble)。步骤(2)、网络设备接收到msg1后,向终端发送随机接入响应,随机接入响应也可以称为第二消息(msg2)。步骤(3)、终端接收到随机接入响应后,向网络设备发送第三消息(msg3),其中msg3可以包括小包数据以及其他信息。步骤(4)、网络设备向终端发送第四消息(msg4),第四消息可以包括网络设备的底层确定的响应消息以及网络设备的高层确定的与小包数据对应的高层反馈信息。其中网络设备既可以包括接入网设备,也可以包括核心网设备,还可以包括服务供应商的设备(如服务器)等。需要说明的是,在第一步终端发送random access preamble给网络设备的时候,终端所使用的preamble(前导序列)是从一个可选的preamble集合中随机选择的。msg2/msg3/msg4都是需要网络设备通过物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel,PDCCH)调度给终端,如:在发送msg2/msg3/msg4之前,网络设备会发送用于调度msg2/msg3/msg4的PDCCH,在PDCCH指示的时频资源位置上发送msg2/msg3/msg4。
参照图1b,为两步随机接入过程,可以包括:步骤(1)、终端向网络设备发送msgA,msgA可以包括preamble,还可以包括小包数据以及其他信息。步骤(2)、网络设备接收msgA,向终端回复msgB,msgB可以包括网络设备的底层确定的响应消息以及网络设备的高层确定的与小包数据对应的高层反馈信息。其中网络设备既可以包括接入网设备,也可以包括核心网设备,还可以包括服务供应商的设备(如服务器)等。需要说明的是,在终端发送msgA给网络设备的时候,终端所使用的preamble是从一个可选的preamble集合中随机选择的。后面的msgB都是需要网络设备通过PDCCH调度给终端,如:在发送msgB之前,网络设备会发送用于调度msgB的PDCCH,在PDCCH指示的时频资源位置上发送msgB。
参照图1c,为CG过程,可以包括:步骤(1)、网络设备向终端发送上行资源配置信息,为终端配置用于发送上行数据的上行资源。步骤(2)、终端在网络设备配置的上行资源上,向网络设备发送包括小包数据的配置调度消息。步骤(3)、网络设备接收小包数据,向终端发送配置调度响应,配置调度响应可以包括网络设备的底层确定的响应消息以及网络设备的高层确定的与小包数据对应的高层反馈信息。其中网络设备既可以包括接入网设备,也可以包括核心网设备,还可以包括服务供应商的设备(如服务器)等。
其中,在终端与网络设备通信时,终端与网络设备之间可以建立如图2所示的协议层,如图2所示,终端可以包括传输控制协议(transmission control protocol,TCP)/因特网协议(internet protocol,IP)层、物理层(physical,PHY)。网络设备可以包括TCP/IP层、物理层。终端的TCP/IP层可以称为终端的高层,终端的物理层可以称为终端的底层,网络设备的TCP/IP层可以称为网络设备的高层,网络设备的物理层可以称为网络设备的底层。
在终端向网络设备发送上行数据时,终端的TCP/IP生成上行数据,如:小包数据,将上行数据打包好传给终端的物理层,终端的物理层对上行数据编码调制后通过空口传给网络设备的物理层。网络设备的物理层接收到上行数据后,网络设备的物理层一般会发给终端的物理层一个“物理层的响应消息”,以便终端知道在物理层这个上行数据包已经正确传输了,同时,网络设备的物理层可以解码解调制该上行数据,并将解码解调后的上行数据传给网络设备的TCP/IP层。网络设备的TCP/IP层收到上行数据后,生成一个TCP/IP层的高层反馈信息,并通过网络设备的物理层反馈给终端(如图2中虚线所示)。因网络设备的 TCP/IP层生成高层反馈信息、发送高层反馈信息的时间比较长,通常是200ms,所以,终端发送完小包数据之后,往往都会在较长的一定时间之后接收一个高层反馈信息。此时,若终端在较长的时间内一直监测用于调度高层反馈信息的调度信息,则加大终端的功率消耗。
为解决终端的功率消耗的较大的问题,本申请实施例提供一种降低终端监测调度信息的功率消耗的监测方法。下面结合说明书附图,对本申请实施例提供的降低终端监测调度信息的功率消耗的监测方法进行描述。
本申请实施例提供的监测方法可用于第四代(4th generation,4G)系统、长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)系统、第五代(5th generation,5G)系统、新空口(new radio,NR)系统、NR-车与任何事物通信(vehicle-to-everything,V2X)系统、物联网系统中的任一系统,还可以适用于其他下一代通信系统等,不予限制。下面以图3所示通信系统为例,对本申请实施例提供的监测方法进行描述。

在图3所示系统中,为减低终端的功率消耗,处于非连接态的终端通过msg3/msgA/配置调度消息向网络设备发送上行数据之后,可以在一段时间段内不监测用于调度msg4或msgB或配置调度响应的调度信息,之后再开始监测该调度信息。或者,设置两个时间段,终端通过msg3/msgA/配置调度消息向网络设备发送上行数据之后,在第一个时间段内监测用于调度msg4或msgB或配置调度响应的调度信息,在第一个时间段内监测到了调度信息,在第二个时间段就不监测了;或者,在第一个时间段内监测到一个指示信息,该指示信息指示终端是否要在第二个时间段监测,根据该指示信息在第二个时间段内监测。如此,可以降低终端发送msg3/msgA/配置调度消息之后,持续监测PDCCH带来的功率消耗。具体的, 该监测方法可参照图5~图10对应的实施例中所述。

图5为本申请实施例提供的一种监测方法,通过设置一不监测调度信息的时间段加大终端休眠时长,降低终端的功率消耗。如图5所示,该方法可以包括:
步骤501:终端向网络设备发送第一消息。
