Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to communication technology, and more particularly to a configuration information reporting method, apparatus, mobile terminal, and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of mobile internet applications, the bandwidth requirements of wireless networks providing data channels are increasing. Mobile terminals need to report their capabilities to the corresponding base stations on the network side, reflecting the communication channel quality between the mobile terminal and the corresponding base stations.

[0003] During the process of accessing the network, the mobile terminal usually reports the channel quality of the maximum bandwidth that a single carrier can support within a single operating frequency band. The corresponding base station can then schedule the network based on the reported information.

[0004] However, current mobile terminals can operate simultaneously through multiple carrier channels within a single operating frequency band, or through multiple carriers within multiple frequency bands. For these mobile terminals, the reported information cannot reflect the quality of the carrier channels used by the mobile terminal, and the network side cannot grasp the quality of the carrier channels used by the mobile terminal. Therefore, this greatly limits the scheduling behavior of the network side and makes it impossible to correctly configure the channel bandwidth used by the terminal. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a configuration information reporting method, apparatus, mobile terminal, and storage medium to solve the problem that when a mobile terminal reports the channel quality of the maximum bandwidth that a single carrier can support within a single operating frequency band, the corresponding base station cannot correctly configure the channel bandwidth used by the terminal.

[0009] If so, obtain the current signal strength corresponding to the FDD and determine whether the current signal strength corresponding to the FDD meets the preset carrier aggregation conditions;

[0010] If the preset carrier aggregation conditions are met, the second configuration information corresponding to FDD and TDD is determined, and the second configuration information corresponding to FDD and TDD is reported to the corresponding base station so that the corresponding base station can configure FDD and TDD carrier aggregation according to the second configuration information.

[0011] Secondly, this application provides a configuration information reporting device, comprising:

[0014] The determining unit is also used to obtain the current signal strength corresponding to the FDD if the condition is met, and to determine whether the current signal strength corresponding to the FDD satisfies the preset carrier aggregation condition.

[0015] The transmitting unit is further configured to determine the second configuration information corresponding to FDD and TDD if the preset carrier aggregation conditions are met, and report the second configuration information corresponding to FDD and TDD to the corresponding base station so that the corresponding base station can perform FDD and TDD carrier aggregation configuration according to the second configuration information.

[0016] Thirdly, the present invention provides a mobile terminal, comprising: at least one processor and a memory;

If not, it determines the first configuration information corresponding to FDD and reports it to the corresponding base station, enabling the base station to perform single-carrier configuration based on the first configuration information. If yes, it obtains the current signal strength corresponding to FDD and determines whether the current signal strength meets preset carrier aggregation conditions. If the preset carrier aggregation conditions are met, it determines the second configuration information corresponding to FDD and TDD and reports it to the corresponding base station, enabling the base station to perform FDD and TDD carrier aggregation configuration based on the second configuration information. By reporting different configuration information based on different network environments, the base station can perform more reasonable configuration and correctly configure the channel bandwidth used by the terminal.

[0030] The above drawings illustrate specific embodiments of the present application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and the textual description are not intended to limit the scope of the present application in any way, but rather to illustrate the concepts of the present application to those skilled in the art by reference to specific embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0031] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0032] To clearly understand the technical solution of this application, the solutions of the prior art will be described in detail first.

[0033] In existing technologies, when a mobile terminal accesses a network, it typically reports the channel quality of the maximum bandwidth that a single carrier can support within a single operating frequency band. The corresponding base station can then schedule the network based on the reported information.

[0034] Current mobile terminals can operate simultaneously using multiple carrier channels within a single operating frequency band, or using multiple carriers within multiple frequency bands. For these mobile terminals, the reported information cannot reflect the quality of the carrier channels used by the mobile terminal, and the network side cannot grasp the quality of the carrier channels used by the mobile terminal. Therefore, this greatly limits the scheduling behavior of the network side, making it impossible to correctly configure the channel bandwidth used by the terminal and to configure it reasonably and effectively.

