- UE1 In the DRX mode, UE1 only monitors the signal during the second monitoring duration of CG_N+1. If the sideline signal or the downlink signal sent to UE1 is not monitored within the second monitoring period, UE1 stops monitoring the signal within the sleep period of CG_N+1 and goes to sleep. At CG_N+2, UE1 continues to maintain the DRX mode, that is, monitors the signal during the second monitoring period of CG_N+2. If the sideline signal and downlink signal sent to UE1 are not monitored during the second monitoring period of CG_N+2, Then stop signal monitoring within the sleep duration of CG_N+2 and enter sleep.

At CG_M+2, UE1 continues to use the DRX mode, and so on.
- UE1 Assuming that UE1 monitors the sideline signal and/or downlink signal corresponding to UE1 during the second monitoring period of CG_L, UE1 no longer enters sleep after the second monitoring period of CG_L ends, but continues to monitor CG_L until the monitoring period is equal to the first 1.

Switch between DRX modes. Since the receiving end device can adopt the DRX mode, there is no need to continuously and uninterruptedly monitor unlicensed resources, thereby saving the power consumption of the receiving end device.
- Method 1 since the receiving end device determines whether to adopt the DRX mode or the non-DRX mode by monitoring unlicensed resources, it does not care whether the receiving end device and the sending end device are under network coverage. In other words, method 1 is applicable to scenarios where both the receiving end device and the sending end device are under network coverage, or one of the two is under network coverage, and neither of them is under network coverage.
- Uulink's low-power consumption mode allows the terminal device to enter a sleep state at some point without monitoring the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH).
- PDCCH physical downlink control channel
- the existing DRX modes are all implemented based on timers. Specifically, if the network device configures DRX parameters for the terminal device, the terminal device needs to detect the PDCCH on the configured on-duration. If a PDCCH is detected during this period, the terminal device needs to start a timer, and after starting the timer, continue to detect the PDCCH. If the PDCCH is not detected again, it will enter the sleep mode.
- the receiving end equipment does not detect the sideline signal and the downlink signal may not represent transmission
- the end device has no signal to send. Therefore, when the receiving end monitors the signal on the unlicensed resource configured by the network device, in addition to determining whether a sideline signal or downlink signal is detected, the receiving end device also needs to detect a sideline signal or downlink signal.
- the signal receiving energy on the unlicensed resource unit is judged, which can prevent the sender device from failing to send a signal due to unsuccessful listen before talk (LBT), which makes the receiver device misjudge the sender
- LBT listen before talk
- the device does not have a signal to send, but switches to the DRX mode by mistake, which may cause loss of signal or data, so as to improve the accuracy of the receiver's judgment on the signal sending status of the sender.
