具体实施方式
下面结合说明书附图对本申请实施例做详细描述。
本申请提供的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统,例如:可以应用于第四代(4th generation,4G)通信系统,例如LTE,也可以应用于第五代(5th generation,5G)通信系统,例如NR系统,或应用于5G之后演进的各种通信系统,例如,第六代(6th generation, 6G)通信系统。
本申请实施例提供的方法和装置是基于同一或相似技术构思的,由于方法及装置解决问题的原理相似,因此装置与方法的实施可以相互参见,重复之处不再赘述。
本申请实施例中涉及的终端设备,可以是指向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备,或具有无线连接功能的移动设备、或连接到无线调制解调器的其他处理设备。
终端设备,又称之为用户设备(user equipment,UE)、移动台(mobile station,MS)、移动终端(mobile terminal,MT)等。终端设备是包括无线通信功能(向用户提供语音/数据连通性)的设备。例如,具有无线连接功能的手持式设备、或车载设备等。目前,一些终端设备的举例为:手机(mobile phone)、卫星电话、蜂窝电话、平板电脑、笔记本电脑、掌上电脑、移动互联网设备(mobile internet device,MID)、客户终端设备(customer-premises equipment,CPE)、智能销售点(point of sale,POS)机、可穿戴设备,无人机、高空飞机上搭载的通信设备、虚拟现实(virtual reality,VR)设备、增强现实(augmented reality,AR)设备、工业控制(industrial control)中的无线终端、车联网(vehicle-to-everything,V2X)中的无线终端、无人驾驶(self driving)中的无线终端、远程手术(remote medical surgery)中的无线终端、智能电网(smart grid)中的无线终端、运输安全(transportation safety)中的无线终端、智慧城市(smart city)中的无线终端、或智慧家庭(smart home)中的无线终端,或5G之后演进的通信系统的终端等。例如,车联网中的无线终端可以为车载设备、整车设备、车载模块、车辆等。工业控制中的无线终端可以为摄像头、机器人等。智慧家庭中的无线终端可以为电视、空调、扫地机、音箱、机顶盒等。
本申请实施例中涉及的网络设备,可以为无线网络中的设备。例如,网络设备可以是部署在无线接入网中为终端设备提供无线通信功能的设备。例如,网络设备可以为将终端设备接入到无线网络的无线接入网(radio access network,RAN)节点,又可以称为接入网设备。本申请实施例中的网络设备可以为4G系统中的演进型节点B(evolved Node B,eNB),可以为5G系统中的下一代基站(next generation NodeB,gNB),还可以为6G系统中的基站,或者5G之后演进的其他系统中的基站。具体的,网络设备包括但不限于:演进型节点B(evolved Node B,eNB)、家庭基站(例如,home evolved NodeB,或home Node B,HNB)、基带单元(baseband unit,BBU)、无线中继节点、无线回传节点、传输点(transmission point,TP)或者传输接收点(transmission reception point,TRP);或者,5G移动通信系统中的基站的一个或一组(包括多个天线面板)天线面板;或者,网络设备还可以为构成gNB或传输点的网络节点。例如,BBU,或,分布式单元(distributed unit,DU)等。
