Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of mobile communication technology, and in particular to a terminal configuration method, a terminal and a base station. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, each bandwidth part (BWP) of a service cell can be configured with a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) configuration. Since a service cell can be configured with multiple BWPs, a service cell can be configured with multiple SPS configurations, and the SPS configuration is usually used to configure the downlink resources of the terminal. Since only one BWP will be activated in a service cell at the same time, there is actually only one activated SPS configuration at a certain moment. Similarly, type 2 configuration authorization (Type2 CG) is usually used to configure the uplink resources of the terminal, and each BWP can be configured with a CG configuration. Therefore, when the media access control (MAC) entity receives an activation message (deactivation message) of the SPS or Type2 CG sent through the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), the MAC entity can accurately know which set of SPS / CG configurations is activated (deactivated).

[0003] In the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) scenario, it is necessary to support the configuration of one BWP and activate multiple SPS or CG configurations to adapt to the needs of the Time Sensitive Communication (TSC) service, and also to reduce the problem that the SPS cycle and the TSC service cycle cannot be fully matched by supporting multiple configurations. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method to achieve flexible SPS / CG configuration in scenarios such as IIoT. Summary of the invention

[0121] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 A block diagram of a wireless communication system applicable to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The wireless communication system includes a terminal 11 and a network device 12. The terminal 11 may also be referred to as a user terminal or user equipment (UE, User Equipment), and the terminal 11 may be a terminal side device such as a mobile phone, a tablet personal computer (Tablet Personal Computer), a laptop computer (Laptop Computer), a personal digital assistant (Personal Digital Assistant, PDA), a mobile Internet device (Mobile Internet Device, MID), a wearable device (Wearable Device) or a vehicle-mounted device. It should be noted that the specific type of the terminal 11 is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention. The network device 12 can be a base station and / or a core network element, wherein the above-mentioned base station can be a base station of 5G and later versions (for example: gNB, 5G NR NB, etc.), or a base station in other communication systems (for example: eNB, WLAN access point, or other access point, etc.), wherein the base station can be called a node B, an evolved node B, an access point, a base transceiver station (Base Transceiver Station, BTS), a radio base station, a radio transceiver, a basic service set (Basic Service Set, BSS), an extended service set (Extended Service Set, ESS), a B node, an evolved B node (eNB), a home B node, a home evolved B node, a WLAN access point, a WiFi node or some other suitable term in the field. As long as the same technical effect is achieved, the base station is not limited to specific technical vocabulary. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present invention, only the base station in the NR system is taken as an example, but the specific type of the base station is not limited.

[0122] The base station can communicate with the terminal 11 under the control of a base station controller, and in various examples, the base station controller can be part of the core network or certain base stations. Some base stations can communicate control information or user data with the core network via a backhaul. In some examples, some of these base stations can communicate with each other directly or indirectly via a backhaul link, which can be a wired or wireless communication link. The wireless communication system can support operations on multiple carriers (waveform signals of different frequencies). A multi-carrier transmitter can transmit modulated signals on these multiple carriers at the same time. For example, each communication link can be a multi-carrier signal modulated according to various radio technologies. Each modulated signal can be sent on a different carrier and can carry control information (e.g., reference signals, control channels, etc.), overhead information, data, etc.

[0123] The base station can communicate wirelessly with the terminal 11 via one or more access point antennas. Each base station can provide communication coverage for its respective coverage area. The coverage area of ​​the access point can be divided into sectors that constitute only a portion of the coverage area. The wireless communication system may include different types of base stations (e.g., macro base stations, micro base stations, or micro-micro base stations). The base station may also utilize different radio technologies, such as cellular or WLAN radio access technologies. The base station may be associated with the same or different access networks or operator deployments. The coverage areas of different base stations (including coverage areas of the same or different types of base stations, coverage areas utilizing the same or different radio technologies, or coverage areas belonging to the same or different access networks) may overlap.

[0124] The communication link in the wireless communication system may include an uplink for carrying an uplink (UL) transmission (e.g., from the terminal 11 to the network device 12), or a downlink for carrying a downlink (DL) transmission (e.g., from the network device 12 to the terminal 11). UL transmission may also be referred to as reverse link transmission, and DL transmission may also be referred to as forward link transmission. Downlink transmission may be performed using a licensed frequency band, an unlicensed frequency band, or both. Similarly, uplink transmission may be performed using a licensed frequency band, an unlicensed frequency band, or both.

[0125] Currently, the activation / deactivation of SPS / CG configuration is usually performed through downlink control information (DCI). In the IIoT scenario, the existing technology usually has the following problems:

[0126] 1) It is impossible to activate / deactivate one or N (N is an integer greater than 1) of multiple SPS / CG configurations separately. In addition, the activation indication is unclear. At the same time, if multiple SPS / CG configurations are activated in the existing way of activating each SPS / CG configuration separately, it will bring a large delay, and sending multiple DCIs will also increase the error probability, and it may not meet the delay requirements and reliability requirements of IIoT scenarios.

