Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of communication, and in particular to an information processing method, device and readable storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] Direct communication refers to a manner in which terminals in proximity perform data transmission through a direct communication link (also referred to as a Sidelink, SL). The direct communication link is also referred to as a sidelink. A wireless interface corresponding to the Sidelink link is referred to as a direct communication interface, also referred to as a Sidelink interface or a sidelink interface. In order to improve user experience, a Sidelink DRX (Discontinuous Reception) and / or DTX (Discontinuous Transmission) mechanism is introduced. For a direct communication receiver, a Sidelink DRX is used; and correspondingly, for a direct communication transmitter, a Sidelink DTX is used.

[0003] The Sidelink interface supports two resource allocation modes:

[0004] Mode 1: a network-scheduled resource allocation mode, that is, the network allocates transmission resources of the direct communication interface for the terminal;

[0005] Mode 2: a terminal-selected resource allocation mode, that is, the terminal selects transmission resources of the direct communication interface in a resource pool configured or preconfigured by the network.

[0006] For a terminal of a Sidelink groupcast / broadcast, if the terminal is in an RRC (Radio Resource Control) connected state and a network device configures the terminal to use Mode 1, then, according to a manner in which a terminal according to the prior art determines a Sidelink DRX / Sidelink DTX used by the terminal, how to enable the network device to learn the Sidelink DRX / Sidelink DTX configuration used by the terminal is a technical problem that needs to be solved.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, not all. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the present application.

[0205] The embodiments of the present application provide an information processing method and device, which are used to enable a network device to determine the SL DRX / SL DTX configuration used by a terminal for groupcast communication and / or broadcast communication of a direct communication interface, so as to ensure that the network device can accurately determine the active time of the terminal, thereby avoiding SL interface resource waste.

[0206] The method and the device are based on the same application concept. Since the principles of the method and the device for solving problems are similar, the implementation of the device and the method can be mutually referred to, and the repeated parts will not be described again.

[0207] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a flowchart of an information processing method provided by an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 , comprising the following steps:

[0208] Step 101, the terminal sends indication information to the network device.

[0209] The indication information is used to indicate the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration used by the terminal for groupcast communication of the direct communication interface, and / or the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration used by the terminal for broadcast communication of the direct communication interface; or the indication information is used to indicate the rule for the terminal to determine the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration used by the direct communication interface for groupcast communication, and / or the rule for the terminal to determine the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration used by the direct communication interface for broadcast communication; or the indication information is used to indicate whether the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration is used by the terminal for groupcast communication of the direct communication interface, and / or whether the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration is used by the terminal for broadcast communication of the direct communication interface.

[0210] I. When the indication information is used to indicate the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration used by the terminal for groupcast communication of the direct communication interface, and / or the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration used by the terminal for broadcast communication of the direct communication interface, the first information is used to: indicate the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration corresponding to the first L2 target address based on the first L2 target address; or indicate the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration corresponding to the combination of the first L2 target address and the SL transmission mode based on the combination of the first L2 target address and the SL transmission mode, the SL transmission mode including groupcast or broadcast. Wherein, the first L2 target address can be any L2 address of the terminal using the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration.

[0211] For example, the first information can indicate the SL DRX / SL DTX configuration corresponding to each L2 target address based on each L2 target address. Or, the first information can indicate the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration corresponding to the combination of each L2 target address and the SL transmission mode based on the combination of each L2 target address and the SL transmission mode.

[0212] In addition, in order to improve the consistency of the understanding of the base station and the terminal, the indication information further comprises second information. The second information is used to indicate that the second L2 target address does not use (such as does not need to use) the SL DRX configuration and / or the SL DTX configuration based on the second L2 target address; or the second information is used to indicate that the combination of the second L2 target address and the SL transmission mode does not use (such as does not need to use) the SL DRX configuration and / or the SL DTX configuration based on the combination of the second L2 target address and the SL transmission mode. The second L2 target address can be any L2 address of the terminal that does not use the SL DRX configuration and / or the SL DTX configuration.

[0213] In the embodiments of the present application, the indication information is transmitted in one or more of the following ways:

[0214] (1) transmitted through sidelinkUEInformation or UEAssitantInformation;

[0215] (2) transmitted through RRC signaling;

[0216] (3) transmitted through MAC CE.

[0217] In order to improve the flexibility of information transmission, the format of the MAC CE can be one or more of the following:

[0218] (1) includes LCID in the MAC header, which is used to identify the MAC CE; the MAC CE only includes the information of the SL DRX configuration and / or the SL DTX configuration corresponding to one L2 target address, or only includes the information of the SL DRX configuration and / or the SL DTX configuration corresponding to one combination of L2 target address and SL transmission mode. The LCID can be a new LCID. The "one L2 target address" or "one combination of L2 target address and SL transmission mode" can be any L2 address or combination of the terminal.

