Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of communication technology, and specifically relates to a paging configuration method, a terminal and a network side device. Background Art

[0002] A terminal device configured with multiple cards (such as dual cards or more cards) can be called a multi-card terminal device. A multi-card terminal device can contain multiple user equipment (UE), which can be called multi-universal subscriber identity module (MUSIM) UE, or multi-card user equipment. UE can be considered as a contracting entity, and the contracting entity can be reflected by a user identification module (Universal Subscriber Identity Module, SIM) card. When multiple SIM cards are inserted into a multi-card terminal device or multiple electronic SIM card information is configured, the multi-card terminal device and different contracting entities can constitute different UEs.

[0003] The paging function requires the UE to go to a specific location to receive information from the network looking for the UE. The specific location includes a paging occasion (PO) or a paging frame (PF). A paging occasion is a subframe that may contain paging messages for multi-card user equipment. A paging frame is a radio frame that sends paging messages and may contain one or more paging occasions. When discontinuous reception (DRX) is turned on, in order to save power, the UE only monitors its own paging occasions within the DRX cycle, and the frame number is from 0 to 1023.

[0039] The paging configuration 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.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a paging configuration method 200, which can be executed by a first UE and includes the following steps.

[0041] S202: The first UE sends first request information, where the first request information is used to request paging parameters.

[0042] Optionally, in various embodiments of the present application, the first UE (or referred to as UE1) and the second UE (or referred to as UE2) may belong to the same multi-card terminal device, and the first UE and the second UE may be referred to as multi-card user equipment (Multi-Universal Subscriber Identity Module User Equipment, MUSIM UE).

[0043] Optionally, in various embodiments of the present application, the first UE and the second UE reside in the same operator or the same cell. For example, when the first UE and the second UE reside in the same operator or the same cell, the first UE sends the first request information.

[0044] In various embodiments of the present application, the first request information may be used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0045] 1) The UE identity requested for determining the paging location.

[0046] Optionally, the UE identifier of the request for determining the paging location may be the UE identifier of the second UE, so as to facilitate alignment of the paging locations of the first UE and the second UE, thereby facilitating energy saving of the terminal.

[0047] The paging position mentioned in various embodiments of the present application may include at least one of the following: a paging occasion (Paging Occasion, PO) or a paging frame (Paging Frame, PF).

[0048] 2) A requested UE hash identifier, where the requested UE hash identifier is used to determine a paging hyperframe (PagingHyperframe, PH).

[0049] Optionally, the UE hash identifier of the request may be the UE hash identifier of the second UE, so as to facilitate PH alignment of the first UE and the second UE, thereby facilitating terminal energy saving.

[0050] 3) Requested extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) parameter configuration.

[0051] Optionally, the eDRX parameter configuration of the request is the same as the eDRX parameter configuration of the second UE, thereby facilitating energy saving of the terminal.

[0052] The eDRX parameter configuration mentioned in various embodiments of the present application may include at least one of the following: eDRX cycle, paging time window (Paging Time Window, PTW) length.

[0053] 4) Identification information of the first UE.

[0054] In some examples, the network may know in advance that the first UE is associated with the second UE, for example, knowing that the first UE and the second UE belong to the same multi-card terminal device. In the case where the first request information includes the identification information of the first UE, the network may configure paging parameters for the first UE so that the paging positions of the first UE and the second UE are aligned, thereby facilitating terminal energy saving.

[0055] 5) Identification information of the second UE.

[0056] This example facilitates the network to configure paging parameters for the first UE so that the paging positions of the first UE and the second UE are aligned, thereby facilitating terminal energy saving.

[0057] 6) Requested paging packet.

[0058] In this example, the first UE may request to be in the same paging group as the second UE, thereby facilitating terminal energy saving.

[0059] 7) Requested terminal-specific Discontinuous Reception (DRX) cycle.

[0060] Optionally, the terminal-specific DRX cycle requested by the first UE is the same as the terminal-specific DRX cycle of the second UE, thereby facilitating terminal energy saving.

[0061] 8) The reason or purpose of the request is multi-SIM (MUSIM).

[0062] In this example, it is convenient for the network to configure paging parameters for the first UE so that the paging positions of the first UE and the second UE are aligned, thereby facilitating terminal energy saving.

[0063] 9) The first UE is a multi-SIM user equipment (MUSIM UE).

[0064] This example facilitates the network to configure paging parameters for the first UE so that the paging positions of the first UE and the second UE are aligned, thereby facilitating terminal energy saving.