在一些部署中,gNB可以包括集中式单元(centralized unit,CU)和DU。gNB还可以包括有源天线单元(active antenna unit,AAU)。CU实现gNB的部分功能,DU实现gNB的部分功能。例如,CU负责处理非实时协议和服务,实现无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC),分组数据汇聚层协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)层的功能。DU负责处理物理层协议和实时服务,实现无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)层、MAC层和物理(physical,PHY)层的功能。AAU实现部分物理层处理功能、射频处理及有源天线的相关功能。RRC层的信息最终会变成PHY层的信息,或者,由PHY层的信息转变而来。因此在该架构下,高层信令(如RRC层信令)也可以认为是由DU发送的,或 者,由DU和AAU发送的。可以理解的是,网络设备可以为包括CU节点、DU节点、AAU节点中一个或多个的设备。此外,可以将CU划分为RAN中的网络设备,也可以将CU划分为核心网(core network,CN)中的网络设备,本申请对此不做限定。
本申请适用于双连接(dual connectivity,DC)场景或者独立组网(stand alone,SA)场景。在SA场景中,可以是5G中的NR系统单独组网,也可以是6G系统单独组网。
如图1所示,示出了适用于本申请实施例的一种双连接的网络架构示意图。在双连接场景中,终端设备可以与两个不同或相同制式的网络设备进行连接,这两个网络设备可以属于同一个核心网。图1中,以终端设备同时与第一网络设备和第二网络设备建立连接为例。其中,第一网络设备可以为4G中的网络设备,也可以为5G中的网络设备,还可以为6G中的网络设备;同样的,第二网络设备可以为4G中的网络设备,也可以为5G中的网络设备,还可以为6G中的网络设备。
在实际应用中,终端设备同时与5G中的网络设备以及4G中的网络设备建立连接时,可以是5G中的网络设备作为主站,4G中的网络设备作为辅站,也可以是4G中的网络设备作为主站,5G中的网络设备作为辅站。同样的,终端设备同时与5G中的网络设备以及6G中的网络设备建立连接时,可以是5G中的网络设备作为主站,6G中的网络设备作为辅站,也可以是6G中的网络设备作为主站,5G中的网络设备作为辅站。其他情况以此类推,不再赘述。
如图2所示,示出了适用于本申请实施例的一种独立组网的网络架构示意图。在独立组网的场景中,终端设备与一个网络设备连接,终端设备所连接的网络设备,以及网络设备所连接的核心网为相同制式。比如核心网为5G核心网,那么网络设备为5G网络设备;或者核心网为6G核心网,那么网络设备为6G网络设备。
本申请中,网络设备可以存在至少两种工作状态:休眠状态和激活状态。休眠状态也可以称为去激活状态。激活状态也可以是指网络设备正常工作的状态,网络设备处于激活状态时,网络设备的发射机和接收机处于工作状态,具体的,网络设备的射频单元、中频单元、基带处理单元等均处于正常工作状态,此时,网络设备可以执行下行发送或者上行接收操作。
网络设备处于休眠状态时,网络设备将小区设置为去激活状态,网络设备的发射机和/或接收机处于关闭状态,具体的,网络设备将射频单元、中频单元、基带处理单元中的一项或者多项设置关闭状态,相应的,网络设备无法发送和/或接收信号。其中,小区去激活也可以用小区关断或休眠等类似的术语来替代。
网络设备的小区激活/去激活时,需要通过网络设备间的接口与其他网络设备交互该信息。网络设备间的接口可以是通过Xn/X2口或者6G中可能出现的其他接口,本申请不作限定。以图1为例,当第一网络设备的小区激活/去激活时,第一网络设备通过Xn口向第二网络设备发送节点配置更新消息,其中包含小区激活/去激活指示。
目前,网络设备将小区去激活之后,需要通过定时方式重新激活或者通过相邻的网络设备进行激活,激活的方式比较单一,不能适应终端设备对网络的需求。为此,本申请提供一种方法,可以使得网络设备在接收到来自终端设备的消息时,实现激活或者转换为激活状态,下面将详细描述。
本申请实施例中涉及的多个,是指两个或两个以上。“和/或”,描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B, 单独存在B这三种情况。字符“/”一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。另外,需要理解的是,在本申请的描述中,“第一”、“第二”等词汇,仅用于区分描述的目的,而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性,也不能理解为指示或暗示顺序。
本申请实施例描述的网络架构以及业务场景是为了更加清楚的说明本申请实施例的技术方案,并不构成对于本申请实施例提供的技术方案的限定,本领域普通技术人员可知,随着网络架构的演变和新业务场景的出现,本申请实施例提供的技术方案对于类似的技术问题,同样适用。
