Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of wireless communication technologies, and in particular, to an information transmission method, apparatus, communication device, and storage medium.

Background Art

[0002] In the wireless communication LTE 4G system, in order to support the Internet of Things service, two technologies, namely Machine Type Communication (MTC) and Narrow band Internet of thing (NB-IoT), have been proposed. These two technologies are mainly for scenarios with low speed, high latency, etc. With the continuous development of the Internet of Things services such as video monitoring, smart home, wearable devices, and industrial sensing monitoring, these services usually require speeds from dozens to 100M and also have relatively high requirements for latency. Therefore, the MTC and NB-IoT technologies in LTE are difficult to meet the requirements. Based on such a situation, many companies have proposed to design new user equipment for 5G new radio to meet the requirements of the Internet of Things service. In the current 3GPP standardization, such new user equipment is called Reduced capability UE or abbreviated as NR-lite.

[0003] Currently, in the future, it is possible to configure a single initial bandwidth for the Reduced capability UE to transmit dedicated system messages. However, in order to avoid unnecessary system message updates, in what situations to transmit dedicated system messages is a technical issue that needs to be urgently solved.

[0028] Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, an information transmission method, apparatus, communication device, and storage medium provided in the present disclosure will be described in detail.

[0029] FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of an information transmission method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure and is applied to a base station.

[0030] As shown in FIG. 1, it includes the following steps 101 and 102.

[0031] In step 101, obtain the state of the initial bandwidth part (Initial BWP) of the lightweight user equipment (Redcap UE).

[0032] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the initial bandwidth part (Initial BWP) is the default setting of the available bandwidth set by the base station for lightweight user equipment in 5G. Here, the state of the Initial BWP includes the state of the Initial Downlink Bandwidth Part (Initial DL BWP) and / or the state of the Initial Uplink Bandwidth Part (Initial UL BWP). The state of the Initial DL BWP includes the shared state or non-shared state between the Redcap UE and the general-purpose UE, and the state of the Initial UL BWP includes the shared state or non-shared state between the Redcap UE and the general-purpose UE.

[0033] Here, the state of the Initial BWP of the lightweight UE is determined by the first System Information Block (SIB), that is, the state of the Initial BWP of the lightweight UE is indicated in the first SIB.

[0034] In step 102, based on the state of the Initial BWP, the base station transmits the first System Information Block (SIB), which is a system information block that the current general-purpose UE can read, or the second SIB, which is a system information block dedicated to the Redcap UE.

[0035] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the Initial BWP is set for the lightweight user equipment, and different states of the Initial BWP indicate whether it is necessary to set a system information block dedicated to the lightweight user equipment. Accordingly, based on the state of the Initial BWP, the base station broadcasts the first system message block or the second system message block. Since the first system message block already exists in the system, when there is no need to broadcast the second message block, unnecessary system message updates are avoided, and the power overhead of the lightweight user equipment is reduced.

[0036] In one embodiment of this embodiment, the second SIB is the Remaining Minimum System Information (RMSI), which includes resource settings, frequencies, powers, etc. assigned by the base station to the user equipment, and is information that the user equipment needs to set in order to access the base station.

[0037] Note that the state of the Initial BWP has a certain correspondence relationship with the parameters in the system message block. That is, when the states of the Initial BWP corresponding to the Redcap UE are different, it is necessary to correspondingly adjust the system message block that needs to be set. Therefore, based on the state of the Initial BWP, it is determined whether to set a dedicated system information block for the Redcap UE.

[0038] In the information transmission method of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the state of the Initial Bandwidth Part (Initial BWP) of the Reduced-capability User Equipment (Redcap UE) is obtained, and further, based on the state of the Initial BWP, the first System Information Block (SIB) that can be read by the current general-purpose UE or the second SIB dedicated to the Redcap UE is transmitted. In the present disclosure, based on the state of the Initial Bandwidth Part (Initial BWP) of the Redcap UE, it is determined whether to transmit the second SIB dedicated to the Redcap UE or the first System Information Block (SIB) that can be read by the general-purpose UE. Since the first system message block already exists in the system, unnecessary system message updates are avoided and the power overhead is reduced.

[0039] In the above embodiments, it is described that the first System Information Block (SIB) or the second SIB is transmitted based on the state of the Initial BWP of the lightweight device. Here, the state of the Initial BWP includes a plurality of possible embodiments. Below, based on the above embodiments, the system information blocks set for the lightweight device for different states of the Initial BWP of the lightweight device will be described.

[0040] Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment provides another implementation form. Here, the state of the Initial BWP includes the state of the Initial Downlink Bandwidth Part (Initial DL BWP), and the Initial DL BWPs of the general-purpose UE and the Redcap UE are in a shared state.

