Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular to an information indication method, apparatus, device, storage medium, and computer program product. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, one method for time-domain energy saving in terminals is to minimize the terminal's reception time in the time domain, thus giving the user equipment (UE) more opportunities to switch to sleep mode. One proposed implementation method is to set a measurement gap (MG), reserving a portion of time as the MG period during which the UE does not send or receive any data.

[0003] However, in some services such as Extended Reality (XR), the frequent arrival of service packets and their frequent interruptions by MGs can significantly impact the capacity and latency of XR services. This can lead to potential MGs existing between RRM measurement frequencies or within the FR2 frequency range when the UE is performing Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurements, causing measurement interruptions and thus limiting UE scheduling. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application aims to provide an information indication method, apparatus, device, storage medium, and computer program product that solves the current problem that UEs are easily interrupted by MG during RRM measurement. It proposes an information indication method that reduces the possibility of RRM measurement being interrupted due to MG and ensures UE scheduling.

[0007] Send instruction information; wherein the instruction information is used to instruct the terminal device on the execution information within the measurement interval MG.

[0008] In the above scheme, when the terminal device has configured MG and configured authorized CG Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), the execution information includes:

[0009] In the target MG, the terminal device sends the target CG PUSCH or the terminal device does not send the target CG PUSCH; wherein, the target MG includes one or more MGs;

[0010] Alternatively, in the target MG, priority configuration information between the measurement and the target CG PUSCH.

[0011] In the above scheme, the priority configuration information includes one or more of the following:

[0012] Within the first MG included in the target MG, data transmission is performed autonomously within the remaining time after the measurement action is completed;

[0013] The measurement process is continuously performed within the second MG included in the target MG, without data transmission.

[0014] In the third MG included in the target MG, the PUSCH transmission has a higher priority than the measurement action, the uplink transmission has a higher priority than the measurement action, or the CG transmission has a higher priority than the measurement action.

[0015] In the above scheme, when the transmitting device is a network device, the indication information is one of the following formats: Downlink Control Information (DCI) or Media Access Control (MAC) message.

[0016] In the above scheme, when the transmitting device is the terminal device, and the terminal device has configured MG and configured authorized CG physical uplink shared channel PUSCH, the indication information is one of the following formats: uplink control information UCI transmitted in CG PUSCH, or UCI transmitted in scheduling-based physical uplink control channel PUCCH / PUSCH.

[0017] In the above scheme, the target CG PUSCH includes one CGPUSCH or multiple CG PUSCHs among the multiple CG configurations configured in the terminal device.

[0018] In the above scheme, when the sending device is a network device, before sending the instruction information, the method further includes:

[0019] Send the MG configuration to the terminal device.

[0041] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] Before describing the embodiments of this application, the following terms will be explained:

[0043] Downlink Control Information (DCI) Format 2-6 Wake-up Signal: The most important method for User Equipment (UE) to achieve time-domain power saving is to reduce the time-domain reception time, that is, to give the terminal more opportunities to sleep. Therefore, the Discontinuous Reception (DRX) mechanism is introduced to ensure the terminal's sleep. However, due to the bursty nature of service transmission, the UE does not receive new data packets from the downlink in every DRX cycle. Thus, there will be a period of time when the terminal does not receive new packets within the onDuration Timer after being woken up by DRX, and these operations are performed unnecessarily. Therefore, the 3GPP New Radio (NR) standard introduces a "powersaving signal / channel" when the terminal is in connected state. Before entering the DRX cycle, the terminal can detect the powersaving signal to determine whether it needs to start the downlink control channel for the next DRX cycle. Since the power consumption required for the terminal to detect the powersaving signal is much smaller than the power consumption required to start a complete DRX cycle, it can effectively save terminal power consumption. Because this energy-saving signal is often used to trigger whether the terminal needs to wake up or sleep in the next DRX cycle, it is also referred to as the "wake-up" signal or the "sleep" signal to some extent.

[0044] Configuration Grant (CG) Transmission: The Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) has two types of non-dynamic transmission methods:

[0045] Configured grant Type 1: The uplink transmission grant is provided by the resource management layer (RadioResource Control, RRC). The UE stores this configuration and uses it as the grant configuration.

