Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to an information transmission method, resource scheduling method, apparatus, terminal, and network-side equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, whether to use the direct communication interface SL DRX (Discontinuous Reception) and / or DTX (Discontinuous Transmission) mechanisms for direct communication multicast and broadcast depends on the sending terminal. For example, if the sending terminal determines that the data to be sent is simultaneously targeted at terminals supporting Rel-17 and Rel-16 versions, it may not use SL DRX; if the sending terminal determines that the data to be sent is only targeted at terminals supporting Rel-17 versions, it may use SL DRX.
[0003] Since the use of SL DRX / DTX depends entirely on the transmitting terminal and is unknown to the network-side device, for a terminal in RRC (Radio Resource Control) connection state and using the network scheduling resource allocation mode (mode 1) for a direct communication interface transmitting terminal, the network-side device cannot accurately determine the active time of the terminal's DRX and / or DTX on the direct communication interface. Therefore, it cannot reasonably schedule the resources of the direct communication interface, which may lead to a decrease in the resource utilization of the direct communication interface. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an information transmission method, resource scheduling method, apparatus, terminal, and network-side device to solve the problem that the network-side device cannot reasonably schedule direct communication interface resources because it cannot accurately determine the DRX and / or DTX activation time of the terminal on the direct communication interface.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, embodiments of the present invention provide an information transmission method, including:
[0006] The terminal sends indication information to the network-side device, the indication information being used to indicate the terminal's usage of the direct communication interface SL DRX and / or SL DTX.
[0007] The content of the indication information includes one of the following:
[0008] Whether the terminal uses SL DRX and / or SL DTX in the direct communication interface;
[0009] For each target address of the terminal direct communication interface, indicate whether the target address uses SLDRX and / or SLDTX;

[0012] For each target address under the terminal direct communication interface, indicate whether the QoS profile uses SL DRX and / or SL DTX;

[0021] The terminal direct communication interface uses a list of QoS profiles that do not use SL DRX and / or SL DTX for each target address.

[0032] Each QoS profile of the terminal direct communication interface is identified by one of the following identification methods:
[0033] Use the proximity quality identifier (PQI) corresponding to the QoS profile as the identifier for the QoS profile;

[0042] The terminal receives a Tx profile configured by a higher layer, and generates the indication information based on the Tx profile.

[0191] In this embodiment of the invention, the term "and / or" describes the relationship between associated objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, or B existing alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following associated objects have an "or" relationship.
[0192] In the embodiments of this application, the term "multiple" refers to two or more, and other quantifiers are similar.
[0193] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0194] It should be noted that in traditional cellular network communication, the terminal and network-side equipment transmit uplink / downlink data and control information through the Uu interface.
[0195] The DRX mechanism of the Uu interface in the cellular communication system is as follows:
[0196] In a shared-channel mobile communication system, the transmission of uplink and downlink data is controlled by the base station scheduler. When the scheduler determines to schedule a user, it will notify the terminal via the control channel on which resources to send or receive data.
[0197] The terminal (UE) listens to the control channel. When it detects scheduling information containing its own information, it completes data transmission or reception according to the instructions on the control channel. In the active state, since the terminal is unsure when the base station (eNB) will schedule it, a common operating mode is as follows:
[0198] The terminal continuously listens to the control channel and parses each subframe containing its downlink scheduling control channel to determine whether it has been scheduled.
[0199] This working method can achieve high efficiency when the terminal data volume is large and may be frequently scheduled. However, for some services, the data arrival frequency is low, resulting in fewer times the terminal is scheduled. If the terminal still continuously listens to the control channel, it will undoubtedly increase its power consumption.
[0200] To address the power consumption issue, cellular network communication systems employ the DRX operating mode. In this mode, the terminal periodically listens to the control channel, thereby achieving power saving.
[0201] The basic principles of DRX will be introduced below to facilitate a better understanding of the method of this invention.
[0202] like Figure 1 As shown, On Duration represents the time period during which the UE listens to the control channel, during which the radio frequency channel is open and continuously listens to the control channel. Outside of On Duration (Opportunity for DRX), the UE is in Sleep mode, its radio frequency link is turned off, and it no longer listens to the control channel to save power. On Duration occurs periodically (Cycle), and the specific cycle is configured by the eNB.
[0203] It should be noted that the DRX mechanism of cellular networks takes into account the arrival model of data services, that is, the arrival of data packets is bursty (which can be understood as, once a data packet arrives, a large number of packets will arrive in a short period of time). To adapt to this service arrival characteristic, the LTE DRX process uses a variety of timers and combines them with the HARQ (Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest) process to achieve better power saving performance.
[0204] Regarding DRX-related timers:
[0205] 1) drx-onDurationTimer: The time during which the UE periodically wakes up to listen to the control channel;
[0206] 2) Short DRX cycle Timer: To better accommodate the characteristics of data service arrival, cellular network communication systems support configuring two DRX cycles: long cycle and short cycle.
[0207] Both cycles have the same onDurationTimer, but different sleep durations. In the short cycle, the sleep duration is relatively shorter, allowing the UE to listen to the control channel again more quickly. The long cycle is mandatory and is the initial state of the DRX procedure; the short cycle is optional. The short DRX cycle Timer sets the duration of the short cycle. After the short DRX cycle Timer expires, the UE will use the long cycle.
[0208] 3) drx-InactivityTimer: After DRX is configured, when the UE receives the control signaling for the initial HARQ transmission within the allowed active time period for listening to the control channel, this timer is started. The UE continuously listens to the control channel until this timer expires. If the UE receives the control signaling for the initial HARQ transmission before the drx-InactivityTimer expires, it will terminate and restart the drx-InactivityTimer.
