Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] (CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS) This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202111666562.6, filed in China on December 31, 2021, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. The present disclosure relates to the technical field of mobile communications, and in particular to a method and apparatus for scheduling discontinuous reception. [Background technology]
[0002] Packet-based data flows are usually bursty, and when there is no data transmission, the power consumption can be reduced by turning off the receiving circuit of the User Equipment (UE), so the Discontinuous Reception (DRX) technique is introduced. The basic mechanism of DRX is to configure a DRX cycle for a UE in an RRC connected state (RRC_CONNECTED). As shown in Figure 1, the DRX cycle usually includes an active time and / or On Duration and an inactive time. During an active period, the UE wakes up and monitors the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) (the active period may also be referred to as an activation period), whereas during an inactive period (Opportunity for DRX) the UE no longer receives the PDCCH but is able to receive data on other physical channels, e.g. the Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) and positive acknowledgements (ACKs) / negative acknowledgements (NACKs) (the inactive period may also be referred to as a sleep period).
[0003] The network can transmit the DRX parameters to the terminal via RRC connection reconfiguration (RRCconnectionReconfig) signaling or RRC connection establishment (RRCconnectionSetup). The DRX parameters usually include several basic timers. Among them, 1) onDurationTimer: the number of PDCCH subframes to be continuously monitored (i.e., the number of subframes for which the activation period lasts) counting from the start of one DRX cycle. 2) drx-InactivityTimer: the number of consecutive PDCCH subframes that are continuously in the activation state after the terminal successfully decodes one PDCCH indicating the first-transmitted uplink and downlink data. 3) drx-RetransmissionTimer: the number of PDCCH subframes to be continuously monitored from the subframe where the terminal expects to receive a downlink retransmission. 4) longDRX-CycleStartoffset: specifies the longDRX-cycle and drxstartoffset. 5) shortDRX-cycle: the number of subframes for which a shortDRX cycle lasts. 6) drxShortCycleTimer: Specifies how long the short DRX cycle is used by the terminal. The value is a multiple of the short DRX cycle.
[0004] The DRX configurations in related technologies are usually designed for each UE and are independent of factors such as service type and service propagation type, making it difficult to achieve accurate power saving effects. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0020] The following description provides examples and is not intended to limit the scope, applicability, or configuration of the claims. Changes may be made in the function and arrangement of the elements described without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. Various examples may omit, substitute, or add various procedures or components as appropriate.

[0021] In this specification, the term "service" may represent at least one of the following concepts: service, PDU session, Quality of Service (QoS) flow, stream, service data flow, radio bearer, and logical channel. The term "data" in this specification may represent a "data packet," a "Physical Uplink Share Channel transmission (PUSCH)," a "Physical Downlink Share Channel transmission (PDSCH)," a "data unit," or a "transmission." and "transmission block", etc.
[0022] The DRX configuration information of the related art is usually designed for each UE and is unrelated to factors such as service type and propagation type. In a scenario such as groupcast, unicast service and groupcast service are relatively independent, and the original purpose of the DRX technology is to enable the terminal to better save power without degrading the data transmission performance of the UE, i.e., without missing data transmission and reception. Therefore, there is a strong demand for a manner that can provide a more effective DRX mechanism for different service types, propagation types, etc.
[0023] In order to solve at least one of the above problems, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a scheduling method for discontinuous reception, and referring to FIG. 2, when applied to a first terminal side, the method includes the following steps 21 to 22:
[0024] Step 21 is to determine whether the first terminal has m sets of DRX configuration information (m is an integer equal to or greater than 1) configured by the network side, and the correspondence relationship of the m sets of DRX configuration information includes the following: m sets of DRX configuration information correspond to different propagation types; m sets of DRX configuration information correspond to different service types; m sets of DRX configuration information correspond to different scheduling schemes; m sets of DRX configuration information correspond to different frame types or data types of one service; The m sets of DRX configuration information correspond to different propagation directions of one service or different services, and the m sets of DRX configuration information include at least one corresponding relationship. Here, each set of DRX configuration information typically includes the configuration of a DRX period and associated timers.
[0025] Step 22 is for the first terminal to receive and / or transmit data according to the m sets of DRX configuration information.
[0026] Through the above steps, the embodiment of the present disclosure introduces DRX configuration information corresponding to elements such as service propagation type, service type, scheduling method, frame type or data type, service propagation direction, etc., and the network side equipment configures corresponding DRX configuration information for the terminal based on the above elements, so as to realize more accurate discontinuous reception and help achieve better power saving effect.
[0027] For example, current communication networks support more abundant service propagation types, such as groupcast and unicast. Different propagation types have different operations of the core network and / or radio access network. The embodiments of the present disclosure introduce DRX configuration information corresponding to different propagation types, which can realize a more granular DRX configuration than the related art, and the terminal can select a corresponding DRX scheme according to the service it is interested in and realize active and inactive periods in the DRX scheme, thereby realizing more precise power saving.
[0028] As another example, current communication networks support more abundant service types, with different QoS requirements, and different arrival times and arrival periods of the services. The embodiments of the present disclosure introduce DRX configuration information corresponding to different service types, which can realize more granular DRX configuration than related art, and thus realize more precise power saving.