[0035] Therefore, addressing the issue that existing configuration information reporting methods require manual optimization by developers, the inventors discovered in their research that the system determines whether the current network environment of the mobile terminal possesses FDD and TDD carrier aggregation capabilities. If not, it determines the first configuration information corresponding to FDD and reports it to the base station, which then performs single-carrier aggregation based on this information. If yes, it determines whether the current signal strength corresponding to FDD meets the preset carrier aggregation conditions. If the conditions are met, it determines the second configuration information corresponding to FDD and TDD and sends it to the base station, which then configures FDD and TDD carrier aggregation based on this information. Reporting different configuration information based on different network environments allows the base station to configure more rationally and correctly allocate the channel bandwidth used by the terminal.

[0036] Therefore, based on the above-mentioned inventive discovery, the inventors proposed the technical solution of the embodiments of the present invention. The network architecture and application scenarios of the configuration information reporting method provided by the embodiments of the present invention will be introduced below.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the network architecture corresponding to the configuration information reporting method provided in this embodiment of the invention includes: a mobile terminal 1 and a base station 2. The mobile terminal 1 communicates with the base station 2. The mobile terminal 1 determines whether the current network environment in which it is located has Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) and Time Division Duplex (TDD) carrier aggregation capabilities; if not, it determines the first configuration information corresponding to FDD and reports the first configuration information to the corresponding base station 2. The base station 2 performs single-carrier configuration based on the first configuration information. The mobile terminal 1 determines whether the current network environment in which it is located has Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) and Time Division Duplex (TDD) carrier aggregation capabilities; if so, it obtains the current signal strength corresponding to FDD and determines whether the current signal strength corresponding to FDD meets the preset carrier aggregation conditions; if the preset carrier aggregation conditions are met, it determines the second configuration information corresponding to FDD and TDD and reports the second configuration information corresponding to FDD and TDD to the corresponding base station 2. The base station 2 performs FDD and TDD carrier aggregation configuration based on the second configuration information. Reporting different configuration information based on different network environments enables the base station to configure more reasonably and correctly configure the channel bandwidth used by the terminal.

[0038] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating the configuration information reporting method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the execution subject of the configuration information reporting method provided in this embodiment is a configuration information reporting device, which is located in a mobile terminal. Therefore, the configuration information reporting method provided in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0041] Step 101: Determine whether the network environment in which the current mobile terminal is located has the capability of Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) and Time Division Duplex (TDD) carrier aggregation.

[0042] In this embodiment, the system information block determines whether the current network environment of the mobile terminal has FDD and TDD carrier aggregation capabilities. Carrier aggregation technology is an evolution of traditional multi-carrier technology. Its core idea is to divide five continuous or discrete spectrums into multiple component carriers, allowing the terminal to simultaneously transmit and receive data on multiple sub-bands. Carrier aggregation can increase system transmission bandwidth, meeting users' requirements for peak speed, data rate, and system capacity improvement.

[0043] FDD stands for Frequency Division Duplex, which means that the uplink and downlink operate on two separate frequencies, and this mode operates on a symmetrical frequency band.

[0044] Step 102: If not, determine the first configuration information corresponding to FDD and report the first configuration information corresponding to FDD to the corresponding base station so that the corresponding base station can perform single carrier configuration according to the first configuration information.

[0045] In this embodiment, if it is determined that the network environment in which the current mobile terminal is located does not have FDD and TDD carrier aggregation capabilities and is not suitable for carrier aggregation, then the first configuration information corresponding to FDD is further determined and reported to the corresponding base station. The first configuration information includes the standard currently supported by the mobile terminal, the FDD frequency band corresponding to the currently supported standard, and the corresponding bandwidth information. After receiving the first configuration information, the base station obtains the standard currently supported by the mobile terminal, the FDD frequency band corresponding to the currently supported standard, and the corresponding bandwidth information. The base station performs single carrier configuration based on the standard currently supported by the mobile terminal, the FDD frequency band corresponding to the currently supported standard, and the corresponding bandwidth information.

