In order to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the embodiments of the present disclosure enumerate multiple implementations to clearly describe the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Of course, those skilled in the art can understand that the multiple embodiments provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be executed alone or in combination with the methods of other embodiments in the embodiments of the present disclosure. They can also be executed alone or in combination. It is then executed together with some methods in other related technologies; the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit this.

As shown in Figure 2, On Duration appears periodically, and the specific period is implemented by the configuration of network-side equipment such as base stations. In order to achieve the purpose of UE power saving and avoid excessive transmission delay between the base station and the UE, the concepts of DRX Long Cycle and DRX Short Cycle are introduced. In the DRX short cycle, On Duration occurs more frequently than in the DRX long cycle. If the UE is configured with both DRX long cycle and DRX short cycle, after the DRX short cycle is started, the UE will listen according to the DRX long cycle after the DRX end cycle timer (drx-ShortCycletimer) of the DRX short cycle times out.

Among them, the starting point of OnDuration for DRX long period and DRX short period is as follows:

If DRX short period is used in the DRX group, and the following expression is satisfied:

[(SFN×10)+subframe number]modulo(drx-ShortCycle)＝(drx-StartOffset)modulo(drx-ShortCycle);

After delaying drx-SlotOffset at the starting position of the subframe, start the DRX duration timer (drx-OnDurationtimer).

If DRX long period is used in the DRX group, and the following expression is satisfied:

[(SFN×10)+subframe number]modulo(drx-LongCycle)＝drx-StartOffset:

○drx-OnDurationtimer: The time interval starting from the DRX cycle, this period is the active time (active time)

○drx-SlotOffset: time delay before starting drx-OnDurationtimer

○drx-Inactivitytimer: For the current MAC entity, the duration after the PDCCH indicates a new uplink or downlink transmission.

○drx-RetransmissiontimerDL (used for downlink HARQ (Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request, Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request) process except broadcast): The maximum duration until a downlink retransmission is received.

○ drx-RetransmissiontimerUL (for uplink HARQ process): The maximum duration until the uplink grant for uplink retransmission is received.

○drx-LongCycleStartOffset: Indicates the DRX long cycle (drx-LongCycle) and start offset (drx-StartOffset), and specifies the starting position of the long and short DRX cycles.

○drx-ShortCycle (optional): DRX short cycle.

○drx-ShortCycletimer (optional): The UE adopts the duration number of the DRX short cycle. Indicates how many subframes last in the short period without receiving PDCCH before entering the long period.

○ drx-HARQ-RTT-timerDL (for downlink HARQ except broadcast): The minimum duration before the MAC entity is expected to receive downlink resource allocation control signaling for downlink HARQ retransmission.

○ drx-HARQ-RTT-timerUL (for uplink HARQ process): The minimum duration before the MAC entity is expected to receive uplink grant signaling for uplink HARQ retransmission.

Among them, the value range of DRX long cycle (drx-LongCycle) in the general DRX configuration is (10ms, 20ms, 32ms, 40ms, 60ms, 64ms, 70ms, 80ms, 128ms, 160ms, 256ms, 320ms), DRX short cycle ( The value range of drx-ShortCycle) is (2ms, 3ms, 4ms, 5ms, 6ms, 7ms, 8ms, 10ms, 14ms, 16ms, 20ms, 30ms, 32ms, 35ms, 40ms, 64ms, 80ms, 128ms, 160ms, 256ms, 320ms, 512ms, 640ms).

Extended Reality (XR) business is one of the business types that 5G systems need to support. XR includes AR/VR/Cloud gaming and so on. Typical characteristics of XR services are that for services with a fixed frame rate, there is a fixed period for the service to arrive at the UE, but there will be additional delay jitter (Jitter) above the fixed period, causing the actual data service to arrive at the UE earlier or later. The schematic diagram of the XR service arrival model is shown in Figure 3: (A possible example, the frame rate is 60FPS (Frame per second, frame/second), that is, the period is 16.67ms, and the jitter range is [4, -4]ms)

However, XR services are often composed of multiple data streams, and the period of each data stream is likely to be different.