- the switching between the DRX mode and the non-DRX mode is that the receiving end device determines whether to adopt the DRX mode or the non-DRX mode by monitoring the signal sent by the transmitting end device and the network device on the unlicensed resource.

Description
本申请要求于2019年11月30日提交中国专利局、申请号为201911209066.0、申请名称为“用于非授权频段的DRX的方法和终端装置”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
本申请涉及无线通信技术领域,更具体地,涉及一种用于非授权频段的DRX的方法和终端装置。
和长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)相比,新空口(new radio,NR)支持更好的数据传输速率。在非授权频段中,发射端在先听后说(listen before talk,LBT)成功之后,才能向接收端发送数据。对接收端而言,为了避免数据丢失,通常会持续性地监测信道。然而,终端设备的电池寿命对用户体验有着较大影响,持续性地监测信道势必造成终端设备的功耗高,从而影响终端设备的续航时长,因此如何降低终端设备的功耗成为亟待解决的问题。
发明内容
本申请提供一种用于非授权频段的DRX的方法和终端装置,通过配置终端设备在保证通信效率的前提下采用特殊的信道监测机制,能够节省工作于非授权频段的终端设备的功耗。
第一方面,本申请提供一种用于非授权频段的DRX的方法,在该方法中第一终端装置在非DRX模式下监测P个非授权资源单元,非DRX模式为第一终端装置在所述P个非授权资源单元内的第一监测时长内监测信号;在第一终端装置在连续P个非授权资源单元未监测到对应第一终端装置的侧行信号和/或对应第一终端装置的下行信号的情况下,第一终端装置从非DRX模式切换到DRX模式,其中,在DRX模式下,非授权资源单元包括第二监测时长和休眠时长,DRX模式为第一终端装置在所述第二监测时长内监测信号,并在所述第二监测时长内未监测到对应第一终端装置的侧行信号和/或对应第一终端装置的下行信号的情况下,在所述休眠时长内停止监测,P≥1且P为整数。
在本技术方案中,支持sidelink的接收端设备(对应第一终端装置)在网络设备配置的非授权资源上进行信号监测,在满足连续P个非授权资源单元未监测到属于接收端设备的侧行信号和/或下行信号的情况下,接收端设备自主从非DRX模式切换到DRX模式。
接收端设备通过在非授权频段监测是否有属于接收端设备的侧行信号和/或下行信号,并在满足切换条件的情况下,从非DRX模式切换到DRX模式,从而不需要接收端设备持续地对非授权资源进行监测,可以节省功耗。
本申请的实施例既可以应用于基于非授权频段的sidelink场景中,也可以应用于基于非授权频段的Uu link场景中。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的某些实现方式中,所述未监测到对应第一终端装置的侧行信号和/或对应第一终端装置的下行信号的情况为以下一种或多种:
第一终端装置在连续P个非授权资源单元上监测到对应第一终端装置的侧行信号和/或对应第一终端装置的下行信号,所述侧行信号和/或所述下行信号的目的地址不同于第一终端装置的地址;或者,
第一终端装置在连续P个非授权资源单元上未监测到对应第一终端装置的侧行信号和/或对应第一终端装置的下行信号,且连续P个非授权资源单元上的接收信号强度低于预设门限。
考虑到通信设备在采用非授权频段进行通信场景下,接收端设备未监测到侧行信号和下行信号可能并不代表发送端设备没有信号需要发送,例如,发送端设备可能因为LBT失败而导致信号未发出。因此,接收端在网络设备配置的非授权资源上监测信号时,除了确定未监测到侧行信号或下行信号,接收端设备还需要在未监测到侧行信号和/或下行信号的情况下,进一步对非授权资源单元上的信号接收能量进行判断,可以避免发送端设备因LBT不成功导致无法发出信号,使得接收端设备误判发送端设备没有信号需要发送,而错误地切换到DRX模式,由此可能带来信号或数据的丢失的情况,可以提高接收端对发送端的信号发送情况的判断的准确率。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的某些实现方式中,第一终端装置从非DRX模式切换到DRX模式之后,所述方法还包括:第一终端装置在DRX模式下监测非授权资源单元;第一终端装置在所述第二监测时长内监测到对应第一终端装置的侧行信号和/或对应第一终端装置的下行信号的情况下,第一终端装置从DRX模式切换到非DRX模式。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的某些实现方式中,非授权资源单元在时域上包括多个时间单元,所述第二监测时长包括所述多个时间单元中的部分时间单元,所述时间单元为以下任意一项:毫秒、符号或时隙。
第二方面,本申请提供了一种用于非授权频段的DRX的方法,该方法包括:第一终端装置接收第一指示信息,第一指示信息用于指示第一终端装置采用非DRX模式或DRX模式,其中,非DRX模式为第一终端装置在非授权资源单元内的第一监测时长内监测信号,DRX模式为第一终端装置在非授权资源单元的第二监测时长内监测信号,并在所述第二监测时长内未监测到对应第一终端装置的侧行信号和/或对应第一终端装置的下行信号的情况下,在非授权资源单元的休眠时长内停止监测;第一终端装置根据第一指示信息,采用DRX模式或非DRX模式。
通过侧行链路进行通信的接收端设备,根据来自侧行链路的发送端设备的第一指示信息,进行DRX模式和非DRX模式的切换。或者,发送端设备向网络设备指示接收端设备采用DRX模式或非DRX模式,再由网络设备通过第一指示信息通知接收端设备采用DRX模式或非DRX模式,也即,通过Uu链路辅助接收端设备实现DRX。从而,可以节省接收端设备的功耗。
另外,sidelink的发送端通过主动指示接收端的模式切换,可以避免第一方面的方法中由接收端监测发送端的信号来确定模式切换,而存在切换延时的问题。因此,和第一方 面的方案相比,第二方面的方法或其任意的实现方式可以有效降低切换的延时。
结合第二方面,在第二方面的某些实现方式中,第一指示信息携带于来自网络设备的SSB、RRC信令、PDSCH的MAC CE或DCI中。
网络设备可以通过多种方式向第一终端装置发送第一指示信息,提高了指示的灵活性。
结合第二方面,在第二方面的某些实现方式中,第一指示信息为第一信号或第二信号,所述第一信号用于指示第一终端装置采用DRX模式,所述第二信号用于指示第一终端装置采用非DRX模式。
通过设置两种不同的信号,每一种信号本身用于指示DRX模式或非DRX模式中的一种。从而,第一终端装置通过监测信号本身,可以确定采用DRX模式或非DRX模式。通过这种隐式指示的方式,可以避免通过专门的信令指示第一终端装置而带来的额外的信令开销。
结合第二方面,在第二方面的某些实现方式中,第一信号为第一DMRS,第二信号为第二DMRS,构成第一DMRS和第二DMRS的参考序列不同。
结合第二方面,在第二方面的某些实现方式中,第一终端装置接收第一指示信息之前,该方法还包括:第一终端装置向网络设备注册第一终端装置的侧行链路物理层的地址信息。
