Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular to a signal indication information carrying method, communication equipment, device and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] Network Energy Saving (NES) is playing a positive role in improving environmental sustainability, reducing negative environmental impacts and lowering operating costs. Network energy saving helps reduce the energy consumption burden of communication operators and user equipment (UE), and can effectively reduce pollution events that have a harmful impact on the environment, such as greenhouse gas emissions. At present, due to the widespread use of 5G networks in various industries and regions, users' demand for high data rate (such as XR) services and applications is increasing, and business services and applications have significantly increased their requirements for transmission rate, reliability and security. To meet these needs, communication operators have introduced more antennas, larger bandwidths and more frequency bands, resulting in a denser 5G network structure. Therefore, while improving the performance of 5G networks, operators also need to propose new solutions to improve network energy efficiency and reduce the negative impact of 5G networks on the environment.

[0003] For intra-band carrier aggregation (intra-band CA) scenarios, as long as the user equipment supports this function, time and frequency synchronization can be performed through the primary cell (PCell) and the secondary cell (SCell) without the need for the SSB broadcast by the secondary cell. However, in the inter-band carrier aggregation (inter-band CA) scenario, due to the large TA error between the primary and secondary cells, it will be more difficult to use the primary cell notification method to assist the user equipment in synchronizing with the secondary cell, so the application of the SSB-less secondary cell solution also faces greater challenges. In order to maintain a balance between the service quality of the user equipment and the energy saving gain of the base station, a state switching solution needs to be designed so that the secondary cell can dynamically adjust the SSB transmission period.

[0004] The on-demand SSB solution is a solution that can effectively reduce the activation time of the secondary cell (to ensure the service quality of the user equipment) and ensure the energy saving gain of the base station (to ensure the accuracy of switching). In the 5G scenario where the on-demand SSB solution is applied, the secondary cell in a fully dormant state does not need to send SSB or sends SSB at a lower frequency. It only sends on-demand SSB when there is a need. The user equipment can perform time-frequency synchronization, delay adjustment and other operations with the secondary cell through the on-demand SSB.

[0005] Since the secondary cell only sends on-demand synchronization signal blocks when there is a need (the need may be indicated by the primary cell or the user equipment), if the on-demand synchronization signal blocks are sent a fixed number of times, the user equipment may miss the on-demand synchronization signal blocks and lose the synchronization opportunity, which will increase the secondary cell activation time of the user equipment or even lose the activation opportunity.

[0006] The above contents are only used to assist in understanding the technical solution of the present invention and do not constitute an admission that the above contents are prior art. Summary of the invention

[0007] The main purpose of this application is to design an on-demand synchronization signal block activation / deactivation indication information carrying scheme based on the media access control element. Since there is no standardized carrier related to the on-demand synchronization signal block activation / deactivation indication information for carrier aggregation scenarios in the current version of the 3GPP standard, considering the transmission requirements of SCell activation information and the characteristics of the media access control element, this application designs a new media access control element to simultaneously carry the activation / deactivation indication information of the secondary cell and the on-demand synchronization signal block.

[0082] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the technical solutions of the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0083] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0084] The main solution of the embodiment of the present application is: the network device carries the signal indication information into the signal indication information carrier, and the signal indication information includes the indication information of the on-demand synchronization signal block sent by the first cell to the user equipment; the signal indication information carrier includes at least one of the following information elements: a first information element for carrying the first indication information of activation and deactivation of the on-demand synchronization signal block; a second information element for carrying the transmission number information of the on-demand synchronization signal block; a third information element for carrying the transmission time window information of the on-demand synchronization signal block; a fourth information element for carrying the configuration information index of the on-demand synchronization signal block; a fifth information element for carrying the second indication information, and the second indication information is the indication information of activation and deactivation of the second cell providing service for the user equipment.

[0085] In this embodiment, for the convenience of description, the following description is made with the network device as the execution subject.

[0086] The present application provides a solution, by designing a signal indication information carrier, the signal indication information is carried in the signal indication information carrier, the signal indication information includes the indication information of the on-demand synchronization signal block sent by the first cell to the user equipment; the signal indication information carrier includes at least one of the following information elements: a first information element for carrying the first indication information of activation and deactivation of the on-demand synchronization signal block; a second information element for carrying the transmission number information of the on-demand synchronization signal block; a third information element for carrying the transmission time window information of the on-demand synchronization signal block; a fourth information element for carrying the configuration information index of the on-demand synchronization signal block; a fifth information element for carrying the second indication information, the second indication information is the indication information of activation and deactivation of the second cell providing service for the user equipment, which can effectively improve the efficiency of the user equipment in executing the on-demand synchronization signal block related processes.

[0087] It should be noted that the execution subject of this embodiment can be a computing service device with data processing, network communication and program running functions, such as a tablet computer, a personal computer, a mobile phone, etc., or an electronic device, a network device, etc. that can realize the above functions. The following takes a network device as an example to illustrate this embodiment and the following embodiments.

