Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wireless communications, and in particular to an information processing method, a network node, and a terminal. Background Art
[0002] In related technologies, a new radio (NR) layered coverage design strategy has been proposed, such as Figure 1 As shown, for example, including four beams, assuming Figure 1 Since the building area corresponding to beam 3 has the lowest receiving power (i.e., the signal is the worst), the coverage enhancement of the corresponding building area is achieved by enhancing the coverage in the direction of beam 3, that is, supporting the coverage increase in some or all beam directions of NR.
[0003] In addition, on the one hand, when a connected terminal is far away from the serving cell or close to a better neighboring cell, a handover is required to ensure service performance. To this end, the terminal needs to measure the serving cell and / or neighboring cells and report a measurement report to the serving cell when certain conditions are met, so that the serving cell can make a handover decision based on the measurement report results. On the other hand, when an idle or deactivated terminal is far away from the resident cell, a cell reselection is required to ensure that the service can be successfully initiated to restore the connected state. To this end, the terminal needs to initiate neighboring cell measurements when certain conditions are met and make a reselection decision based on the measurement results.
[0004] Therefore, whether a connected terminal triggers a measurement report or an idle / deactivated terminal initiates cell reselection, it is based on signal strength or channel quality. Although beam-based coverage enhancement is primarily designed for IoT terminals and weak coverage areas, related technical solutions allow terminals to occupy coverage enhancement beams regardless of whether they are actually in weak coverage areas, squeezing out time and frequency resources from IoT terminals and terminals in weak coverage areas.

[0093] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0094] An embodiment of the present invention provides an information processing method. Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the information processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention Figure 1 ;like Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:
[0095] Step 101: A network node sends coverage enhancement resource indication information to a terminal, where the coverage enhancement resource indication information is used to instruct the terminal to delay performing measurement reporting for designated resources, or to instruct the terminal to delay performing reselection of a cell corresponding to the designated resources.
[0096] In this embodiment, the network node may be an access network device that can communicate with terminal devices, provide communication coverage for a specific geographical area, and communicate with terminal devices within the coverage area. As an example, the network node may be a base station in various communication systems.
[0097] In this embodiment, the network node sends coverage enhancement resource indication information to the terminal, so that the terminal delays triggering measurement reporting or cell reselection for designated resources based on the coverage enhancement resource indication information.
[0098] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the coverage enhancement resource indication information is used to indicate that the designated resource is dedicated to coverage enhancement; or, the coverage enhancement resource indication information is used to indicate that the priority of the designated resource is lower than that of other resources.
[0099] In this embodiment, as an implementation method, the network node may indicate the coverage enhancement resource indication information via a preset field in a specific message. The preset field may be a 1-bit reserved field in the specific message, and the 1-bit reserved field indicates whether the designated resource is dedicated for coverage enhancement. The specific message may be a pre-agreed message of a certain type. As another implementation method, the network node may also indicate the coverage enhancement resource indication information via a preset field in a specific message, and the coverage enhancement resource indication information is used to indicate that the priority of the designated resource is lower than the priority of other resources. The priority of the resource is such that, when triggering a measurement report or reselecting the cell corresponding to the resource, the terminal generally selects a resource with a higher priority to trigger the measurement report or reselect the cell corresponding to the resource. The specific message may be a pre-agreed message of a certain type; the preset field may be an X-bit reserved field in the specific message, and the X-bit reserved field indicates that the priority of the designated resource is lower than the priority of other resources.
[0100] As an example, when the coverage enhancement resource indication information is used to indicate that the priority of the designated resource is lower than the priorities of other resources, the coverage enhancement resource indication information may be the lowest priority corresponding to the resource. In practical applications, the priority of a resource may be defined in a pre-agreed manner or a configured manner, for example, including four priority levels, and the coverage enhancement resource indication information may be the lowest priority among the four priority levels corresponding to the resource.
[0101] In this embodiment, the network node sends coverage enhancement resource indication information to the terminal, including: when the terminal is in a connected state, the network node sends coverage enhancement resource indication information to the terminal through RRC signaling; when the terminal is in an idle state or a deactivated state, the network node sends coverage enhancement resource indication information to the terminal through system information.
[0102] In this embodiment, when the terminal is in different states, the network node sends the coverage enhancement resource indication information to the terminal in different ways. When the terminal is in a connected state, the network node sends the coverage enhancement resource indication information to the terminal through RRC signaling; when the terminal is in an idle state or a deactivated state, the network node sends the coverage enhancement resource indication information to the terminal through system information (SI).
