Abstract

The disclosure provides a discontinuous reception determination method and device, communication equipment and storage medium, and belongs to the technical field of wireless communication. The method comprises: sending DRX configuration information to a user equipment, wherein a specified period value contained in the configuration information is different from any default configurable period value of the DRX. Thus, whether to start a mechanism for terminating data retransmission is determined based on signal state information received in a continuous period. Thus, by using the DRX determination method, when the arrival time interval of any service data is different from each default configurable period value of the DRX, the network equipment indicates a specified period value matching the arrival time interval of the service data to the UE, so as to perform data transmission with the UE based on the specified period value, thereby minimizing the service data transmission delay and improving the quality and performance of the service.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of wireless communication, and particularly relates to a method and apparatus for determining discontinuous reception (DRX), a communication device and a storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] Typical video streams generate video frames in a periodic manner, and a typical video frame rate is 30 frames or 60 frames per second, that is, a video frame interval is 33.33 or 16.66 milliseconds (ms). Augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) services can provide video stream services to users, and have higher delay requirements (e.g., 5-10 ms) than traditional video stream services.

[0003] In related technologies, in a 5G system, in order to reduce power consumption of a user equipment (UE), a network side introduces a discontinuous reception (DRX) mechanism for uplink and downlink video services. For the DRX, the network side can configure a DRX cycle including 10 ms, 20 ms, 32 ms, 40 ms, 60 ms, 64 ms, 70 ms, 80 ms, 128 ms, 160 ms, 256 ms, and 320 ms. However, the existing DRX configuration cycle cannot match the frame interval (i.e., 33.33 ms and 16.66 ms) of the video service, so that when the configured DRX cycle cannot match the arrival time interval of the service, additional data transmission delay is generated. SUMMARY

[0010] In another embodiment of this disclosure, a computer storage medium is provided on which computer-executable instructions are stored; after being executed by a processor, the computer-executable instructions can implement the DRX determination method described above.

[0011] In another aspect of this disclosure, a computer program product is provided, comprising a computer program that, when executed by a processor in a communication device, implements the DRX determination method described in the above-described aspect of the embodiment.

The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with those of this disclosure.

[0032] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc., may be used to describe various information in embodiments of this disclosure, such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from one another. For example, first information may also be referred to as second information without departing from the scope of embodiments of this disclosure, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information. Depending on the context, the words “if” and “suppose” as used herein may be interpreted as “when”, “when”, or “in response to a determination”.

[0033] Embodiments of this disclosure are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting this disclosure.

[0034] This disclosure addresses the problem in related technologies where additional data transmission delay occurs when the configured DRX period cannot match the arrival time interval of the service, and proposes a method for determining DRX.

[0035] The DRX determination method provided in this disclosure allows the network device to indicate a specified period value that matches the arrival time interval of any service data to the UE when the arrival time interval of any service data is different from the default configurable period values ​​of the DRX. This allows the network device to transmit data with the UE based on the specified period value, thereby minimizing the latency of service data transmission and improving the quality and performance of service.

[0036] The method, apparatus, communication equipment, and storage medium for determining DRX provided in this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining DRX provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, applied to network devices such as base stations.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the method for determining the DRX includes the following steps:

[0039] Step 101: Send DRX configuration information to the UE, wherein the specified period value contained in the configuration information is different from any default configurable period value of DRX.

[0040] Optionally, the specified period value can be determined by the network device according to the protocol, or it can be determined according to the current business needs.

[0041] In addition, the above configuration information can be an RRC message or a PDCCH control signaling, and this disclosure does not limit it.

[0042] The specified period value can be any of the following period types: long period, short period, scheduling period, retransmission period, return period, and deactivation period.

[0043] Understandably, the default configurable period values ​​differ for different DRX period types. For example, for long DRX periods, the default configurable period values ​​can include: 10ms, 20ms, 32ms, 40ms, 60ms, 64ms, 70ms, 80ms, 128ms, 160ms, 256ms, and 320ms. For short DRX periods, the default configurable period values ​​can include: 2ms, 3ms, 4ms, 5ms, 6ms, 7ms, 8ms, 10ms, 14ms, 16ms, 20ms, 30ms, 32ms, 35ms, 40ms, 64ms, 80ms, 128ms, 160ms, 256ms, 320ms, 512ms, and 640ms.

[0044] Optionally, in this disclosure, the network device may determine a specified period value based on the arrival time interval of any service data when it is determined that the arrival time interval of any service data is different from each default configurable period value.

[0045] For example, AR or VR services can provide users with video streaming services. Typical video frame rates are 30 or 60 frames per second, meaning the video frame arrival time interval is 33.33ms or 16.66ms. This arrival time interval differs from the default configurable period value of DRX (10ms, 20ms, etc.). Therefore, the network device in this disclosure can determine the current specified period value of DRX based on the arrival time interval of the video service and send this specified period value to the UE, thereby enabling uplink and downlink data transmission with the UE based on this specified period value.

[0046] Optionally, the specified period value can include different content as needed, such as a first period value, which can be a millisecond value, the number of sub-milliseconds, or the number of OFDM symbols.

[0047] Here, sub-millisecond is a new unit of time measurement proposed in this disclosure, designed to more accurately represent a specified period value, making the specified period value as close as possible to the arrival time interval of business data. It should be noted that sub-millisecond can be a unit of time measurement less than milliseconds, and the specific time length corresponding to sub-millisecond can be determined according to actual needs; this disclosure does not limit this aspect.

[0048] Optionally, the specified period value may also include a combination of a first period value and a second period value, wherein the first period value may be a millisecond value or the number of symbols, and the second period value may also be a millisecond value, the number of symbols, or the number of sub-milliseconds, etc., which are not limited in this disclosure.

[0049] Optionally, the specified period value may also include a combination of a first period value, a second period value, and a third period value, wherein the first period value may be a millisecond value, the second period value may also be a millisecond value, and the third period value may be the number of symbols or the number of sub-milliseconds, etc., which are not limited in this disclosure.

[0050] To support a wider range of applications, various subcarrier spacings (SCS) may be configured in wireless communication systems. As shown in Table 1 below, different SCSs and cyclic prefixes (CP) correspond to different resource allocation information:

[0051] Table 1

[0052]

[0053] It is understood that each element and each correspondence in Table 1 exists independently; these elements and correspondences are listed in the same table as an example, but this does not mean that all elements and correspondences in the table must exist simultaneously as shown in Table 1. The value of each element and each correspondence is independent of any other element value or correspondence in Table 1. Therefore, those skilled in the art will understand that the value of each element and each correspondence in Table 1 is an independent embodiment.

[0054] As one possible implementation, when determining a specified period value, the network device can determine the specified period value under each SCS based on the resource allocation information corresponding to different SCSs, that is, determine the number of symbols, milliseconds and / or sub-milliseconds contained in the specified period value under each SCS.

[0055] As another possible implementation, when determining a specified period value, the network device can also determine the specified period value for each SCS based on the specified period value under the specified SCS. Specifically, the network device can determine the specified period value under the specified SCS based on the resource allocation information corresponding to the specified SCS, and then determine the specified period values ​​under other SCSs based on the relationship between the resource allocation information corresponding to the specified SCS and the resource allocation information corresponding to other SCSs, as well as the specified period value under the specified SCS.

[0056] The DRX determination method of this disclosure sets a specified period value for the DRX to transmit data with the UE based on a period value that matches as closely as possible to the arrival time interval of the service data to be transmitted, thereby minimizing service data transmission latency and improving the quality and performance of service.

[0057] The following is combined Figure 2 The present disclosure provides a further explanation of another method for determining DRX.

[0058] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating another method for determining DRX provided in an embodiment of this disclosure, applied to network devices such as base stations.