如图3所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种设备唤醒方法的交互示意图,该方法以终端设备与网络设备之间的交互为例进行说明,该方法包括:
S301:网络设备向终端设备发送第一消息的配置信息,相应的,终端设备接收该第一消息的配置信息。
其中,S301为可选步骤,如果该配置信息为预先约定的,那么网络设备可以不发送该配置信息。
该配置信息可以用于配置第一消息的以下至少一项信息:第一消息的属性信息;第一消息与业务的关联关系;第一消息与网络设备的启动模式的关联关系。
本申请中,第一消息也可以存在其他名称,例如激活消息或者开机消息等。第一种实现方式中,第一消息可以为唤醒消息,即第一消息为专门用于唤醒网络设备的消息,或者用于触发网络设备进入工作状态的消息。
在第一种实现方式中,终端设备在接入网络设备之前,通过发送第一消息将网络设备从休眠状态唤醒,从而可以通过随机接入过程接入网络设备。
第二种实现方式中,第一消息可以为随机接入过程中的随机接入请求消息,例如随机接入请求消息可以是消息1或消息A。其中,四步随机接入过程中,终端设备发送的随机接入前导码(preamble)称为消息1;两步随机接入过程中,将原来四步随机接入过程中的随机接入前导码(即消息1)和调度传输消息(即消息3)合并为消息A。
在第二种实现方式中,通过将随机接入过程中的消息1或消息A作为第一消息,可以通过更少的消息实现唤醒网络设备以及接入网络设备,提高终端设备接入网络设备的速度。
本申请中,第一消息的属性信息包括以下至少一项信息:时域资源;频域资源;码字;正交序列;序列长度;序列格式;发射功率;功率系数。
其中,时域资源,是指第一消息的发送周期、无线帧、子帧、时隙、符号中的至少一项。频域资源,可以是指第一消息的资源块个数、资源块位置、子载波、部分带宽(bandwidth part,BWP)、带宽中的至少一项。码字是指第一消息采用的正交码或者准正交码,例如码字可以为叠加正交码(orthogonal cover code,OCC)。正交序列是指第一消息采用的正交或者准正交的序列,例如ZadoffChu(ZC)序列。序列长度是指第一消息采用的正交序列的长度。序列格式,可以是指第一消息包括的序列的格式,例如网络预定义多种序列格式,不同的序列格式具有不同的序列长度和/或序列重复次数。发射功率,可以是指终端设备发送第一消息时的发射功率。功率系数,终端设备发送第一消息时,需要采用该功率系数与发射功率相乘,获得最终发送第一消息时实际的发射功率。
本申请实施例中,两个第一消息的属性信息不同,那么这两个第一消息可以是不同类型的消息。例如,一个第一消息的频域资源和另一个第一消息的频域资源不同,那么这两个第一消息是不同类型的第一消息;再例如,一个第一消息的序列格式和另一个第一消息 的序列格式不同,那么这两个第一消息是不同类型的第一消息,为了区分不同类型的第一消息,可以将其中一个第一消息称为第一类型消息,将另一个第一消息称为第二类型消息,其他情况可以以此类推。
其中,第一消息与业务的关联关系,可以是指:第一消息的属性信息与终端设备的业务的以下至少一项信息存在关联关系:业务类型;业务服务质量(quality of service,QoS);业务服务质量标识,业务服务质量标识用于表征业务的服务质量;业务时延,例如业务时延可以为包时延(packet delay),或者数据包的端到端时延,或者数据包的空口时延;业务速率;业务误包率(packet error rate);业务覆盖。
本申请中,不同的服务质量标识,可以对应不同的业务时延以及误包率。举例来说,服务质量标识、业务时延以及误包率的对应关系可以如表1所示。
表1
本申请中,也可以预先约定第一消息与业务的关联关系,如果该关联关系为预先约定的,则可以不通过配置信息配置。第一消息与业务的关联关系的具体内容,将在后面详细描述。
本申请中,网络设备可以配置多个不同类型的第一消息,或者协议约定多个不同类型的第一消息,每个不同类型的第一消息可以关联一个网络设备的启动模式。举例来说,网络设备的启动模式可以包括常规启动模式、快速启动模式、全带宽启动模式以及窄带宽启动模式等。其中,常规启动模式是指网络设备启动激活时,按照正常启动流程启动网络设备,例如正常启动流程可以包括如下几个步骤:1.完成初始化操作,包括但不限于主控板、单板的初始化操作;2.单板、传输、时钟配置操作;3.与网管、上层网元建立连接;4.系统一致性核查,即校准;5.参数配置,包括配置小区的带宽大小、小区的频点等参数;6.小区激活。快速启动模式是指网络设备启动激活时,不执行部分操作,如跳过主控板、单板的初始化操作,和/或跳过系统一致性核查,进而减少启动时间,更快的进入激活/工作状态。全带宽启动模式是指网络设备启动激活时,可以激活全频带,工作在全频带;窄带宽启动模式是指网络设备启动激活时,可以激活部分频带,即激活一个比较窄的带宽,工作在窄带宽。
