Description

[0002] When a terminal is in a radio resource control (RRC) idle state or an RRC inactive state, the terminal can perform radio resource management (RRM) measurement and obtain RRM measurement results. Based on the RRM measurement results and the priority of a neighbor cell (or adjacent cell), it is determined whether to perform cell reselection.

[0208] FIG. 1 is an architecture schematic diagram of a communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0209] As shown in FIG. 1, the communication system 100 includes a terminal 101 and a network device 102.

[0210] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 includes at least one of a mobile phone, a wearable device, an Internet of Things device, a communication-enabled automobile, a smart automobile, a tablet computer (Pad), a wireless transceiver-enabled computer, a virtual reality (VR) terminal device, an augmented reality (AR) terminal device, a wireless terminal device in industrial control, a wireless terminal device in self-driving, a wireless terminal device in remote medical surgery, a wireless terminal device in a smart grid, a wireless terminal device in transportation safety, a wireless terminal device in a smart city, a wireless terminal device in a smart home, and the like, but is not limited thereto.

[0211] In some embodiments, the network device 102 is, for example, a node or device that accesses a terminal to a wireless network, and the access network device can include at least one of an evolved NodeB (eNB) in a 5G communication system, a next generation eNB (ng-eNB), a next generation NodeB (gNB), a node B (NB), a home node B (HNB), a home evolved node B (HeNB), a wireless backhaul device, a radio network controller (RNC), a base station controller (BSC), a base transceiver station (BTS), a base band unit (BBU), a mobile switching center, a base station in a 6G communication system, an open base station (Open RAN), a cloud base station (Cloud RAN), a base station in other communication systems, an access node in a Wi-Fi system, but is not limited thereto.

[0212] In some embodiments, the network device configures the cell reselection priority of the cell through system information (IS).

[0213] In an example, the configuration manner includes:

[0214] A field is included in the system information, which is used to represent different cell reselection priorities, and the name of the field can be CellReselectionPriority. In an example: the value of the field can be one of 8 values, which is used to represent 8 different cell reselection priorities, for example: it can be one value from 0 to 7. The smaller the value in the field, the lower the corresponding cell reselection priority, and similarly, the larger the value, the higher the corresponding cell reselection priority.

[0215] The network device can also make more detailed configuration, for example, make the system information further include a field for indicating different cell reselection sub-priorities, and the name of the field can be CellReselectionSubPriority. In an example, the field can take one of 4 values to indicate 4 different cell reselection sub-priorities. For example, one of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8. The smaller the value in the field, the lower the corresponding cell reselection sub-priority, and vice versa. Optionally, the cell reselection sub-priority is superimposed on the above-mentioned cell reselection priority to serve as a new cell reselection priority.

[0216] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 needs to perform synchronization operation in each paging cycle and detect whether there is a paging message corresponding to the terminal 101 in the paging occasion (PO) corresponding to the terminal 101, which can be a paging downlink control information (PDCI), and in most cases, no paging message can be detected, so that the multiple detections will waste power. In order to reduce power waste, the following two processes can be performed:

[0217] The first process: in order to save the terminal energy consumption in the idle state, the network device 102 can send a paging early indication (PEI) for the terminal 101 before the PO corresponding to the terminal 101. If the PEI indicates that the terminal 101 needs to listen to the paging message in its own PO, the terminal 101 will listen to it. If the PEI indicates that the terminal 101 does not need to listen to the paging message in its own PO, the UE does not need to listen to it, so that unnecessary listening performed by the terminal 101 can be avoided.

[0218] The second processing is to propose a mechanism of low power wake up receiver (LR). In the power saving state, the terminal 101 can put the main radio (MR) into a sleep state and turn on the LR to monitor a low power wake up signal (LPWUS). When the LR monitors the LP-WUS for the terminal 101, the terminal 101 turns on the MR and performs normal processing, which can be monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), receiving a downlink parameter signal, measuring a downlink parameter signal, etc. By using the LR mechanism, the power consumption of the MR can be reduced, and since the power consumption of the LR is very low, a large power saving gain can be obtained.

