Description

寻呼方法与通信装置 技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域,更具体地,涉及一种寻呼方法与通信装置。
背景技术
无论是长期演进还是新空口系统,核心网触发的寻呼信息均是由接入网设备通过物理下行共享信道发送给终端设备的。其中,物理下行共享信道的传输资源是由接入网设备通过寻呼-无线网络临时标识加扰物理下行控制信道来向终端设备进行指示的。
为了降低网络侧的能耗,目前提出一种将信令与数据进行分离的通信系统设计,即将接入网设备分为数据接入网设备与信令接入网设备。其中,数据接入网设备聚焦于用户面处理,可以在有数据传输时开启,在无数据传输时关闭,从而实现节能的目的。信令接入网设备聚焦于信令面处理,用于提供信令的广域覆盖,且保持始终在线。
信令接入网设备在寻呼终端设备的过程中,该终端设备对应的数据接入网设备可能因无数据传输而处于休眠状态。为了使该数据接入网设备能够为其服务的终端设备提供数据传输服务,终端设备需要通过发送唤醒信号将其唤醒。但这一方式可能会增加总体时延。
发明内容
本申请提供一种寻呼方法与通信装置,可以实现同时寻呼终端设备以及能够为该终端设备提供服务的网络设备,从而可以降低总体时延。
第一方面,提供了一种寻呼方法,包括:第一通信装置接收来自第三通信装置的寻呼信息,该寻呼信息包括第一指示信息,该第一指示信息用于指示第一通信装置与第二通信装置,第二通信装置为第一通信装置提供服务,或者,第一通信装置为第二通信装置提供服务;第一通信装置根据该寻呼信息建立与第二通信装置或者第三通信装置之间的连接。
第一通信装置可以为终端设备120,还可以是终端设备120中的芯片或者与终端设备120匹配使用的装置。第二通信装置可以为能够为该终端设备120提供服务的网络设备130,还可以是网络设备130中的芯片或者与网络设备130匹配使用的装置。或者,第二通信装置可以为终端设备120,第一通信装置可以为能够为该终端设备120提供服务的网络设备130。第三通信装置可以为网络设备110,该网络设备110用于为前述的终端设备120提供相关配置。
第一通信装置根据该寻呼信息建立与第二通信装置或者第三通信装置之间的连接,具体可以包括第一通信装置根据该寻呼信息建立第一连接,该第一连接可以是第一通信装置与第二通信装置之间的连接,或者可以是第一通信装置与第三通信装置之间的连接。
通过在寻呼信息中携带用于指示终端设备以及为该终端设备提供服务的网络设备的指示信息,本申请可以实现同时寻呼终端设备以及能够为该终端设备提供服务的网络设备,从而可以降低总体时延。
一种可能的实现方式中,第一指示信息包括第一标识与第二标识,其中,第一标识用于指示第一通信装置,第二标识用于指示第二通信装置。
具体而言,通过在寻呼信息中携带第一标识与第二标识,第一通信装置在接收到该寻呼信息时通过该第一标识就能够确定该寻呼信息与其相关。对应的,第二通信装置接收到该寻呼信息时通过该第二标识就能够确定该寻呼信息与其相关。如此,本申请可以实现同时寻呼终端设备以及能够为该终端设备提供服务的网络设备,从而可以降低总体时延。
一种可能的实现方式中,第一指示信息包括索引,该索引关联了第一通信装置与第二通信装置。
该索引与第一通信装置和第二通信装置存在映射关系。该映射关系可以是预先配置或协议预定义的。第一通信装置或者第二通信装置可以通过接收到的该索引以及映射关系确定该寻呼信息是否与其相关。
可选地,该索引可以关联第一通信装置的标识与第二通信装置的标识。
可选地,本申请实施例不限定索引的具体形式。
通过采用关联了第一通信装置与第二通信装置的索引,本申请实施例可以节约用于同时寻呼第一通信装置与第二通信装置的信令开销。
一种可能的实现方式中,该寻呼信息还包括第一通信装置与第二通信装置进行通信的波束信息。
上述的实现方式可以实现第一通信装置快速与第二通信装置实现波束对齐,从而可以降低接入时延。
一种可能的实现方式中,第一通信装置接收该寻呼信息的传输资源与第二通信装置接收该寻呼信息的传输资源相同。
具体而言,第一通信装置与第二通信装置在相同的传输资源处接收该寻呼信息,其可以表示为第一通信装置与第二通信装置共享同一个寻呼配置信息,如此,本申请实施例可以节约信令开销。

第一通信装置接收来自第三通信装置的第二指示信息,该第二指示信息用于指示至少一个控制资源集合;第一通信装置根据第一通信装置的参数确定至少一个资源控制集合中的第一控制资源集合;第一通信装置的参数与第一控制资源集合之间存在关联关系;至少一个控制资源集合中的每个控制资源集合用于接收下行控制信息,该下行控制信息用于指示接收该寻呼信息的传输资源。
通过向第一通信装置指示多个用于接收下行控制信息的控制资源集合,第一通信装置可以根据参数选择合适的控制资源集合,如此可以避免在多个控制资源集合同时进行盲检,这能够降低第一通信装置的复杂度。
另外,通过配置多个用于监测下行控制信息的控制资源集合,本申请实施例可以解决用于监测下行控制信息的控制信道资源不足的问题,从而可以增强寻呼容量。
一种可能的实现方式中,第一通信装置的参数与第一控制资源集合之间的关联关系是协议预定义的,或者,第一通信装置的参数与第一控制资源集合之间的关联关系是指示的。

具体地,第一通信装置根据第三通信装置发送的配置信息分别接收来自于不同通信装置的下行控制信息与寻呼信息,如此,本申请实施例可以实现第一通信装置在不同于用于接收下行控制信息的传输资源上进行寻呼信息的接收,如此,可以克服现有的用于发送寻呼信息的物理下行共享信道资源不足的问题。
具体来说,第一通信装置可以根据第二传输资源接收寻呼信息,且根据第一传输资源接收到的下行控制信息用于指示接收寻呼信息,如此,可以克服现有的用于接收寻呼信息的资源不能超过控制资源集合#0的大小限制,继而增加用于传输寻呼信息的传输资源。

如此,可以支持寻呼信息跨载波的调度。

一种可能的实现方式中,该方法还包括:第一通信装置接收来自第三通信装置的第三指示信息,该第三指示信息用于指示第一传输资源的准共址与第二传输资源的准共址是否相同。
具体来说,第一通信装置可以基于该第三指示信息所指示的第一传输资源与第二传输资源的准共址是否相同来确定在接收寻呼信息时,能否复用接收下行控制信息时的准共址信息。例如,若相同,则可以复用接收下行控制信息的准共址信息;若不相同,则不复用接收下行控制信息的准共址信息。
