Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of information processing, and in particular, to a carrier load control method, a network device, a user equipment (UE), and a computer storage medium. Background Art

[0002] Currently, with the pursuit of rate, latency, high-speed mobility, and energy efficiency by people, as well as the diversity and complexity of services in future life, the 3GPP international standard organization has started to research 5G. In the NR discussion, the maximum channel bandwidth of each NR carrier is 100 MHz for low frequencies and 400 MHz for high frequencies, and the 100 MHz / 400 MHz channel bandwidth is continuous. If the UE remains operating on a wideband carrier, the power consumption of the UE is very high. Therefore, it is recommended that the RF bandwidth of the UE can be adjusted according to the actual throughput of the UE. For example, if the rate of the UE is very low, a smaller bandwidth can be configured for the UE ( Figure 1 , such as BWP1 in the figure), if the UE rate requirement is very high, a larger bandwidth can be configured for the UE ( Figure 2 , such as BWP2 in the figure, and the bandwidth of this BWP2 is greater than Figure 1 the bandwidth of BWP1 in Figure 3 ). If the UE supports high rates or operates in the CA mode, multiple BWPs can be configured (

[0003] , where there are BWP1 and BWP2). Summary of the Invention

[0037] In order to more comprehensively understand the features and technical content of the embodiments of the present invention, the implementation of the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings are only for reference and explanation, and are not used to limit the embodiments of the present invention.

[0038] Embodiment 1

[0039] The embodiment of the present invention provides a carrier load control method, which is applied to a network device. The method includes:

[0040] Configuring an uplink bandwidth part set and a downlink bandwidth part set for a user equipment UE through broadcast information;

[0041] Wherein, the uplink bandwidth part set includes at least two uplink bandwidth parts, and the at least two uplink bandwidth parts are part of all the uplink bandwidth parts that the network device can allocate; at least one first uplink bandwidth part containing random access information resource configuration information exists in the at least two uplink bandwidth parts;

[0042] The downlink bandwidth part set includes at least two downlink bandwidth parts, and the at least two downlink bandwidth parts are part of all the downlink bandwidth parts that the network device can allocate.

[0043] It should be understood that the foregoing is to configure the uplink bandwidth part set and the downlink bandwidth part set for the UE. That is, the network device configures the uplink bandwidth part set and the downlink bandwidth part set for all or at least part of the UEs managed by itself, but does not limit the number of UEs for which the configuration is performed.

[0044] That is to say, the network side (network device) broadcasts a set of common DL BWP sets and UL BWP sets in the system broadcast message, and each DL BWP and UL BWP corresponds to a configured index value.

[0045] Moreover, at least one of the at least two UL BWPs included in the UL BWP set is the first uplink bandwidth part containing PRACH resource configuration information.

[0046] It should be noted that the number of uplink bandwidth part sets configured in this embodiment can be greater than 1 and less than the number of all uplink bandwidth parts divided by the current system. For example, if the current system can divide 4 uplink bandwidth parts, then the common uplink bandwidth parts included in the uplink bandwidth part set can be 2 or 3. In addition, the downlink bandwidth part set is the same as the foregoing and will not be elaborated here.

[0047] Furthermore, combined respectively Figure 4 、 5 This embodiment will be described in detail from two processing scenarios:

[0048] Scenario 1, as Figure 4 shown:

[0049] Step 401: Configure the uplink bandwidth part set and the downlink bandwidth part set for the user equipment UE through broadcast information;

[0050] Step 402: Receive the random access preamble sent by the UE in the first uplink bandwidth part;

[0051] Step 403: Send response information for the random access preamble in the downlink bandwidth part included in the downlink bandwidth part set.

[0052] Alternatively, there may also be another processing method,

[0053] That is, after completing the foregoing steps 401 and 402, execute step 404: Send response information for the random access preamble to the UE from the first downlink bandwidth part in the downlink bandwidth part set.

[0054] That is to say, for the random access process, the UE sends MSG1 on the UL BWP containing PRACH resources in the common UL BWP,

[0055] The first method: The network side sends the RAR response on all BWPs in the common BWP DL set. However, the UE only needs to listen for the RAR on one DL BWP in the common BWP DL set.

[0056] The second method: The network side sends the RAR response on one BWP in the common BWP DL set. The UE also listens for the RAR on this DL BWP.

