Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of communication technology, specifically relating to a paging method, apparatus, device, and computer storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] In future mobile communication networks, there will be terminals with various capabilities: such as reduced-capability (RedCap) terminals and non-RedCap terminals. Typically, RedCap terminals are low-complexity, low-cost terminals with capabilities lower than non-RedCap terminals. RedCap terminals can be further subdivided into at least two categories: single-antenna (1rx) RedCap terminals and two-antenna (2rx) RedCap terminals.

[0003] In a mobile communication network, only certain cells can serve RedCap terminals. These cells will indicate via broadcast messages whether 1rx RedCap terminals, 2rx RedCap terminals, or both 1rx and 2rx RedCap terminals are allowed to camp. If a cell (e.g., Cell A) does not support 1rx RedCap terminals, 1rx RedCap terminals (e.g., Terminal A) will not listen for paging in that cell.

[0004] However, under the existing mechanism, paging messages for terminal A will still be sent in Cell A (assuming that within the same Tracking Area (TA), some cells support 1rx RedCap terminals while others do not), resulting in unnecessary waste of radio resources. Simultaneously, other terminals within the cell will be falsely awakened by the paging physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and receive the paging PDCCH, leading to unnecessary power consumption.

[0064] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0065] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specified order or sequence. It should be understood that such terms can be used interchangeably where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first" and "second" are generally of the same class, not limited in number; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0066] It is worth noting that the technologies described in this application are not limited to New Radio (NR) systems or Long Term Evolution (LTE) / LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) systems, but can also be used in other wireless communication systems, such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), Single-carrier Frequency-Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA), and other systems. The terms "system" and "network" in this application are often used interchangeably, and the described technologies can be used with the systems and radio technologies mentioned above, as well as with other systems and radio technologies. The following description describes NR systems for illustrative purposes, and NR terminology is used in most of the following description; however, these technologies can also be applied to applications other than NR systems, such as 6th generation (6G) wireless communication systems. th Generation 6G communication system.

[0067] To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of this application, the following technical points are introduced first:

[0068] I. Regarding the Cell Bar Mechanism

[0069] A cell can indicate the prohibition of a certain type of terminal from camping through specific information fields in system messages. For example, a cell can indicate at least one of the following:

[0070] (1) Prohibit 1rx RedCap terminals (such as user equipment (UE)) from residing;

[0071] (2) Disable 2rx RedCap UE residency;

[0072] (3) Non-RedCap UEs are prohibited from residing there;

[0073] (4) Prohibit all UEs from residing.

[0074] II. Regarding the Paging Mechanism

[0075] The network locates the called UE via paging. When the UE is in Radio Resource Control (RRC) idle or inactive, it reports its current location area (a location area includes one or more cells) to the network (New Work, NW). When the UE moves out of its current location area, it initiates a location registration or update process with the NW and receives a new location area configured by the NW. Therefore, the NW only knows the current location area of ​​RRC idle or inactive UEs.

[0076] When a service needs to page an RRC idle or inactive UE, the core network or anchor base station sends a paging request to one or more cells in the UE's current location area.

[0077] Over-the-air paging may be handled by the core network (see...) Figure 1 ) or access network (see Figure 2 )trigger.

[0078] Within a location area, there are multiple cells. Some cells may support 1rx RedCap UEs, while others may not. Therefore, when the NW needs to page a 1rx RedCap UE (e.g., UE A), the N2 interface paging message or Xn interface paging message might be sent to a cell that does not support 1rx RedCap UEs (e.g., CELL A), causing Cell A to send a paging message for UE A. Since UE A will definitely not receive a paging message in Cell A, sending a paging message for UE A in Cell A is unnecessary.

[0079] See Figure 3The figure shows a block diagram of a wireless communication system applicable to an embodiment of this application. The wireless communication system includes terminal 31, terminal 32, and network-side device 33. The terminal can also be called a terminal device or UE, and can be a mobile phone, tablet computer, laptop computer, personal digital assistant (PDA), handheld computer, netbook, ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), mobile internet device (MID), wearable device, vehicle-mounted device (VUE), pedestrian terminal (PUE), etc. Wearable devices include smartwatches, wristbands, headphones, glasses, etc. It should be noted that the specific types of terminal 31 and terminal 32 are not limited in this embodiment of the application.

[0080] Network-side device 33 can be a base station or a core network. The base station can be referred to as a node B, evolved node B (eNB), access point, base transceiver station (BTS), radio base station, radio transceiver, basic service set (BSS), extended service set (ESS), B node, evolved B node (gNB), home B node, home evolved B node, WLAN access point, WiFi node, transmitting and receiving point (TRP), radio access network node, or any other suitable term in the field. As long as the same technical effect is achieved, the base station is not limited to the specified technical terms. It should be noted that in this application embodiment, only the base station in the NR system is used as an example, but the specific type of base station is not limited.

[0085] Wherein, the first information and / or the second information are used by the core network and / or serving cell and / or base station to determine whether to send a paging message for the paging terminal through the cell where the paging terminal is camped.

