Detailed ways

First, the embodiments of the present application briefly introduce the technical terms that may be involved.

1. The configured resources of the terminal device

The access network device can send high-level signaling carrying configuration information to the terminal device, such as RRC layer signaling (that is, access layer signaling), or non-access layer signaling, etc., where the configuration information can be used to indicate the terminal The resources the device is configured with.

For example, the configured resources indicated by the configuration information for the terminal equipment may include the following two component carriers (component carriers, CC): CC1 and CC2, and each carrier is configured with 4 BWPs. Wherein, CC1 includes BWP1_1, BWP1_2, BWP1_3, and BWP1_4, respectively, and CC2 includes BWP2_1, BWP2_2, BWP2_3, and BWP2_4, respectively. In addition, the configuration information may also indicate the number of MIMO layers of each BWP, for example, indicating that the number of MIMO layers of BWP1_1, BWP1_2, BWP1_3, and BWP1_4 are configured as: 2, 2, 4, and 4, respectively, and indicate that BWP2_1, BWP2_2, BWP2_3 , and the number of MIMO layers of BWP2_4 are respectively configured as: 1, 1, 2, and 2 layers.

2. The terminal device is activated (actived) resources

The access network device may send signaling carrying activation information, such as physical layer signaling or MAC layer signaling or RRC layer signaling, to the terminal device, where the activation information may be used to indicate the activated resources of the terminal device. The data of the terminal device may be carried within the resource in which the terminal device is activated.

It should be noted that the resources activated by the terminal device may be some or all of the resources configured by the terminal device.

For example, when the resources configured by the terminal device are the aforementioned CC1 and CC2, the resources activated by the terminal device may include: activating BWP1_1 in CC1 and BWP2_1 in CC2. At this time, the data of the terminal device is carried in BWP1_1 and BWP2_1, and which resource or resources in BWP1_1 and BWP2_1 are carried specifically needs to be scheduled by the access network device.

3. The resources that the terminal device is scheduled (scheduled)

The access network device may send physical layer signaling carrying scheduling information to the terminal device, where the scheduling information may be used to indicate the resources scheduled by the terminal device, that is, the resources scheduled by the terminal device are the resources actually used for data transmission. The data of the terminal device can be transmitted in the scheduled resources, and the transmitted data is carried on the data channel. The data channel can include: physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), physical uplink shared channel (physical uplink shared channel, PUSCH), physical sidelink shared channel (physical sidelink shared channel, PSSCH), etc.

It should be noted that the resources scheduled by the terminal device may be part or all of the corresponding activated resources of the terminal device, or the resources scheduled by the terminal device may also be the resources of the terminal device in the corresponding configured resources. some or all.

For example, when BWP1_2 includes 273 resource blocks, and the resource activated by the terminal device is the above-mentioned BWP1_2, the access network device may schedule the terminal device PDSCH transmission resources to be M resource blocks in the 273 resource blocks of BWP1_2, wherein, M is less than or equal to 273. At this time, the data (ie PDSCH) transmitted by the terminal device is actually carried on the M resource blocks.

4. Resource utilization or resource scheduling ratio

The resource utilization rate or resource scheduling ratio can be the ratio of the size of the resources actually used by the terminal device to transmit data to the size of the resources activated by the terminal device, or the size of the resources actually used by the terminal device to transmit data and the size of the resources configured by the terminal device. The ratio of resource size. The configured resource size or the activated resource size is the current total available resource size of the terminal device. The resources actually used by the terminal equipment to transmit data can be the resources scheduled by the terminal equipment. Therefore, the utilization rate of the resources or the resource scheduling ratio can also be expressed as the ratio of the size of the resources scheduled by the terminal equipment to the size of the resources activated by the terminal equipment. , or the ratio of the size of the resources scheduled by the terminal device to the size of the resources configured by the terminal device, or the ratio of the size of the resources scheduled by the terminal device to the size of the available resources of the terminal device. Therefore, "resource scheduling ratio" and "resource utilization ratio" can be replaced with each other. In addition, "utilization of resources" may be interchanged with "utilization of resources".

It should be noted that the difference between "resources actually used to transmit data" and "resources activated by a terminal device" is that some of the resources activated by the terminal device may not be used for data transmission. The difference between "resources actually used for data transmission" and "resources configured by the terminal device" is that some of the resources configured by the terminal device may not be used for data transmission. The configured resource size or the activated resource size is the current total available resource size of the terminal device. The difference between "resources activated by a terminal device" and "resources configured by a terminal device" is that some of the resources configured by the terminal device may not be activated. In addition, there may be situations where configuration and activation are equivalent, for example, the configured resource of the terminal device may also be the activated resource.

It can be understood that when transmitting data, the terminal device will determine the size of the computing resources (including software and hardware resources, such as software and hardware resources, such as , radio frequency, front end, processor, memory, etc.), therefore, the larger the resources that the terminal device is activated or configured with, the more computing resources the terminal device uses to send and receive data. The activated or configured resources of the terminal device can also be understood as the data capability that the terminal device can currently process. The higher the ratio of the activated or configured resources of the terminal device to the actual data transmission of the terminal device, the more fully utilized the resources of the terminal device. Therefore, when the resources actually used for data transmission account for the activated or configured resources The larger the ratio is, the less energy is wasted when the terminal device uses the activated or configured resources to transmit data, and the higher the transmission energy efficiency of the terminal device.

Generally, when the access network device indicates that a specific carrier or a specific BWP is activated, it means that the access network device and the terminal device will perform data transmission on the activated resource, and the terminal device will perform data transmission according to the activated carrier or BWP. Resource size, activate the corresponding software and hardware processing resources.

For example, when the access network device instructs to activate BWP1_1, the size of the activated BWP1_1 is 51RBs, and the subcarrier interval is 30KHz, which means that the data transmission will be transmitted within the 20MHz bandwidth, and the terminal device will activate the corresponding processing resources according to the 20MHz bandwidth For example, if a 20MHz radio frequency channel is opened, if the maximum data transmission rate corresponding to 20MHz is 460Mbps, the terminal device will prepare to use a processor capable of processing 460Mbps for data transmission.

Or for example, when the network device instructs to activate BWP1_2, the size of the activated BWP1_2 is 273RBs, and the subcarrier interval is 30KHz, which means that the data transmission will be transmitted within the 100MHz bandwidth, and the terminal device will activate the corresponding processing resources according to the 100MHz bandwidth, For example, if a 100MHz radio frequency channel is opened, if the maximum data transmission rate corresponding to 100MHz is 2.3Gbps, the terminal device will prepare to use a processor capable of handling 2.3Gbps for data transmission.

If the size of the scheduled resource of the terminal device is 51RBs, and the BWP1_1 is used as the activated BWP (that is, the size of the activated resource is 51RBs), the resource scheduling ratio under this assumption (called the first assumption) is 100%; In the second case, if the size of the scheduled resource of the terminal device is 51RBs, and BWP1_2 is used as the activated BWP (that is, the size of the activated resource is 273RBs), the resource scheduling ratio under this assumption (called the second assumption) is About 18.7%. Obviously, the resource scheduling ratio of the first assumption is greater than the resource scheduling ratio of the second assumption. The method for determining the resource scheduling ratio here is: the ratio of the size of the resources scheduled by the terminal device to the size of the resources activated by the terminal device.

