Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to an information processing method, apparatus and readable storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Direct communication refers to data transmission between adjacent terminals via a direct communication link (also known as a sidelink, SL). The direct communication link is also called a bypass. The wireless interface corresponding to the sidelink is called the direct communication interface, also known as the sidelink interface or bypass interface. To improve user experience, the direct communication interface SL DRX (Discontinuous Reception) and / or DTX (Discontinuous Transmission) mechanisms were introduced. For the direct communication receiver, SL DRX is used; correspondingly, for the direct communication transmitter, SLDTX is used.

[0003] In traditional handover scenarios, the source base station sends a handover request message to the target base station in the handover request message. This handover request message carries the Radio Resource Control (RRC) context of the terminal to be handed over. The specific content of the RRC context is defined in the Handover Preparation Information, which contains the source base station's RRC configuration information for the terminal to be handed over.

[0004] For SL unicast, the SL DRX / DTX configuration used by the connected terminal at the source base station is carried in the HandoverPreparationInformation. The target base station can determine the SL DRX and / or DTX configuration of the handover terminal at the target base station according to the indication in the HandoverPreparationInformation, without the need for enhancement.

[0005] However, for SL multicast / broadcast terminals, the SL DRX / DTX configuration determined by the connected terminal is not the same as that configured by the source base station. Therefore, in this situation, how to enable the target base station to determine whether the terminal needs to use an SL DRX / DTX configuration and, specifically, which SL DRX / DTX configuration to use, is a technical problem that needs to be solved.

[0210] In the embodiments of this application, the term "and / or" describes the relationship between associated objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent three cases: A alone, A and B simultaneously, and B alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following associated objects have an "or" relationship.

[0211] In the embodiments of this application, the term "multiple" refers to two or more, and other quantifiers are similar.

[0212] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0213] This application provides an information processing method and apparatus to enable a second network device to determine whether and how to configure SL DRX / SL DTX for the switching terminal in a handover scenario, thereby ensuring power saving of the terminal's direct communication interface in the handover scenario.

[0214] The method and apparatus are based on the same concept of the application. Since the methods and apparatus solve problems in similar ways, the implementation of the apparatus and methods can refer to each other, and the repeated parts will not be described again.

[0215] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the information processing method provided in the embodiments of this application, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0216] Step 101: If the first network device determines that the terminal needs to perform a handover, the first network device sends a first message to the second network device.

[0217] The first network device may be a base station, a CU (Central Unit), or the like.

[0218] In this embodiment of the application, when the terminal has multicast communication on the direct communication interface, the first message includes auxiliary information related to the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration corresponding to the multicast communication on the terminal's direct communication interface; and / or, when the terminal has broadcast communication on the direct communication interface, the first message includes auxiliary information related to the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration corresponding to the broadcast communication on the terminal's direct communication interface.

[0219] The method by which the first network device determines whether the terminal needs to perform a handover can adopt existing judgment methods. The first network device can also use existing mechanisms to determine whether the terminal has multicast and / or broadcast communication on the SL interface. For example, the first network device can determine whether there is multicast and / or broadcast communication and determine the L2 target address corresponding to the multicast and / or broadcast by using the SidelinkUEInformation (Direct Communication Link UE Information) reported by the terminal.

[0220] In this embodiment of the application, the auxiliary information includes one or more of the following:

[0221] (1) Indication information regarding whether the L2 target address of the terminal direct communication interface uses SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration. The L2 target address can be any L2 address.

[0222] (2) Indication information regarding whether the combination of the L2 destination address and SL transmission mode of the terminal direct communication interface uses SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration. SL transmission mode includes multicast or broadcast.

[0223] (3) Tx profile corresponding to the terminal direct communication interface.

[0224] This Tx profile is obtained by the terminal from a higher layer (the protocol layer above the Access Stratum, such as the V2X layer). The terminal can then send it to the first network device.

[0225] (4) The correspondence between the QoS profile configured in the SIB of the first network device and the SL DRX configuration, and / or the correspondence between the QoS profile and the SL DTX configuration.