[0127] 2) In IIoT scenarios, the terminal (UE) may repeat the same behavior thousands of times, and the UE activity range is limited. The UE behavior pattern is predictable within a certain period of time, such as using the same cycle, transmission block size (TB size) or modulation and demodulation method. In scenarios where multiple SPS / CG configurations are used to improve reliability, some configurations may be constant. Therefore, if the existing configuration method is used, when multiple SPS / CG configurations are configured, the RRC signaling overhead may be large due to the inclusion of too much repeated or useless information.

[0128] Therefore, how to clearly indicate the activated / deactivated SPS configuration or Type2 CG configuration, and how to effectively save the configuration signaling overhead / activation signaling overhead in multiple business flows and reduce the activation delay are problems existing in the prior art and are also problems to be solved by this application.

[0129] To solve one or more of the above problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides a terminal configuration method, which can realize flexible SPS / CG configuration. Figure 2 The terminal configuration method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, when applied to a network device, such as a base station, includes:

[0130] Step 21, sending a first configuration message to the terminal, wherein the first configuration message includes at least one of the following: at least one activated SPS / CG configuration; at least one deactivated SPS / CG configuration; at least one suspended SPS / CG configuration and its suspension time.

[0131] Here, the specific SPS / CG configuration included in the first configuration message can be indicated by the index or identifier of the SPS / CG configuration. In addition, the SPS / CG configuration described in this article is an SPS configuration or a CG configuration.

[0132] Through the above steps, the embodiment of the present invention can activate / deactivate / suspend one or more SPS / CG configurations through a first configuration message. In this way, the activation / deactivation / suspension of the SPS / CG configuration can be achieved through one message, reducing the number of configuration messages, reducing signaling overhead and configuration delay, and improving configuration reliability.

[0133] In the IIoT scenario, the terminal may repeat the same behavior thousands of times, and the terminal activity range is limited. The terminal behavior pattern may also be predictable within a certain period of time, resulting in the SPS / CG configuration serving a certain type of business having many identical parameters. According to at least one embodiment of the present invention, the SPS / CG configuration is optimized for the above characteristics and divided into two parts.

[0134] Specifically, each SPS configuration may include a common configuration parameter and a dedicated additional configuration parameter. Among them, the common configuration parameters of the SPS configuration are configuration parameters shared by all SPS configurations, which may specifically include one or more of the period, transmission block size, and modulation and demodulation methods. The additional configuration parameters are configuration parameters dedicated to each SPS configuration. Of course, the additional configuration parameters of any two SPS configurations may be completely different, or may be partially the same or completely the same. Specifically, the additional configuration parameters of the SPS configuration may include the offset of time-frequency resources, etc. Similarly, the CG configuration can also be divided into common configuration parameters shared by all CG configurations and additional configuration parameters dedicated to each CG configuration.

[0135] In addition, the embodiment of the present invention may use the index or identification (ID) of the SPS / CG configuration to refer to each SPS / CG configuration. For example, for SPS configuration 1, the two parts include common configuration parameters (Common configuration) and additional configuration parameters (Delta configuration) of SPS configuration 1. For each set of SPS configuration, different configuration indexes / IDs may be used for indexing or indication.

[0136] Optionally, the common configuration parameters and each additional configuration parameter may be predefined and stored in advance on the network device and the terminal side, for example, stored in the storage hardware of the device before the device leaves the factory.

[0137] As another implementation, the common configuration parameters and each additional configuration parameter may also be pre-configured by the network device to the terminal. For example, after the terminal initially accesses the network, the common configuration parameters and each additional configuration parameter supported by the network are sent to the terminal via a signaling message.

[0138] As another implementation, the network device may only send the common configuration parameters and the additional configuration parameters supported by the terminal to the terminal, which can reduce the signaling overhead required for configuration. At this time, before sending the first configuration message in step 21, the network device may also send a second configuration message to the terminal, the second configuration message including the common configuration parameters shared by each SPS / CG configuration; and, according to the SPS / CG configuration supported by the terminal, send a third configuration message to the terminal, the third configuration message including the additional configuration parameters dedicated to each SPS / CG configuration supported by the terminal; wherein the configuration parameters of each SPS / CG configuration include the common configuration parameters and the additional configuration parameters dedicated to the SPS / CG configuration. Of course, in an embodiment of the present invention, the network device may also send the common configuration parameters of the SPS / CG configuration and the additional configuration parameters dedicated to each SPS / CG configuration supported by the terminal to the terminal through a configuration message.

