detailed description

The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

The technical problem to be solved in this embodiment is how to determine the paging DRX cycle in the light connection mode.

For this problem, a paging DRX cycle of the UE level can be defined. For convenience of description, the newly defined paging DRX cycle can be referred to as a first paging cycle, that is, the terminal device prefers paging DRX cycle-UE preferred paging DRX. . For the UE preferred paging DRX, that is, the preferred paging DRX of the UE, it may be determined by the UE itself, the evolved Node B (eNB) (which may be referred to as a base station in the present solution), or the UE negotiates with the eNB to determine three schemes. :

Solution 1, the UE reports a UE preferred paging discontinuous reception (DRX, Discontinouns Reception) period.

The UE selects an appropriate paging DRX cycle according to its mobility, quality of service (QoS), service type, and the like, and sends the UE to the eNB in the connected state, and the eNB saves the UE preferred paging DRX reported by the UE, so as to enter the light Use after connecting mode.

In an embodiment, the UE reports the UE preferred paging DRX period, and the eNB may send a request to request the UE to report or the UE reports the autonomously.

The mobility, QoS, and service type of the terminal can be regarded as the characteristic parameters of the terminal.

Solution 2: The eNB selects a UE preferred paging DRX cycle. The eNB may select an appropriate UE preferred paging DRX period for the UE according to the mobility of the current UE, the QoS, the service type of the UE, and the like, and then send the UE to the UE through an RRC message. After receiving the UE preferred paging DRX period, the UE saves it for use in the light connection mode.

Solution 3: The UE and the eNB negotiate a UE preferred paging DRX cycle. The UE selects a paging DRX cycle according to its mobility, QoS, and service type, and reports the RRC message to the eNB. The eNB can make some adjustments according to the UE's reporting, and then send the adjusted paging DRX cycle to the UE.

After the UE enters the light connection mode, when the RAN-based paging is triggered, the UE preferred paging DRX may be adopted for the DRX cycle of the RAN paging, or the UE preferred paging DRX or the UE specific paging DRX (UE special or dedicated search) may be adopted. Call DRX cycle) (if high-level configuration) and the minimum value of the default paging DRX cycle.

In the above three schemes, in the light connection mode, the paging DRX cycle is determined according to characteristic parameters such as mobility, QoS, and service type of the terminal device. It can be seen that the paging DRX cycle determining method provided by the solution takes into consideration the characteristics of the terminal device, and provides a more suitable paging DRX cycle of each terminal device for the terminal device.

The following three processing schemes are respectively described in detail:

Embodiment 1

This embodiment provides a method for determining a paging cycle, which is applied to a terminal device, as shown in FIG. 1, and includes:

Step 101: The terminal device determines a first paging cycle based on its own characteristic parameter.

Step 102: Send the first paging cycle to the base station side, so that the base station side determines, according to the first paging cycle, a paging cycle for paging in the preset mode by the terminal device.

Step 103: The terminal device enters a preset mode, and detects paging information sent by the base station according to a period of monitoring a paging. The period of the monitoring paging is a monitoring determined based on at least the first paging cycle. a period of paging, the preset mode characterizing a state in which the terminal device does not maintain a connection with the base station side, and the base station side can perform paging for the terminal device.

Here, the terminal device may be a user equipment (UE); wherein the feature parameters of the terminal device may include at least one of mobility, QoS, and service type of the terminal device.

The method for determining the first paging cycle of the terminal device based on the foregoing feature parameter may be: determining a first paging cycle based on a preset list; and including, in the preset list, different feature parameters The preset values of different paging cycles can be determined based on the comparison of the feature parameters to determine the first paging cycle to be used by the terminal device. The solution takes into account the characteristics of the terminal device and provides a more suitable paging DRX cycle for each terminal device for the terminal device.

The sending the first paging cycle to the base station side includes: sending the first paging cycle to the base station side by using an uplink radio resource control protocol (RRC) message. That is, the selected UE preferred paging DRX cycle is sent to the eNB by the uplink RRC message; in one embodiment, the UE may send the UE preferred paging DRX cycle to the UE using the original RRC message or using a new RRC message. eNB.

Step 25: After the UE enters the light connection mode, the UE may use the UE preferred paging DRX cycle reported, or use the reported UE preferred paging DRX cycle, the UE specific paging DRX (if high layer configuration), and the default paging DRX minimum value to monitor. Paging.

Different from the above scenario, the embodiment provides a method actively acquired by the base station side on the basis of the foregoing:

The method further includes: receiving the request information sent by the base station to report the first paging cycle, before the determining, by the terminal device, the first paging cycle. In an embodiment, the eNB may instruct the UE to report the UE preferred paging DRX by using an RRC message before instructing the UE to enter the light connection mode or entering the light connection mode.

In an embodiment, if the UE is instructed to report the UE through the RRC message when the UE is in the light connection mode, and the eNB indicates that the UE enters the light connection mode by using the RRC message, the UE may be instructed to report the UE, and the UE is reconfigured in the RRC connection.

That is, before step 21 of FIG. 2, the scenario is as shown in FIG. 3, and step 30 is added: the eNB sends a request message to the UE, and requests the UE to report the UE preferred paging DRX cycle.

It can be seen that by adopting the foregoing solution, the UE preferred paging DRX cycle can be selected for the UE according to the UE mobility, the service type of the UE, or the QoS. When entering the light connection mode and initiating RAN-based paging, a paging DRX cycle more suitable for the UE may be employed.

Step 43: After receiving the preferred paging DRX period selected by the UE, the eNB may perform corresponding adjustments.

Step 44: The eNB sends the adjusted UE preferred paging DRX period to the UE by using an original RRC message or a new RRC message.