[0209] 4) HARQ RTT Timer: This timer is divided into drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerDL and drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerUL. The purpose is to enable the UE to not listen to the control channel before the next retransmission, so as to achieve better power saving effect.
[0210] For example, the following behavior will start this timer when the first symbol after the PUCCH transmission of the UE-related process begins. If the data in the corresponding HARQ process fails to be decoded after the previous HARQ transmission (UE reports NACK), the UE will start drx-RetransmissionTimerDL after drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerDL times out.
[0211] If the data in the corresponding HARQ process was successfully decoded after the previous HARQ transmission (UE feedback ACK), the UE will not start drx-RetransmissionTimerDL after the drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerDL timer expires.
[0212] If only drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerDL is running, the UE does not listen to the control channel.
[0213] 5) HARQ Retransmission Timer: Divided into drx-RetransmissionTimerDL or drx-RetransmissionTimerUL.
[0214] The following is an example: during the operation of drx-RetransmissionTimerDL, the UE listens for control signaling and waits for the retransmission scheduling of the corresponding HARQ process.
[0215] As can be seen from the above process, the UE will listen to the control channel as long as any one of the On duration Timer, HARQ Retransmission Timer, and Inactivity Timer is running. The time during which the UE listens to the control channel is also called Active Time. In the LTE system, Active Time is affected by factors other than the DRXtimer. The Active Time of an LTE UE includes the following:
[0216] The runtime of drx-onDurationTimer, drx-InactivityTimer, drx-RetransmissionTimerDL, drx-RetransmissionTimerUL, or ra-ContentionResolutionTimer;
[0217] The time the UE waits for the base station to send the PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel) after sending the uplink SR (Scheduling Request);
[0218] The time a non-contention-based random access UE waits for the PDCCH scheduled by C-RNTI after receiving the RAR (Random Access Response).
[0219] It should also be noted that direct communication refers to a method in which nearby terminals can transmit data within a short distance via a direct communication link (also known as a sidelink). The wireless interface corresponding to the sidelink link is called the direct communication interface, or simply the sidelink interface.
[0220] Among them, the direct communication interface resource allocation mode is divided into two types:
[0221] Network scheduling resource allocation mode (also known as mode 1): that is, the network-side equipment allocates resources for the terminal to use for direct communication interface data transmission;
[0222] Terminal-selected resource allocation mode (also known as mode 2): This means that the terminal selects direct communication sending resources from the resource pool available for the direct communication interface.
[0223] Under the current mechanism, whether to use SL DRX / DTX for direct communication multicast and broadcast depends on the sending UE, which the network does not know. Therefore, for UEs in RRC connected state that use the network-scheduled resource allocation mode (mode 1) for direct communication interface transmission, the network-side equipment cannot accurately determine the activation time of DRX and / or DTX of the terminal on the direct communication interface, thus making it impossible to reasonably schedule direct communication interface resources for the terminal.
[0224] To address the aforementioned issues, embodiments of this application provide a resource scheduling method and apparatus. The method and apparatus are based on the same concept. Since the methods and apparatus solve problems in similar ways, their implementations can be mutually referenced, and repeated details will not be elaborated upon.
[0225] like Figure 2 The diagram shown is a flowchart of a resource scheduling method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, applied to a terminal, and includes:
[0226] Step 201: The terminal sends an indication message to the network-side device, the indication message being used to indicate the terminal's usage of the direct communication interface SL DRX and / or SL DTX.
[0227] Here, the terminal is a pass-through link terminal using network scheduling resource allocation mode (mode 1).
[0228] It should be noted that the indication information is used to indicate the terminal's usage of the direct communication interface SL DRX and / or SL DTX. Specifically, the indication information is used to indicate whether the target object related to the direct communication with the terminal is using SL DRX and / or SL DTX, wherein the target object includes one of the following:
[0229] Direct communication interface;
[0230] Direct communication interface target address;
[0231] List of target addresses for direct communication interfaces;
[0232] Direct communication interface QoS profile or QoS profile list;
[0233] A QoS profile or a list of QoS profiles for each target address on the direct communication interface.
[0234] Thus, based on this indication information, the activation time of the terminal's DRX and / or DTX on the direct communication interface can be accurately determined, thereby enabling reasonable scheduling of the direct communication interface for the terminal and improving the resource utilization of the direct communication interface.
[0235] The resource scheduling method of this invention involves a terminal sending indication information to a network-side device. The indication information is used to indicate the terminal's usage of the direct communication interfaces SL DRX and / or SL DTX, so that the network-side device can reasonably schedule the direct communication interfaces of the terminal and improve the resource utilization of the direct communication interfaces.
[0236] Optionally, the content of the indication information includes one of the following:
[0237] Whether the terminal uses SL DRX and / or SL DTX in the direct communication interface;
[0238] For each target address of the terminal direct communication interface, indicate whether the target address uses SLDRX and / or SLDTX;
[0239] For each service quality configuration QoS profile of the terminal direct communication interface, the QoS profile indicates whether to use SL DRX and / or SL DTX;
[0240] For each QoS profile list of the terminal direct communication interface, indicate whether the QoS profile list uses SL DRX and / or SL DTX;
[0241] For each target address under the terminal direct communication interface, indicate whether the QoS profile uses SL DRX and / or SL DTX;
[0242] For each target address under the terminal direct communication interface, each QoS profile list is indicated to determine whether the QoS profile list uses SL DRX and / or SL DTX;
[0243] The terminal uses a direct communication interface target address list of SL DRX and / or SL DTX;
[0244] The terminal does not use the direct communication interface target address list of SL DRX and / or SL DTX;
[0245] The terminal uses the QoS profile of the direct communication interface SL DRX and / or SL DTX.
[0246] The terminal uses a list of QoS profiles for the direct communication interface of SL DRX and / or SL DTX.
