Description

非连续接收的方法、终端设备和网络设备 技术领域
本申请实施例涉及无线通信领域,并且更具体地,涉及一种非连续接收的方法、终端设备和网络设备。
背景技术
出于终端设备节电的考虑,引入了非连续传输(Discontinuous Reception,DRX)机制。每个DRX周期(DRX Cycle)中包括激活期(on duration)和休眠期(Opportunity for DRX),当处于激活期时终端设备检测控制信道,而处于休眠期时终端设备可以通过停止接收控制信道(此时终端设备会停止控制信道的盲检)来降低功耗,从而提升电池使用时间。
网络虽然给终端设备配置了DRX机制,使终端设备周期性地在激活期中检测控制信道,但是,终端设备在激活期中仅是机会性的得到调度,甚至终端设备在业务负荷很低的情况下,仅仅在少数的DRX周期内会被调度,对于采用DRX机制的寻呼消息而言,终端接收到寻呼消息的时机更少。因此,终端设备在配置了DRX机制后,可能在多数的激活期内并不能检测到控制信道但仍会被唤醒,这样就增加了不必要的功耗。
发明内容

因此,终端设备通过在特定时间检测自己的DRX指示信号,并根据检测到的DRX指示信号获知自己在之后的DRX指示周期中的激活期内是否被调度,从而在没有被调度时保持休眠以进一步降低功耗。并且,由于该DRX指示信号指示多个终端设备的唤醒和休眠时,不同的终端设备检测该DRX指示信号的时间位置不同,因此不同的终端设备检测DRX指示信号时可以降低彼此间的干扰,进一步降低功耗。

具体实施方式
下面将结合附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行描述。
应理解,本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信***,例如:全球移动通讯(Global System of Mobile Communication,GSM)***、码分多址(Code Division Multiple Access,CDMA)***、宽带码分多址(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access,WCDMA)***、长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)***、LTE频分双工(Frequency Division Duplex,FDD)***、LTE时分双工(Time Division Duplex,TDD)、通用移动通信***(Universal Mobile Telecommunication System,UMTS)、以及未来的5G通信***等。
本申请结合终端设备描述了各个实施例。终端设备也可以指用户设备(User Equipment,UE)、接入终端、用户单元、用户站、移动站、移动台、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、用户终端、终端、无线通信设备、用户代理或用户装置。接入终端可以是蜂窝电话、无绳电话、会话启动协议(Session Initiation Protocol,SIP)电话、无线本地环路(Wireless Local Loop,WLL)站、个人数字处理(Personal Digital Assistant,PDA)、具有无线通信功能的手持设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备,未来5G网络中的终端设备或者未来演进的陆上公用移动通信网(Public Land Mobile Network,PLMN)网络中的终端设备等。
本申请结合网络设备描述了各个实施例。网络设备可以是用于与终端设备进行通信的设备,例如,可以是GSM***或CDMA中的基站(Base Transceiver Station,BTS),也可以是WCDMA***中的基站(NodeB,NB),还可以是LTE***中的演进型基站(Evolutional Node B,eNB或eNodeB),或者该网络设备可以为中继站、接入点、车载设备、可穿戴设备以及未来5G网络中的网络侧设备或未来演进的PLMN网络中的网络侧设备等。
