The On duration appears periodically based on the DRX cycle.

[0106] In the existing mechanism, only one set of DRX configuration is supported for one serving cell or one frequency point. After receiving the DRX configuration signaling, the terminal can directly use the DRX configuration carried in the DRX configuration signaling.

[0107] However, for terminals supporting XR services, considering that the period may change within the duration of an XR service or different period XR services need to be supported, one serving cell or one frequency point may need to be configured with multiple sets of DRX configurations. In this case, how the terminal works is a problem to be solved at present. The XR service is a general term, which covers augmented reality, virtual reality, mixed reality and other technologies.

[0108] Therefore, the embodiment of the present application provides a configuration using method, device, equipment and storage medium, in the configuration using method, a first terminal obtains first DRX configuration information for a first interface, the first interface includes a Uu interface and / or a direct communication interface, the first DRX configuration information includes a set or multiple sets of DRX configuration corresponding DRX configuration parameters, and then, in the case that the first terminal carries first indication information in the first DRX configuration information, the first terminal can determine the activation state of each set of DRX configuration in the set or multiple sets of DRX configuration according to the first indication information, and the activation state includes activation or deactivation, or the first terminal can determine the activation state of each set of DRX configuration in the set or multiple sets of DRX configuration according to a first condition, and the activation state includes activation or deactivation, or the first terminal can determine the activation state of each set of DRX configuration in the set or multiple sets of DRX configuration as deactivation, thereby providing a working mode of the terminal in the case of configuring multiple sets of DRX configuration.

[0113] The technical solutions of the present application and how the technical solutions of the present application solve the above technical problems will be described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes can not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0114] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, a configuration use method is provided, which is described by taking the first terminal as an example, including the following steps:

[0115] Step 401, the first terminal acquires first DRX configuration information for the first interface.

[0116] The first interface includes a Uu interface and / or a direct communication interface. The first DRX configuration information contains one or more sets of DRX configuration parameters corresponding to the DRX configuration. In an optional embodiment of the present application, the first DRX configuration information can be sent through RRC (Radio Resource Control) signaling.

[0117] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the first DRX configuration information further comprises first indication information, which is used to indicate the activation state of each DRX configuration in the one or more sets of DRX configurations, wherein the activation state of a DRX configuration includes activation or deactivation.

[0118] In a possible implementation, the first DRX configuration information further comprises first indication information, which is used to indicate the activation state of a set of DRX configurations, and the first indication information corresponds to the DRX configuration one by one.

[0119] In some embodiments, the first indication information can be added in the DRX configuration parameter corresponding to the DRX configuration, and the first indication information can be a 1-bit identifier, which represents different activation states according to different values of the bit. For example, if the bit value of the first indication information corresponding to the DRX configuration is 1, it indicates that the activation state of the DRX configuration is activated; otherwise, if the bit value of the first indication information corresponding to the DRX configuration is 0, it indicates that the activation state of the DRX configuration is deactivated. It should be noted that the DRX configuration parameter corresponding to each DRX configuration in the one or more sets of DRX configurations contained in the first DRX configuration information can contain the first indication information, and only part of the DRX configuration parameter corresponding to the DRX configuration contained in the first DRX configuration information can contain the first indication information.

[0120] In another possible implementation, the first DRX configuration information further comprises first indication information, which is used to indicate the activation state of one or more sets of DRX configurations.

[0121] In some embodiments, the first indication information can be in the form of bit mapping, and the first indication information comprises a plurality of bits, each bit corresponding to a set of DRX configurations, and the activation state of each DRX configuration in the one or more sets of DRX configurations corresponding to the bit is indicated according to different values of the bit. For example, if the bit value corresponding to the DRX configuration is 1, it indicates that the activation state of the DRX configuration is activated; otherwise, if the bit value corresponding to the DRX configuration is 0, it indicates that the activation state of the DRX configuration is deactivated. It should be noted that the first indication information can be used to indicate the activation state of all DRX configurations contained in the first DRX configuration information, or can be used to indicate the activation state of part of the DRX configurations contained in the first DRX configuration information.

[0122] In some embodiments, the first DRX configuration information further comprises a DRX configuration number corresponding to each DRX configuration in the one or more sets of DRX configurations.

[0123] In the embodiments of the present application, a plurality of numbering modes of DRX configuration are provided. The DRX configuration number carried in the first DRX configuration information can be obtained by numbering according to the following numbering modes.

[0124] The plurality of numbering modes include:

[0125] 1. A plurality of sets of DRX configurations of the first terminal are uniformly numbered. In other words, the DRX configurations for the Uu interface and the DRX configurations for the direct communication interface of the first terminal can be uniformly numbered.

[0126] 2. A plurality of sets of DRX configurations for the Uu interface of the first terminal are uniformly numbered.

[0127] 3. A plurality of sets of DRX configurations for the direct communication interface of the first terminal are uniformly numbered.

[0128] In the cases of 2 and 3, the DRX configuration number of a certain DRX configuration for the direct communication interface of the first terminal can be the same as the DRX configuration number of a certain DRX configuration for the Uu interface of the first terminal.

[0129] 4. A plurality of sets of DRX configurations on each resource unit of the first terminal are uniformly numbered.

[0130] The resource unit includes at least one of the following: a cell, a frequency, and a BWP (Bandwidth Part). In other words, for each resource unit, the DRX configurations for the Uu interface and the DRX configurations for the direct communication interface of the first terminal can be uniformly numbered. The same DRX configuration number can exist on different resource units.

[0131] 5. A plurality of sets of DRX configurations for the Uu interface of the first terminal on each resource unit are uniformly numbered.

[0132] 6. A plurality of sets of DRX configurations for the direct communication interface of the first terminal on each resource unit are uniformly numbered.

[0133] In the cases of 5 and 6, on the same resource unit, the DRX configuration number of a certain DRX configuration for the direct communication interface of the first terminal can be the same as the DRX configuration number of a certain DRX configuration for the Uu interface of the first terminal.

[0134] In step 402, the first terminal determines the activation state of each set of DRX configurations in the one or more sets of DRX configurations according to the first indication information.

[0135] The activation state of the DRX configuration includes activation or deactivation.

[0136] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, a configuration using method is provided, which is taken as an example of application to the first terminal and includes the following steps:

[0137] Step 501: The first terminal acquires first DRX configuration information for the first interface.

[0138] Step 501 is the same as step 401, and the embodiments of the present application will not be described here. It should be noted that in step 501, the first DRX configuration information can not carry the first indication information.

[0139] Step 502: The first terminal determines the activation state of each DRX configuration in one or more DRX configurations according to the first condition.

[0140] The activation state of the DRX configuration includes activation or deactivation.

[0141] In the optional embodiments of the present application, the first terminal can determine the activation state of each DRX configuration in one or more DRX configurations according to whether the first condition is met.

[0142] For example, in one possible implementation, if the first condition is met, the first terminal determines that the activation state of each DRX configuration in one or more DRX configurations is deactivation, and if the first condition is not met, the first terminal determines that the activation state of each DRX configuration in one or more DRX configurations is activation.

[0143] In another possible implementation, if the first condition is met, the first terminal determines that the activation state of each DRX configuration in one or more DRX configurations is activation, and if the first condition is not met, the first terminal determines that the activation state of each DRX configuration in one or more DRX configurations is deactivation.

[0144] In yet another possible implementation, if the first condition is met, the first terminal determines that the activation state of a part of specific DRX configurations in the first DXR configuration information is activation, and the activation state of another part of DRX configurations is deactivation.

[0145] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, a configuration using method is provided, which is taken as an example of application to the first terminal and includes the following steps:

[0146] Step 601: The first terminal acquires first DRX configuration information for the first interface.

[0147] Step 601 is the same as steps 401 and 501, and the embodiments of the present application will not be described here. It should be noted that in step 601, the first DRX configuration information can not carry the first indication information.

[0148] Step 602, the first terminal determines the activation state of each DRX configuration in the one or more sets of DRX configurations as deactivated.