可选地,一种实现方式中,网络设备发送第一消息的配置信息之前,终端设备可以向网络设备发送能力信息,当该能力信息用于指示终端设备具有发送与终端设备的业务存在关联关系、且用于唤醒网络设备的消息的能力。
如果配置信息中不包括上述任一信息,则该信息可以为预先约定的或协议规定的,网络设备可以不通过配置信息配置该信息。例如,第一消息的频域资源为预先约定的,那么该配置信息中可以不配置第一消息的频域资源。又例如,第一消息的序列格式为预先约定的,那么该配置信息中可以不配置第一消息的序列格式。
本申请中,如果两个业务关联的第一消息不同,那么这两个第一消息的属性信息不同, 即这两个第一消息时域资源、频域资源、码字、正交序列、序列长度、序列格式、发射功率以及功率系数中的至少一项不同。
举例来说,两个第一消息的时域资源不同,可以是指这两个第一消息的发送周期、无线帧、子帧、时隙、符号中的至少一项不同。两个第一消息的频域资源不同,可以是指这两个第一消息的资源块个数、资源块位置、子载波、部分带宽、带宽中的至少一项不同。码字指正交码或者准正交码,两个第一消息的码字不同,可以是指两个第一消息可以通过采用不同的OCC序列生成;两个第一消息的序列不同,可以是指两个第一消息采用不同的正交或者准正交序列,例如第一消息根据ZC序列生成,两个第一消息采用的序列可以为在根序列的基础上通过不同循环移位生成的相互正交的序列;两个第一消息的序列长度不同,可以是指两个第一消息包括不同长度的序列;两个第一消息的序列格式不同,可以是指两个第一消息包括不同格式的序列,例如第一消息根据ZC序列生成,两个第一消息包括的序列长度不同,或者两个第一消息包括的序列重复次数不同;两个第一消息的发射功率不同,可以是指网络设备为这两个第一消息配置的发射功率不同;两个第一消息的功率系数不同,可以是指网络设备为这两个第一消息配置的功率系数不同,例如一个第一消息的功率系数为1,另一个第一消息的功率系数为0.8。
进一步的,如果网络设备向终端设备配置第一消息与业务的关联关系,那么网络设备可以通过以下任一方式进行配置:
方式一:网络设备通过广播消息向终端设备发送包括第一消息与业务的关联关系的配置信息。
该广播消息可以为系统消息。进一步的,该系统消息可以是专门用于指示网络节能相关配置的消息,或者该系统消息可以为已有的系统消息,如系统信息块1(system information block 1,SIB1)。
方式二:网络设备通过单播消息向终端设备发送包括第一消息与业务的关联关系的配置信息。
该单播消息可以为高层信令,高层信令包括但不限于RRC消息、媒体接入控制(media access control,MAC)控制元素(control element,CE);该单播消息还可以为物理层信令,例如下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)。
方式三:网络设备通过其相邻的网络设备向终端设备发送包括第一消息与业务的关联关系的配置信息。
网络设备可以通过站间接口向其相邻的网络设备发送消息,该消息包括该配置信息,该消息的具体名称并不限定。站间接口可以是Xn、X2或者6G网络中定义的其它名称的接口。举例来说,第一种可能的实现方式中,网络设备通过站间接口向其相邻的网络设备发送RAN节点配置更新消息,该RAN节点配置更新消息包括该配置信息。
第二种可能的实现方式中,如果网络设备将切换到休眠状态,网络设备可以向其相邻的网络设备发送关闭请求消息,此时,关闭请求消息可以包括第一消息的配置信息。可选的,如果网络设备接收到其相邻的网络设备的关闭拒绝消息,则可以不切换到休眠状态。
以上只是仅作为示例列出,不排除网络设备通过其它可能的实现方式向终端设备发送配置信息。
网络设备发送配置信息之后,可能进入休眠状态。如果网络设备进入休眠状态,终端设备可以根据配置信息向网络设备发送第一消息,从而唤醒网络设备,具体可以参考下面 的流程。
S302:终端设备向网络设备发送第一消息;相应的,网络设备接收来自终端设备的第一消息。