[0103] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes: the network node sends delay configuration information to the terminal; the delay configuration information includes at least one of the following: a first threshold value, a second threshold value, a third threshold value, and a fourth threshold value; the first threshold value represents the duration for which the terminal delays executing a measurement report for a specified resource; the second threshold value represents the number of times the terminal delays executing a measurement report for a specified resource; the third threshold value represents the duration for which the terminal delays executing reselection of a cell corresponding to the specified resource; and the fourth threshold value represents the number of times the terminal delays executing reselection of a cell corresponding to the specified resource.
[0104] In this embodiment, since the terminal delays executing the measurement report for the designated resource or delays executing the reselection of the cell corresponding to the designated resource based on the received coverage enhancement resource indication information; in one embodiment, the network node also needs to send delay configuration information to the terminal, and the delay configuration information is used to characterize the degree to which the terminal delays executing the measurement report for the designated resource or delays executing the reselection of the cell corresponding to the designated resource, and the degree can be expressed by the length of the delay, or by the number of times the measurement report for the designated resource or the reselection of the cell corresponding to the designated resource is not executed.
[0105] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, before the network node sends the delay configuration information to the terminal, the method further includes: the network node determines the delay configuration information based on at least one of the service delay requirements, measurement reporting period, and power saving requirements of the terminal.
[0106] In this embodiment, as an implementation method, the delay configuration information must meet the terminal's service delay requirement, that is, even if the terminal delays performing measurement reporting for the designated resource, or delays performing reselection of the cell corresponding to the designated resource, the terminal's service delay requirement must be met. As an example, the delay duration for the terminal to perform measurement reporting for the designated resource is less than the duration corresponding to the terminal's service delay requirement, or the delay duration for the terminal to perform reselection of the cell corresponding to the designated resource is less than the duration corresponding to the terminal's service delay requirement. As another implementation method, the delay configuration information must meet the terminal's power saving requirement. For example, the terminal's power saving requirement indicates the terminal's standby time. If the standby time is met, the terminal cannot perform measurement reporting or cell reselection when the triggering conditions for measurement reporting or cell reselection are met. Therefore, the frequency with which the terminal performs measurement reporting for the designated resource must meet the terminal's standby time (or the terminal's power saving requirement), or the frequency with which the terminal performs reselection of the cell corresponding to the designated resource must meet the terminal's standby time (or the terminal's power saving requirement). As another implementation method, since the terminal delays executing the measurement report for the specified resources, or delays executing the reselection of the cell corresponding to the specified resources, the delay duration for the terminal to execute the measurement report for the specified resources, or the delay duration for the terminal to execute the reselection of the cell corresponding to the specified resources in the delay configuration information must be greater than the measurement report period.
[0107] By adopting the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, coverage enhancement resource indication information is sent to the terminal through the network node, so that the terminal delays the execution of the measurement report for the specified resource or delays the execution of the reselection of the cell corresponding to the specified resource. During the delay period, the terminal can determine whether to execute the measurement report or cell reselection based on the measurement report trigger condition or the cell reselection trigger condition. After the delay times out, if the specified resource still meets the measurement report trigger condition or the cell reselection trigger condition, the measurement report or cell reselection is executed again; while the terminal in a mobile state may not meet the measurement report trigger condition or the cell reselection trigger condition for the specified resource, and the Internet of Things terminal will always meet the measurement report trigger condition or the cell reselection trigger condition for the specified resource due to its static characteristics. Therefore, the method of delaying the execution of the measurement report for the specified resource or delaying the execution of the reselection of the cell corresponding to the specified resource in the embodiment of the present invention can effectively prevent ordinary terminals or terminals in strong coverage areas from occupying coverage enhancement resources, and ensure that coverage enhancement resources are more available for Internet of Things terminals and terminals in weak coverage areas.
[0108] An embodiment of the present invention also provides an information processing method. Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the information processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention Figure 2 ;like Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:
[0109] Step 201: The terminal receives coverage enhancement resource indication information sent by a network node;
[0110] Step 202: delaying the measurement report for the designated resources based on the coverage enhancement resource indication information, or delaying the reselection of the cell corresponding to the designated resources based on the coverage enhancement resource indication information.
[0111] In this embodiment, the terminal may be an access terminal, a user equipment (UE), a mobile device, etc. The terminal delays performing measurement reporting for designated resources, or delays performing reselection of a cell corresponding to the designated resources, by receiving coverage enhancement resource indication information sent by a network node.
[0112] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the coverage enhancement resource indication information is used to indicate that the designated resource is dedicated to coverage enhancement; or, the coverage enhancement resource indication information is used to indicate that the priority of the designated resource is lower than that of other resources.