[0041] Figure 2 is a schematic flowchart of another information transmission method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 2, the method includes step 201 and step 202.

[0042] In step 201, obtain the state of the Initial Bandwidth Part (Initial BWP) of the Reduced-capability User Equipment (Redcap UE).

[0043] Here, the state of the Initial BWP includes the state of the Initial Downlink Bandwidth Part (Initial DL BWP).

[0044] Specifically, reference can be made to the description in the above embodiments, and detailed description is omitted in this embodiment.

[0045] In step 202, if the Initial DL BWP is in a shared state between the Redcap UE and the current general-purpose UE, send the first SIB in the initial DL BWP.

[0046] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when an Initial Downlink Bandwidth Part (Initial DL BWP) is set for a lightweight user equipment, it is determined whether the Initial DL BWP is in a shared state between the Redcap UE and the current general-purpose UE. If it is determined that the Initial DL BWP is in a shared state between the Redcap UE and the current general-purpose UE, that is, the lightweight user equipment and the current general-purpose user equipment share the same Initial DL BWP, that is, the System Information Block (SIB) required by the lightweight user equipment is the same as the first SIB already set in the current general-purpose equipment, then there is no need to separately set a second SIB dedicated to the lightweight user equipment. Accordingly, the base station does not need to set a second SIB dedicated to the lightweight user equipment so that the lightweight user equipment can receive the first SIB, broadcasts the first SIB in the initial DL BWP, avoids system message updates, and reduces power overhead.

[0047] Based on the above embodiment, this embodiment also provides another implementation form. Here, the state of the Initial BWP includes the state of the Initial Downlink Bandwidth Part (Initial DL BWP). When the Initial DL BWPs of the general-purpose UE and the Redcap UE are not in a shared state but are independent of each other, a system information block dedicated to the Redcap UE is set.

[0048] FIG. 3 is a schematic flowchart of another information transmission method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, the method includes step 301 and step 302.

[0049] In step 301, the state of the Initial Bandwidth Part (Initial BWP) of the lightweight user equipment (Redcap UE) is obtained.

[0050] Here, the state of the Initial BWP includes the state of the Initial Downlink Bandwidth Part (Initial DL BWP).

[0051] Specifically, reference can be made to the description in the above embodiments, and detailed description is omitted in this embodiment.

[0052] In step 302, when it is determined that the Initial DL BWP includes a first initial DL BWP and a second initial DL BWP, the first SIB is transmitted on the first Initial DL BWP, and the second SIB is transmitted on the second Initial DL BWP.

[0053] Here, the first initial DL BWP is an Initial DL BWP that a general-purpose UE can monitor, and the second initial DL BWP is an Initial DL BWP that a Redcap UE can monitor. That is, the Initial DL BWPs of the general-purpose UE and the Redcap UE are not in a shared state but are independent of each other.

[0054] In this embodiment, the states of the initial downlink bandwidth parts (Initial DL BWPs) of the general-purpose UE and the Redcap UE are independent of each other. Accordingly, the dedicated system information block set by the base station for the Redcap UE is different from the system information block set for the general-purpose device. Therefore, it is necessary to set a dedicated second SIB for the Redcap UE. Therefore, the first SIB is transmitted on the first Initial DL BWP, and the dedicated information block set for the Redcap UE, that is, the second SIB, is transmitted on the second Initial DL BWP dedicated to the Redcap UE. Thereby, when the Redcap UE receives the second SIB, it determines the time-frequency resources occupied by the transmission control signaling based on the position of the time-frequency resources occupied by the PDCCH carried in the second SIB.

[0055] In the information transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the Initial DL BWPs of the general-purpose UE and the Redcap UE are not in a shared state but are independent of each other, the second SIB is transmitted using the Initial DL BWP set for the Redcap UE, thereby setting a dedicated Initial DL BWP for the Redcap UE and realizing the setting of a dedicated second SIB for the Redcap UE.

[0056] Based on the above embodiment, this embodiment also provides another embodiment. In this embodiment, the state of the Initial BWP includes the state of the Initial Downlink Bandwidth Part (Initial DL BWP) and the state of the Initial Uplink Bandwidth Part (Initial UL BWP). Here, when the Initial DL BWPs of the general-purpose UE and the Redcap UE are not in a shared state but are independent of each other, it is necessary to determine whether to set a dedicated system information block for the Redcap UE based on the state of the Initial UL BWP.

[0057] FIG. 4 is a schematic flowchart of another information transmission method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4, the method includes step 401 and step 402.

[0058] In step 401, obtain the state of the Initial Bandwidth Part (Initial BWP) of the Reduced Capability User Equipment (Redcap UE).

