Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of wireless technology, and in particular to a configuration method, apparatus, terminal, network equipment, medium, and program product. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, the configuration of the terminal's data transmission protocol stack is strongly tied to the Radio Resource Control (RRC) state. After the terminal completes the random access procedure and enters the connected state, the network configures the radio bearer to the terminal based on the signaling bearer radio bearer SRB1.

[0003] For terminal radio bearers, the behavior of data radio bearers is consistent within a defined RRC state. Radio bearer establishment is similar to a capability-based configuration and does not reflect current service requirements. Typically, Quality of Service (QoS) flows are mapped to data radio bearers through the SRAP protocol layer. In the connected state, even without buffered data to be transmitted, all configured data bearers are in the connected state.

[0004] In addition, for terminals that may not support RRC entities, or those that support some RRC states, or those that support more complex terminal states, the existing radio bearer configuration method, in which all radio bearers are in the same state, is inflexible. Summary of the Invention

[0115] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such terms can be used interchangeably where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first" and "second" are generally of the same class, not limited in number; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0116] To address the issue that existing wireless bearer configuration methods cannot meet the needs of complex terminal states, embodiments of this application provide a configuration method. A network device can configure or activate a first connection state of at least one wireless bearer and / or a second connection state of at least one logical channel of the terminal through first information. That is, to configure or activate the user plane connection state of the terminal, the terminal can configure different states of the wireless bearer and / or logical channel when it is in multiple different states, thereby increasing the flexibility of wireless bearer or logical channel configuration and meeting the needs of complex terminal states.

[0117] One embodiment of this application provides a configuration method executed by a terminal, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0118] S110, Obtain first information sent by the network device, the first information being used to configure or activate a first connection state of at least one radio bearer and / or a second connection state of at least one logical channel of the terminal.

[0119] It should be noted that in this application, the first connection state and the second connection state are only used to distinguish the connection state of the radio bearer and the connection state of the logical channel, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. Therefore, the first connection state of the radio bearer can also be described as the connection state of the radio bearer, and the second connection state of the logical channel can also be described as the connection state of the logical channel.

[0120] Using the configuration method described in the embodiments of this application, the network device can configure or activate the user plane connection state for the terminal, that is, configure or activate the first connection state of at least one Data Radio Bearer (DRB) and / or the second connection state of at least one Logical Channel (LCH) of the terminal, so that the terminal can configure different states of the data radio bearer and / or logical channel when it is in a variety of different states, thereby increasing the flexibility of data radio bearer or logical channel configuration and meeting the needs of complex terminal states.

[0121] In some embodiments, optionally, the first connection state of the wireless bearer includes one or more of an idle state, a connected state, and an intermediate state; and / or

[0122] The second connection state of a logical channel includes one or more of the following: idle state, connected state, and intermediate state.

[0123] Optionally, the first connection state of the wireless bearer is an idle state, that is, the wireless bearer currently does not have data transmission capability and cannot be used for data transmission; the first connection state of the wireless bearer is a connected state, that is, the wireless bearer currently has data transmission capability and can be used for data transmission; the first connection state of the wireless bearer is an intermediate state, that is, a low transmission power state between the connected state and the idle state.

[0124] Similarly, the second connection state of the logical channel is the idle state, which means that the logical channel does not currently have data transmission capability and cannot be used for data transmission; the second connection state of the logical channel is the connected state, which means that the logical channel currently has data transmission capability and can be used for data transmission; the second connection state of the logical channel is the intermediate state, which means that it is a low transmit power state between the connected state and the idle state.

[0125] In one embodiment, optionally, the first connection state of the wireless bearer in this application embodiment is an intermediate state, which can also be referred to as any one of the wireless bearer's inactive state, energy-saving state, and light connection state; the second connection state of the logical channel is an intermediate state, which can also be referred to as any one of the logical channel's inactive state, energy-saving state, and light connection state, and the specific description is not limited to the examples above.

[0126] The configuration method described in this embodiment can configure or activate the user plane connection state of the terminal according to different service conditions of the terminal, and configure the connection state separately based on different radio bearers and / or logical channels, so that the configuration of radio bearers and / or logical channels can reflect the current service state of the terminal. By configuring or activating the user plane connection state of the terminal, the behavior of radio bearers and / or logical channels is not limited to being consistent only based on RRC state. This method can be applied to terminals that do not support RRC entities or terminals that support some RRC states, thereby increasing the flexibility of terminal radio bearer configuration.

