Technical Field

Background

With the development of communication technology, a mobile communication terminal receives a low power signal (low power signal) by introducing a low power wake-up receiver (low power wake up radio, LP-WUR), so that the main communication module is in a closed or ultra-deep sleep state, which can effectively reduce the power consumption of the terminal, and the low power signal can also be called as a low power wake-up signal (low power wake up signal, LP-WUS). Currently, paging is generally performed directly after an access network device receives a page for a terminal. Considering that the terminal may move in the state that the terminal or the Main receiver (Main Radio) of the terminal is in ultra-deep sleep (ultra-DEEP SLEEP), after receiving the LP-WUS, the terminal needs to perform cell selection or reselection to select a suitable cell for residence after opening the Main Radio, so that the terminal may not receive the paging sent by the access network device, thereby wasting the paging signaling of the access network device.

For ease of understanding, some of the following descriptions are directed to embodiments of the present application:

1. A low power consumption receiver.

The low power receiver may be referred to as an LP-WUR or near zero power receiver (almost zero power wake up radio, AQP-WUR). The basic working principle of the LP-WUR is that the receiving end includes a first module and a second module, where the first module is a main communication module and is used for receiving and transmitting mobile communication data, and the second module is a low-power consumption receiving module (also called a low-power consumption wake-up receiving module) and is used for receiving the wake-up signal, and specifically shown in fig. 2. The terminal starts a low power consumption receiving module to monitor the LP-WUS and closes the main communication module in the energy saving state. When downlink data arrives, the network side equipment sends a wake-up signal to the terminal, the terminal monitors the wake-up signal through the low-power consumption receiving module and then triggers the main communication module to turn on from off through a series of judgment, and the low-power consumption receiving module enters the off state from the working state at the moment. The low-power consumption wake-up receiving module can be continuously started or intermittently started, and can receive the low-power consumption wake-up signal when the low-power consumption wake-up receiving module is started.

2. A low power wake-up signal (low power wake up signal, LP-WUS).

In order to reduce the receiving activity of the terminal in the standby state, the Radio Frequency (RF) and baseband (MODEM) modules are actually turned off so as to greatly reduce the power consumption of communication reception, which can be achieved by introducing a near zero power receiver into the receiving module of the terminal. This near "zero" power receiver does not require complex RF module signal detection (e.g., amplification, filtering, quantization, etc.) and MODEM signal processing, but relies on passive matched filtering and less power consuming signal processing.

On the base station side, a wake-up signal is triggered on demand (on-demand), so that a near zero power receiver can be activated to acquire an activated notification, and a series of processes inside the terminal are triggered, for example, a radio frequency transceiver module, a baseband processing module and the like are opened.

Such wake-up signals are typically relatively simple on-off keying signals, which the receiver can learn about the wake-up notice by simple energy detection, and possibly subsequent sequence detection and identification. In addition, the main receiver module can be maintained to work at a lower power consumption level while the terminal turns on the low power consumption wake-up receiver to receive the wake-up signal, thereby achieving power consumption saving by receiving the wake-up signal.

The reception of the low power consumption wake-up signal may be applied to a terminal in a radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) idle/inactive (inactive) state, or may be applied to a terminal in an RRC connected state (rrc_connected), thereby realizing terminal energy saving.

In one embodiment, the wake-up signal is the wake-up signal received by the low power receiver, i.e. the low power wake-up signal.

3. The LP-WUS triggers a transition of the main radio of the terminal from DEEP SLEEP states to a micro sleep (or active) state.

The base station may not know whether the main radio of the terminal is in the idle/inactive state or the ultra-DEEP SLEEP state, and in order to avoid that the UE misses a page, the base station may send a paging physical downlink control channel (Physical Downlink Control Channel, PDCCH) on a paging opportunity (Paging Occasion, PO) of the terminal at the same time when receiving a page of the terminal sent by the core network (for a terminal in the idle or inactive state) or receiving a page of the terminal sent by another base station (for a terminal in the inactive state), and send an LP-WUS on a wake-up signal opportunity (wus_part) of the terminal, so that signaling overhead of the base station is great.