一种可能的实现方式中,该方法还包括:第一通信装置接收来自第三通信装置的第四指示信息,该第四指示信息用于指示第一通信装置与第二通信装置进行通信的波束信息。
具体来说,第一通信装置接收下行控制信息与寻呼信息是来自不同的通信装置,第一通信装置可以通过上述的第四指示信息确定用于接收寻呼信息的波束信息,即:该指示信息指示第一通信装置应该用什么样的波束来接收该寻呼信息,从而避免接收不到寻呼信息。
一种可能的实现方式中,该第三指示信息或者第四指示信息还用于指示以下至少一项:第一传输资源与第二传输资源之间间隔的时间单元的数量,或者,第二传输资源的循环前缀长度。
通过指示第一传输资源与第二传输资源之间的时延,本申请实施例可以使得第一通信装置在合适的时间接收第二传输资源,避免第一通信装置因提前接收寻呼信息却接收失败的情况出现,另外,这也可以降低第一通信装置的能耗。
一种可能的实现方式中,该时间单元包括以下至少一项:时隙、微时隙(mini-slot)、非时隙(non-slot)或者符号。

下文将对现有的寻呼流程进行描述。
图2是现有的寻呼方法200的流程示意图。如图2所示,寻呼方法200的执行主体包括终端设备与接入网设备。寻呼方法200包括:
S210、接入网设备向终端设备发送寻呼-无线网络临时标识加扰的下行控制信息。
相应地,终端设备接收来自接入网设备的寻呼-无线网络临时标识(pagingradio network temporary identifier,P-RNTI)加扰的下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)。
对于处于空闲状态的终端设备而言,终端设备需要周期性地醒来并监测P-RNTI加扰的物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel,PDCCH),并解析该PDCCH承载的DCI。其中,P-RNTI加扰的DCI除了可以用于向终端设备指示短消息(short message),还能够用于调度承载寻呼信息(paging message)的物理下行共享信道(physical downlink shared channel,PDSCH)的传输资源。
具体而言,终端设备能够根据其所接收的P-RNTI加扰的DCI确定此为寻呼指示,以及,还能够基于该P-RNTI加扰的DCI确定用于接收寻呼信息的PDSCH的传输资源。
S220、接入网设备向终端设备发送寻呼信息。
相应地,终端设备接收来自接入网设备的寻呼信息。
终端设备能够根据其已接收的P-RNTI加扰的DCI确定用于接收寻呼信息的PDSCH的传输资源,并在该PDSCH的传输资源处接收来自接入网设备的寻呼信息。
进一步地,终端设备可以解析并获取寻呼信息的内容。
由上,终端设备与接入网设备完成了寻呼流程。
进一步来说,寻呼(paging)是一个寻找或者唤醒终端设备的过程。寻呼过程可以分为两类:核心网(core network,CN)触发的寻呼过程和接入网设备触发的寻呼过程。下文主要介绍核心网触发的寻呼过程。
核心网触发的寻呼信息需要通过接入网设备发送给终端设备。例如,核心网通过NG接口将寻呼信息发送给接入网设备,接入网设备再将其发送给终端设备。
无论是LTE还是NR系统,核心网触发的寻呼信息是由接入网设备通过PDSCH发送给终端设备的。其中,PDSCH的传输资源是由接入网设备通过P-RNTI加扰PDCCH向终端设备进行指示的。因此,在接收寻呼信息之前,终端设备需要先监测PDCCH信道,并根据PDCCH是否携带P-RNTI的DCI来判断在该寻呼周期内是否有寻呼信息的发送。
为了降低无线资源控制_空闲态(radio resource control_dle,RRC_IDLE)/非激活态(RRC_INACTIVE)下的终端设备的功耗,终端设备会采用非连续接收(discontinuous reception,DRX)的方式来接收寻呼信息。其中,一个DRX周期(cycle)内包括至少一个寻呼帧(paging frame,PF)。一个PF对应至少一个寻呼时机(paging occasion,PO)。终端设备仅需在一个DRX周期内醒来一次来监测一个PO。另外,DRX周期表示终端设备检测寻呼的周期,PF表示终端设备检测寻呼的系统帧,PO表示终端设备检测寻呼的具体PDCCH监测时机(monitioring occasions)。
终端设备可以通过相关公式来计算并确定PF与PO的位置。例如,
PF:(SFN+PF_offset)mod T=(T div N)*(UE_ID mod N);
i_s:floor(UE_ID/N)mod N S=0。
其中,SFN表示系统帧号(system frame number,SFN)。T表示DRX周期。一般地,系统信息中会有一个小区级别的T c,同时,也有可能会有UE级别的T UE。如果没有指示T UE,则T=T UE;若指示了T UE,则T=min{T c,T UE}。N表示T中的PF总数。N S表示一个PF对应的PO数量。PF_offset表示PF的偏移。UE_ID表示UE的国际移动用户识别码(international mobile subscriber identifier,IMSI)mod 1024的余数,其中,mod为取模运算。floor表示向下取整的函数。i_s表示PF所对应的PO的索引(index)。
可以理解的是,接入网设备可以通过系统信息块(system information block,SIB)中的寻呼控制信道(paging control channel,PCCH)-配置信息(configuration,Config)广播与寻呼相关的配置信息。例如,与寻呼相关的配置信息可以包括:寻呼周期(DRX周期)、PF在寻呼周期内的偏置、PO的起始位置等。基于上述的配置信息和终端设备的标识信息,终端设备确定每个寻呼周期内对应的PO。关于配置信息的内容可以示例性地参看表1。
表1
Figure PCTCN2022106428-appb-000001
基于表1所示的内容可以得出,终端设备需要每隔320ms(T*10ms)醒来一次,并尝试接收寻呼信息。在DRX周期内,每两个系统帧(N=16)中会有一个PF可用于发送寻呼信息。不同的终端设备可以基于其不同的UE_ID,从上述的DRX周期内的16个PO中选择对应的一个PO进行接收寻呼信息。