[0226] (5) The L2 target address of the terminal direct communication interface corresponds to the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration.

[0227] (6) The combination of L2 target address and SL transmission mode of the terminal direct communication interface corresponds to the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration.

[0228] (7) The correspondence between QoS profile and SL DRX configuration under the L2 target address of the terminal direct communication interface, and / or the correspondence between QoS profile and SL DTX configuration.

[0229] (8) The correspondence between QoS profile and SLDRX configuration under the combination of L2 target address and SL transmission mode of terminal direct communication interface, and / or the correspondence between QoS profile and SL DTX configuration.

[0230] Among them, (1)-(3) and (5)-(8) above can be obtained by the first network device from the terminal. Specifically, the terminal can reuse existing RRC (Radio Resource Control) signaling (such as SidelinkUEInformation or UEAssistantInformation) to report the above information, or it can introduce new RRC signaling to report the above information.

[0231] In this embodiment, when the first network device determines that the terminal needs to perform a handover, the first network device sends a first message to the second network device. This first message includes auxiliary information related to the SL DRX and / or SL DTX configurations corresponding to the multicast and / or broadcast communication of the terminal's direct communication interface. This allows the second network device to obtain the SL DRX and / or SL DTX configurations used by the terminal's direct communication interface under the first network device and to configure the terminal accordingly. Therefore, this embodiment enables the second network device to determine whether and how to configure SL DRX / SL DTX for the handover terminal during handover scenarios, ensuring power saving of the terminal's direct communication interface during handover.

[0232] Furthermore, in order to enable the second network device to configure the terminal to the terminal through the RRC reconfiguration process of the first network device, based on the above embodiments, the first network device may also receive a second message sent by the second network device, the second message including one or more of the following:

[0233] (1) Indication information of SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration corresponding to multicast communication of the terminal direct communication interface;

[0234] (2) The terminal direct communication interface broadcasts the corresponding SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration indication information.

[0235] In this configuration, the first network device is the source network device of the terminal, and the second network device is the target network device of the terminal. The second network device may be a base station, etc.

[0236] The indication information includes one or more of the following:

[0237] (1) The correspondence between the QoS profile configured in the SIB of the second network device and the SL DRX configuration, and / or the correspondence between the QoS profile and the SL DTX configuration;

[0238] (2) The correspondence between the QoS profile and SL DRX configuration of the direct communication interface of the terminal, and / or the correspondence between the QoS profile and SL DTX configuration;

[0239] (3) The L2 target address of the terminal direct communication interface is configured with SL DRX and / or SL DTX.

[0240] (4) The combination of L2 target address and SL transmission mode of the terminal direct communication interface and the corresponding SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration;

[0241] (5) The correspondence between the QoS profile and SL DRX configuration under the L2 target address of the direct communication interface of the terminal, and / or the correspondence between the QoS profile and SL DTX configuration;

[0242] (6) The correspondence between the QoS profile and SLDRX configuration under the combination of the L2 target address and SL transmission mode of the terminal direct communication interface, and / or the correspondence between the QoS profile and SL DTX configuration.

[0243] See Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart of the information processing method provided in the embodiments of this application, such as... Figure 2 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0244] Step 201: The second network device receives a first message sent by the first network device. The first message is sent by the first network device when it determines that the terminal needs to perform a handover.

[0245] Step 202: The second network device performs SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration on the multicast communication and / or broadcast communication of the direct communication interface of the terminal according to the first message.

[0246] Wherein, when the terminal has multicast communication on the direct communication interface, the first message includes auxiliary information related to the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration corresponding to the multicast communication on the direct communication interface; and / or,

[0247] When the terminal has broadcast communication on the direct communication interface, the first message includes auxiliary information related to the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration corresponding to the broadcast communication on the direct communication interface.

[0248] In this configuration, the first network device is the source network device of the terminal, and the second network device is the target network device of the terminal. The second network device may be a base station, etc.

[0249] The meaning of the auxiliary information can be found in the description of the foregoing embodiments.

[0250] In step 202, depending on the content of the auxiliary information, the second device may determine in different ways whether to configure SL DRX and / or SL DTX for multicast communication and / or broadcast communication of the direct communication interface of the terminal, and how to configure it.

