Description

一种通信方法及装置 技术领域
本申请涉及无线通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种通信方法及装置。
背景技术
现有窄带物联网(narrow band-internet of things,NB-IoT)系统中,终端设备基于随机原则(比如基于终端设备的标识)确定接收寻呼的载波。由于不同频域的载波的信道质量不同,终端设备若想要成功接收不同频域的载波的寻呼信息,则需要针对不同频域的载波确定接收对应载波的最大重复次数,并基于最大重复次数接收对应载波上的寻呼信息。
终端设备具有不同业务特征时,可能处于不同的覆盖情况下。示例性的,终端设备1用于实现地面业务,由于部署在地面,所以覆盖情况较好。终端设备2用于实现地下业务,由于部署在地下,所以覆盖情况较差。相同频域的载波寻呼终端设备2所需的最大重复次数需要大于寻呼终端设备1所需的最大重复次数。现有技术中,终端设备基于随机原则确定接收寻呼的载波的方式,并不能适用于终端设备的业务特征。

具体实施方式
在介绍本申请实施例之前,首先对本申请实施例中的部分用语进行解释说明,以便于本领域技术人员理解。
1)、终端设备,又可以称之为终端,是用户侧的一种用于接收或发射信号的实体,用于向网络设备发送上行信号,或从网络设备接收下行信号。包括向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备,例如可以包括具有无线连接功能的手持式设备、或连接到无线调制解调器的处理设备。该终端设备可以经无线接入网(radio access network,RAN)与核心网进行通信,与RAN交换语音和/或数据。该终端设备可以包括用户设备(user equipment,UE)、V2X终端设备、无线终端设备、移动终端设备、设备到设备通信(device-to-device,D2D)终端设备、机器到机器/机器类通信(machine-to-machine/machine-type communications,M2M/MTC)终端设备、物联网(internet of things,IoT)终端设备、订户单元(subscriber unit)、订户站(subscriber station),移动站(mobile station)、远程站(remote station)、接入点(access point,AP)、远程终端(remote terminal)、接入终端(access terminal)、用户终端(user terminal)、用户代理(user agent)、或用户装备(user device)、可穿戴设备、车载设备等。
作为示例而非限定,在本申请实施例中,该终端设备还可以是可穿戴设备。可穿戴设备也可以称为穿戴式智能设备或智能穿戴式设备等,是应用穿戴式技术对日常穿戴进行智能化设计、开发出可以穿戴的设备的总称,如眼镜、手套、手表、服饰及鞋等。可穿戴设备即直接穿在身上,或是整合到用户的衣服或配件的一种便携式设备。可穿戴设备不仅仅是一种硬件设备,更是通过软件支持以及数据交互、云端交互来实现强大的功能。广义穿戴式智能设备包括功能全、尺寸大、可不依赖智能手机实现完整或者部分的功能,例如:智能手表或智能眼镜等,以及只专注于某一类应用功能,需要和其它设备如智能手机配合使用,如各类进行体征监测的智能手环、智能头盔、智能首饰等。
而如上介绍的各种终端设备,如果位于车辆上(例如放置在车辆内或安装在车辆内),都可以认为是车载终端设备,车载终端设备例如也称为车载单元(on-board unit,OBU)。
2)、核心网,可以包括对用户的信令和数据进行处理和转发的网络设备。例如,包括移动性管理功能(access and mobility management function,AMF)、会话管理功能(session management function,SMF)以及用户面网关等核心网设备。其中用户面网关可以是具有对用户面数据进行移动性管理、路由、转发等功能的服务器,一般位于网络侧,如服务网关(serving gateway,SGW)或分组数据网络网关(packet data network gateway,PGW)或用户面网元功能实体(user plane function,UPF)等。AMF以及SMF相当于LTE系统中的移动管理实体(mobility management entity,MME)。AMF主要负责准入方面,SMF主要负责会话管理。当然,核心网中也可以包括其他网元,这里不一一列举。
3)、下一代无线接入网络(next generation radio access network,NG-RAN),可以包括一个或多个接入网设备。NG-RAN中的接入网设备又可以称为基站,或者RAN节点,或者RAN设备。接入网设备是网络侧的一种用于发射和/或接收信号的实体,作为终端与接入网的其余部分之间的路由器,其中接入网的其余部分可以包括IP网络等。接入网设备还可以协调对空中接口的属性管理。例如,接入网设备可以是LTE中的演进型基站(evolutional Node B,eNB或e-NodeB),eNB是一种部署在无线接入网中满足4G标准的为终端提供无线通信功能的装置。接入网设备还可以是新无线控制器(new radio controller,NR controller), 可以是5G系统中的gNode B(gNB),可以是集中式网元(centralized unit),可以是新无线基站,可以是射频拉远模块,可以是微基站(也称为小站),可以是中继(relay),可以是分布式网元(distributed unit),可以是各种形式的宏基站,可以是传输接收点(transmission reception point,TRP)、传输测量功能(transmission measurement function,TMF)或传输点(transmission point,TP)或者任何其它无线接入设备,或者下一代通信中的基站,但本申请实施例不限于此。
4)、RRC状态,终端设备有3种RRC状态:RRC连接态(connected态)、RRC空闲态(idle态)和非激活态(inactive态)。
RRC连接态(或,也可以简称为连接态。在本文中,“连接态”和“RRC连接态”,是同一概念,两种称呼可以互换),指终端设备与接入网设备之间的存在于RRC层的逻辑连接,终端设备与接入网设备保存有终端设备的上下文(UE context),该状态下终端设备可以与接入网设备进行上行或下行的数据和信令传输。
RRC空闲态(或,也可以简称为空闲态。在本文中,“空闲态”和“RRC空闲态”,是同一概念,两种称呼可以互换),指终端设备与接入网设备之间不存在RRC层的逻辑连接,终端设备不能与接入网设备进行上行或下行的数据和信令传输,该状态下终端设备只能接收接入网设备发送的寻呼信息和系统信息,该状态下寻呼由核心网设备发起。
