Monitoring control, control indication method and device

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a monitoring and control method, including: receiving indication information from a base station, where the indication information is used to indicate that the base station has enabled a target control policy, and the target control policy is for the base station to control the uplink resources of the terminal within a target time window according to the maximum duty cycle capability information of the terminal; stopping monitoring the uplink duty cycle. According to the present disclosure, after the base station enables the target control policy, it can send indication information to the terminal to inform the terminal that the base station has enabled the target control policy. Accordingly, the terminal can determine that the base station has enabled the target control policy, so that the uplink duty cycle of the terminal will not exceed the duty cycle threshold corresponding to the maximum duty cycle capability information of the terminal. Even if the terminal monitors the uplink duty cycle, the monitored uplink duty cycle will not exceed the duty cycle threshold corresponding to the maximum duty cycle capability information of the terminal. Therefore, the terminal can stop monitoring the uplink duty cycle, which is beneficial to saving the resources of the terminal.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular, to a monitoring control method, a control indication method, a monitoring control device, a control indication device, a communication device, and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] The electromagnetic radiation from mobile terminal devices such as mobile phones, smart watches, and computers can have an impact on human safety. Especially with the upcoming commercialization of 5G NR (New Radio), terminals that support high-frequency bands and high power will become the mainstream in the market, which objectively increases the risk of electromagnetic radiation from terminals to human safety.

[0003] The terminal's electromagnetic radiation standard for human safety is expressed internationally in terms of the electromagnetic wave absorption ratio or specific absorption rate SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) and the maximum permissible exposure MPE (Maximum Permissible Exposure). The former is mainly aimed at low-frequency bands, such as those below 6 GHz, while the latter is mainly aimed at millimeter wave bands.

[0004] In related technologies, in order to reduce the impact of terminal transmission signals on human safety, in a single frequency band, a certain power backoff is usually performed on the basis of the transmission power or the uplink duty cycle (ULDutycycle) of the terminal transmission is reduced to meet the SAR or MPE requirements.

[0005] For example, at high power levels, the terminal can report the maximum uplink duty cycle capability information (MaximumDutycycleCapability). The base station can adjust the uplink and downlink configurations to ensure that the uplink duty of the terminal is not greater than the duty cycle threshold corresponding to the capability information, and can inform the terminal of the adjusted uplink and downlink configurations, so that the terminal can directly determine the uplink duty cycle based on the uplink and downlink configurations without having to monitor the uplink duty cycle itself.

[0006] The above-mentioned method of controlling the uplink duty cycle of the terminal by adjusting the uplink and downlink configurations by the base station is mainly applicable to the case of TDD (Time Division Duplexing, time division multiplexing), but there will be certain problems for the case of FDD (Frequency Division Duplexing, frequency division multiplexing).

[0007] The reason is that in FDD communication scenarios, communication can be carried out on different frequency bands at the same time. If a certain time domain unit is directly configured to have no resources, all frequency bands corresponding to the time domain unit will have no resources, which will cause problems. Therefore, the base station cannot control the duty cycle by directly adjusting the uplink and downlink configuration (such as dynamic time slot control, adjusting TDD-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon, adjusting TDD-UL-DL-ConfigDedicated), but can only control the uplink duty cycle by controlling the specific uplink resources.

[0008] However, currently the terminal does not know when the base station has enabled this strategy for controlling the uplink duty cycle, so it is necessary to keep monitoring and calculating the uplink duty cycle to determine whether the uplink duty cycle exceeds the duty cycle threshold corresponding to the maximum uplink duty cycle capability MaximumDutycycle Capability, which brings complexity and power consumption issues to the terminal. Summary of the invention

[0009] In view of this, the embodiments of the present disclosure propose a monitoring control method, a control indication method, a monitoring control device, a control indication device, a communication device and a computer-readable storage medium to solve the technical problems in the related art.

[0029] According to an eighth aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, a computer-readable storage medium is proposed for storing a computer program, which implements the steps in the above-mentioned control indication method when executed by a processor.

[0055] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0059] Figure 1 It is a schematic flow chart of a monitoring and control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The monitoring and control method shown in this embodiment can be applied to a terminal, and the terminal includes but is not limited to a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a wearable device, a sensor, an Internet of Things device and other communication devices. The terminal can communicate with a base station as a user device, and the base station includes but is not limited to a base station in a communication system such as a 4G base station, a 5G base station, and a 6G base station.

[0060] In an embodiment, the base station may be a base station to which the control indication method described in any subsequent embodiment is applicable.