Therefore, how to make the DRX cycle meet the needs of different cycles of XR data flow is an issue that needs to be solved urgently.

As shown in Figure 4, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information transmission method, which is executed by a UE and includes:

Step 401: Receive DRX configuration information sent by the network side device; wherein the DRX configuration information is used to indicate N DRX short-cycle configuration parameters, where N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2.

Here, the network side equipment can be access network equipment such as a base station, or core network equipment.

In a possible implementation, the DRX configuration information can be determined by the access network device and sent to the UE.

In a possible implementation, the DRX configuration information can be determined by the core network device and sent to the UE through the access network device.

The UE determines N DRX short cycle configuration parameters based on the received DRX configuration information.

The DRX short cycle configuration parameters may be a set of DRX short cycle configuration parameters associated with the DRX short cycle, and one DRX short cycle configuration parameter may be composed of multiple sub-parameters.

Exemplarily, the DRX short cycle configuration parameters may include but are not limited to at least one of the following sub-parameters of the DRX short cycle: cycle (ie, DRX Cycle), duration (OnDuration), discontinuous reception inactivation timer (DRX Inactivitytimer, DRX IAT timer) duration, drx-SlotOffset (i.e., the delay before starting drx-OnDurationtimer), drx-StartOffset (i.e., starting offset), DRX short cycle configuration parameters can also include: short DRX cycle ( Short DRX Cycle), short cycle duration (drx-ShortCycletimer).

In a possible implementation, the short DRX periods are different among different DRX short period configuration parameters.

Network-side equipment can be configured with multiple DRX short-cycle configuration parameters to meet the needs of different services, such as XR services, for different data transmission cycles.

For example, when the data transmission cycle is short, the duration (OnDuration) period in the DRX short cycle configuration parameter with a shorter DRX cycle can be used for transmission to reduce the data transmission delay caused by the long DRX cycle. Improve business real-time performance.

In a possible implementation, the receiving DRX configuration information sent by the network side device includes at least one of the following:

Receive a radio resource control RRC message carrying the DRX configuration information sent by the network side device;

Receive downlink control information DCI carrying the DRX configuration information sent by the network side device;

Receive the media access control control unit MAC CE message carrying the DRX configuration information sent by the network side device.

In a possible implementation, the RRC message may include: an RRC reconfiguration message.

DRX configuration information can be used to indicate a sub-parameter of a DRX short-cycle configuration parameter, or one DRX configuration information can be used to indicate a sub-parameter of a DRX short-cycle configuration parameter, or one DRX configuration information can be used to indicate n All sub-parameters of DRX short-cycle configuration parameters, where n is a positive integer less than or equal to N. The number of sub-parameters that a DRX configuration information can indicate is not limited here.

In a possible implementation, the network side device sends multiple DRX configuration information to the UE, and each DRX configuration information can indicate a sub-parameter of the DRX short period configuration parameter. The network side device can send multiple DRX configuration information to the UE through one signaling, and the network side device can also send multiple DRX configuration information to the UE through multiple signalings. This embodiment is not limited here.

For example, one DRX short cycle configuration parameter may correspond to multiple DRX configuration information, and the multiple DRX configuration information respectively indicates a sub-parameter of the DRX cycle. Among them, each DRX configuration information can be carried by an information element (Informatica Element, IE).

In this way, by configuring multiple DRX short-cycle configuration parameters, DRX can meet the cycle changes of different service data transmission, reduce the data transmission delay caused by the inconsistency between the service data transmission cycle and the DRX cycle, and meet the data transmission needs while saving UE power. , improve data transmission efficiency.

Here, the first information is used to indicate sub-parameters in different DRX short period configurations. That is, the sub-parameters in the DRX short-period configuration are indicated using different first information.

Here, the sub-parameters of different DRX short-period configuration parameters can be configured separately using different DRX configuration information.

In a possible implementation, a piece of DRX configuration information is used to indicate a DRX short-cycle configuration parameter, and different DRX cycles correspond to different DRX configuration information.