[0057] In the second method, to determine in which downlink (DL) bandwidth part (BWP) to listen for MSG2, it can be: Based on the index of the random access preamble and the number of downlink bandwidth parts included in the downlink bandwidth part set, calculate the index value of the first downlink bandwidth part.

[0058] Among them, the specific calculation method can be to perform a modulo operation using the index of the random access preamble and the number of downlink bandwidth parts included in the downlink bandwidth part set, and the operation result is the index value of the DL BWP.

[0059] For example, the DL BWP index = the sending preamble index mod (the number of BWPs in the DL BWP set).

[0060] Scenario 2

[0061] As Figure 5 shown, it includes:

[0062] Step 501: Configure the uplink bandwidth part set and the downlink bandwidth part set for the user equipment UE through broadcast information;

[0063] Step 502: Send a paging message to the UE through the second downlink bandwidth part in the downlink bandwidth part set.

[0064] Among them, in step 502, the calculation method of the index value of the second downlink bandwidth part can include:

[0065] Based on the identification information of the UE and the number of downlink bandwidth parts included in the downlink bandwidth part set, calculate the index value corresponding to the second downlink bandwidth part for sending the paging message to the UE.

[0066] Specifically, it can perform a modulo calculation using the identification of the UE and the number of downlink bandwidth parts included in the downlink bandwidth part set, and the calculated result is the index value corresponding to the second downlink bandwidth part for sending the paging message to the UE.

[0067] For example, for a UE to receive a paging message, the UE listens for the paging message on a BWP in a common DL BWP set. This DL BWP is determined by calculating UE-ID mod the number of BWPs in the DL BWP set. That is, the DL BWP index for listening to the paging message = UE-ID mod (the number of BWPs in the DL BWP set).

[0068] It can be seen that by adopting the above method, the network side configures a part of the uplink and downlink bandwidth parts for the UE. This part of the uplink and downlink bandwidth parts is used as a common resource for dedicated paging and random access processing. Thus, it is possible to avoid the problem of a relatively high conflict probability caused by performing paging and random access processing only on one uplink and one downlink bandwidth part, and it is also possible to avoid the problem of network side resource waste caused by sending downlink random access responses on all BWPs.

[0069] Embodiment 2

[0070] An embodiment of the present invention provides a carrier load control method applied to a UE. The method includes:

[0071] Receiving, through broadcast information, a set of uplink bandwidth parts and a set of downlink bandwidth parts configured by the network side;

[0072] Wherein, the set of uplink bandwidth parts includes at least two uplink bandwidth parts, and the at least two uplink bandwidth parts are part of all the uplink bandwidth parts that can be allocated by the network device; at least one first uplink bandwidth part among the at least two uplink bandwidth parts contains random access information resource configuration information;

[0073] The set of downlink bandwidth parts includes at least two downlink bandwidth parts, and the at least two downlink bandwidth parts are part of all the downlink bandwidth parts that can be allocated by the network device.

[0074] It should be understood that the foregoing configuration of the set of uplink bandwidth parts and the set of downlink bandwidth parts for the UE means that the network device configures the set of uplink bandwidth parts and the set of downlink bandwidth parts for all or at least part of the UEs managed by itself, but does not limit the number of UEs for which the configuration is performed.

[0075] That is to say, the network side (network device) broadcasts a set of common DL BWP set and ULBWP set in the system broadcast message, and each DL BWP and ULBWP corresponds to a configured index value.

[0076] Moreover, at least one of the at least two UL BWPs included in the UL BWP set contains the first uplink bandwidth part with PRACH resource configuration information.

[0077] It should be noted that the number of the configured uplink bandwidth part sets in this embodiment can be greater than 1 and less than the number of all uplink bandwidth parts divided by the current system. For example, if the current system can divide 4 uplink bandwidth parts, then the common uplink bandwidth parts included in the uplink bandwidth part set can be 2 or 3. In addition, the downlink bandwidth part set is the same as the foregoing and will not be elaborated here.

[0078] Furthermore, this embodiment will be described in detail separately in combination with Figure 6 , 7 from two processing scenarios:

[0079] Scenario 1, as Figure 6 shown:

[0080] Step 601: Receive the configured uplink bandwidth part set and the downlink bandwidth part set from the network side through broadcast information;

[0081] Step 602: Send a random access preamble to the network side in the first uplink bandwidth part;

[0082] Step 603: Receive the response information for the random access preamble sent by the network side in the downlink bandwidth part included in the downlink bandwidth part set.