在图1所示的场景中,为了降低网络侧能耗,同时保持用户业务在线,用于为终端设备120提供信令服务的网络设备110需要保持在线。为终端设备120提供数据传输服务的网络设备130在有数据传输时开启,在无数据传输时关闭。其中,网络设备130可以支持多种形态,譬如:激活状态、休眠状态、仅上行传输(UL only)状态等。当网络设备130的覆盖范围内没有处于连接状态(RRC-CONNECTED)的终端设备时,网络设备130便可以进入休眠状态。此时寻呼操作由网络设备110执行。网络设备110执行寻呼终端设备120的操作时,如果需要寻呼的终端设备120在处于休眠状态的网络设备130的覆盖范围内,终端设备120被唤醒后,其需要将该终端设备120对应的且处于休眠状态的网络设备130也唤醒,使其能够为该终端设备120提供数据传输服务。
然而,网络设备110先唤醒终端设备120,终端设备120再唤醒对应的网络设备130的寻呼方式会导致网络设备130的启动时间较晚,且会增加总体时延。
鉴于上述技术问题,本申请提供了一种寻呼方法与通信装置,通过在寻呼信息中携带用于指示终端设备以及能够为该终端设备提供服务的网络设备的指示信息,本申请可以实现同时寻呼终端设备以及能够为该终端设备提供服务的网络设备,从而可以降低总体时延。
下文将结合附图对本申请实施例的寻呼方法进行描述。
图3是本申请实施例的寻呼方法300的交互流程图。图3中的方法流程可以由第一通信装置/第三通信装置执行,或者由安装于第一通信装置/第三通信装置中的具有相应功能的模块和/或器件(例如,芯片或集成电路等)执行,本申请实施例不限定。下文以第一通信装置/第三通信装置为例进行说明。寻呼方法300的执行主体为第一通信装置与第三通信装置。其中,第三通信装置可以为网络设备110。
可以理解的是,在寻呼方法300中,第一通信装置可以为终端设备120,第二通信装置可以为网络设备130。或者,第一通信装置可以为网络设备130,第二通信装置可以为终端设备120。因此,寻呼方法300不仅适用于第一通信装置为终端设备120和第二通信装置为网络设备130的场景,也适用于第一通信装置为网络设备130,第二通信装置为终端设备120的场景。为便于描述,本申请实施例以第一通信装置为终端设备120为例进行描述,但不限定第一通信装置为网络设备130的场景。如图3所示,寻呼方法300包括:

另外,第二通信装置用于为第一通信装置提供服务,可以理解为:第二通信装置是第一通信装置的关联通信装置,即:第一通信装置与第二通信装置互相关联。
其中,第二通信装置与第一通信装置之间的关联关系可以是由核心网配置的,也可以是由第三通信装置配置的,也可以是根据第一通信装置的历史驻留信息,或者通过第二通信装置之间交互各自所关联的第一通信装置所形成的。
第二通信装置为第一通信装置提供服务时,第二通信装置可以称为服务节点,服务节点可以是:基站、小区、TRP、RIS节点、IAB节点、中继(Relay)节点中的任意一种。
一方面,寻呼信息#A包括的第一指示信息能够用于向第一通信装置指示寻呼信息#A与第一通信装置相关。第一通信装置接收与其相关的寻呼信息后,可以执行以下一种或多种操作:响应该寻呼信息#A,恢复RRC连接,或者,重新建立RRC连接,等等。

一个可能的实现方式,第一指示信息包括索引(index),该索引关联了第一通信装置与第二通信装置。示例性地,索引关联了第一通信装置的标识(例如,第一标识)与第二通信装置的标识(例如,第二标识)。
索引可以视为第三通信装置为第一通信装置与第二通信装置之间建立的连接关系。第三通信装置将第一通信装置与第二通信装置之间的关联关系以索引的形式体现出来,且第一通信装置与第二通信装置之间的关联关系可以以协议预定义的方式进行配置。
示例性地,索引#a关联标识#a1与标识#b1,索引#b关联标识#a2与标识#b2,索引#c关联标识#a3与标识#b3。第一通信装置可以根据接收到的索引#a和自身的标识#a1,确定寻呼信息#A与该第一通信装置相关。第二通信装置可以根据接收到的索引#a和自身的标识#b1,确定寻呼信息#A与第二通信装置相关。如此,通过采用索引的方式,本申请实施例可以节约信令开销。
可选地,索引的形式可以包括第一通信装置的标识或者第二通信装置的标识。即,寻呼消息#A包含第一通信装置的标识或者第二通信装置的标识,该第一通信装置的标识与该第二通信装置的标识关联,该关联关系可以是协议预定义的或者提前配置的。第一通信装置或第二通信装置接收寻呼消息#A后,可以通过第一通信装置的标识或者第二通信装置的标识以及该关联关系,可以确定该寻呼信息#A是否与其相关。
进一步地,寻呼信息#A可以包括索引列表,该索引列表包括多个索引,例如,包括上述的索引#a、索引#b、索引#c等。
可选地,本申请实施例不限定索引的具体形式。
通过采用关联了第一通信装置与第二通信装置的索引,本申请实施例可以节约用于同时寻呼第一通信装置与第二通信装置的信令开销。
可选地,第一通信装置与第二通信装置之间的关联关系可以通过第三通信装置向第一通信装置与第二通信装置进行指示的方式进行确定。
示例性地,例如,第一通信装置接入第三通信装置时,第三通信装置向第一通信装置指示第一通信装置与第二通信装置之间的关联关系所对应的索引值;或者,第一通信装置进入RRC_IDLE状态时,第三通信装置向第一通信装置指示第一通信装置与第二通信装置之间的关联关系所对应的索引值,等等。
一个可能的实现方式,第一指示信息包括索引与第一标识。如此,第一通信装置可以根据第一标识确定寻呼信息#A与其相关。第二通信装置也可以根据第一标识与索引确定寻呼信息#A与其相关。
S320、第一通信装置根据寻呼信息#A建立与第二通信装置或者第三通信装置之间的连接。
具体而言,第一通信装置为终端设备120,第二通信装置为网络设备130时,第一通信装置可以通过寻呼信息#A中的第一指示信息确定其与第一通信装置相关。因此,第一通信装置可以响应寻呼信息#A。例如,第一通信装置恢复与第三通信装置之间的RRC连接,或者,第一通信装置重新建立与第三通信装置之间的RRC连接,等等。又例如,第一通信装置建立与第二通信装置之间的空口连接等。
