Description

一种非连续接收的配置方法及装置
本申请要求于2022年06月27日提交国家知识产权局、申请号为202210743794.5、申请名称为“一种停止监测PDCCH的方法、终端设备、网络设备”的中国专利申请的优先权,以及于2022年07月27日提交国家知识产权局、申请号为202210890313.3、申请名称为“一种非连续接收的配置方法及装置”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种非连续接收的配置方法及装置。
背景技术
在无线通信系统中,在保证数据能够有效传输的前提下为了节省终端设备的功耗,引入了一种非连续接收(discontinuous reception,DRX)机制来控制终端设备监听物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel,PDCCH)的行为。网络设备为终端设备下发DRX配置,其中,DRX配置可以包括DRX周期和持续时间onDuration的配置信息,用于确定终端设备在该DRX周期的onDuration时段内可以持续监听PDCCH获取调度信息。如果终端设备在onDuration时段内没有接收到任何调度信息,则终端设备进入睡眠状态,停止监听PDCCH以节省功耗。
其中,针对扩展现实(extended reality,XR)类业务,例如虚拟现实(virtual reality,VR)、增强现实(augmented reality,AR)、云游戏(cloud gaming,CG)等,其业务特点是数据包到达具有周期性且间隔时间较短,例如,某XR业务为每秒传输60帧图像,则不考虑传输时延的情况下,相邻两个数据包的到达时间间隔平均为16.67毫秒(ms)。但是,考虑到下行传输中,由于数据包从服务器到达基站的路由路径不同,数据包实际到达的时间可能出现抖动(jitter)现象,如0~8ms的抖动时延,且不同数据包可能会出现不同时长的抖动时延,例如数据包到达的时间间隔可能为16.67ms~24.67ms。
目前,为了解决由抖动引起的数据包延迟到达问题,尽可能使得数据到达时间处于DRX周期的onDuration时段之内,可以将onDuraiton的长度配置得较长,以使得onDuration的长度足以覆盖数据包到达的可能时间段。但是,DRX周期的onDuration长度增长会导致终端的功耗增加,若抖动时延较短,数据包实际到达时刻较早,则终端完成数据传输后的onDuration时段内会进行无效的PDCCH监测,从而终端的节能效率较低。

本申请实施例中,芯片系统可以由芯片构成,也可以包括芯片和其他分立器件。
结合上述图1中,终端设备在连接态时可以根据网络设备配置的DRX配置信息,进入持续时间onDuration以持续监听PDCCH,或者进入休眠时间,停止监听PDCCH以达到省电的目的。其中,DRX包括DRX长周期和起始偏移(drx-LongCycleStartOffset),该参数用于配置长DRX周期的长度以及一个DRX周期(无论是长DRX周期还是短DRX周期)的起始位置的偏移值。其中,长DRX周期的长度以毫秒ms为单位,起始偏移的配置粒度为1ms。DRX配置信息还可以包括持续时间定时器onDurationTimer的配置信息,用于确定终端设备从DRX周期的起始位置开始持续监听PDCCH的时段,也就是从drx-StartOffset指示的起始子帧算起需要监听PDCCH的连续子帧数。DRX配置信息还可以包括不活动定时器InactivityTimer的配置信息。此外,DRX参数还包括DRX时隙偏移值(drx-SlotOffset),该参数用于配 置启动drx-onDurationTimer之前的延迟值,其配置粒度为1/32ms,取值范围为0~31,即0ms~31/32ms。当网络设备为终端设备使能DRX短周期时,DRX参数还可以包括短周期(shortDRX),该参数用于配置短DRX周期的长度。
如图3所示,DRX的大致过程如下:进入一个DRX周期后,在持续时间(on duration)的时间段内,终端设备开始持续监测PDCCH。如果在持续时间的时间段内未监测到PDCCH,终端设备在持续时间的时间段结束后直接进入休眠状态。如果在持续时间的时间段内监测到PDCCH,且该PDCCH用于调度新传的数据(即PDCCH用于传输初传调度的调度信息),那么,终端设备按照接收到的调度信息接收数据(即接收PDSCH),并且启动DRX非激活定时器,每当终端设备监测到初传调度的调度信息,该DRX非激活定时器就被启动(或重启)一次,终端设备在DRX非激活定时器定时期间,持续监测PDCCH,直至DRX非激活定时器超时(expire),终端设备进入休眠状态。DRX配置信息还可以包括DRX混合自动重传请求往返时间定时器(drx-hybrid auto repeat request round trip timer,drx-HARQ-RTT-Timer)、DRX重传定时器(drx-RetransmissionTimer)等参数。其中,终端设备在DRX持续时间定时器、DRX非激活定时器、下行链路(downlink,DL)的DRX重传定时器和上行链路(uplink,UL)的DRX重传定时器启动期间均需要监测PDCCH,这些时间也统称为激活时间(Active Time)。其余时间被统称为在激活时间之外(outside Active Time)。在激活时间外,终端设备无需监测PDCCH,此时终端设备可以进入睡眠状态,以节省功耗。
