Technical Field

[0003] In summary, various aspects of this disclosure relate to wireless communication and to technologies and apparatuses for dual connectivity mode optimization. Background Technology

[0004] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide a variety of telecommunications services such as telephone, video, data, messaging, and broadcasting. Typical wireless communication systems can use multiple access technologies that enable communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power, etc.). Examples of such multiple access technologies include Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) systems, Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) systems, Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) systems, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) systems, Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) systems, Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) systems, and Long Term Evolution (LTE). LTE / Improved LTE is an enhancement set of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard released by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).

[0005] A wireless network may include several base stations (BSs) capable of supporting communication for multiple user equipments (UEs). UEs can communicate with the BS via downlinks and uplinks. A downlink (or forward link) refers to the communication link from the BS to the UE, and an uplink (or reverse link) refers to the communication link from the UE to the BS. As will be described in more detail herein, BS may refer to a node B, gNB, access point (AP), radio headend, transmit / receive point (TRP), new radio (NR) BS, 5G node B, etc.

[0006] The multiple access technology described above has been adopted in various telecommunications standards to provide a common protocol enabling different user equipment to communicate at the city, country, region, and even global levels. NR (which can also be called 5G) is an enhancement set of the LTE mobile standard released by 3GPP. NR is designed to better support mobile broadband internet access by: improving spectrum efficiency, reducing costs, improving service, utilizing new spectrum, and better integrating with other open standards such as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) with Cyclic Prefix (CP) on the downlink (DL) (CP-OFDM), CP-OFDM and / or SC-FDM (e.g., also known as Discrete Fourier Transform Extended OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink (UL), and supporting beamforming, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technologies, and carrier aggregation. Further improvements to LTE, NR, and other radio access technologies remain useful as the demand for mobile broadband access continues to grow. Summary of the Invention

[0030] The various aspects of this disclosure are described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to any particular structure or function presented throughout this disclosure. Rather, these aspects are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of this disclosure to those skilled in the art. Based on the teachings herein, those skilled in the art will understand that the scope of this disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of this disclosure disclosed herein, whether implemented independently of or in combination with any other aspect of this disclosure.

It should be understood that any aspect of this disclosure disclosed herein may be embodied by one or more elements of the claims.

[0031] Several aspects of a telecommunications system will now be described with reference to various devices and techniques. These devices and techniques will be described in detail below and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, through various frames, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, etc. (collectively referred to as “elements”). These elements can be implemented using hardware, software, or a combination thereof. Whether such an element is implemented as hardware or software depends on the specific application and the design constraints imposed on the entire system.

[0032] It should be noted that while this document may use terms commonly associated with 5G or NR radio access technology (RAT) to describe aspects, aspects of this disclosure may be applied to other RATs, such as 3G RAT, 4G RAT and / or RATs after 5G (e.g., 6G).

[0033] Figure 1This is a diagram illustrating an example of a wireless network 100 according to this disclosure. Wireless network 100 may be or may include elements of a 5G (NR) network and / or an LTE network, as well as other examples. Wireless network 100 may include several base stations 110 (shown as BS 110a, BS 110b, BS 110c, and BS 110d) and other network entities. A base station (BS) is an entity that communicates with a user equipment (UE) and may also be referred to as an NR BS, Node B, gNB, 5G Node B (NB), access point, Transmit / Receive Point (TRP), etc. Each BS can provide communication coverage for a specific geographic area. In 3GPP, the term "cell" may refer to the coverage area of ​​a BS and / or the BS subsystem serving that coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used.

[0034] A BS can provide communication coverage for macrocells, picocells, femtocells, and / or another type of cell. A macrocell can cover a relatively large geographic area (e.g., a radius of several kilometers) and allow unrestricted access for UEs with service subscriptions. A picocell can cover a relatively small geographic area and allow unrestricted access for UEs with service subscriptions. A femtocell can cover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., a home) and allow restricted access for UEs associated with the femtocell (e.g., UEs in a Closed User Group (CSG)). A BS for macrocells can be called a macro BS. A BS for picocells can be called a pico BS. A BS for femtocells can be called a femto BS or a home BS. Figure 1 In the example shown, BS 110a can be a macro BS for macro cell 102a, BS 110b can be a pico BS for pico cell 102b, and BS 110c can be a femto BS for femto cell 102c. A BS can support one or more (e.g., three) cells. The terms “eNB”, “base station”, “NR BS”, “gNB”, “TRP”, “AP”, “Node B”, “5G NB”, and “cell” are used interchangeably herein.

