[0081] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and apparatus for processing MBS service data, a communication device, and a storage medium.

[0082] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for processing broadcast multicast MBS service data, which is executed by a terminal and includes: when a first cell activates cell discontinuous transmission DTX, monitoring the MBS service data within the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0083] In the above embodiment, when the first cell activates cell DTX, the MBS service data is sent at the activation time of the cell DTX, and the terminal monitors the MBS service data at the activation time of the cell DTX. On the one hand, the transmission of the MBS service data is realized, and on the other hand, the cell DTX of the first cell is carried out as usual to achieve energy saving of the network equipment.

[0084] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0085] A first configuration of the cell DTX is sent by a receiving network device; the first configuration is used by the terminal to determine an activation time of the cell DTX.

[0086] In the above embodiment, the network device sends the first configuration of the cell DTX, so the terminal can receive the first configuration of the cell DTX and thereby know the activation time of the cell DTX of the first cell, so as to receive MBS service data.

[0087] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the first configuration is carried in system information or multicast control channel (MCCH) signaling; the system information or the MCCH signaling carries the first configuration for the cell DTX; the system information is used to configure the MCCH; the MCCH signaling is transmitted on the MCCH, and the MCCH signaling is used to configure MBS service data. The above solution carries the first configuration in network signaling related to the configuration and / or scheduling of MBS service data, eliminating the need to send the first configuration via additional dedicated signaling. This can save network device signaling overhead and reduce the transmission of the first configuration at unnecessary times.

[0088] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0089] Send a first indication; the first indication is used to indicate the activation or deactivation of the cell DTX.

[0090] Based on the above solution, by sending the first indication, the network device can clearly inform its own cell of the activation or deactivation of DTX.

[0091] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments,

[0092] The first indication is carried in the system information or the multicast control channel MCCH signaling or the downlink control signaling DCI; the system information or the MCCH signaling carries the first configuration of the cell DTX; the system information is used to configure the MCCH; the MCCH signaling is transmitted on the MCCH, and the MCCH signaling is used to configure MBS service data; the DCI is used to schedule the MBS service data or the MCCH signaling or the system information.

[0093] Based on the above solution, the first indication is carried in the network instruction related to MBS service data configuration or scheduling, and the first indication is sent without additional dedicated signaling, which can save network device signaling overhead and reduce the sending of the first indication at unnecessary times.

[0094] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0095] In a case where the first cell activates the cell DTX, the second configuration of the DRX of the terminal is ignored and the DRX of the terminal is performed according to the first configuration of the cell DTX.

[0096] Based on the above solution, the terminal no longer executes DRX according to the second configuration but executes DRX according to the first configuration. This ensures that the terminal can monitor the MBS service data when the cell DTX is activated while executing DRX, thereby achieving energy saving for network equipment and terminals while ensuring the normal transmission of MBS service data.

[0097] In combination with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the running time of the DRX duration timer of the terminal at least partially overlaps with the activation time of the DTX of the cell.

[0098] Based on the above solution, the running time of the terminal's DRX duration timer and the activation time of the cell DTX at least partially overlap, so that the terminal can continue to perform DRX according to the second configuration and can monitor MBS service data when the cell DTX is activated.

[0099] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0100] In a case where the running time of the DRX duration timer of the terminal completely overlaps with the activation time of the cell DTX, not starting the DRX inactivity timer of the terminal; or,

[0102] When the inactivity timer is started, the terminal can monitor the MBS service data within the running time of the non-persistent timer.

[0103] Based on the above solution, the start of the terminal's inactivity timer is standardized, so that the running time of the terminal's inactivity timer can be included in the activation time of the cell DTX, so that the terminal monitors MBS service data during the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0104] In combination with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, determining whether to start the inactivity timer according to whether the start time of the DRX inactivity timer of the terminal overlaps with the activation time of the cell DTX includes at least one of the following:

[0105] When the start time of the inactivation timer overlaps with the activation time of the DTX of the cell, determining to start the DRX activation timer;

[0106] When the start time of the inactivation timer does not overlap with the activation time of the cell DTX, it is determined not to start the DRX activation timer.

[0107] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0108] When the activation time of the cell DTX stops, the inactivation timer is stopped.

[0109] Based on the above solution, the inactivity timer is stopped when the activation time of the cell DTX stops, so that the running time of the inactivity timer can be ensured to be within the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0111] When receiving the instruction to start the inactivity timer, it is determined whether to start the inactivity timer according to whether the start time of the DRX inactivity timer of the terminal overlaps with the activation time of the DTX of the cell.

[0112] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for processing broadcast multicast MBS service data, where the method is performed by a network device and includes:

[0113] In the case where the first cell activates cell discontinuous transmission (DTX), the MBS service data is sent within the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0114] Based on the above solution, when the cell DTX is activated, the first cell will send MBS service data within the activation time of the cell DTX, which on the one hand ensures the transmission of MBS service data, and on the other hand enables the cell DTX to be executed to achieve energy saving of network equipment.

[0115] In conjunction with some embodiments of the second aspect, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0116] A first configuration is sent, where the first configuration is used by the terminal to determine an activation time of the cell DTX.

[0117] In combination with some embodiments of the second aspect, in some embodiments, the first indication is carried in system information or multicast control channel MCCH signaling or downlink control signaling DCI; the system information or the MCCH signaling carries the first configuration of the cell DTX; the system information is used to configure MCCH; the MCCH signaling is transmitted on the MCCH, and the MCCH signaling is used to configure MBS service data.

[0118] In conjunction with some embodiments of the second aspect, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0119] A first indication is sent, where the first indication is used to indicate activation or deactivation of DTX of the cell.

[0120] In combination with some embodiments of the second aspect, in some embodiments, the first indication is carried in system information or multicast control channel MCCH signaling or downlink control signaling DCI; the system information or the MCCH signaling carries the first configuration of the cell DTX; the system information is used to configure MCCH; the MCCH signaling is transmitted on the MCCH, and the MCCH signaling is used to configure MBS service data; the DCI is used to schedule the MBS service data.

[0121] In combination with some embodiments of the second aspect, in some embodiments, the running time of the DRX duration timer of the terminal at least partially overlaps with the activation time of the DTX of the cell.

[0122] In conjunction with some embodiments of the second aspect, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0123] Sending an instruction to start a DRX inactivity timer of the terminal.

[0124] In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for processing MBS service data, which is executed by a terminal. The method includes:

[0125] The configuration and / or activation status of discontinuous transmission (DTX) of the cell is ignored, and the MBS service data is monitored according to the scheduling instruction of the MBS service data.

[0126] Based on the above solution, the configuration and / or activation status of the cell DTX is ignored, and the MBS service is monitored according to the scheduling instructions of the MBS service data. On the one hand, the network equipment can continue to execute the cell DTX to achieve network energy saving, and on the other hand, continue to send MBS service data to ensure the normal transmission of MBS service data.

[0127] In a fourth aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for processing broadcast multicast MBS service data, which is executed by a network device and includes: ignoring the configuration and / or activation of discontinuous transmission (DTX) of the cell and sending the service data.

[0128] In a fifth aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for processing broadcast multicast MBS service data, where the method is executed by a terminal and includes:

[0129] When the first cell activates the cell discontinuous transmission DTX, the MBS service data that is being monitored or to be monitored is performed, and cell reselection is performed.

[0130] Based on the above solution, when the first cell enters cell DTX, MBS service data may not be sent. At this time, if the terminal wants to receive MBS service data or receive MBS service data while executing DRX, it can reselect to other cells that have not activated cell DTX, thereby realizing the replacement of the resident cell through cell reselection, so that the cell that activates cell DTX can save energy as soon as possible. It also takes into account that if the terminal wants to execute DRX, it can receive MBS service data when DRX is activated, which also realizes terminal energy saving.

[0131] In conjunction with some embodiments of the fifth aspect, in some embodiments, the performing cell reselection on MBS service data that is being monitored or to be monitored when the first cell activates cell discontinuous transmission DTX includes:

[0132] MBS service data that is being monitored or to be monitored when the first cell activates discontinuous cell transmission (DTX) is updated from a first priority to a second priority for the frequency layer of the first cell; the second priority is lower than the first priority;

[0133] Cell reselection is performed according to the second priority.

[0134] Based on the above solution, by setting the priority of the frequency layer, the terminal can be prevented from reselecting the first cell, thereby ensuring that the terminal cell is reselected to other cells that are not configured or activated for cell DTX, thereby ensuring that the terminal successfully receives MBS service data.

[0135] In a sixth aspect, a method for processing broadcast multicast MBS service data is provided, where the method is executed by a terminal and includes:

[0136] When the first cell activates cell discontinuous transmission (DTX), it is determined that the first cell has MBS service data to be sent, and it is determined that the cell DTX of the first cell is deactivated.

[0137] Based on the above solution, when MBS service data is transmitted in the first cell, it can be assumed that the network device will deactivate the cell DTX deactivation. Therefore, when its own DRX is activated, the terminal can monitor MBS service data according to the DRX activation time, achieving energy saving while monitoring MBS service data. When its own DRX is not activated, it can monitor MBS services in the entire time domain or monitor MBS service data of interest according to scheduling instructions.

[0200] FIG1A is a schematic diagram showing the architecture of a communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0201] As shown in Figure 1A, communication system 100 includes a terminal 101 and a network device 102. Network device 102 may include an access network device and / or a core network device. In some embodiments, the terminal may communicate with the core network device via the access network device. In other embodiments, the terminal communicates with the core network device using Non-Access Stratum (NAS) messages. The NAS messages may be transparently transmitted from the access network device to the core network device, or from the core network device to the terminal via the access network device.