在网络设备向终端设备传输XR或类似XR业务的数据包场景中,如图4所示,以相邻两帧图像对应的数据包(即两个XR数据帧)的到达时间间隔平均为16.67ms为例,终端设备侧XR数据帧的理想到达时间间隔可以为16.67ms。应理解,数据帧是从应用层角度所定义的,一个数据帧也可以替换为一个视频帧。一个协议数据单元集合(protocol data unit set,PDU set)包括一帧(frame)数据帧中的业务数据。PDU set是从MAC层角度所定义的。一个数据帧也可以替换为一个PDU set。在下面的实施例中,均以业务数据为XR数据帧为例,但是下面的方法也适用于其他业务场景,不予限制。
在这种情况下,网络设备可以为该终端设备配置比较接近XR数据帧到达时间间隔的DRX周期长度,例如可以为16ms,或者,通过其他实施方式使得DRX周期长度与终端设备侧XR数据帧到达时间匹配或者近似匹配。在本申请的下述实施例中,假设DRX周期长度与XR数据帧的周期长度是匹配的。
另外,考虑到下行传输中,由于XR数据帧从服务器到达基站的路由路径不同,XR数据帧实际到达的时间可能出现抖动(jitter)现象,例如,抖动的时长可能为0~8ms。如图4所示,XR数据帧的实际到达时间可能会延迟0~8ms,即使得XR数据帧到达的时间间隔为16.67ms~24.67ms之间波动。如图4可以看到,在有抖动的情况下,XR数据帧实际到达的位置可能会落在onDuration之外。这种情况下,由于终端设备在onDuration内未收到调度,在onDuration结束后便不再监测PDCCH,基站只能将XR数据帧延迟到下一个DRX周期内进行调度。这种情况就会增大数据的传输时延。可以理解的是,抖动的时长范围为0~8ms,可以等价描述为抖动的范围为- 4ms~4ms,两种描述方式下参考点不同,但物理含义相同。
一种解决方式中,可以通过将DRX周期中的onDuration时段配置得较长,以解决由于抖动引起的XR数据帧延迟到达的问题,即,尽可能使得数据到达时间处于onDuration时段之内。例如,将onDuraiton的长度配置为可以覆盖到jitter可能的延迟范围,使得onDuration的长度足以覆盖XR数据帧到达的所有可能时间段。但是,DRX的持续时间配置过长会导致终端设备的激活时间过长,终端设备监听到初传PDCCH还会启动InactivityTimer以延长激活时间,与此同时,每个XR数据帧的传输时间可能较短,如此,终端设备会在激活时间的大部分时段内进行无效的PDCCH监测(即监测了PDCCH但是没有收到数据调度),难以达到节能的效果。
基于上述问题,下面结合图1所示通信系统,对本申请实施例提供的实施方式进行描述。其中,下述实施例中的各设备可以具有图2所示部件。其中,本申请各实施例之间涉及的动作,术语等均可以相互参考,各实施例之间还可以相互结合,不予限制。本申请的实施例中各个设备之间交互的消息名称或消息中的参数名称等只是一个示例,具体实现中也可以采用其他的名称,不予限制。
本申请实施例提供一种非连续接收的配置方法,通过配置终端设备停止监测PDCCH的一些规则,使得终端设备可以缩短无效监测PDCCH的时间,为终端设备节省功耗。如图5所示,该方法可以包括:
S501:网络设备向终端设备发送第一PDCCH。
其中,同一网络设备可能用于对多个终端设备进行数据调度,而多个终端设备XR数据帧的大小、XR数据帧调度周期可能不同,因此,网络设备为终端设备配置的DRX配置也不同。从而,网络设备侧会基于不同的终端设备维护其对应的DRX配置,以及维护和更新该终端设备对应的各种DRX相关的定时器运行等。例如,网络设备侧根据第一终端的DRX配置,确定第一终端对应的每个DRX周期的起始时间,DRX周期的持续时间onDuration的起始时间,以及启动不活动定时器InactivityTimer等,从而与第一终端侧保持相同的DRX配置,以同步数据调度等,提高通信效率。
需要说明的是,本申请的实施例中仅以网络设备与一个终端设备同步DRX配置、以及两者之间的交互为例进行说明,并不构成对应用场景的限定。
具体的,网络设备可以在第一DRX周期内向终端设备发送第一PDCCH,第一PDCCH是该终端设备在第一DRX周期的调度数据。
S502:终端设备在第一DRX周期接收第一PDCCH。
相对应的,终端设备在第一DRX周期接收来自网络设备的第一PDCCH。