RRC非激活态(或,也可以简称为非激活态。在本文中,“去活动态”、“去激活态”、“非激活态”、“RRC非激活态”和“RRC去激活态”,是同一概念,这几种称呼可以互换),指终端设备与接入网设备之间不存在RRC层的逻辑连接,终端设备不能与接入网设备进行上行或下行的数据和信令传输,但是终端设备和核心网设备的上下文仍然保留。该状态下终端设备只能接收接入网设备发送的寻呼信息和系统信息,该状态下寻呼由RAN发起。
5)、非连续接收(discontinuous reception,DRX),分为空闲态DRX(Idle DRX,I-DRX)和连接态DRX(Connected DRX,C-DRX)。其中,使用空闲态DRX的终端设备不需要连续监听寻呼信息,可以达到降低终端设备功耗的目的。连接态DRX指示终端设备不需要连续监听调度上行/下行数据的控制信息,可以达到降低终端设备功耗的目的。
如图1示出了本申请实施例提供的通信方法适用的一种可能的通信系统的架构,该通信系统可包括网络设备和终端。本申请的实施例对该通信系统中包括的网络设备和终端的数量不做限定。
图1中示例性的包括6个终端,分别为终端1至终端6。图1仅是示意图,该通信系统中还可以包括其它网络设备,如还可以包括核心网设备、无线中继设备和无线回传设备,在图1中未画出。其中,网络设备,可以为终端提供无线接入有关的服务,实现下述功能中的一个或多个功能:无线物理层功能、资源调度和无线资源管理、服务质量(quality of service,Qos)管理、无线接入控制以及移动性管理功能。终端可通过空口与网络设备通信。
在该通信系统中,终端1至终端6可以发送上行信息给网络设备,网络设备可以向终端1至终端6发送的下行信息。
此外,终端4、终端5、终端6也可以组成一个通信系统。在该通信系统中,网络设备可以发送下行信息给终端4、终端5、终端6。网络设备也可以通过终端5发送下行信息给终端4、终端6,或终端4、终端6也可以通过终端5向网络设备发送上行信息。
图2示出了本申请实施例提供的通信方法适用的另一种可能的通信系统的架构,通信 系统200中包括核心网设备210、接入网设备220以及终端设备230。接入网设备220与核心网设备210之间通过S1接口相连,接入网设备220之间通过X2接口相连以进行通信,每个接入网设备220可以为覆盖范围内的一个或多个终端设备230提供服务。
本申请实施例提供的方法可以应用于第四代(4th generation,4G)通信系统、第五代(5th generation,5G)通信系统或未来的各种通信系统。具体的,可以应用于MTC的通信场景,也可以应用于NB-IoT的通信场景。
5G通信系统支持配置部分带宽(bandwidth part,BWP),接入网设备可以根据终端设备的业务数据量灵活调整带宽,以节省终端设备的功耗。当前,在RRC空闲态,接入网设备通过系统消息配置初始部分带宽(initial BWP)用于终端设备的初始接入,当终端设备进入到RRC连接态,接入网设备可以为终端设备配置多个专用部分带宽(dedicated BWP),接入网设备可以通过动态指示来激活终端设备的dedicated BWP。
如图3所示,终端设备通过initial BWP接入至接入网设备,进入RRC连接态,然后接入网设备为终端设备配置3个dedicated BWP,分别为第1个BWP、第2个BWP、第3个BWP。在时间t1,接入网设备为终端设备激活第1个BWP。在时间t2,接入网设备为终端设备激活第2个BWP。在时间t3,接入网设备为终端设备激活第3个BWP。在同一时刻,终端设备只有一个激活的dedicated BWP。
5G的频点分为两部分:FR1(F<6GHz,低频)和FR2(F>6GHz,高频、毫米波)。FR1的带宽可以是5MHz,10MHz,15MHz,20MHz,25MHz,30MHz,40MHz,50MHz,60MHz,80MHz和100MHz。FR2带宽可以是50MHz,100MHz,200MHz,400MHz。
5G中引入降低终端能力、复杂度、功耗的终端设备,可以称为轻型终端设备(NR-Light终端设备)或降低能力的终端设备(Reduce Capability UE,Red-Cap UE)。这类终端设备主要用于物联网场景,终端设备数量较大。其主要特征包含减少这类终端设备的带宽(UE Bandwidth Reduction),即终端设备在一个相对较小的带宽上进行通信,例如,仅支持5MHz带宽的终端设备,或仅支持5MHz和10MHz带宽的终端设备,或支持5MHz,10MHz和15MHz带宽的终端设备,或支持5MHz,10MHz,15MHz和20MHz带宽的终端设备等。
本申请中,频域资源在不同场景下的指示方式可能不同:例如在NR中为BWP,在eMTC中为窄带(narrowband,NB),在NB-IoT中为载波(carrier),当然,在未来场景中也可能有其他指示方式。
还需要说明的是,本申请中涉及的物理下行共享信道比如物理下行共享信道(physical downlink shared channel,PDSCH)、窄带物理下行共享信道(narrowband physical downlink shared channel,NPDSCH),本质上是相同作用的信道,只是在不同技术中的名称不同,本申请中可以相互替换。同理,本申请中涉及的物理下行控制信道比如PDCCH(physical downlink control channel,物理下行控制信道)、MTC物理下行控制信道(MTC physical downlink control channel,MPDCCH)、增强物理下行控制信道(enhanced physical downlink control channel,EPDCCH)、窄带物理下行控制信道(narrowband physical downlink control channel,NPDCCH),本质上是相同作用的信道,只是在不同技术中的名称不同,本申请中也可以相互替换。
在上述图1和图2所示的场景中,接入网设备和终端设备可以基于相同预设规则,确定寻呼信息对应的频域资源,接入网设备在该频域资源上发送寻呼,终端设备在该频域资 源上检测寻呼。
示例性的,NB-IoT中,接入网设备设置有多个载波,请参照如图4示出的接入网设备设置多个载波的示意图,多个载波中包括一个锚点载波(anchor carrier)和至少一个非锚点载波(non-anchor carrier),每个载波对应有各自的权重。终端设备在RRC空闲态时驻留在接入网设备的锚点载波,接入网设备和终端设备可以基于预设规则确定寻呼载波(paging carrier),进而接入网设备在该寻呼载波上寻呼,终端设备在该寻呼载波上监听寻呼。