[0065] 10) Part or all of the information carried by the first request information is information of the second UE.

[0066] For example, the following information carried by the first request information is information of the second UE: requested UE identifier for determining paging location, requested UE hash identifier, requested eDRX parameter configuration, requested paging group, requested terminal-specific DRX cycle, etc.

[0067] S204: The first UE receives a paging configuration, where the paging configuration is used to configure paging parameters for the first UE.

[0068] In the paging configuration method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the first UE sends a first request message, the first request message is used to request paging parameters, and the first request message can be used to indicate at least one of the following: a requested UE identifier for determining a paging location, a requested UE hash identifier, a requested eDRX parameter configuration, identification information of the first UE, identification information of the second UE, and a requested paging group; a requested terminal-specific DRX cycle, and the reason or purpose of the request is MUSIM; the first UE is a MUSIMUE, and part or all of the information carried in the first request message is information of the second UE. The above information indicated by the first request message facilitates the network to configure appropriate paging parameters for the terminal and improve communication performance.

[0069] It can be understood that in the related art, when multiple UEs in a multi-card terminal device are in an idle (IDLE) state or an inactive (Inactive) state, the paging positions may not be aligned. That is, even if multiple MUSIM UEs reside in the same cell, the multi-card terminal device receives paging for each UE based on the paging position calculated according to the terminal identifier (UE ID). In the case of misaligned paging positions, the multi-card terminal device needs to monitor PO multiple times in one DRX cycle. Similarly, when configuring eDRX, the multi-card terminal device may need to monitor PO multiple times in one eDRX cycle.

[0070] The paging configuration method provided in the embodiment of the present application facilitates the alignment of paging positions when MUSIM UEs in multi-card terminal devices reside in the same operator or even the same cell through the content indicated by the first request information, thereby facilitating terminal energy saving.

[0071] The application scenarios of various embodiments of the present application are as follows:

[0072] Scenario 1: In MUSIM UE (eg, including UE1 and UE2), UE2 has been configured with eDRX by the core network, and UE1 requests the core network to configure eDRX.

[0073] In this scenario, one implementation method is: the first request information of UE1 uses the relevant information of UE2 to facilitate the alignment of the paging positions of UE1 and UE2, thereby facilitating energy saving of the terminal.

[0074] Scenario 2: MUSIM UEs (eg, including UE1 and UE2) are all in IDLE state, and multiple UEs request eDRX at the same time.

[0075] In this scenario, one implementation method is: after UE2 completes the eDRX configuration, UE1 sends a first request message to request eDRX configuration, wherein the first request message is aligned or uses relevant information of UE2 to facilitate alignment of paging locations of UE1 and UE2, thereby facilitating terminal energy saving.

[0076] Scenario 3: MUSIM UEs (eg, including UE1 and UE2) are all in IDLE state, and multiple UEs are configured with eDRX.

[0077] In this scenario, one implementation method is: when it is determined that the eDRX is not aligned, UE1 sends a first request message to request adjustment of the eDRX configuration, so as to facilitate alignment of the paging positions of UE1 and UE2, thereby facilitating energy saving of the terminal.

[0078] Through the negotiation of the above-mentioned paging parameter configuration, the MUSIM UE has an aligned DRX cycle (Cycle), eDRX cycle, paging time window (PTW) length, PTW start point, end point, and paging position. The above-mentioned "alignment" includes strict alignment or approximate alignment or overlap of the paging position. For example, the paging positions of UE1 and UE2 are the same; or the eDRX PTW monitored by UE1 is part of the eDRX PTW monitored by UE2, which is beneficial to energy saving of MUSIM UE.

[0079] Optionally, the paging parameter is used to align the paging positions of the first UE and the second UE.

[0080] The paging position alignment of the first UE and the second UE mentioned in various embodiments of the present application may include at least one of the following:

[0081] 1) The DRX cycle or eDRX cycle of the first UE is the same as that of the second UE.

[0082] 2) The paging locations of the first UE and the second UE are the same or overlapped, and the paging location may include PO or PF.

[0083] 3) The PTW positions of the first UE and the second UE are the same or overlap.

[0084] 4) The first UE and the second UE are allocated in the same paging group.

[0085] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, Figure 3 The PTW positions and PO of UE1 and UE2 are not aligned. By using the method provided in the embodiment of the present application, Figure 4 The PTW positions of UE1 and UE2 are aligned with PO, which facilitates terminal energy saving.

[0086] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, Figure 5 The DRX cycles of UE1 and UE2 are the same, but the POs are not aligned; through the method provided in the embodiment of the present application, Figure 6 The PO of UE1 and UE2 are aligned to facilitate terminal energy saving.

[0087] like Figure 7 As shown, the DRX cycles of UE1 and UE2 are different, but the POs of UE1 and UE2 overlap, which also means that the paging positions of UE1 and UE2 are aligned.

[0088] Optionally, in various embodiments of the present application, the paging configuration received by the first UE may include at least one of the following:

[0089] 1) A replacement UE identity, wherein the replacement UE identity is used to determine the paging location.

[0090] 2) Replace the UE hash identifier, where the replaced UE hash identifier is used to determine the PH.

[0091] Optionally, the replacement UE hash identifier is the same as the hash identifier of the second UE.

[0092] Optionally, the alternative UE hash identifier is 13 bits.

[0093] 3) Negotiated eDRX parameter configuration.

[0094] Optionally, the negotiated eDRX parameter configuration is the same as the eDRX parameter configuration requested by the first UE.

[0095] 4) Identification information of the second UE, where the identification information of the second UE is used to determine a paging location or associate the first UE with the second UE.

[0096] 5) Confirmation information of the association between the first UE and the second UE.

[0097] 6) Information of paging group.

[0098] Optionally, the information of the paging group is determined based on the first request information.

[0099] 7) Accepted terminal-specific DRX cycle.

[0100] Optionally, after the first UE receives the paging configuration, the method further includes at least one of the following:

[0101] 1) If the paging configuration includes the alternative UE identifier, the first UE uses the alternative UE identifier to calculate a hash identifier or UE_ID_H, where UE_ID_H may be the 13 most significant bits of the Hashed ID.

[0102] 2) If the paging configuration does not include the alternative UE identifier, the first UE calculates a hash identifier or UE_ID_H using the 5G temporary user identifier (5G-S-TMSI) of the first UE.

[0103] 3) If the paging configuration includes the alternative UE hash identifier, the first UE calculates the PH using the alternative UE hash identifier.

[0104] 4) If the paging configuration does not include the alternative UE hash identifier, the first UE calculates the PH using the UE_ID_H of the first UE.

[0105] Optionally, in each of the above embodiments, the first UE sending the first request information includes: when the first UE is configured with idle eDRX to monitor core network paging, and the second UE is configured with inactive eDRX or idle eDRX, the first UE sends the first request information.

[0106] Optionally, in each of the above embodiments, the paging parameter configured for the first UE includes a negotiated eDRX parameter configuration. In one example, the negotiated eDRX parameter configuration is determined based on the following information contained in the first request information: the eDRX parameter configuration requested by the first UE, and the identification information of the second UE. In another example, the negotiated eDRX parameter configuration is determined by the access network device based on the paging assistance information from the core network device, and the core network device can receive the first request information from the terminal.

[0107] Optionally, in each of the above embodiments, the first UE and the second UE are assigned to the same paging group; wherein the first request information is also used to indicate that the first UE and the second UE are associated; or, the first request information includes the requested UE identifier for determining the paging location, and the requested UE identifier for determining the paging location is used to determine the paging location or the paging group; the paging configuration includes an alternative UE identifier, and the alternative UE identifier is used to determine the paging location or the paging group.

[0108] To illustrate the paging configuration method provided in the embodiments of the present application in detail, several specific embodiments will be described below.

[0109] Embodiment 1

[0110] In this embodiment, the core network configures eDRX parameters for the first UE, such as T eDRX,CN .

[0111] The core network configures the aligned T eDRX,CN The method comprises the following steps:

[0112] Step 1: UE1 sends first request information to the network, where the first request information is used to provide the network with information for configuring eDRX.

[0113] Without loss of generality, the UE is a MUSIM UE.

[0114] The first request information may include or indicate at least one of the following:

[0115] 1) Requested UE ID for determining the paging location. Such as 5G-S-TMSI low bit information, N is greater than or equal to 32 bits. In an implementation method, the 5G-S-TMSI bit information is part or all of the 5G-S-TMSI bits of UE2 in the MUSIM UE.

[0116] By reporting the 5G-S-TMSI bit information, it is convenient to negotiate with the network to replace the UE identity for associating with MUSIMUE, determining the paging location, and calculating UE_ID_H or superframe.