S503:若满足第一条件,则在不活动定时器InactivityTimer超时时或超时后停止监测PDCCH。
具体的,可以确定在第一时刻停止监测PDCCH,第一时刻可以为第一PDCCH触发的不活动定时器InactivityTimer超时的时刻,或者InactivityTimer超时后的时刻。
也就是说,本申请实施例可以通过定义终端设备停止监测PDCCH的规则,使得终端设备可以根据该规则停止监测PDCCH,缩短无效监测PDCCH的时间以节省功 耗。
相对应的,网络设备也可以根据与终端设备相同的判断规则,确定该终端设备停止监测PDCCH。从而网络设备可以与终端设备对齐监测PDCCH的时段,避免丢包或者无效PDCCH监测,提高通信效率与节能效率。
具体的,该停止监测PDCCH的规则具体可以为:终端设备确定在第一PDCCH触发的InactivityTimer超时后停止监测PDCCH,或者在InactivityTimer超时时停止监测PDCCH。
其中,终端设备可以在DRX周期内onDuration结束前的时刻停止监测PDCCH,即终端设备可以根据预先定义的规则确定在onDuration结束前停止监测PDCCH,提前进入休眠状态。
示例性的,如图6所示,终端设备可以在DRX周期的onDuration内接收第一PDCCH,接收第一PDCCH的时刻启动InactivityTimer。当终端设备确定InactivityTimer超时后停止监测PDCCH,即终端设备在原有onDuration的后续时段不再监测PDCCH,提前进入休眠状态,缩短了持续监测PDCCH的时长。
在一种可能的实施方式中,当终端设备的XR数据帧较大时,一个XR数据帧还可以被分为多个协议数据单元(Protocol Data Unit,PDU)分别进行下发,同一个DRX周期内的XR数据帧分为第一PDU、第二PDU以及第三PDU等分别下发,而每个PDU都对应一个调度数据的PDCCH。例如,终端设备在一个DRX周期内接收第一PDCCH、第二PDCCH以及第三PDCCH等。其中,每个PDCCH中包括调度一个PDU的下行控制信息(Downlink control information,DCI)。另外,每个调度新传数据的PDCCH都会触发启动或重启不活动定时器InactivityTimer,延长监测PDCCH的时间。当终端设备的XR数据帧较大或小区内用户数很多时,数据传输持续的时间较长,InactivityTimer的运行时间可能持续到下一个DRX周期,例如,图7中所示的,第二DRX周期的InactivityTimer的运行时间与相邻的下一个DRX周期(第一DRX周期)的onDuration有重叠。
若终端设备在InactivityTimer超时后停止监测PDCCH,如图7所示,则该终端设备在第一DRX周期的onDuration时段内提前停止监测PDCCH,从而导致该终端设备无法监测到第一DRX周期对应的XR数据帧调度信息PDCCH。在图7中,第一DRX对应的PDCCH表示在第一DRX周期到达的XR数据帧对应的PDCCH,第二DRX对应的PDCCH表示在第二DRX周期到达的XR数据帧对应的PDCCH。在图7中,在第二DRX周期到达的XR数据帧被分为5次传输,因此图7中有5个第二DRX对应的PDCCH。也就是说,终端设备由于无法得知在一个DRX周期中接收的XR数据帧是当前周期对应的XR数据帧还是前一个周期对应的XR数据帧的一部分,出于节能的需求停止监测PDCCH,而导致数据接收失败或增加传输时延。
为解决上述问题,本申请实施例提出的技术方案中,通过结合XR业务的较高时延需求,以及网络设备的XR数据帧丢弃(packet dropping)功能,优化终端设备停止监测PDCCH的规则,从而使得网络设备和终端设备侧可以基于一定的判断条件,确定当前InactivityTimer超时的PDCCH是当前DRX周期的XR数据帧还是前一个DRX的XR数据帧,从而确定是否能够提前终止PDCCH的监测,以达到节省终端设 备功耗的目的,同时不影响数据传输效率。
其中,XR业务对时延要求较高。例如,在实时视频场景中,若XR数据帧传输时延超过预设标准,则可能造成实时视频画面卡顿、显示不流畅等问题,影响用户体验。而时延要求具体可以体现为数据包时延预算(packet delay budget,PDB)。其中,如图8所示,下行数据包从应用服务器传输到终端设备,需要经过互联网传输(应用服务器向核心网设备发送数据包)、核心网传输(核心网设备向接入网设备发送数据包)、接入网传输(接入网设备向终端设备发送数据包)这几个过程,从而PDB可以分为端到端PDB,以及空口PDB。
其中,下行数据包的端到端PDB是指,为满足业务需求,从应用服务器发出数据包的时刻,到终端设备接收到该数据包的时刻之间的最大允许时长。例如,某业务的端到端PDB为100ms,若下行数据包可以在100ms内完成从应用服务器到终端设备的传输,则可以认为满足该业务的传输要求;若下行数据包完成从应用服务器到终端设备的传输需要的时长超过100ms,则可以认为不满足该业务的传输要求。