[0083] Alternatively, there can also be another processing method,

[0084] that is, after completing the foregoing steps 601 and 602, execute step 604: Receive the response information for the random access preamble sent by the network side from the first downlink bandwidth part in the downlink bandwidth part set.

[0085] That is to say, for the random access process, the UE sends MSG1 on the UL BWP containing the PRACH resource in the common UL BWP.

[0086] The first method: The network side sends the RAR response on all BWPs in the common BWP DL set. However, the UE only needs to listen for the RAR on one DL BWP in the common BWP DL set.

[0087] The second method: The network side sends the RAR response on one BWP in the common BWP DL set. The UE also listens for the RAR on this DL BWP.

[0088] In the second method, determining in which downlink (DL) bandwidth part (BWP) to monitor MSG2 can be as follows: Calculate the index value of the first DL BWP based on the index of the random access preamble and the number of DL BWPs included in the set of DL BWPs.

[0089] Specifically, the calculation method can be to perform a modulo operation on the index of the random access preamble and the number of DL BWPs included in the set of DL BWPs, and the operation result is the index value of the DL BWP.

[0090] For example, the DL BWP index = sending preamble index mod (number of BWPs in the DL BWP set).

[0091] Scenario 2

[0092] As Figure 7 shown, it includes:

[0093] Step 701: Receive, through broadcast information, the set of uplink bandwidth parts and the set of downlink bandwidth parts configured by the network side;

[0094] Step 702: Receive, through the second DL BWP in the set of DL BWPs, the paging message sent by the network side.

[0095] Among them, in step 702, the calculation method of the index value of the second DL BWP can include:

[0096] Calculate the index value corresponding to the second DL BWP for sending the paging message to the UE based on the identification information of the UE and the number of DL BWPs included in the set of DL BWPs.

[0097] Specifically, the modulo calculation can be performed on the identification of the UE and the number of DL BWPs included in the set of DL BWPs, and the calculation result is the index value corresponding to the second DL BWP for sending the paging message to the UE.

[0098] For example, for the UE to receive the paging message, the UE listens for the paging message on a BWP in the common DL BWP set. This DL BWP is determined by calculating UE-ID mod the number of BWPs in the DL BWP set through the paging occasion. That is, the DL BWP index for listening to the paging message = UE-ID mod (number of BWPs in the DL BWP set).

[0099] It can be seen that by adopting the above method, the network side configures a part of the uplink and downlink bandwidth parts for the UE, and this part of the uplink and downlink bandwidth parts is used as common resources for dedicated paging and random access processing. Thus, it is possible to avoid the problem of a relatively high collision probability caused by performing paging and random access processing only on one uplink and one downlink bandwidth part, and it is also possible to avoid the problem of network side resource waste caused by sending downlink random access responses on all BWPs.

[0100] Embodiment 3

[0101] An embodiment of the present invention provides a network device, as Figure 8 shown, including:

[0102] A first communication unit 81 configures an uplink bandwidth part set and a downlink bandwidth part set for a user equipment UE through broadcast information;

[0103] Wherein, the uplink bandwidth part set includes at least two uplink bandwidth parts, and the at least two uplink bandwidth parts are part of all the uplink bandwidth parts that the network device can allocate; at least one first uplink bandwidth part containing random access information resource configuration information exists in the at least two uplink bandwidth parts;

[0104] The downlink bandwidth part set includes at least two downlink bandwidth parts, and the at least two downlink bandwidth parts are part of all the downlink bandwidth parts that the network device can allocate.

[0105] It should be understood that the foregoing configuration of the uplink bandwidth part set and the downlink bandwidth part set for the UE means that the network device configures the uplink bandwidth part set and the downlink bandwidth part set for all or at least part of the UEs managed by itself, but does not limit the number of UEs for which the configuration is performed.

[0106] That is to say, the network side (network device) broadcasts a set of common DL BWP set and UL BWP set in the system broadcast message, and each DL BWP and UL BWP corresponds to a configured index value.

[0107] Moreover, at least one of the at least two UL BWPs included in the UL BWP set is a first uplink bandwidth part containing PRACH resource configuration information.

[0108] It should be noted that the number of sets of uplink bandwidth portions configured in this embodiment can be greater than 1 and less than the number of all uplink bandwidth portions divided by the current system. For example, if the current system can divide 4 uplink bandwidth portions, then the number of common uplink bandwidth portions included in the set of uplink bandwidth portions can be 2 or 3. Additionally, the set of downlink bandwidth portions is the same as the foregoing and will not be elaborated here.

