Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of mobile communication, in particular to an information sending method, an information receiving method and equipment.

Background

In the field of mobile communication technology, in some scenarios, a terminal (e.g., a smart phone, a PAD, etc.) may need to actively request a network to configure certain parameters. For example, the terminal may generate too much heat for some reasons, and the temperature of the terminal itself may exceed the normal operating temperature range, which may increase the power consumption of the terminal and even cause fire. In order to reduce power consumption of the terminal when the heat generation amount is too large and reduce a security risk, it is necessary to perform adaptive processing on the terminal when the terminal is overheated. The network (e.g., base station) may or may not respond to the request by the terminal, resulting in an inconsistency between the network behavior and the terminal's expectations. The above interaction process usually occurs between the base station and the terminal, and at present, the prior art does not support a technical scheme of performing Operation, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) management Operation on the terminal in the above scenario.

The following description provides examples and does not limit the scope, applicability, or configuration set forth in the claims. Changes may be made in the function and arrangement of elements discussed without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure. Various examples may omit, substitute, or add various procedures or components as appropriate. For example, the described methods may be performed in an order different than described, and various steps may be added, omitted, or combined. In addition, features described with reference to certain examples may be combined in other examples.

As described in the background art, the prior art does not support a technical solution for performing OAM management operations on a terminal in some scenarios (e.g., when the terminal is overheated).

Taking the scenario of terminal overheating as an example, generally, the base station may configure the terminal to report the overheating configuration assistance information (overheating configuration), and after the terminal detects the overheating problem, the terminal may report the overheating configuration assistance information to the network, for example, the terminal may report requests for reducing carriers (redmaxccs), reducing bandwidths (redmaxbw), reducing transmission layer numbers (redmaxmimo-Layers), and the like. The base station can configure some power-saving operations for the terminal according to actual conditions so as to reduce the power consumption of the terminal and relieve the overheating problem.

Although the base station can report the overheating configuration auxiliary information after the configuration terminal detects the overheating problem, there is no requirement for the network side behavior at present. That is, the terminal reports an overheating problem and the network is expected to provide a solution, but the network may not respond to the terminal at all, which may result in a mismatch between the network behavior and the network behavior expected by the terminal. In addition, since only the base station and the terminal participate in the above interaction process, and the network administration and maintenance (OAM) does not participate, the related network management operation cannot be performed.

The embodiment of the invention provides an information sending method, which can enable a network manager to know the influence of the current terminal configuration parameters on a terminal by reporting information to the network manager through the terminal or a base station, thereby better configuring the parameters for the terminal.

Referring to fig. 1, an information sending method provided in an embodiment of the present invention is applied to a first terminal, and includes:

and step 11, the first terminal records and sends the first information to the network.

Optionally, in step 11, the first information is sent to a network, and specifically, the first information may be sent to a network manager, a core network element, or a base station. The first terminal sends the first information to the network management/core network, and the first information is forwarded through the base station. In this embodiment of the present invention, the first terminal may record the first information, and send the first information to a network when a pre-configured sending opportunity/sending condition is satisfied.

Here, the first information may include at least one of the following, and the first terminal may record at least the following information and transmit the recorded information carried in the first information to the network when a pre-configured transmission opportunity/transmission condition is satisfied:

a) and sending the configuration auxiliary information or the indication information and/or the content of the configuration auxiliary information or the indication information to the network.

Here, the configuration assistance information or the indication information is information that the first terminal has sent to the network (e.g. the first network device, which may be specifically a base station), and is generally sent to the network when the first terminal has a preset event or is in a preset state. The first terminal may report to the network whether the terminal has sent the configuration auxiliary information or the indication information to the network.

The first terminal may report, to a network, content of the configuration auxiliary information or the indication information sent by the first terminal, where the content may be the configuration auxiliary information or the indication information itself, or information extracted from the configuration auxiliary information or the indication information. The configuration auxiliary information is generally information that requests the network to configure the target parameter when a preset event occurs or the first terminal is in a preset state, and optionally, the configuration auxiliary information also carries a target value of the target parameter requested by the first terminal. The indication information is information indicating to the network that the first terminal has a preset event or is in a preset state (e.g., an overheat state), so that after receiving the configuration auxiliary information or the indication information, the network can respond to the configuration auxiliary information or the indication information to perform targeted configuration on the relevant parameters of the terminal.

Specifically, the configuration auxiliary information or the indication information includes at least one of the following information: the overheating configuration auxiliary information or the overheating indication information and the power saving configuration auxiliary information or the power saving indication information may also include other information besides the above information, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention. In general, the overheating configuration assistance information may include a target value of the first terminal for the target parameter.

Taking an overheating scenario as an example, the overheating configuration auxiliary information or indication information may be overheating configuration auxiliary information or overheating indication information for requesting to perform heat reduction processing on the target parameter. In the embodiment of the invention, the terminal can perform overheat detection according to the prior art, and when overheat is detected, the terminal generates overheat configuration auxiliary information or overheat indication information for requesting to perform heat reduction processing on the target parameter and sends the overheat configuration auxiliary information or the overheat indication information to the base station. The overheating configuration assistance information may include a target value for the target parameter. The base station may not respond to the over-temperature configuration auxiliary information or the indication information, and at this time, the response mode of the over-temperature configuration auxiliary information or the indication information is not response. The base station may respond to the overheating configuration auxiliary information or the indication information and return the configuration value of the target parameter, and the specific configuration value may be the same as the target value (in this case, the response mode is a complete response) or different (in this case, the response mode is a partial response)).

