Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] (CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS) This application claims priority from 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 power consumption can be reduced by turning off the receiving circuitry of a User Equipment (UE) when there is no data transmission. Therefore, Discontinuous Reception (DRX) technology is introduced. The basic mechanism of DRX is to configure a DRX cycle for a UE in an RRC connected state. As shown in Figure 1, a DRX cycle usually includes an active time and / or On Duration and an inactive time. During the active period, the UE wakes up and monitors the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) (the active period may also be called the activation period), while during the inactive period (Opportunity for DRX) the UE no longer receives the PDCCH but is able to receive data on other physical channels, such as the Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), and positive / negative acknowledgements (ACKs) / negative acknowledgements (NACKs) (the inactive period may also be called the sleep period).
[0003] The network can transmit DRX parameters to the terminal via RRC connection reconfiguration (RRCconnectionReconfig) signaling or RRC connection establishment (RRCconnectionSetup). DRX parameters usually include several basic timers. Among them, 1) onDurationTimer: This is the number of PDCCH subframes to be continuously monitored, counting from the start of one DRX cycle (i.e., the number of subframes for which the activation period lasts). 2) drx-InactivityTimer: This is 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 / downlink data. 3) drx-RetransmissionTimer: This is the number of PDCCH subframes to be continuously monitored, starting from the subframe where the terminal expects to receive a downlink retransmission. 4) longDRX-CycleStartOffset: This is the value that specifies the longDRX-cycle and drxstartOffset. 5) shortDRX-cycle: This is the number of subframes for which a shortDRX cycle lasts. 6) drxShortCycleTimer: Specifies the time period during which 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]

[0017]

[0020] The following description provides examples and is not intended to limit the scope, applicability, or configuration of the claimed invention. Changes may be made in the function and arrangement of 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. For example, methods described may be performed in an order different from that described, and various steps may be added, omitted, or combined.

[0021] In this specification, "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. "Data" in this specification may refer to "data packet," "Physical Uplink Share Channel transmission (PUSCH)," "Physical Downlink Share Channel transmission (PDSCH)," "data unit," and "transmission." and "transmission block", etc.
[0022] The DRX configuration information in related technologies is usually designed for each UE and is unrelated to factors such as service type and propagation type. In scenarios such as groupcast, unicast services and groupcast services are relatively independent, and the original purpose of DRX technology is to enable UEs to better save power without degrading the data transmission performance of the UE, i.e., without missing data transmission or reception. Therefore, there is a strong demand for 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 discontinuous reception scheduling method, which, referring to FIG. 2, when applied to a first terminal side, 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 is as follows: 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; The 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 correspondence 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 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, and the network side device configures corresponding DRX configuration information for the terminal based on the above elements, thereby realizing more accurate discontinuous reception and helping to achieve better power saving effects.
[0027] For example, current communication networks support a wider variety of service propagation types, such as groupcast and unicast. Different propagation types require different operations in the core network and / or radio access network. The embodiments of the present disclosure introduce DRX configuration information corresponding to different propagation types, thereby achieving more granular DRX configuration than the related art. A terminal can select a corresponding DRX scheme according to a service it is interested in and implement active and inactive periods in the DRX scheme, thereby achieving more precise power saving.
[0028] As another example, current communication networks support a wider variety of service types, with different QoS requirements, and different arrival times and arrival intervals for the services. The embodiments of the present disclosure introduce DRX configuration information corresponding to different service types, thereby achieving more granular DRX configuration than related art, and thus achieving more precise power saving.
[0029] As another example, in semi-static scheduling such as semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) or CG, data is typically scrambled using a configured scheduling RNTI (CS-RNTI), whereas in dynamic scheduling, data is typically scrambled using a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI). By introducing DRX configuration information corresponding to different scheduling schemes, embodiments of the present disclosure can achieve more granular DRX configuration than related art, allowing a UE to achieve more precise power saving on the PDCCH. For example, if a UE monitors only the PDCCH scrambled by the CS-RNTI during an active period indicated by a first set of DRX configuration information and only the PDCCH scrambled by the C-RNTI during an active period indicated by a second set of DRX configuration information, more precise discontinuous reception can be achieved, resulting in better power saving.