其中,终端可以为图3所示通信系统中处于空闲态或者非激活态的任一终端。网络设备可以为图3所示通信系统中能够为该终端提供网络服务的任一网络设备。
其中,第一消息可以包括上行数据。终端可以根据下述方式得到该上行数据:终端的高层生成数据,并将生成的数据发送给终端的底层,终端的底层对接收到的数据进行编码调制后得到上行数据。终端的高层、终端的底层的相关描述可参照图2中所述,终端的高层生成数据的过程以及终端的底层对数据进行编码调制的过程可参照现有技术,不予赘述。
需要说明的是,本申请各实施例中,上行数据、下行数据为相对概念,上行数据可以指从终端发往网络设备的数据,下行数据可以指从网络设备发往终端的数据。
示例性的,终端可以通过四步随机接入过程或两步随机接入过程或者配置调度过程向网络设备发送第一消息,该发送方式参照方式(1.1)~方式(1.3)所述:
方式(1.1)、终端通过四步随机接入过程中的msg3向网络设备发送第一消息。
例如,终端可以将上行数据包括在第一消息中,将第一消息包括在msg3中向网络设备发送;或者,将上行数据包括在第一消息中,将第一消息作为msg3向网络设备发送,此时,第一消息可以称为msg3。
方式(1.2)、终端通过两步随机接入过程中的msgA向网络设备发送第一消息。
例如,终端可以将上行数据包括在第一消息中,将第一消息包括在msgA中向网络设备发送;或者,终端将上行数据包括在第一消息中,将第一消息作为msgA向网络设备发送,此时,第一消息可以称为msgA。
方式(1.3)、终端通过配置调度消息向网络设备发送第一消息。
例如,终端可以将上行数据包括的第一消息中,将第一消息包括在配置调度消息中,在网络设备预配置给终端的上行传输资源上向网络设备发送配置调度消息;或者,终端可以将上行数据包括在第一消息中,将第一消息作为配置调度消息,在网络设备预配置给终端的上行传输资源上向网络设备发送第一消息,此时,第一消息可以称为配置调度消息。
其中,本申请实施例不限制配置调度消息的命名,配置调度消息还可以命名为预配置消息或者预设置消息或者其他名称的消息,不予限制。
因上述三种发送方式传输的数据量有限,如:传输数据量较少的数据,为了保证数据传输的可靠性。示例性的,在执行步骤501之前,终端确定上行数据的数据量是否小于预设值,当确定上行数据的数据量小于预设值时,向网络设备发送第一消息,如:终端开启自身的射频模块,通过射频模块采用上述方式(1.1)~方式(1.3)中任一方式向网络设备 发送第一消息。射频模块可以为图4中所述的通信接口。
其中,预设值可以根据需要设置,不予限制。若上行数据的数据量小于预设值,则表示该上行数据为小包数据,反之,若上行数据的数据量大于或等于预设值,则表示该上行数据为非小包数据。具体的,预设值可以在标准中先规定好,也可以通过网络设备的系统消息进行广播配置。
步骤502:网络设备接收第一消息,向终端发送第一调度信息以及第一下行数据。
其中,第一调度信息可以用于调度第一下行数据。网络设备向终端发送第一调度信息以及第一下行数据可以包括:网络设备通过PDCCH向终端发送第一调度信息,并在第一调度信息所指示的时频资源位置上向终端发送第一下行数据。
其中,第一下行数据可以为与上行数据对应的高层反馈信息,第一下行数据可以为小包数据,即第一下行数据的数据量小于预设值。示例性的,网络设备可以根据下述方式得到该第一下行数据:网络设备的底层接收到第一消息后,对第一消息包括的上行数据进行解码解调后发送给网络设备的高层;网络设备的高层接收到网络设备的底层发送的数据后,生成与该数据对应的高层反馈信息,并将生成的高层反馈信息发送给网络设备的底层,网络设备的底层对该高层反馈信息进行编码调制得到第一下行数据。
其中,网络设备的高层、网络设备的底层的相关描述可参照图2中所述,网络设备的高层生成高层反馈信息的过程以及网络设备的底层对高层反馈信息进行编码调制的过程可参照现有技术,不予赘述。
示例性的,与终端发送第一消息对应,网络设备可以通过下述方式(2.1)~方式(2.3)中任一方式向终端发送第一下行数据:
方式(2.1)、网络设备通过四步随机接入过程中的msg4向终端发送第一下行数据。
方式(2.2)、网络设备通过两步随机接入过程中的msgB向终端发送第一下行数据。

方式(2.3)中,除包括第一下行数据之外,配置调度响应还可以包括现有配置调度响应中包括的用于指示网络设备接收到第一消息的底层确认消息以及其他信息,不予限制。
其中,本申请实施例不限制配置调度响应的命名,配置调度响应还可以命名为预配置信息或者预设置信息或者其他名称的信息,不予限制。
需要说明的是,调度信息可以例如为PDCCH或者其他。例如,第一调度信息可以命名为第一PDCCH,第二调度信息可以命名为第二PDCCH等。
步骤503:终端在发送第一消息后的第一时间段内,不监测第一调度信息。
其中,第一时间段可以用于限定终端不监测调度信息的时长。第一时间段的时长、第一时间段的起始时刻和/或结束时刻可以由网络设备预配置给终端;或者,第一时间段的时长、第一时间段的起始时刻和/或结束时刻由协议预先规定好,不予限制。
以第一时间段的时长、第一时间段的起始时刻和/或结束时刻可以由网络设备预配置给终端为例,终端可以接收来自网络设备的广播消息,该广播消息中包括第一时间段的时长、第一时间段的起始时刻和/或结束时刻等相关配置,终端从广播消息中获取第一时间段的时长、第一时间端的起始时刻和/或结束时刻。
其中,第一时间段的时长可以根据需要设置。例如,第一时间段可以根据网络设备的高层生成高层反馈信息的时间、网络设备的底层对高层反馈信息进行编码调制的时间确定, 如:可以将第一时间段的时长设置为小于或等于网络设备的高层生成高层反馈信息的时间和网络设备的底层对高层反馈信息进行编码调制的时间的总和。