[0127] On the other hand, in the embodiments of this application, the configured or activated user plane connection state may include one or more of the first connection state of the radio bearer and the second connection state of the logical channel. That is, the connection state of the radio bearer is configured at the same time as the connection state of the logical channel.

[0174] S213, after receiving the RRC reconfiguration complete message, the network device sends an initial context establishment response message to the core network.

[0175] According to the RRC establishment process described above, in this embodiment, after the terminal sends a SecurityModeComplete message to the network device, that is, after the terminal's AS security is activated, the terminal can send a second message to the network device, requesting connection status indication information for the radio bearer and / or logical channel. After receiving the request, the network device can send a first message to the terminal to configure or activate the first connection status of at least one radio bearer and / or the second connection status of at least one logical channel of the terminal.

[0176] In one implementation, optionally, when the connection state indicated by the connection state indication information of the radio bearer reported by the second information is an idle state or an intermediate state, the first information is used to configure or activate the first connection state of the corresponding radio bearer to be a connected state; and / or,

[0177] If the connection status indicated by the connection status indication information of the logical channel reported by the second information is idle or intermediate, the first information is used to configure or activate the second connection status of the corresponding logical channel as connected.

[0178] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0181] In this embodiment, when the connection status indicated by the connection status indication information of one or more radio bearers reported by the terminal through the second information is idle, the network device can configure, activate, or reconfigure the corresponding radio bearer connection through the first information, and at the same time send an RRC release message to the terminal to release the RRC connection, so that the terminal enters the RRC idle state; when the connection status indicated by the connection status indication information of one or more logical channels reported by the terminal through the second information is idle, the network device can configure, activate, or reconfigure the corresponding logical channel connection through the first information, and at the same time send an RRC release message to the terminal to release the RRC connection, so that the terminal enters the RRC idle state.

Optionally, the RRC release message includes a suspend message to release the RRC connection, causing the terminal to enter the RRC inactive state.

[0183] By adopting the above implementation process, the control plane state can be switched with the help of the user plane of the terminal.

[0186] The wireless bearer configuration information includes one or more of the following:

[0187] Connection status indication information of the configured wireless bearer;

[0188] The first condition information for the wireless bearer to switch to the connected state.

[0189] In this implementation, the network device, after configuring or activating the user plane connection state, can also send radio bearer configuration information to the terminal. The connection state of the radio bearer is configured through connection state indication information. When the connection state of the radio bearer is configured as connected, it indicates that the corresponding radio bearer can be used for data transmission and reception. When the connection state of the radio bearer is configured as idle, it indicates that the corresponding radio bearer cannot be used for data transmission and reception temporarily. When the connection state of the radio bearer is configured as intermediate, it configures the corresponding radio bearer to be used for data transmission and reception under the condition of satisfying a first condition.

[0190] Optionally, the first condition information includes one or more of the following:

[0191] The signal quality of the terminal is greater than or equal to a first threshold; optionally, the signal quality can be, but is not limited to, only the Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP);

[0192] The amount of data that the terminal needs to transmit is less than or equal to the second threshold;

[0193] The terminal's current cached information is less than or equal to the third threshold;

[0194] The terminal's data transmission time is less than or equal to the fourth threshold.

[0196] Alternatively, in another embodiment, the method may further include:

[0197] Obtain the logical channel configuration information sent by the network device;

[0198] The logical channel configuration information includes one or more of the following:

[0199] Connection status indication information for the configured logical channel;

[0200] The second condition information for logical channel switching to connected state.

[0201] In this implementation, the network device, after configuring or activating the user plane connection state, can also send logical channel configuration information to the terminal. The connection state of the logical channel is configured through connection state indication information. When the connection state of the logical channel is configured as connected, it indicates that the corresponding logical channel can be used for data transmission and reception. When the connection state of the logical channel is configured as idle, it indicates that the corresponding logical channel cannot be used for data transmission and reception temporarily. When the connection state of the logical channel is configured as intermediate, it configures the corresponding logical channel to be used for data transmission and reception under the condition of satisfying a first condition.

[0202] Optionally, the second condition information may include one or more of the following:

[0203] The signal quality of the terminal is greater than or equal to a first threshold; optionally, the signal quality can be, but is not limited to, only the Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP);

[0205] The terminal's current cached information is less than or equal to the third threshold;

[0206] The terminal's data transmission time is less than or equal to the fourth threshold.

[0207] Optionally, the second condition information can be the same as or different from the first condition information. Specifically, the network device can configure the aforementioned thresholds in the logical channel configuration information when configuring the corresponding logical channel as an intermediate state.

[0208] In some embodiments, optionally, in step S110, the first information is indication information for indicating a control plane state switch;

[0209] Wherein, when the first information indicates that the control plane state has switched to the idle state, it is used to update the first connection state of the non-idle radio bearer of the terminal to the idle state, and / or to update the second connection state of the non-idle logical channel of the terminal to the idle state.

[0210] When the first information indicates that the control plane state has switched to an intermediate state, the first connection state of the radio bearer configured to be in the connected state of the terminal is updated to an idle state or an intermediate state, and / or the second connection state of the logical channel configured to be in the connected state of the terminal is updated to an idle state or an intermediate state.

[0211] In this implementation, when the network device updates the control plane state of the terminal, the connection state of the radio bearer and / or logical channel is updated. In this implementation, the first information is indication information used to indicate a control plane state switch.

[0212] Optionally, the network device updates the control plane state to an idle state, for example, by sending an RRC release message. In this implementation, the network device can configure the terminal to enter the RRC idle state by sending an RRC release message (first information) to the terminal, and also put all non-idle radio bearers and / or logical channels into an idle state. Alternatively, the network device updates the control plane state to an intermediate state, for example, by sending an RRC release message (first information) to the terminal, which includes a suspend-disable configuration. This configures the terminal to enter the RRC intermediate state, and puts all connected radio bearers (DRBs) and / or logical channels (LCHs) into an idle state or an intermediate state.

[0213] In another embodiment, optionally, the first information includes downlink activation / deactivation information, which is used to activate / deactivate radio bearers in an idle state, or to activate / deactivate logical channels in an idle state.

[0214] Optionally, the first information may include an RRC message or a MAC CE message, carrying an identifier of the radio bearer or logical channel that needs to be activated / deactivated. Using this implementation, activation / deactivation of idle radio bearers or idle logical channels is achieved by sending downlink activation / deactivation information.

[0215] In one embodiment, when the first information includes downlink activation / deactivation information, and the first information is used to activate / deactivate a radio bearer in an idle state, or to activate / deactivate a logical channel in an idle state, the first information is also used to configure the first connection state of the radio bearer in an idle state to be updated to a connected state or an intermediate state, or to configure the second connection state of the logical channel in an idle state to be updated to a connected state or an intermediate state.

[0216] In this implementation, the first information is used to activate and deactivate the idle state radio bearer or the idle state logical channel, and is also used to indicate that the idle state radio bearer or the idle state logical channel is converted to the connected state or the intermediate state.

[0217] The following provides an example illustrating the configuration method described in the embodiments of this application.

[0218] Example 1

[0219] In Example 1, if two types of uplink data arrive at terminal 1, a random access procedure is triggered. The terminal enters the control plane linked state, where data 1 is voice transmission and data 2 is a phone call. (This is in conjunction with the above.) Figure 2 After sending the SecurityModeComplete message, the terminal reports a second piece of information to the network device to request the connection status of the Radio Bearer (DRB). Optionally, the reported second piece of information includes: Data 1 has a buffer of 1000 bits, a size of <700 bits, two data packets, non-periodic data transmission, and no subsequent data; Data 2 has a buffer of 1,000,000 bits, a size of <1000 bits, non-periodic data transmission, and subsequent data.

[0220] Based on the second piece of information mentioned above, the network device can send configuration information to the terminal, configuring DRB1 as an inactive (intermediate) DRB that does not support subsequent data; and configuring DRB2 as a connected DRB.

[0221] Example 2:

[0222] In this second embodiment, after the terminal 2 is powered on, it receives broadcast information indicating that the current downlink RSRP is greater than a preset threshold and there is currently no data to be transmitted.

[0223] In this embodiment, after sending SecurityModeComplete, the terminal sends the second information to the network device to request a DRB connection state. Optionally, the requested DRB is inactive.