[0030] As another example, services supported by current communication networks may have different QoS requirements and importance for different data flows or frames, and may also have different arrival times and arrival intervals for the services. By introducing DRX configuration information corresponding to different frame types or data types of the services, the embodiments of the present disclosure can achieve a more granular DRX configuration than related art. Therefore, different power saving modes can be used according to the characteristics of different frames, enabling more precise power saving. For example, for an XR service, if the terminal monitors only XR P frame data during the active period indicated by the first set of DRX configuration information, only XR I frame data during the active period indicated by the second set of DRX configuration information, and only XR Real-time Control Protocol (RTCP) feedback data during the active period indicated by the third set of DRX configuration information, more precise discontinuous reception can be achieved, resulting in better power saving.
[0031] As another example, previous communication networks supported a relatively single type of service, which did not have high requirements for performance (e.g., latency, reliability, etc.), and interactions between many services were performed at the application layer. This high processing hierarchy resulted in high latency, large jitter, and significant waste of radio resources. In a current situation where communication networks support a wider variety of service types and have clear interaction relationships between many services, the embodiments of the present disclosure configure DRX configuration information corresponding to different propagation directions, thereby enabling different power saving modes to be used according to different propagation directions of one service or different services, thereby enabling more precise power saving. For example, one service is an uplink service responsible for transmitting data from a device to a network side, and the other service is a downlink service responsible for feeding back some received information and / or delivering some control commands, etc., to the application layer on the network side. There is a clear time relationship between these two services. For example, 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, and the period value of the active period of the uplink service is half that of the downlink service. 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 effects 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 among the at least b sets of DRX configuration information may be transmitted from the 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 the 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 relationships 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 for the t-th service within the active period indicated by the i-th set of DRX configuration information among the m sets of DRX configuration information, start the inactive timer for 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 for the u-th service and / or wait for reception of data and / or signaling for the u-th service. 2) After receiving or transmitting data and / or signaling of the t-th service within the 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 the active period indicated by the i-th set of DRX configuration information among the m sets of DRX configuration information, after a specified time or immediately, start the always-on timer of the j-th set of DRX configuration information corresponding to the u-th service, 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. 4) After receiving or transmitting data and / or signaling of the t-th service within the 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 the 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 data and / or signaling of the u-th service and / or wait for reception of data and / or signaling of the u-th service.
[0035] For example, the terminal transmits one uplink service (assumed to be service t) within the active period indicated by the i-th set of DRX configuration information, and the service t is responsible for transmitting data from the device to the network side. Thereafter, the terminal enters the active period indicated by the j-th set of DRX configuration information corresponding to the service u (assumed to be service u, which is responsible for feeding back some received information and / or delivering some control commands and other information by the application layer on the network side) 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) and receives data of the service u and / or waits for the reception of 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 indicates 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 the terms i-th set, j-th set, t-th service, u-th service, etc. used in this specification 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 the vth type of data and / or signaling in the qth service within the 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, start the inactivity timer of the zth set of DRX configuration information corresponding to the uth type of data and / or signaling in the qth service, and receive the uth type of data and / or signaling in the qth service and / or wait for the reception of the uth type of data and / or signaling in the qth service. 2) After receiving or transmitting data and / or signaling of the vth type in the qth service within the 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 the 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, start the always-on timer of the zth set of DRX configuration information corresponding to the uth type in the first service, 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. 4) After receiving or transmitting data and / or signaling of the vth type in the qth service within the active period indicated by the hth set of DRX configuration information among the m sets of DRX configuration information, perform at least one of starting the inactivity timer of the zth set of DRX configuration information corresponding to the uth type in the qth service, starting the always-on timer of the zth set of DRX configuration information, and entering the active period of the zth set of DRX configuration information, according to service performance requirements such as data arrival characteristics and / or delay of the uth type in the related qth service, to 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.