In a possible implementation, a piece of DRX configuration information is used to indicate a sub-parameter of a DRX short-period configuration parameter, and the DRX configuration information of different sub-parameters is different.

In a possible implementation, the sub-parameters of different DRX cycles can be the same or different.

For example, the DRX configuration information of each DRX short-period configuration parameter occupies an independent IE.

For example, two sets of DRX short-cycle configuration parameters can be configured on the network side, and the DRX configuration information of each set of DRX short-cycle configuration parameters occupies an independent IE.

The specific configuration is as follows:

The first set of DRX short cycle configuration parameters: cycle1, OnDuration duration 1, DRX IAT timer duration 1; short cycle duration number (drx-ShortCycletimer) 1….

The second set of DRX short cycle configuration parameters: cycle2, OnDuration duration 2, DRX IAT timer duration 2; short cycle duration number drx-ShortCycletimer2….

Here, a piece of second information may be used to indicate the same type of sub-parameters among the M DRX short-period configuration parameters, where M is a positive integer less than or equal to N.

Here, multiple DRX short-period configuration parameters with the same type of sub-parameters can share (multiplex) one DRX configuration information. That is, multiple DRX cycle configuration parameters use the sub-parameters indicated by the same DRX configuration information. Here, one DRX configuration information can indicate one or more sub-parameters.

For example, the network side can configure two sets of DRX short-cycle configuration parameters, of which some sub-parameters can be reused; that is, the reused sub-parameters can be shared by multiple sets of configurations, and other sub-parameters can be configured separately; the specific configuration is as follows:

The first set of DRX short cycle configuration parameters: cycle1, short cycle duration drx-ShortCycletimer1….

The second set of DRX short cycle configuration parameters: cycle2, short cycle duration drx-ShortCycletimer2….

The above sub-parameters are indicated by the DRX configuration information corresponding to each DRX short-period configuration parameter. Other sub-parameters, such as: OnDuration duration, DRX IAT timer duration, etc., can be indicated by the multiplexed DRX configuration information. The multiplexed DRX configuration information can indicate one type or multiple types of sub-parameters. The multiplexed DRX configuration information can be sent separately; the multiplexed DRX configuration information can also belong to a predetermined DRX short cycle, and other DRX short cycles can reuse the multiplexed DRX configuration information of the predetermined DRX short cycle.

As shown in Figure 5, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information transmission method, which is executed by a UE and includes:

Step 501a: Receive validation instruction information, used to indicate validation of at least one of the DRX short-period configuration parameters;

or,

Step 501b: Determine the effective DRX short-cycle configuration parameters based on the communication protocol.

Step 501a and/or step 501b can be implemented separately or in combination with step 401.

The DRX short-cycle configuration parameters indicated by the DRX configuration information may default to the effective DRX short-cycle configuration parameters, or may default to the inactive DRX short-cycle configuration parameters.

The network side device can send validation indication information to the UE to indicate the valid DRX short cycle configuration parameters; the network side device and the UE can also determine the valid DRX short cycle configuration parameters according to the provisions of the communication protocol. For example, the communication protocol may stipulate that the first DRX short-cycle configuration parameter indicated by the DRX configuration information is the effective DRX cycle configuration parameter.

In a possible implementation, the validation indication information may be used to indicate devalidation of at least one of the DRX cycle configuration parameters.

In a possible implementation, the network side can indicate multiple DRX short-cycle configuration parameters through DRX configuration information, and then the network-side device can instruct the UE to use one or more sets of DRX short-cycle configuration parameters through the validation indication information.

In a possible implementation, the network side can indicate multiple DRX short cycle configuration parameters through the DRX configuration information carried in the RRC message, and then the network side device can instruct the UE to use one or more sets of DRX through the validation indication information carried in the DCI. Short cycle configuration parameters.

In a possible implementation, the network side can indicate multiple DRX short-cycle configuration parameters through the DRX configuration information carried in the RRC message, and then the network side device can instruct the UE to use one or more of the sets through the validation indication information carried in the MAC CE. DRX short cycle configuration parameters.
