具体实施方式
下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行清楚描述,显然,所描述的实施例是本申请一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本申请保护的范围。
本申请的说明书和权利要求书中的术语“第一”、“第二”等是用于区别类似的对象,而不用于描述特定的顺序或先后次序。应该理解这样使用的术语在适当情况下可以互换,以便本申请的实施例能够以除了在这里图示或描述的那些以外的顺序实施,且“第一”、“第二”所区别的对象通常为一类,并不限定对象的个数,例如第一对象可以是一个,也可以是多个。此外,说明书以及权利要求中“和/或”表示所连接对象的至少其中之一,字符“/”一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。
值得指出的是,本申请实施例所描述的技术不限于长期演进型(Long Term Evolution,LTE)/LTE的演进(LTE-Advanced,LTE-A)系统,还可用于其他无线通信系统,诸如码分多址(Code Division Multiple Access,CDMA)、时分多址(Time Division Multiple Access,TDMA)、频分多址(Frequency Division Multiple Access,FDMA)、正交频分多址(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access,OFDMA)、单载波频分多址(Single-carrier Frequency-Division Multiple Access,SC-FDMA)和其他系统。本申请实施例 中的术语“系统”和“网络”常被可互换地使用,所描述的技术既可用于以上提及的系统和无线电技术,也可用于其他系统和无线电技术。以下描述出于示例目的描述了新空口(New Radio,NR)系统,并且在以下大部分描述中使用NR术语,但是这些技术也可应用于NR系统应用以外的应用,如第6代(6 th Generation,6G)通信系统。
图1示出本申请实施例可应用的一种无线通信系统的示意图。无线通信系统包括终端11和网络侧设备12。其中,终端11也可以称作终端设备,终端11可以是手机、平板电脑(Tablet Personal Computer)、膝上型电脑(Laptop Computer)或称为笔记本电脑、个人数字助理(Personal Digital Assistant,PDA)、掌上电脑、上网本、超级移动个人计算机(ultra-mobile personal computer,UMPC)、移动上网装置(Mobile Internet Device,MID)、可穿戴式设备(Wearable Device)或车载设备(VUE)、行人终端(PUE)等终端侧设备,可穿戴式设备包括:智能手表、手环、耳机、眼镜等。需要说明的是,在本申请实施例并不限定终端11的具体类型。网络侧设备12可以是基站或核心网,其中,基站可被称为节点B、演进节点B、接入点、基收发机站(Base Transceiver Station,BTS)、无线电基站、无线电收发机、基本服务集(Basic Service Set,BSS)、扩展服务集(Extended Service Set,ESS)、B节点、演进型B节点(eNB)、家用B节点、家用演进型B节点、WLAN接入点、WiFi节点、发送接收点(Transmitting Receiving Point,TRP)或所述领域中其他某个合适的术语,只要达到相同的技术效果,所述基站不限于特定技术词汇,需要说明的是,在本申请实施例中仅以NR系统中的基站为例,但是并不限定基站的具体类型。
下面结合附图,通过一些实施例及其应用场景对本申请实施例提供的UE的能力变更方法进行详细地说明。
图2示出本申请实施例中的UE的能力变更方法的一种流程示意图,该方法200可以由终端执行。换言之,所述方法可以由安装在终端上的软件或 硬件来执行。如图2所示,该方法可以包括以下步骤。
S210,UE确定需要能力变更和/或配置偏好。
在本申请实施例中,多卡终端可以包含多个UE,这些UE称为Multi-SIM UE。需要说明的是,UE可以认为是签约主体。一个终端设备上可以配置有多个签约主体。签约主体可以通过用户识别模块(Subscriber Identity Module,SIM)卡体现。一个SIM卡对应一个网络的签约主体。SIM卡中保存着签约主体的标识,即UE的标识,比如用户身份标识(Subscription Permanent Identifier,SUPI),或国际移动订阅标识(International Mobile Subscription Identity,IMSI)等。所以一个终端上插入多个SIM卡或配置多个电子SIM卡信息时,终端与不同的签约主体可以构成不同的UE。
