Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In some related technologies, the main method used by a terminal to establish dual connectivity (DC) or carrier aggregation (CA) is that after the terminal enters the connected state, the network-side device reconfigures the terminal to perform DC or CA carrier measurements, obtains the measurement results, and reports the measurement results to the network-side device. The network-side device then configures DC or CA for the terminal based on the measurement results to enable the terminal to establish DC or CA. Since the network-side device needs to reconfigure the terminal to perform DC or CA carrier measurements and report the measurement results after the terminal enters the connected state, this results in a relatively long delay in the terminal establishing DC or CA.

[0059] In the embodiments of the present application, AIoT, which can be referred to as the Ambient Power-Enabled Internet of Things (AIoT), is an IoT service in which IoT terminals are powered by energy harvesting. IoT devices do not have batteries or have limited energy storage capabilities (for example, using a capacitor). Energy sources for energy harvesting include radio waves, light, motion, heat, or other suitable energy sources.

[0060] In the embodiments of the present application, low-power IoT devices have low overall power consumption, including low-power signal reception and low-power signal transmission. Due to the low overall power consumption, the energy for communication can come from the environment, such as wind energy, kinetic energy, thermal energy, radio frequency (RF) signals, etc., and can also be called AIoT devices or passive IoT devices or transponders.

[0061] AIoT devices can be classified based on energy source, energy storage capability, and passive or active emission, and can include the following three types of devices:

[0062] Device Type A: A passive device that does not generate or amplify independent signals, i.e., performs backscatter transmission.

[0063] Device Type B: A semi-passive device, also within the passive device category. It has energy storage but no independent signal generation, i.e., backscatter transmission. The use of stored energy can include amplification of reflected signals.

[0064] Device Type C: Active device, with energy storage and independent signal generation, that is, active RF components for transmission.

[0065] Backscatter communication (BSC) involves a device using radio frequency signals from other devices or the environment to modulate its signal and transmit its own information. Backscatter, a passive or low-energy technology, can transmit its own signal by modifying the characteristics of the received ambient radio frequency signal, such as its phase or amplitude, achieving extremely low or zero power consumption.

[0066] A backscatter transmission based on on-off keying (OOK) Figure 2 or Figure 3 shown.

[0067] A simple implementation method is that when the tag needs to send a '1', the tag reflects the incident carrier signal, and when the tag needs to send a '0', it does not reflect.

[0068] Backscatter communication equipment controls the reflection coefficient Γ of the circuit by adjusting its internal impedance, thereby changing the amplitude, frequency, phase, etc. of the incident signal to achieve signal modulation. The reflection coefficient of the signal can be expressed as:

[0069] Γ=(Z_1-Z_0) / (Z_1+Z_0)=|Γ|e^(jθ_T)

[0070] Where Z_0 is the antenna characteristic impedance, and Z_1 is the load impedance. Assuming the incident signal is S_in(t), the output signal is S_out(t) = S_in(t)|Γ|e^(jθ_T). Therefore, by properly controlling the reflection coefficient, corresponding amplitude modulation, frequency modulation, or phase modulation can be achieved.

[0071] These devices typically use low-power receivers, typically using low-power RF, IF, or baseband envelope detection. The waveform of the transmitted signal typically uses simple modulation schemes such as OOK, Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK), and Frequency Shift Keying (FSK).

[0072] The device with which this type of low-power device communicates is called a reader (or read-write device), which can be, for example, a terminal, a network-side device, or a device with read-write functions, such as a reader / writer, which is not limited in the embodiments of this application.

[0073] In some implementations, the data (or service) types of an A-IoT device include: device-originated (DO) and device-terminated (DT).

[0074] DO and DT data represent data flows originating from or being transmitted to A-IoT devices, respectively. DO data, which originates from A-IoT devices, can be further categorized as follows:

[0075] Device-originated access (DOA), where DOs initiate data transmission autonomously, for example, by connecting a large number of various sensors that collect and, when necessary, actively report information about the environment, devices, and organisms.

[0076] Device-originating–device-terminated triggered (DO-DTT) refers to device-terminated data transmissions that trigger device-initiated data transmissions. For example, asset identification, status reporting, and tracking are all downlink triggered reports where the reader collects data from the tag by triggering an inventory process. Because the data is generated / initiated in the IoT device, this service should be considered a DO service initiated by the tag, triggered by a command sent by the reader.

[0077] Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a traditional backscatter communication system designed to identify and read data from BSC devices (i.e., tags) within the reader's coverage area. Because RFID was initially used for automated inventory counting of large quantities of goods, the process of tag identification and data reading is also known as inventory taking.

[0078] In some embodiments, Figure 4 For example, Figure 4 This diagram shows a tag inventory process. After the reader sends a query command (Query), the tag responds (Reply). For example, if the Reply is RN16, the tag generates a 16-bit random number and sends it to the reader. The reader then sends this sequence to the tag using an Acknowledgement (ACK) command. After successfully verifying the RN16 in the ACK, the tag sends subsequent data to the reader, such as the subsequent Protocol Control (PC) / Extended Protocol Control (XPC) and Electronic Product Code (EPC).

[0079] In some embodiments, information transmission between the reader and the tag can be as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the details are as follows:

[0080] Select Operation: The process by which the interrogator selects a tag population for subsequent inventory or cryptographically challenges a tag population for subsequent verification. Selection includes the Select and Challenge commands.

[0081] Inventory operation: The process by which the interrogator identifies tags. The interrogation process begins an inventory round by transmitting a query command in one of four sessions. One or more tags may reply. The interrogator detects a single tag reply and requests the PC, EPC, and 16-bit cyclic redundancy check (CRC) or signature information from the tag. An inventory round can only be performed in one session at a time, and the inventory process consists of multiple commands.

[0082] Access operation: The process by which an interrogator interacts with a single tag (reads, writes, verifies, or otherwise participates). The interrogator individually identifies the tag before accessing it. The access process includes multiple commands.

[0083] Among them, the operating instructions of the reader are shown in Table 1:

[0086]

[0087]

[0088] The status of the tag is shown in Table 2:

[0089] Table 2:

[0090]

[0091] It should be noted that the above Tables 1 and 2 are only examples for illustrating the information transmission between the reader and the tag. In the embodiments of the present application, there is no specific limitation on the information transmission between the reader and the tag.

[0092] In some embodiments, the DC provides the terminal with resources of two network nodes (access network elements), one of which is called a master node (MN) and the other is called a secondary node (SN). At each network node, CA technology is used, that is, a series of service cells controlled by the node, also called a cell group (cell group), is configured for the terminal. The MN controls the master cell group (MCG) and the SN controls the secondary cell group (SCG). Each cell group contains a special cell (SpCell) and a series of secondary cells (Scell). In the MCG, the special cell is called the primary cell (PCell), and in the SCG, the special cell is called the primary secondary cell (PSCell). In a cell group, the SpCell uses the main carrier, while other secondary cells use secondary carriers. Resource scheduling within a cell group is performed by the SpCell.

[0093] In the following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, a communication configuration method, apparatus, terminal, and network-side equipment provided by the embodiments of the present application are described in detail through some embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0094] See Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a flow chart of a communication configuration method provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0095] Step 601: The terminal obtains first configuration information, where the first configuration information is related to AIoT device-assisted communication, where the AIoT device-assisted communication includes at least one of the following:

[0096] The network side device configures DC or CA for the terminal;

[0097] The terminal establishes a DC or CA.

[0098] The terminal may obtain the first configuration information in a non-connected state.

[0099] The first configuration information may be received by the terminal from a network-side device, or may be obtained by the terminal from a third-party entity. Furthermore, the first configuration information may be obtained via a broadcast message or dedicated signaling, such as obtaining the first configuration information via a radio resource control (RRC) release message. When the first configuration information is obtained from a third-party entity, the embodiments of the present application do not limit the method of obtaining the first configuration information.

[0100] The above-mentioned first configuration information is related to the AIoT device-assisted communication and can be understood as the first configuration information being used to configure the AIoT device to assist the network side device in configuring DC or CA related information for the terminal, or the first configuration information being used to configure the AIoT device to assist the terminal in establishing DC or CA related information.

[0101] In the embodiment of the present application, after the network side device configures DC or CA for the terminal, the terminal can complete the establishment of DC or CA. In this way, the AIoT device can assist the network side device in configuring DC or CA for the terminal, thereby reducing the delay of the terminal in establishing DC or CA.

[0102] When the AIoT device assists the terminal in establishing DC or CA, it can be understood that the process of the terminal establishing DC or CA is based on the assistance of the AIoT device, such as the configuration of the terminal establishing DC or CA is obtained based on the assistance of the AIoT device.

[0103] The terminal establishing DC or CA may include at least one of the following:

[0104] The terminal establishes a DC, which can also be represented by the network-side device configuring a DC for the terminal;

[0105] The terminal establishes CA, which can also be expressed as the network side device configuring CA for the terminal;

[0106] The terminal establishes DC and CA, which can also be represented as the network-side device configuring DC and CA for the terminal.

[0107] The above-mentioned AIoT device assists the network side device in configuring DC or CA for the terminal or the terminal establishes DC or CA related information, which may be the relevant information of the AIoT device assisting the network side device in configuring DC or CA for the terminal or the terminal establishing DC or CA related information. For example: the relevant information of the AIoT device is used by the network side device to configure DC or CA for the terminal, so that the AIoT device assists the terminal in establishing DC or CA. The relevant information of the AIoT device may be information sent by the AIoT device or information of the AIoT device detected by the terminal. In some embodiments, the above-mentioned network side device configures DC or CA for the terminal, which may be the network side device determining the terminal's location related information (also referred to as location information) based on the relevant information of the AIoT device reported by the terminal (also referred to as feedback information), and then configuring DC or CA for the terminal based on the location related information, so as to shorten the delay in establishing DC or CA. For example: the network side device configures the above-mentioned first configuration information for a non-connected terminal. The terminal can identify the AIoT device based on the first configuration information and obtain feedback information related to the AIoT device. The terminal stores the feedback information. When the terminal enters the connected state, the feedback information is reported to the network side device. The network side device can obtain the approximate location information of the terminal based on the feedback information and configure DC or CA for the terminal to shorten the establishment delay of DC or CA.