[0046] Configured grant type 2, the uplink transmission grant is provided by the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), and the configuration is stored or cleared according to the activation or deactivation indication of the configuration based on the Layer 1 signaling.

[0047] In this way, the terminal can directly transmit PUSCH on the pre-configured resources, thereby reducing network scheduling overhead and latency.

[0048] Measurement gaps (MG) are also called measurement intervals. Terminal measurements are divided into intra-frequency measurements and inter-frequency measurements. Intra-frequency measurements refer to the UE's current cell and the target cell being measured being on the same carrier frequency (center frequency). Inter-frequency measurements refer to the UE's current cell and the target cell not being on the same carrier frequency. If the UE needs to perform inter-frequency measurements (including inter-system measurements), a simple way is to install two radio frequency receivers in the UE equipment to measure the frequency of its own cell and the frequency of the target cell, respectively. However, this leads to increased costs and interference between different frequencies. Therefore, 3GPP proposed the measurement gap (MG) method, which reserves a period of time during which the UE does not send or receive any data, but instead tunes the receiver to the target cell frequency to perform inter-frequency measurements. When the measurement gap ends, it switches back to the current cell. In 5G, in addition to inter-frequency measurements, some measurements in the frequency range 2 (FR2) specified by 5G NR require switching between different beams, so even measurements on the same frequency will require a measurement gap.

[0049] The embodiments of this application provide an information indication method, referring to... Figure 1 As shown, the method is applied to a transmitting device, and the method includes the following steps:

[0050] Step 101: Send instruction information.

[0051] The indication information is used to indicate the execution information of the terminal device within the measurement interval MG.

[0052] In this embodiment, the transmitting device can be a network device used to provide network access to the terminal device, such as a base station, or it can be the terminal device itself. The terminal device is a user service device that uses a communication network to communicate with the network device; it can be called User Equipment (UE). In some application scenarios, it can also be simply referred to as a user, such as a smart mobile terminal communication device or a smart car.

[0053] Execution information can include the operations that the terminal device can perform within the measurement interval (MG). When multiple executable operations are included, the execution priority order of these operations is also specified. The terminal device can determine this execution information itself and then inform the base station, or the base station can specify it to the terminal device. In this way, the transmitting device pre-determines the execution information that the terminal device can perform within the MG. This ensures that the terminal device remains in a sleep state within the MG, guaranteeing time-domain energy saving, while also ensuring that the terminal device can perform the corresponding operation when it detects the signaling indication corresponding to the execution information. This guarantees that the corresponding RRM service will not be interrupted during the MG, reduces the probability of packet loss during the MG, and effectively guarantees the UE's scheduling service.

[0054] The information indication method provided in this application transmits indication information through a transmitting device. This indication information is used to indicate the execution information of the terminal device within the measurement interval (MG). In this way, the transmitting device directly indicates the executable execution information of the terminal device within the MG, solving the problem that UEs are easily interrupted by the MG during RRM measurements. This information indication method reduces the possibility of RRM measurements being interrupted due to the MG, thus ensuring UE scheduling.

[0055] Based on the foregoing embodiments, embodiments of this application provide an information indication method, which is applied to a transmitting device and includes the following steps:

[0056] Step 201: Send instruction information.

[0057] The indication information is used to indicate the execution information of the terminal device within the measurement interval MG.

[0058] In this embodiment, taking a base station as the transmitting device as an example, the base station sends indication information to the terminal device, indicating the execution information of the terminal device during the measurement interval (MG). Thus, in the corresponding MG, the terminal performs the corresponding operation indicated in the received execution information. Alternatively, when the transmitting device is the terminal device, the terminal device determines which operations it can perform in which measurement intervals, obtains execution information, generates indication information based on the determined execution information, and then sends the indication information to the base station. In this way, the base station performs the corresponding operation according to the execution information sent by the terminal device, ensuring that the corresponding service of the terminal device is not interrupted in the corresponding MG.

