Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular to an information processing method and device. Background Art

[0002] In current New Radio (NR) systems, all System Information Blocks (SIBs), except SIB1, can be set to on-demand broadcast mode. Minimal Drive Test (MDT) discusses the statistics and reporting mechanism for on-demand System Information Requests (SI requests). By collecting and reporting information such as the type of SIBs requested on-demand by User Equipment (UE) and the number of times a SIB is requested, the network can more accurately determine whether a SIB needs to be broadcast or optimize resource allocation.

[0003] Currently, it's mentioned that a remote UE (hereinafter referred to as the remote UE) can request system information through a relay UE (hereinafter referred to as the relay UE). When the remote UE is in idle / inactive state, it requests system information from the relay UE via a direct communication interface Radio Resource Control (PC5-RRC) message. The relay UE triggers the traditional system information acquisition process to obtain the system information and forwards it to the remote UE. When the remote UE is in connected state, it can obtain system information using a dedicated SIB request.

[0004] However, for the scenarios of remote UE and relay UE, how to collect statistics of on-demand SI request information becomes an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0240] In embodiments of the present invention, the term "and / or" describes the association relationship between associated objects, indicating that three possible relationships exist. For example, "A and / or B" can represent three situations: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0241] In the embodiments of the present application, the term "plurality" refers to two or more than two, and other quantifiers are similar.

[0242] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0243] First, some concepts related to the embodiments of the present invention are described as follows.

[0244] NR system information

[0245] System information is divided into the Master Information Block (MIB) and a series of System Information Blocks (SIBs), which can be divided into Minimum System Information (Minimum SI) and Other System Information (Other SI). Minimum SI includes MIB messages and SIB1 messages, which are transmitted through the broadcast channel (BCH) and the downlink shared channel (DL-SCH) respectively, and the transmission method is periodic broadcast; other SIBs are collectively referred to as Other SI, which contains all other system information except Minimum SI, and the transmission method can be periodic broadcast or on-demand broadcast based on UE request allocation. Different SIBs can be included in one or more System Information messages and transmitted through the DL-SCH downlink channel.

[0246] Other SI

[0247] For general Other SI, its transmission methods can be divided into two categories: periodic broadcast and UE-requested allocation (on-demand) broadcast. However, for system information related to the Public Warning System (PWS), a special transmission mechanism is used.

[0248] Periodic broadcast mode: The network device continuously sends the SI message in the SI time window corresponding to the SI message calculated according to the formula;

[0249] Based on UE request allocation (on-demand) broadcast mode: If there is no UE request, the network device does not send the SI message. If the UE sends a request to the network device, the network device will send the SI message within a period of time in the SI time window corresponding to the SI message calculated according to the formula;

[0250] PWS: PWS includes the Earthquake and Tsunami Warning System (ETWS) and the Commercial Mobile Alert Service (CMAS). The corresponding SIB6 / 7 / 8 cannot be obtained on-demand, nor are they broadcast periodically. When ETWS / CMAS information needs to be sent, the network device sends a PWS indication via a paging short message and simultaneously sends the actual SIB6 / 7 / 8 for the UE to read.

[0251] On-demand SI method to request system information

[0252] For the on-demand broadcast method based on UE request allocation, the protocol defines two optional methods. Network equipment can select one of them to configure for the UE according to its own needs. Both methods are implemented by triggering the random access process.

[0253] Msg1 based mode (provides information such as preamble value, dedicated random access channel (RACH) resources, mask, etc.). If the UE receives SI-RequestConfig / SI-Request Config SUL in SIB1 scheduling information, the Msg1 based system information request mode is used by default: requesting all unbroadcasted SI; a separate request for each currently unbroadcasted SI;

[0254] Msg3 based mode (using bitmap mode), if the UE receives SIB1 scheduling information without SI-Request Config / SI-Request Config SUL, the default Msg3 based contention random access mode is used: requesting one or more SIs required.

[0255] Connected on-demand SI request

[0256] In the current mechanism, connected state on-demand SI requests only include side link-related SIB12, SIB13, SIB14, and positioning-related system information requests. The UE can request the required SIBs through the Dedicated SIB Request message, and the network device can send the system information requested by the UE through the Radio Resource Control (RRC) reconfiguration message. When the UE sends the Dedicated SIB Request message, the UE starts a prohibit timer. Before this timer expires, the UE will no longer send on-demand SI messages to the network device, thus avoiding the UE triggering on-demand SI requests too frequently.

[0257] Idle / inactive on-demand SI request

[0258] In the current mechanism, an idle / inactive on-demand SI request can request all system information except the minimum SI. The UE requests the required system information through Msg1 or Msg3, and the network device broadcasts the requested system information.

[0259] In order to expand network coverage, one solution is to introduce a relay. A relay can be a terminal with relay functionality.

[0260] For UE-to-Network Relay, the interface between the Relay and the network device uses the Uu interface, and the interface between the Relay and the remote UE uses a direct communication interface (Sidelink interface or PC5 interface). The link between the Relay and the network is called the backhaul link (BH) for the remote UE.

[0261] For UE-to-UE relay, two relayed UEs can perform data transmission through the relay UE.

[0262] The schematic diagram of UE-to-Network Relay is as follows Figure 1 shown.

