CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

The present disclosure claims the priority of the Chinese patent application with the application number of 202011149242.9 and the application title of "A method and device for energy-saving signal transmission" filed with the Chinese Patent Office on October 23, 2020, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. middle.

technical field

The present disclosure relates to the field of wireless communication technologies, and in particular, to a method and device for energy-saving signal transmission.

Background technique

In the 5G NR system, in order to obtain downlink scheduling information, the terminal needs to monitor the PDCCH at each physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring opportunity (PDCCH monitoring occasion) to determine whether user scheduling information is transmitted. Wherein, one PDCCH listening opportunity corresponds to a period of time, such as a time length of several symbols.

When the terminal is configured with discontinuous reception (DRX), the terminal will monitor the PDCCH discontinuously. The terminal only performs PDCCH monitoring during the DRX activation period (on-duration) or when the inactivity timer (inactivity timer) does not expire, so as to reduce the power consumption of the terminal. Before the activation period of the DRX cycle, the base station may send an energy saving signal to the terminal to dynamically instruct the terminal whether to perform PDCCH monitoring during the activation period of the next one or more DRX cycles. The energy-saving signal is a PDCCH-type physical layer signal, and its monitoring process is consistent with the PDCCH monitoring behavior scheduled by the user.

The base station can configure multiple DRX groups for the serving cell of the terminal, and each DRX group has a different activation duration. When the terminal is configured with multiple DRX groups at the same time, how to specify the indicated DRX group through the energy saving signal is currently required. solved problem.

In addition, although the disclosures in the present disclosure are presented in terms of one or several exemplary examples, it should be understood that each aspect of the disclosures may also constitute a complete technical solution individually.

The following first describes some technical terms in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

The "terminal" in the embodiments of the present disclosure, also known as user equipment (UE), mobile station (mobile station, MS), mobile terminal (mobile terminal, MT), etc., is a device that provides voice and/or or data connectivity devices, such as handheld devices with wireless connectivity, in-vehicle devices, etc. At present, some examples of terminals are: mobile phone (mobile phone), tablet computer, notebook computer, PDA, mobile internet device (MID), wearable device, virtual reality (virtual reality, VR) device, augmented reality (augmented reality, AR) equipment, wireless terminals in industrial control, wireless terminals in self-driving, wireless terminals in remote medical surgery, smart grid wireless terminals in transportation safety, wireless terminals in smart cities, wireless terminals in smart homes, etc.

The "network device" in this embodiment of the present disclosure may be a RAN node or a base station. The RAN is the part of the network that connects terminals to the wireless network. A RAN node (or device) is a node (or device) in a radio access network, and may also be referred to as a base station. At present, some examples of RAN nodes are: gNB, transmission reception point (TRP), evolved Node B (evolved Node B, eNB), radio network controller (RNC), Node B (Node B) B, NB), base station controller (BSC), base transceiver station (base transceiver station, BTS), home base station (for example, home evolved NodeB, or home Node B, HNB), base band unit (base band unit) , BBU), or wireless fidelity (wireless fidelity, Wifi) access point (access point, AP), etc. In addition, in a network structure, the RAN may include a centralized unit (centralized unit, CU) node and a distributed unit (distributed unit, DU) node.

It should be understood that the terms "first", "second" and the like in the description and claims of the present disclosure and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that data so used may be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, eg, can be implemented in an order other than those presented in the illustrations or descriptions of embodiments of the present disclosure.

Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having" and any variations thereof, are intended to cover but not exclusively include, for example, a product or device incorporating a series of components is not necessarily limited to those explicitly listed, but may include No other components are expressly listed or inherent to these products or devices.

As used in this disclosure, the term "module" refers to any known or later developed hardware, software, firmware, artificial intelligence, fuzzy logic, or combination of hardware or/and software code capable of performing the function associated with that element.

The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and apparatus for transmitting an energy-saving signal, which can specify the DRX group indicated by the energy-saving signal in the case that at least two DRX groups are configured at the same time for a terminal.

The following briefly describes the DRX mechanism.

FIG. 1 exemplarily shows the DRX cycle. A DRX cycle includes a DRX activation period (on-duration) and a DRX inactivation period (DRX off, also called opportunity for DRX). In a DRX cycle, the terminal only monitors the PDCCH during the DRX activation period (on-duration) period, and during the DRX inactive period (opportunity for DRX), the terminal enters the sleep mode, and does not receive the PDCCH in this mode to reduce power consumption .