5. DRX

DRX is a working mechanism of the terminal equipment, which can save the power consumption of the terminal equipment. When DRX is configured, the terminal device can work periodically, and in each cycle, the terminal device can enter a "sleep state", such as turning off the RF device and/or the baseband processor, without continuously monitoring the physical downlink control channel ( physical downlink control channel, PDCCH) to save power consumption. The working cycle of the terminal device is the DRX cycle.

As shown in Figure 1, a DRX cycle may include: on-duration, inactivity-timer, and inactivity for DRX, during which the terminal device can sleep .

During the activation period, the terminal device is woken up and continues to monitor the PDCCH. If the terminal device detects a valid PDCCH in the active time period, the terminal device enters the inactivity timer, otherwise the terminal device enters the inactive time period. The valid PDCCH here may be: refers to the channel carrying the control signaling sent to the terminal device. The control signaling sent to the terminal equipment may be: dedicated signaling sent to the terminal equipment, and/or broadcast signaling or multicast signaling sent to all or a group of terminal equipment.

For example, the control channel carrying the dedicated signaling sent to the terminal equipment may include: a PDCCH scrambled using a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) of the terminal equipment, a modulation and coding strategy using the terminal equipment Wireless network temporary identifier MCS-RNTI (modulation and coding scheme radio network temporary identifier, MCS-RNTI) scrambled PDCCH, using the configuration of terminal equipment to schedule wireless network temporary identifier (configured scheduling radio network temporary identifier, CS-RNTI) scrambled The PDCCH, the PDCCH scrambled using the terminal equipment semi-persistence scheduling cell radio network temporary identifier (SPS-C-RNTI), the semi-static channel state information wireless network temporary identifier (semi- PDCCH scrambled with persistent channel state information RNTI, SP-CSI-RNTI), PDCCH scrambled with the sidelink radio network temporary identity (sidelink RNTI, SL-RNTI) of the terminal equipment, sidelink configuration scheduling with the terminal equipment Wireless network temporary identification (SideLink Configured Scheduling, SL-CS-RNTI) scrambled PDCCH, using the sidelink LTE-V configuration of the terminal equipment to schedule the wireless network temporary identification (sidelink LTE-V configured scheduled RNTI, SL-L-CS - RNTI) at least one of the scrambled PDCCHs.

The control channel carrying broadcast signaling or multicast signaling sent to all or a group of terminal devices may include: PDCCH scrambled with system message radio network temporary identifier (system information RNTI, SI-RNTI), paging radio network PDCCH scrambled with paging RNTI (P-RNTI), PDCCH scrambled with random access RNTI (RA-RNTI), PDCCH scrambled with MsgB-RNTI (message B RNTI) , PDCCH scrambled with temporary cell wireless network RNTI (TC-RNTI) scrambled, PDCCH scrambled with SFI-RNTI (slot format indicator RNTI) scrambled, PDCCH scrambled with INT-RNTI (interruption RNTI) scrambled scrambled PDCCH, PDCCH scrambled with TPC-PUSCH-RNTI (transmit power control PUSCH RNTI), PDCCH scrambled with TPC-PUCCH-RNTI (transmit power control PUCCH RNTI), and PDCCH scrambled with TPC-SRS-RNTI (transmit power control- sounding reference symbols-RNTI) scrambled PDCCH, CI-RNTI (cancellation indication RNTI) scrambled PDCCH, AI-RNTI (availability indicator RNTI) scrambled PDCCH, PS-RNTI (power saving RNTI) scrambled the PDCCH.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned control channel is an exemplary illustration. For specific types of control channels, reference may be made to the corresponding prior art regulations.

During the inactivity timer, the terminal device remains awake for a period of time and waits for a valid PDCCH to be detected again. If no valid PDCCH is detected before the inactivity timer expires, the terminal device returns to the inactive time period, otherwise, the terminal device may enter the inactivity timer again.

During the inactive time period, the terminal device enters a sleep state. In addition, the terminal device may also transmit an uplink physical shared channel (physical uplink shared channel, PUSCH) during the activation period, that is, the activation period may also include a PUSCH period (not shown in the figure).

In an application scenario, the DRX cycle may include a long DRX cycle (long DRX cycle, LDRX) and a short DRX cycle (short DRX cycle, SDRX), and the terminal device may work according to these two DRX cycles.

Exemplarily, a typical long- and short-cycle DRX process is shown in FIG. 2 . The conversion mechanism between the short DRX cycle and the long DRX cycle is as follows: if in the short DRX cycle, the terminal device monitors a valid PDCCH before the inactivity timer overflows, and the continuous DRX short cycle timer (DRXShortCycleTimer) indicates If no valid PDCCH is detected within the number of times, the terminal device can enter the long DRX cycle after the DRX short cycle timer expires. Conversely, if the terminal device successfully decodes the PDCCH in the long DRX cycle, the terminal device enters the short DRX cycle after the inactivity timer overflows.

It should be noted that the above description of the working process of the DRX is an exemplary description. For the specific DRX mechanism, reference may be made to the corresponding prior art regulations.

6. Data transmission

Unless otherwise specified, the data transmission described herein includes the transmission and reception of data. For example, for an access network device, the transmission of downlink data refers to the access network device sending PDSCH, and the uplink data transmission refers to the access network device receiving PUSCH. For the terminal equipment, the transmission of downlink data refers to the terminal equipment receiving PDSCH, and the uplink data transmission refers to the terminal equipment sending PUSCH.

In the process of implementing the embodiments of the present application, the inventors of the present application found that:

When a terminal device transmits data, the resources actually used to transmit data often only occupy a part of the allocated resources, that is, the resource scheduling ratio allocated to the terminal device is not high, which leads to the terminal device using the allocated resources to transmit data. The power consumption is wasted, and the purpose of saving the power consumption of the device terminal cannot be achieved.

In particular, the resource scheduling ratio allocated to the terminal equipment is not high, which will also reduce the user service quality (including: one or more of the packet transmission rate and packet transmission delay), thereby reducing the user experience rate and increasing the packet transmission delay. , and increase the power consumption of the terminal equipment.

In addition, QoS is currently introduced to evaluate the quality of service experienced by the user. Specifically, for different data packet service types, different service levels QoS will be determined, and according to the requirements of the parameters corresponding to the QoS, corresponding data packets are transmitted on the corresponding air interface resources to meet the service level requirements.

Currently, QoS parameters may include one or more of the following: resource type (resource type), such as guaranteed bit rate (guaranteed bit rate, GBR), non-guaranteed bit rate Non-GBR, or emergency guaranteed bit rate (Delay Critical GBR) ), default priority level, packet delay budget, packet error rate, default maximum data burst volume, default average Window (default averaging window).

Exemplarily, Table 1 is the content included in the 5QI (5G QoS Identifier) in the existing 3GPP TS23.501. Referring to Table 1, a 5QI value (5QI value) can indicate various QoS parameters that a service satisfies during transmission, including: resource type, default priority value, packet delay margin, packet error rate, lack of Save the maximum burst size, and the default average window.