[0263] Remote UE on-demand SI request and acquisition

[0264] The Rel-17 Side Link Relay project discussed and approved the ability for a remote UE (remote UE) to request system information through a relay UE (relay UE). When the remote UE is in the idle / inactive state, it requests system information from the relay UE via a PC5-RRC message. The relay UE triggers the traditional system information acquisition process to obtain the system information and forward it to the remote UE. When the remote UE is in the connected state, it can obtain system information using a Dedicated SIB Request.

[0265] The embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0266] The embodiments of the present invention provide an information processing method and apparatus. The method and apparatus are based on the same patent application concept. Since the method and apparatus solve similar problems, the implementation of the apparatus and method can refer to each other, and the repeated parts will not be repeated.

[0267] like Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an information processing method applied to a relay terminal, including:

[0268] Step 201: The relay terminal obtains association information related to an on-demand system information (SI) request, where the association information includes first association information generated when the relay terminal triggers the on-demand SI request.

[0269] In the embodiment of the present invention, in the relay scenario, when the relay terminal triggers an on-demand SI request (including planning to trigger an on-demand SI request), first-level association information is generated, and the relay terminal can obtain (collect) the first association information.

[0270] Step 202: The relay terminal sends the association information to the network device.

[0271] In the embodiment of the present invention, in a relay scenario, after executing step 201 , the relay terminal sends association information including at least the first association information to the network device for optimization of the network device.

[0272] It should be noted that the network device in the embodiment of the present invention may be, but is not limited to: a base station or a centralized control unit (CU).

[0273] Optionally, the first association information includes any one or more of the following information:

[0274] The first sub-association information generated when the relay terminal actively triggers an on-demand SI request and the request is successful;

[0275] Second sub-association information generated when the relay terminal actively triggers an on-demand SI request and the request is unsuccessful;

[0276] The relay terminal plans to request but does not request the generated third sub-association information;

[0277] Fourth sub-association information generated when the relay terminal passively triggers an on-demand SI request and the request is successful;

[0278] The fifth sub-association information generated when the relay terminal passively triggers an on-demand SI request and the request is unsuccessful;

[0279] The relay terminal passively triggers an on-demand SI request and does not request the generated sixth sub-association information;

[0280] The on-demand SI request passively triggered by the relay terminal includes an on-demand SI request passively triggered by receiving a system information request message sent by a remote terminal.

[0281] Here, the sixth sub-association information may be that the system information requested by the remote terminal on-demand SI has been stored in the relay terminal or has been broadcast, and the sub-association information requested by the relay terminal on-demand SI is not needed.

[0282] It should be noted that the relay terminal obtains the first-level contact information generated by triggering the on-demand SI request in the following three ways:

[0283] Method 1: The relay terminal only counts the association information generated by the on-demand SI request triggered by itself, and does not count the association information generated by the on-demand SI request triggered by the remote terminal. In this case, the first association information includes: first sub-association information generated when the relay terminal actively triggers the on-demand SI request and the request is successful; second sub-association information generated when the relay terminal actively triggers the on-demand SI request and the request is unsuccessful; and third sub-association information generated when the relay terminal plans to request but does not make the request.

[0284] Method 2: The relay terminal counts the association information generated by its own on-demand SI request triggering, and counts the association information generated by the on-demand SI request passively triggered based on the system information request message sent by the remote terminal. At this time, the association information generated based on the on-demand SI request triggered by the remote terminal can also be marked for network distinction. At this time, the first association information includes: first sub-association information generated by the relay terminal actively triggering the on-demand SI request and the request is successful; second sub-association information generated by the relay terminal actively triggering the on-demand SI request and the request is unsuccessful; third sub-association information generated by the relay terminal planning to request but not requesting; fourth sub-association information generated by the relay terminal passively triggering the on-demand SI request and the request is successful; fifth sub-association information generated by the relay terminal passively triggering the on-demand SI request and the request is unsuccessful; sixth sub-association information generated by the relay terminal passively triggering the on-demand SI request and not requesting;

[0285] Method three: The remote terminal does not count the association information generated by its own on-demand SI request, and the relay terminal counts the association information generated by its own on-demand SI request, and counts the association information generated based on the remote terminal triggering the on-demand SI request; in this case, the first association information includes: the first sub-association information generated by the relay terminal actively triggering the on-demand SI request and the request is successful; the second sub-association information generated by the relay terminal actively triggering the on-demand SI request and the request is unsuccessful; the third sub-association information generated by the relay terminal planning to request but not requesting; the fourth sub-association information generated by the relay terminal passively triggering the on-demand SI request and the request is successful; the fifth sub-association information generated by the relay terminal passively triggering the on-demand SI request and the request is unsuccessful; the sixth sub-association information generated by the relay terminal passively triggering the on-demand SI request and not requesting.

[0286] Here, "used for network differentiation" means that after receiving the association information, the network device can know that the marked association information is requested by the relay terminal for the remote terminal, and the unmarked association information is requested by the relay terminal itself.