第一通信装置根据该寻呼信息建立与第二通信装置或者第三通信装置之间的连接,可 以包括:第一通信装置根据该寻呼信息建立第一连接,该第一连接可以是第一通信装置与第二通信装置之间的连接,或者可以是第一通信装置与第三通信装置之间的连接。在此做统一说明,后文不再赘述。
综上,第一通信装置可以根据寻呼信息#A建立与第二通信装置或者第三通信装置之间的连接。
通过在寻呼信息中携带用于指示第一通信装置以及第一通信装置关联的第二通信装置的指示信息,第三通信装置可以实现同时唤醒第一通信装置与第二通信装置,如此,可以降低总体时延,还可以节约寻呼开销。
一些可能的实现中,第三通信装置能够获取到第一通信装置(终端设备)的位置信息,比如:第一通信装置(终端设备)的位置固定,比如:第三通信装置可以基于人工智能、感知等方式获取到第一通信装置(终端设备)的位置信息,并能够根据该位置信息对第一通信装置(终端设备)可能关联的一个或者多个第二通信装置进行推测。
一些可能的实现中,由于第一通信装置(终端设备)的移动性,第三通信装置可能无法实时获取第一通信装置(终端设备)的具体位置信息,但可以根据已获取的第一通信装置(终端设备)的历史位置信息以及运动路线等,对第一通信装置(终端设备)可能关联的一个或者多个第二通信装置进行推测。
一种可能的实现中,第三通信装置将第一通信装置关联的多个第二通信装置的标识置于寻呼信息#A中,用于同时唤醒第一通信装置以及其所关联的多个第二通信装置。
第一通信装置所关联的第二通信装置的数量可以是一个,也可以是多个。当涉及多个第二通信装置时,前述的第一指示信息能够用于指示多个第二通信装置。
一个可能的实现方式:
第三通信装置向第一通信装置发送寻呼信息#A的传输资源与第三通信装置向第二通信装置发送寻呼信息#A的传输资源是相同的。
示例性地,第一通信装置与第二通信装置在相同的传输资源上监测寻呼信息#A。换言之,第一通信装置与第二通信装置共享同一个寻呼配置信息。如此,第三通信装置可以通过同一个寻呼配置信息实现同时唤醒第一通信装置与第二通信装置,这可以节约信令开销。
一个可能的实现方式:
第三通信装置向第一通信装置发送寻呼信息#A的传输资源与第三通信装置向第二通信装置发送寻呼信息#A的传输资源是不相同的。
示例性地,第三通信装置可以通过广播多个寻呼配置信息,该多个寻呼配置信息用于分别寻呼第一通信装置与第二通信装置,从而可以支持第一通信装置与第二通信装置在不同的传输资源监测寻呼信息。如此,本申请实施例可以支持第一通信装置与第二通信装置在不同的传输资源监测寻呼信息#A。
一个可能的实现方式,寻呼信息#A还可以包括第一通信装置与第二通信装置进行通信的波束信息。
例如,寻呼信息#A中可以配置第一通信装置的发送波束和/或接收波束信息。譬如,可以通过同步信号和物理广播信道块(synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel block,SSB)、预编码矩阵指示(precoding matrix indication,PMI)或者其它形式进行通知或者指示。
示例性地,以配置发送波束信息为例进行描述,例如,SSB有8个索引,每个索引分别对应不同的波束,寻呼信息#A可以包括具体的SSB索引,第一通信装置能够基于寻呼信息#A中包括的具体的SSB索引确定发送波束。
如此,本申请实施例可以通过指示第一通信装置与第二通信装置进行通信的波束信息,可以实现第一通信装置快速与第二通信装置实现波束对齐,从而可以降低接入时延。
可以理解的是,寻呼方法300同样适用于第一通信装置为网络设备130、第二通信装置为终端设备120的场景,具体描述可以参看上述内容,在此不再赘述。
需要说明的是,第一通信装置为网络设备130,第二通信装置为终端设备120时,第一通信装置可以通过寻呼信息#A中的第一指示信息确定其与第一通信装置相关。因此,第一通信装置可以响应寻呼信息#A。例如,第一通信装置建立与第三通信装置之间的站间接口传输(例如,Xn接口传输)等。又例如,第一通信装置建立与第二通信装置之间的空口连接等。
下文将结合图4对本申请实施例的寻呼方法400进行描述。
图4是本申请实施例的寻呼方法400的交互流程图。图4中的方法流程可以由第一通信装置/第三通信装置执行,或者由安装于第一通信装置/第三通信装置中的具有相应功能的模块和/或器件(例如,芯片或集成电路等)执行,本申请实施例不限定。下文以第一通信装置/第三通信装置为例进行说明。寻呼方法400的执行主体为第一通信装置与第三通信装置。其中,第一通信装置可以为终端设备120,第三通信装置可以为网络设备110。如图4所示,寻呼方法400包括:
S410、第三通信装置向第一通信装置发送第二指示信息,用于指示至少一个控制资源集合(core resource set,CORESET)。
相应地,第一通信装置接收来自第三通信装置的第二指示信息,并根据第二指示信息确定第三通信装置所指示的至少一个CORESET。
具体而言,至少一个CORESET中的每个CORESET能够用于指示第一通信装置接收DCI的资源,即:每个CORESET用于接收DCI。
可选地,该DCI是使用P-RNTI进行加扰的,本申请实施例以其为例进行描述。
可选地,该DCI还可以使用其他标识进行加扰,本申请实施例不限定。
具体地说,第一通信装置接收承载于PDCCH的DCI的传输资源主要依赖于CORESET和搜索空间(search space,SS)来确定的。其中,CORESET用于指示PDCCH的频域资源信息以及时域资源所占用的OFDM符号的数量信息等信息,搜索空间用于指示PDCCH的起始OFDM符号以及监测周期、关联的CORESET等信息。第一通信装置可以通过CORESET和SS确定用于接收P-RNTI加扰的DCI的传输资源。
一般地,第三通信装置可以在系统消息的PDCCH common字段中配置用于指示第一通信装置所使用的SS的搜索空间标识。如果PDCCH common没有配置搜索空间标识,第一通信装置可以使用默认的Type0-PDCCH资源,该资源可以为用于调度系统信息1(system information block 1,SIB1)的PDCCH资源。
对于寻呼所关联的SS,第三通信装置通常会配置其所关联的CORESET,第一通信装置在该CORESET上检测P-RNTI加扰的DCI。如果第三通信装置没有配置寻呼所关联的 CORESET,第一通信装置可以在CoreSet#0(默认的CORESET)检测P-RNTI加扰的DCI。