[0059] Here, the state of the Initial BWP includes the state of the Initial Downlink Bandwidth Part (Initial DL BWP) and the state of the Initial Uplink Bandwidth Part (Initial UL BWP).

[0060] Specifically, reference can be made to the interpretation and description in the embodiment of the above method, and the principle is the same. In this embodiment, detailed description is omitted.

[0061] In step 402, when it is determined that the Initial DL BWP includes a first initial DL BWP and a second initial DL BWP, the first SIB and / or the second SIB is transmitted based on the state of the Initial UL BWP.

[0062] Here, the first initial DL BWP is an Initial DL BWP that a general-purpose terminal can monitor, and the second initial DL BWP is an Initial DL BWP that a Redcap terminal can monitor.

[0063] In this embodiment, when the state of the initial bandwidth part (Initial BWP) of a Redcap UE includes the state of the initial downlink bandwidth part (Initial DL BWP) and the state of the initial uplink bandwidth part (Initial UL BWP), if it is determined that the state of the initial downlink bandwidth part (Initial DL BWP) is a non-shared state, it is necessary to further determine whether the state of the initial uplink bandwidth part (Initial UL BWP) is a shared state or a non-shared state in order to determine whether to set a dedicated second SIB for the Redcap UE.

[0064] In the first embodiment, the state of the Initial UL BWP is a non-shared state, that is, the first initial UL BWP that is an initial UL BWP monitorable by general-purpose UEs in the Initial UL BWP and the second initial UL BWP that is an initial UL BWP monitorable by Redcap UEs are included. To transmit information from the base station to the user equipment, the first SIB is transmitted in the first Initial DL BWP, and the second SIB is transmitted in the second Initial DL BWP. As a result, the Redcap Ue can monitor the second SIB in the second initial UL BWP, and it is realized to set a dedicated system information block for the Redcap Ue. Thereby, the Redcap Ue determines the time-frequency resources occupied by the transmission control signaling based on the position of the time-frequency of the resources occupied by the PDCCH carried in the second SIB.

[0065] In the second embodiment, when the state of the Initial UL BWP is a shared state, that is, when the state of the Initial DL BWP is a non-shared state and the state of the Initial UL BWP is a shared state, the first SIB is transmitted only in the first Initial DL BWP. That is, the Redcap Ue can use the same system information block as the general-purpose UE, unnecessary system message updates are avoided, and the power overhead is reduced.

[0066] In the third embodiment, when the state of the Initial UL BWP is a shared state, that is, when the state of the Initial DL BWP is a non-shared state and the state of the Initial UL BWP is a shared state, the first SIB is transmitted in the first Initial DL BWP, the second SIB is transmitted in the second Initial DL BWP, and a dedicated system information block is set for the Redcap Ue, which improves the accuracy.

[0067] To implement the above embodiments, embodiments of the present disclosure provide an information transmission device.

[0068] FIG. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of an information transmission device provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5, the device includes an acquisition module 51 for acquiring the state of the Initial BWP of the Reduced-capability User Equipment (Redcap UE), and a first processing module 52 for transmitting a first System Information Block (SIB) that is a system information block readable by the current general-purpose UE or a second SIB that is a system information block dedicated to the Redcap UE based on the state of the Initial BWP.

[0069] Furthermore, in an embodiment of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the state of the Initial BWP includes the state of the Initial DL BWP. Here, the first processing module 52 specifically is used to transmit the first SIB in the initial DL BWP when the Initial DL BWP is in a shared state between the Redcap UE and the current general-purpose UE.

[0070] In one embodiment of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the state of the Initial BWP includes the state of the initial downlink bandwidth part (Initial DL BWP), where the first processing module 52 is specifically When the Initial DL BWP includes a first initial DL BWP that is a DL BWP monitorable by a general-purpose UE and a second initial DL BWP that is a DL BWP monitorable by a Redcap UE, it is used to transmit the first SIB on the first Initial DL BWP and transmit the second SIB on the second Initial DL BWP.

[0072] In one embodiment of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the second processing module When the Initial UL BWP includes a first initial UL BWP that is a UL BWP monitorable by a general-purpose UE and a second initial UL BWP that is a UL BWP monitorable by a Redcap UE, it is used to transmit the first SIB on the first Initial DL BWP, transmit the second SIB on the second Initial DL BWP, and when the state of the Initial UL BWP is a shared state, transmit the first SIB only on the first Initial DL BWP.

[0073] In one embodiment of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the state of the Initial BWP of the Redcap UE is determined by the first SIB.

In the present disclosure, based on the state of the Initial Bandwidth Part (Initial BWP) of the Redcap UE, it is determined whether to transmit the second SIB dedicated to the Redcap UE or the first System Information Block (SIB) readable by the general-purpose UE.