[0247] The terminal does not use the direct communication interface QoS profile of SL DRX and / or SL DTX;
[0248] The terminal does not use the QoS profile list of the direct communication interface of SL DRX and / or SL DTX;
[0249] The terminal direct communication interface uses a list of QoS profiles for each target address, including SL DRX and / or SL DTX.
[0250] The terminal direct communication interface uses a list of QoS profiles that do not use SL DRX and / or SL DTX for each target address.
[0251] Optionally, the indication information is determined by the terminal based on the transmission configuration (Tx profile) configured by the terminal's higher-level layer.
[0252] Here, the higher layer of the terminal sends the Tx profile to the lower layer of the terminal.
[0253] Optionally, the terminal's higher layer is the prose layer, and the terminal's lower layer is the RRC layer.
[0254] Specifically, the content of the Tx profile includes one of the following:
[0255] The correspondence between the service types and protocol versions of the terminal direct communication interface;
[0256] The correspondence between the terminal direct communication interface services and protocol versions;
[0257] The protocol version used by the terminal when sending data through the direct communication interface;
[0258] For each target address of the terminal direct communication interface, the correspondence between the target address and the protocol version is indicated;
[0259] For each QoS profile of the terminal direct communication interface, the correspondence between the QoS profile and the protocol version is indicated;
[0260] For each QoS profile list of the terminal direct communication interface, the correspondence between the QoS profile list and the protocol version is indicated;
[0261] For each target address under the terminal direct communication interface, the correspondence between the QoS profile and the protocol version is indicated respectively.
[0262] For each target address under the direct communication interface of the terminal, each QoS profile list indicates the correspondence between the QoS profile list and the protocol version.
[0263] It should be noted that the service type can be PSID (Provider Service Identifier) or ITS-AID (Intelligent Transportation System-Application Identifier).
[0264] The protocol version can be 3GPP Rel-16, Rel-17, etc.
[0265] Here, the QoS profile for NR systems can be identified using 5QI, or other QoS parameters.
[0266] Optionally, each QoS profile of the terminal direct communication interface is identified using one of the following identification methods:
[0267] Use the proximity quality identifier (PQI) corresponding to the QoS profile as the identifier for the QoS profile;
[0268] When the terminal configures the QoS profile using SL DRX and / or SL DTX according to the System Information Block (SIB), the order in which the QoS profile appears in the SIB determines the number of the QoS profile, and the number is used as the identifier of the QoS profile.
[0269] The terminal receives SIB or dedicated signaling from the network-side device and uses the QoS profile number indicated in the SIB or dedicated signaling as the identifier of the QoS profile.
[0270] Optionally, the indication information may be carried in any of the following ways:
[0271] SidelinkUEInformation message for direct link user information;
[0272] Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling;
[0273] Media Access Control Unit (MAC CE)
[0274] As an optional implementation, the conditions that trigger the terminal to send indication information to the network-side device include one of the following:
[0275] The indication information is carried in the SidelinkUEInformation message, and the terminal meets the sending conditions of the SidelinkUEInformation message;
[0276] The terminal receives a Tx profile configured by a higher layer, and generates the indication information based on the Tx profile.
[0277] Newly arriving service flows are assigned to a new QoS profile;
[0278] Newly arriving QoS flows are assigned to a new QoS profile list;
[0279] The QoS flow belonging to the first QoS profile ends data transmission. The first QoS profile is one of all QoS profiles under the first target address of the terminal direct communication interface. The first target address is one of all target addresses of the terminal direct communication interface.
[0280] All QoS flows belonging to the first QoS profile list end data transmission. The first QoS profile list is one of all QoS profile lists under the second target address of the terminal direct communication interface. The second target address is one of all target addresses of the terminal direct communication interface.
[0281] The state of whether the second QoS profile uses SL DRX and / or SL DTX changes. The second QoS profile is one of all QoS profiles under the third target address of the terminal direct communication interface. The third target address is one of all target addresses of the terminal direct communication interface.
[0282] The status of whether the second QoS profile list uses SL DRX and / or SL DTX changes. The second QoS profile list is one of all QoS profile lists under the fourth target address of the terminal direct communication interface. The fourth target address is one of all target addresses of the terminal direct communication interface.
[0283] Implemented based on the aforementioned terminal.
[0284] Here, the terminal determines when to send indication information to the network-side device based on its own implementation. "Based on its own implementation" means determining this based on the terminal's own design.
[0285] It should be noted that if the indication information includes content related to the QoS profile, the conditions that trigger the terminal to send the indication information to the network-side device may include one of the above.
[0286] If the indication information does not include content related to the QoS profile, the conditions that trigger the terminal to send the indication information to the network-side device include one of the following:
[0287] The indication information is carried in the SidelinkUEInformation message, and the terminal meets the sending conditions of the SidelinkUEInformation message;
[0288] The terminal receives a Tx profile configured by a higher layer, and generates the indication information based on the Tx profile.
[0289] Implemented based on the aforementioned terminal.
[0290] The information transmission method of this invention involves a terminal sending indication information to a network-side device. The indication information is used to indicate the terminal's usage status in the direct communication interfaces SL DRX and / or SL DTX, enabling the network-side device to reasonably schedule the direct communication interfaces of the terminal and improve the resource utilization of the direct communication interfaces.
[0291] like Figure 3 The diagram shown is a flowchart of a resource scheduling method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, applied to a network-side device, and includes:
[0292] Step 301: The network-side device receives the instruction information sent by the terminal;
[0293] Here, the terminal is a pass-through link terminal using network scheduling resource allocation mode (mode 1).