第一通信装置仅在CORESET内的公共搜索空间(common search space,CSS)上检索P-RNTI加扰的DCI时,由于CORESET内的CSS是有限的,当多个第一通信装置均在该CSS内检索P-RNTI加扰的DCI时,会导致多个关于第一通信装置的寻呼信息发送不及时。因此,第三通信装置可以向第一通信装置发送用于指示至少一个CORESET的第二指示信息,第一通信装置可以从中选择一个合适的CORESET。
S420、第一通信装置根据第一通信装置的参数确定至少一个CORESET中的CORESET#A。
具体地,第一通信装置的参数可以包括如下至少一个:组标识、波束索引以及设备标识等。其中,上述所列举的每个参数与第三通信装置所指示的CORESET#A具有关联关系。
一个可能的实现方式,第一通信装置的参数与CORESET#A之间的关联关系是协议预定义的;或者,第一通信装置的参数与CORESET#A之间的关联关系是指示的。例如,第三通信装置向第一通信装置指示第一通信装置的参数与CORESET#A之间的关联关系。
示例性地,第一通信装置接入网络时,第三通信装置向第一通信装置指示第一通信装置的参数与CORESET#A之间的关联关系。
通过采用指示的方式,本申请实施例可以实现更为灵活地向第一通信装置指示第一通信装置的参数与第一控制资源集合之间的关联关系。通过采用协议预定义的方式,本申请实施例可以减少通知开销。
可选地,第一通信装置的参数与CORESET#A之间的关联关系可以是由第三通信装置指示的,也可以是在第一通信装置与第三通信装置在之前的通信过程中告知的。
下文将示例性地描述第一通信装置的参数与CORESET#A之间的关联关系。
示例性地,组标识与CORESET之间的关联关系#1:
第一通信装置的参数包括组标识时,第三通信装置(或者是核心网)可以将多个第一通信装置归为同一个小组,并为每个小组配置一个组标识。例如,第一小组的组标识为#U,第二小组的组标识为#Y。其中,每个小组内包括多个第一通信装置。
第三通信装置可以配置:对应组标识为#U的第一通信装置对应CORESET#1,对应组标识为#Y的第一通信装置对应CORESET#2。如此,第一通信装置通过自身所属的组标识确定对应的CORESET,避免在多个CORESET同时进行盲检,从而能够降低第一通信装置的复杂度。
示例性地,组标识与CORESET之间的关联关系可以参见表2。
表2
Figure PCTCN2022106428-appb-000002
表2中,组标识为#U的第一通信装置选择CORESET#1;组标识为#Y的第一通信装 置选择CORESET#2;组标识为#P的第一通信装置选择CORESET#3;组标识为#K的第一通信装置选择CORESET#4。
可选地,第三通信装置可以将表2的内容以配置信息的形式发送给第一通信装置。如此,第一通信装置可以根据第三通信装置发送的第二指示信息以及自身的组标识(在表2所示的内容为协议预定义的时候)确定对应的CORESET,避免在多个CORESET同时进行盲检,从而能够降低第一通信装置的复杂度。
可选地,第一通信装置还可以根据第三通信装置发送的第二指示信息与表2所示的内容以及自身的组标识确定对应的CORESET,避免在多个CORESET同时进行盲检,从而能够降低第一通信装置的复杂度。
上述的S410中,第三通信装置向第一通信装置发送的第二指示信息所指示的至少一个CORESET可以是如表2中所示的部分或者全部的CORSET,本申请实施例不限定。
可以理解的是,上述分组可以是由核心网完成的,也可以是由第三通信装置完成的。若是由核心网完成,核心网会将第一通信装置的信息与其对应的组标识信息发送给第一通信装置与第三通信装置。若是由第三通信装置完成,第三通信装置会将第一通信装置对应的组标识指示给第一通信装置。例如,通过系统信息广播,或者在第一通信装置处于连接态时,通过RRC信令通知等方式。
可选地,表2所示的内容可以通过协议预定义的方式进行配置。
示例性地,设备标识与CORESET之间的关联关系#2:
第一通信装置的参数包括设备标识时,第一通信装置的设备标识与CORESET之间的关联关系可以是由协议预定义的,也可以是由第三通信装置进行配置的。例如,第三通信装置配置多个CORESET,第一通信装置可以根据第一通信装置的设备标识来确定对应的CORESET。
通过采用指示的方式,本申请实施例可以实现更为灵活地向第一通信装置进行指示第一通信装置的参数与第一控制资源集合之间的关联。通过协议预定义的方式,本申请实施例可以减少通知开销。
示例性地,第三通信装置将配置的多个CORESET进行编号,例如编号为0~N-1,N为第三通信装置配置的CORESET的数量,第一通信装置需检测的CORESET索引=UE_ID mod N,mod表示取模运算。如此,第一通信装置通过自身的设备标识确定对应的CORESET,避免在多个CORESET同时进行盲检,从而能够降低第一通信装置的复杂度。
示例性地,设备标识与CORESET之间的关联关系可以参见表3。
表3
Figure PCTCN2022106428-appb-000003
表3中,UE_ID mod N为0的第一通信装置选择CORESET#0;UE_ID mod N为1的 第一通信装置选择CORESET#1;UE_ID mod N为2的第一通信装置选择CORESET#2;UE_ID mod N为N-1的第一通信装置选择CORESET#N-1。
可选地,第三通信装置可以将表3的内容以配置信息的形式发送给第一通信装置。如此,第一通信装置可以根据第三通信装置发送的第二指示信息以及自身的设备标识确定对应的CORESET,避免在多个CORESET同时进行盲检,从而能够降低第一通信装置的复杂度。
可选地,表3所示的内容可以通过协议预定义的方式进行配置。
上述的S410中,第三通信装置向第一通信装置发送的第二指示信息所指示的至少一个CORESET可以是如表3中所示的部分或者全部的CORSET,本申请实施例不限定。
示例性地,波束索引与CORESET之间的关联关系#3:
第一通信装置的参数包括波束索引时,第三通信装置可以配置第一通信装置的波束索引与CORESET之间的关联关系。例如,第三通信装置配置多个CORESET,并指示第一通信装置的波束索引与多个CORESET之间的关联关系。