其中,终端设备发送第一消息之前,网络设备处于休眠态,或者网络设备的小区为去激活小区。相应的,第一消息用于唤醒网络设备,第一消息与终端设备的业务关联。
可选地,一种可能的实现方式中,当终端设备有业务需求时,在满足以下任一条件时,通过发送第一消息唤醒网络设备:
条件1:终端设备没有检测到网络设备的信号,例如没有检测到网络设备的广播信号和/或同步信号;
条件2:终端设备的接收信号质量低于门限值,可选的,该门限值可以是预定义的,或者是终端设备所接入的网络设备所配置的,也可以是终端设备自主确定的;

条件4:终端设备当前接入的网络设备不满足终端设备的业务需求,如终端设备的业务需求为高速率高宽带业务,终端设备接入的网络设备仅能提供低速率传输。
本申请中,终端设备可以根据业务的以下至少一项信息确定相应的第一消息:业务类型;业务服务质量;业务服务质量标识;业务时延;业务速率;业务误包率;业务覆盖。
本申请中,业务类型可以包括但不限于:增强移动宽带(enhanced mobile broadband,eMBB)业务,超高可靠低时延(ultra-high reliability and low latency,URLLC)业务,大规模机器类通信(massive machine-type communication,mMTC)业务,上行超带宽业务,宽带实时交互业务,通信感知融合业务,V2X业务,AR业务等。
当第一消息与业务的业务类型关联时,一个第一消息可以与一个或者多个业务类型关联。可选的,也可以是一个业务类型关联多个不同的第一消息。相应的,终端设备发送的第一消息,为与终端设备的业务的业务类型关联的第一消息。
举例来说,多个不同的第一消息分别为第一类型消息至第七类型消息,其关联的业务类型可以如表2所示。
表2
其中,eMBB业务、URLLC业务、mMTC业务以及V2X业务均分别关联一个第一消息;上行超宽带和宽带实时交互业务关联同一个第一消息;通信感知融合业务关联两个第一消息。
结合表2,当终端设备的业务的业务类型为eMBB时,终端设备可以发送第一类型消息;当终端设备的业务的业务类型为URLLC时,终端设备可以发送第二类型消息。
当第一消息与业务的业务服务质量标识关联时,一个第一消息可以与一个或多个业务服务质量标识关联。其中,业务服务质量标识可以为QoS分类识别码(QoS class identifier,QCI)、5G QoS指示符(5G QoS identifier,5QI)以及6G QoS指示符等可以表征服务质量的标识。
一种可能的实现方式中,一个第一消息可以关联一个业务服务质量标识区间,该业务服务质量标识区间可以包括一个或多个业务服务质量标识。相应的,终端设备向网络设备发送的第一消息关联的业务服务质量标识区间,包括终端设备的业务的业务服务质量标识。

结合表3,当业务的业务服务质量标识为3时,终端设备可以发送第一类型消息;当业务的业务服务质量标识为8时,终端设备可以发送第二类型消息。
另一种可能的实现方式中,一个第一消息可以关联N个业务服务质量标识,N为大于0的整数。相应的,终端设备向网络设备发送的第一消息关联的N个业务服务质量标识,包括终端设备的业务的业务服务质量标识。即终端设备的业务的业务服务质量标识,为终端设备发送的第一消息关联的N个业务服务质量标识中的一个。
举例来说,业务服务质量标识为5QI,多个不同属性信息第一消息分别为第一类型消息和第二类型消息,其关联的业务服务质量标识区间可以如表4所示。
表4
结合表4,当业务的业务服务质量标识为3时,终端设备可以发送第一类型消息;当业务的业务服务质量标识为8时,终端设备可以发送第二类型消息。
当第一消息与业务的业务速率关联时,一种可能的实现方式中,一个第一消息可以与一个业务速率区间关联。相应的,终端设备向网络设备发送的第一消息关联的业务速率区间,包括终端设备的业务的业务速率。即终端设备的业务的业务速率,为终端设备发送的第一消息关联的业务速率区间中的一个。
举例来说,多个不同属性信息第一消息分别为第一类型消息和第二类型消息,其关联的业务速率区间可以如表5所示。
表5
结合表5,当业务的业务速率为50Kbps时,终端设备可以发送第一类型消息;当业务的业务速率为2Mbps时,终端设备可以发送第二类型消息。
当第一消息与业务的业务误包率关联时,一种可能的实现方式中,一个第一消息可以 与一个业务误包率区间关联。相应的,终端设备向网络设备发送的第一消息关联的业务误包率区间,包括终端设备的业务的业务误包率。即终端设备的业务的业务误包率,为终端设备发送的第一消息关联的业务误包率区间中的一个。
