Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of wireless communication technologies, but is not limited thereto, and in particular, relates to a paging processing method, apparatus, communication device, and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] In related technologies, when a user equipment (UE) is in a radio resource control (RRC) idle state (IDLE) or an RRC inactive state (INACTIVE), the main behavior of the UE is to periodically monitor paging messages. After receiving a paging message, the UE needs to enter the RRC connected state (Connected) for normal communication. The paging message is carried in a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), and needs to be scheduled by downlink control information (DCI) scrambled by a paging radio network temporary identity (P-RNTI). A PDSCH for carrying a paging message can carry paging messages of up to 32 UEs at most. For a UE, its paging occasion (PO) appears periodically, and multiple UEs may use the same set of periodic PO resources, that is, paging messages of multiple UEs may appear in one PO.

[0003] During the paging process, the UE needs to monitor each PDSCH scheduled by the paging DCI (that is, the DCI scrambled by the P-RNTI) in each PO for carrying the paging message. In the case of a short paging cycle, it will cause waste of UE energy consumption and radio time-frequency resources. However, if the paging cycle of the UE is configured to be long, there will be a problem that the paging capacity of the PDSCH is insufficient. Summary of the Invention

[0095] Please refer to Figure 1 , which shows a schematic structural diagram of a wireless communication system provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. As Figure 1 shown, the wireless communication system is a communication system based on cellular mobile communication technology, and the wireless communication system may include: a plurality of user equipments 110 and a plurality of base stations 120.

[0096] Among them, the user equipment 110 can be a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to the user. The user equipment 110 can communicate with one or more core networks via a Radio Access Network (RAN). The user equipment 110 can be an Internet of Things (IoT) user equipment, such as a sensor device, a mobile phone (or referred to as a "cellular" phone), and a computer with an IoT user equipment. For example, it can be a fixed, portable, pocket-sized, handheld, computer-integrated, or vehicle-mounted device. For example, a Station (STA), a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a mobile, a remote station, an access point, a remote terminal, an access terminal, a user terminal, a user agent, a user device, or a user equipment. Or, the user equipment 110 can also be a device of an unmanned aerial vehicle.

Or, the wireless communication system can also be the next generation system of the 5G system. Among them, the access network in the 5G system can be called the NG-RAN (New Generation - Radio Access Network).

[0098] Among them, the base station 120 may be an evolved Node B (eNB) adopted in a 4G system. Alternatively, the base station 120 may also be a gNode B (gNB) with a centralized distributed architecture adopted in a 5G system. When the base station 120 adopts a centralized distributed architecture, it generally includes a central unit (CU) and at least two distributed units (DUs). The protocol stacks of the Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer, Radio Link Control (RLC) layer, and Media Access Control (MAC) layer are set in the central unit; the Physical (PHY) layer protocol stack is set in the distributed unit. The specific implementation manner of the base station 120 in the embodiments of the present disclosure is not limited.

[0104] As Figure 2 shown, in this embodiment, a paging processing method is provided, which is applied to a base station. The method includes:

[0105] Step S21: Send paging indication information carried by at least one bit to a User Equipment (UE);

[0106] Among them, the paging indication information is used to indicate the number of Physical Downlink Shared Channels (PDSCHs) scheduled by Downlink Control Information (DCI) to carry paging messages in a paging occasion (PO).

[0107] The base station described in the embodiments of the present disclosure is an interface device for a User Equipment to access the Internet. The base station may be various types of base stations, for example, a 3G base station, a 4G base station, a 5G base station, or other evolved base stations.

[0108] The User Equipment (UE) described in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be a mobile phone, a computer, a server, a transceiver device, a tablet device, or a medical device, etc.

[0109] In one embodiment, the resource location of the PDSCH scheduled to carry a paging message is indicated by DCI. If a DCI schedules multiple PDSCHs to carry paging messages, then the DCI will indicate the resource location of the first PDSCH, and the resource locations of other PDSCHs are derived according to the resource location of the first PDSCH and a predetermined resource allocation rule. Both the base station and the UE can know this resource allocation rule in advance.

[0110] In one embodiment, the paging indication information is used to indicate that the number of PDSCHs scheduled by a DCI is 1.

[0111] In another embodiment, the paging indication information is used to indicate that the number of PDSCHs scheduled by one DCI is multiple. Here, the multiple is 2 or more than 2.