[0251] For example, when the auxiliary information includes indications that the L2 target address of the terminal's direct communication interface is configured using SL DRX and / or SL DTX, the second network device determines that SL DRX and / or SL DTX configuration is required. In this case, the second device can perform SL DRX and / or SL DTX configuration on the multicast and / or broadcast communication of the terminal's direct communication interface according to the SL DRX and / or SL DTX configuration indicated in the auxiliary information.

[0252] For example, when the auxiliary information includes indications that the L2 destination address and SL transmission mode of the terminal's direct communication interface require SL DRX and / or SL DTX configuration, the second network device determines that the combination of the L2 destination address and SL transmission mode of the terminal's direct communication interface needs SL DRX and / or SL DTX configuration. In this case, the second device can perform SL DRX and / or SL DTX configuration for the multicast and / or broadcast communication of the terminal's direct communication interface according to the SL DRX and / or SL DTX configuration indicated in the auxiliary information.

[0253] For example, when the auxiliary information includes a Tx profile corresponding to the terminal's direct communication interface, the second network device determines whether SLDRX and / or SL DTX configuration is required for the terminal based on the Tx profile corresponding to the terminal's direct communication interface. Assuming the Tx profile includes a certain L2 address, the second device can perform SL DRX and / or SL DTX configuration on that L2 address.

[0254] For example, when the auxiliary information includes the correspondence between the QoS profile and SL DRX configuration configured in the SIB of the first network device, and / or the correspondence between the QoS profile and SL DTX configuration, the second network device performs SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration according to the correspondence between the QoS profile and SL DRX configuration configured in the SIB of the first network device.

[0255] For example, when the auxiliary information includes the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration corresponding to the L2 target address of the terminal direct communication interface, the second network device performs SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration according to the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration corresponding to the L2 target address of the terminal direct communication interface.

[0256] For example, when the auxiliary information includes the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration corresponding to the combination of the L2 target address and SL transmission mode of the terminal direct communication interface, the second network device performs SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration according to the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration corresponding to the combination of the L2 target address and SL transmission mode of the terminal direct communication interface.

[0257] For example, when the auxiliary information includes the correspondence between QoS profile and SLDRX configuration under the L2 target address of the terminal direct communication interface, and / or the correspondence between QoS profile and SLDTX configuration, the second network device configures the SLDRX configuration and / or SLDTX configuration corresponding to each QoS profile according to the correspondence.

[0258] For example, when the auxiliary information includes the correspondence between QoS profile and SL DRX configuration, and / or the correspondence between QoS profile and SL DTX configuration, under the combination of L2 target address and SL transmission mode of terminal direct communication interface, the second network device configures the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration corresponding to each QoS profile according to the correspondence.

[0259] When the auxiliary information received by the second network device includes multiple pieces of information, the second network device can determine whether to perform SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration, and how to perform SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration, based on any one of these pieces of information. Alternatively, the second network device can also combine a preset strategy to make a final decision based on the determination results obtained from multiple pieces of information. This application embodiment does not limit how the second network device makes decisions, as long as the second network device can obtain a final decision.

[0260] In this embodiment, when the first network device determines that the terminal needs to perform a handover, the first network device sends a first message to the second network device. This first message includes auxiliary information related to the SL DRX and / or SL DTX configurations corresponding to the multicast and / or broadcast communication of the terminal's direct communication interface. This allows the second network device to obtain the terminal's SL DRX and / or SL DTX configurations and perform corresponding configurations. Therefore, this embodiment enables the second network device to determine whether and how to configure the SL DRX / SL DTX for the handover terminal during a handover scenario, ensuring power saving of the terminal's direct communication interface during handover.

[0261] Furthermore, in order to enable the second network device to configure the terminal to the terminal through the RRC reconfiguration process of the first network device, based on the above embodiments, the second network device may also send a second message to the first network device, the second message including one or more of the following:

[0262] (1) Indication information of SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration corresponding to multicast communication of the terminal direct communication interface;

[0263] (2) The terminal direct communication interface broadcasts the corresponding SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration indication information.