一个示例中,寻呼载波为满足关系式(1)的最小的载波索引对应的载波:
floor(UE_ID/(N*Ns))mod W<W(0)+W(1)+…+W(n)……关系式(1)
关系式(1)中,UE_ID为与国际移动用户识别码(international mobile subscriber identity,IMSI)或5G全局唯一的临时UE标识(5G globally unique temporary UE identity,5G-S-TMSI)相关的终端设备标识;
N为min(T,nB);
Ns为max(1,nB/T);
T为终端设备的DRX周期;
nB为4T,2T,T,T/2,T/4,T/8,T/16,T/32,T/64,T/128,T/256,T/512,T/1024;
Nn为寻呼载波的总数;
W(i)为第i个寻呼载波的权重;
W为所有寻呼载波的权重之和,比如,W=W(0)+W(1)+…+W(Nn-1)。
进一步的,每个载波对应有传输参数,传输参数比如最大重复次数。为实现不同载波覆盖相同范围,需要设置不同载波支持不同的NPDCCH公共搜索空间(common search space,CSS)的最大重复次数配置。接入网设备在确定寻呼载波之后,可以发送对应最大重复次数的寻呼载波,相应的,终端设备在确定寻呼载波之后,可以参考最大重复次数在对应寻呼载波上接收寻呼。本申请中,最大重复次数又可以称为重复次数、重复信息等,当然在其他情况下可能会有其他名称,本申请仅为示例,不对其名称限制。
上述技术方案中,根据UE_ID确定寻呼载波,由于UE_ID实质上是随机ID,基于UE_ID的计算公式实质上是将不同UE随机地分散在不同寻呼载波上接收寻呼,所以上述预设规则实质上是基于随机原则确定寻呼载波。
目前,对于支持不同业务的终端设备,其可能设置在覆盖情况不同的环境中,上述基于随机原则确定寻呼载波的技术方案,可能会导致寻呼载波和终端设备业务不匹配。
基于此,本申请提供一种通信方法,用于解决接入网设备和终端设备确定出的频域资源与终端设备业务特征不匹配的问题。
本申请中,将接入网设备和终端设备之间传输的消息称为第一消息。将接入网设备和终端设备之间用于传输第一消息的频域资源对应的频域信息(也可以称为频率信息)称为第一频域信息。将用于指示终端设备与接入网设备之间传输第一消息的资源需求称为第一需求信息。
如图5为本申请示例性提供的一种通信方法的流程示意图,该流程中:
步骤501,终端设备确定第一频域信息。
具体的,终端设备根据第一需求信息和预设对应关系,确定第一频域信息。
第一需求信息用于指示终端设备与接入网设备传输消息时的资源需求。示例性的,第一需求信息与终端设备的业务特征相关联,具体体现在,第一需求信息与接入网设备和终 端设备之间的信道状态(也可以称为信道质量)相关联,比如,终端设备为处于地下室的水电表,则接入网设备与终端设备之间的信道状态较差,第一需求信息指示需要接入网设备多次重复发送下行信号,即在多个子帧传输同一个传输块,以提升覆盖范围,确保终端设备成功接收到下行信号。
预设对应关系配置于接入网设备中,预设对应关系中包括需求信息和频域信息的对应关系,其中,预设对应关系中第一需求信息与第一频域信息相对应。预设对应关系可以是接入网设备发送至终端设备的。具体的,预设对应关系可以承载于接入网设备向终端设备发送的接入层(access stratum,AS)信令,比如系统消息或RRC消息中。
步骤502,接入网设备确定第一频域信息。
具体的,接入网设备根据第一需求信息和预设对应关系,确定第一频域信息。
接入网设备确定第一频域信息的实现方式与上述步骤501中终端设备确定第一频域信息的实现方式类似,不再赘述。不限制步骤501和步骤502的先后顺序。
步骤503,接入网设备在所述第一频域信息对应的资源上发送第一消息。
具体的,第一频域信息对应有第一频域资源和第一传输参数。接入网设备在第一频域资源上,根据第一传输参数发送第一消息。相应的,终端设备在第一频域资源上,根据第一传输参数接收第一消息。
终端设备可以处于RRC空闲态或RRC非激活态。第一消息用于接入网设备寻呼终端设备,第一消息可以是寻呼信息。示例性的,第一消息具体为用于寻呼终端设备的下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI),第一消息承载于PDCCH中。或,第一消息具体为用于寻呼终端设备的寻呼消息(paging message),第一消息中包括下行数据,第一消息承载于PDSCH中。
以下行控制信息为例,接入网设备在第一频域资源对应的PDCCH上,根据第一传输参数发送下行控制信息。终端设备在第一频域资源对应的PDCCH上,根据第一传输参数接收下行控制信息。
本申请中,接入网设备根据第一需求信息和预设对应关系确定第一频域信息,终端设备根据第一需求信息和预设对应关系确定第一频域信息,二者在第一频域信息对应的资源上传输第一消息,该第一频域信息对应的资源可以满足第一需求信息,避免出现接入网设备和终端设备确定出的频域资源与终端设备业务特征不匹配的问题。
结合上述图5相关实施例,本申请实施例示例性提供第二种通信方法,该通信方法中第一需求信息可以是由核心网设备和终端设备之间达成共识的。
可以将第一需求信息称为第一需求等级,可以将预设对应关系称为第一对应关系,如下先对第一需求等级、第一对应关系分别进行解释。
一、第一需求等级
第一需求等级用于指示终端设备业务对第一信息的传输参数的配置需求。示例性的,第一需求等级可以包括时延需求等级、覆盖需求等级、寻呼概率等级中一个或多个。
覆盖需求等级可以包括正常覆盖、深覆盖、覆盖无需求等。其中,正常覆盖的终端设备比如处在地面上的路灯,深覆盖的终端设备比如处于地下室的水电表,无需求的终端设备比如可穿戴设备。在某些实施例中,深覆盖还可以进一步包括多级深覆盖,比如包括深覆盖1级和深覆盖2级。
时延需求等级可以包括时延敏感、时延无需求(或时延可容忍),时延敏感的终端设备比如烟雾探测器,时延无需求的终端设备比如水电表。
寻呼概率等级可以包括高寻呼概率和低寻呼概率。其中,高寻呼概率的终端设备比如用户手机,低寻呼概率的终端设备比如路灯。
结合时延需求等级、覆盖需求等级、寻呼概率等级,举例说明第一需求等级。
一种实现中,第一需求等级可以预先设置三个字段,三个字段分别指示时延需求等级、覆盖需求等级、寻呼概率等级,若某个字段为空,则可以指示该字段对应的需求为无需求。
示例1,终端设备业务对应时延需求,比如时延需求等级为时延敏感,则第一需求等级中第一个字段指示时延敏感,后两个字段为空。
示例2,终端设备业务对应时延需求和覆盖需求,比如时延需求等级为时延敏感,覆盖需求等级为正常覆盖,则第一需求等级中第一个字段指示时延敏感,第二字段指示正常覆盖,第三个字段为空。