另外,下行数据包的空口PDB是指,数据包从接入网设备到终端设备完成传输的最大允许时长。例如,某业务的空口PDB为10ms,若下行数据包可以在10ms内完成从基站到终端设备的传输,则可以认为满足该业务的传输要求。
从而,根据特定业务对应的PDB可知,若某XR数据帧传输时长超过对应的PDB需求,可以认为即使完成该XR数据帧传输,该XR数据帧对于接收端的使用意义也不大。因此,网络设备可以使能数据包丢弃(packet dropping)功能,即网络设备可以根据XR业务的PDB需求,对超过PDB的数据包,网络设备不再调度传输该数据包。
例如,某XR数据帧的传输时长超过对应的PDB,即表示当该XR数据帧发送至终端设备时,已经过了该XR数据帧的图像显示时刻,那么该XR数据帧没有传输的必要了,网络设备可以将这类XR数据帧丢弃,不再向终端设备发送。
基于上述技术,在一种实施方式中,上述步骤S503中的第一条件,具体可以包括:在第二时刻,第一定时器未在运行或者已超时,其中,第二时刻可以为终端设备在第一DRX周期内接收第一PDCCH的时刻。
也就是说,通过配置第一定时器,将判断第一定时器是否超时,作为终端设备确定接收的第一PDCCH属于当前DRX周期还是前一个DRX周期的XR数据帧的判断条件。
在一种实施方式中,如图9所示,第一定时器的起始时刻可以为第二DRX周期的持续时长onDuration的起始时刻,即在第二DRX周期的onDuration的起始时刻同时启动第一定时器,其中,第二DRX周期为与第一DRX周期相邻的前一个DRX周期。
如图9所示,在情况1中,若终端设备在第一DRX周期内的第二时刻接收第一PDCCH,并且第一定时器在第二时刻处于运行过程中,则认为该第一PDCCH可能是第一DRX周期的前一个DRX周期内到达的XR数据帧的调度信息,即是第二DRX周期内到达的XR数据帧的调度信息,则该第一PDCCH触发的InactivityTimer超时时,不触发停止监测PDCCH。
反之,在情况2中,若接收第一PDCCH的第二时刻,第一定时器未在运行或者已超时,则认为该第一PDCCH是第一DRX周期的调度信息,则该第一PDCCH触发的InactivityTimer超时时,可以停止监测PDCCH,提前终止监测PDCCH,以节省功耗。
在一种实施方式中,所述停止监测PDCCH,具体可以包括:停止DRX周期的onDuration定时器的运行。如图9中的示例,即停止第一DRX周期的onDuration定时器的运行。
在上述的实施方式中,第一定时器的时长可以是预配置的,或者,还可以是由网络设备配置的。
其中,第一定时器的时长可以与端到端PDB相关,即与应用服务器向终端设备传输XR数据帧的PDB相关。另外,若将应用服务器向接入网设备传输XR数据帧的平均时长看成是一个定值,则第一定时器的时长还可以是如下两项的差值:基于端到端PDB、应用服务器—接入网设备平均传输时长。例如,如图8所示,端到端PDB为T1,服务器与接入网设备之间的平均传输时长为T2,则第一定时器的时长可以设置为T1-T2得到的差值。
另外,在上述的实施方式中,即使第二DRX周期内出现了PDCCH(或DCI)丢包或接收失败,也不会由于停止PDCCH监测而导致的第一DRX周期XR数据帧丢失。
如图9所示,在情况3中,若终端设备未接收到图中所示的PDCCH-1,则终端设备和网络设备侧关于InactivityTimer的运行状态是不一致的。此时网络设备认为InactivityTimer未出现超时,而终端设备会认为IactivityTimer超时过一次。但是,根据本申请的上述实施方式,在终端设备接收第一PDCCH的时刻,若判断第一定时器处于运行状态,则在该第一PDCCH触发的InactivityTimer超时时,终端设备和网络设备都确定不会触发停止监测PDCCH,即InactivityTimer超时后OnDurationTimer未超时前仍监测PDCCH。反之,若终端设备接收第一PDCCH的时刻,判断第一定时器未在运行,则确定在该第一PDCCH触发的InactivityTimer超时时,终端设备和网络设备都会判断此时可以触发停止监测PDCCH。因此,该技术方案的鲁棒性更强。
在另一种实施方式中,第一定时器的起始时刻还可以为第二DRX周期onDuration的结束时刻。也就是说,可以在onDuration的结束时刻启动第一定时器。
此时,若终端设备在第一DRX周期内的第二时刻接收第一PDCCH,并且第一定时器在第二时刻处于运行过程中,则认为该第一PDCCH可能是第一DRX周期的前一个DRX周期内到达的XR数据帧的调度信息,即是第二DRX周期的调度信息,则该第一PDCCH触发的InactivityTimer超时时,不触发停止监测PDCCH。若接收第一PDCCH的第二时刻,第一定时器未在运行或者已超时,则认为该第一PDCCH是第一DRX周期内到达的XR数据帧的调度信息,则该第一PDCCH触发的InactivityTimer超时时,可以停止监测PDCCH,提前终止监测PDCCH。