[0149] In the embodiments shown in FIGS. 4-6, the first terminal obtains the first DRX configuration information for the first interface, the first interface including the Uu interface and / or the direct communication interface, the first DRX configuration information including the DRX configuration parameters corresponding to the one or more sets of DRX configurations, and then in the case that the first terminal carries the first indication information in the first DRX configuration information, the first terminal can determine the activation state of each DRX configuration in the one or more sets of DRX configurations according to the first indication information; or the first terminal can determine the activation state of each DRX configuration in the one or more sets of DRX configurations according to the first condition; or the first terminal can determine the activation state of each DRX configuration in the one or more sets of DRX configurations as deactivated, thereby providing a working mode of the terminal in the case of configuring multiple sets of DRX configurations.

[0150] In optional embodiments of the present application, the manner in which the first terminal obtains the first DRX configuration information is related to the type of the first interface, and in some embodiments:

[0151] 1. If the first interface is the Uu interface, the first terminal obtains the first DRX configuration information from the first network side device.

[0152] The first network side device is a network side device that provides services to the first terminal, and in optional embodiments of the present application, the first network side device can include a CU and a DU. Specifically, if the first interface is the Uu interface, the first terminal can obtain the first DRX configuration information from the CU.

[0153] 2. If the first interface is the direct communication interface, the first terminal obtains the first DRX configuration information from the second terminal. The second terminal and the first terminal have a direct communication interface therebetween.

[0154] In optional embodiments of the present application, the step 502 of "the first terminal determines the activation state of each DRX configuration in the one or more sets of DRX configurations according to the first condition" may, for example, include: in the case that the first condition is met, the first terminal determines the activation state of each DRX configuration in the one or more sets of DRX configurations as deactivated.

[0155] In optional embodiments of the present application, the first condition can include at least one of the following: 1. The first terminal supports multiple sets of DRX configurations on at least one resource unit, where the resource unit includes at least one of the following: a cell, a frequency point, a bandwidth part (BWP); 2. The first terminal supports activation and / or deactivation of the DRX configurations; 3. The first DRX configuration information is carried in a target parameter in RRC signaling, where the target parameter is a parameter introduced in 3GPP Rel-19 or a parameter introduced in a protocol version after 3GPP Rel-19; 4. The first terminal supports a target version of the communication protocol, where the target version includes at least one of the following: 3GPP Rel-19, other protocol versions after 3GPP Rel-19; 5. The first terminal supports a target version of the communication protocol, and the first terminal supports extended reality (XR) services.

[0156] In optional embodiments of the present application, the activation state of the DRX configuration in the first terminal can be further adjusted after the initial determination.

[0157] For example, in optional embodiments of the present application, if the first terminal receives a handover command, or if the first terminal enters an inactive state, the first terminal can determine that the activation state of each set of DRX configurations in one or more sets of DRX configurations is deactivated.

[0158] For another example, in optional embodiments of the present application, the activation state of the DRX configuration in the first terminal can be further adjusted according to an indication of a communication peer after the initial determination, where the communication peer can include the first network-side device and / or the second terminal described above.

[0159] Referring to FIG. 7, the configuration use method provided by the embodiments of the present application can further include the following steps:

[0160] Step 701: The first terminal receives first signaling.

[0161] In optional embodiments of the present application, the first signaling is RRC signaling, MAC CE (MAC Control Element), or physical layer signaling. In some embodiments, in the case where the first interface is a direct communication interface, the first signaling can include: a target address identifier; or a source address identifier and a target address identifier.

[0162] In optional embodiments of the present application, if the first interface is a Uu interface, the first terminal can receive the first signaling sent by the first network-side device. As described above, the first network-side device includes a CU and a DU, and specifically, in optional embodiments of the present application, the first terminal can receive the first signaling from the CU or the DU. In optional embodiments of the present application, if the first interface is a direct communication interface, the first terminal can receive the first signaling sent by the second terminal.

[0163] In optional embodiments of the present application, the first signaling contains at least one of the following:

[0164] 1. second indication information.

[0165] In some embodiments, in one possible implementation, the first signaling can contain second indication information, which is used to indicate the activation state of a set of DRX configurations, and the second indication information corresponds to the DRX configurations one by one. It should be noted that the first signaling can carry the second indication information corresponding to each set of DRX configurations in one or more sets of DRX configurations in all DRX configurations of the terminal, or can only carry the second indication information corresponding to each set of DRX configurations in one or more sets of DRX configurations in part of the DRX configurations of the terminal.