[0059] like Figure 2 As shown, the method for determining the DRX includes the following steps:

[0060] Step 201: In response to the fact that the arrival time interval of any service data is different from any default configurable period value, any default configurable period value that is less than the arrival time interval of any service data is determined as the millisecond value m corresponding to the first period value contained within the specified period value.

[0061] Where m is a positive integer.

[0062] As one possible implementation, when the specified period value is a combination of the first period value and the second period value, both the first period value and the second period value can be millisecond values.

[0063] Optionally, when determining the first period value, if multiple default configurable period values ​​are all less than the arrival time interval of any business data, any one of the multiple default configurable period values ​​can be selected as the first period value; or, the default configurable period value with the smallest difference from the arrival time interval of any business data can be selected as the first period value.

[0064] For example, if the arrival time interval of any service data is 16.66ms, then for the DRX long period, when determining the specified period value under each SPS, since the default configurable period value less than 16.66ms is 10ms, the first period value can be determined to be 10ms.

[0065] Alternatively, if the arrival time interval of any service data is 33.33ms, then for the DRX long period, when determining the specified period value under each SPS, the default configurable period values ​​less than 33.33ms are 10ms, 20ms, and 32ms. Therefore, it can be determined that the first period value can be 10ms, 20ms, or 32ms. Or, since the difference between 32ms and 33.33ms is the smallest, it can be determined that the first period value can be 32ms.

[0066] Step 202: Determine the first difference between the arrival time interval of any business data and m as the millisecond value corresponding to the second period value contained within the specified period value.

[0067] Optionally, when the specified period value is a combination of the first period value and the second period value, and both the first period value and the second period value can be millisecond values, the first difference between the arrival time interval of any business data and m can be determined as the millisecond value corresponding to the second period value.

[0068] For example, if the arrival time interval of business data is 16.66ms, and the first period value contained within the specified period value is 10ms, then the first difference is 6.66ms, which can be used to determine that the second period value contained within the specified period value under each SCS is 6.66ms.

[0069] For example, if the arrival time interval of business data is 33.33ms, and the first period value contained within the specified period value is 32ms, then the first difference is 1.33ms, which can be used to determine that the second period value contained within the specified period value of each SCS is 1.33ms.

[0070] Step 203: Send DRX configuration information to the UE, wherein the specified period value contained in the configuration information is different from any default configurable period value of DRX.

[0071] In the embodiments of this disclosure, step 203 can be implemented in any of the ways described in the various embodiments of this disclosure. This disclosure does not limit this and will not elaborate further.

[0072] The DRX determination method provided in this disclosure allows the network device to indicate a specified period value that matches the arrival time interval of any service data to the UE when the arrival time interval of any service data is different from the default configurable period values ​​of the DRX. This allows the network device to transmit data with the UE based on the specified period value, thereby minimizing the latency of service data transmission and improving the quality and performance of service.

[0073] The following is combined Figure 3 The present disclosure provides another method for determining DRX.

[0074] Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating another method for determining DRX provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, applied to a network device.

[0075] like Figure 3 As shown, the method for determining the DRX includes the following steps:

[0076] Step 301: In response to the fact that the arrival time interval of any service data is different from any default configurable period value, determine the millisecond value m corresponding to the first period value included in the specified period value, which is less than the duration corresponding to any default configurable period value of the arrival time interval of any service data.

[0077] Step 302: Determine the first difference between the arrival time interval of any business data and m.

[0078] In the embodiments of this disclosure, steps 301-302 can be implemented in any of the ways described in the various embodiments of this disclosure. This disclosure does not limit these methods and will not elaborate further.

[0079] Step 303: The quotient of the first difference and the specified reference coefficient is determined as the number of sub-milliseconds corresponding to the second period value contained within the specified period value.

[0080] The specified reference coefficient can be 1 / a. It should be noted that the specific value of 'a' can be determined according to specific needs, and this embodiment does not limit this. For example, 'a' can be 32, meaning the specified reference coefficient is 1 / 32.

[0081] As one possible implementation, when the specified period value is a combination of a first period value and a second period value, the first period value can be a millisecond value, and the second period value can be a number of sub-milliseconds. Therefore, the number of sub-milliseconds corresponding to the second period value can be determined by the quotient of the first difference between the arrival time interval of any business data and m and a specified reference coefficient.

[0082] For example, the arrival time interval of business data is 16.66ms, the specified reference coefficient is 1 / 32, and for the DRX long period, the first period value contained in the specified period value under each SCS is 10ms. At this time, the first difference is 6.66ms, so it can be determined that the number of sub-milliseconds corresponding to the second period value contained in the specified period value under each SCS is 6.66 / (1 / 32) = 213.

[0083] For example, if the arrival time interval of business data is 33.33ms and the specified reference coefficient is 1 / 32, for the DRX long period, the first period value contained in the specified period value under each SCS is 32ms. At this time, the first difference is 1.33ms. Therefore, it can be determined that the number of sub-milliseconds corresponding to the second period value contained in the specified period value under each SCS is 1.33 / (1 / 32) = 43.

[0084] Optionally, if the quotient of the first difference and the specified reference coefficient is not an integer, the integer value of the quotient can be determined as the number of sub-milliseconds corresponding to the second period value contained within the specified period value. In this embodiment, the rounding can be rounding down, rounding up, or rounding to the nearest integer, etc.

[0085] Step 304: Send DRX configuration information to the UE, wherein the specified period value contained in the configuration information is different from any default configurable period value of DRX.

[0086] In the embodiments of this disclosure, step 304 can be implemented in any of the ways described in the various embodiments of this disclosure. This disclosure does not limit this and will not elaborate further.

[0087] The DRX determination method provided in this disclosure allows the network device to indicate a specified period value that matches the arrival time interval of any service data to the UE when the arrival time interval of any service data is different from the default configurable period values ​​of the DRX. This allows the network device to transmit data with the UE based on the specified period value, thereby minimizing the latency of service data transmission and improving the quality and performance of service.

[0088] The following is combined Figure 4 The present disclosure provides another method for determining DRX.

[0089] Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating another method for determining DRX provided in this embodiment of the disclosure, applied to a network device.

[0090] like Figure 4 As shown, the method for determining the DRX includes the following steps:

[0091] Step 401: In response to the fact that the arrival time interval of any service data is different from any default configurable period value, the duration corresponding to any default configurable period value that is less than the arrival time interval of any service data is determined as the millisecond value m corresponding to the first period value contained in the specified period value under each SCS.

[0092] Where m is a positive integer.

[0093] The time-domain resource allocation information for each SCS may include: the duration of each time slot and the duration of each symbol.

[0094] As one possible implementation, when the specified period value is a combination of the first period value and the second period value, the first period value can be a millisecond value and the second period value can be the number of symbols.

[0095] Optionally, when determining the first period value, if multiple default configurable resource periods are all less than the arrival time interval of any business data, any one of the multiple default configurable resource periods can be selected, or the default configurable resource period with the smallest difference from the arrival time interval of any business data can be selected.

[0096] For example, if the arrival time interval of any service data is 16.66ms, then for a 15kHz SCS, when determining the specified period value corresponding to the SPS, since the default configurable period value less than 16.66ms is 10ms, the first period value can be determined to be 10ms.

[0097] Alternatively, if the arrival time interval of any service data is 33.33ms, then for a 15kHz SCS, when determining the specified period value corresponding to the SPS, the default configurable period values ​​less than 33.33ms are 10ms, 20ms, and 32ms. Therefore, it can be determined that the first period value can be 10ms, 20ms, or 32ms. Or, since the difference between 32ms and 33.33ms is the smallest, it can be determined that the first period value can be 32ms.

