The present application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201 810 136 888, filed on Jun.

Technical field

The present disclosure relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a wake-up area determining method, a network device, and a user terminal.

Background technique

With the development of wireless communication systems, terminal types and service types are diversified, and terminals save power, save network resources, and meet the needs of various service types. Therefore, a wakeup signal is introduced, and the amount of power consumed by the wakeup signal is lower than that of the communication module. The terminal monitors the wakeup signal and then starts the communication module when receiving its own wakeup signal. Receiving paging messages ensures that the terminal saves power and services are reachable.

The wakeup signal enters a very low-power sleep state when the terminal is in an idle state. When the downlink data is sent to the terminal on the network side, the wakeup signal is sent to the terminal, and the terminal wakes up after receiving the wakeup signal. Data is sent and received with the network side. When the data is sent and received, the terminal enters the sleep state of extremely low power again. However, the related art does not limit the area in which the network side sends the wakeup signal, which causes an increase in processing complexity or an increase in signaling overhead.

Detailed ways

The technical problems, the technical solutions, and the advantages of the present invention will be more clearly described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

The present disclosure is directed to the related art terminal wake-up process, the use of the wakeup signal without the area limitation causes an increase in the complexity of the processing process, and provides a wake-up area determining method, by determining the wake-up area configured by the network device as the user terminal, The scope of the wake-up terminal on the network side is reduced, the complexity of the processing process is reduced, and the signaling overhead is reduced.

As shown in FIG. 1 , a method for determining a wake-up area according to some embodiments of the present disclosure includes:

Step 101: Receive wake-up area configuration signaling sent by a network device.

Step 102: Determine, according to the wake-up area configuration signaling, a first wake-up area configured by the network device as a user terminal.

In this way, when the network device is configured to allocate at least one cell as the awake area to the user terminal, and the user terminal is notified by sending the awake area configuration signaling, the user terminal first receives the network device by using step 101 and step 102. The wake-up area configuration signaling is further determined according to the received wake-up area configuration signaling, and the wake-up area allocated by the network device for the user terminal, that is, the first wake-up area is further determined. Based on the wake-up process of the first wake-up area, since the wake-up area of the user terminal is defined, the purpose of reducing the range of the wake-up terminal on the network side can be achieved, and the wake-up process is simplified.

Specifically, in this embodiment, when the network device configures the first awake area for the user terminal, the corresponding user terminal records the awake area (the configured first awake area) to which the user terminal belongs, so in the subsequent process, the network device is The wake-up signal may be sent in the awake area to which the recorded user terminal belongs to wake up the user terminal, and the range of the network-side awake terminal is reduced. In addition, to ensure wake-up of the user terminal, if the wake-up of the first wake-up area fails, the wake-up signal is sent in a larger wake-up area to wake up the user terminal; or the paging signal is sent in the paging range of the RAN side, Calling the user terminal; or sending a paging signal to page the user terminal within a paging range determined by the core network.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, optionally, the wake-up area configuration signaling includes: an area identifier of the first wake-up area, an identity of the user terminal, a wake-up signal monitoring start identifier, and a wake-up signal monitoring start time. And at least one of the wake-up area update periods.

Here, the area identifier of the first awake area is used by the user terminal to determine the first awake area configured by the network device, and when there are multiple first awake areas (ie, the network device configures multiple awake areas for the user terminal) The corresponding multiple area identifiers will be recorded in the wake-up area configuration signaling in the form of a list of area identifiers. The identity of the user terminal is used by the network device to search for the stored terminal context (the configured wake-up area) corresponding to the user terminal according to the identity identifier when the subsequent user terminal interacts with the network device. The wake-up signal monitoring start identifier is used to indicate that the user terminal enters the monitor wake-up signal mode. The wake-up signal monitoring start time is used to indicate how long the user terminal enters the monitor wake-up signal mode after receiving the wake-up area configuration signaling. The wake-up area update period is used to indicate that the user terminal requests an update period of the wake-up area in order to maintain the validity of the wake-up area. Certainly, the specific information included in the awake area configuration signaling is not limited to the foregoing content, and may include cell information corresponding to the first awake area, and is not enumerated here.