[0035] In some respects, the cell may not necessarily be stationary, and the geographical area of ​​the cell may be movable depending on the location of the mobile BS. In some respects, BSs may use any suitable transport network to interconnect with each other and / or interconnect to one or more other BSs or network nodes (not shown) in the wireless network 100 via various types of backhaul interfaces (e.g., direct physical connections or virtual networks).

[0036] The wireless network 100 may also include a relay station. A relay station is an entity that receives data transmissions from an upstream station (e.g., a BS or a UE) and sends data transmissions to a downstream station (e.g., a UE or a BS). A relay station may also be a UE that can relay transmissions to other UEs. Figure 1 In the example shown, relay BS 110d can communicate with macro BS 110a and UE 120d to facilitate communication between BS 110a and UE 120d. A relay BS can also be referred to as a relay station, relay base station, repeater, etc.

[0037] Wireless network 100 can be a heterogeneous network comprising different types of Base Stations (BSs) (e.g., macro BSs, pico BSs, femto BSs, relay BSs, etc.). These different types of BSs can have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and different effects on interference in wireless network 100. For example, macro BSs can have higher transmit power levels (e.g., 5 to 40 watts), while pico BSs, femto BSs, and relay BSs can have lower transmit power levels (e.g., 0.1 to 2 watts).

[0038] Network controller 130 can be coupled to a collection of BSs and can provide coordination and control for these BSs. Network controller 130 can communicate with the BSs via backhaul. BSs can also communicate with each other, for example, directly or indirectly via wireless or wired backhaul.

[0039] UEs 120 (e.g., 120a, 120b, 120c) may be distributed throughout the wireless network 100, and each UE may be stationary or mobile. A UE may also be referred to as an access terminal, terminal, mobile station, user unit, station, etc. A UE may be a cellular phone (e.g., a smartphone), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wireless modem, a wireless communication device, a handheld device, a laptop computer, a cordless phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a tablet device, a camera, a gaming device, a netbook, a smartbook, an ultrabook, a medical device or equipment, a biometric sensor / device, a wearable device (smartwatch, smart clothing, smart glasses, smart wristband, smart jewelry (e.g., smart ring, smart bracelet)), an entertainment device (e.g., a music or video device, or a satellite radio device), an in-vehicle component or sensor, a smart meter / sensor, industrial manufacturing equipment, a GPS device, or any other suitable device configured to communicate via wireless or wired media.

[0040] Some UEs can be viewed as Machine-Type Communication (MTC) or Evolved or Enhanced Machine-Type Communication (eMTC) UEs. MTC and eMTC UEs include, for example, robots, drones, remote devices, sensors, meters, monitors, location tags, etc., capable of communicating with base stations, another device (e.g., remote devices), or some other entity. For example, a wireless node can provide connectivity to or to a network (e.g., a wide area network such as the Internet or cellular networks) via wired or wireless communication links. Some UEs can be viewed as Internet of Things (IoT) devices and / or can be implemented as NB-IoT (Narrowband Internet of Things) devices. Some UEs can be viewed as Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). UE 120 can be included within a housing that houses the components of UE 120 (e.g., processor components and / or memory components, etc.). In some aspects, the processor components and memory components can be coupled together. For example, the processor components (e.g., one or more processors) and memory components (e.g., memory) can be operatively coupled, communicatively coupled, electronically coupled, and / or electrically coupled.

[0041] Typically, any number of wireless networks can be deployed within a given geographical area. Each wireless network can support a specific RAT and can operate on one or more frequencies. A RAT can also be called a wireless technology, air interface, etc. A frequency can also be called a carrier, frequency channel, etc. Each frequency can support a single RAT within a given geographical area to avoid interference between wireless networks using different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RAT networks can be deployed.

