背景技术 Background technique
第三代合作伙伴项目 ( 3rd Generation Partnership Project, 筒称" 3GPP" ) 作为移动通信领域的重要组织推动了第三代( The Third' Generation,筒称" 3G,, ) 移动通信技术的标准化工作,上行和下行业务的承载都是基于专用信道的。随 着移动通信技术的发展, 3G技术也在不断的发展演进。 高速下行分组接入 ( High Speed Downlink Packet Access, 筒称" HSDPA" )和高速上行分组接入 ( High Speed Uplink Packet Access , 筒称" HSUPA" )就是 3G技术的重要演进。 HSDPA和 HSUPA中的数据包的调度和重传等由基站节点(Node B )控制。  The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), as an important organization in the field of mobile communications, has promoted the standardization of the third generation (The Third' Generation, 3G, ) mobile communication technology. The bearers of uplink and downlink services are all based on dedicated channels. With the development of mobile communication technologies, 3G technologies are also evolving and evolving. High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) and high speed High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) is an important evolution of 3G technology. The scheduling and retransmission of data packets in HSDPA and HSUPA are controlled by the base station node (Node B).
其中, HSUPA又称为 E-DCH, 作为高速上行数据包接入技术, 其除了可 以采用 10亳秒( ms )的传输时间间隔( Transmission Time Interval,简称" ΤΤΓ ) 夕卜, 也可以采用 2 ms ΤΉ实现快速自适应控制。 并且, 同时使用混合自动重 传请求( Hybrid Auto Repeat reQuest, 简称 "HARQ" )和基于 Node B的快速上 行调度技术, 提高了上行的频谱效率, 具有上行传输速率快、传输时延小等明 显的优势, 为实时游戏业务、文件上传、 宽带多媒体业务等分组数据业务的应 用提供了更有效的支持。 HARQ技术综合了前向纠错码和重传, 用于 E-DCH 的物理层快速重传, 并通过初传和重传之间的软合并来提高物理层的译码性 为了用户设备 ( User Equipment, 简称" UE,,) 上行数据的高效率传输, E-DCH新增加了两个上行物理信道和三个下行物理信道, 它们分别是用于承 载用户数据的上行的 E-DCH专用数据传输信道(E-DCH Dedicated Physical Data Channel, 筒称 "E-DPDCH" ); 用于传输伴随物理层信令、 为 E-DPDCH解 调提供伴随信令的上行的 E-DCH专用控制信道(E-DCH Dedicated Physical Control Channel, 简称 "E-DPCCH" ); 用于控制 UE的上行传输速率的 E-DCH 绝对授权信道(E-DCH Absolute Grant Channel, 简称 "E-AGCH" ); E-DCH相 对授权信道(E-DCH Relative Grant Channel, 简称 "E-RGCH" ); 以及用于:^载 上行进程数据传输是否正确的确认 /不确认信息( ACK/NACK )的 E-DCH重传 指示信道( E-DCH HARQ Indicator Channel, 筒称 "E-HICH" )。 Among them, HSUPA is also called E-DCH. As a high-speed uplink packet access technology, it can use a transmission time interval ("Transmission Time Interval" for short), which can also be used for 2 ms. ΤΉ Fast adaptive control is achieved. Also, Hybrid Auto Repeat reQuest (HARQ) and Node B-based fast uplink scheduling technology are used to improve the uplink spectrum efficiency, and the uplink transmission rate is fast. The obvious advantages of small transmission delay provide more effective support for the application of packet data services such as real-time game services, file uploading, and broadband multimedia services. HARQ technology integrates forward error correction code and retransmission for E- The physical layer of the DCH is quickly retransmitted, and the decoding of the physical layer is improved by soft combining between the initial transmission and the retransmission. For user equipment (User Equipment, referred to as "UE,") for efficient transmission of uplink data, E-DCH newly adds two uplink physical channels and three downlink physical channels, which are respectively uplink E for carrying user data. -DCH Dedicated Physical Data Channel (E-DCH Dedicated Physical Data Channel); used for transmitting uplink E-DCH dedicated with physical layer signaling and providing accompanying signaling for E-DPDCH demodulation An E-DCH Absolute Grant Channel (E-DCH Absolute Grant Channel, referred to as "E-AGCH") for controlling the uplink transmission rate of the UE; E-DCH Relative Grant Channel (E-RGCH); and E-DCH weight for: acknowledgment/non-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) of whether the upstream process data transmission is correct The E-DCH HARQ Indicator Channel (E-HICH) is transmitted.
UE中的 E-DCH的媒体访问控制 ( Medium Access Control, 简称" MAC" ) 层结构如图 1所示,通用移动通信***地面无线接入网(UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network, 筒称" UTRAN" )侧的 E-DCH的 MAC层结构图如图 2所示。 E-DCH的 MAC层包括 MAC-e和 MAC-es两个 MAC子层, 并且 MAC-es与 MAC-d相连。 其中, UTRAN侧的 MAC-e实体在 Node B中, MAC-es实体在 服务无线网絡控制器( Serving Radio Network Controller, 简称" SRNC" ) 中, UE侧的 MAC-e实体和 MAC-es实体在同一功能单元中。  The medium access control ("MAC") layer structure of the E-DCH in the UE is as shown in FIG. 1. The UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN) is called the UTRAN. The MAC layer structure of the E-DCH on the side is shown in Figure 2. The MAC layer of the E-DCH includes two MAC sublayers, MAC-e and MAC-es, and the MAC-es are connected to the MAC-d. The MAC-e entity on the UTRAN side is in the Node B, and the MAC-es entity is in the Serving Radio Network Controller (SRNC), and the MAC-e entity and the MAC-es entity on the UE side are in the In the same functional unit.
在 MAC-e实体中的 MAC-e协议数据单元(Protocol Data Unit,简称" PDU" ) 的结构如图 3所示, MAC-e PDU的净荷部分包括多个复用在一起的 MAC-es PDU、 可选的用于上行快速分组调度的 18 比特的调度信息 (Scheduling Information, 简称" SI" ), 以及用于使 MAC-e PDU的长度等于指定的 E-DCH 传输块长度的可能的填充字段; MAC-e PDU的头部则由各 MAC-es PDU相应 的 6比特的数据描述指示(Data Description Indicator, 简称" DDI" )字段和 6 比特的 N字段构成,以及可选的用于标识 MAC-e PDU头部结束的 DDIQ字段。 其中, DDI字段用来指示 MAC-es PDU中级联的 MAC-d PDU的大小; N字段 用来指示一个 MAC-es PDU中级联的 MAC-d PDU的数目。 The structure of the MAC-e Protocol Data Unit ("PDU") in the MAC-e entity is shown in Figure 3. The payload portion of the MAC-e PDU includes multiple MAC-es multiplexed together. PDU, optional 18-bit scheduling information for uplink fast packet scheduling (Scheduling Information, referred to as "SI"), and possible padding for making the length of the MAC-e PDU equal to the specified E-DCH transport block length The header of the MAC-e PDU is composed of a corresponding 6-bit Data Description Indicator (DDI) field and a 6-bit N field of each MAC-es PDU, and optionally used for identification. The DDI Q field at the end of the MAC-e PDU header. The DDI field is used to indicate the size of the concatenated MAC-d PDU in the MAC-es PDU; the N field is used to indicate the number of concatenated MAC-d PDUs in one MAC-es PDU.