[0219] (2) includes LCID in the MAC header, which is used to identify the MAC CE. The MAC CE includes the information of the SL DRX configuration and / or the SL DTX configuration corresponding to each L2 target address related to the groupcast communication and / or the broadcast communication of the terminal direct communication interface, or includes the information of the SL DRX configuration and / or the SL DTX configuration corresponding to each combination of L2 target address and SL transmission mode related to the groupcast communication and / or the broadcast communication of the terminal direct communication interface. The LCID can be a new LCID.

[0220] In order to save signaling overhead, in the above manner, in the MAC CE, the L2 target address is identified by using the number of the L2 target address, or the combination of the L2 target address and the SL transmission mode is identified by using the number of the combination of the L2 target address and the SL transmission mode. Wherein, the number of the L2 target address or the number of the combination of the L2 target address and the SL transmission mode is determined according to the order of the L2 target address or the combination of the L2 target address and the SL transmission mode appearing in the sidelinkUEInformation. That is, in the field in the MAC CE for carrying the information of the L2 target address or the information of the combination of the L2 target address and the SL transmission mode, the identification of the L2 target address or the identification of the combination of the L2 target address and the SL transmission mode is carried.

[0221] Alternatively, in order to save signaling overhead, in the MAC CE, the SL DRX configuration and / or the SL DTX configuration corresponding to the L2 target address is identified by using the number of the SL DRX configuration and / or the SL DTX configuration, or the SL DRX configuration and / or the SL DTX configuration corresponding to the combination of the L2 target address and the SL transmission mode is identified by using the number of the SL DRX configuration and / or the SL DTX configuration. Wherein, the number of the SL DRX configuration and / or the SL DTX configuration is determined according to the order of the SL DRX configuration and / or the SL DTX configuration appearing in the SIB sent by the network device. That is, in the field in the MAC CE for carrying the SL DRX configuration and / or the SL DTX configuration corresponding to the L2 target address, or the SL DRX configuration and / or the SL DTX configuration corresponding to the combination of the L2 target address and the SL transmission mode, the number of the SL DRX configuration and / or the SL DTX configuration is carried.

[0222] II. When the indication information is used to indicate the rule that the terminal determines the SL DRX configuration and / or the SL DTX configuration used by the groupcast communication of the direct communication interface, and / or the rule that the terminal determines the SL DRX configuration and / or the SL DTX configuration used by the broadcast communication of the direct communication interface:

[0223] When there are multiple pre-defined (such as protocol agreement) rules for the terminal to determine the SL DRX configuration and / or the SL DTX configuration used by the groupcast communication of the direct communication interface, the indication information is used to indicate the number of the rule that the terminal determines the SL DRX configuration and / or the SL DTX configuration used by the groupcast communication of the direct communication interface. Wherein, the number corresponding to the rule can be explicitly agreed in the protocol, or can be implicitly determined according to the order of the rule.

[0224] When the terminal determines that the pre-defined (e.g., agreed by the protocol) rule for the multicast and / or broadcast communication using the SL DRX configuration and / or the SL DTX configuration of the direct communication interface is one of the rules, the indication information is used to indicate whether the pre-defined rule is used by the terminal based on each L2 destination address or based on the combination of each L2 destination address and SL transmission mode.

[0225] In the embodiments of the present application, the indication information is transmitted in one or more of the following ways:

[0226] (1) through sidelinkUEInformation;

[0227] (2) through RRC signaling;

[0228] (3) through MAC CE.

[0229] In order to improve the flexibility of information transmission, the format of the MAC CE can be one or more of the following:

[0230] (1) including LCID in the MAC subheader for identifying the MAC CE; the MAC CE only includes the number of rules used by the terminal when determining the SL DRX configuration and / or the SL DTX configuration of the multicast and / or broadcast communication of the direct communication interface or the indication information of whether the rules are used. The LCID can be a new LCID.

[0231] (2) including LCID in the MAC subheader for identifying the MAC CE; the MAC CE only includes one L2 destination address and the number of rules used when determining the SL DRX configuration and / or the SL DTX configuration corresponding to the L2 destination address or the indication information of whether the rules are used, or only includes one L2 destination address and the combination of SL transmission mode of the terminal and the number of rules used when determining the SL DRX configuration and / or the SL DTX configuration corresponding to the combination of the L2 destination address and the SL transmission mode or the indication information of whether the rules are used.

