Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of communication technologies, and particularly relates to a method and apparatus for monitoring paging messages, a terminal, and a readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] After the introduction of multi-beams and early indication signals in the NR (New Radio) system, since the length of the existing Paging Time Window (PTW) is configured according to the network, the scenario where there are multiple monitor occasions (MOs) for a single Paging Occasion (PO) in the multi-beam scenario is not considered. Also, in the case where the terminal misses a certain early indication signal, if the terminal continues to use the current mechanism, it may miss some MOs, resulting in the terminal possibly missing paging messages. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The objective of the embodiments of this application is to provide a method and apparatus for monitoring paging messages, a terminal, and a readable storage medium, which can solve the problem of low efficiency in monitoring paging messages in the prior art after the introduction of multi-beams and early indication signals.

[0004] To solve the above technical problem, this application is implemented as follows:

[0005] In a first aspect, a method for monitoring paging messages, applied to a terminal, is provided, including: determining a monitoring range; monitoring paging messages within the monitoring range according to PF and Paging Occasion (PO) until the end of the monitoring range or a paging message is monitored; where the monitoring range includes at least one of the following: a first sub-monitoring range, a second sub-monitoring range; the start time of the first sub-monitoring range is the first radio frame within the paging superframe in the first Paging Time Window (PTW), and the end time of the first PTW is the end of the last PF in the first PTW or the end of the last PO in the first PTW or the end of the monitoring occasion (MO) of the last PO; the second sub-monitoring range is one or more non-consecutive Discontinuous Reception (DRX) cycles within the second PTW.

[0006] In a second aspect, a paging message monitoring device is provided, including: a determination module for determining a monitoring range; a first monitoring module for monitoring paging messages within the monitoring range according to PF and PO until the end of the monitoring range or a paging message is monitored; wherein, the monitoring range includes at least one of the following: a first sub-monitoring range, a second sub-monitoring range; the start time of the first sub-monitoring range is the first radio frame within the paging superframe within the first paging time window PTW, and the end time of the first PTW is the end of the last PF within the first PTW or the end of the last PO within the first PTW or the end of the monitoring opportunity MO of the last PO; the second sub-monitoring range is one or more discontinuous reception DRX cycles within the second PTW.

[0007] In a third aspect, a terminal is provided, which includes a processor, a memory, and a program or instruction stored on the memory and executable on the processor.

[0016] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0017] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, rather than to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first" and "second" are generally of the same type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims means at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally means an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after.

[0018] First, a corresponding introduction to eDRX involved in the embodiments of the present application will be given.

[0019] In the idle state, the maximum DRX cycle of Legacy LTE is 2.56 s, and frequent wake-up will consume the power of the UE. To reduce power consumption and extend the standby time, in Release 13, the eDRX (Extended idle-mode DRX cycle) mode was introduced.

[0020] The concept of Hyper-SFN is introduced below. In Legacy LTE, the time unit for synchronization between the UE and the eNodeB is the System Frame Number - SFN. One SFN is 10 ms, and the SFN value range is 0 - 5023. When the SFN reaches 5023, it starts from 0 again. The maximum period of the SFN is 5024 SFNs = 50240 ms = 10.24 s. Therefore, in legacy LTE, some periods (such as the paging period and the Connected DRX period) are smaller than 10.24 s. To achieve power saving, obviously 10.24 s cannot meet the requirement of the paging period. At this time, the concept of the hyperframe H-SFN is introduced. One H-SFN corresponds to 5024 SFNs, that is, one hyperframe is equal to 10.24 s. The H-SFN value range is 0 - 5023, and the maximum period of the H-SFN is 5024 H-SFNs, corresponding to 2.9127 hours (5024 * 10.24 s / 60 / 60 = 2.9127).

[0021] Previously, when introducing Paging (paging time-frequency resources), the time when the UE reads Paging is represented by (PF, PO), corresponding to (SFN, subframe). After introducing eDRX, the time when the UE reads Paging is represented by (PH, PF, PO). The following details how to calculate it.

