DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0053] ​​In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0054] The terms “first”, “second”, and the like in the description of the embodiments of the present application, claims and the above drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not have to be used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be exchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein.

[0055] It should be understood that the terms “include” and “have” and any variations thereof used herein are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product or device including a series of steps or units need not be limited to those clearly listed steps or units, but can include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0056] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the term “corresponding” can mean a direct or indirect corresponding relationship between the two, can also mean an associated relationship between the two, or can indicate a relationship with the indicated, configured and configured.

[0057] The fifth generation mobile communication technology 5G is a new generation of wireless communication technology of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), which has the characteristics of high speed, low delay, large capacity, etc. It is being rapidly deployed and applied at home and abroad, especially in the field of enterprises and industries, and 5G is playing an increasingly important role.

[0058] Network slicing is one of the key technologies of 5G, and is the basis for 5G to support multiple service types, such as enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra-reliable and low-latency communications (uRLLC), and massive machine type communication (mMTC). Network slicing is also the basis for supporting differentiated operation of 5G service experience in the 5G era. Network slicing essentially corresponds to a service, which is a combination of network functions and resources required to complete a service. Network slicing is a logical network with independent resources divided from a physical network to meet different service requirements.

[0059] With the introduction of network slicing technology, operators will be able to provide network capabilities with different features, provide "dedicated" networks for users with different service requirements, and guarantee high-quality service levels to meet differentiated service requirements. Users can also use more exciting application products, further stimulating the development of new industry application blue ocean, and ultimately achieving the goal of improving network resource utilization efficiency, optimizing operator network construction investment, and building a flexible and agile 5G network.

[0060] Currently, a base station of a 5G system can associate different power consumption strategies with services based on network slicing to control terminals to perform corresponding power consumption processing on different services. However, with the advent of the Internet of Everything era, intelligent terminals can not rely on network base stations or wireless air interfaces to configure power consumption strategies for them. For such terminals, the embodiments of the present application provide a device power consumption control method that can be applied to terminals in non-air interface fields or sidelink terminals to achieve their own power consumption control. The main invention idea of the case is as follows: by preconfiguring the association between power consumption strategies and network slices (or applications or services) on the terminal side, the terminal can perform differentiated power consumption processing under different applications or services. This process does not depend on network control, and the terminal can independently select the power consumption strategy corresponding to the application or service, further reducing device power consumption, and achieving the purpose of energy saving.

[0061] It should be noted that the power consumption strategy described in the embodiments generally refers to a low-power consumption strategy.

[0062] Before introducing the device power consumption control method provided by the present application, the application scenario of the method is first briefly introduced.

[0063] Figure 1 The scenario diagram of the device power consumption control method provided by the embodiments of the present application is shown in FIG. 1. Figure 1As shown, the scenario includes a terminal device 11, a terminal device 12 and a communication infrastructure 13. As an example, the terminal device 11 supports application 1, application 2 and application 3, the terminal device 12 supports application 3 and application 4, for example, application 1 and 2 are audio applications, video applications, and application 3 and 4 are non-real-time applications for text transmission. The terminal device 11 can be communicatively connected with the terminal device 12 through the communication infrastructure 13, or can be directly communicatively connected with the terminal device 12.

[0064] In this embodiment, the terminal device can also be referred to as a user equipment (UE), an access terminal, a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a mobile, a remote station, a remote terminal, a mobile device, a user terminal, a terminal, a wireless communication device, a user agent or a user device.

[0065] The terminal device can be a device that provides voice / data connectivity to a user, such as a handheld device with wireless connectivity, a vehicle-mounted device, etc. Currently, some examples of terminals can be: a mobile phone, a pad, a computer with wireless transceiver function (such as a notebook, a palm computer, etc.), a mobile internet device (MID), a virtual reality (VR) device, an augmented reality (AR) device, a wireless terminal in industrial control, a wireless terminal in self-driving, a wireless terminal in remote medical, a wireless terminal in smart grid, a wireless terminal in transportation safety, a wireless terminal in smart city, a wireless terminal in smart home, a cellular phone, a cordless phone, a session initiation protocol (SIP) phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a handheld device with wireless communication function, a computing device or other processing device connected to a wireless modem, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, a terminal device in a 5G network, or a terminal device in a future evolved public land mobile network (PLMN), etc.

[0066] Among them, the wearable device can also be called a wearable smart device, which is a general term for devices that can be worn, such as glasses, gloves, watches, clothing, and shoes, which are designed and developed by applying wearable technology to daily wear. The wearable device is a portable device that can be directly worn on the body or integrated into the user's clothes or accessories. The wearable device is not only a hardware device, but also a powerful function realized through software support and data interaction, cloud interaction. The general wearable smart device includes functions, large size, and can realize complete or partial functions without relying on a smart phone, such as smart watches or smart glasses, and focuses on a certain application function and needs to cooperate with other devices such as a smart phone, such as various smart bracelets, smart jewelry, and other devices for monitoring vital signs.