[0029] As another example, in semi-static scheduling such as Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SPS) or CG, data is usually scrambled using a Configured Scheduling RNTI (CS-RNTI), whereas in dynamic scheduling, data is usually scrambled using a Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI). The embodiments of the present disclosure introduce DRX configuration information corresponding to different scheduling methods, thereby realizing a more granular DRX configuration than the related art, and the UE can achieve more precise power saving in the PDCCH. For example, if the terminal monitors only the PDCCH scrambled by the CS-RNTI in the active period indicated by the first set of DRX configuration information, and monitors only the PDCCH scrambled by the C-RNTI in the active period indicated by the second set of DRX configuration information, a more precise discontinuous reception can be realized, and a better power saving effect can be achieved.
[0030] As yet another example, for the services themselves supported by the current communication network, different data flows and different frames may have different QoS requirements, different importance, and different arrival times and arrival periods of the services. The embodiment of the present disclosure introduces DRX configuration information corresponding to different frame types or data types of the services, thereby realizing a more granular DRX configuration than the related art, so that different power saving modes can be set according to the characteristics of different frames, and more precise power saving is possible. For example, for a service for XR, if the terminal only monitors the data of the P frame of XR during the active period indicated by the first set of DRX configuration information, the terminal only monitors the data of the I frame of XR during the active period indicated by the second set of DRX configuration information, and the terminal only monitors the data of the Real-time Control Protocol (RTCP) feedback of XR during the active period indicated by the third set of DRX configuration information, a more precise discontinuous reception is realized, and a better power saving effect is achieved.
[0031] As another example, the type of service supported by the previous communication network was relatively single, and high requirements for performance (e.g., delay, reliability, etc.) were not required, and interactions between many services were performed at the application layer. As such, the high processing hierarchy resulted in high delay, large jitter, and high waste of radio resources. In the situation where the current communication network supports richer service types and there are clear interaction relationships between many services, the embodiment of the present disclosure configures DRX configuration information corresponding to different propagation directions, so that different power saving modes can be set according to different propagation directions of one service or different services, enabling more precise power saving. For example, one service is an uplink service responsible for transmitting data from the device to the network side, and the other service is a downlink service responsible for feeding back some received information by the application layer on the network side and / or delivering some control commands and other information. There is a clear time relationship between these two services. For example, the start position of the active period of the service in the uplink direction is earlier than the start position of the active period of the service in the downlink direction by a time length T1, and the period value of the active period of the service in the uplink direction is half the period value of the active period of the service in the downlink direction. In this case, if DRX configuration information corresponding to different propagation directions is introduced, more accurate discontinuous reception can be realized and better power saving effect can be achieved.
[0032] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, among the m sets of DRX configuration information, at least b sets of DRX configuration information may have an association relationship, where b is an integer greater than 1 and equal to or less than m. Specifically, the association relationship between the at least b sets of DRX configuration information may be transmitted from a network side to the first terminal via signaling, or may be predefined (e.g., defined or pre-agreed in a related protocol), or may be transmitted from an upper layer of the first terminal (e.g., an application layer, or another protocol layer or function layer above RRC) to a radio access layer of the first terminal.
[0033] In the above step 22, the first terminal receives and / or transmits data according to the m sets of DRX configuration information and the association relationship between at least b sets of DRX configuration information among the m sets of DRX configuration information.
[0034] Specifically, the association relationships between the at least b sets of DRX configuration information include at least one of the following association relationships 1) to 4). 1) After receiving or transmitting data and / or signaling of the t-th service within an active period indicated by the i-th set of DRX configuration information among the m sets of DRX configuration information, an inactivity timer of the j-th set of DRX configuration information corresponding to the u-th service is started after a specified time or immediately, and the data and / or signaling of the u-th service is received and / or the data and / or signaling of the u-th service is waited for. 2) After receiving or transmitting data and / or signaling of the t-th service within an active period indicated by the i-th set of DRX configuration information among the m sets of DRX configuration information, enter the active period of the j-th set of DRX configuration information corresponding to the u-th service after a specified time or immediately, and receive data and / or signaling of the u-th service and / or wait for reception of data and / or signaling of the u-th service. 3) After receiving or transmitting data and / or signaling of the t-th service within an active period indicated by the i-th set of DRX configuration information among the m sets of DRX configuration information, starting the always-on timer of the j-th set of DRX configuration information corresponding to the u-th service after a specified time or immediately, and receiving the data and / or signaling of the u-th service and / or waiting for the reception of the data and / or signaling of the u-th service. 4) After receiving or transmitting data and / or signaling of the t-th service within an active period indicated by the i-th set of DRX configuration information among the m sets of DRX configuration information, perform at least one of starting an inactivity timer of the j-th set of DRX configuration information corresponding to the u-th service, starting an always-on timer of the j-th set of DRX configuration information, and entering an active period of the j-th set of DRX configuration information according to the data arrival characteristics and / or service performance requirements of the associated u-th service, and receive the data and / or signaling of the u-th service and / or wait for reception of the data and / or signaling of the u-th service.
[0035] For example, the terminal transmits one uplink service (assumed to be service t) within an active period indicated by the i-th set of DRX configuration information, which is responsible for transmitting data from the device to the network side, and then the terminal enters the active period indicated by the j-th set of DRX configuration information corresponding to the service u (or starts a deactivation timer and / or an onduration timer, etc.) according to a clear time relationship (e.g., the start position of the active period of the uplink service is earlier than the start position of the active period of the downlink service by a time length T1) between the uplink service and another downlink service (assumed to be service u, which is responsible for feeding back some received information by the application layer on the network side and / or delivering some information such as control commands) corresponding to the uplink service, and receives data of the service u and / or waits to receive data of the service u.