第三方面,本申请提供了一种用于非授权频段的DRX的方法,该方法包括:第二终端装置发送第一指示信息或第二指示信息,第一指示信息或第二指示信息用于指示第一终端装置采用非DRX模式或DRX模式,其中,非DRX模式为第一终端装置在非授权资源单元的第一监测时长内监测信号,DRX模式为第一终端装置在非授权资源单元的第二监测时长内监测信号,并在所述第二监测时长内未监测到对应第一终端装置的侧行信号和/或对应第一终端装置的下行信号的情况下,在非授权资源单元内的休眠时长内停止监测。
在该实施例中,第二终端装置可以直接向第一终端装置发送第一指示信息,第一指示信息用于指示第一终端装置采用DRX模式或非DRX模式。
或者,第二终端装置向网络设备发送第二指示信息,由网络设备解调第二指示信息并获知第二终端装置所指示的DRX模式或非DRX模式之后,再由网络设备向第一终端装置发送第一指示信息,第一指示信息指示DRX模式或非DRX模式。
在该技术方案中,通过Uu链路的辅助,sidelink的发送端(对应第二终端装置)通过网络设备向接收端(对应第一终端装置)指示采用DRX模式或非DRX模式,可以避免由于发送端在sidelink上LBT不成功,用于指示第一终端装置的模式切换的指示信息不能及时发出去的缺点,能够降低模式切换的时延。
结合第三方面,在第三方面的某些实现方式中,第一指示信息携带于第二终端装置发送的SL-SSB或者PC5-RRC信令中。
结合第三方面,在第三方面的某些实现方式中,第二指示信息携带于所述第二终端终端装置发送的PUSCH的MAC CE或第一类型的PUCCH中,第一类型的PUCCH在时域上占满一个时隙。

结合第三方面,在第三方面的某些实现方式中,第一信号为第一DMRS,第二信号为第二DMRS,构成所述第一DMRS和所述第二DMRS的参考序列不同。
结合第三方面,在第三方面的某些实现方式中,所述第一信号为第二类型的第一PUCCH,所述第二信号为第二类型的第二PUCCH,构成所述第一PUCCH和所述第二PUCCH的参考序列不同,第二类型的PUCCH在时域上未占满一个时隙。
结合第三方面,在第三方面的某些实现方式中,所述第一信号为第一调度请求SR,所述第二信号为第二SR,构成所述第一SR和所述第二SR的参考序列不同。
结合第三方面,在第三方面的某些实现方式中,第二终端装置发送第一信号或第二信号之前,该方法还包括:第二终端装置向网络设备注册第二终端装置的侧行链路物理层的地址信息。
第四方面,本申请提供了一种用于非授权频段的DRX的方法,该方法包括:网络设备从第二终端装置接收第二指示信息,第二指示信息用于指示第一终端装置采用非DRX模式或DRX模式,其中,非DRX模式为第一终端装置在非授权资源单元内的第一监测时长内监测信号,DRX模式为第一终端装置在非授权资源单元内的第二监测时长内监测信号,并在所述第二监测时长内未监测到对应第一终端装置的侧行信号和/或对应第一终端装置的下行信号的情况下,在非授权资源单元内的休眠时长内停止监测;所述网络设备根据第二指示信息,向第一终端装置发送第一指示信息,第一指示信息用于指示非DRX模式或DRX模式。
网络设备通过Uu链路,从sidelink的发送端(对应第二终端装置)接收第二指示信息,第二指示信息用于指示sidelink的接收端(对应第一终端装置)采用DRX模式或非DRX模式。网络设备再借助Uu链路,向接收端发送第一指示信息,第一指示信息用于指示接收端采用DRX模式或非DRX模式。在本技术方案中,通过Uu链路的辅助,可以使工作于sidelink的非授权频段的接收端实现DRX,可以节省接收端的功耗。
可选地,在该实施例中,Uu link可以工作于授权频段或非授权频段。
在一种实现中,通过Uu链路的授权频段的辅助,sidelink的发送端(对应第二终端装置)通过网络设备向接收端(对应第一终端装置)指示采用DRX模式或非DRX模式,和第二方面或第三方面的方法相比,可以避免由于发送端(例如,网络设备)在sidelink上LBT不成功,用于指示第一终端装置的模式切换的第一指示信息不能及时发出去的缺点,能够降低模式切换的时延。
结合第四方面,在第四方面的某些实现方式中,第二指示信息携带于来自第二终端装置的PUSCH的MAC CE或第一类型的PUCCH中。
第二终端装置可以通过多种方式向网络设备指示DRX模式或非DRX模式,提高了指示的灵活性。
结合第四方面,在第四方面的某些实现方式中,第二指示信息为第一信号或第二信号,所述第一信号用于指示第一终端装置采用DRX模式,所述第二信号用于指示第一终端装置采用非DRX模式;所述网络设备根据第二指示信息,向第一终端装置发送第一指示信息,第一指示信息用于指示第一终端装置采用非DRX模式或DRX模式,包括:网络设备接收到来自第二终端装置的所述第一信号,网络设备向第一终端装置发送第一指示信息, 第一指示信息用于指示DRX模式;或者,网络设备接收到来自第二终端装置的所述第二信号,网络设备向第一终端装置发送第一指示信息,第一指示信息用于指示非DRX模式。
通过设置两种不同的信号,每一种信号本身用于指示DRX模式或非DRX模式中的一种。从而,网络设备根据来自第二终端装置的信号本身,可以确定第二终端装置指示第一终端装置采用DRX模式或非DRX模式,进而再通过第一指示信息通知第一终端装置。通过这种隐式指示的方式,可以避免第二终端装置通过专门的信令或指示信息指示网络设备而带来的额外的信令开销和资源开销。
结合第四方面,在第四方面的某些实现方式中,所述第一信号为第二类型的第一PUCCH,所述第二信号为第二类型的第二PUCCH,构成所述第一PUCCH和所述第二PUCCH的参考序列不同。
结合第四方面,在第四方面的某些实现方式中,所述第一信号为第一调度请求SR,所述第二信号为第二SR,构成所述第一SR和所述第二SR的参考序列不同。
结合第四方面,在第四方面的某些实现方式中,网络设备接收来自第二终端装置的第二指示信息之前,该方法还包括:网络设备接收来自于第一终端装置的第一地址信息以及来自于第二终端装置的第二地址信息,其中,第一地址信息为所述第一终端装置的侧行链路物理层的地址信息,第二地址信息为所述第二终端装置的侧行链路物理层的地址信息;网络设备根据第二指示信息,向第一终端装置发送第一指示信息,包括:网络设备向第一地址信息所对应的第一终端装置发送第一指示信息,其中,第一地址信息是网络设备根据接收第二指示信息的空口链路物理层的地址信息以及映射关系确定的,映射关系记录了第一地址信息、第二地址信息以及第一终端装置和第二终端装置各自的空口链路物理层的地址信息之间的对应关系。

下面将结合附图,对本申请中的技术方案进行描述。
本申请的技术方案主要应用在工作于非授权(unlicensed)频段的无线通信***,例如,全球互联微波接入(worldwide interoperability for microwave access,WiMAX)通信***、工作于非授权频段的第五代(the 5
th generation,5G)通信***或其它通信***,以及5G之后的工作于非授权频段的无线通信***等。
本申请中涉及的网络设备包括但不限于:演进型节点B(evolved node base,eNB)、无线网络控制器(radio network controller,RNC)、节点B(node B,NB)、基站控制器(base station controller,BSC)、基站收发台(base transceiver station,BTS)、家庭基站(home evolved NodeB,或home node B,HNB)、基带单元(baseband Unit,BBU)、演进的(evolved LTE,eLTE)基站、NR基站(next generation node B,gNB)等。或者,网络设备或者还可以为集中式单元(centralized unit,CU)或分布式单元(distributed unit,DU)。