[0166] In some embodiments, in another possible implementation, the first signaling can include second indication information, which is used to indicate the activation state of each set of DRX configuration in one or more sets of DRX configurations. It should be noted that the second indication information can be used to indicate the activation state of each set of DRX configuration in one or more sets of DRX configurations in all DRX configurations of the terminal, or can be used to indicate the activation state of each set of DRX configuration in one or more sets of DRX configurations in part of the DRX configurations of the terminal.

[0167] 2. interface indication information. The interface indication information is used to indicate the interface type of the first interface, and the interface type includes a Uu interface and / or a direct communication interface. In some embodiments, in the case of the first signaling being a MAC CE, the interface indication information is an LCID (Logical Channel Identifier) contained in a MAC subheader corresponding to the MAC CE or is a first interface indication field in the MAC CE.

[0168] 3. resource indication information. The resource indication information is used to indicate a resource unit. As described above, the resource unit can be a cell, a frequency point, or a BWP.

[0169] In a possible case, the first signaling can only include the second indication information. In some embodiments, in a case where the numbering manner of the DRX configurations is that multiple sets of DRX configurations of the first terminal are uniformly numbered, this first signaling can be used.

[0170] Taking the first signaling as a MAC CE for example, assuming that the first terminal supports at most 4 sets of DRX configurations, the format of the first signaling can be as shown in FIG. 8, where Di indicates whether the DRX configuration numbered i is activated or deactivated, for example, Di taking a value of 0 indicates that the DRX configuration numbered i is deactivated, and Di taking a value of 1 indicates that the DRX configuration numbered i is activated.

[0171] In another possible case, the first signaling can include interface indication information and second indication information of one or more sets of DRX configurations for the interface indicated by the interface indication information. In some embodiments, in a case where the numbering manner of the DRX configurations is that multiple sets of DRX configurations of the first terminal for the Uu interface are uniformly numbered, and / or multiple sets of DRX configurations of the first terminal for the direct communication interface are uniformly numbered, this first signaling can be used.

[0172] Taking the first signaling as a MAC CE for example, the format of the first signaling can reuse the format shown in FIG. 8, except that the LCID contained in the MAC subheader corresponding to the MAC CE is the interface indication information, which is used to indicate that the type of the first interface is the Uu interface or the direct communication interface, for example, if the LCID indicates that the first interface is the Uu interface, Di indicates whether the DRX configuration numbered i for the Uu interface is activated or deactivated.

[0173] In yet another possible case, the first signaling can include resource indication information and second indication information of one or more sets of DRX configurations on a resource unit indicated by the resource indication information. In some embodiments, in a case where the numbering manner of the DRX configurations is that multiple sets of DRX configurations of the first terminal on each resource unit are uniformly numbered, this first signaling can be used.

[0174] Taking the first signaling as a MAC CE and the resource unit as a cell for example, the format of the first signaling can be one of the formats shown in FIG. 9 or FIG. 10.

[0175] As shown in FIG. 9, the first signaling can be separately sent for each serving cell, where the serving cell idex in FIG. 9 is the resource indication information, and the first terminal supports at most 4 sets of DRX configurations on the resource unit indicated by the resource indication information, where Di indicates whether the DRX configuration numbered i on the resource unit indicated by the resource indication information is activated or deactivated.

[0176] As shown in FIG. 10, the first signaling can be jointly sent for multiple serving cells, where it is assumed that there are 8 serving cells, and the first terminal supports at most 4 sets of DRX configurations on each serving cell, Celli in FIG. 10 is resource indication information, used to indicate the serving cell numbered i, and each row below corresponds to one Celli, where Di in each row identifies whether the DRX configuration numbered i on the serving cell indicated by the corresponding resource indication information Celli is activated or deactivated.

[0177] In yet another possible case, the first signaling can include: interface indication information, resource indication information, and second indication information of one or more sets of DRX configurations for the interface indicated by the interface indication information on the resource unit indicated by the resource indication information. In some embodiments, this first signaling can be used in the case where the numbering manner of the DRX configurations is that the first terminal uniformly numbers the multiple sets of DRX configurations for the Uu interface on each resource unit, and / or the first terminal uniformly numbers the multiple sets of DRX configurations for the direct communication interface on each resource unit.