For example, taking the video (cached stream) based on TCP (transmission control protocol, TCP) as an example, the value of 5QI is 6, indicating that the service satisfies the following conditions during transmission: resource type is Non-GBR, default priority The value of level is 60, the packet delay margin is 300 milliseconds (ms), the packet error rate is 10 ^-6 , the default maximum burst packet size is not applicable (N/A), the default average window is not applicable .

For another example, taking the service as the control plane (IMS Signalling) for managing voice as an example, the value of 5QI is 5, indicating that the service satisfies during transmission: the resource type is Non-GBR, the default priority value is 10, and the packet time The delay margin is 100 milliseconds, the packet error rate is 10 ^-6 , the default maximum burst packet size is not applicable, and the default average window is not applicable.

Table 1

However, from the existing parameters of QoS, it can be seen that there is currently no parameter to evaluate the utilization rate of resources for transmitting data over the air interface. Therefore, the current terminal equipment has no means to send the expected resource utilization rate to the access network equipment, and the access network equipment cannot obtain each The resource utilization rate of the air interface data transmission expected by the terminal device. Therefore, when the resource utilization rate allocated to the terminal device is not high and the transmission energy efficiency is low, at least part of the power consumption of the terminal device is wasted when using the scheduled resources to transmit data, resulting in high power consumption of the terminal device.

In order to solve the problem of wasted power consumption of data transmission by terminal equipment, embodiments of the present application provide a communication method and apparatus, so as to save power consumption of terminal equipment, improve user service quality, including reducing packet transmission delay, and/or, Increase the packet transfer rate. It should be noted that all the above-mentioned defects are the result obtained by the inventor after careful practical research.

First, a communication method provided by an embodiment of the present application is briefly introduced. The method includes: acquiring transmission energy efficiency information of a terminal device, where the transmission energy efficiency information can be used to determine resources allocated to the terminal device. Sending scheduling information to the terminal device, the scheduling information may be used to indicate the resources. In this way, the access network device can send scheduling information to the terminal device according to the transmission energy efficiency information provided by the terminal device, so that the terminal device can request the access network device to determine the resources allocated to the terminal device according to the transmission energy efficiency information required by the terminal device . For example, the transmission energy efficiency information of the terminal equipment can instruct the access network equipment to increase the ratio of the resources scheduled by the terminal equipment to the resources activated by the terminal equipment, thereby improving the resource scheduling ratio of the terminal equipment, saving the power consumption of the terminal equipment, and improving user services. quality, including reducing packet transmission delay, and/or, increasing packet transmission rate.

The communication method provided by the embodiment of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to FIG. 4 to FIG. 6 .

Exemplarily, FIG. 4 is a first schematic flowchart of a communication method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The communication method can be applied to the communication between the terminal device and the access network device shown in FIG. 3 .

As shown in Figure 4, the communication method may include the following steps:

S401, an access network device acquires transmission energy efficiency information of a terminal device.

The above-mentioned transmission energy efficiency information may be used to determine the resources allocated to the terminal device.

In some possible implementations, the above-mentioned transmission energy efficiency information may include one or more of the following: an expected resource scheduling ratio, a size of resources expected to be scheduled by the terminal device, a size of resources expected to be activated by the terminal device, and a resource expected to be configured by the terminal device. The resource size, the transmission energy efficiency level expected by the terminal device, the service level expected by the terminal device, or the amount of transmission energy efficiency adjustment expected by the terminal device. Wherein, the expected resource scheduling ratio can be used to determine: the ratio of the size of the resources scheduled by the terminal device to the size of the resources activated by the terminal device, or the ratio of the size of the resources scheduled by the terminal device to the size of the resources configured by the terminal device.

The foregoing various transmission energy efficiency information will be described below in conjunction with specific application scenarios.

A possible resource utilization situation of the terminal device is shown in Table 2. Among them, the terminal device is configured with 2 carriers, including CC1 and CC2. It is assumed that CC1 is configured with 4 BWPs, including: BWP1_1, BWP1_2, BWP1_3, and BWP1_4, and CC2 is configured with 2 BWPs, including: BWP2_1 and BWP2_2.

It can be known from Table 2 that the currently configured resource size of the terminal device is 2 carriers (ie, 273+133=406 RBs). Both carrier CC1 and carrier CC2 are activated, wherein the activated BWP of carrier CC1 is BWP1_1, the activated BWP of carrier CC2 is BWP2_2, and the total activated resource size is 2 BWPs, (ie 273+51=324 RBs) . The size of the scheduled resources of BWP1_1 is 51 RBs, then the resource scheduling ratio of BWP1_1 is 18.6% (51/273), the resource scheduling ratio of BWP2_2 is 100% (51/51), and the total resource scheduling ratio of the two carriers is 31.1% ((51+51)/(273+51)). Wherein, the method for determining the above resource scheduling ratio is: the ratio of the size of the resources scheduled by the terminal device to the size of the resources activated by the terminal device.

Table 2

If the resource scheduling ratio expected by the terminal device is increased to 100%, the content of the above-mentioned various transmission energy efficiency information can be as follows:

The expected resource scheduling ratio can be: 100%;

The size of the resources that the terminal device expects to be scheduled may be: the size of the scheduled resources of BWP1_1 is 273 RBs, or the size of the total scheduled resources is 324 RBs;

The resource size expected to be activated by the terminal device may be: the activated resource size of CC1 is 51RB, or the activated BWP of CC1 is BWP1_4, or the total activated resource size is 102RBs;

The resource size that the terminal device expects to be configured can be: the configured resource size of CC1 is 51RBs, or the total configured resource size is 102RBs;

The expected transmission energy efficiency level of the terminal equipment may be: Level 1;

The transmission energy efficiency adjustment amount expected by the terminal device may be: the transmission energy efficiency adjustment amount of CC1 is an increase of 81.4%.

Among them, since the resources activated by the terminal device may be part or all of the resources configured by the terminal device, that is to say, the size of the activated resources is less than or equal to the size of the configured resources, so in the above example, if the terminal terminal The resource size that the device expects to be configured is: the configured resource size of CC1 is 51RBs, then the access network device can deactivate BWP1_1, BWP1_2, BWP1_3 of the terminal device, so that only BWP1_4 (51RBs) is left in the configured resources in CC1, Or reconfigure the sizes of BWP1_1, BWP1_2, BWP1_3, and BWP1_4 of the terminal device, so that the total configured resource size of BWP1_1, BWP1_2, BWP1_3, and BWP1_4 is less than or equal to 51 RBs.

It can be understood that there can be various specific forms for the above-mentioned transmission of energy efficiency information, and the terminal device can request the access network device to change the allocated resources by transmitting the energy efficiency information, so as to realize the change of the resource scheduling ratio of the terminal device. This change may include: an increase in the resource scheduling ratio, or a decrease in the resource scheduling ratio, or maintaining the resource scheduling ratio unchanged.

Optionally, the transmission energy efficiency level desired by the above-mentioned terminal device may correspond to a desired resource scheduling ratio.