[0233] (3) including LCID in the MAC subheader for identifying the MAC CE; including each L2 destination address related to the multicast communication and / or the broadcast communication of the terminal direct communication interface and the number of rules used for determining the SL DRX configuration and / or the SL DTX configuration corresponding to the L2 destination address or the indication information of whether to use the rules, or including each L2 destination address related to the multicast communication and / or the broadcast communication of the terminal direct communication interface and the combination of SL transmission modes and the number of rules used for determining the SL DRX configuration and / or the SL DTX configuration corresponding to the combination of the L2 destination address and the SL transmission mode or the indication information of whether to use the rules.

[0234] The LCID can be a new LCID.

[0235] In order to save signaling overhead, in the above manner, in the MAC CE, the L2 destination address is identified by the number of the L2 destination address, or the combination of the L2 destination address and the SL transmission mode is identified by the number of the combination of the L2 destination address and the SL transmission mode. The number of the L2 destination address or the number of the combination of the L2 destination address and the SL transmission mode is determined according to the order of the L2 destination address or the combination of the L2 destination address and the SL transmission mode in the sidelinkUEInformation. That is, in the field for carrying the information of the L2 destination address or the information of the combination of the L2 destination address and the SL transmission mode in the MAC CE, the identification of the L2 destination address or the identification of the combination of the L2 destination address and the SL transmission mode is carried.

[0242] The third L2 target address can be any L2 address of the terminal that does not use the SL DRX configuration and / or the SL DTX configuration. The SL transmission mode includes groupcast, broadcast, etc.

[0243] In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal sends indication information to the network device, which is used to indicate the SL DRX configuration and / or the SL DTX configuration of the direct communication link used by the terminal for groupcast communication and / or broadcast communication of the direct communication interface, or used to indicate the rule for the terminal to determine the SL DRX configuration and / or the SL DTX configuration used by the terminal for groupcast communication and / or broadcast communication of the direct communication interface.

If SL DRX / SL DTX is to be used, the terminal further determines the SL DRX / SL DTX configuration used by the SL groupcast and / or broadcast communication of the terminal according to the correspondence between the QoS profile configured in the SIB of the base station and the SL DRX / SL DTX configuration. If the terminal corresponds to multiple sets of SL DRX / SL DTX configurations for one groupcast / broadcast L2 target address, the terminal can further perform down-selection processing to ensure that a unique set of SL DRX / SL DTX configurations is finally determined for each L2 target address.

[0271] If the terminal performs down-selection on the SL DRX / SL DTX configuration for SL groupcast / broadcast, if the terminal is in an RRC connected state and the network configures it to use Mode 1, according to the current process, the network device cannot know the specific SL DRX / SL DTX configuration used by the terminal after down-selection, and thus cannot ensure that the understanding of the network device and the terminal on the SL DRX / SL DTX configuration used by the terminal for SL groupcast / broadcast communication remains consistent, thereby affecting the scheduling of the network device on the SL interface of the terminal, and possibly causing the resources scheduled by the network device to be located in the Inactive time of the terminal, thereby causing waste of SL resources.

[0272] To avoid the above problems, in the embodiments of the present application, the direct communication terminal sends indication information to the network device, and the indication information is used to indicate the SL DRX / SL DTX configuration used by the terminal for SL interface groupcast / broadcast communication, or indicate the rule used by the terminal to determine the SL DRX / SL DTX configuration of the SL interface groupcast / broadcast communication.

[0273] In the following, the implementation process of the information processing method of the embodiments of the present application is described in combination with different embodiments. The network device can be a base station.

[0274] Referring to Figure 3 , Figure 3 is a flowchart of the information processing method of the embodiments of the present application. In Figure 3 the embodiments shown in the figure, the direct communication terminal sends indication information to the network device, and the indication information is used to indicate the SL DRX / SL DTX configuration used by the terminal for SL interface groupcast / broadcast. The method can include:

[0275] Step 301, the network device sends SIB broadcast.

[0276] The SIB broadcast includes the association indication information of the QoS profile and the SL DRX / SL DTX configuration for the SL interface groupcast / broadcast.

[0277] Step 302, the terminal determines the SL DRX / SL DTX configuration used by the SL interface groupcast / broadcast.

[0278] For the terminal of the SL groupcast / broadcast, the SL DRX / SL DTX configuration used by the SL interface of the connected terminal is determined as follows:

[0279] The network device configures the correspondence between the QoS profile and the SL DRX / SL DTX configuration of the terminal through the SIB.