[0294] It should be noted that the indication information is used to indicate the terminal's usage of the direct communication interface SL DRX and / or SL DTX. Specifically, the indication information is used to indicate whether the target object related to the direct communication with the terminal is using SL DRX and / or SL DTX, wherein the target object includes one of the following:
[0295] Direct communication interface;
[0296] Direct communication interface target address;
[0297] List of target addresses for direct communication interfaces;
[0298] Direct communication interface QoS profile or QoS profile list;
[0299] A QoS profile or a list of QoS profiles for each target address on the direct communication interface.
[0300] Step 302: The network-side device performs scheduling of the direct communication interface for the terminal according to the instruction information.
[0301] In this step, based on the indication information, the network-side device can accurately determine the DRX and / or DTX activation time of the terminal on the direct communication interface, thereby reasonably scheduling the direct communication interface for the terminal and improving the resource utilization of the direct communication interface.
[0302] The resource scheduling method of this invention receives instruction information sent by a terminal through a network-side device, and performs scheduling of the direct communication interface for the terminal according to the instruction information, thereby enabling reasonable scheduling of the direct communication interface for the terminal and improving the resource utilization rate of the direct communication interface.
[0303] Optionally, the content of the indication information includes one of the following:
[0304] Whether the terminal uses SL DRX and / or SL DTX in the direct communication interface;
[0305] For each target address of the terminal direct communication interface, indicate whether the target address uses SLDRX and / or SLDTX;
[0306] For each service quality configuration QoS profile of the terminal direct communication interface, the QoS profile indicates whether to use SL DRX and / or SL DTX;
[0307] For each QoS profile list of the terminal direct communication interface, indicate whether the QoS profile list uses SL DRX and / or SL DTX;
[0308] For each target address under the terminal direct communication interface, indicate whether the QoS profile uses SL DRX and / or SL DTX;
[0309] For each target address under the terminal direct communication interface, each QoS profile list is indicated to determine whether the QoS profile list uses SL DRX and / or SL DTX;
[0310] The terminal uses a direct communication interface target address list of SL DRX and / or SL DTX;
[0311] The terminal does not use the direct communication interface target address list of SL DRX and / or SL DTX;
[0312] The terminal uses the QoS profile of the direct communication interface SL DRX and / or SL DTX.
[0313] The terminal uses a list of QoS profiles for the direct communication interface of SL DRX and / or SL DTX.
[0314] The terminal does not use the direct communication interface QoS profile of SL DRX and / or SL DTX;
[0315] The terminal does not use the QoS profile list of the direct communication interface of SL DRX and / or SL DTX;
[0316] The terminal direct communication interface uses a list of QoS profiles for each target address, including SL DRX and / or SL DTX.
[0317] The terminal direct communication interface uses a list of QoS profiles that do not use SL DRX and / or SL DTX for each target address.
[0318] As an optional implementation, in step 302, the network-side device performs scheduling of the direct communication interface for the terminal according to the indication information, including:
[0319] If, based on the indicated information, it is determined that the terminal uses SL DRX and / or SL DTX on the direct communication interface, then for each target address of the terminal and each QoS profile or QoS profile list, the corresponding SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration is determined.
[0320] It should be noted that if it is determined that the terminal uses SL DRX on the direct communication interface, then for each target address of the terminal, the corresponding SL DRX configuration is determined for each QoS profile or QoS profile list.
[0321] If it is determined that the terminal uses SL DTX on the direct communication interface, then for each target address of the terminal, determine the corresponding SL DTX configuration for each QoS profile or QoS profile list.
[0322] If it is determined that the terminal uses SL DRX and SL DTX on the direct communication interface, then for each target address of the terminal, determine the corresponding SL DRX configuration and SL DTX configuration for each QoS profile or QoS profile list.
[0323] The explanation of the meaning of "and / or" in the following embodiments can be found in that embodiment, and will not be repeated hereafter.
[0324] Based on the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration, determine the SL DRX activation time and / or SL DTX activation time corresponding to each QoS profile or QoS profile list under each target address of the terminal;
[0325] This step is detailed as follows:
[0326] Based on the SL DRX configuration, determine the SL DRX activation time corresponding to each QoS profile or QoS profile list under each target address of the terminal;
[0327] Based on the SL DTX configuration, determine the SL DTX activation time corresponding to each QoS profile or QoS profile list under each target address of the terminal;
[0328] Based on the SL DRX configuration and SL DTX configuration, determine the SL DRX activation time and SL DTX activation time corresponding to each QoS profile or QoS profile list under each target address of the terminal.
[0329] Here, SL DRX activation time refers to the time during which the terminal is allowed to listen to the control channel and / or receive data on the direct communication interface.
[0330] SL DTX activation time refers to the time during which the terminal is allowed to send control information and / or data through the direct communication interface.
[0331] In this way, network devices can accurately determine the DRX and / or DTX activation time of the terminal on the direct communication interface.
[0332] Based on the SL DRX activation time and / or SL DTX activation time corresponding to each QoS profile or QoS profile list under each target address, the direct communication interface logical channels belonging to the QoS profile or QoS profile list are scheduled respectively.
[0333] Here, the network-side device can accurately determine the SL DRX and / or SL DTX activation times corresponding to each QoS profile or QoS profile list under each target address of the terminal's direct communication interface based on the indication information. The network-side device can then reasonably schedule the direct communication interface for the terminal, thereby improving the resource utilization of the direct communication interface.
[0334] As an optional implementation, in step 302, the network-side device, based on the indication information, performs scheduling of the direct communication interface for the terminal, including:
[0335] If, based on the indication information, it is determined that at least some target addresses of the terminal's direct communication interface use SL DRX and / or SL DTX, or based on the indication information, a list of target addresses of the terminal's direct communication interface using SL DRX and / or SL DTX is determined, then for each target address of the terminal using SL DRX and / or SL DTX, for each QoS profile or QoS profile list, the corresponding SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration is determined.