示例3,终端设备业务对应时延需求、覆盖需求和寻呼概率,比如时延需求等级为时延敏感,覆盖需求等级为正常覆盖,寻呼概率为高寻呼概率,则第一需求等级中第一个字段指示时延敏感,第二字段指示正常覆盖,第三个字段指示高寻呼概率。
需要说明的是,若时延需求等级为时延无需求,则第一需求等级中第一个字段也可以为空,或,若覆盖需求等级为覆盖无需求,则第一需求等级中第二个字段也可以为空。在一个具体例子中,若终端业务对应时延无需求、覆盖无需求和高寻呼概率,则第一需求等级中第一字段和第二字段均可以为空,第三字段指示高寻呼概率。
另一种实现中,第一需求等级为时延需求等级、覆盖需求等级、寻呼概率等级中一个,第一需求等级中包括一个字段。示例性的,该字段使用一个比特位指示终端设备业务的时延需求:0表示时延需求等级为时延敏感,1表示时延需求等级为时延不敏感(或时延可容忍)。比如该比特位为0,则第一需求等级中该一个字段指示时延敏感。或者,示例性的,该字段使用两个比特位指示终端设备业务的覆盖需求等级:00表示覆盖需求等级为正常覆盖(或普通覆盖),01表示覆盖需求等级为深覆盖1级,10表示覆盖需求等级为深覆盖2级,11表示无覆盖需求或者为保留值。比如该比特位为01,则第一需求等级中该一个字段指示深覆盖1级。进一步的,第一需求等级还可以指示终端设备对时延、覆盖、寻呼概率无需求。
或第一需求等级为时延需求等级、覆盖需求等级、寻呼概率等级中两个,第一需求等级中包括两个字段。示例性的,终端设备业务对应时延需求和覆盖需求,比如时延需求等级为时延敏感,覆盖需求等级为正常覆盖,则第一需求等级中两个字段分别指示时延敏感,和正常覆盖,进一步的,第一需求等级还可以指示终端设备对寻呼概率无需求。
需要说明的是,终端设备若对应的时延需求等级为时延无需求,则第一需求等级中可以不包括用于指示时延无需求的字段。又或者,终端设备若对应的覆盖需求等级为覆盖无需求,则第一需求等级中可以不包括用于指示覆盖无需求的字段。在一个具体例子中,若终端业务对应时延无需求、覆盖无需求和高寻呼概率,则第一需求等级中可以仅包括一个字段,该一个字段指示高寻呼概率。
还需要说明的是,上述两个实现仅为本申请示例性给出的例子,本申请还可以包括其他的实现方式,此处不再一一举例。当然,第一需求等级不限于上文列举的几种,还可以遵循其他的划分方式,使用其他名称、数量和定义,本申请同样不做限制。
一种可选实现方式中,核心网设备和终端设备之间协商确定第一需求等级。
具体的,终端设备向核心网设备发送非接入层(non-access stratum,NAS)信令,其中NAS信令包括终端设备请求的第一需求等级,NAS信令比如附着请求消息(attach request message)、跟踪区域更新请求消息(TAU request message)等。核心网设备若确定接受该第一需求等级,则向终端设备发送接受信息。核心网设备若确定不接受该第一需求等级,则向终端设备发送拒绝信息。进一步的,核心网设备可以在发送拒绝信息时,发送核心网设备所指示的第一需求等级。
此外,终端设备也可以将第一需求等级直接上报至核心网设备,或核心网设备将第一需求等级直接下发至终端设备。核心网设备和终端设备之间无需请求和确认这样的信令交互过程,即可以确定第一需求等级。
本实现中,若第一需求等级为无需求,则核心网设备和终端设备之间也可以默认达成共识,比如,核心网设备和终端设备之间约定采用NAS信令比如附着请求消息中预留比特位用于指示第一需求等级,若终端设备向核心网设备发送的附着请求消息中预留比特位为空(也即不包含第一需求等级),则核心网设备确定终端设备是无需求的终端设备。
核心网设备可以向接入网设备发送第一需求等级,该第一需求等级可以作为一个单独的消息,也可以承载于已有消息中。
核心网设备可以在终端设备处于RRC连接态时,向接入网设备发送第一需求等级,也可以在终端设备处于RRC空闲态或RRC非激活态时,向接入网设备发送第一需求等级。
示例性的,终端设备处于RRC空闲态,第一需求等级可以承载于核心网设备向接入网设备发送的寻呼信息中。终端设备处于RRC非激活态,第一需求等级可以承载于核心网设备向接入网设备发送的RRC非激活辅助信息(RRC inactive assistance information)中。
另一种实现方式中,第一需求等级可以是由终端设备发送至接入网设备的,该第一需求等级可以作为一个单独的消息,也可以承载于已有消息中。终端设备处于RRC连接态,第一需求等级可以承载于终端设备向接入网设备发送的RRC消息中,RRC消息例如RRC连接建立请求消息(RRC setup request)、RRC连接建立完成消息(RRC setup complete)、RRC连接重配完成消息(RRC reconfiguration complete)。
需要说明的是,接入网设备可以将第一需求等级作为终端设备的上下文存储。若终端设备处于RRC非激活态,终端设备从第一接入网设备的覆盖范围移动至第二接入网设备的覆盖范围,且第一接入网设备中存储有终端设备的上下文,则第二接入网设备还可以向第一接入网设备请求终端设备的上下文,从而第二接入网设备根据终端设备的上下文中第一需求等级确定第一频域信息。具体实现可参照下述实施例。
本申请中,第一接入网设备可以称为锚点(anchor)接入网设备或锚点基站,第二接入网设备可以称为非锚点(non-anchor)接入网设备或非锚点基站。
二、第一对应关系
第一对应关系指示需求等级和频域信息的对应关系。
在一种实现方式中,第一对应关系为需求等级和频域信息的对应关系,频域信息包括频域资源和传输参数。示例性的,该第一对应关系如表1所示。
表1
需求等级 频域信息
需求等级1 频域信息1(频域资源1,传输参数1)
需求等级2 频域信息2(频域资源2,传输参数2)
需求等级3 频域信息3(频域资源3,传输参数3)
需求等级4 频域信息4(频域资源4,传输参数4)
在另一种实现方式中,频域信息为频域资源,第一对应关系包括需求等级、频域资源和传输参数的对应关系。
一个示例中,需求等级、频域资源和传输参数的对应关系如表2a所示。
表2a
需求等级 频域资源 传输参数
需求等级1 频域资源1 传输参数1
需求等级2 频域资源2 传输参数2
需求等级3 频域资源3 传输参数3
需求等级4 频域资源4 传输参数4
再一个示例中,需求等级和频域资源的对应关系如表2b所示,频域资源和传输参数的对应关系如表2c所示。
表2b
需求等级 频域资源
需求等级1 频域资源1
需求等级2 频域资源2
需求等级3 频域资源3
需求等级4 频域资源4
表2c
频域资源 传输参数
频域资源1 传输参数1
频域资源2 传输参数2
频域资源3 传输参数3
频域资源4 传输参数4
第一对应关系以表格形式为例说明,本申请中第一对应关系并不限定于表格形式。
上述第一对应关系中,可以使用频域资源索引指示频域资源,比如上述表1中,可以使用索引1指示频域资源1,索引2指示频域资源2。此外,第一对应关系中也可以没有频域资源索引,而是根据第一对应关系中位置隐式指示频域资源,比如上述表1中,处于第一个位置上的频域资源为频域资源1,处于第二个位置上的频域资源为频域资源2。
