Description

[0002] With the development of communication technology, mobile communication terminals introduce low power wake-up receivers (low power wake up radio, LP-WUR) to receive low power signals (low power signal), so that the main communication module is in a closed or ultra-deep sleep state, which can effectively reduce the power consumption of the terminal. The low power signal can also be called a low power wake up signal (low power wake up signal, LP-WUS). At present, the access network device usually directly performs paging after receiving the paging for the terminal. Considering that the terminal may move when the terminal or the main receiver (Main Radio) of the terminal is in an ultra-deep sleep state, after receiving the LP-WUS, the terminal needs to select or reselect a cell to select a suitable cell to reside after turning on the Main Radio.

[0080] For ease of understanding, some contents involved in the embodiments of the present application are described below:

[0081] 1. Low power receiver.

[0082] The low power receiver can be called LP-WUR or almost zero power wakeup radio (AZP-WUR). The basic working principle of LP-WUR is that the receiving end includes a first module and a second module. The first module is a main communication module for receiving and sending mobile communication data, and the second module is a low power receiving module (also called a low power wakeup receiving module) for receiving the above wakeup signal. Figure 2 As shown. In the energy-saving state, the terminal turns on the low-power receiving module to monitor LP-WUS and turns off the main communication module. When downlink data arrives, the network-side device sends a wake-up signal to the terminal. After the terminal monitors the wake-up signal through the low-power receiving module, it triggers the main communication module from off to on after a series of judgments. At this time, the low-power receiving module enters the off state from the working state. The low-power wake-up receiving module can be turned on continuously or intermittently, and can receive the low-power wake-up signal when it is turned on.

[0083] 2. Low power wake up signal (LP-WUS).

[0084] In order to reduce the receiving activity of the terminal in the standby state, the RF and baseband (MODEM) modules are truly turned off, thereby greatly reducing the power consumption of communication reception. This can be achieved by introducing a near "zero" power receiver in the receiving module of the terminal. This near "zero" power receiver does not require complex RF module signal detection (such as amplification, filtering, quantization, etc.) and MODEM signal processing, but only relies on passive matching filtering and signal processing with low power consumption.

[0085] On the base station side, by triggering a wake-up signal on demand, the near-zero power receiver can be activated to receive the activation notification, thereby triggering a series of processes inside the terminal, such as turning on the RF transceiver and baseband processing modules.

[0086] Such wake-up signals are usually some simple on-off keying signals, so that the receiver can be informed of the wake-up notification through simple energy detection and subsequent possible sequence detection and recognition processes. In addition, while the terminal turns on the low-power wake-up receiver to receive the wake-up signal, the main receiver module can maintain a low power consumption level, thereby achieving power saving by receiving the wake-up signal.

[0087] The reception of the low-power wake-up signal can be applied to a terminal in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) idle (RRC_idle) / inactive (inactive) state, and can also be applied to a terminal in an RRC connected state (RRC_connected), thereby achieving terminal energy saving.

[0088] In one embodiment, the wake-up signal mentioned in the present application is the wake-up signal received by the low-power receiver, that is, the low-power wake-up signal.

[0089] 3. LP-WUS triggers the terminal's main radio to switch from deep sleep state to micro sleep or active state.

[0090] The base station may not know whether the main radio of the terminal is in an idle / inactive state or an ultra-deepsleep state. In order to prevent the UE from missing the paging, when the base station receives the terminal paging sent by the core network (for the terminal in the idle or inactive state) or receives the terminal paging sent by another base station (for the terminal in the inactive state), it can send the paging physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) on the terminal's paging opportunity (Paging Occasion, PO) and send LP-WUS on the terminal's wake-up signal opportunity (WUSoccasion), so that the base station has a large signaling overhead.

[0091] After the terminal receives LP-WUS, and LP-WUS instructs the terminal to wake up, that is, the terminal needs to recover from the ultra-deep sleep state of the main radio to the normal idle state or inactive state (that is, to the monitoring state or micro sleep state). Considering that the cell where the terminal resides when receiving LP-WUS and the cell where the terminal resides when returning to the idle / inactive state are not necessarily the same cell, the terminal needs to select or reselect a cell, and then perform time and frequency synchronization with the selected cell (select or reselect a cell and synchronize within the t1 time period) before starting to monitor its own PO. For example, if Figure 3 Shown and Figure 4, where cell 1 (cell#1) is the cell controlled by base station 1 (gNB1), and cell#2 is the cell controlled by gNB2. The core network or anchor gNB (i.e., the base station to which the terminal last connected in the RRC_INACTIVE state) sends a paging message to the terminal at time T0. After the paging message arrives at gNB1, gNB1 determines whether to send LP-WUS based on the paging message and its own capabilities or whether the cell it controls supports LP-WUS. If gNB1 sends the LP-WUS of the UE at time T1; after the paging message arrives at gNB2, gNB2 sends the LP-WUS of the UE at time T1'. After receiving the LP-WUS in cell#1, the UE turns on the main radio, enters the RRC_IDLE / RRC_INACTIVE state, and selects or reselects to cell#2. Since the time of reaching cell#2 has exceeded the most recent PO of cell#2 after the UE wakes up, the UE monitors paging at PO#3 at time T2. The problem is that after sending LP-WUS, gNB#2 is not sure at which PO it should send paging. Therefore, it may send paging at the nearest PO position after its estimated UE wake-up time, for example, sending paging at PO#2. And according to the existing network paging method, after sending the paging, gNB2 will not continue to send paging at PO#3, but wait for the paging retransmission from the core network or anchor gNB, so that the UE will miss the paging and the base station will also make useless paging transmission.

[0092] Therefore, considering that the terminal or the main receiver (Main Radio) of the terminal may move in the ultra-deepsleep state, after receiving the LP-WUS, the terminal needs to select or reselect a suitable cell to reside after turning on the Main Radio. This may make the terminal unable to receive the paging sent by the access network device, resulting in paging failure and waste of paging signaling of the base station.

[0093] The paging processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below through some embodiments and application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0094] Reference Figure 5 , the embodiment of the present application provides a paging processing method, such as Figure 5 As shown, the paging processing method includes:

[0095] Step 501: The first access network device sends a wake-up signal to the terminal;

[0096] Step 502: After sending the wake-up signal, the first access network device sends at least one first paging to the terminal;

[0097] The start time of the first paging or the start time of the sending window of the first paging is the first start time, and the first start time is determined based on at least one of the following:

[0098] The transition delay of the terminal or the main receiver of the terminal from the ultra-deep sleep state to the normal receiving state;

[0099] The dwell delay of the terminal;

[0100] Target delay, where the target delay is used to indicate the delay for the terminal to select or reselect a cell after waking up;

[0101] The end time of the sending window of the wake-up signal or the sending time of the wake-up signal.

[0102] In the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned wake-up signal can be understood or replaced by a low-power wake-up signal. The above-mentioned ultra-deep sleep state is not an RRC state, but can be understood as a very power-saving power state, or can be understood as a shutdown state. The above-mentioned normal receiving state can be understood as the terminal being able to perform behaviors in the RRC_IDLE / RRC_INACTIVE state, including receiving paging, SSB-based cell selection or reselection-related measurements and evaluations, PLMN selection, receiving system information, and other behaviors.

[0103] Optionally, the terminal or the main receiver of the terminal switching from the ultra-deep sleep state to the normal receiving state may be understood or replaced by the terminal or the main receiver of the terminal exiting the ultra-deep sleep state.

[0104] Optionally, the first start time is determined based on the conversion delay, which can be understood as: the time interval between the first start time and the sending time of the wake-up signal or the end time of the sending window of the wake-up signal includes the duration of the conversion delay.

[0105] Optionally, the first start time is determined based on the residence delay and can be understood as: the time interval between the first start time and the sending time of the wake-up signal or the end time of the sending window of the wake-up signal includes the duration of the residence delay; the terminal's residence delay includes the terminal and the selected cell performing downlink synchronization and / or reading the master information block MIB of the cell, and / or reading the system information block 1 / SIB1 of the cell, and / or judging whether the cell is a suitable cell.

[0106] Optionally, the first start time is determined based on the target delay, which can be understood as: the time interval between the first start time and the sending time of the wake-up signal or the end time of the sending window of the wake-up signal includes the duration of the target delay.

[0107] Optionally, the end time of the wake-up signal sending window can be understood as the end moment of the wake-up signal sending window or the time unit where the end moment of the wake-up signal sending window is located. The first start time is determined based on the end time of the wake-up signal sending window, which can be understood as the first start time being the end time of the wake-up signal sending window, or being a moment that is after the end time of the wake-up signal sending window and is separated from the end of the wake-up signal sending window by a preset time length.

[0108] Optionally, the sending time of the wake-up signal can be understood as the end moment of the sending opportunity of the wake-up signal, or the time unit in which the end moment of the sending opportunity is located. The first start time is determined based on the sending time of the wake-up signal, which can be understood as the first start time being the sending time of the wake-up signal, or being a moment after the sending time of the wake-up signal and separated from the sending time of the wake-up signal by a preset time interval.

[0109] Optionally, the preset duration may be determined based on at least one of a conversion delay, a residence delay and a target delay, and may also be determined by a protocol agreement or a network configuration, which is not further limited herein.

[0110] Furthermore, the preset duration is a time offset value, which may be determined by the first access network device or the core network device, or may be agreed upon by a protocol, and is used to instruct the terminal to start monitoring the first paging after a certain time offset after monitoring the WUS.

[0111] It should be understood that the above-mentioned conversion delay, dwell delay, target delay, end time of the wake-up signal sending window and the sending time of the wake-up signal are used to determine the approximate position of the first paging opportunity. When sending the first paging, it is also necessary to further determine the first start time based on the configuration information of the time domain position of the paging opportunity. That is, in some embodiments, the above-mentioned first start time can be determined based on the time domain position of the paging opportunity and at least one of the following: conversion delay; dwell delay; target delay; end time of the wake-up signal sending window or the sending time of the wake-up signal.

[0112] In an embodiment of the present application, a wake-up signal is sent to a terminal through a first access network device; after sending the wake-up signal, the first access network device sends at least one first paging to the terminal; wherein the start time of the first paging or the start time of the sending window of the first paging is the first start time, and the first start time is determined based on at least one of the following: the transition delay of the terminal or the main receiver of the terminal from the ultra-deep sleep state to the normal receiving state; the residence delay of the terminal; the target delay, the target delay is used to indicate the delay of the terminal to select or reselect a cell after awakening; the end time of the sending window of the wake-up signal or the sending time of the wake-up signal. In this way, since the first access network device sends at least one first paging to the terminal at the first start time after sending the wake-up signal, the overhead of paging signaling in the process of selecting or reselecting a suitable cell for residence after the terminal receives the wake-up signal and turns on the Main Radio can be reduced. Therefore, the example of the present application reduces the paging signaling overhead of the access network device; at the same time, since the first access network device takes into account the delay of the terminal in selecting or reselecting a cell when sending the paging, it can ensure that the terminal can receive the paging message and avoid the terminal missing the paging.

[0113] Optionally, in some embodiments, the end time of the first paging or the end time of the sending window of the first paging is a first end time, and the first end time is determined based on at least one of the following:

[0114] a first paging opportunity for sending the first paging after the first start time;

[0115] the latest paging opportunity among the paging opportunities used by all cells in the target area to send the first paging, the target area being associated with the second paging received by the first access network device;

[0118] The second paging includes a core network paging sent by a core network device to the terminal or an access network paging sent by a second access network device to the terminal.

[0119] Optionally, the first end time may be the end moment of the first paging opportunity or the time unit where the end moment of the first paging opportunity is located. The first end time may also be the first moment after the first paging opportunity, the first moment being separated from the end moment of the first paging opportunity by a preset time length, or the first moment being separated from the end moment of the time unit where the end moment of the first paging opportunity is located by a preset time length.

[0120] Optionally, the above-mentioned first end time can be the end time of the latest paging opportunity among the paging opportunities used by all cells in the target area to send the first paging, or the end time of the time unit in which the latest paging opportunity among the paging opportunities used by all cells in the target area to send the first paging is located. The above-mentioned first end time can also be the second moment after the latest paging opportunity among the paging opportunities used by all cells in the target area to send the first paging, and the second moment and the end time of the latest paging opportunity among the paging opportunities used by all cells in the target area to send the first paging are separated by a preset time length, or the second moment and the end time of the time unit in which the latest paging opportunity among the paging opportunities used by all cells in the target area to send the first paging are separated by a preset time length. In an embodiment of the present application, the base station in the target area needs to know the paging configuration information of the cells controlled by other base stations in the target area, so as to determine the latest paging opportunity among the paging opportunities used by all cells in the target area to send the first paging.

[0121] Optionally, the first end time may be the time after the access network device sends the first paging N times starting from the first start time, or the time after the first start time plus a target duration. The target duration may be the duration for which the access device continues to send paging or the duration for which the terminal is required to continuously monitor paging after receiving the LP-WUS signal.

[0122] Optionally, the first end time may be the timing of sending the wake-up signal or the end time of the window for sending the wake-up signal plus a time offset value agreed upon in a protocol or configured in a network.

[0123] Optionally, the target area may include at least one of an access network notification area (RAN-based Notification Area, RNA) area and a tracking area (Tracking Area, TA) area.

[0124] Optionally, in some embodiments, the sending time of the wake-up signal or the starting time of the sending window of the wake-up signal is a second starting time, and the second starting time is determined based on at least one of the following:

[0125] The time when the first access network device receives the second paging;

[0126] The maximum transmission delay between access network devices in the target area;

[0127] The maximum value of the transmission delay of the core network equipment in the target area sending paging to the access network equipment;

[0128] Downlink timing deviation between cells in the target area;

[0129] The target area is associated with a second paging received by the first access network device, and the second paging includes a core network paging sent by a core network device to the terminal or an access network paging sent by a second access network device to the terminal.

[0130] Optionally, in some embodiments, the end time of the wake-up signal or the end time of the sending window of the wake-up signal is a second end time, and the second end time is determined based on at least one of the following:

[0131] second information, where the second information includes the number of times the first access network device repeatedly sends the wake-up signal in the cell associated with itself or the duration of repeatedly sending the wake-up signal after receiving the second paging once;

[0132] The latest sending timing among the sending timings used by all cells in the target area to send wake-up signals;

[0133] The maximum transmission delay between access network devices in the target area;

[0134] The maximum value of the transmission delay of the core network device sending the core network paging to the access network device in the target area;

[0135] Downlink timing deviation between cells in the target area;

[0136] A first sending opportunity for sending the wake-up signal after the second start time;

[0137] The target area is associated with the second paging received by the first access network device.

[0138] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first access network device sending a wake-up signal to the terminal includes:

[0139] The first access network device determines a sending window for a wake-up signal;

[0140] The first access network device sends the wake-up signal at at least one sending opportunity in a sending window of the wake-up signal.

[0141] In an embodiment of the present application, when the sending window of the wake-up signal includes multiple sending opportunities, the first access network device can send the wake-up signal at some or all of the sending opportunities, thereby ensuring that the terminal can receive the wake-up signal. At the same time, for some cells, the sending interval between the wake-up signal and the paging is increased, thereby taking into account the cell that sends the wake-up signal latest in the target area, and further ensuring that the terminal can receive the paging after receiving the wake-up signal.