[0117] Among them, the MUSIM UE is associated, for example, the UE2 ID is reported, such as all bits of the 5G-S-TMSI, and the core network associates UE1 with the UE2 corresponding to the reported 5G-S-TMSI, or in other words, the UE1 and the UE2 corresponding to the reported 5G-S-TMSI are in the same multi-card terminal MUSIM UE.

[0118] 2) Requested UE Hashed ID.

[0119] The hash identifier may also be called a hash identifier, and the requested UE hash identifier is used to negotiate with the network some or all of the hash identifiers of the UE1. In one implementation method, the requested UE hash identifier is the UE_ID_H of UE2 in the MUSIM UE, where UE_ID_H is the 13 most significant bits of the hash identifier.

[0120] By providing the requested 13-bit UE_ID_H to negotiate the core network paging superframe (PH), the signaling load can be reduced compared to reporting the 48-bit or 32-bit 5G-S-TMSI.

[0121] 3) Requested eDRX parameters (i.e. Requested extended DRX parameters) configuration.

[0122] The eDRX parameter configuration includes the eDRX cycle and the PTW length. The eDRX parameter configuration requested by the MUSIM UE is the same. For example, UE1 and UE2 in a multi-SIM terminal device request the same eDRX parameter configuration, such as the eDRX cycle and the PTW length.

[0123] 4) The first indication information is used for any one of the following: identification information of the first UE; the cause (cause) or purpose (purpose) of the request is multi-card (MUSIM); UE1 is a multi-card user equipment (MUSIM UE); indicating that the UE identification information requested for determining the paging location, or the requested UE hash identifier or the requested eDRX parameter configuration is information of a MUSIM-associated UE.

[0124] Optionally, the first request information is included in any one of the following messages:

[0125] 1) Registration request message (Registration Req, Registration Update).

[0126] 2) Attachment request message (Attach Req, Reattach req).

[0127] 3) Tracking Area Update Request message (Tracking Area Update Request).

[0128] Step 2: UE1 receives first configuration information sent by the network, where the first configuration information is used to configure eDRX related information.

[0129] The first configuration information includes at least one of the following:

[0130] 1) Alternative UE identification information (Alternative UE ID, or accepted UE ID).

[0131] The replacement UE identification information is used for at least one of the following:

[0132] a: Calculate UE_ID_H, that is, the network and UE1 use the alternative UE identification information to calculate UE_ID_H.

[0133] A calculation method, UE_ID_H is the 13 most significant bits of a hash identifier, and the hash identifier is a 32-bit (ie, bits b31, b30 ..., b0) frame check sequence (FCS) of a replacement UE identifier.

[0134] b: Align the paging position. For example, the lowest 10 bits of the UE identification information are used to calculate the paging position, such as calculating the PO position.

[0135] c: Associate with MUSIM UE.

[0136] For example, UE1 reports UE2 ID, such as all bits of 5G-S-TMSI, and the core network associates UE1 with UE2 corresponding to the reported 5G-S-TMSI, or in other words, UE1 and UE2 corresponding to the reported 5G-S-TMSI are in the same MUSIM UE.

[0137] 2) Alternative UE Hashed ID, also known as Negotiated UE Hashed ID. A hash ID can also be called a hash ID.

[0138] The alternative UE hash identifier is used to calculate a paging superframe (PH).

[0139] In an implementation method, the replacement UE hash identifier sent by the network is the same as the UE hash identifier requested by the UE.

[0140] In one implementation, the UE hash identifier is replaced with 13 bits. By providing an alternative 13-bit UE_ID_H to determine the paging superframe PH, the signaling load can be reduced compared to using a 48-bit or 32-bit 5G-S-TMSI.

[0141] 3) Negotiated eDRX parameter configuration.

[0142] eDRX parameters include eDRX cycle, PTW length, etc.

[0143] Optionally, the negotiated eDRX parameter configuration is the same as a value requested by UE1.

[0144] Optionally, the first configuration information is included in any one of the following messages:

[0145] 1) Registration Accept message (Registration Accept).

[0146] 2) Attach Accept message (Attach Accept).

[0147] 3) Tracking Area Update Accept message (Tracking Area Update Accept).

[0148] Step 3: UE1 calculates the paging superframe (PH), including at least one of the following (this step is also applicable to the network):

[0149] If UE1 is configured with the alternative UE identification information, UE1 uses the alternative UE identification information to calculate a hashed ID or UE_ID_H.