传输参数包括一个或多个参考传输参数,参考传输参数比如最大重复次数、DRX周期、WUS使能标识、寻呼时机密度。
其中,最大重复次数指示寻呼信息被传输的最大重复次数,比如,最大重复次数为10次,则接入网设备发送10次该寻呼信息,相应的,终端设备最多可以接收到10次该寻呼 信息。
DRX周期,也可以理解为寻呼周期,用于终端设备确定监听寻呼信息的寻呼时机(paging occasion,PO)。
WUS使能标识指示终端设备是否需要使用WUS。一个示例中,WUS使能标识取值为1,指示终端设备需要使用WUS,WUS使能标识取值为0,指示终端设备不需要使用WUS。又一个示例中,在DRX情况下,终端设备检测到WUS时,终端设备应监听之后的PO。在扩展非连续接收(enhanced discontinuous reception,eDRX)情况下,终端设备检测到WUS时,终端设备应监听之后的多个PO或者监听直至接收到包含终端设备的NAS标识的寻呼信息(以较早者为准)。如果终端设备没有检测到WUS,则终端设备不需要监听以下PO。
寻呼时机密度指示一个无线帧中可以用来承载寻呼信息的子帧的个数,示例性的,寻呼时机密度指示一个无线帧中可以用来承载寻呼下行控制信息的子帧的个数。
结合上述需求等级和传输参数的说明,如表3示例性提供一种第一对应关系。
其中需求等级包括正常覆盖、深覆盖、无需求和时延敏感。传输参数包括最大重复次数和DRX周期。示例性的,最大重复次数从小到大依次排序为:最大重复次数4、最大重复次数3、最大重复次数1、最大重复次数2,DRX周期从小到大依次排序为:DRX周期4、DRX周期3、DRX周期1、DRX周期2。
表3
需求等级 频域资源 传输参数
正常覆盖 频域资源1 传输参数1(最大重复次数1和DRX周期1)
深覆盖 频域资源2 传输参数2(最大重复次数2和DRX周期2)
无需求 频域资源3 传输参数3(最大重复次数3和DRX周期3)
时延敏感 频域资源4 传输参数4(最大重复次数4和DRX周期4)
需要指出的是,不同小区对应的第一对应关系可以相同或不同,终端设备可以接收来自接入网设备的该驻留小区的第一对应关系。一个示例中,终端设备驻留在某个小区中,接入网设备向终端设备广播该小区的第一对应关系。另一个示例中,终端设备在小区重选至目标小区后,向目标小区对应接入网设备请求该小区的第一对应关系,接入网设备向终端设备发送该小区的第一对应关系。
结合上述描述,如图6为本申请提供的第二种通信方法的流程示意图,其中过程如下。
步骤601,终端设备根据第一需求等级和第一对应关系,确定第一频域信息。
在一种实现方式中,终端设备根据第一对应关系,确定与第一需求等级相对应的第一频域信息,第一频域信息包括第一频域资源和第一传输参数。
结合上述表1举例,第一需求等级为需求等级1,终端设备根据需求等级1和第一对应关系,确定第一频域信息为频域信息1,具体的,第一频域资源为频域资源1,第一传输参数为传输参数1。
在另一种实现方式中,终端设备根据第一对应关系中需求等级和频域信息的对应关系,确定与第一需求等级相对应的第一频域资源,然后终端设备再结合第一对应关系中频域资源和传输参数的对应关系,确定与第一频域资源相对应的第一传输参数。
结合上述表2a举例,第一需求等级为需求等级1,终端设备根据需求等级1和第一对 应关系中需求等级和频域信息的对应关系,确定第一频域资源为频域资源1。然后终端设备再结合第一对应关系中频域资源和传输参数的对应关系,确定第一传输参数为频域资源1对应的传输参数1。
需要指出的是,上述表1至表3示出的例子中,一个第一需求等级可以对应有一个频域信息,但本申请实施例不排除一个第一需求等级对应有多个频域信息的实现方式。
一个可选方式中,第一对应关系可以如表4a所示,其中需求等级可以对应有一个或多个频域信息。
表4a
需求等级 频域资源 传输参数
需求等级1 频域资源1 传输参数1
需求等级1 频域资源2 传输参数2
需求等级1 频域资源3 传输参数3
需求等级2 频域资源4 传输参数4
需求等级3 频域资源5 传输参数5
需求等级3 频域资源6 传输参数6
在该种实现方式中,终端设备根据第一需求等级,从第一对应关系中可以确定出多个与第一需求等级相对应的频域资源,可以将该多个与第一需求等级相对应的频域资源称为多个候选频域资源,然后终端设备再根据终端设备标识,从该多个候选频域资源中确定出第一频域资源。
一种可选实现方式中,第一频域资源为满足关系式(2)的最小的频域资源索引对应的频域资源:
floor(UE_ID/(N*Ns))mod Nn……关系式(2)
关系式(2)中,UE_ID为与IMSI或5G-S-TMSI相关的终端设备标识;
N为min(T,nB);
Ns为max(1,nB/T);
T为终端设备的DRX周期;
nB为4T,2T,T,T/2,T/4,T/8,T/16,T/32,T/64,T/128,T/256,T/512,T/1024;
Nn为寻呼载波的总数。
再一个可选方式中,第一对应关系可以如表4b所示,其中需求等级可以对应有一个或多个频域信息,每个频域信息对应有权重,该权重用于确定第一频域信息。
表4b
需求等级 频域资源 传输参数 权重
需求等级1 频域资源1 传输参数1 权重1
需求等级1 频域资源2 传输参数2 权重2
需求等级1 频域资源3 传输参数3 权重3
需求等级2 频域资源4 传输参数4 权重4
需求等级3 频域资源5 传输参数5 权重5
需求等级3 频域资源6 传输参数6 权重6
在该种实现方式中,终端设备根据第一需求等级,从第一对应关系中可以确定出多个与第一需求等级相对应的频域资源,可以将该多个与第一需求等级相对应的频域资源称为 多个候选频域资源,然后终端设备再根据各候选频域资源对应的权重,从该多个候选频域资源中确定出第一频域资源。
一种可选实现方式中,第一频域资源为满足关系式(3)的最小的频域资源索引对应的频域资源:
floor(UE_ID/(N*Ns))mod W<W(0)+W(1)+…+W(n)……关系式(3)
关系式(3)中,UE_ID为与IMSI或5G-S-TMSI相关的终端设备标识;
N为min(T,nB);
Ns为max(1,nB/T);
T为终端设备的DRX周期;
nB为4T,2T,T,T/2,T/4,T/8,T/16,T/32,T/64,T/128,T/256,T/512,T/1024;
Nn为寻呼载波的总数;
W(i)为第i个候选频域资源的权重;
W为多个候选频率资源的总权重。
结合表4b举例说明,若第一需求等级为需求等级1,则终端设备确定三个候选频域资源分别为频域资源1至频域资源3。进一步的,终端设备基于关系式(3),从三个候选频域资源中确定出第一频域资源。