根据 3GPP协议规范, MAC-e PDU的格式根据是否传输 SI和剩余比特数 ( D ) 的大小具有以下四种结构, 其中, 所述剩余比特数即 E-DCH传输块长 度减去 MAC-e PDU所含的 n个 MAC-es PDU及其相应的 n个 DDI字段和 n 个 N字段的长度后所剩余的比特数, According to the 3GPP protocol specification, the format of the MAC-e PDU has the following four structures according to whether the size of the transmitted SI and the number of remaining bits (D), wherein the remaining number of bits is the E-DCH transport block length minus the MAC-e PDU. Contained n MAC-es PDUs and their corresponding n DDI fields and n The number of bits remaining after the length of the N field,
(1) 单独传输 SI的情况下, 整个 MAC-e PDU即由该 18比特长的 SI构 成, 在这种情况下的 MAC-e PDU的结构如图 4所示;  (1) In the case of separately transmitting SI, the entire MAC-e PDU is composed of the 18-bit-length SI, and the structure of the MAC-e PDU in this case is as shown in FIG. 4;
(2) 当 D小于 18比特时, 则不传输 SI, 剩余比特为填充比特, 在这种 情况下的 MAC-e PDU的结构如图 5所示;  (2) When D is less than 18 bits, SI is not transmitted, and the remaining bits are padding bits. In this case, the structure of the MAC-e PDU is as shown in FIG. 5;
(3) 当 D大于或等于 18比特, 且小于 24比特时, 则将 SI直接级联在 MAC-es PDU的末端, 剩余比特为该 SI和填充比特( 0-5比特), 在这种情况 下的 MAC-e PDU的结构如图 6所示;  (3) When D is greater than or equal to 18 bits and less than 24 bits, the SI is directly cascaded at the end of the MAC-es PDU, and the remaining bits are the SI and padding bits (0-5 bits), in this case The structure of the underlying MAC-e PDU is shown in Figure 6;
(4) 当 D大于或等于 24比特时, 则将 SI级联在 MAC-es PDU的末端, 并在 MAC-e PDU头部的末端附加 DDIQ -"111111", 剩余比特为该 SI、 DDI0 字段和填充比特, 在这种情况下的 MAC-e PDU的结构如图 Ί所示。 (4) When D is greater than or equal to 24 bits, the SI is concatenated at the end of the MAC-es PDU, and DDI Q - "111111" is appended to the end of the MAC-e PDU header, and the remaining bits are the SI, DDI 0 field and padding bits, the structure of the MAC-e PDU in this case is as shown in FIG.
E-DCH 的上行快速分组调度是基于 Node B控制的服务授权(Serving Grant, 简称" SG" )参数 Serving— Grant来实现的。 为了筒化 E- DCH上行快速 分组调度的控制, 一个 UE维护一个 SG参数, 该 UE所有 HARQ过程的上行 分组传输都受该单一的 SG参数控制。 ΌΈ所维护的 SG参数受承载于 E-AGCH 的绝对授权 ( Absolute Grant, 筒称" AG" )命令和承载于 E-RGCH的相对授权 ( Relative Grant, 简称" RG" )命令的控制。  The uplink fast packet scheduling of the E-DCH is implemented based on the Node B-controlled Serving Grant ("SG") parameter Serving- Grant. In order to control the E-DCH uplink fast packet scheduling, one UE maintains one SG parameter, and the uplink packet transmission of all HARQ processes of the UE is controlled by the single SG parameter. The SG parameters maintained by the SG are controlled by the E-AGCH's Absolute Grant ("AG") command and the Relative Grant ("RG") command carried on the E-RGCH.
E-DCH的上行快速分組调度支持基于单个 UE的独立调度方式和基于 UE 群组的组调度方式。在基于单个 UE的独立调度方式中,对 2ms TTI模式, Node B可以通过配置不允许 UE某些 HARQ过程发送数据; Node B也可以通过 AG 命令允许 UE处于非活跃状态的某个或全部 HARQ过程发送数据; 或 Node B 通过 AG命令停止 UE的某个或全部 HARQ过程发送数据。  The uplink fast packet scheduling of the E-DCH supports an independent scheduling mode based on a single UE and a group scheduling mode based on a UE group. In the independent scheduling mode based on a single UE, in the 2ms TTI mode, the Node B may not allow the UE to transmit data by using certain HARQ processes; the Node B may also allow the UE to be in an inactive state by using one or all HARQ processes. Send data; or Node B stops the transmission of data by one or all HARQ processes of the UE through the AG command.
SI是 E-DCH进行基于 Node B的上行快速分组调度所依赖的测量信息, 除了基于周期触发和基于事件触发导致 UE上报 SI报告夕卜,当 MAC-e PDU的 空余比特数等于或大于 18比特时也将上报 SI。 其中, 基于周期触发和基于事 件触发的 SI称为触发的 SI ( Triggered SI )。  The SI is the measurement information on which the E-DCH performs the fast packet scheduling based on the Node B, except that the UE reports the SI report based on the periodic trigger and the event-based trigger, when the number of spare bits of the MAC-e PDU is equal to or greater than 18 bits. It will also be reported to SI. Among them, SI based on cycle trigger and event-triggered is called triggered SI (Triggered SI ).
E-DCH中 HARQ过程的处理采用同步方式,即某个 HARQ过程的初始传 输和重传总是发生在固定的时刻。对 2ms TTI模式,总共有 8个并行的 HARQ 过程; 对 lOms TTI模式, 总共有 4个并行的 HARQ过程。 其中, 每个 HARQ 过程都有相应的最大传输次数。 对 SI单独传输的情况, 最大的传输次数固定 为 8次; 对 SI与数据一起在 MAC-e PDU中传输的情况, 最大的重传次数由 该 MAC-e PDU中数据部分的 E-DCH MAC-d流的 HARQ配置参数决定,该参 数由无线资源控制 (Radio Resource Control , 简称" RRC" ) 的信息单元 ( Information Element, 简称' ΊΕ,, ) "E-DCH MAC-d flow maximum number of retransmission ( E-DCH MAC-d流最大重传次数 ) "定义,其取值范围为 0 ~ 15。 The processing of the HARQ process in the E-DCH adopts a synchronous manner, that is, the initial transmission and retransmission of a certain HARQ process always occur at a fixed time. For 2ms TTI mode, there are a total of 8 parallel HARQs Process; For the lOms TTI mode, there are a total of 4 parallel HARQ processes. Among them, each HARQ process has a corresponding maximum number of transmissions. In the case of SI transmission alone, the maximum number of transmissions is fixed at 8 times; for the case where SI is transmitted together with data in the MAC-e PDU, the maximum number of retransmissions is the E-DCH MAC of the data portion of the MAC-e PDU. The HARQ configuration parameter of the -d stream is determined by the Radio Resource Control ("RRC") information element (Information Element, referred to as 'ΊΕ,,) "E-DCH MAC-d flow maximum number of retransmission (E-DCH MAC-d flow maximum number of retransmissions) "Definition, its value range is 0 ~ 15.
