Description

Paging configuration method, terminal and network side equipment

[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the State Intellectual Property Office on August 21, 2023, with application number 202311054390.6 and application name “Paging Configuration Method, Terminal and Network Side Equipment”, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field

[0002] The present application belongs to the field of communication technology, and specifically relates to a paging configuration method, a terminal, and a network-side device. Background Art

[0003] A terminal device configured with multiple SIM cards (e.g., dual SIM cards or more) can be called a multi-SIM terminal device. A multi-SIM terminal device can contain multiple user equipment (UEs), which can be called multi-universal subscriber identity module (MUSIM) UEs or multi-SIM user equipment. The UE can be considered a contracting entity, which can be represented by a universal subscriber identity module (SIM) card. When multiple SIM cards are inserted into a multi-SIM terminal device or multiple electronic SIM card information is configured, the multi-SIM terminal device and different contracting entities can constitute different UEs.

[0004] The paging function requires the UE to reach a specific location to receive information from the network searching for the UE. This specific location includes a paging occasion (PO) or a paging frame (PF). A paging occasion is a subframe that may contain paging messages for multiple UEs. A paging frame is a radio frame that sends paging messages and may contain one or more paging occasions. When discontinuous reception (DRX) is enabled, to save power, the UE only monitors its own paging occasions within the DRX cycle. The frame numbers are from 0 to 1023.

[0005] In a multi-SIM terminal device, how the UE requests paging parameters from the network so that the network configures appropriate paging parameters for the UE is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in related technologies.

[0041] The paging configuration method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below through some embodiments and application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0042] As shown in FIG2 , an embodiment of the present application provides a paging configuration method 200 , which can be executed by a first UE and includes the following steps.

[0043] S202: The first UE sends first request information, where the first request information is used to request paging parameters.

[0044] Optionally, in various embodiments of the present application, the first UE (or referred to as UE1) and the second UE (or referred to as UE2) may belong to the same multi-SIM terminal device, and the first UE and the second UE may be referred to as multi-SIM user equipment (Multi-Universal Subscriber Identity Module User Equipment, MUSIM UE).

[0045] Optionally, in various embodiments of the present application, the first UE and the second UE reside in the same operator or the same cell. For example, when the first UE and the second UE reside in the same operator or the same cell, the first UE sends the first request information.

[0046] In various embodiments of the present application, the first request information may be used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0047] 1) UE identity requested for determining paging location.

[0048] Optionally, the UE identifier used in the request to determine the paging location may be the UE identifier of the second UE, so as to facilitate alignment of the paging locations of the first UE and the second UE, thereby facilitating energy saving of the terminal.

[0049] The paging location mentioned in various embodiments of the present application may include at least one of the following: a paging occasion (PO) or a paging frame (PF).

[0050] 2) A UE hash identifier of the request, where the UE hash identifier of the request is used to determine a paging hyperframe (PH).

[0051] Optionally, the UE hash identifier of the request may be the UE hash identifier of the second UE, so as to facilitate PH alignment of the first UE and the second UE, thereby facilitating energy saving of the terminal.

[0052] 3) Requested extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) parameter configuration.

[0053] Optionally, the eDRX parameter configuration of the request is the same as the eDRX parameter configuration of the second UE, thereby facilitating energy saving of the terminal.

[0054] The eDRX parameter configuration mentioned in various embodiments of the present application may include at least one of the following: an eDRX cycle, and a paging time window (PTW) length.

[0055] 4) Identification information of the first UE.

[0056] In some examples, the network may be aware in advance of the association between the first UE and the second UE, for example, that the first UE and the second UE belong to the same multi-SIM terminal device. If the first request information includes identification information of the first UE, the network may configure paging parameters for the first UE to align the paging positions of the first UE and the second UE, thereby facilitating terminal energy conservation.

[0057] 5) Identification information of the second UE.

[0058] This example facilitates the network to configure paging parameters for the first UE so that the paging positions of the first UE and the second UE are aligned, thereby facilitating energy saving of the terminal.

[0059] 6) Requested paging packet.

[0060] In this example, the first UE may request to be in the same paging group as the second UE, thereby facilitating terminal energy saving.

[0061] 7) Requested terminal-specific discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle.

[0062] Optionally, the terminal-specific DRX cycle requested by the first UE is the same as the terminal-specific DRX cycle of the second UE, thereby facilitating terminal energy saving.

[0063] 8) The reason or purpose of the request is multi-SIM (MUSIM).

[0064] In this example, the network configures paging parameters for the first UE so that the paging positions of the first UE and the second UE are aligned, thereby facilitating energy saving for the terminal.

[0065] 9) The first UE is a multi-SIM user equipment (MUSIM UE).

[0066] This example facilitates the network to configure paging parameters for the first UE so that the paging positions of the first UE and the second UE are aligned, thereby facilitating energy saving of the terminal.

[0067] 10) Part or all of the information carried by the first request information is information of the second UE.

[0068] For example, the following information carried by the first request information is information of the second UE: the requested UE identifier for determining the paging location, the requested UE hash identifier, the requested eDRX parameter configuration, the requested paging group, the requested terminal-specific DRX cycle, etc.

[0069] S204: The first UE receives a paging configuration, where the paging configuration is used to configure paging parameters for the first UE.

[0070] In the paging configuration method provided in an embodiment of the present application, a first UE sends a first request message, where the first request message is used to request paging parameters. The first request message can be used to indicate at least one of the following: a requested UE identifier for determining a paging location, a requested UE hash identifier, a requested eDRX parameter configuration, identification information of the first UE, identification information of the second UE, and a requested paging group; a requested terminal-specific DRX cycle, and the reason or purpose of the request is MUSIM; the first UE is a MUSIM UE, and part or all of the information carried in the first request message is information of the second UE. The above information indicated by the first request message facilitates the network to configure appropriate paging parameters for the terminal and improve communication performance.

[0071] It is understood that in the related art, when multiple UEs in a multi-SIM terminal device are in an idle (IDLE) state or an inactive (Inactive) state, the paging locations may not be aligned. That is, even if multiple MUSIM UEs reside in the same cell, the multi-SIM terminal device will receive paging for each UE using the paging location calculated based on the terminal identifier (UE ID). In the case of misaligned paging locations, the multi-SIM terminal device needs to monitor the PO multiple times in a DRX cycle. Similarly, when eDRX is configured, the multi-SIM terminal device may need to monitor the PO multiple times in an eDRX cycle.

[0072] The paging configuration method provided in the embodiment of the present application facilitates alignment of paging locations of MUSIM UEs in a multi-SIM terminal device when they reside in the same operator or even the same cell, through the content indicated by the first request information, thereby facilitating terminal energy saving.

[0073] The application scenarios of various embodiments of this application are as follows:

[0074] Scenario 1: In a MUSIM UE (eg, including UE1 and UE2), UE2 has been configured with eDRX by the core network, and UE1 requests the core network to configure eDRX.

[0075] In this scenario, one implementation method is: the first request information of UE1 uses the relevant information of UE2 to facilitate alignment of the paging locations of UE1 and UE2, thereby facilitating energy saving of the terminal.

[0076] Scenario 2: MUSIM UEs (eg, including UE1 and UE2) are all in IDLE state, and multiple UEs request eDRX simultaneously.

[0077] In this scenario, one implementation method is: after UE2 completes the eDRX configuration, UE1 sends a first request message to request eDRX configuration, wherein the first request message aligns or uses relevant information of UE2 to facilitate alignment of the paging locations of UE1 and UE2, thereby facilitating terminal energy saving.

[0078] Scenario 3: MUSIM UEs (eg, including UE1 and UE2) are all in IDLE state, and multiple UEs are configured with eDRX.

[0079] In this scenario, one implementation method is: when it is determined that eDRX is not aligned, UE1 sends a first request message to request adjustment of the eDRX configuration so that the paging positions of UE1 and UE2 are aligned, thereby facilitating terminal energy saving.

[0080] Through the negotiation of the paging parameter configurations described above, MUSIM UEs are aligned with their DRX cycles, eDRX cycles, paging time windows (PTW) lengths, PTW start and end points, and paging locations. This "alignment" includes strict alignment, approximate alignment, or overlap of paging locations. For example, UE1 and UE2 may have the same paging location, or the eDRX PTW monitored by UE1 may be part of the eDRX PTW monitored by UE2, thereby facilitating energy conservation for MUSIM UEs.

[0081] Optionally, the paging parameter is used to align the paging positions of the first UE and the second UE.

[0082] The paging location alignment of the first UE and the second UE mentioned in various embodiments of the present application may include at least one of the following:

[0083] 1) The DRX cycle or eDRX cycle of the first UE and the second UE is the same.

[0084] 2) The paging locations of the first UE and the second UE are the same or overlap, and the paging location may include PO or PF.

[0085] 3) The PTW positions of the first UE and the second UE are the same or overlap.

[0086] 4) The first UE and the second UE are allocated in the same paging group.

[0087] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the PTW positions and PO of UE1 and UE2 in Figure 3 are not aligned. Through the method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the PTW positions and PO of UE1 and UE2 in Figure 4 are aligned, which facilitates terminal energy saving.

[0088] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the DRX cycles of UE1 and UE2 in Figure 5 are the same, but the POs are not aligned; through the method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the POs of UE1 and UE2 in Figure 6 are aligned, which facilitates terminal energy saving.

[0089] As shown in FIG7 , the DRX cycles of UE1 and UE2 are different, but the POs of UE1 and UE2 overlap, which also means that the paging positions of UE1 and UE2 are aligned.

[0090] Optionally, in various embodiments of the present application, the paging configuration received by the first UE may include at least one of the following:

[0091] 1) A replacement UE identity, where the replacement UE identity is used to determine the paging location.

[0092] 2) Replace the UE hash identifier, where the replacement UE hash identifier is used to determine the PH.

[0093] Optionally, the replacement UE hash identifier is the same as the hash identifier of the second UE.

[0094] Optionally, the alternative UE hash identifier is 13 bits.

[0095] 3) Negotiated eDRX parameter configuration.

[0096] Optionally, the negotiated eDRX parameter configuration is the same as the eDRX parameter configuration requested by the first UE.

[0097] 4) Identification information of the second UE, where the identification information of the second UE is used to determine a paging location or associate the first UE with the second UE.

[0098] 5) Confirmation information of the association between the first UE and the second UE.

[0099] 6) Information of paging group.

[0100] Optionally, the information of the paging group is determined based on the first request information.

[0101] 7) Accepted terminal-specific DRX cycle.

[0102] Optionally, after the first UE receives the paging configuration, the method further includes at least one of the following:

[0103] 1) If the paging configuration includes the alternative UE identity, the first UE uses the alternative UE identity to calculate a hash identity or UE_ID_H, where UE_ID_H may be the 13 most significant bits of the Hashed ID.

[0104] 2) If the paging configuration does not include the alternative UE identifier, the first UE calculates a hash identifier or UE_ID_H using the 5G temporary user identifier (5G-S-TMSI) of the first UE.

[0105] 3) If the paging configuration includes the alternative UE hash identifier, the first UE calculates the PH using the alternative UE hash identifier.

[0106] 4) If the paging configuration does not include the alternative UE hash identifier, the first UE calculates the PH using the UE_ID_H of the first UE.

[0107] Optionally, in each of the above embodiments, the first UE sending the first request information includes: when the first UE is configured with idle eDRX to monitor core network paging, and the second UE is configured with inactive eDRX or idle eDRX, the first UE sends the first request information.

[0108] Optionally, in each of the above embodiments, the paging parameters configured for the first UE include a negotiated eDRX parameter configuration. In one example, the negotiated eDRX parameter configuration is determined based on the following information included in the first request information: the eDRX parameter configuration requested by the first UE and identification information of the second UE. In another example, the negotiated eDRX parameter configuration is determined by the access network device based on paging assistance information from a core network device, and the core network device may receive the first request information from the terminal.

[0109] Optionally, in each of the above embodiments, the first UE and the second UE are assigned to the same paging group; wherein, the first request information is also used to indicate that the first UE and the second UE are associated; or, the first request information includes the requested UE identifier for determining the paging location, and the requested UE identifier for determining the paging location is used to determine the paging location or the paging group; the paging configuration includes an alternative UE identifier, and the alternative UE identifier is used to determine the paging location or the paging group.

[0110] To illustrate the paging configuration method provided in the embodiments of the present application in detail, several specific embodiments will be described below.

[0111] Example 1

[0112] In this embodiment, the core network configures eDRX parameters for the first UE, such as T eDRX,CN .

[0113] The core network configures the aligned T eDRX,CN The method comprises the following steps:

[0114] Step 1: UE1 sends first request information to the network, where the first request information is used to provide the network with information for configuring eDRX.

[0115] Without loss of generality, the UE is a MUSIM UE.

[0116] The first request information may include or indicate at least one of the following:

[0117] 1) Requested UE ID for determining the paging location (Requested UE ID). Such as the lower N bits of the 5G-S-TMSI, where N is greater than or equal to 32 bits. In one implementation, the 5G-S-TMSI bits are part or all of the 5G-S-TMSI bits of UE2 in the MUSIM UE.

[0118] By reporting the 5G-S-TMSI bit information, it is convenient to negotiate with the network to replace the UE identity for associating with the MUSIM UE, determining the paging location, and calculating the UE_ID_H or superframe.

[0119] Among them, the MUSIM UE is associated, for example, the UE2 ID is reported, such as all bits of the 5G-S-TMSI, and the core network associates the UE1 with the UE2 corresponding to the reported 5G-S-TMSI, or in other words, the UE1 and the UE2 corresponding to the reported 5G-S-TMSI are in the same multi-card terminal MUSIM UE.

[0120] 2) Requested UE Hashed ID.

[0121] The hash identifier may also be referred to as a hash identifier. The requested UE hash identifier is used to negotiate with the network a portion or all of the hash identifiers of UE1. In one implementation method, the requested UE hash identifier is the UE_ID_H of UE2 in the MUSIM UE, where UE_ID_H is the 13 most significant bits of the hash identifier.

[0122] By providing the requested 13-bit UE_ID_H to negotiate the core network paging superframe (PH), the signaling load can be reduced compared to reporting the 48-bit or 32-bit 5G-S-TMSI.

[0123] 3) Requested eDRX parameters (i.e., Requested extended DRX parameters) configuration.

[0124] The eDRX parameter configuration includes the eDRX cycle and PTW length. The eDRX parameter configuration requested by the MUSIM UEs is the same. For example, UE1 and UE2 in a multi-SIM terminal device request the same eDRX parameter configuration, such as the eDRX cycle and PTW length.

[0125] 4) First indication information, used for any one of the following: identification information of the first UE; the cause (Cause) or purpose (Purpose) of the request is multi-SIM (MUSIM); UE1 is a multi-SIM user equipment (MUSIM UE); information indicating that the UE identification information for determining the paging location requested above, or the requested UE hash identifier or the requested eDRX parameter configuration is a MUSIM-associated UE.

[0126] Optionally, the first request information is included in any one of the following messages:

[0127] 1) Registration request message (Registration Req, Registration Update).

[0128] 2) Attachment request message (Attach Req, Reattach req).

[0129] 3) Tracking Area Update Request message (Tracking Area Update Request).

[0130] Step 2: UE1 receives first configuration information sent by the network, where the first configuration information is used to configure eDRX-related information.

[0131] The first configuration information includes at least one of the following:

[0132] 1) Alternative UE identification information (Alternative UE ID, or accepted UE ID).

[0133] The replacement UE identification information is used for at least one of the following:

[0134] a: Calculate UE_ID_H, that is, the network and UE1 use the alternative UE identification information to calculate UE_ID_H.

[0135] A calculation method, where UE_ID_H is the 13 most significant bits of a hash identifier, and the hash identifier is a 32-bit (ie, bits b31, b30 . . . , b0) frame check sequence (FCS) that replaces the UE identifier.

[0136] b: Align the paging location. For example, the lowest 10 bits of the UE identification information are used to calculate the paging location, such as the PO location.

[0137] c: Associate with MUSIM UE.

[0138] For example, UE1 reports the UE2 ID, such as all bits of the 5G-S-TMSI, and the core network associates the UE1 with the UE2 corresponding to the reported 5G-S-TMSI. In other words, the UE1 and the UE2 corresponding to the reported 5G-S-TMSI are in the same MUSIM UE.

[0139] 2) Alternative UE Hashed ID, also known as Negotiated UE Hashed ID. A hash ID is also known as a hash ID.

[0140] The replacement UE hash identifier is used to calculate a paging superframe (PH).

[0141] In one implementation method, the replacement UE hash identifier sent by the network is the same as the UE hash identifier requested by the UE.

[0142] In one embodiment, the UE hash identifier is replaced with 13 bits. By providing an alternative 13-bit UE_ID_H to determine the paging superframe PH, the signaling load can be reduced compared to using a 48-bit or 32-bit 5G-S-TMSI.

[0143] 3) Negotiated eDRX parameter configuration.

[0144] eDRX parameters include eDRX cycle, PTW length, etc.

[0145] Optionally, the negotiated eDRX parameter configuration is the same as the value requested by UE1.

[0146] Optionally, the first configuration information is included in any one of the following messages:

[0147] 1) Registration Accept message (Registration Accept).

[0148] 2) Attach Accept message (Attach Accept).

[0149] 3) Tracking Area Update Accept message (Tracking Area Update Accept).

[0150] Step 3: UE1 calculates the paging superframe (PH), including at least one of the following (this step is also applicable to the network):

[0151] If the UE1 is configured with the alternative UE identification information, the UE1 uses the alternative UE identification information to calculate a hashed ID or UE_ID_H.

[0152] Right now:

[0153] If UE1 is not configured with the alternative UE identification information, UE1 uses its own 5G-S-TMSI to calculate the hash identity or UE_ID_H.

[0154] If UE1 is configured with the alternative UE hash identifier, UE1 uses the alternative UE hash identifier to calculate a paging superframe (PH).

[0155] The H-SFN corresponding to the core network paging superframe PH satisfies the following equation:

[0156] If UE1 is not configured with the alternative UE hash identifier, UE1 calculates PH using UE_ID_H.

[0157] In addition, when the eDRX cycle is greater than 10.24 seconds, UE1 and UE2 align the following parameters: eDRX cycle; PTW window length; PTW start position.

[0158] Example 2

[0159] In this embodiment, an access network device (such as a base station) configures aligned eDRX for UE1 and UE2.

[0160] In this embodiment, the MUSIM UE monitors core network paging according to idle eDRX and access network device paging according to the ran-ExtendedPagingCycle.

[0161] Optionally, UE1 requests aligned inactive eDRX from RAN, that is, a ran-ExtendedPagingCycle parameter.

[0162] The signaling process is as follows:

[0163] Method 1: Core network configuration.

[0164] Based on the first embodiment, the core network sends paging assistance information to the base station, where the paging assistance information includes at least one of the following:

[0165] 1) A replacement UE identity, where the replacement UE identity is used to determine the paging location.

[0166] 2) Replace the UE hash identifier, where the replacement UE hash identifier is used to determine the PH.

[0167] 3) Negotiated eDRX parameter configuration.

[0168] 4) eDRX parameter configuration requested by UE1, namely ran-ExtendedPagingCycle.

[0169] 5) Identification information of UE2.

[0170] 6) The reason or purpose of the request is MUSIM.

[0171] 7) UE1 is a MUSIM UE.

[0172] 8) Part or all of the information carried in the first request information is information of UE2.

[0173] The auxiliary information helps the base station configure desired eDRX parameters for UE1.