假设UE_ID为12345,T=128,nB=T/4=32,频域资源1至频域资源3对应的权重分别为W(0)=5、W(1)=2、W(2)=12,相应的,Ns=1,N=T/4=32,频域资源1至频域资源3对应的权重之和W=W(0)+W(1)+W(2)=19。
第一步,floor(UE_ID/(N*Ns))mod W=floor(12345/(32*1))mod19=5。
第二步,对于频域资源1,floor(UE_ID/(N*Ns))mod W=5不小于频域资源1对应的权重W(0)=5,确定频域资源1不符合关系式(3)。
第三步,对于频域资源2,频域资源1对应的权重和频域资源2对应的权重之和为7(W(0)+W(1)=7),floor(UE_ID/(N*Ns))mod W=5小于7,确定频域资源2符合关系式(3)。
第四步,对于频域资源3,频域资源1对应的权重、频域资源2对应的权重和频域资源3对应的权重之和为19,floor(UE_ID/(N*Ns))mod W=5小于19,确定频域资源3符合关系式(3)。
第五步,频域资源2和频域资源3均符合关系式(3),从频域资源2和频域资源3中确定最小的频域资源索引对应的频域资源为频域资源2,也即终端设备基于关系式(3),从三个频域资源1至频域资源3中确定出频域资源2为第一频域资源。
步骤602,接入网设备根据第一需求等级和第一对应关系,确定第一频域信息。
本申请中,接入网设备根据第一对应关系和第一需求等级,确定第一频域信息的实现方式可以具体参照步骤601中终端设备确定第一频域信息的实现方式,此处不再赘述。
不限制步骤601和步骤602的先后顺序。
步骤603,接入网设备在第一频域信息对应的资源上发送第一消息。
在一种实现方式中,第一频域信息包括第一频域资源和第一传输参数,接入网设备在第一频域资源上,使用第一传输参数发送第一消息。相应的,终端设备在第一频域资源上,使用第一传输参数接收第一消息。
在另一种实现方式中,第一频域信息为第一频域资源,接入网设备在第一频域资源上,使用第一频域资源对应的第一传输参数发送第一消息。相应的,终端设备在第一频域资源 上,使用第一频域资源对应的第一传输参数接收第一消息。
例如,第一频域资源为频点10MHz,第一传输参数中包括WUS使能标识、DRX周期、最大重复次数,其中DRX周期用于终端设备确定PO位置,WUS使能标识指示UE需要根据WUS的指示在PO监听寻呼。终端设备检测到WUS,终端设备在之后的PO监听寻呼下行控制信息并接收寻呼消息。具体的,终端设备最多可以接收到10次承载寻呼下行控制信息的PDCCH,之后在指示的PDSCH上接收寻呼消息。
可选的,终端设备根据第一消息,与接入网设备建立RRC连接,具体可参照现有技术中关于终端设备接入网络的描述,此处不赘述。
需要说明的是,第一需求等级可能会发生改变。
一个示例中,终端设备根据自身所处环境,确定其对应的第一需求等级变化。比如,终端设备设置有环境传感器,终端设备根据感应的周边环境的因素,确定终端设备所处环境由地下环境变为地上环境,则确定对应的第一需求等级发生变化。再比如,终端设备根据测量参考信号(reference signal)得到的测量结果,确定与接入网设备之间的信道状态发生变化,从而确定第一需求等级发生变化。
终端设备若确定第一需求等级发生变化,则可以向核心网设备发送第二请求信息。该第二请求信息中包括新的需求等级(如下称为第二需求等级),核心网设备接收到该第二请求信息后,根据第二需求等级更新第一需求等级,具体可以是直接将第二需求等级替换第一需求等级。
进一步的,核心网设备或终端设备还可以向接入网设备发送第二需求等级,从而接入网设备可以根据第二需求等级和第一对应关系,确定第一频域信息。
结合上述图5或图6相关实施例,本申请示例性提供一种寻呼处于RRC空闲态的终端设备的具体实现方式。示例性的,参照如图7所示,该流程包括:
步骤701,核心网设备与终端设备之间协商第一需求等级。
步骤702,核心网设备向接入网设备发送第一需求等级。
步骤703,接入网设备向终端设备发送第一对应关系。
步骤704,接入网设备根据第一对应关系和第一需求等级确定第一频域信息。
步骤705,终端设备根据第一对应关系和第一需求等级确定第一频域信息。

上述流程还可以包括:终端设备从RRC连接态切换至RRC空闲态。若终端设备处于RRC连接态,则接入网设备可以通过RRC释放(RRC release)消息发送第一对应关系。若终端设备处于RRC空闲态,则接入网设备可以向终端设备广播第一对应关系。
图7所示流程中各步骤中的具体实现方式,均可参见图5或图6相关实施例中描述。
结合上述图5或图6相关实施例,本申请示例性提供一种寻呼处于RRC非激活态的终端设备的具体实现方式。
第一个示例中,终端设备仍处于第一接入网设备的服务小区,核心网、第一接入网设 备和终端设备之间的交互可参照上述步骤701至步骤706。
第二个示例中,终端设备移动至第二接入网设备的服务小区,可以参照如图8所示的一种寻呼处于RRC非激活态的终端设备的流程示意图,该流程中:
步骤801,核心网设备与终端设备之间协商第一需求等级。
步骤802,核心网设备向第一接入网设备发送第一需求等级。
步骤803,第一接入网设备向第二接入网设备发送寻呼信息。

本实施例中,不限制步骤805和步骤806的先后顺序。
第一个示例或第二个示例中,还可以包括:终端设备从RRC连接态切换至RRC非激活态,若终端设备处于RRC非激活态,则第一接入网设备可以将第一接入网设备中配置的第一对应关系广播至终端设备。同理,第二接入网设备也可以将第二接入网设备中配置的第一对应关系广播至终端设备。
图8所示流程中各步骤中的具体实现方式,均可参见图5或图6相关实施例中描述。
上述技术方案中,核心网设备和终端设备协商第一需求等级,第一需求等级与终端设备的业务特征相关联,或者说与接入网设备和终端设备之间的信道状态相关联,接入网设备基于第一需求等级和第一对应关系确定第一频域信息,以及终端设备基于第一需求等级和第一对应关系确定第一频域信息,充分考虑终端设备的业务特征,接入网设备和终端设备在第一频域信息对应的资源上传输第一消息,有助于提高终端设备接收到第一消息的概率,且避免不必要的资源消耗和能量消耗。
结合上述图5相关实施例,本申请实施例示例性提供第三种通信方法,该通信方法中第一需求信息可以是由接入网设备和终端设备之间达成共识的。
可以将第一需求信息称为第一需求参数,可以将预设对应关系称为第二对应关系,如下先对第一需求参数、第二对应关系分别进行解释。
一、第一需求参数
第一需求参数用于指示终端设备与接入网设备之间的信道状态对接入网设备寻呼终端设备的传输参数的配置需求。第一需求参数包括一个或多个参考需求参数,参考需求参数比如最大重复次数、参考信号接收功率、覆盖增强等级、DRX周期、WUS使能标识、寻呼时机密度。