根据 3GPP协议规范, UE触发 SI报告的情况有如下两种: 第一种, UE 处于不允许发送数据的状态, 即 SG参数 Serving— Grant为" Zero— Grant", 或者 当所有的 HARQ过程均处于非活跃状态, 上行数据緩冲区中有新的数据需要 发送; 第二种, UE处于允许发送数据的状态, 即 SG参数 Serving_Grant不为 "Zero— Grant", 并且至少有一个 HARQ过程处于活跃状态。  According to the 3GPP protocol specification, the UE triggers the SI report in the following two situations: First, the UE is in a state in which data is not allowed to be transmitted, that is, the SG parameter Serving- Grant is "Zero- Grant", or when all HARQ processes are in the Inactive state, new data needs to be sent in the uplink data buffer; second, the UE is in a state of allowing data to be sent, that is, the SG parameter Serving_Grant is not "Zero-Grant", and at least one HARQ process is active. .
其中, 对于第一种情况而言, 当发生总的 E-DCH数据緩沖区中的数据量 由零变为大于零的事件时; 或者, 当发生有比原 E-DCH数据緩冲区中数据优 先级高的新数据到达的事件时, 将触发 SI报告。  Wherein, in the first case, when an event occurs in which the total amount of data in the E-DCH data buffer changes from zero to greater than zero; or, when there is a data in the original E-DCH data buffer The SI report is triggered when an event with a high priority new data arrives.
对于笫二种情况而言, 当 E-DCH的服务小区发生改变, 且该新的 E-DCH 服务小区不在原来的服务 E-DCH无线链路集(Radio Link Set, 筒称" LS" ) 中的事件; 或者, 一旦当前 SG参数 Serving— Grant更新为 "Zero— Grant"或所有 HARQ过程被设为非活跃状态且总的 E-DCH数据緩冲区中数据量大于零, 则 这些事件将触发 SI报告。  For the other two cases, when the serving cell of the E-DCH changes, and the new E-DCH serving cell is not in the original service E-DCH radio link set (Radio Link Set, nickname "LS") Event; or, once the current SG parameter Serving_ Grant is updated to "Zero-Gold" or all HARQ processes are set to inactive and the total amount of data in the E-DCH data buffer is greater than zero, then these events will be triggered. SI report.
上述两种情况下, 除了上述事件将触发 SI报告外, SI报告主要是基于一 定的周期触发的, 该触发周期是由 RRC消息中 IF'Periodicity for scheduling Info-grant (调度信息周期 -授权 ) "和" Periodicity for scheduling Info-no grant (调 度信息周期 -非授权)"所规定,例如,为 2ms、 4ms > 10ms, 20ms, 50ms, 100ms, 200ms、 500ms或 1000ms等值。  In the above two cases, in addition to the above events will trigger the SI report, the SI report is mainly triggered based on a certain period, which is triggered by the IF'Periodicity for Scheduling Info-grant in the RRC message. And "Regularity for scheduling Info-no grant", for example, 2ms, 4ms > 10ms, 20ms, 50ms, 100ms, 200ms, 500ms or 1000ms.
根据 3GPP规范, SI报告的周期触发分别由定时器 T— SING和定时器 T_SIG控制。  According to the 3GPP specifications, the periodic triggers reported by the SI are controlled by the timer T_SING and the timer T_SIG, respectively.
具体地说, 对于第一种情况, 基于定时器 T— SING的 SI报告的周期触发 操作为: Specifically, for the first case, the period trigger based on the SI report of the timer T_SING The operation is:
一旦 SG参数 Serving— Grant变为" Zero— Grant",或所有 HARQ过程变为非 活跃状态且总的 E-DCH数据緩冲区中数据量大于零, 即启动定时器 T— SING; 如果有 SI被触发, 则重新启动定时器 T_SING;  Once the SG parameter Serving_ Grant becomes "Zero-Grant", or all HARQ processes become inactive and the amount of data in the total E-DCH data buffer is greater than zero, the timer T_SING is started; if there is SI When triggered, the timer T_SING is restarted;
如杲定时器 T— SING计时满, 则触发 SI;  If the timer T_SING is full, the SI is triggered;
一旦 SG参数 Serving— Grant变为非" Zero— Grant"值,或至少一个 HARQ过 程变为非活跃状态, 即复位并停止定时器 T—SING。  Once the SG parameter Serving_ Grant becomes a non-zero-grant value, or at least one HARQ process becomes inactive, the timer is reset and the timer T-SING is stopped.
而对于第二种情况, 基于定时器 T—SIG的 SI报告的周期触发操作为: 一旦 SG参数 Serving— Grant变为非 "Zero— Grant"值,或至少一个 HARQ过 程变为非活跃状态, 即启动定时器 T— SIG;  For the second case, the periodic triggering operation of the SI report based on the timer T-SIG is: once the SG parameter Serving_ Grant becomes a non-Zero-Grant value, or at least one HARQ process becomes inactive, ie Start timer T-SIG;
如果有 SI被触发, 则重新启动定时器 T—SIG;  If there is SI triggered, restart the timer T-SIG;
如果定时器 T— SIG计时满, 则触发 SI;  If the timer T_SIG is full, the SI is triggered;
一旦 SG参数 Serving— Grant变为 "Zero— Grant"或所有 HARQ过程变为非活 跃状态, 即复位并停止定时器 T—SIG。  Once the SG parameter Serving_ Grant becomes "Zero-Grant" or all HARQ processes become inactive, the timer T-SIG is reset and stopped.
在实现本发明过程中, 发明人发现, 由于除了周期或事件触发 SI之外, 还存在非触发的 SI, 即当 MAC-e PDU中的剩余比特数 D大于或等于 18比特 时所必须发送的 SI报告, 因此根据上述现有 SI的传输处理方案, 在定时器计 时满之前, 用户侧有可能会发送非触发的 SI, 此后, 当计时器计时满时还要 发送周期触发的 SI, 但是实际上此时周期触发的 SI报告对网络侧而言是不必 要的, 因此对无线资源造成了浪费。  In the process of implementing the present invention, the inventors have found that since the SI is triggered in addition to the period or event, there is also a non-trigger SI, that is, when the remaining number of bits D in the MAC-e PDU is greater than or equal to 18 bits. SI reports, therefore, according to the above-mentioned existing SI transmission processing scheme, the user side may send a non-triggered SI before the timer expires, and thereafter, the periodic trigger SI is also sent when the timer is full, but actually The SI report triggered by this period is unnecessary for the network side, and thus wastes the radio resources.

In another embodiment of the present invention, when the MAC-e PDU carries the SI because the number of remaining bits D is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold, and the transmission succeeds, the timer that periodically triggers the SI 4 alarm is restarted, which can ensure the SI. Reliable transmission can effectively reduce unnecessary periodic SI reports.