[0022] After introducing eDRX, several concepts are introduced first:

[0023] PH: Paging Hyperframe, that is, the hyperframe number where the paging message is located, with the unit of H-SFN

[0024] PTW: Paging Time Window, the paging time window, and the SFN range within PH is [PTW_start, PTW_stop]

[0025] PTW_start: The starting position of PTW, with the unit of SFN

[0026] PTW_stop: The ending position of PTW, with the unit of SFN

[0027] 1. The H-SFN where PH is located satisfies the following formula:

[0028] H-SFN mod T eDRX ,H = (UE_ID_H mod T eDRX,H ),

[0029] where UE_ID_H: the 12 most significant bits of the hash ID; T eDRX,H:The period of eDRX, unit: H-SFN, is specified by the upper layer message, and the value range is {2, 4, 6, …, 5024}.

[0030] 2. The SFN where PTW_start is located satisfies: SFN = 256 * i eDRX , where i eDRX = floor(UE_ID_H / T eDRX,H ) mod 4.

[0031] 3. The SFN where PTW_end is located satisfies: SFN = (PTW_start + L * 100 - 1) mod 1024

[0032] Parameter parsing is as follows:

[0033] L: Paging Time window length (unit: second), which is configured by the upper layer message.

[0034] After introducing eDRX, the timing for the UE to read Paging is represented by (PH, PF, PO), or more precisely (PH, PTW(PF, PO)). First, calculate PH, and the PTW window is located on PH. Then calculate PTW_start and PTW_end to obtain the specific position of PTW on PH. During the PTW window, detect paging messages according to the traditional DRX mode (PF, PO). That is to say, within PTW, the calculation formulas for PF / PO are the same as those for non-eDRX.

[0035] It should be noted that the technology described in the embodiments of this application is not limited to Long Term Evolution (LTE) / LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) systems, and can also be used in other wireless communication systems, such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), Single-carrier Frequency-Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA), and other systems. The terms "system" and "network" in the embodiments of this application are often used interchangeably, and the described technology can be used in the above-mentioned systems and radio technologies, as well as in other systems and radio technologies. However, the following description describes the New Radio (NR) system for example purposes, and the NR term is used in most of the following descriptions, although these technologies can also be applied to applications other than NR system applications, such as the 6th Generation (6 th Generation, 6G) communication system.

[0036] Figure 1A block diagram of a wireless communication system to which embodiments of the present application can be applied is shown. The wireless communication system includes a terminal 11 and a network-side device 12. Among them, the terminal 11 can also be referred to as a terminal device or a user terminal (User Equipment, UE). The terminal 11 can be a mobile phone, a tablet personal computer, a laptop computer or a notebook computer, a personal digital assistant (Personal Digital Assistant, PDA), a handheld computer, a netbook, an ultra-mobile personal computer (ultra-mobile personal computer, UMPC), a mobile Internet device (Mobile Internet Device, MID), a wearable device or a vehicle-mounted device (VUE), a pedestrian terminal (PUE), etc. Terminal-side devices. Wearable devices include: bracelets, earphones, glasses, etc. It should be noted that the specific type of the terminal 11 is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. The network-side device 12 can be a base station or a core network. Among them, the base station can be referred to as Node B, evolved Node B, access point, base transceiver station (Base Transceiver Station, BTS), radio base station, radio transceiver, basic service set (Basic Service Set, BSS), extended service set (Extended Service Set, ESS), B node, evolved B node (eNB), home B node, home evolved B node, WLAN access point, WiFi node, transmitting and receiving point (Transmitting Receiving Point, TRP) or some other suitable term in the art. As long as the same technical effect is achieved, the base station is not limited to specific technical terms. It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, only the base station in the NR system is taken as an example, but the specific type of the base station is not limited.