在这种实施方式下,第一定时器的时长可以与端到端PDB相关,即与应用服务器向终端设备传输XR数据帧的PDB相关。具体的,若将应用服务器与接入网设备之间的传输平均时长与DRX周期中onDuration时长之和看成是一个定值,则第一定 时器的时长还可以是与应用服务器与终端设备的传输PDB与前述定值的差值相关。例如,结合图8所示,端到端PDB为T1,服务器向接入网设备的平均传输时长为T2,DRX周期的onDuration时长为T3,则第一定时器的时长可以设置为T1-T2-T3得到的差值。
进一步的,需要说明的是,由于上述实施方式中,一个DRX周期的onDuration起始时刻或结束时刻启动第一定时器,则该DRX周期对应的第一定时器可能与相邻的下一个DRX周期有重合,例如第二DRX周期的第一定时器可能与第一DRX周期的onDuration重合,而第一DRX周期的onDuration的起始时刻或结束时刻需要再启动一个第一定时器(或命名为不同的定时器)。因此,同一时刻,可能会运行不止一个满足前述功能的第一定时器。
在一种实施方式中,该方法还包括如下步骤。
步骤1:在第一DRX周期的onDuration的起始时刻或者结束时刻,启动第二定时器。
步骤2:终端设备在第三DRX周期的第三时刻接收第三PDCCH。
步骤3:若在第三时刻,第二定时器未在运行或者已超时,则在第四时刻停止监测物理下行控制信道PDCCH。其中,第四时刻为第三PDCCH触发的InactivityTimer超时的时刻或者超时后的时刻。
其中,第三DRX周期为与第一DRX周期相邻的后一个DRX周期,第二定时器与第一定时器是功能相同的定时器,第二定时器与第一定时器的时长相同。
例如,如图10所示,以第一定时器的起始时刻为DRX周期onDuration的起始时刻为例,在第二DRX周期的起始位置启动第一定时器,第一定时器未结束运行时,在第一DRX周期的起始位置需要启动另一个定时器,即第二定时器,其中,第一定时器和第二定时器同时运行。终端设备或网络设备可以确定在接收第三PDCCH的第三时刻,第二定时器未在运行,因此,在InactivityTimer超时的第四时刻,可以停止监测PDCCH,以节省终端设备侧的功耗。
在另一种实施方式中,上述第一条件中包括的第一定时器的起始时刻,还可以为终端设备在DRX周期内首次收到PDCCH的时刻。也就是,在某DRX周期内第一次收到PDCCH的时刻,启动第一定时器。
此时,第一定时器的时长可以与接入网设备向终端设备传输XR数据帧的PDB相关。例如,结合图8所示,接入网设备与终端设备之间的空口PDB为T4,第一定时器的时长可以设置为T4。
结合具体的实施例,如图11所示,终端设备在第二DRX周期内首次收到
PDCCH的时刻,启动第一定时器。若终端设备在第一DRX周期内收到PDCCH-1,接收PDCCH-1的时刻位于第一定时器的运行时间内,则该PDCCH-1触发的InactivityTime超时不会触发第一DRX周期的onDuration提前终止,即InactivityTimer超时后OnDurationTimer未超时前仍监测PDCCH。
示例性的,如图11所示,若终端设备在第一DRX周期内首次收到PDCCH的时刻启动第一定时器,若终端设备在第三DRX周期内收到PDCCH-2,而接收PDCCH-2的时刻位于定时器超时之后,则PDCCH-2触发的InactivityTimer会触发第三DRX 周期的onDuration提前终止,即提前结束PDCCH监测以节省终端设备的功耗。
进一步的,若第一定时器的起始时刻为DRX周期内首次收到PDCCH的时刻,则如图11所示,终端设备在第二DRX周期内首次收到PDCCH的时刻,启动第二DRX周期对应的第一定时器,第一定时器超时后,且第一DRX周期的onDuration内首次收到PDCCH的时刻,启动(或重启)第一定时器。
以此类推,在第一DRX周期对应的第一定时器超时后,且第三DRX周期的onDuration内首次收到PDCCH的时刻,可以启动(或重启)第一定时器。其中,第三DRX周期为与第一DRX周期相邻的后一个DRX周期。
上述的几种实施方式,通过定义第一定时器,从而网络设备和终端设备都可以基于第一定时器是否在运行或超时作为判断条件,确定当前InactivityTimer超时所对应的PDCCH是当前DRX周期的XR数据帧还是前一个DRX的XR数据帧,从而确定是否能够提前终止PDCCH的监测,以达到节省终端设备功耗的目的,避免了过早停止监测PDCCH导致数据传输失败的问题,不影响数据传输效率。另外,当终端设备侧出现DCI丢失的情况下,终端设备侧也能与网络设备侧做出相同的判断,提高整体方案的鲁棒性。
