Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular to a network access method, a network access device, and a storage medium. [Background technology]

[0002] In wireless communication systems, Machine Type Communication (MTC) technology and Narrow Band Internet of Things (NB-IoT) technology have been proposed to address the low speed and high latency requirements of Internet of Things services. With the development of Internet of Things services, MTC and NB-IoT technologies will no longer be able to meet the speed and latency needs of current Internet of Things services. Therefore, a new Reduced Capability (Redcap) terminal, or NR-lite for short, has been designed to cover the service requirements of Internet of Things.

[0003] In the related art, a terminal detects an L1-Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP) parameter based on a Synchronization Signal and PBCH block (SSB). When the terminal randomly accesses a cell or when a beam failure occurs and beam recovery is required, the terminal needs to compare the detected L1-RSRP parameter with an SSB signal RSRP threshold parameter set by the system. If the L1-RSRP parameter is higher than the SSB signal RSRP threshold parameter, the terminal is allowed to select the SSB beam as a candidate beam and / or is allowed to access the cell based on the random access resource corresponding to the SSB beam. However, because terminals have different capabilities and / or different coverage extension features, all terminals share the same SSB signal RSRP threshold parameter, which not only fails to properly represent differences in terminal capabilities but also fails to properly utilize the coverage extension features provided by the terminals.

[0046] Illustrative embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the drawings. The following description refers to the drawings, and unless otherwise indicated, like numerals in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the illustrative examples below do not represent every consistent embodiment of the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0047] 1 is a diagram illustrating a communication system architecture of a network device and a terminal according to an exemplary embodiment. The communication method provided by the present disclosure can be applied to the communication system architecture diagram shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the network side device can send signaling based on the architecture shown in FIG. 1.

[0048] It should be noted that the communication system of the network devices and terminals shown in Figure 1 is merely an example, and the wireless communication system may include other network devices, such as core network devices, wireless relay devices, and wireless backhaul devices, which are not shown in Figure 1. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the number of network devices and the number of terminals included in the wireless communication system are not limited.

[0049] Furthermore, the wireless communication system of the present disclosure is a network that provides wireless communication functions. The wireless communication system may use different communication technologies, such as code division multiple access (CDMA), wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA), single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA), and carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSM). Based on factors such as different network capacities, speeds, and delays, networks can be divided into 2G (English generation) networks, 3G networks, 4G networks, or future evolution networks such as 5G networks, also known as New Radio (NR) networks. For ease of explanation, this disclosure may refer to wireless communication networks as networks for short.

[0050] Furthermore, the network equipment according to the present disclosure may also be referred to as radio access network equipment. The radio access network equipment may be a base station, an evolved base station (evolved node B), a femtocell, an access point (AP) in a wireless fidelity (WIFI) system, a wireless relay node, a wireless backhaul node, a transmission point (TP) or a transmission and reception point (TRP), etc., a gNB in ​​an NR system, or a component or part of equipment constituting a base station. In the case of a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication system, the network equipment may also be an in-vehicle device. Note that the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to specific technologies and specific device configurations used for the network equipment.

[0051] Furthermore, the terminal according to the present disclosure may also be referred to as a terminal device, user equipment (UE), mobile station (MS), mobile terminal (MT), etc., and is equipment for providing voice and / or data connectivity to a user. For example, the terminal may be a handheld device with wireless connectivity, an in-vehicle device, etc. Currently, examples of the terminal include a mobile phone, a pocket personal computer (PPC), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a laptop, a tablet, a wearable device, or an in-vehicle device. In addition, in the case of a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication system, the terminal device may be an in-vehicle device. Note that the specific technology and the specific device form used for the terminal in the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited.

[0052] Reduced capability UE (Reduced Capability UE) has proposed two technologies, MTC (Machine Type Communication) and NB-IoT (Narrow Band Internet of Things), to support Internet of Things (IoT) services in communication systems such as LTE (Long Term Evolution) and 4G (Fourth Generation Mobile Communications). These two technologies are primarily suited to low-speed, high-latency scenarios, such as meter reading and environmental monitoring. NB-IoT currently supports a maximum transmission speed of several hundred kbps (kbits per second), while MTC currently supports a maximum transmission speed of several million bits per second (Mbps). However, with the continued development of Internet of Things (IoT) services, such as video surveillance, smart home, wearable devices, and industrial sensing monitoring, these services typically require transmission speeds of tens to hundreds of Mbps. These services also have high latency requirements, making MTC and NB-IoT technologies in LTE inadequate to meet these service requirements. Given this situation, there is a need to further design new user equipment for 5G NR to cover these mid-level Internet of Things devices. In current 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) standardization, this new terminal type is called a Reduced Capability (Redcap) terminal, or simply NR-lite (simple new radio). Redcap terminals meet the requirements of low cost and low complexity, and can limit the radio frequency bandwidth of Redcap terminals to 5MHz or 10MHz, or limit the size of the NR-lite buffer, thereby limiting the size of each received transmission block. This achieves benefits such as power saving, simplified communication flow, and reduced number of times NR-lite users need to detect the downtown control channel.

[0053] In the related art, a terminal monitors L1-RSRP based on SSB. When the terminal randomly accesses a cell or needs to perform beam recovery in the event of a beam failure, the terminal needs to compare the detected L1-RSRP parameter with an RSRP threshold parameter of the SSB signal set in the system. If the L1-RSRP parameter is greater than the RSRP threshold parameter of the SSB signal, the terminal is permitted to use the SSB beam as a candidate beam and / or is permitted to access a cell based on the random access resource corresponding to the SSB beam.

[0054] In the related art, on the one hand, a coverage extension function is further introduced, and the coverage of a terminal that supports the coverage extension function is greater than the coverage of a terminal that does not support the coverage extension function, and on the other hand, Redcap terminals are further introduced, and some of the Redcap terminals have a loss of 3 dB in antenna radiation efficiency due to shape limitations.

[0055] Therefore, in the communication protocol of the related art, all terminals share the same RSRP threshold parameter of the SSB signal. However, terminal capabilities are different (for example, the capabilities of a Redcap terminal are different from those of a normal terminal), and the coverage that can be met is also different. Therefore, if all terminals share the same RSRP threshold SSB parameter, it cannot properly embody the differences in terminal capabilities and cannot properly utilize the coverage extension function provided by the terminal.

[0056] In view of the above technical problems, the present disclosure provides a network access method for setting multiple sets of RSRP threshold parameters for SSB signals, where the multiple sets of RSRP threshold SSB parameters can correspond to different types of terminals and / or coverage extension features supported by the terminals.

[0057] 2 is a flowchart of a network access method according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the network access method is applied to a terminal and includes the following steps S11 to S12.

[0058] In step S11, the parameters of the terminal are determined.

[0059] In step S12, a corresponding signal threshold is determined based on the parameters of the terminal.

[0060] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal determines its own parameters in the process of accessing a cell through the network, and determines a corresponding signal threshold for accessing the cell based on the terminal's own parameters. Here, the terminal can determine candidate signal thresholds through a system message, and determine a corresponding signal threshold in the candidate signal thresholds.

[0061] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a terminal can support one or more signal thresholds. In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, terminals with two different parameters can support the same signal threshold. In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, terminals with different parameters can support completely different signal thresholds, or terminals with different parameters can support completely different signal thresholds.

[0062] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the candidate signal threshold may be one candidate signal threshold or multiple candidate signal thresholds, each candidate signal threshold corresponding to a different terminal parameter.

[0063] In the network access method of the present disclosure, by determining candidate signal thresholds corresponding to terminal parameters, different candidate signal thresholds can be provided for terminals of different types and / or with different coverage capabilities, thereby meeting the access needs of terminals of different types and / or with different coverage capabilities, better embodying the differences between terminal capabilities, and better demonstrating the coverage extension functions supported by the terminals.

[0064] 3 is a flowchart of a network access method according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG. 3, the network access method is applied to a terminal and includes the following steps S21 to S22.

[0065] In step S21, the measurement values ​​of the measurement signals of the terminals are determined.

[0066] In step S22, in response to the measurement being greater than or equal to the signal threshold, it is determined that access is to be performed using a resource corresponding to the terminal's parameters.

[0067] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal compares the signal measurement value with the determined signal threshold, and determines that the cell can be accessed in response to the measurement value being equal to or greater than the signal threshold, and further determines access resources corresponding to the terminal parameters to perform cell access, and determines that the cell access is denied in response to the measurement value being equal to or less than the signal threshold.

[0068] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the parameter of the terminal is at least one of a type of the terminal and a coverage extension capability of the terminal.

[0069] Here, the terminal type may be a first type terminal and a second type terminal. For example, the first type terminal may be a normal terminal, and the second type terminal may be a Redcap terminal. Of course, the terminal type may also include other types of terminals, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not specifically limited thereto.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, each candidate signal threshold corresponds to a different terminal parameter, where at least one candidate signal threshold can be determined by a set of candidate signal thresholds, and at least one candidate signal threshold can be determined by different signaling.

[0073] In step S32, a corresponding signal threshold is determined from at least one candidate signal threshold based on the parameters of the terminal.

[0074] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal determines a corresponding signal threshold from at least one candidate signal threshold based on its own type and / or coverage extension capability and a correspondence relationship between each candidate signal threshold and the terminal's type and / or coverage extension capability.