本申请中涉及的终端设备包括但不限于:用户设备(user equipment,UE)、移动台、接入终端、用户单元、用户站、移动站、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、终端、无线通信设备、用户代理、无线局域网(wireless local access network,WLAN)中的站点(station,ST)、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、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、5G网络中的移动台以及未来演进的网络中的终端设备等中的任意一种。其中,车载设备还可以是车载通信模块或其它嵌入式通信模块。车载通信模块也可以称为车载终端设备或车载单元(on-board unit,OBU)。本申请实施例的终端设备还可以是作为一个或多个部件或者单元而内置于车辆的车载模块、车载模组、车载部件、车载芯片或者车载单元。车辆通过内置的所述车载模块、车载模组、车载部件、车载芯片或者车载单元可以实施本申请的方法。
此外,终端设备还可以为车联网(vehicle-to-everything,V2X)、智能网联汽车(intelligent connected vehicle,ICV)、自动驾驶或辅助驾驶等通信***等任何终端设备和终端设备(device to device,D2D)通信***中的终端设备。
参见图1,图1为适用于本申请实施例的通信***的架构的示例。如图1所示,该无线通信***可以包括至少一个网络设备和至少一个终端设备。网络设备如图1中所示的110和120,终端设备如图1中所示的111-119。
可选地,网络设备和终端设备之间可以通过Uu链路(Uu link)进行数据传输。例如,网络设备110和终端设备111,112,113以及114和115之间通过Uu链路进行传输。Uu链路可以工作于授权频段(licensed band)和/或非授权频段。
此外,终端设备之间还可以通过侧行链路(sidelink,SL)进行数据传输。例如,终端设备114与115,以及114与116之间通过侧行链路进行数据传输。sidelink也可以工作于授权频段或非授权频段(Un-licensed band)。
应理解,图1中所示仅是作为示例。该无线通信***中还可以包括其它的网络设备。
另外,本文中提及的终端设备之间的数据传输可以包括多种场景。
在一种可能的场景下,两个或多个位于网络设备110的网络覆盖下的终端设备之间进行数据传输,例如,114与115,或者114与116,以及115与116之间的数据传输。
在另一种可能的场景下,通过sidelink进行数据传输的一个终端设备位于一个网络设 备的网络覆盖之下,另一个终端设备可以位于该一个网络设备的网络覆盖之外。
例如,终端设备114位于网络设备110的网络覆盖之下,终端设备117位于网络设备120的网络的覆盖之下。例如,114和117之间的数据传输。
又例如,终端设备117位于网络设备120的网络覆盖下,终端设备118与网络设备120之间未建立连接。
在再一种可能的场景下,通过sidelink进行数据传输的两个终端设备可以均位于网络设备120的覆盖之外,或者说,通过sidelink进行数据传输的两个终端设备与网络设备120之间没有建立连接。例如,118和119之间的数据传输。
以上,终端设备与网络设备未建立连接的场景下,两个终端设备之间可以通过无线保真(wireless fidelity,wifi)或蓝牙等技术建立连接。
针对上述不同场景,本申请的技术方案均可以在sidelink上实现接收端设备的DRX,从而起到节省接收端设备功耗的目的。
需要说明的是,本申请的技术方案虽然是为了支持终端设备在sidelink上实现DRX,但是部分实施例涉及到通过Uu链路辅助终端设备在sidelink上实现DRX。Uu链路对应的授权资源的配置和使用可以采用现有机制。例如,网络设备为终端设备配置授权资源。在网络设备的调度下,终端设备使用授权资源向网络设备发送上行信号,或者从网络设备接收下行信号。
本领域技术人员可以理解,本文中的接收端设备或者发送端设备,是从数据传输方向的角度定义的。例如,接收端设备是指通过sidelink进行通信的两个终端设备中接收信号和/或数据的一方。
下面对本申请的技术方案进行详细说明。
网络设备为采用非授权频段进行数据传输的两个或多个终端设备配置非授权资源,终端设备在网络设备配置的非授权资源上发送和接收侧行信号。
终端设备为可以支持侧行链路进行通信的终端设备(为便于描述,称为“sidelink的终端设备”)和/或支持Uu链路与网络设备进行无线通信的终端设备。
可选地,非授权资源可以为周期的资源或非周期的资源。在一种实现中,当非授权资源为周期的资源时,可以为配置调度(configured grant,CG)的资源。
作为一个示例,sidelink的非授权资源单元具体可以为非周期的资源,或者CG的资源。Uu link的非授权资源可以为非周期资源。
可选地,在一种实现中,网络设备为终端设备配置周期性的非授权资源单元。不同的两个非授权资源单元的大小可以相同,也可以不同。
可选地,在另一种实现中,网络设备为终端设备配置的非授权资源也可以为时域上连续的非授权资源单元。当非授权资源单元在时域上连续的情况下,该非授权资源即为非周期的资源。
参见图2,图2的(a)和(b)为本申请提供的非授权资源的示意图。如图2的(a)所示,非授权资源可以为周期的资源。周期的非授权资源可以由周期的非授权资源单元组成,在时域上连续出现的两个非授权资源单元之间的时间间隔大于0。其中,非授权资源单元的周期可以为时域上连续出现的两个非授权资源单元的起始时刻之间的时间间隔,或者,也可以为其各自结束时刻之间的时间间隔。再如图2的(b)所示,非授权资源可以 为非周期的资源。非周期的资源在时域上是连续的,或者不间断的。可选地,非周期的资源也可以由非授权资源单元组成,与周期的资源不同的是,连续出现的两个非授权资源单元之间的时间间隔等于0。
其中,非授权资源单元可以进一步由若干个更小时间长度的时间单元组成,所述时间单元可以不限于为毫秒(ms)、符号(symbol)或时隙(slot)等。
例如,一个非授权资源单元可以包括8个slot、10个slot。或者,一个非授权资源单元可以包括8ms或10ms。或者,一个非授权资源单元可以包括(8×14)个符号,或者(10×14)个符号等。
因此,侧行通信的接收端采用DRX模式或非DRX模式,实际上描述了接收端监测非授权资源的模式。
例如,DRX模式是指侧行通信的接收端不需要持续或者不需要连续地监测非授权资源。非授权资源可以包括监控时长和休眠时长。接收端只在监控时长对非授权资源进行监测,而在休眠时长内不作监测,进入休眠。
非DRX模式是指侧行通信的接收端持续或者连续地监测非授权资源。
网络设备需要为终端设备配置用于DRX的相关参数,以使终端设备在非授权频段实现DRX,例如,sidelink或Uu link的非授权频段。
在一种实现方式中,终端设备的用于DRX的这些相关参数,可以由网络设备通过RRC信令发送给终端设备。由于RRC信令是针对UE的,或者说RRC信令属于UE的专用信令,而在sidelink的场景下,为了保证终端设备之间相同的DRX操作,网络设备需要为建立sidelink的终端设备配置相同的DRX的相关参数。
以下为了描述上的方便,将DRX的相关参数称为DRX参数。
可选地,DRX参数可以包括连续监测参数P和预设门限。监测参数P和预设门限用于sidelink的接收端确定监测非授权资源所采用的模式,例如,采用DRX模式或非DRX模式。
在一个示例中,应用于侧行链路上时,预设门限可以为侧行链路接收信号强度指示(sidelink received signal strength indicator,SL-RSSI)的检测门限Pd。而应用于Uu链路时,预设门限可以为Uu链路上的接收信号强度指示(received signal strength indicator,RSSI)的检测门限。