[0287] In addition, in this embodiment,

[0288] The first sub-association information generated when the relay terminal actively triggers the on-demand SI request and the request is successful can be understood as the sub-association information that the relay terminal intends to request;

[0289] The second sub-association information generated when the relay terminal actively triggers an on-demand SI request and the request is unsuccessful can be understood as the sub-association information that the relay terminal intends to request;

[0290] The relay terminal plans to request but does not request the generated third sub-association information. Optionally, the third association information can be understood as the sub-association information that the relay terminal intends to request;

[0291] The fourth sub-association information generated when the relay terminal passively triggers the on-demand SI request and the request is successful can be understood as the sub-association information that the relay terminal intends to request;

[0292] The fifth sub-association information generated when the relay terminal passively triggers an on-demand SI request and the request is unsuccessful can be understood as the sub-association information that the relay terminal intends to request;

[0293] The relay terminal passively triggers the on-demand SI request and does not request the generated sixth sub-association information; this can be understood as the sub-association information that the relay terminal intends to request.

[0294] Optionally, the association information includes any one or more of the following:

[0295] The type of system information requested;

[0296] Number of requests;

[0297] The type of the terminal requesting the system information, wherein the terminal type includes a relay terminal and / or a remote terminal;

[0298] The number of terminals requesting the system information;

[0299] The terminal identifier for requesting the system information.

[0300] That is, in the embodiment of the present invention, the association information may simultaneously record one or more of the following information:

[0301] The type of system information requested;

[0302] Number of requests;

[0303] The type of terminal requesting system information; specifically, the relay terminal can display in the statistics of each associated information whether the request is requested by the relay terminal or the remote terminal, or whether both the relay terminal and the remote terminal are required;

[0304] The number of remote terminals requesting information; specifically, since the relay terminal can communicate with multiple remote terminals, the relay terminal can display information indicating the number of remote terminals requesting information in the statistics of each associated information;

[0305] The identification of the terminal requesting the system information; specifically, the identification information of the remote terminal is recorded, and the indication is displayed in the statistics of each associated information for which remote terminal the request is made.

[0306] In this embodiment, the remote terminal-based associated information can be recorded in a new entry or a new report and recorded separately. Of course, it can also be recorded together with its own associated information, which will not be repeated here.

[0307] Optionally, after obtaining associated information related to the on-demand system information SI request, the method further includes:

[0308] If the relay terminal is in a connected state, a first notification message is sent to the network device, where the first notification message is used to inform the network device that the associated information is stored in the relay terminal.

[0309] It should be noted that when the relay terminal is in a connected state, the relay terminal reports a first notification message in the uplink completion message. The first notification message may carry content including: informing the network device of the terminal type, terminal status and other information related to the associated information stored in the relay terminal.

[0310] Optionally, when the relay terminal counts the association information generated by its own triggered (actively triggered) on-demand SI request, and counts the association information generated based on the remote terminal triggered (passively triggered) on-demand SI request, the relay terminal reports one or two separate first notification messages in the uplink completion message to indicate that the relay terminal stores the association information of the relay terminal and the remote terminal.

[0311] Optionally, the relay terminal sending the association information to the network device includes:

[0312] receiving a first association information acquisition request sent by a network device, where the first association information acquisition request is used to request association information stored by the relay terminal;

[0313] According to the associated information acquisition request, associated information that meets the associated information acquisition request is sent to the network device.

[0314] It should be noted that if the network device wants to obtain the association information counted by the relay terminal, the network device will send a first association information acquisition request to the relay terminal, instructing the relay terminal to report the corresponding association information. After receiving this first association information acquisition request, the relay terminal reports the association information stored in the relay terminal.

[0315] It should also be noted that when the relay terminal counts its own association information and counts the association information of the remote terminal, the network device can request the relay terminal to report the association information of the relay terminal and / or the association information of the remote terminal, that is, send a first association information acquisition request to request the relay terminal to report the association information of the relay terminal and / or the association information of the remote terminal, or send two first association information acquisition requests to request the relay terminal to report the association information of the relay terminal and the association information of the remote terminal respectively.

[0316] Exemplarily, if the first association information acquisition request includes a terminal type, the relay terminal sends the stored association information corresponding to the terminal type to the network device. For example, if the terminal type is a remote terminal, the relay terminal sends the stored association information corresponding to the remote terminal to the network device.

[0317] If the first association information acquisition request includes the terminal status, the relay terminal sends the stored association information corresponding to the terminal status to the network device. For example, if the terminal status is connected, the relay terminal sends the stored association information corresponding to the connection status to the network device.

[0318] If the first association information acquisition request includes the number of terminals, the relay terminal sends the stored association information corresponding to the number of terminals to the network device. For example, if the number of terminals is N, the relay terminal sends the stored association information of N terminals to the network device.

[0319] If the first association information acquisition request includes the identifier of the terminal, the relay terminal sends the stored association information of the terminal corresponding to the identifier to the network device.