[0174] The base station configures the ran-ExtendedPagingCycle for UE1. The configuration process of the ran-ExtendedPagingCycle is the same as that in the above embodiment.

[0175] Method 2: UE1 negotiates with the base station on a ran-ExtendedPagingCycle, including the following steps.

[0176] Step 1: UE1 sends a first request message to the network, where the request message includes a requested ran-ExtendedPagingCycle, or associated MUSIM UE identification information (ie, identification information of UE2).

[0177] Step 2: The base station configures the ran-ExtendedPagingCycle to UE1. The configuration process is the same as the previous embodiment.

[0178] The first request information may be included in a UE assistance information message, a radio resource control (RRC) recovery request message, or the like.

[0179] Example 3

[0180] This embodiment mainly introduces eDRX alignment.

[0181] In a MUSIM UE, when UE1 is configured with idle eDRX to monitor core network paging and UE2 is configured with inactive eDRX and idle eDRX, UE1 can implement paging position alignment under the eDRX configuration according to the method of embodiment 1.

[0182] Example 4

[0183] This embodiment mainly introduces DRX alignment, such as UE1 negotiating with the network to align DRX and paging occasions, including the following steps.

[0184] Step 1: UE1 sends a first request message to the network, including at least one of the following:

[0185] 1) Requested DRX cycle: The requested DRX cycle may be a UE-specific DRX cycle.

[0186] 2) Associated MUSIM UE identification information, such as identification information of UE2.

[0187] 3) The requested UE identifier for determining the paging location, such as all or part of the 5G-S-TMSI bits, such as the last 10 bits.

[0188] The first request information may be included in messages such as UE assistance information message, registration request, tracking area update request, and attach request.

[0189] When DRX is not aligned, UE1 in the MUSIM UE sends the first request information.

[0190] Step 2: The network configures at least one of the following for UE1:

[0191] 1) Terminal-specific DRX cycle

[0192] 2) Replace the UE identity and use it to calculate the paging location.

[0193] Example 5

[0194] This embodiment mainly introduces how to align DRX when eDRX is configured.

[0195] In the MUSIM UE, UE2 is configured with idle eDRX to monitor core network paging. When UE1 is not configured with eDRX, UE1 aligns the DRX configuration according to the method of the fourth embodiment.

[0196] Example 6

[0197] This embodiment mainly introduces eDRX alignment.

[0198] In a MUSIM UE, when UE2 is configured with idle eDRX and inactive eDRX, and UE1 is not configured with eDRX, UE1 aligns DRX configurations according to the method of embodiment 4, including aligning UE1's terminal-specific DRX cycle with UE2's terminal-specific DRX cycle and aligning paging positions.

[0199] Example 7

[0200] This embodiment mainly introduces how to adjust the paging group so that the Paging Early Indication (PEI) of UE1 and UE2 are the same.

[0201] Adjusting the paging group means that MUSIM UEs monitor the same PO and are assigned to the same paging subgroup, which helps UEs save energy.

[0202] Method 1: Configure the paging group in the core network.

[0203] Based on the association information of MUSIM UEs, they are configured to the same PEI group and the association relationship is reported during registration. The same PEI group is assigned after registration is completed.

[0204] Similar to the first embodiment, UE1 sends a request message to the network, and the core network allocates UE1 and UE2 in the MUSIM UE to the same paging subgroup.

[0205] Method 2: Paging group based on UE identity.

[0206] The first request message sent by UE1 to the network includes the requested UE identifier for determining the paging location, which is used to calculate the paging location or paging group, such as the lower 13 bits or 15 bits of the 5G-S-TMSI.

[0207] UE1 receives the paging configuration sent by the network, which includes an alternative UE identity for calculating the paging position or paging group.

[0208] Example 8

[0209] This embodiment mainly introduces that the associated MUSIM UE uses aligned paging configuration, including eDRX or DRX or paging group.

[0210] One method is that the network uses aligned or identical paging configurations for associated MUSIM UEs.

[0211] The associated MUSIM UE refers to multiple UEs in the same multi-SIM user equipment, such as UE1 and UE2.