图1是本申请实施例的一个应用场景的示意图。图1中的通信***可以包括网络设备10和终端设备20。网络设备10用于为终端设备20提供通信服务并接入核心网,终端设备20可以通过搜索网络设备10发送的同步信号、广播信号等而接入网络,从而进行与网络的通信。图1中所示出的箭头可以表示通过终端设备20与网络设备10之间的蜂窝链路进行的上/下行传输。
本申请实施例中的网络可以是指公共陆地移动网络(Public Land Mobile Network,PLMN)或者设备对设备(Device to Device,D2D)网络或者机器对机器/人(Machine to Machine/Man,M2M)网络或者其他网络,图1只是举例的简化示意图,网络中还可以包括其他终端设备,图1中未予以画出。
终端设备的DRX周期(DRX Cycle)中包括激活期(on duration)和休眠期(Opportunity for DRX),例如图2所示,终端设备在激活期内即on duration时间段内可以检测(或称侦听)物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel,PDCCH),而终端设备在休眠期内即Opportunity for DRX内可以通过停止接收PDCCH(此时终端设备会停止PDCCH或寻呼消息的盲检)来降低功耗,从而提升电池使用时间。可以说,在唤醒期内终端设备处于唤醒状态从而检测PDCCH,在休眠期内终端设备进入休眠状态从而不进行信道或信号的检测。
网络虽然给终端设备配置了DRX周期,使终端设备周期性地在激活期中检测PDCCH,但是,终端设备在激活期中仅是机会性的得到调度,甚至终端设备在业务负荷很低的情况下,仅仅在少数的DRX周期内会被调度,对于采用DRX机制的寻呼消息而言,终端接收到寻呼消息的时机更少。因此,终端设备在配置了DRX机制后,可能在大多数的DRX周期的激活期内都检测不到控制信道,但是在这些DRX的激活期内仍会被唤醒,这样就增加了终端设备的不必要的功耗。
因此,本申请实施例中,终端设备通过在特定时间检测自己的DRX指示信号,并根据该DRX指示信号获知自己在之后的多个DRX周期中的激活期内是否真正被调度,从而在没有被调度时保持休眠以进一步降低功耗。并且,该DRX指示信号指示多个终端设备的唤醒和休眠时,不同终端设备检测DRX指示信号的时间位置不同,因此不同的终端设备检测DRX指示信号时可以降低彼此间的干扰,进一步降低功耗。
本申请实施例不仅可以用在PDCCH的检测中,还可以用在寻呼消息的检测中。寻呼消息的传输也是一种处于RRC空闲(idle)状态的DRX机制,此时,DRX周期即为寻呼周期。寻呼无线帧(Paging Frame,PF)是一个特定的无线帧或称***帧,终端设备可以在该PF中的特定子帧即寻呼时刻(Paging Occasion,PO)上尝试接收寻呼(Paging)消息。该PO上可能传输有使用寻呼无线网络临时标识(Paging Radio Network Tempory Identity, P-RNTI)加扰并指示该寻呼消息的物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel,PDCCH)。当使用了DRX,终端设备在每个DRX周期(DRX cycle)上只需要检测1个PO。也就是说,对每个终端设备而言,在每个DRX周期内只有1个子帧可以用于发送寻呼消息,PF就是用于发送该寻呼消息的***帧,PO就是该PF内用于发送该寻呼消息的子帧。
图3是本申请实施例的非连续接收的方法的示意性流程图。图3所示的方法可以由第一终端设备执行,该第一终端设备为图1中所示的终端设备20。如图3所示,该非连续接收的方法包括:
在310中,第一终端设备确定用于第一终端设备检测DRX指示信号的目标DRX周期。
在320中,第一终端设备在该目标DRX周期中或者在该目标DRX周期之前,检测网络设备发送的DRX指示信号。
其中,该DRX指示信号用于指示第一终端设备在检测到该DRX指示信号的时刻之后的M个DRX周期中的激活期内唤醒或者休眠,该M个DRX周期为第一终端设备的DRX指示周期,M为正整数。
在330中,第一终端设备跟据该DRX指示信号,在检测到该DRX指示信号的时刻之后的该M个DRX周期中的激活期内唤醒或者休眠。