示例性地,每个波束索引可以关联一个CORESET,譬如:共有4个波束索引,波束索引0关联CORESET 0,波束索引1关联CORESET1,波束索引2关联CORESET 2,波束索引3关联CORESET3。如此,第一通信装置可以在对应的波束索引下确定对应的CORESET,避免在多个CORESET同时进行盲检,从而能够降低第一通信装置的复杂度。
示例性地,波束索引与CORESET之间的关联关系可以参见表4。
表4
Figure PCTCN2022106428-appb-000004
表4中,波束索引为1的第一通信装置选择CORESET#1;波束索引为2的第一通信装置选择CORESET#2;波束索引为3的第一通信装置选择CORESET#3。
可选地,第三通信装置可以将表4的内容发送给第一通信装置。如此,第一通信装置可以根据第三通信装置发送的第二指示信息以及自身对应的波束索引确定对应的CORESET,避免在多个CORESET同时进行盲检,从而能够降低第一通信装置的复杂度。
可选地,表4所示的内容可以通过协议预定义的方式进行配置。
上述的S410中,第三通信装置向第一通信装置发送的第二指示信息所指示的至少一个CORESET可以是如表4中所示的部分或者全部的CORSET,本申请实施例不限定。
当第一通信装置的参数包括波束索引时,第一通信装置可以通过所在的同步信号块波束,确定相应的CORESET,另一方面,相邻的同步信号块波束可以关联不同(如频域位置不同)的控制资源集合,如此可以降低干扰。
一种可能的实现中,一个波束用于发送一个SSB,即一个波束对应一个SSB。因此,波束索引与SSB索引可以是一一对应的。第一通信装置的参数还可以包括SSB索引。
示例性地,每个SSB索引可以关联一个CORESET,譬如:共有4个SSB index,其 中,SSB index 0关联CORESET 0,SSB index 1关联CORESET1,SSB index 2关联CORESET 2,SSB index 3关联CORESET3。如此,第一通信装置可以在对应的SSB索引下确定对应的CORESET,避免在多个CORESET同时进行盲检,从而能够降低第一通信装置的复杂度。

可选地,表5所示的内容可以以协议预定义的方式进行配置。
上述的S410中,第三通信装置向第一通信装置发送的第二指示信息所指示的至少一个CORESET可以是如表5中所示的部分或者全部的CORSET,本申请实施例不限定。
示例性地,SSB索引(也可以是波束索引)、设备标识与CORESET之间的关联关系#4:
第一通信装置的参数包括SSB索引与设备标识时,第三通信装置可以配置第一通信装置的设备标识、SSB索引以及CORESET之间的关联关系。
示例性地,每个SSB索引关联多个CORESET。由于每个SSB波束关联多个CORESET,第三通信装置可根据第一通信装置的设备标识来确定第一通信装置需检测的CORESET。例如,第三通信装置可以将每个SSB索引所关联的CORESET进行编号,编号为0~N-1,N为每个SSB索引所关联的CORESET的数量,第一通信装置需检测的CORESET索引=UE ID mod N。
譬如,共有4个SSB index,其中,SSB index 0关联CORESET 0、CORESET 1,SSB index 1关联CORESET 2、CORESET 3,SSB index 2关联CORESET 0、CORESET 1,SSB index 3关联CORESET 2、CORESET 3。对于SSB index3下的第一通信装置,其通过获取第二指示信息确定该波束关联了CORESET 2和CORESET 3,第一通信装置可以先将这CORESET 2和CORESET 3重新编号为CORESET 0和CORESET 1,然后根据上述公式CORESET索引=UE ID mod 2,确定对应的CORESET。例如,第一通信装置的UE ID=15,则CORESET索引=UE ID mod 2=1,index 1对应的是CORESET 3,则第一通信装置在CORESET3监测P-RNTI加扰的DCI。
如此,第一通信装置可以在相应的波SSB索引与设备标识下确定对应的CORESET,避免在多个CORESET同时进行盲检,从而能够降低第一通信装置的复杂度。
示例性地,状态类型与CORESET之间的关联关系#5:
第一通信装置的参数包括状态类型时,第三通信装置可以配置第一通信装置的状态类型与CORESET之间的关联关系。
示例性地,第三通信装置可配置两个CORESET,一个CORESET用于处于空闲状态下的第一通信装置;一个CORESET用于处于第三状态(in-active)下的第一通信装置。其中,第三态还可以称为非激活态。第一通信装置可以根据自身的状态类型确定合适的CORESET,避免在多个CORESET同时进行盲检,从而能够降低第一通信装置的复杂度。
示例性地,状态类型与CORESET之间的关联关系可以参见表6。
表6
Figure PCTCN2022106428-appb-000006
表6中,状态类型为空闲状态的第一通信装置选择CORESET#1;状态类型为第三状态的第一通信装置选择CORESET#2。
可选地,第三通信装置可以将表6的内容发送给第一通信装置。如此,第一通信装置可以根据第三通信装置发送的第二指示信息以及自身的状态类型确定对应的CORESET,避免在多个CORESET同时进行盲检,从而能够降低第一通信装置的复杂度。
可选地,表6所示的内容可以通过协议预定义的方式进行配置。
上述的S410中,第三通信装置向第一通信装置发送的第二指示信息所指示的至少一个CORESET可以是如表6中所示的部分或者全部的CORSET,本申请实施例不限定。
通过向第一通信装置指示多个用于接收下行控制信息的控制资源集合,第一通信装置可以根据参数选择合适的控制资源集合,如此可以避免在多个CORESET同时进行盲检,还能够降低第一通信装置的复杂度。
或者说,通过配置多个用于监测DCI的CORESET,本申请实施例可以解决用于监测DCI的控制信道资源不足的问题,从而可以增强寻呼容量。