[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) within the active period indicated by the hth set of DRX configuration information. The terminal determines, according to the time relationship between the P frame data and the I frame data and other relationships such as the position of the frequency domain resource and the position of the beam, to enter the active period indicated by the zth set of DRX configuration information corresponding to the uth type of service for XR (the I frame of the XR service) after a specified time period or immediately thereafter (or starts a deactivation timer and / or a duration timer, etc.), receives the I frame data of the XR service and / or waits for the reception of the I frame data of the XR service, and, after the specified time period after receiving the I frame data, enters the active period indicated by the bth set of DRX configuration information corresponding to the RTCP feedback of the XR service (or starts a deactivation timer and / or a duration timer, etc.), receives the RTCP feedback data of the XR service and / or waits for the reception of the RTCP feedback data of the XR service.
[0040] For example, if 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 the groupcast mode and a second set of DRX configuration information corresponding to the 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, and when receiving retransmission data of the target service transmitted from the network side in the unicast mode, receive the data based on the second set of DRX configuration information related to the first set of DRX configuration information.
[0041] In this way, in the above step 22, the first terminal receives new transmission data of the multicast service sent from the network side device based on the first set of DRX configuration information, and is able to determine a reception method for the retransmission data, which includes a multicast reception method and / or a unicast reception method, before or at the time of receiving the new transmission data.
[0042] If 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 using a reception method for the retransmission data, whereby, 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, it 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 or a PTM method, the receiving method is a multicast receiving method or a unicast receiving method.
[0044] Furthermore, the first terminal may extract instruction information for a retransmission method for the new transmission data from a scheduling command for scheduling new transmission data of the multicast service. When the retransmission method is not instructed from the network side, for example, when the scheduling command for the new transmission data does not include instruction information for the retransmission method, the first terminal may determine that the reception method for the retransmission data is a multicast reception method and a unicast reception method.
[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 the G-CS-RNTI, and starting a corresponding multicast retransmission timer.
[0046] Wherein, HARQ or Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest stands for hybrid automatic repeat request, and RTT or Round Trip Time stands for round trip time. When a unicast receiving mode is used, receiving the 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, and 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 fractional 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 may be transmitted from a first network side device, while the retransmission data may be transmitted from a second network side device. When the first terminal monitors the retransmission data scrambled with 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 with 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 the network side device according to the i-th set of DRX configuration information, after a specified time or immediately, it 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 according to 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 the 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, and uses the j-th set of DRX configuration information to start an inactivity timer for the j-th set of DRX configuration information, and receives data of the u-th service and / or waits for reception of data of the u-th service.
[0050] To achieve more flexible DRX configuration, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the network side may more flexibly and quickly update time information of a set (assumed to be the kth set) of DRX configuration information among the m sets of DRX configuration information as needed. In this case, the first terminal receives first signaling transmitted from the network side, the first signaling being for updating time information of the kth set of DRX configuration information among the m sets of DRX configuration information. The first signaling may include at least one of RRC signaling, a Media Access Control Element (MAC CE), and a PDCCH control signaling. Then, the first terminal updates 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 the periodicity value in the time information of the service corresponding to the logical channel does not match the periodicity value of the related fifth-generation mobile communication technology (5th-Generation 5G) network, for example, if the periodicity value in the time information of the service corresponding to the logical channel and the periodicity value in the time information of the service corresponding to the valid periodic logical channel of the DRX radio resource are not an integer divisor of the 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 warped around), the transmission opportunity, i.e., the offset value, calculated by resource computing in the related technology does not match the time when the actual service packet is required to be transmitted. In this case, this problem can be solved by updating the starting position of the DRX radio resource, or by configuring such a multi-stage DRX configuration, the use of radio resources can be better adapted to such complex service characteristics.
[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) Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) time information, 2) The offset between UTC and the Global Positioning System (GPS) clock; 3) Information about 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; 6) Mapping relationship between UTC and system frame number (SFN); 7) Indication of whether it is the main clock; 8) Clock level information, 9) offset information between the reference time of a particular clock type; 10) Clock synchronization accuracy information; 11) Clock synchronization granularity information; 12) Information with poor synchronization; 13) Clock type information, 14) Reference time information; 15) an indication of the positional relationship between the reference time information and the received signaling; 16) Clock time update period information. Here, the reference time information further includes at least one of reference system radio frame information, reference subframe information, reference slot information, and reference time symbol information.