具体地说,第一终端设备确定用于该第一终端设备检测非连续接收DRX指示信号的目标DRX周期后,可以在该目标DRX周期中检测网络设备发送的DRX指示信号(例如在该DRX周期中的激活期内的第一个子帧或第一个时隙中检测该DRX指示信号),或者在该目标DRX周期之前检测该DRX指示信号。该DRX指示信号用于指示第一终端设备在第一终端设备的DRX指示周期中的激活期内唤醒或者休眠。第一终端设备的DRX指示周期中包括M个DRX周期,第一终端设备的DRX指示周期中的激活期即这M个DRX周期中的激活期。
也就是说,第一终端设备的DRX指示周期为第一终端设备在目标DRX周期中或目标DRX周期之前检测到的DRX指示信号的有效时长,该DRX指示信号可以指示终端设备在其DRX指示周期(即之后的M个DRX周期)中的唤醒和休眠。不同终端设备的DRX指示周期可以相同或不同。M的具体数值可以通过网络设备为终端设备配置,也可以是网络设备与终端设备约定的预存在终端设备中的值。
可选地,在310中,第一终端设备确定用于所述第一终端设备检测DRX指示信号的目标DRX周期,包括:第一终端设备在用于进行DRX指示信号检测的DRX指示信号周期中,确定该目标DRX周期,该DRX指示信号周期包括N个DRX周期,N为正整数,N=M或者N≠M。
具体地说,配置DRX指示信号周期,该DRX指示信号周期用于一组终端设备进行DRX指示信号的检测,一个DRX指示信号周期中包括N个DRX周期,这组终端设备中的第一终端设备确定自己应当在该DRX指示信号周期中的哪个DRX周期中检测DRX指示信号,第一终端设备在DRX指示信号周期中确定了用于检测DRX指示信号的目标DRX周期后,在该目标DRX周期中或者在该目标DRX周期之前检测DRX指示信号,并根据该DRX指示信号的指示,在检测到该DRX指示信号的时刻之后的M个DRX周期的激活期内唤醒或者休眠。
应理解,本申请实施例中,DRX周期(DRX Cycle)、DRX指示周期和DRX指示信号周期具有不同的含义。DRX周期为图2中所示的时间周期;DRX指示周期包括M个DRX周期,表示终端设备检测到DRX指示信号后可以在之后一个DRX指示周期中均执行该DRX指示信号的指示即唤醒或者休眠;DRX指示信号周期包括N个DRX周期,DRX指示信号周期用于一组终端设备进行DRX指示信号的检测,这N个DRX周期中不同的DRX周期可以分别用于不同的终端设备进行DRX指示信号的检测。M可以与N相等,也可以不相等。
可选地,该DRX指示信号周期起始的***帧(简称帧)的***帧号(System Frame Number,SFN)满足:mod(SFN,N×T)=K,其中,K为预配置的自然数(即K为0或正整数),T为DRX周期中包括的***帧的个数。
例如,优选地,K=0时,该DRX指示信号周期为起始帧满足mod(SFN,N×T1)=0且长度等于N×T的时间段。如果N=4,则SFN=0,则SFN=4×T,则SFN=8×T.......、SFN=N×T可以作为DRX指示信号周期的起始帧。
又例如,K=1时,该DRX指示信号周期为起始帧满足mod(SFN,N×T1)=1且长度等于N×T的时间段。如果N=4,则SFN=1、SFN=4×T+1,则SFN=8×T+1.......、SFN=N×T+1可以作为DRX指示信号周期的起始帧。
可选地,如图4所示,310包括311和312。
在311中,第一终端设备确定第一终端设备对应的偏移值,该偏移值用于表示该目标DRX周期在该DRX指示信号周期中的位置。
在312中,第一终端设备根据该偏移值,在该DRX指示信号周期中确定该目标DRX周期。
例如,假设N=4,即DRX指示信号周期包括4个DRX周期。偏移值为0时表示第一终端设备用于检测DRX指示信号的目标DRX周期为该N个DRX周期中的第一个DRX周期;偏移值为1时表示该目标DRX周期为该N个DRX周期中的第二个DRX周期;偏移值为2时表示该目标DRX周期为该N个DRX周期中的第三个DRX周期;偏移值为3时表示该目标DRX周期为该N个DRX周期中的第四个DRX周期。
本申请实施例提出三种用于第一终端设备确定其对应的偏移值的方式,下面具体说明。
方式1