示例性的,终端可以根据第一时间段的时长、第一时间段的起始时刻和/或结束时刻配置第一定时器(timing),该第一定时器的时长等于第一时间段的时长,第一定时器的启动时间对应第一时间段的起始时刻,在终端发送第一消息之后,启动第一定时器,在第一定时器的有效期内/运行期间不监测第一调度信息。本申请各实施例中,终端不监测第一调度信息可以指终端关闭自身的射频模块,停止收发数据/信息的功能。
其中,第一时间段的起始时刻与发送第一消息的结束时刻有关。一种可能的设计中,第一时间段的起始时刻可以设置为等于或晚于首次发送第一消息的结束时刻,如:第一时间段的起始时刻可以为首次发送第一消息的结束时刻,或者,第一时间段的起始时刻可以为首次发送第一消息的结束时刻之后、与首次发送第一消息的结束时刻间隔几个时隙/符号的时域位置。如图6a~图6b所示,第一时间段的起始时刻为发送第一消息的结束时刻t0。
又一种可能的设计中,为了保证第一消息成功发送,第一时间段的起始时刻可以设置为等于或晚于确定成功发送第一消息的时刻。例如,第一时间段的起始时刻可以为确定成功发送第一消息的时刻,或者,第一时间段的起始时刻为确定成功发送第一消息的时刻之后、与确定成功发送第一消息的时刻间隔几个时隙/符号的时域位置。例如,如图6d所示,第一时间段的起始时刻为确定第一消息成功发送的时刻t1。
本申请实施例中,终端可以在首次发送第一消息后的第三时间段内监测调度第一消息重传的信息,若在第三时间段内未收到调度第一消息重传的信息,则确定成功发送第一消息,反之,若监测到用于调度第一消息重传的信息,则根据第一消息重传的信息向网络设备重新发送第一消息,并在重新发送第一消息之后启动第一时间段。第一消息重传的信息可以为第一消息重传指示,第一消息重传指示可以指示终端重新向网络设备发送第一消息。
其中,第三时间段的时长、第三时间段的起始时刻和/或结束时刻可以由网络设备配置给终端,如:由网络设备通过广播消息配置给终端等;或者,第三时间段的时长、第三时间段的起始时刻和/或结束时刻可以由协议预先规定好。
示例性的,终端可以根据第三时间段的时长、第三时间段的起始时刻和/或结束时刻配置第三定时器,该第三定时器的时长等于第三时间段的时长,第三定时器的启动时间对应第三时间段的起始时刻,终端发送第一消息后,启动第三定时器,在第三定时器的有效期内/运行期间监测调度第一消息重传的信息。
其中,第三时间段的起始时刻可以设置为等于或者晚于首次发送第一消息的结束时刻,如:第三时间段的起始时刻为第一消息的结束时刻,或者,第三时间段的起始时刻为首次发送第一消息的结束时刻之后。例如,如图6d所示,第三时间段的起始时刻为首次发送第一消息的结束时刻t0。
需要说明的是,本申请各实施例不限制各个时间段的命名,时间段还可以命名为时间窗(window)或者其他名称。例如,第一时间段可以命名为第一时间窗,第二时间段可以命名为第二时间窗,第三时间段可以命名为第三时间窗,第四时间段可以命名为第四时间窗,第五时间段可以命名为第五时间窗等。
此外,本申请实施例所述的各个定时器可以替换为计数器(counter),计数器的计数次数与每次计数时长的乘积等于定时器的时长。例如,可以将第一定时器替换为第一计数 器,第二定时器可以替换为第二计数器,第三定时器可以替换为第三计数器,第四定时器可以替换为第四计数器,第五定时器可以替换为第五计数器等。
步骤504:终端经过第一时间段后,监测第一调度信息。
其中,第一调度信息可以用于调度第一下行数据。第一调度信息、第一下行数据的相关描述可参照步骤502中所述,不予赘述。
一种可能的设计中,终端经过第一时间段之后,如在第一时间段的结束时刻开启自身的射频模块,监测第一调度信息,或者,在第一时间段的结束时刻之后的第i个时隙/符号开启自身的射频模块,监测第一调度信息,i为大于等于1的整数。例如,如图6a所示,终端在第一时间段结束之时开始监测第一调度信息,此时,未规定结束监测第一调度信息的时间。
又一种可能的设计中,在第一时间段后设置第二时间段,终端在第二时间段内开启自身的射频模块,监测第一调度信息,即为监测第一调度信息划分一时间段,在该使时间段内进行监测,节约终端的功率消耗。例如,如图6b~图6d中任一附图所示,终端在第一时间段结束之后设置第二时间段,在第二时间段内监测第一调度信息。
其中,第二时间段可以用于限制终端监测第一调度信息的时长。第二时间段的时长、第二时间段的起始时刻和/或结束时刻可以由终端根据网络设备配置确定,如:网络设备将第二时间段的时长、第二时间段的起始时刻和/或结束时刻包括在广播消息中广播出去,终端接收广播消息,从广播消息中获取第二时间段的时长、第二时间段的起始时刻和/或结束时刻。可替换的,第二时间段的时长、第二时间段的起始时刻和/或结束时刻还可以由协议预先规定好。
其中,第二时间段的起始时刻可以等于或者晚于第一时间段的结束时刻。如:第二时间段的起始时刻可以为第一时间段的结束时刻,或者,第二时间段的起始时刻可以为第一时间段的结束时刻之后、与第一时间段的结束时刻间隔几个时隙/符号的时域位置。例如,如图6b~图6d中任一附图所示,第二时间段的起始时刻为第一时间段的结束时刻之后、与第一时间段的结束时刻之间存在时间间隔的时域位置。
示例性的,终端在第二时间段内监测第一调度信息可以包括:终端确定第二时间段内的监测参数,根据第二时间段内的监测参数,监测第一调度信息。
其中,第二时间段内的监测参数可以包括:搜索空间的配置、CORESET配置、第一调度信息对应的RNTI中的一种或者多种信息。搜索空间的配置可以包括搜索空间的监测周期、需要监测的下行控制信息DCI格式、需要监测的candidate数量、需要监测的聚合等级中的一种或多种信息。各个参数的相关定义可参照现有所述,且终端根据第二时间段的监测参数监测第一调度信息的方式可参照现有所述,不予赘述。
其中,第二时间段内的监测参数也可以由终端根据网络设备配置确定,如:网络设备将第二时间段内的监测参数包括在广播消息广播出去,终端接收网络设备广播的广播消息,从广播消息中获取第二时间段内的监测参数。
需要说明的是,本申请各实施例中,第二时间段内的监测参数与第二时间段的时长、第二时间段的起始时刻和/或结束时刻可以包括在同一广播消息中配置给终端,也可以包括在不同的广播消息中配置给终端。
