非连续接收(Discontinuous Reception,DRX),是一种间断性的监听物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel,PDCCH)的功能。
示例性的,图1示出了终端设备进行非连续接收(DRX)的工作原理示意图。如图1所示,终端设备可以按照DRX Cycle(DRX周期)进行非连续接收,针对终端的DRX配置参数也主要是针对DRX周期进行配置。
如图1所示,在一个DRX周期中,终端设备可以具备激活状态(或称为:唤醒状态、On Duration状态)与休眠状态(或称为:睡眠状态、opportunity for DRX状态)。其中,当终端设备处于激活状态时,终端设备可以启动接收机,监听(或称为:接收)PDCCH;终端设备在处于休眠状态时,则可以关闭接收机,不监听PDCCH。如图1所示的一个DRX周期中,终端设备在处于On Duration状态时,监听来自于基站的PDCCH;当其处于opportunity for DRX状态时,不监听PDCCH。如此,实现终端设备的非连续接收功能。
终端设备实现非连续接收功能,可以通过定时器(Timer)来实现。而定时器的定时时长则与DRX配置参数相关联。终端设备可以按照DRX配置参数,来对各定时器的定时时长进行配置,配置完成后,终端设备可以通过控制各定时器开始计时或停止计时,来实现非连续接收功能。
实际场景中,DRX配置参数可以来自于基站,终端设备接收来自于基站的DRX配置 参数即可。在该场景中,DRX参数可以为基站发送给终端设备的一个独立的消息,也可以携带在其他消息中,被基站发送给终端设备。
除此之外,DRX配置参数也可以来自于用户设置。此时,终端设备接收用户输入的DRX配置参数即可。
本申请实施例中,DRX配置参数可以包括但不限于对如下定时器的定时时长的配置:
drx-onDurationTimer,即非连续接收持续定时器,在任意一个DRX周期中,该定时器用于对终端设备在该DRX周期内处于激活状态的持续时长进行定时。如图1所示,在该定时器的持续时段内,终端设备可以启动接收机,以持续监听PDCCH。
drx-Slot Offset,即非连续接收时延定时器,在任意一个DRX周期中,该定时器用于对终端设备启动drx-onDurationTimer的时延进行定时。
drx-InactivityTimer,即非连续接收非激活定时器,该定时器用于在接收到任意一个初传PDCCH之后,对终端继续监听PDCCH的持续时长进行计时。其中,初传PDCCH可以包括但不限于:指示上行初传的PDCCH或指示下行初传的PDCCH。其中,区分于重复传输,初传是指初次传输。
drx-RetransmissionTimerDL,即非连续接收下行重传定时器,该定时器用于对指示下行重传调度的PDCCH的最长持续时长进行定时。具体实现场景中,除广播混合自动重传请求(Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest,HARQ)进程之外,每个下行HARQ进程对应一个drx-RetransmissionTimerDL。
drx-RetransmissionTimerUL,即非连续接收下行重传定时器,该定时器用于对指示上行重传调度的PDCCH的最长持续时长进行定时。具体实现场景中,每个上行HARQ进程对应一个drx-RetransmissionTimerUL。
drx-LongCycleStartOffset,即非连续接收长周期开始偏移(定时器),该定时器用于对长周期开始时的子帧偏移进行定时,此外,还可以对长周期与短周期开始时的子帧偏移都进行定时。
drx-ShortCycleTimer,即非连续接收短周期定时器,该定时器用于对终端设备处于短周期(并且没有接收到任何PDCCH)的持续时长进行定时。
drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerDL,即非连续接收下行重传定时器,该定时器用于对终端设备期望接收到指示下行调度的PDCCH需要的的最少等待时间进行定时。除广播HARQ进程之外,每个下行HARQ进程对应一个drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerDL。
drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerUL,即非连续接收下行重传定时器,该定时器用于对终端设备期望接收到指示上行调度的PDCCH需要的最少等待时间进行定时。每个上行HARQ进程对应一个drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerUL。
还需要说明的是,在现有的机制中,长周期(或可称为:Long DRX Cycle,或Long Cycle)为默认配置,而短周期(或可称为:Short DRX Cycle,或Short Cycle)为可选配置。