[0112] Here, a paging message of a predetermined number of UEs is carried in one PDSCH. According to different communication protocols, the predetermined number may be different. For example, in the 5G NR protocol, the predetermined number here is 32. Another example is that in the 4G LTE protocol, the predetermined number here is 16.

[0113] In one embodiment, one PDSCH may include a paging record table; wherein, the paging record table carries the identification information of the paged UE and the paging message of the paged UE.

[0114] Thus, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the paging indication information indicates that one DCI schedules one PDSCH, it can adapt to the application scenario where the number of UEs to be paged is small. Thus, the application scenario where the number of UEs to be paged is small can also configure a relatively long paging cycle for the UEs, so that most of these UEs remain in the deep sleep state for most of the time, thereby improving the energy saving effect of the UEs.

[0115] Or, when the paging indication information indicates that one DCI schedules multiple PDSCHs; it can adapt to the scenario where the number of UEs to be paged is large. On the premise of ensuring sufficient paging capacity, a relatively long paging cycle is configured for the UEs, so that most of the UEs remain in the deep sleep state for most of the time, thereby greatly improving the energy saving effect of the UEs.

[0116] Here, the at least one bit includes one bit or multiple bits. Here, the multiple bits are 2 or more than 2 bits.

[0117] For example, if it is indicated that the number of PDSCHs scheduled by one DCI is 1, it can be indicated by 1 bit "0"; if it is indicated that the number of PDSCHs scheduled by 1 DCI is 2, it can be indicated by 1 bit "1".

[0118] Another example is that if it is indicated that the number of PDSCHs scheduled by one DCI is 2, it can be indicated by 2 bits "10"; if it is indicated that the number of PDSCHs scheduled by one DCI is 3, it can be indicated by 2 bits "11"; and so on.

[0119] Thus, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the number of PDSCHs scheduled by DCI can be indicated based on one or a relatively small number of bits, so that relatively few bit data can be transmitted, and resource waste can be minimized as much as possible.

[0120] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, paging indication information may be carried by at least one bit and sent to the UE, so that the UE can know in advance the number of PDSCHs that can be scheduled by the DCI; thereby enabling the UE to know in which PDSCHs the paging message needs to be received based on the number of PDSCHs and the first PDSCH actually monitored.

[0121] Moreover, since only one paging indication information is sent by the base station to inform the UE in which PDSCHs the paging message is received, the implementation is relatively simple.

[0122] In some embodiments, step S21 includes:

[0123] Sending the DCI containing the paging indication information to the UE, where at least one bit of the DCI carries the paging indication information.

[0124] Here, the DCI is a DCI for paging scheduling. For example, in one embodiment, the DCI is a DCI scrambled with a paging radio network temporary identity (P-RNTI).

[0125] In one embodiment, if the DCI is DCI 1-0, and the paging indication information is carried in the reserved bits of the DCI 1-0.

[0126] Here, the reserved bits in DCI1-0 for paging include the following two cases: 1) The last information field in DCI 1-0 reserves 6 bits; 2) In the current protocol version, in DCI 1-0, regardless of whether there is a short message, the last 3-8 bits of the 8 bits in the short message information field are reserved. For example, the 3rd bit of the last information field of the DCI 1-0 carries the paging indication information; or the 4th to 5th bits of the short message information field of the DCI1-0 carry the paging indication information.

[0127] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the indication information may be carried based on the reserved bits in the DCI. On the one hand, the compatibility of the DCI can be improved, so that while the DCI indicates the paging message in the scheduled PDSCH, it can also specifically indicate how many PDSCH paging messages are scheduled.

[0128] On the other hand, since the number of scheduled PDSCHs can be indicated by the DCI for paging scheduling, there is no need to use additional signaling or information to carry the paging indication information indicating the PDSCH; thus, the interaction of information can be further reduced, and the waste of resources can be reduced.

[0129] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0130] Broadcasting a system message including the maximum number of the PDSCHs allowed to be scheduled by the DCI;

[0131] Wherein, the number of the PDSCHs scheduled by the DCI indicated by the paging indication information is less than or equal to the maximum number.