可选地,在311中,第一终端设备确定该第一终端设备对应的偏移值,包括:第一终端设备根据该第一终端设备的设备标识(Uesr Equipment Identity,UE-ID),确定该偏移值。
例如,该第一终端设备对应的偏移值为mod(UE-ID,N),或写作(UE-ID)mod N。其中N为一个DRX指示周期中包括的DRX周期的数量,mod为取余。
方式2
可选地,在311中,第一终端设备确定该第一终端设备对应的偏移值,包括:第一终端设备根据第一终端设备的驻留小区或服务小区的小区(Cell)标识(Cell ID),确定该偏移值。
例如,该第一终端设备对应的偏移值为mod(Cell ID,N),或写作(Cell ID)mod N。其中N为一个DRX指示周期中包括的DRX周期的数量,mod为取余。
方式3
可选地,在311中,第一终端设备确定该第一终端设备对应的偏移值,包括:第一终端设备接收网络设备发送的第一配置信息,该第一配置信息用于指示该偏移值。
第一终端设备基于上述三种方式之一确定了对应的偏移值后,根据该偏 移值,在该DRX指示周期中确定用于第一终端设备检测该DRX指示信号的目标DRX周期。
举例来说,如图5所示,假设N=4,即一个DRX指示信号周期中包括4个DRX周期,如果第一终端设备确定第一终端设备对应的偏移值为0,那么第一终端设备会在图5中所示的DRX指示信号周期中的第一个DRX周期之前检测该DRX指示信号,该DRX指示信号周期中的第一个DRX周期即为第一终端设备的目标DRX周期。如果该DRX指示信号指示第一终端设备在检测到该DRX指示信号的时刻之后的DRX指示周期中的M个DRX周期的激活期内休眠,那么终端设备可以在这M个DRX周期的激活期内均处于休眠状态,当M=4时,第一终端设备的DRX指示周期与DRX指示信号周期相同。
同理,如果第一终端设备确定第一终端设备对应的偏移值为1,那么第一终端设备可以在DRX指示信号周期中的第二个DRX周期之前检测该DRX指示信号,如果该DRX指示信号指示唤醒,则第一终端设备在检测到该DRX指示信号的时刻之后的DRX指示周期中的M个DRX周期的激活期内均处于唤醒状态。
从对图5的描述可知,终端设备检测到的DRX指示信号可以一次性指示终端设备在M个DRX周期中的唤醒和休眠,这M个DRX周期即为第一终端设备对应的DRX指示周期。使用的目标DRX周期不同的终端设备,其DRX指示周期的位置也可能不同。
可选地,在310之前,即在第一终端设备在DRX指示信号周期中,确定用于第一终端设备检测DRX指示信号的目标DRX周期之前,该方法还包括:第一终端设备接收网络设备通过无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)专用信令、广播信令或者媒体访问控制(Media Access Control,MAC)控制元素(Control Element,CE)发送的第二配置信息,该第二配置信息用于指示该DRX指示信号周期的长度,即该DRX指示信号周期中包括的DRX周期的个数N。
例如,与寻呼(Paging)消息相关的DRX指示信号,可以在开机附着过程中由网络设备通过RRC信令告知第一终端设备相关的配置信息例如上述的第一配置信息和/或第二配置信息。
又例如,对于处于连接态的第一终端设备,网络设备可以通过RRC专 用信令或者MAC CE向第一终端设备告知相关的配置信息例如第一配置信息和/或第二配置信息。
可选地,在320中,该DRX指示信号用于指示包括第一终端设备在内的多个终端设备在检测到该DRX指示信号的时刻之后的M个DRX周期中的激活期内唤醒或者休眠。
其中,该多个终端设备对应于该DRX指示信号周期中的N个DRX周期,该N个DRX周期中的每个DRX周期用于对应的终端设备检测该DRX指示信号。
可选地,该多个终端设备属于多个设备分组中的一个设备分组,该第一终端设备所属的设备分组是根据该第一终端设备的UE-ID、该第一终端设备的接入等级、或用于表示该设备分组的配置参数确定的。
具体地说,网络设备可以同时指示多个终端设备的的唤醒和休眠,这多个终端设备属于多个设备分组中的一个设备分组。该设备分组中的这多个终端设备可以进一步被划分为N个子集,N个子集与DRX指示信号周期中的N个DRX周期对应,每个子集中的终端设备在对应的DRX周期中检测该DRX指示信号,并在检测到该DRX的时刻之后的N个DRX周期中,根据该DRX指示信号的指示确定休眠还是唤醒。