如上文的说明,本申请可以提供sidelink的多种场景下实现DRX的技术方案。下面一一进行说明。
下文将进行sidelink通信的接收端称为第一终端装置,将进行sidelink通信的发送端称为第二终端装置。
方式1
第一终端装置监测非授权资源,并在满足预设条件的情况下,进行非DRX模式和DRX模式之间的切换。
如上文所述,非授权资源可以由非授权资源单元组成,所述非授权资源单元在时域上可以是连续的,也可以是周期性的。第一终端装置可以以非授权资源单元为单位对非授权资源进行监测。
可以理解的是,通过sidelink进行通信的两个或多个终端设备可以在建立连接之后默 认采用非DRX模式监测非授权资源单元。在非DRX模式下监测非授权资源的过程中,如果满足切换到DRX模式的条件,则从非DRX模式切换到DRX模式。
在一个示例中,第一终端装置在非DRX模式下监测非授权资源单元,当第一终端装置在连续P个非授权资源单元未监测到对应第一终端装置的侧行信号和/或对应第一终端装置的下行信号的情况下,第一终端装置从非DRX模式切换为DRX模式。
这里,所述对应第一终端装置的侧行信号,可以为所述第一终端装置建立的侧行链路上接收到的目的地址为第一终端装置的侧行信号。例如,来自第二终端装置的目的地址为第一终端装置的接收地址的侧行信号。
所述对应第一终端装置的下行信号,可以为第一终端装置所接入的网络设备发送的目的地址为第一终端装置的接收地址的下行信号。
第一终端装置监测非授权资源单元,并在满足预设条件的情况下,进行DRX模式和非DRX模式的切换。
在一些实现中,第一终端装置在满足如下条件之一时,第一终端装置从非DRX模式切换到DRX模式:
预设条件1:第一终端装置在连续P个非授权资源单元上监测到对应第一终端装置的侧行信号和/或对应第一终端装置的下行信号,但是所述侧行信号和/或下行信号的目的接收地址和第一终端装置的接收地址不同。
需说明的是,侧行信号的目的接收地址和第一终端装置的接收地址不同,表明该侧行信号不是发送给第一终端装置的。同样地,下行信号的目的接收地址和第一终端装置的接收地址不同,表明该下行信号不是发送给第一终端装置的。
预设条件2:第一终端装置在连续P个非授权资源单元上未检测到对应第一终端装置的侧行信号或对应第一终端装置的下行信号,且连续P个非授权资源单元上的RSSI小于预设门限。
第一终端装置在非DRX模式下监测非授权资源单元的过程中,如果满足了上述预设条件1或预设条件2中的一个,则满足了从非DRX模式切换到DRX模式的条件,第一终端装置则在第P+1个非授权资源单元切换为DRX模式。
具体地,网络设备为sidelink的接收端(对应第一终端装置)和发送端(对应第二终端装置)配置非授权资源。第一终端装置在非DRX模式下监测非授权资源单元,当满足连续P个非授权资源单元上未监测到第一终端装置的侧行信号,以及未监测到第一终端装置的下行信号的情况下,第一终端装置从非DRX模式切换为DRX模式。
当然,如果将网络设备配置的非授权资源应用于实现Uu链路的DRX的情况下,第一终端装置在非DRX模式下监测下行信号。当满足连续P个非授权资源单元上未监测到第一终端装置的下行信号的情况下,第一终端装置从非DRX模式切换到DRX模式。
在非DRX模式下,第一终端装置监测非授权资源单元时,可以在非授权资源单元的部分或全部时长内进行监测信号。如果第一终端装置在非授权资源单元的部分时长监测信号,所述部分时长在本文中称为第一监测时长。
当第一监测时长等于非授权资源单元的全部时长时,也即第一终端装置在非授权资源单元的全部时长内监测信号。当第一监测时长等于非授权资源单元的部分时长时,第一终端装置在第一监测时长内监测信号,而在非授权资源单元内除了第一监测时长之外的其它 时长内可以执行休眠之外的其它操作。例如,第一终端装置可以在第一监测时长之外的其它时长内发送上行信号或侧行信号。
在DRX模式下,非授权资源单元包括监测时长和休眠时长。其中,DRX模式下非授权资源单元的监测时长在本文中称为第二监测时长。
需要说明的是,终端装置在休眠时长内既不监测(或者说,接收)下行信号和侧行信号,也不发送上行信号或侧行信号。
此外,需要注意的是,在非DRX模式下,在非授权资源单元除了第一监测时长之外的其它时长内,终端装置虽然不进行信号监测,但是该终端装置可以发送上行信号或侧行信号,这和DRX模式的休眠时长不同。
可选地,本文中不限定第一监测时长和第二监测时长的大小关系。例如,第一监测时长可以等于、大于或者小于第二监测时长。
可选地,第二监测时长可以为非授权资源单元的部分时长,即第二检测时长的长度小于非授权资源单元的时长。
在一些实施例中,非授权资源单元在时域上可以包括多个时间单元,所述时间单元可以为毫秒、符号(symbol)或时隙(slot)等。第二监测时间可以包括所述多个时间单元内的部分时间单元。该多个时间单元内除第二检测时间以外剩余的时间单元的总时长为休眠时长。
上文已经介绍过,非授权资源单元可以包括若干个时间单元,所述时间单元不限于为毫秒、符号或时隙等。
这里,第二监测时长作为非授权资源单元的部分时长,第二监测时长也可以包括所述若干个时间单元中的部分时间单元。
例如,第二监测时长为非授权资源单元的前T毫秒、前T个symbol或前T个slot等,T≥1,且T小于非授权资源单元所包含的时间单元的个数。
下面结合图3给出一个终端设备从非DRX模式下监测非授权资源单元,并在满足预设条件的情况下,从非DRX模式切换到DRX模式的示例。
图3的示例中,非授权资源可用于sidelink以及Uu链路的通信。因此,第一终端装置对非授权资源单元的监测包括对侧行信号和下行信号的监测。同时,假设sidelink和Uu link上的RSSI的门限分别为门限1和门限2。
参见图3,图3为本申请提供的用于非授权频段的DRX的一个示例。如图3所示,假定第一终端装置处于非DRX模式,以及,网络设备为第一终端装置和第二终端装置配置了周期性的非授权资源单元。非授权资源单元表示为CG。根据上文对侧行链路上非DRX模式的定义,在非DRX模式下,第一终端装置在每个非授权资源单元的第一监测时长内监测信号。
在图3的示例中,第一监测时长等于非授权资源单元的全部时长。图3中,将第一终端装置记作UE1。
根据图3的示例,UE1在CG_1的第一监测时长内监测到对应UE1的侧行信号和/或对应UE1的下行信号,则UE1在CG_2继续保持非DRX模式。UE1继续在CG_2的第一时长内监测是否有发送给UE1的侧行信号和/或下行信号。假设UE1在CG_2未监测到发送给UE1的侧行信号和下行信号,则UE1在CG_3继续保持非DRX模式。如果从CG_2 到CG_N共P个CG,UE1监测到侧行信号或下行信号,但所述侧行信号或下行信号的目的接收地址不是UE1的地址。或者,UE1在这P个CG未监测到侧行信号或下行信号,且侧行链路SL-RSSI小于预设的SL-RSSI的门限1,且Uu链路的RSSI小于预设的Uu链路的门限2。UE1则在CG_N+1切换为DRX模式。
应理解,如果非授权资源仅应用于sidelink的通信,第一终端装置只需要在连续P个非授权资源单元上未监测到侧行信号,且SL-RSSI小于门限1,第一终端装置则从非DRX模式切换为DRX模式。
又例如,如果非授权资源仅应用于sidelink的通信,第一终端装置只需要在连续P个非授权资源单元上未监测到下行信号,且Uu链路上的RSSI小于门限2,第一终端装置则从非DRX模式切换为DRX模式。