After the terminal receives the LP-WUS, and the LP-WUS instructs the terminal to wake up, that is, the terminal needs to recover from the intra-DEEP SLEEP state of main radio to the normal idle state or the inactive state (that is, to recover to the listening state or the micro sleep state), taking into account that the cell in which the terminal resides when receiving the LP-WUS and the cell in which the terminal returns to the idle/inactive state are not necessarily the same cell, the terminal needs to perform cell selection or reselection, and then perform time-frequency synchronization with the selected cell (perform cell selection or reselection and perform synchronization in the t1 period), then start listening to its own PO. For example, as shown in fig. 3 and fig. 4, in which cell 1 (cell#1) is a cell controlled by base station 1 (gNB 1), and cell#2 is a cell controlled by gNB 2. The core network or the anchor base station (anchor gNB, namely the base station which is connected to the terminal for the last time in the RRC_INACTIVE state) sends a paging message of the terminal at the time T0, after the paging message reaches gNB1, gNB1 determines whether to send the LP-WUS according to the paging message and the capability of the paging message or whether a cell controlled by the paging message supports the LP-WUS, if gNB1 sends the LP-WUS of the UE at the time T1, after the paging message reaches gNB2, gNB2 sends the LP-WUS of the UE at the time T1'. After the cell #1 receives the LP-WUS, the UE opens a main radio, enters an rrc_idle/rrc_inactive state, performs cell selection or reselects to the cell #2, and monitors paging at the PO #3 at time T2 because the time of arrival at the cell #2 has exceeded the nearest PO of the cell #2 after the UE wakes up. The problem is that the gNB #2 does not determine which PO should be sent with the paging after sending the LP-WUS, so it is possible to send the paging at the nearest PO location after its own estimated UE wake-up time, e.g. send the paging at PO #2, and according to the current network paging method, the gNB2 does not continue to send the paging at PO #3 after sending the paging, but waits for the paging retransmission of the core network or the anchor gNB, so that the UE misses the paging and the base station does not use the paging transmission.

Therefore, considering that the terminal or the Main receiver (Main Radio) of the terminal may move in an ultra-deep sleep (ultra-DEEP SLEEP) state, after the terminal receives the LP-WUS, after the Main Radio is turned on, the terminal needs to perform cell selection or reselect to select a suitable cell to camp on, so that the terminal may not receive the paging sent by the access network device, which results in paging failure and waste of paging signaling of the base station.

The paging processing method provided by the embodiment of the application is described in detail below through some embodiments and application scenarios thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 5, an embodiment of the present application provides a paging processing method, as shown in fig. 5, including:

step 501, a first access network device sends a wake-up signal to a terminal;

step 502, after the first access network device sends the wake-up signal, the first access network device sends at least one first page to the terminal;

The residence time delay of the terminal;

In the embodiment of the present application, the wake-up signal may be understood or replaced by a low-power wake-up signal. The ultra-deep sleep state is not an RRC state, and may be specifically understood as a very power saving state, and may be also understood as an off state. The normal reception state may be understood as a state in which the terminal may perform actions in rrc_idle/rrc_inactive, including actions of receiving paging, SSB-based cell selection or reselection-related measurement and evaluation, PLMN selection, receiving system information, and the like.

Alternatively, the above-mentioned terminal or the main receiver of the terminal may be understood or replaced by the terminal or the main receiver of the terminal exiting the ultra-deep sleep state when the main receiver of the terminal transitions from the ultra-deep sleep state to the normal receiving state.

Alternatively, the first start time is determined based on the transition delay, which may be understood as a time interval between the first start time and the transmission time of the wake-up signal or the end time of the transmission window of the wake-up signal comprising a delay length of the transition delay.

Optionally, the first start time is determined based on the residence time delay, which may be understood as that a time interval between the first start time and a transmission time of the wake-up signal or an end time of a transmission window of the wake-up signal includes a time delay length of the residence time delay, and the terminal residence time delay includes downlink synchronization between the terminal and the selected cell and/or reading a master information block MIB of the cell, and/or reading a system information block 1/SIB1 of the cell, and/or determining whether the cell is a suitable cell.

Alternatively, the first start time is determined based on the target delay, which may be understood as a time interval between the first start time and a transmission time of the wake-up signal or an end time of a transmission window of the wake-up signal comprising a delay length of the target delay.

Alternatively, the end time of the transmission window of the wake-up signal may be understood as the end time of the transmission window of the wake-up signal or as the time unit in which the end time of the transmission window of the wake-up signal is located. The determining of the first start time based on the end time of the transmission window of the wake-up signal may be understood as that the first start time is the end time of the transmission window of the wake-up signal or is a time located after the end time of the transmission window of the wake-up signal and spaced from the end time of the transmission window of the wake-up signal by a preset duration.

Alternatively, the transmission time of the wake-up signal may be understood as the end time of the transmission opportunity of the wake-up signal or the time unit in which the end time of the transmission opportunity is located. The determining of the first start time based on the transmission time of the wake-up signal may be understood that the first start time is the transmission time of the wake-up signal or is a time located after the transmission time of the wake-up signal and spaced from the transmission time of the wake-up signal by a preset duration.

Optionally, the preset duration may be determined based on at least one of a transition delay, a residence delay, and a target delay, and may be defined by a protocol or configured by a network, which is not further limited herein.

Further, the preset duration is a time offset value, where the time offset value may be determined by the first access network device or the core network device, or may be agreed by a protocol, and the time offset value is used to instruct the terminal to start monitoring the first paging after a certain time offset has elapsed after the terminal monitors WUS.

It should be appreciated that the transition delay, residence delay, target delay, end time of the transmission window of the wake-up signal, and transmission time of the wake-up signal are used to determine the approximate location of the first paging opportunity, and when the first paging is transmitted, the first start time needs to be further determined according to configuration information of the time domain location of the paging opportunity. That is, in some embodiments, the first start time may be determined based on at least one of a time domain location of the paging opportunity and a transition delay, a dwell delay, a target delay, an end time of a transmission window of the wake-up signal, or a transmission time of the wake-up signal.

In the embodiment of the application, a wake-up signal is sent to a terminal through first access network equipment, the first access network equipment sends at least one first paging to the terminal after sending the wake-up signal, wherein the starting time of the first paging or the starting time of a sending window of the first paging is a first starting time, and the first starting time is determined based on at least one of transition time delay of the terminal or a main receiver of the terminal from an ultra-deep sleep state to a normal receiving state, residence time delay of the terminal, target time delay used for representing time delay of cell selection or reselection after waking up the terminal, and ending time of the sending window of the wake-up signal or sending time of the wake-up signal. In this way, the first access network device sends at least one first paging to the terminal at the first starting time after sending the wake-up signal, so that the cost of paging signaling in the process that the terminal needs to perform cell selection or reselect a proper cell to reside after receiving the wake-up signal and opening the Main Radio can be reduced. The embodiment of the application reduces the paging signaling overhead of the access network equipment, and simultaneously, the time delay of the terminal for cell selection or reselection is considered when the first access network equipment sends the paging, so that the terminal can be ensured to receive the paging message, and the terminal is prevented from missing the paging.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the end time of the first page or the end time of the transmission window of the first page is a first end time, the first end time being determined based on at least one of:

A first paging opportunity for transmitting the first page after the first start time;

All cells in a target area are used for sending the latest paging opportunity in the paging opportunities of the first paging, and the target area is associated with the second paging received by the first access network equipment;

First information, wherein the first information comprises the number of times of repeatedly sending a first paging or the duration of repeatedly sending the first paging in a cell associated with the first access network device after receiving a second paging;

the sending time of the wake-up signal or the ending time of the sending window of the wake-up signal;

the second paging comprises core network paging sent by core network equipment aiming at the terminal or access network paging sent by second access network equipment aiming at the terminal.

Alternatively, the first ending time may be the ending time of the first paging opportunity or a time unit where the ending time of the first paging opportunity is located. The first ending time may also be a first time after the first paging opportunity, where the first time is spaced from the ending time of the first paging opportunity by a preset duration, or the first time is spaced from the ending time of the time unit where the ending time of the first paging opportunity is located by a preset duration.

Optionally, the first end time may be an end time of a latest paging opportunity of the paging opportunities for sending the first page by all cells in the target area or an end time of a time unit in which the latest paging opportunities of the paging opportunities for sending the first page by all cells in the target area are located. The first ending time may also be a second time after the latest paging opportunity in the paging opportunities for sending the first page in all cells in the target area, where the second time is preset time with an ending time interval of the latest paging opportunity in the paging opportunities for sending the first page in all cells in the target area, or the second time is preset time with an ending time interval of a time unit where the latest paging opportunity in the paging opportunities for sending the first page in all cells in the target area is located. In the embodiment of the application, the base station in the target area needs to know the paging configuration information of the cells controlled by other base stations in the target area, so that the latest paging opportunity in the paging opportunities for transmitting the first paging in all the cells in the target area can be determined.

Alternatively, the first ending time may be a time when the access network device starts to send the first page N times after the first starting time, or a time when a target duration is added after the first starting time. The target duration may be a duration of a time for which the access device continuously transmits the paging or a duration for which the terminal is required to continuously monitor the paging after receiving the LP-WUS signal.

Alternatively, the first end time may be a transmission opportunity of a wake-up signal or an end time of a transmission window of the wake-up signal plus a time offset value of a protocol convention or a network configuration.

Optionally, the target area may include at least one of an access network notification area (RAN-based Notification Area, RNA) area and a tracking (TRACKING AREA, TA) area.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the transmission time of the wake-up signal or the start time of the transmission window of the wake-up signal is a second start time, the second start time being determined based on at least one of:

the time when the first access network equipment receives the second paging;

the maximum value of the transmission delay between the access network devices in the target area;

The core network equipment in the target area sends the maximum value of the transmission delay of paging to the access network equipment;

downlink timing deviation between cells in a target area;

the target area is associated with a second page received by the first access network device, and the second page comprises a core network page sent by the core network device for the terminal or an access network page sent by the second access network device for the terminal.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the end time of the wake-up signal or the end time of the transmission window of the wake-up signal is a second end time, the second end time being determined based on at least one of:

Second information, wherein the second information comprises the number of times of repeatedly sending the wake-up signal or the duration of repeatedly sending the wake-up signal in a cell associated with the first access network device after receiving a second paging;

the first access network equipment determines a sending window of a wake-up signal;

the first access network device transmits the wake-up signal at least one transmission opportunity of a transmission window of the wake-up signal.

In the embodiment of the application, when the transmission window of the wake-up signal comprises a plurality of transmission occasions, the first access network device can transmit the wake-up signal on part or all of the transmission occasions, so that the terminal can be ensured to receive the wake-up signal, and meanwhile, for some cells, the transmission interval between the wake-up signal and paging is increased, so that the cell which transmits the wake-up signal at the latest in the target area can be considered, and further, the terminal can be ensured to receive the paging after receiving the wake-up signal.

Optionally, in some embodiments, before the first access network device sends the wake-up signal to the terminal, the method further includes:

The first access network equipment receives a second page, wherein the second page comprises a core network page sent by core network equipment aiming at the terminal or an access network page sent by second access network equipment aiming at the terminal;

wherein the second page is for indicating at least one of:

Whether the terminal supports a wake-up signal;

The switching time delay;

The residence time delay of the terminal;

the target time delay;

and third information, wherein the third information is used for indicating to monitor paging opportunities first after the terminal is awakened by the awakening signal, and then cell selection or reselection is performed.

In the embodiment of the application, whether the terminal supports the wake-up signal can be understood as whether the terminal or the main receiver of the terminal supports the ultra-deep sleep state, whether the terminal supports the low-power consumption state or whether the terminal is provided with the low-power consumption receiver, and whether the terminal or the main receiver of the terminal is in the ultra-deep sleep state.

Optionally, in some embodiments, when the first access network device does not indicate the third information, it may be understood that the first start time needs to consider the target delay, so that after the terminal is awakened by the wake-up signal, cell selection or reselection may be performed first, and then paging listening may be performed, and because the target delay is considered, the first access network device may defer sending the first paging, thereby ensuring that the terminal may avoid listening that misses on the first paging due to performing cell selection or reselection. When the first access network device indicates the third information, it is understood that the first start time does not need to consider the target delay. At this time, after the terminal is awakened by the awakening signal, the first access network device assumes that the current terminal does not move, the terminal can directly monitor the first paging, and the first access network device can reduce the interval of the transmission of the first paging relative to the awakening monitoring signal, so that the time delay of the terminal for monitoring the first paging can be reduced.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the wake-up signal is used to indicate at least one of:

second information, wherein the second information comprises the number of times that the first access network equipment repeatedly sends the wake-up signal or the duration time that the first access network equipment repeatedly sends the wake-up signal;

It should be noted that at least one of the second information and the third information may also be sent to the terminal by other specific information or broadcast signaling, or may be agreed by a protocol.

When the first paging is to be sent repeatedly, the first starting time may not consider the target delay. Optionally, in some embodiments, the terminal in rrc_idle or rrc_inactive state receives lp_wus configuration information, which may be any of the following:

Mode 1 lp_wus configuration information is configured for each cell (per cell), the lp_wus configuration information comprising configuration information of WUS of one cell or a plurality of cells;

Mode 2 lp_wus configuration information is per area (area) configured, the lp_wus configuration information being the same in the area, the area including the target area described above.

For mode 1, a cell needs to request lp_wus configuration information from other cells in the target area. The target region includes an RNA region, a TA region, and the like. For example, the lp_wus configuration information contains configuration information of cell#1 and cell#2, and then cell#1 needs to obtain the configuration information of cell#2.

For mode 1, the longest delay between lp_wus transmission occasions for terminals of the same terminal identification (ue_id) for all cells within the target area may also be Δt by a protocol convention or a network indication.