Specifically, step 102 includes:

Determining, according to the area identifier in the wake-up area configuration signaling, that the target wake-up area corresponding to the area identifier is the first wake-up area; or

And determining, according to the target cell that sends the awake area configuration signaling, that the target cell or the awake area to which the target cell belongs is the first awake area.

Here, after the user terminal receives the wake-up area configuration signaling, on the one hand, the area identifier in the wake-up area configuration signaling may be used to determine that the target wake-up area corresponding to the area identifier is the first wake-up area; In the aspect, if the area identifier is not included in the wake-up area configuration signaling, the first wake-up area may be determined by the implicit notification manner of the wake-up area configuration signaling: the target cell that sends the wake-up area configuration signaling is determined as The first wake-up area or the wake-up area to which the target cell that sends the wake-up area configuration signaling belongs is determined as the first wake-up area.

For example, the network device shown in FIG. 2 is configured as the wake-up area A and the wake-up area B according to the wake-up area stored by itself, wherein the wake-up area A includes the cell 1 and the cell 2, and the wake-up area B includes the cell 3 and the cell 4, and the A and B is the area identifier of the wake-up area. After the network device allocates the awake area A (the first awake area) to the idle state user terminal C, the cell 1 sends the awake area configuration signaling to the user terminal. The user terminal can configure the area identifier A in the signaling by the wake-up area according to the received wake-up area configuration signaling, and determine that the first wake-up area allocated by the network device is the wake-up area A. Certainly, the cell 1 that sends the wake-up area configuration signaling can also determine that the cell 1 is the first wake-up area, or determine that the wake-up area A to which the cell 1 belongs is the first wake-up area. If the network device allocates the cell 1 as the first awake area to the idle state user terminal C, and sets the area identifier to D, the user terminal determines the configured first awake area according to the area identifier D in the awake area configuration signaling. It is also possible to determine that the cell 1 is the first wake-up area by transmitting the cell 1 of the wake-up area configuration signaling.

It should be noted that, due to the mobility of the user terminal, the configured wake-up area has a problem that is not applicable. Therefore, based on the foregoing embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the method further includes:

Step 103: Send a wakeup area update request to the network device according to the wakeup area configuration signaling.

Step 104: Receive a first wake-up area and/or configuration information that is updated by the network device according to the wake-up area update request.

According to step 103 and step 104, after receiving the wake-up area configuration signaling, the user terminal also sends a wake-up area update request to the network device, and after the network device adjusts the first wake-up area and/or configuration information according to the wake-up area update request, Receiving the updated first wake-up area and/or configuration information sent by the network device, completing a better indication to the user terminal. Optionally, the network device sends the updated first wake-up area and/or configuration information by responding to the wake-up area update request corresponding to the wake-up area update request.

The wakeup area update request includes at least one of an identity identifier of the user terminal, a historical wakeup zone, an update cause, a current mobility state, and a camped cell.

Here, the identity of the user terminal and the identity of the user terminal in the wake-up area configuration signaling are also used by the network device to search for the stored terminal context (the configured wake-up area) corresponding to the user terminal according to the identity identifier. The historical wake-up area refers to the wake-up area of the wake-up signal that is monitored last time or N times, and is used to assist the network side to determine the motion track of the user terminal, and allocate a suitable wake-up area for the user terminal, for example, the user terminal listens twice before. The wake-up area to the wake-up signal is the wake-up area 1 and the wake-up area 2, respectively, the user terminal can report the wake-up area 1 and the wake-up area 2 identifier to the network device, and the auxiliary network device updates the appropriate wake-up area to the UE to avoid the network device. If the awake area is too large or too small, the area that wakes up the UE on the network side becomes larger; if the awake area is too small, it will cause frequent wake-up area update. The reason for the update is used to explain the triggering cause of the wakeup area update request, such as updating the wakeup area. Further, the wakeup area may be updated periodically, and the auxiliary network device determines whether to accept the request, and whether to re-enter the user terminal to listen. Wake up signal mode. The current mobile state is used to assist the network device to determine the motion trajectory of the user terminal, and the auxiliary network device allocates a suitable awake area to the user terminal, for example, the user terminal directly reports the high, medium, and low mobile states to the network side. The camped cell is also used to assist the network device to determine the motion trajectory of the user terminal, and the auxiliary network device allocates a suitable awake area to the user terminal, for example, the user terminal reports the experienced cell identity and the dwell time, and is used for The network device more accurately determines the mobile state of the UE. Of course, the wake-up area update request in some embodiments of the present disclosure is not limited to the above content, and will not be enumerated here.