举例来说,多个不同属性信息第一消息分别为第一类型消息和第二类型消息,其关联的业务误包率区间可以如表6所示。
表6
结合表6,当业务的业务误包率为10-3时,终端设备可以发送第一类型消息;当业务的业务误包率为10-6时,终端设备可以发送第二类型消息。
不同业务覆盖可能对应不同的接收信号质量,当第一消息与业务的业务覆盖关联时,一种可能的实现方式中,一个第一消息可以与一个接收信号质量区间关联。相应的,终端设备向网络设备发送的第一消息关联的接收信号质量区间,包括终端设备的业务的业务覆盖对应的接收信号质量。即终端设备的业务的业务覆盖对应的接收信号质量,为终端设备发送的第一消息关联的接收信号质量区间中的一个。
举例来说,多个不同属性信息第一消息分别为第一类型消息和第二类型消息,其关联的接收信号质量区间可以如表7所示。
表7
结合表7,当业务的接收信号质量为10-3dB时,终端设备可以发送第一类型消息;当业务的接收信号质量为10-6dB时,终端设备可以发送第二类型消息。
当第一消息与业务的业务时延关联时,一种可能的实现方式中,一个第一消息可以与一个时延区间关联。相应的,终端设备向网络设备发送的第一消息关联的时延区间,包括终端设备的业务的业务时延。即终端设备的业务的业务时延,为终端设备发送的第一消息关联的时延区间中的一个。
举例来说,多个不同属性信息第一消息分别为第一类型消息和第二类型消息,其关联的时延区间可以如表8所示。
表8
结合表8,当业务的业务时延为5ms时,终端设备可以发送第一类型消息;当业务的业务时延为50ms时,终端设备可以发送第二类型消息。
上面的例子中,以第一消息与业务的业务类型、业务服务质量标识、业务时延、业务速率、业务误包率以及业务覆盖中的一项关联为例进行说明,第一消息也可以与业务的多项信息关联,例如,第一消息与业务时延以及误包率的对应关系可以如表9所示。
表9
结合表9,当业务的业务时延为100ms、误包率为10-2时,终端设备可以发送第一类型消息;当业务的业务时延为500ms、误包率为10-4时,终端设备可以发送第三类型消息,其他情况以此类推,不再赘述。
本申请中,如果第一消息为随机接入过程中的消息1或消息A,那么网络设备通过系统消息向终端设备指示的第一消息与业务的关联关系可以为:一个或多个业务服务质量标识与一个随机接入前导码集合关联,一个随机接入前导码集合包括一个或多个随机接入前导码。那么终端设备在发送消息1或消息A时,可以从与业务的业务服务质量标识关联的随机接入前导码集合中选择一个随机接入前导码。
一种示例性的实现方式,系统消息为SIB1,网络设备在SIB1中定义QoS-RequestConfig配置,此时所请求的一个或者多个QoS会与一个preamble资源子集相关联,终端设备使用这个资源子集中的preamble进行随机接入,网络设备就可以获取终端的QoS需求。
一种示例性的配置如下所示,该示例中在SIB1中定义QoS-RequestConfig,QoS-RequestConfig中配置了业务服务质量标识与随机接入前导码集合的关联关系,终端设备接收到SIB1之后,可以通过SIB1中的QoS-RequestConfig确定业务服务质量标识关联的随机接入前导码集合。

其中,rach-ConfigQoS用于配置QoS相关的随机接入信道(random access channel,RACH)公共配置;qos-RequestPeriod用于配置基于QoS的RACH发送周期;QoS-RequestResources用于配置该QoS与哪些preamble相关联。
以上只是示例,第一消息与业务的关联关系还可能存在其他形式,在此不再逐一举例说明。
关于网络侧如何接收第一消息,本申请不做具体限定,可以是如下方式中的一种,也可以是其它方式,在此不做具体限定:
方式一:网络设备侧存在独立的接收机以及普通的接收机,独立的接收机用于接收用于唤醒网络设备的第一消息,比如该独立的接收机可以是一套低功耗接收机;对于处于休眠状态的网络设备,当通过该独立的接收机接收到唤醒网络设备的第一消息时,激活普通的接收机进行工作。
方式二:网络设备侧存在多个载波,当其中的某几个载波关断(或非激活)时,终端设备可以在非关断(或激活)的载波上发送用于唤醒网络设备的第一消息,网络设备接收到该第一消息时,从而唤醒或激活关断的载波。
方式三:网络设备通过其相邻网络设备接收第一消息,例如终端设备向该相邻网络设备发送第一消息,该相邻网络设备可以通过站间接口将第一消息转至该网络设备。