[0088] The application scenarios involved in the embodiments disclosed in this application include but are not limited to: the activation process of the secondary cell. Based on the perspective of the user equipment, the secondary cell activation process can be divided into several stages in chronological order, including secondary cell configuration, secondary cell activation selection, secondary cell activation, and secondary cell activation completion. According to the functional requirements of each stage and the interaction process between the user equipment and the base station, the key nodes can be further extracted and the use scenarios of the signal indication information carrier can be divided (refer to Figure 1 ):

[0089] Scenario 1: Before the user equipment receives the secondary cell configuration information;

[0090] Scenario 2: From the time when the user equipment receives the secondary cell configuration information to the time when the user equipment receives the secondary cell activation instruction;

[0091] Scenario 2A: When the user equipment receives a secondary cell activation instruction;

[0092] Scenario 3: When the user equipment receives the secondary cell activation instruction;

[0093] Scenario 3A: from when the user equipment receives the secondary cell activation instruction to before the user equipment completes the secondary cell activation process (sends the measurement report);

[0094] Scenario 3B: After the user equipment completes the secondary cell activation process.

[0095] In scenario 2, the user equipment can perform L1 / L3 measurement and reporting based on the on-demand synchronization signal block to avoid blind selection of the secondary cell; the user equipment can perform time-frequency synchronization, ADC calibration and other operations based on the on-demand synchronization signal block to quickly make the secondary cell a known secondary cell.

[0096] In scenario 2A, the user equipment can perform RRM (Radio Resource Management) measurement, CSI (Channel State Information) measurement, time-frequency synchronization, cell search and other operations based on the on-demand synchronization signal block to accelerate the secondary cell activation process.

[0097] Similar to Scenario 2A, in Scenario 3, if the configuration information index of the on-demand synchronization signal block has been sent in Scenario 2A, it does not need to be sent repeatedly in this scenario.

[0098] In scenario 3A, the on-demand synchronization signal block can be used to maintain a balance between the synchronization / measurement performance of the user equipment and the energy efficiency of the base station network; that is, the activated secondary cell may not send or send continuous synchronization signal blocks at a lower frequency. When there is a need for synchronization and measurement services for the user equipment, the on-demand synchronization signal block may be sent first to provide the corresponding service for the user equipment.

[0099] Since there is no definition of standardized carriers (such as RRC signaling, media access control elements, DCI, etc.) related to on-demand synchronization signal fast activation / deactivation indication information and on-demand synchronization signal fast configuration information for carrier aggregation scenarios in the current version of the 3GPP standard (3GPP Release 18), it is necessary to design a carrier different from the existing signal indication information carrier to carry the on-demand synchronization signal fast activation / deactivation indication information, so that the carrier carries the on-demand synchronization signal fast activation / deactivation indication information, including but not limited to the on-demand synchronization signal fast activation state, the on-demand synchronization signal fast transmission start time domain position, the on-demand synchronization signal fast transmission number, etc. Since the media access control element has the advantages of low signaling overhead, low transmission processing delay and higher flexibility compared to RRC signaling and DCI, considering that the on-demand synchronization signal fast activation / deactivation indication information has less content and higher latency requirements than the other configuration information of the on-demand synchronization signal fast, this application will briefly introduce the design scheme of using the media access control element to carry the on-demand synchronization signal fast activation / deactivation indication information.

[0100] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a signal indication information carrying method, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flow chart of the first embodiment of the signal indication information carrying method of the present application.

[0101] In this embodiment, the signal indication information carrying method includes step S10:

[0102] Step S10, carrying the signal indication information into a signal indication information carrier, wherein the signal indication information includes indication information of an on-demand synchronization signal block sent by the first cell to the user equipment;

[0103] The signal indication information carrier includes at least one of the following information elements:

[0104] A first information element used to carry first indication information of activation and deactivation of the on-demand synchronization signal block;

[0105] A second information element used to carry information about the number of transmissions of the on-demand synchronization signal block;

[0106] A third information element for carrying transmission time window information of the on-demand synchronization signal block;

[0107] A fourth information element for carrying a configuration information index of the on-demand synchronization signal block;

[0108] A fifth information element is used to carry second indication information, where the second indication information is indication information of activation and deactivation of a second cell providing service for the user equipment.

[0109] It should be noted that the signal indication information carrier is a data structure or communication entity used to transmit and carry specific signal indication information. It acts as a "container" for information in the communication system and can accurately transmit the indication information of the on-demand synchronization signal block sent by the first cell to the user equipment to the user equipment. Furthermore, the signal indication information carrier can also be a standard information carrier after the information carrier is standardized. Among them, standardization can be achieved by formulating unified technical specifications and standards to ensure the accuracy and consistency of information during collection, processing, storage and transmission, which can improve information processing efficiency, enhance information transparency and traceability, optimize resource allocation and promote the development of information technology.

[0110] It should be noted that the signal in the signal indication information is an on-demand synchronization signal block. The indication information is used to indicate to the user equipment the on-demand synchronization signal block to be sent by the second cell (secondary cell, SCell), so that the user equipment stores the information and adjusts the parameters required when receiving the on-demand synchronization signal block according to the information, so that the user equipment can smoothly synchronize the information of the on-demand synchronization signal block of the secondary cell.

[0111] It should be noted that the on-demand synchronization signal block is a signal block used to achieve synchronization between user equipment and cells in a communication system. It can be dynamically sent according to the needs of the user equipment, and can flexibly adapt to the synchronization needs of different user equipment in different scenarios, thereby improving the resource utilization efficiency and synchronization performance of the communication system. The on-demand synchronization signal block can include a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS) and a physical broadcast channel.

[0112] It should be noted that the first cell may be a primary cell in a network device, and the second cell may be a secondary cell in a network device, wherein the network device may be a base station.