[0098] Step 402: Determine the first difference between the arrival time interval of any service data and m.

[0099] Step 403: Based on the first difference and the duration per symbol, determine the number of symbols corresponding to the second period value contained within the specified period value under each SCS.

[0100] Optionally, the number of symbols corresponding to the second period value contained within a specified period value under each SCS can be determined by taking the quotient of the first difference and the duration of each symbol under each SCS and rounding it down.

[0101] In this embodiment, rounding can be rounding down, rounding up, or rounding to the nearest integer, etc.

[0102] For example, if the arrival time interval of business data is 16.66ms, and the first period value within the specified period value for a 15kHz SCS is 10ms, then the first difference is 6.66ms. The quotient of this first difference and the duration per symbol (0.0714ms) corresponding to the 15kHz SCS is 93.277. Rounding 93.277 to the nearest integer, the number of symbols corresponding to the second period value within the specified period value for a 15kHz SCS is 93.

[0103] For example, if the arrival time interval of business data is 16.66ms, and the first period value within the specified resource for a 30kHz SCS is 10ms, then the first difference is 6.66ms. The quotient of this first difference and the duration per symbol (0.0357ms) corresponding to the 30kHz SCS is 186.555. Rounding 186.555 to the nearest integer, we get 187. Therefore, the number of symbols corresponding to the second period value within the specified period value for a 30kHz SCS is 187.

[0104] For services with data arrival intervals of 16.66ms (first period value is 10ms) and 33.33ms (first period value is 32ms), the value obtained by rounding the quotient of the first difference with the duration of each symbol under each SCS can be used to determine the configurable values ​​of the second period value under each SCS, as shown in Table 2 below:

[0105] Table 2

[0106]

[0107] It is understood that each element and each correspondence in Table 2 exists independently; these elements and correspondences are listed in the same table as an example, but this does not mean that all elements and correspondences in the table must exist simultaneously as shown in Table 2. The value of each element and each correspondence is independent of any other element value or correspondence in Table 2. Therefore, those skilled in the art will understand that the value of each element and each correspondence in Table 2 is an independent embodiment.

[0108] It should be noted that the quotient of the first difference and the symbol duration under each SCS, after being rounded down or up, can also be used to determine the second period value among the specified period values ​​under each SCS. The present disclosure does not limit the second period value mentioned above.

[0109] Optionally, as shown in Table 1, the duration of each symbol and the duration of each time slot corresponding to each SCS have a certain multiple relationship. In this disclosure, any SCS can also be designated as a specified SCS. After determining the specified period value under the specified SCS, the specified period value under each SCS can be determined based on the specified period value under the specified SCS.

[0110] In this disclosure, the quotient of the first difference and the duration of each symbol under the specified SCS, after rounding, can be multiplied by the ratio of the number of time slots per frame under each SCS to the number of time slots per frame under the specified SCS to determine the number of symbols corresponding to the second period value contained in the specified period value under each SCS.

[0111] For example, for a service where the arrival time interval of service data is 16.66ms, the above analysis shows that for a 15kHz SCS (10 time slots per frame), the number of symbols corresponding to the second period value is 93. If the 15kHz SCS is a specified SCS, then for a 30kHz SCS (20 time slots per frame), the number of symbols corresponding to the second period within the specified period value is: 93 × (20 / 10) = 186.

[0112] In addition, for extended CP, since the number of symbols per time slot is different from that of conventional CP under the same time slot duration, any of the methods disclosed herein for calculating the specified period value can be used to calculate the specified period value under extended CP.

[0113] For example, if the 15kHz SCS is the designated SCS, then for a service with a data arrival time interval of 16.66ms, and given that the first period value in the designated period under the 15kHz SCS is 10ms and the second period value is 93 symbols, then the first period value in the designated period under the 30kHz SCS is 10ms and the second period value is 93 × 2 = 186, where 2 is the ratio of the number of time slots per frame in the 30kHz SCS to the number of time slots per frame in the 30kHz SCS. This process can be repeated to determine the designated period value for each SCS.

[0114] For services with data arrival time intervals of 16.66ms (first period value is 10ms, second period value is 6ms) and 33.33ms (first period value is 32ms, second period value is 1ms), when the 15kHz SCS is a specified SCS, based on the relationship between the number of time slots per frame between different SCSs, the configurable values ​​of the second period value in the specified period value under each SCS can be determined as shown in Table 3 below:

[0115] Table 3

[0116]

[0117] It is understood that each element and each correspondence in Table 3 exists independently; these elements and correspondences are listed in the same table as an example, but this does not mean that all elements and correspondences in the table must exist simultaneously as shown in Table 3. The value of each element and each correspondence is independent of any other element value or correspondence in Table 3. Therefore, those skilled in the art will understand that the value of each element and each correspondence in Table 3 is an independent embodiment.

[0118] Optionally, the number of symbols corresponding to the second period contained in the second period contained in the quotient between the first difference and the duration of each symbol can be determined as the largest integer multiple of the first specified value contained in the quotient between the first difference and the duration of each symbol.

[0119] The first specified value can be a value agreed upon in the protocol or a value configured in the network, such as 2, 5 or 10, etc. This disclosure does not limit it.

[0120] For example, if the first specified value is 5, the arrival time interval of service data is 16.66ms, and for a 15kHz SCS, the first period value contained within the specified period value is 10ms. In this case, the first difference is 6.66ms. The quotient of the first difference and the duration per symbol corresponding to the 15kHz SCS (0.0714ms) is 93.277. Therefore, 90 (the largest multiple of 5) can be determined as the number of symbols corresponding to the second period value contained within the specified period value under the 15kHz SCS.

[0121] For example, if the arrival time interval of business data is 16.66ms, and the first period value within the specified resource for a 30kHz SCS is 10ms, then the first difference is 6.66ms. The quotient of the first difference and the duration per symbol (0.0357ms) for a 30kHz SCS is 186.555. 185 (a maximum multiple of 5) can be used to determine the number of symbols corresponding to the second period value within the specified period under a 15kHz SCS.

[0122] It should be noted that when calculating the specified period value under each SCS, the method in any embodiment of this disclosure can be used as needed, and this disclosure does not limit it.

[0123] Step 404: Send DRX configuration information to the UE, wherein the specified period value contained in the configuration information is different from any default configurable period value of DRX.

[0124] The DRX configuration information may also include cell information and / or bandwidth part (BWP) information corresponding to the number of symbols in the specified period value. Cell information may include at least one of the following: cell group identifier, cell identifier, and cell type. BWP information may include at least one of the following: BWP identifier and BWP type.

[0125] In this embodiment of the disclosure, since different cells or BWPs can correspond to different symbol durations, when the number of symbols is included in the specified period value, the DRX configuration information can also include cell information and / or BWP information, so that the UE can determine the current duration per symbol based on the cell information and / or BWP information in the DRX configuration information, so as to accurately determine the number of symbols included in the specified period value.

[0126] In the embodiments of this disclosure, step 404 can be implemented in any of the ways described in the various embodiments of this disclosure. This disclosure does not limit this and will not elaborate further.

[0127] The DRX determination method provided in this disclosure allows the network device to indicate a specified period value that matches the arrival time interval of any service data to the UE when the arrival time interval of any service data is different from the default configurable period values ​​of the DRX. This allows the network device to transmit data with the UE based on the specified period value, thereby minimizing the latency of service data transmission and improving the quality and performance of service.

[0128] The following is combined Figure 5 The present disclosure provides another method for determining DRX.

[0129] Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating another method for determining DRX provided in this embodiment of the disclosure, applied to a network device.