Specifically, the overheating configuration auxiliary information may include at least one of: first request information for reducing the number of carriers; second request information for reducing the bandwidth; and third request information for reducing the number of transmission layers. At this time, the target parameters include the number of carriers, bandwidth, the number of transmission layers, and the like.

The first request message may request a reduction of the number of carriers to a first desired value. For example, the terminal reports a reduce dlcc of 1, which indicates that the terminal desires to reduce the number of downlink carriers to 1. Similarly, the second request message may request a reduction of bandwidth to a second desired value. The third request message may request a reduction of the number of transmission layers to a third desired value. Each of the expected values may be a value determined by the terminal according to the temperature, the remaining power, the current service, and other factors. Of course, the above expected value is only the value expected by the terminal, and whether it can be configured to the expected value finally depends on the subsequent configuration operation of the network.

The first terminal may record the configuration assistance information or the indication information sent to the base station, and then send the first information including the configuration assistance information or the indication information to the network when the first information needs to be sent to the network.

b) And the network responds to the configuration or reconfiguration information fed back by the configuration auxiliary information or the indication information.

The network may respond to the configuration assistance information or the indication information in a), and feedback the configuration or reconfiguration information for the configuration assistance information or the indication information to the first terminal. The configuration or reconfiguration information typically includes configuration information for related parameters. In particular, the response mode may include partial response, complete response, or no response.

c) Time information when the configuration or reconfiguration information fed back by the network is received.

Here, the first information may further include a specific time when the first terminal receives the configuration or reconfiguration information in c) above.

d) And the cell information where the first terminal is located when the configuration auxiliary information or the indication information is sent to the network.

For example, when the first terminal detects heat generation and transmits the over-temperature configuration assistance information, it may record cell information where the first terminal is currently located, such as a cell identifier of a currently camped or connected cell. The cell identity may comprise one or more of the following identities: public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), Physical Cell Identity (PCI), Cell id (Cell id), and Global Cell identity (CGI).

e) And sending the geographical position information of the first terminal when the auxiliary configuration information or the indication information is sent to a network.

For example, when the first terminal detects heat generation and transmits the overheating configuration assistance information, the current geographical location coordinates of the first terminal, such as GPS coordinate information, may also be recorded.

f) Time information when the configuration assistance information or the indication information is transmitted to the network.

For example, the first terminal may further record current time information when detecting heat generation and transmitting the overheating configuration assistance information.

g) And the configuration auxiliary information or the indication information is sent to the configuration or reconfiguration information sent by the network before the network.

Here, the current value of the target parameter before the configuration auxiliary information or the indication information is sent to the network is generally configured according to the configuration or reconfiguration information sent by the network and received by the first terminal last time, where the configuration or reconfiguration information sent by the network last time may be carried in the first information and sent to the network, so that the network may reconfigure the terminal according to the configuration or reconfiguration information of the previous time.

Through the above steps, the first terminal may send the first information to the network in the embodiment of the present invention, so that the network may obtain the interaction information between the first terminal and the network in the relevant parameter configuration process, learn the influence of the current first terminal configuration parameter on the terminal state (such as the electric quantity or the temperature, etc.), and provide the support of the relevant data for the subsequent network to configure the first terminal.

According to at least one embodiment of the present invention, the first information may further include:

h) and configuring a response mode of the auxiliary information or the indication information.

The response mode of the configuration auxiliary information or the indication information comprises a complete response, a partial response and an unresponsive. Wherein:

When the base station does not respond to the configuration auxiliary information or the indication information, the base station may also feed back a reason of non-response to the first terminal, where the reason may include that it is not suitable for reducing the DLCC because the service rate needs to be ensured, and at this time, the first terminal may also record the reason and may report the reason to the network manager when reporting the first information.

Similarly, when the base station partially responds to the configuration auxiliary information or the indication information, the base station may also feed back a reason for the partial response to the first terminal, where the reason may include that the DLCC is reduced to 2 because the service rate needs to be guaranteed, but is not reduced to the expected value 1 requested by the first terminal, and at this time, the first terminal may also record the reason and may report the reason to the network manager when reporting the first information.

i) And the statistical information of the response mode of the auxiliary information or the indication information is configured.

Since the first terminal may send a plurality of configuration assistance information or indication information to the base station, each configuration assistance information or indication information has a corresponding response mode. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the response modes of the configuration auxiliary information or the indication information reported by the first terminal may be counted, so as to obtain the statistical information, including information such as the ratio and/or the number of each response mode. For example, how many times the first terminal reports the reduced dlcc, how many times the reduced maxbw, and how many times the reduced maxmimo-Layers to the base station.