For a better understanding of the present application, the following description is given by way of some examples.

As shown in fig. 6 and 7, in some embodiments, cell #1 sends lp_wus twice at T1, T2, cell #2 sends lp_wus twice at T1', T2', and the second page arrives at cell #1 for time T0, and cell #2 for time T0', and the second information indicates that at least two repeated lp_wus transmissions are needed.

Optionally, if the cell #2 knows the lp_wus timing of the cell #1 and the delay Δt of the second page received by the cell #1, the delay Δt of the second page received by the cell #1 may be considered in determining the transmission window of the lp_wus, the starting position of the transmission window of the WUS determined by the cell #2 is shown in fig. 6, and if the delay Δt of the second page received by the cell #1 is not considered, the starting position of the transmission window of the WUS determined by the cell #2 is shown in fig. 7.

Optionally, after the cell #2 receives the second page at time T0', it determines that the transmission timing of the latest lp_wus of the cells in the target area, for example, the transmission timing of the lp_wus of the cell #1 is T2, then WUS may be transmitted all the time before T2, the cell #1 knows the WUS timing of the cell #2, but determines that the own lp_wus timing is latest, and thus also transmits the lp_wus before T2.

Optionally, the network side device may also calculate the latest sending opportunity of the lp_wus according to the paging opportunity of each cell and the delay of the terminal awakening, which requires the coordination of the two cells and the paging (coordinate Paging) opportunity, and does not need the opportunity of coordination of the lp_wus.

In the embodiment of the application, the base station monitors the PO before carrying out cell selection or reselection when indicating that the UE can wake up in the LP_WUS, and indicates the times M of repeatedly sending the LP_WUS by the base station or the duration T3 of sending the LP_WUS by the base station in the LP_WUS.

In some embodiments, the start time of the first paging transmission or the time of the first paging transmission is determined by the end time of the WUS transmission window or the time of the WUS transmission, the residence delay of the UE, the transition delay of the UE, and the target delay of the UE for cell reselection. As shown in fig. 8, a time interval between the time of the first paging transmission and the end time of the WUS transmission window or the transmission time of WUS includes a transition delay, a target delay, and a residence delay.

In some embodiments, when the first access network device repeatedly sends the first page in its associated cell multiple times after receiving the second page, the starting time of the first page may be the time when the base station wakes up the main receiver of the UE or the time when the main receiver of the UE exits the hypersomnia state after the WUS is sent, as shown in fig. 9.

Optionally, in some embodiments, determining whether the start time of the transmission window of the first page takes into account UE cell selection or reselection based on the indication information

If the base station receives the third information or protocol agrees that the UE can monitor the PO first when it wakes up, then at least one of cell selection or reselection and the base station determines that it is the last base station connected to the paged UE, the start time of the transmission window of the first page of the base station may be determined by one or more of:

An end time of the LP WUS transmission window, wherein the end time of the LP WUS transmission window may be determined by the second information;

Switching delay of the UE;

residence time delay of the UE;

and a time offset value, wherein the time offset value is used for indicating the terminal to start to monitor the first paging after a certain time offset is passed after the terminal monitors the LP_WUS.

The embodiment of the application considers that the most suitable cell after the main receiver of the UE wakes up is most likely to be the cell when entering the ultra-DEEP SLEEP state before, so that if the UE monitors 1 first paging on the original cell, the paging delay of the UE can be greatly reduced instead of carrying out cell selection or reselection first. Based on this, the base station does not consider the time delay caused by cell selection or reselection when sending the first page.

But the first page will also be sent by multiple base stations within the TA or RNA, it is also possible that the lp_wus matches this area, i.e. the lp_wus may also be sent by multiple base stations to support mobility. Then, the UE is not required to return to the original cell when the UE or the main receiver of the UE exits from the ultra-DEEP SLEEP state to return to the normal receiving state, but may return to any cell in the original TA or RNA, avoiding receiving the LP-WUS, but staying outside the area, so that the first paging is not received.

Considering the delay relation of the lp_wus and the PO, the UE should return to the cell transmitting the lp_wus as much as possible, that is, if the UE receives the lp_wus in cell #1, the UE still listens to the page in cell #1, and a suitable method is that the UE wakes up and then camps on the cell indicated by the lp_wus or the low power synchronization signal (low power wake up signal, LP-SS), that is, in some embodiments, the terminal may determine the target cell to camp on based on the cell information indicated by the lp_wus or the LP-SS, and then perform the first paging listening on the target cell.