[0219] In some embodiments, the LR can be different types of LR, for example, it can be an on-off keying (OOK) modulation based LR, and it can also be an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation based LR. Thus, the modulation type supported by the LR can be an OOK modulation type, and it can also be an OFDM modulation type. The OOK modulation based LR can accept and detect a wake-up signal via OOK modulation. The OFDM modulation based LR can be used to receive and detect a wake-up signal via OFDM modulation. In general, the coverage effect of the OFDM modulation wake-up signal is better than that of the OOK modulation wake-up signal. One implementation of the OFDM modulation wake-up signal is to superimpose an OFDM modulation superposition sequence on the time domain symbol of the OOK wake-up signal. The terminal 101 uses the OFDM modulation based LR to receive the OFDM modulation superposition sequence.

[0220] In some embodiments, the LPWUS can carry a wake-up indication indicating whether one or more groups need to be woken up. The existing grouping method can be a core network indication based grouping method or a user equipment identifier (UEID) based grouping method. In the core network indication based grouping method, the core network directly indicates the grouping number of the target terminal; in the UEID based grouping method, the terminal 101 calculates its corresponding group according to the grouping method and the UEID configured by the base station system information.

[0221] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 can be divided into two categories, the first category is a terminal without energy saving capability, i.e., a terminal without LR, and the second category is a terminal with energy saving capability, i.e., a terminal with LR. The network device can not configure an energy saving signal in the corresponding neighbor cell to be applicable to a plurality of first category terminals, so as not to use the energy saving function; the network device can also configure an energy saving signal in the corresponding neighbor cell to be applicable to a plurality of second category terminals, so as to use the energy saving function.

[0222] FIG. 2A is an interaction schematic diagram of a method for determining cell reselection priority according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2A, the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a method for determining cell reselection priority, which comprises:

[0223] In step S2101, the network device 102 sends first configuration information to the terminal 101.

[0224] In some embodiments, the network device 102 broadcasts system information, and the system information includes the first configuration information.

[0225] In some embodiments, the first configuration information can be replaced by energy saving signal configuration information.

[0226] In some embodiments, the first configuration information is used to configure the energy saving signal of the neighbor cell.

[0227] In some embodiments, the first configuration information is used to configure the energy saving signal of at least one neighbor cell.

[0228] In some embodiments, the first configuration information is used to configure the energy saving signal of one or more neighbor cells.

[0229] In some embodiments, each neighbor cell corresponds to one energy saving signal.

[0230] In some embodiments, the energy saving signal includes at least one of the following:

[0231] A low power wake up signal (LPWUS);

[0232] A low power synchronization signal (LPSS).

[0233] In some embodiments, the energy saving signal includes an OFDM modulation superposition sequence in the case of the terminal 101 with LR.

[0234] In an example, the energy saving signal is for the terminal 101 with LR, and in the case that the energy saving signal includes an LPWUS and an LPSS, the OFDM modulation superposition sequence is included in both the LPWUS and the LPSS.

[0235] In some embodiments, the first configuration information comprises at least one of:

[0236] first indication information, used for indicating a frequency domain position of the power saving signal of the neighbor cell;

[0237] second indication information, used for indicating a power offset of the power saving signal of the neighbor cell;

[0238] third indication information, used for indicating whether an OFDM overlaid sequence is included in the power saving signal of the neighbor cell.

[0239] In some embodiments, the frequency domain position indicated by the first indication information is located in a different frequency band from a frequency domain position of a synchronization signal block (SSB) of the corresponding neighbor cell, or is located in a same frequency band as the frequency domain position of the SSB of the corresponding neighbor cell.

[0240] When the frequency domain position indicated by the first indication information is located in the same frequency band as the frequency domain position of the SSB of the corresponding neighbor cell, the first configuration information can default the frequency domain position of the power saving signal of the neighbor cell.

[0241] In an example, the first configuration information comprises a field used for indicating the frequency domain position of the power saving signal of the neighbor cell.

[0242] When the frequency domain position is located in a different frequency band from the frequency domain position of the SSB of the corresponding neighbor cell, the field is used for indicating the frequency domain position of the power saving signal of the neighbor cell;

[0243] When the frequency domain position is located in a different frequency band from the frequency domain position of the SSB of the corresponding neighbor cell, the field is used for indicating a default value.

[0244] In some embodiments, the power offset is a power offset compared to the SSB. The power offset is high, meaning that the network device transmits the power saving signal at a higher power, so that the coverage of the power saving signal is larger, and thus the terminal can apply the power saving function in a larger range, enhancing the effect of terminal power saving.

[0245] In step S2102, the terminal 101 determines a first priority of the neighbor cell according to the first configuration information and a power saving capability of the terminal 101.

[0246] In some embodiments, the power saving capability of the terminal 101 comprises at least one of:

[0247] a first frequency band, which is a frequency band supported by the LR of the terminal 101;

[0248] The first modulation type is a modulation type supported by the terminal.

[0249] In an example, the first modulation type is an OOK modulation type.

[0250] In another example, the first modulation type is an OFDM modulation type.

[0251] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 determines the first priority of the neighbor cell according to the energy saving capability of the terminal 101 and at least one of the first indication information, the second indication information and the third indication information in the first configuration information, which is specifically described in the following 5 determination manners.

[0252] In a first determination manner, the terminal 101 determines the first priority of the neighbor cell according to the first indication information and the energy saving capability of the terminal 101.

[0253] The first determination manner includes the following manner 1-1 and manner 1-2, wherein the first priority determined in the manner 1-1 is not a fixed value, and the first priority determined in the manner 1-2 is a fixed value.

[0254] Manner 1-1:

[0255] According to the frequency domain position indicated by the first indication information, if the frequency domain position is located in the first frequency band, the terminal 101 determines the first priority L1 of the neighbor cell, and the first priority L1 is greater than or equal to the first threshold T1.

[0256] According to the frequency domain position indicated by the first indication information, if the frequency domain position is not located in the first frequency band, the terminal 101 determines the first priority L1 of the neighbor cell, and the first priority L1 is less than or equal to the second threshold T2.

[0257] In some embodiments, the first threshold T1 is greater than or equal to the second threshold T2.

[0258] In some embodiments, in the case that the frequency domain position indicated by the first indication information is located in the first frequency band, the terminal 101 determines the first priority L1 of the neighbor cell according to the first frequency band, and the first priority L1 is greater than or equal to the first threshold.

[0259] Optionally, different first frequency bands correspond to different first priorities, and the different first priorities are all greater than or equal to the first threshold.

[0260] Manner 1-2:

[0261] According to the frequency domain position indicated by the first indication information, if the frequency domain position is located in the first frequency band, the terminal 101 determines the first priority L1 of the neighbor cell as a first value, and the first value is agreed by a protocol or configured by the network device 102.

[0262] In an example, the first value is 0, 1, 2 or 3.

[0263] In the second determination manner, the terminal 101 determines the first priority of the neighbor cell according to the first indication information, the second indication information, and the energy saving capability of the terminal 101.

[0264] The second determination manner includes the following manner 2-1 and manner 2-2. In the manner 2-1, one priority is determined, and the one priority is taken as the first priority L1. In the manner 2-2, two priorities are determined, and the sum of the two priorities is taken as the first priority L1.

[0265] The manner 2-1 includes the following steps 2-1-1 to 2-1-2.

[0266] In a case where the frequency domain position indicated by the first indication information is located in the first frequency band, the terminal 101 determines the first priority L1 of the neighbor cell according to the second indication information; and the first priority L1 is positively correlated with the power offset indicated by the second indication information.

[0267] In some embodiments, the first priority L1 is positively correlated with the power offset indicated by the second indication information means that the greater the power offset indicated by the second indication information, the greater the first priority L1, and vice versa.

[0268] In some embodiments, the determining the first priority L1 of the neighbor cell according to the second indication information includes the following steps 1 to 4.

[0269] Step 1, determining a mapping set.

[0270] Step 2, determining the offset range to which the power offset indicated by the second indication information belongs in the mapping set.

[0271] The mapping set includes a plurality of one-to-one correspondence relationships, and each one-to-one correspondence relationship includes an offset range and a priority value.

[0272] Step 3, determining the priority value corresponding to the offset range.

[0273] Step 4, determining the first priority L1 of the neighbor cell as the priority value.

[0274] In an example, one mapping set includes three offset ranges, which are: range i, range ii, and range iii. Each offset range corresponds to a priority value, and specifically:

[0275] The priority value corresponding to the range i is 2.

[0276] The priority value corresponding to the range ii is 1.

[0277] The priority value corresponding to the range iii is 0.

[0278] In some embodiments, determining the first priority L1 of the neighbor cell according to the second indication information further comprises:

[0279] determining a mapping set corresponding to the first modulation type, wherein different modulation types correspond to different mapping sets.

[0280] Optionally, the values of the offset ranges in the mapping set are agreed by a protocol or configured by a network device.

[0281] Optionally, the priority values corresponding to the offset ranges in the mapping set are agreed by a protocol or configured by a network device.

[0282] In some embodiments, the offset range corresponding to the same priority value in the first mapping set is lower than the offset range corresponding to the same priority value in the second mapping set, wherein the first mapping set is a mapping set corresponding to the OOK modulation type, and the second mapping set is a mapping set corresponding to the OFDM modulation type.

[0283] In an example:

[0284] The modulation type of the LR is the OOK modulation type, and the corresponding mapping set is the first mapping set A; the first mapping set A includes three offset ranges, which are: range i, range ii, and range iii. Each offset range corresponds to a priority value, specifically:

[0285] The priority value corresponding to the range i is 2;

[0286] The priority value corresponding to the range ii is 1;

[0287] The priority value corresponding to the range iii is 0.

[0288] Different offset ranges correspond to different energy saving signal coverage ranges. When the power of the energy saving wake-up signal exceeds the largest offset range, it can be considered that the power of the energy saving signal can support full cell coverage, that is, the terminal 101 can receive the energy saving signal no matter it is in the center or the edge of the cell.

[0289] The modulation type of the LR is the OFDM modulation type, and the corresponding mapping set is the second mapping set B; the second mapping set B includes three offset ranges, which are: range a, range b, and range c. Each offset range corresponds to a priority value, specifically:

[0290] The priority value corresponding to the range a is 2;

[0291] The priority value corresponding to the range b is 1;

[0292] The priority value corresponding to the range c is 0.

[0293] wherein the range i is greater than the range a, the range ii is greater than the range b, and the range iii is greater than the range c.

[0294] It should be noted that the range i is greater than the range a means that the maximum value in the range i is greater than the maximum value in the range a, and the minimum value in the range i is greater than the minimum value in the range a, or the maximum value in the range i is greater than the maximum value in the range a, and the minimum value in the range i is equal to the minimum value in the range a.

[0295] According to the example, it can be known that the offset range corresponding to the same priority value in the first mapping set A is higher than the offset range corresponding to the same priority value in the second mapping set B. Since the receiving sensitivities of the LR based on the OOK modulation and the LR based on the OFDM modulation are different, the offset ranges are respectively configured for the LR based on the OOK modulation and the LR based on the OFDM modulation, and the offset range required by the LR based on the OOK modulation is higher than the offset range of the LR based on the OFDM modulation.

[0296] Mode 2-2:

[0297] According to the frequency domain position indicated by the first indication information, it is determined that the second priority L2 of the neighbor cell is greater than or equal to the first threshold, and according to the power offset indicated by the second indication information, it is determined that the third priority L3 of the neighbor cell is positively correlated with the power offset.

[0298] In some embodiments, the third priority L3 is positively correlated with the power offset indicated by the second indication information means that the greater the power offset indicated by the second indication information, the greater the third priority L3, and similarly, the smaller the power offset indicated by the second indication information, the smaller the third priority L3.

[0299] The first priority L1 of the neighbor cell is determined as the sum of the second priority L2 and the third priority L3, that is, L1=L2+L3.

[0300] In some embodiments, when the sum of the second priority L2 and the third priority L3 is greater than the maximum value in the first value range, the first priority L1 of the neighbor cell is determined as the maximum value in the first value range.