[0202] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 includes, for example, a mobile phone, a wearable device, an Internet of Things device, a car with communication function, a smart car, a tablet computer, a computer with wireless transceiver function, a virtual reality (VR) terminal device, an augmented reality (AR) terminal device, a wireless terminal device in industrial control, a wireless terminal device in self-driving, a wireless terminal device in remote medical surgery, a wireless terminal device in a smart grid, a wireless terminal device in transportation safety, a wireless terminal device in a smart city, and at least one of a wireless terminal device in a smart home, but is not limited thereto.

[0203] In some embodiments, the terminal is also referred to as User Equipment (UE).

[0204] In some embodiments, the access network device may be, for example, a node or device that accesses a terminal to a wireless network. The access network device may include an evolved NodeB (eNB), a next generation evolved NodeB (ng-eNB), a next generation NodeB (gNB), a node B (NB), a home node B (HNB), a home evolved nodeB (HeNB), a wireless backhaul device, a radio network controller (RNC), a base station controller (BSC), a base transceiver station (BTS), a base band unit (BBU), a mobile switching center, a base station in a 6G communication system, an open base station (Open RAN), a cloud base station (Cloud RAN), a base station in other communication systems, and at least one of an access node in a Wi-Fi system, but is not limited thereto.

[0205] In some embodiments, the technical solution of the present disclosure can be applied to the Open RAN architecture. In this case, the interfaces between or within the access network devices involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be transformed into internal interfaces of the Open RAN, and the processes and information interactions between these internal interfaces can be implemented through software or programs.

[0206] In some embodiments, the access network device can be composed of a centralized unit (CU) and a distributed unit (DU), where the CU can also be called a control unit. The CU-DU structure can be used to split the protocol layer of the access network device, with the functions of some protocol layers centrally controlled by the CU, and the functions of the remaining part or all of the protocol layers distributed in the DU, which is centrally controlled by the CU, but is not limited to this.

[0207] In some embodiments, the core network device may be a single device including a first network element, or may be a plurality of devices or a group of devices, each including a first network element. The network element may be virtual or physical. The core network may include, for example, at least one of an Evolved Packet Core (EPC), a 5G Core Network (5GCN), and a Next Generation Core (NGC).

[0208] It can be understood that the communication system described in the embodiment of the present disclosure is for the purpose of more clearly illustrating the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure, and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure. Ordinary technicians in this field can know that with the evolution of the system architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0209] The following embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to the communication system 100 shown in FIG1A , or a portion thereof, but are not limited thereto. The entities shown in FIG1A are illustrative only. The communication system may include all or part of the entities shown in FIG1A , or may include other entities other than those shown in FIG1A . The number and form of the entities may be arbitrary. The connection relationship between the entities is illustrative only. The entities may be connected or disconnected, and the connection may be in any manner, including direct or indirect, wired or wireless.

[0210] The embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE-Advanced (LTE-A), LTE-Beyond (LTE-B), SUPER 3G, IMT-Advanced, 4th generation mobile communication system (4G), 5th generation mobile communication system (5G), 5G new radio (NR), future radio access (FRA), new radio access technology (RAT), new radio (NR), new radio access (NX), future generation radio access (FX), Global System for Mobile communications (GSM (registered trademark)), CDMA2000, Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.20, Ultra-WideBand (UWB), Bluetooth (registered trademark), Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), Device-to-Device (D2D) systems, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) systems, Internet of Things (IoT) systems, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X), systems utilizing other MBS service data processing methods, and next-generation systems based on these. Furthermore, multiple systems may be combined (for example, LTE or LTE-A combined with 5G) for application.

[0211] To achieve network energy conservation and reduce network equipment energy consumption, cell discontinuous transmission (DTX) is introduced. When cell DTX is activated, the cell switches between the inactive period (also known as the dormant state) and the active state according to the DTX cycle of the cell DTX. For example, as shown in Figure 1B, a cell DTX cycle includes an active period and a non-active period. During the active period, the cell performs downlink transmission. During the non-active period, the cell does not perform downlink transmission. In this way, by shortening the length of the network equipment activation period, the power consumption of the network equipment is reduced, thereby achieving network energy conservation.

[0212] MBS service data may include MBS broadcast service data broadcast by the cell and / or MBS multicast service data multicast by the cell. Generally, MBS service data needs to be scheduled before it is sent. In one example, the scheduling process of MBS service data may be as follows:

[0213] System Information Block (SIB) 20 configuration ((Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service, MBMS) Control Channel, MCCH);

[0214] Send MCCH signaling on MCCH. The MCCH signaling is used to configure the MBS traffic channel (MTCH);

[0215] The scheduling instruction for sending MBS service data may be scrambled by a Group Radio Network Temporary Identity (G-RNTI). For example, the scheduling instruction may include but is not limited to DCI.

[0216] MBS service data is sent on MTCH.

[0217] Specifically, the following contents are relevant to MBS service data:

[0218] Configure MCCH through SIB20;

[0219] MCCH signaling configuration MTCH transmitted by MCCH;

[0220] Sending a scheduling instruction, where the scheduling instruction for MBS service data is scrambled using the G-RNTI corresponding to the MBS service data;

[0221] MBS service data is sent on MTCH.

[0222] When performing cell DTX, paging messages, system information and / or random access for terminals in the RRC idle state are not affected by the cell DTX. However, there is no relevant consideration for MBS service data in the cell.

[0223] FIG2A is an interactive diagram illustrating a method for processing MBS service data according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2A , the method for processing MBS service data provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure may be used in a communication system 100. The method includes:

[0224] S2101: The network device sends a first instruction.

[0225] In some embodiments, the first indication is used to indicate activation or deactivation of cell DTX.

[0226] In some embodiments, when the first indication indicates that the cell DTX is activated, the cell can perform downlink transmission during the activation time according to the DTX cycle of the cell DTX, and stop downlink transmission during the inactivation time.

[0227] In some embodiments, when the first indication indicates that the cell DTX is not activated, the cell will not perform downlink transmission according to the DTX cycle of the cell DTX.

[0228] In some embodiments, the network device sends system information carrying the first indication. Exemplarily, the network device sends SIB2 carrying the first indication. Optionally, the network device may also send the first indication via a Master Information Block (MIB) or other system information blocks.

[0229] In some embodiments, the first indication may explicitly or implicitly indicate activation or deactivation of cell DTX. For example, the first indication may be a first configuration. The first configuration may also be carried in a system message and / or MCCH signaling. In some embodiments, the first configuration is a cell DTX configuration for the first cell.

[0230] In some embodiments, the first configuration includes at least one of a DTX period, an activation time duration, and an inactivation time duration. As shown in FIG1B , after activating cell DTX, the network device can perform downlink transmission during the activation time and not perform downlink transmission during the inactivation time.

[0231] In some embodiments, the network device broadcasts system information. Exemplarily, the network device sends SIB20.

[0232] In some implementations, the SIB20 is used to schedule MCCH.

[0233] In some embodiments, the MCCH is used to transmit MCCH signaling.

[0234] In some embodiments, MCCH signaling is used to configure MBS service data. Optionally, when the network device configures MBS service data in MCCH signaling, the transmission time of the MBS service data may be configured within the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0235] In some embodiments, the MBS service data includes an MBS broadcast service and / or an MBS multicast service.

[0236] In some embodiments, downlink control information (DCI) schedules MBS service data configured by MCCH signaling.

[0237] In some embodiments, DCI is also used to schedule MCCH signaling and / or system information.

[0238] In some embodiments, when the network device configures MBS service data, it does not refer to the first configuration of the cell DTX. Then, when the DCI schedules the MBS service data, the network device can schedule the transmission of the MBS service data within the activation time of the cell DTX according to the first configuration.

[0239] In some embodiments, the network device sends MCCH signaling carrying the first indication. Exemplarily, the MCCH signaling carrying the first indication may be MCCH signaling for configuring MBS service data, or may be MCCH signaling not for configuring MBS service data.

[0240] In some embodiments, the network device sends a DCI carrying the first indication. The DCI may be used to schedule MBS service data or may not be used to schedule MBS service data.

[0241] In some embodiments, if the system information sent by the network device includes the first indication, the MCCH signaling may not carry the first indication.

[0242] In some embodiments, if the system information sent by the network device does not include the first indication, the MCCH signaling may carry the first indication.

[0243] In some embodiments, both the system information and the MCCH signaling may carry the first indication, and the indication contents of the first indication carried by the system information and the first indication carried by the second MCCH signaling may be the same or different.

[0244] In some embodiments, the first indication may be broadcast, multicast, or unicast by the network device.If the terminal is in an RRC idle state or an RRC inactive state, the network device may broadcast the first configuration and / or the first indication.

[0245] In some embodiments, when the system information or MCCH signaling carries the first indication, the DCI may or may not carry the first indication.

[0246] In some embodiments, when the system information and MCCH signaling do not carry the first indication, the DCI may carry the first indication.

[0247] In some cases, when the network device has MBS service data to be sent and the cell DTX is activated, the system information or MCCH signaling carries the first configuration of the cell DTX. In this case, when the terminal receives the first configuration, it can be considered that the cell DTX is activated, and the network device does not need to send the first indication, that is, the terminal does not need to receive the first indication from the network device.

[0248] It is worth noting that: S2101 is an optional step, and the network device has other ways to notify the terminal itself to enter or exit the cell DTX.

[0249] S2102: The terminal disables DRX of the terminal.

[0250] In some embodiments, the terminal may be in an RRC connected state, an RRC idle state, or an RRC inactive state.

[0251] Cell DTX refers to discontinuous transmission of a cell. For example, a terminal can perform downlink transmission during the activation time of cell DTX, and does not perform downlink transmission during the inactivation time of cell DTX.

[0252] DRX of a terminal refers to discontinuous reception of the terminal. For example, the terminal can perform downlink reception during the DRX activation time, and cannot perform downlink reception during the DRX inactivation time.

[0253] In the case where cell DTX is not configured, if the terminal is not configured with DRX, the terminal can monitor MBS service data in the entire time domain.

[0254] In the case where cell DTX is configured but not activated, if the terminal is not configured with DRX, the terminal can monitor MBS service data in the entire time domain.

[0255] In the case where cell DTX is configured but not activated, if the terminal is configured with DRX but DRX is not enabled, the terminal can monitor MBS service data in the entire time domain.

[0256] In the case where cell DTX is configured but not activated, if the terminal is configured with DRX and DRX is enabled, the terminal monitors MBS service data within the DRX activation time.

[0257] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in the case where cell DTX is configured and activated, if the terminal is not configured with DRX, the terminal may monitor MBS service data in the entire time domain.

[0258] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in the case where cell DTX is configured and activated, if the terminal is configured with DRX but DRX is not enabled, the terminal may monitor MBS service data in the entire time domain.

[0259] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in the case of configured and activated cell DTX, if the terminal is configured with DRX and has enabled DRX, the terminal will disable DRX and the terminal can monitor MBS service data in the entire time domain.

[0260] In some embodiments, when cell DTX is configured and activated, if the terminal is configured with DRX and has enabled DRX and when the first indication indicates that the cell DTX is activated, DRX of the terminal is disabled.

[0261] In some embodiments, when the first indication indicates that the cell DTX is activated and the terminal has DRX enabled, the terminal disables DRX of the terminal.

[0262] In some embodiments, when cell DTX is configured and activated, if the terminal is configured with DRX and has enabled DRX, when the first indication indicates that cell DTX is activated and the terminal has MBS service data transmission to receive, the terminal's DRX is disabled.

[0263] In some embodiments, the first indication is carried by DCI.

[0264] In some embodiments, the DCI carrying the first indication may be a DCI that schedules MBS service data, or may be a DCI that does not schedule MBS service data.

[0265] As another example, when the network device schedules MBS service data transmission without DCI according to the configuration of MCCH signaling, the terminal can disable DRX of the terminal when MBS service data transmission starts according to the configuration of MBS service data by MCCH signaling.

[0266] In some embodiments, the terminal disables DRX upon receiving MCCH signaling carrying the first configuration and configuring MBS service data. For example, when the first cell activates cell DTX and uses MCCH signaling to configure MBS service data, the terminal may believe that the network device will begin transmitting MBS service data. Therefore, the terminal may enable DRX transmission by disabling the terminal.

[0267] In some embodiments, when cell DTX is configured and activated (active), if the terminal is configured with DRX and has enabled DRX and the first configuration of cell DTX indicates that cell DTX is activated, the terminal disables DRX.

[0268] In some embodiments, when cell DTX is configured and activated (active), if the terminal is configured with DRX and has enabled DRX, and when the first configuration of cell DTX indicates that cell DTX is activated and the terminal has MBS service data to transmit and the terminal has MBS service data that the terminal needs to receive or is interested in receiving, DRX is disabled. In this way, unnecessary DRX disabling of the terminal can be reduced, allowing the terminal to perform DRX for a longer period of time, thereby saving power consumption of the terminal.

[0269] Here, the DRX of the terminal may include at least one of the following:

[0270] Broadcast DRX for MBS broadcast services;

[0271] Multicast DRX for MBS multicast services.

[0272] In some embodiments, the terminal performs DRX according to a second configuration. Exemplarily, the second configuration may include but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0273] DRX cycle;

[0274] Duration information of the DRX onduration timer;

[0275] The duration of the DRX inactivity timer, etc.

[0276] The persistence timer starts at the beginning of each DRX cycle and the terminal remains active during the duration of the persistence timer.

[0277] The inactivity timer is started when receiving a start instruction from a network device or a scheduling instruction for data transmission. Similarly, the terminal remains active during the running time of the inactivity timer.

[0278] The terminal is able to receive downlink transmissions in the activated state.

[0279] When a cell is in DTX mode, the network device sends MBS service data during the cell DTX activation period. If the terminal is DRX-enabled at this time, and the terminal's DRX inactivation period coincides with the cell DTX activation period, the terminal will miss the opportunity to monitor MBS service data, resulting in the terminal being unable to receive MBS service data. In the disclosed embodiments, the terminal disables DRX, thereby avoiding this problem.

[0280] S2103: The network device sends MBS service data within the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0281] In some embodiments, the network device sends the MBS broadcast service during the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0282] In some embodiments, the network device sends the MBS multicast service within the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0283] The network device sends MBS service data during the activation time of the cell DTX, instead of sending MBS service data according to the DRX of the terminal as when the cell DTX is not activated. This ensures the normal transmission of MBS service data while achieving energy saving of the network device.

[0284] In some embodiments, after disabling DRX, the terminal may monitor MBS service data in the entire time domain, so that the terminal will monitor the MBS service data sent by the first cell during the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0285] In some embodiments, when the terminal obtains the first configuration, it can monitor MBS service data within the activation time of the cell DTX according to the first configuration.

[0286] In some embodiments, the RRC connected terminal monitors the MBS broadcast service during the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0287] In some embodiments, the RRC connected terminal monitors the MBS multicast service within the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0288] In some embodiments, the RRC idle state terminal monitors the MBS broadcast service within the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0289] In some embodiments, the RRC idle state terminal monitors the MBS multicast service within the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0290] In some embodiments, the RRC inactive terminal monitors the MBS broadcast service during the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0291] In some embodiments, the RRC inactive terminal monitors the MBS multicast service during the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0292] In some embodiments, the terminal monitors MBS service data within the activation time of the cell DTX of the first cell.

[0293] Exemplarily, the first cell may be the terminal's camping cell and / or a neighboring cell of the camping cell. The camping cell may be the terminal's primary cell and / or secondary cell. Exemplarily, the neighboring cell of the camping cell may be a candidate cell of the terminal's camping cell, etc.

[0294] S2104: The terminal enables DRX.

[0295] In some embodiments, when DRX is configured but not enabled, the terminal enables DRX when the cell DTX is deactivated.

[0296] In some embodiments, when DRX is configured but not enabled, the terminal enables DRX after the terminal completes receiving MBS service data that the terminal is interested in.

[0297] In some embodiments, when the terminal is configured with DRX but DRX is not enabled, the terminal may also maintain the DRX disabled state after completing the reception of MBS service data that the terminal is interested in, so as to achieve further energy saving of the terminal.

[0298] Exemplarily, when cell DTX is deactivated, the terminal enables broadcast DRX, and subsequently the terminal monitors the MBS broadcast service according to the broadcast DRX.

[0299] As another example, when DTX in a cell is deactivated, the terminal enables multicast DRX, and subsequently the terminal monitors the MBS multicast service according to the multicast DRX.

[0300] FIG2B is an interactive diagram illustrating a method for processing MBS service data according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2B , the method for processing MBS service data provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure may be used in a communication system 100. The method includes:

[0301] S2201: The network device sends a first configuration.

[0302] In some embodiments, the network device may be an access network device.

[0303] In some embodiments, the network device may be an access network device of the first cell.

[0304] In some embodiments, the first configuration is a cell DTX configuration of the first cell.

[0305] In some embodiments, the first configuration may include at least one of one or more of: a DTX period, a duration of the active time, and a duration of the inactive time.

[0306] In some embodiments, the network device sends a system information or RRC message carrying the first configuration.

[0307] In some embodiments, the network device sends a system information block (SIB) 20 carrying a first configuration.

[0308] In some embodiments, the network device broadcasts system information, for example, the network device sends SIB20.

[0309] In some implementations, the SIB20 is used to schedule MCCH.

[0310] In some embodiments, the MCCH is used to transmit MCCH signaling.

[0311] In some embodiments, MCCH signaling is used to configure MBS service data. Optionally, when configuring MBS service data, MCCH signaling configures the transmission time of the MBS service data within the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0312] In some embodiments, the MBS service data includes an MBS broadcast service and / or an MBS multicast service.

[0313] In some embodiments, downlink control information (DCI) schedules MBS service data configured by MCCH signaling.

[0314] In some embodiments, DCI is also used to schedule MCCH signaling and / or system information.

[0315] S2202: The network device sends a first instruction.

[0316] In some embodiments, the first indication is used to indicate activation or deactivation of cell DTX.

[0317] In some embodiments, the network device sends system information carrying the first indication. Exemplarily, the network device sends SIB20 carrying the first indication.

[0318] In some embodiments, the network device sends MCCH signaling carrying the first indication. Exemplarily, the MCCH signaling carrying the first indication may be MCCH signaling for configuring MBS service data, or may be MCCH signaling not for configuring MBS service data.

[0319] In some embodiments, the network device sends a DCI carrying the first indication. The DCI carrying the first indication may be a DCI for scheduling MBS service data, or may be a DCI not for scheduling MBS service data.

[0320] In some embodiments, if the system information sent by the network device includes the first indication, the MCCH signaling may not carry the first indication.

[0321] In some embodiments, if the system information sent by the network device does not include the first indication, the MCCH signaling may carry the first indication.

[0322] In some embodiments, both the system information and the MCCH signaling may carry the first indication, and the indication contents of the first indication carried by the system information and the first indication carried by the second MCCH signaling may be the same or different.