[0264] The indication information includes one or more of the following:

[0265] (1) The correspondence between the QoS profile configured in the SIB of the second network device and the SL DRX configuration, and / or the correspondence between the QoS profile and the SL DTX configuration;

[0266] (2) The correspondence between the QoS profile and SL DRX configuration of the direct communication interface of the terminal, and / or the correspondence between the QoS profile and SL DTX configuration;

[0267] (3) The L2 target address of the terminal direct communication interface is configured with SL DRX and / or SL DTX.

[0268] (4) The combination of L2 target address and SL transmission mode of the terminal direct communication interface and the corresponding SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration;

[0269] (5) The correspondence between the QoS profile and SL DRX configuration under the L2 target address of the direct communication interface of the terminal, and / or the correspondence between the QoS profile and SL DTX configuration;

[0270] (6) The correspondence between the QoS profile and SLDRX configuration under the combination of the L2 target address and SL transmission mode of the terminal direct communication interface, and / or the correspondence between the QoS profile and SL DTX configuration.

[0271] See Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart of the information processing method provided in the embodiments of this application, such as... Figure 3 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0272] Step 301: The terminal sends auxiliary information related to the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration corresponding to the direct communication interface multicast communication to the first network device; and / or, the terminal sends auxiliary information related to the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration corresponding to the direct communication interface broadcast communication to the first network device.

[0273] The auxiliary information includes one or more of the following:

[0274] (1) Indication information on whether the L2 target address of the terminal direct communication interface uses SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration;

[0275] (2) Indication information on whether the combination of L2 target address and SL transmission mode of the terminal direct communication interface uses SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration;

[0276] (3) Tx profile corresponding to the terminal direct communication interface;

[0277] (4) The L2 target address of the terminal direct communication interface corresponds to the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration;

[0278] (5) The combination of L2 target address and SL transmission mode of the terminal direct communication interface corresponds to the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration;

[0279] (6) The correspondence between QoS profile and SL DRX configuration under the L2 target address of the terminal direct communication interface, and / or the correspondence between QoS profile and SL DTX configuration;

[0280] (7) The correspondence between QoS profile and SLDRX configuration under the combination of L2 target address and SL transmission mode of terminal direct communication interface, and / or the correspondence between QoS profile and SL DTX configuration;

[0281] (8) Based on the first L2 target address, indicate the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration corresponding to the QoS profile using SL DRX configuration and / or SLDTX configuration under the first L2 target address;

[0282] (9) Based on the first L2 target address, instruct the SLRB corresponding to the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration that uses SL DRX and / or SL DTX under the first L2 target address;

[0283] (10) Indicate a portion of the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration corresponding to the first L2 target address based on the first L2 target address; Indicate a portion of the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration corresponding to the QoS profile based on the QoS profile using the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration;

[0284] (11) Indicate a portion of the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration corresponding to the first L2 target address based on the first L2 target address; Indicate a portion of the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration corresponding to the QoS profile based on the QoS profile using SL DRX and / or SL DTX under the first L2 target address;

[0285] (12) Indicates a portion of the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration corresponding to the first L2 target address based on the first L2 target address; Indicates a portion of the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration corresponding to the SLRB based on the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration used under the first L2 target address.

[0286] In this embodiment, the terminal sends a first message to a first network device. This enables the first network device to send a first message to a second network device when it determines that the terminal needs to perform a handover. The first message includes auxiliary information related to the SL DRX and / or SL DTX configurations corresponding to the multicast and / or broadcast communication of the terminal's direct communication interface. This allows the second network device to obtain the terminal's SL DRX and / or SL DTX configurations and perform corresponding configurations. Therefore, this embodiment allows the second network device to determine whether and how to configure the SL DRX / SL DTX for the handover terminal during handover, ensuring power saving of the terminal's direct communication interface during handover.

[0287] The implementation process of the information processing method of this application embodiment is described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. The first network device is described as a source base station, and the second network device is described as a target base station.