基于此,在前述DRX配置参数中,可以包括针对drx-ShortCycleTimer的配置参数,也可以不包含针对drx-ShortCycleTimer的配置参数。
可以理解,若终端设备并未配置短周期相关定时器的DRX配置参数,则终端设备可以持续按照长周期进行非连续接收。
而本申请实施例所适用的应用场景中,终端设备具备drx-ShortCycleTimer的配置参数。也就是说,终端设备配置有DRX长周期和短周期,此时,终端设备可以按照长周期或者短周期来实现非连续接收。应当理解,长周期的周期时长大于短周期的周期时长。
对于配置了drx-ShortCycleTimer的终端设备,还可以在长周期和短周期之间进行转换。目前协议中规定了终端设备进行长周期和短周期切换的触发方式。
一方面,当满足如下任意的一个或多个条件时,终端设备可以采用短周期进行非连续 接收:
drx-InactivityTimer超时;
终端设备收到一个DRX Command MAC CE(或称为:DRX MAC CE)。
另一方面,当满足如下任意的一个或多个条件时,终端设备可以采用长周期进行非连续接收:
drx-ShortCycleTimer超时;
终端收到一个long DRX command MAC CE(或称为:Long DRX MAC CE)。
其中,DRX Command MAC CE(Discontinuous Reception DRX Command Medium Access Control Control Element),即为非连续接收命令MAC控制单元,现有技术中用于指示终端设备采用短周期进行非连续接收;而long DRX command MAC CE即为长周期非连续接收命令MAC控制单元,现有技术中用于指示终端设备采用长周期进行非连续接收。二者均可作为周期切换指令,指示终端设备在长、短周期之间进行切换。
在现有的NR标准中,每个终端设备具备一个或多个MAC实体,而一个MAC实体对应于一个DRX配置参数。那么,若终端设备接收到了DRX MAC CE,则使用短周期进行非连续接收;若终端设备接收到了Long DRX MAC CE,则使用长周期进行非连续接收。
但是,如前述背景技术所述,随着技术的发展,一个MAC实体可以配置多个DRX组(DRX group),每个DRX group对应于一个DRX配置参数。在该场景中,存在周期切换策略不明确的问题,影响终端设备的调度性能。
示例性的一个场景中,终端设备具备一个MAC实体,该MAC实体可以配置有2个DRX group,此时,若终端接收到了DRX MAC CE,则终端设备的MAC实体是控制2个DRX group都采用短周期进行非连续接收,还是控制其中的一个DRX group采用短周期进行非连续接收,若是其中的一个,则控制哪一个采用短周期进行非连续接收,都是不明确的。现有技术中缺乏对该场景中终端设备进行DRX周期切换策略的解决方案。
本申请实施例提供的技术方案,旨在解决现有技术的如上技术问题。
下面对本申请提供的非连续接收控制方法进行说明。
图2示出了本申请实施例所提供的一种通信***的示意图。如图2所示,该通信***中至少包括网络设备11和终端设备12。可以理解的是,在实际通信***中,网络设备11以及终端设备12均可以有一个或多个,该图2仅以一个作为示例。
在图2中,网络设备11可以是蜂窝网络中的接入设备,例如可以是LTE网络及其演进网络中的接入设备,例如演进型基站(Evolutional Node B,简称:eNB或eNodeB),或者中继站,或者未来新的网络***中的基站等等,其覆盖范围示例为实线圈内区域。也可以是WLAN中的接入点(Access Point,简称:AP)等设备。
终端设备12,也可以称为移动终端、用户设备(User Equipment,简称:UE)、接入终端、用户单元、用户站、移动站、移动台、用户终端、终端、无线通信设备、用户代理或用户装置。具体可以是智能手机、蜂窝电话、无绳电话、个人数字处理(Personal Digital Assistant,简称:PDA)设备、具有无线通信功能的手持设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备等。在本申请实施例中,该终端设备具有与网络设备(例如:蜂窝网络)进行通信的接口。
如图2所示的通信***可以应用于载波聚合(Carrier Aggregation,CA)场景。
进一步地,本申请实施例所涉及到的终端设备12具备DRX功能,终端设备12具备一个或多个MAC实体,且至少存在一个MAC实体可以配置有多个DRX group,每个DRX group可以对应一个DRX配置参数。并且,任意两个DRX group之间不支持跨载波调度。