步骤505:终端在停止监测的条件满足时,停止监测第一调度信息。
其中,停止监测的条件可以包括下述条件(一)或者条件(二):
条件(一)、在第二时间段内成功接收到第一下行数据。
例如,若终端在第二时间段内监测到第一调度信息,根据第一调度信息指示的时频资源位置接收到第一下行数据,且第一下行数据通过校验成功被接收,则停止监测第一调度信息,以节约终端的能耗。
以图6b为例,若终端在t1时刻~t2时刻内的某个时间点,如:t1时刻~t2时刻的中间时刻,根据监测到的第一调度信息所指示的时频资源位置成功接收到第一下行数据,则终端可以从该时间点开始停止监测第一调度信息。
条件(二)、第二时间段结束。
例如,终端在第二时间段内一直未监测到第一调度信息,或者,终端在第二时间段内监测到第一调度信息,但是在第二时间段内根据第一调度信息指示的时频位置信息未接收到第一下行数据,则终端可以在第二时间段结束时停止监测第一调度信息。
停止监测的条件也可以包括条件(一)和条件(二),在第二时间段内满足条件(一)就停止监测,经过第二时间段,结束后,停止监测。
以图6b为例,若终端在t1时刻~t2时刻内一直未监测到第一调度信息或者未接收到第一下行数据,则终端可以从t2时刻开始停止监测第一调度信息。
应用图5所示方法,终端可以在发送包括上行数据的第一消息后的第一时间段内不监测用于调度第一下行数据的调度信息,而是在第一时间段结束之后再监测用于调度第一下行数据的调度信息。如此,可以通过设置第一时间段,增加终端发送第一消息到监测调度信息之间的休眠时间,降低终端的功率消耗。
例如,如图6a所示,设置第一时间段:t0时刻~t1时刻。终端向网络设备发送第一消息之后的t0时刻,启动第一时间段对应的第一定时器,在第一定时器运行期间关闭自身的射频模块,不监测第一调度信息直至第一定时器结束。在第一定时器结束时的t1时刻开启自身的射频模块,监测第一调度信息。可替换的,图6a中第一时间段的起始时刻也可以晚于t0时刻,与t0时刻间隔一个或者多个时隙/符号;或者,图6a中第一时间段的起始时刻也可以等于或者晚于确定成功发送第一消息的时刻(图6a中未示出)。
又例如,如图6b所示,设置第一时间段:t0时刻~t1时刻,第二时间段:t1时刻~t2时刻。终端向网络设备发送第一消息之后的t0时刻,启动第一时间段对应的第一定时器,在第一定时器运行期间关闭自身的射频模块,不监测第一调度信息直至第一定时器结束。在第一定时器结束时的t1时刻,启动第二时间段对应的第二定时器,在第二定时器运行期间开启自身的射频模块,监测第一调度信息。可替换的,图6b中第一时间段的起始时刻也可以晚于t0时刻,与t0时刻间隔一个或者多个时隙/符号,或者,图6b中第一时间段的起始时刻也可以等于或者晚于确定成功发送第一消息的时刻(图6b中未示出);图6b中第二时间段的起始时刻也可以晚于t1时刻,与t1时刻间隔一个或者多个时隙/符号。
又例如,如图6c所示,设置第一时间段:t0时刻~t1时刻,第二时间段:t2时刻~t3时刻。终端向网络设备发送第一消息之后的t0时刻,启动第一时间段对应的第一定时器,在第一定时器运行期间关闭自身的射频模块,不监测第一调度信息直至第一定时器结束。在第一定时器结束之后的t2时刻,启动第二时间段对应的第二定时器,在第二定时器运行期间开启自身的射频模块,监测第一调度信息。可替换的,图6c中第一时间段的起始时刻也可以 晚于t0时刻,与t0时刻间隔一个或者多个时隙/符号,或者,图6c中第一时间段的起始时刻也可以等于或者晚于确定成功发送第一消息的时刻(图6c中未示出)。
再例如,如图6d所示,设置三个时间段:第一时间段:t1时刻~t2时刻,第二时间段:t3时刻~t4时刻,第三时间段:时刻t0~时刻t1。终端向网络设备发送第一消息之后的t0时刻,启动第三时间段对应的第三定时器,在第三定时器运行期间开启自身的射频模块,监测调度第一消息重传的信息,若未监测到确定第一消息发送成功,并在第一消息发送成功后的t1时刻开启第一时间段对应的第一定时器。在第一定时器运行期间关闭自身的射频模块,不监测第一调度信息直至第一定时器结束。在第一定时器结束之后的t3时刻,启动第二时间段对应的第二定时器,在第二定时器运行期间开启自身的射频模块,监测第一调度信息。可替换的,图6d中第三时间段的起始时刻也可以晚于t0时刻,与t0时刻间隔一个或者多个时隙/符号,图6d中第二时间段的起始时刻也可以为时刻t2,不予限制。
下面结合图7所示的用户通过手机收发微信的场景,以终端为手机,网络设备为基站,手机处于空闲态,手机通过两步随机接入过程发送上行数据,基站的高层接收到上行数据、生成上行数据对应的高层反馈信息到基站的底层对高层反馈信息进行编码调制发送出去的时间为200ms,手机与基站间的传输时延为50ms为例,对图5所示监测方法进行描述。
如图7所示,手机处于空闲态,能接收基站发送的广播消息。
基站发送广播消息,该广播消息中包括第一时间段的相关配置、第二时间段的相关配置以及第二时间段内的监测参数。第一时间段的相关配置包括第一时间段的时长、第一时间段的起始时刻和/或结束时刻,第二时间段的相关配置包括第二时间段的时长、第二时间段的起始时刻和/或结束时刻。第一时间段的时长可以设置为100ms,第二时间段的时长可以设置为100ms。
手机监听到该广播消息,从广播消息中获取第一时间段的相关配置、第二时间段的相关配置以及第二时间段内的监测参数,根据获取到的信息配置第一时间段对应的第一定时器以及第二时间段对应的第二定时器。
在具体场景中,在当用户通过手机发送微信消息时,用户发送的微信消息只有一个数字或一个文字,数据量比较小,终端设备可以不进入连接态,在非连接态通过小包数据的发送方式发送这个数据量比较小的微信消息。此时,手机生成微信消息对应的数据消息,向基站发送msgA,在msgA中携带该数据消息,并在发送msgA后启动第一定时器,在第一定时器运行期间不监测用于调度msgB的调度信息。
