Description

Paging processing method, communication device and network side device

technical field

The present invention relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to a paging processing method, a communication device and a network side device.

Background technique

The network can send paging to terminals in idle state, inactive state and connected state. The paging process can be triggered by the core network to notify a terminal to receive a paging request; or triggered by the base station to notify system information update, As well as receiving information such as the commercial mobile alert system CMAS and the earthquake and tsunami early warning system ETWS through the terminal.

During a discontinuous reception (DRX) period, the terminal can first monitor the physical downlink control channel (Paging Occasion, PO) only at the paging time (Paging Occasion, PO) on the corresponding paging radio frame (Paging Frame, PF). Whether the Paging-Radio Network Tempory Identity (P-RNTI) is carried on the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), and then to determine whether the corresponding Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) has Carry paging messages.

In the prior art, there are not only single-card terminals, but also dual-card or multi-card terminals, which are collectively referred to as multi-card terminals. A feature of a multi-card terminal is that it can reside on multiple networks at the same time, but the implementation of the multi-card terminal is different, and some terminals can transmit and receive simultaneously on multiple networks without affecting each other.

However, there is also a multi-card terminal. Although the terminal can reside on multiple networks at the same time, it may reside on two networks in a time-division manner, that is, it resides on network A for a period of time to monitor the paging of network A, and a period of time. The time resides in Network B to listen to Network B's paging. Or connect to send and receive data on network A for a period of time, and receive paging on network B for a period of time. Or receive data on network A for a period of time, and establish a connection or send and receive data on network B for a period of time.

Currently based on multi-card terminals, if the terminal cannot receive data information from all networks at one moment, it needs to receive data between different networks in a time-division manner. When the times when the multi-card terminal receives the paging and the connection mode data partially overlap in time, the paging is lost on one card, or the data is interrupted.

As shown in FIG. 1 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a paging processing method, which is applied to a communication device, where the communication device includes at least one first user equipment UE in a connected state and at least one user equipment in an idle state or an inactive state. The second user equipment UE, the method includes:

Step 101, the first UE sends a first gap request message to the network side device;

Step 102: Receive a gap response message sent by the network side device, where the gap response message carries information about the target gap configured by the network side device for the first UE;

Step 103, the second UE receives a paging indication and/or a paging message in the target gap.

Wherein, the paging indication may be a control signal indicating paging, a wake up signal (Wake Up Signal) or other indication signals. The paging message is the paging related physical downlink control channel PDCCH and/or physical downlink shared channel PDSCH.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the communication device reports the first gap request message, negotiates with the network side device to allocate the target gap, and the communication device uses the target gap allocated by the network to time-division the reception of the connection status data of the first UE and to receive the second UE from the current network. paging.

Optionally, the first UE in the connected state acquires the paging reception mode of the second UE in the idle state or the inactive state. The time of the paging reception mode information of the second UE acquired by the first UE is converted into a first gap request message based on the air interface time of the first UE.

As an optional embodiment of the present invention, the first gap request message carries relevant information of at least one paging gap pattern, and the relevant information of the paging gap pattern is used for the second UE to receive paging.

Wherein, the relevant information of the paging gap pattern includes at least one of the following:

the priority of the paging gap pattern;

The relevant information of the paging indication of the second UE; the relevant information of the paging indication includes: the identity of the paging indication (used to indicate whether the paging indication is included), the receiving position of the paging indication, the time length of the paging indication, the paging indication at least one of the call cycles;

Relevant information of the paging message of the second UE; the relevant information of the paging message includes: at least one of a paging cycle, a receiving location of the paging message, and a receiving duration of the paging message;

The configuration information of the discontinuous reception DRX of the second UE;

The length of preparation time for paging reception, that is, the length of preparation time required by the communication device for paging reception; for example, for radio frequency adjustment, establishing/restoring downlink synchronization with the cell where the second UE is located, etc.;

The period of the paging gap, which is used to indicate whether the paging gap pattern is one-time or periodic, and the length of the period;

The system frame number time difference between the serving cell of the first UE and the serving cell of the second UE.

The periodic paging gap pattern indicates that the paging gap pattern covers periodic paging indications and/or paging message reception; the one-time paging gap pattern indicates that the paging gap pattern covers a single paging indication and/or paging message reception.

For example, a paging gap pattern contains any of the following combinations:

Paging indication reception + paging message reception + paging reception preparation time;

Paging indication + preparation time for paging reception;

Paging message + preparation time for paging reception;

paging indication;

paging message.

For example, the first gap request message may only carry relevant information of one paging gap pattern expected by the communication device, or may carry relevant information of multiple paging gap patterns expected by the communication device. For example, when paging indication is supported, the paging gap pattern with the highest priority includes the reception of paging indication, the reception of paging message, and the preparation time for paging reception; the paging gap pattern with slightly lower priority includes paging indication reception and preparation time for paging reception, or, a paging gap pattern with a slightly lower priority includes the reception of paging messages and preparation time for paging reception.

For another example, the network configures the paging mode based on information such as the time position, length and period of the paging indication + paging message, and the allocated target gap optionally covers the paging indication and/or the paging message.

In the above embodiment of the present invention, after step 103, the method further includes:

Wherein, the preset condition includes at least one of the following:

the target gap cannot meet the paging requirement of the second UE;

The paging location of the second UE changes; for example, network system frame number adjustment, cell reselection, cell search, etc.;

The paging indication capability of the second UE changes, for example, a network that supports paging indication is reselected to a network that does not support paging indication, and the terminal decides not to receive a paging indication.

If the communication device cannot negotiate a paging gap that meets the paging requirement of the second UE, that is, when the target gap does not cover the paging indication or the paging message, the second UE can optionally receive the paging indication normally. If the paging indication is true, the second UE continues to receive paging messages.

It should be noted that, the second gap request message and the first gap request message are sent in the same manner, and the description is not repeated here. The content carried by the second gap request message and the content carried by the first gap request message may be completely the same, or may be partially the same. For example, the related information of the paging gap pattern included in the first gap request message includes: related information of the paging indication of the second UE, related information of the paging message of the second UE, and preparation time length for paging reception; The related information of the paging gap pattern included in the gap request message may be the same as that of the first gap request message, or may be: related information of the paging indication of the second UE and related information of the paging message of the second UE.

Optionally, if the second UE stops receiving paging (eg, the second UE turns off, pulls out the card, enters the airplane mode, etc.), the first UE may request to stop the allocated gap mode.

Optionally, in the above embodiment of the present invention, step 103 includes:

If the target paging gap covers the paging indication and the paging message, the second UE receives the paging indication within the target gap, if the paging indication is true (ie the paging indication instructs the second UE to receive the paging message) , the second UE receives the paging message within the target gap;

or,

If the target paging gap covers the paging indication, the second UE receives the paging indication within the target gap, and if the paging indication is true (that is, the paging indication instructs the second UE to receive the paging message), the the second UE receives the paging message;

or,

If the target paging gap covers the paging message, the second UE receives the paging message within the target paging gap.

It should be noted that, if the first UE ignores the remaining part of the target gap after the second UE finishes receiving the paging indication and/or paging message, the communication device returns to the network where the first UE is located to continue data transmission.

To sum up, the embodiment of the present invention implements the gap mode negotiation in the connected state through the gap request of the first UE, and the second UE receives the paging indication and/or the paging message in the target gap configured by the network side device, which can reduce the number of Abnormal interruption of connection state data transmission and avoid loss of paging.

As shown in FIG. 2 , an embodiment of the present invention further provides a paging processing method, which is applied to a network side device, and the method includes:

Step 201, receiving a first gap request message sent by a first UE of a communication device;

Step 202: Configure a target gap for the first UE according to the first gap request message, and send a gap response message to the communication device, where the gap response message carries the information of the target gap; The second UE of the communication device in the target gap receives a paging indication and/or a paging message.

Wherein, the paging indication may be a control signal indicating paging, a wake up signal (Wake Up Signal) or other indication signals. The paging message is the paging related physical downlink control channel PDCCH and/or physical downlink shared channel PDSCH.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the communication device reports the first gap request message, negotiates with the network side device to allocate the target gap, and the communication device uses the target gap allocated by the network to time-division the reception of the connection status data of the first UE and to receive the second UE from the current network. paging.

As an optional embodiment of the present invention, the first gap request message carries relevant information of at least one paging gap pattern, and the relevant information of the paging gap pattern is used for the second UE to receive paging.

paging indication;

paging message.

For example, the first gap request message may only carry relevant information of one paging gap pattern expected by the communication device, or may carry relevant information of multiple paging gap patterns expected by the communication device. For example, when paging indication is supported, the paging gap pattern with the highest priority includes the reception of paging indication, the reception of paging message, and the preparation time for paging reception; the paging gap pattern with slightly lower priority includes paging indication reception and preparation time for paging reception, or, a paging gap pattern with a slightly lower priority includes the reception of paging messages and preparation time for paging reception.

To sum up, the embodiment of the present invention implements the gap mode negotiation in the connected state through the gap request of the first UE, and the second UE receives the paging indication and/or the paging message in the target gap configured by the network side device, which can reduce the number of Abnormal interruption of connection state data transmission and avoid loss of paging.

In order to describe the paging processing method provided by the embodiments of the present invention more clearly, the following description is given with reference to several examples.

Example 1

1. The second UE is in an idle state and receives a paging indication and/or a paging message;

2. The first UE prepares to enter the connected state to perform data transmission.

The first UE acquires the data received by the paging of the second UE, converts it into a first gap request message based on the air interface time of the first UE, and reports it to the network. In gap mode, the time period during which UE1 may leave the serving cell (not receive in the serving cell) is indicated.

The first gap request message received based on the paging of the paging indication includes one or more of the following:

paging indicator;

paging cycle;

The receiving location and duration of the paging indication;

The receiving location and duration of the paging message;

The preparation time for receiving a paging indication and/or a paging message, including the time required for preparations such as radio frequency adjustment, network synchronization, and measurement.

3. The network configures the gap pattern for the first UE.

The target gap in the gap pattern includes but is not limited to types such as CDRX gap or measurement gap, during which the first UE can leave the network and the second UE can perform paging reception during this period. The target gap (Gap) optionally covers the paging indication and/or the paging message, as shown in Figure 3:

Gap1 corresponds to the position of the second UE paging indication and the reception preparation time, and repeats periodically.

Gap3 corresponds to the position of the second UE paging message, and repeats periodically.

Gap2 corresponds to the time interval between the paging indication and the paging message of the second UE, and is optionally used for data transmission or other data reception such as measurement tasks of the first UE; or data reception such as measurement of the second UE.

4. The second UE performs the reception of the paging indication and/or the paging message using the target gap time of the first UE.

When the target gap covers the paging indication and the paging message, the second UE receives the paging indication during the target gap. If the paging indication is true, then continue to receive paging messages. If the paging indication is false, the terminal can use the remaining time slot to perform other tasks of the second UE, such as measurement, etc., or return to the network where the first UE is located in advance.

The first UE returns to the network where the first UE is located in advance, and sends uplink signals, such as uplink scheduling request SR, random access request RACH, etc., during the remaining gap to resume data transmission.

It should be noted that there are multiple interaction modes for the request and configuration of the gap mode:

a) Three-interaction reporting mode

1: The communication device requests to report the gap mode; for example, in the completion of RRC connection establishment or the completion of RRC recovery or other uplink messages, 1 bit is carried to inform the network terminal that a paging gap is required.

2: The network side device sends a message, instructing the communication device to report the gap mode;

3: The communication device reports in the gap mode. If reported in UE assistance information, the information of one or more gap patterns optionally includes a priority.

b) Reporting mode for two interactions

1: The network side device sends a configuration message to allow the communication device to report the gap mode;

2: The communication device reports in the gap mode. If reported in UE assistance information, the information of one or more gap patterns optionally includes a priority.

Example 2

1. The first UE is in the connected state, and the second UE receives paging.

2. The first UE determines the first gap request message. The first gap request message carries one or more gap patterns. Optionally, the first UE indicates the relative priority of each gap pattern.

For example, an optimal high-priority mode covers the current demand for paging reception based on paging indication, such as the time information of "preparation time for paging reception + paging indication + paging message", which is repeated periodically.

3. The first UE reports the first gap request message.

4. After the network allocates the gap mode, it initiates gap mode negotiation according to the periodic paging reception requirement.

If the target gap does not cover the expected time period such as paging indication and/or paging message, the first UE may report one or more suboptimal gap patterns, and then initiate gap pattern negotiation.

A suboptimal gap pattern may meet the requirements for paging reception based in part on paging indications, including but not limited to:

The time information of "paging reception preparation time + paging indication" is repeated periodically;

The time information of "paging reception preparation time + paging message" is repeated periodically.

5. After the network allocates the gap pattern, the first UE initiates a one-time gap pattern request according to the paging reception requirement.

The network allocates a periodic paging pattern based on paging indication, that is, the time covering "paging reception preparation time + paging indication". If the terminal receives the paging indication as true, the terminal optionally initiates a one-time gap mode request to receive the paging message. Time information of "paging reception preparation time + paging message", one-time;

The terminal may request a one-time paging mode in a leave message (Leave notification), which corresponds to the receiving time of the paging message.

Example three

1. The first UE is in the connected state, and the second UE receives paging. The first UE has established a connection with the network.

2. When the moment when the second UE monitors the paging changes (eg, cell reselection occurs), the first UE needs to trigger a gap pattern update request.

3. When the second UE performs cell search or reselection, and the network paging indication capability is changed, determine the optimal gap pattern.

In a network supporting the paging indication capability, the terminal determines that the optimal gap pattern is:

The time information of "paging reception preparation time + paging indication + paging message" is repeated periodically.

In a network that does not support the paging indication capability, the terminal determines that the optimal gap pattern is:

The time information of "paging reception preparation time + paging message" is repeated periodically.

4. When the second UE does not receive paging, such as when the second UE is powered off, pulls out the card, enters the airplane mode, etc., the terminal requests to release the gap mode.

5. The first UE negotiates a gap mode change with the network. A terminal may request a gap pattern change in the following signaling:

a) UE Assistance Information

b) Leave notification.