According to at least one embodiment of the present invention, in order to facilitate management of the terminal by the network management side, the first terminal may send the configuration auxiliary information or the indication information in the item a. Optionally, one or more of the above b to i may also be transmitted.

In some embodiments of the invention, the first terminal may record the first information in the following manner: the first terminal starts recording the first information from time T1 when the configuration assistance information or the indication information is transmitted to the network, and stops recording at time T1+ T1, wherein the T1 is configured or predefined by the network. For example, the first terminal may start a timer after transmitting the configuration assistance information or the indication information to the base station (e.g., when the reduced dlcc is transmitted to the base station as 1), and record a response mode of the configuration assistance information or the indication information as an unresponsive if the timer expires without receiving a response from the base station, and then stop recording. That is, the first information is information recorded by the first terminal between the time T1 and the time T1+ T1, and the content thereof may include one or more of the above a to i.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the first terminal may send its recorded first information to the network when the sending opportunity of the first information arrives. The specific sending time may be a preset sending period, or a preset event triggers sending of the first information.

According to at least one embodiment of the present invention, before step 11, the first terminal may further receive a first configuration message sent by a base station, where the first configuration message is used to configure the first information to be recorded and/or reported by the first terminal, for example, configure the first terminal to report one or more of a to j. Specifically, the base station may send the first configuration message to the first terminal through a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message.

According to at least one embodiment of the present invention, the first configuration message may be further configured to configure a condition that the first terminal reports the configuration auxiliary information or the indication information to the base station, where the condition may specifically be that a certain timer expires or a certain preset event is sent to a predetermined frequency.

For example, the first configuration message may further configure at least one of the following timers:

1) a first timer for triggering a single transmission of the first information.

Here, the first timer may trigger the first terminal to send the first information to the network a single time. For example, the first terminal may start timing after receiving the configuration information of the first timer, and send the first information to the network when the time is out.

2) A second timer for triggering the periodic sending of the first information.

Here, the second timer may trigger the first terminal to periodically transmit the first information to the network. For example, the first terminal may start timing after receiving the configuration information of the second timer, and when the time is out, send the first information to the network and restart the second timer.

For another example, the first configuration message may also be used to configure: triggering a preset event for sending the first information, wherein the preset event comprises at least one of the following events:

1) in the statistical information of the response modes of the configuration auxiliary information or the indication information reported by the first terminal, if the number of occurrences or the proportion of the preset response mode reaches a preset first value, for example, if N1 non-responses or partial responses (i.e., the configuration of the responses is different from the requirements of the terminal) occur, reporting is triggered, and N1 is a preconfigured value.

2) In the statistical information of the response modes of the configuration auxiliary information or the indication information reported by the first terminal, the number of times or the duty ratio of the preset response mode of a certain cell reaches a preset second value, for example, if N2 times of non-response or partial response (i.e., the configuration of the response is different from the requirement of the terminal) occurs in the certain cell, reporting is triggered, and N2 is a preset value.

According to at least one embodiment of the present invention, after step 11, the first terminal may further receive configuration or reconfiguration information sent by the network, and configure the relevant parameters according to the configuration or reconfiguration information.

How the first terminal reports the first information in the embodiment of the present invention is described above. Correspondingly, the embodiment of the invention also provides a method for receiving the first information at the side of the second network equipment, and the second network equipment can be a base station, a core network element or a network management equipment. As shown in fig. 2, the method includes:

step 21, the second network device receives first information of the first terminal sent by the first terminal, where the first information includes at least one of the following:

a) the first terminal sends the configuration auxiliary information or the indication information to the network, and/or the configuration auxiliary information or the indication information.

b) The network responds to the configuration or reconfiguration information fed back by the configuration auxiliary information or the indication information;

c) the time information when the first terminal receives the configuration or reconfiguration information fed back by the network;

d) the cell information where the first terminal is located when the configuration auxiliary information or the indication information is sent to the network;

e) the geographical location information of the first terminal when the configuration auxiliary information or the indication information is sent to the network;

f) the time information when the first terminal sends the configuration auxiliary information or the indication information to the network;

For detailed description of the above information, reference may be made to the above description, and further description is omitted here.

Through the steps, the second network device can obtain the interactive information between the first terminal and the network in the parameter configuration process, know the influence of the current configuration parameters of the first terminal on the electric quantity, the temperature and the like of the terminal, and provide support of relevant data for subsequent configuration processing of overheating/power saving and the like of the second network device on the first terminal.

According to at least one embodiment of the present invention, the first information may include at least the configuration assistance information or the indication information in item a above. Optionally, one or more of the above b to g may be included.

According to at least one embodiment of the present invention, after step 21, the second network device may further adjust a target parameter (e.g., a power saving configuration parameter) of the first terminal according to the first information of the first terminal and issue the target parameter to the first terminal, so as to implement management of terminal overheating/power saving. The specific configuration of the target parameter may be configured according to parameters such as a current service, a remaining power, and a temperature of the terminal, which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present invention.

In the method, the terminal reports the first information to the network. According to another embodiment of the present invention, a first network device, such as a base station, may receive and record configuration assistance information or indication information reported by a terminal, and then report first information of the first terminal to another second network device.