在DRX模式下,UE1只在CG_N+1的第二监测时长监测信号。如果在第二监测时长内未监测到发送给UE1的侧行信号或下行信号,UE1在CG_N+1的休眠时长内停止监测信号,进行休眠。在CG_N+2,UE1继续保持DRX模式,即在CG_N+2的第二监测时长内监测信号,如果在CG_N+2的第二监测时长内未监测到发送给UE1的侧行信号和下行信号,则在CG_N+2的休眠时长内停止信号监测,进入休眠。以此类推,不再赘述。
在图3中,从CG_N+1到CG_M,UE1始终保持DRX模式监测信号。
UE1采用DRX模式监测非授权资源单元,直到满足从DRX模式切换到非DRX模式的条件,UE1又从DRX模式切换到非DRX模式,如图4所示。
参见图4,图4为UE在DRX模式和非DRX模式之间切换的一个示例。如图4所示,在DRX模式下,UE1在CG的第二监测时长内监测信号,如果在第二监测时长内未监测到对应UE1的侧行信号或下行信号,UE1在CG的休眠时长内停止监测。假设UE1从CG_M+1开始,在CG_M+1的第二监测时长内未监测到发送给UE1的侧行信号或下行信号,UE在CG_M+1的休眠时长内停止信号监测。在CG_M+2,UE1继续保持采用DRX模式,以此类推。假设UE1在CG_L的第二监测时长内监测到对应UE1的侧行信号和/或下行信号,UE1在CG_L的第二监测时长结束之后,不再进入休眠,而是继续监测CG_L直至监测时长等于第一监测时长。此时,UE从DRX模式切换到非DRX模式。
可以理解的是,如果网络设备配置的非DRX模式下的非授权资源单元的第一监测时长和DRX模式下的非授权资源单元的第二监测时长不同,则UE1从DRX模式切换到非DRX模式时,需要从第二监测时长切换为第一监测时长。
在另一种实现中,第一监测时长可以等于第二监测时长。这种实现中,UE1在CG_L的第二监测时长内监测到对应UE1的侧行信号和/或下行信号的情况下,第二监测时长结束之后,UE1则从DRX模式切换为非DRX模式。
可见,在DRX模式下,UE1只要在CG的第二监测时长内监测到对应UE1的侧行信号或下行信号,UE1则切换为非DRX模式。
另外,如图4所示,在非DRX模式下,第一监测时长为非授权资源单元的一部分。UE1在第一监测时长内监测信号,在第一监测时长内若为监测到侧行信号和/或下行信号,则在非授权资源单元的剩余时长可以执行休眠之外的其它操作,例如,发送上行信号或侧行信号。
需要说明的是,图3、图4以及后文的图8中,以非授权资源为CG的资源作为示例。 因此,图示中将非授权资源单元标记为CG。根据上文对非授权资源的说明,非授权资源还可以配置为CG的资源之外的其它资源或形式。因此,图3,图4以及图8不应对本申请中的非授权资源构成任何限定。
在方式1中,接收端设备在网络设备配置的非授权资源单元上监测是否有发送给接收端设备的侧行信号或下行信号,并根据监测的结果以及预设条件,可以在DRX模式和非DRX模式之间进行切换。由于接收端设备可以采用DRX模式,不需要持续、不间断地监测非授权资源,从而节省接收端设备的功耗。
另外,方式1的方案中,由于接收端设备是通过监测非授权资源来确定采用DRX模式或非DRX模式,因此,并不关注接收端设备和发送端设备是否处于网络覆盖下。换句话说,方式1对于接收端设备和发送端设备均处于网络覆盖下,或者两者之一处于网络覆盖下,以及两者均未处于网络覆盖下的场景都是适用的。
现有蜂窝网技术除了支持网络设备和终端设备之间的数据传输,也支持sidelink的数据传输。例如,LTE和NR都支持SL。但是,SL上并不支持终端设备低功耗的操作。即是说,两个终端设备之间建立sidelink之后,终端设备需要一直对信道进行监测,直到建立的连接断开。为了降低终端设备的功耗,于是人们想到将Uu link的DRX模式应用于sidelink。
Uu link的低功耗模式,可以让终端设备在某些时候进入睡眠状态,不去监听物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel,PDCCH)。在需要监听PDCCH的时候,从睡眠状态唤醒,去监听PDCCH。由于终端设备不需要持续地监听信道,从而达到节省终端设备的功耗的目的。
现有的DRX模式都是基于定时器实现。具体地,网络设备为终端设备配置了DRX参数,则终端设备需要在配置的on-duration上检测PDCCH。若在此期间检测到了PDCCH,则终端设备需要启动定时器,启动定时器之后,继续检测PDCCH。若没有再次检测到PDCCH,则会进入睡眠模式。
但是,直接将网络设备和终端设备之间的DRX模式应用到SL中并不可行。由于sidelink的通信遵守LBT机制,而LBT的不确定性,如果接收端根据定时器来判断发送端的信号发送情况,很多时候会造成误判,导致数据丢失等情况出现,严重影响sidelink通信的质量。可见,直接将Uu链路上的DRX机制应用到侧行链路是不可行的。
在方式1中,结合sidelink本申请的特点,考虑到通信设备(例如,终端设备或网络设备)工作于非授权频段场景下,接收端设备未监测到侧行信号和下行信号可能并不代表发送端设备没有信号需要发送,因此,接收端在网络设备配置的非授权资源上监测信号时,除了确定是否监测到侧行信号或下行信号,接收端设备还需要在未监测到侧行信号或下行信号的情况下,对非授权资源单元上的信号接收能量进行判决,可以避免发送端设备因先听后说(listen before talk,LBT)不成功导致无法发出信号,使得接收端设备误判发送端设备没有信号需要发送,而错误地切换到DRX模式,由此可能带来信号或数据的丢失的情况,以提高接收端对发送端的信号发送情况的判断的准确率。
上述方式1中,DRX模式和非DRX模式的切换,是接收端设备通过在非授权资源上监测发送端设备以及网络设备发送信号的情况,来确定采用DRX模式或非DRX模式。下面介绍一些其它实现方式,如下文的方式2和方式3。
方式2
第二终端装置指示第一终端装置进行模式切换。
参见图5,图5为采用方式2在非授权频段实现DRX的示意性流程图。
510、第二终端装置向第一终端装置发送第一指示信息,第一指示信息用于指示第一终端装置采用DRX模式或非DRX模式。
其中,关于DRX模式和非DRX模式的说明参见方式1中的说明,不再赘述。
520、第一终端装置根据第一指示信息,采用DRX模式或非DRX模式。
需要说明的是,第一终端接收来自第二终端装置的第一指示信息,包括多种可能的场景。
在一种可能的场景下,第一终端装置和第二终端装置进行侧行通信,例如,第一终端装置与第二终端装置均未与网络设备建立连接,或者只有第二终端装置(也即,发送终端设备)与网络设备建立连接,或者,两者分别与不同的网络设备建立连接,或者两者与同一个网络设备建立连接但是需要两个终端装置彼此之间建立同步。在这些场景下,第一终端装置和第二终端装置进行侧行通信之前,第二终端装置向第一终端装置发送侧行链路同步信号块(sidelink-synchronisation signal block,SL-SSB),SL-SSB中携带第一指示信息。其中,第一指示信息用于指示第一终端装置采用非DRX模式或DRX模式。
在NR中,SL-SSB包括主同步信号(primary synchronization signal,PSS)、辅同步信号(secondary synchronization signal,SSS)和物理广播信道(physical broadcast channel,PBCH)。可选地,第一指示信息可以携带在SL-SSB的PBCH中。例如,PBCH中携带1个比特,0表示非DRX模式,1表示DRX模式;或者1表示非DRX模式,0表示DRX模式。
第一终端装置从第二终端装置接收SL-SSB,并从PBCH中获取第一指示信息。根据第一指示信息,第一终端装置采用非DRX模式或者DRX模式。
可选地,如果第一指示信息用于指示非DRX模式,第一终端装置在和第二终端装置同步之后,采用非DRX模式监测非授权资源单元。如果第一指示信息指示DRX模式,第一终端装置在和第二终端装置同步之后,采用DRX模式监测非授权资源单元。