DRX information (DRX-Info, DRX parameters) specifically includes the following items:

-DRX activation period timer (drx-onDurationTimer): the duration of continuous monitoring of the PDCCH from the DRX cycle;

-DRX slot offset (drx-SlotOffset): time delay from the start of the DRX active period timer (drx-onDurationTimer);

-DRX inactivity timer (drx-InactivityTimer): When the PDCCH indicates that there is new uplink (UL) or downlink (DL) data transmission, it is turned on after the PDCCH is received. When the timer expires, the terminal will enter the inactivity state;

-DRX downlink retransmission timer (drx-RetransmissionTimerDL): for each downlink Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) process, the maximum duration before the arrival of downlink retransmission data;

-DRX uplink retransmission timer (drx-RetransmissionTimerUL): for each uplink HARQ process, the maximum duration before uplink retransmission data arrives;

-DRX downlink HARQ RTT timer (drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerDL): For each downlink HARQ process, the media access control (MAC) entity needs to perform downlink HARQ retransmission. The minimum length of time;

-DRX Uplink HARQ RTT Timer (drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerUL): For each uplink HARQ process, the MAC entity needs to perform the minimum length of time before uplink HARQ retransmission.

When any of the DRX active period timer (drx-onDurationTimer), DRX inactive period timer (drx-InactivityTimer), DRX downlink retransmission timer (drx-RetransmissionTimerDL), and DRX uplink retransmission timer (drx-RetransmissionTimerUL) During operation, the terminal is active.

When the terminal is configured with only one DRX group (that is, only one set of DRX parameters is configured), for a DRX cycle, the terminal only has the DRX activation period (on-duration) or the inactivity timer (drx-InactivityTimer) not timed out , perform discontinuous PDCCH monitoring on all serving cells. During the DRX inactive period (opportunity for DRX), the terminal enters sleep mode, in which the terminal does not receive other PDCCHs except scheduling broadcast signaling to reduce power consumption .

The base station may configure multiple DRX groups for the serving cell of the terminal. In addition to having different DRX active period timers (drx-onDurationTimer) and DRX inactive period timers (drx-InactivityTimer), other parameters of multiple DRX groups can be the same. For example, the following parameters can be the same: drx-SlotOffset, drx-RetransmissionTimerDL , drx-RetransmissionTimerUL, drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerDL, drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerUL. That is, the DRX cycles of different DRX groups are the same, but have different activation durations.

The base station configures a DRX group for the primary cell (Pcell) of the terminal, so that the primary cell belongs to the DRX group. The base station may configure the same DRX group for different secondary cells (Scells) of the terminal, so that different secondary cells belong to the same DRX group. The base station may also configure different DRX groups for different secondary cells, so that different secondary cells belong to different DRX groups.

The secondary cells of the terminal may be divided into one or more secondary cell sleep groups, and one secondary cell sleep group may include one or more secondary cells. The base station may configure a DRX group for a secondary cell sleep group, so that all the secondary cells in the secondary cell sleep group belong to the DRX group. The base station may also configure multiple DRX groups for a secondary cell sleep group, for example, configure a first DRX group and a second DRX group for a secondary cell sleep group, so that some secondary cells in the secondary cell sleep group belong to the first DRX group , and another part of the secondary cells belong to the second DRX group.

In Rel-16, the energy-saving signal configured in the primary cell during the inactive period of the DRX cycle has two functions: one is the wake-up indication (Wake-up indication). "On" to indicate, that is, whether to enable drx-onDurationTimer; the second is the secondary cell dormancy indication, which is used for the secondary cell dormancy configured for high-level signaling (such as RRC signaling, where RRC is the abbreviation of Radio Resource Control, which means Radio Resource Control). The sleep behavior of the group is indicated, that is, whether to switch to a subset bandwidth (Band Width Part, BWP) without PDCCH configuration.

FIG. 2 illustrates a schematic diagram of a wake-up indication of a power-saving signal when a terminal is configured with one DRX group. As shown in Figure 2, the terminal receives the energy-saving signal (DCI with CRC Scrambled by PS-RNTI, referred to as DCP) on the primary cell, where DCI is the abbreviation of Downlink Control Information, indicating downlink control information, CRC is the abbreviation of Cyclic Redundancy Check, Represents cyclic redundancy check), the first energy-saving signal 201 carries the secondary cell dormancy indication information, which is used to indicate whether the primary cell and the secondary cell enter the dormant state during the activation of the next DRX cycle; the second energy-saving signal 202 carries The wake-up indication information is used to instruct the primary cell and the secondary cell to wake up during the activation of the next DRX cycle. The terminal performs data transmission during the activation of the DRX cycle of the primary cell.

In the prior art, when the terminal configures two DRX groups (the first DRX group and the second DRX group) at the same time, the terminal cannot determine which DRX group is indicated by the energy saving signal. For example, if the terminal receives a MAC CE carrying a DRX command (ie, DRX Command MAC CE, where CE is the English abbreviation of control element, indicating a control unit) or a MAC CE of a long DRX command (ie, Long DRX Command MAC CE), The timers of each DRX group (including the active period timer and the inactive period timer) are stopped. The network device sends an energy-saving signal carrying a wake-up indication, but since the energy-saving signal cannot explicitly indicate which DRX group's activation period timer to start, the terminal cannot determine which DRX group's drx-onDurationTimer to turn on according to the wake-up indication carried by the energy-saving signal.

