Description

Method for determining paging packet, terminal equipment and network equipment

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of communications, and more particularly, to a method, terminal device and network device for determining paging packets.

Background

Paging (Paging) is a main function to enable a network to page a User Equipment (UE) through a Paging message (PAGING MESSAGE) in a radio resource control IDLE (RRC IDLE) state or a radio resource control inactive (RRC INACTIVE) state of the UE, or to notify the UE of a system message change or earthquake tsunami/public warning information (applicable to all RRC states of the UE, including a connected state) through a short message (short message).

For a UE in RRC IDLE state or RRC INACTIVE state, since there is no other data communication between the UE and the network, the UE may discontinuously monitor the Paging channel for power saving, i.e. employ Paging discontinuous reception (Paging DRX, paging Discontinuous Reception) mechanism. Under Paging DRX mechanism, the UE only needs to monitor Paging during one Paging occasion (PO, paging Occasion) within each DRX cycle (DRX cycle). In a system, when there are more UEs and the network cannot allocate each UE to a different PO, there are cases where multiple UEs correspond to one PO. If the network needs to page a UE on the PO, it may cause other UEs that do not have paging messages to perform additional blind detection, and for those UEs that do not have paging messages, the additional blind detection is a paging false alarm.

Specific embodiments are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Embodiment one:

The network device configures a plurality of paging resources, and each paging resource configuration corresponds to a different paging packet (paging packet) of the same PO and is used for sending paging information to UEs mapped to different paging packets of the same PO. Meanwhile, the network device allocates a weight value for each paging packet, for example, a terminal distribution weight value; in the following embodiment, the terminal distribution weight of the paging packet is denoted as W (i), where i is the index of the paging packet. The UE may determine its own corresponding paging packet according to the identity (UE ID) of each terminal device and the weight of the paging packet, where the method is: and the UE preferentially selects the paging packet with the small corresponding index number according to the weight of each paging packet under the condition that the UE number distribution proportion determined by the weight is not exceeded. And under the condition that the number of the UE mapped to the paging packet with the small corresponding index number reaches the UE number distribution proportion determined by the weight, the UE selects the paging packet corresponding to the next index number. The method specifically comprises the following steps:

Step one: the UE receives network configuration information and configures related parameters, and the method specifically comprises the following steps:

a) And configuring a plurality of paging resources, wherein the plurality of paging resources are respectively used for sending paging information for the UE of different paging packets mapped to the same PO. The plurality of Paging resources determined by the configuration information have the following characteristics:

1) For one PO, each of the plurality of paging resources corresponds to S consecutive PDCCH listening occasions. S is the number of SSB actually transmitted by network broadcasting;

2) The distinguishing manner of the multiple groups of paging resources can be at least one of the following manners:

-method 1: multiple groups of paging resources corresponding to the same PO are not overlapped with each other in the time domain;

-method 2: multiple groups of paging resources corresponding to the same PO are not overlapped with each other on the frequency domain;

3) Assuming that the number of paging packets is Nn (Nn > 1), the number of paging resource configurations is:

-method 1: configuration of Nn paging resources

-Method 2: configuration of nn+1 paging resources

B) Determining the corresponding relation between a plurality of groups of configured paging resources and Nn paging groups in a predefined or network configuration mode:

Case 1: for the case of configuring Nn paging resources

The n paging resources are in one-to-one correspondence with the n paging packets. For a UE without paging packet information (e.g., a version of Rel-15/16 UE), a default paging resource (e.g., the 1 st paging resource) is allocated.

Case 2: for the case of configuring nn+1 paging resources

For a UE without paging packet information (e.g., a version Rel-15/16 UE), the corresponding paging resource is 1 st.

For the UE with the paging packet information, the indexes of the paging packets are respectively 2 to Nn+1, and the 2 nd to Nn+1 th paging resources are respectively in one-to-one correspondence with the paging packets with the indexes of 2 to Nn+1.