[0150] Right now:

[0151]

[0152]

[0153] If UE1 is not configured with the alternative UE identification information, UE1 uses its own 5G-S-TMSI to calculate the hash identification or UE_ID_H.

[0154] If UE1 is configured with the alternative UE hash identifier, UE1 uses the alternative UE hash identifier to calculate a paging superframe (PH).

[0155] Among them, the H-SFN corresponding to the core network paging superframe PH satisfies the following equation:

[0156]

[0157] If UE1 is not configured with the alternative UE hash identifier, UE1 uses UE_ID_H to calculate PH

[0158] In addition, when the eDRX cycle is greater than 10.24 seconds, UE1 and UE2 align the following parameters: eDRX cycle; PTW window length; PTW start position.

[0159] Embodiment 2

[0160] In this embodiment, the access network device (such as a base station) configures aligned eDRX for UE1 and UE2.

[0161] In this embodiment, the MUSIM UE monitors the core network paging according to the idle state eDRX and monitors the access network device paging according to the ran-ExtendedPagingCycle.

[0162] Optionally, UE1 requests aligned inactive eDRX, that is, a ran-ExtendedPagingCycle parameter, from RAN.

[0163] The signaling process is as follows:

[0164] Method 1: Core network configuration.

[0165] Based on the first embodiment, the core network sends paging assistance information to the base station, where the paging assistance information includes at least one of the following:

[0166] 1) A replacement UE identity, wherein the replacement UE identity is used to determine the paging location.

[0167] 2) Replace the UE hash identifier, where the replaced UE hash identifier is used to determine the PH.

[0168] 3) Negotiated eDRX parameter configuration.

[0169] 4) eDRX parameter configuration requested by UE1, namely, ran-ExtendedPagingCycle.

[0170] 5) Identification information of UE2.

[0171] 6) The reason or purpose of the request is MUSIM.

[0172] 7) UE1 is a MUSIM UE.

[0173] 8) Part or all of the information carried in the first request information is information of UE2.

[0174] The auxiliary information helps the base station configure desired eDRX parameters for UE1.

[0175] The base station configures the ran-ExtendedPagingCycle to UE1. The configuration process of the ran-ExtendedPagingCycle is the same as the above embodiment.

[0176] Method 2: UE1 negotiates with the base station on a ran-ExtendedPagingCycle, including the following steps.

[0177] Step 1: UE1 sends a first request message to the network, where the request message includes a requested ran-ExtendedPagingCycle, or associated MUSIM UE identification information (ie, identification information of UE2).

[0178] Step 2: The base station configures the ran-ExtendedPagingCycle to UE1, and the configuration process is the same as the previous embodiment.

[0179] The first request information may be included in a UE assistance information message, a radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) recovery request message, and the like.

[0183] Embodiment 4

[0184] This embodiment mainly introduces DRX alignment, such as UE1 negotiating with the network to align DRX and paging timing, including the following steps.

[0189] The first request information may be included in messages such as UE assistance information message, registration request, tracking area update request, and attach request.

[0192] 1) Terminal-specific DRX cycle

[0193] 2) Replace the UE identity and use it to calculate the paging location.

[0197] Embodiment 6

[0198] This embodiment mainly introduces eDRX alignment.

[0199] In MUSIM UE, when UE2 is configured with idle eDRX and inactive eDRX, and UE1 is not configured with eDRX, UE1 aligns DRX configuration according to the method of Embodiment 4, including aligning the terminal-specific DRX cycle of UE1 with the terminal-specific DRX cycle of UE2 and aligning the paging position.

[0200] Embodiment 7

[0201] This embodiment mainly introduces how to adjust the paging group so that the paging early indication (PEI) of UE1 and UE2 is the same.

[0202] Adjusting the paging group means that the MUSIM UEs monitor the same PO and are allocated to the same paging subgroup, which helps the UEs save energy.

[0203] Method 1: The core network configures paging groups.

[0204] Based on the association information of MUSIM UE, it is configured to the same PEI group and the association relationship is reported during registration. The same PEI group is allocated during registration.

[0205] Similar to the first embodiment, UE1 sends a request message to the network, and the core network allocates UE1 and UE2 in the MUSIM UE to the same paging subgroup.

[0207] The first request message sent by UE1 to the network includes the requested UE identifier for determining the paging location, which is used to calculate the paging location or paging group, such as the lower 13 bits or 15 bits of the 5G-S-TMSI.

[0208] UE1 receives the paging configuration sent by the network, which includes an alternative UE identifier for calculating the paging position or paging group.