[0067] In addition, the terminal device can also be a terminal device in an Internet of Things (IoT) system. IoT is an important part of future information technology development, and its main technical feature is to connect objects through communication technology and network to realize the intelligent network of man-machine interconnection and object-object interconnection. IoT technology can achieve mass connection, deep coverage, and terminal power saving through, for example, narrowband (NB) technology.

[0068] In addition, the terminal device can also include a smart printer, a train detector, a gas station sensor, and the like, and the main functions include collecting data (part of the terminal device), receiving control information and downlink data of the network device, and transmitting electromagnetic waves to transmit uplink data to the network device.

[0069] In this embodiment, the operator deploys three network slices for transmitting audio data, video data, and non-real-time data through the communication infrastructure 13, respectively, which are TR1, TR2, and TR3. As an example, the network slices TR1 and TR2 provide access to the data network platform 14 included in the communication infrastructure 13, and the network slice TR3 provides access to the data network platform 15 not included in the communication infrastructure 13. It should be understood that other network slices can be extended in the figure to supplement the current communication infrastructure according to the needs of the operator.

[0070] Optionally, in some embodiments, the communication infrastructure 13 further includes a rule server 16 for providing rules related to terminal applications or services of the network slice, that is, the terminal route selection policy URSP rule.

[0071] Based on the above scenario, the terminal device 11 and the terminal device 12 can both use the device power consumption control method provided by the embodiments of the present application to independently control the power consumption, without relying on the power consumption control of the network device, to achieve the purpose of reducing the power consumption of the device.

[0072] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below through specific embodiments. It should be noted that the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application can include part or all of the following content, and the following several specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes can not be described again in some embodiments.

[0073] Figure 2 Flowchart of the device power consumption control method provided by the embodiments of the present application Figure 1 The method provided by the embodiments of the present application can be applied to Figure 1 The terminal device 11 or the terminal device 12 shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 2, the device power consumption control method comprises the following steps. Figure 2 The device power consumption control method comprises the following steps.

[0074] Step 201, receiving device power consumption configuration information, the device power consumption configuration information being used to indicate device power consumption strategies corresponding to different applications.

[0075] In an optional embodiment of the present embodiment, the device power consumption configuration information comprises device power consumption strategies configured for different applications according to a URSP rule. The URSP rule describes the correspondence between the application and the network slice.

[0076] There are two important parameters in the URSP rule:

[0077] One is the traffic descriptor parameter describing the application (app) attribute, which includes the application ID, the data network name (DNN), the IP descriptor, the domain descriptor, the connection capability and other parameters.

[0078] The other is the route selection descriptor describing the data bearer attribute, which includes the network slice (network slice selection assistance information, NSSAI), the session and service continuity mode (SSC Mode), the DNN and other parameters.

[0079] The URSP rule actually includes the correspondence between multiple traffic descriptors and route selection descriptors. It should be understood that when the terminal device learns multiple traffic descriptor parameters related to the application, it can determine the route selection descriptor related to the data bearer according to the URSP rule, which includes the network slice information. In this way, the terminal device can determine which network slice to access the application.

[0080] In an optional embodiment of the embodiment, the device power consumption strategy configured for different applications according to the URSP rule includes configuring the corresponding device power consumption strategy according to the traffic descriptor, i.e., the correspondence between the traffic descriptor describing the application attribute and the device power consumption strategy.

[0081] In an optional embodiment of the embodiment, the device power consumption strategy configured for different applications according to the URSP rule includes configuring the corresponding device power consumption strategy according to the route selection descriptor, i.e., the correspondence between the route selection descriptor and the device power consumption strategy. For example, the correspondence between the NSSAI and the device power consumption strategy.

[0082] It should be noted that the device power consumption configuration information is pre-configuration information, and the related configuration parameters are stored in the storage space of the terminal device.

[0083] Optionally, the device power consumption strategy includes at least one of the following:

[0084] (1) The maximum uplink transmission power of the terminal device.

[0085] For example, the value range is 0-23, and the unit is dbm. The default value is 23 dbm.

[0086] (2) The maximum number of uplink transmission antennas of the terminal device.

[0087] For example, the value range is (1, 2), and the default value is 2.

[0088] (3) The maximum MIMO (multiple input multiple output) capability of the terminal device in uplink or downlink.