[0320] In an embodiment of the present invention, when the relay terminal counts association information triggered by a remote terminal, the remote terminal does not count association information triggered by itself. Instead, the relay terminal counts its own association information as well as the association information of the remote terminal. In an embodiment of the present invention, the relay terminal may not count association information generated by the remote terminal's active triggering, but rather the remote terminal itself counts association information and sends the counted association information to the relay terminal. Therefore, in this embodiment, the method may optionally further include:

[0321] Optionally, the association information further includes second association information generated by the remote terminal actively triggering an on-demand SI request;

[0322] The relay terminal obtains associated information related to the on-demand SI request, including:

[0323] Receive second association information sent by a remote terminal, where the second association information includes any one or more of the following:

[0324] The association information generated when the remote terminal actively triggers an on-demand SI request in a connected state and the request is successful;

[0325] The association information generated when the remote terminal actively triggers an on-demand SI request in a connected state and the request is unsuccessful;

[0326] association information generated when the remote terminal is in a connected state and is not requested and is planned to be requested;

[0327] association information generated by the remote terminal failing to successfully send a request to the relay terminal when the remote terminal is in a disconnected state;

[0328] association information generated by the remote terminal successfully sending a request to the relay terminal when the remote terminal is in a disconnected state;

[0329] The remote terminal is in a disconnected state and plans to request but does not request the generated association information.

[0330] That is, the remote terminal can send the association information generated by the successful on-demand SI request when it is in the connected state to the relay terminal for the relay terminal to use for statistics, recording and reporting; wherein, the association information generated by the successful on-demand SI request when the remote terminal is in the connected state is the association information that the remote terminal intends to request;

[0331] The remote terminal may also send the associated information generated when it actively triggers an on-demand SI request in a connected state and the request is unsuccessful to the relay terminal for the relay terminal to use for statistics, recording, and reporting. The associated information generated when the remote terminal actively triggers an on-demand SI request in a connected state and the request is unsuccessful is the associated information that the remote terminal intends to request.

[0332] The remote terminal may also send association information generated by the remote terminal when it is in a connected state and is not requested to the relay terminal for the relay terminal to count, record and report; wherein the association information generated by the remote terminal when it is in a connected state and is not requested is the association information that the remote terminal intends to request;

[0333] The remote terminal may also send association information generated when the remote terminal fails to send a request to the relay terminal when in a non-connected state to the relay terminal for the relay terminal to count, record, and report; wherein the association information generated when the remote terminal fails to send a request to the relay terminal when in a non-connected state is the association information that the remote terminal intends to request;

[0334] The remote terminal may also send association information generated by successfully sending a request to the relay terminal when the remote terminal is in a non-connected state to the relay terminal for statistics, recording, and reporting by the relay terminal; wherein the association information generated by successfully sending a request to the relay terminal when the remote terminal is in a non-connected state is the association information that the remote terminal intends to request;

[0335] The remote terminal may also send association information generated when it is in a non-connected state and plans to request but does not request to the relay terminal for statistics, recording and reporting by the relay terminal; wherein the association information generated when the remote terminal is in a non-connected state and plans to request but does not request is the association information that the remote terminal intends to request.

[0336] In this way, after receiving the associated information, the relay terminal can perform more accurate statistics.

[0337] It should be noted that "failed to successfully send a request to the relay terminal" means that the remote terminal failed to successfully send a request to the relay terminal for the on-demand SI.

[0338] Corresponding to the above-mentioned method 1, the relay terminal does not count the second association information of the remote terminal, and the second association information here is obtained by the remote terminal.

[0339] Corresponding to the above-mentioned method 2, the relay terminal does not count the second association information actively triggered by the remote terminal, but counts the association information generated by the on-demand SI request passively triggered based on the system information request message sent by the remote terminal. Then the second association information needs to be counted by the remote terminal and sent to the relay terminal. The second association information here includes: the association information generated when the remote terminal actively triggers the on-demand SI request and the request is successful when it is in a connected state; the association information generated when the remote terminal actively triggers the on-demand SI request and the request is unsuccessful when it is in a connected state; the association information generated when the remote terminal plans to request but does not request when it is in a connected state; the association information generated when the remote terminal fails to send a request to the relay terminal when it is in a non-connected state; the association information generated when the remote terminal plans to request but does not request when it is in a non-connected state.

[0340] Corresponding to the above-mentioned method three, the second association information sent by the remote terminal includes: the association information generated when the remote terminal actively triggers an on-demand SI request and the request is successful when the remote terminal is in a connected state; the association information generated when the remote terminal actively triggers an on-demand SI request and the request is unsuccessful when the remote terminal is in a connected state; the association information generated when the remote terminal plans to request but does not request when the remote terminal is in a connected state; the association information generated when the remote terminal fails to successfully send a request to the relay terminal when the remote terminal is in a non-connected state; the association information generated when the remote terminal successfully sends a request to the relay terminal when the remote terminal is in a non-connected state; the association information generated when the remote terminal plans to request but does not request when the remote terminal is in a non-connected state.

[0341] Optionally, the relay terminal obtains associated information related to the on-demand system information SI request, including:

[0342] receiving first configuration information sent by a network device, where the first configuration information is used to instruct the relay terminal whether to obtain association information related to the on-demand SI request triggered by the remote terminal;

[0343] If the configuration information instructs the relay terminal to obtain association information related to the on-demand SI request triggered by the remote terminal, receive second association information sent by the remote terminal, where the second association information is association information generated by the remote terminal actively triggering the on-demand SI request;

[0344] And / or, determining an on-demand SI request passively triggered by receiving a system information request message sent by a remote terminal, and obtaining one or more of the fourth sub-association information, the fifth sub-association information, and the sixth sub-association information generated by the passively triggered on-demand SI request.