[0139] Table 1 provides a specific example of an SPS configuration:

[0140]

[0141] Table 1

[0142] The Common configuration part may mainly include parameters such as cycle, TB size or modulation and demodulation mode, etc. Delta configuration includes the remaining part of the SPS configuration except the common configuration parameter part.

[0143] The network device can send common configuration parameters (Common configuration) when the terminal initially accesses, and the terminal performs preliminary configuration according to the common configuration parameters. Then the network device sends additional configuration parameters (Delta configuration) of one or more SPS configurations through dedicated signaling according to different business requirements.

[0144] For example, the network supports 16 SPS configurations, that is, 16 Delta configurations. For UE1, the Delta configuration indexes corresponding to its multiple services are 1 to 5, and the network device can only send the Delta configurations of SPS configurations 1 to 5 to UE1.

[0145] According to at least one embodiment of the present invention, the first configuration message in step 21 has multiple forms, for example, DCI, MAC CE or RRC message, etc. The following are respectively described in detail. It should be noted that the structure / composition of the following various messages is only an example that can be used in the embodiment of the present invention, and is not used to limit the present invention.

[0146] A) The first configuration message is downlink control information DCI, and the DCI includes:

[0150] A deactivation configuration indication field used to indicate the index or identifier of the deactivated SPS / CG configuration;

[0151] A suspension indication field used to indicate whether there is a suspended SPS / CG configuration;

[0152] A suspended configuration indication field is used to indicate the index or identifier of the suspended SPS / CG configuration and the suspension time.

[0153] For example, specifically, the following domain may be added to the DCI:

[0154] 1. Indentifier for activation, 1 bit in length. When this bit is set to 0, it indicates that the SPS or CG configuration is activated.

[0155] 2. Activation configuration indexes, length 8 to 32 bits, the specific number of bits is consistent with the number of SPS or CG configurations. When the nth bit value of this field is 1, it indicates that the nth SPS or CG configuration is activated.

[0156] 3. Indentifier for deactivation, 1 bit in length. This bit is set to 1, indicating that the SPS or CG configuration is deactivated.

[0157] 4. Deactivation configuration indexes, length 8 to 32 bits, the specific number of bits is consistent with the number of SPS or CG configurations. When the nth bit value of this field is 1, it means deactivating the nth SPS or CG configuration.

[0159] 6. The suspend index and timer fields are used to suspend the execution of some configurations. The suspend index contains the index of the suspended SPS or CG. When the nth bit value of this field is 1, it means that the nth SPS or CG configuration is suspended; in addition, it also contains the corresponding suspended suspend timer. The number of bits occupied by the timer here is related to the maximum timer supported by the system. If there are n 1s in the suspend index field, there are n timer fields.

[0160] Of course, the embodiment of the present invention can also design a new type of DCI, such as DCI format 2_2, which only includes the above-mentioned fields, so that it can be specifically used for SPS / CG activation, deactivation and suspend.

[0161] B) The first configuration message is a MAC CE, and the MAC CE includes:

[0162] A first indication field comprising at least one byte, wherein the first bit of the first indication field is used to indicate whether there is an activated SPS / CG configuration, and the remaining bits are used to indicate an index or identifier of the activated SPS / CG configuration or as reserved bits;

[0165] Figure 3 An example of the above MAC CE is given, where:

The length is 8 to 32 bits. The specific number of bits is consistent with the number of SPS / CG configurations. When the nth bit value of this field is 1, it indicates that the nth CG / SPS configuration is activated.

[0167] Deactivation indicates that a CG / SPS configuration needs to be deactivated. The default value is 1, followed by the index of the SPS / CG configuration to be deactivated. The length is 8 to 32 bits, and the specific number of bits is consistent with the number of CG / SPS configurations. When the nth bit value of this field is 1, it means deactivating the nth CG / SPS configuration.

[0168] Suspend indicates that there is a CG / SPS configuration that needs to be suspended. The default value is 1, followed by the CG / SPS index to be suspended and the corresponding timer. The proportion of timers is related to the maximum suspend duration of the system. Figure 3 In the figure, 6 bits are assumed.

[0169] In addition, since the MAC CE is filled by byte, a reserved bit R may be left after each indication field.

[0170] C) The first configuration message is RRC signaling, and the RRC signaling includes a preset information element IE, and the preset IE specifically includes:

[0171] a first variable for indicating at least one SPS / CG configuration that is activated;

The network broadcasts the Delta configuration of SPS configurations with indices 7 to 11 by broadcast or dedicated signaling, and first configures the UE to activate configurations with indices 7 and 8 for service transmission. Subsequently, as the UE service changes, the network needs to activate SPS configurations with indices 9 to 11 for the UE, deactivate SPS with indices 8, and suspend SPS configuration with indices 7 for 100 symbols. It is assumed here that the maximum suspend duration is 2^8 symbols, so each timer occupies 8 bits.