本申请中,若终端设备具备有多个MAC实体,则任意一个MAC实体可以配置有多个DRX group。例如,终端设备具备2个MAC实体,每个MAC实体都配置有2个DRX group。或者,在终端设备的多个MAC实体中,存在部分MAC实体配置有多个DRX group,也存在部分MAC实体配置有一个DRX group的情况。例如,终端设备具备2个MAC实体,一个MAC实体配置有2个DRX group,另一个MAC实体配置有2个DRX group。
后续为便于说明,以终端设备中的一个MAC实体,且该MAC实体配置有多个DRX group的情况为例。应当理解,针对多个MAC实体中的任意一个MAC实体,都可以按照本申请实施例所提供的技术方案进行非连续接收的控制。
对于任意一个终端设备而言,其配置的多个DRX group的DRX配置参数可以不同。应当理解,这里说的DRX配置参数不同,是指存在至少一个DRX配置参数不同。
示例性的一种实施例中,终端设备中任意两个DRX组的非连续接收持续定时器(drx-onDurationTimer)的时长不同;和/或,终端设备中任意两个DRX组的非连续接收非激活定时器(drx-InactivityTimer)的时长不同。该实施例中,其他DRX配置参数可以相同也可以不同。
在此基础上,本申请还提供另一种实施例:终端设备中任意两个DRX组中,drx-InactivityTimer与drx-onDurationTimer中的一个或多个不同;而除drx-InactivityTimer与drx-onDurationTimer之外的定时器的配置参数,可以相同。此时,可以将除drx-InactivityTimer与drx-onDurationTimer之外的定时器的配置参数称为公共参数(或称为:公共配置,公共配置参数等)。
本申请实施例中,一个终端设备还可以对应多个服务小区。其中,多个服务小区中可以包括:一个主服务小区(Primary Cell,PCell),以及,一个或多个辅服务小区(Secondary Cell,SCell)。
对于终端设备中的任意一个DRX组,一个DRX组可以对应于一个或多个服务小区。此时,至少存在一个DRX组对应于PCell。而服务小区与DRX组相对应,是指该服务小区按照该DRX组的DRX配置参数进行非连续接收。
本申请提供的非连续接收控制方法可以参考图3,该方法包括如下步骤:
S302,终端设备接收来自于基站的周期切换指令。
S304,终端设备控制目标DRX组按照目标周期进行非连续接收,其中,目标DRX组为MAC实体的一个或多个DRX组。
其中,目标周期可以为长周期或短周期,具体采用长周期还是短周期,则与终端设备接收到的周期切换指令相关联。
在该方案中,终端设备可以基于接收到的周期切换指令,来控制自身配置的一个或多个DRX组进行周期切换。本申请实施例给出了配置有多个DRX group的终端设备的DRX周期切换策略,解决了该场景下DRX周期切换策略不明确的问题,降低了该问题对终端调度性能的影响,并且,这有利于节省终端电量。
本申请实施例中,周期切换指令与目标周期相关联,此时,周期切换指令可以用于指示一个目标周期,例如,周期切换指令可以仅指示一个短周期。或者,周期切换指令也可以用于指示多个目标周期,此时,周期切换指令中指示的目标周期的数目,可以小于或等于DRX组的数目。例如,终端设备设置有3个DRX group,则周期切换指令可以指示3个目标周期。指示方式以及终端设备的控制方式,后续详述。
基于此,在具体实现S304时,至少可以包括如下实现方式:
方式一,周期切换指令用于指示一个目标周期。此时,目标DRX组可以为MAC实体的所有DRX组。
方式二,周期切换指令用于指示一个目标周期。此时,目标DRX组可以为接收到该 周期切换指令的服务小区所在的DRX组。
方式三,周期切换指令用于指示一个目标周期。此时,目标DRX组为周期切换指令所对应的一个DRX组。
方式四,周期切换指令用于指示多个目标周期,具体的,周期切换指令可以包括多个指示字符,指示字符与DRX组一一对应,此时,指示字符用于指示对应的DRX组的目标周期。
那么,在执行S304时,终端设备按照所述多个指示字符,确定每个所述DRX组的所述目标周期,然后,将各所述DRX组的DRX周期切换为所述目标周期即可。
后续结合具体实施例,详述上述4种实现方式。
在前述任意一种实现方式中,任意一个DRX组具备一个目标周期,目标周期可以为长周期或者短周期。
基于此,对任意一个DRX组而言,若基站所指示的目标周期为长周期,执行S304时,终端设备控制目标DRX组的非连续接收短周期定时器(drx-ShortCycleTimer)停止计时。
此时,drx-onDurationTimer的启动时刻与当前周期类型相关。
一方面,对于一个DRX组而言,若该DRX组处于短周期,则终端设备按照如下方式,确定启动drx-onDurationTimer的时刻:
首先,判断当前子帧号对短周期时长(drx-ShortCycle)取模的值,是否等于长周期开始时的子帧偏移(drx-StartOffset)对短周期时长取模的值。换言之,也就是,判断当前子帧是否满足如下公式:[(SFN×10)+subframe number]modulo(drx-ShortCycle)=(drx-StartOffset)modulo(drx-ShortCycle)。其中,[(SFN×10)+subframe number]表示当前子帧号,drx-ShortCycle表示短周期时长,modulo表示取模。
之后,若当前子帧号满足前述条件,则从当前帧开始,启动drx-Slot Offset开始计时,当其计时结束时,启动drx-onDurationTimer。
另一方面,对于一个DRX组而言,若该DRX组处于长周期,则终端设备按照如下方式,确定启动drx-onDurationTimer的时刻:
首先,判断当前子帧号对长周期时长(drx-LongCycle)取模的值,是否等于长周期开始时的子帧偏移(drx-StartOffset)。换言之,也就是,判断当前子帧是否满足如下公式:[(SFN×10)+subframe number]modulo(drx-LongCycle)=drx-StartOffset。其中,[(SFN×10)+subframe number]表示当前子帧号,drx-LongCycle表示长周期时长,modulo表示取模。
之后,若当前子帧号满足前述条件,则从当前帧开始,启动drx-Slot Offset开始计时,当其计时结束时,启动drx-onDurationTimer。
而drx-InactivityTimer的启动,则与终端设备是否接收到指示下行或者上行初始传输的PDCCH相关。当终端设备接收到指示下行或者上行初始传输的PDCCH时,终端设备控制drx-InactivityTimer开始计时。
示例性的,当终端设备接收到一个指示下行传输的PDCCH,或者当终端设备在配置的下行授权资源上接收到一个MAC PDU,则终端设备停止该HARQ进程对应的drx-RetransmissionTimerDL。终端设备在完成针对这次下行传输的HARQ进程反馈的传输之后启动该HARQ进程对应的drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerDL。
如果终端设备的某个HARQ对应的定时器drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerDL超时,并且使用这个HARQ进程传输的下行数据解码不成功,则终端设备启动这个HARQ进程对应的drx-RetransmissionTimerDL。
其中,终端设备启动和停止drx-RetransmissionTimerUL的条件为:
当终端设备接收到一个指示上行传输的PDCCH,或者当终端设备在配置的上行授权 资源上发送一个MAC PDU,则终端设备停止该HARQ进程对应的drx-RetransmissionTimerUL。终端设备在完成这次PUSCH的第一次重复传输(repetition)之后启动该HARQ进程对应的drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerUL。
如果终端设备的某个HARQ对应的定时器drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerUL超时,则终端设备启动这个HARQ进程对应的drx-RetransmissionTimerUL。
对任意一个DRX组而言,若基站所指示的目标周期为短周期,执行S304时,终端设备控制目标DRX组的非连续接收持续定时器(drx-onDurationTimer)与非连续接收非激活定时器(drx-InactivityTimer)停止计时,以及,控制所述目标DRX组的非连续接收短周期定时器(drx-ShortCycleTimer)开始计时。
需要说明的是,在执行前述S304步骤时,若DRX组当前使用的周期与目标周期一致,则无需重复开启或关闭定时器。
示例性的,当终端设备接收到的周期切换指令与长周期相关联,且目标DRX组当前使用长周期进行DRX,此时,该目标DRX组的drx-ShortCycleTimer本身就处于关闭状态,则无需再执行前述关闭drx-ShortCycleTimer的动作。
换言之,在执行前述S304的处理时,还可以先判断目标DRX当前使用的周期与目标周期是否一致。若一致,则无需额外处理;若不一致,则按照前述方式进行处理即可。
本申请实施例中,终端设备的DRX配置参数可以来自于基站。此时,在执行如图3所示的方法之前,终端设备还可以接收来自于基站的DRX配置指令,所述DRX配置指令中携带各DRX组的配置参数,然后,终端设备即可按照所述配置参数,对各所述DRX组分别进行DRX配置。
DRX配置指令中携带的配置参数可以包括但不限于:DRX配置参数(公共参数和各DRX组各自的drx-onDurationTimer、drx-InactivityTimer等)、服务小区配置参数(或可称为:SCell相关参数)。除此之外,还可以包括但不限于:上行逻辑信道相关配置、调度请求(Scheduling Request,SR)相关配置等。