[0336] Here, depending on the actual situation, some target addresses may need to use SL DRX and / or SL DTX, while some target addresses may not use SL DRX and / or SL DTX.
[0337] Alternatively, based on the actual situation, determine the list of target addresses for the direct communication interfaces of the terminal using SL DRX and / or SL DTX, according to the indication information.
[0338] Based on the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration, determine the SL DRX activation time and / or SL DTX activation time corresponding to each QoS profile or QoS profile list under each target address where the terminal uses SL DRX and / or SL DTX;
[0339] Here, SL DRX activation time refers to the time during which the terminal is allowed to listen to the control channel and / or receive data on the direct communication interface.
[0340] SL DTX activation time refers to the time during which the terminal is allowed to send control information and / or data through the direct communication interface.
[0341] In this way, network devices can accurately determine the DRX and / or DTX activation time of the terminal on the direct communication interface.
[0342] Based on the SL DRX activation time and / or SL DTX activation time corresponding to each QoS profile or QoS profile list under each target address of the terminal using SL DRX and / or SL DTX, the direct communication interface logical channels belonging to the QoS profile or QoS profile list are scheduled respectively.
[0343] Here, based on the accurately determined time that the terminal is allowed to listen to the control channel on the direct communication interface, that is, the SL DRX activation time and / or SL DTX activation time corresponding to each QoS profile or QoS profile list under each target address of the terminal using SL DRX and / or SL DTX, the network-side device can reasonably perform direct communication interface scheduling for the terminal and improve the resource utilization of the direct communication interface.
[0344] As an optional implementation, in step 302, the network-side device, based on the indication information, performs scheduling of the direct communication interface for the terminal, including:
[0345] If, according to the indication information, it is determined that at least some QoS profiles or QoS profile lists of the terminal's direct communication interface use SL DRX and / or SL DTX, or according to the indication information, it is determined that the terminal uses SL DRX and / or SL DTX for its direct communication interface QoS profiles or QoS profile lists, then for each QoS profile or QoS profile list using SL DRX and / or SL DTX under each target address of the terminal, its corresponding SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration is determined.
[0346] Here, depending on the actual situation, some QoS profiles or QoS profile lists may need to use SLDRX and / or SL DTX, while others may not use SL DRX and / or SL DTX.
[0347] Based on the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration, determine the SL DRX activation time and / or SL DTX activation time corresponding to each QoS profile or QoS profile list using SL DRX and / or SL DTX under each target address of the terminal;
[0348] Here, SL DRX activation time refers to the time during which the terminal is allowed to listen to the control channel and / or receive data on the direct communication interface.
[0349] SL DTX activation time refers to the time during which the terminal is allowed to send control information and / or data through the direct communication interface.
[0350] In this way, network devices can accurately determine the DRX and / or DTX activation time of the terminal on the direct communication interface.
[0351] Based on the SL DRX activation time and / or SL DTX activation time corresponding to each QoS profile or QoS profile list using SL DRX and / or SL DTX under each target address of the terminal, the direct communication interface logical channels belonging to the QoS profile or QoS profile list are scheduled respectively.
[0352] Here, the network-side device can accurately determine the SL DRX activation time and / or SL DTX activation time corresponding to each QoS profile or QoS profile list using SL DRX and / or SL DTX under each target address of the terminal's direct communication interface based on the indication information. This ensures that the network-side device can reasonably schedule the direct communication interface for the terminal and improve the resource utilization of the direct communication interface.
[0353] As an optional implementation, in step 302, the network-side device, based on the indication information, performs scheduling of the direct communication interface for the terminal, including:
[0354] If, based on the indication information, it is determined that at least some target addresses of the terminal direct communication interface use SL DRX and / or SL DTX for some QoS profiles or QoS profile lists, or based on the indication information, each target address of the terminal direct communication interface uses a QoS profile list that uses SL DRX and / or SL DTX, then for the QoS profiles or QoS profile lists of the target addresses where the terminal uses SL DRX and / or SL DTX, determine their corresponding SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration:
[0355] Here, depending on the actual situation, the terminal may only use SL DRX and / or SL DTX for a portion of the QoS profiles or QoS profile lists in a portion of the target addresses, while another portion of the terminal's QoS profiles or QoS profile lists may not use SL DRX and / or SL DTX. Based on the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration, determine the SL DRX activation time and / or SL DTX activation time corresponding to the QoS profiles or QoS profile lists under the target addresses where the terminal uses SL DRX and / or SL DTX.
[0356] Here, SL DRX activation time refers to the time during which the terminal is allowed to listen to the control channel and / or receive data on the direct communication interface.
[0357] SL DTX activation time refers to the time during which the terminal is allowed to send control information and / or data through the direct communication interface.
[0358] In this way, network devices can accurately determine the DRX and / or DTX activation time of the terminal on the direct communication interface.
[0359] Based on the SL DRX activation time and / or SL DTX activation time corresponding to the QoS profile or QoS profile list under the target address used by the terminal using SL DRX and / or SL DTX, the direct communication interface logical channels belonging to the QoS profile or QoS profile list are scheduled respectively.
[0360] Here, the network device can determine, based on the indication information, which QoS profiles or QoS profile lists under which target addresses of the direct communication interface use SL DRX and / or SL DTX. Therefore, based on the SL DRX and / or DTX configuration, the SL DRX activation time and / or SL DTX activation time corresponding to the QoS profiles or QoS profile lists under the target addresses using SL DRX and / or SL DTX can be determined. This ensures that the network-side device can reasonably schedule the direct communication interface for the terminal, improving the resource utilization of the direct communication interface.