[0142] Optionally, in some embodiments, before the first access network device sends a wake-up signal to the terminal, the method further includes:

[0143] The first access network device receives a second paging, where the second paging includes a core network paging sent by a core network device to the terminal or an access network paging sent by a second access network device to the terminal;

[0144] The second paging is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0145] Whether the terminal supports a wake-up signal;

[0146] The switching delay;

[0147] The dwell delay of the terminal;

[0148] the target delay;

[0149] first information, where the first information includes the number of times the first access network device repeatedly sends the first paging or the duration of repeatedly sending the first paging in the cell associated with the first access network device after receiving the second paging once;

[0150] second information, where the second information includes the number of times the first access network device repeatedly sends the wake-up signal in the cell associated with itself after receiving the second paging once or the duration of the repeated sending of the wake-up signal;

[0151] The third information is used to indicate that the terminal is supported to first monitor the paging opportunity and then perform cell selection or reselection after being awakened by the awakening signal.

[0152] In an embodiment of the present application, whether the above-mentioned terminal supports the wake-up signal can be understood as whether the terminal or the main receiver of the terminal supports an ultra-deep sleep state, or whether the terminal supports a low power consumption state or whether the terminal is equipped with a low power consumption receiver, or whether the terminal or the main receiver of the terminal is in an ultra-deep sleep state.

[0153] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the first access network device does not indicate the third information, it can be understood that the above-mentioned first start time needs to consider the above-mentioned target delay; in this way, after the terminal is awakened by the wake-up signal, the cell selection or reselection is first performed, and then the paging monitoring is performed. Since the target delay is considered, the first access network device can postpone sending the first paging, thereby ensuring that the terminal can avoid missing the first paging monitoring due to cell selection or reselection. When the first access network device indicates the third information, it can be understood that the above-mentioned first start time does not need to consider the above-mentioned target delay. At this time, after the terminal is awakened by the wake-up signal, the first access network device assumes that the current terminal has not moved, and the terminal can directly monitor the first paging. The first access network device can reduce the interval between the sending of the first paging and the wake-up monitoring signal, thereby reducing the delay of the terminal monitoring the first paging.

[0154] Optionally, in some embodiments, the wake-up signal is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0155] second information, where the second information includes the number of times the first access network device repeatedly sends the wake-up signal or the duration for which the first access network device repeatedly sends the wake-up signal;

[0156] The third information is used to indicate that the terminal is supported to first monitor the paging opportunity and then perform cell selection or reselection after being awakened by the awakening signal.

[0157] It should be noted that at least one of the second information and the third information may also be sent to the terminal in the form of other dedicated information or broadcast signaling, or may be agreed upon by a protocol.

[0158] It should be noted that, in the case where the access network device repeatedly sends the first paging, the first start time may not consider the target delay. Optionally, in some embodiments, a terminal in the RRC_IDLE or RRC_INACTIVE state receives LP_WUS configuration information, and the LP_WUS configuration information may be any one of the following:

[0159] Mode 1: LP_WUS configuration information is configured for each cell (per cell), and the LP_WUS configuration information includes the configuration information of WUS of one cell or multiple cells;

[0160] Mode 2: LP_WUS configuration information is configured per area, the LP_WUS configuration information is the same in the area, and the area includes the above-mentioned target area.

[0161] For mode 1, the cell needs to request LP_WUS configuration information from other cells in the target area. The target area includes RNA area, TA area, etc. For example, if the LP_WUS configuration information includes the configuration information of cell#1 and cell#2, cell#1 needs to obtain the configuration information of cell#2.

[0162] For method 1, it may also be agreed upon by protocol or indicated by the network that within the target area, the longest delay between LP_WUS transmission opportunities for terminals with the same terminal identifier (UE_ID) in all cells is Δt.

[0163] In order to better understand the present application, some examples are provided below for illustration.

[0164] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, cell#1 sends LP_WUS twice at T1 and T2; cell#2 sends LP_WUS twice at T1' and T2'; and the second paging arrives at cell#1 at T0 and arrives at cell#2 at T0', and the second information indicates that the LP_WUS needs to be sent repeatedly at least twice.