[0345] It should be noted that how the relay terminal counts the association information related to the on-demand SI request triggered by the remote terminal can be determined by the relay terminal itself or configured by the network device. Exemplarily, the relay terminal can obtain the association information related to the on-demand SI request triggered by the remote terminal according to the first configuration information sent by the network device. When the first configuration information instructs the relay terminal to obtain the association information related to the on-demand SI request triggered by the remote terminal, the relay terminal receives the association information generated by the active triggering of the on-demand SI request obtained by the remote terminal;

[0346] The relay terminal can also directly obtain one or more of the fourth sub-association information, the fifth sub-association information, and the sixth sub-association information generated by the passively triggered on-demand SI request when determining that the on-demand SI request is passively triggered due to receiving a system information request message sent by the remote terminal.

[0347] Optionally, the relay terminal obtains associated information related to the on-demand system information SI request, including:

[0348] Acquire, according to the designated terminal state included in the first configuration information sent by the network device, association information related to the on-demand SI request generated in the designated terminal state;

[0349] The designated terminal state includes one or more of a connected state, an idle state, and an inactive state.

[0350] It should be noted that, when the relay terminal obtains the association information related to the on-demand SI request triggered by the remote terminal according to the first configuration information sent by the network device, the network device may include one or more of the following information in the first configuration information:

[0351] The first statistical indication information is used to instruct the relay terminal to count all states of the remote terminal or the state in which the on-demand SI request is actively triggered, wherein all states of the remote terminal or the state in which the on-demand SI request is actively triggered is the designated terminal state;

[0352] The second statistical indication information is used to instruct the relay terminal not to count all states of the remote terminal or the associated information generated by actively triggering the on-demand SI request in which state; wherein, the state of the remote terminal other than all states or the said state is the specified terminal state.

[0353] It should also be noted that the designated terminal can be a relay terminal or a remote terminal.

[0354] In an embodiment of the present invention, if the network device wants to obtain the associated information related to the on-demand SI request generated in the specified terminal state counted by the relay terminal, it can be configured in the first configuration information to instruct the relay terminal to count the associated information related to the on-demand SI request generated in the specified terminal state.

[0355] Exemplarily, if the first configuration information includes the connection state of the remote terminal, the relay terminal obtains the associated information related to the on-demand SI request generated when the remote terminal is in the connected state. For another example, if the first configuration information includes the idle state of the relay terminal, the relay terminal obtains the associated information related to the on-demand SI request generated when the relay terminal is in the idle state.

[0356] In an embodiment of the present invention, it is configured as to who is responsible for counting the association information generated by the remote terminal when triggering the on-demand SI request. That is, the relay terminal can count the association information generated by the on-demand SI request that is passively triggered by receiving the system information request message sent by the remote terminal; or the remote terminal can count the association information generated by the on-demand SI request that is triggered (triggered in the connected state and / or triggered through the relay terminal in the idle state). This ensures that the relay terminal can accurately obtain the association information related to the on-demand SI request of the relay terminal and / or the remote terminal, and report the association information to the network device for optimization of the network device.

[0357] like Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention further provides an information processing method, applied to a remote terminal, comprising:

[0358] Step 301: The remote terminal obtains second associated information generated by the remote terminal actively triggering an on-demand system information (SI) request.

[0359] In the embodiment of the present invention, the remote terminal actively triggers an on-demand SI request to generate second associated information, and the remote terminal triggers an information acquisition process to acquire (collect) the second associated information.

[0360] Step 302: The remote terminal sends the second association information to a network device or a relay terminal.

[0361] In an embodiment of the present invention, in a relay scenario, after executing step 301, the remote terminal can accurately obtain the second association information of the on-demand SI request, and then directly send the second association information to the network device or send the second association information to the network device through the relay terminal for optimization of the network device.

[0362] It should be noted that the network device in the embodiment of the present invention may be, but is not limited to: a base station or a centralized control unit (CU).

[0363] Optionally, the second association information includes any one or more of the following:

[0364] The association information generated when the remote terminal actively triggers an on-demand SI request in a connected state and the request is successful;

[0365] The association information generated when the remote terminal actively triggers an on-demand SI request in a connected state and the request is unsuccessful;

[0366] association information generated when the remote terminal is in a connected state and is not requested and is planned to be requested;

[0367] association information generated by the remote terminal failing to successfully send a request to the relay terminal when the remote terminal is in a disconnected state;

[0368] association information generated by the remote terminal successfully sending a request to the relay terminal when the remote terminal is in a disconnected state;

[0369] The remote terminal is in a disconnected state and plans to request but does not request the generated association information.