[0361] As an optional implementation, in step 302, the network-side device, based on the indication information, performs scheduling of the direct communication interface for the terminal, including:
[0362] If, according to the indication information, it is determined that the terminal does not use SL DRX and / or SL DTX on the direct communication interface, then the logical channel belonging to any direct communication interface of the terminal is scheduled on all available resources of the direct communication interface.
[0363] If, according to the indication information, it is determined that at least some target addresses of the terminal's direct communication interface do not use SLDRX and / or SL DTX, or if, according to the indication information, a list of target addresses of the direct communication interface for which the terminal does not use SL DRX and / or SL DTX is determined, then the logical channels of the direct communication interface belonging to each target address for which the terminal does not use SL DRX and / or SL DTX are scheduled on all available resources of the direct communication interface.
[0364] If, according to the indication information, it is determined that at least some QoS profiles or QoS profile lists of the terminal direct communication interface do not use SL DRX and / or SL DTX, or according to the indication information, it is determined that at least some QoS profiles or QoS profile lists under some target addresses of the terminal direct communication interface do not use SL DRX and / or SL DTX, then the logical channels of the direct communication interface belonging to the QoS profiles or QoS profile lists under the target addresses where the terminal does not use SL DRX and / or SL DTX are scheduled on all available resources of the direct communication interface;
[0365] If, based on the indicated information, it is determined that a direct communication interface QoS profile that does not use SL DRX and / or SL DTX is not used, then the logical channels of the direct communication interface that do not use SL DRX and / or SL DTX under each target address of the terminal are scheduled on all available resources of the direct communication interface.
[0366] If, based on the indicated information, a list of QoS profiles for direct communication interfaces that do not use SL DRX and / or SL DTX is determined, or if, based on the indicated information, a list of QoS profiles for each target address of the terminal's direct communication interface that do not use SL DRX and / or SL DTX is determined, then the logical channels of the direct communication interfaces belonging to the list of QoS profiles for each target address of the terminal that do not use SL DRX and / or SL DTX are scheduled on all available resources of the direct communication interface.
[0367] The resource scheduling method of this invention receives instruction information sent by a terminal through a network-side device, and performs scheduling of the direct communication interface for the terminal according to the instruction information, thereby enabling reasonable scheduling of the direct communication interface for the terminal and improving the resource utilization rate of the direct communication interface.
[0368] The implementation process of the method of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the different contents indicated by the instruction information in the following embodiments.
[0369] Example 1: The content of the indication information includes whether the terminal uses SL DRX and / or SLDTX on the direct communication interface.
[0370] Step S1: The terminal's higher layer sends the configuration Tx profile to the terminal's lower layer;
[0371] Here, Tx profile indicates the version used by the terminal when sending data via the direct communication interface.
[0372] Specifically, the Tx profile indicates the release version used for data transmission via the terminal's direct communication interface.
[0373] If the Tx profile indicates Rel-16, then the terminal needs to use Rel-16 compatible mode for data transmission, meaning the terminal cannot use SL DRX and / or DTX.
[0374] If the Tx profile indicates Rel-17, then the terminal can use Rel-17 mode to send data, that is, the terminal can use SL DRX and / or DTX.
[0375] Step S2: The terminal determines the content of the instruction information;
[0376] Specifically, the indication information is determined based on the Tx profile configured at the higher level.
[0377] The instruction information may be: for a direct communication sending terminal, indicating whether the terminal uses SL DRX and / or DTX in the direct communication interface.
[0378] Step S3: The terminal sends an instruction message to the network-side device;
[0379] Specifically, the precondition for sending the indication information (i.e., the condition that triggers the terminal to send the indication information to the network-side device) can be one of the following:
[0380] a1) If the indication information is carried in a SidelinkUEInformation message, then the existing transmission conditions of the SidelinkUEInformation message are reused;
[0381] If the existing conditions for sending SidelinkUEInformation messages are met, a SidelinkUEInformation message can be sent to the network-side device, and this message carries the aforementioned indication information.
[0382] a2) The terminal receives the Tx profile configured by the higher layer, and the terminal generates indication information based on the Tx profile;
[0383] In other words, after the terminal generates indication information based on the Tx profile, it sends the indication information to the network-side device.
[0384] a3) depends on the terminal implementation.
[0385] Optionally, the signaling used for the indication information may be one of the following:
[0386] Carried via the SidelinkUEInformation message;
[0387] Introducing new RRC signaling;
[0388] Introducing the new MAC CE.
[0389] Step S4: The network-side device receives the instruction information sent by the terminal and performs scheduling of the direct communication interface for the terminal according to the instruction information.
[0390] The indication information includes whether the terminal uses SL DRX and / or SL DTX on the direct communication interface. The behavior of the network-side device is as follows:
[0391] If the terminal uses SL DRX and / or SL DTX on the direct communication interface, the network-side device determines the corresponding SL DRX and / or SL DTX configuration for each QoS profile or QoS profile list under each target address of the terminal.
[0392] Based on the SL DRX and / or SL DTX configuration, determine the SL DRX and / or SL DTX activation time corresponding to each QoS profile or QoS profile list under each target address of the terminal;
[0393] Based on the activation time of SLDRX and / or SLDTX corresponding to each QoS profile or QoS profile list under each target address of the terminal, the direct communication interface logical channels belonging to the QoS profile or QoS profile list are scheduled respectively.
[0394] If the terminal does not use SL DRX and / or SL DTX on the direct communication interface, the network-side device can schedule logical channels belonging to any direct communication interface of the terminal on all available resources of the direct communication interface.
[0395] Example 2: The content of the indication information includes indicating whether each target address of the terminal direct communication interface uses SL DRX and / or SL DTX.
[0396] Step S11: The terminal's higher layer sends the configuration Tx profile to the terminal's lower layer;
[0397] Here, the Tx profile includes: for each target address of the terminal direct communication interface, an indication of the correspondence between the target address and the protocol version.