C) Each paging packet is respectively configured with a weight W (i), wherein i is an index of the paging packet. The weight W (i) is used to determine the distribution ratio of the number of UEs mapped to different paging packets, and a larger W (i) indicates a larger number of UEs mapped to the paging packet. W (i) is a positive integer.

Case 1: for the case of configuring Nn paging resources:

The n number of paging resources are respectively in one-to-one correspondence with paging packets with indexes of 1 to Nn, and each paging packet is configured with a weight W (i), wherein i=1, 2, … and Nn.

Case 2: for the case of configuring nn+1 paging resources:

The 2 nd to nn+1 th paging resources are respectively in one-to-one correspondence with paging packets with indexes of 2 to nn+1, and each paging packet is configured with a weight W (i), wherein i=2, 3, … and nn+1.

Step two: the UE determines the paging packet where the UE is based on the UEID and the weight W (i) of each paging packet, and the method is as follows:

a) For a UE of release Rel-15/16, it is determined that the UE belongs to the first paging packet.

B) For Rel-17 and subsequent versions of UE:

Case 1: for the case of configuring Nn paging resources

The paging group index corresponding to the UE is the minimum index n (n is more than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to Nn) meeting the following conditions.

floor(UE_ID/(N*Ns))mod W＜W(1)+W(2)+…+W(n)

Wherein, the UE_ID is 5G-S-TMSI mod 1024, N is the PF number in a paging DRX period, ns is the PO number in a PF, W (n) is the weight of paging packet n, W is the sum of the weights corresponding to all the N paging packets, namely W=W (1) +W (2) + … +W (Nn)

Case 2: for the case of configuring nn+1 paging resources

The paging group index corresponding to the UE is the minimum index n (n is more than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to Nn+1) meeting the following conditions.

floor(UE_ID/(N*Ns))mod W＜W(2)+W(3)+…+W(n)

Wherein, the UE_ID is 5G-S-TMSI mod 1024, N is the PF number in a paging DRX period, ns is the PO number in a PF, W (n) is the weight of paging packet n, and W is the sum of the weights corresponding to all paging packets (i.e. paging packets with indexes of 2 to Nn+1), namely W=W (2) +W (3) + … +W (Nn+1)

Step three: the UE listens to the paging channel on the PO. In particular, the method comprises the steps of,

And for the UE with the paging packet information, monitoring the PDCCH scrambled by the P-RNTI on the paging resource corresponding to the paging packet to which the UE belongs.

For a UE without paging packet information, the PDCCH scrambled by the P-RNTI is monitored on a default paging resource.

The paging resource includes a plurality of PDCCH listening occasions.

Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of determining an effect of a paging packet according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 4, one PO corresponds to 3 paging packets, the indexes of which are 2, 3 and 4, and the terminal distribution weights of which are 1, 3 and 2. 4 paging resources are configured, and indexes of the 4 paging resources are respectively 1, 2, 3 and 4, wherein the paging resources 2, 3 and 4 correspond to paging packets 2, 3 and 4 respectively, and the paging resource 1 is used for sending paging information for the UE without paging packet information.

In this embodiment, assume that the number of PFs included in one paging DRX cycle is 1, and the number of POs included in one PF is 1. According to the above configuration, UE with UE id=0 belongs to paging packet 2, UE with UE ids=1, 2, 3 belongs to paging packet 3, UE with UE ids=4, 5 belongs to paging packet 3, and so on. As shown in fig. 4, the UE number ratio of the three paging packets is 1:3:2, which is consistent with the distribution ratio specified by the terminal distribution weight.

For different UE, the network equipment sends the paging information of the UE on the paging resource corresponding to the paging packet to which the UE belongs; accordingly, the UE listens on the paging resource corresponding to the paging packet to which the UE belongs, thereby reducing unnecessary paging reception.

