Description

Discontinuous reception processing method, device and storage medium

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of wireless communications technologies, and in particular, to a discontinuous reception processing method, device, and storage medium.

Background

DRX (Discontinuous Reception) is an effective mechanism for helping a UE (User Equipment) to save power consumption, and achieves the purpose of saving power for the UE by enabling the UE to periodically turn off a receiver, not monitoring a PDCCH (Physical downlink control channel) channel for a period of time, entering a sleep state, and waking up and monitoring when a sleep time expires. Idle, inactive and connected UEs may all configure DRX. For a connected terminal, the DRX mechanism may have a certain effect on the delay of data transmission, and when downlink data arrives, if the UE is in a dormant state, the UE needs to wake up to transmit the data. However, for the delay insensitive service, it is meaningful to configure DRX for the terminal in consideration of power consumption saving for the UE.

Detailed Description

The inventor notices in the process of invention that:

at an intersection in an urban area, due to the shielding of buildings and other reasons, signals are attenuated quickly within a short distance range, so that the communication quality is rapidly deteriorated, and even a call drop is generated. For 5G systems operating in higher frequency bands, with the introduction of multi-beam technology, the channel quality may change at a faster rate. On the other hand, the degree of such corner effects is also related to the velocity of the terminal, and the faster the terminal moves, the higher the probability that corner effects occur.

At present, the configuration and cancellation of DRX parameters are performed through an RRC (Radio Resource Control) message of a base station, and for the scenario of high-frequency or high-speed movement or corner effect, if the DRX configuration is still cancelled through the RRC message during the handover process, the UE may need to end the sleep period to wake up to receive the handover command due to the fact that the DRX is not cancelled timely enough, thereby causing the UE to switch untimely and causing a handover failure.

Based on this, the embodiment of the present invention provides a scheme for a base station configuration terminal to automatically end DRX configuration, and when a condition configured on a network side is satisfied, a UE can end a DRX state, monitor a PDCCH channel at any time, and ensure that a handover command is received and a handover process is successfully completed.

The following describes embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings.

In the description process, the implementation of the UE and the network side will be described separately, and then an example of the implementation of the UE and the network side in cooperation with each other will be given to better understand the implementation of the scheme given in the embodiment of the present invention. Such an explanation does not mean that the two must be implemented together or separately, and actually, when the UE and the network are implemented separately, the UE and the network solve the problems of the UE and the network, respectively, and when the UE and the network are used in combination, a better technical effect is obtained.

Fig. 1 is a schematic flowchart of an implementation process of a DRX processing method on a network side, as shown in the figure, the DRX processing method may include:

step 101, a network side sends an instruction to User Equipment (UE), wherein the instruction is used for ending a DRX state, suspending the DRX state, canceling DRX parameter configuration or ending a DRX dormant state when the UE meets a preset event; or, the indication is used for keeping or recovering the DRX state and/or configuration when the UE does not meet the preset event.

Fig. 2 is a schematic flowchart of an implementation of a DRX processing method at a UE side, as shown in the figure, the DRX processing method may include:

step 201, when the UE meets a preset event, ending the DRX state, suspending the DRX state, canceling DRX parameter configuration or ending the DRX dormant state; or,

The suspension of the DRX state refers to a temporary behavior, and when the UE leaves the preset state, the DRX resumes. The UE ends the DRX sleep state, meaning that the UE is to continuously monitor the PDCCH.

Specifically, when the UE operates in a higher frequency band, or enters a high speed mobility state, or enters a corner effect area, the network side (e.g., a base station) instructs the terminal to automatically end the DRX state, or automatically suspend the DRX state, or cancel the DRX parameter configuration, or end the DRX sleep state;

for the UE, it needs to switch to a new frequency band, for example, the UE goes to a higher frequency band after performing inter-frequency or inter-band switching;

for adding a new frequency band to work together, for example, the new frequency band needs to be added due to carrier aggregation;

for receiving the switching instruction, for example, a command such as Reconfiguration with sync, handover, or the like is received;

for the network side receiving the switching indication information correctly received by the UE, for example, the UE determines that the network side has received a switching confirmation message sent by the UE;

for the measurement report sent by the UE received by the network side, for example, the UE determines that the network side has received the measurement report sent by the UE;

for a UE entering a preset area, e.g., a corner area;

for a UE meeting a newly defined event, e.g., a new event configured by the base station to the UE, the UE may be triggered to end or suspend DRX or cancel DRX parameters, e.g., the UE speed exceeds a certain threshold.

For the UE satisfying the measurement event, it means that the event configured on the network side is satisfied.

Correspondingly, the UE receives the indication from the network side, and when the configured event is satisfied, the UE ends the DRX and enters a state of monitoring the PDCCH at any time.

In an implementation, the UE is configured with the preset event, where the preset event includes one or a combination of a type a event, a type B event, and a type C event for triggering a measurement event or a report.

Specifically, the type A events comprise A1-A6, the type B events comprise B1 and B2, and the type C events comprise C1 and C2. The method specifically comprises the following steps:

event a1(Serving beacons beta threshold) (Event a1(Serving cell becomes better than threshold));

event a2(Serving beacons word threshold) (Event a2(Serving cell becomes worse than threshold));

event A3 (neighbor beacons offset better than the primary cell PCell/PSCell) (Event A3 (neighbor cells better than PCell/PSCell by an offset));

event a4 (neighbor times threshold) (Event a4 (neighbor cells become better than threshold));

event a5(PCell/PSCell beacons word threshold1 and neighbor beacons beta threshold2) (Event a5(PCell/PSCell becomes worse than threshold1, neighbor cells become better than threshold 2));

event a6 (neighbor cells offset between the SCell) (Event a6 (neighbor cells better than SCell by an offset));

event B1(Inter RAT neighbor times threshold) (Event B1(Inter system neighbor cell becomes better than threshold));

event B2(PCell beacons word threshold1 and inter RAT neighbor beacons threshold2) (Event B2(PCell becomes worse than threshold1, inter-system neighbor cell becomes better than threshold 2));

event C1(CSI-RS resource counters threshold) (Event C1(CSI-RS resource becomes better than threshold));

event C2(CSI-RS resource references CSI-RS resource) (Event C2(CSI-RS resource becomes better than reference CSI-RS resource by an offset)).

In the implementation, when the preset event is a newly defined event, the method further includes:

Specifically, the network side may also configure the UE with a condition for automatically ending DRX, such as an A3 and/or a5 event, and whether the corresponding Reference symbol is SSB (Synchronization Signal/physical broadcast Channel Signal block (or Synchronization Signal block), Synchronization Signal and PBCH block) or CSI-RS (CSI Reference Signal; CSI: Channel State Information), and whether the Quality is RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power) or RSRQ (Reference Signal Received Quality ) or SINR (Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio).

In implementation, the network side instructs the UE to end the DRX state, or suspend the DRX state, or cancel the DRX parameter configuration, or end the DRX sleep state by the following means:

and multiplexing the existing RRM measurement configuration, and ending the DRX state by the UE, or suspending the DRX state, or canceling the DRX parameter configuration, or ending the DRX dormant state.

Specifically, the condition may be that an existing RRM (Radio resource management) measurement configuration is multiplexed, or may be configured separately for timely ending the DRX.

In an implementation, the indication is carried by an RRM measurement configuration message when multiplexing an existing RRM measurement configuration.

Specifically, if the existing RRM measurement reporting mechanism is multiplexed, the indication information may also be placed in the RRM measurement configuration message.

In an implementation, the method further comprises the following steps:

and configuring a beam threshold for the UE in a preset state.

Specifically, for a high-frequency band scenario, in addition to the cell-level conditions, the base station may additionally configure beam-related conditions, for example, the UE measures the minimum number N of target cells whose quality is higher than a certain Threshold, that is, the number of beams of the target cell that satisfy the Threshold measured by the UE must exceed or be not less than N (the number of beams indicates that the UE is likely to move to the target cell at this time, instead of receiving a beam signal from the target cell), and the UE may automatically end DRX;

in an implementation, the method further comprises the following steps:

Specifically, for a scenario of high-speed movement, in addition to the events such as A3 or a5, the base station may additionally configure the speed condition of the UE, such as the number M of handovers generated by the UE within a period of time T, i.e. the UE has changed at least M cells within the period of time T, which indicates that the moving speed of the UE is actually higher, and the UE can automatically end the DRX state, or automatically suspend the DRX state, or cancel the DRX parameter configuration, or end the DRX sleep state.

For the UE side, there are: when the preset event is that the UE enters the preset area, the UE determines whether to enter the preset area according to the preset area; or, determining whether the UE enters a preset area according to the indication of the network side.

Specifically, for the area with the corner effect, the network side may store a map according to the past experience, for example, in the network side, which indicates that too many handover failures occurred after the UE enters the area before. Then the new UE enters the vicinity of the area indicated by the map (the network side may determine the location of the UE by using the signal quality of three cells or base stations to locate the UE), and the base station may configure the condition that the UE automatically ends DRX. In addition, the base station may also inform the UE of the above-mentioned map information (e.g., by characterizing with signal quality ranges measured to three cells or base stations), and the UE may perform a mechanism to automatically terminate DRX after entering the area itself.

And the UE receives the indication from the network side, and when the configured event is met, the UE ends the DRX and enters a state of monitoring the PDCCH at any time. Specifically, the UE may be as follows:

in an implementation, the method further comprises the following steps:

Correspondingly, for the network side, the method further comprises the following steps:

Specifically, if the DRX end condition received by the UE is reported by multiplexing RRM measurement, the UE may end DRX immediately after reporting the measurement report; or, considering that the base station needs a certain time to receive and process the reported information, in order to maintain the consistency of the behaviors of the network side and the terminal side, the UE may finish DRX after a certain time length, where the time length may be defined in the protocol or may be configured by the base station to the terminal.

In an implementation, the method further comprises the following steps:

Specifically, if the DRX end condition received by the UE does not multiplex the RRM measurement report, the UE may actively send an indication that the event satisfies or ends DRX to the network side after the event satisfies, and immediately end the DRX state after sending the event, or suspend the DRX state, or cancel the DRX parameter configuration, or end the DRX dormant state; or, as above, to keep the behavior consistency between the network side and the terminal side, the UE may finish DRX after a certain time length, which may be defined in the protocol or configured by the base station to the terminal.

After the base station receives the measurement report of the UE (if the DRX ending condition takes the event reported by the RRM measurement), or the UE satisfies the information of the DRX ending condition, the base station may consider that the UE has turned off the DRX function, so that data can be sent to the UE at any time.

In implementation, the first preset time period, the second preset time period, the third preset time period, the fourth preset time period, the fifth preset time period and the sixth preset time period may be the same or different.

Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of the present invention further provides a network side device, a UE, and a computer readable storage medium, and because the principle of solving the problem of these devices is similar to the DRX processing method, the implementation of these devices may refer to the implementation of the method, and the repeated details are not repeated.