[0398] Specifically, the Tx profile can indicate the Release version used by the terminal to send direct communication data for each target address.
[0399] If the Tx profile indicates that target address 1 corresponds to Rel-16, then the terminal needs to use Rel-16 compatible mode to send data when sending data to target address 1 through the direct communication interface. That is, the terminal cannot use SL DRX and / or DTX.
[0400] If the Tx profile indicates that target address 2 corresponds to Rel-17, then the terminal can use Rel-17 mode to send data when sending data to target address 2 on the direct communication interface. That is, the terminal can use SL DRX and / or DTX.
[0401] Step S12: The UE determines the content of the indication information;
[0402] Specifically, the indication information is determined based on the Tx profile configured at the higher level.
[0403] The instruction information may include: indicating whether to use SL DRX and / or SL DTX for each target address of the terminal direct communication interface.
[0404] Step S13: The terminal sends an instruction message to the network-side device;
[0405] Specifically, the prerequisite for sending the instruction information may be one of the following:
[0406] b1) If the indication information is carried in a SidelinkUEInformation message, then the existing transmission conditions of the SidelinkUEInformation message are reused;
[0407] b2) The terminal receives the Tx profile configured by the higher layer and generates indication information based on the Tx profile;
[0408] b3) Depends on the terminal implementation;
[0409] Optionally, the signaling used for the indication information may be one of the following:
[0410] Carried via the SidelinkUEInformation message;
[0411] Introducing new RRC signaling;
[0412] Introducing the new MAC CE.
[0413] Step S14: The network-side device receives the instruction information sent by the terminal and performs scheduling of the direct communication interface for the terminal according to the instruction information.
[0414] The indication information includes whether to use SL DRX and / or SL DTX for each target address of the terminal direct communication interface. The behavior of the network-side device is as follows:
[0415] If SL DRX and / or SL DTX are used for at least some of the target addresses of the terminal, the network-side device determines the corresponding SL DRX and / or SL DTX configuration for each QoS profile or QoS profile list under each target address using SL DRX and / or SL DTX.
[0416] Based on the SL DRX and / or SL DTX configuration, determine the SL DRX and / or SL DTX activation time corresponding to each QoS profile or QoS profile list under each target address using SL DRX and / or SL DTX;
[0417] Based on the activation time of the SL DRX and / or SL DTX corresponding to each QoS profile or QoS profile list under each target address using SL DRX and / or SL DTX, the direct communication interface logical channels belonging to the QoS profile or QoS profile list are scheduled respectively.
[0418] If at least some target addresses of the terminal do not use SL DRX and / or SL DTX, the network-side device can schedule the direct communication interface logical channels belonging to each target address where the terminal does not use SL DRX and / or SL DTX on all available resources of the direct communication interface.
[0419] Example 3: The content of the indication information includes whether to use SL DRX and / or SL DTX for each service quality configuration QoS profile or QoS profile list for the direct communication interface of the terminal. Step S101: The terminal higher layer sends the configuration Tx profile to the terminal lower layer.
[0420] Here, the Tx profile includes: for each QoS profile or QoS profile list of the terminal direct communication interface, it indicates the correspondence between the QoS profile and the protocol version.
[0421] If the Tx profile indicates that QoS profile list 1 (specifically, the PQI list) corresponds to Rel-16, then when the terminal sends data belonging to the logical channel of QoS profile list 1 on the direct communication interface, it needs to use Rel-16 compatible mode for data transmission. That is, the terminal cannot use SL DRX and / or DTX.
[0422] If the Tx profile indicates that QoS profile list 2 corresponds to Rel-17, then the terminal can use Rel-17 mode to send data belonging to the logical channel of QoS profile list 2 on the direct communication interface. That is, the terminal can use SL DRX and / or DTX.
[0423] Step S102: The terminal determines the content of the instruction information;
[0424] Specifically, the indication information is determined based on the Tx profile configured at the higher level.
[0425] The indication information may be: for each service quality configuration QoS profile or QoS profile list for the terminal direct communication interface, indicating whether to use SL DRX and / or SL DTX respectively.
[0426] Each QoS profile of the terminal direct communication interface is identified by one of the following methods:
[0427] Use the proximity quality identifier (PQI) corresponding to the QoS profile as the identifier for the QoS profile;
[0428] When the terminal configures the QoS profile using SL DRX and / or SL DTX according to the System Information Block (SIB), the order in which the QoS profile appears in the SIB determines the number of the QoS profile, and the number is used as the identifier of the QoS profile.
[0429] The terminal receives SIB or dedicated signaling from the network-side device and uses the QoS profile number indicated in the SIB or dedicated signaling as the identifier of the QoS profile.
[0430] Step S103: The terminal sends an instruction message to the network-side device;
[0431] Specifically, the prerequisite for sending the instruction information may be one of the following:
[0432] c1) If the indication information is carried in a SidelinkUEInformation message, then the existing transmission conditions of the SidelinkUEInformation message are reused;
[0433] c2) The terminal receives the Tx profile configured by the higher layer and generates indication information based on the Tx profile;
[0434] c3) Newly arriving QoS flows belong to a new QoS profile or a list of QoS profiles;
[0435] c4) All QoS flows belonging to a certain QoS profile or all QoS flows belonging to a certain QoS profile list end data transmission.
[0436] c5) Whether the status of any QoS profile or QoS profile list using SL DRX and / or DTX has changed;
[0437] c6) depends on the terminal implementation.
[0438] Optionally, the signaling used for the indication information may be one of the following:
[0439] Carried via the SidelinkUEInformation message;
[0440] Introducing new RRC signaling;
[0441] Introducing the new MAC CE.
[0442] Step S104: The network-side device receives the instruction information sent by the terminal and performs scheduling of the direct communication interface for the terminal according to the instruction information.