[0113] It should be noted that the first indication information is information used to indicate the activation and deactivation status of the on-demand synchronization signal block.

[0114] It can be understood that when the first indication information indicates the activation of the on-demand synchronization signal block, it means that the signal block is being or is about to be transmitted, and the user equipment needs to be prepared to receive it; conversely, if the first indication information indicates deactivation, it means that the signal block is not transmitted, and the user equipment does not need to perform related operations, thereby helping the user equipment to reasonably arrange resources and reduce unnecessary energy consumption and processing overhead.

[0115] It should be noted that the transmission number information is information indicating the actual number of transmissions of the on-demand synchronization signal block by the second cell to the user equipment.

[0116] It can be understood that through the transmission number information, the user equipment can understand the number of times the on-demand synchronization signal block needs to be received, and re-request transmission based on the transmission number and whether it is successfully received, so as to improve the transmission reliability of the synchronization signal and ensure that the user equipment can accurately obtain the synchronization information.

[0117] It should be noted that the transmission time window information is information indicating the time interval between the moment when the on-demand synchronization signal block starts transmission and the moment when the transmission ends.

[0118] It can be understood that providing the user equipment with a specific time range for on-demand synchronization signal block transmission enables the user equipment to effectively receive and process signals within a predetermined time window, avoiding reception failure or resource waste due to time deviation, and enhancing the timing management capability of the communication system.

[0119] It should be noted that the configuration information index is the second cell of the on-demand synchronization signal block index, and the index value of the configuration information of the on-demand synchronization signal block that has been activated or to be activated.

[0120] It can be understood that corresponding to the configuration parameters of the on-demand synchronization signal block, such as signal format and transmission parameters, through the configuration information index, the user equipment can quickly find and obtain the corresponding configuration information, realize the correct parsing and processing of the on-demand synchronization signal block, and improve the configuration flexibility and adaptability of the communication system.

[0121] It should be noted that the second indication information is information used to indicate the activation and deactivation status of the second cell providing services to the user equipment. The second indication information is not only related to the operating status of the second cell itself, but also indirectly affects the transmission of on-demand synchronization signal blocks in the second cell and the synchronization operation of the user equipment.

[0122] In a specific implementation, if the second cell is activated, its corresponding on-demand synchronization signal block may be in an activated state, and the user equipment needs to pay attention to and receive relevant signals; if the second cell is not activated, the relevant signal block will not be transmitted, and the user equipment can ignore it, thereby achieving effective management of the service status of multiple cells and reasonable allocation of user equipment resources.

[0123] Optionally, the signal indicates that the information carrier is a medium access control element.

[0124] Optionally, the media access control element is a newly designed media access control element to carry the indication information of the on-demand synchronization signal block, or an existing access control element is modified to obtain an access control element that can carry the on-demand synchronization signal block.

[0125] This embodiment provides a method for carrying signal indication information. In order for the network device to synchronize the secondary cell information to the terminal device using the on-demand synchronization signal block technology, it is necessary to design a new standardized information carrier to set a field in the standardized carrier to carry the information of the on-demand synchronization signal block, so that the network terminal can transmit the standardized carrier including at least the indication field of the on-demand synchronization signal block to the terminal device, so that the terminal device can obtain the indication information of the on-demand synchronization signal block according to the standardized carrier, and then obtain the information of the secondary cell in the network device. And because the synchronization signal block can synchronize the information of the network device with the terminal device in any carrier scenario, and the on-demand synchronization signal block can also ensure that the synchronization signal block is sent according to demand, the sending of the synchronization signal block is reduced to improve the energy saving efficiency of the secondary cell.

[0126] Based on the first embodiment of the present application, in the second embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the above-mentioned embodiment 1 can refer to the above introduction, and will not be repeated later. Figure 3 , the signal indication information carrier includes an application scenario of first indication information of activation and deactivation of an on-demand synchronization signal block, and the signal indication information carrying method includes:

[0127] Carrying the signal indication information into a signal indication information carrier, the signal indication information including indication information of an on-demand synchronization signal block sent by the first cell to the user equipment;

[0128] The signal indication information is used to instruct the user equipment to store:

[0129] The first indication information of activation and deactivation of the on-demand synchronization signal block.

[0130] Optionally, the first indication information is used to indicate one of the following:

[0131] If the first indication information indicates that the on-demand synchronization signal block is activated, determining that the on-demand synchronization signal block is being transmitted and / or is about to be transmitted;

[0132] If the first indication information indicates that the on-demand synchronization signal block is deactivated, it is determined that the on-demand synchronization signal block is not transmitted.

[0133] It can be understood that by introducing the first indication information, the activation and deactivation status of each on-demand synchronization signal block can be clearly indicated. This precise indication method enables the user equipment to accurately understand the transmission status of the synchronization signal, avoiding ambiguity or misjudgment that may occur in the management of the synchronization signal. For example, in a multi-cell environment, the user equipment can accurately identify the status of the on-demand synchronization signal block of each second cell based on the first indication information, thereby achieving accurate management and control of synchronization signals of multiple cells, and improving the overall accuracy of synchronization signal management of the communication system.

[0134] Optionally, the signal indication information carrier includes at least one first information element, and the first information element is used to carry the first indication information.

[0135] It should be noted that the first information element is the basic component element used to carry the first indication information in the signal indication information carrier. In the signal indication information carrier, the number of first information elements can be flexibly set according to actual needs to meet the requirements for information transmission volume in different scenarios.