其中,网络设备确定激活载波时,可选的,网络设备可以向终端设备指示激活载波的标识,或者,第一消息可以显式(直接指示)或者隐式(第一消息与载波有绑定关系)指示需要激活的载波,网络设备从而激活相应的载波;可选的,网络设备也可以不指示激活载波的标识,网络设备可以根据第一消息对应的业务的信息,确定需要激活的载波。
S303:网络设备根据第一消息从休眠状态转换为激活状态。
一种可能的实现方式中,网络设备可以根据第一消息与业务的关联关系,确定与第一消息关联的业务的业务类型、业务服务质量标识、业务时延、业务速率、业务误包率以及业务覆盖中的至少一项,从而根据上述至少一项信息转换为激活状态。
举例来说,网络设备根据第一消息确定该第一消息关联的业务类型,并根据业务类型确定转换为激活状态时的启动速度。例如,第一消息关联的业务类型以及启动模式可以如表10所示。
表10
结合表10,网络设备根据第一消息确定业务类型为URLLC业务,则采用更快的启动速度转换为激活状态,例如:在网络设备可以按照快速启动模式启动激活,不执行部分操作,如跳过初始化操作,和/或跳过系统一致性核查,进而减少启动时间,更快的进入激活/工作状态。网络设备根据第一消息确定业务类型为eMBB业务,则可以按照全带宽启动模式启动激活,从而满足eMBB业务对业务速率的要求。
举例来说,网络设备根据第一消息确定该第一消息关联的业务的业务速率,并根据业务速率确定转换为激活状态时工作的带宽大小。例如,网络设备根据第一消息确定业务速 率小于速率阈值时,网络设备可以激活一个比较窄的带宽,而非全频带;网络设备根据第一消息确定业务速率大于或等于速率阈值时,网络设备可以激活全频带。通过该方法,网络设备通过合理的激活网络带宽,有助于实现网络节能。
举例来说,网络设备根据第一消息确定该第一消息关联的业务的业务类型为AR业务时,由于AR业务同时有低时延和高传输速率的要求,因此网络设备转换为激活状态时,可以开启高频小区,因为高频小区具有更宽的带宽,同时具有更短的时隙/符号长度,更好的保证低时延。
一种可能的实现方式中,网络设备可以根据第一消息与网络设备的启动模式的关联关系,确定与第一消息关联的启动模式,从而按照确定的启动模式转换为激活状态。
例如,不同类型的第一消息关联的启动模式可以如表11所示。
表11
举例来说,结合表11,网络设备接收到的第一消息的为第一类型消息,网络设备确定该类型的第一消息关联的启动模式为快速启动模式,在网络设备启动激活时,不执行部分操作,如跳过初始化操作,和/或跳过系统一致性核查,进而减少启动时间,更快的进入激活/工作状态。
举例来说,结合表11,网络设备接收到的第一消息的为第二类型消息,网络设备确定该类型的第一消息关联的启动模式为全带宽启动模式,在网络设备启动激活时,可以激活全频带,从而在启动之后工作在全频带。
举例来说,结合表11,网络设备接收到的第一消息的为第三类型消息,网络设备确定该类型的第一消息关联的启动模式为窄带宽启动模式,在网络设备启动激活时,可以激活部分频带,从而在启动之后工作在窄全频带。
以上只是示例,网络设备具体如何根据第一消息转换为激活状态,还可能存在其他实现方式,在此不再逐一举例说明。
进一步的,本申请中,网络设备如果接收到多个终端设备的第一消息,网络设备可以根据多个第一消息转换为激活状态,也可以根据其中一个第一消息转换为激活状态。
举例来说,终端设备1发送的第一消息为第一类型消息,终端设备2发送的第一消息为第二类型消息,其中第一类型消息关联的业务为URLLC业务,第二类型消息关联的业务为eMBB业务。URLLC业务对时延要求高,eMBB业务对业务速率要求高,因此网络设备可以采用更快的启动速度转换为激活状态,例如:在网络设备启动激活时,跳过初始化操作,和/或跳过部分自检过程,进而减少启动时间,满足URLLC业务的时延要求;网络设备还可以在启动激活时,激活全频带,即工作在全频带,满足eMBB业务对业务速率的要求。
S304:终端设备与网络设备建立连接。
终端设备与网络设备可以通过随机接入建立RRC连接。
一种可能的实现中,终端设备发送第一消息后,启动定时器,定时器到期后,向网络设备发起随机接入,从而和网络设备建立RRC连接。可选的,定时器的定时时长可以根 据标准预定义;或者,可选的,网络设备向终端配置定时时长,例如通过步骤301中的配置信息配置。
一种可能的实现中,终端设备发送第一消息后,检测同步信号块(synchronization signal block,SSB),并根据检测到的同步信号发起随机接入。