第一通信装置可以在相应的参数下确定对应的CORESET,避免在多个CORESET同时进行盲检,从而能够降低第一通信装置的复杂度。另外,通过配置多个用于监测DCI的CORESET,本申请实施例可以提高频率分集增益。
可以理解的是,第一通信装置可以基于上述的这些参数确定合适的控制资源集合,如此,可以降低第一通信装置确定对应的控制资源集合的复杂度。
示例性地,第一通信装置的参数包括波束索引时,第一通信装置可以通过其所在的同步信号块波束索引,直接确定相应的控制资源集合。另外,相邻的同步信号块波束索引可以关联不同(如频域位置不同)的控制资源集合,如此可以降低干扰。
可选地,上述的DCI可以指示用于接收寻呼信息的传输资源之外,还可以指示以下至少一项:
系统消息变更、地震海啸警报系统(earthquake and tsunami warning system,ETWS)信息、商用移动预警系统(commercial mobile alert system,CMAS)消息或者通知停止寻呼检测等。
一个可能的实现方式:
当上述的DCI指示用于接收寻呼信息的传输资源时,寻呼方法400可以与寻呼方法300可以结合并形成新的寻呼方法,具体可以参看发明内容部分的描述。
示例性地,图3所示的寻呼方法300涉及如何同时唤醒第一通信装置与第二通信装置。图4所示的寻呼方法400涉及如何向第一通信装置指示用于接收DCI的控制资源集合。在执行寻呼方法300之前,第三通信装置可以先执行寻呼方法400,第一通信装置可以根据第三通信装置发送的第二指示信息确定用于接收DCI的控制资源集合,继而基于该DCI确定接收前述的寻呼信息#A的资源。
下文将结合图5对本申请实施例的寻呼方法500进行描述。
图5是本申请实施例的寻呼方法500的交互流程图。图5中的方法流程可以由第一通信装置/第三通信装置执行,或者由安装于第一通信装置/第三通信装置中的具有相应功能的模块和/或器件(例如,芯片或集成电路等)执行,本申请实施例不限定。下文以第一通信装置/第三通信装置为例进行说明。寻呼方法500的执行主体为第一通信装置与第三通信装置。第一通信装置可以为终端设备120,第三通信装置可以为网络设备110。如图5所示,寻呼方法500包括:
S510、第三通信装置向第一通信装置发送配置信息#A,用于配置传输资源#A与至少一个传输资源#B。
相应地,第一通信装置接收来自第三通信装置的配置信息#A。
具体地,第一通信装置根据第三通信装置发送的配置信息分别接收来自于不同通信装置的下行控制信息与寻呼信息,如此,本申请实施例可以实现第一通信装置在不同于用于接收下行控制信息的传输资源上进行寻呼信息的接收,如此,可以克服现有的用于发送寻呼信息的物理下行共享信道资源不足的问题。
具体来说,第一通信装置可以根据第二传输资源接收寻呼信息,且根据第一传输资源接收到的下行控制信息用于指示接收寻呼信息,如此,可以克服现有的用于接收寻呼信息的资源不能超过控制资源集合#0的大小限制,继而增加用于传输寻呼信息的传输资源。
示例性地,配置信息#A所配置的传输资源#A与传输资源#B分别用于指示PDCCH资源与PDSCH资源。PDCCH资源用于第一通信装置接收DCI,该DCI用于指示接收寻呼信息#B。PDSCH资源用于第一通信装置接收寻呼信息#B。为便于描述,本申请实施例以PDCCH资源指代传输资源#A,PDSCH资源指代传输资源#B为例进行描述。
一个可能的实现方式,配置信息#A包括以下至少一项:
PDSCH资源对应的小区标识、PDSCH资源的起始位置与大小、PDSCH资源的资源编号或者PDSCH资源的载波编号。
具体地,PDSCH资源的资源编号是指用于接收寻呼信息#B的PDSCH所在的载波包括多个PDSCH资源时,该PDSCH在该多个PDSCH资源中的位置或者编号。PDSCH资源的载波编号是指第一通信装置可以在多个载波上接收寻呼信息#B,且每个载波支持一个PDSCH资源时,则该PDSCH资源所在的载波在多个载波中的位置或者编号。
第一通信装置可以根据上述所指示的PDSCH资源的相关信息来确定合适的PDSCH资源,并基于该PDSCH资源接收寻呼信息,如此,可以克服现有的用于接收寻呼信息的 资源不能超过控制资源集合#0的大小限制,继而增加用于传输寻呼信息的传输资源。
关于PDCCH资源的配置可以复用现有的机制。例如,PDCCH资源的配置主要包含CORESET配置和搜索空间配置。具体的,CORESET配置会指示CORESET所占据的频域资源,时域符号,是否采用交织等;搜索空间配置会指示周期、时隙、偏置等,用于确定检索的时隙。这些均可以沿用现有的机制。
第一通信装置可以基于上述的这些信息确定第二传输资源更为详细的信息,如此,便于第一通信装置在第二传输资源上接收寻呼信息。
可以理解的是,若一个小区内可配置的PDSCH资源的数量较多时,第三通信装置向第一通信装置新发送的指示信息用于指示PDSCH资源的资源编号的域所占用的比特数量可以根据总的PDSCH资源的数量进行确定。
S520、第一通信装置根据配置信息#A接收来自第三通信装置的下行控制信息与来自第二通信装置的寻呼信息#B。
具体地,第一通信装置可以根据配置信息#A分别接收DCI与寻呼信息#B。其中,该DCI来自于第三通信装置,该寻呼信息#B来自于第二通信装置。
第一通信装置所接收的DCI可以是由第三通信装置发送的,第一通信装置所接收的寻呼信息#B可以是由第二通信装置发送的,即:第三通信装置向第一通信装置发送DCI,用于指示此为寻呼指示,第二通信装置向第一通信装置发送寻呼信息#B。如此,本申请实施例可以增加用于承载寻呼信息的PDSCH资源的容量或者数量。
具体地,第一通信装置根据第三通信装置发送的配置信息分别接收来自于不同通信装置的DCI与寻呼信息#B,如此,本申请实施例可以实现第一通信装置在不同于用于接收DCI的传输资源的传输资源上进行寻呼信息#B的接收,如此,可以克服现有的用于发送寻呼信息的PDSCH资源不足的问题。
具体来说,第一通信装置可以根据第二传输资源接收寻呼信息#B,且根据第一传输资源接收到的DCI用于指示接收寻呼信息#B,如此,可以克服现有的用于接收寻呼信息的资源不能超过CORESET#0的大小限制,继而增加用于传输寻呼信息的传输资源。
一个可能的实现方式中,PDCCH资源对应的载波与PDSCH资源对应的载波不同。如此,可以支持寻呼信息的跨载波调度。