Further, in the prior art, when the primary cell and the secondary cell belong to different DRX groups, due to inconsistent parameter configurations of the two DRX groups, the activation states of the primary cell and the secondary cell are inconsistent, and the monitoring of the PDCCH-based energy-saving signal will meet. Affected by the DRX cycle. As shown in Figure 3a, the primary cell belongs to the first DRX group, and the secondary cell belongs to the second DRX group. In a DRX cycle after the first energy saving signal 301, data transmission is performed during the activation period of the DRX cycle of the secondary cell, When the network device sends the second energy-saving signal 302, the secondary cell of the terminal is in the active period, while the primary cell is in the inactive period. According to the Rel-16 protocol, the energy-saving signal is only monitored outside the DRX inactive period. In the case where the secondary cell is active, the terminal will not receive the second energy-saving signal 302, so that the energy-saving signal becomes invalid and the power consumption of the terminal increases.

Further, in the prior art, when the secondary cells in a secondary cell dormancy group belong to different DRX groups, and the energy saving signal indicates that the secondary cell dormancy group is dormant, all cells in the secondary cell dormancy group are switched to no PDCCH configuration through BWP. On the BWP of the secondary cell, it affects the data transmission on the secondary cell. In a situation as shown in Figure 3b, the secondary cell sleep group includes a first secondary cell and a second secondary cell, the first secondary cell belongs to the first DRX group and belongs to the same DRX group as the primary cell, and the second secondary cell belongs to the same DRX group. In the second DRX group, there is data transmission during the active period of the DRX cycle of the second DRX group, and the data transmission is not completed in the DRX cycle. The terminal receives the first power-saving signal 303 in the primary cell, and the first power-saving signal is used to instruct the secondary cell sleep group to adopt the sleep behavior in the next DRX cycle, so that the data in the DRX activation period of the second secondary cell cannot be transmitted .

In order to solve the above problem, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and apparatus for transmitting an energy-saving signal, which can specify the DRX group indicated by the energy-saving signal in the case that a terminal is configured with at least two DRX groups at the same time.

Referring to FIG. 4 , a flowchart of a method for transmitting an energy-saving signal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. As shown in Figure 4, the method mainly includes the following steps:

S401: The network device sends an energy saving signal.

The energy saving signal carries at least one of wake-up indication information and secondary cell sleep indication information. The secondary cell dormancy indication information is used to indicate the dormancy behavior of a secondary cell or a secondary cell dormancy group belonging to at least one DRX group.

The sleep behavior of the secondary cell or the secondary cell sleep group belonging to at least one DRX group includes that the secondary cell enters the sleep state or does not enter the sleep state. The entering of a secondary cell into a dormant state means that the secondary cell is switched to a BWP without a PDCCH configuration.

The wake-up indication information is used to indicate the sleep behavior of at least one DRX group. Specifically, the wake-up indication information can be used to indicate whether to enable the active period timer of at least one DRX group, that is, by enabling or not enabling the active period timer of the DRX group, the wake-up behavior of cells belonging to the DRX group can be affected. For a DRX group, the cells belonging to the DRX group may include one or various combinations of the following:

main district;

One or more secondary cell dormancy groups, wherein the secondary cells in the secondary cell dormancy group all belong to the same DRX group;

The secondary cells included in one or more secondary cell sleep groups that belong to the DRX group, wherein some secondary cells in the secondary cell sleep group and another part of the secondary cells belong to different DRX groups.

Among them, since whether the DRX active period timer is running is one of the reasons that affects whether the terminal is in the active state, by enabling or not enabling the active period timer of the DRX group, the wake-up of the terminal in the cell belonging to the DRX group can be affected. Behavior.

Optionally, the energy saving signal may be carried on the PDCCH and sent.

S402: The terminal receives the energy saving signal.

Further, after receiving the energy-saving signal, the terminal can specify the DRX group indicated by the energy-saving signal according to at least one of the wake-up indication information carried by the energy-saving signal and the sleep indication information of the secondary cell, and then can enable or disable it according to the wake-up indication information. The activation period timer of the corresponding DRX group is not started, and the dormancy behavior of the secondary cell or the secondary cell dormancy group belonging to the corresponding DRX group is determined according to the dormancy indication information of the secondary cell. This process may be performed by processing module 502 in FIG. 5 .

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, before step S401, the network device may further configure a monitoring position of the energy-saving signal for the terminal. Specifically, the network device can configure the monitoring position of the energy-saving signal for the terminal through the search space set of the PDCCH configured by the high-level signaling, wherein the search space set includes the monitoring position of the energy-saving signal; the network device can also configure the position of the set subframe. For the monitoring position, for example, the set position related to the starting position of the DRX cycle is configured as the monitoring position; the network device may also configure the monitoring position of the energy-saving signal according to the monitoring range. The configuration of listening locations may be performed by processing module 602 in FIG. 6 .

The network device sends the power-saving signal at the configured listening position, and the terminal receives the power-saving signal at the configured listening position.