为使本发明实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚, 下面将结合附图对 本发明各实施例作进一步地详细描述。 下, 将重启周期性触发 SI报告的定时器。 以现有 MAC-e PDU结构为例, 该 门限值为 18比特。 The embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Next, the timer that periodically triggers the SI report will be restarted. Taking the existing MAC-e PDU structure as an example, the threshold is 18 bits.
其中, D为 E-DCH传输块长度减去 MAC-e PDU所含的所有 MAC-es PDU 及相应的 DDI和 N字段的长度后所剩余的比特数。  Where D is the length of the E-DCH transport block minus the length of all MAC-es PDUs contained in the MAC-e PDU and the length of the corresponding DDI and N fields.
另夕卜, 发送触发的 SI报告的情况有: 由事件触发的 SI 艮告; 由定时器计 时满而触发的 SI报告 (即周期性触发 SI报告)。 其中, 周期性触发 SI报告的 定时器包括: UE处于不允许发送数据状态下的" T— SING"定时器, 和 UE处于 允许发送数据状态下的 "T— SIG"定时器。  In addition, the status of the triggered SI report is: SI trigger triggered by the event; SI report triggered by the timer expires (ie, the SI report is triggered periodically). The timer for periodically triggering the SI report includes: a "T-SING" timer in which the UE is in a state in which data is not allowed to be transmitted, and a "T-SIG" timer in which the UE is in a state in which data is allowed to be transmitted.
本发明第一实施方式的 E-DCH中 SI报告的触发方法如图 8所示。  The triggering method of the SI report in the E-DCH of the first embodiment of the present invention is as shown in FIG.
在步骤 801中, 判断 SG参数 Serving— Grant的值是否为" Zero— Grant", 或 是否所有 HARQ过程为非活跃状态且总的 E-DCH数据緩冲区中数据量大于 在 UE中, 由于当 SG参数 Serving— Grant的值为 "Zero— Grant", 或所有 HARQ过程为非活跃状态时, UE中的定时器是 "T— SING"定时器。 如果 SG参 数 Serving— Grant的值变为" Zero— Grant", 或所有 HARQ过程变为非活跃状态 且总的 E-DCH数据緩冲区中数据量大于零时,则转入步驟 802;如果 SG参数 Serving_Grant的值变为非" Zero一 Grant"值,或至少一个 HARQ过程变为非活跃 状态, 则转入步骤 806  In step 801, it is determined whether the value of the SG parameter Serving_Gold is "Zero-Grant", or whether all HARQ processes are inactive and the amount of data in the total E-DCH data buffer is greater than in the UE, due to When the value of the SG parameter Serving_Gold is "Zero-Gold", or when all HARQ processes are inactive, the timer in the UE is a "T-SING" timer. If the value of the SG parameter Serving_Gate becomes "Zero-Grant", or all HARQ processes become inactive and the amount of data in the total E-DCH data buffer is greater than zero, then go to step 802; if SG If the value of the parameter Serving_Grant becomes a non-zero-Grant value, or at least one HARQ process becomes inactive, then go to step 806.
在步骤 802中,启动周期性触发 SI报告的定时器 T— SING。然后进入步驟 In step 802, a timer T_SING that periodically triggers the SI report is initiated. Then enter the steps
803 803
在步骤 803中, 判断是否满足下述条件, 如果当前 MAC-e PDU的剩余比 特数 D是否等于或大于 18比特, 或定时器 T— SING计时满, 或有 SI被触发, 则转入步驟 804; 否则, 返回步骤 801  In step 803, it is determined whether the following condition is met. If the remaining number of bits D of the current MAC-e PDU is equal to or greater than 18 bits, or the timer T_SING is full, or if the SI is triggered, then the process proceeds to step 804. ; otherwise, return to step 801
在步骤 804中, 触发 艮告, 并传输该 SI。 如果当前有 MAC-e PDU需 要传输且 D等于或大于 18比特, 则将产生的 SI报告级联在 MAC-es PDU的 末端一起传输, 否则在单独的 MAC-e PDU中传输 SI。 然后进入步骤 805 在步骤 805中, 重启定时器 T SI G。 然后, 返回步驟 801 其中,在 MAC-e PDU因 D大于或等于 18而携带 SI时, 也同样重启周期 性触发 SI报告的定时器。 而现有技术中, 仅在事件触发 SI报告或周期性触发 SI报告之时才重启周期性触发 SI报告的定时器。 In step 804, the advertisement is triggered and the SI is transmitted. If there is currently a MAC-e PDU that needs to be transmitted and D is equal to or greater than 18 bits, the generated SI report concatenation is transmitted together at the end of the MAC-es PDU, otherwise the SI is transmitted in a separate MAC-e PDU. Then, proceeding to step 805, in step 805, the timer T SI G is restarted. Then, return to step 801 When the MAC-e PDU carries the SI because the D is greater than or equal to 18, the timer that periodically triggers the SI report is also restarted. In the prior art, the timer that periodically triggers the SI report is restarted only when the event triggers the SI report or periodically triggers the SI report.
然而, 之所以需要周期性地触发 SI报告, 目的是使网络侧能在周期时长 内至少可以收到一个 SI报告, 从而及时掌握 UE的状态。 在 D大于或等于 18 时, 最新的 SI已随 MAC-e PDU传输, 除非有新的事件发生, 在此后一个周 期时长内实际上已没有必要发送 SI报告, 而现有技术忽视了这一点。 因此, 将现有技术中两种重启定时器的条件和本发明实施例所提出的重启定时器的 条件, 在此统一表述为: 在有 SI传输时重启周期性触发 SI报告的定时器。 因 为在 D大于或等于 18时重启了定时器, 而 D大于或等于 18的 MAC-e PDU 具有相当多的数量, 所以可以有效地减少不必要的周期性 SI报告, 特别是单 独传输的 SI 艮告, 从而减少了空口的流量, 提高了无线资源的利用率。  However, the reason why the SI report needs to be triggered periodically is to enable the network side to receive at least one SI report within the cycle duration, so as to grasp the state of the UE in time. When D is greater than or equal to 18, the latest SI has been transmitted with the MAC-e PDU, and unless a new event occurs, there is virtually no need to send an SI report within a subsequent period of time, which is ignored by the prior art. Therefore, the conditions of the two types of restart timers in the prior art and the conditions of the restart timer proposed in the embodiments of the present invention are collectively expressed as follows: Restarting the timer that periodically triggers the SI report when there is SI transmission. Since the timer is restarted when D is greater than or equal to 18, and the number of MAC-e PDUs with D greater than or equal to 18 has a considerable amount, it is possible to effectively reduce unnecessary periodic SI reports, especially SI transmitted separately. This reduces traffic on the air interface and improves the utilization of wireless resources.
在步驟 806中, 复位并停止定时器 T—SING。 同样返回步骤 801。  In step 806, the timer T_SING is reset and stopped. Also return to step 801.
本发明第二实施方式的 E-DCH中 SI报告的触发方法如图 9所示。  The triggering method of the SI report in the E-DCH of the second embodiment of the present invention is as shown in FIG.
