Description

通信方法和装置
本申请要求于2022年6月16日提交中国专利局、申请号为202210682522.9、申请名称为“通信方法和装置”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请实施例涉及通信领域,并且更具体的,涉及一种通信方法和装置。
背景技术
目前,为了进一步降低终端的功耗,终端可以在有数据传输时唤醒。该机制可以通过两个接收机来实现,例如,一个是终端的主接收机,另一个是终端的唤醒接收机(wake-up receiver,WUR)。唤醒接收机可以超低功耗监听唤醒信号,唤醒接收机接收到唤醒信号后可以触发主接收机唤醒。如果唤醒接收机没有触发主接收机唤醒,则主接收机处于关闭状态或者深度休眠状态。主接收机开启时,可以用于数据传输,从而进一步实现终端节能的目的。
终端在移动过程中,需要测量驻留小区和/或其它小区的信号质量。假设终端在移动过程中,主接收机关闭或者处于深度休眠状态,终端无法获取驻留小区和/或邻小区的信号质量,此时如何按照实际需求测量驻留小区和/或其它小区的信号质量,成为需要解决的技术问题。
发明内容
本申请提供一种通信方法和装置,终端可以从网络设备获取驻留小区的唤醒信号的配置信息和其它小区的唤醒信号的配置信息,从而可以按照终端的信号测量需求,接收驻留小区的唤醒信号和/或其它小区的唤醒信号。节省了终端的功耗的同时,实现终端对驻留小区和/或邻小区的信号测量。
第一方面,提供了一种通信方法,该方法可以由终端执行,或者,也可以由终端的组成部件(例如芯片或者电路)执行,对此不作限定。
该方法包括:终端接收来自网络设备的第一配置信息和第二配置信息,其中,第一配置信息包括第一小区的第一信号的资源信息,第二配置信息包括M个第二小区的M个第二信号的资源信息,M为大于或者等于1的整数。第一信号和第二信号为在唤醒接收机WUR的链路上传输的信号,第一小区为终端的驻留小区,第二小区与第一小区不同。终端根据所述第一配置信息,接收所述第一信号;和/或,终端根据所述第二配置信息,接收所述M个第二信号中的一个或者多个第二信号。
基于上述技术方案,终端可以基于第一配置信息和第二配置信息获取驻留小区和其他小区的上发送信号的资源信息,便于终端根据实际需求接收驻留小区和/或其他小区上的 信号。由于第一信号和第二信号为在唤醒接收机WUR的链路上传输的信号,因此,即便终端处于关闭状态或深度休眠状态,也可以利用唤醒接收机接收驻留小区和/或其它小区的信号。进一步的,终端可以基于接收的第一信号和/或第二信号,测量驻留小区和/或其它小区的信号质量。
在一种可能的实现方式中,终端根据第一配置信息接收第一信号;和/或,终端根据第二配置信息,接收M个第二信号中的一个或者多个第二信号,包括:终端根据第一配置信息,接收第一信号,在第一信号的信号质量小于或者等于第一阈值的情况下,终端根据所述第二配置信息,接收M个第二信号中的一个或者多个第二信号。

在一种可能的实现方式中,终端根据第一配置信息接收第一信号;和/或,终端根据第二配置信息,接收M个第二信号中的一个或者多个第二信号,包括:在第一时长内未能根据第一配置信息接收到第一信号的情况下,终端根据第二配置信息,接收M个第二信号中的一个或者多个第二信号。
本申请中的“第一时长”的开始时刻可以理解为,例如,从终端设备开始准备接收第一信号时便可以理解为“第一时长”的开始时刻。又例如,从终端设备开始准备接收第一配置信息和第二配置信息时便可理解为“第一时长”开始时刻。应理解,本领域技术人员可以根据实际情况灵活确定“第一时长”的开始时刻。
基于上述技术方案,当终端在一段时长内未能成功接收驻留小区的信号时,终端接收驻留小区之外的其他小区的信号,可以降低终端因为等待接收驻留小区信息造成的时延较大的问题。并且,如果长时间没有收到驻留小区的信号时,本申请的技术方案还避免了唤醒主接收机,即,避免了唤醒主接收机测量驻留小区和其它小区的信号质量。本申请中,当终端在一段时长内未能成功接收驻留小区的信号时,可以通过唤醒接收机测量其它小区的质量,从而判断是否进行小区重选。既可以减小终端的功耗,又可以监测周围小区的信号质量,可以避免为了测量小区质量而唤醒主接收机,减小了终端的能耗。