[0301] In an example, the first value range can be a range agreed by a protocol, or can be a range configured by a network device.

[0302] In an example, the first value range can be the value range of CellReselectionPriority in system information.

[0303] In an example, the first value range can be [0-7].

[0304] In an example, the value range of the second priority L2 or the value range of the third priority L3 can be a range agreed by the protocol or a range configured by the network device.

[0305] In an example, the value range of the second priority L2 is the same as the first value range, or is a subset of the first value range.

[0306] In an example, the value range of the third priority L3 is the same as the first value range, or is a subset of the first value range.

[0307] In an example, the subset is agreed by the protocol or configured by the network device.

[0308] Optionally, the method for determining the second priority L2 of the neighbor cell is the same as the method for determining the first priority L1 of the neighbor cell in the mode 1-1 or the mode 1-2.

[0309] The method for determining the third priority L3 of the neighbor cell according to the power offset indicated by the second indication information is the same as the method for determining the first priority L1 of the neighbor cell in the mode 2-1.

[0310] In a third determination mode, the terminal 101 determines the first priority L1 of the neighbor cell according to the first indication information, the third indication information, and the energy saving capability of the terminal 101.

[0311] The third determination mode includes the following mode 3-1 and mode 3-2, wherein in the mode 3-1, one priority is determined, and the one priority is taken as the first priority, and in the mode 2-2, two priorities are determined, and the sum of the two priorities is taken as the first priority.

[0312] Mode 3-1:

[0313] The frequency domain position indicated by the first indication information is located in the first frequency band, and the first modulation type is the OFDM modulation type, and the first priority L1 of the neighbor cell is determined according to the third indication information.

[0314] In some embodiments, determining the first priority L1 of the neighbor cell according to the third indication information includes:

[0315] The energy saving signal of the neighbor cell includes the OFDM modulation superposition sequence, and the first priority L1 of the neighbor cell is determined to be a value higher than the first reference priority, and the first reference priority is the first priority of the neighbor cell whose energy saving signal does not include the OFDM modulation superposition sequence;

[0316] The energy saving signal of the neighbor cell does not include the OFDM modulation superposition sequence, and the first priority L1 of the neighbor cell is determined to be a value lower than a second reference priority, the second reference priority being the first priority of the neighbor cell whose energy saving signal includes the OFDM modulation superposition sequence.

[0317] In an example, the energy saving signal of one neighbor cell includes the OFDM modulation superposition sequence, and the first priority L1 of the neighbor cell is determined to be 0.4, and the energy saving signal of another neighbor cell includes the OFDM modulation superposition sequence, and the first priority L1 of the neighbor cell is determined to be 0.

[0318] According to the embodiment, the first priority L1 of the neighbor cell that transmits the OFDM modulation superposition sequence is higher than the first priority L1 of the neighbor cell that does not transmit the OFDM modulation superposition sequence.

[0319] Mode 3-2:

[0320] According to the frequency domain position indicated by the first indication information being located in the first frequency band, the second priority L2 of the neighbor cell is determined, the second priority L2 being greater than or equal to a first threshold value, and the fourth priority L4 of the neighbor cell is determined according to the third indication information.

[0321] The first priority of the neighbor cell is determined to be the sum of the second priority L2 and the fourth priority L4, that is, L1=L2+L4.

[0322] In some embodiments, when the sum of the second priority L2 and the fourth priority L4 is greater than the maximum value in the first value range, the first priority L1 of the neighbor cell is determined to be the maximum value in the first value range.

[0323] In an example, the first value range can be a range agreed by a protocol, or can be a range configured by a network device.

[0324] In an example, the first value range can be the value range of CellReselectionPriority in system information.

[0325] In an example, the first value range can be [0-7].

[0326] In an example, the value range of the second priority L2 or the value range of the fourth priority L4 can be a range agreed by a protocol, or can be a range configured by a network device.

[0327] In an example, the value range of the second priority L2 is the same as the first value range, or is a subset of the first value range.

[0328] In an example, the value range of the fourth priority L4 is the same as the first value range, or is a subset of the first value range.
