Description

Processing method, communication device and storage medium Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a processing method, communication equipment and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] In existing protocols, a base station configures connected-discontinuous reception (C-DRX) configuration information for a terminal through dedicated radio resource control (dedicate RRC) signaling.

[0003] During the process of conceiving and implementing this application, the inventors discovered that there are at least the following problems: Since the length of the C-DRX activation time depends on the size of the scheduler configured by the base station for each terminal, the inactive time during the discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle of a certain UE may be the active time during the DRX cycle of other UEs, and the DRX configurations of different UEs are evenly distributed throughout the C-DRX cycle. This results in the inactive time available to the base station in the entire C-DRX cycle being very limited, resulting in relatively high energy consumption of the base station.

[0004] The preceding description is intended to provide general background information and does not necessarily constitute prior art. Technical Solutions

In the following description, when referring to the drawings, identical numerals in different figures represent identical or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present application, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0075] It should be noted that, in this document, the terms "comprises", "includes" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, an element defined by the sentence "comprising a ..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device comprising the element. In addition, components, features, and elements with the same name in different embodiments of the present application may have the same meaning or different meanings, and their specific meanings need to be determined by their explanation in the specific embodiment or further combined with the context of the specific embodiment.

[0076] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used herein to describe various information, such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are used solely to distinguish information of the same type from one another. For example, without departing from the scope of this disclosure, first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information. Depending on the context, the term "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "when," "when," or "in response to a determination." Furthermore, as used herein, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context indicates otherwise. It should be further understood that the terms "comprising" and "including" indicate the presence of the described features, steps, operations, elements, components, items, types, and / or groups, but do not preclude the presence, occurrence, or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, components, items, types, and / or groups. The terms "or," "and / or," "including at least one of the following," etc., as used herein, may be interpreted as inclusive, meaning any one or any combination. For example, “comprising at least one of the following: A, B, C” means “any of the following: A; B; C; A and B; A and C; B and C; A and B and C”; and for another example, “A, B or C” or “A, B and / or C” means “any of the following: A; B; C; A and B; A and C; B and C; A and B and C”. An exception to this definition will occur only when a combination of elements, functions, steps or operations are inherently mutually exclusive in some manner.

[0077] It should be understood that, although the various steps in the flowchart in the embodiment of the present application are shown in sequence according to the indication of the arrows, these steps are not necessarily performed in sequence in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless clearly stated herein, the execution of these steps is not strictly limited in order, and they can be performed in other orders. Moreover, at least a portion of the steps in the figure may include multiple sub-steps or multiple stages, and these sub-steps or stages are not necessarily performed at the same time, but can be performed at different times, and their execution order is not necessarily performed in sequence, but can be performed in turn or alternately with at least a portion of other steps or sub-steps or stages of other steps.

[0078] As used herein, the words "if" and "if" may be interpreted as "at the time of" or "when" or "in response to determining" or "in response to detecting," depending on the context. Similarly, the phrases "if it is determined" or "if (stated condition or event) is detected" may be interpreted as "when it is determined" or "in response to the determination" or "when detecting (stated condition or event)" or "in response to detecting (stated condition or event)," depending on the context.

[0079] It should be noted that in this article, step codes such as S10 and S20 are used for the purpose of expressing the corresponding content more clearly and concisely, and do not constitute a substantial limitation on the order. When implementing the step, those skilled in the art may execute S20 first and then S10, etc., but these should all be within the scope of protection of this application.

[0080] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0081] In the subsequent description, the use of suffixes such as "module", "component" or "unit" to represent elements is only for the purpose of facilitating the description of the present application and has no specific meaning. Therefore, "module", "component" or "unit" can be used interchangeably.

[0082] The communication equipment mentioned in this application can be a terminal device (such as a mobile terminal, specifically a mobile phone) or a network device (such as a base station). The specific reference needs to be clarified in the context.

[0083] Optionally, the terminal device may be implemented in various forms. For example, the terminal device described in this application may include smart terminals such as mobile phones, tablet computers, laptop computers, PDAs, portable media players (PMPs), navigation devices, wearable devices, smart bracelets, pedometers, and fixed terminals such as digital TVs and desktop computers.

[0084] The subsequent description will be made by taking a mobile terminal as an example. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that, in addition to components specifically used for mobile purposes, the configuration according to the embodiments of the present application can also be applied to fixed-type terminals.