[0132] For example, in an application scenario, the base station may first broadcast a system message, and the system message carries that the number of the PDSCHs allowed to be scheduled by the DCI is 8; then, a DCI is sent to the UE, wherein the paging indication information carried in the DCI indicates that the number of the scheduled PDSCHs is 5.

[0133] Thus, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, a system message allowing the maximum number of the PDSCHs to be scheduled by a DCI may be broadcast first, and a paging indication information corresponding to the actual number of the PDSCHs scheduled by the DCI for different paging occasions is sent.

[0134] Moreover, the maximum number carried by the system message may also inform the UE of the number of bits of the subsequent DCI to be listened; for example, when the maximum number is 8, it may inform the UE that the number of bits of the subsequent DCI to be listened is 3 bits; another example, when the maximum number is 4, it may inform the UE that the number of bits of the subsequent DCI to be listened is 2 bits.

[0135] In some embodiments, the step S21 includes:

[0136] Broadcasting a system message including the paging indication information carried by at least one bit.

[0137] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, a system message may be broadcast in advance to notify the UE of the paging indication information. In this way, for multiple paged UEs, notification can be made only by broadcasting a system message once; thus, the signaling overhead can also be greatly saved.

[0138] Here, after the step S21, a DCI for paging scheduling may also be sent. For example, in some embodiments, the method further includes: after broadcasting the system message, sending a DCI for paging scheduling to the UE. Thus, in this embodiment, when the UE receives the DCI for paging scheduling, it can learn the number of PDSCHs scheduled by the paging DCI through the paging indication information carried in the broadcast system message.

[0139] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in addition to being carried in the DCI and sent to the UE, or carried in the system message and sent to the UE in a broadcast manner, the paging indication information may also be specified in the protocol.

[0140] For example, in some embodiments, the paging indication information may be specified in the protocol. Thus, in this embodiment, the base station or the UE can query the protocol to know the number of PDSCHs indicated by the paging indication information for a DCI scheduling. Thus, the UE can know the number of PDSCHs scheduled by the DCI without sending any signaling or information of the paging indication message; thereby further reducing the signaling interaction, further reducing the signaling overhead, and saving system resources.

[0141] As Figure 3 shown, the method further includes:

[0142] Step S22: Receive the paging capability information of the UE, where the paging capability information is used to indicate the number of PDSCHs that the UE supports monitoring in a paging occasion (PO).

[0143] Here, the UE includes: a first type of UE, or a second type of UE.

[0144] In one embodiment, the paging capability of the first type of UE is to support monitoring only one PDSCH in a PO; the paging capability of the second type of UE is to support monitoring multiple PDSCHs in a PO.

[0145] Thus, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, if the UE is the first type of UE, regardless of the number of PDSCHs, it only monitors the first PDSCH scheduled in the paging to obtain the paging message of the UE to be paged based on this PDSCH. And when it receives the DCI or the system message, it will directly ignore the paging indication message carried in the DCI or the system message and will not perform corresponding operations because of the paging indication message carried by at least one bit.

[0146] Alternatively, if the UE is a type-II UE, when the paging indication information is used to indicate one PDSCH, the UE will monitor one PDSCH; when the paging indication information is used to indicate M PDSCHs, it will monitor the M PDSCHs; where M is a natural number greater than or equal to 2. Therefore, when the UE is a type-II UE, it can monitor the number of PDSCHs indicated in the paging indication information to obtain the paging message to be received.

[0147] In some embodiments, receiving the paging capability information of the UE includes:

[0148] Receiving the paging capability information of the UE sent by the UE or the core network.

[0149] Here, when the UE is in the Radio Resource Control (RRC) connected state, the UE will send the paging capability information of the UE to the base station or the core network.

[0150] Thus, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the UE is in the RRC connected state, the base station can directly obtain the paging capability information of the UE from the UE, thereby improving the accuracy of obtaining the paging capability information.

[0151] Alternatively, if the UE is in the RRC inactive state or the RRC idle state, the base station can also obtain the paging capability information of the UE pre-stored in the core network.

[0152] Of course, in other embodiments, when the UE is in the RRC connected state, the base station can also obtain the paging capability information of the UE from the core network.

[0153] In one embodiment, step S21 further includes:

[0154] Based on the paging capability information, sending paging indication information carried by at least one bit to the UE.