[0136] Optionally, the number of the first information elements is 7 or 31.

[0137] It should be noted that, in the information carrier, 7 information elements and one reserved element (R) are usually combined into an octet, and the octet is currently commonly used as the basic unit for transmission in the communication system. Therefore, the number of the first information element can be 7, and it can also be any other number to meet special transmission requirements.

[0138] It can be understood that by flexibly designing the number of first information elements, a variety of optional options are provided, so that the signal indication information carrier can be adjusted and optimized accordingly according to the scale and needs of different communication systems. This flexible design can not only meet the development needs of the current communication system, but also provide convenience for future system expansion and upgrades.

[0139] In a specific implementation, in a smaller-scale communication system, only a few first information elements may be required to meet the synchronization indication requirements. In this case, the number of first information elements can be selected as 7; in a larger-scale or more complex communication system, more first information elements may be required to provide more detailed synchronization indication information. In this case, the number of first information elements can be selected as 31, or other numbers can be determined based on actual needs.

[0140] Optionally, the first information element includes:

[0141] A first information element name and a first information element value;

[0142] The first information element name includes a first index, the first index corresponds to a second cell index serving the user equipment, and the number of the second cell is at least one;

[0143] The first information element value occupies at least one data bit;

[0144] If the first information element value is a first preset value, it indicates that the on-demand synchronization signal block of the second cell indicated by the first index is deactivated;

[0145] If the first information element value is a second preset value, it indicates that the on-demand synchronization signal block of the second cell indicated by the first index is activated.

[0146] It should be noted that the first information element name is a component of the first information element and is used to name and identify the first information element. The first information element name includes a first index, and the first index corresponds to the second cell index providing services for the user equipment.

[0147] It can be understood that, through the index correspondence, the first information element name can clearly indicate which second cell's on-demand synchronization signal block the first indication information it carries is for, so that the signal indication information carrier can simultaneously support the synchronization indications of multiple second cells, thereby improving the management capability and flexibility of the on-demand synchronization signal block related processes of multiple cells in the communication system.

[0148] It is understandable that the first information element value characterizes the activation state of the on-demand synchronization signal block through a preset value, providing a simple and intuitive basis for judgment for the user equipment. The user equipment does not need to perform complex parsing and judgment operations, but only needs to quickly and accurately understand the state of the on-demand synchronization signal block according to the preset value of the first information element value, and take corresponding operations accordingly, such as starting the receiving process, entering the sleep state, etc. This simplified operation process not only improves the response speed of the user equipment, but also reduces the processing complexity and energy consumption of the user equipment, which is conducive to improving the overall performance of the communication system and user experience.

[0149] In a specific implementation, when a user device is in the coverage of multiple second cells at the same time, the activation status of the on-demand synchronization signal block of each second cell can be clearly distinguished through the first index in the first information element name, thereby achieving precise management and control of the synchronization status of multiple cells.

[0150] It should be noted that the first information element value is the part of the first information element used to actually carry the specific value of the first indication information, and occupies at least one data bit (octet) to ensure that different states of the first indication information can be accurately represented.

[0151] In the specific implementation, refer to Figure 3 , the signal indicates that the information carrier contains 7 first information elements (ODi) and one reserved element (R), where OD i The i in represents the first index, that is, the second cell (secondary cell) numbered i in the secondary cell to which the user equipment is connected. i When OD is set to 1 (the second preset value), the on-demand synchronization signal block of the second cell indicated by the first index is activated; i When it is set to 0 (the first preset value), it indicates that the on-demand synchronization signal block of the second cell indicated by the first index is deactivated. R is a reserved element and is set to 0.

[0152] In an embodiment of the present application, by accurately indicating the activation and deactivation status of the on-demand synchronization signal block, the user device can reasonably arrange its own resources to avoid unnecessary energy consumption and processing overhead when it is not necessary to receive the synchronization signal. For example, when the first indication information indicates that the on-demand synchronization signal block is deactivated, the user device can enter a low-power mode to save power; and when the on-demand synchronization signal block is activated, the user device can adjust resources in time to ensure that the synchronization signal can be received smoothly. In addition, the flexible design of the signal indication information carrier also enables the communication system to dynamically adjust the transmission strategy of the synchronization signal according to actual needs, further optimize resource allocation, improve the resource utilization efficiency of the communication system, and reduce operating costs.

[0153] Based on the first and second embodiments of the present application, in the third embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the above embodiments can be referred to the above introduction, and will not be described in detail later. Figure 4 , the signal indication information carrier includes the application scenario of the first indication information and the transmission number information, and the signal indication information carrying method includes:

[0154] Carrying the signal indication information into a signal indication information carrier, the signal indication information including indication information of an on-demand synchronization signal block sent by the first cell to the user equipment;

[0155] The signal indication information is used to instruct the user equipment to store:

[0156] First indication information of activation and deactivation of the on-demand synchronization signal block;

[0157] and,

[0158] The transmission number information of the on-demand synchronization signal block.

[0159] Optionally, the signal indication information carrier includes at least one second information element, and the second information element is used to carry the transmission number information;

[0160] The transmission number information is used to indicate the number of times the second cell actually transmits the on-demand synchronization signal block.

[0161] It should be noted that the second information element is a component element in the signal indication information carrier used to carry the transmission number information, and can encapsulate and carry the transmission number information in a resolvable and transmittable manner.