Embodiment two:

The network device configures a plurality of paging resources, and each paging resource configuration corresponds to a different paging packet (paging packet) of the same PO and is used for sending paging information to UEs mapped to different paging packets of the same PO. Meanwhile, the network device allocates a weight value for each paging packet, for example, a terminal distribution weight value; in the following embodiment, the terminal distribution weight of the paging packet is denoted as W (i), where i is the index of the paging packet. The UE may determine its own corresponding paging packet according to the identity (UE ID) of each terminal device and the weight of the paging packet, where the method is: under the condition that the weight of each paging packet does not exceed the UE number distribution proportion determined by the weight, the UE is preferentially mapped to each paging packet meeting the conditions in sequence from small to large according to the UEID based on a fairness principle, namely: the UE maps to each paging packet with the corresponding weight value not less than 1 in sequence from small to large according to the UE ID, and maps to each paging packet with the corresponding weight value not less than 2 in sequence after traversing all the paging packets with the corresponding weight value not less than 1 is completed, and so on. The method specifically comprises the following steps:

Step one: the UE receives the network configuration information and configures Paging related parameters, and this step is the same as the step one of the first embodiment, and will not be described herein.

Step two: the UE determines the paging packet where the UE is based on the UE ID and the weight W (i) of each paging packet, and the method is as follows:

B) For Rel-17 and subsequent versions of UE:

First, the minimum k (the maximum value of 1.ltoreq.k.ltoreq.W (i)) satisfying the following conditions is determined

Floor (UE_ID/(N×Ns)) mod W < W (i) number of paging packets not smaller than 1

+W (i) number of paging packets not less than 2+ …

+W (i) number of paging packets not smaller than k

Then, j is determined according to k, and the determination mode is as follows:

if k=1, j=floor (ue_id/(n×ns)) mod w+1

If k > 1, j=floor (ue_id/(n×ns)) mod W-m+1;

wherein,

M=W (i) number of paging packets not less than 1+

…+

W (i) number of paging packets not smaller than k-1

Finally, according to the k and j, determining the paging group index n corresponding to the UE as: w (i) is not less than the index corresponding to the j-th paging packet of k's paging packets.

Wherein, the UE_ID is 5G-S-TMSI mod 1024, N is the PF number in a paging DRX period, ns is the PO number in a PF, W (n) is the weight of paging packet n, and W is the sum of the weights corresponding to all the N paging packets.

For the case where the indexes of the Nn paging packets are 1 to Nn, respectively, w=w (1) +w (2) + … +w (Nn);

For the case where the indexes of the Nn paging packets are 2 to nn+1, respectively, w=w (2) +w (3) + … +w (nn+1).

Step three: the UE listens to the paging channel on the PO. The specific manner is the same as that of the third step of the first embodiment, and will not be described here again.

Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of determining an effect of a paging packet according to a second embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 5, one PO corresponds to 3 paging packets, the indexes of which are 2, 3 and 4, and the terminal distribution weights of which are 1, 3 and 2. 4 paging resources are configured, and indexes of the 4 paging resources are respectively 1, 2, 3 and 4, wherein the paging resources 2, 3 and 4 correspond to paging packets 2, 3 and 4 respectively, and the paging resource 1 is used for sending paging information for the UE without paging packet information.

In this embodiment, assume that the number of PFs included in one paging DRX cycle is 1, and the number of POs included in one PF is 1. According to the above configuration, UEs with UE ids=0, 1, 2 belong to paging packets 2, 3, and 4, respectively, UEs with UE ids=3, 4 belong to paging packets 3 and 4, respectively, UEs with UE id=5 belong to paging packet 3, and so on. As shown in fig. 5, the UE number ratio of the three paging packets is 1:3:2, which is consistent with the distribution ratio specified by the terminal distribution weight.

The embodiment of the application also provides a method for determining paging packets, and fig. 6 is a flowchart of implementation of a method 600 for determining paging packets according to an embodiment of the application, including the following steps:
