[0033] In order to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art, the embodiments of the present disclosure enumerate several embodiments to clearly describe the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Of course, those skilled in the art can understand that the several embodiments provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented alone, can be implemented in combination with the methods of other embodiments in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and can be implemented alone or in combination with some methods in other related technologies, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0034] In order to better understand the technical solution described in any embodiment of the present disclosure, application scenarios of the related technology will be described first.

[0035] In order to distinguish between Redcap terminals and normal terminals, the network needs to recognize Redcap terminals early.

[0036] In one embodiment, upon initial access, Redcap reports the terminal type to the network.

[0037] In one embodiment, the method facilitates scheduling on a random access channel (RACH), for example, scheduling an uplink or downlink Bandwidth Part (BWP) on an appropriate initial uplink or downlink BWP.

[0038] In one embodiment, early recognition can be performed using Msg1 PRACH for four-step random access or Msg A PRACH for two-step random access.

[0039] In one embodiment, early recognition can be performed using Msg3 of four-step random access or Msg A PUSCH of two-step random access.

[0040] In one embodiment, whether or not to enable early indication and what type of early indication scheme to employ is determined by the network.

[0041] In one embodiment, in Media Access Control (MAC), if Msg3 contains Common Control Channel (CCCH) data, the RedCap terminal uses a dedicated Logical Channel ID (LCID) to perform early recognition of Msg3.

[0042] In one embodiment, for early recognition of Msg3, two reserved LCIDs are used for CCCH and CCCH1, respectively.

[0043] In one embodiment, for 4-step random access, early recognition can be based on msg1 or msg3, and the start of early recognition based on msg1 or msg3 can be set by the network. For early recognition based on msg1, the network can individually set and implicitly instruct the Redcap terminal to set random access resources.

[0044] In one embodiment, for Redcap terminals, the position of the starting paging transmission window (PTW) of eDRX is adjusted to eight.

[0045] In one embodiment, the core network receives an eDRX parameter allocation request for the terminal when it receives a Registration Request initiated by the terminal. From the air interface perspective, this message is included in msg 5 and sent to the core network. In this case, there is no terminal capability report for the terminal. If the core network can obtain the terminal type before obtaining the terminal capabilities, it is advantageous for the allocation of eDRX parameters. Therefore, it is possible to consider the core network obtaining the terminal type early.

[0046] As shown in FIG. 2, this embodiment provides an early recognition method, which is performed by a base station, and includes the following steps 21-22.

[0047] Step 21: determining a predetermined manner of transmitting the terminal type information, the predetermined manner being a manner of transmitting the terminal type information.

[0051] In one embodiment, the base station determines a predetermined manner for transmitting the type information of the terminal, and the type information of the terminal indicates that the terminal is a terminal that requires early recognition. In this manner, the terminal can transmit the type information of the terminal to the base station based on the predetermined manner before initiating a registration request. The base station receives the type information of the terminal transmitted from the terminal, and the type information of the terminal is used to early recognize the terminal. The network (e.g., a core network) receives a registration request initiated by the terminal, and when it receives an eDRX parameter allocation request of the terminal, it can determine the configuration of the eDRX parameters based on the type of the terminal determined based on the type information of the terminal.

Indication information is transmitted to the terminal to indicate the third manner. After receiving the indication information, the terminal can transmit the type information of the terminal to the base station by the msgA transmitted based on the PRACH in the random access process.

It sends indication information to the terminal to indicate the fifth manner. After receiving the indication information, the terminal can send the terminal type information to the base station by msg5 in the random access process.

[0058] In one embodiment, the terminal determines a predetermined manner for transmitting terminal type information to the base station, and the terminal type information indicates that the terminal is a terminal that requires early recognition.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal determines a predetermined manner for transmitting terminal type information to the base station, and the terminal type information indicates that the terminal is a terminal that requires early recognition. Since the base station can determine a predetermined manner for transmitting terminal type information to the base station, the terminal that requires early recognition can transmit terminal type information to the base station based on a predetermined manner, and the terminal type can be recognized early based on the predetermined manner, compared with a manner in which the terminal type information can be transmitted only after a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection is established, thereby making it possible to accurately and reliably perform terminal configuration operations for terminals of different types.

[0132] As shown in FIG. 11, this embodiment provides an early recognition method, which is performed by a core network device, and includes the following step 111.

[0133] In step 111, a notification message sent from a base station is received, and the notification message indicates that the terminal is a terminal that requires early recognition.

[0134] In one embodiment, the base station receives terminal type information transmitted by the terminal based on a predetermined scheme.

[0135] It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the methods provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure may be performed alone or together with some methods of the embodiments of the present disclosure or some methods of the related art.

[0136] In order to better understand the embodiments of the present disclosure, the technical solutions of the present disclosure are described below in exemplary embodiments.

[0137] In one embodiment, the present disclosure seeks to protect a configuration scheme that provides early recognition for a particular type of terminal (or user type recognition).

[0138] In one embodiment, the terminal is a Redcap type terminal.

[0139] In one embodiment, the terminal is a terminal of a particular release, for example an R17 NR terminal.

[0140] In one embodiment, early recognition for a particular type of terminal is provided by msg1 or msg3 (for a 4-step RACH), or message (msg5) message (msgA) PRACH or msgA PUSCH (for a 2-step RACH).

[0141] In one embodiment, the base station may configure early recognition of the msg1 or msgA PRACH only for the terminal.

[0142] In one embodiment, the base station obtains the capabilities of the terminal based on the method of early recognition by msg1 or msgA in the random access process, and can allocate specific Prach resources (including preamble, RO, etc.) to the Redcap type terminal, and when the user accesses, the base station can know that this is a Redcap type terminal.

[0143] In one embodiment, if the base station does not configure the msg1 or msgA PRACH to the terminal to perform early recognition, the base station needs to configure the msg3 or msgA PUSCH to perform early recognition.

[0144] In one embodiment, early recognition of Msg3 or msgA PUSCH is signaled to the user using dedicated or broadcast signaling.

[0145] In one embodiment, msg5 provides early recognition for a particular type of terminal.

[0146] In one embodiment, msg5 carries type information for a particular type of terminal, for example a Redcap user.

[0147] In one embodiment, for a 4-step RACH: For a Redcap user, if msg1 or msg3 is not set and early recognition is performed, recognition is required in msg5; if msg1 or msg3 is already set and early recognition is performed for a Redcap user, recognition is not required in msg5.

[0148] In one embodiment, for a two-step RACH: For a Redcap user, if msgA PRACH or msgA PUSCH is not configured and early recognition is performed, recognition is required in msg5; if msgA PRACH or msgA PUSCH is already configured and early recognition is performed for a Redcap user, recognition is not required in msg5.

[0149] In one embodiment, in this case, msg5 carries type information for a particular type of terminal, for example an R17 release user.

[0150] For R17normal users, there is no task of setting msg1 or msg3 to perform early recognition, so recognition of the user type is required in message 5.

[0151] In this case, msg5 is an RRC connection establishment complete message, in one embodiment.

[0152] Furthermore: msg5 is that the RRC resume completion message does not need to carry specific type of terminal type information (if the Resume process is completed successfully, it means that the base station has successfully acquired the terminal context, and the base station has already learned the terminal type).

[0153] In one embodiment, the base station performs early recognition of a particular type of terminal and then notifies the core network.

[0154] In one embodiment, the initial UE messages between the base station and the core network can carry early recognition information of the terminal (this reporting does not have to be determined by the capabilities of the UE).