[0089] For example, the value range is 1-4, the default value in uplink is 2, and the default value in downlink is 4.

[0090] (4) Whether the terminal device loads SCC (secondary component carrier).

[0091] For example, the default value is to load SCC.

[0092] (5) The maximum number of SCCs loaded by the terminal device.

[0093] For example, the value range is 1-7, and the default value is 7.

[0094] (6) The transmission rate limit of the terminal device.

[0095] For example, the terminal device limits the transmission rate of the application or service corresponding to the network slice, the rate limiting range is 1-2000, the unit is Mbps, and the default is 2000.

[0096] It should be noted that the device power consumption strategy in the above embodiment is only an example and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions of the present application. Other possible device power consumption strategies are within the protection scope of the present application.

[0097] As can be seen from the above embodiment, the device power consumption strategy includes configuration of at least one of the above-mentioned parameters. It should be understood that different network slices can be configured with different parameter sets, that is, different applications or services can be configured with different parameter sets.

[0098] Step 202, determining the device power consumption strategy corresponding to the target application according to the device power consumption configuration information.

[0099] In this embodiment, the target application is an application with information transmission requirements in the terminal device.

[0100] In an optional embodiment of this embodiment, the device power consumption configuration information includes the correspondence between the path descriptor describing the application attribute and the device power consumption strategy. When the terminal device establishes the network slice corresponding to the target application based on the path descriptor, the device power consumption strategy corresponding to the target application is determined according to the correspondence between the path descriptor and the device power consumption strategy.

[0101] In an optional embodiment of this embodiment, the device power consumption configuration information includes the correspondence between the routing descriptor describing the data bearer attribute and the device power consumption strategy. When the terminal device establishes the network slice corresponding to the target application based on the routing descriptor, the device power consumption strategy corresponding to the target application is determined according to the correspondence between the routing descriptor and the device power consumption strategy.

[0102] Step 203, performing information interaction with the network device by using the device power consumption strategy corresponding to the target application.

[0103] If the terminal device successfully establishes the network slice corresponding to the target application, the device power consumption strategy corresponding to the target application can be determined through step 202, the device power consumption strategy corresponding to the target application is activated, and information interaction with the network device is performed by using the device power consumption strategy corresponding to the target application.

[0104] In a possible implementation, when the terminal device establishes a network slice corresponding to a target application based on a path descriptor matching a URSP rule, a device power consumption strategy corresponding to a target path descriptor can be determined according to a correspondence between the path descriptor and the device power consumption strategy in the device power consumption configuration information. If a slice pipe corresponding to the target path descriptor is successfully established, the terminal device activates the device power consumption strategy corresponding to the target path descriptor and interacts with the network device. The target path descriptor indicates an identifier of the target application.

[0105] In a possible implementation, when the terminal device establishes a network slice corresponding to a target application based on a path descriptor matching a URSP rule, a device power consumption strategy corresponding to a target path descriptor can be determined according to a correspondence between the path descriptor and the device power consumption strategy in the device power consumption configuration information. If a slice pipe corresponding to the target path descriptor is successfully established, the terminal device activates the device power consumption strategy corresponding to the target path descriptor and interacts with the network device. The target path descriptor indicates an identifier of the target application.

[0106] Optionally, in some embodiments, if the terminal device deletes a network slice corresponding to a target application, the terminal device deactivates the device power consumption strategy corresponding to the target application.

[0107] Optionally, in some embodiments, the terminal device interacts with other terminal devices using the device power consumption strategy corresponding to the target application. For example, Figure 1 The terminal device 11 shown in FIG. 1 interacts with other terminal devices using the device power consumption strategy corresponding to the target application determined in step 202. Figure 1 The terminal device 12 shown in FIG. 1 interacts with other terminal devices using the device power consumption strategy corresponding to the target application determined in step 202.

[0108] It should be noted that the application in the above embodiments can also be replaced by a service, and the device power consumption configuration information can be used to indicate device power consumption strategies corresponding to different services.

[0109] The device power consumption control method shown in the embodiments of the present application receives device power consumption configuration information, the device power consumption configuration information is used to indicate device power consumption strategies corresponding to different applications, determines a device power consumption strategy corresponding to a target application according to the device power consumption configuration information, and then interacts with a network device using the device power consumption strategy corresponding to the target application. The target application is an application in the terminal device that has a demand for information transmission. The above solution does not need to obtain a device power consumption strategy from the network side, realizes autonomous selection of a device power consumption strategy by the terminal device, can further reduce device power consumption, and realizes energy saving.