Illustratively, referring to Table 3 below, it is assumed that the transmission energy efficiency level includes three levels in total, namely Level 1 (high energy efficiency), Level 2 (medium energy efficiency), and Level 3 (low energy efficiency). Among them, if the expected resource scheduling ratio is greater than or equal to 0% (in this case, it can also be considered that the terminal device has no recommended value for transmission energy efficiency), the corresponding transmission energy efficiency level is level 3; when the expected resource scheduling ratio is greater than 50%, the corresponding transmission energy efficiency The level is Level 2; the expected resource scheduling ratio is greater than or equal to 80%, and the corresponding transmission energy efficiency level is Level 1.

table 3

It can be understood that from the third level to the first level, the lower limit of the expected resource scheduling ratio is gradually increased, indicating that the requirements of the terminal equipment for the resource scheduling ratio are also gradually increased. Among them, the third level indicates that the terminal equipment has no requirement for the resource scheduling ratio, and the first level indicates that the terminal equipment has a requirement for the resource scheduling ratio to reach more than 80%.

It should be noted that the expected resource scheduling ratio corresponding to the low-level transmission energy efficiency level may be greater than or equal to the expected resource scheduling ratio corresponding to the high-level transmission energy efficiency level.

In addition, the high-level transmission energy efficiency level can also be expressed by guaranteed energy (GE), and the low-level transmission energy efficiency level can also be expressed by non-guaranteed energy efficiency (Non-GE). For example, referring to Table 3, the third-level transmission energy efficiency level may be expressed as a non-energy efficiency guarantee, and the first-level transmission energy efficiency level may be expressed as an energy efficiency guarantee.

Optionally, the service level expected by the above-mentioned terminal device may correspond to a desired resource scheduling ratio.

Exemplarily, referring to Table 4, the service levels expected by the terminal device may correspond to different expected resource scheduling ratios. Among them, the service level is divided into two levels, ordinary users and platinum users. The expected resource scheduling ratio corresponding to ordinary users is greater than 0%, and the expected resource scheduling ratio corresponding to platinum users is greater than or equal to 80%.

Table 4

Exemplarily, referring to Table 5 below, it is assumed that the current resource scheduling ratio of the terminal device is 25%. If the expected resource scheduling ratio is 30%, the corresponding transmission energy efficiency adjustment is 20% (change rate) or 5% (change); if the expected resource scheduling ratio is 50%, the corresponding transmission energy efficiency adjustment is 100% (change rate) or 25% (change amount); if the expected resource scheduling ratio is 75%, the corresponding transmission energy efficiency adjustment amount is 200% (change rate) or 50% (change amount).

table 5

In this way, by sending the resource scheduling ratio to the access network device, the terminal device can request the access network device to change the allocated resources, so that the access network device can modify the resources allocated to the terminal device according to the request of the terminal device, thereby increasing the resources scheduling ratio. Moreover, in addition to sending the resource scheduling ratio to the access network device, the allocated resources requested by the terminal device to change the access network device may also include: scheduled resources, activated resources, and configured resources. Various ways in which the terminal equipment requests the access network equipment to determine the allocated resources according to the transmission energy efficiency information, so as to more flexibly improve the resource scheduling ratio of the terminal equipment, save the power consumption of the terminal equipment, and improve the quality of service for users, including reducing the time of packet transmission. delay, and/or, increase the packet transmission rate.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned "preferred (preferred or preference or expected or expected)" may be replaced by "target" or "recommended (Recommended)". The above "resource size (size)" may be replaced by "resource size", or by "resource number (number)", or by "resource length (length)", or by "bandwidth (bandwidth)" ". For example, taking the expression of resources in the long-term evolution and new air interface of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project as an example, for the frequency domain resources, the "resource size" can be expressed as "the number of RBs", and the transmission resources allocated to the terminal equipment can be expressed as For "the total number of RBs", the resource that the terminal device is activated, such as the size of the bandwidth part, can also be expressed as "the size of active BWP".

It can be understood that the above-mentioned expected resource scheduling ratio refers to the utilization rate of resources expected to be allocated by the terminal device. Since the "resource scheduling ratio" and "the utilization ratio of the allocated resources" can be replaced with each other, the above-mentioned expected resource scheduling ratio can also be interpreted as the expected utilization ratio of the allocated resources.

It can be understood that the above-mentioned transmission energy efficiency level expected by the terminal device may be used to indicate the proportion of the resources actually used by the terminal device to transmit data to the allocated resources. For example, the ratio of the size of the resources scheduled by the terminal device to the size of the resources activated by the terminal device, or the ratio of the size of the resources scheduled by the terminal device to the size of the resources configured by the terminal device. The transmission energy efficiency level expected by the terminal equipment can also be expressed as the service level expected by the terminal equipment, or the resource scheduling level expected by the terminal equipment. That is, the resource scheduling level, the service level and the transmission energy efficiency level can be replaced with each other.

It can also be understood that, in combination with the brief introduction of the above-mentioned technical term "resource scheduling ratio", it can be known that: if the resource scheduling ratio of the terminal device is adjusted, the size of the resource (scheduled resource) actually used for data transmission can be adjusted, and/ Or, the activated resource size, and/or, the configured resource size. For example, when the resource scheduling ratio of the terminal device needs to be increased, the size of the scheduled resources may be increased, and/or the size of the activated resources may be decreased, and or the size of the configured resources may be decreased.

The access network device may determine the resources allocated to the terminal device according to the acquired transmission energy efficiency information. In other words, the access network device may determine the resources allocated to the terminal device according to the acquired transmission energy efficiency information. Optionally, this can be achieved in the following ways:

Mode 1. When the transmission energy efficiency information is the expected resource scheduling ratio, the access network device can determine the size of one or more of the scheduled resources, activated resources, and configured resources of the terminal device according to the information, So that the actual resource scheduling ratio of the terminal equipment is consistent with the expected resource scheduling ratio. The match here can be understood as: the actual resource scheduling ratio of the terminal device may be greater than or equal to (or greater than) the expected resource scheduling ratio, or the difference between the resource scheduling ratio of the terminal device and the expected resource scheduling ratio may not exceed a predetermined It is set to a value (for example, 5%), which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

On the one hand, the access network device may determine, according to the expected resource scheduling ratio, that the ratio of the size of the resource scheduled by the terminal device to the size of the resource activated by the terminal device is greater than or equal to (or greater than) the expected resource scheduling ratio.

Continuing to take the above Table 2 as an example, in the application scenario shown in Table 2, the size of the currently activated resources of the terminal equipment is 324 RBs, the size of the resources currently scheduled by the terminal equipment is 101 RBs, and the expected resources of the terminal equipment are 101 RBs. The dispatch ratio is 100%. In order to achieve the purpose of the above aspect, the access network device may increase the size of the resources scheduled by the terminal equipment, or reduce the size of the resources activated by the terminal equipment, or both increase the size of the resources scheduled for the terminal equipment and reduce the size of the terminal equipment The size of the activated resources so that the resource scheduling ratio of the terminal device is 100%.