[0323] In some embodiments, the first indication may be sent by the network device through broadcast, multicast, or unicast.

[0324] Exemplarily, if the terminal is in an RRC idle state or an RRC inactive state, the network device may broadcast the first configuration and / or the first indication.

[0325] In some embodiments, when the system information and / or MCCH signaling carries the first indication, the DCI may or may not carry the first indication.

[0326] In some embodiments, when the system information and MCCH signaling do not carry the first indication, the DCI may carry the first indication.

[0327] In some cases, when the network device activates cell DTX when MBS service data is pending, the system information or MCCH signaling carries a first configuration for cell DTX. In this case, upon receiving the first configuration, the terminal may deem cell DTX activated, and the network device does not need to send a first indication. In other words, the terminal does not need to receive the first indication from the network device. In other words, step S2202 is optional, and the network device may have other methods to notify the terminal that it has entered or exited cell DTX.

[0328] S2203: The terminal performs DRX according to the first configuration.

[0329] In some embodiments, when the terminal is configured with DRX, DRX is performed according to the first configuration.

[0330] In some embodiments, when the terminal has a configuration and has enabled DRX according to the second configuration, the terminal changes to perform DRX according to the first configuration. The second configuration may be configuration information pre-configured by the network device for the terminal to perform DRX.

[0331] In some embodiments, when the terminal is not configured with DRX, DRX does not need to be performed according to the first configuration.

[0332] In some embodiments, when the terminal is configured but DRX is not enabled, DRX does not need to be performed according to the first configuration.

[0333] In some embodiments, the terminal performing DRX according to the first configuration may include at least one of the following:

[0334] The terminal enters the activated state at the activation time of the first configuration indication cell DTX to perform downlink reception;

[0335] The terminal exits the active state during the inactive time of the first configuration indicating the DTX of the cell, so as to save the power consumption of the terminal.

[0336] In some embodiments, the terminal may have a second configuration that originally performs DRX. The second configuration may be a configuration parameter sent by a network device.

[0337] In some embodiments, the terminal ignores the second configuration and performs DRX according to the first configuration.

[0338] Here, the DRX of the terminal may include at least one of the following:

[0339] Broadcast DRX for MBS broadcast services;

[0340] Multicast DRX for MBS multicast services.

[0341] In some embodiments, the terminal performs DRX according to a second configuration. Exemplarily, the second configuration may include but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0342] DRX cycle;

[0343] The duration of the DRX onduration timer;

[0344] The duration of the DRX inactivity timer, etc.

[0345] The persistence timer starts at the beginning of each DRX cycle and the terminal remains active during the duration of the persistence timer.

[0346] The inactivity timer is started when receiving a start instruction from a network device or a scheduling instruction for data transmission. Similarly, the terminal remains active during the running time of the inactivity timer.

[0347] The terminal is able to receive downlink transmissions in the activated state.

[0348] S2204: The network device sends MBS service data within the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0349] In some embodiments, the network device sends the MBS broadcast service during the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0350] In some embodiments, the network device sends the MBS multicast service within the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0351] Correspondingly, the terminal receives MBS service data within the cell DTX activation time.

[0352] Exemplarily, the terminal receives MBS service data within the activation time of the cell DTX of the first cell.

[0353] In some embodiments, the first cell may be a serving cell or a non-serving cell of the terminal.

[0354] In some embodiments, during the process of performing DRX according to the first configuration of the cell DTX, the terminal receives MBS service data sent by the first cell within the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0355] In some embodiments, the network device sends the MBS broadcast service during the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0356] In some embodiments, the network device sends the MBS multicast service within the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0357] Using the method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, network devices can achieve network energy conservation by activating cell DTX. Terminals can achieve terminal energy conservation by enabling DRX. MBS service data is also transmitted within the cell DTX activation period, ensuring smooth reception of MBS services by the terminal.

[0358] S2205: The terminal monitors MBS service data.

[0359] Since the DRX of the terminal is executed according to the second configuration, the activation time of the cell DTX is also the activation time of the DRX executed by the terminal. The terminal monitoring MBS service data at the activation time of its own DRX is equivalent to monitoring MBS service data at the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0360] S2206: The terminal performs DRX according to the second configuration.

[0361] In some embodiments, the terminal may be in an RRC connected state, an RRC idle state, or an RRC inactive state.

[0362] In some embodiments, when the terminal is configured with DRX, if DTX is deactivated in the cell, the terminal performs DRX according to the second configuration when DTX is deactivated in the cell.

[0363] In some embodiments, when the terminal is configured with DRX, the terminal performs DRX according to the second configuration after the terminal completes receiving MBS service data that the terminal is interested in.

[0364] In some embodiments, the terminal continues to disable DRX after completing receiving the MBS service data that the terminal is interested in, so as to achieve further energy saving of the terminal.

[0365] FIG2C is an interactive diagram illustrating a method for processing MBS service data according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2C , the method for processing MBS service data provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure may be used in the communication system 100. The method includes:

[0377] DRX cycle;

[0378] The duration of the DRX onduration timer;

[0379] The duration of the DRX inactivity timer, etc.

[0380] The persistence timer starts at the beginning of each DRX cycle and the terminal remains active during the duration of the persistence timer.

[0383] In some embodiments, the network device generates the second configuration based on the first configuration of the first cell.

[0384] In some embodiments, the network device generates the first configuration based on the second configuration.

[0385] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the activation time of the cell DTX corresponding to the first configuration and the running time of the terminal DRX duration timer corresponding to the second configuration at least partially overlap.

[0386] Exemplarily, the running time of the DRX duration timer of the terminal at least partially overlaps with the activation time of the cell DTX, and may include at least one of the following:

[0387] The running time of the terminal's DRX duration timer is completely included in the activation time of the cell DTX;

[0389] The activation time of the cell DTX is completely within the running time of the terminal's DRX duration timer;

[0390] The activation time portion of the cell DTX is within the running time of the DRX duration timer of the terminal.

[0391] In some embodiments, the network device sends a system information or RRC message carrying the first configuration and the second configuration.

[0392] In some embodiments, the network device sends a SIB20 carrying the first configuration and the second configuration. In some embodiments, the network device may send the first configuration and the second configuration via one downlink message, or may send the first configuration and the second configuration via different downlink messages.

[0393] In some embodiments, the network device broadcasts system information. Exemplarily, the network device sends SIB20.

[0394] In some implementations, the SIB20 is used to schedule MCCH.

[0395] In some embodiments, the MCCH is used to transmit MCCH signaling.

[0396] In some embodiments, MCCH signaling is used to configure MBS service data. Optionally, when configuring MBS service data, MCCH signaling configures the transmission time of the MBS service data within the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0397] In some embodiments, the MBS service data includes an MBS broadcast service and / or an MBS multicast service.

[0398] In some embodiments, downlink control information (DCI) schedules MBS service data configured by MCCH signaling.

[0399] In some embodiments, when the network device configures MBS service data, it does not refer to the first configuration of the cell DTX. Then, when the DCI schedules the MBS service data, the network device can schedule the transmission of the MBS service data within the activation time of the cell DTX according to the first configuration.

[0400] S2302: MBS service data The first cell sends MBS service data within the overlapping time between the activation time of the cell DTX and the running time of the terminal DRX duration timer.

[0401] In some embodiments, if the running time of the DRX duration timer of the terminal is completely included in the activation time of the cell DTX, the network device of the first cell sends the MBS service data within the running time of the DRX duration timer of the terminal.

[0402] In some embodiments, if the activation time of the cell DTX is completely within the running time of the DRX duration timer of the terminal, the network device of the first cell may send MBS service data within any activation time of the cell DTX.

[0403] In some embodiments, the first cell transmits the MBS broadcast service during the overlapping time between the activation time of the cell DTX and the activation time of the terminal's broadcast DRX.

[0405] In some embodiments, the terminal may be in an RRC connected state, an RRC idle state, or an RRC inactive state.

[0406] Correspondingly, during the overlapping time between the activation time of the cell DTX of the first cell and the running time of the DRX timer of the terminal, the terminal monitors the MBS service data.

[0407] Exemplarily, the first cell may be the terminal's camping cell and / or a neighboring cell of the camping cell. The camping cell may be the terminal's primary cell and / or secondary cell. Exemplarily, the neighboring cell of the camping cell may be a candidate cell of the terminal's camping cell, etc.

[0408] FIG2D is an interactive diagram illustrating a method for processing MBS service data according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2D , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for processing MBS service data, which is used in a communication system 100 and includes:

[0409] S2401: The network device sends a first configuration and a second configuration.

[0410] In some embodiments, the network device may be an access network device.

[0411] In some embodiments, the network device may be an access network device of the first cell.

[0412] In some embodiments, the first configuration is a cell DTX configuration of the first cell.

[0413] In some embodiments, the first configuration may include one or more of: a DTX period, a duration of the active time, and a duration of the inactive time.

[0414] In some embodiments, the second configuration is a configuration for the terminal to perform DRX.

[0415] Here, the DRX of the terminal may include at least one of the following:

[0416] Broadcast DRX for MBS broadcast services;

[0417] Multicast DRX for MBS multicast services.

[0418] For example, the second configuration may include but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0419] DRX cycle;

[0420] The duration of the DRX onduration timer;

[0421] The duration of the DRX inactivity timer, etc.

[0422] The persistence timer starts at the beginning of each DRX cycle and the terminal remains active during the duration of the persistence timer.

[0423] The inactivity timer is started when receiving a start instruction from a network device or a scheduling instruction for data transmission. Similarly, the terminal remains active during the running time of the inactivity timer.

[0424] The terminal is able to receive downlink transmissions in the activated state.

[0425] In some embodiments, the network device generates the second configuration based on the first configuration of the first cell.

[0426] In some embodiments, the network device generates the first configuration based on the second configuration.

[0427] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the activation time of the cell DTX corresponding to the first configuration and the activation time of the terminal DRX corresponding to the second configuration at least partially overlap.

[0428] Exemplarily, the running time of the DRX duration timer of the terminal at least partially overlaps with the activation time of the cell DTX, and may include at least one of the following:

[0429] The running time of the terminal's DRX duration timer is completely included in the activation time of the cell DTX;

[0430] The running time portion of the DRX duration timer of the terminal is within the activation time of the cell DTX;

[0431] The activation time of the cell DTX is completely within the running time of the terminal's DRX duration timer;

[0432] The activation time portion of the cell DTX is within the running time of the DRX duration timer of the terminal.

[0433] In some embodiments, the network device sends a system information or RRC message carrying the first configuration and the second configuration.

[0434] In some embodiments, the network device sends a SIB20 carrying the first configuration and the second configuration.

[0435] In some embodiments, the network device may send the first configuration and the second configuration via one downlink message, or may send the first configuration and the second configuration via different downlink messages.

[0436] In some embodiments, the network device sends SIB20.

[0437] In some embodiments, network devices broadcast system information.

[0438] In some implementations, the SIB20 is used to schedule MCCH.

[0439] In some embodiments, the MCCH is used to transmit MCCH signaling.

[0440] In some embodiments, MCCH signaling is used to configure MBS service data. Optionally, when configuring MBS service data, MCCH signaling configures the transmission time of the MBS service data within the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0441] In some embodiments, the MBS service data includes an MBS broadcast service and / or an MBS multicast service.

[0442] In some embodiments, downlink control information (DCI) schedules MBS service data configured by MCCH signaling.

[0443] In some embodiments, DCI may also be used to schedule MCCH signaling and / or system information.

[0444] In some embodiments, when the network device configures MBS service data, it does not refer to the first configuration of the cell DTX. Then, when the DCI schedules the MBS service data, the network device can schedule the transmission of the MBS service data within the activation time of the cell DTX according to the first configuration.

[0445] S2402: The network device sends MBS service data within the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0446] In some embodiments, the first cell sends the MBS service data during the overlapping time between the activation time of the cell DTX and the running time of the DRX duration timer of the terminal.

[0447] In some embodiments, even if the running time of the terminal's DRX duration timer is completely included in the activation time of the cell DTX, the duration of the activation time of the cell DTX in a cycle may be longer than the duration of the activation time of the terminal's DRX in a cycle. In this case, when the network device sends MBS service data within the activation time of the cell DTX of the first cell, the transmission time of the MBS service data may also fall outside the running time of the terminal's DRX duration timer.

[0448] In other embodiments, the running time of the terminal's DRX duration timer is not completely included in the cell DTX activation time. There is also the possibility that the cell DTX activation time falls outside the running time of the terminal's DRX duration timer. Therefore, when the network device sends MBS service data during the cell DTX activation time, there may be a scenario where the MBS service data is sent at a time outside the running time of the terminal's DRX duration timer.

[0449] Correspondingly, the terminal monitors the MBS service data within the activation time of the cell DTX of the first cell.

[0450] Exemplarily, the first cell may be the terminal's camping cell and / or a neighboring cell of the camping cell. The camping cell may be the terminal's primary cell and / or secondary cell. Exemplarily, the neighboring cell of the camping cell may be a candidate cell of the terminal's camping cell, etc.

[0451] S2403: The network device sends an instruction.

[0452] In some embodiments, the network device sends an instruction to the terminal to start an inactivity timer.

[0453] In some embodiments, the network device sends a DCI to the terminal to start an inactivity timer.

[0454] S2404: The terminal determines whether to start the inactivity timer.

[0455] In some embodiments, after receiving the instruction, the terminal determines whether to start an inactivity timer.

[0456] In some embodiments, when the terminal receives the instruction, it determines whether to start the inactivity timer according to whether the start time of the DRX inactivity timer of the terminal overlaps with the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0457] In some embodiments, when the terminal receives the instruction, it may determine the first symbol after receiving the instruction as the start time of the inactivity timer.

[0458] In some embodiments, if the start time of the inactivation timer is within the activation time of the terminal cell DTX (ie, the start time of the inactivation timer overlaps with the activation time of the cell DTX), the inactivation timer is started.

[0459] In some embodiments, if the start time of the inactivation timer is outside the activation time of the terminal cell DTX (ie, the start time of the inactivation timer does not overlap with the activation time of the cell DTX), the inactivation timer is not started.

[0460] In some embodiments, if the terminal starts the inactivity timer, the terminal may receive MBS service data within the running time of the inactivity timer.

[0461] S2405: The terminal stops or turns off the inactivity timer.

[0462] In some embodiments, when the inactivity timer times out, the terminal stops or turns off the inactivity timer.

[0463] In some embodiments, the activation time of the cell DTX ends and the terminal stops or turns off the inactivation timer.

[0464] In some embodiments, the inactivity timer has not timed out when the activation time of the cell DTX ends, and the terminal stops or turns off the inactivity timer when the activation time of the cell DTX ends.

[0465] In some embodiments, when the terminal completes receiving the MBS service data of interest, the activation time of the cell DTX has not yet ended. After completing receiving the MBS service data of interest, the terminal may stop or turn off the inactivity timer.

[0466] FIG2E is an interactive diagram illustrating a method for processing MBS service data according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2E , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for processing MBS service data. The method includes:

[0467] S2501: Ignore the configuration and / or activation of the cell DTX and send MBS service data.

[0468] In some embodiments, the network device ignores the configuration and / or activation of the cell DTX and sends the MBS service data whenever it wants to send the MBS service data.

[0469] In some embodiments, the network device may configure and / or schedule the MBS service data before sending it. Therefore, in some embodiments, the network device may ignore the configuration and / or activation of the cell DTX and send the MBS service data according to the configuration instructions of the MBS service data, and / or the network device may ignore the configuration and / or activation of the cell DTX and send the MBS service data according to the scheduling instructions of the MBS service data.

[0470] Exemplarily, the configuration instruction may be any of the aforementioned MCCH instructions.

[0471] As another example, the scheduling instruction may be the aforementioned DCI.

[0472] In this embodiment, when the cell DTX of the first cell is activated, the network device may send MBS service data during the activation time and / or the inactivation time of the cell DTX.

[0473] Correspondingly, the terminal receives MBS service data at any time according to the MBS service data configuration instruction and / or scheduling instruction.

[0474] FIG2F is an interactive diagram illustrating a method for processing MBS service data according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2F , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for processing MBS service data. The method includes:

[0475] S2601: When the terminal activates cell DTX in the first cell, it needs to monitor MBS service data and perform cell reselection.

[0476] In some embodiments, when the first cell activates cell DTX, the terminal is monitoring MBS service data or has MBS service data to be monitored and performs cell reselection.

[0477] In some embodiments, the MBS service data to be monitored may be MBS service data that the terminal is interested in.

[0478] In some embodiments, the terminal updates the priority level associated with the first cell and reselection stored in the terminal.

[0479] In some embodiments, the terminal updates the reselection priority of the first cell stored in itself.

[0480] In some embodiments, the terminal updates the frequency layer priority of the first cell stored in itself.

[0481] Specifically, when the first cell activates discontinuous cell transmission (DTX), the frequency layer of the first cell is updated from the first priority to the second priority for the MBS service data that is being monitored or to be monitored.

[0482] The second priority is lower than the first priority.

[0483] Finally, the terminal performs cell reselection according to the second priority of the first cell.

[0484] Exemplarily, the priority of the first cell is set to the lowest priority, so that when the terminal performs cell reselection, it will not reselect the first cell again, but will reselect a second cell different from the first cell.

[0485] Through cell reselection, the terminal can reside in a cell that can normally send MBS service data. For example, the second cell to which the terminal reselects can be a cell that is not currently performing cell DTX. Exemplarily, the terminal will reselect to a cell that is not configured or activated for cell DTX.

[0486] In this way, it can be ensured that the terminal can receive MBS service data normally.

[0487] FIG2G is an interactive diagram illustrating a method for processing MBS service data according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2G , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for processing MBS service data, the method comprising:

[0488] S2701: When sending MBS service data or waiting to send MBS service data, the network device does not activate cell DTX.

[0489] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, since the cell DTX is not activated when the network device is sending MBS service data or has MBS service data to be sent, the sending of MBS service data is not affected by the cell DTX.

[0490] FIG2H is an interactive diagram illustrating a method for processing MBS service data according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2H , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for processing MBS service data. The method includes:

[0491] S2801: When MBS service data is to be sent, deactivate discontinuous transmission (DTX) of the cell.

[0492] In some embodiments, the network device deactivates the cell DTX when the cell DTX is activated when there is MBS service data to be sent.

[0493] If the network device has already activated the cell DTX for MBS service data to be sent, the cell DTX is first deactivated to ensure normal transmission of the MBS service data.

[0494] After deactivating cell DTX, if the terminal is configured with DRX, MBS service data is sent during the terminal's activation time according to the terminal's DRX. The terminal's activation time may include any time the terminal is in an activated state, for example, the terminal's activation time may include: the running time of a continuous timer and / or the running time of a non-continuous timer.

[0495] After deactivating cell DTX, if the terminal is not configured with DRX, the network device can send MBS service data at any time according to network resource configuration and the like.

[0496] As shown in FIG3A , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for processing broadcast multicast MBS service data, which is executed by a terminal and includes:

[0497] S3101: Receive a first instruction.

[0498] In some embodiments, the terminal receives a first indication sent by the network device.

[0499] The terminal here may be in an RRC connected state, an RRC idle state or an RRC inactive state.

[0500] In some embodiments, the first indication is used to indicate activation or deactivation of cell DTX.

[0501] In some embodiments, system information carrying the first indication sent by a receiving network device may be any SIB, for example, SIB20.

[0502] In some implementations, the SIB20 is used to schedule MCCH.

[0503] In some embodiments, the MCCH is used to transmit MCCH signaling.

[0504] In some embodiments, MCCH signaling is used to configure MBS service data. Optionally, when configuring MBS service data, MCCH signaling configures the transmission time of the MBS service data within the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0505] In some embodiments, the MBS service data includes an MBS broadcast service and / or an MBS multicast service.

[0506] In some embodiments, downlink control information (DCI) schedules MBS service data configured by MCCH signaling.

[0507] In some embodiments, DCI is also used to schedule MCCH signaling and / or system information.

[0508] In some embodiments, when the network device configures MBS service data, it does not refer to the first configuration of the cell DTX. Then, when the DCI schedules the MBS service data, the network device can schedule the transmission of the MBS service data within the activation time of the cell DTX according to the first configuration.

[0509] In some embodiments, the network device sends MCCH signaling carrying the first indication. Exemplarily, the MCCH signaling carrying the first indication may be MCCH signaling for configuring MBS service data, or may be MCCH signaling not for configuring MBS service data.

[0510] In some embodiments, the terminal receives a DCI carrying a first indication sent by a network device. The DCI carrying the first indication may be used to schedule MBS service data, or may not be used to schedule MBS service data.

[0511] In some embodiments, if the system information sent by the network device includes the first indication, the MCCH signaling may not carry the first indication.

[0512] In some embodiments, if the system information sent by the network device does not include the first indication, the MCCH signaling may carry the first indication.

[0513] In some embodiments, both the system information and the MCCH signaling may carry the first indication, and the indication contents of the first indication carried by the system information and the first indication carried by the second MCCH signaling may be the same or different.

[0514] In some embodiments, the first indication may be broadcast, multicast, or unicast by the network device.If the terminal is in an RRC idle state or an RRC inactive state, the network device may broadcast the first configuration and / or the first indication.

[0515] In some embodiments, when the system information and / or MCCH signaling carries the first indication, the DCI may carry the first indication or may not carry the first indication.

[0516] In some embodiments, when the system information and MCCH signaling do not carry the first indication, the DCI may carry the first indication.

[0517] In some cases, when the network device has MBS service data to be sent, the cell DTX is activated, and the system information or MCCH signaling carries the first configuration of the cell DTX. In this case, when the terminal receives the first configuration, it can be considered that the cell DTX is activated, and the network device does not need to send the first indication, that is, the terminal does not need to receive the first indication from the network device.

[0518] It is worth noting that: S3101 is an optional step, and the network device may have other ways to notify the terminal that it has entered or exited cell DTX. Alternatively, the terminal may have other ways to determine whether the first cell has entered cell DTX.

[0519] S3102: Disable DRX.

[0520] When the first cell activates cell DTX and the DRX of the terminal is disabled, the terminal can monitor MBS service data in the entire time domain.

[0521] In some embodiments, the terminal may be in an RRC connected state, an RRC idle state, or an RRC inactive state.

[0522] In some embodiments, when the first indicator cell DTX is activated, DRX of the terminal is disabled.

[0523] In some embodiments, when the terminal determines that the first cell has MBS service data transmission when the cell DTX is activated, the terminal disables DRX of the terminal.

[0524] Exemplarily, when the terminal receives a DCI that does not carry the first indication and is used to schedule MBS service data, the terminal disables DRX.

[0525] As another example, when the network device performs MBS service data transmission according to the configuration of MCCH signaling without special DCI scheduling, the terminal can disable DRX of the terminal when the MBS service data starts transmission according to the configuration of the MBS service data by MCCH signaling.

[0526] In some embodiments, the terminal disables DRX upon receiving MCCH signaling carrying a first configuration and configuring MBS service data. For example, when the first cell activates cell DTX and uses MCCH signaling to configure MBS service data, the terminal may assume that the network device will begin transmitting MBS service data. Therefore, the terminal may disable DRX to enable MBS service data transmission. In some embodiments, when the first cell DTX configuration indicates that cell DTX is activated, the terminal disables DRX.

[0527] In some embodiments, when the terminal determines that the first cell has activated cell DTX and there is MBS service data transmission and the terminal has MBS service data that needs to be received or is interested in receiving, the terminal disables DRX. Here, DRX of the terminal may include at least one of the following:

[0528] Broadcast DRX for MBS broadcast services;

[0529] Multicast DRX for MBS multicast services.

[0530] In some embodiments, the terminal performs DRX according to a second configuration. Exemplarily, the second configuration may include but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0531] DRX cycle;

[0532] Duration information of the DRX onduration timer;

[0533] The duration of the DRX inactivity timer, etc.

[0534] The persistence timer starts at the beginning of each DRX cycle and the terminal remains active during the duration of the persistence timer.

[0535] The inactivity timer is started when receiving a start instruction from a network device or a scheduling instruction for data transmission. Similarly, the terminal remains active during the running time of the inactivity timer.

[0536] The terminal is able to receive downlink transmissions in the activated state.

[0537] S3103: The network device sends MBS service data within the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0538] In some embodiments, the network device sends the MBS broadcast service during the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0539] In some embodiments, the network device sends the MBS multicast service within the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0540] Correspondingly, the terminal monitors the MBS service data within the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0541] In some embodiments, the RRC connected terminal monitors the MBS broadcast service during the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0542] In some embodiments, the RRC connected terminal monitors the MBS multicast service within the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0543] In some embodiments, the RRC idle state terminal monitors the MBS broadcast service within the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0544] In some embodiments, the RRC idle state terminal monitors the MBS multicast service within the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0545] In some embodiments, the RRC inactive terminal monitors the MBS broadcast service during the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0546] In some embodiments, the RRC inactive terminal monitors the MBS multicast service during the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0547] In some embodiments, the terminal monitors MBS service data within the activation time of the cell DTX of the first cell.

[0548] Exemplarily, the first cell may be the terminal's camping cell and / or a neighboring cell of the camping cell. The camping cell may be the terminal's primary cell and / or secondary cell. Exemplarily, the neighboring cell of the camping cell may be a candidate cell of the terminal's camping cell, etc.

[0549] S3104: The terminal enables DRX.

[0550] In some embodiments, when DTX is deactivated in a cell, the terminal enables DRX.

[0551] In some embodiments, DRX is enabled after the terminal completes receiving MBS service data that the terminal is interested in.

[0552] In some embodiments, after the terminal completes receiving the MBS service data that it is interested in, it may also keep the DRX disabled to achieve further energy saving of the terminal.

[0553] Exemplarily, when cell DTX is deactivated, the terminal enables broadcast DRX, and subsequently the terminal monitors the MBS broadcast service according to the broadcast DRX.

[0554] As another example, when DTX in a cell is deactivated, the terminal enables multicast DRX, and subsequently the terminal monitors the MBS multicast service according to the multicast DRX.

[0555] It is worth noting that: some embodiments include S3103, and the remaining steps are optional steps. For example, the terminal can determine the time when the energy-saving cell enters the cell DTX according to the protocol agreement. In this state, the terminal does not need to receive the first indication, and will also know the time information of the cell entering and exiting the cell DTX. Therefore, step S3101 can be omitted. In some embodiments, the terminal may not enable (enabling can also be understood as activating) DRX, so there is no need to enable DRX or enable DRX, it may not enable DRX, or it may enable DRX, which depends on the implementation and business requirements of the terminal.

[0556] It is worth noting that some embodiments include S3102 and S3103, and the remaining steps are optional. For example, the terminal can determine the time when the energy-saving cell enters cell DTX according to the protocol. In this state, the terminal does not need to receive the first indication and still knows the time when the cell enters and exits cell DTX. Therefore, step S3101 can be omitted, and the terminal does not need to re-enable DRX after disabling DRX.

[0557] As shown in FIG3B , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for processing broadcast multicast MBS service data, which is executed by a terminal and includes:

[0558] S3201: Receive a first configuration and a first indication.

[0559] In some embodiments, the terminal receives a first configuration and a first indication.

[0560] The terminal here may be in an RRC connected state, an RRC idle state or an RRC inactive state.

[0561] In some embodiments, the first configuration is a cell DTX configuration of the first cell.

[0562] In some embodiments, the first configuration may include one or more of: a DTX period, a duration of the active time, and a duration of the inactive time.

[0563] In some embodiments, the terminal receives system information or an RRC message carrying the first configuration sent by the network device.

[0564] In some embodiments, the terminal receives a SIB20 carrying the first configuration sent by the network device.

[0565] In some implementations, the SIB20 is used to schedule MCCH.

[0566] In some embodiments, the MCCH is used to transmit MCCH signaling.

[0567] In some embodiments, MCCH signaling is used to configure MBS service data. Optionally, when configuring MBS service data, MCCH signaling configures the transmission time of the MBS service data within the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0568] In some embodiments, the MBS service data includes an MBS broadcast service and / or an MBS multicast service.

[0569] In some embodiments, downlink control information (DCI) schedules MBS service data configured by MCCH signaling.

[0570] In some embodiments, when the network device configures MBS service data, it does not refer to the first configuration of the cell DTX. Then, when the DCI schedules the MBS service data, the network device can schedule the transmission of the MBS service data within the activation time of the cell DTX according to the first configuration.