[0108] The location-related information may include at least one of the following:

[0109] The identification of the A-IoT device detected by the terminal, the identification of the AIoT device closest to the terminal detected by the terminal, the identification of the AIoT device with the largest reflected signal strength detected by the terminal, the identification of the AIoT device whose reflected signal strength detected by the terminal exceeds the reflected signal strength threshold, the identification of the A-IoT device detected by the terminal within a specific range centered on the terminal, the grid information of the terminal, the absolute position of the terminal, the relative position of the terminal, and the proximity indication.

[0110] The proximity indication is used to indicate that the terminal is approaching or leaving at least one specific A-IoT device. The proximity indication includes at least one of the following:

[0111] an identifier of at least one specific AIoT device that the terminal approaches or leaves;

[0112] an indication that the terminal is approaching or leaving at least one specific AIoT device;

[0113] An indication of the terminal approaching or leaving all specific AIoT devices.

[0114] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the network side device configures DC or CA for the terminal, and the implementation method of the terminal establishing DC or CA is not limited. For example, the establishment method defined in the protocol or newly defined in the subsequent protocol can be adopted.

[0115] In the embodiment of the present application, the first configuration information is obtained, and the first configuration information is related to AIoT device-assisted communication. The AIoT device-assisted communication includes the AIoT device assisting in at least one of the following: the network-side device configuring DC or CA for the terminal; the terminal establishing DC or CA. This allows the terminal to support the AIoT device assisting the network-side device in configuring DC or CA for the terminal or establishing DC or CA, thereby reducing the latency of the terminal establishing DC or CA.

[0116] In some embodiments, the terminal obtains information related to AIoT devices deployed around it in a non-connected state based on the first configuration information, and reports the relevant information in a connected state. The network configures DC or CA for the terminal based on the reported AIoT auxiliary information. This allows the terminal to enter the connected state without performing relevant measurements, thereby quickly establishing DC or CA and reducing the delay for the terminal to establish DC or CA.

[0117] Obtaining information related to AIoT devices may include at least one of the following methods: inventorying AIoT devices, detecting AIoT devices, and measuring AIoT devices.

[0118] In the embodiment of the present application, since the AIoT device assists the terminal in establishing DC or CA, it can reduce the delay of the terminal in establishing DC or CA, that is, it can quickly establish DC or CA. Therefore, the AIoT device assists the terminal in establishing DC or CA can also be called the AIoT device assists the terminal in quickly establishing DC or CA.

[0133] Among them, the location information of one or more AIoT devices can be the specific location information of one or more AIoT devices, or it can be the grid information associated with one or more AIoT devices. The grid information represents the location information of all grid areas of the AIoT devices. For example, operators or third-party entities can divide the grid area location information through the deployed AIoT devices, and determine the AIoT devices in each grid area and the grid information corresponding to each AIoT device.

[0134] Since it includes frequency information, identification information or location information of one or more AIoT devices, the terminal can identify the AIoT device or read the relevant information (also called data) of the AIoT device more quickly and accurately, further reducing the delay of the terminal in establishing DC or CA.

[0135] The area information of the AIoT device can be one or more AIoT area information, or one or more valid area information. For example, the area information of the AIoT device includes: one or more valid area information, and the valid area information includes at least one of the following:

[0136] One or more carrier frequencies;

[0137] One or more physical cell identifiers (PCIs) corresponding to one or more carrier frequencies;

[0138] Frequency information of one or more AIoT devices;

[0139] Identification information of one or more AIoT devices;

[0140] Grid information, where the grid information is associated with the AIoT device.

[0141] The information of the one or more valid areas may be a valid area list, which includes information of the one or more valid areas.

[0142] Among them, the above-mentioned one or more carrier frequencies are carrier frequencies corresponding to a valid area. When the terminal reselects a cell outside the frequency points of the above-mentioned one or more valid areas, it is considered that AIoT-assisted early measurement is no longer required.

[0143] The one or more PCIs corresponding to the one or more carrier frequencies may correspond to a one-to-one correspondence between carrier frequencies and PCIs, or some carrier frequencies may correspond to multiple PCIs, without limitation. When the terminal reselects to a cell outside the PCI of the one or more valid areas, it is considered that no further AIoT-assisted early measurement is required.

[0144] In some implementations, the cell may be determined using a carrier frequency + PCI method. When the terminal reselects a cell outside of the cells corresponding to the one or more valid areas, it is considered that AIoT-assisted early measurement is no longer necessary.

[0145] The frequency information of the above-mentioned one or more AIoT devices refers to the frequency information valid within the valid area, and the identification information of the above-mentioned one or more AIoT devices refers to the identification information valid within the valid area. For example, when the terminal obtains the identification or frequency of an AIoT device that does not belong to the valid area, it is considered that there is no need to perform the AIoT-assisted early measurement process.

[0146] Another method uses the frequency information or identification information of one or more AIoT devices mentioned above to determine whether the terminal is in the valid area. For example, the cells in the network are divided into multiple grids, and AoT devices are deployed in the network. In this way, the terminal determines the location information of the terminal by detecting the frequency information or identification information of these AIoT devices, and then determines whether it is in the valid area.

[0147] The above-mentioned grid information is associated with the AIoT device, and the network information indicates the grid where the AIoT device is located. For example, if the cell is divided into multiple grids, the above-mentioned grid information indicates the grid where the AIoT device is located within the effective area.

[0148] The area information of the above-mentioned AIoT device can enable the terminal to detect the area where the terminal is located, and then determine the position of the terminal. The effective area information can enable the effective area where the terminal is located to be determined. When the terminal moves out of the effective area, it is considered that AIoT-assisted early measurement is no longer necessary, reducing unnecessary AIoT detection process of the terminal.

[0149] The first enabling indication may be an indication to the terminal to perform AIoT-assisted DC or CA establishment, i.e., to allow the terminal to perform AIoT-assisted DC or CA establishment. The first enabling indication may be an explicit or implicit indication. For example, if the network-side device is configured with the first configuration information, it may indicate that the terminal is implicitly enabled to perform AIoT-assisted DC or CA establishment.

[0150] Through the above-mentioned first enabling indication, the AIoT device can be flexibly configured to assist in establishing DC or CA under the control of the network side device.

[0151] Among them, the time information of the above-mentioned terminal detecting the AIoT device can indicate the time when the terminal detects the AIoT device or triggers the AIoT device.

[0152] In some embodiments, the time information when the terminal detects the AIoT device includes at least one of the following:

[0153] A first time interval for the terminal to trigger the AIoT device to send first feedback information;

[0154] The terminal obtains time information of the first feedback information sent by the AIoT device.

[0155] The first feedback information is the feedback information or reflection signal sent by the AIoT device to the terminal. In the embodiment of the present application, the reflection signal can also be referred to as the feedback signal.

[0156] The first time interval may be configured by the network or agreed upon by the protocol. The terminal periodically identifies and reads data from the AIoT device corresponding to the first configuration information based on the first time interval.

[0157] The first time interval for the terminal to trigger the AIoT device to send the first feedback information can also be called the first time interval for the terminal to detect the first feedback information sent by the AIoT device.

[0158] The time information of the first feedback information sent by the above-mentioned terminal to obtain the AIoT device can be one or more time values, or it can be a timer information. It can be considered that the terminal needs to obtain the relevant information of the AIoT device within the first feedback information time (sending a trigger signal to the AIoT device or the terminal obtaining the first configuration information to receive the feedback of the AIoT device). If the time exceeds this time, the terminal may no longer obtain the relevant information of the corresponding AIoT device. Another embodiment can be that the above method can also be implemented by a timer. For example, when the terminal obtains the first configuration information or starts detecting AIoT (sending a trigger signal to the AIoT device), the timer is started. When the timer stops or times out, the terminal may not perform the AIoT-assisted early measurement process or delete the corresponding first configuration information. The stop condition of the timer can be: when the terminal receives at least one of the following messages: RRC Setup, RRC Recovery (RRCResume), RRC Release (RRCRelease) (carrying the first configuration information) or the terminal has a cell selection or reselection (such as moving out of the valid area), the timer is stopped.

[0159] The time information of the terminal detecting the AIoT device can make the terminal and the network side device have the same understanding of the terminal detecting the AIoT device, so as to facilitate the scheduling or configuration of the terminal by the network side device, thereby improving the communication performance between the terminal and the network side device. At the same time, it can enable the terminal to obtain relevant information of the AIoT device within a certain time, avoiding the terminal from performing unnecessary detection, inventory or measurement, and reporting invalid relevant information.

[0160] The parameter information of the first feedback information sent by the above-mentioned AIoT device may be the parameter information of the first feedback information sent by one or more AIoT devices, or the parameter information of the first feedback information sent by all AIoT devices corresponding to the terminal.

[0161] In some embodiments, the parameter information of the first feedback information sent by the AIoT device includes at least one of the following:

[0162] A second time interval for the AIoT device to send the first feedback information, wherein the second time interval is a time interval for the terminal to trigger the AIoT device to send multiple first feedback information at one time;

[0163] The AIoT device sends time-frequency domain resource parameters for first feedback information;

[0164] The power at which the AIoT device sends the first feedback information;

[0165] Signal strength of the first feedback information sent by the AIoT device;

[0166] The power of the reflected signal sent by the AIoT device;

[0167] The signal strength of the reflected signal sent by the AIoT device;

[0168] The reflected signal is used to carry the first feedback information.

[0169] The second time interval may be the time interval at which the AIoT device updates the first feedback information. This time interval may be configured by the network or based on a protocol agreement. For example, after the terminal sends a trigger message to the AIoT device, the AIoT periodically sends the first feedback information to the terminal based on the second time interval.

[0170] It should be noted that the energy source of the AIoT device is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. It can be powered by its own battery, or obtain energy from external electromagnetic waves, etc.

[0171] The above-mentioned second time interval can enable the terminal to obtain the first feedback information sent by the AIoT device multiple times, so as to save the terminal's overhead of triggering the AIoT device to send a feedback signal.

[0172] The time-frequency domain resource parameters for the above-mentioned AIoT device to send the first feedback information may be indication information of the time domain and frequency domain resources for the AIoT device to send the first feedback information. Through the time-frequency domain resource parameters, the AIoT device can know on which resources to provide feedback.

[0173] The power or signal strength of the first feedback information sent by the above-mentioned AIoT device and the power or signal strength of the reflected signal sent by the AIoT device can enable the terminal to compare or calculate the distance between the terminal and the AIoT device by actually measuring the signal strength and the signal strength sent by the AIoT, thereby more accurately locating the position of the terminal or the position of the AIoT device.

[0174] The power information of the terminal sending information to the AIoT device may include at least one of the following:

[0175] Power information of the excitation signal sent by the terminal to the AIoT device

[0176] Power information of control commands sent by the terminal to the AIoT device

[0177] The terminal sends power information of the trigger information to the AIoT device.

[0178] The above power information can be used to control the range of AIoT devices that the terminal can discover. The greater the transmission power, the more AIoT devices can be discovered, allowing the network-side device to better control the behavior of the terminal and facilitate communication between the network-side device and the terminal. At the same time, the reflected signal power of the AIoT device can be controlled by controlling the terminal's transmission power.

[0179] The amount of feedback information reported by the terminal to the network device may include the amount of feedback information stored or reported by the terminal, and the amount may be the number of AIoT devices, that is, feedback information of a corresponding number of AIoT devices is reported. Specifically, it may include at least one of the following:

[0180] The amount of first feedback information, the amount of second feedback information, and the amount of relevant information about AIoT devices detected by the terminal;

[0181] Or it can be the total number of at least two of the first feedback information, the second feedback information, and the relevant information of the AIoT device detected by the terminal.

[0182] Among them, the above-mentioned second feedback information is obtained based on the first feedback information, that is, when the AIoT device sends the first feedback information, the terminal detects it based on the first feedback information, and may include the first feedback information of the AIoT device detected by the terminal (or the reflected signal carrying the first feedback information), and the relevant information of the matched AIoT device, such as the AIoT device identification, the location information of the AIoT device, the grid information associated with the AIoT device, etc.

[0183] The relevant information of the AIoT device detected by the above-mentioned terminal may be the relevant information obtained by the terminal from detecting the AIoT device, such as the AIoT device identification, the location information of the AIoT device, the grid information associated with the AIoT device, etc.

[0184] The amount of feedback information reported by the above-mentioned terminal to the network side device can avoid the terminal from reporting too much AIoT auxiliary information, reduce the terminal load, and at the same time enable the terminal and the network side device to reach an agreement on the amount of feedback information reported, making it easier for the network side device to parse the feedback information reported by the terminal.

[0185] The above-mentioned judgment information for the first feedback information sent by the AIoT device may be relevant information for performing a validity judgment or a signal strength judgment on the first feedback information sent by the AIoT device.

[0186] In some embodiments, the determination information for the first feedback information sent by the AIoT device includes at least one of the following:

[0187] The intensity threshold of the first feedback information sent by the AIoT device;

[0188] Validity verification parameters for the first feedback information sent by the AIoT device.

[0189] Among them, the intensity threshold of the first feedback information sent by the AIoT device can also be called the intensity threshold of the reflected signal sent by the AIoT device. The intensity threshold is used by the terminal to determine whether to report relevant feedback information. For example: the terminal can measure the signal strength of the reflected signal of the AIoT device. When the signal strength of the reflected signal of the AIoT device is less than the threshold value, the terminal believes that the AIoT device is far away from the terminal and is an invalid device. The terminal may not save the feedback information of the device, or not report the feedback information associated with the device to the network. On the contrary, when the feedback signal strength of the AIoT device is greater than or equal to the threshold value, the terminal believes that the device is very close to the terminal, and the terminal saves the feedback information associated with the device and reports it to the network side;

[0190] The above-mentioned validity verification parameter can be used by the terminal to verify whether the first feedback information of the saved AIoT device is valid. The parameter can be one or more values, which can be a network-side configuration or a protocol agreement. For example, when the parameter is configured as Xs, it means that only the feedback information obtained within Xs before the terminal reports the feedback information or initiates the RRC connection or sends message 1 (message1) is considered valid. It should be noted that the above-mentioned validity verification parameter is not limited to a time parameter. For example, it can also be a location parameter, that is, the first feedback information obtained at a specific location is valid.

[0191] The discrimination information of the first feedback information sent by the above-mentioned AIoT device can make the feedback information reported by the terminal more effective and reliable.

[0192] As an optional implementation, the method further includes:

[0193] The terminal starts a timer, and the terminal obtains relevant information of the AIoT device during the operation of the timer.

[0194] The duration of the timer may be configured by the first configuration information, or may be pre-configured or agreed upon by a protocol.

[0195] Among them, the above-mentioned acquisition of relevant information of the AIoT device can be a detection of the AIoT device, or an inventory process of the AIoT device.

[0196] In some implementations, obtaining the relevant information of the AIoT device may include at least one of the following:

[0197] receiving first feedback information;

[0198] Acquire second feedback information based on the first feedback information;

[0199] Detect relevant information of AIoT devices.

[0200] The timer stop condition may include at least one of the following:

[0201] Receive an RRC Setup message;

[0202] Receive an RRC resume (RRCResume) message;

[0203] Receive an RRC release (RRCRelease) message;

[0204] The terminal selects or reselects a cell (for example, the terminal is not in the valid area);

[0205] When the above timer stops or times out, the terminal can delete the first configuration information or stop obtaining relevant information of the AIoT device.

[0206] In this implementation, since the terminal obtains relevant information of the AIoT device during the operation of the timer, this can save the power consumption of the terminal, avoid the terminal performing unnecessary inventory, detection or measurement, and reporting invalid AIoT auxiliary information.

[0207] As an optional implementation, the method further includes:

[0208] The terminal sends trigger information to one or more AIoT devices, where the trigger information is used to trigger a process of obtaining relevant information of the AIoT devices, and the trigger information includes at least one of the following:

[0209] An excitation carrier, where the excitation carrier is used by the AIoT device to assist the terminal in establishing DC or CA;

[0210] Control command, where the control command is used by the AIoT device to assist the terminal in establishing DC or CA;

[0211] A second enabling indication, wherein the second enabling indication is used to indicate that the AIoT device is capable of assisting communication;

[0212] The AIoT device sends time-frequency domain resource parameters for first feedback information;

[0213] The second time interval for the AIoT device to send the first feedback information, wherein the second time interval is the time interval for the terminal to trigger the AIoT device to send multiple first feedback information at one time.

[0214] The above trigger information can also be used to trigger the inventory process of the AIoT device, during which the AIoT device sends first feedback information or a reflection signal to the terminal.

[0215] The above-mentioned second enabling indication is used to indicate that the AIoT device can assist the terminal in establishing DC or CA, or it can be a second enabling indication used to indicate that the AIoT device can assist the terminal in performing early measurement, which early measurement includes the terminal obtaining first feedback information, second feedback information or detecting relevant information of the AIoT device to assist the terminal in establishing DC or CA.

[0216] In this implementation, the trigger information can enable the AIoT device to further assist the terminal in establishing DC or CA.

[0217] As an optional implementation, the method further includes:

[0218] The terminal obtains first feedback information sent by the AIoT device, where the first feedback information includes at least one of the following:

[0219] Identification information of AIoT devices;

[0220] Location information of AIoT devices;

[0221] Grid information, where the grid information is associated with the AIoT device;

[0222] The AIoT device sends power information of the first feedback information;

[0223] Signal strength information of the first feedback information sent by the AIoT device;

[0224] Location change information of AIoT devices;

[0225] Grid change information, where the grid change information is associated with an AIoT device.

[0226] The identification information of the above-mentioned AIoT device can enable the terminal or network-side device to determine the location of the AIoT device based on the identification information, and then determine the location of the terminal based on the location of the AIoT device.

[0227] The grid information associated with an AIoT device can be the grid in which the AIoT device is located, and the grid change information associated with an AIoT device can be the grid information that has changed compared to the previous grid information of the AIoT device, thereby updating the grid information. For example, if the current AIoT device has changed from its initial network deployment location or the location initially reported to the network, the grid change information would be the difference between the initial deployment location and the current location.

[0228] The power information or signal strength information of the first feedback information sent by the above-mentioned AIoT device can be used by the terminal to detect the distance between the terminal and the AIoT device. For example, the terminal can determine the distance between the AIoT device and the terminal based on the power of the first feedback information sent by the AIoT and the signal strength of the first feedback information actually measured by the terminal, and then choose to report the feedback information associated with the AIoT device closest to the terminal.

[0229] In this embodiment, at least one of the above information can enable the terminal or the network side device to better determine the location of the terminal, where the location can be an approximate location or a precise location. In this way, based on the location of the terminal, the network side device can configure DC or CA for the terminal and shorten the delay in establishing DC or CA.

[0230] In some embodiments, the first feedback information or the second feedback information can be obtained through inventory, wherein the inventory can be understood as a process in which the terminal acts as a reader / writer to identify and read data from the AIoT device configured in the first configuration information.

[0231] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0232] The terminal stores the first feedback information or the second feedback information, where the second feedback information is acquired based on the first feedback information.

[0233] The second feedback information mentioned above is described in the above embodiments and is not limited here.

[0234] The terminal may store the first feedback information or the second feedback information until the terminal enters a connected state and then report the information to the network side device.

[0235] The terminal may store the first feedback information or the second feedback information in the form of terminal variables.

[0236] In this embodiment, since the terminal stores the first feedback information or the second feedback information in a non-connected state, after the terminal enters a connected state, it can report AIoT-related auxiliary information as soon as possible, so that the network side can configure DC or CA for the terminal based on the relevant auxiliary information, thereby reducing the delay of the terminal in establishing DC or AC.

[0237] Optionally, the first feedback information or the second feedback information stored by the terminal satisfies at least one of the following:

[0238] The signal strength of the first feedback information meets the strength threshold;

[0239] The distance between the terminal and the AIoT device determined based on the power information or signal strength information carried by the first feedback information and the signal strength measured by the terminal meets the distance condition;

[0240] The amount of the stored first feedback information or second feedback information does not exceed the amount of feedback information reported by the terminal to the network side device.

[0241] That the signal strength of the first feedback information satisfies the strength threshold may be that the signal strength of the first feedback information is greater than or equal to the strength threshold.

[0242] The above-mentioned strength threshold may be agreed upon by the protocol or configured by the network side device.

