Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In the existing protocol, after the terminal device sends the first message (copy) (such as Msg3) within the transmission window, it needs to start the listening window after the transmission window ends (or plus the round-trip delay (RTT) from the terminal device to the network device) to listen to the PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control CHannel) encrypted by RNTI (Radio-Network Temporary Identifier) and receive the corresponding response message (such as Msg4).

[0003] During the process of conceiving and implementing this application, the inventors discovered at least the following problems:

[0004] Because the terminal device sending the first message (copy) within the same transmission window needs to monitor the PDCCH scrambled by the same RNTI, and the corresponding response message may carry response messages from multiple terminal devices, the terminal device needs to continue monitoring the PDCCH and / or parse the response messages of all other scheduled terminal devices until it receives a matching response message or the monitoring window times out, which increases the power consumption of the terminal device. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the monitoring mechanism to reduce the power consumption of the terminal device.

[0094] The following combination Figure 1 A detailed introduction to the various components of the mobile terminal:

[0095] The RF unit 101 can be used to send and receive information or receive signals during calls. Specifically, it receives downlink information from the base station and transmits it to the processor 110 for processing. It also transmits uplink data to the base station. Typically, the RF unit 101 includes, but is not limited to, an antenna, at least one amplifier, a transceiver, a coupler, a low-noise amplifier, a duplexer, and / or other components. Furthermore, the RF unit 101 can communicate with the network and other devices via wireless communication.

It provides users with wireless broadband Internet access. Figure 1 The WiFi module 102 is shown, but it is understandable that it is not an essential component of the mobile terminal and can be omitted as needed without changing the essence of the invention.

[0097] The audio output unit 103 can convert audio data received by the RF unit 101 or the WiFi module 102 or stored in the memory 109 into an audio signal and output it as sound when the mobile terminal 100 is in a call signal reception mode, a talk mode, a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, a broadcast reception mode, or the like.

The image frames processed by the GPU 1041 may be stored in the memory 109 (or other storage medium) or transmitted via the RF unit 101 or the WiFi module 102. The microphone 1042 may receive sound (audio data) in operating modes such as phone call mode, recording mode, and voice recognition mode, and may process such sound into audio data. In phone call mode, the processed audio (voice) data may be converted into a format that can be transmitted to a mobile communication base station via the RF unit 101. The microphone 1042 may implement various types of noise cancellation (or suppression) algorithms to eliminate (or suppress) noise or interference generated during the reception and transmission of audio signals.

[0099] The mobile terminal 100 also includes at least one sensor 105, such as a light sensor, a motion sensor, and other sensors.

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

Optionally, the user input unit 107 may include a touch panel 1071 and other input devices 1072. The touch panel 1071, also known as a touch screen, can collect user touch operations on or near it (such as operations performed by the user using a finger, stylus, or any other suitable object or accessory on or near the touch panel 1071) and drive corresponding connected devices according to a pre-set program. The touch panel 1071 may include two parts: a touch detection device and a touch controller. Optionally, the touch detection device detects the user's touch direction and detects the signal generated by the touch operation, and transmits the signal to the touch controller; the touch controller receives the touch information from the touch detection device and converts it into touch point coordinates, which are then sent to the processor 110. It can also receive and execute commands sent by the processor 110. And / or, the touch panel 1071 can be implemented using various types such as resistive, capacitive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave. In addition to the touch panel 1071, the user input unit 107 may further include other input devices 1072.

When the touch panel 1071 detects a touch operation on or near it, it transmits the information to the processor 110 to determine the type of touch event. The processor 110 then provides a corresponding visual output on the display panel 1061 according to the type of touch event. Figure 1 In the embodiment, the touch panel 1071 and the display panel 1061 are two independent components to realize the input and output functions of the mobile terminal. However, in some embodiments, the touch panel 1071 and the display panel 1061 can be integrated to realize the input and output functions of the mobile terminal, which is not limited here.

[0139] S2: In response to the first condition being met, the terminal device stops the first listening window.

[0140] The embodiments of the present application take into account that: since the terminal device that sends the first message (copy) within the same transmission window needs to monitor the PDCCH encrypted by the same RNTI, and the corresponding response message may carry response messages of multiple terminal devices, the terminal device needs to continue monitoring the PDCCH and / or parse the response messages of all other scheduled terminal devices before receiving a matching response message or the listening window times out, which will increase the power consumption of the terminal device.

[0141] Therefore, this embodiment proposes a technical solution, in which the terminal device stops the first monitoring window in response to the first condition being met, thereby optimizing the monitoring mechanism, reducing the terminal device's monitoring of the PDCCH, and further reducing the power consumption of the terminal device.

[0172] Optionally, if the terminal device successfully parses the first response message and the first response message carries a contention resolution identifier that matches the terminal device, the terminal device stops the first listening window.

[0178] Optionally, the response information of the terminal device that sends the copy of the first message in the same PUSCH opportunity group or PUSCH resource group within the first transmission window can be carried in the same response message. By indicating whether the response message contains response information corresponding to the corresponding group through the indication information, the size of the indication information can be reduced.

[0179] Optionally, if the first indication information indicates that there is no response information corresponding to the PUSCH opportunity or the group to which the PUSCH opportunity belongs or the PUSCH resource or the group to which the PUSCH resource belongs selected by the terminal device in the first response message, and the first listening window has not timed out, the terminal device stops the first listening window (the network device may indicate that the current and subsequent response information does not include the PUSCH opportunity or PUSCH resource).