[0053] To achieve 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 the time difference between the start position of the active period of the nth set of DRX configuration information among the m sets of DRX configuration information and the actual data transmission time of the service reaches a predetermined first threshold, the first terminal may adjust the DRX period and / or 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 determine 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 data packets; 2) Arrival time information of data packets, transmission period information of data packets, 3) transmission duration information of one period of the data packet; 4) length information of the data packet; 5) information about the length of time the data packet will reside in the cache; 6) Time to live information of data packets; 7) Transmission status information of the first y (y is a positive integer) data packets among the data packets; 8) delay requirements for data packets; and 9) The value of k at the HARQ timing of the data packet; 10) reliability requirements for data packets; 11) A Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) that matches the data packet scheduling; 12) Transmission power requirements of the data packet.
[0055] The embodiments of the present disclosure also introduce valid periods and invalid periods into the DRX configuration information, whereby operations related to discontinuous reception can be performed normally within the valid periods and operations related to discontinuous reception are stopped within the radio periods. For example, the first terminal may obtain time information on the valid periods and time information on the invalid periods of a certain set (assumed to be the sth set) of DRX configuration information from the m sets of DRX configuration information. During the period indicated by the time information on the valid periods of the sth set of DRX configuration information, the first terminal transmits or receives data and / or signaling within the active period of the valid periods, and stops transmitting or receiving at least one of the data and / or signaling during the period indicated by the time information on the invalid periods of the sth set of DRX configuration information. That is, the first terminal normally performs discontinuous reception processing during the valid periods indicated by the time information on the valid periods and suspends discontinuous reception processing during the invalid periods indicated by the time information on the invalid periods.
[0056] As one implementation method, the first terminal may obtain the time information of the valid period and the time information of the invalid period of the sth set of DRX configuration information by receiving the time information of the valid period and the time information of the invalid period of the kth set of DRX configuration information configured by the network side device via RRC dedicated signaling.
[0057] As another method for acquiring the valid period time information and invalid period time information, the first terminal may acquire time information of the service corresponding to the s set of DRX configuration information, and then determine the valid period time information and 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 data packets; 2) Arrival time information of data packets, transmission period information of data packets, 3) transmission duration information of one period of the data packet; 4) length information of the data packet; 5) information about the length of time the data packet will reside in the cache; 6) Time to live information of data packets; 7) transmission status information of the first n (n is a positive integer) data packets of the data packet; 8) delay requirements for data packets; and 9) The value of k at the HARQ timing of the data packet; 10) reliability requirements for data packets; 11) A Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) that matches the data packet scheduling; 12) Transmission power requirements 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, or may be notified to the radio access layer of the terminal from an upper layer of the terminal (e.g., an application layer or another protocol layer or function layer above RRC), or 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 multiple multicast services transmitted from the network side device, the first terminal may form multi-stage DRX configuration information by including multiple small DRX cycles in one large DRX cycle. For example, among the m sets of DRX configuration information, a first DRX cycle in the p-th set of DRX configuration information includes x second DRX cycles, and the configurations corresponding to the x second DRX cycles are different, partially the same, or have a corresponding relationship, and may specifically include at least one of the following methods 1) to 3): 1) The x second DRX cycles have the same or different cycle values. 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 the data transmission and / or reception of different streams. 3) The settings of at least one corresponding value among the deactivation timer, the retransmission timer, and the activation timer within the x second DRX periods are the same or different.