[0113] In this embodiment, as an implementation method, the network node may indicate the coverage enhancement resource indication information through a preset field in a specific message. The preset field may be a 1-bit or multi-bit reserved field in the specific message. The terminal then identifies the specific message, obtains the indication of the reserved field in the specific message, and determines whether the specified resource is dedicated to coverage enhancement, or whether the priority of the specified resource is lower than that of other resources. The specific message may be a pre-agreed message of a certain type.
[0114] In this embodiment, the terminal receives the coverage enhancement resource indication information sent by the network node, including: when the terminal is in a connected state, the terminal receives the coverage enhancement resource indication information sent by the network node through RRC signaling; when the terminal is in an idle state or a deactivated state, the terminal receives the coverage enhancement resource indication information sent by the network node through system information.
[0115] In this embodiment, when the terminal is in different states, the network node sends coverage enhancement resource indication information to the terminal in different ways, and accordingly, the terminal receives the coverage enhancement resource indication information in corresponding ways. When the terminal is in a connected state, the network node sends the coverage enhancement resource indication information to the terminal through RRC signaling, and the terminal receives the coverage enhancement resource indication information through RRC signaling; when the terminal is in an idle state or a deactivated state, the network node sends the coverage enhancement resource indication information to the terminal through system information (SI); and the terminal receives the coverage enhancement resource indication information through system information.
[0116] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the delayed execution of the measurement report for the designated resource based on the coverage enhancement resource indication information includes: when the terminal is in a connected state and the terminal determines that the designated resource meets the measurement report trigger condition, the terminal starts a first timer and / or a first counter; wherein the count value of the first counter is increased by one when the terminal detects that the designated resource meets the measurement report trigger condition once; when the first timer and / or the first counter meets the preset condition, the terminal executes the measurement report for the designated resource and sends the measurement result.
[0117] Among them, the first timer and / or the first counter meet preset conditions, including at least one of the following: the timing duration of the first timer exceeds the first threshold value; the count value of the first counter exceeds the second threshold value; when the timing duration of the first timer does not exceed the first threshold value, the count value of the first counter exceeds the second threshold value.
[0118] This embodiment is applicable to application scenarios in which the terminal is in a connected state. As a first implementation manner, when the terminal determines that the designated resource meets the measurement report trigger condition, the first timer is started, and after the timing time of the first timer expires (that is, the timing duration of the first timer exceeds the first threshold value), a measurement report for the designated resource is performed. As a second implementation manner, when the terminal determines that the designated resource meets the measurement report trigger condition, the first counter is started, and within the start range of the first timer, the number of times the designated resource meets the measurement report trigger condition is counted, and when the number reaches a preset threshold (that is, the count value of the first counter exceeds the second threshold value), a measurement report for the designated resource is performed. As a third implementation manner, when the terminal determines that the designated resource meets the measurement report trigger condition, the first timer and the first counter are started at the same time; when the timing duration of the first timer does not exceed the first threshold value and the count value of the first counter exceeds the second threshold value, a measurement report for the designated resource is performed.
[0119] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the delayed execution of the reselection of the cell corresponding to the designated resource based on the coverage enhancement resource indication information includes: when the terminal is in an idle state or a deactivated state, and the terminal determines that the designated resource meets the cell reselection trigger condition, the terminal starts a second timer and / or a second counter; wherein the count value of the second counter is increased by one when the terminal detects that the designated resource meets the cell reselection trigger condition once; when the second timer and / or the second counter meets the preset condition, the terminal executes the reselection of the cell corresponding to the designated resource.
[0120] Among them, the second timer and / or the second counter meet the preset conditions, including at least one of the following: the timing duration of the second timer exceeds the third threshold value; the count value of the second counter exceeds the fourth threshold value; when the timing duration of the second timer does not exceed the third threshold value, the count value of the second counter exceeds the fourth threshold value.
[0121] This embodiment is applicable to application scenarios in which the terminal is in an idle state or a deactivated state. As a first implementation manner, when the terminal determines that the designated resource meets the cell reselection trigger condition, the second timer is turned on, and after the timing time of the second timer expires (that is, the timing duration of the second timer exceeds the third threshold value), the reselection of the cell corresponding to the designated resource is performed. As a second implementation manner, when the terminal determines that the designated resource meets the cell reselection trigger condition, the second counter is turned on, and within the start range of the second timer, the number of times the designated resource meets the cell reselection trigger condition is counted, and when the number reaches a preset threshold (that is, the count value of the second counter exceeds the fourth threshold value), the reselection of the cell corresponding to the designated resource is performed. As a third implementation manner, when the terminal determines that the designated resource meets the cell reselection trigger condition, the second timer and the second counter are turned on at the same time; when the timing duration of the second timer does not exceed the third threshold value and the count value of the second counter exceeds the fourth threshold value, the reselection of the cell corresponding to the designated resource is performed.