[0162] It is understandable that, through the transmission number information, the user equipment can accurately understand the transmission status of the on-demand synchronization signal block. For example, if the transmission number information shows that the signal block is not successfully transmitted, the user equipment can request retransmission in time; and the transmission number information can also provide the user equipment with a clear reception time range, so that it can concentrate resources for signal reception within a predetermined time, avoiding reception failures caused by time deviations.

[0163] Optionally, the number of the second information element is 1.

[0164] It should be noted that in order to meet special transmission requirements, other numbers can also be used, that is, in the signal indication information carrier, the number of second information elements can be flexibly set according to actual needs to meet the requirements for information transmission volume in different scenarios. Among them, the length of a second information element occupies 6 data elements (bits).

[0165] Optionally, the second information element includes:

[0166] Second information element name and second information element value;

[0167] The second information element value occupies at least one data bit;

[0168] The second information element value is used to indicate the actual number of transmissions of the on-demand synchronization signal block;

[0169] If the value of the second information element is a first preset value, it indicates that the actual number of transmissions of the on-demand synchronization signal block is not given.

[0170] It should be noted that the second information element name is a component of the second information element, which is used to name and identify the second information element so that the second information element has clear recognition in the signal indication information carrier, which is convenient for the user equipment to parse and process.

[0171] It can be understood that, through the design of the second information element value, the user equipment can determine the validity of the transmission number information, further improving the accuracy of parsing and processing of on-demand synchronization signal blocks, thereby effectively enhancing the reliability of synchronization signal transmission, reducing the probability of synchronization failure, and ensuring the stable operation of the communication system.

[0172] It can be understood that by flexibly designing the number and structure of the second information elements, when the network system is expanded or upgraded, it is only necessary to update and expand the relevant quantity and information content without making large-scale changes to the structure of the entire signal indication information carrier. At the same time, it is also convenient to independently maintain and manage each component in the communication system, reducing the maintenance cost and complexity of the system, which is beneficial to the long-term stable operation and sustainable development of the communication system, and facilitates the addition of new cells and user equipment.

[0173] In a specific implementation, N can be used to indicate the number of transmissions of the on-demand synchronization signal block; OD i Indicates the activation status of the on-demand synchronization signal block of the secondary cell corresponding to sequence number i, OD i Arrange in ascending order according to the first index and correspond to the higher-level parameter (number in the secondary cell to which the user equipment is connected). Figure 4 , the signal indicates that the information carrier contains two octets, one of which includes 7 first information elements (OD i ) and a reserved element (R), where OD iThe i in the octet represents the first index, that is, the second cell (secondary cell) numbered i in the secondary cell to which the user equipment is connected; the second octet group includes a second information element (N) and two reserved elements (R). If the value of the second information element in N is set to 0, it means that the number of transmissions of the on-demand synchronization signal block is not given; when OD i When OD is set to 1 (the second preset value), the on-demand synchronization signal block of the second cell indicated by the first index is activated; i When it is set to 0 (the first preset value), it indicates that the on-demand synchronization signal block of the second cell indicated by the first index is deactivated. R is a reserved element and is set to 0.

[0174] In a specific implementation, if the value of the second information element in N is set to 0, the user equipment may deploy policies and resources according to the default number of times (20).

[0175] In the embodiment of the present application, by designing a special signal indication information carrier, the first indication information and the transmission number information of the activation and deactivation of the on-demand synchronization signal block are integrated and transmitted. Since the first indication information and the transmission number information are directly related to whether the user equipment can accurately and timely obtain the synchronization signal and complete the synchronization operation, therefore, by carrying the first indication information and the transmission number information of the activation and deactivation of the on-demand synchronization signal block through the signal indication information carrier, the user equipment can clearly understand the transmission status and transmission number of the on-demand synchronization signal block, so as to make reasonable operation decisions, such as adjusting the receiving strategy, optimizing resource allocation, etc., to improve the synchronization success rate and the overall performance of the communication system. In addition, the second information element in the signal indication information carrier is designed in detail, so that the second information element is used to carry the transmission number information, and the number of the second information elements can be flexibly set according to actual needs, and each second information element includes two parts: the second information element name and the second information element value, wherein the second information element name is used to identify the specific content corresponding to the information element, and the second information element value is used to actually carry the specific value of the transmission number information. Through this design, the signal indication information carrier can transmit the transmission number information to the user equipment in a structured and easy-to-parse manner, further improving the efficiency and reliability of information transmission.

[0176] Based on the above embodiments of the present application, in the fourth embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the above embodiments can be referred to the above introduction, and will not be described in detail later. Figure 5 , the signal indication information carrier includes the application scenario of the first indication information and the transmission time window information, and the signal indication information carrying method includes:

[0177] Carrying the signal indication information into a signal indication information carrier, the signal indication information including indication information of an on-demand synchronization signal block sent by the first cell to the user equipment;

[0178] The signal indication information is used to instruct the user equipment to store:

[0179] First indication information of activation and deactivation of the on-demand synchronization signal block;

[0180] and,

[0181] The transmission time window information of the on-demand synchronization signal block.

[0182] Optionally, the transmission time window information is used to indicate a time interval between a moment when the on-demand synchronization signal block starts to be transmitted and a moment when the on-demand synchronization signal block ends to be transmitted;

[0183] The mathematical unit of the time interval is a time slot.