在步驟 901中,判断 SG参数 Serving— Grant的值是否变为非" Zero— Grant", 或至少一个 HARQ过程变为非活跃状态。  In step 901, it is determined whether the value of the SG parameter Serving_Pal becomes non-zero-grant, or at least one HARQ process becomes inactive.
在 UE中, 当 SG参数 Serving— Grant的值为非" Zero— Grant"值, 或至少一 个 HARQ过程为非活跃状态时, 定时器是" T—SIG"定时器。 如果 SG 参数 Serving_Grant的值变为非" Zero一 Grant"值,或至少一个 HARQ过程变为非活跃 状态, 则转入步骤 902; 如果80参数861^1¾_0^ 的值变为"261:0^¾^1^,, 或所有 HARQ过程变为非活跃状态且总的 E-DCH数据緩冲区中数据量大于零 时, 则转入步驟 906。  In the UE, when the value of the SG parameter Serving_Gate is not a "Zero-Grant" value, or at least one HARQ process is inactive, the timer is a "T-SIG" timer. If the value of the SG parameter Serving_Grant becomes a non-zero-Grant value, or at least one HARQ process becomes inactive, then go to step 902; if the value of the 80 parameter 861^13⁄4_0^ becomes "261:0^3⁄4 ^1^,, or all HARQ processes become inactive and the amount of data in the total E-DCH data buffer is greater than zero, then proceeds to step 906.
在步骤 902中, 启动周期性触发 SI报告的定时器 T—SIG。 然后进入步厥 In step 902, a timer T_SIG that periodically triggers the SI report is started. Then enter the step
903。 903.
在步驟 903中, 判断是否满足下述条件, 如果当前 MAC-e PDU的剩余比 特数 D是否等于或大于 18比特, 或定时器 T—SIG计时满, 或有 SI被触发, 则转入步驟 904; 否则, 返回步骤 901。  In step 903, it is determined whether the following condition is met. If the remaining number of bits D of the current MAC-e PDU is equal to or greater than 18 bits, or the timer T_SIG is full, or if the SI is triggered, then the process proceeds to step 904. Otherwise, return to step 901.
在步驟 904中, 触发 SI报告, 并传输该 SL 如果当前有 MAC-e PDU需 要传输且 D等于或大于 18比特, 则将产生的 SI 艮告级联在 MAC-es PDU的 末端一起传输, 否则在单独的 MAC-e PDU中传输 SI。 进入步驟 905。 In step 904, the SI report is triggered, and the SL is transmitted. If there is currently a MAC-e PDU, To transmit and D is equal to or greater than 18 bits, the generated SI cascading is transmitted together at the end of the MAC-es PDU, otherwise the SI is transmitted in a separate MAC-e PDU. Go to step 905.
在步骤 905中, 重启定时器 T—SIG, 并返回步骤 901。  In step 905, the timer T_SIG is restarted, and the flow returns to step 901.
在步骤 906中, 当 SG参数 Serving— Grant的值变为" Zero— Grant", 或所有 HARQ过程变为非活跃状态时,复位并停止定时器 T_SIG。同样返回步骤 901。  In step 906, when the value of the SG parameter Serving_Gate becomes "Zero-Grant", or all HARQ processes become inactive, the timer T_SIG is reset and stopped. The process also returns to step 901.
请参阅图 10,其为本发明第三实施方式的 UE结构示意图。在本实施例中, UE包含周期性触发 SI报告的定时器 110、用于传输 SI的 SI传输模块 130 (在 现有 UE中也存在该模块 ), 还包含判断模块 120。  Please refer to FIG. 10, which is a schematic structural diagram of a UE according to a third embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the UE includes a timer 110 that periodically triggers the SI report, an SI transmission module 130 for transmitting the SI (the module is also present in the existing UE), and a determination module 120.
其中, 判断模块 120用于判断 SI传输模块 130是否因当前 MAC-e PDU 的剩余比特数 D达到或超过预定门限值而传输 SI, 如果是则重启定时器 110, 按照现有 MAC-e PDU结构的定义, 该门限值为 18比特。  The determining module 120 is configured to determine whether the SI transmission module 130 transmits the SI because the remaining number of bits D of the current MAC-e PDU reaches or exceeds a predetermined threshold. If yes, restarts the timer 110 according to the existing MAC-e PDU. The definition of the structure, the threshold is 18 bits.
D为 E-DCH传输块长度减去 MAC-e PDU所含的所有 MAC-es PDU及相 应的数据描述指示字段和 字段的长度后所剩余的比特数。  D is the E-DCH transport block length minus the number of bits remaining after all MAC-es PDUs contained in the MAC-e PDU and the corresponding data description indication fields and fields.
在 UE中, 当 SG参数 Serving— Grant的值为非" Zero— Grant',值, 或至少一 个 HARQ 过程为非活跃状态时, 定时器是" T— SIG"定时器; 当 SG 参数 Serving— Grant的值为 "Zero— Grant", 或所有 HARQ过程为非活跃状态时, UE 中的定时器是" T— SING"定时器。  In the UE, when the value of the SG parameter Serving_Gate is not "Zero- Grant", the value, or at least one HARQ process is inactive, the timer is a "T-SIG" timer; when the SG parameter Serving- Grant The value in the UE is "Z-Rain", or when all HARQ processes are inactive, the timer in the UE is the "T-SING" timer.
本发明第四实施方式的 E-DCH中 SI报告的触发方法在第一实施方式的基 础上作了改进。 其中与触发定时器 T— SING相关的步驟 801至 805不变,增加 了包含非触发的 SI的 MAC-e PDU没有被包含 E-DCH服务小区的 RLS成功接 收时的处理。 该处理具体如下:  The triggering method of the SI report in the E-DCH of the fourth embodiment of the present invention is improved on the basis of the first embodiment. The steps 801 to 805 related to the trigger timer T_SING are unchanged, and the processing when the MAC-e PDU including the non-triggered SI is not successfully received by the RLS including the E-DCH serving cell is added. The process is as follows:
当携带有 SI的 MAC-e PDU达到最大传输次数或者收到不含 E-DCH服务 小区的 RLS的确认时, 如果仍未收到包含 E-DCH服务小区的 RLS的确认, 则判断该 MAC-e PDU发送之后是否有新的 SI (包括触发的或非触发的)被传 输, 如果没有则触发新的 SI传输, 如果已有新的 SI被传输则不触发新的 SI 传输。从而可以在包含 E-DCH服务小区的 RLS传输质量较差时可以更为密集 地触发 SI的传输, 提高了 SI被成功传输的概率。  When the MAC-e PDU carrying the SI reaches the maximum number of transmissions or receives an acknowledgment of the RLS without the E-DCH serving cell, if the acknowledgment of the RLS including the E-DCH serving cell has not been received, the MAC- After the e PDU is sent, whether there is a new SI (including triggered or non-triggered) is transmitted. If not, a new SI transmission is triggered. If a new SI is transmitted, the new SI transmission is not triggered. Therefore, the transmission of the SI can be triggered more densely when the RLS transmission quality including the E-DCH serving cell is poor, and the probability that the SI is successfully transmitted is improved.
本发明第五实施方式的 E-DCH中 SI报告的触发方法在第二实施方式的基 础上作了改进。 其中与触发定时器 T—SIG相关的步骤 901至 906不变, 增加 了包含非触发的 SI的 MAC-e PDU没有被包含 E-DCH服务小区的 RLS成功接 收时的处理。 该处理具体如下: The triggering method of the SI report in the E-DCH according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention is based on the base of the second embodiment Improvements have been made. The steps 901 to 906 related to the trigger timer T_SIG are unchanged, and the processing when the MAC-e PDU including the non-triggered SI is not successfully received by the RLS including the E-DCH serving cell is added. The process is as follows:
当携带有 SI的 MAC-e PDU达到最大传输次数或者收到不含 E-DCH服务 小区的 RLS的确认时, 如果仍未收到包含 E-DCH服务小区的 RLS的确认, 则判断该 MAC-e PDU发送之后是否有新的 SI (包括触发的或非触发的)被传 输, 如果没有则触发新的 SI传输, 如果已有新的 SI被传输则不触发新的 SI 传输。从而可以在包含 E-DCH服务小区的 RLS传输质量较差时可以更为密集 地触发 SI的传输, 提高了 SI被成功传输的概率。  When the MAC-e PDU carrying the SI reaches the maximum number of transmissions or receives an acknowledgment of the RLS without the E-DCH serving cell, if the acknowledgment of the RLS including the E-DCH serving cell has not been received, the MAC- After the e PDU is sent, whether there is a new SI (including triggered or non-triggered) is transmitted. If not, a new SI transmission is triggered. If a new SI is transmitted, the new SI transmission is not triggered. Therefore, the transmission of the SI can be triggered more densely when the RLS transmission quality including the E-DCH serving cell is poor, and the probability that the SI is successfully transmitted is improved.
本发明的第六实施方式的 E-DCH中 SI报告的触发方法如图 11所示。 其 中步驟 1001、 1002、 1004、 1005、 1006分别依次与步驟 801、 802、 804、 805、 806相同此处不再赘述  The triggering method of the SI report in the E-DCH of the sixth embodiment of the present invention is as shown in FIG. Steps 1001, 1002, 1004, 1005, and 1006 are respectively the same as steps 801, 802, 804, 805, and 806, respectively, and are not described herein again.
步骤 1003与步驟 803相比, 在判断条件中少了 D是否等于或大于 18比 特这一条件, 实质上是将这一条件放到步驟 1007-1010中单独处理了。  In step 1003, compared with step 803, the condition that D is equal to or greater than 18 bits is missing in the judgment condition, and this condition is substantially processed in steps 1007-1010.
在步骤 1007中,判断是否 D等于或大于 18比特,如果是则进入步骤 1008 传输 SI后进入步骤 1009, 否则返回步骤 1001。  In step 1007, it is judged whether D is equal to or greater than 18 bits, and if yes, the process proceeds to step 1008, after transmitting SI, the process proceeds to step 1009, otherwise, the process returns to step 1001.
在步骤 1009中 , 判断是否 MAC-e PDU在上一次周期性触发 SI报告的定 时器重新启动之后被传输, 而在周期性触发 SI报告的定时器计时满之前 MAC-e PDU被包含 E-DCH服务小区的 RLS确认成功接收, 如果是则进入步 骤 1010, 否则返回步骤 1001。本步骤中的条件也可以表述为判断 MAC-e PDU (包含非触发的 SI )是否被包含 E-DCH服务小区的 LS成功接收, 且成功接 收的时间与该 MAC-e PDU的发送时间都在定时器当前的时间周期(即定时器 的定时周期) 内。  In step 1009, it is determined whether the MAC-e PDU is transmitted after the timer of the last periodic triggering of the SI report is restarted, and the MAC-e PDU is included in the E-DCH before the timer of the periodically triggered SI report expires. The RLS of the serving cell confirms successful reception, and if yes, proceeds to step 1010, otherwise returns to step 1001. The condition in this step may also be expressed as determining whether the MAC-e PDU (including the non-triggered SI) is successfully received by the LS including the E-DCH serving cell, and the time of successful reception and the sending time of the MAC-e PDU are both The current time period of the timer (ie, the timer's timing period).
步骤 1010中, 重启定时器 T— SING, 并返回步骤 1001。  In step 1010, the timer T_SING is restarted, and the process returns to step 1001.
在 D大于或等于 18时, 最新的 SI已随 MAC-e PDU传输, 如果此 SI传 输成功, 除非有新的事件发生,在此后一个周期时长内实际上已没有必要发送 SI报告。 因此通过在这种情况下重启定时器 T— SING, 可以有效地减少不必要 的周期性 SI报告, 特别是单独传输的 SI报告, 从而减少了空口的流量, 提高 了无线资源的利用率。 When D is greater than or equal to 18, the latest SI has been transmitted with the MAC-e PDU. If this SI transmission is successful, there is virtually no need to send an SI report for the next period of time unless a new event occurs. Therefore, by restarting the timer T_SING in this case, unnecessary periodic SI reports, especially SI reports transmitted separately, can be effectively reduced, thereby reducing air traffic and improving The utilization of wireless resources.
通过对比图 11所示的第六实施方式流程与图 8所示的笫一实施方式流程 可知, 两者的区别主要在于重启定时器的前提条件略有不同。对于第一实施方 式, 只要用户侧由于 MAC-e协议数据单元的剩余比特数达到或超过预定门限 值而进行 SI传输, 便会引发定时器重启, 从而达到减少不必要的周期触发 SI 的传输; 对于笫六实施方式, 在用户侧由于 MAC-e协议数据单元的剩余比特 数达到或超过预定门限值进行 SI传输后, 还要判断该 SI是否在定时器当前的 时间周期内被包含 E-DCH服务小区的 RLS成功接收,只有在计时器计时开始 后的一个时间周期内, 用户侧成功传输了该 SI才会引发定时器重启。 由于在 第六实施方式中增加了上述非触发 SI传输重启定时器的条件, 因此, 不但可 以减少不必要的周期触发 SI传输, 还可以保证即使非触发 SI出于特殊情况未 被包含 E-DCH服务小区的 RLS成功接收, 网络侧最长经过一个时间周期也会 收到新的 SI报告。  By comparing the flow of the sixth embodiment shown in FIG. 11 with the flow of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 8, it can be seen that the difference between the two is mainly that the preconditions for restarting the timer are slightly different. For the first embodiment, as long as the user side performs SI transmission because the number of remaining bits of the MAC-e protocol data unit reaches or exceeds a predetermined threshold, a timer restart is initiated, thereby reducing unnecessary periodic triggering of SI transmission. For the sixth implementation manner, after the SI transmission is performed on the user side because the remaining number of bits of the MAC-e protocol data unit reaches or exceeds a predetermined threshold, it is also determined whether the SI is included in the current time period of the timer. - The RLS of the DCH serving cell is successfully received. Only when the user side successfully transmits the SI within a time period after the timer is started, the timer restart is triggered. Since the condition of the above-mentioned non-triggering SI transmission restart timer is added in the sixth embodiment, not only unnecessary periodic triggering of the SI transmission but also the non-triggering SI is not included in the E-DCH for special cases. The RLS of the serving cell is successfully received, and the network side receives a new SI report for a maximum period of time.