For example, the access network device may determine that the size of the resource scheduled for the terminal device BWP1_1 is 273 RBs. In other words, the access network device may determine that the size of the resource BWP1_1 scheduled to the terminal device is 273 RBs, so that the scheduled resource BWP1_1 has a size of 273 RBs. The ratio of the resource size to the activated resource size is 100%. Alternatively, it may also be determined that the size of the resource activated by the terminal device is 51 RBs, for example, BWP1_4 is activated.

For another example, when the technical solution of the present application is not implemented, a possible resource utilization situation of the terminal device is shown in Table 6. Among them, the terminal equipment is configured with 2 carriers, CC1 and CC2. It is assumed that CC1 is configured with 4 BWPs, including: BWP1_1, BWP1_2, BWP1_3, and BWP1_4, and CC2 is configured with 2 BWPs, including: BWP2_1 and BWP2_2. The carrier CC1 of the terminal device is activated, the carrier CC2 is not activated, the BWP of the activated carrier CC1 is BWP1_2, and the size of the scheduled resources of the BWP1_2 is 30RBs. At this time, the resource scheduling ratio of the terminal is 30/96=31.2%. The method for determining the resource scheduling ratio here is: the ratio of the size of the resources scheduled by the terminal device to the size of the resources activated by the terminal device.

Table 6

If the resource scheduling ratio expected by the terminal device is greater than or equal to 50%, in order to achieve the purpose of the above aspect, the access network device may increase the size of the resources scheduled by the terminal device, or reduce the size of the resources activated by the terminal device, Alternatively, the size of the resources to be scheduled by the terminal device is increased and the size of the resources to be activated by the terminal device is decreased, so that the resource scheduling ratio of the terminal device is greater than or equal to 50%.

Referring to Table 6, for example, the access network device may determine that the size of the resource scheduled for the terminal device in BWP1_1 is greater than or equal to 48 RBs, or in other words, the access network device may determine that the size of the resource BWP1_1 scheduled to the terminal device is 48 RBs, thereby Make the ratio of the size of the scheduled resource to the size of the activated resource greater than or equal to 50%. Alternatively, BWP1_3 is activated, and the size of BWP1_3 is 48RBs, and the size of the scheduled resources is 30RBs, so that the resource scheduling ratio is greater than or equal to 50%. Alternatively, activate BWP1_3 to reduce the size of the resources activated by the terminal equipment to 48RBs, and determine the size of the resources scheduled for the terminal equipment to be 40RBs, so that the resource scheduling ratio of the terminal equipment is greater than or equal to 50%.

On the other hand, the access network device may also determine, according to the expected resource scheduling ratio, that the ratio of the resource size scheduled by the terminal device to the resource size configured by the terminal device may be greater than or equal to the expected resource scheduling ratio.

Exemplarily, assuming that the currently configured resources of the terminal device are as described in Table 6, and the size of the scheduled resources is 30 RBs, at this time, the current resource scheduling ratio of the terminal device is 30/96=31.2% (the terminal device is scheduled The ratio of the resource size of the terminal device to the configured resource size of the terminal device). If the expected resource scheduling ratio of the terminal device is 50%, in order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of another aspect, the access network device may increase the size of the resources scheduled by the terminal device, or reduce the size of the resources configured by the terminal device, or, The size of the resources to be scheduled by the terminal device is increased and the size of the configured resources of the terminal device is reduced, so that the resource scheduling ratio of the terminal device is greater than or equal to 50%.

For example, the access network device may determine that the size of the resources scheduled by the terminal device is ≥48 RBs, so that the ratio of the size of the scheduled resources to the size of the configured resources is ≥50%. Correspondingly, it may also be determined that the size of the resources configured by the terminal device is ≤96 RBs, or it can be determined that the size of the resources scheduled by the terminal device is ≥48 RBs and the size of the resources configured by the terminal device is ≤96 RBs.

Wherein, if the configured resources of the terminal device are reduced to less than or equal to 96 RBs, the access network device can configure the bandwidth of CC1 to be less than or equal to 96 RBs, or configure the bandwidths of all BWPs of CC1 to be less than 96 RBs, such as BWP1_2 is resized to 95RB.

Manner 2: When the transmission energy efficiency information is the resource size expected by the terminal device to be scheduled, the access network device may determine the resource to be scheduled by the terminal device according to the information. For example, the difference between the size of the resources scheduled by the terminal device and the size of the resources expected to be scheduled by the terminal device may not exceed a preset value (such as 4 RBs), or, the size of the resources scheduled by the terminal device is greater than or equal to (or greater than or equal to) ) The size of the resource expected to be scheduled by the terminal device, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Specifically, the access network device may determine, according to the size of the resource expected to be scheduled by the terminal device, that the size of the resource scheduled by the terminal device may be greater than or equal to (or greater than) the size of the resource expected to be scheduled by the terminal device.

Exemplarily, if the size of the resources that the terminal device expects to be scheduled is 24 RBs, the access network device may determine that the size of the resources scheduled by the terminal device is ≥ 24 RBs, or in other words, the access network device may determine that the size of the scheduled resources is 24 RBs. The resource size for terminal equipment is ≥ 24 RBs.

Manner 3: When the transmission energy efficiency information is the resource size expected to be activated by the terminal device, the access network device may determine the activated resource of the terminal device according to the information. For example, the difference between the size of the resources activated by the terminal device and the size of the resources expected to be activated by the terminal device may differ by no more than a preset value (eg, 8 RBs), or the size of the resources activated by the terminal device may be less than or equal to (or less than or equal to) ) The size of the resource expected to be activated by the terminal device, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Specifically, the access network device may determine, according to the size of the resource expected to be activated by the terminal device, that the size of the resource to be activated by the terminal device may be less than or equal to (or smaller than) the size of the resource expected to be activated by the terminal device.

Exemplarily, if the size of the resources that the terminal device expects to be activated is 24 RBs, the access network device may determine that the size of the resources activated by the terminal device is less than or equal to 24 RBs, or in other words, the access network device may It is determined that the size of the resource activated to the terminal device is less than or equal to 24 RBs, for example, the bandwidth of the activated carrier is less than or equal to 24 RBs, or the bandwidth of the activated BWP is less than or equal to 24 RBs.

Manner 4: When the transmission energy efficiency information is the resource size expected to be configured by the terminal device, the access network device may determine the resource configured by the terminal device according to the information. For example, the difference between the resource size configured by the terminal device and the resource size expected to be configured by the terminal device may not exceed a preset value (such as 16 RBs), or, the resource size configured by the terminal device may be less than or equal to (or less than or equal to) ) The resource size expected to be configured by the terminal device, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Specifically, the access network device may determine, according to the resource size expected to be configured by the terminal device, that the resource size configured by the terminal device may be less than or equal to (or smaller than) the resource size expected to be configured by the terminal device.

Exemplarily, if the terminal device expects the configured resource size to be 24 RBs, the access network device may determine that the configured resource size of the terminal device is ≤ 24 RBs, or in other words, the access network device may determine the configuration The resource size for the terminal device is ≤ 24 RBs.