[0370] It should be noted that, with respect to reporting to the network-side device, corresponding to the above-mentioned method 1, the relay terminal only counts the association information generated by itself triggering the on-demand SI request, and does not count the association information generated by the remote terminal triggering the on-demand SI request. At this time, the remote terminal counts the association information generated by itself triggering the on-demand SI request in the connected state and the non-connected state. The second association information includes: association information generated when the remote terminal actively triggers the on-demand SI request and the request is successful when in the connected state; association information generated when the remote terminal actively triggers the on-demand SI request and the request is unsuccessful when in the connected state; association information generated when the remote terminal plans to request but does not request when in the connected state; association information generated when the remote terminal fails to successfully send a request to the relay terminal when in the non-connected state; association information generated when the remote terminal successfully sends a request to the relay terminal when in the non-connected state; association information generated when the remote terminal plans to request but does not request when in the non-connected state;

[0371] Corresponding to the above-mentioned method 2, the relay terminal counts the association information generated by itself triggering the on-demand SI request, and counts the association information generated by passively triggering the on-demand SI request based on the system information request message sent by the remote terminal. At this time, the remote terminal counts the association information generated by itself triggering the on-demand SI request in the connected state, and the association information generated by failing to successfully send a request to the relay terminal in the non-connected state. The second association information includes: association information generated by the remote terminal actively triggering the on-demand SI request when in the connected state and the request is successful; association information generated by the remote terminal actively triggering the on-demand SI request when in the connected state and the request is unsuccessful; association information generated by the remote terminal planning to request but not making a request when in the connected state; association information generated by the remote terminal failing to successfully send a request to the relay terminal when in the non-connected state; association information generated by the remote terminal planning to request but not making a request when in the non-connected state;

[0372] Corresponding to the above-mentioned method 3, the remote terminal does not count the association information generated by its own on-demand SI request triggering. The relay terminal counts the association information generated by its own on-demand SI request triggering, as well as the association information generated based on the remote terminal triggering the on-demand SI request. In this case, the remote terminal does not count its own association information in connected or disconnected state. Of course, if the relay terminal implements the statistics in method 3, the remote terminal will send the second association information generated by the active on-demand SI request triggering to the relay terminal, assisting the relay terminal in completing the statistics reported to the network-side device.

[0373] Optionally, after obtaining the second association information generated by the remote terminal actively triggering the on-demand system information SI request, the method further includes:

[0374] If the remote terminal is in a connected state, a second notification message is sent to the network device, where the second notification message is used to inform the network device that the second association information is stored in the remote terminal.

[0375] In the embodiment of the present invention, when the remote terminal is in a connected state, a second notification message may be sent in an uplink completion message, and the network device is informed through the second notification message that the remote terminal stores the second association information.

[0376] Optionally, the remote terminal sending the second association information to the network device includes:

[0377] receiving a second association information acquisition request sent by a network device, where the second association information acquisition request is used to request association information stored by the remote terminal;

[0378] According to the second association information acquisition request, association information that satisfies the second association information acquisition request is sent to the network device.

[0379] It should be noted that if the network device wants to obtain the second associated information counted by the remote terminal, the network device will send a second associated information acquisition request to the remote terminal, instructing the remote terminal to report the corresponding associated information. After receiving this second associated information acquisition request, the remote terminal reports the associated information stored by the remote terminal.

[0380] Exemplarily, if the second association information acquisition request includes the terminal status, the remote terminal will send the stored association information corresponding to the terminal status to the network device. For example, if the terminal status is connected, the remote terminal will send the stored association information corresponding to the connection status to the network device.

[0381] Optionally, the remote terminal acquires second associated information generated by the remote terminal actively triggering an on-demand system information SI request, including:

[0382] Receive second configuration information sent by the network device, where the second configuration information is used to instruct the remote terminal whether to obtain second association information generated by the remote terminal actively triggering an on-demand SI request.

[0383] It should be noted that how the remote terminal collects the second association information can also be configured by the network device. For example, the remote terminal can obtain the second association information generated by the remote terminal actively triggering the on-demand SI request based on the second configuration information sent by the network device.

[0384] It should also be noted that the configuration information in the above-mentioned second configuration information indicating whether the remote terminal obtains the second associated information generated by the remote terminal actively triggering the on-demand SI request can be applied to both the air interface and the interface, where the interface includes the NG interface, S1 interface, F1 interface, etc.

[0385] Optionally, the remote terminal obtains associated information related to the on-demand system information SI request, including:

[0386] acquiring, according to the designated terminal state included in the second configuration information sent by the network device, association information related to the on-demand SI request generated in the designated terminal state;

[0387] The designated terminal state includes one or more of a connected state, an idle state, and an inactive state.

[0388] The remote terminal can obtain the second associated information generated by the remote terminal actively triggering the on-demand SI request according to the second configuration information sent by the network device

[0389] It should be noted that, when the remote terminal obtains the associated information related to the on-demand SI request triggered by the remote terminal according to the second configuration information sent by the network device, the network device may include one or more of the following information in the second configuration information:

[0390] The third statistical indication information is used to instruct the remote terminal to count the associated information generated by the active triggering of the on-demand SI request in all its states or in which state; wherein all states of the remote terminal or which state is the designated terminal state;

[0391] The fourth statistical indication information is used to instruct the remote terminal not to count the second associated information generated by the active triggering of the on-demand SI request in all its states or in which state; wherein, the state of the remote terminal other than all states or the said state is the specified terminal state.

[0392] It should also be noted that the third statistical indication information and / or the fourth statistical indication information in the above-mentioned second configuration information can be applicable to both air interfaces and interfaces, where the interfaces include NG interfaces, S1 interfaces, F1 interfaces, etc.

[0393] In an embodiment of the present invention, if the network device wants to obtain the associated information related to the on-demand SI request generated in the specified terminal state counted by the remote terminal, it can be configured in the second configuration information to instruct the remote terminal to count the associated information related to the on-demand SI request generated in the specified terminal state.