[0085] Please refer to Figure 1, which is a schematic diagram of the hardware structure of a mobile terminal for implementing various embodiments of the present application. The mobile terminal 100 may include components such as an RF (Radio Frequency) unit 101, a WiFi module 102, an audio output unit 103, an A / V (Audio / Video) input unit 104, a sensor 105, a display unit 106, a user input unit 107, an interface unit 108, a memory 109, a processor 110, and a power supply 111. Those skilled in the art will understand that the mobile terminal structure shown in Figure 1 does not limit the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal may include more or fewer components than shown, or may combine certain components, or arrange the components differently.

[0086] The following is a detailed introduction to the various components of the mobile terminal in conjunction with Figure 1:

[0087] The RF unit 101 can be used to send and receive information or receive signals during calls. Specifically, it receives downlink information from the base station and transmits it to the processor 110 for processing. It also transmits uplink data to the base station. Typically, the RF unit 101 includes, but is not limited to, an antenna, at least one amplifier, a transceiver, a coupler, a low-noise amplifier, a duplexer, and more. Furthermore, the RF unit 101 can communicate with the network and other devices via wireless communication. The above-mentioned wireless communications may use any communication standard or protocol, including but not limited to GSM (Global System of Mobile communication), GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), CDMA2000 (Code Division Multiple Access 2000), WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access), TD-SCDMA (Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access), FDD-LTE (Frequency Division Duplexing-Long Term Evolution), TDD-LTE (Time Division Duplexing-Long Term Evolution) and 5G, etc.

[0088] WiFi is a short-range wireless transmission technology. A mobile terminal, through WiFi module 102, enables users to send and receive emails, browse web pages, and access streaming media, providing wireless broadband Internet access. Although FIG1 illustrates WiFi module 102, it is understood that it is not a required component of the mobile terminal and can be omitted as needed without altering the essence of the invention.

[0089] The audio output unit 103 can convert audio data received by the RF unit 101 or the WiFi module 102 or stored in the memory 109 into an audio signal and output it as sound when the mobile terminal 100 is in a call signal reception mode, a talk mode, a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, a broadcast reception mode, or the like. Furthermore, the audio output unit 103 can also provide audio output related to a specific function performed by the mobile terminal 100 (e.g., a call signal reception sound, a message reception sound, etc.). The audio output unit 103 may include a speaker, a buzzer, or the like.

[0090] The A / V input unit 104 is used to receive audio or video signals. The A / V input unit 104 may include a graphics processing unit (GPU) 1041 and a microphone 1042. The GPU 1041 processes image data of still images or videos captured by an image capture device (e.g., a camera) in video capture mode or image capture mode. The processed image frames may be displayed on the display unit 106. The image frames processed by the GPU 1041 may be stored in the memory 109 (or other storage medium) or transmitted via the RF unit 101 or the WiFi module 102. The microphone 1042 may receive sound (audio data) in operating modes such as a phone call mode, a recording mode, and a voice recognition mode, and may process such sound into audio data. In the phone call mode, the processed audio (voice) data may be converted into a format that can be transmitted to a mobile communication base station via the RF unit 101. The microphone 1042 may implement various types of noise cancellation (or suppression) algorithms to eliminate (or suppress) noise or interference generated during the reception and transmission of audio signals.

[0091] The mobile terminal 100 also includes at least one sensor 105, such as a light sensor, a motion sensor, and other sensors. Optionally, the light sensor includes an ambient light sensor and a proximity sensor. Optionally, the ambient light sensor can adjust the brightness of the display panel 1061 according to the brightness of the ambient light, and the proximity sensor can turn off the display panel 1061 and / or the backlight when the mobile terminal 100 is moved to the ear. As a type of motion sensor, the accelerometer sensor can detect the magnitude of acceleration in all directions (generally three axes), and can detect the magnitude and direction of gravity when stationary. It can be used for applications that recognize the posture of the mobile phone (such as horizontal and vertical screen switching, related games, magnetometer posture calibration), vibration recognition related functions (such as pedometer, tapping), etc.; as for other sensors that can be configured in the mobile phone, such as fingerprint sensors, pressure sensors, iris sensors, molecular sensors, gyroscopes, barometers, hygrometers, thermometers, infrared sensors, etc., they will not be described here.

[0092] The display unit 106 is used to display information input by the user or information provided to the user. The display unit 106 may include a display panel 1061, which may be configured in the form of a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), or the like.