It should be noted that, with the changes of time, service and operating environment (such as channel environment), etc., the size of the resources actually used for transmitting data required by the terminal equipment will also change, so that through the above methods 1 to 4, the terminal equipment The access network equipment can be requested to change the allocated resources, so that the resources allocated by the terminal equipment meet the needs of the terminal equipment, so as to increase the ratio of the resources actually used for data transmission to the allocated resources, and improve the resource scheduling ratio of the terminal equipment. , save the power consumption of the terminal equipment, improve the user service quality, including reducing the packet transmission delay, and/or increasing the packet transmission rate.

It should be understood that, according to the above manners 1 to 4, according to the transmission energy efficiency information, the access network equipment can determine the resources allocated to the terminal equipment within an optional range. That is to say, the access network device can flexibly adjust the resources allocated to the terminal device in an optional range according to the current situation of the resources allocated to the terminal device and the situation of the remaining unallocated resources. In this way, the access network equipment can more flexibly adjust the resources allocated to the terminal equipment, thereby flexibly improving the resource scheduling ratio of the terminal equipment, saving the power consumption of the terminal equipment, improving the user service quality, including reducing the packet transmission delay, and /or, increase the packet transfer rate.

According to the above manners 1 to 4, it should be understood that the resources allocated to the terminal equipment determined by the above transmission energy efficiency information may include one or more of the following: resources scheduled by the terminal equipment, resources activated by the terminal equipment, or resources of the terminal equipment The resources the device is configured with.

In addition, it can be seen in combination with the above-mentioned modes 1 to 4 that the embodiments of the present application do not limit the types of resources. Therefore, in some possible implementations, the above-mentioned resources may include one or more of the following: frequency domain resources, Time domain resource, air domain resource, or code domain resource.

That is, the transmission energy efficiency information may be used to determine one or more of frequency domain resources, time domain resources, space domain resources, or code domain resources allocated to the terminal device. In other words, the access network device can determine various resources allocated to the terminal device according to the transmission energy efficiency information. In this way, a variety of ways for the terminal equipment to request the access network equipment to change the allocated resources can be provided, so as to flexibly improve the resource scheduling ratio of the terminal equipment, save the power consumption of the terminal equipment, and improve the user service quality, including reducing the time of packet transmission. delay, and/or, increase the packet transmission rate.

The frequency domain resource size can be represented by a resource block, and a resource block is: a frequency domain resource size counting unit in resource allocation. For example, a resource block may include a resource element (resource element, RE) of one subcarrier, or a resource block including resource elements of multiple (for example, 12) subcarriers, or a resource block group including multiple resource blocks ( resource block group, RBG), or include physical resource block pairs (physical RB pairs). In addition, the size of the frequency domain resource can also be expressed in Hertz. For example, the size of the frequency domain resource can be L MHz (L is greater than 0). For example, the size of the activated resource is 50 MHz, and the size of the scheduled resource is 20 MHz.

Further, when the access network device transmits the energy efficiency information, the terminal device activates the number of resource blocks in the partial bandwidth. The size of the resources scheduled by the terminal device may be: the number of resource blocks used for transmitting the data channel of the terminal device in the activated or configured part of the bandwidth of the terminal device. The resource size configured by the terminal device may be: the number of resource blocks in the partial bandwidth configured by the terminal device.

It can be understood that, based on the specific definition of the size of each resource of the terminal equipment, the access network equipment can determine the resource scheduling ratio of the terminal equipment according to the following formula:

R1= _{NscheduledRB/NactRB} _;

Alternatively, the access network device may determine the resource scheduling ratio in the frequency domain allocated to the terminal device according to the following formula:

R1= _{NscheduledRB/NconfigRB} _;

Among them, R1 is the resource scheduling ratio in the frequency domain allocated to the terminal device, N _scheduledRB is the number of resource blocks used to transmit the data channel of the terminal device in the activated or configured part of the bandwidth of the terminal device, and _NactRB is the The number of resource blocks in the activated partial bandwidth, and N _configRB is the number of resource blocks in the partial bandwidth configured by the terminal device. Correspondingly, when the terminal device generates the expected resource scheduling ratio, it can also be based on this formula.

Wherein, in a carrier aggregation (carrier aggregation, CA) scenario, the size of the resources activated by the terminal equipment may be: the sum of the number of resource blocks in the activated partial bandwidths in each aggregated activated carrier. The size of the resources scheduled by the terminal equipment may be: the sum of the number of resource blocks used for transmitting the data channel of the terminal equipment in the activated or configured partial bandwidth of each aggregated activated carrier.

Further, when the access network device determines the frequency domain resources and airspace resources allocated to the terminal device according to the transmission energy efficiency information, the size of the activated resources of the above-mentioned terminal device may be the number of the activated partial bandwidth resource blocks and the activated resource blocks. The product of the number of MIMO layers of the partial bandwidth, namely: N _actRB *N _actMIMO . Wherein, _NactRB may be the number of resource blocks in the activated partial bandwidth of the terminal device, that is, the bandwidth value of the activated partial bandwidth, and _NactMIMO may be the number of spatial layers corresponding to the activated partial bandwidth of the terminal device. The number of layers in the airspace corresponding to the activated partial bandwidth of the terminal device may refer to: the maximum number of MIMO layers for which the activated partial bandwidth of the terminal device is activated, or the maximum MIMO layer for which the activated partial bandwidth of the terminal device is configured. number.

The resource size configured by the terminal device may be the product of the number of resource blocks of the configured partial bandwidth and the number of MIMO layers of the configured partial bandwidth, ie: N _configRB *N _configMIMO . Wherein, N _configRB may be the number of resource blocks in the partial bandwidth configured by the terminal device, that is, the bandwidth value of the configured partial bandwidth, and N _configMIMO may be the number of layers of the airspace corresponding to the partial bandwidth configured by the terminal device. The number of layers in the airspace corresponding to the configured partial bandwidth of the terminal device may refer to: the maximum number of MIMO layers configured with the configured partial bandwidth of the terminal device.

The size of the scheduled resources of the above-mentioned terminal equipment may be the product of the number of scheduled resource blocks and the number of scheduled MIMO layers, ie: N _scheduledRB *N _{scheduledMIMO} . Wherein, N _scheduledRB may be the number of resource blocks used for transmitting terminal equipment data channels in the activated partial bandwidth of the terminal equipment, and N _{scheduledMIMO} may be the resources used for transmitting terminal equipment data channels in the activated partial bandwidth of the terminal equipment The number of layers in the space domain corresponding to the block, that is, the number of MIMO layers used when scheduling and transmitting the data channel of the terminal device. When one data channel carries multiple transport blocks, N _{scheduledMIMO} may be the maximum value among the number of MIMO layers corresponding to the multiple transport blocks on the data channel.

It can be understood that, based on the specific definition of the size of each resource of the terminal equipment, the access network equipment can determine the frequency domain resources allocated to the terminal equipment and the resource scheduling ratio of the air domain according to the following formula:

R2=(N _scheduledRB *N _{scheduledMIMO} )/(N _actRB *N _actMIMO );

Alternatively, the access network device may determine the frequency-domain resource and air-space resource scheduling ratio allocated to the terminal device according to the following formula:

R2=(N _scheduledRB *N _{scheduledMIMO} )/(N _configRB *N _configMIMO );

Among them, R2 is the resource scheduling ratio of the frequency domain resource and the air domain resource allocated to the terminal device. Correspondingly, when the terminal device generates the expected resource scheduling ratio, it can also be based on this formula.