[0037] The method for monitoring paging messages provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0038] The embodiments of the present application provide a method for monitoring paging messages, and this method is applied to a terminal. Figure 2 It is a flowchart of the method for monitoring paging messages according to the embodiments of the present application. As Figure 2 shown, the steps of this method include:

[0039] Step S202, determine the monitoring range;

[0040] Step S204, within the listening range, listen for paging messages according to the paging frame PF and PO until the listening range ends or a paging message is detected;

[0041] Among them, the listening range includes at least one of the following: the first sub-listening range, the second sub-listening range; the start time of the first sub-listening range is the first radio frame within the paging superframe within the first paging time window PTW, and the end time of the first PTW is the end of the last PF within the first PTW or the end of the last PO within the first PTW or the end of the monitoring opportunity MO of the last PO; the second sub-listening range is one or more discontinuous receive DRX (Discontinuous Receive) cycles within the second PTW.

[0042] Through the above steps S202 and S204, paging messages can be listened for according to PF and PO within the first sub-listening range and / or the second sub-listening range. Since the end time of the first PTW is the end of the last PF within the first PTW or the end of the last PO within the first PTW or the end of the monitoring opportunity MO of the last PO, it is ensured that in a multi-beam scenario, even if there are multiple MOs for one PO, the paging message can be detected as soon as possible; and listening within the second sub-listening range, that is, listening within one or more discontinuous receive DRX cycles within the second PTW, can also detect the paging message as early as possible, thus solving the problem of low efficiency in listening for paging messages in the prior art after introducing multi-beams and early indication signals.

[0043] Furthermore, it should be noted that the start time of the first sub-listening range is the first radio frame within the paging superframe within the first PTW and the radio frame number satisfies a preset correspondence relationship with the terminal identifier, and the end time is the end of the last PF within the first PTW or the end of the last PO within the first PTW or the end of the monitoring opportunity MO of the last PO, and the radio frame number satisfies a preset correspondence relationship with the terminal identifier. That is to say, the radio frame number in the embodiments of the present application satisfies a preset correspondence relationship with the terminal identifier.

[0044] Specifically, PTW_start (the start time of the first PTW) represents the first radio frame of the paging superframe PH within the PTW. It is a part of the PTW, and the SFN satisfies the following formula: the SFN where PTW_start is located satisfies: SFN = 256 * i eDRX , where, i eDRX = floor(UE_ID_H / T eDRX,H ) mod 4. It should be noted that the above values (such as 256, 4, etc.) are just examples of parameters, and other values can also be taken according to the DRX or eDRX cycle.

[0045] The end time of the first PTW (PTW_end) is the last PF of the PTW (or the last paging occasion, or the last MO of the last PO), and the SFN satisfies the following formula: SFN = (PTW_start + L * 100 - 1) mod 1024; where L is the length of the PTW (in seconds) and is configured by an upper layer message. It should be noted that the above values are only examples of a parameter, and other values can also be taken according to the DRX or eDRX cycle.

[0046] Furthermore, it should be noted that the above end time refers to the end of the last PF of the first PTW or the end of the last PO of the first PTW or the end of the MO of the last PO, which means:

[0047] The end of the last PF corresponding to the first PTW or the end of the last PO of the first PTW or the end of the MO of the last PO (the last paging frame or last paging occasion, or last MO of the PO of the PTW); or further, and the radio frame number satisfies a preset correspondence with the terminal identifier;

[0048] Or, the end of the last PF within the first PTW or the end of the last PO of the first PTW or the end of the MO of the last PO (the last paging frame or last paging occasion, or last MO of the PO in the PTW); or further, and the radio frame number satisfies a preset correspondence with the terminal identifier;

[0049] Or, the end of the last PF or the end of the last PO of the first PTW or the end of the MO of the last PO; or further, and the radio frame number satisfies a preset correspondence with the terminal identifier, (the last paging frame or last paging occasion, or last MO of the PO and the SFN satisfying the equation);

[0050] The specific correspondence is as described above and will not be elaborated here.

[0051] In addition, in an alternative implementation of the embodiments of the present application, when the monitoring range includes the first sub-monitoring range or the second sub-monitoring range, the first PTW is different from the second PTW; when the monitoring range includes the first sub-monitoring range and the second sub-monitoring range, the first PTW is the same as the second PTW.