[0288] In this embodiment, the source base station performs a handover decision for the terminal. When the terminal needs to perform a handover, if the terminal has multicast and / or broadcast communication on the SL interface, the source base station needs to include auxiliary information related to the SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration corresponding to the multicast and / or broadcast on the terminal's SL interface in the handover request message sent to the target base station.

[0289] See Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flowchart of an information processing method according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the auxiliary information includes one or more of the following: indication information on whether the L2 target address of the terminal direct communication interface uses SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration; and indication information on whether the combination of the L2 target address and SL transmission mode of the terminal direct communication interface uses SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration. The method specifically includes:

[0290] Step 401: The terminal reports auxiliary information.

[0291] This step is optional. If the source base station can determine whether the terminal's SL interface L2 target address or the combination of the L2 target address and SL transmission mode uses SL DRX / DTX configuration, this step can be omitted.

[0292] The source base station can be determined as follows: Based on the SUI (Sidelink UE Information) reported by the terminal, the source base station determines the L2 target address or combination of L2 target address and SL transmission mode corresponding to the terminal's SL multicast and / or broadcast. Then, based on the Txprofile corresponding to the terminal's SL interface (which indicates whether each L2 target address or combination of L2 target address and SL transmission mode uses SL DRX / SL DTX configuration), the source base station determines a specific (or particular) L2 target address of the terminal's SL interface, or whether the combination of L2 target address and SL transmission mode uses SL DRX / SL DTX configuration.

[0293] If the source base station cannot determine whether a specific L2 target address of the SL interface or the combination of the L2 target address and the SL transmission mode uses SL DRX / SL DTX configuration, a terminal reporting mechanism needs to be introduced. The terminal directly reports to the source base station an indication of whether a specific L2 target address of the terminal's SL interface or the combination of the L2 target address and the SL transmission mode uses SL DRX / SL DTX configuration. Specifically, this auxiliary information reporting can reuse existing RRC signaling or introduce new RRC signaling. If existing RRC signaling is reused, for example, sidelinkUEInformation can be reused.

[0294] Step 402: The source base station performs a handover decision on the terminal. If the decision indicates that the terminal needs to handover, a handover request message is sent to the target base station.

[0295] When the source base station performs a handover decision for a terminal, if the terminal has multicast and / or broadcast communication on the SL interface, the handover request message sent by the source base station to the target base station needs to carry auxiliary information related to the DRX and / or DTX configuration corresponding to the multicast and / or broadcast on the terminal's SL interface.

[0296] The source base station can use existing mechanisms to determine whether the terminal has multicast and / or broadcast communication on the SL interface. For example, the base station can determine the L2 target address corresponding to the multicast and / or broadcast through the SidelinkUEInformation reported by the terminal.

[0297] The auxiliary information content may be an indication of whether the L2 target address of the terminal SL interface is configured using SL DRX and / or SLDTX, or an indication of whether the combination of the L2 target address and SL transmission mode of the terminal SL interface is configured using SL DRX and / or SL DTX.

[0298] Step 403: Switch to request confirmation message.

[0299] The target base station determines whether it needs to perform SL DRX / DTX configuration for the SL multicast and / or broadcast communication of the terminal based on the auxiliary information sent by the source base station in step 402, and sends a handover request confirmation message to the source base station.

[0300] After the target base station determines whether SL DRX / DTX configuration is required for the SL multicast and / or broadcast communication of the terminal based on the auxiliary information, the method further includes: the target base station notifying the source base station of the indication information for the SL DRX / SL DTX configuration of the SL multicast and / or broadcast communication of the terminal through the inter-base station interface.

[0301] Specifically, the indication information of the SL DRX / SL DTX configuration transmitted in the interface may include one or more of the following:

[0302] The correspondence between the QoS profile configured in the target base station's current SIB and the SL DRX / DTX configuration;

[0303] The correspondence between the QoS profile and SL DRX configuration of the terminal direct communication interface, and / or the correspondence between the QoS profile and SL DTX configuration;

[0304] The SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration corresponding to the L2 target address of the terminal direct communication interface;

[0305] The combination of the L2 target address and SL transmission mode of the terminal direct communication interface corresponds to the SL DRX configuration and / or SLDTX configuration;

[0306] The correspondence between QoS profile and SL DRX configuration under the L2 target address of the terminal direct communication interface, and / or the correspondence between QoS profile and SL DTX configuration;

[0307] The correspondence between QoS profile and SL DRX configuration, and / or the correspondence between QoS profile and SL DTX configuration, under the combination of L2 target address and SL transmission mode of terminal direct communication interface.