本发明的第七实施方式的 E-DCH中 SI报告的触发方法如图 12所示。 其 中步骤 1101、 1102、 1104、 1105、 1106分别依次与步骤 901、 902、 904、 905、 906相同此处不再赘述  The triggering method of the SI report in the E-DCH of the seventh embodiment of the present invention is as shown in FIG. Steps 1101, 1102, 1104, 1105, and 1106 are the same as steps 901, 902, 904, 905, and 906, respectively, and are not described herein again.
步驟 1103与步骤 903相比, 在判断条件中少了 D是否等于或大于 18比 特这一条件, 实质上是将这一条件放到步骤 1107-1110中单独处理了。  In step 1103, compared with step 903, the condition that D is equal to or greater than 18 bits is missing in the judgment condition, and this condition is substantially processed in steps 1107-1110.
在步骤 1107中,判断是否 D等于或大于 18比特,如果是则进入步驟 1108 -传输 SI后进入步骤 1109, 否则返回步骤 1101。  In step 1107, it is judged whether D is equal to or greater than 18 bits, and if yes, the process proceeds to step 1108 - after transmitting SI, the process proceeds to step 1109, otherwise, the process returns to step 1101.
在步骤 1109中, 判断是否 MAC-e PDU在上一次周期性触发 SI报告的定 时器重新启动之后被传输, 而在周期性触发 SI报告的定时器计时满之前 MAC-e PDU被包含 E-DCH服务小区的 RLS确认成功接收, 如果是则: ¾X步 骤 1110, 否则返回步驟 1101。  In step 1109, it is determined whether the MAC-e PDU is transmitted after the timer of the last periodic triggering SI report is restarted, and the MAC-e PDU is included in the E-DCH before the timer of the periodically triggered SI report expires. The RLS of the serving cell confirms successful reception, and if so: 3⁄4X step 1110, otherwise returns to step 1101.
步骤 1110中, 重启定时器 T— SIG, 并返回步骤 1101。  In step 1110, the timer T_SIG is restarted, and the process returns to step 1101.
在 D大于或等于 18时, 最新的 SI已随 MAC-e PDU传输, 如果此 SI传 输成功, 除非有新的事件发生,在此后一个周期时长内实际上已没有必要发送 SI报告。 因此通过在这种情况下重启定时器 T SIG, 既保证了 SI的可靠传输, 又有效地减少不必要的周期性 SI报告, 特别是单独传输的 SI报告, 从而减少 了空口的流量,提高了无线资源的利用率。 第七实施方式与第二实施方式的区 别类似于第六实施方式与笫一实施方式的区别, 因而此处不再赞述。 When D is greater than or equal to 18, the latest SI has been transmitted with the MAC-e PDU. If this SI transmission is successful, there is virtually no need to send an SI report for the next period of time unless a new event occurs. Therefore, by restarting the timer T SIG in this case, both reliable transmission of the SI is ensured. It also effectively reduces unnecessary periodic SI reports, especially SI reports transmitted separately, thereby reducing air traffic and improving the utilization of radio resources. The difference between the seventh embodiment and the second embodiment is similar to the difference between the sixth embodiment and the first embodiment, and thus will not be described here.

本发明第八实施方式的 UE结构对第三实施方式的 UE结构作了改进, 主 是是对判断模块 120的功能进行了扩充。该判断模块 120除了第三实施方式中 的功能以外, 还在同时满足以下条件时触发 SI传输模块 130进行新的调度信 息的传输:  The UE structure of the eighth embodiment of the present invention improves the structure of the UE of the third embodiment, and the function of the judging module 120 is expanded. In addition to the functions in the third embodiment, the judging module 120 triggers the SI transmission module 130 to transmit new scheduling information while satisfying the following conditions:
携带有非触发调度信息的所述 MAC-e协议数据单元达到最大传输次数或 者收到包含非增强的专用信道月艮务小区的无线链路集的确认;  The MAC-e protocol data unit carrying the non-trigger scheduling information reaches the maximum number of transmissions or receives an acknowledgment of the radio link set including the non-enhanced dedicated channel aging cell;
没有收到包含增强的专用信道服务小区的无线链路集的确认;  No acknowledgement of the radio link set containing the enhanced dedicated channel serving cell;
所述 MAC-e协议数据单元发送之后没有新的调度信息皮传输。  There is no new scheduling information transmission after the MAC-e protocol data unit is transmitted.
上述第八实施方式中判断模块 120新增的功能使 UE在包含 E-DCH服务 小区的 RLS传输质量较差时可以更为密集地触发 SI的传输, 从而提高了 SI 被成功传输的概率。 从逻辑上, 也可以认为 UE包含两个判断模块, 其中一个 实现第三实施方式中的基本功能, 另一个实现第八实施方式中所述的扩充功 能。  The newly added function of the determining module 120 in the foregoing eighth embodiment enables the UE to trigger the transmission of the SI more densely when the RLS transmission quality of the E-DCH serving cell is poor, thereby improving the probability that the SI is successfully transmitted. Logically, it is also considered that the UE includes two judging modules, one of which implements the basic functions in the third embodiment, and the other implements the extended functions described in the eighth embodiment.
本发明第九实施方式涉及一种 UE结构, 该 UE的内部结构从总体上而言 与图 10所示的第三实施方式 UE相同, 只是其内部各模块的具体实现方式略 有不同, 下面仍然以图 10为例, 进行说明。  The ninth embodiment of the present invention relates to a UE structure. The internal structure of the UE is the same as the UE of the third embodiment shown in FIG. 10, but the specific implementation manners of the internal modules are slightly different. Taking FIG. 10 as an example, description will be made.
本实施方式中的 UE同样包含定时器 110、 SI传输模块 130以及判断模块 120。 SI传输模块 130进行的 SI传输包括多种, 例如基于事件或周期触发的 SI传输, 和由于当前 MAC-e PDU的剩余比特数 D等于或大于 18比特而进行 的 SI传输。 与现有技术不同的是, 本实施方式中的判断模块 120用于判断下 述情况是否成立:携带非触发 SI的 MAC-e协议数据单元在上一次周期性触发 调度信息报告的定时器重新启动之后被传输、并且在所述定时器计时满之前该 MAC-e协议数据单元被包含增强的专用信道服务小区的无线链路集确认成功 接收, 如果上述情况成立, 则判断模块 120引发所述周期性触发 艮告的定 时器重启。 简而言之,判断模块 120主要是用于判断调度信息传输模块是否在 所述定时器计时开始后的一个时间周期内、 由于 MAC-e协议数据单元的剩余 比特数达到或超过预定门限值而传输 SI并且该 SI被包含增强的专用信道服务 小区的无线链路集确认成功接收, 如果是则引发所述定时器重启。 The UE in this embodiment also includes a timer 110, an SI transmission module 130, and a determination module 120. The SI transmission by the SI transmission module 130 includes various types, such as event- or periodic-triggered SI transmission, and SI transmission due to the remaining number of bits D of the current MAC-e PDU being equal to or greater than 18 bits. Different from the prior art, the determining module 120 in this embodiment is used to determine whether the following condition is met: the MAC-e protocol data unit carrying the non-triggering SI restarts the timer of the last periodic triggering scheduling information report. After being transmitted, and before the timer expires The MAC-e protocol data unit is successfully received by the radio link set including the enhanced dedicated channel serving cell. If the above condition is met, the determining module 120 triggers the timer restart of the periodically triggered alarm. In short, the determining module 120 is mainly configured to determine whether the scheduling information transmission module meets or exceeds a predetermined threshold value in a time period after the timer is started, because the remaining number of bits of the MAC-e protocol data unit reaches or exceeds a predetermined threshold. While transmitting the SI and the SI is confirmed to be successfully received by the radio link set containing the enhanced dedicated channel serving cell, if so, the timer is restarted.