[0130] like Figure 5 As shown, the method for determining the DRX includes the following steps:

[0131] Step 501: In response to the fact that the arrival time interval of any service data is different from any default configurable period value, determine the millisecond value m corresponding to the first period value contained in the specified period value under each SCS based on the quotient S of the arrival time interval of any service data and the duration of each time slot corresponding to the specified SCS.

[0132] Where m is a positive integer.

[0133] The time-domain resource allocation information for each SCS may include: the duration of each time slot and the duration of each symbol.

[0134] Optionally, the millisecond value m corresponding to the first period value can be determined based on the size of the quotient S or its relationship with each default configurable period value.

[0135] For example, the integer part of S is determined to be the millisecond value m corresponding to the first period value contained within a specified period value under each SCS.

[0136] For example, if the arrival time interval of any service data is 16.66ms, and the SCS at 15kHz is the specified SCS, meaning that the duration of each time slot corresponding to the specified SCS is 1ms, then the quotient S is 16.66. Therefore, 16 can be determined as the millisecond value m corresponding to the first period value contained within the specified period value under each SCS.

[0137] Alternatively, the maximum multiple of the second specified value contained in S can be determined as the millisecond value m corresponding to the first period value contained in the specified period value under each SCS.

[0138] The second specified value can be a value agreed upon in the protocol or a value configured in the network, such as 2, 5 or 10, etc. This disclosure does not limit it.

[0139] For example, if the second specified value is 5, for a service where the arrival time interval of service data is 16.66ms, the 15kHz SCS is the specified SCS, meaning that the duration of each time slot corresponding to the specified SCS is 1ms, then the quotient S is 16.66. Thus, 15 (the largest multiple of 5) can be determined as the millisecond value m corresponding to the first period value contained within the specified period value under each SCS.

[0140] Alternatively, the default configurable period value less than S can be determined as the millisecond value m corresponding to the first period value contained within the specified period value under each SCS.

[0141] Optionally, when determining the first period value, if multiple default configurable period values ​​are all less than S, any one of the multiple default configurable period values ​​can be selected as the millisecond value m corresponding to the first period value; or, the default configurable period value with the smallest difference from S can be selected as the millisecond value m corresponding to the first period value.

[0142] For example, if the arrival time interval of any service data is 16.66ms, and the SCS of 15kHz is the specified SCS, meaning that the duration of each time slot corresponding to the specified SCS is 1ms, then the quotient S is 16.66. Since the default configurable period value less than S (16.66) is 10ms, the millisecond value m corresponding to the first period value can be determined to be 10ms.

[0143] Alternatively, if the arrival time interval for any service data is 33.33ms, and the 15kHz SCS is the specified SCS, meaning each time slot corresponding to the specified SCS has a duration of 1ms, then the quotient S is 33.33. Since the default configurable period values ​​less than S (33.33) are 10ms, 20ms, and 32ms, and the difference between 32ms and 33.33 is the smallest, it can be determined that the millisecond value m corresponding to the first period value can be 32ms.

[0144] Step 502: Determine the second difference between the arrival time interval of any business data and m.

[0145] Step 503: Based on the second difference and the duration per symbol, determine the number of symbols corresponding to the second period value contained within the specified period value under each SCS.

[0146] In this embodiment, the specific method for determining the number of symbols corresponding to the second period value contained in a specified period value under each SCS based on the second difference and the duration per symbol corresponding to each SCS can be referred to in the detailed description of any other embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0147] Step 504: Send DRX configuration information to the UE, wherein the specified period value contained in the configuration information is different from any default configurable period value of DRX.

[0148] In the embodiments of this disclosure, step 504 can be implemented in any of the ways described in the various embodiments of this disclosure. This disclosure does not limit this and will not elaborate further.

[0149] The DRX determination method provided in this disclosure allows the network device to indicate a specified period value that matches the arrival time interval of any service data to the UE when the arrival time interval of any service data is different from the default configurable period values ​​of the DRX. This allows the network device to transmit data with the UE based on the specified period value, thereby minimizing the latency of service data transmission and improving the quality and performance of service.

[0150] The following is combined Figure 6 The present disclosure provides a further explanation of another method for determining DRX.

[0151] Figure 6 This is a flowchart illustrating another method for determining DRX provided in an embodiment of this disclosure, applied to a network device.

[0152] like Figure 6 As shown, the method for determining the DRX includes the following steps:

[0153] Step 601: In response to the fact that the arrival time interval of any service data is different from any default configurable period value, determine the millisecond value m corresponding to the first period value contained in the specified period value under each SCS, which is any default configurable period value that is less than the arrival time interval of any service data.

[0154] In this embodiment, the specific process of determining the first period value contained within a specified period value under each SCS can be referred to in the detailed description of any other embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0155] Where m is a positive integer.

[0156] Step 602: Determine the first difference between the arrival time interval of any service data and m.

[0157] Step 603: The quotient of the first difference and the duration of each time slot corresponding to the specified SCS is rounded down to determine the millisecond value k corresponding to the second period value contained in the specified period value under each SCS, where k is a positive integer.

[0158] Where k is a positive integer.

[0159] As one possible implementation, the specified period value can be a combination of a first period value, a second period value, and a third period value, where the first and second period values ​​can be millisecond values, and the third period value can be the number of symbols.

[0160] Optionally, the quotient of the first difference and the duration of each time slot corresponding to the specified SCS can be rounded down to determine the millisecond value k corresponding to the second period value contained in the specified period value under each SCS.

[0161] For example, for a service where the arrival time interval of service data is 16.66ms, and the specified SCS is 15kHz (each time slot duration is 1ms), if the millisecond value m corresponding to the first period value contained within the specified period value is 10, then the first difference is 6.66ms. The quotient of the first difference 6.66ms and the duration of each time slot 1ms is 6.66, thus it can be determined that the millisecond value corresponding to the second period value contained within the specified period value under each SCS is 6.

[0162] Similarly, for a service with a data arrival interval of 33.33ms, specifying an SCS of 15kHz (each time slot duration is 1ms), and the millisecond value m corresponding to the first period value within the specified period value is 32, then the first difference is 1.33ms. The quotient of the first difference 1.33ms and the duration of each time slot 1ms is 1.33, thus determining that the millisecond value corresponding to the second period value within the specified period value under each SCS is 1.

[0163] Step 604: Determine the third difference between the first difference and k.

[0164] Step 605: Based on the third difference and the duration per symbol, determine the number of symbols corresponding to the third period value contained in the specified period value under each SCS.

[0165] Optionally, the number of symbols corresponding to the third period value contained within a specified period value under each SCS can be determined by rounding down the quotient of the third difference with the duration of each symbol corresponding to each SCS.

[0166] The number of symbols corresponding to the third period value contained in a specified period value under each SCS can be determined by rounding down, rounding up, or rounding to the nearest integer.

[0167] For example, if the arrival time interval of business data is 16.66ms, corresponding to a 15kHz SCS, this means the first period within the period value is 10ms, the second period is 6ms, and the third difference is 0.66ms. The quotient of the third difference and the duration per symbol (0.0714ms) corresponding to the 15kHz SCS is 9.243. Rounding 9.243 up to 10, the number of symbols corresponding to the third period value within the specified period value for a 15kHz SCS is 10.

[0168] For example, if the arrival time interval of business data is 16.66ms, corresponding to a 30kHz SCS, the first period within the specified period is 10ms, the second period is 6ms, and the third difference is 0.66ms. The quotient of the third difference and the duration per symbol (0.0357ms) corresponding to the 30kHz SCS is 18.49. Rounding 18.49 up gives 19. Therefore, the number of symbols corresponding to the third period within the specified period for the 30kHz SCS is 19.