[0155] Thus, in this embodiment, it is also possible to determine the bearing position of the paging information of the UE according to the paging capability information of the paged UE. For example, for a UE whose paging capability is to support monitoring only one PDSCH in one PO, its paging information will be carried on the first PDSCH scheduled by the paging DCI. Another example is that for a UE whose paging capability is to support monitoring M PDSCHs in one PO, its paging information can be carried on any one of the M PDSCHs scheduled by the paging DCI. In this way, the paging information of UEs with different paging capabilities can be carried on appropriate PDSCHs to ensure that UEs with different paging capabilities can all detect the paging information of this UE.

[0156] Please refer to again Figure 3 , in some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0157] Step S23: In response to the UE supporting monitoring M PDSCHs in one PO, on any one of the N PDSCHs scheduled by the DCI, send a paging message for the paged UE;

[0158] Wherein, both M and N are positive integers greater than or equal to 2, and N is less than or equal to M.

[0159] Here, if the UE supports monitoring M PDSCHs in one PO, paging indication information for scheduling N PDSCHs by one DCI can be configured for the UE; wherein, N is less than M. In this way, it can be ensured that the number of PDSCHs monitored by the UE is always within the paging capability range, thereby reducing the situation where the corresponding paging message cannot be paged due to exceeding its paging capability range.

[0160] Here, if the paging indication information is used to indicate that the number of PDSCHs scheduled by one DCI is N, the paging message for the paged UE can be configured on any one of the N PDSCHs. In this way, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, multiple ways of carrying the paging message for the paged UE can be provided.

[0161] Please refer to again Figure 3 , in some other embodiments, the method further includes:

[0162] Step S24: In response to the UE only supporting monitoring one PDSCH in one PO, on the first PDSCH scheduled by the DCI, send a paging message for the paged UE.

[0163] Here, if the UE supports monitoring only one PDSCH in one PO, a paging indication message for scheduling one PDSCH by one DCI can be configured for the UE; and, the paging message for the paged UE is carried in the one PDSCH.

[0164] In this way, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the UE can obtain the paging message for the paged UE from the first PDSCH to determine whether it is paged.

[0165] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0166] Group the UEs and determine the correspondence between the UE groups and the PDSCHs. For example, one UE group can correspond to one or more PDSCHs.

[0167] As shown Figure 4 In some embodiments, it further includes:

[0168] Step S25: According to the correspondence between the UE groups and the PDSCH, send the paging message of the paging UE on the PDSCH corresponding to the UE group where the paging UE is located.

[0169] In one embodiment, the number of UE groups is less than or equal to the number of PDSCHs. Here, the number of PDSCHs is the number of PDSCHs scheduled by one DCI.

[0170] For example, in an application scenario, if the number of PDSCHs scheduled by one DCI indicated in the paging indication information is 2. The paging information of the UE whose UE ID belongs to group 1 is on the first PDSCH, and the paging information of the UE whose UE ID belongs to group 2 is on the second PDSCH. The grouping method can be diverse. For example, if the UE ID is 48 bits in total, then the UE with the UE ID in the numerical range of 0 to (2 47 -1) is in the first group, and the UE with the UE ID in the numerical range of 2 47 to (2 48 -1) is in the second group.

[0171] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, sending the paging message of the paging UE on the PDSCH corresponding to the UE group where the paging UE is located can enable the UE to only monitor the corresponding PDSCH when monitoring the PDSCH; thus, the resource consumption of the UE can be greatly reduced.

[0172] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0173] Send the correspondence between the UE groups and the PDSCH to the UE by means of broadcasting.

[0174] In this way, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the UE can know in advance the UE group where its own UE is located and the corresponding PDSCH of its UE group, so that the UE knows which PDSCH or PDSCHs it should receive paging resources in.

[0175] In other embodiments, the UE groups can be specified in the protocol, or the correspondence between the UE groups and the PDSCH can be specified in the protocol.

[0176] Thus, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the UE can know in advance the UE group where the UE itself is located, or the PDSCH corresponding to the UE group where the UE is located. On the premise that the UE can know in which PDSCH to receive the paging resources, the signaling overhead can be further reduced, and there is no need to notify the UE of the group where it is located or the PDSCH corresponding to its UE group through signaling.

[0177] It should be noted here that the following paging processing method is applied to the user equipment and is similar to the description of the paging processing method applied to the base station above.