在另一种实施方式中,上述步骤S503中的第一条件,具体可以包括:在第一时段内不活动定时器InactivityTimer未在运行。其中,第一时段的结束时刻为第一DRX周期的onDuration的起始时刻。其中,第一时段的时长可以为预定义的或者为所述网络设备配置的。
也就是说,终端设备或网络设备可以判断,从第一DRX周期的onDuration的起始时刻倒推一定时长的第一时段内,若InactivityTimer未在运行,则表示该第一PDCCH承载的调度信息大概率是第一DRX周期内到达的XR数据帧的调度信息,而不是前一个DRX周期内到达的XR数据帧的调度信息,所以第一PDCCH触发的InactivityTimer超时时或超时后(即第一DRX周期内到达的XR数据帧完成了传输),可以停止监测PDCCH;否则,若第一时段内,InactivityTimer正在运行,则该第一PDCCH承载的调度信息可能是第二DRX周期内到达的XR数据帧的调度信息,而不是第一DRX周期内到达的XR数据帧的调度信息,则不提前停止监测PDCCH,而是持续监测PDCCH,以接收后续的第一DRX周期内到达的XR数据帧的调度信息。
上述解决方式是考虑到,前一个DRX周期内到达的XR数据帧中可能存在传输完成较晚的XR数据帧,因此,若判断前一个DRX周期内到达的XR数据帧在临近下一个DRX周期的时刻还在传输,即在下一个DRX周期onDuration起始时刻前的预设时长(即前述的第一时段的时长)内仍有可能在传输,则确定在下一个DRX周期中不提前停止监测PDCCH。
其中,第一时段的时长可以为预先定义的,例如,可以预先定义第一时段的时长的具体值或者预先定义第一时段的时长与某些配置参数的取值(例如InactivityTimer的长度)相等;或者,第一时段的时长可以为网络设备配置的,例如,可以在网络设备向终端设备下发DRX配置信息的时候携带。本申请对具体的配置方式不做限定。
在一种实施方式中,第一时段的时长可以为InactivityTimer的时长。
也就是说,在第一DRX周期的onDuration的起始时刻之前的InactivityTimer时长内,若InactivityTimer未在运行,则第一PDCCH触发的InactivityTimer超时时或超时后,可以停止监测PDCCH;若InactivityTimer在运行,则不提前停止监测PDCCH,即第一PDCCH触发的InactivityTimer超时后OnDurationTimer未超时前仍监测PDCCH。
进一步的,在一种实施方式中,第一条件具体可以包括:在第一DRX周期的onDuration的起始时刻,InactivityTimer未在运行。
也就是说,终端设备或网络设备可以判断:若第一DRX周期的onDuration的起始时刻,InactivityTimer未在运行,则可以在InactivityTimer超时时或超时后(第一DRX周期内接收的第一PDCCH触发的),停止监测PDCCH。反之,若第一DRX周期的onDuration的起始时刻,InactivityTimer正在运行,则可以在InactivityTimer超时时或超时后(第一DRX周期内接收的第一PDCCH触发的),不停止监测PDCCH,即InactivityTimer超时后OnDurationTimer未超时前仍监测PDCCH。
但是,仅依据上述的第一条件判断停止监测PDCCH,在终端设备侧出现数据丢失的情况下,可能会导致终端设备和网络设备侧不对齐的情况。
示例性的,网络设备正常发送PDCCH-1,而终端设备侧未收到该PDCCH-1,则终端设备与网络设备侧的InactivityTimer运行状态会出现不对齐,如图12中所示。当终端设备在第一DRX周期接收到PDCCH-2,且PDCCH-2触发的InactivityTimer与第一DRX周期的onDuration有重叠。
如图12所示的方式1,若网络设备通过判断第一DRX周期的onDuration起始时刻InactivityTimer在运行,而确定不停止监测PDCCH;而终端设备通过判断第一DRX周期的onDuration起始时刻InactivityTimer未在运行,而确定停止监测PDCCH,从而导致终端设备和网络设备没有对齐,可能导致第一DRX周期内到达的XR数据帧传输失败。
为解决上述问题,可以将前述的两种第一条件进行结合,也就是说,终端设备或网络设备可以判断第一DRX周期的onDuration的起始时刻,InactivityTimer未在运行;并且,第一DRX周期的onDuration起始时刻之前的InactivityTimer内,InactivityTimer未在运行,则第一PDCCH触发的InactivityTimer超时时或超时后,可以停止监测PDCCH。否则,不停止监测PDCCH,InactivityTimer超时后OnDurationTimer未超时前仍监测PDCCH。