一种可能的实施例中,DRX配置指令的消息类型可以为无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)消息。
现以终端设备设置有2个DRX组的场景为例,结合图4~图7,对前述实现方式(方式一~方式四)进行详述。
在该场景中,终端设备设置有两个DRX组,分别为DRX group1和DRX group2。且该终端设备共有4个服务小区,其中,DRX group1对应于PCell和SCell1,DRX group2对应于SCell2和SCell3。
在该场景中,终端设备可以首先接收来自于基站的DRX配置指令,然后,根据其中携带的各配置参数对各DRX组进行配置,配置内容包括:DRX配置参数、SCell相关参数、上行逻辑信道相关配置、SR相关配置等。
在此基础上,终端设备在进行非连续接收时,可以按照如下方式中的任意一种,实现非连续接收。
方式一
在方式一中,周期切换指令用于指示一个目标周期。此时,目标DRX组可以为MAC实体的所有DRX组。
示例性的,周期切换指令可以为DRX MAC CE或者Long DRX MAC CE,其中,DRX MAC CE与短周期相关联(目标周期为短周期),Long DRX MAC CE与长周期相关联(目 标周期为长周期)。
此时,可以有如下2种可能的情况:
在一可能的实施例中,若终端设备在任意一个服务小区上,接收来自于基站的DRX MAC CE(周期切换指令)。此时,终端设备需要控制DRX group1和DRX group2都采用短周期进行非连续接收。
若DRX group1当前采用的为Long DRX Cycle(长周期),则终端设备控制DRX group1对应的drx-InactivityTimer和drx-onDurationTimer停止计时,同时,终端设备还启动drx-ShortCycleTimer,使得drx-ShortCycleTimer开始计时。如此,DRX group1使用Short DRX Cycle(短周期)进行非连续接收。若DRX group2当前采用的为Short DRX Cycle(短周期),则无需进行额外处理。
在另一可能的实施例中,若终端设备在任意一个服务小区上,接收来自于基站的Long DRX MAC CE(周期切换指令)。此时,终端设备需要控制DRX group1和DRX group2都采用长周期进行非连续接收。
若DRX group1当前采用的为Short DRX Cycle(短周期),则终端设备控制DRX group1对应的drx-ShortCycleTimer停止计时,如此,DRX group1使用Long DRX Cycle(长周期)进行非连续接收。若DRX group2当前采用的为Long DRX Cycle(长周期),则无需进行额外处理。
需要说明的是,在该实施例中,周期切换指令用于控制终端设备的2个DRX组都按照目标周期进行非连续接收,但本申请实施例对于终端设备接收到周期切换指令时,这2个DRX组各自采用的DRX周期无特别限定。换言之,终端设备接收到周期切换指令时,2个DRX组可以都采用短周期(或长周期)进行非连续接收;或者,也可以一个DRX组采用短周期,另一个DRX组采用长周期。不作穷举。
示例性的,图4示出了该场景下的终端设备的非连续接收情况示意图。
在图4所示的场景中,终端设备可以为DRX group1配置drx-onDurationTimer1和drx-InactivityTimer1,为DRX group2配置drx-onDurationTimer2和drx-InactivityTimer2。除此以外的其他DRX配置参数如drx-ShortCycleTimer、drx-LongCycleStartOffset等为2个DRX group的公共配置。
以及,终端设备还设置有4个服务小区,其中,PCell和SCell 1对应传输模式(Frame Relay,FR)1,SCell 2和SCell 3对应FR2。
如图4所示,在初始状态下,DRX group1和DRX group 2都使用Long DRX Cycle。对于DRX group1而言,按照Long DRX cycle周期性地启动drx-onDurationTimer1;对于DRX group2而言,按照Long DRX cycle周期性地启动drx-onDurationTimer2。
之后,终端设备在PCell上接收到DRX MAC CE,目标周期为短周期,则终端设备控制drx-onDurationTimer1、drx-InactivityTimer1、drx-onDurationTimer2、drx-InactivityTimer2均停止计时,同时,终端设备控制drx-ShortCycleTimer开始计时。从而,如图4所示,DRX group1和DRX group 2都由Long DRX Cycle切换为DRX Cycle。
