技术领域
本发明实施例涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种Gap配置方法、UE及网络设备。
背景技术
终端设备可以分为单卡终端和多卡终端(如双卡终端)。其中,单卡终端包括一个用户识别卡(Subscriber Identity Module,SIM)卡,多卡终端包括两个或多个SIM卡。终端设备中的每个SIM卡可以作为一个用户设备(User Equipment,UE)。
移动通信***中通常采用时分模式(TDM Pattern),如采用Gap分配机制,解决终端设备存在资源冲突时的任务调度问题。具体的,随着通信技术的发展,终端设备,尤其是多卡终端的能力多样化、任务多样化以及资源冲突多样化,使得终端设备有多样化的Gap需求。
然而,由于当前的Gap分配机制主要覆盖测量任务(如异频测量、Inter-RAT测量等),即主要解决测量Gap需求,而无法解决多样化的Gap协商和配置需求。因此,UE如何向网络设备请求多样化的Gap,网络设备相应地如何分配多样化的Gap,即如何使得Gap分配机制覆盖多样化的Gap协商和配置需求成为待解决的问题。
发明内容
本发明实施例提供一种Gap配置方法、UE及网络设备,以解决如何使得Gap分配机制覆盖多样化的Gap协商和配置需求成为待解决的问题。
为了解决上述技术问题,本发明实施例是这样实现的:
第一方面,本发明实施例提供了一种Gap配置方法,应用于第一用户设备UE,包括:从网络设备接收第一使能信息,第一使能信息用于指示第一Gap的第一需求配置是否使能,第一Gap为:包括N个Gap类型中的至少一个Gap类型的Gap,N为正整数;在第一使能信息指示第一需求配置使能的情况下,向网络设备发送第一请求信息,第一请求信息用于请求第一目标Gap,第一目标Gap的Gap类型为N个Gap类型中的至少一个;从网络设备接收第一配置信息,第一配置信息用于配置第一目标Gap。
第二方面,本发明实施例提供了一种Gap配置方法,应用于网络设备,包括:向第一用户设备UE发送第一使能信息,第一使能信息用于指示第一Gap的第一需求配置是否使能,第一Gap为:包括N个Gap类型中的至少一个Gap类型的Gap,N为正整数;在第一使能信息指示第一需求配置使能的情况下,从第一UE接收第一请求,第一请求用于请求第一目标Gap,第一目标Gap的Gap类型为N个Gap类型中的至少一个;根据第一请求,向第一UE发送第一配置信息,第一配置信息用于配置第一目标Gap。
第三方面,本发明实施例提供了一种用户设备UE,该UE为第一UE,包括:接收模块,用于从网络设备接收第一使能信息,第一使能信息用于指示第一Gap的第一需求配置是否使能,第一Gap为:包括N个Gap类型中的至少一个Gap类型的Gap,N为正整数;发送模块,用于在接收模块接收的第一使能信息指示第一需求配置使能的情况下,向网络设备发送第一请求信息,第 一请求信息用于请求第一目标Gap,第一目标Gap的Gap类型为N个Gap类型中的至少一个;接收模块,还用于从网络设备接收第一配置信息,第一配置信息用于配置第一目标Gap。
第四方面,本发明实施例提供了一种网络设备,包括:发送模块,发送模块用于向第一用户设备UE发送第一使能信息,第一使能信息用于指示第一Gap的第一需求配置是否使能,第一Gap为:包括N个Gap类型中的至少一个Gap类型的Gap,N为正整数;接收模块,用于在发送模块发送的第一使能信息指示第一需求配置使能的情况下,从第一UE接收第一请求信息,第一请求信息用于请求第一目标Gap,第一目标Gap的Gap类型为N个Gap类型中的至少一个;发送模块,还用于根据接收模块接收的第一请求信息,向第一UE发送第一配置信息,第一配置信息用于配置第一目标Gap。
第五方面,本发明实施例提供了一种用户设备UE,包括处理器、存储器及存储在所述存储器上并可在所述处理器上运行的计算机程序,所述计算机程序被所述处理器执行时实现如第一方面所述的Gap配置方法的步骤。

第七方面,本发明实施例提供一种计算机可读存储介质,所述计算机可读存储介质上存储计算机程序,所述计算机程序被处理器执行时实现如上述Gap配置方法的步骤。
在本发明实施例中,网络设备通过向第一UE发送第一使能信息,指示第一Gap的第一需求配置是否使能,即指示包括N个Gap类型中的至少一个Gap类型的Gap的需求是否使能。随后,在第一使能信息指示第一需求配置使能的情况下,第一UE通过向网络设备发送第一请求信息,可以请求第一目标Gap,即请求Gap类型为N个Gap类型中的至少一个的第一目标Gap。进而,网络设备可以通过向第一UE发送第一配置信息,用于为第一UE配置第一目标Gap。如此,实现了网络设备与第一UE之间的多样化的Gap协商和配置,即实现了Gap分配机制覆盖多样化的Gap协商和配置需求。进而,通过增强Gap协商,覆盖多卡终端的Gap需求,避免多卡终端业务中断,更加有效地利用网络资源,避免资源浪费。

具体实施方式
下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述, 显然,所描述的实施例是本发明一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本发明保护的范围。
需要说明的是,本文中的“/”表示或的意思,例如,A/B可以表示A或B;本文中的“和/或”仅仅是一种描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B这三种情况。
需要说明的是,为了便于清楚描述本申请实施例的技术方案,在本申请的实施例中,采用了“第一”、“第二”等字样对功能或作用基本相同的相同项或相似项进行区分,本领域技术人员可以理解“第一”、“第二”等字样并不对数量和执行次序进行限定。例如,第一请求信息和第二请求信息是用于区别不同的请求信息,而不是用于描述请求信息的特定顺序。