[0178] Taking the first signaling as an example of a MAC CE, the format of the first signaling can reuse the formats shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, except that the LCID contained in the MAC subheader corresponding to the MAC CE is the interface indication information, which is used to indicate that the type of the first interface is the Uu interface or the direct communication interface.

[0179] Step 702, the first terminal determines the activation state of each set of DRX configurations in one or more sets of DRX configurations according to the first signaling.

[0180] In optional embodiments of the present application, the first terminal can report reference information to the communication peer, which is used to generate the first signaling. It should be noted that the reference information can not be the only basis for generating the first signaling, and in actual implementation, the first signaling can be generated based on the reference information and other information together.

[0181] If the first interface is the Uu interface, the first terminal can send first information to the CU, where the first information is a kind of reference information.

[0182] In optional embodiments of the present application, the first information comprises at least one of the following: 1. an identifier of the DRX configuration that the first terminal expects to activate and / or expects to deactivate, for example, the "identifier of the DRX configuration" herein can be a DRX configuration number; 2. a service characteristic related parameter of the uplink service of the first terminal, in some embodiments, the service characteristic related parameter is used to represent the characteristic of the service, and the service characteristic related parameter of the uplink service can at least comprise a cycle of the uplink service, in optional embodiments of the present application, the service characteristic related parameter of the uplink service can comprise all or part of the content of UE Assistance Information (UAI).

[0183] If the first interface is a direct communication interface, the first terminal can send the second information to the second terminal, wherein the second information is a kind of reference information.

[0184] In optional embodiments of the present application, the second information comprises at least one of the following: 1. an identifier of the DRX configuration that the first terminal expects to activate and / or expects to deactivate, for example, the "identifier of the DRX configuration" herein can be a DRX configuration number; 2. a service characteristic related parameter of all or part of the first service on the direct communication interface between the first terminal and the second terminal, wherein the service characteristic related parameter is used to represent the characteristic of the service, and the first service is the service in the transmission direction from the first terminal to the second terminal, and the service characteristic related parameter of the first service at least comprises a cycle of the first service.

[0186] Step 1101, the first network side device sends first DRX configuration information for the Uu interface to the first terminal.

[0187] In some embodiments, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 11, the first DRX configuration information further comprises first indication information, and the first indication information is used to indicate the activation state of each DRX configuration in the one or more DRX configurations.

[0188] As described above, the first network side device comprises a CU and a DU, and specifically, the CU can send the first DRX configuration information for the Uu interface to the first terminal.

[0189] In optional embodiments of the present application, the first network-side device can determine the first DRX configuration information according to the following information.

[0190] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, a configuration use method is provided, which is applied to the first network-side device as an example, and includes the following steps:

[0191] Step 1201: The first network-side device sends first DRX configuration information for a Uu interface to the first terminal.

[0192] Step 1201 is the same as step 1101, and embodiments of the present application will not be described here. Unlike step 1101, in step 1201, the first DRX configuration information can not carry the first indication information.

[0193] Step 1202: The first network-side device determines an activation state of each DRX configuration in one or more DRX configurations according to a first condition.

[0194] In optional embodiments of the present application, the first network-side device can determine the activation state of each DRX configuration in one or more DRX configurations according to whether the first condition is met.

[0195] For example, in a possible implementation, if the first condition is met, the first network-side device determines that the activation state of each of the one or more sets of DRX configuration is deactivated, and if the first condition is not met, the first network-side device determines that the activation state of each of the one or more sets of DRX configuration is activated.

[0198] After determining the activation state of each of the one or more sets of DRX configuration, the first network-side device can instruct the first terminal to adjust the activation state of the one or more sets of DRX configuration in a subsequent step.

[0202] Step 1302, the first network-side device determines that the activation state of each of the one or more sets of DRX configuration is deactivated.

[0203] As described above, after determining that the activation state of each of the one or more sets of DRX configuration is deactivated, the first network-side device can instruct the first terminal to adjust the activation state of the one or more sets of DRX configuration in a subsequent step.