[0109] Further, this embodiment will be described in detail from two processing scenarios respectively in combination with Figure 4 and 5 :

[0110] Scenario 1: The first communication unit 81 configures a set of uplink bandwidth portions and a set of downlink bandwidth portions for the user equipment UE through broadcast information; in the first uplink bandwidth portion, it receives the random access preamble sent by the UE; and it sends response information for the random access preamble in the downlink bandwidth portions included in the set of downlink bandwidth portions.

[0111] Alternatively, there can also be another processing method. The first communication unit 81 sends response information for the random access preamble to the UE from the first downlink bandwidth portion in the set of downlink bandwidth portions.

[0112] That is to say, for the random access process, the UE sends MSG1 on the UL BWP that contains PRACH resources in the common UL BWP.

[0113] The first method: The network side sends RAR responses on all BWPs in the common BWP DL set. However, the UE only needs to listen for RAR on one DL BWP in the common BWP DL set.

[0114] The second method: The network side sends RAR responses on one BWP in the common BWP DL set. The UE also listens for RAR on this DL BWP.

[0115] In the second method, to determine in which downlink (DL) bandwidth portion (BWP) to listen for MSG2, the first processing unit 82 calculates the index value of the first downlink bandwidth portion based on the index of the random access preamble and the number of downlink bandwidth portions included in the set of downlink bandwidth portions.

[0116] Among them, the specific calculation method can be to perform a modulo operation using the index of the random access preamble and the number of downlink bandwidth portions included in the set of downlink bandwidth portions, and the operation result is the index value of the DL BWP.

[0117] For example, the DL BWP index = the transmitted preamble index mod (the number of BWPs in the DL BWP set).

[0118] Scenario 2

[0119] The first communication unit 81 configures, for a user equipment UE, a set of uplink bandwidth parts and a set of downlink bandwidth parts through broadcast information; and sends a paging message to the UE through a second downlink bandwidth part in the set of downlink bandwidth parts.

[0120] Among them, the calculation method for the index value of the second downlink bandwidth part may include:

[0121] The first processing unit 82 calculates, based on the identification information of the UE and the number of downlink bandwidth parts included in the set of downlink bandwidth parts, the index value corresponding to the second downlink bandwidth part for sending the paging message to the UE.

[0122] Specifically, the modulo calculation can be performed using the identification of the UE and the number of downlink bandwidth parts included in the set of downlink bandwidth parts, and the calculated result is the index value corresponding to the second downlink bandwidth part for the UE to send the paging message.

[0123] For example, for the UE to receive the paging message, the UE listens for the paging message on a BWP in the common DL BWP set. This DL BWP is determined by the UE-ID calculated through the paging occasion mod the number of BWPs in the DL BWP set. That is, the DL BWP index for listening for the paging message = UE-ID mod (the number of BWPs in the DL BWP set).

[0124] It can be seen that by adopting the above method, the network side configures a part of the uplink and downlink bandwidth parts for the UE. This part of the uplink and downlink bandwidth parts is used as a common resource for dedicated processing such as paging and random access. Thus, it is possible to avoid the problem of a relatively high conflict probability caused by performing paging and random access processing only on one uplink and one downlink bandwidth part, and it is also possible to avoid the problem of network side resource waste caused by sending downlink random access responses on all BWPs.

[0125] Embodiment 4

[0126] An embodiment of the present invention provides a UE, as Figure 9 shown, including:

[0127] The second communication unit 91 receives, through broadcast information, the set of uplink bandwidth parts and the set of downlink bandwidth parts configured by the network side;

[0128] Among them, the set of uplink bandwidth parts includes at least two uplink bandwidth parts, and the at least two uplink bandwidth parts are part of all the uplink bandwidth parts that the network device can allocate; there is at least one first uplink bandwidth part containing random access information resource configuration information among the at least two uplink bandwidth parts;

[0129] The set of downlink bandwidth parts includes at least two downlink bandwidth parts, and the at least two downlink bandwidth parts are part of all the downlink bandwidth parts that the network device can allocate.

[0130] It should be understood that the foregoing configuration of the set of uplink bandwidth parts and the set of downlink bandwidth parts for the UE means that the network device configures the set of uplink bandwidth parts and the set of downlink bandwidth parts for all or at least part of the UEs it manages, but does not limit the number of UEs for which the configuration is performed.