其中最大重复次数、DRX周期、WUS使能标识、寻呼时机密度已在图6相关实施例中描述,不再赘述。
参考信号接收功率为一个符号(symbol)内承载参考信号的所有资源单元(resource element,RE)上接收到的信号功率的平均值,其用于指示终端设备的信道状态。
覆盖增强等级(coverage enhancement level,CEL),用于指示寻呼信息的覆盖增强需求,例如,寻呼信息的覆盖增强等级与覆盖增强需求正相关,覆盖增强等级0(CE0)对应的覆盖增强需求,比覆盖增强等级3(CE3)对应的覆盖增强需求小。以信号重复为例,CE0下寻呼信息需要重复发送的次数小于CE3下寻呼信息需要重复发送的次数。
第一需求参数中各参考需求参数可以通过对应预设值或预设区间确定所指示的需求。
参考需求参数对应预设值指示的需求为:第一传输参数中对应的参考传输参数需要等于该预设值。比如参考需求参数为WUS使能标识,WUS使能标识对应预设值,则指示第一传输参数中WUS使能标识需要为该预设值。
参考需求参数对应预设区间指示的需求为:第一传输参数中对应的参考传输参数需要处于该预设区间内。比如参考需求参数为最大重复次数,最大重复次数对应预设区间,则指示第一传输参数中最大重复次数需要处于该预设区间内。
当然,第一需求参数还可以是其他名称、数量和定义,本申请不做限制。
一种可选实现方式中,接入网设备和终端设备之间协商确定第一需求参数。
具体的,终端设备向接入网设备发送AS信令,其中AS信令包括终端设备请求的第一需求参数,AS信令比如RRC消息。接入网设备若确定接受该第一需求参数,则可以向终端设备发送接受信息。接入网设备若确定不接受该第一需求参数,则可以向终端设备发送拒绝信息。进一步的,接入网设备可以在发送拒绝信息时,发送接入网设备所指示的第一需求参数。示例性的,拒绝信息可以承载于RRC释放消息中,或拒绝信息和接入网设备所指示的第一需求参数可以承载于RRC释放消息中。
此外,终端设备也可以将第一需求参数直接上报至接入网设备,或接入网设备将第一需求参数直接下发至终端设备,示例性的,终端设备可以将第一需求参数承载于向接入网设备发送的RRC消息中,RRC消息比如RRC连接建立请求消息、RRC连接建立完成消息、RRC连接重配完成消息。再示例性的,接入网设备可以将第一需求参数承载于向终端设备发送的RRC消息中,RRC消息比如RRC释放消息。接入网设备和终端设备之间无需请求和确认这样的信令交互过程,即可以确定第一需求参数。
接入网设备可以向核心网设备发送第一需求参数,若终端设备处于RRC空闲态,终端设备所属小区对应的接入网设备可以从核心网设备中获取第一需求参数,终端设备所属小区对应的接入网设备无需再次与终端设备协商第一需求参数,有助于避免频繁协商,从而节省协商信令。
二、第二对应关系
第二对应关系指示需求参数和频域资源的对应关系。
在一种实现方式中,第二对应关系中包括多个频域信息,其中每个频域信息包括频域资源和传输参数。在另一种实现方式中,频域信息为频域资源,第二对应关系中包括多个频域资源与各频域资源对应的传输参数。
示例性的,频域资源与传输参数的对应关系如表5所示。
表5
频域资源 传输参数
频域资源1 传输参数1
频域资源2 传输参数2
频域资源3 传输参数3
频域资源4 传输参数4
第二对应关系以表格形式为例说明,本申请中第二对应关系并不限定于表格形式。
上述第二对应关系中,可以使用频域资源索引指示频域资源,比如上述表5中,可以使用索引1指示频域资源1,索引2指示频域资源2。此外,第一对应关系中也可以没有频域资源索引,而是根据第二对应关系中位置隐式指示频域资源,比如上述表5中,处于第一个位置上的频域资源为频域资源1,处于第二个位置上的频域资源为频域资源2。
传输参数包括M个参考传输参数,M大于或等于1,参考传输参数比如最大重复次数、参考信号接收功率、覆盖增强等级、DRX周期、WUS使能标识、寻呼时机密度。具体解释可参照上述描述,此处不再赘述。
一种可选示例中,传输参数包括最大重复次数、DRX周期、WUS使能标识,第二对应关系如表6所示。
表6
频域资源 传输参数
频域资源1 传输参数1(最大重复次数1、DRX周期1、WUS使能标识1)
频域资源2 传输参数2(最大重复次数2、DRX周期2、WUS使能标识2)
频域资源3 传输参数3(最大重复次数3、DRX周期3、WUS使能标识3)
频域资源4 传输参数4(最大重复次数4、DRX周期4、WUS使能标识4)
需要指出的是,不同小区对应的第二对应关系可以相同或不同,终端设备可以接收来自接入网设备的该驻留小区的第二对应关系。一个示例中,终端设备驻留在某个小区中,接入网设备向终端设备广播该小区的第二对应关系。另一个示例中,终端设备在小区重选至目标小区后,向目标小区对应接入网设备请求该小区的第二对应关系,接入网设备向终端设备发送该小区的第二对应关系。
结合上述描述,如图9为本申请提供的第三种通信方法的流程示意图,其中过程如下。
步骤901,终端设备根据第一需求参数和第二对应关系,确定第一频域信息。
在一种实现方式中,终端设备从多个频域信息中确定出第一频域信息,其中第一频域信息中第一传输参数符合第一需求参数。在另一种实现方式中,终端设备从多个频域信息中确定出第一频域信息,其中第一频域信息对应的第一传输参数符合第一需求参数。
第一传输参数符合第一需求参数,具体可以是,第一传输参数中N个参考传输参数符合第一需求参数,其中N大于或等于1,且小于或等于M。
进一步的,第一传输参数中参考传输参数与第一需求参数中参考需求参数之间存在对应关系,第一传输参数中参考传输参数符合第一需求参数中对应参考需求参数指示的需求。
示例性的,第一需求参数中包括参考需求参数如最大重复次数、DRX周期、WUS使能标识,并分别指示最大重复次数需求、DRX周期需求、WUS使能需求。终端设备确定 第二对应关系中与第一需求参数相对应的第一频域信息,可以有如下示例:
示例1,终端设备确定各参考传输参数均符合对应需求的传输参数为第一传输参数。
比如表6中,终端设备确定传输参数1中最大重复次数1符合最大重复次数需求,DRX周期1符合DRX周期需求,WUS使能标识1符合WUS使能需求,则确定传输参数1符合第一需求参数,并将传输参数1确定为第一传输参数。
示例2,终端设备根据各参考传输参数对应的优先级,确定优先级排序中前N个优先级对应的参考传输参数符合对应需求的传输参数为第一传输参数。
比如表6中,各参考传输参数的优先级排序从高到低依次为最大重复次数、DRX周期、WUS使能标识。比如N=1,若终端设备确定传输参数1中最大重复次数1符合最大重复次数需求,则确定传输参数1符合第一需求参数,并将传输参数1确定为第一传输参数。再比如N=2,若终端设备确定传输参数1中最大重复次数1符合最大重复次数需求,以及DRX周期1符合DRX周期需求,则确定传输参数1符合第一需求参数,并将传输参数1确定为第一传输参数。