这里的定时器包括 T— SING和 T— SIG。 具体来说, 当 Serving— Grant的值 为 Zero— Grant, 或所有 HARQ过程为非活跃状态时, 定时器是 T— SING定时 器; 在 Serving— Grant的值为非 Zero— Grant值, 或至少一个 HARQ过程为非活 跃状态时, 定时器是 T— SIG定时器。  The timers here include T-SING and T-SIG. Specifically, when the value of Serving_Gen Grant is Zero- Grant, or all HARQ processes are inactive, the timer is a T-SING timer; the value of Serving-Grant is a non-Zero-Grant value, or at least one When the HARQ process is inactive, the timer is the T-SIG timer.
可以看出, 第九实施方式中的 UE与第三实施方式中的 UE主要区别之处 在于判断模块 120的具体实现不同 (即引发定时器重启的条件不同)。 正是由 于本实施方式中的 UE在非触发的 SI被成功接收之后才重新启动定时器, 因 此既保证了 SI的可靠传输, 又有效地減少不必要的周期性 SI报告, 特别是单 独传输的 SI报告, 从而减少了空口的流量, 提高了无线资源的利用率。  It can be seen that the UE in the ninth embodiment is mainly different from the UE in the third embodiment in that the specific implementation of the determining module 120 is different (that is, the conditions for causing the timer to restart are different). It is because the UE in this embodiment restarts the timer after the non-triggered SI is successfully received, thereby ensuring reliable transmission of the SI and effectively reducing unnecessary periodic SI reports, especially for individual transmission. SI reports, which reduce air traffic and improve the utilization of wireless resources.
对比上述本发明各实施例与现有技术可知, 现有技术仅在事件触发 SI报 告或周期性触发 SI报告之时才重启周期性触发 SI报告的定时器。 周期性触发 SI报告的定时器包括: 用户设备处于不允许发送数据状态下的" T— SING"定时 器, 和用户设备处于允许发送数据状态下的 "T—SIG"定时器。 之所以需要周期 性地触发 SI报告,目的是使网络侧能在周期时长内至少可以收到一个 SI报告, 从而及时掌握用户设备的状态。但是,在 D大于或等于 18时, 最新的 SI已随 MAC-e PDU传输, 除非有新的事件发生, 否则在此后一个周期时长内实际上 已没有必要发送 SI报告, 因而现有技术忽视了这一点。  Comparing the foregoing embodiments of the present invention with the prior art, the prior art restarts the timer that periodically triggers the SI report only when the event triggers the SI report or periodically triggers the SI report. The timers that periodically trigger the SI report include: a "T-SING" timer in which the user equipment is in a state in which data is not allowed to be transmitted, and a "T-SIG" timer in which the user equipment is in a state in which data is allowed to be transmitted. The reason why the SI report needs to be triggered periodically is to enable the network side to receive at least one SI report within the cycle duration, so as to timely grasp the state of the user equipment. However, when D is greater than or equal to 18, the latest SI has been transmitted with the MAC-e PDU, and unless a new event occurs, there is actually no need to send an SI report for the next period of time, so the prior art ignores at this point.
在本发明的一个实施例中,可以将现有技术两种重启定时器的条件和本发 明实施例所提出的重启定时器的条件统一表述为: 在有 SI传输时重启周期性 触发 SI报告的定时器。 因为在 D大于或等于 18时重启了定时器, 而 D大于 或等于 18的 MAC-e PDU具有相当多的数量, 所以可以有效地减少不必要的 周期性 艮告, 特别是单独传输的 SI报告, 从而减少了空口的流量, 提高了 无线资源的利用率。 进一步, 如果包含非触发的 SI的 MAC-e PDU没有被包含 E-DCH服务小 区的 RLS成功接收, 并且该非触发的 SI之后没有新的 SI (触发或非触发)被 传输, 则触发新的 SI传输。 从而可以在包含 E-DCH服务小区的 RLS传输质 量较差时可以更为密集地触发 SI的传输, 提高了 SI被成功传输的概率。 In an embodiment of the present invention, the conditions of the two types of restart timers in the prior art and the conditions of the restart timer proposed in the embodiment of the present invention may be uniformly expressed as: restarting the periodic triggering of the SI report when there is an SI transmission Timer. Since the timer is restarted when D is greater than or equal to 18, and the number of MAC-e PDUs with D greater than or equal to 18 has a considerable amount, it is possible to effectively reduce unnecessary periodic advertisements, especially SI reports transmitted separately. , thereby reducing the traffic of the air interface and improving the utilization of the wireless resources. Further, if the MAC-e PDU including the non-triggered SI is not successfully received by the RLS including the E-DCH serving cell, and no new SI (triggered or non-triggered) is transmitted after the non-triggered SI, a new trigger is triggered. SI transmission. Therefore, the transmission of the SI can be triggered more densely when the RLS transmission quality including the E-DCH serving cell is poor, and the probability that the SI is successfully transmitted is improved.
在本发明的另外一个实施例中, 由于非触发的 SI在定时器的同一个周期 内被成功接收(包含 E-DCH服务小区的 RLS收到 )后, 才重新启动定时器。 因此, 既能够保证 SI的可靠传输, 又能有效地减少不必要的周期性 SI报告, 特别是单独传输的 SI报告, 从而减少了空口的流量, 提高了无线资源的利用 率。  In another embodiment of the present invention, the timer is restarted after the non-triggered SI is successfully received in the same period of the timer (including the RLS received by the E-DCH serving cell). Therefore, it can not only ensure the reliable transmission of SI, but also effectively reduce unnecessary periodic SI reports, especially SI reports transmitted separately, thereby reducing air traffic and improving the utilization of radio resources.
虽然通过参照本发明的某些优选实施方式,已经对本发明进行了图示和描 述,但本领域的普通技术人员应该明白,可以在形式上和细节上对其作各种改 变, 而不偏离本发明的^ "神和范围。  Although the invention has been illustrated and described with reference to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, it will be understood Invented ^ "God and scope.