[0036] Here, the "specified time" described in this specification may be a pre-promised time, a time configured by the network side, or a time determined by a higher layer of the terminal. The "immediately" start means that the corresponding timer is started immediately upon receiving or transmitting data and / or signaling of the t-th service. The inactivity timer is drx-InactivityTimer, the active period is an On Duration period or an active time period within a DRX cycle, and the always-on timer is onDurationTimer, which is for indicating the number of consecutive subframes for which PDCCH monitoring is required (i.e., the number of subframes for which the activation period lasts), counting from the start subframe of the DRX cycle.
[0037] It should also be noted that any references herein such as i-th set, j-th set, t-th service, u-th service, etc. are used to distinguish between similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a particular order or chronology.
[0038] Optionally, the association relationships between the at least b sets of DRX configuration information may include at least one of the following 1) to 4). 1) After receiving or transmitting data and / or signaling of the vth type in the qth service within an active period indicated by the hth set of DRX configuration information among the m sets of DRX configuration information, an inactivity timer of the zth set of DRX configuration information corresponding to the data and / or signaling of the uth type in the qth service is started after a specified time or immediately, and the data and / or signaling of the uth type in the qth service is received and / or the data and / or signaling of the uth type in the qth service is waited for. 2) After receiving or transmitting data and / or signaling of the vth type in the qth service within an active period indicated by the hth set of DRX configuration information among the m sets of DRX configuration information, enter the active period of the zth set of DRX configuration information corresponding to the uth type in the qth service after a specified time or immediately, and receive data and / or signaling of the uth type in the qth service and / or wait for reception of data and / or signaling of the uth type in the qth service. 3) After receiving or transmitting data and / or signaling of the vth type in the qth service within an active period indicated by the hth set of DRX configuration information among the m sets of DRX configuration information, after a specified time or immediately, starting an always-on timer of the zth set of DRX configuration information corresponding to the uth type in the first service, and receiving data and / or signaling of the uth type in the qth service and / or waiting for reception of data and / or signaling of the uth type in the qth service. 4) After receiving or transmitting data and / or signaling of the vth type in the qth service within an active period indicated by the hth set of DRX configuration information among the m sets of DRX configuration information, in accordance with service performance requirements such as data arrival characteristics and / or delay of the uth type in the related qth service, at least one of starting an inactivity timer of the zth set of DRX configuration information corresponding to the uth type in the qth service, starting an always-on timer of the zth set of DRX configuration information, and entering the active period of the zth set of DRX configuration information, to receive the data and / or signaling of the uth type in the qth service and / or wait for reception of the data and / or signaling of the uth type in the qth service.
[0039] For example, the qth service is a service for XR, and the terminal monitors only the P frame data of XR (the vth type data and / or signaling) during the active period indicated by the hth set of DRX configuration information, and the terminal determines, according to the time relationship between the P frame data and the I frame data, the position of the frequency domain resource, the position of the beam, and other relationships, that after a specified time or immediately, it will enter the active period indicated by the zth set of DRX configuration information corresponding to the uth type (I frame of the XR service) of the service for XR (or starts a deactivation timer and / or an onduration timer, etc.), receive the I frame data of the XR service, and / or wait for the reception of the I frame data of the XR service, and after the I frame data is received, after a specified time or immediately, it enters the active period indicated by the bth set of DRX configuration information corresponding to the RTCP feedback of the service for XR (or starts a deactivation timer and / or an onduration timer, etc.), receive the RTCP feedback data of the XR service, and / or wait for the reception of the RTCP feedback data of the XR service.
[0040] For example, when the m sets of DRX configuration information correspond to different propagation types, the m sets of DRX configuration information include a first set of DRX configuration information corresponding to a groupcast mode and a second set of DRX configuration information corresponding to a unicast mode. The association relationship between the at least b sets of DRX configuration information includes that the first set of DRX configuration information and the second set of DRX configuration information are associated with each other. For example, the first terminal may receive new transmission data of the target service transmitted from the network side in the groupcast mode based on the first set of DRX configuration information, while receiving retransmission data of the target service transmitted from the network side in the unicast mode based on the second set of DRX configuration information associated with the first set of DRX configuration information.
[0041] In this way, in the above step 22, the first terminal receives new transmission data of a multicast service sent from a network side device based on the first set of DRX configuration information, and is capable of determining a receiving method for retransmission data, which includes a multicast receiving method and / or a unicast receiving method, before or at the time of receiving the new transmission data.
[0042] When the first terminal fails to receive the new transmission data, it monitors PDCCH scheduling signaling corresponding to the retransmission data and receives the retransmission data in a reception method for the retransmission data, in which, when a multicast reception method is used, it receives the retransmission data scrambled by a multicast radio network temporary identifier (G-RNTI) and / or a group configured scheduling RNTI (G-CS-RNTI) based on a first set of DRX configuration information, and when a unicast reception method is used, it receives the retransmission data scrambled by the C-RNTI and / or CS-RNTI based on a second set of DRX configuration information.
[0043] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the first terminal determines the receiving method of the retransmission data, the first terminal may determine the receiving method of the retransmission data according to the instruction information of the retransmission method of the new transmission data, whereby, when the retransmission method is a point-to-multipoint (PTM) method, the receiving method is a multicast receiving method, when the retransmission method is a point-to-point (PTP) method, the receiving method is a unicast receiving method, and when the retransmission method is a PTP method and a PTM method, the receiving method is a multicast receiving method and a unicast receiving method.
[0044] In addition, the first terminal may extract instruction information of a retransmission mode of the new transmission data from a scheduling command for scheduling the new transmission data of the multicast service. When the retransmission mode is not instructed from a network side, for example, when the scheduling command for the new transmission data does not include instruction information of the retransmission mode, the first terminal may determine that the reception mode of the retransmission data is a multicast reception mode and a unicast reception mode.
[0045] When a multicast reception method is used, receiving retransmission data scrambled by a multicast Radio Network Temporary Identifier (G-RNTI) and / or a G-CS-RNTI based on the first set of DRX configuration information may specifically include starting a multicast round trip delay (HARQ RTT) timer, and when the multicast HARQ RTT timer times out, starting monitoring the retransmission data scrambled by the G-RNTI and / or G-CS-RNTI, and starting a corresponding multicast retransmission timer.
[0046] Wherein, HARQ, i.e., Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest, stands for hybrid automatic repeat request, and RTT, i.e., Round Trip Time, stands for round trip time. When a unicast receiving mode is used, receiving retransmission data scrambled by the C-RNTI and / or CS-RNTI based on the second set of DRX configuration information may specifically include starting a unicast HARQ RTT timer, and when the unicast HARQ RTT timer times out, starting to monitor the retransmission data scrambled by the C-RNTI and / or CS-RNTI, and starting a corresponding unicast retransmission timer.
[0047] The above method of the embodiments of the present disclosure can also be applied to carrier aggregation scenarios, for example, when the first terminal communicates with a network side device using a carrier aggregation method, in this case, when a unicast reception method is used, receiving retransmission data scrambled by the C-RNTI and / or CS-RNTI based on the second set of DRX configuration information further includes determining a target carrier and / or target BWP to be monitored according to indication information of a carrier and / or partial bandwidth (BWP) resource related to the retransmission data, and monitoring the retransmission data scrambled by the C-RNTI and / or CS-RNTI on the target carrier and / or target BWP.
[0048] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the new transmission data and the retransmission data of the multicast service may be transmitted from different network side devices. For example, the new transmission data of the multicast service is transmitted from a first network side device, whereas the retransmission data is transmitted from a second network side device. When the first terminal monitors the retransmission data scrambled by the C-RNTI and / or CS-RNTI based on a second set of DRX configuration information, the first terminal may receive the retransmission data scrambled by the C-RNTI and / or CS-RNTI transmitted from the second network side device based on the second set of DRX configuration information.
[0049] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first terminal receiving and / or transmitting data according to the m sets of DRX configuration information and the association relationship between at least b sets of DRX configuration information among the m sets of DRX configuration information includes at least one of the following methods 1) to 2). 1) After the first terminal receives data and / or signaling of the t-th service transmitted from a network side device in accordance with the i-th set of DRX configuration information, after a specified time or immediately, starts an inactivity timer of the j-th set of DRX configuration information corresponding to the u-th service, and receives data of the u-th service and / or waits for reception of data of the u-th service. 2) The first terminal receives data and / or signaling of the t-th service transmitted from the network side device in accordance with the i-th set of DRX configuration information, and, before receiving the data and / or signaling of the t-th service transmitted from the network side device or when receiving the data and / or signaling of the t-th service transmitted from the network side device, obtains a j-th set of DRX configuration information corresponding to the u-th service related to the t-th service corresponding to the i-th set of DRX configuration information, starts an inactivity timer of the j-th set of DRX configuration information using the j-th set of DRX configuration information, receives data of the u-th service and / or waits for reception of data of the u-th service.
[0050] In order to realize a more flexible DRX configuration, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the network side may more flexibly and quickly update the time information of a certain set (assumed to be the kth set) of the m sets of DRX configuration information as necessary. In this case, the first terminal receives a first signaling transmitted from the network side, the first signaling being for updating the time information of the kth set of DRX configuration information of the m sets of DRX configuration information. The first signaling may include at least one of an RRC signaling, a Media Access Control Control Element (MAC CE), and a PDCCH control signaling. Then, the first terminal updates the start position information and / or periodicity information of the active period in the kth set of DRX configuration information according to the first signaling.
[0051] For example, in some services (e.g., Extended Reality (XR) services), if a periodicity value in the time information of a service corresponding to a logical channel does not match a periodicity value of a related fifth-generation mobile communication technology (5th-Generation 5G) network, for example, if the periodicity value in the time information of a service corresponding to a logical channel and the periodicity value in the time information of a service corresponding to an effective periodicity logical channel of a DRX radio resource are not an integer divisor of a radio frame cycle period of 10240 ms, this may lead to a problem that after several DRX periods (e.g., after the SFN number has cycled once), the transmission opportunity, i.e., the offset value calculated by resource computing in the related technology does not match the time when an actual service packet is required to be transmitted. In this case, it is possible to solve this problem by updating the starting position of the DRX radio resource, or it is also possible to better adapt the use of radio resources to such complex service characteristics by setting such a multi-stage DRX configuration.
[0052] Specifically, the time information updated by the first signaling is related to time information of a target service corresponding to a target logical channel, and the target logical channel is a logical channel corresponding to the kth set of DRX configuration information. The time information updated by the first signaling may include at least one of clock information and an offset value (delta value) of previous clock information. The time information of the target service is: 1) Time information in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), 2) The offset between UTC and the Global Positioning System (GPS) clock, 3) Information on the relationship between daylight saving time and local time; 4) The offset between UTC and local time, 5) The offset between UTC and a particular network; and 6) The mapping relationship between UTC and system frame number (SFN) 7) an indication of whether it is the main clock; and 8) Clock level information, 9) offset information between a reference time of a particular clock type; and 10) Clock synchronization accuracy information; 11) Clock synchronization granularity information; 12) Information that is poorly synchronized; 13) Clock type information; 14) Reference time information; 15) an indication of a location of the received signaling relative to the reference time information; 16) Clock time update period information. Here, the reference time information further includes at least one of radio frame information of a reference system, reference subframe information, reference slot information, and reference time symbol information.
[0053] In order to realize a more flexible DRX configuration, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first terminal may actively update time information of a set (assumed to be the nth set) of DRX configuration information among the m sets of DRX configuration information, for example, when a time offset between a start position of an active period of the nth set of DRX configuration information among the m sets of DRX configuration information and an actual data transmission time of a service reaches a predetermined first threshold, the first terminal adjusts a DRX period and / or a start position in the nth set of DRX configuration information.
[0054] Before the first terminal actively updates the time information of a certain set (assumed to be the nth set) of DRX configuration information among the m sets of DRX configuration information, the first terminal needs to obtain the time information of the service corresponding to the s set of DRX configuration information, and then determines to update the time information of a certain set (assumed to be the nth set) of DRX configuration information among the m sets of DRX configuration information according to the time information of the service corresponding to the s set of DRX configuration information. Specifically, the time information of the service includes: 1) Transmission time information of the data packet; 2) arrival time information of data packets, and transmission period information of data packets; 3) transmission duration information of one period of a data packet; and 4) length information of the data packet; and 5) information about the length of time that the data packet will reside in the cache; and 6) Time to live information of the data packet; 7) Transmission status information of the first y (y is a positive integer) data packets among the data packets; and 8) delay requirements for data packets; and 9) The value of k for the HARQ timing of the data packet; 10) reliability requirements for data packets; and 11) A Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) that matches the data packet scheduling; and 12) a transmission power requirement of the data packet.
[0055] The embodiment of the present disclosure also introduces a valid period and an invalid period into the DRX configuration information, and during the valid period, the operation related to discontinuous reception can be normally performed, and during the radio period, the operation related to discontinuous reception is stopped. For example, the first terminal may obtain time information of the valid period and time information of the invalid period of a certain set (assumed to be the sth set) of the DRX configuration information of the m sets of DRX configuration information. During the period indicated by the time information of the valid period of the DRX configuration information of the s set, data and / or signaling are transmitted or received during the active period of the valid period, and during the period indicated by the time information of the invalid period of the DRX configuration information of the s set, at least one of the data and / or signaling is stopped from being transmitted or received. That is, the first terminal normally performs the process of discontinuous reception during the period of the valid period indicated by the time information of the valid period, and suspends the process of discontinuous reception during the period of the invalid period indicated by the time information of the invalid period.
[0056] As one implementation method, the first terminal may obtain time information of the valid period and time information of the invalid period of the sth set of DRX configuration information by receiving time information of the valid period and time information of the invalid period of the kth set of DRX configuration information configured by a network side device via RRC dedicated signaling.
[0057] As another method for acquiring the valid period time information and the invalid period time information, the first terminal may acquire the time information of the service corresponding to the s set of DRX configuration information, and then determine the valid period time information and the invalid period time information of the s set of DRX configuration information according to the time information of the service corresponding to the s set of DRX configuration information. Specifically, the service time information may include: 1) Transmission time information of the data packet; 2) arrival time information of data packets, and transmission period information of data packets; 3) transmission duration information of one period of a data packet; and 4) length information of the data packet; and 5) information about the length of time that the data packet will reside in the cache; and 6) Time to live information of the data packet; 7) transmission status information of the first n (n is a positive integer) data packets of the data packet; and 8) delay requirements for data packets; and 9) The value of k for the HARQ timing of the data packet; 10) reliability requirements for data packets; and 11) A Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) that matches the data packet scheduling; and 12) a transmission power requirement of the data packet.
[0058] The time information of the service mentioned above may be transmitted to the UE from the core network or the radio access network via signaling, may be defined in a protocol, and may be notified to the radio access layer of the terminal from an upper layer of the terminal (e.g., an application layer or other protocol layer or function layer above RRC), and may further be notified to the terminal from an artificial intelligence control function body.
[0059] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the first terminal needs to receive a plurality of multicast services transmitted from the network side device, the first terminal may include a plurality of small DRX cycles in one large DRX cycle to form multi-stage DRX configuration information. For example, a first DRX cycle in a p-th set of DRX configuration information among the m sets of DRX configuration information includes x second DRX cycles, and the configurations corresponding to the x second DRX cycles are different or partially the same or have a corresponding relationship, and may specifically include at least one of the following methods 1) to 3). 1) The period values of the x second DRX periods are the same or different. 2) The start positions of the active periods corresponding to the x second DRX cycles are explicitly indicated or have a corresponding relationship, for example, there is a time relationship between data transmission and / or reception of different streams. 3) The settings of at least one corresponding value among a deactivation timer, a retransmission timer, and an activation timer in the x second DRX periods are the same or different.
[0060] The introduction of the above multi-stage DRX configuration information provides the following beneficial effects a) and b). a) Some services (e.g. XR services and vehicle to everything (V2X) services) include different service flows and / or streams, which have different transmission periods, delay / jitter performance requirements, and transmitted packet sizes, and which further constitute an XR or V2X service. Setting such a multi-stage DRX configuration allows the radio resource usage to be better adapted to such complex service characteristics. b) In some services (e.g., XR service), if the periodicity value in the time information of the service corresponding to the logical channel does not match the periodicity value of the 5G network of the related technology, for example, the periodicity value in the time information of the service corresponding to the logical channel and the valid periodicity value of the DRX radio resource are not an integer divisor of the cycle period of the radio frame (10240 ms), after several DRX cycles (e.g., after the SFN number has cycled once (warps around)), it may lead to a problem that the transmission opportunity, i.e., the offset value calculated by the resource computing of the related technology does not match the time when the actual service packet is required to be transmitted. In this case, it is possible to solve this problem by updating the starting position of the DRX radio resource. By setting such a multi-stage DRX configuration, it is possible to better adapt the use of the active period / inactive period of the radio resource to such complex service characteristics.
[0061] Specifically, one multicast DRX cycle is constituted by the DRX cycles of the x multicast services, the first DRX cycle is the multicast DRX cycle, and the DRX cycle of each multicast service among the x multicast services corresponds to one of the x second DRX cycles.
[0062] The p sets of DRX configuration information include at least one of the multicast DRX cycle, the position of the DRX cycle of each multicast service within the multicast DRX cycle, the DRX configuration information of each multicast service, the G-RNTI corresponding to each multicast service, information on whether the PTM transmission method corresponding to each multicast service enables HARQ feedback, and information on whether the PTM transmission method corresponding to each multicast service enables HARQ retransmission. In this case, in the above step 22, the first terminal may receive data of each multicast service according to the p sets of DRX configuration information.
[0063] The above method will be further described below by taking an example in which a base station configures DRX configuration information corresponding to a unicast service and an MBS service for a terminal.
[0064] In this example, the base station configures different DRX configurations and corresponding timers for the UE's unicast service and Multicast Broadcast Service (MBS) service, respectively, and sends two sets of DRX configuration information corresponding to the unicast service and the MBS service, respectively, to the UE.
[0065] The UE receives the above two sets of DRX configuration information sent from the base station, and in a normal case, the UE receives data and starts the corresponding timer in the activation state of the DRX configurations respectively configured for unicast service and MBS service, i.e., during the unicast active period (on duration), the UE only turns on monitoring of the PDCCH scrambled by the C-RNTI, and during the groupcast on duration, the UE only turns on monitoring of the PDCCH scrambled by the G-RNTI.
[0066] As shown in Fig. 3, if the UE only turns on monitoring of the PDCCH scrambled by G-RNTI1 during the on duration of groupcast, then a scheduling command for new transmission data of one MBS service is received, and the scheduling command carries indication information, which is for indicating a retransmission method, such as PTM retransmission and / or PTP retransmission, to be used by the base station when the new transmission data of the MBS service fails to be received. If the scheduling command does not carry indication information of the retransmission method, the terminal considers that both of the above two retransmission methods are possible.
[0067] If the new transmission of groupcast data of the MBS service is successfully received, the unicast-DRX remains in the original state, i.e., the UE only turns on monitoring of the PDCCH scrambled by the C-RNTI. On the other hand, if the new transmission of groupcast data is unsuccessful, the unicast-DRX remains in the original state, and the UE starts the HARQ RTT-multicast timer and / or the HARQ RTT-unicast timer according to the instruction by the base station command, and after any one of the timers times out, the UE starts monitoring the retransmission data according to the timer that has timed out, e.g., if the HARQ RTT-multicast timer times out, it monitors the retransmission data scrambled by the G-RNTI, and / or if the HARQ RTT-unicast timer times out, it monitors the retransmission data scrambled by the C-RNTI, and at the same time starts the corresponding retransmission timer, e.g., the groupcast retransmission timer and / or the unicast retransmission timer, according to the timer that has timed out.
[0068] Also, in the case of a carrier aggregation scenario, the base station may instruct the UE on which carrier it needs to monitor the unicast DRX timing and carrier / BWP resources associated with the packet of groupcast data.
[0069] In this way, in this example, it is supported to configure DRX configurations separately for unicast and groupcast, thereby achieving power saving effects and avoiding the problem that the independent DRX design cannot support the transmission of new transmission data via the PTM method or the transmission of retransmission data via PTP.
[0070] In this example, if there are multiple MBS services that need to be received by the UE and the time formats are different, the period and the time of the starting position may be designed to add a degree of distinction of G-RNTI, for example, the period is 10 ms, and in the first 10 ms, PDCCH monitoring using G-RNTI1 / G-RNTI2 is turned on, in the next 20 ms, PDCCH monitoring using G-RNTI3 is turned on, and in the following 20 ms, PDCCH monitoring using G-RNTI4 is turned on, forming one large cycle period of 50 ms in total. Then, the base station uses a DCI command to instruct the UE on information on whether the PTMs corresponding to different G-RNTIs enable HARQ feedback or HARQ retransmission. If it is instructed to prohibit HARQ feedback or HARQ retransmission, the UE may automatically prohibit the start of the DRX-HARQ-RTT-TIMER-DL and DL retransmission timers (or automatically set the values of these two timers to "0"), i.e., may cause an error in receiving packets of the G-RNTI.
[0071] Also, if a UE receives MBS from base station 1 and unicast services from base station 2, the DRX configuration information of the UE needs to be exchanged between these two base stations.
[0072] In this example, if the time-frequency period of the MBS service and the period of the DRX available in 5G are not integers, such as industrial control commands in a factory, the period of the MBS DRX may deviate from the actual data transmission time of the service after a certain period of time. The UE may automatically adjust the transmission period / start position of the MBS-DRX according to the format information of the MBS service when the deviation between the effective transmission time of the DRX and the actual data transmission time of the service reaches a certain threshold. In addition, when the base station needs to retransmit PTM data using PTP to save power, the UE also needs to automatically adjust the transmission period / start position of the unicast-DRX.