[0061] like Figure 1 As shown, the monitoring and control method may include the following steps:

[0062] In step S101, indication information is received from a base station, wherein the indication information is used to indicate that the base station has enabled a target control strategy, wherein the target control strategy is that the base station controls the uplink resources of the terminal within a target time window (also referred to as an evaluation window) according to the maximum duty cycle capability information of the terminal;

[0063] In step S102, monitoring of the uplink duty cycle is stopped.

[0064] In one embodiment, the terminal may report at least one of the following information to the base station:

[0065] Power headroom report (PHR), configured maximum UE output power (PCMAX), maximum allowed UE output power reduction. The base station can determine whether to enable the target control strategy based on at least one of the information.

[0066] For example, when it is determined that the power headroom report of the terminal is small (for example, less than the power headroom threshold), the target control strategy can be enabled. Since the power headroom report of the terminal is small, it can be determined that the terminal needs less uplink transmission information, so even if the target control strategy is enabled to control the uplink duty cycle to decrease and the uplink resources to decrease, the terminal can complete the uplink transmission in a shorter time.

[0067] For example, when the configured maximum user equipment output power is large (for example, greater than the output power threshold), the target control strategy can be enabled. Since the configured maximum user equipment output power of the terminal is large, it can be determined that the output power adopted by the terminal is large, which is more likely to cause electromagnetic radiation to affect the user, so the target control strategy can be enabled to control the uplink duty cycle to decrease, so as to reduce the impact of electromagnetic radiation on the user.

[0068] For example, when the maximum user power backoff is large (for example, greater than the backoff power threshold), the target control strategy can be enabled. Since the maximum user power backoff of the terminal is large, it can be determined that the terminal needs to perform a large degree of power backoff, so its output power should be large, which is more likely to cause electromagnetic radiation to affect the user, so the target control strategy can be enabled to control the uplink duty cycle to reduce, so as to reduce the impact of electromagnetic radiation on the user.

[0069] It should be noted that the base station can determine whether to enable the target control strategy based on one of the above three items of information alone, or the base station can determine whether to enable the target control strategy based on two or three of the above three items of information in combination, for example, by performing a weighted sum of the values ​​of multiple pieces of information and determining whether to enable the target control strategy based on the sum result.

[0070] In one embodiment, the base station enables a target control strategy, specifically, the base station controls the uplink resources of the terminal within a target time window so that the uplink duty cycle of the terminal within the target time window is less than a duty cycle threshold determined according to the maximum duty cycle capability information of the terminal.

[0071] Among them, the base station controls the uplink resources of the terminal, which can be for the uplink resources of the communication in FDD mode or for the uplink resources of the communication in TDD mode. For example, for the control of the uplink resources of the communication in FDD mode, it can specifically control certain frequency domain resources (such as carriers, component carriers, bandwidth parts, etc.) on certain time domain units (such as symbols, time slots, subframes, etc.) not to perform uplink transmission, instead of directly adjusting the uplink and downlink configurations, and not sending the uplink and downlink configuration information after enabling the target control strategy to the terminal.

[0072] In one embodiment, after enabling the target control strategy, the base station can send an indication message to the terminal to inform the terminal that the base station has enabled the target control strategy. The base station can control the uplink resources of the terminal within the target time window to ensure that within the target time window, the uplink duty cycle of the terminal does not exceed the duty cycle threshold corresponding to the maximum duty cycle capability information of the terminal.

[0073] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, after enabling the target control strategy, the base station may send indication information to the terminal to inform the terminal that the base station has enabled the target control strategy. Accordingly, the terminal may determine that the base station has enabled the target control strategy, so that the uplink duty cycle of the terminal will not exceed the duty cycle threshold corresponding to the maximum duty cycle capability information of the terminal, and even if the terminal monitors the uplink duty cycle, the monitored uplink duty cycle will not exceed the duty cycle threshold corresponding to the maximum duty cycle capability information of the terminal, so the terminal may stop monitoring (e.g., stop monitoring within the target time window) the uplink duty cycle, which is conducive to saving resources of the terminal.

[0074] In one embodiment, the target time window may be pre-defined by the protocol or configured by the base station to the terminal. For example, the target time window may be a specified starting point within each wireless frame and last for a period of time. The specified starting point and duration may be configured as needed, for example, lasting 10 milliseconds.

[0075] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart of another monitoring and control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2As shown, the method also includes:

[0076] In step S201, maximum duty cycle capability information is sent to the base station.