[0059] In other embodiments of this application, when the terminal device has configured the MG and configured the authorized CG physical uplink shared channel PUSCH, the execution information includes: in the target MG, the terminal device sends the target CG PUSCH or the terminal device does not send the target CG PUSCH; wherein, the target MG includes one or more MGs; or, in the target MG, priority configuration information between the measurement and the target CG PUSCH.

[0060] In this embodiment of the application, the process of configuring MG for the terminal device can be as follows: the terminal device reports measurement capability information to the base station, i.e., the sending device. This measurement capability information is used to indicate which frequency points of the terminal device need measurement gaps. In this way, after the base station receives the measurement capability information reported by the terminal device, it configures measurement gaps for the frequency points that need measurement gaps, thereby enabling the terminal device to configure MG.

[0061] PUSCH is a type of downlink channel in the physical layer, and it is the uplink channel that mainly carries user data.

[0062] The target MG can be one or more MGs obtained by analyzing the current MG and future MGs that have not yet arrived.

[0063] Provided that the transmitting device has configured the MG and CG PUSCH for the terminal device, the transmitting device sends an instruction message to the terminal device, which includes execution information indicating whether the terminal device should send the target CG PUSCH in the target MG. After receiving the instruction message, the terminal device performs the corresponding operation in the corresponding target MG according to the execution information.

[0064] For example, when the instruction information sent by the base station instructs the terminal device to send the target CG PUSCH in the first MG, the terminal device sends the target CG PUSCH to the base station in accordance with the instruction information when the first MG arrives; when the instruction information sent by the base station instructs the terminal device not to send the target CG PUSCH in the second MG, the terminal device does not send the target CG PUSCH to the base station in accordance with the instruction information when the second MG arrives.

[0065] Alternatively, when the transmitting device is a terminal device, if the terminal sends an indication message instructing the terminal device to send the target CG PUSCH in the first MG, the base station will receive the target CGPUSCH sent by the terminal device according to the indication message at the arrival time of the first MG; if the terminal device sends an indication message instructing the terminal device not to send the target CG PUSCH in the second MG, the base station can continue to rest at the arrival time of the second MG without needing to detect the transmission of the terminal device.

[0066] In the execution information, the measurement described in the priority configuration information between the measurement and the target CG PUSCH in the target MG refers to Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurement. The priority configuration information between the measurement and the target CG PUSCH can be the execution order of the measurement and the target CG PUSCH, or whether to execute them at all. For example, when the transmitting device is a base station, the base station sends indication information to the terminal device, informing the terminal device that it should perform the corresponding operations sequentially according to the priority configuration information indicated in the execution information included in the indication information when the target MG arrives; when the transmitting device is a terminal device, the terminal device sends indication information to the base station, informing the base station that it will perform the corresponding operations according to the priority configuration information in the execution information when the target MG arrives, according to the execution information in the indication information.

[0067] In other embodiments of this application, the priority configuration information includes one or more of the following:

[0068] Within the first MG included in the target MG, data is transmitted autonomously within the remaining time after the measurement action is completed.

[0069] The measurement process continues continuously within the second MG included in the target MG, without data transmission.

[0070] In the third MG included in the target MG, the PUSCH transmission has a higher priority than the measurement behavior, the uplink transmission has a higher priority than the measurement behavior, or the CG transmission has a higher priority than the measurement behavior.

[0071] In this embodiment of the application, in practical application scenarios, the first MG, the second MG, and the third MG can be a set of MGs, an empty set, or a single set, and at most, all MGs included in the target MG. When the priority configuration information includes any two or all of the following: operation priority configuration information for the first MG, operation priority configuration information for the second MG, and operation priority configuration information for the third MG, the first MG, the second MG, and the third MG are different. When the first MG, the second MG, and the third MG are a set, the MGs included in the first MG, the second MG, and the third MG are also not duplicated.