[0308] Step 404: The source base station performs RRC reconfiguration to the terminal.

[0309] The source base station determines the content of the RRC reconfiguration message based on the handover request confirmation message received from the target base station, and sends the RRC reconfiguration message to the terminal. The RRC reconfiguration signaling includes the direct communication interface SL DRX / SL DTX configuration of the terminal determined in step 403.

[0310] See Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a flowchart of an information processing method according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, the auxiliary information includes: the Tx profile corresponding to the terminal direct communication interface. The method specifically includes:

[0311] Step 501: The terminal reports auxiliary information.

[0312] Specifically, the auxiliary information can be the Txprofile obtained by the terminal from a higher layer (above the AS protocol layer, such as the V2X layer). The content of the Tx profile can be one of the following:

[0313] (1) Does the L2 destination address need to use SL DRX / DTX?

[0314] (2) Does the combination of L2 destination address and SL transport mode require SL DRX / DTX configuration?

[0315] (3) Whether the protocol version (such as 3GPP Rel-16, Rel-17 or similar protocol version) needs to use SLDRX / DTX.

[0316] Specifically, the auxiliary information reporting can reuse existing RRC signaling or introduce new RRC signaling. If existing RRC signaling is reused, for example, sidelinkUEInformation can be reused.

[0317] Step 502: The source base station performs a handover decision on the terminal. If the decision is that the terminal needs to handover, a handover request message is sent to the target base station.

[0318] When the source base station performs a handover decision for a terminal, if the terminal has multicast and / or broadcast communication on the SL interface, the handover request message sent by the source base station to the target base station needs to carry auxiliary information related to the DRX and / or DTX configuration corresponding to the multicast and / or broadcast on the terminal's SL interface.

[0319] The source base station can use existing mechanisms to determine whether the terminal has multicast and / or broadcast communication on the SL interface. For example, the base station can determine the L2 target address corresponding to the multicast and / or broadcast through the SidelinkUEInformation reported by the terminal.

[0320] The handover request message needs to carry auxiliary information. Specifically, the auxiliary information may be the Tx profile obtained by the terminal from the higher layer in step 501.

[0321] Step 503: Switch to request confirmation message.

[0322] The target base station determines whether it needs to perform SL DRX / DTX configuration for the SL multicast and / or broadcast communication of the terminal based on the auxiliary information sent by the source base station in step 502, and sends a handover request confirmation message to the source base station.

[0323] After the target base station determines whether SL DRX / DTX configuration is required for the SL multicast and / or broadcast communication of the terminal based on the auxiliary information, the method further includes: the target base station notifying the source base station of the indication information for the SL DRX / SL DTX configuration of the SL multicast and / or broadcast communication of the terminal through the inter-base station interface.

[0324] Specifically, the indication information of the SL DRX / SL DTX configuration transmitted in the interface may include one or more of the following:

[0325] The correspondence between the QoS profile configured in the target base station's current SIB and the SL DRX / DTX configuration;

[0326] The correspondence between the QoS profile and SL DRX configuration of the terminal direct communication interface, and / or the correspondence between the QoS profile and SL DTX configuration;

[0327] The SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration corresponding to the L2 target address of the terminal direct communication interface;

[0328] The combination of the L2 target address and SL transmission mode of the terminal direct communication interface corresponds to the SL DRX configuration and / or SLDTX configuration;

[0329] The correspondence between QoS profile and SL DRX configuration under the L2 target address of the terminal direct communication interface, and / or the correspondence between QoS profile and SL DTX configuration;

[0330] The correspondence between QoS profile and SL DRX configuration, and / or the correspondence between QoS profile and SL DTX configuration, under the combination of L2 target address and SL transmission mode of terminal direct communication interface.