[0042] In some respects, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120a and UE 120e) may communicate directly using one or more sidelink channels (e.g., without using base station 110 as an intermediary for communication with each other). For example, UE 120 may communicate using peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, device-to-device (D2D) communication, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocols (e.g., which may include vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) protocols, vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocols, etc.) and / or mesh networks. In this case, UE 120 may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and / or other operations described herein as being performed by base station 110.

[0043] Devices of wireless network 100 may communicate using the electromagnetic spectrum, which may be subdivided into various categories, bands, channels, etc., based on frequency or wavelength. For example, devices of wireless network 100 may communicate using an operating band with a first frequency range (FR1) (spanning from 410 MHz to 7.125 GHz), and / or may communicate using an operating band with a second frequency range (FR2) (spanning from 24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz). Frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are sometimes referred to as intermediate frequencies (IFs). Although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz, FR1 is generally referred to as the “below 6 GHz” band. Similarly, FR2 is generally referred to as the “millimeter wave” band, although it is different from the extremely high frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz–300 GHz) designated as the “millimeter wave” band by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). Therefore, unless explicitly stated otherwise, it should be understood that the terms “below 6 GHz” etc. (if used herein) can broadly refer to frequencies less than 6 GHz, frequencies within FR1, and / or intermediate frequencies (e.g., greater than 7.125 GHz). Similarly, unless otherwise explicitly stated, it should be understood that the terms “millimeter wave” and the like (if used herein) can broadly refer to frequencies within the EHF band, frequencies within FR2, and / or intermediate frequencies (e.g., less than 24.25 GHz). It is anticipated that the frequencies included in FR1 and FR2 may be modified, and the techniques described herein are applicable to those modified frequency ranges.

[0044] In some aspects, UE 120 may include a communication manager 140. As described in more detail elsewhere herein, the communication manager 140 may measure parameters associated with a secondary cell group; and, when the parameters meet a threshold, perform an optimized response action for a dual-connectivity mode using either a first frequency parameter or a second frequency parameter, wherein the optimized response action is associated with whether the secondary cell group operates using the first or second frequency parameter. Alternatively or additionally, the communication manager 140 may perform one or more other operations described herein.

[0045] As pointed out above, Figure 1 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 1 The example described.

[0046] Figure 2 This is a diagram illustrating an example 200 of communication between a base station 110 and a UE 120 in a wireless network 100 according to the present disclosure. The base station 110 may be equipped with T antennas 234a to 234t, and the UE 120 may be equipped with R antennas 252a to 252r, wherein generally, T ≥ 1 and R ≥ 1.

[0047] At base station 110, transmitting processor 220 can receive data for one or more UEs from data source 212, select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCS) for each UE based at least in part on the Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) received from each UE, process the data for each UE (e.g., coding and modulation) based at least in part on the MCS selected for each UE, and provide data symbols for all UEs. Transmitting processor 220 can also process system information (e.g., semi-static resource allocation information (SRPI)) and control information (e.g., CQI requests, grants, and / or upper-layer signaling), and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. Transmitting processor 220 can also generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., cell-specific reference signals (CRS) or modulation reference signals (DMRS)) and synchronization signals (e.g., primary synchronization signal (PSS) or secondary synchronization signal (SSS)). The transmit (TX) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processor 230 can perform spatial processing (e.g., precoding, if applicable) on data symbols, control symbols, overhead symbols, and / or reference symbols, and provide T output symbol streams to T modulators (MODs) 232a to 232t. Each modulator 232 can process its respective output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain an output sample stream. Each modulator 232 can further process the output sample stream (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and up-convert) to obtain a downlink signal. The T downlink signals from modulators 232a to 232t can be transmitted via T antennas 234a to 234t, respectively.

[0048] At UE 120, antennas 252a to 252r can receive downlink signals from base station 110 and / or other base stations, and can provide the received signals to demodulators (DEMODs) 254a to 254r respectively. Each demodulator 254 can adjust (e.g., filter, amplify, down-convert, and digitize) the received signal to obtain an input sample. Each demodulator 254 can also process the input sample (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain the received symbols. MIMO detector 256 can obtain the received symbols from all R demodulators 254a to 254r, perform MIMO detection on the received symbols (if applicable), and provide the detected symbols. Receive processor 258 can process (e.g., demodulate and decode) the detected symbols, provide decoded data for UE 120 to data sink 260, and provide decoding control information and system information to controller / processor 280. The term "controller / processor" can refer to one or more controllers, one or more processors, or a combination thereof. The channel processor can determine parameters such as the Received Reference Signal Power (RSRP), Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), Received Reference Signal Quality (RSRQ), and / or CQI. In some respects, one or more components of the UE 120 may be included in the housing 284.