[0072] Data transmission includes the following: PUSCH transmission, uplink transmission, or CG transmission. The specific data transmission method used can be determined based on the capability indication information reported by the terminal device to the network device before executing step 201. The capability information reported by the terminal device to the network device is used by the terminal device to inform the network device that it has the capability to perform one or more of the following transmission methods in MG: PUSCH transmission, uplink transmission, and CG transmission.

[0073] In other embodiments of this application, when the transmitting device is a network device, the indication information is one of the following formats: Downlink Control Information (DCI) or Media Access Control (MAC) message.

[0074] In this embodiment of the application, when the transmitting device is a network device, the transmitting device generates indication information in the form of DCI for transmission processing, or it may also generate indication information in the form of Media Access Control (MAC) for transmission processing.

[0075] In other embodiments of this application, when the transmitting device is a terminal device, and the terminal device has configured MG and configured authorized CG physical uplink shared channel PUSCH, the indication information is one of the following formats: uplink control information UCI transmitted in CG PUSCH, or scheduling-based physical uplink control channel PUCCH / PUSCH.

[0076] In this embodiment of the application, when the transmitting device is a terminal device, the terminal device can generate indication information in the form of uplink control information (UCI) transmitted in the CG PUSCH for transmission processing, or the terminal device can generate indication information in the form of UCI transmitted in the scheduled physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) / PUSCH for transmission processing.

[0077] In other embodiments of this application, the target CG PUSCH includes one or more CG PUSCHs among a plurality of CG configurations configured in the terminal device.

[0078] It should be noted that after the sending device sends the indication information, when the receiving device receives the indication information, the receiving device can send a corresponding confirmation message to the sending device to indicate that the indication information has been received. For example, when the base station sends the indication information to the terminal device, the terminal device sends a confirmation message to the base station in response after receiving the indication information. Similarly, if the terminal device sends the indication information to the base station, the base station will also respond by sending a confirmation message to the terminal device after receiving the indication information.

[0079] When the transmitting device is a network device, such as a base station, the triggering process for the network device to send the indication information can be as follows: when the network device detects that the reported information from the terminal device indicates that there is still data that has not been transmitted and data transmission is still required, the network device sends the indication information to the terminal device, informing the terminal device that it is in the target MG and can send the target CGPUSCH; or when the network device detects that the reported information from the terminal device indicates that there is still data that has not been transmitted and data transmission is still required, and the terminal device currently has sufficient measurement results, the network device sends the indication information to the terminal device, informing the terminal device that it is in the target MG and can send the target CG PUSCH.

[0080] When the transmitting device is a terminal device, the triggering process for the terminal device to send the indication information can be as follows: If the terminal device detects that the data in the buffer has not been completely sent and there is still data to be sent, and there are already enough measurement results, the terminal device determines the target MG, generates the corresponding operation indication information, and sends the indication information to the network device in this CG PUSCH transmission to inform the network device that the terminal device will perform PUSCH transmission, uplink transmission, or CG transmission in the remaining time after the measurement is completed in the target MG; or, in the target MG, the priority of PUSCH transmission, uplink transmission, or CG transmission is higher than that of measurement, that is, PUSCH transmission, uplink transmission, or CG transmission is performed first in the target MG, and measurement is performed only after the PUSCH transmission, uplink transmission, or CG transmission is completed. In this case, if the interval duration of the target MG is short, and there is no remaining time after the PUSCH transmission, uplink transmission, or CG transmission is performed, measurement may not be performed.

[0081] In other embodiments of this application, the transmitting device is a network device, and the execution information includes the MG characteristic parameters of the target MG.

[0082] In this embodiment of the application, the MG feature parameters of the target MG include at least the time position and duration of the MG.

[0083] In other embodiments of this application, the indication information is in the following format: used for uplink scheduling DCI or downlink scheduling DCI.

[0084] In other embodiments of this application, the indication information is one of the following formats: DCI format 2-6 for wake-up or low-power wake-up signal.

[0085] Based on the foregoing embodiments, this application provides an application embodiment of an information indication method. When the UE is configured with MG and CG PUSCH, the base station sends indication information, which can be a DCI message or a MAC message. The indication information carries the following content:

[0086] In one or more MGs determined in subsequent MGs (including the current MG), the UE is allowed to send CG PUSCH, or the UE is not allowed to send CG PUSCH, or

[0087] In one or more subsequent MGs (including the current MG), the priority configuration for UE to perform measurements and CG PUSCH transmissions is determined.

[0088] Based on the foregoing embodiments, this application provides a second application embodiment of the information indication method. When the UE is configured with both MG and CG PUSCH, the UE carries a dedicated UCI indicating the following content in CG PUSCH transmission or in scheduling-based PUCCH / PUSCH transmission:

[0089] In one or more MGs determined in subsequent MGs (including the current MG), the UE is allowed to send CG PUSCH, or the UE is not allowed to send CG PUSCH, or

[0090] In one or more subsequent MGs (including the current MG), the priority configuration for UE to perform measurements and CG PUSCH transmissions is determined.

[0091] After receiving the UCI indication sent by the UE, the base station sends an acknowledgment message of receiving the UCI indication to the UE.

[0092] In application embodiment one and application embodiment two, the priority configuration includes one or more of the following:

[0093] After completing the measurement action in the MG, the UE can autonomously perform PUSCH / uplink / CG transmission in the remaining time.

[0094] The UE is constantly performing measurement activities in the MG and cannot perform PUSCH / uplink / CG transmission;

[0095] In the MG, the UE has higher priority for PUSCH / uplink / CG transmission than for measurement.

[0096] Based on the foregoing embodiments, this application provides a third application embodiment of the information indication method. When the UE is configured with MG and multiple CG configurations, in order to comprehensively consider the characteristics of different service types under measurement and multiple CG configurations, the methods of application embodiment one and application embodiment two are still applicable, but the content corresponding to the indication information needs to be modified as follows:

[0097] In one or more MGs determined in subsequent MGs, the UE may be allowed to use one or more CG PUSCHs from multiple CG configurations, or the UE may be disallowed to use one or more CG PUSCHs from multiple CG configurations; or

[0098] In one or more MGs determined in subsequent MGs, the UE performs measurements and prioritizes one or more CG configurations among multiple CGs.

[0099] Based on the foregoing embodiments, this application provides a fourth application embodiment of an information indication method. When the MG is an aperiodic MG and the MG Pattern position is not fixed, the base station sends an indication to the UE through uplink scheduling DCI, downlink scheduling DCI, DCI format 2-6 (also known as DCP) for wake-up, or a low-power wake-up signal. The indication content is as follows:

[0100] Information such as the time position and / or duration of the next or multiple MGs.

[0101] In this way, the base station directly instructs the terminal to one or more MGs for measurement.

[0102] It should be noted that the descriptions of the same steps and contents as in other embodiments in this embodiment can be found in the descriptions in other embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0103] The information indication method provided in this application transmits indication information through a transmitting device. This indication information is used to indicate the execution information of the terminal device within the measurement interval (MG). In this way, the transmitting device directly indicates the executable execution information of the terminal device within the MG, solving the problem that UEs are easily interrupted by the MG during RRM measurements. This information indication method reduces the possibility of RRM measurements being interrupted due to the MG, thus ensuring UE scheduling.

[0104] Based on the foregoing embodiments, this application provides an information indication method, referring to... Figure 2 As shown, when the sending device is a network device, the following steps are included:

[0105] Step 301: Send MG configuration to the terminal device.

[0106] In this embodiment, when the MG is not a periodic MG, the network device configures the MG for the terminal device according to the actual application scenario. During this process, after determining the MG for the terminal device, the network device sends the MG configuration information to the terminal device so that the terminal device can perform corresponding operations within the MG corresponding to the MG configuration. The MG configuration includes at least the MG period, offset, and window size.

[0107] Step 302: Send instruction information.

[0108] The indication information is used to indicate the execution information of the terminal device within the measurement interval MG.

[0109] In this embodiment of the application, the network device sends instruction information to the terminal device so that the terminal device can perform the corresponding operation in the MG corresponding to the MG configuration sent by the network device according to the execution information in the instruction information.