[0046] Among them, "standard" refers to the standard supported by the mobile terminal, such as 3G, 4G, and 5G. FDD frequency bands include n1, n3, n5, and n78. Bandwidth information refers to the bandwidth corresponding to each frequency band; for example, FDD n1 supports 20MHz or 40MHz.

[0047] Step 103: If yes, obtain the current signal strength corresponding to FDD and determine whether the current signal strength corresponding to FDD meets the preset carrier aggregation conditions.

[0048] In this embodiment, if it is determined that the network environment in which the current mobile terminal is located has FDD and TDD carrier aggregation capabilities, it indicates that carrier aggregation is suitable. Then, the current strength signal corresponding to FDD is further obtained, and it is determined whether the current signal strength corresponding to FDD meets the preset carrier aggregation conditions. Specifically, the first preset signal strength is obtained, and it is determined whether the current signal strength corresponding to FDD is greater than the first preset signal strength. Based on the determination result, it is determined whether the current signal strength corresponding to FDD meets the preset carrier aggregation conditions.

[0049] Step 104: If the preset carrier aggregation conditions are met, determine the second configuration information corresponding to FDD and TDD, and report the second configuration information corresponding to FDD and TDD to the corresponding base station so that the corresponding base station can configure FDD and TDD carrier aggregation according to the second configuration information.

[0050] In this embodiment, if the preset carrier aggregation conditions are met, the second configuration information corresponding to FDD and TDD is further determined. The second configuration information includes the mobile terminal's currently supported standards, the FDD frequency band corresponding to the currently supported standards, the corresponding TDD frequency band, the bandwidth information corresponding to the FDD frequency band, and the bandwidth information corresponding to the TDD frequency band. The standards refer to whether the mobile terminal supports 3G, 4G, 5G, etc. The FDD frequency bands include n1, n3, n5, and n78. The DNN frequency bands include n77, n78, n79, etc. The bandwidth information refers to the bandwidth corresponding to each frequency band; for example, FDD n1 supports 20MHz or 40MHz.

[0051] In this embodiment, it is determined whether the current network environment of the mobile terminal has FDD and TDD carrier aggregation capabilities. If not, the first configuration information corresponding to FDD is determined and reported to the base station. The base station performs single-carrier aggregation based on the first configuration information. If yes, it is determined whether the current signal strength corresponding to FDD meets the preset carrier aggregation conditions. If the carrier aggregation conditions are met, the second configuration information corresponding to FDD and TDD is determined and sent to the base station. The base station performs FDD and TDD carrier aggregation configuration based on the second configuration information. Reporting different configuration information based on different network environments enables the base station to configure more reasonably and correctly configure the channel bandwidth used by the terminal.

[0052] Example 2

[0053] Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating the configuration information reporting method provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention, as follows: Figure 3 As shown, based on the configuration information reporting method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, step 101 has been further refined, specifically including the following steps:

[0054] Step 1011: Obtain the System Information Block (SIB) information of the base station currently corresponding to the mobile terminal.

[0055] In this embodiment, the mobile terminal interacts with a nearby base station to obtain the System Information Block (SIB) information of the base station currently corresponding to the mobile terminal. The system information (SI) of the wireless communication system is mainly divided into the Master Information Block (MIB) and a series of System Information Blocks (SIBs). The MIB and SIB are always broadcast periodically. The broadcast period of the MIB is fixed, while the broadcast period of the SIB can be different depending on the network configuration of the wireless communication system.

[0056] Step 1012: Determine whether the network environment in which the mobile terminal is located has frequency division duplex (FDD) and time division duplex (TDD) carrier aggregation capabilities based on the SIB information of the base station currently corresponding to the mobile terminal.

[0057] In this embodiment, the base station sends SIB information to the mobile terminal. Based on the SIB information of the base station corresponding to the mobile terminal, it determines whether the network environment in which the current mobile terminal is located has FDD and TDD carrier aggregation capabilities, and then reports different configuration information to the base station. The base station configures the network according to the different configuration information.