[0049] Network controller 130 may include communication unit 294, controller / processor 290, and memory 292. Network controller 130 may include one or more devices, such as those in a core network. Network controller 130 may communicate with base station 110 via communication unit 294.

[0050] Antennas (e.g., antennas 234a to 234t and / or antennas 252a to 252r) may include or be included within the following: one or more antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element sets, and / or antenna arrays, and other examples. Antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element sets, and / or antenna arrays may include one or more antenna elements. Antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element sets, and / or antenna arrays may include coplanar antenna element sets and / or non-coplanar antenna element sets. Antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element sets, and / or antenna arrays may include antenna elements within a single housing and / or multiple antenna elements within housings. Antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element sets, and / or antenna arrays may include antenna elements coupled to one or more transmitting and / or receiving components (such as...) Figure 2 One or more antenna elements (one or more components).

[0051] On the uplink, at UE 120, transmit processor 264 can receive and process data from data source 262 and control information from controller / processor 280 (e.g., for reporting RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, and / or CQI). Transmit processor 264 can also generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. Symbols from transmit processor 264 can be pre-coded (if applicable) by TX MIMO processor 266, further processed by modulators 254a to 254r (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM or CP-OFDM), and transmitted to base station 110. In some aspects, modulators and demodulators (e.g., modulator / demodulator 254) of UE 120 can be included in a modem of UE 120. In some aspects, UE 120 includes a transceiver.

[0055] Although Figure 2 The boxes in the diagram are shown as different components, but the functions described above with respect to these boxes can be implemented in a single hardware, software, or combined component, or in various combinations of components. For example, the functions described with respect to transmit processor 264, receive processor 258, and / or TX MIMO processor 266 can be performed by or under the control of controller / processor 280.

[0056] As pointed out above, Figure 2 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 2The example described.

[0057] In some communication systems, UE 120 may include a dual-connectivity mode, which improves coverage and / or throughput for UE 120. For example, UE 120 may obtain connectivity on multiple cells in one or more frequency bands (such as a primary cell in a first frequency band (e.g., FR1), a secondary cell in a first frequency band, a primary cell in a second frequency band (e.g., FR2), a secondary cell in a second frequency band, etc.). However, using dual-connectivity mode may lead to excessive power resource consumption when the UE is experiencing below-threshold throughput or in another scenario. The UE may determine that static thresholds are met across all frequency bands and may disable dual-connectivity modes, such as Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) NR Dual Connectivity (ENDC) mode, NR Dual Connectivity (NRDC) mode, etc. In this case, the UE may abandon reporting NR measurement results, fail the primary / secondary cell addition process, release the secondary cell group, etc., to reduce power consumption.

[0058] However, using a single static threshold across all frequency bands can lead to scenarios where dual connectivity is disabled on a frequency band despite a continued need for it. Conversely, in some cases, dual connectivity may remain enabled on a frequency band despite a lack of demand. For example, reliability characteristics on FR1 might result in higher network traffic on FR1 than on FR2. Therefore, a single throughput threshold might not be met by FR1 or a combination of FR1 and FR2, but only by FR2. In this case, maintaining dual connectivity on FR2 could lead to unnecessary power resource utilization.

[0059] Some aspects described herein implement frequency band-specific thresholds for dual-connectivity mode operation. For example, the UE can check network characteristics (such as throughput) for one or more cells on FR1 against a first threshold, and network characteristics for one or more cells on FR2 against a second threshold. In this case, based at least in part on whether the corresponding thresholds are met, the UE can perform optimized response actions on the corresponding frequency band, such as disabling dual connectivity. In this way, the UE improves dual-connectivity mode operation by achieving greater power savings, reducing the likelihood of connection loss due to unnecessarily ending dual-connectivity mode, and so on.