[0394] Exemplarily, if the second configuration information includes a connection state, the remote terminal obtains association information related to the on-demand SI request generated when the remote terminal is in the connection state.

[0395] In the embodiment of the present invention, the remote terminal can accurately obtain the associated information related to the on-demand SI request and report the associated information to the network device for optimization of the network device.

[0396] It should be noted that all descriptions of the information processing method applied to the remote terminal in the above embodiments are applicable to the embodiments of the information processing method applied to the relay terminal, and can achieve the same technical effects.

[0397] The following describes a process in which the remote terminal and the relay terminal respectively collect statistics on the associated information corresponding to the on-demand SI request with reference to a specific embodiment.

[0398] When the remote terminal in the idle state / inactive state / OOC state / connected state counts the association information corresponding to the on-demand SI request, the remote terminal obtains the association information (second association information), which may include the counted system information category, number of requests and other information; when the remote terminal enters the connected state, it can send indication information (second notification message) in the uplink completion message, indicating that the remote terminal has stored the association information. When the network device wants to obtain this association information, the network device will send a request (second association information acquisition request) to the remote terminal, instructing the remote terminal to report the association information. After receiving the request, the remote terminal reports the stored association information.

[0399] When the relay terminal in the idle state / inactive state / OOC state / connected state counts the association information corresponding to the on-demand SI request, the relay terminal obtains the association information (first association information), which may include the counted system information category, number of requests and other information; when the relay terminal enters the connected state, it can send indication information (first notification message) in the uplink completion message, indicating that the relay terminal has stored the association information. When the network device wants to obtain this association information, the network device will send a request (first association information acquisition request) to the relay terminal, instructing the relay terminal to report the association information. After receiving the request, the relay terminal reports the stored association information.

[0400] The statistical association between the relay terminal and the remote terminal can also be configured by the network device. Specifically, the network device can include the following two pieces of information in the configuration information:

[0401] First configuration information: displays the association information corresponding to the on-demand SI request of the remote terminal, indicating that the relay terminal does not count the statistics;

[0402] Second configuration information: displays and instructs the remote terminal to collect statistics on the associated information corresponding to the on-demand SI request in all states.

[0403] The following describes a specific embodiment of the process of dividing the correlation information corresponding to the on-demand SI request of the remote terminal into two parts for statistical analysis.

[0404] When the remote terminal is in a connected state, the remote terminal's association information corresponding to the on-demand SI request is counted. When the remote terminal fails to successfully send the remote terminal's association information corresponding to the on-demand SI request to the relay terminal in an idle state / inactive state / OOC state, the remote terminal counts the association information corresponding to this on-demand SI request to obtain association information (second association information). The association information may include information such as the requested system information category and the number of requests. When the remote terminal enters a connected state, it may send indication information (second notification message) in an uplink completion message to indicate that the remote terminal has stored association information. When the network device wants to obtain this association information, the network device will send a request (first association information acquisition request) to the remote terminal, instructing the remote terminal to report the association information. After receiving the request, the remote terminal reports the stored association information.

[0405] A relay terminal in idle, inactive, or connected state counts the association information corresponding to the on-demand SI request of the remote terminal. Furthermore, a relay terminal in idle, inactive, or connected state counts the association information corresponding to the on-demand SI request generated by requests from remote terminals in idle, inactive, or OOC state to obtain association information. This association information may include the requested system information category, the number of requests, and other information. The relay terminal may also simultaneously count one or more of the following information:

[0406] The relay terminal can display in each association information statistics whether the on-demand SI request is requested by the relay terminal or the remote terminal, or whether both the relay terminal and the remote terminal require it;

[0407] The relay terminal may display in each association information statistics which remote terminals the request is for and the number of requested remote terminals;

[0408] Records the identification information of the remote terminal.

[0409] The associated information generated based on the remote terminal request is stored separately, in a new entry or a new report.

[0410] When the relay terminal enters the connected state, one or two separate indication messages (first notification messages) can be sent in the uplink completion message to indicate that the relay terminal has stored association information of the relay terminal and the remote terminal. When the network device wants to obtain this association information, the network device will send a request or two separate requests (first association information acquisition requests) to the relay terminal, instructing the relay terminal to report the association information of the relay terminal and / or the remote terminal. After receiving the indication message, the relay terminal reports the corresponding stored association information.

[0411] How the relay terminal and the remote terminal collect and collect association information may also be configured by the network device. Specifically, the network device may include two pieces of information in the configuration information:

[0412] First configuration information: displays and instructs the relay terminal to collect statistics on the remote terminal's idle state, inactive state, or OOC state association information;

[0413] Second configuration information: displays and instructs the remote terminal to collect statistics on its own association information in the connected state and the association information in the idle state, inactive state, and OOC state.

[0414] The following uses a specific embodiment to illustrate how a relay terminal counts association information corresponding to an on-demand SI request, while a remote terminal does not count association information corresponding to an on-demand SI request. Remote terminals in idle, inactive, OOC, or connected states do not count association information corresponding to an on-demand SI request (second association information).