[0086] It is understandable that whether a terminal's receiving antenna is 1RX or 2RX belongs to the terminal's wireless access capability; while the core network encryption algorithms supported by the terminal belong to the core network capability; normally, the core network does not interpret the terminal's wireless access capability; in this embodiment of the application, the core network needs to know the type of the terminal and / or its wireless access capability in order to send paging messages.

[0087] In one embodiment of this application, the method further includes: the terminal receiving a paging message through a first cell, wherein the first cell allows the terminal having the terminal type or the wireless access capability to camp.

[0093] In this embodiment, paging of the paging terminal is avoided in cells where the paging terminal is not allowed to camp, thus avoiding waste of radio resources (carrying paging messages); and unnecessary energy consumption is avoided when non-paging terminals in the cell are woken up by paging messages.

[0094] See Figure 5 This application provides a paging method, the specific steps of which include: step 501.

[0095] Step 501: The first radio access network device sends third information to the core network and / or the second radio access network device (such as an anchor base station), the third information indicating the terminal types that the first radio access network device prohibits or allows the camped terminals to reside in.

[0115] In one embodiment of this application, the method further includes:

[0116] The second radio access network device sends a fourth paging message (which can be described as an Xn interface paging message or an X2 interface paging message) to the first radio access network device, wherein at least one cell of the first radio access network device allows terminals of the terminal type to which the paged terminal belongs to to be camped.

[0117] Alternatively, the second radio access network device sends a fifth paging message (which can be described as an Xn interface paging message or an X2 interface paging message). That is, the second radio access network device can send a fifth paging message to the first radio access network device, and the first radio access network device itself determines which subordinate cells need to send the paging message (i.e., air interface paging message) for the paging terminal; the first radio access network device only sends the air interface paging message in subordinate cells that support the paging terminal's campsite.

Furthermore, the terminal types supported by the first radio access network device can be understood as the types of terminals for which the first radio access network device can provide services. For example, if the first radio access network device can provide services for 1rxRedCap terminals, then it can be considered that the first radio access network device supports 1rxRedCap terminals.

[0179] In this embodiment, paging of the paging terminal is avoided in cells where the paging terminal is not allowed to camp, thus avoiding waste of radio resources (carrying paging messages); and unnecessary energy consumption is avoided when non-paging terminals in the cell are woken up by paging messages.

[0180] See Figure 9 This application provides a paging method, the specific steps of which include: step 901.

[0191] As an optional implementation, the types of terminals that the first wireless access network device prohibits or allows to host include:

[0192] The types of terminals that are prohibited or permitted to be hosted in all cells of the first wireless access network device;

[0203] In this embodiment, paging of the paging terminal is avoided in cells where the paging terminal is not allowed to camp, thus avoiding waste of radio resources (carrying paging messages); and unnecessary energy consumption is avoided when non-paging terminals in the cell are woken up by paging messages.

[0204] Example 1: Core Network Paging

[0205] In Example 1, the interface message can indicate the types of terminals that the base station prohibits from being hosted.

[0206] See Figure 10 The specific steps are as follows:

[0207] Step 1: UE A reports its terminal type to the core network. The terminal type is one of the following:

[0208] a) 1rx RedCap terminal;

[0209] b) 2rx RedCap terminal;

[0210] c) Other terminals. Other terminals refer to a type of terminal other than those mentioned in a) and b) above, which the cell can prohibit from residing in by broadcasting messages.

[0211] Step 2: Base station A reports the types of terminals that are prohibited or permitted to camp in its subordinate cells to the core network. The method may be one of the following:

[0212] a) The terminal type reported by the base station applies to all subordinate cells, meaning that all subordinate cells either prohibit or allow terminals of the reported type to reside.

[0213] b) The base station reports the types of terminals that are prohibited from camping in each cell. That is, each cell under its jurisdiction can prohibit different types of terminals from camping. The base station reports the types of terminals that are prohibited or allowed to camp in each cell.

[0214] It is understandable that the terminal types that are prohibited or allowed to be camped in the cell in step 2 correspond one-to-one with the terminal types in step 1; or there is a fixed and / or known mapping relationship between the two in the core network.

[0215] Step 3: When the core network pages UE A, the core network only sends paging messages (such as N2 paging messages) to the base station of the cell in the registered area of ​​UE A that allows terminals of the type of UE A to be camped.

[0216] Step 4: Base station A sends an air interface paging message through the cells under its jurisdiction that allow UE A's terminal type to camp.

[0217] Understandably, the core network can indicate to base station A which cells need to be paged; or which cells do not need to be paged. For example, if only some cells under base station A support terminal camping of type UE A, the core network can indicate to base station A which cells need to be paged; or which cells do not need to be paged.

[0218] Example 1a: Radio Access Network Paging

[0219] Base station B is any neighboring base station of base station A, and base station A is the anchor base station of UE A.