[0073] Referring to FIG. 4, the scheduling method for non-connection reception according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, when applied to a first network side device, includes the following steps 41 to 42.
[0074] In step 41, the first network side device transmits m (m is an integer equal to or greater than 1) sets of DRX configuration information to the first terminal, and the correspondence relationship of the m sets of DRX configuration information includes the following: m sets of DRX configuration information correspond to different propagation types; m sets of DRX configuration information correspond to different service types; m sets of DRX configuration information correspond to different scheduling schemes; m sets of DRX configuration information correspond to different frame types or data types of one service; The m sets of DRX configuration information correspond to different propagation directions of one service or different services, and the m sets of DRX configuration information include at least one corresponding relationship.
[0075] Step 42 is for the first network side device to receive and / or transmit data according to the m sets of DRX configuration information.
[0076] Through the above steps, the embodiments of the present disclosure introduce DRX configuration information corresponding to elements such as service propagation type, service type, scheduling method, frame type or data type, and service propagation direction. Based on the above elements, the network side equipment can configure corresponding DRX configuration information for the terminal, which can realize more accurate discontinuous reception and help achieve better power saving effect.
[0077] In the above step 42, the first network side device may receive and / or transmit data according to the m sets of DRX configuration information and an association relationship between at least b (b is an integer greater than 1 and equal to or less than m) sets of DRX configuration information among the m sets of DRX configuration information, where the association relationship between the at least b sets of DRX configuration information is configured by a network side, or is predefined, or is transmitted from the first terminal to the first network side device.
[0078] Specifically, the association relationships between the at least b sets of DRX configuration information include at least one of the following association relationships 1) to 8). 1) After receiving or transmitting data and / or signaling of the t-th service within an active period indicated by the i-th set of DRX configuration information among the m sets of DRX configuration information, an inactivity timer of the j-th set of DRX configuration information corresponding to the u-th service is started after a specified time or immediately, and the data and / or signaling of the u-th service is received and / or the data and / or signaling of the u-th service is waited for. 2) After receiving or transmitting data and / or signaling of the t-th service within an active period indicated by the i-th set of DRX configuration information among the m sets of DRX configuration information, enter the active period of the j-th set of DRX configuration information corresponding to the u-th service after a specified time or immediately, and receive data and / or signaling of the u-th service and / or wait for reception of data and / or signaling of the u-th service. 3) After receiving or transmitting data and / or signaling of the t-th service within an active period indicated by the i-th set of DRX configuration information among the m sets of DRX configuration information, starting the always-on timer of the j-th set of DRX configuration information corresponding to the u-th service after a specified time or immediately, and receiving the data and / or signaling of the u-th service and / or waiting for the reception of the data and / or signaling of the u-th service. 4) After receiving or transmitting data and / or signaling of the t-th service within an active period indicated by the i-th set of DRX configuration information among the m sets of DRX configuration information, perform at least one of starting an inactivity timer of the j-th set of DRX configuration information corresponding to the u-th service, starting an always-on timer of the j-th set of DRX configuration information, and entering an active period of the j-th set of DRX configuration information according to the data arrival characteristics and / or service performance requirements of the associated u-th service, and receive the data and / or signaling of the u-th service and / or wait for reception of the data and / or signaling of the u-th service. 5) After receiving or transmitting data and / or signaling of the vth type in the qth service within an active period indicated by the hth set of DRX configuration information among the m sets of DRX configuration information, starting an inactivity timer of the zth set of DRX configuration information corresponding to the data and / or signaling of the uth type in the qth service after a specified time or immediately, and receiving the data and / or signaling of the uth type in the qth service and / or waiting for the reception of the data and / or signaling of the uth type in the qth service. 6) After receiving or transmitting data and / or signaling of the vth type in the qth service within an active period indicated by the hth set of DRX configuration information among the m sets of DRX configuration information, enter the active period of the zth set of DRX configuration information corresponding to the uth type in the qth service after a specified time or immediately, and receive data and / or signaling of the uth type in the qth service and / or wait for reception of data and / or signaling of the uth type in the qth service. 7) After receiving or transmitting data and / or signaling of the vth type in the qth service within an active period indicated by the hth set of DRX configuration information among the m sets of DRX configuration information, after a specified time period or immediately, starting an always-on timer of the zth set of DRX configuration information corresponding to the uth type in the first service, and receiving data and / or signaling of the uth type in the qth service and / or waiting for reception of data and / or signaling of the uth type in the qth service. 8) After receiving or transmitting data and / or signaling of the vth type in the qth service within an active period indicated by the hth set of DRX configuration information among the m sets of DRX configuration information, in accordance with service performance requirements such as data arrival characteristics and / or delay of the uth type in the related qth service, perform at least one of starting an inactivity timer of the zth set of DRX configuration information corresponding to the uth type in the qth service, starting an always-on timer of the zth set of DRX configuration information, and entering the active period of the zth set of DRX configuration information, to receive the data and / or signaling of the uth type in the qth service and / or wait for reception of the data and / or signaling of the uth type in the qth service.
[0079] For example, when the m sets of DRX configuration information correspond to different propagation types, the m sets of DRX configuration information may include a first set of DRX configuration information corresponding to a groupcast mode and a second set of DRX configuration information corresponding to a unicast mode, and the association relationship between the at least b sets of DRX configuration information includes that the first set of DRX configuration information and the second set of DRX configuration information are associated with each other.
[0080] In this case, in step 42, The first network side device may transmit new transmission data of a multicast service according to a first set of DRX configuration information, and may determine a retransmission method for the retransmission data before or at the time of transmitting the new transmission data, the retransmission method including a PTM method and / or a PTP method.