[0060] Figure 3 This is a diagram illustrating example 300 associated with dual-connection mode operation according to various aspects of this disclosure. (See diagram for example.) Figure 3 As shown, Example 300 includes UE 120 and one or more BS 110, which provide cells across frequency bands, such as a first cell on FR1 frequency band, a second cell on FR2 frequency band, etc.

[0061] As in Figure 3 As further illustrated by reference numeral 310 in the accompanying drawing, UE 120 can determine whether one or more thresholds for one or more frequency bands are met. For example, UE 120 can measure a first cell or a second cell and determine whether a first threshold is met for the first cell on the FR1 frequency band, whether a second threshold is met for the second cell on the FR2 frequency band, and so on. In this way, UE 120 can determine whether to perform the optimized response action as described herein separately for each frequency band.

[0062] In some aspects, UE 120 can determine whether a threshold is met for a throughput metric. For example, UE 120 can measure the average throughput for FR1 (compared to a threshold for FR1), the average throughput for FR2 (compared to a threshold for FR2, which may be different from the threshold for FR1), and so on. In some aspects, the throughput characteristic can be at least partially based on whether the throughput is for FR1 or FR2. For example, UE 120 can use a first sampling time (e.g., a first byte count per sampling time) to determine the throughput for FR1 and a second sampling time (e.g., a second byte count per sampling time, where the sampling time is different for FR1 and FR2) to determine the throughput for FR2. Alternatively or additionally, when averaging the throughput for FR1 or FR2, UE 120 can use different filtering constants to average the throughput. For example, UE 120 can use a slower filter for FR1 relative to FR2. In this scenario, UE 120 can use an Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filter in LTE Radio Resource Control (RRC) connectivity mode, such that the filtering can be expressed by an equation of the following form:

[0063] A(n) = a * s(n) + (1-a) * A(n-1) (1)

[0064] Where A(n) is the IIR filter throughput, n is the sample index, s(n) is the sampling throughput over time, and a is a constant. In this case, by using a smaller filter constant, the UE 120 can operate the filter more slowly to obtain throughput samples.

[0065] In some aspects, UE 120 can determine whether another parameter of UE 120 meets a threshold criterion to determine whether dual-connectivity mode should be disabled. For example, UE 120 can determine that dual-connectivity mode is disabled for FR1 when a throughput threshold is met and when, for example, the display of UE 120 is turned off.

[0066] As in Figure 3 As further illustrated by reference numeral 320 in the accompanying drawing, UE 120 can perform one or more optimized response actions. For example, when the average throughput for FR1 is less than a threshold for FR1, UE 120 can disable dual connectivity mode. In this case, as an optimized response action, UE 120 can avoid reporting NR measurements for FR1 in LTE connectivity mode or ENDC. Alternatively, UE 120 can cause the primary / secondary cell addition process or ENDC addition process on FR1 to fail (e.g., UE 120 can reject the above process). Alternatively, UE 120 can release the secondary cell group on FR1 by sending a secondary cell group failure information message to BS 110 (e.g., if UE 120 is already in ENDC mode). Similarly, when the average throughput for FR2 is less than a threshold for FR2, UE 120 can disable dual connectivity mode for FR2 and can abandon reporting NR measurements on FR2, cause the addition process on FR2 to fail, release the secondary cell on FR2, etc.

[0067] In some respects, UE 120 can select an optimized response action based at least in part on the number of iterations that disable dual connectivity mode. For example, UE 120 can track the number of instances that cause ENDC addition to fail and / or release the secondary cell group, and can select different optimized response actions based at least in part on the number during a time period or during a connection period. As an example, when the number is greater than or equal to a first value, UE 120 can cause ENDC addition to fail and release the secondary cell group connection. Similarly, when the number is greater than or equal to a second value, UE 120 can disable ENDC (e.g., cause ENDC addition to fail, release the secondary cell group connection, abandon reporting of NR measurements, etc.). Similarly, when the number is greater than or equal to a third value, UE 120 can cause ENDC addition to fail and release the secondary cell group connection within a specified time interval. Similarly, when the number is greater than or equal to a fourth value, UE 120 can disable ENDC within a specified time interval. Alternatively, depending on these values, UE 120 can send empty measurement reports. In some respects, the above values ​​may be the same or different for FR1 and FR2.