也就是说,网络设备在DRX指示信号周期中的N个DRX周期中都会发送DRX指示信号,但是在N个DRX周期中的每个DRX周期上发送的DRX指示信号,是针对每个DRX周期所对应的子集中的终端设备的。网络设备在某个DRX周期上发送的DRX指示信号如果指示唤醒,那么在该DRX周期上检测到该DRX指示信号的终端设备,会在检测到该DRX指示信号的时刻之后的DRX指示周期的激活期中唤醒,该DRX指示周期包括M个DRX周期;网络设备在某个DRX周期上发送的DRX指示信号如果指示休眠,那么在该DRX周期上检测到该DRX指示信号的终端设备,会在检测到该DRX指示信号的时刻之后的DRX指示周期的激活期中休眠。
之所以设置DRX指示信号周期,并将不同终端设备检测DRX指示信号的时间设置为该DRX指示信号周期中的不同DRX周期,是因为网络设备同时指示一组终端设备的唤醒或休眠时,如果这组中的多个终端设备中仅有少数终端设备甚至只有一个终端设备需要被唤醒,那么网络设备也会向这多个终端设备同时发送该DRX指示信号,这样,其他没有数据传输的其他终端 设备也需要被唤醒,就影响了其他终端设备的功耗。
而在本申请实施例中,网络设备在目标DRX周期中发送的DRX指示信号虽然可以指示属于同一个设备分组的终端设备的唤醒或休眠,但是该设备分组中的不同终端设备可能在DRX指示信号周期中的不同DRX周期上进行DRX指示信号的检测,由于该设备分组中的不同终端设备检测DRX指示信号的时间位置不同,因而没有检测到DRX指示信号的终端设备就避免了不必要的唤醒,从而降低了功耗。
即使被分到同一个设备分组,该设备分组中的终端设备也可以通过在不同时间(例如不同偏移值对应的不同DRX周期)中检测DRX指示信号,从而减少同一设备分组中的终端设备在检测DRX指示信号时的相互影响。
举例来说,第一终端设备所在的设备分组中包括8个终端设备,一个DRX指示信号周期中包括四个DRX周期。那么这四个DRX周期中的每个DRX周期可以对应2个终端设备,即每个DRX周期仅用于对应的2个终端设备进行DRX指示信号的检测。这8个终端设备中的每个终端设备在哪个DRX周期中检测该DRX指示信号,例如可以通过前述的三种方式确定各自对应的偏移值,并根据偏移值确定自己在哪个DRX周期中检测该DRX指示信号。例如表一所示,假设根据UE-ID确定每个终端设备所对应的DRX周期,终端设备1和终端设备4在第一个DRX周期中检测该DRX指示信号,终端设备2和终端设备5在第二个DRX周期中检测该DRX指示信号,终端设备3和终端设备6在第三个DRX周期中检测该DRX指示信号,终端设备4和终端设备8在第四个DRX周期中检测该DRX指示信号。
表一
DRX指示周期中的4个DRX周期 设备分组中的8个终端设备
第一个DRX周期 终端设备1和终端设备4
第二个DRX周期 终端设备2和终端设备5
第三个DRX周期 终端设备3和终端设备6
第四个DRX周期 终端设备4和终端设备8
假设第一终端设备为这里的终端设备2,终端设备2可以在其DRX指示周期的激活期中处于唤醒状态,其DRX指示周期例如可以包括从第二个DRX周期开始的M个DRX周期或者包括从下一个DRX周期即第三个DRX 周期开始的M个DRX周期。这时,由于只有终端设备5和终端设备2在第二个DRX周期中检测该DRX指示信号,那么只有终端设备5和终端设备2会被唤醒,而其他不需要被唤醒的终端设备就不会被唤醒。相比于8个终端设备同时检测DRX指示信号从而同时被唤醒,不同终端设备通过在不同DRX周期中检测DRX指示信号则可以大大降低那些不在第二个DRX周期中检测DRX指示信号的终端设备的功耗。
因此,本申请实施例中,终端设备通过在特定时间检测自己的DRX指示信号,并根据检测到的DRX指示信号获知自己在之后的DRX指示周期中的激活期内是否被调度,从而在没有被调度时保持休眠以进一步降低功耗。并且,由于该DRX指示信号指示多个终端设备的唤醒和休眠时,不同的终端设备检测该DRX指示信号的时间位置不同,因此不同的终端设备检测DRX指示信号时可以降低彼此间的干扰,进一步降低功耗。
图6是本申请实施例的非连续接收的方法的示意性流程图。图6所示的方法可以由网络设备执行,该网络设备例如可以为图1中所示的网络设备10。如图6所示,该非连续接收的方法包括:
