Paging processing method, device, apparatus and medium

[0001] The present disclosure claims priority to the Chinese patent application No. 202411130800.5, filed on August 16, 2024, with the Chinese Patent Office, and entitled “Paging processing method, device, apparatus and medium”, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a paging processing method, device, apparatus and medium. BACKGROUND

[0003] Currently, for example, in 2G to 5G mobile communication transmission systems, they are all based on cellular communication systems, each cell has a fixed frequency usage range, a pre-planned cell coverage, and multiple cells cooperate to complete the coverage. The access network side (base station) allocates a physical layer cell identity (PCI) for each cell, and allocates a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) for each connected terminal, that is, a unique identifier in the cell for the terminal.

[0004] In the current mobile communication transmission system, the scheduling and transmission of the terminal by the network side are bound to the cell, and the base station or the terminal organizes the signaling or data to be sent on the corresponding channel for transmission, and performs channel coding, in which a scrambling operation needs to be performed, and the receiving end performs corresponding descrambling operation to restore the signaling or data. In related communication protocols, the generation of the scrambling code of the channel for communication with a single terminal needs two identifiers: a cell identifier and a terminal identifier, the cell identifier includes the above-mentioned PCI, and the unique identifier of the terminal in the cell includes the above-mentioned C-RNTI.

The transmission between the above-mentioned base station and the terminal uses the cell identifier and the unique identifier of the terminal in the cell for scrambling, which is not suitable for the scheduling and transmission of the terminal in the network required by the user-centered network.

[0024] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings. While certain embodiments of the present disclosure will be shown and described below, it is to be understood that the present disclosure can be embodied in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, and not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0031] As mentioned above, in the satellite beam hopping mode, the beam will hop and scan between different wave positions, for example, for a beam A containing wave positions 1-n, A will hop and scan between wave positions 1-n, and at the first time, it can be located at wave position 1, at the second time, it can be located at wave position 2, and so on. In the earth-moving scenario, the wave position moves with the satellite. If the current service is wave position 1, after the user equipment receives the relevant paging configuration information at wave position 1, if the user equipment is at the wave position edge position, when the beam next serves wave position 1, the user equipment can have been in the range of the next wave position, then obviously the paging configuration information corresponding to wave position 1 is no longer suitable for the new wave position, and the user equipment needs to perform cell search again to obtain the paging configuration information corresponding to the new wave position. At the same time, referring to FIG. 1, the satellite will move, for example, the current position of the user terminal is located in the coverage range of beam 1, after the satellite moves to the right relative to the user equipment, the current position of the user terminal is located in the coverage range of beam 3, after the satellite moves, the user equipment needs to perform cell search again to obtain the paging configuration information corresponding to wave position 3. Thus, the energy consumption of the user equipment for paging processing is large.

According to different application scenarios, the base station can also be referred to as an access point, or can be a device in an access network that communicates with wireless user equipment through one or more sectors over an air interface, or other names. The network device can be used to exchange received air frames and Internet Protocol (IP) packets as a router between wireless user equipment and the rest of the access network, which can include an Internet Protocol (IP) communication network.

For example, the network device related to the embodiments of the present disclosure can be an evolved network device (eNB or e-NodeB) in a long term evolution (LTE) system, a 5G base station (gNB) in a 5G or 6G network architecture, etc., and can also be a home evolved base station (HeNB), a relay node, a home base station (femto), a pico base station, a network test device, etc., which are not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. In some network structures, the network device can include a centralized unit (CU) node and a distributed unit (DU) node, and the centralized unit and the distributed unit can also be arranged geographically apart.

[0036] The following will be combined with specific embodiments, first focusing on the user equipment side, and introducing the paging processing method.

[0037] FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a paging processing method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, which can be executed by a paging processing apparatus. The apparatus can be implemented by software and / or hardware, and can be integrated in a user equipment in general. As shown in FIG. 2, the method includes the following steps.

[0038] In step 201, wave position system information is acquired, wherein the wave position system information includes wave position position association information and paging configuration information corresponding to the first wave position and the adjacent wave position of the first wave position where the user equipment is located.

[0039] It can be understood that the first wave position of the embodiments of the present disclosure is the current service wave position, for example, the current corresponding beam jumps to wave position m, and wave position m is the corresponding first wave position.