[0081] In addition, when the first terminal fails to receive the new transmission data, the first network side device transmits retransmission data corresponding to the new transmission data to the first terminal using a retransmission method for the retransmission data, and when the PTM method is used, transmits retransmission data scrambled by a multicast radio network temporary identifier (G-RNTI) and / or a G-CS-RNTI based on a first set of DRX configuration information, and when the PTP method is used, transmits retransmission data scrambled by the C-RNTI and / or CS-RNTI based on a second set of DRX configuration information.
[0082] Alternatively, the first network side device may carry indication information of a retransmission method of the new transmission data in a scheduling command for scheduling new transmission data of the multicast service, so as to assist the terminal in determining a reception method of the retransmission data.
[0083] In addition, the first terminal may communicate with the first network side device through a carrier aggregation scheme. In this case, when the base station uses a PTP scheme, when transmitting retransmission data scrambled by the C-RNTI and / or CS-RNTI according to the second set of DRX configuration information, the base station may send indication information of carriers and / or fractional bandwidth (BWP) resources associated with the retransmission data to the first terminal, so that a monitored target carrier and / or target BWP is determined by the first terminal.
[0084] Optionally, in the above step 42, the first network side device receives and / or transmits data according to the m sets of DRX configuration information and the association relationship between at least b sets of DRX configuration information among the m sets of DRX configuration information; 1) after the first network side device transmits data and / or signaling of the t-th service according to the i-th set of DRX configuration information, after a designated time or immediately, starts an inactivity timer of the j-th set of DRX configuration information corresponding to the u-th service, and transmits data of the u-th service and / or waits for transmission of data of the u-th service; The first network side device may include at least one of the following methods: transmitting data and / or signaling for the t-th service in accordance with the i-th set of DRX configuration information; and, before transmitting the data and / or signaling for the t-th service or at the time of transmitting the data and / or signaling for the t-th service, obtaining a j-th set of DRX configuration information corresponding to the u-th service related to the t-th service corresponding to the i-th set of DRX configuration information, using the j-th set of DRX configuration information, starting an inactivity timer for the j-th set of DRX configuration information, transmitting data for the u-th service and / or waiting for transmission of the data for the u-th service.
[0085] In addition, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, when transmitting the retransmission data, the first network side device may transmit the retransmission data directly to the terminal, or may transmit the retransmission data scrambled by the C-RNTI and / or CS-RNTI via the second network side device.
[0086] In order to realize a more flexible DRX configuration, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first network side device may send a first signaling to the first terminal for updating time information of the kth set of DRX configuration information among the m sets of DRX configuration information, where the first signaling includes at least one of RRC signaling, MAC CE, and PDCCH control signaling.
[0087] Here, the time information updated by the first signaling relates to time information of a target service corresponding to a target logical channel, and the target logical channel is a logical channel corresponding to the kth set of DRX configuration information.
[0088] Specifically, as one implementation method, when the time deviation between the start position of the active period of the kth set of DRX configuration information and the actual data transmission time of the service reaches a predetermined first threshold, the first network side device adjusts the DRX period and / or start position in the kth set of DRX configuration information, and sends the first signaling.
[0089] Optionally, the embodiment of the present disclosure also introduces an effective period and an invalid period. In this case, the first network side device may obtain time information of the effective period and time information of the invalid period of the s-th set of DRX configuration information among the m sets of DRX configuration information. For example, the first network side device obtains time information of a service corresponding to the s-th set of DRX configuration information, and then determines time information of the effective period and time information of the invalid period of the s-th set of DRX configuration information according to the time information of the service corresponding to the s-th set of DRX configuration information.
[0090] In this way, the first network side device may transmit or receive data and / or signaling within an active period of a valid period during a period indicated by time information of a valid period of the DRX configuration information of the s set, and may stop transmitting or receiving at least one of the data and / or signaling during a period indicated by time information of an invalid period of the DRX configuration information of the s set.
[0091] Specifically, the first network side device may configure time information of the valid period and time information of the invalid period of the kth set of DRX configuration information for the first terminal via RRC dedicated signaling.
[0092] When the first network side device transmits multiple multicast services, multiple small DRX cycles are included in one large DRX cycle to form multi-stage DRX configuration information. For example, among the m sets of DRX configuration information, the first DRX cycle in the pth set of DRX configuration information includes x second DRX cycles, and the configurations corresponding to the x second DRX cycles are different or partially the same or have a corresponding relationship; 1) the period values of the x second DRX periods are the same or different; and 2) The start positions of the active periods corresponding to the x second DRX periods are explicitly indicated or have a corresponding relationship; and 3) At least one of the following methods is included: the settings of corresponding values of at least one of the deactivation timer, the retransmission timer, and the activation timer in the x second DRX periods are the same or different. Here, x is typically an integer greater than 1.
[0093] In this case, one multicast DRX cycle is composed of the DRX cycles of x multicast services, the first DRX cycle is the multicast DRX cycle, and the DRX cycle of each multicast service among the x multicast services corresponds to one of the x second DRX cycles.
[0094] When a multi-stage DRX cycle is introduced, the p set of DRX configuration information may specifically include at least one of the multicast DRX cycle, the position of the DRX cycle of each multicast service within the multicast DRX cycle, the DRX configuration information of each multicast service, the G-RNTI corresponding to each multicast service, information on whether the PTM transmission method corresponding to each multicast service enables HARQ feedback, and information on whether the PTM transmission method corresponding to each multicast service enables HARQ retransmission.