If the concept of partial bandwidth is not introduced into the communication system, there is only the concept of carrier. Then the above-mentioned part of the bandwidth can be replaced by the carrier. That is: N _scheduledRB is the number of resource blocks used to transmit the data channel of the terminal device in the carrier on which the terminal device is activated or configured, _NactRB is the number of resource blocks in the carrier on which the terminal device is activated, and _NconfigRB is the terminal device. The number of resource blocks in the configured carrier.

Further, when the access network device determines the time domain resources allocated to the terminal device according to the transmission energy efficiency information, the size of the resource activated by the terminal device may be: the duration of the open data channel in the DRX cycle of the terminal device. Exemplarily, referring to FIG. 2 , the duration of the open data channel in the DRX cycle is the duration of the activation period and the total duration of the inactivity timer.

The size of the resource scheduled by the terminal device may be: the transmission duration used for data transmission in the DRX cycle of the terminal device. Exemplarily, referring to FIG. 2 , the transmission duration for data transmission in the DRX cycle is the total duration of the PDSCH transmission period and/or the PUSCH transmission period, and the duration of the PDCCH corresponding to the PDSCH and/or the PUSCH.

R3=t2/t1;

Wherein, R3 is the resource scheduling ratio in the time domain allocated to the terminal device, t1 is the duration of the data channel opening in the DRX cycle of the terminal device, and t2 is the transmission duration for data transmission in the DRX cycle of the terminal device. Correspondingly, when the terminal device generates the expected resource scheduling ratio, it can also be based on this formula.

It can be understood that the size of the activated resources and the size of the scheduled resources of the terminal device can be determined based on a certain period of time, so as to determine the resource scheduling ratio. For example, the duration for data transmission in the DRX cycle of the terminal device may be: the sum of the durations of data transmission in one or more DRX cycles of the terminal device. The open duration of the data transmission channel in the DRX cycle of the terminal device may be: the sum of the durations configured to open the data channel in one or more DRX cycles of the terminal device. The certain time here can be pre-determined by certain rules, for example, several seconds or several DRX cycles are pre-determined, or it can be determined by access network equipment, terminal equipment, or core network equipment and sent to other equipment for added flexibility.

Further, when the access network equipment determines the resources allocated to the terminal equipment according to the transmission energy efficiency information, the size of the resources activated by the terminal equipment may also be: the total amount of control channel monitoring periods in the DRX cycle of the terminal equipment. Exemplarily, referring to FIG. 2 , the total amount of monitoring periods is the total number of PDCCH monitoring periods within the activation period. The monitoring period here can be the monitoring time for the terminal equipment to monitor the control channel (such as PDCCH) to obtain the control signaling.

The size of the resources scheduled by the terminal equipment may also be: the number of monitoring periods in which effective control channels are detected in the DRX cycle of the terminal equipment. Exemplarily, referring to FIG. 2 , the number of monitoring periods in which valid control channels are detected may be: the total number of monitoring periods in which valid PDCCHs are detected. Wherein, the above-mentioned control channel may be: a physical downlink control channel. The above-mentioned effective control channel may be: a channel carrying the control signaling sent to the above-mentioned terminal equipment. Wherein, the control signaling sent to the terminal equipment may be: dedicated signaling sent to the terminal equipment, and/or broadcast signaling or multicast signaling sent to all a group of terminal equipment.

Correspondingly, when the terminal device generates the expected resource scheduling ratio, it can also be based on this formula.

It can be understood that the size of the activated resources and the size of the scheduled resources of the terminal device can be determined based on a certain period of time, so as to determine the resource scheduling ratio. For example, the total amount of control channel monitoring periods in the DRX cycle of the terminal device may be: the total amount of control channel monitoring periods for data transmission in one or more DRX cycles of the terminal device. The number of monitoring periods in which valid control channels are detected in the DRX cycle of the terminal device may be: the number of monitoring periods in which valid control channels are detected in one or more DRX cycles of the terminal device. The certain time here can be pre-determined by certain rules, for example, several seconds or several DRX cycles are pre-determined, or it can be determined by access network equipment, terminal equipment, or core network equipment and sent to other equipment for added flexibility.

In addition, since the number of monitoring periods in which a valid control channel is not detected in the DRX cycle of the terminal device is: the total amount of control channel monitoring periods in the discontinuous reception cycle of the terminal device minus the number of monitoring periods in which a valid control channel is detected , therefore, the size of the resource activated by the terminal device may also be: the number of monitoring periods in which no valid control channel is detected in the DRX cycle of the terminal device. Exemplarily, referring to FIG. 2 , the number of monitoring periods in which a valid control channel is not detected is: the total number of monitoring periods in which the terminal device does not detect a valid PDCCH.

The valid PDCCH here may refer to a channel that bears control signaling sent to the terminal device. The control signaling sent to the terminal equipment may be: dedicated signaling sent to the terminal equipment, and/or broadcast signaling or multicast signaling sent to all or a group of terminal equipment. If the valid PDCCH includes the PDCCH carrying the dedicated signaling sent to the terminal equipment, the influence of receiving broadcast or multicast messages on the terminal equipment scheduling can be ignored, so that R4 can more accurately reflect the unique resource scheduling ratio of the terminal equipment. If the valid PDCCH includes the PDCCH carrying the dedicated signaling sent to the terminal equipment and the PDCCH carrying the multicast/broadcast signaling sent to the terminal equipment, then R4 can reflect the total resource scheduling ratio of the terminal equipment. In practical applications, it is possible to flexibly select which control signaling channel the effective PDCCH is to carry according to the actual situation.

The above monitoring period may be the monitoring period of the terminal device in the dedicated search space, but does not include the monitoring period of the public search space. In some application scenarios, the above monitoring period may also include the monitoring period of the public search space. In practical applications, it can be flexibly determined whether the monitoring period includes the monitoring period of the public search space according to the actual situation.

If the valid PDCCH includes the PDCCH carrying the dedicated signaling sent to the terminal device, preferably, the monitoring period does not include the monitoring period of the common search space. If the valid PDCCH includes the PDCCH carrying the dedicated signaling sent to the terminal equipment and the PDCCH carrying the multicast/broadcast signaling sent to the terminal equipment, then preferably, the monitoring period includes the monitoring period of the dedicated search space and the monitoring period of the public search space. monitoring period. In this way, R4 can more accurately characterize the resource scheduling ratio of the terminal device.

It is energy efficient (ie, the transmission energy efficiency is high energy efficiency). For another example, it is determined that the transmission energy efficiency level expected by the terminal device corresponding to the carrier in frequency range 1 is low energy efficiency, or the transmission energy efficiency level expected by the terminal device corresponding to frequency range 2 is determined to be high energy efficiency.

The terminal equipment can also determine the transmission energy efficiency according to the type of the transmission link. For example, the expected resource scheduling ratio of the downlink is determined to be 100%, or the expected resource scheduling ratio of the uplink is determined to be 50%.