基站的底层接收到该msgA,对该msgA进行解码解调处理后获取数据消息,并将数据消息发送给基站的高层,基站的高层将其转发给微信的服务器,微信的服务器会解析微信消息并发送一个高层反馈信息。基站的高层从服务器获取该高层反馈信息,如“消息发送成功”,并将高层反馈信息发送给基站的底层,基站的底层对高层反馈信息进行编码调制处理得到下行数据,并将下行数据以及基站的底层确定的接收到msgA的响应消息携带在msgB,向手机发送用于调度msgB的调度信息以及msgB。
手机在第一定时器停止后,启动第二定时器,开始根据第二时间段内的监测参数监测调度msgB的调度信息。若在第二定时器运行期间监测到调度msgB的调度信息,则停止监测,并在调度msgB的调度信息所指示的时频资源位置上接收msgB,从接收到的msgB中获取到高层反馈信息,将接收到的高层反馈信息:“消息发送成功”呈现给用户。当然,图7 所呈现的“消息发送成功”仅为示例,也可以不显示该消息或通过其他显示方式表示发送成功。
与手机发送完msgA就监测用于调度msgB的调度信息现有监测方法相比,现有监测方法中手机需要占用200ms左右的时间才能监测到用于调度msgB的调度信息,而图7所示方法的监测调度信息的时间为100ms左右,监测时间缩短,手机处于休眠的时间加长,减少手机的功率消耗。
图5、图7所示方法针对将网络设备的底层确定的接收到第一消息的响应消息以及网络设备的高层确定的上行数据对应的高层反馈信息发送给终端为例,对处于空闲态或非激活态的终端监测调度信息的方法进行说明。但实际应用中,网络设备接收到包括上行数据的第一消息后,可能会存在如下三种情况:情况一、网络设备在接收到包括上行数据的第一消息后,恰巧有下行业务需要终端切换到连接态,此时,网络设备可以将网络设备的底层确定的接收到第一消息的响应消息尽快发送给终端,而将网络设备的高层确定的上行数据对应的高层反馈信息作为正常的下行数据,待终端切换到连接态时发送给终端。情况二、网络设备接收到包括上行数据的第一消息后,将网络设备的底层确定的接收到第一消息的响应消息以及网络设备的高层确定的上行数据对应的高层反馈信息包括在同一下行数据中发送给终端。情况三、网络设备在接收到包括上行数据的第一消息后,先将网络设备的底层确定的接收到第一消息的响应消息尽快发送给终端,再将网络设备的高层确定的上行数据对应的高层反馈信息随后调度给终端,同时,指示终端在监测到调度响应消息后的调度信息后的某个时间段去监测用于调度高层反馈信息的调度信息。
对于终端来说,网络设备采用哪种情况发送下行数据是不可知的,为了保证终端处于空闲态或非激活态时能够接收到网络设备发送的下行数据,同时降低终端监测用于调度下行数据的调度信息的功率消耗,本申请实施例又提供一种监测方法,为终端设置两个时间段,终端在其中一个时间段内监测用于调度网络设备的底层反馈的响应消息的调度信息,在另一个时间段内监测用于调度网络设备的高层反馈的高层反馈信息的调度信息。具体的,该方法可以如图8所示。
图8为本申请实施例提供的一种监测方法,该方法由终端执行,该终端处于空闲态或非激活态。如图8所示,该方法可以包括:
步骤801、终端向网络设备发送第一消息。
其中,第一消息的相关描述、步骤801的执行过程可参照步骤501所述,如:通过msg3或者msgB或者配置调度消息向网络设备发送第一消息,不予详述。
网络设备接收第一消息,执行步骤802a或者步骤802b或者步骤802c:
步骤802a:网络设备向终端发送第一调度信息以及第一下行数据。
其中,第一调度信息可以用于调度第一下行数据。网络设备向终端发送第一调度信息以及第一下行数据可以包括:网络设备通过PDCCH向终端发送第一调度信息,并在第一调度信息所指示的时频资源位置上向终端发送第一下行数据。
其中,步骤802a中所述的第一下行数据与步骤502中所述的第一下行数据不同,步骤802a中所述的第一下行数据可以包括网络设备的底层确定的响应消息,该响应消息可以用于指示终端网络设备接收到第一消息,进一步的还可以用于指示终端切换到连接态。与终端发送第一消息对应,网络设备可以参照上述方式(2.1)~方式(2.3)所述方式,通过四 步随机接入过程中的msg4向终端发送第一下行数据,或者,通过两步随机接入过程中的msgA向终端发送第一下行数据,或者,通过配置调度响应向终端发送第一下行数据。
若网络设备向终端发送第一调度信息以及第一下行数据,则表示网络设备确定不将网络设备的高层确定的与上行数据对应的高层反馈信息与底层确定的响应消息包括在一起发送给终端,很可能待终端切换到连接态时,将上行数据对应的高层反馈信息作为发送给终端,终端在监测到第一调度信息后,无需在空闲态或非激活态下再进行调度信息的监测。反之,若网络设备希望在发送包括响应消息的第一上行数据之后向终端发送上行数据对应的高层反馈信息,则网络设备可以执行步骤802b。
步骤802b:网络设备向终端发送第一调度信息以及第一下行数据,向终端发送第二调度信息以及第二下行数据。
其中,第一调度信息可以用于调度第一下行数据。网络设备向终端发送第一调度信息以及第一下行数据可以包括:网络设备通过PDCCH向终端发送第一调度信息,并在第一调度信息所指示的时频资源位置上向终端发送第一下行数据。
其中,第二调度信息可以用于调度第二下行数据。网络设备向终端发送第二调度信息以及第二下行数据可以包括:网络设备通过PDCCH向终端发送第二调度信息,并在第二调度信息所指示的时频资源位置上向终端发送第二下行数据。
其中,步骤802b中所述的第一下行数据与上述步骤502、步骤802a中所述的第一下行数据均不同,步骤802b中所述的第一下行数据可以包括网络设备的底层确定的响应消息以及指示信息。该响应消息可以用于指示终端网络设备接收到第一消息,进一步的还可以用于指示终端切换到连接态。该指示信息可以用于指示终端在监测第一调度信息之后的第五时间段内监测第二调度信息,还可以用于指示第五时间段内的监测参数以及其他信息,如:第五时间段的时长、第五时间段的起始时刻和/或结束时刻。