[0415] A relay terminal in idle / inactive / connected state will collect statistics on its own association information corresponding to on-demand SI requests. In addition, a relay terminal in idle / inactive / connected state will collect statistics on the association information corresponding to the on-demand SI requests of the remote terminal based on the request of the remote terminal, and obtain the association information, which may include the requested system information category, the number of requests, etc. The relay terminal may also collect statistics on one or more of the following information at the same time:

[0416] The relay terminal may indicate in each association information statistics whether the request is requested by the relay terminal or the remote terminal, or whether both the relay terminal and the remote terminal require it;

[0417] The relay terminal may display in each association information statistics which remote terminals the request is for and the number of requested remote terminals;

[0418] Records the identification information of the remote terminal.

[0419] The statistical information of the on-demand system information requested based on the remote terminal request may be stored separately in a new entry or a new report.

[0420] If a remote terminal in a connected state fails to send association information to a network device, the remote terminal notifies the relay terminal for statistical recording and reporting by the relay terminal.

[0421] For association information that the remote terminal fails to send to the relay terminal in the idle state, inactive state, or connected state, the remote terminal notifies the relay terminal for statistical recording and reporting by the relay terminal.

[0422] When the relay terminal enters the connected state, an indication message or two separate indication messages (first notification messages) can be sent in the uplink completion message to indicate that the relay terminal has stored the association information of the relay terminal and the remote terminal. When the network device wants to obtain the association information, the network device sends a request or two separate requests (first association information acquisition request) to instruct the relay terminal to report the association information of the relay terminal and / or the remote terminal. After receiving the request, the relay terminal reports the corresponding stored association information.

[0423] In addition, how the relay terminal and the remote terminal collect the associated information may also be configured by the network device. Specifically, the network device may include the following two pieces of information in the configuration information:

[0424] First configuration information: displays and instructs the relay terminal to collect statistics on the association information of the remote terminal in all states;

[0425] Second configuration information: indicates that the remote terminal does not count its associated information in all states.

[0426] like Figure 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention further provides an information statistics processing method, which is applied to a network device for execution, comprising:

[0427] Step 401: The network device receives association information related to an on-demand system information (SI) request sent by a relay terminal, and / or second association information sent by a remote terminal;

[0428] The association information includes first association information generated by the relay terminal triggering the on-demand SI request;

[0429] The second association information is generated when the remote terminal actively triggers an on-demand SI request.

[0430] It should be noted that the network device receives information related to on-demand SI requests from the relay terminal and the remote terminal (collection) mainly in the following three ways:

[0431] Method 1: The remote terminal and relay terminal each collect their own association information corresponding to the on-demand SI request and send the association information to the network device. The network device receives the association information collected by the remote terminal and the association information collected by the relay terminal respectively.

[0432] Method 2: The association information corresponding to the on-demand SI request of the remote terminal is divided into two parts. One part is the association information collected by the remote terminal in the connected state, as well as the association information that the remote terminal itself failed to send to the relay terminal in the idle state, inactive state, or OOC state. This part of the association information is sent by the remote terminal to the network device. The other part is the association information requested by the remote terminal in the idle state, inactive state, or OOC state to the relay terminal. This part of the association information is sent by the relay terminal to the network device. Specifically, the relay terminal collects its own association information and the association information generated by the request of the remote terminal in the idle state, inactive state, or OOC state, and sends it to the network device.

[0433] Method 3: Only the relay terminal counts the association information corresponding to the on-demand SI request, while the remote terminal does not count the association information corresponding to the on-demand SI request. Only the relay terminal sends the association information to the network device.

[0434] In an embodiment of the present invention, in a relay scenario, the relay terminal and / or the remote terminal can obtain associated information related to an on-demand system information SI request and send the associated information to a network device for optimization of the network device, thereby solving the problem that the network device cannot accurately obtain the associated information of the on-demand system information request in the relay scenario.

[0437] Optionally, if the network device receives the second association information, before receiving the second association information sent by the remote terminal, the method further includes:

[0438] When receiving the remote terminal in the connected state, a second notification message is sent to the network device, where the second notification message is used to inform the network device that second association information is stored in the remote terminal.

[0439] Optionally, if the network device receives the association information, before receiving the association information related to the on-demand system information (SI) request sent by the relay terminal, the method further includes:

[0440] A first association information acquisition request is sent to the relay terminal, where the first association information acquisition request is used to request association information stored in the relay terminal.

[0441] Optionally, if the network device receives the second association information, before receiving the second association information sent by the remote terminal, the method further includes:

[0442] A second association information acquisition request is sent to the remote terminal, where the second association information acquisition request is used to request association information stored in the remote terminal.

[0443] Optionally, if the network device receives the association information, before receiving the association information related to the on-demand system information (SI) request sent by the relay terminal, the method further includes:

[0444] Sending first configuration information to the relay terminal, where the first configuration information is used to instruct the relay terminal whether to obtain association information related to the on-demand SI request triggered by the remote terminal.

[0445] Optionally, if the network device receives the second association information, before receiving the second association information sent by the remote terminal, the method further includes:

[0446] Sending second configuration information to the remote terminal, where the second configuration information is used to instruct the remote terminal whether to obtain second association information generated by the remote terminal actively triggering an on-demand SI request.

[0447] It should be noted that all descriptions of the information processing method applied to the network device in the above embodiments are applicable to the embodiments of the information processing method applied to the relay terminal and the remote terminal, and can achieve the same technical effects.