[0052] For the case where the listening range includes both the first sub - listening range and the second sub - listening range, that is, after adopting the PTW defined by the first sub - listening range, the paging monitoring is further performed using the defined second sub - listening range. Specifically, the terminal monitors paging messages within one or more discontinuous reception DRX cycles within the defined PTW (the first PTW). Among them, the start time of the defined PTW is the first radio frame within the paging superframe within the PTW; the end time of the defined PTW is the end of the last PF within the PTW or the end of the last PO within the PTW or the end of the MO of the last PO; in addition, one or more discontinuous reception DRX cycles within the defined PTW can include multiple optional manners, which will be introduced in detail below.

[0053] In an alternative implementation manner of the embodiments of the present application, when the network - side device configures an early indication signal, the manner of monitoring paging messages according to PF and PO within the listening range in step S204 can further include:

[0054] Step S202 - 11, when receiving an early indication signal and the early indication signal indicates that paging messages need to be monitored, monitor paging messages according to PF and PO within the second sub - listening range, where the early indication signal is used to indicate the terminal to monitor paging messages or start the DRX activation timer; or,

[0055] Step S202 - 12, when not receiving an early indication signal and the network - side device indicates that paging messages need to be monitored, monitor paging messages according to PF and PO within the second sub - listening range, where the indication of the network - side device is used to indicate the terminal to monitor paging messages or start the DRX activation timer.

[0056] It can be seen from the above steps S202 - 11 and S202 - 12 that the network - side device configures an early indication signal. If the terminal receives this early indication signal, it can monitor paging messages according to PF and PO within the second sub - listening range. Or, even if it does not receive the early indication signal, but the network - side device indicates that paging messages need to be monitored, it can also monitor paging messages according to PF and PO within the second sub - listening range. That is to say, even if the terminal misses the early indication signal, it can still monitor paging messages, thus avoiding missing the monitoring of paging messages due to missing the early indication signal.

[0057] It should be noted that when the network - side device configures an early indication signal, the terminal can monitor the early indication signal within the second PTW range.

[0058] In an alternative implementation manner of the embodiments of the present application, the second sub - listening range in the embodiments of the present application can include at least one of the following:

[0059] 1) N DRX cycles within the second PTW, where N is an integer greater than 1;

[0060] 2) One or more POs after a preset interval from the position of the listen - ahead indication signal;

[0061] 3) Ending from the PO at the preset interval from the position of the listen - ahead indication signal to the last PF in the Nth DRX cycle within the second PTW;

[0062] 4) Ending from the PO at the preset interval from the position of the listen - ahead indication signal to the last PO in the Nth DRX cycle within the second PTW, or to the end of the MO of the last PO;

[0063] 5) Ending from the PO at the preset interval from the position of the listen - ahead indication signal to the last PF within the Nth DRX cycle in the second PTW;

[0064] 6) All paging messages within the second PTW (corresponding to N = eDRX cycle / DRX cycle, that is, how many DRX cycles are within the eDRX range);

[0065] Among them, the method 6) is a specific description of N in method 1).

[0066] 7) From the preset interval from the position of the listen - ahead indication signal to the position of the next listen - ahead indication signal;

[0067] 8) The first target range, where the range with the longest duration is selected as the first target range from the comparison results of the first sub - target range or the second sub - target range and the third sub - target range; the first sub - target range is from the PO at the preset interval from the position of the listen - ahead indication signal to the last PF in the Nth DRX cycle within the second PTW; the second sub - target range is from the PO at the preset interval from the position of the listen - ahead indication signal to the last PO in the Nth DRX cycle within the second PTW, or to the end of the MO of the last PO; the third sub - target range is from the PO at the preset interval from the position of the listen - ahead indication signal to the end of the second PTW;

[0068] 9) The current DRX cycle corresponding to the PO at the preset interval from the position of the listen - ahead indication signal;

[0069] 10) Ending from the PO at the preset interval from the position of the listen - ahead indication signal to the last PF in the current DRX cycle;

[0070] 11) From the PO at a preset interval from the position of the listening advance indication signal to the end of the last PO of the current DRX cycle, or the end of the MO of the last PO, or the next advance indication signal;