一种可能的实现中,终端设备发送的第一消息为随机接入请求消息时,在响应接收窗口内接收网络设备发送的随机接入响应消息,从而和网络设备建立RRC连接。可选的,该响应接收窗口的起始时间和持续时长可以是协议预定义的或网络设备配置的。可选的,该响应接收窗口的起始时间和/或持续时长可以是在协议中的随机接入响应(random access response,RAR)窗口(window)的起始时间和/或持续时长的基础上添加偏置得到。
建立RRC连接之后,终端设备与网络设备之间可以传输业务数据,具体过程不再赘述。
一种可能的实现中,在图1所示的场景中,如果终端设备需要激活辅网络设备(辅站对应的网络设备),终端设备可以向主网络设备(主站对应的网络设备)发送第一消息。主网络设备可以根据第一消息向辅网络设备发送激活指示,从而激活辅网络设备。辅网络设备激活之后,主网络设备可以通过RRC重配置消息通知终端添加辅网络设备,使得终端与辅网络设备也建立连接。
通过本申请提供的方法,通过将终端设备的业务与用于唤醒网络设备的第一消息进行关联,例如不同类型的业务与不同的第一消息关联,当网络设备处于休眠状态,或者网络设备的下行关闭,当网络设备接收到第一消息,网络设备可以根据第一消息确定与其关联的业务的业务类型、业务服务质量标识、业务时延、业务速率、业务误包率以及业务覆盖中的至少一项,网络设备进而可以决定是否执行快启动,或者是否执行宽带传输等,更好的提升用户业务体验,以及降低基站能耗。
本申请中,网络设备处于正常工作状态时,当其覆盖下无连接态终端设备、或者连接态终端设备数量小于预设数量、或者终端设备的业务量小于预设阈值,或者预期未来的一段时间会出现上述情况,网络设备可以执行关断操作,进入休眠状态,以节省能耗。由于网络设备处于休眠状态时,存在多种休眠模式,并且不同休眠模式处理方式、恢复时长等不同,在网络设备执行节能关断处理时,可以提前获取终端设备的业务预期,进而进入相应的休眠模式。其中,休眠模式也可以称为节能模式等。
如图4所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法流程示意图,该方法以终端设备与网络设备之间的交互为例进行说明,该方法包括:
S401:网络设备向终端设备发送第二消息,相应的,终端设备接收该第二消息。
其中,第二消息用于触发终端设备上报辅助信息,辅助信息包括以下至少一项信息:
终端设备预期上报的业务数据量;终端设备预期上报的业务数据包的发送间隔;终端设备预期上报的业务数据包的大小;终端设备预期上报的业务数据包的到达时间。
一种可能的实现方式中,第二消息为寻呼(paging)消息。
该方式中,网络设备可以通过寻呼消息中携带的指示信息,触发终端上报辅助信息。
一种可能的实现方式中,第二消息为短消息。
该方式中,网络设备可以短消息(short message)字段中定义一种类型,用于触发终端设备上报辅助信息。
可选的,该短消息可以由寻呼消息承载,或者直接通过DCI进行指示。
示例性的,短消息字段可以如表12所示。
表12
表12中,短消息字段包括8个比特,其中1~3位比特已经有了相应的指示功能。本申请中,当短消息字段中的第4个比特位为0或1时,可以用于触发终端设备上报辅助信息。
一种可能的实现方式中,第二消息为系统消息。
该系统消息可以为SIB1等。例如,可以在SIB1中定义一个信元,用于指示是否触发终端设备上报辅助信息。当网络设备期望触发终端设备上报辅助信息时,会发送相应的系统消息。
一种可能的实现方式中,第二消息为无线资源控制消息。
以上只是示例,网络设备也可以通过其他方式指示终端设备上报辅助信息,比如通过MAC CE或者在DCI中定义相关域指示终端设备上报上述辅助信息,在此不再赘述。
S402:终端设备向网络设备发送辅助信息,相应的,网络设备接收该辅助信息。
网络设备可以根据辅助信息确定进入休眠状态时的休眠模式以及休眠时长中的至少一项等信息。例如,网络设备可以包括以下几种休眠描述:功率放大器(power amplifier,PA)级休眠模式,该种休眠模式下,仅关闭网络设备侧的PA,相应的网络设备恢复时间最快;AAU级休眠模式:AAU关闭,相应的射频、中频及部分基带模块关闭,恢复时间长;深度休眠模式:射频、中频、基带部分全部关闭,相应的恢复时间最长。
网络设备确定休眠模式和休眠时长后,可以相应的关闭相应模块,并且在预设的休眠时长后可自动唤醒。举例来说,网络设备根据终端上报的辅助信息确定进入AAU级休眠模式,并确定休眠时间T,此时,网络设备可将AAU关断(包含射频模块、中频模块、及部分基带模块),并在时间T后将AAU激活,或者考虑到AAU激活时间为n,可以在时间T-n后将AAU激活。