如图13所示的方式2,InactivityTimer超时的时刻为T1,第一DRX周期的onDuration起始时刻为T2,若T2-T1≤InactivityTimer时长,则确定在第一DRX周期内的InactivityTimer超时的时刻或超时后,不停止监测PDCCH,或者不提前停止onDuration定时器。
反之,若第一DRX周期的InactivityTimer停止时间足够早,即使终端设备发生PDCCH丢失的情况,该丢失的PDCCH触发的InactivityTimer也不会与第一DRX周期的onDuration重合。因此,可以判断第一DRX周期的onDuration的起始时刻,若InactivityTimer正在运行;或者第一DRX周期的onDuration起始时刻前的InactivityTimer时长内的任意时刻,InactivityTimer处于运行状态,则终端设备在第 一DRX周期中均不提前停止监测PDCCH。
可见,通过上述实施方式,网络设备和终端设备都可以基于第一条件,确定当前InactivityTimer超时所对应的PDCCH是当前DRX周期内到达的XR数据帧还是前一个DRX内到达的XR数据帧,从而确定是否能够提前终止PDCCH的监测,以达到节省终端设备功耗的目的,避免了过早停止监测PDCCH导致数据传输失败的问题,不影响数据传输效率。另外,当终端设备侧出现PDCCH丢失的情况下,终端设备侧也能与网络设备侧做出相同的判断,避免数据传输失败的问题。
在另一种实施方式中,还可以通过判断终端设备在前一个DRX周期内是否丢包,以此来作为确定InactivityTimer超时后是否可以在当前DRX周期内停止监测PDCCH的判断条件。
从而,上述步骤S503中的第一条件,具体可以包括:在第一DRX周期的onDuration的起始时刻,InactivityTimer未在运行,并且终端设备在第二DRX周期内未丢失下行控制信息DCI。其中,第二DRX周期为与第一DRX周期相邻的前一个DRX周期。
也就是说,若判断终端设备在第二DRX周期内未丢失DCI,且第一DRX周期的onDuration的起始时刻,InactivityTimer未在运行,则可以在InactivityTimer超时时或超时后(第一DRX周期内接收的第一PDCCH触发的),停止监测PDCCH。反知,若判断终端设备在第二DRX周期内丢失DCI,且第一DRX周期的onDuration的起始时刻,InactivityTimer未在运行,则在InactivityTimer超时时或超时后(第一DRX周期内接收的第一PDCCH触发的),不可以提前停止监测PDCCH,即InactivityTimer超时后OnDurationTimer未超时前仍监测PDCCH。
在一种实施方式中,终端设备可以根据某DRX周期内接收的混合自动重传请求(hybrid automatic repeat request,HARQ)进程号(HARQ process number,HPN)、新数据指示(new data indicator,NDI)和冗余版本(redundancy version,RV)确定在该DRX周期内是否丢失DCI。或者,终端设备还可以根据数据分配指示(data assignment indication,DAI)确定在某个DRX周期内是否丢失DCI。
其中,HPN用于指示HARQ进程的进程号。NDI用于指示数据是初传还是重传,具体的,可以通过NDI参数是否发生反转(toggled)来判断当前的数据是新传还是重传。其中,NDI反转是指NDI的值从上次的0变成本次为1,或者从上次的1变成本次为0。例如,基站为某个上行HARQ进程分配的DCI中NDI参数,与上次相比发生了反转,则表示终端设备本次可以进行上行新传;如果NDI参数与上次的相同,那么终端设备本次可以执行上行自适应重传。
RV的设计用于实现增量冗余(Incremental redundancy,IR)HARQ传输,即将编码器生成的冗余比特分成若干组,每个RV定义一个传输开始点,首次传输和各次HARQ重传分别使用不同的RV,以实现冗余比特的逐步积累,完成增量冗余HARQ操作。正常情况下,数据初传会使用RV=0,重传会使用RV>0。
示例性的,根据DCI中携带的HPN、NDI和RV字段确定是否丢失DCI,具体包括:若同一HPN对应的NDI反转,且RV>0,则确定该DRX周期内存在丢失DCI的情况。
另外,在HARQ反馈采用动态码本的场景中,终端设备在反馈HARQ-确认(acknowledge,ACK)信息的时候,可以将多个物理下行共享信道(physical downlink shared channel,PDSCH)对应的HARQ-ACK信息承载于同一信息(如DCI)中进行反馈,即可以通过HARQ-ACK码本设计HARQ-ACK信息的数量,以及多个HARQ-ACK的顺序。