[0280] The terminal determines whether to use the SL DRX / SL DTX according to the Tx profile, and if the SL DRX / SL DTX is to be used, further determines the SL DRX / SL DTX configuration used by the SL groupcast and / or broadcast according to the correspondence between the QoS profile and the SL DRX / SL DTX configuration configured in the SIB of the base station. If the terminal corresponds to multiple sets of SL DRX / SL DTX configurations for one groupcast / broadcast L2 target address or the combination of the target address and the Cast type, the terminal can further perform down-selection processing to ensure that a unique set of SL DRX / SL DTX configurations is finally determined for each L2 target address.

[0281] The specific down-selection processing method can be various, for example, one of the following methods can be used:

[0282] (1) For the SL groupcast / broadcast, for one L2 target address or the combination of the L2 target address and the Cast type, if the L2 target address or the combination of the L2 target address and the Cast type corresponds to multiple sets of SL DRX / SL DTX configurations, the combination of the onduration (the time period in which the terminal listens to the control channel in the DRX) in the multiple sets of SL DRX configurations is taken as the onduration of the new SL DRX configuration. For each timer, the longest timer in the multiple sets of SL DRX / SL DTX configurations is selected as the length of the timer in the new SL DRX / SL DTX configuration.

[0283] (2) For SL groupcast / broadcast, for a L2 destination address or a combination of L2 destination address and Cast type, select the logical channel with the highest priority among the logical channels for the L2 destination address or the combination of L2 destination address and Cast type, determine the QoS profile corresponding to the logical channel, and take the SL DRX / SL DTX configuration corresponding to the QoS profile as the new SL DRX / SL DTX configuration of the terminal.

[0284] Step 303, the terminal sends indication information to the network device.

[0285] The indication information is used to indicate the SL DRX / SL DTX configuration used by the terminal SL interface groupcast / broadcast. Specifically, the indication information design method can be one of the following:

[0286] (1) Indicate the SL DRX / SL DTX configuration corresponding to the L2 destination address based on the L2 destination address.

[0287] (2) Indicate the SL DRX / SL DTX configuration corresponding to the combination of L2 destination address and Cast type based on the combination of L2 destination address and Cast type, where Cast type specifically refers to groupcast or broadcast.

[0288] Further, for the L2 destination address or the combination of L2 destination address and Cast type that does not use (such as does not need to use) SL DRX / SL DTX in the terminal SL interface groupcast / broadcast, the terminal also needs to indicate in the indication information that the L2 destination address or the combination of L2 destination address and Cast type does not use SL DRX / SL DTX configuration.

[0289] Specifically, the transmission method of the indication information can be one of the following or a combination:

[0290] Carried by the existing sidelinkUEInformation or UEAssitantInformation;

[0291] Introduce new RRC signaling;

[0292] Introduce new MAC CE.

[0293] Specifically, the MAC CE format design can adopt one of the following or a combination:

[0294] (1) Use a new LCID in the MAC subheader to identify the MAC CE, which only contains the indication information of the SL DRX / SL DTX configuration corresponding to one L2 destination address or the combination of L2 destination address and Cast type of the terminal.

[0295] (2) Use a new LCID in the MAC subheader to identify the MAC CE, which contains the indication information of the SL DRX / SL DTX configuration corresponding to each L2 destination address or the combination of L2 destination address and Cast type related to the multicast communication and / or broadcast communication of the direct communication interface of the terminal (such as the current direct communication interface SL multicast / broadcast corresponding to).

[0296] Further, in order to save signaling overhead, when transmitting the indication information, the following optimization can also be made:

[0297] The L2 destination address or the combination of L2 destination address and Cast type can be identified by a number, and the specific number determination method can be determined according to the order of the L2 destination address or the combination of L2 destination address and Cast type appearing in sidelinkUEInformation.

[0298] The SL DRX / SL DTX configuration corresponding to the L2 destination address or the combination of L2 destination address and Cast type can also be identified by a number, and the specific number can be determined according to the order of the SL multicast / broadcast SL DRX / SL DTX configuration appearing in the SIB sent by the network device.

[0299] Referring to Figure 4 , Figure 4 is a flowchart of the information processing method of the embodiment of the present application. In Figure 4 the embodiment shown, a direct communication terminal sends indication information to a network device, and the indication information is used to indicate the rule of the terminal determining the use of the SL DRX / SL DTX configuration used by the SL interface multicast / broadcast. The method can include:

[0300] Step 401, the network device sends SIB broadcast.

[0301] Among them, the SIB broadcast contains the association relationship indication information of the QoS profile and the SL DRX / SL DTX configuration for the SL interface multicast / broadcast.