[0331] Step 504: The source base station performs RRC reconfiguration to the terminal.

[0332] The source base station determines the content of the RRC reconfiguration message based on the handover request confirmation message received from the target base station, and sends the RRC reconfiguration message to the terminal. The RRC reconfiguration signaling includes the direct communication interface SL DRX / SL DTX configuration of the terminal determined in step 503.

[0333] See Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a flowchart of an information processing method according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the auxiliary information includes: the correspondence between the Quality of Service (QoS) profile configured in the source base station SIB and the SL DRX configuration, and / or, the correspondence between the QoS profile and the SL DTX configuration. The method specifically includes:

[0334] Step 601: The source base station performs a handover decision on the terminal. If the decision is that the terminal needs to handover, a handover request message is sent to the target base station.

[0335] When the source base station performs a handover decision for a terminal, if the terminal has multicast and / or broadcast communication on the SL interface, the handover request message sent by the source base station to the target base station needs to carry auxiliary information related to the DRX and / or DTX configuration corresponding to the multicast and / or broadcast on the terminal's SL interface.

[0336] The source base station can use existing mechanisms to determine whether the terminal has multicast and / or broadcast communication on the SL interface. For example, the base station can determine the L2 target address corresponding to the multicast and / or broadcast through the SidelinkUEInformation reported by the terminal.

[0337] The handover request message needs to carry auxiliary information. Specifically, the auxiliary information may be the correspondence between the Quality of Service (QoS) profile configured in the source base station SIB and the SL DRX configuration, and / or the correspondence between the QoS profile and the SL DTX configuration.

[0338] Step 602: Switch to request confirmation message.

[0339] The target base station determines whether it needs to perform SL DRX / DTX configuration for the SL multicast and / or broadcast communication of the terminal based on the auxiliary information sent by the source base station in step 601, and sends a handover request confirmation message to the source base station.

[0340] After the target base station determines whether SL DRX / DTX configuration is required for the SL multicast and / or broadcast communication of the terminal based on the auxiliary information, the method further includes: the target base station notifying the source base station of the indication information for the SL DRX / SL DTX configuration of the SL multicast and / or broadcast communication of the terminal through the inter-base station interface.

[0341] Specifically, the indication information of the SL DRX / SL DTX configuration transmitted in the interface may include one or more of the following:

[0342] The correspondence between the QoS profile configured in the target base station's current SIB and the SL DRX / DTX configuration;

[0343] The correspondence between the QoS profile and SL DRX configuration of the terminal direct communication interface, and / or the correspondence between the QoS profile and SL DTX configuration;

[0344] The SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration corresponding to the L2 target address of the terminal direct communication interface;

[0345] The combination of the L2 target address and SL transmission mode of the terminal direct communication interface corresponds to the SL DRX configuration and / or SLDTX configuration;

[0346] The correspondence between QoS profile and SL DRX configuration under the L2 target address of the terminal direct communication interface, and / or the correspondence between QoS profile and SL DTX configuration;

[0347] The correspondence between QoS profile and SL DRX configuration, and / or the correspondence between QoS profile and SL DTX configuration, under the combination of L2 target address and SL transmission mode of terminal direct communication interface.

[0348] Step 603: The source base station performs RRC reconfiguration to the terminal.

[0349] The source base station determines the content of the RRC reconfiguration message based on the handover request confirmation message received from the target base station, and sends the RRC reconfiguration message to the terminal. The RRC reconfiguration signaling includes the direct communication interface SL DRX / SL DTX configuration of the terminal determined in step 602.

[0350] See Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a flowchart of an information processing method according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 7 In the illustrated embodiment, the auxiliary information includes one or more of the following:

[0351] The SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration corresponding to the L2 target address of the terminal direct communication interface;

[0352] The combination of the L2 target address and SL transmission mode of the terminal direct communication interface corresponds to the SL DRX configuration and / or SLDTX configuration;

[0353] The correspondence between QoS profile and SL DRX configuration under the L2 target address of the terminal direct communication interface, and / or the correspondence between QoS profile and SL DTX configuration;

[0354] The correspondence between QoS profile and SL DRX configuration, and / or the correspondence between QoS profile and SL DTX configuration, under the combination of L2 target address and SL transmission mode of terminal direct communication interface.