需要说明的是,本发明实施例中,“示例性的”或者“例如”等词用于表示作例子、例证或说明。本发明实施例中被描述为“示例性的”或者“例如”的任何实施例或设计方案不应被解释为比其它实施例或设计方案更优选或更具优势。确切而言,使用“示例性的”或者“例如”等词旨在以具体方式呈现相关概念。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中,“的(of)”,“相应的(corresponding,relevant)”和“对应的(corresponding)”有时可以混用,应当指出的是,在不强调其区别时,其所要表达的含义是一致的。本申请实施例中的“多个”的含义是指两个或两个以上。
以下对本申请文件中的一些术语进行说明:
1、多卡终端
双卡终端和多卡终端统称多卡终端。多卡终端为包括两个或多个用户识别卡(Subscriber Identity Module,SIM)卡的终端设备。其中,多卡终端中的一个SIM卡可以作为一个用户设备(User Equipment,UE)。
多卡终端的能力可以是单发单收、单发双收和双发双收等。
多卡终端可以在多个网络同时驻留。但是,不同多卡终端通过不同实现方式在多个网络同时驻留。
有的终端设备可以在多个网络同时实现数据发送和数据接收,且数据发送和数据接收互不影响。
另外,有的终端设备虽然可以在多个网络同时驻留,但是可能采用时分模式(TDM Pattern)在两个网络驻留。其中,终端设备可以一段时间在网络A驻留并监听网络A的寻呼(paging),另一段时间在网络B驻留并监听网络B的paging。或者,终端设备可以一段时间在网络A上与网络设备建立连接并收发数据,一段时间要到网络B上接收paging。或者,终端设备可以一段时间在网络A上接收数据,另一段时间在网络B上与网络设备建立连接或收收发数据。
需要说明的是,终端设备可以通过其控制的不同UE(即SIM卡)与不同网络交互。例如,终端设备可以通过其控制的UE A驻留在网络A,并通过其控制的UE B驻留在网络B。
2、测量Gap协商执行NR测量任务
网络(如该网络中的网络设备)给UE配置测量Gap(间隙),以便UE执行新空口(New Radio,NR)测量任务。
网络发送Gap需求配置(Need For Gap Configuration),指示UE是否可以上报测量Gap需求。
UE需求上报测量Gap需求(Need For Gap)。并且,上报的测量Gap需求包括:是否需要Gap,以及需要Gap的频段、需要Gap的同频测量、需要Gap的异频测量、需要Gap的Inter-RAT测量等。网络分配测量Gap,使得UE利用分配的Gap执行测量任务。
然而,多卡终端具有多样化的任务,具体体现为多卡终端中的多卡任务多样化。其中,多卡终端的任务包括空闲模式下的任务和连接模式下的任务。上述空闲模式下的任务包括寻呼、测量、小区搜索、背景公共陆地移动网络(Public Land Mobile Network,PLMN)搜索(Search)等。连接模式下的任务包括信令过程、短信收发、数据业务等。另外,不同能力的终端设备在执行不同的任务时有多样化的Gap需求,即终端设备具有除测量Gap需求之外的其他Gap需求,用于执行除测量任务以外的其他任务。
综上所述,对于多卡终端,终端设备能力多样化、任务多样化以及资源冲突多样化,终端设备如何向网络请求Gap,网络相应地如何分配Gap成为待解决的问题。也就是说,有待改进Gap分配机制来较好地覆盖多卡终端的Gap协商和配置需求,以解决如何配置支持除测量任务以外的其他任务的Gap的问题。
为了解决上述问题,本发明实施例提供一种Gap配置方法、UE及网络设备,网络设备通过向第一UE发送第一使能信息,指示第一Gap的第一需求配置是否使能,即指示包括N个Gap类型中的至少一个Gap类型的Gap的需求是否使能。随后,在第一使能信息指示第一需求配置使能的情况下,第一UE通过向网络设备发送第一请求信息,可以请求第一目标Gap,即请求Gap类型为N个Gap类型中的至少一个的第一目标Gap。进而,网络设备可以通过向第一UE发送第一配置信息,用于为第一UE配置第一目标Gap。如此,实现了网络设备与第一UE之间的多样化的Gap协商和配置,即实现了Gap分配机制覆盖多样化的Gap协商和配置需求。进而,通过增强Gap协商,覆盖多卡终端的Gap需求,避免多卡终端业务中断,更加有效地利用网络资源,避免资源浪费。
需要说明的是,本发明实施例提供的Gap配置方法、UE及网络设备,可以应用于单卡终端或多卡终端与网络设备之间进行多样化的Gap协商和配置的场景中。
本发明实施例中,UE可以为安装在终端设备中的SIM卡,也可以为与终端设备关联的多台设备。例如,终端设备与多个UE可以为同一物联网中的多台设备,且终端设备可以作为该多个UE的控制设备。
可选的,本发明实施例提供的Gap配置方法,在UE侧的执行主体可以为UE,或者,该UE的中央处理器(Central Processing Unit,CPU),或者该UE中的用于执行Gap配置方法的控制模块。
类似的,本发明实施例提供的Gap配置方法,在网络设备侧的执行主体可以为网络设备,或者,该网络设备的CPU,或者该网络设备中的用于执行Gap配置方法的控制模块。
本发明实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信***,例如,4G长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)通信***,5G通信***,未来演进***或者多种通信融合***等等。可以包括多种应用场景,例如,机器对机器(Machine to Machine,M2M)、D2M、宏微通信、增强型移动互联网(enhance Mobile Broadband,eMBB)、超高可靠性与超低时延通信(ultra Reliable&Low Latency