可选地,所述SL-SSB可以是第二终端装置在与第一终端装置同步过程中发送的,也可以是在同步并建立连接之后发送的,不作限定。
可选地,在另一个场景下,第一终端装置和第二终端装置建立sidelink之后,第二终端装置再通过第一指示信息指示第一终端装置采用DRX模式或非DRX模式。
可选地,在一个实施例中,第二终端装置和第一终端装置建立sidelink之后,第二终端装置通过PC5接口-无线资源控制(PC5-radio resource control,PC5-RRC)信令向第一终端装置发送第一指示信息。也就是说,第一指示信息携带于PC5-RRC信令中发送。
应理解,PC5接口是终端设备之间的一种接口。
例如,第二终端装置向第一终端装置发送PC5-RRC信令,PC5-RRC信令中携带所述第一指示信息,第一指示信息用于指示第一终端装置采用非DRX模式或DRX模式。
第一终端装置在侧行链路上接收来自第二终端装置的第一指示信息,并根据第一指示信息确定后续采用DRX模式或非DRX模式。
下面结合图6,以SL-SSB携带第一指示信息为例,说明第二终端装置向第一终端装 置指示DRX模式或非DRX模式。
参见图6,图6是通过SL-SSB指示接收端采用DRX模式或非DRX模式的一个示例。如图6所示,第二终端装置在SL-SSB的发送窗口内发送SL-SSB。第一终端装置在非DRX模式下,在SL-SSB的窗口内接收SL-SSB。第一终端装置解调SL-SSB,如果SL-RRB没有携带第一指示信息,或者SL-SSB的PBCH携带第一指示信息,且第一指示信息指示非DRX模式,第一终端装置从网络设备配置的非授权参数中选择和非DRX模式对应的一组非授权参数。在图6中,SL-SSB的发送窗口表示为发现参考信号(discovery reference signal,DRS)窗口。SL-SSB的周期表示为发现参考信号测量时间配置(discovery reference signal measurement timing configuration,DMTC)周期。
假设第一终端装置在第N个CG(如图6中所示的CG_A)之后的第一个DRS窗口内接收到SL-SSB,SL-SSB的PBCH中携带第一指示信息,第一指示信息用于指示DRX模式。第一终端装置在第(N+1)个非授权资源单元从非DRX模式切换为DRX模式。
在图6中,非DRX模式下的非授权资源单元表示为CG_A,DRX模式下的非授权资源单元表示为CG_D。
可选地,CG_A和CG_D的周期和大小可以相同,也可以不同。例如,CG_A的大小和CG_D相同,但是周期不同。或者,CG_A的大小和CG_D的周期相同,但是大小不同。本文不作限定。
在上面的实施例中,第二终端装置通过第一指示信息向第一终端装置显式指示非DRX模式或DRX模式。
在另一个实施例中,第一指示信息可以隐式的。第一指示信息可以为第一信号或第二信号,第一信号或第二信号本身用于指示DRX模式或非DRX模式。
在一个示例中,第二终端装置通过用于解调PBCH的参考信号指示第一终端装置监测非授权资源的模式为非DRX模式或DRX模式。
网络设备为第二终端装置配置两种不同的参考信号,下文分别称为第一参考信号和第二参考信号。第二终端装置发送第一参考信号,表示第二终端装置指示第一终端装置采用DRX模式。第二终端装置发送第二参考信号,表示第二终端装置指示第一终端装置采用非DRX模式。
可选地,所述第一参考信号和第二参考信号具体可以为解调参考信号(demodulation reference signal,DMRS)。例如,网络设备为第一终端装置解调SL-SSB中PBCH的两种DMRS,这两种DMRS的参考序列不同。
第一终端装置通过盲检确定DMRS的参考序列,从而确定采用非DRX模式或DRX模式。例如,第一终端装置检测到第一参考序列的DMRS,表示第二终端装置指示DRX模式。第一终端装置检测到第二参考序列的DMRS,表示第二终端装置指示非DRX模式。
可选地,在另一些实施例中,第二终端装置也可以通过DMRS之外的其它参考信号或信号隐式指示DRX模式或非DRX模式。
例如,网络设备配置不同参考序列的两种信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information reference signal,CSI-RS)。一种CSRS用于指示DRX模式,另一种CSI-RS用于指示非DRX模式。第一终端装置根据检测到的CSRS的参考序列,可以确定采用DRX模式或非DRX模式。
在方式2中,sidelink的发送端通过主动指示接收端的模式切换,可以避免如方式1中由接收端监测发送端的信号确定模式切换而存在的切换延时的问题。因此,方式2可以有效降低模式切换的延时。
以上方式1和方式2均是通过sidelink链路本身的操作进行非DRX模式和DRX模式的切换。下面再提供一种通过Uu链路辅助sidelink的接收端(也即,第一终端装置)进行模式切换的方法,如下文的方式3。
方式3
第二终端装置通过和网络设备之间的Uu链路,向网络设备指示DRX模式或非DRX模式。网络设备在获知第二终端装置指示的模式之后,通过网络设备和第一终端装置之间的Uu链路,将第二终端装置指示的模式通知第一终端装置。
参见图7,图7为本申请提供的实现DRX的另一个示意性流程图。
610、第二终端装置向网络设备发送第二指示信息。其中,第二指示信息用于指示第一终端装置采用DRX模式或非DRX模式。
网络设备接收来自第二终端装置的第二指示信息,确定第二终端装置指示的模式。
620、网络设备向第一终端装置发送第一指示信息,第一指示信息用于指示DRX模式或非DRX模式。
第一终端装置接收来自网络设备的第一指示信息。
630、第一终端装置根据第一指示信息,采用DRX模式或非DRX模式。
从图7所示的流程可以发现,方式3适用于第一终端装置和第二终端装置均处于网络覆盖下的场景。
在图7的流程中,第一终端装置和第二终端装置分别与网络设备之间建立Uu链路,同时,第一终端装置和第二终端装置需要在网络设备注册各自的侧行链路物理层的地址信息,也即sidelink layer_1的地址信息。
图7所述流程中的网络设备,是指第一终端装置和第二终端装置的接入网设备。
终端装置向网络设备注册侧行链路物理层的地址信息,是指终端装置将自己的sidelink物理层的地址信息提供给接入网设备。
为了描述上的方便,第一终端装置的侧行链路物理层的地址信息称为第一地址信息。,第二终端装置的侧行链路物理层的地址信息称为第二地址信息。
网络设备从第二终端装置接收第二指示信息之前,方法600还包括步骤640和步骤650。
640、第一终端装置向网络设备发送第一终端装置的第一地址信息,第二终端装置向网络设备发送第二终端装置的第二地址信息。
网络设备分别接收来自第一终端装置的第一地址信息,以及来自第二终端装置的第二地址信息。
650、网络设备建立第一终端装置和第二终端装置各自的Uu link物理层的地址信息、第一地址信息以及第二地址信息的映射关系。
接入网设备接收到第一终端装置的第一地址信息以及第二终端装置的第二地址信息,再结合第一终端装置和第二终端装置各自的Uu link物理层的地址信息,建立两者之间的对应关系。
需要说明的是,第一终端装置和第二终端装置在接入网络时,接入网设备可以获得第一终端装置的Uu link物理层的地址信息,以及第二终端装置的Uu link物理层的地址信息。但是,第一终端装置和第二终端装置的sidelink物理层的地址信息,接入网设备是不知道的。