[0184] It can be understood that by transmitting time window information, the user equipment can accurately understand the transmission time interval of the on-demand synchronization signal block, so that the user equipment can concentrate resources for signal reception within the predetermined time interval and avoid reception failure due to time deviation.

[0185] Optionally, the signal indication information carrier includes at least one third information element, and the third information element is used to carry the transmission time window information.

[0186] It should be noted that the third information element is a basic component element used to carry the transmission time window information in the signal indication information carrier, and can encapsulate and carry the transmission time window information in a parsable and transmittable manner.

[0187] Optionally, the number of the third information element is 1.

[0188] That is, in the signal indication information carrier, the number of the third information elements can be flexibly set according to actual needs to meet the requirements of information transmission volume in different scenarios. Among them, the length of one third information element occupies 6 data elements (bits).

[0189] It should be noted that the number of third information elements can be 1 or other number other than 1. By flexibly designing the number of fourth units, the signal indication information carrier can be adjusted and optimized accordingly according to the scale of different communication systems, the number of user devices and the complexity of synchronization requirements.

[0190] Optionally, a third information element name and a third information element value;

[0191] The third information element value occupies at least one data bit;

[0192] The third information element value is used to indicate the time interval between the time when the on-demand synchronization signal block starts to be transmitted and the time when the on-demand synchronization signal block ends to be transmitted;

[0193] If the value of the third information element is the first preset value, the time interval representing the on-demand synchronization signal block is not given.

[0194] In a specific implementation, D can be used to indicate the transmission time window of the on-demand synchronization signal block; OD i Indicates the activation status of the on-demand synchronization signal block of the secondary cell corresponding to sequence number i. i Arrange in ascending order according to the first index and correspond to the higher-level parameter (number in the secondary cell to which the user equipment is connected). Figure 5 , the signal indicates that the information carrier contains two octets, one of which includes 7 first information elements (OD i ) and a reserved element (R), where OD i The i in the octet represents the first index, that is, the second cell (secondary cell) numbered i in the secondary cell to which the user equipment is connected; the second octet group includes a third information element (D) and two reserved elements (R). If D is set to 0, it means that the transmission time window of the on-demand synchronization signal block is not given; when OD i When OD is set to 1 (the second preset value), the on-demand synchronization signal block of the second cell indicated by the first index is activated; i When it is set to 0 (the first preset value), it indicates that the on-demand synchronization signal block of the second cell indicated by the first index is deactivated. R is a reserved element and is set to 0.

[0195] In the embodiment of the present application, by designing a special signal indication information carrier, the first indication information and transmission time window information of the activation and deactivation of the on-demand synchronization signal block are integrated and transmitted. By carrying the first indication information and transmission time window information of the activation and deactivation of the on-demand synchronization signal block by the signal indication information carrier, the user equipment can clearly understand the transmission status and time window of the on-demand synchronization signal block, so as to make reasonable operation decisions, such as adjusting the receiving strategy, optimizing resource allocation, etc., to improve the synchronization success rate and the overall performance of the communication system. And the third information element in the signal indication information carrier includes two parts: the third information element name and the third information element value, wherein the third information element name is used to identify the specific content corresponding to the information element, and the third information element value is used to actually carry the specific value of the transmission time window information, so that the signal indication information carrier can pass the transmission time window information to the user equipment in a structured and easy-to-parse manner, further improving the efficiency and reliability of information transmission.

[0196] Based on the above embodiments of the present application, in the fifth embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the above embodiments can be referred to the above introduction, and will not be described in detail later. Figure 6 , the signal indication information carrier includes an application scenario of the first indication information and the configuration information index, and the signal indication information carrying method includes:

[0197] Carrying the signal indication information into a signal indication information carrier, the signal indication information including indication information of an on-demand synchronization signal block sent by the first cell to the user equipment;

[0198] The signal indication information is used to instruct the user equipment to store:

[0199] First indication information of activation and deactivation of the on-demand synchronization signal block;

[0200] and,

[0201] The configuration information index of the on-demand synchronization signal block.

[0202] Optionally, the signal indication information carrier includes at least one fourth information element, and the fourth information element is used to carry the configuration information index, and the configuration information index is used to indicate the configuration information of the on-demand synchronization signal block that has been activated or to be activated.

[0203] It can be understood that, through the carrying of the signal indication information carrier, the user equipment can clearly understand which on-demand synchronization signal blocks will be transmitted, and determine the configuration information of the on-demand synchronization signal blocks to be transmitted, so as to reasonably adjust the receiving strategy and the configuration resources required to parse the on-demand synchronization signal blocks according to the transmission status (activated or deactivated) and configuration information of the on-demand synchronization signal blocks, so as to improve the synchronization success rate and the overall performance of the communication system.

[0204] Optionally, the number of the fourth information elements is 7 or 31.

[0205] That is, in the signal indication information carrier, the number of the fourth information elements can be flexibly set according to actual needs to meet the requirements of information transmission volume in different scenarios. Among them, the length of one fourth information element occupies 7 data elements (bits).

[0206] Optionally, the number of the fourth information elements is the same as the number of the first information elements carrying the first indication information.