之后,终端设备在SCell 3上接收到Long DRX MAC CE,目标周期为长周期,则终端设备控制drx-ShortCycleTimer停止计时。
此时,DRX group1处于短周期,则终端设备按照如下方式计算是否满足启动drx-onDurationTimer1的时刻:首先,判断当前子帧是否满足如下公式:[(SFN×10)+subframe number]modulo(drx-ShortCycle)=(drx-StartOffset)modulo(drx-ShortCycle)。其中,[(SFN×10)+subframe number]表示当前子帧号,drx-ShortCycle表示短周期时长,modulo表示取模。之后,若当前子帧号满足前述条件,则从当前帧开始,启动drx-Slot Offset开始计时,当其计时结束时,启动drx-onDurationTimer1。DRX group2的启动方式与此相同,不赘述。
可以理解,周期切换指令为DRX MAC CE或者Long DRX MAC CE为示例性的,实际场景中,周期切换指令还可以有其他变形,例如,建立其他RRC消息与长周期(或短周期)之间的关联关系,
在方式一中,无论是哪个服务小区,哪个DRX组接收到周期切换指令,都针对所有DRX组同时进行周期切换处理,这种集中管理方式简便易行,有利于节省终端设备电量。
方式二
在方式二中,周期切换指令用于指示一个目标周期。此时,目标DRX组可以为接收到该周期切换指令的服务小区所在的DRX组。
在该实现方式中,周期切换指令仍可以为DRX MAC CE或者Long DRX MAC CE,其中,DRX MAC CE与短周期相关联(目标周期为短周期),Long DRX MAC CE与长周期相关联(目标周期为长周期)。
此时,也有如下两种可能的情况:
在一可能的实施例中,若终端设备在任意一个服务小区上,接收来自于基站的DRX MAC CE(周期切换指令)。此时,终端设备控制该服务小区对应的DRX group采用短周期进行非连续接收。而与该服务小区不存在对应关系的DRX group,仍使用原来的周期。
在另一可能的实施例中,若终端设备在任意一个服务小区上,接收来自于基站的Long DRX MAC CE(周期切换指令)。此时,终端设备控制该服务小区对应的DRX group采用长周期进行非连续接收。而与该服务小区不存在对应关系的DRX group,仍使用原来的周期。
示例性的,可以参考图5所示的情况。其中,图5中的DRX配置情况同图4,此处不作赘述。
如图5所示,在初始状态下,DRX group1和DRX group 2都使用Long DRX Cycle。
之后,终端设备在PCell上接收到来自于基站的DRX MAC CE,目标周期为短周期,目标DRX组为DRX group1。则终端设备控制drx-onDurationTimer1和drx-InactivityTimer1停止计时,同时,对DRX group1采用drx-ShortCycleTimer1开始计时。
此时,DRX group1由Long DRX Cycle切换为Short DRX Cycle,而DRX group2仍然使用Long DRX Cycle。
再之后,终端设备在SCell 3上接收到来自于基站的DRX MAC CE,目标周期为短周期,目标DRX组为DRX group2。此时,终端设备可以控制drx-onDurationTimer2和drx-InactivityTimer2停止计时,同时,控制DRX group2采用drx-ShortCycleTimer2开始计时。
应当理解,drx-ShortCycleTimer1和drx-ShortCycleTimer2为两个独立的定时器,二者的定时时长相等(该场景中,该定时器的定时时长为公共参数,所以二者相等;实际场景中也可以不同,分别对DRX组进行个性化设置)。
此时,DRX group1使用Short DRX Cycle,而DRX group2由Long DRX Cycle切换为Short DRX Cycle。
在之后,终端设备在SCell1上接收到来自于基站的Long DRX MAC CE,目标周期为长周期,目标DRX组为DRX group1。此时,终端设备控制drx-ShortCycleTimer1停止计时。那么,终端设备可以按照前述当前使用为短周期的方式,确定drx-onDurationTimer1的启动时刻,根据是否接收到初传PDCCH来确定是否启动drx-InactivityTimer1,不赘述。
此时,DRX group1由Short DRX Cycle切换为Long DRX Cycle,而DRX group2仍然使用short DRX Cycle。
可以理解,周期切换指令为DRX MAC CE或者Long DRX MAC CE为示例性的,实际场景中,周期切换指令还可以有其他变形,例如,建立其他RRC消息与长周期(或短 周期)之间的关联关系,