与终端发送第一消息对应,网络设备可以参照上述方式(2.1)~方式(2.3)所述方式,通过四步随机接入过程中的msg4向终端发送第一下行数据,或者,通过两步随机接入过程中的msgA向终端发送第一下行数据,或者,通过配置调度响应向终端发送第一下行数据。
在步骤802b中,网络设备将网络设备的底层确定的响应消息与网络设备的高层确定的高层反馈信息解耦发送。网络设备发送第一调度信息的时间早于网络设备发送第二调度信息的时间。示例性的,网络设备发送的第一调度信息的时间根据网络设备的底层确定响应消息的时间而定,网络设备发送第二调度信息的时间可以根据网络设备的高层确定高层反馈信息至网络设备的底层接收并处理高层反馈信息的时间而定。
其中,网络设备的高层、网络设备的底层的相关描述可参照图2中所述,网络设备的高层生成高层反馈信息的过程以及网络设备的底层对高层反馈信息进行编码调制的过程可参照现有技术,不予赘述。
步骤802c:网络设备不向终端发送第一调度信息以及第一下行数据,向终端发送第二调度信息以及第二下行数据。
其中,步骤802c所述的第二下行数据与步骤802b所述的第二下行数据包括的内容不同,步骤802c所述的第二下行数据不仅可以包括与上行数据对应的高层反馈信息,还包括网络设备的底层确定的响应消息。与终端发送第一消息对应,网络设备可以参照上述方式(2.1)~方式(2.3)所述方式,通过四步随机接入过程中的msg4向终端发送第二下行数 据,或者,通过两步随机接入过程中的msgA向终端发送第二下行数据,或者,通过配置调度响应向终端发送第二下行数据。
即在步骤802c中,网络设备将网络设备的底层确定的响应消息与网络设备的高层确定的高层反馈信息一起包括在第二下行数据中发送给终端。此时,网络设备发送第二调度信息的时间可以根据网络设备的高层确定高层反馈信息至网络设备的底层接收并处理高层反馈信息的时间而定。
步骤803:终端在发送所述第一消息后的第四时间段内,监测第一调度信息。
其中,第四时间段可以用于限制终端监测第一调度信息的时长。第四时间段对应网络设备的底层向终端反馈响应消息的时间。第四时间段的时长、第四时间段的起始时刻和/或结束时刻可以由终端根据网络设备配置确定,如:网络设备将第四时间段的时长、第四时间段的起始时刻和/或结束时刻包括在广播消息中广播出去,终端接收广播消息,从广播消息中获取第四时间段的时长、第四时间段的起始时刻和/或结束时刻。可替换的,第四时间段的时长、第四时间段的起始时刻和/或结束时刻还可以由协议预先规定好,不予限制。
示例性的,终端可以根据第四时间段的时长、第四时间段的起始时刻和/或结束时刻配置第四定时器,该第四定时器的时长等于第四时间段的时长,第四定时器的启动时间对应第四时间段的起始时刻,在终端发送第一消息之后,启动第四定时器,在第四定时器的有效期内/运行期间监测第一调度信息。
其中,第四时间段的起始时刻与发送第一消息的结束时刻有关。一种可能的设计中,第四时间段的起始时刻可以等于或晚于首次发送第一消息的结束时刻,如:第四时间段的起始时刻可以为首次发送第一消息的结束时刻,或者,第四时间段的起始时刻可以为首次发送第一消息的结束时刻之后、与首次发送第一消息的结束时刻间隔几个时隙/符号的时域位置。如图9a所示,第四时间段的起始时刻为发送第一消息的结束时刻t0。
又一种可能的设计中,为了保证第一消息成功发送,第四时间段的起始时刻可以设置为等于或晚于确定成功发送第一消息的时刻。例如,第四时间段的起始时刻可以为确定成功发送第一消息的时刻,或者,第四时间段的起始时刻为确定成功发送第一消息的时刻之后、与确定成功发送第一消息的时刻间隔几个时隙/符号的时域位置。如图9b所示,第四时间段的起始时刻为确定第一消息成功发送的时刻t1。
其中,终端可以通过在第四时间段内监测调度第一消息重发的信息来确定第一消息是否发送成功。第四时间段的相关描述以及确定第一消息是否发送成功的具体实现过程可参照步骤403中所述,不予赘述。
示例性的,终端在第四时间段内监测第一调度信息可以包括:终端确定第四时间段内的监测参数,根据第四时间段内的监测参数,监测第一调度信息。
其中,第四时间段内的监测参数可以包括:搜索空间的配置、CORESET配置、第一调度信息对应的RNTI中的一种或者多种信息。搜索空间的配置可以包括搜索空间的监测周期、需要监测的下行控制信息DCI格式、需要监测的candidate数量、需要监测的聚合等级中的一种或多种信息。各个参数的相关定义可参照现有所述,且终端根据第四时间段的监测参数监测第一调度信息的方式可参照现有所述,不予赘述。
其中,第四时间段内的监测参数也可以由终端根据网络设备配置确定,如:网络设备将第四时间段内的监测参数包括在广播消息广播出去,终端接收网络设备广播的广播消息, 从广播消息中获取第四时间段内的监测参数。
需要说明的是,本申请各实施例中,第四时间段内的监测参数与第四时间段的时长、第四时间段的起始时刻和/或结束时刻可以包括在同一广播消息中配置给终端,也可以包括在不同的广播消息中配置给终端,不予限制。
步骤804:终端在第四时间段之后的第五时间段内,监测第二调度信息。
示例性的,终端确定在第四时间段内未监测到第一调度信息时,在第四时间段之后的第五时间段内监测第二调度信息;或者,终端确定第一下行数据包括指示信息,且指示信息用于指示在第五时间段内监测第二调度信息时,根据指示信息在第五时间段内监测第二调度信息。若终端确定在第四时间段内监测到第一调度信息,根据第一调度信息指示的时频资源位置接收到第一下行数据中未包括指示信息,则不在第四时间段之后的第五时间段内,监测第二调度信息。