It should also be noted that the message for sending the wake-up area update request may be a RACH (Random Access Channel) message or an RRC (Radio Resource Control) message. Let me repeat.

However, for the wake-up area configuration signaling sent by the network device, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, step 103 includes:

And sending a wakeup area update request to the network device periodically based on the wakeup area update period in the wakeup area configuration signaling.

Here, after receiving the wake-up area configuration signaling, the user terminal may periodically send the wake-up area update request to the network device according to the wake-up area update period, so as to ensure the applicability of the wake-up area and the user terminal.

It is assumed that the user terminal C receives the wake-up area configuration signaling, determines that the first wake-up area is the wake-up area A, enters the listening wake-up signal mode, and wakes up the area update timer T that is enabled by the wake-up area update period in the wake-up area configuration signaling ( T is the network device configuration setting, or a predetermined duration). As shown in FIG. 4, after T times out, the user terminal C sends a wakeup area update request to the network device, where the wakeup area update request includes: the identity identifier UE1 of the user terminal C, the historical wakeup area, the update reason, the current mobile state, and At least one of the camped cells. After receiving the wake-up area update request, the network device knows whether to instruct the user terminal C to enter the monitoring wake-up signal mode, and whether to allocate the wake-up area to which the terminal belongs to the user terminal C, in combination with the auxiliary information and the terminal context of the UE1 stored by the network device. The first updated wake-up area and/or configuration information is obtained, and the user terminal C is notified by the wake-up area update response. The user terminal C further performs related operations according to the updated first wake-up area and/or configuration information. For example, if the network device configures the user terminal C to enter the normal working mode, the user terminal C leaves the monitoring wake-up signal mode and enters the normal working mode state ( If the network device configures the user terminal C to carry the updated wake-up area to the monitor wake-up signal mode, the user terminal C updates the configured wake-up area to re-enter the monitor wake-up signal mode. In the scenario where the timer T needs to stop running and reset to 0 (for example, when the user terminal C moves to a cell that does not belong to the allocated wake-up area, it interacts with the network side; or the user terminal C receives the wake-up signaling, Wake-up; or user terminal C establishes a connection with the network device because there is data to be sent, and then restarts T according to the configuration when receiving network-side signaling (such as re-entering the wake-up area). In addition, if the user terminal does not successfully send the wake-up area update request, or does not receive the relevant response of the network device, the user terminal does not enter the listening wake-up signal mode, but enters the normal mode (such as normal receiving paging, normal receiving). Send data, etc.).

In addition, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, when the network device selects at least one cell as a wake-up signal to transmit a cell according to its own pre-stored policy, the area identifier for broadcasting the wake-up signal is broadcasted. Therefore, the method further includes:

Acquiring an area identifier that is broadcast by the network device in the second wake-up area, where the area identifier is an area identifier of the second wake-up area.

Here, the user terminal can obtain the area identifier of the second wake-up area, which is the wake-up area of the network device, and the first wake-up area allocated by the network device to complete the wake-up signal. Judging, performing subsequent wake-up processing.

Specifically, the step of acquiring the area identifier that is broadcast by the network device in the second wake-up area includes:

And acquiring an area identifier in the wake-up signal by receiving a wake-up signal sent in the second wake-up area.

In this way, after the user terminal enters the monitoring wake-up signal mode, the area identifier of the second wake-up area can be further acquired when receiving the wake-up signal, to determine the wake-up area corresponding to the received wake-up signal, and the current determination will be more accurately determined. Whether the received wake-up signal is valid.