[0077] In one embodiment, the terminal can send its maximum duty cycle capability information to the base station. The duty cycle threshold corresponding to the maximum duty cycle capability information is the maximum value of the uplink duty cycle allowed by the terminal. If the uplink duty cycle exceeds the threshold, it may affect the user.

[0078] Accordingly, the base station can determine the duty cycle threshold based on the maximum duty cycle capability information, and formulate a specific target control strategy based on the determined duty cycle threshold. For example, the target control strategy can be set such that the base station controls the uplink resources of the terminal within the target time window so that the uplink duty cycle of the terminal within the target time window is less than the duty cycle threshold determined based on the maximum duty cycle capability information of the terminal.

[0079] It should be noted that when the base station needs to specify the target control strategy, if it does not receive the maximum duty cycle capability information from the terminal, it can determine the duty cycle threshold based on the default maximum duty cycle capability information. For example, the duty cycle threshold determined based on the default maximum duty cycle capability information can be 50%.

[0080] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart of another monitoring and control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 As shown, the sending of the maximum duty cycle capability information to the base station includes:

[0081] In step S301, in response to a current power level being higher than a level threshold, maximum duty cycle capability information is sent to the base station.

[0082] In one embodiment, the terminal may send the maximum duty cycle capability information to the base station only when its current power level is high (eg, higher than a level threshold).

[0083] Since the terminal may use a larger output power when the current power level is high, such as PC2 (26dBm) or PC1.5 (29dBm), it is more likely to cause electromagnetic radiation to affect the user. Therefore, the maximum duty cycle capability information can be sent to the base station so that the base station can enable the target control strategy to control the uplink duty cycle of the terminal so that it does not exceed the duty cycle threshold, thereby reducing the impact of electromagnetic radiation on the user.

[0084] When the current power level of the terminal is low, such as PC3, the terminal may use a small output power, which generally does not cause electromagnetic radiation to affect the user, so it is not necessary to send the maximum duty cycle capability information to the base station. Of course, in this case, the terminal can also choose to send the maximum duty cycle capability information to the base station, which can be selected by the terminal according to its own needs.

[0085] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart of another monitoring and control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4 As shown, the method also includes:

[0086] In step S401, receiving the effective time of the target control strategy from the base station;

[0087] In step S402, maintaining the current power level within the effective time;

[0088] In step S403, monitoring the uplink duty cycle outside the effective time;

[0089] In step S404, in response to the monitored uplink duty cycle being greater than the duty cycle threshold corresponding to the maximum duty cycle capability information, power backoff is performed.

[0090] In one embodiment, after formulating the target control strategy, the base station may also determine the effective time of the target control strategy, and then send the effective time to the terminal.

[0091] After receiving the effective time, the terminal can maintain the current power level within the effective time, for example, it can maintain a power level higher than the level threshold. Because during the effective time, the base station can enable the target control strategy to ensure that the uplink duty cycle of the terminal does not exceed the duty cycle threshold, thereby avoiding the impact of electromagnetic radiation on the user, so even if the terminal transmits a high power, the terminal's target control strategy can still be achieved, so the current power level can be maintained within the effective time, which is conducive to ensuring relatively good communication quality.

[0092] In one embodiment, the terminal may also stop monitoring the uplink duty cycle within the effective time. Outside the effective time, since the base station has stopped the target control strategy, the uplink duty cycle may exceed the duty cycle threshold. Therefore, the terminal continues to monitor the uplink duty cycle, and when the monitored uplink duty cycle is greater than the duty cycle threshold corresponding to the maximum duty cycle capability information, power backoff is performed to ensure that the electromagnetic radiation of the transmitted signal does not adversely affect the user.

[0093] Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart of another monitoring and control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5 As shown, the method also includes:

[0094] In step S501, in response to the current power level being higher than the level threshold and the indication information not being received, monitoring the uplink duty cycle;

[0095] In step S502, in response to the monitored uplink duty cycle being greater than the duty cycle threshold corresponding to the maximum duty cycle capability information, power backoff is performed.

[0096] In one embodiment, when the current power level of the terminal is high (for example, higher than the level threshold), if no indication information is received from the base station, it can be determined that the base station has not enabled the target control strategy to ensure that the uplink duty cycle of the terminal does not exceed the duty cycle threshold. Therefore, the terminal is required to autonomously monitor the uplink duty cycle. When the monitored uplink duty cycle is greater than the duty cycle threshold corresponding to the maximum duty cycle capability information, power backoff is performed to ensure that the electromagnetic radiation of the transmitted signal does not adversely affect the user.