[0571] In some embodiments, the first indication is used to indicate activation or deactivation of cell DTX.

[0572] In some embodiments, the terminal receives system information carrying the first indication sent by the network device. Exemplarily, the network device sends SIB20 carrying the first indication.

[0573] In some embodiments, the terminal receives MCCH signaling carrying the first indication sent by the network device. Exemplarily, the MCCH signaling carrying the first indication may be MCCH signaling for configuring MBS service data, or may be MCCH signaling not for configuring MBS service data.

[0574] In some embodiments, the terminal receives a DCI carrying a first indication sent by a network device. The DCI carrying the first indication may be DCI for scheduling MBS service data or may be DCI not for scheduling MBS service data.

[0575] In some embodiments, if the system information sent by the network device includes the first indication, the MCCH signaling may not carry the first indication.

[0576] In some embodiments, if the system information sent by the network device does not include the first indication, the MCCH signaling may carry the first indication.

[0577] In some embodiments, both the system information and the MCCH signaling may carry the first indication, and the indication contents of the first indication carried by the system information and the first indication carried by the second MCCH signaling may be the same or different.

[0578] In some embodiments, the first indication may be broadcast, multicast, or unicast by the network device.If the terminal is in an RRC idle state or an RRC inactive state, the terminal may receive the first configuration and / or the first indication broadcast by the network device.

[0579] In some embodiments, when the system information and / or MCCH signaling carries the first indication, the DCI may carry the first indication or may not carry the first indication.

[0580] In some embodiments, when the system information and MCCH signaling do not carry the first indication, the DCI may carry the first indication.

[0581] In some cases, when the network device has MBS service data to be sent, the cell DTX is activated, and the system information or MCCH signaling carries the first configuration of the cell DTX. In this case, when the terminal receives the first configuration, it can be considered that the cell DTX is activated, and the network device does not need to send the first indication, that is, the terminal does not need to receive the first indication from the network device.

[0582] It is worth noting that: S3202 is an optional step, and the network device has other ways to notify the terminal itself to enter or exit the cell DTX.

[0583] S3202: The terminal performs DRX according to the first configuration.

[0584] In some embodiments, the terminal performing DRX according to the first configuration may include at least one of the following:

[0585] The terminal enters the activated state at the activation time of the first configuration indication cell DTX to perform downlink reception;

[0586] The terminal exits the active state during the inactive time of the first configuration indicating the DTX of the cell, so as to save the power consumption of the terminal.

[0587] In some embodiments, before the terminal performs DRX according to the first configuration, the terminal is originally configured to perform a second configuration of DRX.

[0588] The second configuration may include but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0589] DRX cycle;

[0590] Duration information of the DRX onduration timer;

[0600] In some embodiments, after the terminal completes receiving MBS service data that the terminal is interested in, DRX is performed according to the second configuration.

[0601] In some embodiments, the terminal maintains the DRX disabled state after completing receiving the MBS service data that the terminal is interested in.

[0602] It is worth noting that some embodiments include S3202, and the remaining steps are optional. For example, the terminal may determine, according to a protocol agreement, that the energy-saving cell enters the first configuration of cell DTX. In this state, the terminal does not need to receive the first indication and the first configuration, and will still know the time information of the cell entering and exiting cell DTX. Therefore, step S3101 can be omitted. In some embodiments, after disabling DRX, the terminal may not enable DRX again, or may enable DRX, depending on the terminal implementation and service requirements.

[0603] It is worth noting that some embodiments include S3202 and S3203, and the remaining steps are optional. For example, the terminal can determine the time when the energy-saving cell enters cell DTX according to the protocol. In this state, the terminal can know the time when the cell enters and exits cell DTX without receiving the first indication. Therefore, step S3201 can be omitted.

[0749] In some embodiments, the first indication may be broadcast, multicast, or unicast by the network device.If the terminal is in an RRC idle state or an RRC inactive state, the network device may broadcast the first configuration and / or the first indication.

[0750] In some embodiments, when the system information and / or MCCH signaling carries the first indication and / or the first configuration, the DCI may or may not carry the first indication.

[0751] In some embodiments, when the system information and MCCH signaling do not carry the first indication and / or the first configuration, the DCI may carry the first indication.

[0752] In some cases, when the network device has MBS service data to be sent, the cell DTX is activated, and the system information or MCCH signaling carries the first configuration of the cell DTX. In this case, when the terminal receives the first configuration, it can be considered that the cell DTX is activated, and the network device does not need to send the first indication, that is, the terminal does not need to receive the first indication from the network device.

[0753] It is worth noting that: S4101 is an optional step, and the network device has other ways to notify the terminal itself to enter or exit the cell DTX.

[0754] S4102: Send MBS service data within the cell DRX activation time.

[0755] As shown in FIG4B , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for processing MBS service data, which is executed by a network device. The method may include:

[0756] S4201: The network device sends a first configuration and a second configuration.

[0757] In some embodiments, the network device may be an access network device.

[0758] In some embodiments, the network device may be an access network device of the first cell.

[0759] In some embodiments, the first configuration is a cell DTX configuration of the first cell.

[0760] In some embodiments, the first configuration may include one or more of: a DTX period, a duration of the active time, and a duration of the inactive time.

[0761] In some embodiments, the second configuration is a configuration for the terminal to perform DRX.

[0762] Here, the DRX of the terminal may include at least one of the following:

[0763] Broadcast DRX for MBS broadcast services;

[0764] Multicast DRX for MBS multicast services.

[0765] In some embodiments, the terminal performs DRX according to a second configuration. Exemplarily, the second configuration may include but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0766] DRX cycle;

[0767] The duration of the DRX onduration timer;

[0768] The duration of the DRX inactivity timer, etc.

[0769] The persistence timer starts at the beginning of each DRX cycle and the terminal remains active during the duration of the persistence timer.

[0770] The inactivity timer is started when receiving a start instruction from a network device or a scheduling instruction for data transmission. Similarly, the terminal remains active during the running time of the inactivity timer.

[0771] The terminal is able to receive downlink transmissions in the activated state.

[0772] When a cell is in DTX mode, the network device sends MBS service data during the cell DTX activation period. If the terminal is DRX-enabled at this time, and the terminal's DRX inactivation period coincides with the cell DTX activation period, the terminal will miss the opportunity to monitor MBS service data, resulting in the terminal being unable to receive MBS service data. In the disclosed embodiments, the terminal disables DRX, thereby avoiding this problem.

[0773] In some embodiments, the network device generates the second configuration based on the first configuration of the first cell.

[0774] In some embodiments, the network device generates the first configuration based on the second configuration.

[0775] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the activation time of the cell DTX corresponding to the first configuration and the running time of the terminal DRX duration timer corresponding to the second configuration at least partially overlap.

[0776] Exemplarily, the running time of the DRX duration timer of the terminal at least partially overlaps with the activation time of the cell DTX, and may include at least one of the following:

[0777] The running time of the terminal's DRX duration timer is completely included in the activation time of the cell DTX;

[0778] The running time portion of the DRX duration timer of the terminal is within the activation time of the cell DTX;

[0779] The activation time of the cell DTX is completely within the running time of the terminal's DRX duration timer;

[0780] The activation time portion of the cell DTX is within the running time of the DRX duration timer of the terminal.

[0785] In some implementations, the SIB20 is used to schedule MCCH.

[0786] In some embodiments, the MCCH is used to transmit MCCH signaling.

[0787] In some embodiments, MCCH signaling is used to configure MBS service data. Optionally, when configuring MBS service data, MCCH signaling configures the transmission time of the MBS service data within the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0788] In some embodiments, the MBS service data includes an MBS broadcast service and / or an MBS multicast service.

[0789] In some embodiments, downlink control information (DCI) schedules MBS service data configured by MCCH signaling.

[0790] In some embodiments, when the network device configures MBS service data, it does not refer to the first configuration of the cell DTX. Then, when the DCI schedules the MBS service data, the network device can schedule the transmission of the MBS service data within the activation time of the cell DTX according to the first configuration.

[0791] S4202: The first cell sends MBS service data within the overlapping time between the activation time of the cell DTX and the running time of the terminal DRX duration timer.

[0793] As shown in FIG4C , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for processing MBS service data, which is executed by a network device. The method may include:

[0794] S4301: The network device sends a first configuration and a second configuration.

[0795] In some embodiments, the network device may be an access network device.

[0796] In some embodiments, the network device may be an access network device of the first cell.

[0806] The duration of the DRX inactivity timer, etc.

[0807] The persistence timer starts at the beginning of each DRX cycle and the terminal remains active during the duration of the persistence timer.

[0808] The inactivity timer is started when receiving a start instruction from a network device or a scheduling instruction for data transmission. Similarly, the terminal remains active during the running time of the inactivity timer.

[0809] The terminal is able to receive downlink transmissions in the activated state.

[0810] When a cell is in DTX mode, the network device sends MBS service data during the cell DTX activation period. If the terminal is DRX-enabled at this time, and the terminal's DRX inactivation period coincides with the cell DTX activation period, the terminal will miss the opportunity to monitor MBS service data, resulting in the terminal being unable to receive MBS service data. In the disclosed embodiments, the terminal disables DRX, thereby avoiding this problem.

[0811] In some embodiments, the network device generates the second configuration based on the first configuration of the first cell.

[0812] In some embodiments, the network device generates the first configuration based on the second configuration.

[0813] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the activation time of the cell DTX corresponding to the first configuration and the running time of the terminal DRX duration timer corresponding to the second configuration at least partially overlap.