[0169] For services with data arrival intervals of 16.66ms (first period value is 10ms, second period value is 6ms) and 33.33ms (first period value is 32ms, second period value is 1ms), the integer part of the quotient of the third difference and the duration of each symbol under each SCS can be used to determine the configurable values ​​of the third period value for a given period under each SCS, as shown in Table 4 below:

[0170] Table 4

[0171]

[0172] It is understood that each element and each correspondence in Table 4 exists independently; these elements and correspondences are listed in the same table as an example, but this does not mean that all elements and correspondences in the table must exist simultaneously as shown in Table 4. The value of each element and each correspondence is independent of any other element value or correspondence in Table 4. Therefore, those skilled in the art will understand that the value of each element and each correspondence in Table 4 is an independent embodiment.

[0173] It should be noted that the third difference can also be rounded down or up to determine the number of symbols corresponding to each third period value in the specified period value under each SCS. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0174] Optionally, as shown in Table 1, the duration of each symbol and the duration of each time slot corresponding to each SCS have a certain multiple relationship. In this disclosure, any SCS can also be designated as a specified SCS. After determining the specified period value under the specified SCS, the specified period value under each SCS can be determined based on the specified period value under the specified SCS.

[0175] In this disclosure, the quotient of the third difference and the duration of each symbol corresponding to the specified SCS can be rounded down and multiplied by the ratio of the number of time slots per frame under each SCS to the number of time slots per frame under the specified SCS to determine the number of symbols corresponding to the third period value contained in the specified period value under each SCS.

[0176] In addition, for extended CP, since the number of symbols per time slot is different from that of conventional CP under the same time slot duration, any of the methods disclosed herein for calculating the specified period value can be used to calculate the specified period value under extended CP.

[0177] For example, if the 15kHz SCS (10 time slots per frame) is the designated SCS, then for a service with a data arrival time interval of 16.66ms, under the 15kHz SCS, the first period value is 10ms, the second period value is 6ms, and the third period value is 10 symbols (rounded up from 9.243). Therefore, under the 30kHz SCS (20 time slots per frame), the first period value is 10ms, the second period value is 6ms, and the third period value is 10 × 2 = 20, where 2 is the ratio of the number of time slots per frame in the 30kHz SCS to the number of time slots per frame in the 15kHz SCS. This process can be repeated to determine the designated period value for each SCS.

[0178] For services with data arrival intervals of 16.66ms (first period value is 10ms, second period value is 6ms) and 33.33ms (first period value is 32ms, second period value is 1ms), when the 15kHz SCS is a specified SCS, based on the relationship between the number of time slots per frame between different SCSs, the configurable value of the third period value in the specified period value under each SCS can be determined as shown in Table 5 below:

[0179] Table 5

[0180]

[0181] It is understood that each element and each correspondence in Table 5 exists independently; these elements and correspondences are listed in the same table as an example, but this does not mean that all elements and correspondences in the table must exist simultaneously as shown in Table 5. The value of each element and each correspondence is independent of any other element value or correspondence in Table 5. Therefore, those skilled in the art will understand that the value of each element and each correspondence in Table 5 is an independent embodiment.

[0182] It should be noted that when calculating the specified period value under each SCS, the method in any embodiment of this disclosure can be used as needed, and this disclosure does not limit it.

[0183] Step 606: Send DRX configuration information to the UE, wherein the specified period value contained in the configuration information is different from any default configurable period value of DRX.

[0184] In the embodiments of this disclosure, step 606 can be implemented in any of the ways described in the various embodiments of this disclosure. This disclosure does not limit this and will not elaborate further.

[0185] The DRX determination method provided in this disclosure allows the network device to indicate a specified period value that matches the arrival time interval of any service data to the UE when the arrival time interval of any service data is different from the default configurable period values ​​of the DRX. This allows the network device to transmit data with the UE based on the specified period value, thereby minimizing the latency of service data transmission and improving the quality and performance of service.

[0186] The following is combined Figure 7 The present disclosure provides another method for determining DRX.

[0187] Figure 7 This is a flowchart illustrating another method for determining DRX provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, applied to a network device.

[0188] like Figure 7 As shown, the method for determining the DRX includes the following steps:

[0189] Step 701: In response to the fact that the arrival time interval of any service data is different from any default configurable period value, determine the quotient S between the arrival time interval of any service data and the duration of each time slot corresponding to each SCS.

[0190] Step 702: The product of the integer part of S and the number of symbols per slot corresponding to each SCS is used to determine the number of symbols corresponding to the first period value contained in the specified period value under each SCS.

[0191] The time-domain resource allocation information for each SCS may include: the duration per time slot, the number of symbols per time slot, and the duration per symbol.

[0192] For example, if the arrival time interval of service data is 16.66ms, and the duration of each time slot for a 15kHz SCS is 1ms with 14 symbols per time slot, then for a 15kHz SCS, the quotient S = 16.66. Therefore, it can be determined that the number of symbols corresponding to the first period value contained within a specified period value under a 15kHz SCS is 16 × 14.

[0193] For example, if the arrival time interval of service data is 16.66ms, and the duration of each time slot for a 30kHz SCS is 0.5ms with 14 symbols per time slot, then for a 30kHz SCS, the quotient S = 33.32. Therefore, it can be determined that the number of symbols corresponding to the first period value contained within a specified period value under a 30kHz SCS is 33 × 14.

[0194] For services with data arrival time intervals of 16.66ms and 33.33ms, the integer part of the quotient S between the service data arrival time interval and the duration of each time slot corresponding to each SCS is multiplied by the number of symbols per time slot corresponding to each SCS. When determining the number of symbols corresponding to the first cycle value in the specified cycle value under each SCS, the configurable values ​​for the first cycle value under each SCS are shown in Table 6 below:

[0195] Table 6

[0196]

[0197] It is understood that each element and each correspondence in Table 6 exists independently; these elements and correspondences are listed in the same table as an example, but this does not mean that all elements and correspondences in the table must exist simultaneously as shown in Table 6. The value of each element and each correspondence is independent of any other element value or correspondence in Table 6. Therefore, those skilled in the art will understand that the value of each element and each correspondence in Table 6 is an independent embodiment.

[0198] Step 703: Based on the fractional part of S and the symbol duration corresponding to each SCS, determine the number of symbols corresponding to the second period value contained in the specified period value under each SCS.

[0199] Optionally, the fractional part of the quotient S can be rounded down to the quotient of the symbol duration under each SCS to determine the number of symbols corresponding to the second period value contained within a specified period value under each SCS.

[0200] For example, for services with data arrival time intervals of 16.66ms and 33.33ms, when determining the number of symbols corresponding to the second period value in the specified period value for each SCS by rounding up the quotient of the decimal part of S with the symbol duration under each SCS, the configurable values ​​for the second period value are shown in Table 7 below:

[0201] Table 7

[0202]

[0203] It is understood that each element and each correspondence in Table 7 exists independently; these elements and correspondences are listed in the same table as an example, but this does not mean that all elements and correspondences in the table must exist simultaneously as shown in Table 7. The value of each element and each correspondence is independent of any other element value or correspondence in Table 7. Therefore, those skilled in the art will understand that the value of each element and each correspondence in Table 7 is an independent embodiment.

[0204] It should be noted that the value obtained by rounding down or rounding the quotient of the decimal part of S to the symbol duration under each SCS can also be used to determine the number of symbols corresponding to the second period value in the specified period value under each SCS. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0205] Optionally, as shown in Table 1, the duration per symbol and duration per time slot of each SCS have a certain multiple relationship. In this disclosure, any SCS can be designated as a specified SCS. After determining the number of symbols corresponding to the second period value in the specified period value under the specified SCS, the number of symbols corresponding to the second period value in the specified period value under the specified SCS can be determined based on the number of symbols corresponding to the second period value in the specified period value under the specified SCS.