[0058] Example 3

[0059] Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating the configuration information reporting method provided in Embodiment 3 of the present invention, as follows: Figure 4 As shown, based on the configuration information reporting method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, step 102 has been further refined, specifically including the following steps:

[0060] Step 1021: Determine the standard currently supported by the mobile terminal, determine the FDD frequency band corresponding to the currently supported standard, and obtain the bandwidth information corresponding to the FDD frequency band.

[0061] In this embodiment, the standard currently supported by the mobile terminal is determined. For example, it is determined that the mobile terminal currently supports 4G or 5G. The FDD frequency band corresponding to the currently supported standard is further determined, and the bandwidth information corresponding to the FDD frequency band is obtained. The corresponding bandwidth information is the high bandwidth information corresponding to the frequency band. For example, if FDD n1 supports 20M or 40M, the bandwidth information corresponding to the FDD frequency band at this time can be 40M, and the high bandwidth is reported.

[0062] Step 1022: Determine the current standard supported by the mobile terminal, the FDD frequency band corresponding to the current supported standard, and the corresponding bandwidth information as the first configuration information corresponding to FDD.

[0063] In this embodiment, the standard currently supported by the mobile terminal, the FDD frequency band corresponding to the currently supported standard, and the corresponding bandwidth information are determined as the first configuration information. The first configuration information is reported to the base station so that the base station can perform single carrier configuration according to the first configuration information.

[0064] Example 4

[0065] Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating the configuration information reporting method provided in Embodiment 4 of the present invention, as follows: Figure 5 As shown, based on the configuration information reporting method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, step 104 has been further refined, specifically including the following steps:

[0066] Step 1041: Determine the standard currently supported by the mobile terminal, and determine the FDD frequency band and the corresponding TDD frequency band for the currently supported standard, and obtain the bandwidth information corresponding to the FDD frequency band and the bandwidth information corresponding to the TDD frequency band.

[0067] In this embodiment, the currently supported network standard of the mobile terminal is determined, for example, whether the mobile terminal supports 4G or 5G. Further, the FDD frequency band and the corresponding TDD frequency band for the currently supported standard are determined, and the broadband information corresponding to the FDD frequency band and the TDD frequency band is obtained. For example, the FDD frequency bands include n1, n3, n5, and n78. The TDD frequency bands include n77, n78, n79, etc. The bandwidth information refers to the bandwidth corresponding to each frequency band; for example, FDD n1 supports 20M or 40M.

[0068] Step 1042: Determine the current standard supported by the mobile terminal, the FDD frequency band corresponding to the current supported standard, the corresponding TDD frequency band, the bandwidth information corresponding to the FDD frequency band, and the bandwidth information corresponding to the TDD frequency band as the second configuration information corresponding to FDD and TDD.

[0069] In this embodiment, the mobile terminal's currently supported standard, the FDD frequency band corresponding to the currently supported standard, the corresponding TDD frequency band, the bandwidth information corresponding to the FDD frequency band, and the bandwidth information corresponding to the TDD frequency band are determined as the second configuration information corresponding to FDD and TDD.

[0070] Example 5

[0071] Based on the configuration information reporting method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, step 103 is further refined, specifically including the following steps:

[0072] Step 1031: Obtain the first preset signal strength and determine whether the current signal strength corresponding to FDD is greater than the first preset signal strength.

[0073] In this embodiment, a first preset signal strength is obtained, and it is determined whether the current signal strength corresponding to FDD is greater than the first preset signal strength. Based on the determination result, it is determined whether the current signal strength corresponding to FDD meets the preset carrier aggregation condition.

[0074] Step 1032: If the current signal strength corresponding to FDD is greater than the first preset signal strength, then it is determined that the current signal strength corresponding to FDD satisfies the preset carrier aggregation condition.