[0814] Exemplarily, the running time of the DRX duration timer of the terminal at least partially overlaps with the activation time of the cell DTX, and may include at least one of the following:

[0815] The running time of the terminal's DRX duration timer is completely included in the activation time of the cell DTX;

[0816] The running time portion of the DRX duration timer of the terminal is within the activation time of the cell DTX;

[0817] The activation time of the cell DTX is completely within the running time of the terminal's DRX duration timer;

[0818] The activation time portion of the cell DTX is within the running time of the DRX duration timer of the terminal.

[0819] In some embodiments, the network device sends a system information or RRC message carrying the first configuration and the second configuration.

[0820] In some embodiments, the network device sends a SIB20 carrying the first configuration and the second configuration.

[0821] In some embodiments, the network device may send the first configuration and the second configuration via one downlink message, or may send the first configuration and the second configuration via different downlink messages.

[0822] In some embodiments, the network device sends SIB20.

[0823] In some embodiments, network devices broadcast system information.

[0824] In some implementations, the SIB20 is used to schedule MCCH.

[0825] In some embodiments, the MCCH is used to transmit MCCH signaling.

[0826] In some embodiments, MCCH signaling is used to configure MBS service data. Optionally, when configuring MBS service data, MCCH signaling configures the transmission time of the MBS service data within the activation time of the cell DTX.

[0827] In some embodiments, the MBS service data includes an MBS broadcast service and / or an MBS multicast service.

[0828] In some embodiments, downlink control information (DCI) schedules MBS service data configured by MCCH signaling.

[0829] In some embodiments, when the network device configures MBS service data, it does not refer to the first configuration of the cell DTX. Then, when the DCI schedules the MBS service data, the network device can schedule the transmission of the MBS service data within the activation time of the cell DTX according to the first configuration.

[0830] S4302: Send MBS service data within the cell DTX activation time.

[0831] S4303: Send instructions.

[0832] In one embodiment, the network device sends an instruction when determining, according to the first configuration and the second configuration, that at least part of the MBS service data is outside the running time of the duration timer of the terminal.

[0833] In some embodiments, the network device sends an instruction when it is determined according to the first configuration and the second configuration that the MBS service data that the terminal is interested in receiving is sent outside the running time of the duration timer of the terminal.

[0834] In some embodiments, the network device sends an instruction to the terminal to start an inactivity timer.

[0835] In some embodiments, the network device sends a DCI to the terminal to start an inactivity timer.

[0836] In some embodiments, the sending time of the instruction can also be specifically used by the terminal to determine the starting time of the inactivity timer.

[0837] Exemplarily, the terminal may start the inactivity timer according to the instruction when the start time of the inactivity timer overlaps with the activation time of the cell DTX, and otherwise do not start the inactivity timer.

[0838] It is worth noting that S4303 may be an optional step. For example, if the network device sends MBS service data during the running time of the terminal DRX duration timer, it may not be necessary to start the inactivity timer, so the network device may not send the instruction.

[0839] As shown in FIG4D , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for processing MBS service data, which is executed by a network device. The method may include:

[0840] S4401: When MBS service data is to be sent, deactivate discontinuous transmission (DTX) of the cell.

[0841] This approach can ensure priority transmission of MBS service data.

[0842] In some embodiments, when MBS service data is to be sent, a scheduling instruction for the MBS service data is sent.

[0843] The scheduling instruction of MBS service data is used for scheduling MBS service data and for notifying the terminal to deactivate DTX of the cell.

[0844] The scheduling instruction may be DCI, etc.

[0845] In some embodiments, the network device sends a second instruction.

[0846] In some embodiments, the second instruction is used to instruct deactivation of cell DTX.

[0847] In some embodiments, the second instruction is sent by the network device when MBS service data is to be sent.

[0848] In some embodiments, the second indication is carried in system information or multicast control channel MCCH signaling.

[0849] In some embodiments, system information is used to configure the MCCH.

[0850] In some embodiments, MCCH signaling is transmitted on the MCCH, and the MCCH signaling is used to configure MBS service data.

[0851] As shown in FIG4E , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for processing MBS service data, which is executed by a network device. The method may include:

[0852] S4501: When MBS service data is being sent or MBS service data is to be sent, the cell discontinuous transmission (DTX) is not activated.

[0853] In this way, the network device can prioritize the transmission of MBS service data by deactivating cell DTX.

[0854] The related art does not consider the issue of how to ensure continued reception of broadcast MBS service data and service continuity in a cell DTX activation scenario.

[0855] The transmission of MBS service data involves the following operations:

[0856] Sending of SIB20;

[0857] Sending of MCCH signaling;

[0858] MBS service data is sent on MTCH.

[0859] Both SIB20 and MCCH signaling are control signaling with relatively small data volumes. Therefore, if network equipment continues to send SIB20 and MCCH signaling normally during cell DTX, the energy savings of cell DTX will be minimal. However, MBS service data is large, and if it is still sent normally, it will significantly impact the energy savings of cell DTX.

[0860] In view of this, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for transmitting MBS service data after cell DTX activation, so as to achieve cell energy saving and / or terminal energy saving as much as possible while ensuring smooth transmission of MBS service data.

[0861] Method 1: Cell DTX and MBS service data are not used at the same time.

[0862] If a cell supports or is sending certain MBS service data, the cell does not activate cell DTX.

[0863] If MBS broadcast service data and / or MBS multicast service data is about to start being sent, or SIB20 and / or MCCH is being sent or is about to be sent, the network device does not activate cell DTX or temporarily suspends activation of cell DTX.

[0864] Optionally, an indication message is carried in SIB20, MCCH signaling, or DCI, and is used to indicate deactivation of DTX in the cell.

[0865] If the MBS service data ends, the MCCH signaling will be used to configure the MBS service data. In this case, the MCCH signaling or DCI can send an indication information, which can be used to indicate the activation of cell DTX. Alternatively, the MCCH signaling to configure the MBS service data or the DCI to schedule the MBS service does not carry the indication information, but implicitly indicates the activation of cell DTX.

[0866] Mode 2: MBS service data is sent normally in the cell where cell DTX is activated and is not affected by shadow cell DTX.

[0867] Regardless of whether cell DTX is configured or activated, the cell transmits SIB20, MCCH signaling, and MBS service data normally. The transmission of SIB20, MCCH signaling, and MBS service data is not restricted or affected by cell DTX. For example, the cell can still transmit SIB20, MCCH signaling, and / or MBS service data during the inactive period of cell DTX.

[0868] Mode 3: MCCH signaling reception is not affected by cell DTX, but reception of MBS service data requires the terminal to enable broadcast DRX, or the terminal can use the cell DTX pattern to monitor MBS service data.

[0869] Regardless of whether the cell is configured or activated for cell DTX, SIB20 and / or MCCH signaling is sent normally and is not restricted or affected by cell DTX.

[0870] Option 1: If DTX is configured and activated in the cell, the terminal that is interested in receiving or is currently receiving broadcast MBS service data disables DRX and stops all DRX timers. DRX here may include broadcast DRX and / or multicast DRX.

[0871] Option 2: Based on Option 1, the terminal optionally obtains the cell DTX configuration information (corresponding to the first configuration described above) and, based on the cell DTX pattern, monitors the scheduling and reception of broadcast MBS service data during the cell DTX activation period. The terminal obtains the cell DTX configuration information through SIB20 or MCCH signaling, or through other SIBs.

[0872] Optionally, SIB20 or MCCH signaling or DCI carries indication information, which is used to support cell DTX activation or deactivation.

[0873] Solution 4: If cell DTX is activated and the terminal is interested in receiving MBS service data or is receiving broadcast MBS service data, the terminal may consider the frequency layer of the current cell to have the lowest priority and reselect other frequency layers that support the MBS service data to continue receiving the MBS service data.

[0874] If the cell DTX is configured and activated and the terminal is interested in receiving MBS service data or is receiving broadcast MBS service data, the terminal performs cell reselection if it believes that the frequency priority of the current frequency layer is the lowest, so as to reselect to the frequency layer that supports the MBS service data and continue to receive the MBS service data.

[0875] Solution 5: The network side ensures that the cell DTX active period overlaps or partially overlaps with the broadcast DRX active period, and the terminal does not start or selectively starts the discontinuous reception inactivity timer (drx-InactivityTimer (Point to Multi, PTM)).

[0876] Option 1: If cell DTX is configured and activated, the terminal stops or does not start the drx-InactivityTimerPTM timer. Option 2: If cell DTX is configured and activated, and the terminal has MBS service data that it is interested in receiving or is currently receiving MBS service data, if the terminal receives DCI scrambled by the G-RNTI and the DCI schedules MBS service data transmission, the terminal starts the drx-InactivityTimerPTM timer within the terminal's cell DTX activation time; otherwise, the drx-InactivityTimerPTM timer is not started. Optionally, the terminal also stops the drx-InactivityTimerPTM timer when the cell DTX activation timer stops.

[0877] For the implementation method provided in Option 2, the terminal can be implemented as follows:

[0878] Step 1: If the terminal's Media Access Control (MAC) entity is in the DRX activation time corresponding to a G-RNTI, proceed to step 2;

[0879] Step 2: Monitor the PDCCH corresponding to the G-RNTI and proceed to step 3;

[0880] Step 3: If the monitored PDCCH indicates MBS service transmission, proceed to step 4;

[0881] Step 4: Start or restart the DRX inactivity timer in the first symbol after the PDCCH.

[0882] The following table analyzes the optional methods and effects of MBS service data transmission:

All units or modules of the above devices can be realized in the form of software called by the processor, or in the form of hardware circuits, or in part by the form of software called by the processor, and the rest by hardware circuits.