基于上述技术方案,终端在同时接收第一信号和第二信号时,由于第二信号可以有多个,此时终端可以只接收驻留小区以及驻留小区的邻小区的信号,从而可以进一步减小终端的功耗。

本申请中,第二小区可以包含了除过第一小区以外的一个或多个小区,如果第二小区包含多个小区,则上述技术方案也可以理解为,终端在同时接收第一信号和第二信号时,可以只需接收第一信号以及第一小区的邻小区中的信号(即,第三信号)。例如,不会接收第一小区的邻小区的邻小区的信号(即,第四信号),从而可以进一步减小终端的功耗。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该方法还包括:终端根据第一信号的质量和第三信号的质量,从第一小区切换到第三小区。

在一种可能的实现方式中,终端根据第二配置信息,接收M个第二信号中的一个或者多个第二信号,包括:终端根据第二配置信息,接收所述第三信号;和/或,终端根据第二配置信息,接收所述第四信号。

具体实施方式
下面将结合附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行描述。
图1是本申请的实施例应用的通信系统1000的架构示意图。如图1所示,该通信系统包括无线接入网100和核心网200,可选的,通信系统1000还可以包括互联网300。其中,无线接入网100可以包括至少一个无线接入网设备(如图1中的110a和110b),还 可以包括至少一个终端(如图1中的120a-120j)。终端通过无线的方式与无线接入网设备相连,无线接入网设备通过无线或有线方式与核心网连接。核心网设备与无线接入网设备可以是独立的不同的物理设备,也可以是将核心网设备的功能与无线接入网设备的逻辑功能集成在同一个物理设备上,还可以是一个物理设备上集成了部分核心网设备的功能和部分的无线接入网设备的功能。终端和终端之间以及无线接入网设备和无线接入网设备之间可以通过有线或无线的方式相互连接。图1只是示意图,该通信系统中还可以包括其它网络设备,如还可以包括无线中继设备和无线回传设备,在图1中未画出。
无线接入网设备例如可以是基站(base station)、演进型基站(evolved NodeB,eNodeB)、发送接收点(transmission reception point,TRP)、第五代(5th generation,5G)移动通信系统中的下一代基站(next generation NodeB,gNB)、第六代(6th generation,6G)移动通信系统中的下一代基站、未来移动通信系统中的基站或WiFi系统中的接入节点等;也可以是完成基站部分功能的模块或单元,例如,可以是集中式单元(central unit,CU),也可以是分布式单元(distributed unit,DU)。这里的CU完成基站的无线资源控制协议和分组数据汇聚层协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)的功能,还可以完成业务数据适配协议(service data adaptation protocol,SDAP)的功能;DU完成基站的无线链路控制层和介质访问控制(medium access control,MAC)层的功能,还可以完成部分物理层或全部物理层的功能,有关上述各个协议层的具体描述,可以参考第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd generation partnership project,3GPP)的相关技术规范。无线接入网设备可以是宏基站(如图1中的110a),也可以是微基站或室内站(如图1中的110b),还可以是中继节点或施主节点等。本申请的实施例对无线接入网设备所采用的具体技术和具体设备形态不做限定。为了便于描述,下文以基站作为无线接入网设备的例子进行描述。
终端设备也可以称为终端、用户设备(user equipment,UE)、移动台、移动终端等。终端可以广泛应用于各种场景,例如,设备到设备(device-to-device,D2D)、车物(vehicle to everything,V2X)通信、机器类通信(machine-type communication,MTC)、物联网(internet of things,IOT)、虚拟现实、增强现实、工业控制、自动驾驶、远程医疗、智能电网、智能家具、智能办公、智能穿戴、智能交通、智慧城市等。终端可以是手机、平板电脑、带无线收发功能的电脑、可穿戴设备、车辆、无人机、直升机、飞机、轮船、机器人、机械臂、智能家居设备等。本申请的实施例对终端所采用的具体技术和具体设备形态不做限定。
基站和终端可以是固定位置的,也可以是可移动的。基站和终端可以部署在陆地上,包括室内或室外、手持或车载;也可以部署在水面上;还可以部署在飞机、气球和人造卫星上。本申请的实施例对基站和终端的应用场景不做限定。
基站和终端的角色可以是相对的,例如,图1中的直升机或无人机120i可以被配置成移动基站,对于那些通过120i接入到无线接入网100的终端120j来说,终端120i是基站;但对于基站110a来说,120i是终端,即110a与120i之间是通过无线空口协议进行通信的。当然,110a与120i之间也可以是通过基站与基站之间的接口协议进行通信的,此时,相对于110a来说,120i也是基站。因此,基站和终端都可以统一称为通信装置,图1中的110a和110b可以称为具有基站功能的通信装置,图1中的120a-120j可以称为具有终端功能的通信装置。
基站和终端之间、基站和基站之间、终端和终端之间可以通过授权频谱进行通信,也 可以通过免授权频谱进行通信,也可以同时通过授权频谱和免授权频谱进行通信;可以通过6千兆赫(gigahertz,GHz)以下的频谱进行通信,也可以通过6GHz以上的频谱进行通信,还可以同时使用6GHz以下的频谱和6GHz以上的频谱进行通信。本申请的实施例对无线通信所使用的频谱资源不做限定。
在本申请的实施例中,基站的功能也可以由基站中的模块(如芯片)来执行,也可以由包含有基站功能的控制子系统来执行。这里的包含有基站功能的控制子系统可以是智能电网、工业控制、智能交通、智慧城市等上述应用场景中的控制中心。终端的功能也可以由终端中的模块(如芯片或调制解调器)来执行,也可以由包含有终端功能的装置来执行。
在本申请中,基站向终端发送下行信号或下行信息,下行信息承载在下行信道上;终端向基站发送上行信号或上行信息,上行信息承载在上行信道上。终端为了与基站进行通信,需要与基站控制的小区建立无线连接。与终端建立了无线连接的小区称为该终端的服务小区。当终端与该服务小区进行通信的时候,还会受到来自邻区的信号的干扰。
在本申请的实施例中,时域符号可以是正交频分复用(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing,OFDM)符号,也可以是离散傅里叶变换扩频OFDM(Discrete Fourier Transform-spread-OFDM,DFT-s-OFDM)符号。如果没有特别说明,本申请实施例中的符号均指时域符号。
为了便于理解本申请的技术方案,下面对本申请涉及到的相关专业术语进行说明。
1、唤醒接收机(wake-up receiver,WUR)
唤醒接收机(或唤醒电路)能够以低功耗监听唤醒信号(wake up signal,WUS),唤醒接收机接收到唤醒信号后可以触发主接收机唤醒,如图2中的(a)所示。例如,唤醒接收机是可以接收用开关键控(on-off key,OOK)调制或频移键控(frequency shift keying,FSK)调制的信号的接收机,或者唤醒接收机是可以接收在生成或解码过程中不用快速傅里叶变换(fast Fourier transform,FFT)或快速傅里叶逆变换(inverse fast fourier transform,IFFT)的信号的接收机,或者唤醒接收机是可以接收曼彻斯特编码的信号的接收机。
本申请中的“唤醒接收机”也可以替换描述为“低功耗接收机”、“超低功耗接收机”“低功耗唤醒接收机”、“超低功耗唤醒接收机”、“唤醒射频(wake-up radio)”、“辅接收机”、“唤醒电路”等等,应理解,WUR仅为本申请中对能够以低功耗监听唤醒信号的接收机的称呼,本申请对以低功耗监听唤醒信号的接收机的名称不做限制。
2、主接收机(main radio)
本申请中,主接收机和唤醒接收机对应,主接收机的功耗较高,但主接收机的功能更多,可以收发的信号种类也更多。例如,主接收机可以是在连接态下与基站正常通信的接收机,承担主要数据传输的接收机。又例如,主接收机是可以做FFT的信号或IFFT的信号的接收机。又例如,主接收机是本地振荡器精度较高的接收机。
唤醒接收机和主接收机相比能耗更低。或者说,唤醒接收机链路上传输的信号的能耗比主接收机接收主链路上传输的信号的能耗更低。例如,唤醒接收机是本地振荡器精度较低的接收机。又例如,唤醒接收机是采用包络检波的接收机。又例如,唤醒接收机是不需要做快速傅里叶变换或快速傅里叶逆变换的接收机。采用这些方式便于实现唤醒接收机的低功耗。
由于主接收机的功耗较大,唤醒接收机接收到唤醒信号后可以触发主接收机唤醒。如 果唤醒接收机没有触发主接收机(或主电路)唤醒,主接收机处于关闭状态或者深度休眠状态,如图2中的(b)所示。主接收机可以用于数据发送和接收。主接收机是可以接收同步信号块(synchronization signal block,SSB)、物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel PDCCH)、物理下行共享信道(physical downlink shared channel,PDSCH)、或信道状态信息参考信号(channelstate reference signal,CSI RS)的接收机。又例如,主接收机是可以接收二进制相移键控(binary phase shift keying,BPSK)、正交相移键控(quadrature phase shift keying,QPSK)、16正交振幅调制(quadrature amplitude modulation,QAM)、64QAM或256QAM调制信号的接收机。
3、唤醒信号
本申请中,将唤醒接收机监测的信号,称作“唤醒信号”,也可以理解为“在唤醒链路上传输的信号”、“WUR信号”,等等。“唤醒信号”可以理解为,用于唤醒某一设备或者某一设备内部分模块或者部分链路的信号。
例如,WUR信号可以是用开关键控(on-off key,OOK)调制或频移键控(frequency shift keying,FSK)调制的信号,或者也可以是在生成或解码过程中不用快速傅里叶变换(fast Fourier transform,FFT)或快速傅里叶逆变换(inverse fast fourier transform,IFFT)的信号,或者也可以是采用曼彻斯特编码的信号。
当采用OOK调制时,每个比特可以对应一个符号,每个比特也可以被称为一个码片(chip),例如,该比特可以是编码后的比特,对于某一比特来说,当该比特的比特值为1时,该比特对应的符号内有信号发出(即,该符号内信号功率不为0)。而当该比特的比特值为0时,该比特对应的符号内无信号发出(即,该符号内信号功率为0)。应理解,也可以反过来,即当该比特的比特值为0时,该符号长度内有信号发出(即,该符号内信号功率不为0),而当该比特的比特值不为1时,该符号内无信号发出(即,该符号内信号功率为0),本申请对此不作限定。
对于终端而言,唤醒信号可以包括:终端的标识、终端的分组标识、特定标识、同步信号(或称为“低功耗的同步信号”)中的一项或多项。
其中,终端的标识或分组标识或特定标识可以用于终端确定网络设备是否寻呼该终端,从而确定是否需要触发主接收机唤醒。
特定标识可以是唤醒全部终端的标识。例如,特定标识可以是地震预警信息、海啸预警信息、系统消息变更信息。可选的,特定标识可以是高层配置或协议预定义。
同步信号可以用于终端可以根据唤醒信号中的低功耗的同步信号与网络设备进行时间同步。或者,终端也可以测量该低功耗的同步信号的信号质量,确定当前WUR链路的信号质量,或者该小区中信号质量。
本申请中,将传输唤醒信号的链路,称作“WUR的链路”。
4、驻留小区
驻留小区可以理解为“服务小区”。本申请中,驻留小区可以是为终端发送无线资源控制释放或系统消息的小区或者是终端最后的服务小区。也可以是终端要进行随机接入时所选择的小区,可以是可以理解为终端最新获取系统信息的小区,也可以是终端从连接态(或空闲态或非激活态)进入到接收唤醒信号状态的小区。这里的接收唤醒信号状态,可以理解为,关闭主接收机和/或开启唤醒接收机的状态。可替代的,“驻留小区”也可以 描述为“服务小区”。
5、跟踪区(tracking area)和无线接入网通知区(RAN-based notification area)
其中,跟踪区(tracking area)可以理解为:终端处于空闲(IDLE)态时,终端接收的寻呼为核心网寻呼(CN paging),网络侧(即核心网设备)会通过终端所在的tracking area内各个接入网设备发送给该终端寻呼消息。接入网设备会在系统信息中广播当前接入网设备所在的tracking area。终端在IDLE态下运动到新的小区时,会接收新小区的系统信息,通过读取其中的跟踪区码(tracking area code)确定自己是否还在之前的tracking area中。若终端发现自己已经进入新的tracking area,终端会发起移动注册更新(mobility registration update)的过程,告知核心网自己所处的新的tracking area的相关信息。
无线接入网通知区(RAN-based notification area)可以理解为:终端处于激活(INACTIVE)态时,终端接收的寻呼为接入网寻呼(RAN paging),接入网侧(具体为终端最后的服务小区(last serving cell)对应的接入网设备)会通过终端所在的无线接入网通知区内的各个接入网设备向该终端发送寻呼消息。例如,各个接入网设备会在系统信息中广播当前接入网设备所在的RAN area。终端在IDLE态下运动到新的小区时,会接收新小区的系统信息,终端通过读取其中的接入网区域码(RAN-area code)确定自己是否还在之前的无线接入网通知区中。若终端发现自己已经进入新的无线接入网通知区,终端会发起接入网区域更新(RAN-based notification area update)的过程,告知接入网侧自己所处的新的无线接入网通知区的相关信息。
一般情况下,tracking area的范围比无线接入网通知区大,可以理解为,一个无线接入网通知区对应的接入网设备为一个tracking area对应的接入网设备的子集。
通常情况下,一个网络设备(例如,基站)可以对应一个或多个小区。例如,以该网络设备为中心的一片覆盖区域可以理解为“小区”。本申请中,该网络设备可以为该第一小区或驻留小区提供服务。
6、资源
数据或信息可以通过资源来承载,本申请中,“资源”可以是频域资源和/或时域资源。资源信息可以是时域资源信息,频域资源信息,或者视频资源信息。
在时域上,资源可以包括一个或多个时间单元。一个时间单元可以是一个符号,或者一个迷你时隙(mini-slot),或者一个时隙(slot),或者一个子帧(subframe),其中,一个子帧在时域上的持续时间可以是1毫秒(ms),一个时隙由7个或者14个符号组成,一个迷你时隙可以包括至少一个符号(例如,2个符号或4个符号或者7个符号,或者小于等于14个符号的任意数目符号)。在频域上,资源可以包括一个或者多个资源块(resource block,RB)、物理资源块(physical resource block,PRB),等等。例如,“资源信息”可以是时频资源信息。
目前,终端可以在每个非连续接收(discontinuous reception,DRX)周期唤醒一次,即,无论终端是否有数据传输,都需要在每个DRX周期唤醒一次。为了进一步降低终端的功耗,终端可以在有数据传输时唤醒。该机制可以通过两个接收机来实现,例如,一个是终端的主接收机,另一个是终端的唤醒接收机。主接收机开启时,可以用于数据发送和接收,从而进一步实现终端节能的目的。终端在移动过程中,需要测量驻留小区和/或其它小区的信号质量。按照上述机制,假设终端在移动过程中,主接收机关闭,此时如何按 照实际需求测量驻留小区和/或其它小区的信号质量,成为需要解决的技术问题。
有鉴于此,本申请提供一种通信方法和装置,终端可以从网络设备获取驻留小区的唤醒信号的配置信息和其它小区的唤醒信号的配置信息,从而可以按照终端的信号测量需求,接收驻留小区的唤醒信号和/或其它小区的唤醒信号。不仅节省了终端的功耗,还实现了对驻留小区和/或邻小区的测量。可以避免为了测量小区质量而唤醒主接收机,减小了终端的能耗。

上述的“point A”为资源块网格中的公共参考点,本申请中的“资源块”可以理解为网络设备为终端配置的该小区或属于小区的载波中的资源块(例如,第一小区中的资源块;又例如,第二小区中的资源块)
应理解,一个小区内可以包含多个唤醒信号的频域位置,例如,多个唤醒信号的频域位置可以是相邻的,便于终端的监测。
本申请中,对第一配置信息和第二配置信息的发送方式不予限定,例如,网络设备可以通过一条信令同时发送第一配置信息和第二配置信息。又例如,网络设备可以通过不同信令分别发送第一配置信息和第二配置信息。具体的,可以包括以下实现方式:
方式(1)
在步骤301之前,可选的,还包括步骤300:终端向网络设备上报唤醒接收机的能力信息和/或主接收机的能力信息。对应的,网络设备接收唤醒接收机的能力信息和/或主接收机的能力信息。
其中,唤醒接收机的能力信息包括:唤醒接收机接收信号的灵敏度信息和/或唤醒接收机的等级标识信息;主接收机的能力信息包括:主接收机接收信号的灵敏度信息和/或主接收机的等级标识信息。
唤醒接收机接收信号的灵敏度信息,例如,可以是的唤醒接收机最大灵敏度恶化(maximum sensitivity degradation,MSD)性能的信息。唤醒接收机的等级标识信息,例如可以是唤醒接收机灵敏度等级指示信息,或者唤醒接收机接收能力等级指示信息,或者唤醒接收机功耗等级标识信息,等等。
可选的,方式(1)还包括步骤:网络设备根据唤醒接收机的能力信息和/或主接收机的能力信息,确定向终端发送第一配置信息和第二配置信息。
可选的,网络设备还可以根据唤醒接收机的能力信息和/或主接收机的能力信息(例如,唤醒接收机的等级标识信息),确定唤醒接收机能力和主接收机能力相同或者基本相同。
应理解,本申请中,唤醒接收机的能力可以理解为唤醒接收机出厂配置的能力,也可以理解为,唤醒接收机处理信号的能力。本申请中,网络设备(或,终端)可以对唤醒接收机的能力灵活判定,调整发送(或,接收)的配置信息,从而可以更好的保障数据传输性能。
本申请中,“唤醒接收机能力和主接收机的能力相同或者基本相同”,可以理解为,在某个位置,唤醒接收机接收到唤醒信号的信号强度与主接收机接收到的信号的信号强度相比较不超过一个阈值。或者,“唤醒接收机能力和主接收机的能力相同或者基本相同”,也可以理解为,在小区的任意位置,唤醒接收机接收到唤醒信号的信号强度与主接收机接收到的信号的信号强度相比较都不会超过一个阈值。
这里的“相比较”,可以是将两个信号强度先进行数学运算,得到的差值不大于一个阈值。例如,将两个信号强度进行除法运算、或者减法运算,再和阈值比较。例如,主接收机接收到的信号的信号强度为H1,唤醒接收机接收到唤醒信号的信号强度为H2,阈值为K,当H1-H2≤K时,唤醒接收机能力和主接收机的能力相同或者基本相同,或者,放H1/H2≤K时,唤醒接收机能力和主接收机的能力相同或者基本相同。
或者,“唤醒接收机能力和主接收机的能力相同或者基本相同”,也可以理解为,唤醒接收机能接收到的信号的范围与主接收机能接收到的信号的范围相同或者基本相同。还可以理解为,唤醒接收机接收的信号和主接收机接收的信号的覆盖范围相同或者基本相同、唤醒接收机接收信号的覆盖范围满足要求、唤醒接收机的能力满足要求。例如,主接收机在小区内任何一个地方都可以接收到该小区的信号,唤醒接收机在小区的任何一个地方也可以成功接收到该小区的唤醒信号。又例如,主接收机在小区边缘可以成功接收到小区的信号,唤醒接收机在小区的边缘也可以成功接收到该小区的唤醒信号。再例如,即便在该小区的边缘,唤醒接收机接收到的该小区的唤醒信号的信号强度仍然大于或者等于某个阈值。
方式(2)
可选的,步骤301的具体实现可以是:网络设备向终端先发送第一配置信息,对应的终端接收第一配置信息。终端根据第一配置信息,接收第一信号。