其中,第五时间段可以用于限制终端监测第二调度信息的时长。第五时间段对应网络设备的高层向终端发送高层反馈信息的时间。一种可能的设计中,第五时间段的时长、第五时间段的起始时刻和/或结束时刻可以由终端根据网络设备配置确定,如:网络设备将第五时间段的时长、第五时间段的起始时刻和/或结束时刻包括在广播消息中广播出去,终端接收广播消息,从广播消息中获取第五时间段的时长、第五时间段的起始时刻和/或结束时刻。又一种可能的设计中,第五时间段的时长、第五时间段的起始时刻和/或结束时刻可以包括在上述指示信息中配置给终端。再一种可能的设计中,第五时间段的时长、第五时间段的起始时刻和/或结束时刻还可以由协议预先规定好,不予限制。
示例性的,终端可以根据第五时间段的时长、第五时间段的起始时刻和/或结束时刻配置第五定时器,该第五定时器的时长等于第五时间段的时长,第五定时器的启动时间对应第五时间段的起始时刻,在终端发送第一消息之后,启动第五定时器,在第五定时器的有效期内/运行期间监测第二调度信息。
其中,第五时间段的起始时刻可以等于或晚于第四时间段的结束时刻。如:第五时间段的起始时刻可以为第四时间段的结束时刻,或者,第五时间段的起始时刻可以为第四时间段的结束时刻之后、与第四时间段的结束时刻间隔几个时隙/符号的时域位置。
示例性的,终端在第五时间段内监测第二调度信息可以包括:终端确定第五时间段内的监测参数,根据第五时间段内的监测参数,监测第二调度信息。
其中,第五时间段内的监测参数可以包括:搜索空间的配置、CORESET配置、第二调度信息对应的RNTI中的一种或者多种信息。搜索空间的配置可以包括搜索空间的监测周期、需要监测的下行控制信息DCI格式、需要监测的candidate数量、需要监测的聚合等级中的一种或多种信息。各个参数的相关定义可参照现有所述,且终端根据第五时间段的监测参数监测第二调度信息的方式可参照现有所述,不予赘述。
需要说明的是,为了降低终端的功率消耗,可以将第五时间段对应的搜索空间的监测周期设置为大于或等于第四时间段对应的搜索空间的监测周期。
其中,第五时间段内的监测参数也可以由终端根据网络设备配置确定,如:网络设备将第五时间段内的监测参数包括在广播消息广播出去,终端接收网络设备广播的广播消息,从广播消息中获取第五时间段内的监测参数;或者,网络设备将第五时间段内的监测参数包括在上述指示信息中配置给终端。
需要说明的是,本申请各实施例中,当通过广播消息向终端配置第五时间段内的监测参数、第五时间段的时长、第五时间段的起始时刻和/或结束时刻时,第五时间段内的监测参数与第五时间段的时长、第五时间段的起始时刻和/或结束时刻可以包括在同一广播消息中配置给终端,也可以包括在不同的广播消息中配置给终端,不予限制。
进一步的,为了避免终端无限期地监测第二调度信息,图8所示方法还可以包括:在停止监测的条件满足时,停止监测第二调度信息。
其中,停止监测的条件可参照上述步骤504中所述,可以包括在第五时间段内成功接收到第二下行数据;或者,第五时间段结束。
例如,若终端在第五时间段内监测到第二调度信息,根据第二调度信息指示的时频资源位置接收到第二下行数据,且第二下行数据通过校验成功被接收,则停止监测第二调度信息,以节约终端的能耗。或者,终端在第五时间段内一直未监测到第二调度信息,则终端在在第五时间段结束时停止监测第二调度信息。或者,终端在第五时间段内监测到第二调度信息,但是在第五时间段内根据第二调度信息指示的时频位置信息未接收到第二下行数据,则终端可以在第五时间段结束时停止监测第二调度信息。
应用图8所示方法,终端在发送上行数据之后,可以在第四时间段内监测第一调度信息,在第五时间段内监测第二调度信息,即设置特定的时间段,在特定的时间段内监测调度信息,避免无限期监测调度信息带来的功率消耗较大的问题。同时,第七方面所述的方法中通过设置两个监测调度信息的时间段,使终端在先后两个时间段内监测用于调度下行数据的调度信息,保证在网络设备灵活发送下行数据的情况下,接收下行数据的准确性。
例如,如图9a所示,设置第四时间段:t0时刻~t1时刻,第五时间段:t2时刻~t3时刻。终端向网络设备发送第一消息之后的t0时刻,启动第四时间段对应的第四定时器,在第四定时器运行期间可以开启自身的射频模块,监测第一调度信息直至第四定时器结束。若在第四定时器运行期间监测到第一调度信息,并根据第一调度信息接收到第一下行数据,则不在第五时间段内监测第二调度信息。
又例如,如图9b所示,设置第四时间段:t0时刻~t1时刻,第五时间段:t2时刻~t3时刻。终端向网络设备发送第一消息之后的t0时刻,启动第四时间段对应的第四定时器,在第四定时器运行期间可以开启自身的射频模块,监测第一调度信息直至第四定时器结束。若在第四定时器运行期间未监测到第一调度信息,则在第四定时器结束之后的t2时刻,启动第五时间段对应的第五定时器,在第五定时器运行期间开启自身的射频模块,监测第二调度信息。
又例如,如图9c所示,设置第四时间段:t0时刻~t1时刻,第五时间段:t2时刻~t3时刻。终端向网络设备发送第一消息之后的t0时刻,启动第四时间段对应的第四定时器,在第四定时器运行期间可以开启自身的射频模块,监测第一调度信息直至第四定时器结束。若在第四定时器运行期间监测到第一调度信息,并根据第一调度信息接收到第一下行数据,且第一下行数据包括用于指示终端在第五时间段内监测第二调度信息的指示信息,则终端根据该指示信息,在t2时刻,启动第五时间段对应的第五定时器,在第五定时器运行期间开启自身的射频模块,监测第二调度信息。
下面结合图10所示的用户通过手机收发微信的场景,以终端为手机,网络设备为基站,手机处于空闲态,手机通过两步随机接入过程发送上行数据,基站的高层接收到上行数据 后,先尽快向终端反馈底层确定的响应消息,再生成上行数据对应的高层反馈信息,并将高层反馈信息发送给终端为例,对图8所示监测方法进行描述。
如图10所示,手机处于空闲态,能接收基站发送的广播消息。
基站发送广播消息,该广播消息中包括第四时间段的相关配置、第五时间段的相关配置以及第五时间段内的监测参数。第四时间段的相关配置包括第四时间段的时长、第四时间段的起始时刻和/或结束时刻,第五时间段的相关配置包括第五时间段的时长、第五时间段的起始时刻和/或结束时刻。第四时间段的时长可以设置为50ms,第五时间段的时长可以设置为100ms。