[0110] In other embodiments of this application, the execution information is one of the following:

[0111] In the target MG, perform the measurement operation according to the preset measurement requirements;

[0112] No measurement operation is performed in the target MG;

[0113] Data transmission is performed within the target MG;

[0114] No data is transmitted within the target MG.

[0115] In this embodiment, the target MG includes one or more MGs indicated in the MG configuration. The preset measurement requirements can be requirements for measurement within the target MG, such as a combination of one or more requirements including measurement frequency, the measurement pattern adopted by the terminal device in each MG included in the target MG, etc. The measurement frequency can also be referred to as measurement density, for example, measuring once every certain number of measurement opportunities, such as N measurement opportunities. The MGs included in the target MG are aperiodic MGs, but the MG Pattern positions are fixed.

[0116] Data transmission includes the following: PUSCH transmission, uplink transmission, or CG transmission. The specific data transmission method used can be determined based on the capability indication information reported by the terminal device to the network device before step 302. The capability information reported by the terminal device to the network device is used by the terminal device to inform the network device that it has the capability to perform one or more of the following transmission methods in the MG: PUSCH transmission, uplink transmission, and CG transmission.

[0117] In other embodiments of this application, the indication information is in the following format: DCI format 2-6 for wake-up or low-power wake-up signal.

[0118] Based on the foregoing embodiments, this application provides a fifth application embodiment of an information indication method. When the MG is an aperiodic MG, but the MG Pattern position is fixed, one process is as follows: the base station sends an MG configuration to the UE, wherein the MG configuration may include parameters such as period, offset, and window size. After the base station determines that the UE has received the MG configuration, the base station sends an indication to the UE through uplink scheduling DCI or downlink scheduling DCI, wherein the indication content is as follows:

[0119] The measurement behavior may or may not be required in one or more MGs specified by the MG configuration. For example, the measurement behavior may be the measurement pattern of the UE in the specified MG, which can be represented by a bitmap, where each bit represents the measurement behavior of the corresponding MG; the measurement behavior may also be the measurement density in the specified MG, such as measuring once every N measurement opportunities.

[0120] Another implementation process can be: the base station sends a DCI format 2-6 (DCP) or low-power wake-up signal to the UE for wake-up, which also carries the following instructions for the UE to perform in one or more designated MGs configured according to the MG configuration. The specific operations that the UE needs to perform can be: the UE needs to perform measurement behavior in the designated MG, or does not need to perform measurement behavior; or the UE is allowed to perform data transmission in the MG.

[0121] It should be noted that the descriptions of the same steps and contents as in other embodiments in this embodiment can be found in the descriptions in other embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0122] The information indication method provided in this application involves sending MG configuration information to a terminal device via a transmitting device, followed by sending indication information. This indication information is used to indicate the execution information of the terminal device within the measurement interval MG. In this way, the transmitting device directly indicates the executable execution information within the MG to the terminal device, solving the problem that UEs are easily interrupted by the MG during RRM measurements. This information indication method reduces the possibility of RRM measurements being interrupted due to the MG, thus ensuring UE scheduling.

[0123] Based on the foregoing embodiments, embodiments of this application provide an information indicating device, which can be applied to... Figures 1-2 In the information indication method provided in the corresponding embodiments, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the information indication device may include: a transmitting unit; wherein:

[0124] The transmitting unit is used to transmit indication information; wherein the indication information is used to indicate the execution information of the terminal device in the measurement interval MG.

[0125] In other embodiments of this application, when the terminal device has configured the MG and the authorized CG Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), the execution information includes:

[0126] In the target MG, the terminal device may send the target CG PUSCH or the terminal device may not send the target CG PUSCH; wherein, the target MG includes one or more MGs;

[0127] Alternatively, in the target MG, the priority configuration information between the measurement and the target CG PUSCH.

[0128] In other embodiments of this application, the priority configuration information includes one or more of the following:

[0129] Within the first MG included in the target MG, data is transmitted autonomously within the remaining time after the measurement action is completed.

[0130] The measurement process continues continuously within the second MG included in the target MG, without data transmission.