[0355] The method specifically includes:

[0356] Step 701: The terminal reports auxiliary information.

[0357] Specifically, the supporting information can be one of the following:

[0358] The SL DRX configuration and / or SL DTX configuration corresponding to the L2 target address of the terminal direct communication interface;

[0359] The combination of the L2 target address and SL transmission mode of the terminal direct communication interface corresponds to the SL DRX configuration and / or SLDTX configuration;

[0360] The correspondence between QoS profile and SL DRX configuration under the L2 target address of the terminal direct communication interface, and / or the correspondence between QoS profile and SL DTX configuration;

[0361] The correspondence between QoS profile and SL DRX configuration, and / or the correspondence between QoS profile and SL DTX configuration, under the combination of L2 target address and SL transmission mode of terminal direct communication interface.

[0362] Specifically, the auxiliary information reporting can reuse existing RRC signaling or introduce new RRC signaling. If existing RRC signaling is reused, for example, sidelinkUEInformation can be reused.

[0363] Step 702: The source base station performs a handover decision on the terminal. If the decision is that the terminal needs to handover, a handover request message is sent to the target base station.

[0364] When the source base station performs a handover decision for a terminal, if the terminal has multicast and / or broadcast communication on the SL interface, the handover request message sent by the source base station to the target base station needs to carry auxiliary information related to the DRX and / or DTX configuration corresponding to the multicast and / or broadcast on the terminal's SL interface.

[0365] The source base station can use existing mechanisms to determine whether the terminal has multicast and / or broadcast communication on the SL interface. For example, the base station can determine the L2 target address corresponding to the multicast and / or broadcast through the SidelinkUEInformation reported by the terminal.

[0366] The handover request message needs to carry auxiliary information. Specifically, the auxiliary information may be the Tx profile obtained by the terminal from the higher layer in step 701.

[0367] Step 703: Switch to request confirmation message.

[0368] The target base station determines whether it needs to perform SL DRX / DTX configuration for the SL multicast and / or broadcast communication of the terminal based on the auxiliary information sent by the source base station in step 702, and sends a handover request confirmation message to the source base station.

[0369] After the target base station determines whether SL DRX / DTX configuration is required for the SL multicast and / or broadcast communication of the terminal based on the auxiliary information, the method further includes: the target base station notifying the source base station of the indication information for the SL DRX / SL DTX configuration of the SL multicast and / or broadcast communication of the terminal through the inter-base station interface.

[0370] Specifically, the indication information of the SL DRX / SL DTX configuration transmitted in the interface may include one or more of the following:

[0371] The correspondence between the QoS profile configured in the target base station's current SIB and the SL DRX / DTX configuration;

[0375] The correspondence between QoS profile and SL DRX configuration under the L2 target address of the terminal direct communication interface, and / or the correspondence between QoS profile and SL DTX configuration;

[0376] The correspondence between QoS profile and SL DRX configuration, and / or the correspondence between QoS profile and SL DTX configuration, under the combination of L2 target address and SL transmission mode of terminal direct communication interface.

[0377] Step 704: The source base station performs RRC reconfiguration to the terminal.

[0378] The source base station determines the content of the RRC reconfiguration message based on the handover request confirmation message received from the target base station, and sends the RRC reconfiguration message to the terminal. The RRC reconfiguration signaling includes the direct communication interface SL DRX / SL DTX configuration of the terminal determined in step 703.

[0379] As can be seen from the above description, in the embodiments of this application, it can be guaranteed that the target base station can perform reasonable SL DRX / DTX configuration for the terminal to be switched during handover. That is, when the terminal needs to perform SL DRX / SL DTX configuration, the target base station will configure SL DRX / SL DTX for it; when the terminal does not need to perform SL DRX / DTX configuration, the target base station will not configure SL DRX / SL DTX for the terminal.