手机监听到该广播消息,从广播消息中获取第四时间段的相关配置、第五时间段的相关配置以及第五时间段内的监测参数,根据获取到的信息配置第四时间段对应的第四定时器以及第五时间段对应的第五定时器。
在具体场景中,在当用户通过手机发送微信消息时,用户发送的微信消息只有一个数字或一个文字,数据量比较小,终端设备可以不进入连接态,在非连接态通过小包数据的发送方式发送这个数据量比较小的微信消息。此时,手机生成微信消息对应的数据消息,向基站发送msgA,在msgA中携带该数据消息,在发送msgA后启动第四定时器,在第四定时器运行期间监测用于调度msgB的调度信息。
基站的底层接收到该msgA,先向终端反馈响应消息以及指示信息,如:将响应消息和指示信息携带在msgB,向手机发送用于调度msgB的调度信息以及msgB。同时,对该msgA进行解码解调处理后获取数据消息,并将数据消息发送给基站的高层,基站的高层将其转发给微信的服务器,微信的服务器会解析微信消息并发送一个高层反馈信息。基站的高层从服务器获取该高层反馈信息,如“消息发送成功”,并将高层反馈信息发送给基站的底层,基站的底层对高层反馈信息进行编码调制处理得到下行数据,并向手机发送用于调度该下行数据的调度信息以及下行数据。
手机在第四定时器运行期间,监测到用于调度msgB的调度信息,并在调度msgB的调度信息所指示的时频资源位置上接收指示信息,根据指示信息启动第五定时器,开始根据第五时间段内的监测参数监测调度下行数据的调度信息。若在第五定时器运行期间监测到调度下行数据的调度信息,则停止监测,并在调度下行数据的调度信息所指示的时频资源位置上接收下行数据,从接收到的下行数据中获取高层反馈信息,将接收到的高层反馈信息:“消息发送成功”呈现给用户。当然,图10所呈现的“消息发送成功”仅为示例,也可以不显示该消息或通过其他显示方式表示发送成功。
与手机发送完msgA就监测用于调度msgB的调度信息现有监测方法相比,现有监测方法中手机需要占用200ms左右的时间才能监测到用于调度包括响应消息以及高层反馈信息的调度信息,而图10所示方法的监测方法包括两次监测,且两次监测调度信息的总时间为150ms左右,监测时间缩短,减少手机的功率消耗。
进一步的,在图5-图10所示的监测方法中,为了更好地降低终端的功率消耗,可以将用于调度小包数据的调度信息的搜索空间均设置为与第一搜索空间不同,如:将用于调度小包数据的调度信息的搜索空间的数量设置的少一些,降低盲检次数,降低终端的功率消耗。或者,将用于调度小包数据的调度信息的搜索空间的监测周期设置为与第一搜索空间不同,如:将用于调度小包数据的调度信息的搜索空间的监测周期设置的长一些,设置为 5个时隙(slot)/10个slot,降低终端监测调度信息的频率,进而降低终端的功率消耗。
其中,第一搜索空间可以为用于监测用于调度非小包数据的调度信息的搜索空间。第一搜索空间可以称为随机接入搜索空间(ra-search space)。用于调度小包数据的调度信息的搜索空间可以称为随机接入搜索空间小包数据(ra-search space small data)或者小包数据随机接入搜索空间,还可以称为专用搜索空间等,不予限制。
例如,当第一下行数据为小包数据时,可以将第一调度信息的搜索空间设置为与第一搜索空间相同,且第一调度信息的搜索空间的监测周期与第一搜索空间的监测周期不同;或者,将第一调度信息的搜索空间设置为与第一搜索空间不同。当第二下行数据为小包数据时,可以将第二调度信息的搜索空间设置为与第一搜索空间相同,且第二调度信息的搜索空间的监测周期与第一搜索空间的监测周期不同;或者,将第二调度信息的搜索空间设置为与第一搜索空间不同。
其中,在图5所示方法中,第一调度信息的搜索空间可以指第二时间段内的搜索空间,第一调度信息的搜索空间的监测周期可以指第二时间段内的搜索空间的监测周期。
在图8所示方法中,第一调度信息的搜索空间可以指第四时间段内的搜索空间,第一调度信息的搜索空间的监测周期可以指第四时间段内的搜索空间的监测周期。第二调度信息的搜索空间可以指第五时间段内的搜索空间,第二调度信息的搜索空间的监测周期可以指第五时间段内的搜索空间的监测周期。
例如,以四步随机接入过程,用于调度小包数据的调度信息的搜索空间称为专用搜索空间为例,如图11a所示,终端可以在随机接入搜索空间(ra-search space)内监测用于调度msg2的调度信息、在ra-search space内监测用于调度msg3的调度信息,终端发送完携带小包数据的msg3后,终端可以切换到专用搜索空间内监测用于调度msg4的调度信息。或者,如图11b所示,终端可以直接使用专用的前导码序列资源发送msg1,并在发送msg1后,开始在专用搜索空间内监测用于调度msg2/msg3/msg4的调度信息。
又例如,以四步随机接入过程,用于调度小包数据的调度信息的搜索空间称为专用搜索空间为例,如图11c所示,终端可以在ra-search space内,应用ra-search space的监测周期监测用于调度msg2的调度信息、在ra-search space内应用ra-search space的监测周期监测用于调度msg3的调度信息,终端发送完携带小包数据的msg3后,终端可以切换到专用搜索空间内,应用专用搜索空间的监测周期监测用于调度msg4的调度信息。或者,如图11d所示,终端可以直接使用专用的前导码序列资源发送msg1,并在发送msg1后,开始在专用搜索空间内,应用专用搜索空间的监测周期监测用于调度msg2/msg3/msg4的调度信息。

应用第二方面提供的方法,无线通信装置可以在发送包括上行数据的第一消息后的第一时间段内不监测用于调度第一下行数据的调度信息,而是在第一时间段结束之后再监测用于调度第一下行数据的调度信息。如此,可以通过设置第一时间段,增加无线通信装置发送第一消息到监测调度信息之间的休眠时间,降低无线通信装置的功率消耗。
