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

[0038] The technical scheme provided by each embodiment of the application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0039] Embodiment 1

[0040] The embodiment of the application provides a cluster air interface downlink point-to-multipoint transmission configuration method, which comprises cluster air interface configuration for idle state cluster transmission and cluster air interface configuration for connected state cluster transmission in system information (system information is a type of information periodically broadcast by a cluster base station, and different types of system information are divided into different categories according to functions, such as SIB1, SIB2 and SIB3, and the system in the system information refers to a radio access network, i.e. the following core network). The cluster air interface configuration for connected state cluster transmission is consistent with the cluster air interface configuration for idle state cluster transmission, or the cluster air interface configuration for connected state cluster transmission contains the cluster air interface configuration for idle state cluster transmission. The cluster air interface configuration for connected state cluster transmission comprises the following steps:

[0041] RRC connection establishment step, the trunking service talker establishes RRC connection with the core network, the core network includes several base stations, in the RRC connection establishment step, the trunking service talker initiates RRC connection establishment process, and the trunking capability information is informed to the base station through the core network.

[0042] Trunking service context establishment step, the core network establishes trunking service context with the trunking core network scheduling subsystem, after the core network establishes trunking service context with the trunking core network scheduling subsystem, the base station judges that the trunking service talker and the trunking service listener are trunking communication terminals according to the information reported by the trunking service talker and the trunking service listener, or according to the terminal context information obtained from the core network.

[0043] Configuration step, the trunking service talker and the trunking service listener are configured with trunking air interface;

[0044] Paging step, the core network pages the listener according to the paging message of the trunking core network scheduling subsystem;

[0045] Trunking service data forwarding step, the core network forwards the trunking service data according to the trunking service air interface configuration.

[0046] The above-mentioned trunking air interface configuration is specifically: in the system information of the trunking communication system, the initial BWP (BWP-DownlinkCommon-Trunking) dedicated to the trunking terminal is configured into the entire system carrier bandwidth, that is, downlink common link aggregation, and the PDCCH link aggregation configuration (PDCCH-Config-Trunking) and the PDSCH link aggregation configuration (PDSCH-Config-Trunking) dedicated to the downlink point-to-multipoint transmission are increased.

[0047] The application introduces the concept of BWP (Bandwidth Part) through the NR air interface, the terminal works in only one BWP at the same time, the BWP can be configured to be less than the system carrier bandwidth, and two BWP configuration modes are adopted:

[0048] Mode 1: The initial BWP of the cluster terminal in the idle state is configured as the entire system carrier bandwidth, which is suitable for the case of small carrier bandwidth (for example, the carrier bandwidth is less than 20Mhz, and the carrier bandwidth is less than 20Mhz for the case of 1Ghz below frequency band, which is very common, and using 1Ghz below frequency band can provide good coverage with less base station deployment). Ensure that the BWP of the cluster terminal in the idle state is wide enough to ensure sufficient downlink point-to-multipoint air interface transmission resources and meet the scheduling flexibility requirements.

[0049] Mode 2: For the case of large system carrier bandwidth (for example, the system carrier bandwidth is 100Mh), on the one hand, the BWP of the cluster terminal in the idle state needs to be wide enough to ensure sufficient downlink point-to-multipoint air interface transmission resources and meet the scheduling flexibility requirements; on the basis of mode 1, increase the PDCCH link aggregation configuration (PDCCH-Config-Trunking) and PDSCH link aggregation configuration (PDSCH-Config-Trunking) dedicated to cluster downlink point-to-multipoint transmission, to ensure that the BWP received by the non-cluster terminal in the IDLE state is as small as possible, and reduce the power consumption of the non-cluster terminal in the IDLE state.

[0050] In the above cluster air interface configuration, the initial BWP configuration for the cluster terminal is added in the system message, which is the downlink common link aggregation (BWP-DownlinkCommon-Trunking). The BWP configuration in BWP-DownlinkCommon-Trunking is compatible with the configuration parameters of the original downlink common link (BWP-DownlinkCommon), and the BWP bandwidth used is larger than BWP-DownlinkCommon. The cluster terminal uses the downlink common link aggregation (BWP-DownlinkCommon-Trunking) configuration parameters, which can receive the original system information and paging message, and the downlink common link aggregation (BWP-DownlinkCommon-Trunking) configuration also contains downlink physical control channel aggregation (pdcch-Config-Trunking) and downlink physical shared channel aggregation (pdsch-Config-Trunking) configuration.