Further, the terminal device may also determine the expected scheduling ratio according to the current resource scheduling ratio. For example, the terminal device can count the first average value of the size of the resources activated within 5 minutes and the second average value of the size of the scheduled resources, and then determine the ratio of the first average value to the second average value as the current resource of the terminal device Scheduling ratio, and finally determine the expected resource scheduling ratio based on the current resource scheduling ratio and reference information (type of terminal equipment, operating status of terminal equipment, user subscription information of terminal equipment, services of terminal equipment, etc.). That is to say, when the terminal device generates the transmission energy efficiency information, the expected resource scheduling ratio can be determined by calculating the average value of the allocated resource sizes in the time period.

Correspondingly, the above-mentioned statistical time period may be determined between the terminal device, the access network device, and the core network device through a predefined rule, or through negotiation.

S502, the access network device determines scheduling information according to the transmission energy efficiency information.

The scheduling information may be used to indicate the resources allocated to the terminal device. Include one or more of scheduled resources, activated resources, and configured resources. The above-mentioned resources include one or more of frequency domain resources, time domain resources, space domain resources, or code domain resources. The transmission energy efficiency information may be used to determine one or more of frequency domain resources, time domain resources, air domain resources, or code domain resources allocated to the terminal device. In other words, the access network device can determine various resources allocated to the terminal device according to the transmission energy efficiency information. In this way, a variety of ways for the terminal equipment to request the access network equipment to change the allocated resources can be provided, so as to flexibly improve the resource scheduling ratio of the terminal equipment, save the power consumption of the terminal equipment, and improve the user service quality, including reducing the time of packet transmission. delay, and/or, increase the packet transmission rate.

The scheduling information may be various signalings of the access network equipment in the process of allocating resources to the terminal equipment, and may be used to indicate the resources determined by the transmission energy efficiency information. For example, downlink control signaling or uplink control signaling carried in the PDCCH.

The access network device determines scheduling information according to the transmission energy efficiency information, wherein a specific implementation method includes: the access network device determines at least one of the scheduled resource size, the activated resource size, and the configured resource size of the terminal device according to the transmission energy efficiency information One. For specific implementation methods, reference may be made to various methods included in "Determining the resources allocated to the terminal device according to the transmission energy efficiency information" in S401.

Exemplarily, continuing to refer to Table 6, taking the resources as frequency domain resources as an example, if the expected resource scheduling ratio is 50% and the current resource scheduling ratio of the terminal device is 31%, in order to make the resource scheduling ratio of the terminal device ≥ expected For the resource scheduling ratio, the access network device can determine that the size of the resources scheduled by the terminal device is 48 RBs, and generate corresponding scheduling information, where the scheduling information is the frequency domain resource size of the data channel. For another example, take the resource as an airspace resource and the transmission energy efficiency information as the size of the resource expected to be activated. If the size of the resource expected to be activated is 2 (that is, the number of MIMO layers expected to be activated is 2), and the size of the resource currently activated by the terminal device is 4 (that is, the number of MIMO layers currently activated is 4), then the access network The device may determine that the size of the activated resource is 2, that is, determine that the number of layers of the current BWP is 2, and generate corresponding scheduling information, where the scheduling information is the number of MIMO layers configured for the BWP.

For another example, take the resource as a time domain resource as an example. If the expected resource scheduling ratio is 50%, that is, the expected time-domain resource scheduling ratio is 50%, and the current time-domain resource scheduling ratio is 25%, the access network device can use the above formula R3=t2/t1 , adjust the DRX parameters, such as reducing the duration of the on duration timer, reducing the duration of the Inactivity Timer, and increasing the DRX cycle length, so as to achieve a time-domain resource scheduling ratio greater than or equal to 50%, and generate corresponding scheduling information, which is the configuration of DRX parameter.

S503, the access network device sends scheduling information to the terminal device, and the terminal device receives the scheduling information from the access network device.

In some possible implementations, the access network device may also obtain transmission energy efficiency information through the core network device. Specifically, please refer to FIG. 6 .

As shown in Figure 6, the communication method includes the following steps:

S601, the terminal device sends transmission energy efficiency information to the core network device, and the core network device receives the transmission energy efficiency information from the terminal device.

For example, in the process of establishing a PDU Session, the terminal device can send the transmission energy efficiency information to the core network device through the corresponding interface with the core network device and indicate 5QI or QCI through the QoS parameter.

In addition, the terminal device may also send subscription information of the user to the core network device.

S602, the core network device determines the transmission energy efficiency information of the terminal device.

Optionally, the above-mentioned core network device determining the transmission energy efficiency information of the terminal device may include one or more of the following implementations:

Mode 1: Receive transmission energy efficiency information from a terminal device.

Mode 2: Determine the transmission energy efficiency information according to the subscription information of the terminal device. Exemplarily, the transmission energy efficiency information can be determined by referring to the correspondence between the subscription information and the expected resource scheduling ratio shown in Table 11 above. For the specific implementation manner, reference may be made to the description in Table 11, which will not be repeated here.

It can be understood that, in combination with the above S601 and S603, the access network device can receive the transmission energy efficiency information from the terminal device, or can receive the transmission energy efficiency information from the core network device. In other words, the access network device can obtain the terminal device. transmission energy efficiency information. Therefore, in some possible implementation manners, the above-mentioned acquiring the transmission energy efficiency information of the terminal device may include: acquiring the transmission energy efficiency information of the terminal device from the terminal device or the core network device.

It should be understood that in S602 method 1, when the core network receives the transmission energy efficiency from the terminal device, since the transmission energy efficiency information can be carried in the non-access stratum signaling, at this time, the access network device cannot directly receive the transmission energy efficiency from the non-access stratum signaling. The transmission energy efficiency of the terminal device is obtained in the order. Therefore, through the above S603, the situation that the access network device cannot obtain the transmission energy efficiency information can be avoided. In addition, the core network device can also determine the transmission energy efficiency information of the terminal device according to the subscription information of the terminal device, that is, the above-mentioned method 2 of S602, and send the transmission energy efficiency information to the access network device accordingly to determine the resources allocated to the terminal device.

S604, the access network device determines scheduling information according to the transmission energy efficiency information.

It can be understood that for S604, reference may be made to the above-mentioned S502, and details are not repeated here.

S605, the access network device sends scheduling information to the terminal device, and the terminal device receives the scheduling information from the access network device.

It can be understood that for S605, reference may be made to the above-mentioned S503, and details are not repeated here.

In some possible implementations, after receiving the scheduling information from the access network device, the terminal device can use the resources indicated by the scheduling information according to the scheduling information, so that the terminal device can request the access network device to transmit the energy efficiency information according to the information. The resources allocated to the terminal equipment are determined to increase the ratio of the resources actually used for data transmission to the allocated resources.

Based on the method shown in FIG. 6 , even if the access network device receives the transmission energy efficiency information from the terminal device, it does not parse the information but forwards the information to the core network device, or the access network device does not receive the transmission from the terminal device. Energy efficiency information, the information can also be sent by the core network device to the access network device, so that the access network device can effectively obtain the transmission energy efficiency information.