在方式二中,仅针对接收到周期切换指令的DRX组,进行周期切换处理,能够实现各DRX组的个性化管理,管理方式更加灵活,能够适应不同通信场景的需求。
方式三
在方式三中,周期切换指令用于指示一个目标周期。此时,目标DRX组为周期切换指令所对应的一个DRX组。
在该实现方式中,周期切换指令可以有多个。在该实施例中,需要提前预设周期切换指令与DRX组之间的对应关系,每个周期切换指令用于指示其对应的DRX组进行周期切换。
此时,周期切换指令的数目与DRX组的数目相关。对任意一个终端设备而言,若该终端设备配置有N个DRX组,则周期切换指令的数目可以为2N个,其中,N为大于1的整数。终端设备配置1个DRX组的情况,本申请实施例暂不讨论。
实际场景中,多个周期切换指令的指令标识不同。一种可能的实施例中,可以通过LCID(Logical Channel Indentity,逻辑信道标识)来对周期切换指令进行标识和区分。如此,在预设周期切换指令与DRX组之间的对应关系时,还可以直接预设LCID与DRX组之间的对应关系。
示例性的一种实施例中,周期切换指令可以包括:DRX MAC CE、Long DRX MAC CE、enhanced DRX MAC CE和enhanced Long DRX MAC CE,其中,任意两个周期切换指令的ICID不同。在该实施例中,仅通过enhanced DRX MAC CE和enhanced Long DRX MAC CE就能够实现对目标周期的标识,此时,enhanced DRX MAC CE和enhanced Long DRX MAC CE的有效载荷(payload size)可以为0。
此时,Long DRX MAC CE用于指示DRX GROUP1按照长周期进行非连续接收;DRX MAC CE用于指示DRX GROUP1按照短周期进行非连续接收;enhanced Long DRX MAC CE用于指示DRX GROUP2按照长周期进行非连续接收;enhanced DRX MAC CE用于指示DRX GROUP2按照短周期进行非连续接收。反之,Long DRX MAC CE和DRX MAC CE用于指示DRX GROUP2进行周期切换;enhanced DRX MAC CE和enhanced Long DRX MAC CE用于指示DRX GROUP1进行周期切换亦可。
示例性的另一种实施例中,周期切换指令可以包括:DRX MAC CE(1~N)和Long DRX MAC CE(1~N)。此时,DRX MAC CEi用于指示第i个DRX group按照短周期进行非连续接收;Long DRX MAC CEi用于指示第i个DRX group按照长周期进行非连续接收,i的取值为1~N(包含端点1和N)。
示例性的,可以参考图6所示的情况。其中,图6中的DRX配置情况同图4,此处不作赘述。在图6中,周期切换指令可以包括:DRX MAC CE、Long DRX MAC CE、enhanced DRX MAC CE和enhanced Long DRX MAC CE,如前一实施例所述。
如图6所示,在初始状态下,DRX group1和DRX group 2都使用Long DRX Cycle。
之后,终端设备在SCell1上接收到来自于基站的enhanced DRX MAC CE,则目标周期为短周期,目标DRX组为DRX group2。此时,终端设备可以控制drx-onDurationTimer2和drx-InactivityTimer2停止计时,同时,对DRX group2采用drx-ShortCycleTimer2开始计时。
此时,DRX group1仍然使用Long DRX Cycle,而DRX group2由Long DRX Cycle切换为Short DRX Cycle。
之后,终端设备在PCell上接收到来自于基站的DRX MAC CE,则目标周期为短周期,目标DRX组为DRX group1。此时,终端设备可以控制drx-onDurationTimer1和drx-InactivityTimer1停止计时,同时,对DRX group1采用drx-ShortCycleTimer1开始计时。
此时,DRX group1由Long DRX Cycle切换为Short DRX Cycle,而DRX group2仍然使用Short DRX Cycle。
再之后,终端设备在SCell1上接收到来自于基站的Long DRX MAC CE,则目标周期为长周期,目标DRX组为DRX group1。此时,终端设备可以控制drx-ShortCycleTimer1开始计时。
如此,DRX group1由Short DRX Cycle切换为Long DRX Cycle,而DRX group2仍然使用Short DRX Cycle。