[0220] In related technologies, the anchor base station knows the type of inactive UE.

[0221] See Figure 11 The specific steps are as follows:

[0222] Step 0: UEA reports the terminal type to base station A; the terminal type includes one of the following:

[0223] a) 1rx RedCap terminal;

[0224] b) 2rx RedCap terminal;

[0225] c) Other terminals. Other terminals refer to a type of terminal other than those mentioned in a) and b) above, which the cell can prohibit from residing in by broadcasting messages.

[0226] Step 1: Base station B notifies base station A of the types of terminals that are prohibited from being logged in within its subordinate cells. The method may be one of the following:

[0227] a) The instruction from base station B to base station A applies to all subordinate cells, meaning that all subordinate cells prohibit the reported type of terminal from residing there.

[0228] b) Base station B instructs base station A on the types of terminals that are prohibited from being camped by each cell. That is, each cell under its jurisdiction can prohibit different types of terminals from being camped. Base station B instructs each cell on the types of terminals that are prohibited from being camped.

[0229] Step 2: When the anchor base station (base station A) pages UE A, it only sends paging messages (such as Xn paging messages) to the base station (such as base station B) of the cell where the type of terminal that UE A is allowed to camp within the registration area of ​​UE A.

[0230] Step 3: Base station B sends an air interface paging message through the cells under its jurisdiction that allow UE A's terminal type to camp.

[0231] Understandably, base station A can indicate to base station B which cells need to be paged; or which cells do not need to be paged. For example, if only some cells under base station A support terminal camping of type UE A, base station A can indicate to base station B which cells need to be paged; or which cells do not need to be paged.

[0232] Example 2: CN Paging (NG paging message indicates the type of the paging terminal)

[0233] See Figure 12 The specific steps are as follows:

[0234] Step 1: UE A reports its terminal type to the core network. The terminal type includes the following:

[0235] a) 1rx RedCap terminal;

[0236] b) 2rx RedCap terminal;

[0237] c) Other terminals. Other terminals refer to a type of terminal other than those mentioned in a) and b) above, which the cell can prohibit from residing in by broadcasting messages.

[0238] Step 2: When the core network pages UE A, it sends a paging message (such as an N2 paging message) to the base station in the UE's location area. The paging message indicates the type of the paged terminal.

[0239] Step 3: After receiving the paging message, the base station sends the paging message (e.g., an air interface paging message) in the cells where the paging terminal is allowed to camp.

[0240] Example 2a: RAN Paging (Xn paging message indicates the type of the paging terminal)

[0241] Base station B is any neighboring base station of base station A, and base station A is the anchor base station of UE A.

[0242] Existing technology: Anchor base stations know the type of inactive UEs.

[0243] See Figure 13 The specific steps are as follows:

[0244] Step 0: UE A reports its terminal type to base station A. The terminal type includes one of the following:

[0245] a) 1rx RedCap terminal;

[0246] b) 2rx RedCap terminal;

[0247] c) Other terminals. Other terminals refer to a type of terminal other than those mentioned in a) and b) above, which the cell can prohibit from residing in by broadcasting messages.

[0248] Step 1: When the anchor base station (base station A) pages UE A, it sends a paging message (such as an N2 paging message) to base station B in the UE's location area. The paging message indicates the type of the paged terminal.

[0249] Step 2: After receiving the paging message, base station B sends the paging message (e.g., air interface paging message) in the cells where the paging terminal is allowed to camp.

[0250] It is understood that the above embodiments can also be used for LTE. For example, the N2 interface can be replaced with the S1 interface, and the Xn interface can be replaced with the X2 interface.

[0251] Example 3a

[0252] Step 1: gNB1 sends a second message to CN, indicating that gNB1 supports RedCap UE;

[0253] Step 2: CN triggers a paging message for UE A. CN sends a paging message between the core network and the base station interface to gNB1. The paging message contains the identifier of the paging terminal and the type / capability of the paging terminal (e.g., 1rx RedCap).

[0254] Optionally, if the paged terminal UE A is a 1rx RedCap UE, the CN may send the core network and base station inter-interface paging message only to the gNB that supports RedCap.

[0255] Step 3: gNB1 sends a paging message containing the UE A paging ID on the air interface of the subordinate cell that allows 1rx RedCap to reside.

[0256] Example 3b

[0257] Step 1: gNB1 sends a second message to gNB2, indicating that gNB1 supports RedCap UE; where gNB2 is the anchor base station of gNB1;

[0258] Step 2: gNB2 triggers a paging message for UE A. gNB2 sends an inter-base station interface paging message to gNB1. The paging message contains the identifier of the paging terminal and the type of the paging terminal (e.g., 1rx RedCap).

[0259] Optionally, if the paged terminal UE A is a 1rx RedCap UE, gNB2 may only send inter-base station interface paging messages to gNBs that support RedCap.

[0260] Step 3: gNB1 sends a paging message containing the terminal ID on the air interface of the subordinate cell that allows 1rx RedCap to reside.