[0443] The indication information includes whether to use SL DRX and / or SL DTX for each service quality configuration QoS profile or QoS profile list for the terminal direct communication interface. The behavior of the network-side device is as follows:
[0444] If SLDRX and / or SL DTX are used for at least part of the QoS profile or QoS profile list for the terminal direct communication interface, the network-side device determines the corresponding SL DRX and / or SL DTX configuration for each QoS profile or QoS profile list that uses SL DRX and / or SL DTX under each target address of the terminal.
[0445] Based on the SL DRX and / or SL DTX configuration, determine the SL DRX and / or SL DTX activation time corresponding to each QoS profile or QoS profile list using SL DRX and / or SLDTX under each target address of the terminal;
[0446] Based on the activation time of SL DRX and / or SL DTX corresponding to each QoS profile or QoS profile list using SL DRX and / or SL DTX under each target address of the terminal, the direct communication interface logical channels belonging to the QoS profile or QoS profile list are scheduled respectively.
[0447] If at least some QoS profiles or QoS profile lists for the terminal direct communication interface do not use SL DRX and / or SL DTX, the network testing device can schedule the logical channels of the direct communication interface corresponding to each QoS profile or QoS profile list that does not use SL DRX and / or SL DTX on all available resources of the direct communication interface.
[0448] Example 4: The content of the indication information includes whether to use SL DRX and / or SL DTX for each QoS profile or QoS profile list under each target address of the terminal direct communication interface.
[0449] Step S1001: The terminal's higher layer sends the configuration Tx profile to the terminal's lower layer;
[0450] Here, Tx profile indicates that the terminal indicates the correspondence between each QoS profile or QoS profile list for each target address of the direct communication interface and the protocol version.
[0451] If the Tx profile indicates that QoS profile list 1 (specifically, the PQI list) under target address 1 corresponds to Rel-16, then when the terminal sends data belonging to the logical channel of QoS profile list 1 under target address 1 on the direct communication interface, it needs to use Rel-16 compatible mode to send data. That is, the terminal cannot use SL DRX and / or DTX.
[0452] If the Tx profile indicates that QoS profile list 2 (specifically, the PQI list) under target address 1 corresponds to Rel-17, then when the terminal sends data belonging to the logical channel of QoS profile list 2 under target address 1 through the direct communication interface, it needs to use Rel-17 mode for data transmission. That is, the terminal cannot use SL DRX and / or DTX.
[0453] Step S1002: The terminal determines the content of the instruction information;
[0454] Specifically, the indication information is determined based on the Tx profile configured at the higher level.
[0455] The indication information may be: indicating whether to use SL DRX and / or SL DTX for each QoS profile or QoS profile list under each target address of the terminal direct communication interface.
[0456] Each QoS profile of the terminal direct communication interface is identified by one of the following methods:
[0457] Use the proximity quality identifier (PQI) corresponding to the QoS profile as the identifier for the QoS profile;
[0458] When the terminal configures the QoS profile using SL DRX and / or SL DTX according to the System Information Block (SIB), the order in which the QoS profile appears in the SIB determines the number of the QoS profile, and the number is used as the identifier of the QoS profile.
[0459] The terminal receives SIB or dedicated signaling from the network-side device and uses the QoS profile number indicated in the SIB or dedicated signaling as the identifier of the QoS profile.
[0460] Step S1003: The terminal sends an instruction message to the network-side device;
[0461] Specifically, the prerequisite for sending the instruction information may be one of the following:
[0462] d1) If the indication information is carried in a SidelinkUEInformation message, then the existing transmission conditions of the SidelinkUEInformation message are reused;
[0463] d2) The terminal receives the Tx profile configured by the higher layer and generates indication information based on the Tx profile;
[0464] d3) Newly arriving QoS flows belong to a new QoS profile or a list of QoS profiles;
[0465] d4) All QoS flows belonging to a certain QoS profile or all QoS flows belonging to a certain QoS profile list end data transmission;
[0466] d5) Whether the status of any QoS profile or QoS profile list using SL DRX and / or DTX has changed;
[0467] d6) depends on the terminal implementation.
[0468] Optionally, the signaling used for the indication information may be one of the following:
[0469] Carried via the SidelinkUEInformation message;
[0470] Introducing new RRC signaling;
[0471] Introducing the new MAC CE.
[0472] Step S1004: The network-side device receives the instruction information sent by the terminal and performs scheduling of the direct communication interface for the terminal according to the instruction information.
[0473] The indication information may be: indicating whether to use SL DRX and / or SL DTX for each QoS profile or QoS profile list under each target address of the terminal direct communication interface, then the behavior of the network-side device is as follows:
[0474] If SL DRX and / or SL DTX are used for at least some target addresses of the terminal's direct communication interface, for some QoS profiles or QoS profile lists, the network-side device determines the corresponding SL DRX and / or SL DTX configuration for the target addresses of the terminal using SL DRX and / or SL DTX.
[0475] Based on the SL DRX and / or SL DTX configuration, determine the SL DRX and / or SL DTX activation time corresponding to the QoS profile or QoS profile list under the target address using SL DRX and / or SL DTX.
[0476] Based on the activation time of the SL DRX and / or SL DTX corresponding to the QoS profile or QoS profile list under the target address used by the terminal, the direct communication interface logical channels belonging to the QoS profile or QoS profile list are scheduled respectively.
[0477] If some QoS profiles or QoS profile lists under at least some target addresses of the terminal's direct communication interface do not use SL DRX and / or SL DTX, then the network-side device can schedule the logical channels of the direct communication interface belonging to the QoS profiles or QoS profile lists under the target addresses of the terminal that do not use SL DRX and / or SL DTX on all available resources of the direct communication interface.