一个可能的实现方式,第一通信装置接收来自第三通信装置的第三指示信息,用于指示PDCCH资源的准共址(quasi co-location,QCL)与PDSCH资源的QCL是否相同。
如此,第一通信装置通过第三指示信息确定PDCCH资源的QCL与PDSCH资源的QCL不同时,即可确定PDCCH资源对应的载波与PDSCH资源对应的载波是不同的。
具体来说,第一通信装置可以根据第三指示信息指示的第一传输资源与第二传输资源的QCL是否相同来确定在接收寻呼信息时能否复用接收DCI时的QCL信息。例如,若相同,则可以复用接收下行控制信息的准共址信息;若不相同,则不复用接收下行控制信息的准共址信息。
可选地,第一通信装置可以接收来自第三通信装置的寻呼信息#B与DCI,也可以接收来自第三通信装置的寻呼信息#B和来自第二通信装置的DCI。对于后者,第一通信装置用于接收寻呼信息#B与DCI的波束是不同的。第三通信装置可以在第三指示信息(例如,第三指示信息为DCI)中定义用于指示寻呼信息#B与DCI的QCL是否相同的域。
进一步地,第三通信装置还可以通过向第一通信装置发送第四指示信息,来指示第一通信装置与第二通信装置进行通信的波束信息。该波束信息用于第一通信装置接收寻呼信息#B。具体见下文描述。
一个可能的实现方式,第一通信装置接收来自第三通信装置的第四指示信息,用于指示第一通信装置与第二通信装置进行通信的波束信息。
例如,第三通信装置可以通过DCI指示或者高层配置结合DCI指示的方式向第一通信装置进行指示第一通信装置与第二通信装置进行通信的波束信息。
具体来说,第一通信装置接收DCI与寻呼信息#B是来自不同的通信装置,因此,第一通信装置可以通过上述的第四指示信息确定用于接收寻呼信息#B的波束信息,即:该第四指示信息指示第一通信装置接收寻呼信息#B应该用什么样的波束来接收,从而避免第一通信装置接收不到该寻呼信息#B。
一个可能的实现方式,第一通信装置通过确定用于接收DCI的载波与用于接收寻呼信息#B的载波是否是同一载波而确定PDCCH资源的QCL与PDSCH资源的QCL是否相同。如果是同一载波,PDCCH资源的QCL与PDSCH资源的QCL相同;如果不是同一载波,PDCCH资源的QCL与PDSCH资源的QCL不同。
一个可能的实现方式,加扰PDCCH资源的小区标识与加扰PDSCH资源的小区标识是不同的。
通过使用不同的小区标识加扰不同的传输资源,本申请实施例可以支持复用当前的实现方式,如此,降低寻呼信息的跨载波调度场景的实现复杂度。
如此,第一通信装置可以根据加扰PDCCH资源所用的小区标识与加扰PDSCH资源所用的小区标识不同,来确定PDCCH资源对应的载波与PDSCH资源对应的载波是否相同,如此,可以支持寻呼信息的跨载波调度。
应理解,第一通信装置所接收的DCI与寻呼信息#B可能是来自于不同的通信装置。例如,第一通信装置从第三通信装置接收DCI,从第二通信装置接收寻呼信息#B。因此,第一通信装置在接收DCI与寻呼信息#B之间可能会存在时延。
一般地,引起时延的因素包括以下至少一个:
第一通信装置接收来自第三通信装置与第二通信装置的下行信号的到达时间差、第三通信装置与第二通信装置之间的定时差、第一通信装置切换载波的处理时间等。
示例性地,假定PDCCH资源的最后一个符号的时间为n,则PDSCH资源的起始时刻不早于n+T,其中,T可以理解为二者的时延。第三通信装置可以通过第三指示信息或者第四指示信息来指示PDCCH资源与PDSCH资源之间的时间间隔T。
示例性地,第三指示信息或者第四指示信息用于指示以下至少一项:
PDCCH资源与PDSCH资源之间间隔的时间单元的数量;或者,PDSCH资源的循环前缀(cyclic prefix,CP)长度。
可选地,时间单元可以包括以下至少一项:
时隙,微时隙(mini-slot),非时隙(non-slot),或者,符号。
具体地,NR通信系统支持微时隙的调度,微时隙可以开始于一个时隙的任意一个OFDM符号。其中,下行的微时隙可以是2、4、7个OFDM符号,上行微时隙可以是1-14个OFDM以内的任意长度。其中,微时隙又可以称非时隙。
例如,第三指示信息或者第四指示信息包括字段#A,用于指示PDCCH资源与PDSCH资源之间间隔的时隙数量。
例如,第三指示信息或者第四指示信息包括字段#B,用于指示PDCCH资源与PDSCH资源之间间隔的符号数量。
例如,第三指示信息或者第四指示信息包括字段#C,用于指示PDSCH资源的CP长度。
上述的字段#A、字段#B与字段#C之间可以相互组合,例如,第三指示信息或者第四指示信息通过字段#A与字段#B的组合指示PDCCH资源与PDSCH资源之间的时隙间隔数量与符号间隔数量;例如,第三指示信息或者第四指示信息通过字段#A与字段#C的组合指示PDCCH资源与PDSCH资源之间的时隙间隔数量与PDSCH资源的CP长度。例如,第三指示信息或者第四指示信息通过字段#A、字段#B与字段#C的组合指示PDCCH资源与PDSCH资源之间的时隙间隔数量、符号间隔数量以及PDSCH资源的CP长度。再例如,第三指示信息或者第四指示信息通过字段#B与字段#C的组合指示PDCCH资源与PDSCH资源之间的符号间隔数量与PDSCH资源的CP长度。
示例性地,第三指示信息或者第四指示信息为DCI时,其可以包含两段指示:时隙(slot)指示+符号(symbol)指示,即:可以有两个域,分别用于指示间隔的时隙数目和符号数目。
可选地,可以在协议预定义的用于寻呼指示的时域资源分配表格中指示PDCCH资源与PDSCH资源之间的间隔的时隙数量,且支持间隔的时隙数目为非负整数。
可选的,DCI还可以指示PDSCH资源的CP长度。对于同载波调度和跨载波调度场景,本申请实施例支持不同的CP长度,且可以协议预定义多个不同的CP长度,并通过DCI指示PDSCH资源的CP长度。
如此,本申请实施例可以向第一通信装置指示PDCCH资源与PDSCH资源之间的时延。
通过指示第一传输资源与第二传输资源之间的时延,本申请实施例可以使得第一通信装置可以在合适的时间接收第二传输资源,避免第一通信装置因提前接收寻呼信息却接收失败的情况的出现,另外,这也可以降低第一通信装置的能耗。
可以理解的是,上述的寻呼方法可以相互组合成新的技术方案,例如,寻呼方法300与寻呼方法400可以组合成新的技术方案,具体可以参考发明内容部分的内容,在此不再赘述。