[0206] In this disclosure, the fractional part of the quotient S can be rounded down to the quotient of the symbol duration under the specified SCS, and then multiplied by the ratio of the number of time slots per frame under each SCS to the number of time slots per frame under the specified SCS to determine the number of symbols corresponding to the second period value contained in the specified period value under each SCS.

[0207] In addition, for extended CP, since the number of symbols per time slot is different from that of conventional CP under the same time slot duration, any of the methods disclosed herein for calculating the specified period value can be used to calculate the specified period value under extended CP.

[0208] For example, for services with data arrival intervals of 16.66ms and 33.33ms, and with a specified SCS at 15kHz, the configurable values ​​for the second period value in each specified period value under each SCS can be determined based on the relationship between the number of time slots per frame across different SCSs, as shown in Table 8 below:

[0209] Table 8

[0210]

[0211] It is understood that each element and each correspondence in Table 8 exists independently; these elements and correspondences are listed in the same table as an example, but this does not mean that all elements and correspondences in the table must exist simultaneously as shown in Table 8. The value of each element and each correspondence is independent of any other element value or correspondence in Table 8. Therefore, those skilled in the art will understand that the value of each element and each correspondence in Table 8 is an independent embodiment.

[0212] It should be noted that when calculating the specified period value under each SCS, the method in any embodiment of this disclosure can be used as needed, and this disclosure does not limit it.

[0213] Optionally, in this disclosure, after determining the number of symbols corresponding to the first period value in the specified period value under the specified SCS, the number of symbols corresponding to the first period value in the specified period value under the specified SCS can be determined based on the number of symbols corresponding to the first period value in the specified period value under the specified SCS.

[0214] In this disclosure, the number of first symbols corresponding to the first period value and the number of second symbols corresponding to the second period value within a specified period value under a specified SCS can be determined firstly; then, the number of first symbols is multiplied by the ratio of the number of time slots per frame under each SCS to the number of time slots per frame under the specified SCS to determine the number of symbols corresponding to the first period value within a specified period value under each SCS; and the number of second symbols is multiplied by the ratio of the number of time slots per frame under each SCS to the number of time slots per frame under the specified SCS to determine the number of symbols corresponding to the second period value within a specified period value under each SCS.

[0215] In addition, for extended CP, since the number of symbols per time slot is different from that of conventional CP under the same time slot duration, any of the methods disclosed herein for calculating the specified period value can be used to calculate the specified period value under extended CP.

[0216] For example, for services with data arrival intervals of 16.66ms and 33.33ms, and with a specified SCS at 15kHz, the configurable value of the first period value in each specified period value under each SCS can be determined based on the relationship between the number of time slots per frame across different SCSs, as shown in Table 9 below:

[0217] Table 9

[0218]

[0219] It is understood that each element and each correspondence in Table 9 exists independently; these elements and correspondences are listed in the same table as an example, but this does not mean that all elements and correspondences in the table must exist simultaneously as shown in Table 9. The value of each element and each correspondence is independent of any other element value or correspondence in Table 9. Therefore, those skilled in the art will understand that the value of each element and each correspondence in Table 9 is an independent embodiment.

[0220] Step 704: Send DRX configuration information to the UE, wherein the specified period value contained in the configuration information is different from any default configurable period value of DRX.

[0221] In the embodiments of this disclosure, step 704 can be implemented in any of the ways described in the various embodiments of this disclosure. This disclosure does not limit this and will not elaborate further.

[0222] The DRX determination method provided in this disclosure allows the network device to indicate a specified period value that matches the arrival time interval of any service data to the UE when the arrival time interval of any service data is different from the default configurable period values ​​of the DRX. This allows the network device to transmit data with the UE based on the specified period value, thereby minimizing the latency of service data transmission and improving the quality and performance of service.

[0223] The following is combined Figure 8 The present disclosure provides another method for determining DRX.

[0224] Figure 8 This is a flowchart illustrating another method for determining DRX provided in this embodiment of the disclosure, applied to a network device.

[0225] like Figure 8 As shown, the method for determining the DRX includes the following steps:

[0226] Step 801: In response to the fact that the arrival time interval of any service data is different from any default configurable period value, the duration corresponding to any default configurable period value that is less than the arrival time interval of any service data is determined as the millisecond value m corresponding to the first period value contained in the specified period value under each SCS.

[0227] In this embodiment, the specific process of determining the first period value contained within a specified period value under each SCS can be referred to in the detailed description of any other embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0228] Where m is a positive integer.

[0229] Step 802: Determine the first difference between the arrival time interval of any service data and m.

[0230] Step 803: Determine the millisecond value f corresponding to the second period value contained within the specified period value from the integer part of the first difference.

[0231] As one possible implementation, the specified period value can be a combination of a first period value, a second period value, and a third period value, where the first and second period values ​​can be millisecond values, and the third period value can be a number of sub-milliseconds. Therefore, the integer part of the first difference can be determined as the millisecond value f corresponding to the second period value contained within the specified period value.

[0232] For example, for a service where the arrival time interval of business data is 16.66ms, if the millisecond value m corresponding to the first period value contained within the specified period value is 10, then the first difference is 6.66ms. Thus, it can be determined that the millisecond value f corresponding to the second period value contained within the specified period value under each SCS is 6.

[0233] Similarly, for a service where the arrival time interval of business data is 33.33ms, the millisecond value m corresponding to the first period value contained within the specified period value is 32, and the first difference is 1.33ms. Therefore, it can be determined that the millisecond value f corresponding to the second period value contained within the specified period value under each SCS is 1.

[0234] Step 804: Determine the fourth difference between the first difference and the millisecond value f.

[0235] Step 805: The quotient of the fourth difference and the specified reference coefficient is used to determine the number of sub-milliseconds corresponding to the third period value contained within the specified period value under each SCS.

[0236] The specified reference coefficient can be 1 / a. It should be noted that the specific value of 'a' can be determined according to specific needs, and this embodiment does not limit this. For example, 'a' can be 32, meaning the specified reference coefficient is 1 / 32.

[0237] As one possible implementation, when the specified period value is a combination of the first period value, the second period value, and the third period value, and the first period value and the second period value are millisecond values, and the third period value is the number of sub-milliseconds, the quotient of the fourth difference between the first difference and the millisecond value f and the specified reference coefficient can be determined as the number of sub-milliseconds corresponding to the third period value.

[0238] For example, the arrival time interval of business data is 16.66ms, the specified reference coefficient is 1 / 32, and for the DRX long period, the first period value contained in the specified period value under each SCS is 10ms. At this time, the first difference is 6.66ms, that is, the second period value is 6, and the fourth difference is 0.66. Thus, it can be determined that the number of sub-milliseconds corresponding to the third period value contained in the specified period value under each SCS is 0.66 / (1 / 32) = 21.

[0239] For example, if the arrival time interval of business data is 33.33ms and the specified reference coefficient is 1 / 32, for a long period of DRX, the first period value contained in the specified period value under each SCS is 32ms. At this time, the first difference is 1.33ms, that is, the second period value is 1, and the fourth difference is 0.33. Thus, it can be determined that the number of sub-milliseconds corresponding to the third period value contained in the specified period value under each SCS is 0.33 / (1 / 32) = 11.

[0240] Optionally, when the quotient of the fourth difference and the specified reference coefficient is not an integer, the integer value of the quotient of the fourth difference and the specified reference coefficient can be determined as the number of sub-milliseconds corresponding to the third period value contained within the specified period value. In this embodiment, the rounding can be rounding down, rounding up, or rounding to the nearest integer, etc.