[0243] In some implementations, the signal strength of the first feedback information may be a signal strength or signal quality detected by the terminal, or a signal strength that carries the first feedback information.

[0244] By ensuring that the signal strength of the first feedback information meets the strength threshold, the first feedback information stored by the terminal can be made more reliable.

[0245] The amount of the stored first feedback information or the second feedback information not exceeding the amount of feedback information reported by the terminal to the network-side device includes at least one of the following:

[0246] The first feedback information stored does not exceed the amount of feedback information reported by the terminal to the network side device;

[0247] The amount of the second feedback information stored does not exceed the amount of feedback information reported by the terminal to the network side device;

[0248] The total amount of the stored first feedback information and second feedback information does not exceed the amount of feedback information reported by the terminal to the network side device.

[0249] The amount of the feedback information may be configured by the first configuration information, or may be agreed upon by a protocol.

[0250] The above distance conditions may be configured by network-side equipment or agreed upon in a protocol.

[0251] In some embodiments, the distance condition includes at least one of the following:

[0252] The determined distance between the terminal and the AIoT device meets the distance threshold;

[0253] The determined distance between the terminal and the AIoT device is the minimum distance in the distance set, or the determined distance between the terminal and the AIoT device is greater than other distances in the distance set; the distance set is a set of distances between the terminal and multiple AIoT devices determined by the terminal.

[0254] The distance between the terminal and the AIoT device determined to satisfy the distance threshold may be determined to be less than or equal to the distance threshold. The distance threshold may be network configured or protocol agreed.

[0255] In this implementation, the first feedback information or the second feedback information corresponding to an AIoT device at the minimum distance is stored.

[0256] The distance between the terminal and the AIoT device determined above is greater than other distances in the distance set. This can be based on sorting the distances from small to large, and determining multiple AIoT devices from small to large. The specific number can be a protocol agreement or network side device configuration.

[0257] The above distance condition can ensure that the first feedback information or the second feedback information stored in the terminal is feedback information that meets the distance condition, so that the feedback information stored in the terminal is more reliable.

[0258] In an embodiment of the present application, a terminal obtains first configuration information related to AIoT device-assisted communication. The AIoT device-assisted communication includes the AIoT device assisting in at least one of the following: a network-side device configuring DC or CA for the terminal; or the terminal establishing DC or CA. This allows the terminal to support the AIoT device assisting the network-side device in configuring DC or CA for the terminal or establishing DC or CA, thereby reducing the latency of the terminal establishing DC or CA.

[0259] See Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a flow chart of another communication configuration method provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0260] Step 701: A network-side device sends first configuration information to a terminal.

[0268] A first enabling indication, wherein the first enabling indication is used to indicate that the terminal is capable of AIoT device communication;

[0269] Time information of the terminal acquiring relevant information of the AIoT device;

[0270] Power information of the information sent by the terminal to the AIoT device;

[0271] The amount of feedback information reported by the terminal to the network side device.

[0272] Optionally, the device information of the one or more AIoT devices includes at least one of the following:

[0274] Identification information of one or more AIoT devices;

[0275] The location information of one or more AIoT devices.

[0276] Optionally, the area information of the AIoT device includes: information of one or more valid areas, and the information of the valid areas includes at least one item:

[0277] One or more carrier frequencies;

[0278] One or more physical cell identifiers (PCIs) corresponding to one or more carrier frequencies;

[0279] Frequency information of one or more AIoT devices;

[0280] Identification information of one or more AIoT devices;

[0281] Grid information, where the grid information is associated with the AIoT device.

[0282] Optionally, the time information at which the terminal obtains relevant information of the AIoT device includes at least one of the following:

[0283] A first time interval for the terminal to trigger the AIoT device to send first feedback information;

[0284] The terminal obtains time information of the first feedback information sent by the AIoT device.

[0285] Optionally, the parameter information of the first feedback information sent by the AIoT device includes at least one of the following:

[0286] A second time interval for the AIoT device to send the first feedback information, wherein the second time interval is a time interval for the terminal to trigger the AIoT device to send multiple first feedback information at one time;

[0290] The power of the reflected signal sent by the AIoT device;

[0291] The signal strength of the reflected signal sent by the AIoT device;

[0292] The reflected signal is used to carry the first feedback information.

[0294] The intensity threshold of the first feedback information sent by the AIoT device;

[0295] Validity verification parameters for the first feedback information sent by the AIoT device.

[0296] It should be noted that this embodiment is Figure 6 The implementation of the corresponding network side device in the embodiment shown in the figure can be found in the specific implementation of the embodiment. Figure 6 The relevant descriptions of the embodiment shown are not repeated in this embodiment to avoid duplication.

[0297] See Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is a flow chart of another communication configuration method provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 8 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0298] Step 801: The terminal obtains second configuration information, where the second configuration information includes at least one of the following:

[0299] AIoT deployment information;

[0300] AIoT auxiliary information, the AIoT auxiliary information is used to assist the network side device to configure DC or CA for the terminal after the terminal enters the connected state.

[0301] Since the AIoT auxiliary information is used to assist the network side in configuring DC or CA for the terminal after the terminal enters the connected state, the delay in establishing DC or CA can be effectively shortened.