在一种可能的实现方式中,终端确定第一信号的信号质量大于或者等于第二阈值。例如,终端可以将第一信号的信号质量与主接收机测量的信号质量或主接收机测量的信号质量乘以一个参数进行比较。如果终端比较后确定第一信号的信号质量大于或者等于第二阈值,此时,终端确定唤醒接收机和主接收机接收信号的能力相同或基本相同。则,终端可以向网络设备发送第一信息,第一信息用于请求第二配置信息。网络设备接收第一信息后,向终端发送第二配置信息。即,在该实现方式中,终端可以通过第一信号的信号质量判断是否请求第二配置信息。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,终端向网络设备上报第一信号的信号质量。网络设备确定第一信号的信号质量大于或者等于第二阈值,也可以理解为,网络设备确定唤醒接收机和主接收机接收信号的能力相同或基本相同。此时,网络设备向终端发送第二配置信息。即,该实现方式中,网络设备可以通过第一信号的信号质量判断是否向终端发送第二配置信息。
步骤302,终端根据第一配置信息,接收第一信号,和/或,终端根据第二配置信息,接收一个或者多个第二信号。
可选的,本申请中的第一信号可以是唤醒信号。可选的,本申请中的第二信号可以是唤醒信号。
本申请中,“终端根据第一配置信息,接收所述第一信号”,具体实现可以是:
在一种可能的实现方式中,如果终端的主接收机接收第一配置信息,则主接收机可以根据第一配置信息控制唤醒接收机接收第一信号。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,如果终端的主接收机接收第一配置信息,则主接收机可以向唤醒接收机发送第一配置信息,应理解,终端的主接收机向唤醒接收机发送信息的行为,可以理解为“终端内部信息的传递。唤醒接收机根据第一配置信息接收第一信号。在一种可能的实现方式中,如果终端的主接收机接收第一配置信息或唤醒接收机接收第一配置信息,则主接收机或唤醒接收机可以向终端的控制器发送第一配置信息,则终端的控制器可以根据第一配置信息控制唤醒接收机接收第一信号。
在又一种可能的实现方式中,如果终端的唤醒接收机接收第一配置信息,则唤醒接收机可以根据第一配置信息接收第一信号。
类似的,在“终端根据第二配置信息,接收M个第二信号中的一个或者多个第二信号”的情况下,终端内部的具体的执行主体也可以参照上述几种终端接收第一配置信息的实现方式。例如,如果终端的主接收机接收第二配置信息,则主接收机可以根据第二配置信息控制唤醒接收机接收M个第二信号中的一个或者多个第二信号,等等。
需要说明的是,终端不是必须根据第二配置信息接收M个第二信号中的一个或者多个第二信号的。作为一个示例,终端在驻留小区内移动,终端通过接收第一信号获得第一信号的质量大于或者等于第一阈值,也可以理解为,终端在第一小区中的信号质量较好。此时,终端可能在小区中心或者靠近小区中心位置。此时终端没有切换小区的需求,或者说终端不需要进行小区重选,此时,终端可以不接收第一小区邻区的信号。或者说,不需要对第一小区的邻区进行测量。终端可以根据第一配置信息,需接收第一信号,而不接收M个第二信号。
具体的,终端根据第二配置信息,接收M个第二信号中的一个或者多个第二信号,可以有以下实现方式:
方式(a)
在第一信号的信号质量小于或者等于第一阈值的情况下,终端根据第二配置信息,接收M个第二信号中的一个或者多个第二信号。具体的,假设终端位于小区边缘或者移动到小区边缘,终端通过接收第一信号获得第一信号的质量小于或者等于第一阈值,此时,终端还可以根据第二配置信息,接收M个第二信号中的一个或者多个第二信号。也可以理解为,终端在第一小区中的信号质量较差,此时,此时终端没有切换小区的需求,或者进行小区重选的需求,终端根据第二配置信息,接收第二信号。即,在这种情况下,终端可以同时接收第一小区的唤醒信号和第二小区的唤醒信号。
方式(b)
在终端在第一时长内未能根据第一配置信息接收到第一信号的情况下,终端根据第二配置信息,接收M个第二信号中的一个或者多个第二信号。具体的,例如,WUR链路上传输的信号较弱,终端接收不到唤醒信号,或者终端对接收到的唤醒信号解码错误,此时,终端还可以根据第二配置信息,接收M个第二信号中的一个或者多个第二信号。也可以理解为,终端在第一小区中的信号质量较差,终端无需一直等待接收第一信号,终端可以根据第二配置信息,接收第二信号。即,在这种情况下,终端可以同时接收第一小区的唤醒信号和第二小区的唤醒信号。