接入网设备在第二终端装置指示向第一终端装置指示DRX模式或非DRX模式的过程中,接入网设备从第二终端装置接收到第二指示信息,接入网设备建立Uu link物理层地址信息和sidelink物理层地址信息之间的映射关系之后,接入网设备根据接收第二指示信息的Uu link物理层地址信息,可以确定第二终端装置的sidelink物理层地址信息。进而,根据映射关系,接入网设备可以确定和第二终端装置建立sidelink的终端装置(也即,第一终端装置)的sidelink物理层地址信息,并最终确定出第一终端装置的Uu link物理层地址信息。最后,接入网设备发送第一指示信息,第一指示信息的接收地址即为第一终端装置的Uu link物理层地址信息。
建立映射关系之后,当第二终端装置需要指示第一终端装置进行模式切换时,第二终端装置可以向网络设备通知第一终端装置的模式。网络设备接收来自第二终端装置的通知消息,根据映射关系,可以确定第二终端装置的第二地址信息对应的第一地址信息,并向第一地址信息对应的第一终端装置指示该模式。从而,第一终端装置也可以实现非DRX模式和DRX模式的切换。
和上文介绍的第一指示信息的具体实现类似,第二指示信息可以是显式的,也可以是隐式的,下面分别说明。
(1)第二指示信息显式指示DRX模式或非DRX模式。
在一个实施例中,第二终端装置向网络设备发送第一类型的PUCCH,第一类型的PUCCH中携带所述第二指示信息。第二指示信息用于指示DRX模式或非DRX模式。
在另一个实施例中,第二终端装置向网络设备发送PUSCH,PUSCH中携带第二指示信息。
可选地,第二指示信息可以携带在PUSCH的某一个MAC CE中。所述“某一个MAC CE”可以由网络设备配置,也可以由标准协议规定,或者由网络设备和终端设备协商或约定。
在这个实施例中,由于PUSCH是由网络设备调度的,因此,网络设备根据接收到PUSCH的资源位置,可以确定发送PUSCH的终端设备的地址,因此,网络设备可以确定第二终端装置的Uu link RNTI地址。再根据第二终端装置注册的sidelink的地址信息以及映射关系,网络设备可以确定sidelink的接收端(也即,第一终端装置)的Uu link RNTI地址。进一步地,网络设备将第二终端装置指示的非DRX模式或DRX模式通知第一终端装置。
(2)第二指示信息隐式指示DRX模式或非DRX模式。
在一个实施例中,第二终端装置向网络设备发送第二指示信息,第二指示信息为第一调度请求(scheduled request,SR)或第二SR,第一SR用于指示DRX模式,第二SR用于指示非DRX模式。其中,构成第一SR和第二SR的参考序列不同。
在另一个实施例中,第二终端装置向网络设备发送第二指示信息,第二指示信息为第二类型的第一PUCCH或第二类型的第二PUCCH,第一PUCCH用于指示DRX模式,第 二PUCCH用于指示非DRX模式。其中,构成第一PUCCH和第二PUCCH的参考序列不同。
本文中,第一类型的PUCCH可以是在时域上占满一个slot的PUCCH,第二类型的PUCCH可以是在时域上未占满一个slot的PUCCH。因此,第一类型的PUCCH也可以称为长PUCCH,第二类型的PUCCH也可以称为短PUCCH。
在以上这些隐式指示的方式中,网络设备接收到上述信号中的一种,获知对应的sidelink接收端的RNTI地址以及需要接收端需要切换的模式。进一步地,可以通过如下方法通知sidelink的接收端。
在一个实施例中,网络设备向第一终端装置发送DCI,DCI采用第一终端装置的RNTI地址加扰,DCI携带第一指示信息,第一指示信息用于指示非DRX模式或DRX模式。
第一终端装置接收DCI,并采用自己的RNTI地址解扰DCI,获取DCI中的第一指示信息,从而确定第二终端装置指示的非DRX模式或DRX模式。
在另一个实施例中,网络设备向第一终端装置发送DCI,DCI采用第一终端装置的RNTI地址加扰。DCI用于调度PDSCH,PDSCH携带第一指示信息。
第一终端装置接收DCI,并用自己的RNTI地址解扰DCI。进一步地,第一终端装置根据DCI接收PDSCH,并从PDSCH获取第一指示信息,从而可以确定第二终端装置指示的DRX模式或非DRX模式。
参见图8,图8为采用方式3在非授权频段实现DRX的一个示例。如图8所示,第二终端装置先通过Uu link向网络设备发送第二指示信息,第二指示信息可以携带于第一类型的PUSCH,或者,第二指示信息具体可以为第二类型的第一PUSCH或第二PUSCH,以及第一SR或SR等。第二指示信息用于指示DRX模式或非DRX模式。网络设备在Uu link上接收来自第二终端装置的第二指示信息,获知第二终端装置指示的DRX模式或非DRX模式。
进一步地,网络设备再通过Uu link向第一终端装置发送第一指示信息。第一指示信息用于指示第一终端装置采用DRX模式或非DRX模式。第一指示信息可以携带于DCI中,或者携带于DCI调度的PDSCH中等。
第一终端装置通过Uu link接收来自网络设备的第一指示信息,如果第一指示信息指示DRX模式,则从非DRX模式切换为DRX模式。
可选地,在另一些示例中,网络设备还可以通过SSB、RRC信令携带第一指示信息,从而向第一终端装置指示DRX模式或非DRX模式。
假设第一终端装置在接收到第一指示信息之前采用非DRX模式,接收到第一指示信息之后,第一终端装置在CG_1切换为DRX模式。
可选地,图8中所示的Uu link可以工作于非授权频段和/或非授权频段。sidelink可以工作于非授权频段。例如,第一指示信息和第二指示信息均可以通过Uu link的授权频段发送,也可以通过非授权频段发送,或者其中一个通过授权频段发送而另一个通过非授权频段发送,不作限定。
可以理解的是,方式3中通过Uu link的辅助向第一终端装置指示采用DRX模式或非DRX模式。而网络设备通过DCI或PDSCH向第一终端装置进行指示,会存在一定的时延,图8中所示的控制时延(command delay)。
在方式3中,通过建立在licensed band的Uu link辅助,sidelink的发送端通过网络设备转发第一指示信息,可以避免由于发送端在sidelink上LBT不成功,用于指示第一终端装置的模式切换的指示信息不能及时发出去的缺点,能够降低模式切换的时延。
以上方式2和方式3中,第一终端装置根据接收到的第一指示信息,确定后续采用DRX模式或非DRX模式。
在不同的实施方式中,网络设备可以分别配置DRX模式和非DRX模式下的非授权资源。例如,网络设备配置两组非授权参数,所述两组非授权参数中的一组非授权参数对应DRX模式,另一组非授权参数对应非DRX模式。
如果第一指示信息指示第一终端装置采用DRX模式,第一终端装置则选择和DRX模式对应的一组非授权参数。如果第一指示信息指示第一终端装置采用非DRX模式,第一终端装置则选择和非DRX模式对应的另一组非授权参数。
其中,非授权参数主要包括非授权资源单元的周期以及非授权资源单元内的监测时长。
例如,非DRX模式对应的非授权参数包括非授权资源单元的时长、周期,以及非授权资源单元的第一监测时长。DRX模式下对应的非授权资源包括非授权资源单元的时长、周期,以及非授权资源单元的第二监测时长。
可以理解的是,DRX模式下,网络设备配置了非授权资源单元的时长和第二监测时长,休眠时长即可得到。但是,也不限定网络设备可以配置非授权资源单元的时长、第二监测时长以及休眠时长。
另外,在上述方式1-方式3的任意一种方式中,网络设备配置DRX模式和非DRX模式对应的非授权参数,并下发给建立sidelink的终端设备。sidelink的接收端在切换到一种模式之后,则选择使用和当前采用的模式(即,DRX模式或非DRX模式)对应的一组非授权参数。
可替换地,上述两组非授权参数也即DRX模式和非DRX模式下的非授权资源。换句话说,一组非授权参数即是DRX模式下的非授权资源,另一组非授权参数即是非DRX模式下的非授权资源。
以上对本申请提供的实现DRX的方法进行了详细说明。下面说明本申请提供的通信装置。