[0122] In this embodiment, when the terminal delays the execution of the measurement report for the specified resource, it can determine whether the measurement report trigger condition is met for other resources; when it is determined that the measurement report trigger condition is met for other resources, the measurement report can be performed for the other resources; or, when the delay times out, that is, when the first timer and / or the first counter meets the preset conditions (for example, the timing duration of the first timer exceeds the first threshold value, and / or the count value of the first counter exceeds the second threshold value), the terminal can again determine whether the measurement report trigger condition is met for the specific resource; when the measurement report trigger condition is met, the measurement report is performed for the specific resource again.
[0123] During the process of delaying the reselection of the cell corresponding to the designated resource, the terminal may determine whether the cell reselection trigger condition is met for other resources; if it is determined that the cell reselection condition is met for other resources, cell reselection may be performed for other resources; or, when the delay times out, that is, the second timer and / or the second counter meets the preset conditions (for example, the timing duration of the second timer exceeds the third threshold value, and / or the count value of the second counter exceeds the fourth threshold value), the terminal may again determine whether the cell reselection trigger condition is met for the specific resource; if the cell reselection trigger condition is met, cell reselection for the specific resource is performed again.
[0124] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes: the terminal determining the delay configuration information; or, the terminal receiving the delay configuration information sent by the network node; the delay configuration information includes at least one of the following: a first threshold value, a second threshold value, a third threshold value, and a fourth threshold value; wherein, the delay configuration information is determined based on at least one of the service delay requirements, measurement reporting period, and power saving requirements of the terminal.
[0125] In this embodiment, the terminal or the network node can determine the delay configuration information based on at least one of the terminal's service delay requirement, the measurement reporting period, and the terminal's power saving requirement. The specific determination method can refer to the above embodiment and will not be repeated here.
[0126] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes: when the terminal is in a connected state and the terminal determines that other resources except the designated resources meet the measurement report triggering condition, the terminal performs measurement reporting for the other resources and sends the measurement results.
[0127] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, after sending the measurement result, the method further includes: the terminal resetting the first timer and / or the first counter.
[0128] In this embodiment, if the resource that currently meets the measurement report triggering condition is other resources except the designated resource, the terminal performs measurement reporting for the other resources and sends the measurement result; and the terminal resets the first timer and / or the first counter.
[0129] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes: when the terminal is in an idle state or a deactivated state and the terminal determines that other resources except the designated resources meet the cell reselection triggering condition, the terminal performs reselection of the cell corresponding to the other resources.
[0130] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, after the terminal performs reselection of the cell corresponding to the other resources, the method further includes: the terminal resetting the second timer and / or the second counter.
[0131] In this embodiment, if the resource currently meeting the cell reselection triggering condition is a resource other than the designated resource, the terminal performs reselection of the cell of the other resource; and the terminal resets the second timer and / or the second counter.
[0132] By adopting the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, coverage enhancement resource indication information is sent to the terminal through the network node, so that the terminal delays the execution of measurement report for the specified resource or delays the execution of reselection of the cell corresponding to the specified resource. During the delay period, the terminal can determine whether to execute measurement report or cell reselection based on the measurement report trigger condition or the cell reselection trigger condition. After the delay times out, if the specified resource still meets the measurement report trigger condition or the cell reselection trigger condition, the measurement report or cell reselection can be executed again; while the terminal in a mobile state may not meet the measurement report trigger condition or the cell reselection trigger condition for the specified resource, and the Internet of Things terminal will always meet the measurement report trigger condition or the cell reselection trigger condition for the specified resource due to its static characteristics. Therefore, the method of delaying the execution of measurement report for the specified resource or delaying the execution of reselection of the cell corresponding to the specified resource in the embodiment of the present invention can effectively prevent ordinary terminals or terminals in strong coverage areas from occupying coverage enhancement resources, and ensure that coverage enhancement resources are more available for Internet of Things terminals and terminals in weak coverage areas.

[0139] Step 303b: If the timing duration of the first timer exceeds time threshold 1 (i.e., the first threshold value), the terminal performs a measurement report on time-frequency resource 1, reports the measurement result of time-frequency resource 1, and resets the first timer;
[0140] Step 304: If the measurement result of the terminal on the time-frequency resource 2 not indicated by the coverage enhancement resource indication information meets the measurement report triggering condition, the terminal performs measurement reporting on the time-frequency resource 2, reports the measurement result of the time-frequency resource 2, and resets the first timer.

[0146] Step 403b: If the duration of the second timer exceeds time threshold 3 (i.e., the third threshold value), the terminal performs cell reselection for time-frequency resource 1, reselects to the cell operating on time-frequency resource 1, and resets the second timer;