[0302] Step 402, the terminal determines the SL DRX / SL DTX configuration used by the SL interface multicast / broadcast.

[0303] For the terminal of SL groupcast / broadcast, the connection mode terminal determines the SL DRX / SL DTX configuration used by its SL interface as follows:

[0304] The network device configures the correspondence between the QoS profile and the SL DRX / SL DTX configuration of the terminal through the SIB.

[0305] The terminal determines whether to use the SL DRX / SL DTX according to the Tx profile, and if the SL DRX / SL DTX is to be used, further determines the SL DRX / SL DTX configuration used by the SL groupcast and / or broadcast according to the correspondence between the QoS profile and the SL DRX / SL DTX configuration configured in the SIB of the base station. If the terminal corresponds to multiple sets of SL DRX / SL DTX configurations for one groupcast / broadcast L2 target address or the combination of the target address and the Cast type, the terminal can further perform down-selection processing to ensure that a unique set of SL DRX / SL DTX configurations is finally determined for each L2 target address.

[0306] The specific down-selection processing method can be various, for example, one of the following methods can be used:

[0307] (1) For the SL groupcast / broadcast, for one L2 target address or the combination of the L2 target address and the Cast type, if the L2 target address or the combination of the L2 target address and the Cast type corresponds to multiple sets of SL DRX / SL DTX configurations, the combination of the onduration (the time period in which the terminal listens to the control channel in the DRX) in the multiple sets of SL DRX configurations is taken as the onduration of the new SL DRX configuration. For each timer, the longest timer in the multiple sets of SL DRX / SL DTX configurations is selected as the length of the timer in the new SL DRX / SL DTX configuration.

[0308] (2) For the SL groupcast / broadcast, for one L2 target address or the combination of the L2 target address and the Cast type, the highest-priority logical channel in the one L2 target address or the combination of the L2 target address and the Cast type is selected, the QoS profile corresponding to the logical channel is determined, and the SL DRX / SL DTX configuration corresponding to the QoS profile is taken as the new SL DRX / SL DTX configuration of the terminal.

[0309] Step 403, the terminal sends indication information to the network device.

[0310] The terminal determines the rule of using the SL DRX / DTX configuration used by the SL interface multicast / broadcast, and the specific implementation can be as follows:

[0311] (1) Multiple rules of terminal determining SL DRX / DTX configuration are agreed in the protocol. The terminal notifies the network device of the number corresponding to the rule in the indication information based on each L2 target address or the combination of L2 target address and Cast type. Wherein, the number corresponding to the rule can be explicitly agreed in the protocol, or implicitly determined according to the order of the rule.

[0312] (2) Only one rule of terminal determining SL DRX / DTX configuration is defined in the protocol. The terminal indicates whether the terminal uses the rule in the indication information based on each L2 target address or the combination of L2 target address and Cast type.

[0313] Wherein, the signaling used by the indication information can be one or a combination of the following:

[0314] (a) carried by sidelinkUEInformation;

[0315] (b) introduce new RRC signaling;

[0316] (c) introduce new MAC CE.

[0317] Wherein, the specific MAC CE format design can adopt one or a combination of the following:

[0318] (1) A new LCID is used in the MAC subheader to identify the MAC CE, and the MAC CE only includes one L2 target address and the number of the rule used to determine the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration corresponding to the L2 target address or the indication information of whether to use the rule, or only includes the combination of one L2 target address and SL transmission mode of the terminal and the number of the rule used to determine the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration corresponding to the combination of L2 target address and SL transmission mode or the indication information of whether to use the rule.

[0319] (2) Use a new LCID in the MAC subheader to identify the MAC CE, which includes each L2 destination address related to the terminal direct communication interface groupcast communication and / or broadcast communication and the number of rules used to determine the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration corresponding to the L2 destination address and / or the indication information of whether to use the rules, or includes each L2 destination address related to the terminal direct communication interface groupcast communication and / or broadcast communication and the combination of SL transmission modes and the number of rules used to determine the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration corresponding to the L2 destination address and SL transmission mode combination and / or the indication information of whether to use the rules.

[0320] (3) Use a new LCID in the MAC subheader to identify the MAC CE. The MAC CE only includes the number of rules used by the terminal to determine the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration used by the direct communication interface groupcast and / or broadcast communication or the indication information of whether to use the rules.

[0321] As can be seen from the above description, the scheme of the embodiments of the present application can ensure the consistency of the understanding of the SL DRX and / or SL DRX DTX configuration used by the terminal SL interface by the base station and the terminal, ensure the scheduling of the network equipment to the terminal SL interface, and also save the resources of the SL interface accordingly.