[0075] In this embodiment, if the current signal strength corresponding to FDD is greater than the first preset signal strength, it indicates that the current signal strength is relatively good. It is determined that the current signal strength corresponding to FDD meets the preset carrier aggregation condition, and carrier aggregation can be performed.

[0076] Step 1033: If the current signal strength corresponding to FDD is less than or equal to the first preset signal strength, then it is determined that the current signal strength corresponding to FDD does not meet the preset carrier aggregation condition.

[0077] In this embodiment, if the current signal strength corresponding to FDD is less than or equal to the first preset signal strength, it indicates that the current signal is poor, and it is determined that the current signal strength corresponding to FDD does not meet the preset carrier aggregation condition.

[0078] Example 6

[0079] Based on the configuration information reporting method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, after step 103, the following steps are also included:

[0080] Step 103a: If the preset carrier aggregation condition is not met, then obtain the second preset signal strength and compare the current signal strength corresponding to FDD with the second preset signal strength.

[0081] In this embodiment, if the preset carrier aggregation condition is not met, a second preset signal strength is further obtained, and the current signal strength corresponding to the FDD is compared with the second preset signal strength.

[0082] Step 103b: Determine the corresponding configuration information based on the signal strength comparison results, and report the corresponding configuration information to the corresponding base station.

[0083] In this embodiment, the corresponding configuration information is determined based on the signal strength comparison result. Specifically, if the current signal corresponding to the FDD is greater than the second preset signal strength, the corresponding configuration information is the first configuration information; if the current signal corresponding to the FDD is less than or equal to the second preset signal strength, the corresponding configuration information is the third configuration information. The corresponding configuration information is reported to the corresponding base station, and the base station performs single-carrier configuration based on the corresponding configuration information.

[0084] Example 7

[0085] Based on the configuration information reporting method provided in Embodiment Six of the present invention, step 103b has been further refined, specifically including the following steps:

[0086] Step 103b1: If the current signal strength corresponding to FDD is greater than the second preset signal strength, then determine the first configuration information corresponding to FDD and report the first configuration information corresponding to FDD to the corresponding base station so that the corresponding base station can perform single carrier configuration according to the first configuration information.

[0087] In this embodiment, if the current signal corresponding to FDD is greater than the second preset signal strength, the first configuration information corresponding to FDD is further determined. Specifically, the standard currently supported by the mobile terminal is determined, and the FDD frequency band corresponding to the currently supported standard is determined. The bandwidth information corresponding to the FDD frequency band is obtained, and the standard currently supported by the mobile terminal, the FDD frequency band corresponding to the currently supported standard, and the corresponding bandwidth information are determined as the first configuration information corresponding to FDD. The first configuration information corresponding to FDD is reported to the corresponding base station, and the base station performs single-carrier configuration based on the first configuration information.

[0088] Step 103b2: If the current signal strength corresponding to FDD is less than or equal to the second preset signal strength, then the third configuration information corresponding to FDD is determined, and the third configuration information corresponding to FDD is reported to the corresponding base station so that the corresponding base station can perform single carrier configuration according to the third configuration information.

[0089] In this embodiment, if the current signal strength corresponding to FDD is less than or equal to the second preset signal strength, it indicates that the current signal is poor. Further, the third configuration information corresponding to FDD is determined. Specifically, the mobile terminal's currently supported standard is determined, and the FDD frequency band corresponding to the currently supported standard is determined. The bandwidth information corresponding to the FDD frequency band is obtained. The mobile terminal's currently supported standard, the FDD frequency band corresponding to the currently supported standard, and the corresponding bandwidth information are determined as the third configuration information corresponding to FDD. The corresponding bandwidth information is the low bandwidth information corresponding to that frequency band. For example, if FDD n1 supports 20MHz or 40MHz, the bandwidth information corresponding to the FDD frequency band can be 20MHz, and the low bandwidth is reported. The third configuration information corresponding to FDD is reported to the corresponding base station, and the base station performs single-carrier configuration based on the third configuration information. It should be noted that the second preset signal strength is less than the first preset signal strength.