在方式三中,无论哪个服务小区接收到周期切换指令,终端设备只需要根据周期切换指令,确定其关联的目标DRX组,以及,所指示的目标周期,即可对目标DRX组进行周期切换处理,该实现方式通过周期切换指令实现对目标DRX组和目标周期的确定,简便易行。
方式四
在方式四中,周期切换指令用于指示多个目标周期。具体的,周期切换指令可以包括多个指示字符,指示字符与DRX组一一对应,此时,指示字符用于指示对应的DRX组的目标周期。
示例性的,周期切换指令可以为enhanced DRX MAC CE或者enhanced Long DRX MAC CE,其中,enhanced DRX MAC CE的payload中具备N比特(bit),每个比特用于指示一个DRX group是否使用Short DRX Cycle;而enhanced Long DRX MAC CE的payload中具备N比特(bit),每个比特用于指示一个DRX group是否使用Long DRX Cycle。如前所述,N为大于1的整数。
具体而言,本申请实施例是通过周期切换指令的payload中N个比特位上的数值来对是否切换周期进行指示的。用于指示切换的数值可以根据需要预设,例如,预设为1。
示例性的一种实施例中,enhanced DRX MAC CE的payload中具备2bits,其中,第一个bit中的数值为1时,指示DRX group1采用Short DRX Cycle进行非连续接收;第二个bit中的数值为1时,指示DRX group2采用Short DRX Cycle进行非连续接收。
应当理解,周期切换指令的payload中,哪个比特位用于指示哪个DRX group,是可以提前约定好的,前述举例不应视作对本方案的限定。
示例性的另一种实施例中,enhanced Long DRX MAC CE的payload中具备2bits,其中,第一个bit中的数值为1时,指示DRX group2采用Long DRX Cycle进行非连续接收;第二个bit中的数值为1时,指示DRX group1采用Long DRX Cycle进行非连续接收。
示例性的,可以参考图7所示的情况。其中,图7中的DRX配置情况同图7,此处不作赘述。
如图7所示,在初始状态下,DRX group1和DRX group 2都使用Long DRX Cycle。
之后,终端设备在PCell上接收到来自于基站的enhanced DRX MAC CE,其中,该消息的payload中,第一个bit和第二个bit的数值均为1。那么,目标周期为短周期,目标DRX组为DRX group1和DRX group2。此时,终端设备控制drx-onDurationTimer1、drx-InactivityTimer1、drx-onDurationTimer2、drx-InactivityTimer2均停止计时,同时,对DRX group1和DRX group2采用drx-ShortCycleTimer开始计时。
此时,DRX group1和DRX group2由Long DRX Cycle切换为Short DRX Cycle。
之后,终端设备在SCell1上接收到来自于基站的enhanced Long DRX MAC CE,其中,该消息的payload中,第一个bit的数值为1。那么,目标周期为长周期,目标DRX组为DRX group1。那么,终端设备可以控制DRX group2的drx-ShortCycleTimer2停止计时。
此时,DRX group1由Short DRX Cycle切换为Long DRX Cycle,而DRX group2使用Short DRX Cycle。
在方式四中,本申请实施例对周期切换指令进行调整,能够利用一个周期切换指令,实现对一个或多个DRX组的周期切换,实现方式简便灵活。
此外,在前述任一实施例中,针对周期切换指令的设计需要在基站和终端设备之间保持同步。对于基站而言,其执行的非连续接收方法可以包括如下步骤:
生成周期切换指令;
向终端设备发送所述周期切换指令。
示例性的一种实施例(方式一)中,所述周期切换指令用于指示所述MAC实体的所有DRX组按照所述目标周期进行非连续接收。
示例性的另一种实施例(方式二)中,所述周期切换指令用于指示接收到该周期切换指令的服务小区所在的一个所述DRX组,按照所述目标周期进行非连续接收。
示例性的另一种实施例(方式三)中,周期切换指令与DRX组一一对应,所述周期切换指令用于指示对应的一个DRX组,按照所述目标周期进行非连续接收。
示例性的另一种实施例(方式四)中,所述周期切换指令包括多个指示字符,所述指示字符与所述DRX组一一对应,所述指示字符用于指示对应的DRX组的目标周期。
应当理解,周期切换指令的相关说明,以及终端设备基于该周期切换指令所执行的管理方法均如前所述,本申请实施例对此不赘述。
综上所述,本申请实施例所提供的技术方案,为配置有多个DRX group的终端设备,提供了多种简便易行的DRX周期切换策略,解决了该场景下DRX周期切换策略不明确的问题,降低了该问题对终端调度性能的影响,并且,这有利于节省终端电量。