[0302] The second configuration information may be obtained from a third-party entity, and in some implementations, may also be received from a network-side device.

[0303] Among them, the above-mentioned AIoT deployment information can indicate relevant information of the deployed AIoT devices, such as location information, grid information, etc.

[0304] The above-mentioned AIoT auxiliary information is used to assist the network side in configuring DC or CA for the terminal after the terminal enters the connected state, effectively shortening the delay in establishing DC or CA, such as indicating the auxiliary information applicable to the terminal after obtaining AIoT. These auxiliary information are used to assist the network side in configuring DC or CA for the terminal after the terminal enters the connected state, effectively shortening the delay in establishing DC or CA.

[0305] In this embodiment, since the terminal obtains AIoT deployment information, it can report based on this AIoT deployment information, thereby reducing the delay in the terminal establishing DC or CA. The AIoT auxiliary information is used to assist the network-side device in configuring DC or CA for the terminal after the terminal enters the connected state, which can effectively shorten the delay in establishing DC or CA.

[0306] As an optional implementation manner, the AIoT auxiliary information includes at least one of the following:

[0307] Target carrier in early measurements;

[0308] Target frequency in early measurements;

[0309] Target cells in early measurements;

[0310] Target cell group in early measurement.

[0311] The target carrier may be one or more carriers, the target frequency may be one or more frequency points, the target cell may be one or more cells, and the target cell group may be one or more cell groups.

[0312] Since the above-mentioned AIoT auxiliary information includes the above-mentioned target carrier, target frequency, target cell or target cell group, the network side can directly configure DC or CA for the terminal based on the auxiliary information, thereby reducing the delay of the terminal in establishing DC or CA.

[0313] As an optional implementation, the AIoT auxiliary information is associated with one or more AIoT devices.

[0314] The above-mentioned AIoT auxiliary information is associated with one or more AIoT devices, which can be understood as including AIoT auxiliary information associated with one or more AIoT devices, such as the target carrier in the early measurement associated with one or more AIoT devices, the target frequency in the early measurement, the target cell in the early measurement or the target cell group in the early measurement.

[0315] In this implementation, since the AIoT auxiliary information is associated with one or more AIoT devices, the terminal can directly determine the AIoT auxiliary information associated with each AIoT device and report it to the network side device, so that the network side device can directly configure DC or CA for the terminal based on the auxiliary information, further reducing the delay of the terminal in establishing DC or CA.

[0316] As an optional implementation, the method further includes:

[0317] The terminal obtains AIoT information of the AIoT device, where the AIoT information includes at least one of the following:

[0331] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0332] The terminal determines target AIoT auxiliary information in the AIoT auxiliary information according to the AIoT information;

[0333] The terminal performs AIoT-assisted early measurement or AIoT-assisted early measurement reporting based on at least one of the AIoT deployment information and the target AIoT auxiliary information.

[0334] The above-mentioned determination of the target AIoT auxiliary information in the AIoT auxiliary information based on the AIoT information may be target AIoT auxiliary information associated with the AIoT information selected in the above-mentioned AIoT auxiliary information, such as target AIoT auxiliary information associated with the AIoT device corresponding to the AIoT information.

[0338] Perform AIoT-assisted early measurement or AIoT-assisted early measurement reporting based on the target AIoT-assisted information.

[0339] Among them, performing AIoT-assisted early measurement or AIoT-assisted early measurement reporting based on the AIoT deployment information may be to determine the location of the AIoT device based on the AIoT deployment information, thereby performing early measurement of the AIoT device at that location, and reporting feedback information obtained from the early measurement. Alternatively, performing AIoT-assisted early measurement or AIoT-assisted early measurement reporting based on the AIoT deployment information may be to determine the location of the AIoT device based on the AIoT deployment information, obtain AIoT information of the AIoT device at that location, and report the AIoT information in the early measurement report, that is, in this case, the AIoT information can be directly reported without performing early measurement.

[0340] The above-mentioned AIoT-assisted early measurement or AIoT-assisted early measurement reporting based on the AIoT deployment information and the target AIoT auxiliary information can be based on determining the location of the AIoT device with the AIoT deployment information, thereby performing early measurement corresponding to the target AIoT auxiliary information on the AIoT device at that location, and reporting feedback information obtained from the early measurement. Alternatively, AIoT-assisted early measurement or AIoT is performed based on the AIoT deployment information and the target AIoT auxiliary information.

[0341] The above-mentioned AIoT-assisted early measurement or AIoT-assisted early measurement reporting based on the target AIoT auxiliary information may be performing early measurement corresponding to the target AIoT auxiliary information and reporting feedback information obtained from the early measurement.

[0342] It should be noted that in some implementations, early measurement or early measurement reporting can be performed directly based on AIoT deployment information, and this reporting can also reduce the delay in the terminal establishing DC or CA.

[0343] In this embodiment, since the terminal obtains AIoT deployment information, it can report based on this AIoT deployment information, thereby reducing the delay in the terminal establishing DC or CA. The AIoT auxiliary information is used to assist the network-side device in configuring DC or CA for the terminal after the terminal enters the connected state, which can effectively shorten the delay in establishing DC or CA.