此外,在上述示例1不能确定第一传输参数时,终端设备也可以基于各参考传输参数的优先级,确定优先级排序中前N个优先级对应的参考传输参数符合对应需求的传输参数为第一传输参数。
比如表6中,各参考传输参数的优先级排序从高到低依次为最大重复次数、DRX周期、WUS使能标识。终端设备采用上述示例1中实现方式确定不存在各参考传输参数均符合对应需求的传输参数,终端设备可以先确定是否存在前2个优先级对应的参考传输参数符合对应需求的传输参数。具体的,终端设备确定最大重复次数符合最大重复次数需求,以及DRX周期符合DRX周期需求的传输参数作为第一传输参数。比如若终端设备确定传输参数1中最大重复次数1符合最大重复次数需求,以及DRX周期1符合DRX周期需求,则确定传输参数1符合第一需求参数,并将传输参数1确定为第一传输参数。
若终端设备确定不存在前2个优先级对应的参考传输参数均符合对应需求的传输参数,则终端设备确定是否存在第1个优先级对应的参考传输参数符合对应需求的传输参数。比如若终端设备确定传输参数1中最大重复次数1符合最大重复次数需求,则确定传输参数1符合第一需求参数,并将传输参数1确定为第一传输参数。
本申请实施例中,各参考传输参数对应的优先级可以是由接入网设备配置,也可以是由协议预先规定。
上述示例中,终端设备可能确定出多个符合条件的传输参数,比如示例1中,终端设备可能确定出多个各参考传输参数均符合对应需求的传输参数,可以将该多个符合条件的传输参数分别对应的频域资源称为是多个候选频域资源,终端设备可以基于关系式(2)或关系式(3)从该多个候选频域资源中确定出第一频域资源。
上述示例中,终端设备根据各参考传输参数对应的优先级,确定优先级排序中前N个优先级对应的参考传输参数符合对应需求的传输参数为第一传输参数,且优先级可以是预先配置的或协议规定的,通过该方式可以提升确定过程中的灵活性。
步骤902,接入网设备根据第一需求参数和第二对应关系,确定第一频域信息。
本申请中,接入网设备根据第二对应关系和第一需求参数,确定第一频域信息的实现方式可以具体参照步骤901中终端设备确定第一频域信息的实现方式,此处不再赘述。
步骤903,接入网设备在第一频域信息对应的资源上发送第一消息。
在一种实现方式中,第一频域信息包括第一频域资源和第一传输参数,接入网设备在第一频域资源上,使用第一传输参数发送第一消息。相应的,终端设备在第一频域资源上,使用第一传输参数接收第一消息。
在另一种实现方式中,第一频域信息为第一频域资源,接入网设备在第一频域资源上,使用第一频域资源对应的第一传输参数发送第一消息。相应的,终端设备在第一频域资源上,使用第一频域资源对应的第一传输参数接收第一消息。
可选的,终端设备根据第一消息,与接入网设备建立RRC连接,具体可参照现有技术中关于终端设备接入网络的描述,此处不赘述。
需要说明的是,第一需求参数可能会发生改变。
具体的,终端设备可以通过测量服务小区的下行参考信号确定服务小区的信道状态,并确定第一需求参数是否发生变化。参考信号可以包括参考信号接收功率(reference signal received power,RSRP)、参考信号接收质量(reference signal received quality,RSRQ)、信号与干扰噪声比(signal interference noise ratio,SINR)、或者信号与噪声比(signal noise ratio,SNR)等中的至少一项。例如,终端设备检测当前所属小区发送的参考信号,若检测的RSRP变化量大于门限,或者,若检测的CEL发生改变,则确定当前所属小区对应的当前信道状态,以及第一需求参数发生变化。
终端设备若确定第一需求参数发生变化,则可以向接入网设备发送第一请求信息。
第一种实现中,该第一请求信息中包括更新后的需求参数(如下称为第二需求参数),接入网设备接收到该第一请求信息后,根据所述第二需求参数更新所述第一需求参数,具体可以是直接将第二需求参数替换第一需求参数。
第二种实现中,该第一请求信息中包括用于指示更新第一需求参数的第一指示信息,接入网设备接收到该第一请求信息后,根据第一指示信息更新第一需求参数得到第二需求参数,并向终端设备发送第二需求参数。该实现方式可以有至少如下两个示例:
一个示例,第一指示信息具体可以是需求参数的变化信息,比如,相比于第一需求参数的增量信息,接入网设备根据该增量信息调整第一需求参数得到调整后的需求参数,即为第二需求参数。
再一个示例,该第一请求信息中包括用于指示更新第一需求参数的第一指示信息,接入网设备接收到该第一请求信息后,根据接入网设备和终端设备之间上行链路的信道状态,确定第二需求参数,并向终端设备发送第二需求参数。
需要指出的是,第一种实现的第一请求信息中第二需求参数也可以理解为第一指示信息,该第一指示信息即用于指示接入网设备将第一需求参数替换为第一指示信息所指示的第二需求参数。
相应的,在接入网设备和终端设备均更新第一需求参数得到第二需求参数之后,接入网设备和终端设备可以根据第二需求参数和第二对应关系,确定第一频域信息。接入网设备与终端设备在确定出的第一频域信息上传输消息。
进一步的,终端设备的第一需求参数发生变化,接入网设备还可以向核心网设备发送第二需求参数,从而在核心网设备指示第二接入网设备寻呼处于空闲态的终端设备时,核心网设备可以向第二接入网设备发送第二需求参数。
此外,终端设备若确定第一需求参数发生变化,还可以有如下实现方式:
一种实现中,接入网设备还可以在第二对应关系中设置默认频域信息,若终端设备的 第一需求参数发生变化,终端设备向接入网设备发送第一请求信息,终端设备和接入网设备可以将默认频域信息确定为第一频域信息。若默认频域信息为多个,则可以将多个默认频域信息作为多个候选频域信息,并根据上述关系式(2)或关系式(3)确定出第一频域信息。
另一种实现中,若终端设备的第一需求参数发生变化,终端设备向接入网设备发送第一请求信息,终端设备和接入网设备可以根据上述关系式(1)确定出第一频域信息。
在该两种实现中,终端设备若确定第一需求参数发生变化,则接入网设备和终端设备基于第一需求参数和第二对应关系确定第一频域信息的实现方式不再适用,则可以回退至默认频域信息,或回退至现有技术中确定频域信息的方法,有助于增强系统健壮性。

上述流程还可以包括:终端设备从RRC连接态切换至RRC非激活态,若终端设备处于RRC非激活态,则第一接入网设备可以向终端设备广播第一接入网设备中配置的第二对应关系或第一需求参数。同理,第二接入网设备也可以向终端设备广播第二接入网设备中配置的第二对应关系或第一需求参数。
此外,终端设备若接入至第二接入网设备,则可以与第二接入网设备协商第一需求参数,进而在终端设备处于RRC空闲态或RRC非激活态时,第二接入网设备与终端设备可以基于第二接入网设备中配置的第二对应关系和协商的第一需求参数,确定第一频域信息。