Correspondingly, step 103 includes:

And determining, according to the acquired area identifier of the second wake-up area, that the first wake-up area does not belong to the second wake-up area, sending a wake-up area update request to the network device.

Here, the obtained area identifier of the second awake area is compared with the area identifier of the first awake area, and when the first awake area does not belong to the second awake area, the network device is currently configured for the user terminal. If the first wake-up area is not applicable, the wake-up area update request network device is sent.

It is assumed that the user terminal C receives the wake-up area configuration signaling, determines that the first wake-up area is the wake-up area A and the wake-up area B, and enters the listening wake-up signal mode. As shown in FIG. 5, the user terminal C enters a certain cell, reads the wake-up signal of the cell, and obtains the wake-up area to which the cell belongs as the wake-up area E. The wakeup area E is not in the first wakeup area {awake area A and wakeup area B} in which the user terminal C is configured. Therefore, the user terminal sends a wakeup area update request to the network device, where the wakeup area update request includes: at least one of the identity identifier UE1 of the user terminal C1, the historical wakeup area, the update reason, the current mobility state, and the camped cell. . After receiving the wake-up area update request, the network device knows whether to instruct the user terminal C to enter the monitoring wake-up signal mode, and whether to allocate the wake-up area to which the terminal belongs to the user terminal C, in combination with the auxiliary information and the terminal context of the UE1 stored by the network device. And obtaining the corresponding updated first wake-up area and/or configuration information, and notifying the user terminal C. The user terminal C further performs related operations according to the updated first wake-up area and/or configuration information. For example, if the network device configures the user terminal C to enter the normal working mode, the user terminal C leaves the monitoring wake-up signal mode and enters the normal working mode state ( If the network device configures the user terminal C to carry the updated wake-up area to the monitor wake-up signal mode, the user terminal C updates the configured wake-up area to re-enter the monitor wake-up signal mode. If the wake-up area update period is included in the previously received wake-up area configuration signaling, the wake-up area update timer T is started when entering the monitor wake-up signal mode, and stops after receiving the wake-up area update response of the network device. In addition, if the user terminal does not successfully send the wake-up area update request, or does not receive the wake-up area update response of the network device, the user terminal no longer enters the listening wake-up signal mode, but enters the normal mode (such as normal receiving paging, normal). Receive and send data, etc.).

In this embodiment, optionally, the area identifier is a cell identifier, a radio access network paging area identifier, a tracking area identifier, or a public land mobile network identifier.

By using the cell identity, a unique identifier in the paging area RAN of a radio access network, a unique identifier within a TA (tracking area), or an identifier within the scope of a PLMN (public land mobile network) The area identifier can uniquely identify the corresponding wake-up area to distinguish the divided wake-up areas.

In summary, the method for determining a wake-up area according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is to allocate at least one cell as a wake-up area to a user terminal in which the network device is in an idle state, and notify the user terminal by sending wake-up area configuration signaling, where the user terminal First, the wake-up area configuration signaling sent by the network device is received, and the wake-up area allocated to the user equipment, that is, the first wake-up area, is further determined according to the received wake-up area configuration signaling. Based on the wake-up process of the wake-up area, since the wake-up area of the user terminal is defined, the purpose of reducing the range of the wake-up terminal on the network side can be achieved, the wake-up process is simplified, and the signaling overhead is reduced.

As shown in FIG. 6, some embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a wake-up area determining method, including:

Step 601: Send wake-up area configuration signaling to the user terminal, and notify the first wake-up area that the user terminal has configured.

In this way, some embodiments of the present disclosure are applied to a method for determining a wake-up area of a network device. After allocating at least one cell as an awake area for a user terminal in an idle state, the user terminal is notified by sending a wake-up area configuration signaling to the user terminal. The first wake-up area is allocated by the network device, and the user terminal performs wake-up processing based on the first wake-up area. By defining the wake-up area of the user terminal, the purpose of reducing the range of the wake-up terminal on the network side can be achieved, and the wake-up process is simplified.