[0110] Figure 3 The device power consumption control method provided in the embodiments of the present application is shown in the flowchart Figure 2 The device power consumption control method provided in the embodiments of the present application is shown in the flowchart Figure 3 The device power consumption control method provided in the embodiments of the present application is shown in the flowchart Figure 4As shown, the device power consumption control method of the embodiment further includes:

[0111] In step 301, if the terminal device performs information interaction with the network device for multiple target applications in the same time period, the device power consumption strategy corresponding to each target application is acquired.

[0112] In step 302, the same device power consumption strategy corresponding to the multiple target applications is used to perform information interaction with the network device for the multiple target applications. Alternatively,

[0113] In step 303, all device power consumption strategies corresponding to the multiple target applications are used to perform information interaction with the network device for the multiple target applications.

[0114] It should be understood that the same device power consumption strategy corresponding to the multiple target applications in step 302 can be understood as the intersection of the device power consumption strategies corresponding to the multiple target applications. All device power consumption strategies corresponding to the multiple target applications in step 303 can be understood as the union of the device power consumption strategies corresponding to the multiple target applications.

[0115] In an optional embodiment of the embodiment, if the terminal device successfully establishes multiple network slices based on the path descriptor, the terminal device acquires the device power consumption strategy corresponding to each target path descriptor, takes the intersection of the device power consumption strategies corresponding to the multiple target path descriptors, and activates the corresponding device power consumption strategy. The target path descriptor indicates the identifier of the target application.

[0116] In an optional embodiment of the embodiment, if the terminal device successfully establishes multiple network slices based on the path descriptor, the terminal device acquires the device power consumption strategy corresponding to each target path descriptor, takes the union of the device power consumption strategies corresponding to the multiple target path descriptors, and activates the corresponding device power consumption strategy.

[0117] In an optional embodiment of the embodiment, if the terminal device successfully establishes multiple network slices based on the NSSAI, the terminal device acquires the device power consumption strategy corresponding to each target NSSAI, takes the intersection of the device power consumption strategies corresponding to the multiple target NSSAIs, and activates the corresponding device power consumption strategy. The target NSSAI corresponds to the identifier of the target application.

[0118] In an optional embodiment of the embodiment, if the terminal device successfully establishes multiple network slices based on the NSSAI, the terminal device acquires the device power consumption strategy corresponding to each target NSSAI, takes the union of the device power consumption strategies corresponding to the multiple target NSSAIs, and activates the corresponding device power consumption strategy.

[0119] For example, the terminal device successfully establishes multiple network slices, such as TR1, TR1 and TR3, which correspond to application 1, application 2 and application 3 respectively, wherein the device power consumption policy corresponding to TR1 is policy 1 and policy 2, the device power consumption policy corresponding to TR2 is policy 2, and the device power consumption policy corresponding to TR3 is policy 2 and policy 3. For example, policy 1 is that the maximum uplink transmission power is 23dbm, policy 2 is that the maximum number of uplink transmission antennas is 2, and policy 3 is to load SCC.

[0120] In a possible implementation, the intersection of the device power consumption policies corresponding to the three network slices is taken, for example, policy 2 is used to interact with the network device for application 1, 2 and 3.

[0121] In a possible implementation, the union of the device power consumption policies corresponding to the three network slices is taken, for example, policies 1, 2 and 3 are used to interact with the network device for application 1, 2 and 3.

[0122] In an optional embodiment of the embodiment, if the terminal device deletes one or more network slices in the multiple network slices, the terminal device deactivates the device power consumption policy that is not needed. For the device power consumption policy corresponding to the network slice still existing, the intersection or union is taken, and the device power consumption policy not in the intersection or union is deactivated.

[0123] The device power consumption control method shown in the embodiment of the present application is used when the terminal device simultaneously establishes multiple network slices. The terminal device obtains the device power consumption policy corresponding to the multiple network slices (or the device power consumption policy corresponding to the target application of the multiple network slices) according to the device power consumption configuration information, and interacts with the network device for multiple target applications according to the intersection or union of the device power consumption policies corresponding to the multiple network slices. The above scheme does not need to obtain the device power consumption policy from the network side, realizes the self-selection of the device power consumption policy by the terminal device, can further reduce the device power consumption, and realizes energy saving.

[0124] The device power consumption control method provided by the embodiment of the present application is described above, and the device power consumption control device provided by the embodiment of the present application will be described below.

[0125] The device power consumption control device can be divided into functional modules according to the method embodiment described above, for example, each functional module can be divided according to each function, or two or more functions can be integrated into one processing module. The integrated module can be realized in the form of hardware or in the form of a software functional module.

[0126] It should be noted that the division of the modules in the embodiments of the present application is illustrative, and is only a logical function division. Actual implementation can have another division manner. The following will be described by taking the division of each functional module corresponding to each function as an example.