[0071] 12) A second target range, where the range with the longest duration is selected as the second target range from the comparison results of the fourth sub-target range or the fifth sub-target range or the sixth sub-target range and the seventh sub-target range; the fourth sub-target range is from the PO at a preset interval from the position of the listening advance indication signal to the end of the last PF of the current DRX cycle within the second PTW; the fifth sub-target range is from the PO at a preset interval from the position of the listening advance indication signal to the end of the last PO of the current DRX cycle within the second PTW, or the end of the MO of the last PO; the sixth sub-target range is from the PO at a preset interval from the position of the listening advance indication signal to the PO at a preset interval from the position of the next advance indication signal; the seventh sub-target range is from the PO at a preset interval from the position of the listening advance indication signal to the end of the second PTW;

[0072] 13) From the PO at a preset interval from the position of the listening advance indication signal to the end of the last PF of the last DRX cycle within the second PTW, or from the PO at a preset interval from the position of the listening advance indication signal to the end of the last PO of the last DRX cycle within the second PTW, or the end of the MO of the last PO;

[0073] 14) A third target range, where the range with the longest duration is selected as the third target range from the comparison results of the eighth sub-target range or the ninth sub-target range and the tenth sub-target range; the eighth sub-target range is from the PO at a preset interval from the position of the listening advance indication signal to the end of the last PF of the last DRX cycle within the second PTW; the ninth sub-target range is from the PO at a preset interval from the position of the listening advance indication signal to the end of the last PO of the last DRX cycle within the second PTW, or the end of the MO of the last PO; the tenth sub-target range is from the PO at a preset interval from the position of the listening advance indication signal to the end of the second PTW.

[0074] It should be noted that the preset interval Offset in the above 1) to 14) is network-configured or pre-defined by the protocol. Offset equal to 0 means from the current moment, offset = 1 means from the next moment, and offset > 1 means an interval.

[0075] In another optional implementation manner of the embodiments of the present application, in the case where the network-side device does not configure an advance prompt signal, listening for a paging message according to PF and PO within the listening range includes:

[0076] When the network - side device instructs the terminal to monitor paging messages, the paging messages are monitored according to PF and PO within the second sub - monitoring range.

[0077] When the network - side device does not configure an early - hint signal and needs to monitor paging messages, the second sub - monitoring range in the embodiments of the present application may include at least one of the following:

[0078] 1) The current DRX cycle corresponding to the moment when the monitoring operation starts;

[0079] 2) N DRX cycles within the second PTW, where N is an integer greater than 1;

[0080] 3) All paging messages within the second PTW;

[0081] 4) From the start of the monitoring operation to the end of the last PF or the end of the last PO within the current DRX cycle, or, the end of the MO of the last PO;

[0082] 5) The fourth target range, where the range with the longest duration is selected as the fourth target range from the comparison results of the eleventh sub - target range or the twelfth sub - target range and the thirteenth sub - target range; the eleventh sub - target range is from the start of the monitoring operation to the end of the last PF within the current DRX cycle; the twelfth sub - target range is from the start of the monitoring operation to the end of the last PO within the current DRX cycle, or, the end of the MO of the last PO; the thirteenth sub - target range is the end of the second PTW.

[0083] It can be seen that in the embodiments of the present application, whether an early - indication signal is configured or not, paging messages can be monitored according to PF and PO within the second sub - monitoring range, but the second sub - monitoring ranges are different.

[0084] Through the embodiments of the present application, by customizing the end time of PTW, it is ensured that in a multi - beam scenario where one PO has multiple MOs, paging messages can be monitored as soon as possible, and / or the monitoring method determined according to PTW can also ensure that the terminal can monitor paging messages as soon as possible while saving power. Moreover, the method of the embodiments of the present application can be applied to any scenario involving a multi - beam system or a paging message with multiple monitoring opportunities (MOs).

[0085] It should be noted that for the paging message monitoring method provided in the embodiments of the present application, the execution subject may be a paging message monitoring device, or a control module in the paging message monitoring device for executing the paging message monitoring method. In the embodiments of the present application, the paging message monitoring method is executed by the paging message monitoring device as an example to illustrate the paging message monitoring device provided in the embodiments of the present application.