[0241] Step 806: Send DRX configuration information to the UE, wherein the specified period value contained in the configuration information is different from any default configurable period value of DRX.

[0242] In the embodiments of this disclosure, step 806 can be implemented in any of the ways described in the various embodiments of this disclosure. This disclosure does not limit this and will not elaborate further.

[0243] The DRX determination method provided in this disclosure allows the network device to indicate a specified period value that matches the arrival time interval of any service data to the UE when the arrival time interval of any service data is different from the default configurable period values ​​of the DRX. This allows the network device to transmit data with the UE based on the specified period value, thereby minimizing the latency of service data transmission and improving the quality and performance of service.

[0244] The following is combined Figure 9The present disclosure provides another method for determining DRX.

[0245] Figure 9 This is a flowchart illustrating another method for determining DRX provided in this embodiment of the disclosure, applied to a network device.

[0246] like Figure 9 As shown, the method for determining the DRX includes the following steps:

[0247] Step 901: In response to the fact that the arrival time interval of any service data is different from any default configurable period value, the number of symbols contained in the specified period value under each SCS is determined by rounding down the quotient of the arrival time interval of any service data with the duration of each symbol under each SCS.

[0248] The time-domain resource allocation information for each SCS may include: duration per symbol.

[0249] For example, for services with data arrival intervals of 16.66ms and 33.33ms, when determining the number of symbols included in a specified period value under each SCS by rounding down the quotient of the service data arrival interval to the symbol duration corresponding to each SCS, the configurable values ​​for a specified period value under each SCS are shown in Table 10 below:

[0250] Table 10

[0251]

[0252] It is understood that each element and each correspondence in Table 10 exists independently; these elements and correspondences are listed in the same table as an example, but this does not mean that all elements and correspondences in the table must exist simultaneously as shown in Table 10. The value of each element and each correspondence is independent of any other element value or correspondence in Table 10. Therefore, those skilled in the art will understand that the value of each element and each correspondence in Table 10 is an independent embodiment.

[0253] It should be noted that the number of symbols contained in the next period value of each SCS can also be determined by rounding up or rounding the quotient of the arrival time interval of the business data and the duration of each symbol corresponding to each SCS. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0254] Optionally, as shown in Table 1, the duration per symbol and duration per time slot of each SCS have a certain multiple relationship. In this disclosure, any SCS can also be designated as a specified SCS. After determining the number of symbols contained in a specified period value under the specified SCS, the number of symbols contained in a specified period value under each SCS can be determined based on the number of symbols contained in a specified period value under the specified SCS.

[0255] In this disclosure, the number of symbols contained in a specified period value under each SCS can also be determined by multiplying the integer value of the quotient of the arrival time interval of any service data and the symbol duration under a specified SCS by the ratio of the number of time slots per frame under each SCS to the number of time slots per frame under a specified SCS.

[0256] In addition, for extended CP, since the number of symbols per time slot is different from that of conventional CP under the same time slot duration, any of the methods disclosed herein for calculating the specified period value can be used to calculate the specified period value under extended CP.

[0257] For example, for services with data arrival intervals of 16.66ms and 33.33ms, with a specified SCS at 15kHz, the number of symbols contained within a specified period value under each SCS can be determined based on the relationship between the number of time slots per frame across different SCSs, as shown in Table 11 below:

[0258] Table 11

[0259]

[0260] It is understood that each element and each correspondence in Table 11 exists independently; these elements and correspondences are listed in the same table as an example, but this does not mean that all elements and correspondences in the table must exist simultaneously as shown in Table 11. The value of each element and each correspondence is independent of any other element value or correspondence in Table 11. Therefore, those skilled in the art will understand that the value of each element and each correspondence in Table 11 is an independent embodiment.

[0261] Step 902: Send DRX configuration information to the UE, wherein the specified period value contained in the configuration information is different from any default configurable period value of DRX.

[0262] In the embodiments of this disclosure, step 902 can be implemented in any of the ways described in the various embodiments of this disclosure. This disclosure does not limit this and will not elaborate further.

[0263] The DRX determination method provided in this disclosure allows the network device to indicate a specified period value that matches the arrival time interval of any service data to the UE when the arrival time interval of any service data is different from the default configurable period values ​​of the DRX. This allows the network device to transmit data with the UE based on the specified period value, thereby minimizing the latency of service data transmission and improving the quality and performance of service.

[0264] The following is combined Figure 10 The present disclosure provides a further explanation of another method for determining DRX.

[0265] Figure 10 This is a flowchart illustrating another method for determining DRX provided in an embodiment of this disclosure, applied to a network device.

[0266] like Figure 10 As shown, the method for determining the DRX includes the following steps:

[0267] Step 1001: In response to the fact that the arrival time interval of any service data is different from any default configurable period value, the quotient of the arrival time interval of any service data and the specified reference coefficient is determined as the number of sub-milliseconds contained in the specified period value.

[0268] The specified reference coefficient can be 1 / a. It should be noted that the specific value of 'a' can be determined according to specific needs, and this embodiment does not limit this. For example, 'a' can be 32, meaning the specified reference coefficient is 1 / 32.

[0269] One possible implementation is to represent the specified period value using the number of sub-milliseconds. Therefore, the number of sub-milliseconds contained within the specified period value can be determined by dividing the arrival time interval of any business data by a specified reference coefficient.

[0270] For example, if the arrival time interval of business data is 16.66ms and the specified reference coefficient is 1 / 32, then the number of sub-milliseconds contained in the specified period value under each SCS can be determined to be 16.66 / (1 / 32) = 533.

[0271] For example, if the arrival time interval of business data is 33.33ms and the specified reference coefficient is 1 / 32, then the number of sub-milliseconds contained in the specified period value under each SCS can be determined to be 33.33 / (1 / 32) = 1067.

[0272] Optionally, when the quotient of the arrival time interval of any service data and the specified reference coefficient is not an integer, the integer value of the quotient of the arrival time interval of any service data and the specified reference coefficient can be determined as the number of sub-milliseconds contained within the specified period value. In this embodiment, the rounding can be rounding down, rounding up, or rounding to the nearest integer, etc.

[0273] Step 1002: Send DRX configuration information to the UE, wherein the specified period value contained in the configuration information is different from any default configurable period value of DRX.

[0274] In the embodiments of this disclosure, step 1002 can be implemented in any of the ways described in the various embodiments of this disclosure. This disclosure does not limit this and will not elaborate further.

[0275] The DRX determination method provided in this disclosure allows the network device to indicate a specified period value that matches the arrival time interval of any service data to the UE when the arrival time interval of any service data is different from the default configurable period values ​​of the DRX. This allows the network device to transmit data with the UE based on the specified period value, thereby minimizing the latency of service data transmission and improving the quality and performance of service.

[0276] The following is combined Figure 11 The present disclosure provides another method for determining DRX.

[0277] Figure 11 This is a flowchart illustrating another method for determining DRX provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, applied to a UE.

[0278] like Figure 11 As shown, the method for determining the DRX includes the following steps:

[0279] Step 1101: Receive DRX configuration information sent by the network device, wherein the specified period value contained in the configuration information is different from any default configurable period value of DRX.

[0280] The specified period value can be any of the following period types: long period, short period, scheduling period, retransmission period, return period, and deactivation period.

[0281] Optionally, the specified period value can be determined by the network device according to the protocol, or it can be determined according to the current business needs.

[0282] In addition, the above configuration information can be an RRC message or a PDCCH control signaling, and this disclosure does not limit it.

[0283] Optionally, in this disclosure, the network device may determine a specified period value based on the arrival time interval of any service data when it is determined that the arrival time interval of any service data is different from each default configurable period value.