[0040] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the base station broadcasts related information in the current service first wave position, and if the user equipment receives the broadcasted related information, it is considered that the user equipment is currently served in the first wave position.

[0041] In the embodiment, if the user equipment acquires the wave position system information broadcast by the base station in the first wave position currently served, the user equipment is currently located in the first wave position, wherein the wave position system information contains a plurality of wave position level information, wherein in addition to containing the wave position location related information and the paging configuration information of the first wave position, the wave position location related information and the paging configuration information corresponding to each adjacent wave position are also included, that is, in the embodiment, the information related to the current wave position and the adjacent wave position of the current wave position is synchronously broadcast, so that even if the user equipment jumps to the adjacent wave position, it is not necessary to perform cell search again to acquire the related information, the beam jump is predicted, and the energy consumption of the user equipment is reduced.

[0042] The wave position location related information can contain any information related to the wave position location which can be directly or indirectly determined, and in some possible embodiments, the wave position location related information includes: a beam pattern, wave position location information, and timestamp information, wherein the timestamp information corresponds to the time point of the wave position location information, and the timestamp information is used to indicate the wave position location information at the corresponding time point, the timestamp can be in the form of a system frame, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), etc., the wave position location information includes: the beam angle under the corresponding wave position, and / or the wave position center point coordinates under the corresponding wave position, etc., the beam pattern includes: the service start time, the residence time, the beam period of each wave position under the corresponding beam, and / or the beam jump rule, the residence time can be understood as the service time of the beam in the corresponding wave position when jumping to the corresponding wave position, for example, the beam A jumps to the wave position 1 and then jumps to the wave position 2 after 10 ms, and the residence time of the wave position 1 is 10 ms, wherein the beam period is the total time length after the corresponding beam jumps through all the wave positions, for example, for the beam A, if it jumps through the wave position 1 to the wave position 4, it needs a total of 40 ms to jump from the wave position 1 to the wave position 4, and the beam period is 40 ms. It should be noted that the service start time of each wave position defines the order between the jumping wave positions, etc.

[0043] In addition, the paging configuration information contains the Radio Resource Control (RRC) information elements such as pagingSearchSpace and PCCH-Config broadcast by the base station in the SIB1 message, and the SIB1 can also be referred to as Remaining Minimum System Information (RMSI), and the user equipment can determine the Paging Frame (PF) and the Paging Occasion (PO) corresponding to the terminal equipment identifier UE_ID based on the paging configuration information, so as to perform paging monitoring based on the PO and the PF.

[0044] In the embodiment, in order to further save computing power, the user equipment is determined whether to meet the preset beam reselection condition according to the beam position association information of the first beam before the second beam in which the user equipment is to be camped next is determined according to the beam position association information of the adjacent beam. Only when the preset beam reselection condition is met, the subsequent step 202 is performed, so as to avoid that the user equipment is quickly out of the coverage range of the first beam as the satellite moves.

[0045] For example, still referring to FIG. 1, if the serving beam at t1 is beam 1, the first beam is beam 1, and the satellite moves to the right, beam 1 will pass the position of the user equipment, so that even if beam 1 is within the effective service time, the user equipment will not be in its coverage range.

[0046] It should be noted that in different application scenarios, the manner of determining whether the user equipment meets the preset beam reselection condition according to the beam position association information of the first beam is different, for example as follows:

[0047] In some possible examples, according to the beam position association information of the first beam and the terminal position information of the user equipment, it is determined whether the user equipment is located at the edge area of the first beam. When the user equipment is located at the edge area of the first beam, it is determined that the user equipment meets the preset beam reselection condition. The edge area can be an area with a distance less than a preset distance threshold from the center point of the first beam, and the preset distance threshold can be set according to the scene requirement.

[0048] In actual execution process, when the user equipment is located at the edge area of the first beam, it can also be determined whether the user equipment is located behind the center point of the first beam in the moving direction of the satellite. When the user equipment is located behind the center point of the first beam, it is determined that the preset beam reselection condition is met. This is because if the user equipment is located in front of the center point of the first beam in the moving direction of the satellite, the coverage range of the first beam will still need a certain time to pass the position of the user equipment as the satellite moves.

[0049] In the example, the base station can also send ephemeris information of the corresponding satellite to the user equipment, the ephemeris information can include the moving speed and direction of the satellite, and the time difference information between the current time and the timestamp information of the first wave position can be calculated, and the current wave position range information of the first wave position can be determined according to the time difference information and the ephemeris information, that is, the wave position information of the current first wave position is determined in combination with the ephemeris information of the satellite, and then the user equipment is determined whether it is located in the edge area of the first wave position according to the terminal position information and the current wave position range information. For example, when the wave position information of the first wave position includes the wave position center point coordinates, the distance between the terminal position information and the current wave position center point coordinates can be calculated, and whether the user equipment is located in the edge area of the first wave position is determined according to the distance.

[0050] In some possible examples, the user equipment can also monitor the current signal quality of the first wave position, and determine that the signal quality is less than the preset signal quality threshold, and then determine that the preset wave position reselection condition is met.

[0051] In step 202, the second wave position in which the user equipment resides next is determined in the adjacent wave position according to the wave position association information of the adjacent wave position.

[0052] It should be noted that the adjacent wave position of the first wave position mentioned in the embodiments of the present disclosure is the wave position adjacent to the first wave position and located after the first wave position in the moving direction of the satellite. For example, continuing to refer to FIG. 1, for the wave position 1, the adjacent wave positions include the wave positions 2-4, and for the wave position 3, the adjacent wave positions include the wave positions 5-7, and the like.

[0053] It should be understood that since the adjacent wave position is located after the first wave position in the moving direction of the satellite, the adjacent wave position can cover the location of the user equipment as the satellite moves, and since the beam jumps between the wave positions, the base station determines the second wave position in the adjacent wave position, and the paging configuration information of the second wave position is obtained in the wave position system message broadcast in the first wave position. Therefore, the user equipment does not need to search for the paging configuration information of the second wave position again, and the paging power consumption of the user equipment is reduced on the basis of implementing the paging processing in the satellite beam hopping mode.

[0054] It should be noted that in different application scenarios, the second wave position in which the user equipment resides next is determined in the adjacent wave position according to the wave position association information of the adjacent wave position, and examples are as follows:

[0055] In some possible embodiments, the first wave position has a plurality of adjacent wave positions, and the distance between the user equipment and each adjacent wave position is calculated according to the wave position location information of the adjacent wave position and the terminal location information of the user equipment. For example, the wave position location information includes the coordinates of the wave position center point, and the distance between the coordinates of the wave position center point of each adjacent wave position and the terminal location information is calculated respectively, and the adjacent wave position corresponding to the minimum distance is determined as the second wave position.

[0056] For example, continuing to refer to FIG. 1, the second wave position is determined as the wave position 3, at the time t2, the user equipment is located in the coverage range of the wave position 3, and when the beam jumps to the wave position 3, the user equipment can directly perform the paging monitoring based on the pre-acquired paging configuration information of the wave position 3.

[0057] In some possible embodiments, when the wave position location information includes the beam angle, the moving track area of each adjacent wave position can also be inferred according to the ephemeris information and the timestamp information, and the adjacent wave position in which the moving track area is located at the location of the user equipment is determined as the second wave position, and the like.

[0058] In step 203, the paging monitoring is performed according to the paging configuration information of the first wave position and the second wave position.

[0059] In this embodiment, the paging monitoring is performed according to the paging configuration information of the first wave position and the second wave position, that is, in the satellite beam hopping mode, the service time of the corresponding wave position is determined according to the service start time, the residence time and the beam period of the corresponding wave position, and the service time is the effective residence time of the corresponding wave position. In the service time of the first wave position, the paging monitoring is performed according to the paging configuration information of the first wave position, and in the service time of the second wave position, the paging monitoring is performed according to the paging configuration information of the second wave position.

[0060] In the service time of the first wave position, the user equipment calculates the PF and the PO matched with the UE_ID of the user equipment according to the paging configuration information of the first wave position, and the PF and the PO can be calculated in the prior art, which is not described herein. The user equipment monitors the PF and the PO matched with the UE_ID in the first wave position.

[0061] In the service time of the second wave position, the user equipment calculates the PF and the PO matched with the UE_ID of the user equipment according to the paging configuration information of the second wave position, and the PF and the PO can be calculated in the prior art, which is not described herein. The user equipment monitors the PO corresponding to the PF matched with the UE_ID in the second wave position.

[0062] In actual execution, if the paging period is much larger than the beam period, the user equipment can continuously listen in the PO corresponding to the PF matching the UE_ID, for example, if the beam period is 40 ms and the paging period is 160 ms, the user equipment can continuously listen in the corresponding beam position for one beam period after the interval of one paging period from the last PF matching the UE_ID. For example, the user listens to the paging at the 0th ms, and can continuously listen in the corresponding beam position for one beam period (121-160 ms).

[0063] To sum up, the paging processing method of the embodiment of the present disclosure acquires beam position system information, wherein the beam position system information includes beam position association information and paging configuration information corresponding to the first beam position currently occupied by the user equipment and the adjacent beam position of the first beam position, determines the second beam position in which the user equipment next resides according to the beam position association information of the adjacent beam position, and performs paging listening processing according to the paging configuration information of the first beam position and the second beam position. In the technical solution, the beam position system information of the adjacent beam position of the current service beam position is also broadcasted, and on the basis of realizing the paging processing in the satellite beam hopping mode, the paging power consumption of the user equipment is reduced.

[0064] Next, the paging processing method of the embodiment of the present disclosure is described below focusing on the base station side.

[0065] FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a paging processing method according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 3, the method includes:

[0066] Step 301, broadcast beam position system information, wherein the beam position system information includes beam position association information and paging configuration information corresponding to the first beam position currently served and the adjacent beam position of the first beam position.

[0067] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the base station broadcasts the beam position system information, and the beam position system information includes the beam position association information and the paging configuration information corresponding to the adjacent beam position of the first beam position in addition to the beam position association information and the paging configuration information of the first beam position currently served.

[0068] The user equipment determines the second beam position in which the user equipment next resides according to the beam position association information of the adjacent beam position, and the user equipment performs paging listening processing according to the paging configuration information of the first beam position or the second beam position.

[0069] In some possible embodiments, after the user equipment is registered in the core network, the core network can configure the relevant PF and PO and other paging parameters in a cell unit, the base station calculates the paging configuration information based on the paging parameters provided by the core network, and the base station broadcasts the paging configuration information to the user equipment through the SIBI information block. After the user equipment listens to the paging configuration information, the user equipment calculates the PF and PO that need to be listened to, and listens to the paging message in the PO corresponding to the PF.

[0070] In some possible embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4, since the core network side can know the number of user equipments contained in the cell and the like, in order to load balancing and the like, the core network can perform beam scheduling according to the number of user equipments, the location of the cell and the like. For example, the core network sends a beam scheduling instruction to the satellite through the satellite gateway, and the satellite adjusts the pointing and function of the beam based on the scheduling instruction. In this embodiment, the core network generates beam scheduling information, which can include the specific beam to be scheduled, the beam frequency point, the beam pattern and the like. The base station calculates the beam position association information based on the beam scheduling information, that is, the base station adjusts the phase of the phased array antenna according to the beam scheduling information to form a beam pointing to a specific direction, so as to realize the hopping of the beam between the beam positions and the like.

[0071] Continuing to refer to FIG. 4, after the user equipment determines the first beam position and the second beam position, the user equipment can listen to the paging message sent by the base station within the effective residence time of the first beam position and the second beam position.

[0072] In summary, the paging processing method of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the base station broadcasts the beam position system information at the beam position level. In addition to the beam position association information corresponding to the first beam position and the paging configuration information, the beam position system information also includes the beam position association information corresponding to the adjacent beam position corresponding to the first beam position. The user equipment can perform beam reselection based on the beam position association information of the adjacent beam position, select the next second beam position to reside in, and avoid the need to request and obtain the paging configuration information of the second beam position again when the user equipment is located in the coverage range of the second beam position. On the basis of realizing the paging processing in the satellite beam hopping mode, the paging power consumption of the user equipment is reduced.

[0073] In order to realize the above-mentioned embodiments, the present disclosure further provides a user equipment.