[0165] Optionally, cell#2 knows the LP_WUS timing of cell#1 and the delay Δt of cell#1 receiving the second paging. When determining the LP_WUS sending window, the delay Δt of cell#1 receiving the second paging can be considered. Then the starting position of the WUS sending window determined by cell#2 is as follows: Figure 6 As shown in FIG. 1 , if the delay Δt of cell#1 receiving the second paging is not considered, the starting position of the WUS sending window determined by cell#2 is as follows: Figure 7 shown.

[0166] Optionally, after receiving the second paging at time T0', cell#2 determines the latest LP_WUS sending timing of the cells in the target area. For example, if the LP_WUS sending timing of cell#1 is T2, WUS can be sent before T2. Cell#1 knows the WUS timing of cell#2, but determines that its own LP_WUS timing is the latest, so it also sends LP_WUS before T2.

[0167] Optionally, the network side device can also calculate the latest LP_WUS sending timing according to the paging timing of each cell and the delay of terminal wake-up. This requires mutual coordination and coordination of paging timing between the two cells, but does not require coordination of LP_WUS timing.

[0168] In an embodiment of the present application, the base station indicates in LP_WUS that the UE can first listen to PO when waking up, and then select or reselect a cell; the base station indicates in LP_WUS the number of times the base station repeats sending LP_WUS M or the duration T3 for the base station to send LP_WUS.

[0169] In some embodiments, the start time of the first paging transmission or the time of the first paging transmission is determined by the end time of the WUS transmission window or the time of WUS transmission, the UE's residence delay, the UE's switching delay, and the target delay for the UE to perform cell reselection. Figure 8 As shown, the time interval between the start time of the first paging transmission, the time of the first paging transmission and the end time of the WUS transmission window or the WUS transmission time includes a conversion delay, a target delay and a residence delay.

[0170] In some embodiments, when the first information first access network device repeatedly sends the first paging multiple times in its associated cell after receiving the second paging once, the starting time of the first paging can be the time when the main receiver of the UE wakes up after the base station sends the WUS or the time when the UE or the main receiver of the UE exits the super sleep state, specifically as Fig. 9 shown.

[0171] Optionally, in some embodiments, whether the start time of the sending window of the first paging is determined according to the indication information takes into account the UE cell selection or reselection

[0172] If the base station receives the third information or the protocol stipulates that the UE can first monitor the PO when waking up, and then perform cell selection or reselection, and the base station determines that it is the base station last connected to the paged UE, the start time of the first paging sending window of the base station can be determined by one or more of the following:

[0173] an end time of the LP_WUS sending window, wherein the end time of the LP_WUS sending window may be determined by the second information;

[0174] UE switching delay;

[0175] UE dwell delay;

[0176] A time offset value, where the time offset value is used to instruct the terminal to start monitoring the first paging after a certain time offset after monitoring the LP_WUS.

[0177] The embodiment of the present application takes into account that the most suitable cell after the UE's main receiver wakes up is most likely still the cell when it entered the ultra-deep sleep state before. Therefore, if the UE first monitors the first paging once in the original cell instead of performing cell selection or reselection first, the paging delay of the UE can also be greatly reduced. Based on this, the base station does not need to consider the delay caused by cell selection or reselection when sending the first paging.

[0178] However, the first paging will also be sent through multiple base stations in the TA or RNA, and it is also feasible to match the LP_WUS with this area, that is, the LP_WUS may also be sent through multiple base stations to support mobility. Then, the UE will not be required to return to the original cell when the UE or the UE's main receiver exits the ultra-deep sleep state and returns to the normal receiving state, but can return to any cell in the original TA or RNA, avoiding receiving the LP-WUS but staying outside the area, so that the first paging will not be received.

[0179] Considering the delay relationship between LP_WUS and PO, the UE should try to return to the cell that sends LP_WUS, that is, if the UE receives LP_WUS in cell#1, it will still monitor the paging in cell#1; there is also a suitable method, that is, after the UE wakes up, it stays in the cell indicated by LP_WUS or low power wake up signal (LP-SS), that is, in some embodiments, the terminal can determine the target cell to be resided based on the cell information indicated by LP_WUS or LP-SS, and monitor the first paging in the target cell.