[0097] Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart of another monitoring and control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 6 As shown, the method also includes:

[0098] In step S601, in response to power backoff being performed, the power backoff value is reduced.

[0099] In one embodiment, when the terminal has performed power backoff (for example, power backoff is performed according to the maximum allowed user power backoff), if an indication message is received to determine that the base station has enabled the target control strategy, because the terminal has performed power backoff, the impact of the electromagnetic radiation of the transmitted signal on the user can be reduced to a certain extent, and the base station enabling the target control strategy can also ensure that the electromagnetic radiation of the transmitted signal does not have an adverse effect on the user. Therefore, in this case, it is equivalent to the strategy on the base station side being able to ensure that the electromagnetic radiation of the transmitted signal does not have an adverse effect on the user, so the terminal side can appropriately reduce the power backoff value to ensure better communication quality.

[0100] Figure 7 It is a schematic flow chart of a control indication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The control indication method shown in this embodiment can be applied to base stations, including but not limited to base stations in communication systems such as 4G base stations, 5G base stations, and 6G base stations. The base station can communicate with a terminal as a user device, including but not limited to a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a wearable device, a sensor, an Internet of Things device, and other communication devices.

[0101] In one embodiment, the terminal may be a terminal to which the monitoring and control method described in any of the above embodiments is applicable.

[0102] like Figure 7 As shown, the control indication method may include the following steps:

[0103] In step S701, an indication message is sent to the terminal, wherein the indication message is used to indicate that the base station has enabled a target control strategy, and the target control strategy is that the base station controls the uplink resources of the terminal within a target time window according to the maximum duty cycle capability information of the terminal. For example, the indication message may occupy 1 bit, and when the bit is 1, it indicates that the base station has enabled the target control strategy, and when the bit is 0, it indicates that the base station has enabled the target control strategy.

[0104] In one embodiment, the base station may receive at least one of the following from the terminal: a power headroom report, a configured maximum user equipment output power, and a maximum allowed user power backoff.

[0105] The base station may determine whether to enable the target control strategy based on at least one of the information. For example, the target control strategy is enabled in response to at least one of the following being met: the power headroom report is less than the power headroom threshold; the configured maximum user equipment output power is greater than the output power threshold; the maximum allowed user power backoff is greater than the backoff power threshold.

[0106] For example, when it is determined that the power headroom report of the terminal is small (for example, less than the power headroom threshold), the target control strategy can be enabled. Since the power headroom report of the terminal is small, it can be determined that the terminal needs less uplink transmission information, so even if the target control strategy is enabled to control the uplink duty cycle to decrease and the uplink resources to decrease, the terminal can complete the uplink transmission in a shorter time.

[0107] For example, when the configured maximum user equipment output power is large (for example, greater than the output power threshold), the target control strategy can be enabled. Since the configured maximum user equipment output power of the terminal is large, it can be determined that the output power adopted by the terminal is large, which is more likely to cause electromagnetic radiation to affect the user, so the target control strategy can be enabled to control the uplink duty cycle to decrease, so as to reduce the impact of electromagnetic radiation on the user.

[0108] For example, when the maximum user power backoff is large (for example, greater than the backoff power threshold), the target control strategy can be enabled. Since the maximum user power backoff of the terminal is large, it can be determined that the terminal needs to perform a large degree of power backoff, so its output power should be large, which is more likely to cause electromagnetic radiation to affect the user, so the target control strategy can be enabled to control the uplink duty cycle to reduce, so as to reduce the impact of electromagnetic radiation on the user.

[0109] It should be noted that the base station can determine whether to enable the target control strategy based on one of the above three items of information alone, or the base station can determine whether to enable the target control strategy based on two or three of the above three items of information in combination, for example, by performing a weighted sum of the values ​​of multiple pieces of information and determining whether to enable the target control strategy based on the sum result.

[0110] In one embodiment, the base station enables a target control strategy, specifically, the base station controls the uplink resources of the terminal within a target time window so that the uplink duty cycle of the terminal within the target time window is less than a duty cycle threshold determined according to the maximum duty cycle capability information of the terminal.

[0111] Among them, the base station controls the uplink resources of the terminal, which can be for the uplink resources of the communication in FDD mode or for the uplink resources of the communication in TDD mode. For example, for the control of the uplink resources of the communication in FDD mode, it can specifically control certain frequency domain resources (such as carriers, component carriers, bandwidth parts, etc.) on certain time domain units (such as symbols, time slots, subframes, etc.) not to perform uplink transmission, instead of directly adjusting the uplink and downlink configurations, and not sending the uplink and downlink configuration information after enabling the target control strategy to the terminal.