[0131] That is to say, the network side (network device) broadcasts a set of common DL BWP sets and UL BWP sets in the system broadcast message, and each DL BWP and UL BWP corresponds to a configured index value.

[0132] Moreover, at least one of the at least two UL BWPs included in the UL BWP set is a first uplink bandwidth part containing PRACH resource configuration information.

[0133] It should be noted that the number of the set of uplink bandwidth parts configured in this embodiment can be greater than 1 and less than the number of all the uplink bandwidth parts divided by the current system; for example, if the current system can divide 4 uplink bandwidth parts, then the number of common uplink bandwidth parts included in the set of uplink bandwidth parts can be 2 or 3. Additionally, the set of downlink bandwidth parts is the same as the foregoing and will not be elaborated here.

[0134] Furthermore, this embodiment is described in detail respectively in combination with Figure 6 、 7 from two processing scenarios:

[0135] Scenario 1,

[0136] The second communication unit 91 receives the set of uplink bandwidth parts and the set of downlink bandwidth parts configured by the network side through broadcast information; in the first uplink bandwidth part, it sends a random access preamble to the network side; and it receives the response information sent by the network side for the random access preamble in the downlink bandwidth part included in the set of downlink bandwidth parts.

[0137] Alternatively, there can be another processing method. The second communication unit 91 receives the response information for the random access preamble sent by the network side from the first downlink bandwidth part in the set of downlink bandwidth parts.

[0138] That is to say, for the random access procedure, the UE sends MSG1 on the UL BWP that contains the PRACH resource in the common UL BWP.

[0139] The first method: The network side sends the RAR response on all BWPs in the common BWP DL set. However, the UE only needs to listen for the RAR on one DL BWP in the common BWP DL set.

[0140] The second method: The network side sends the RAR response on one BWP in the common BWP DL set. The UE also listens for the RAR on this DL BWP.

[0141] When determining in which downlink (DL) bandwidth part (BWP) to listen for MSG2 in the second method, the UE further includes:

[0142] The second processing unit 92 calculates the index value of the first downlink bandwidth part based on the index of the random access preamble and the number of downlink bandwidth parts included in the set of downlink bandwidth parts.

[0143] Specifically, the calculation method can be to perform a modulo operation using the index of the random access preamble and the number of downlink bandwidth parts included in the set of downlink bandwidth parts, and the operation result is the index value of the DL BWP.

[0144] For example, the DL BWP index = the index of the sent preamble mod (the number of BWPs in the DL BWP set).

[0145] Scenario 2

[0146] The second communication unit 91 receives the set of uplink bandwidth parts and the set of downlink bandwidth parts configured by the network side through broadcast information; and receives the paging message sent by the network side through the second downlink bandwidth part in the set of downlink bandwidth parts.

[0147] Among them, the calculation method for the index value of the second downlink bandwidth part can include:

[0148] The second processing unit 92 calculates the index value corresponding to the second downlink bandwidth part for sending the paging message to the UE based on the identification information of the UE and the number of downlink bandwidth parts included in the set of downlink bandwidth parts.

[0149] Specifically, the identifier of the UE and the number of downlink bandwidth parts included in the downlink bandwidth part set can be used for modulo calculation, and the calculated result is the index value corresponding to the second downlink bandwidth part for the UE to send a paging message.

[0150] For example, for the UE to receive a paging message, the UE listens for the paging message on a BWP in the common DL BWP set. This DL BWP is determined by calculating UE-ID mod the number of BWPs in the DL BWP set through the paging occasion. That is, the DL BWP index for listening to the paging message = UE-ID mod (the number of BWPs in the DL BWP set).

[0151] It can be seen that by adopting the above method, the network side configures a part of the uplink and downlink bandwidth parts for the UE, and this part of the uplink and downlink bandwidth parts is used as a common resource for dedicated paging and random access processing. Thus, it can avoid the problem of a relatively high conflict probability caused by performing paging and random access processing only on one uplink and one downlink bandwidth part, and can also avoid the problem of network side resource waste caused by sending downlink random access responses on all BWPs.

[0152] The embodiment of the present invention also provides a hardware composition architecture of a user equipment or a network equipment, as Figure 10 shown, including: at least one processor 1001, a memory 1002, and at least one network interface 1003. Each component is coupled together through a bus system 1004. It can be understood that the bus system 1004 is used to realize the connection and communication between these components.