[0060] The introduction of the 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 may have different transmission periods, delay / jitter performance requirements, and transmitted packet sizes, but these streams further constitute a single XR or V2X service. Setting up such a multi-stage DRX configuration allows radio resource usage to better adapt to such complex service characteristics. b) For some services (e.g., XR services), 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, if the periodicity value in the time information of the service corresponding to the logical channel and the periodicity value in the time information of the service corresponding to the valid periodicity logical channel of the DRX radio resource are not an integer divisor of the radio frame cycle period of 10240 ms, this may lead to a problem that after several DRX cycles (e.g., after the SFN number has cycled around once), the transmission opportunity, i.e., the offset value, calculated by the resource computing of the related technology may not match the time when the actual service packet is required to be transmitted. In this case, this problem can be solved by updating the starting position of the DRX radio resource. Configuring such a multi-stage DRX configuration makes it possible to better adapt the use of active / inactive periods of radio resources to such complex service characteristics.
[0061] Specifically, one multicast DRX cycle is composed of 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, a position of the DRX cycle of each multicast service within the multicast DRX cycle, DRX configuration information of each multicast service, a G-RNTI corresponding to each multicast service, information on whether the PTM transmission scheme corresponding to each multicast service enables HARQ feedback, and information on whether the PTM transmission scheme 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 unicast service and 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), 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 active period, the UE only turns on monitoring of the PDCCH scrambled by the G-RNTI.
[0066] As shown in Figure 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 indicates the retransmission method, such as PTM retransmission and / or PTP retransmission, to be used by the base station when reception of the new transmission data of the MBS service fails.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 UE successfully receives the new transmission of groupcast data for the MBS service, unicast-DRX remains in its original state, i.e., the UE only turns on monitoring of the PDCCH scrambled by the C-RNTI. On the other hand, if the UE fails to receive the new transmission of groupcast data, unicast-DRX remains in its original state, and the UE starts the HARQ RTT-multicast timer and / or the HARQ RTT-unicast timer according to the instruction from the base station. After either timer times out, the UE starts monitoring retransmission data according to the timer that has timed out. For example, if the HARQ RTT-multicast timer has timed out, the UE monitors retransmission data scrambled by the G-RNTI, and / or if the HARQ RTT-unicast timer has timed out, the UE monitors 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 groupcast data packet.
[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, due to independent DRX designs, it is not possible to support transmission of new transmission data via the PTM method or transmission of retransmission data via PTP.
[0070] In this example, if there are multiple MBS services that the UE needs to receive and they have different time formats, the cycle and start time can be designed to add a degree of G-RNTI differentiation. For example, the cycle is 10 ms. PDCCH monitoring using G-RNTI1 / G-RNTI2 is turned on for the first 10 ms, PDCCH monitoring using G-RNTI3 is turned on for the next 20 ms, and PDCCH monitoring using G-RNTI4 is turned on for the following 20 ms, forming one large cycle period totaling 50 ms. Then, the base station uses DCI commands to instruct the UE whether PTMs corresponding to different G-RNTIs enable HARQ feedback or HARQ retransmission. If HARQ feedback or HARQ retransmission is instructed to be disabled, the UE may automatically disable 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 generate an error when receiving packets of the corresponding G-RNTI.
[0071] Also, if a UE receives MBS from base station 1 and unicast services from base station 2, the two base stations need to exchange DRX configuration information for the UE.
[0072] In this example, if the time-frequency period of the MBS service and the DRX period available in 5G are not integers, such as for industrial control commands in a factory, the MBS DRX period 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 includes the following steps 41 to 42 when applied to a first network side device.
[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: 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; The 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 correspondence 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 device can configure corresponding DRX configuration information for the terminal, which can realize more accurate discontinuous reception and help achieve better power saving effects.