示例性的,终端设备在确定采用动态HARQ-ACK码本的情况下,终端设备接收的下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)包括数据分配指示(data assignment indication,DAI)字段。DAI字段指示被调度的数据包(即PDSCH)数量。该字段可以被理解为一个计数器,终端设备在反馈HARQ-ACK码本之前,DAI的计数结果指示了HARQ-ACK码本的比特数。例如3个时隙的HARQ-ACK信息要在同一个时隙反馈,每个时隙的DCI中DAI字段分别指示1/2/3,终端设备在反馈HARQ-ACK码本时,若最后一个DCI中DAI字段指示的取值等于3,则终端设备即可确定反馈HARQ-ACK码本的比特数为3。在另一种设计中,DAI字段可以进一步被分为计数DAI(counter DAI)和总数DAI(total DAI),counter DAI与前面介绍的DAI的功能一致,即用来指示当前调度的是一次反馈之前的第几个数据包(或第几个PDSCH)。total DAI用于指示在一次反馈之前被调度的数据包(或第几个PDSCH)有多少个,通常在一次反馈之前,各个调度数据的DCI中包含的total DAI的取值相同。此时,可以根据total DAI指示的值确定HARQ-ACK码本的大小。若终端设备接收到的第一个DCI中的DAI字段(具体为counter DAI)指示的值大于0,则确定丢失DCI。
上述实施方式,网络设备和终端设备都可以基于第一条件,通过确定前一个DRX周期内是否发生丢包,从而确定当前InactivityTimer超时所对应的PDCCH是当前DRX周期的XR数据帧还是前一个DRX的XR数据帧,进而判断是否能够提前终止PDCCH的监测,以达到节省终端设备功耗的目的,避免了过早停止监测PDCCH导致数据传输失败的问题,不影响数据传输效率。另外,当终端设备侧出现DCI丢失的情况下,终端设备侧也能与网络设备侧做出相同的判断,避免数据传输失败的问题。
在另一种实施方式中,由于网络设备向终端设备发送XR数据帧的时候,知晓该XR数据帧属于哪个DRX周期内到达的XR数据帧,因此,可以通过网络设备向终端设备发送指示,用于指示是否可以在InactivityTimer超时后停止监测PDCCH或者停止运行onDuration定时器,或者,指示当前调度或传输的XR数据帧是否是前一个DRX周期内已被调度的数据属于同一帧数据。
上述步骤S503中的第一条件,具体可以包括:网络设备在第一DRX周期内向终端设备发送第一指示信息,其中,第一指示信息可以用于指示终端设备在
InactivityTimer超时时或超时后停止监测PDCCH,或者,指示终端设备在InactivityTimer超时时或超时后停止onDuration定时器的运行,或者,该第一指示信息指示的第一数据与前一个DRX周期内已被调度的数据属于同一帧数据。
相对应的,终端设备在第一DRX周期内接收来自网络设备的第一指示信息。
在一种实施方式中,第一指示信息可以通过一个特定的比特位来实现指示。例 如,该比特位值为1,用于指示第一指示信息,即在InactivityTimer超时时或超时后停止监测PDCCH,或者,指示终端设备在InactivityTimer超时时或超时后停止onDuration定时器的运行,或者,该第一指示信息指示的第一数据与前一个DRX周期内已被调度的数据属于同一帧数据。反之,若该比特位值为0,用于指示第二指示信息,即在InactivityTimer超时时或超时后不停止监测PDCCH,或者,指示终端设备在InactivityTimer超时时或超时后不停止onDuration定时器的运行,或者,该第一指示信息指示的第一数据与前一个DRX周期内已被调度的数据不属于同一帧数据。
在一种实施方式中,第一指示信息或第二指示信息可以承载于PDCCH中,或者PDCCH的DCI中。示例性的,若第一指示信息承载于第二PDCCH内,则第一数据为第二PDCCH调度的数据。也就是说,网络设备可以通过在PDCCH中携带第一指示信息,用于向终端设备指示该PDCCH调度的数据与前一个DRX周期内已被调度的数据属于同一帧数据。
在另一种实施方式中,第一指示信息或第二指示信息可以承载于PDSCH中,或者,PDSCH的高层控制信令中,例如媒体接入控制(Medium Access Control,MAC)的控制单元(control element,CE)或无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)信令等。
示例性的,若第一指示信息承载于第一PDSCH内,则第一数据为第一PDSCH携带的数据。也就是说,网络设备可以通过在PDSCH中携带第一指示信息,用于向终端设备指示该PDSCH传输的数据与前一个DRX周期内已被调度的数据属于同一帧数据。
上述实施方式,终端设备可以基于来自网络设备的指示信息,确定是否可以在当前InactivityTimer超时时提前终止PDCCH的监测,以达到节省终端设备功耗的目的,避免了过早停止监测PDCCH导致数据传输失败的问题,不影响数据传输效率。