[0207] Optionally, the fourth information element includes:

[0208] a fourth information element name and a fourth information element value;

[0209] The fourth information element name includes a second index, where the second index corresponds to a second cell index serving the user equipment;

[0210] The fourth information element value occupies at least one data bit;

[0211] The fourth information element value represents the configuration information index of the on-demand synchronization signal block of the second cell indicated by the second index;

[0212] If the value of the fourth information element is the first preset value, the configuration information index representing the on-demand synchronization signal block is not given.

[0213] It should be noted that the fourth information element name is a component of the fourth information element, which is used to name and identify the fourth information element. The fourth information element name includes a second index, and the second index corresponds to the second cell index providing services to the user equipment, so that the fourth information element can clearly indicate which second cell's on-demand synchronization signal block the configuration information index it carries is for. The fourth information element value is the part of the fourth information element that actually carries the specific value of the configuration information index. It occupies at least one data bit (octet) to ensure that different states of the configuration information index can be accurately represented.

[0214] It can be understood that by using the signal indication information carrier to carry the transmission status of the on-demand synchronization signal block and the configuration information index, the on-demand synchronization signal block can be flexibly activated or deactivated according to the needs of the user equipment to achieve on-demand transmission, and the corresponding parsing resources can be adjusted in a targeted manner for the on-demand synchronization signal block that needs to be parsed according to the configuration information index to achieve reasonable allocation of resources. After receiving the on-demand synchronization signal block, the on-demand synchronization signal block can be parsed in real time to improve the synchronization effect.

[0215] In the specific implementation, ODSSB ID can be used n Indicates the configuration information index of the on-demand synchronization signal block that should be activated corresponding to sequence number n; OD i Indicates the activation status of the on-demand synchronization signal block of the secondary cell corresponding to sequence number i. i Arrange in ascending order according to the first index and correspond to the higher-level parameter (number in the secondary cell to which the user equipment is connected). Figure 6 , a signal indicates that the information carrier contains at least two octets, one of which includes seven first information elements (OD i ) and a reserved element (R), where OD i The i in the figure represents the first index, that is, the second cell (secondary cell) numbered i in the secondary cell to which the user equipment is connected; each of the remaining octet groups includes at least one fourth information element (ODSSB ID n ). If ODSSB ID n is set to 0, indicating that the on-demand synchronization signal block of the second cell with ID n is deactivated; when ODSSB ID n When it is set to a non-zero value, it indicates the configuration information of the on-demand synchronization signal block corresponding to the high-level parameter on-demand synchronization signal block configuration index (the on-demand synchronization signal block configuration information that should be activated). R is a reserved element and is set to 0.

[0216] Based on the above embodiments of the present application, in the sixth embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the above embodiments can be referred to the above introduction, and will not be described in detail later. Figure 7 , the signal indication information carrier includes the application scenario of the first indication information, the transmission number information and the configuration information index, and the signal indication information carrying method includes:

[0217] Carrying the signal indication information into a signal indication information carrier, the signal indication information including indication information of an on-demand synchronization signal block sent by the first cell to the user equipment;

[0218] The signal indication information is used to instruct the user equipment to store:

[0219] First indication information of activation and deactivation of the on-demand synchronization signal block;

[0220] and,

[0221] Information on the number of transmissions of the on-demand synchronization signal block;

[0222] and,

[0223] The configuration information index of the on-demand synchronization signal block.

[0224] In a specific implementation, N can be used to indicate the number of transmissions of the on-demand synchronization signal block; OD i Indicates the activation status of the on-demand synchronization signal block of the secondary cell corresponding to sequence number i; and uses ODSSB ID n Indicates the configuration information index of the on-demand synchronization signal block that should be activated for the corresponding sequence number n, OD i Arrange in ascending order according to the first index and correspond to the high-level parameters, refer to Figure 7 , a signal indicates that the information carrier contains at least two octets, one of which includes seven first information elements (OD i ) and a reserved element (R), OD i The i in the figure represents the first index, that is, the second cell (secondary cell) numbered i in the secondary cell to which the user equipment is connected; the second octet group includes a second information element (N) and two reserved elements (R), and each of the remaining octet groups includes at least one fourth information element. If the value of the second information element in N is set to 0, it means that the number of transmissions of the on-demand synchronization signal block is not given. When OD i When OD is set to 1 (the second preset value), the on-demand synchronization signal block of the second cell indicated by the first index is activated; i When it is set to 0 (the first preset value), the on-demand synchronization signal block of the second cell indicated by the first index is deactivated; if ODSSB ID n is set to 0, indicating that the on-demand synchronization signal block of the second cell with ID n is deactivated; when ODSSB ID n When set to a non-zero value, it indicates the configuration information of the on-demand synchronization signal block corresponding to the high-level parameter on-demand synchronization signal block configuration index. R is a reserved element and is set to 0.

[0225] In this embodiment, the signal indication information carrier not only carries the transmission status of the on-demand synchronization signal block, but also carries the transmission frequency information and the configuration information index. By accurately indicating the activation and deactivation status of the on-demand synchronization signal block, the user equipment can reasonably arrange its own resources to avoid unnecessary energy consumption and processing overhead when there is no need to receive the synchronization signal. The transmission frequency information provides the user equipment with a clear receiving time range, so that it can concentrate resources for signal reception within a predetermined time, avoiding reception failure caused by time deviation, and further adjusting the corresponding parsing resources for the on-demand synchronization signal block that needs to be parsed according to the configuration information index through the configuration information index, thereby realizing reasonable allocation of resources and realizing that after receiving the on-demand synchronization signal block, the on-demand synchronization signal block can be parsed in real time to improve the synchronization effect.