[0284] For example, AR or VR services can provide users with video streaming services. Typical video frame rates are 30 or 60 frames per second, meaning the video frame arrival time interval is 33.33ms or 16.66ms. This arrival time interval differs from the default configurable period value of DRX (10ms, 20ms, etc.). Therefore, the network device in this disclosure can determine the current specified period value of DRX based on the arrival time interval of the video service and send this specified period value to the UE, so that the UE can transmit uplink and downlink data with the network device based on this specified period value.

[0285] Optionally, the specified period value can include different content as needed, such as a first period value, which can be the number of sub-milliseconds or the number of OFDM symbols.

[0286] For example, for a service where the data arrival time interval is 16.66ms, the specified period value can include 533 sub-milliseconds at 15kHz.

[0287] Optionally, the specified period value may also include a combination of a first period value and a second period value, wherein the first period value may be a millisecond value or the number of symbols, and the second period value may also be a millisecond value, the number of symbols, or the number of sub-milliseconds, etc., which are not limited in this disclosure.

[0288] For example, for a service where the data arrival time interval is 16.66ms, the specified resource period can include a first period value (10ms) and a second period value (10 symbols) at 15kHz, where 10ms is the default configurable period value for DRX.

[0289] Optionally, the specified period value may also include a combination of a first period value, a second period value, and a third period value, wherein the first period value may be a millisecond value, the second period value may also be a millisecond value, and the third period value may be the number of symbols or the number of sub-milliseconds, etc., which are not limited in this disclosure.

[0290] For example, for a service where the data arrival time interval is 16.66ms, the specified resource period can include a first period value (10ms), a second period value (6ms), and a third period value (10) at 15kHz, where 10ms is the default configurable period value for DRX.

[0291] In this embodiment, the method for determining the specified period value can be referred to in the detailed description of other embodiments of this disclosure, and will not be repeated here.

[0292] As one possible implementation, when the number of symbols is included within a specified period value, the UE can also determine the cell information and / or BWP information corresponding to the number of symbols.

[0293] The cell information may include at least one of the following: cell group identifier, cell identifier, and cell type. The BWP information may include at least one of the following: BWP identifier and BWP type.

[0294] Optionally, the DRX configuration information received by the UE may include cell information and / or BWP information corresponding to the number of symbols. Therefore, when the UE receives the DRX configuration information sent by the network device, it can parse the DRX configuration information to determine the cell information and / or BWP information corresponding to the number of symbols.

[0295] Optionally, the network device can also agree on the cell information and / or BWP information corresponding to the number of symbols through a protocol, so that the UE can determine the cell information and / or BWP information corresponding to the number of symbols in the specified period value sent by the network device according to the pre-agreed protocol between the UE and the network device.

[0296] As one possible implementation, since the active cell or BWP may switch during data transmission between the network device and the UE, and the duration per symbol may differ for different cells (or BWPs), when the currently active cell differs from the cell in the configuration information (or the currently active BWP differs from the BWP in the configuration information), the UE can update the number of symbols in the specified period value based on the currently active cell or BWP to ensure the accuracy of the specified period value determination. That is, in one possible implementation of this application embodiment, the number of symbols corresponding to the current BWP or cell can be determined in the following way:

[0297] Method 1

[0298] In response to the fact that the currently active BWP is different from the BWP in the configuration information, the number of symbols corresponding to the currently active BWP is calculated based on the ratio of the SCS of the currently active BWP to the SCS of the BWP in the configuration information, and the number of symbols contained within the specified period value.

[0299] Optionally, if the configuration information includes BWP information and the currently active BWP is different from the BWP in the configuration information, the quotient of the number of symbols included in the specified period value and the ratio of the duration of each symbol in the SCS of the currently active BWP to the duration of each symbol in the SCS of the BWP in the configuration information can be determined as the number of symbols corresponding to the currently active BWP.

[0300] Method 2

[0301] The number of symbols corresponding to the currently active BWP is calculated based on the SCS of the currently active BWP and the number of symbols contained within the specified period value.

[0302] Optionally, if the configuration information does not include BWP information, the combination method of the specified period value can be determined based on the number of symbols contained within the specified period value. Then, based on the method for determining the number of symbols corresponding to the combination method of the specified period value disclosed in the above embodiments, and the SCS of the currently active BWP, the number of symbols corresponding to the currently active BWP can be re-determined.

[0303] Method 3

[0304] Calculate the number of symbols corresponding to the currently active cell based on the SCS of the currently active cell and the number of symbols contained within the specified period value.

[0305] Optionally, if the configuration information does not include cell information, the combination method of the specified period value can be determined based on the number of symbols contained within the specified period value. Then, based on the method for determining the number of symbols corresponding to the combination method of the specified period value disclosed in the above embodiments, and the SCS of the currently active cell, the number of symbols corresponding to the currently active cell can be re-determined.

[0306] Method 4

[0307] In response to the fact that the currently active cell is different from the cell in the configuration information, the number of symbols corresponding to the currently active cell is calculated based on the ratio of the SCS of the currently active cell to the SCS of the cell in the configuration information, and the number of symbols contained within the specified period value.

[0308] Optionally, if the configuration information includes cell information and the currently active cell is different from the cell in the configuration information, the quotient of the number of symbols included in the specified period value and the ratio of the duration of each symbol in the SCS of the currently active cell to the duration of each symbol in the SCS of the cell in the configuration information can be used to determine the number of symbols corresponding to the currently active cell.

[0309] As one possible implementation, when the currently active BWP differs from the BWP in the configuration information (or the currently active cell differs from the cell in the configuration information), or when the currently active BWP changes (or the currently active cell changes), the timer corresponding to the specified period value can be stopped or restarted. This allows the timer to be restarted after the number of symbols included in the specified period value is re-determined. That is, in one possible implementation of this application embodiment, the above method may further include:

[0310] In response to the fact that the currently active BWP is different from the BWP in the configuration information, stop or restart the timer corresponding to the specified period value;

[0311] or,

[0312] In response to the fact that the currently active BWP is different from the historically active BWP, stop or restart the timer corresponding to the specified period value;

[0313] or,

[0314] In response to the fact that the currently active cell is different from the historically active cells, stop or restart the timer corresponding to the specified period value;

[0315] or,

[0316] If the currently active cell is different from the cell in the configuration information, stop or restart the timer corresponding to the specified period value.

[0317] Step 1102: Monitor the control channel based on a specified period.

[0318] After the UE determines the specified period value corresponding to the DRX based on the DRX configuration information sent by the network device, it can listen to the control channel according to the configured specified period value to receive downlink data sent by the network device.

[0319] It is understood that, in this disclosure, the DRX configuration information received by the UE is sent by the network device based on the arrival time interval of the service data when it determines that the arrival time interval of any service data is different from each default configurable period value, so as to make the indicated specified period value match the arrival time interval of the service data as much as possible, so as to reduce the transmission delay of the service data.

[0320] The DRX determination method of this disclosure allows the UE to transmit data with the network device based on a specified period value that matches the arrival time interval of the service data, thereby minimizing the latency of service data transmission and improving the quality and performance of service services.

[0321] To implement the above embodiments, this disclosure also proposes a DRX determination device.

Each sub-millisecond is a time unit less than a millisecond and is a non-integer number of milliseconds. The number of sub-milliseconds in the specified period value is determined by the network device in response to the difference between the arrival time interval of any service data and any default configurable period value, based on the quotient of the arrival time interval of any service data and a specified reference coefficient. When the quotient of the arrival time interval of any service data and the specified reference coefficient is not an integer, the number of sub-milliseconds in the specified period value is the integer value obtained by rounding up the quotient of the arrival time interval of any service data and the specified reference coefficient. The monitoring module is used to monitor the control channel based on the specified period.