[0093] The user input unit 107 can be used to receive input digital or character information, and to generate key signal input related to the user settings and function control of the mobile terminal. Optionally, the user input unit 107 may include a touch panel 1071 and other input devices 1072. The touch panel 1071, also known as a touch screen, can collect user touch operations on or near it (such as operations performed by the user using a finger, stylus, or any other suitable object or accessory on or near the touch panel 1071) and drive the corresponding connection device according to a pre-set program. The touch panel 1071 may include two parts: a touch detection device and a touch controller. Optionally, the touch detection device detects the user's touch direction and detects the signal generated by the touch operation, and transmits the signal to the touch controller; the touch controller receives the touch information from the touch detection device and converts it into touch point coordinates, which are then sent to the processor 110. It can also receive commands sent by the processor 110 and execute them. In addition, the touch panel 1071 can be implemented using various types such as resistive, capacitive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave. In addition to the touch panel 1071, the user input unit 107 may further include other input devices 1072. Optionally, the other input devices 1072 may include, but are not limited to, one or more of a physical keyboard, function keys (such as volume control keys, power keys, etc.), a trackball, a mouse, a joystick, etc., and the specifics are not limited here.

[0094] Optionally, the touch panel 1071 may overlay the display panel 1061. When the touch panel 1071 detects a touch operation on or near it, it transmits the information to the processor 110 to determine the type of touch event. The processor 110 then provides a corresponding visual output on the display panel 1061 based on the type of touch event. Although in FIG1 , the touch panel 1071 and the display panel 1061 are shown as two separate components to implement the input and output functions of the mobile terminal, in some embodiments, the touch panel 1071 and the display panel 1061 may be integrated to implement the input and output functions of the mobile terminal, which is not limited to this specific embodiment.

[0095] The interface unit 108 serves as an interface through which at least one external device can be connected to the mobile terminal 100. For example, the external device may include a wired or wireless headset port, an external power supply (or battery charger) port, a wired or wireless data port, a memory card port, a port for connecting a device with an identification module, an audio input / output (I / O) port, a video I / O port, a headphone port, etc. The interface unit 108 may be used to receive input (e.g., data information, power, etc.) from an external device and transmit the received input to one or more elements within the mobile terminal 100 or may be used to transmit data between the mobile terminal 100 and an external device.

[0096] Memory 109 can be used to store software programs and various data. Memory 109 may primarily include a program storage area and a data storage area. Optionally, the program storage area may store an operating system and at least one application required for a function (such as a sound playback function or an image playback function); the data storage area may store data generated based on the use of the mobile phone (such as audio data, a phone book, etc.). Furthermore, memory 109 may include high-speed random access memory and non-volatile memory, such as at least one disk storage device, flash memory device, or other volatile solid-state storage device.

[0097] Processor 110 is the control center of the mobile terminal, connecting all components of the mobile terminal using various interfaces and circuits. By running or executing software programs and / or modules stored in memory 109 and accessing data stored in memory 109, it executes various functions of the mobile terminal and processes data, thereby providing overall monitoring of the mobile terminal. Processor 110 may include one or more processing units; preferably, processor 110 may integrate an application processor and a modem processor. Optionally, the application processor primarily handles the operating system, user interface, and application programs, while the modem processor primarily handles wireless communications. It is understood that the modem processor may not be integrated into processor 110.

[0098] The mobile terminal 100 may also include a power supply 111 (such as a battery) for supplying power to various components. Preferably, the power supply 111 may be logically connected to the processor 110 through a power management system, thereby managing functions such as charging, discharging, and power consumption through the power management system.

[0099] Although not shown in FIG. 1 , the mobile terminal 100 may further include a Bluetooth module, etc., which will not be described in detail here.

[0100] To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present application, the communication network system on which the mobile terminal of the present application is based is described below.

[0101] Please refer to Figure 2, which is a communication network system architecture diagram provided in an embodiment of the present application. The communication network system is an LTE system of universal mobile communication technology.

[0102] Optionally, UE201 may be the above-mentioned terminal 100, which will not be described in detail here.

[0103] E-UTRAN 202 includes eNodeB 2021 and other eNodeBs 2022 . Optionally, eNodeB 2021 may be connected to other eNodeBs 2022 via a backhaul (eg, an X2 interface). eNodeB 2021 is connected to EPC 203 , and eNodeB 2021 may provide access from UE 201 to EPC 203 .

[0104] EPC 203 may include an MME (Mobility Management Entity) 2031, an HSS (Home Subscriber Server) 2032, other MMEs 2033, an SGW (Serving Gate Way) 2034, a PGW (PDN Gate Way) 2035, and a PCRF (Policy and Charging Rules Function) 2036. Optionally, MME 2031 is a control node that processes signaling between UE 201 and EPC 203, providing bearer and connection management. HSS 2032 provides registers for managing functions such as the Home Location Register (not shown) and stores user-specific information such as service features and data rates. All user data can be sent through SGW2034, PGW2035 can provide IP address allocation and other functions for UE 201, PCRF2036 is the policy and charging control policy decision point for service data flow and IP bearer resources, and it selects and provides available policy and charging control decisions for the policy and charging execution function unit (not shown in the figure).

[0105] The IP service 204 may include the Internet, an intranet, an IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem), or other IP services.

[0106] Although the above introduction takes the LTE system as an example, those skilled in the art should know that this application is not only applicable to the LTE system, but can also be applied to other wireless communication systems, such as GSM, CDMA2000, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, 5G and future new network systems (such as 6G), etc., which are not limited here.

[0278] Tenth embodiment

[0279] 16 , based on the above embodiments, the tenth embodiment of the present application proposes a processing method.

[0280] Optionally, the terminal device determines whether to send uplink service data and / or reference signals, or whether to receive downlink service data and / or reference signals based on the first configuration information and / or the second configuration information.

[0281] Optionally, the first configuration information includes discontinuous reception configuration information.

[0282] Optionally, the second configuration information includes second discontinuous transmission and reception configuration information, second downlink discontinuous transmission configuration information, and second uplink discontinuous reception configuration information.

[0283] Optionally, the method further comprises at least one of the following:

[0284] The first configuration information and / or the second configuration information is configured by an RRC message;

[0285] The first configuration information and the second configuration information are activated by the same DCI domain;

[0286] The first configuration information and the second configuration information are activated by different DCI domains;

[0287] The first configuration information and the second configuration information are activated by the same MAC CE;

[0288] The first configuration information and the second configuration information are activated by different MAC CEs.

[0289] Optionally, in this embodiment, it is assumed that different power states of the network device correspond to the same second configuration information, and / or the first configuration information and the second configuration information are activated by the same DCI domain, then it is necessary to add a 1-bit "configuration switching domain" in DCI format 1_0. When the "configuration switching domain" in DCI format 1_0 is set to 0, the UE activates the UE-side discontinuous reception configuration information of the cell in the normal state and does not activate the second configuration information; and / or, when the "configuration switching domain" in DCI format 1_0 is set to 1, the UE activates the first configuration information as the UE-side discontinuous reception configuration information, and / or activates the second configuration information.

[0290] Optionally, in this embodiment, it is assumed that different power states of the network device correspond to the same second configuration information, and / or the terminal is configured only with the second configuration information. Then, when the "configuration switching domain" in DCI format 1_0 is set to 1, only the second configuration information needs to be activated, and / or the second configuration information is used as the UE-side discontinuous reception configuration information.

[0291] Optionally, in this embodiment, assuming that different power states of the network device correspond to different second configuration information, and / or the first configuration information and the second configuration information are activated by the same DCI domain, it is necessary to add N bits of "configuration switching domain" in DCI format 1_0. For example, different second configuration information of the network device in different power states can be activated by codepoint. For example, 000 corresponds to the second configuration information and the first configuration information when the activated cell is in a deep sleep state, 001 corresponds to the second configuration information and the first configuration information when the activated cell is in a light sleep state, 010 corresponds to the second configuration information and the first configuration information when the cell is in a micro-sleep state, 011 corresponds to the second configuration information and the first configuration information when the activated cell only has downlink transmission, 100 corresponds to the second configuration information and the first configuration information when the activated cell only has uplink transmission, and 111 corresponds to the UE-side discontinuous reception configuration information when the activated cell is in a normal state.

[0292] Similarly, the first configuration information and the second configuration information can also be activated by different DCI fields. Therefore, in this embodiment, two "switching configuration fields" need to be added to DCI format 1_0, one for activating the first configuration information and the other for activating the second configuration information.

[0293] Optionally, the first configuration information and / or the second configuration information of the cell being in the energy-saving state may also be activated through MAC CE.

[0294] In the technical solution of the present application, activating the first configuration information and / or the second configuration information by means of DCI or MAC CE can better adapt to the service transmission requirements of the terminal in different scenarios, and more flexibly and quickly enable the base station to enter the energy-saving state, thereby maximizing the purpose of base station energy saving.