[0051] After the cluster air interface configuration for the idle state cluster transmission is completed in the above manner, the idle cluster terminal normally receives system broadcast messages and paging messages. In addition to the downlink physical control channel common link (pdcch-Configcommon) and the downlink physical shared channel common link (pdsch-Configcommon) in the downlink common link (BWP-DownlinkCommon) that the idle cluster terminal needs to receive, if the system message also configures the downlink physical control channel link aggregation configuration (pdcch-Config-Trunking) and the downlink physical shared channel link aggregation configuration (pdsch-Config-Trunking) parameters, the idle cluster terminal also needs to attempt to receive on the resources indicated by the pdcch-Config-Trunking and pdsch-Config-Trunking parameters.

[0052] The pdcch-Config-Trunking and pdsch-Config-Trunking are added in the BWP-DownlinkCommon configuration parameter in the existing system information block 1 (SIB1), which is used to configure the BWP used by the cluster downlink point-to-multipoint transmission and the PDCCH and PDSCH configuration, wherein the pdcch-Config-Trunking and pdsch-Config-Trunking indicate that the resources are only used for downlink reception of the cluster control channel and the cluster service channel.

[0053] The specific configuration program code is as follows:

[0061] -> pdcch-Config-Trunking Downlink control channel link aggregation configuration

[0062] -> pdsch-Config-Trunking Downlink shared channel link aggregation configuration

[0063] In addition, the cluster air interface configuration further comprises: adding an information block link aggregation (SIB-Trunking) in the system information of the cluster communication system for configuring the cluster function related parameters, and adding a downlink general configuration information block link aggregation (DownlinkConfigCommonSIB-Trunking) in the information block link aggregation (SIB-Trunking) for configuring the BWP configuration used by the cluster downlink point-to-multipoint transmission and the PDCCH link aggregation configuration and the PDSCH link aggregation configuration. The cluster terminal uses the BWP configuration to receive the system broadcast channel, the paging channel, the cluster control channel, and the cluster service channel in the downlink.

[0064] The specific configuration program code is as follows:

[0065] SIB-Trunking

[0066] -> servingcellConfigCommonSIB-Trunking Serving cell common configuration system information block - link aggregation

[0067] -> DownlinkConfigCommonSIB-Trunking Downlink general configuration information block - link aggregation

[0070] -> pdcch-Config-Trunking Downlink physical control channel - configuration - link aggregation

[0071] -> pdsch-Config-Trunking Downlink physical shared heart - configuration - link aggregation

[0072] Add the DownlinkConfigCommonSIB-Trunking (Downlink Common Configuration Information Block - Link Aggregation) configuration to the system message. This includes BWP, PDCCH link aggregation, and PDSCH link aggregation configurations for terminals in idle state clusters. Cluster terminals use this BWP configuration for downlink reception on system broadcast channels, paging channels, cluster control channels, and cluster service channels. Add the DownlinkConfigCommonSIB-Trunking configuration to information block 1 (SIB1) to configure the BWP, PDCCH link aggregation, and PDSCH link aggregation configurations used for downlink point-to-multipoint transmission in the cluster.

[0073] The specific configuration program code is as follows:

[0080] ->pdsch-Config-Trunking******Downlink Physical Sharing - Configuration - Link Aggregation

[0081] like Figure 2 As shown, when a terminal enters the connected state, after the base station determines that the terminal is a trunking terminal, the base station provides a dedicated BWP configuration (including PDCCH-trunking configuration and PDSCH-Trunking configuration) for the connected state trunking terminal. The BWP configuration (including PDCCH-trunking and PDSCH-Trunking configuration) for the connected state trunking terminal can be consistent with the BWP-trunking configuration for the idle state trunking terminal, or it can include the BWP-trunking configuration for the idle state trunking terminal. The specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0082] Step 1: the terminal initiates an RRC connection establishment process, and in the connection establishment process, the terminal can inform the base station of the group capability information. Wherein, RRC (Radio Resource Control) is a control signaling different from PDCCH, which is transmitted from the base station to the terminal.

[0083] Step 2: the base station determines that the terminal is a group communication terminal according to the terminal reporting information or according to the terminal context information obtained from the core network.

[0084] Step 3: in the RRC connection reconfiguration process, the base station configures a dedicated BWP for the group terminal and a PDCCH-trunking configuration and a PDSCH-trunking configuration dedicated to the group downlink point-to-multipoint transmission. The configuration can be consistent with the group initial BWP configuration (including PDCCH-trunking configuration and PDSCH-trunking configuration) carried in the system message and the BWP-trunking configuration for the group terminal in the idle state, or can include the BWP-trunking configuration for the group terminal in the idle state.