[0226] Based on the above embodiments of the present application, in the seventh embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the above embodiments can be referred to the above introduction, and will not be described in detail later. Figure 8 , the signal indication information carrier includes an application scenario of the second indication information, and the signal indication information carrying method includes:

[0227] Carrying the signal indication information into a signal indication information carrier, the signal indication information including indication information of an on-demand synchronization signal block sent by the first cell to the user equipment;

[0228] The signal indication information is used to instruct the user equipment to store:

[0229] Second indication information of activation and deactivation of a second cell providing service for the user equipment.

[0230] Optionally, the signal indication information carrier includes at least one fifth information element, and the fifth information element is used to carry the second indication information, and the second indication information is used to indicate the activation and deactivation status of the second cell.

[0231] Optionally, the number of the fifth information elements is 7 or 31.

[0232] It can be understood that, in the information carrier, 7 information elements and one reserved element (R) are usually combined into an octet, and currently, octet is usually used as the basic unit for transmission in the media access control element. An octet contains 8 information elements, so the number of the fifth information element can be 7, and it can also be the remaining number to meet special transmission requirements.

[0233] Optionally, the fifth information element includes:

[0234] a fifth information element name and a fifth information element value;

[0235] The fifth information element name includes a third index, and the third index corresponds to a second cell index providing service for the user equipment;

[0236] The fifth information element value occupies at least one data bit;

[0237] If the fifth information element value is a first preset value, it indicates that the second cell indicated by the third index is deactivated;

[0238] If the value of the fifth information element is a second preset value, it indicates that the second cell indicated by the third index is activated.

[0239] It should be noted that the fifth information element name is a component of the fifth information element, and is used to name and identify the fifth information element. The fifth information element name includes the third index. The fifth information element value is a part of the fifth information element that is used to actually carry the specific numerical value of the second indication information, and occupies at least one data bit to ensure that the different states of each second cell can be accurately represented.

[0240] It can be understood that since the third index corresponds to the second cell index providing services to the user equipment, the fifth information element can clearly indicate which second cell the second indication information it carries is for. Therefore, the process of the user equipment identifying the second cell is reduced, the time error is reduced, and the efficiency of executing the on-demand synchronization signal block related processes to the user equipment is improved.

[0241] Optionally, the second indication information is used to indicate the activation and deactivation status of the second cell and includes:

[0242] If the second indication information indicates that the second cell is activated, determining that the on-demand synchronization signal block between the second cell and the second cell is activated;

[0243] If the second indication information indicates that the second cell is not activated, it is determined that the on-demand synchronization signal block between the second cell and the second cell is not activated.

[0244] It can be understood that when the signal indication information carrier only contains the second indication information for activation and deactivation of the second cell provided by the user equipment, 6 data elements in an octet are used to carry the second indication information, and one data element is used to carry the activation and deactivation information in the on-demand synchronization information block of each second cell in the octet.

[0245] In the specific implementation, refer to Figure 8 If there is a second cell (secondary cell) configured for the access controller entity, and the sequence number i of the second cell is consistent with the sequence number (high-level parameter) of the second cell serving the user equipment, then Ci Used to indicate the activation / deactivation status of the second cell corresponding to the sequence number i (second indication information); OD is used to indicate all C i The activation state of the on-demand synchronization information block of the second cell in the activated state with the fifth information element value in C set to 1. i The fifth information element value in is set to 1, indicating that the second cell with the high-level parameter i is activated; if C i If the value of the fifth information element in OD is set to 0, it indicates that the second cell with the high-level parameter i is deactivated. Further, if the value of the first information element in OD is set to 1, it indicates that the on-demand synchronization information block of the second cell in the activated state whose fifth information element value is set to 1 is activated; if the value of the first information element is set to 0, it indicates that the on-demand synchronization information block of the second cell in the activated state whose fifth information element value is set to 1 is deactivated.

[0246] In this embodiment, a special signal indication information carrier is designed to carry the second indication information of activation and deactivation of the second cell providing services to the user equipment, so that the user equipment can clearly understand the activation status of the second cell and adjust the resources required for the synchronization information according to the activation status, thereby achieving targeted adjustment of resources and improving synchronization efficiency.

[0247] Based on the above embodiments of the present application, in the eighth embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the above embodiments can be referred to the above introduction, and will not be described in detail later. Fig. 9 , the signal indication information carrier includes an application scenario of the first indication information and the second indication information, and the signal indication information carrying method includes:

[0248] Carrying the signal indication information into a signal indication information carrier, the signal indication information including indication information of an on-demand synchronization signal block sent by the first cell to the user equipment;

[0249] The signal indication information is used to instruct the user equipment to store:

[0250] First indication information of activation and deactivation of the on-demand synchronization signal block;

[0251] and,

[0252] Second indication information of activation and deactivation of a second cell providing service for the user equipment.

[0253] Optionally, the signal indication information carrier includes at least one fifth information element and the same number of first information elements as the fifth information elements, and the first information elements are used to carry first indication information of the on-demand synchronization signal block.

[0254] Optionally, the third index of the fifth information element name in the fifth information element corresponds to the second cell index providing service for the user equipment;

[0255] The first index of the first information element name in the first information element corresponds to the second cell index providing service for the user equipment;

[0256] The first index corresponds to the third index.