[0112] In one embodiment, after enabling the target control strategy, the base station can send an indication message to the terminal to inform the terminal that the base station has enabled the target control strategy. The base station can control the uplink resources of the terminal within the target time window to ensure that within the target time window, the uplink duty cycle of the terminal does not exceed the duty cycle threshold corresponding to the maximum duty cycle capability information of the terminal.

[0113] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, after enabling the target control strategy, the base station may send indication information to the terminal to inform the terminal that the base station has enabled the target control strategy. Accordingly, the terminal may determine that the base station has enabled the target control strategy, so that the uplink duty cycle of the terminal will not exceed the duty cycle threshold corresponding to the maximum duty cycle capability information of the terminal, and even if the terminal monitors the uplink duty cycle, the monitored uplink duty cycle will not exceed the duty cycle threshold corresponding to the maximum duty cycle capability information of the terminal, so the terminal may stop monitoring (e.g., stop monitoring within the target time window) the uplink duty cycle, which is conducive to saving resources of the terminal.

[0114] In one embodiment, the target time window may be pre-defined by the protocol or configured by the base station to the terminal. For example, the target time window may be a specified starting point within each wireless frame and last for a period of time. The specified starting point and duration may be configured as needed, for example, lasting 10 milliseconds.

[0115] Figure 8 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart of another control indication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 8As shown, the method also includes:

[0116] In step S801, the duty cycle threshold corresponding to the maximum duty cycle capability signal of the terminal is determined; wherein the target control strategy is that the base station controls the uplink resources of the terminal within a target time window so that the uplink duty cycle of the terminal within the target time window is less than the duty cycle threshold.

[0117] In one embodiment, the base station can determine the duty cycle threshold corresponding to the maximum duty cycle capability information of the terminal, and then formulate a specific target control strategy based on the determined duty cycle threshold. For example, the target control strategy can be set so that the base station controls the uplink resources of the terminal within the target time window, so that the uplink duty cycle of the terminal within the target time window is less than the duty cycle threshold determined based on the maximum duty cycle capability information of the terminal.

[0118] Fig. 9 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart of another control indication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 9 As shown, the duty cycle threshold corresponding to the maximum duty cycle capability signal of the terminal is determined to include:

[0119] In step S901, the duty cycle threshold is determined according to the maximum duty cycle capability information from the terminal; or in response to not receiving the maximum duty cycle capability information from the terminal, the duty cycle threshold is determined according to default maximum duty cycle capability information.

[0120] In one embodiment, the terminal can send its maximum duty cycle capability information to the base station. The duty cycle threshold corresponding to the maximum duty cycle capability information is the maximum value of the uplink duty cycle allowed by the terminal. If the uplink duty cycle exceeds the threshold, it may affect the user.

[0121] Alternatively, when the base station does not receive the maximum duty cycle capability information from the terminal, if it is necessary to determine the target control strategy based on the duty cycle threshold, the duty cycle threshold can be determined based on the default maximum duty cycle capability information. For example, the duty cycle threshold determined based on the default maximum duty cycle capability information can be 50%.

[0122] Fig.10 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart of another control indication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig.10 As shown, the method also includes:

[0123] In step S1001, the effective time of the target control strategy is sent to the terminal.

[0124] In one embodiment, after formulating the target control strategy, the base station may also determine the effective time of the target control strategy, and then send the effective time to the terminal.

[0125] After receiving the effective time, the terminal can maintain the current power level within the effective time, for example, it can maintain a power level higher than the level threshold. Because during the effective time, the base station can enable the target control strategy to ensure that the uplink duty cycle of the terminal does not exceed the duty cycle threshold, thereby avoiding the impact of electromagnetic radiation on the user, so even if the terminal transmits a high power, the terminal's target control strategy can still be achieved, so the current power level can be maintained within the effective time, which is conducive to ensuring relatively good communication quality.

[0126] In one embodiment, the terminal may also stop monitoring the uplink duty cycle within the effective time. Outside the effective time, since the base station has stopped the target control strategy, the uplink duty cycle may exceed the duty cycle threshold. Therefore, the terminal continues to monitor the uplink duty cycle, and when the monitored uplink duty cycle is greater than the duty cycle threshold corresponding to the maximum duty cycle capability information, power backoff is performed to ensure that the electromagnetic radiation of the transmitted signal does not adversely affect the user.