[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 association relationships between at least b sets of DRX configuration information (b is an integer greater than 1 and equal to or less than m) of the m sets of DRX configuration information, where the association relationships between the at least b sets of DRX configuration information are configured by the network side, predefined, or 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 for the t-th service within the active period indicated by the i-th set of DRX configuration information among the m sets of DRX configuration information, start the inactive timer for 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 for the u-th service and / or wait for reception of data and / or signaling for the u-th service. 2) After receiving or transmitting data and / or signaling of the t-th service within the 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 the active period indicated by the i-th set of DRX configuration information among the m sets of DRX configuration information, after a specified time or immediately, start the always-on timer of the j-th set of DRX configuration information corresponding to the u-th service, 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. 4) After receiving or transmitting data and / or signaling of the t-th service within the 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 the 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 data and / or signaling of the u-th service and / or wait for reception of data and / or signaling of the u-th service. 5) After receiving or transmitting the vth type of data and / or signaling for the qth service within the 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, start the inactivity timer of the zth set of DRX configuration information corresponding to the uth type of data and / or signaling for the qth service, and receive the uth type of data and / or signaling for the qth service and / or wait for the reception of the uth type of data and / or signaling for the qth service. 6) After receiving or transmitting data and / or signaling of the vth type in the qth service within the 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 the 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, start the always-on timer of the zth set of DRX configuration information corresponding to the uth type in the first service, 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. 8) After receiving or transmitting data and / or signaling of the vth type in the qth service within the active period indicated by the hth set of DRX configuration information among the m sets of DRX configuration information, perform at least one of starting the inactivity timer of the zth set of DRX configuration information corresponding to the uth type in the qth service, starting the always-on timer of the zth set of DRX configuration information, and entering the active period of the zth set of DRX configuration information, according to service performance requirements such as data arrival characteristics and / or delay of the uth type in the related qth service, to 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.
[0079] For example, if 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. 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 the PTM method and / or the PTP method.
[0081] Furthermore, if 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] Optionally, the first network side device may carry indication information of the retransmission method of the new transmission data in a scheduling command for scheduling new transmission data of the multicast service, in order to assist the terminal in determining the reception method of the retransmission data.
[0083] Furthermore, the first terminal may communicate with the first network side device via a carrier aggregation scheme. In this case, when the base station uses the PTP scheme, when transmitting retransmission data scrambled by the C-RNTI and / or CS-RNTI based on the second set of DRX configuration information, the base station may send to the first terminal indication information of carriers and / or bandwidth fraction (BWP) resources associated with the retransmission data, so that a target carrier and / or a target BWP to be monitored 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 specified 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 according to 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 to start an inactivity timer for the j-th set of DRX configuration information, and transmitting data for the u-th service and / or waiting for transmission of 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] To achieve a more flexible DRX configuration, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first network side device may send to the first terminal first signaling for updating time information of a 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 a valid period and an invalid period. In this case, the first network side device may obtain time information of the valid period and time information of the invalid period of the sth set of DRX configuration information among the m sets of DRX configuration information. For example, the first network side device obtains time information of the service corresponding to the sth set of DRX configuration information, and then determines the time information of the valid period and time information of the invalid period of the sth set of DRX configuration information according to the time information of the service corresponding to the sth set of DRX configuration information.
[0090] In this way, the first network side device may transmit or receive data and / or signaling within the active period of the valid period during the period indicated by the time information of the valid period of the DRX configuration information of the sth set, and may stop transmitting or receiving at least one of the data and / or signaling during the period indicated by the time information of the invalid period of the DRX configuration information of the sth 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 k sets 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 x number of second DRX periods have the same or different period values; and 2) The start positions of the active periods corresponding to the x second DRX cycles are explicitly indicated or have a corresponding relationship; 3) The method includes at least one of the following: the setting of corresponding values of at least one of the deactivation timer, the retransmission timer, and the activation timer within the x second DRX periods is the same or different. where 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 sets 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, a G-RNTI corresponding to each multicast service, information on whether the PTM transmission scheme corresponding to each multicast service enables HARQ feedback, and information on whether the PTM transmission scheme corresponding to each multicast service enables HARQ retransmission. In this case, the first network side device may transmit data of each multicast service according to the p sets of DRX configuration information.
[0095] Having introduced various methods according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, we further provide apparatuses for implementing the methods.
[0096] Referring to FIG. 5 , an embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a terminal 500, including a first receiving module 501 and a first processing module 502; The first receiving module 501 receives 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 is as follows: 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; The m sets of DRX configuration information correspond to different frame types or data types of one service; receiving m sets of DRX configuration information, wherein the m sets of DRX configuration information correspond to different propagation directions of one service or different services; The first processing module 502 is for receiving and / or transmitting data according to the m sets of DRX configuration information.