在本申请实施例中,网络侧设备可以向连接态下的UE发起能力传输过程,从而获取UE的无线接入能力信息。例如,UE在接收到UE能力查询消息(UE Capability Enquiry)后,发送UE能力信息消息(UE Capability Information)。在通信过程中,UE确定需要能力变更和/或配置偏好,例如,对于支持多Tx或多Rx的多卡终端,UE在网络A上驻留或保持连接态的同时,可能需要利用部分Tx或Rx通路来执行网络B上的任务,为了满足此需求,UE确定需要能力变更和/或配置偏好。
S212,UE发送第一请求信息,其中,所述第一请求信息用于向网络侧设备请求能力变更和/或配置偏好。
可选地,所述第一请求信息中可以携带以下(1)至(4)中的至少一项信息。
(1)配置偏好信息。所述配置偏好信息用于指示所述UE期望的配置。例如,配置偏好信息可以包括以下至少之一:
i.配置上限。即UE期望网络的配置不超过该配置偏好。
ii.配置偏好的时间信息,其中,所述时间信息包括以下之一:时长、周期、开始时间。即UE期望配置偏好生效的时间。
iii.周期性的配置转换请求信息。即UE请求周期性的配置转换(Configuration Switching)。例如,网络(NW)A给UE发送两套配置,UE在NWA根据周期,进行配置的转换。
iv.多卡配置偏好指示信息,其中,多卡配置偏好指示信息指示所述配置偏好信息用于多卡。也就是说,该配置偏好是用于多卡目的。
(2)能力变更需求信息。所述能力变更需求信息用于指示所述UE需要能力变更。UE期望网络的配置不超过变更后的能力。
(3)重配置指示信息。所述重配置指示信息用于指示需要网络侧设备重配置所述UE,或者,所述重配置指示信息用于指示不需要网络侧设备重配置所述UE。例如,重配置指示信息指示需要重配置,也就是说配置偏好和/或能力变更需求可能需要网络重配置UE。例如,当前配置有双连接(MR-DC SCG),UE能力变更为不支持双连接,期望网络释放SCG连接。重配置指示信息指示不需要重配置,也就是说,配置偏好和/或能力变更需求可能不需要网络重配置UE,例如,当前配置中没有配置双连接(MR-DC SCG),UE发送第一请求消息来期望网络不配置双连接,此时网络无需发起相应第一请求消息的重配置。
(4)目的指示信息。所述目的指示信息用于指示所述第一请求信息为多卡目的请求能力变更和/或配置偏好。也就是说,UE发送所述第一请求是为了多卡目的,而不是为了省电或过热等,因此,期望网络侧设备进行响应。
在本申请实施例的一个可能的实现方式中,第一请求消息可以通过UE辅助信息(UE assistance information)消息发送。在相关技术中,为了省电或防止过热的目的,UE可以在UE辅助信息消息(UE assistance information)中向网络发送偏好指示。网络决定是否变更UE的配置。例如:UE建议网络配置更少的载波,更少的MIMO层,或更长的DRX cycle。网络可能相应地调整UE的配置。因此,在本申请实施例中,可以复用UE辅助信息消息,在UE辅助信息消息中发送第一请求消息,请求多卡目的的能力变更和/或配 置偏好。
在另一个可能的实现方式中,第一请求消息还可以通过UE能力信息(UE Capability Information)消息发送。在相关技术中,网络侧设备可以向连接态下的UE发起能力传输过程,来获取UE无线接入能力信息。UE在收到网络侧设备发送的UE能力查询消息(UE Capability Enquiry),UE向网络发送UE能力信息消息(UE Capability Information),其中,UE能力信息消息中可以携带UE的能力信息。在本申请实施例中,可以复用UE能力信息消息,在UE能力信息消息中发送第一请求消息,请求多卡目的的能力变更和/或配置偏好。
在本申请实施例的又一个可能的实现方式中,第一请求信息还可以通过无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)连接建立完成消息(RRC Setup Complete)发送。也就是说,利用UE在与网络侧建立RRC连接完成时,向网络侧设备发送的RRC连接建立完成消息中发送上述第一请求信息。
在上述可能的实现方式中,所述RRC连接建立完成消息中携带有所述UE的第一能力信息,其中,所述第一能力信息与第二能力信息不同,所述第二能力信息为所述UE最近一次上报的能力信息,或者所述第二能力信息为所述UE注册网络期间上报的能力信息,或者所述第二能力信息为所述UE的最大能力信息。例如,第二能力为4MIMO,第一能力为2MIMO。或者,第二能力支持双连接,第一能力不支持双连接。
在上述可能的实现方式中,所述UE的能力信息在所述RRC连接建立完成消息对应的RRC连接状态期间为所述第一能力信息。也就是说,UE的能力在本次RRC连接状态期间为第一能力,保持不变。
S214,UE基于所述网络侧设备的响应,执行相应的处理。
UE向网络侧设备发送所述第一请求消息之后,基于网络侧设备对所述第一请求消息的响应,执行相应的处理。
网络侧设备在接收到第一请求消息之后,可能会对该第一请求消息进行 响应,因此,在一个可能的实现方式中,步骤S214可以包括:
所述UE监听所述网络侧设备发送的响应消息;
在监听到所述响应消息的情况下,所述UE基于所述响应消息,执行相应的处理。
在上述可能的实现方式中,上述响应消息可以为RRC重配置消息,即网络侧设备在接收到第一请求消息之后,对终端进行重配置。
或者,上述响应消息也可以为其它消息,该消息中可以携带以下至少一项信息:
(1)接受信息,其中,所述接受信息指示所述网络侧设备接受所述第一请求信息;即指示网络侧设备接受终端发送的第一请求信息。
(2)重配置信息。网络侧设备可以根据第一请求信息重配置UE。例如,重配置符合UE的能力需求,或者重配置不超出UE请求的能力。
在上述可能的实现方式中,可选地,所述UE基于所述响应消息,执行相应的处理时,在所述响应消息中携带所述接受信息的情况下,所述UE应用请求的所述能力变更和/或所述配置偏好。也就是说,UE请求的能力变更和/或配置偏好生效。
或者,在所述响应消息中携带所述重配置信息或所述响应消息为RRC重配置消息的情况下,所述UE基于所述重配置信息或所述RRC重配置消息执行重配置过程。
又或者,UE可以在接收到响应消息的情况下,所述UE请求的所述能力变更和/或所述配置偏好生效。即默认地,UE接收到网络的响应消息后,所述能力变更和/或配置偏好生效。
在一个可能的实现方式中,可以网络侧设备可以配置第一定时器,或者,协议约定第一定时器,UE监听所述网络侧设备发送的响应消息可以包括:在发送第一请求信息之后,所述UE开启第一定时器,其中,所述第一定时器的时长由所述第一配置信息配置,或者,所述第一定时器的时长为预先约定 的;在所述第一定时器的运行期间,所述UE监听所述网络侧设备发送的响应消息。也就是说,在该可能的实现方式中,UE在发送第一请求信息后的预定时间段内监听网络侧设备的响应。
在上述可能的实现方式中,UE开启第一定时器包括:在确定需要所述网络侧设备进行重配置的情况下,所述UE在发送第一请求信息之后,开启所述第一定时器。也就是说,UE发送的第一请求信息请求的能力变更和/或偏好配置需要网络侧设备进行重配置,则UE开启第一定时器监听网络侧设备的响应。
可选地,UE确定需要所述网络侧设备进行重配置可以包括以下至少一项:所述第一请求信息中包括重配置指示信息、所述第一请求信息中包括重配置指示信息且所述重配置指示信息指示需要网络侧设备重配置所述UE、UE请求能力变更、UE当前配置不满足UE请求的偏好配置。例如,UE能力变更后能力变小,但是当前的配置比UE能力变更后的能力大,因此需要网络侧设备重配置UE。
可选地,在所述第一定时器的运行期间,所述UE不允许再次发送所述第一请求信息;或者,在所述第一定时器的运行期间,所述UE不允许发送请求能力变更和/或配置偏好的第二请求信息,所述第二请求信息与所述第一请求信息不同。也就是说,在第一定时器运行期间,UE监听网络的响应消息,且在第一定时器运行期间,UE不可以再次发送相同的第一请求信息,或UE不可以发送请求能力变更和/或配置偏好的第二请求信息。
在一个可能的实现方式中,在开启所述第一定时器之后,所述方法还包括:在所述第一定时器的运行期间,所述UE在以下之一的情况下,停止所述第一定时器:
(1)接收到所述网络侧设备发送的所述响应消息;
(2)接收到所述网络侧设备发送的所述响应消息,且所述响应消息满足所述UE的配置偏好。例如,如果响应消息中包括重配置信息,则在重配置 信息满足UE的配置偏好的情况下,停止第一定时器。或者,如果响应消息为重配置消息,则在重配置消息满足UE的配置偏好的情况下,停止第一定时器。
也就是说,如果在第一定时器正在运行时,UE停止定时器的条件包括以下之一:
(1)UE接收到了网络的响应消息(例如,重配置消息),UE停止第一定时器。
(2)UE接收到了网络发送的重配置消息或重配置信息,且其满足UE的配置偏好,UE停止第一定时器。
在一个可能的实现方式中,所述UE基于所述网络侧设备的响应,执行相应的处理,还包括:在所述第一定时器超时的情况下,所述UE执行第一操作。例如,在第一定时器超时前,UE未接收到网络侧设备的响应消息,或者接收到的重配置消息或重配置信息不满足UE的配置偏好,则UE停止第一定时器。
可选的,所述第一操作包括但不限于以下至少一项:
(1)启用所述UE的偏好配置和/或能力变更;该偏好配置和/或能力变更可以是第一请求信息所请求的,也可能不是第一请求信息所请求的。
(2)启用所述第一请求信息对应的配置和/或能力;例如,第一请求信息所请求的偏好配置,或者第一请求信息所请求的能力变更,即变更后的能力。
(3)去激活辅小区组(SCG)连接。
(4)释放SCG连接;即UE在本地释放SCG连接。
(5)减少多输入多输出(MIMO)层数;例如,从4MIMO回退到2MIMO。
(6)减少下行载波(DL CA)的数目;例如,DL CA从6个载波聚合(CA)降低到5个CA。
(7)减少上行载波(UL CA)的数目。
(8)重发所述第一请求信息。
(9)执行网络转换操作。例如,从网络A转换到网络B。例如,UE基于网络转换的目的,向网络侧设备发送第一请求消息,在第一定时器超时时,UE未接收到网络侧设备的响应,则UE自动网络A转换到网络B。
上述可能的实现方式中,给出在UE为多卡目的在请求能力变更或配置偏好后,如果网络不响应或不满足UE的请求时,UE的处理方案,有效地完善了能力变更或配置协商,改善多卡UE网络转换的性能。
在一个可能的实现方式中,如果UE在第一定时器超时前,监听到网络侧设备发送的响应消息,则基于响应消息所述响应消息执行相应的处理,可选地,可以执行的处理包括以下之一:
(1)在所述响应消息满足所述UE的配置偏好的情况下,所述UE执行第二操作;
其中,上述的第二操作可以包括以下至少之一:
a)在所述第一定时器正在运行的情况下,所述UE停止所述第一定时器。
b)所述UE基于所述响应消息执行重配置过程;例如,基于响应消息中携带的重配置信息执行重配置过程,或者,基于接收到的重配置消息执行重配置过程。
c)所述UE在所述重配置过程结束后执行网络转换。
例如,UE在第一请求信息中请求去激活SCG,网络侧设备发送的重配置消息去激活SCG,则UE可以执行:如果第一定时器正在运行,UE停止第一定时器;UE执行重配置过程;在重配置过程结束后执行网络转换。
(2)在所述响应消息不满足所述UE的配置偏好的情况下,若所述第一定时器正在运行,则所述UE停止所述第一定时器,并执行第一操作;例如,响应消息中携带的重配置信息或者网络侧设备返回的重配置消息不满足UE的配置偏好,若第一定时器正在运行,则停止所述定时器,并执行上述的第一操作。
(3)在所述响应消息不满足所述UE的配置偏好的情况下,若所述第一定时器正在运行,则所述UE在所述第一定时器超时后执行第一操作。例如,响应消息中携带的重配置信息或者网络侧设备返回的重配置消息不满足UE的配置偏好,若第一定时器正在运行,UE并不停止所述定时器,而是待第一定时器超时后执行上述的第一操作。
上述(2)和(3)给出了在UE为多卡目的在请求能力变更和/或配置偏好后,如果网络不满足UE的请求,UE的处理方法,有效地完善了能力变更和/或配置协商的方案,改善多卡UE网络转换的性能。
在一个可能的实现方式中,网络侧设备还可以向UE发送第一配置信息,用于指示是否允许UE发送所述第一请求信息,即是否允许UE请求能力变更和/或配置偏好。因此,在S210之前,该方法还可以包括:接收所述网络侧设备发送的第一配置信息,其中,所述第一配置信息用于指示允许所述UE发送所述第一请求信息。UE在接收到该第一配置信息之后,在有能力变更和/或配置偏好的需求时,向网络侧设备发送所述第一请求信息。

(2)第一定时器的时长。或者,第一定时器的时长也可以为协议约定。在包括第一定时器的时长的情况下,第一配置信息中可以不包括第一指示信息,也就是说,第一配置信息中配置了第一定时器的时长,则默认网络侧设备支持终端的配置偏好和/或能力变更。
可选地,第一配置信息可以通过系统信息(SI)消息发送,也可以通过RRC重配置消息发送。例如,在RRC重配置消息的OtherConfig IE中携带该第一配置信息。
在本申请实施例中,提供了一种多卡UE能力变更和/或配置偏好的协商 方案,在UE为多卡任务而请求能力变更或配置偏好后,可以根据网络侧设备的响应,执行相应的处理。并提供了在网络不响应或不满足UE的请求的情况,UE的处理操作,有效地完善了能力变更或配置协商,改善多卡UE网络转换的性能。