因此,终端根据第二配置信息,接收M个第二信号中的一个或者多个第二信号,还可以有以下实现方式:
方式(c)
如果M个第二小区包括第一小区的邻小区,此时,终端可以根据第一配置信息接收第一小区的唤醒信号,并且,终端根据第二配置信息接收第一小区的邻小区的唤醒信号(记为“第三信号”)。
方式(d)
如果M个第二小区包括第一小区的邻小区,以及,第一小区的邻小区的邻小区,此时,终端可以根据第一配置信息接收第一小区的唤醒信号,并且,终端根据第二配置信息,仍然只接收第一小区的邻小区的唤醒信号,即,不用接收第一小区的邻小区的邻小区的唤醒信号(记为“第四信号”)。
换句话说,方式(c)、方式(d)也可以理解为:终端在接收第二小区的唤醒信号时,可以只接收第一小区的邻小区的唤醒信号,其它非第一小区的邻小区的唤醒信号,终端可以不用接收。或者也可以理解为,网络设备为终端配置了多个小区的唤醒信号相关的配置信息,终端实际在接收唤醒信号的时候,可以不用接收所有小区的唤醒信号,从而可以减小终端的功耗。
进一步的,终端可以根据第一信号的质量和第三信号的质量,进行小区重选(“小区重选”也可以理解为“小区切换”)。例如,第三信号的质量大于第一信号的质量时,终端确定第一小区的邻小区为重选后的小区。又例如,第三信号的质量大于一个阈值且第一信号的质量小于另一阈值时,终端确定第一小区的邻小区为重选后的小区。终端完成小区重选后,可以根据第二配置信息接收第三信号;和/或,根据第二配置信息接收第四信号。换句话说,终端在完成小区重选后,可以继续监测重选后的小区的唤醒信号,和/或,重选后的小区的邻小区的唤醒信号。
可选的,本申请中,“第一配置信息”和/或“第二配置信息”还可以包含至少一个第二小区与第一小区的关系。例如,该至少一个第二小区中的哪些第二小区与第一小区是邻区关系。可选的,该“第一配置信息”和/或“第二配置信息”还可以包含每个小区之间的关系,例如,至少一个第二小区中的每个第二小区与哪些第二小区之间是邻小区的关系,又例如,哪些第二小区与第一小区之间是邻小区的关系。具体的,例如,网络设备可以将多个小区进行分组,例如,第一组包含小区#1以及小区#1的邻小区,假设,小区#1的邻小区有小区#2、小区#3、小区#4、小区#5。例如,第二组包含小区#2以及小区#2的邻小区,假设小区#2的邻小区有小区#1、小区#6、小区#7、小区#8,等等。网络设备可以将该分组信息发送给终端,在一种可能的实现方式中,第二配置信息中可以包含小区的分组信息,该分组信息用于向终端指示该小区的邻小区。
可选的,第二配置信息中还可以包括第二小区是否支持发送WUR信号的信息。
可选的,第二配置信息中可以通过是否包含第二小区的WUR信号配置信息(例如WUR信号时频资源参数)隐式指示是否第二小区是否支持发送WUR信号。
本申请中的“第一阈值”、“第二阈值”例如可以是由所述网络设备配置的,或者“第一阈值”、“第二阈值”是协议预定义的,或者所述“第一阈值”、“第二阈值”与所述终端的主接收机测量的信号质量有关。
本申请中的“第一时长”例如可以是由所述网络设备配置的,或者第一时长是协议预定义,等等,不予限定。
本申请中,“第一时长”例如可以理解为一个时间段。又例如,“第一时长”可以是时间单元。例如,“时间单元”可以是一个或多个无线帧,一个或多个子帧,一个或多个时隙,一个或多个微时隙,一个或多个符号等。其中,符号可以是正交频分复用(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing,OFDM)符号、离散傅里叶变换扩频的正交频分复用(discrete fourier transform spread spectrum orthogonal frequency division multiplexing,DFT-S-OFDM)符号等。例如,第一时间还可以是1秒(second,简称“s”)或多秒,1毫秒(millisecond,简称“ms”)或多毫秒等。
需要说明的是,本申请中的“第一阈值”、“第二阈值”、“第一时长”可以是通过多个参数之间进行数学运算得到的。例如,可以是多个参数数学运算的“和”。
例如,在一种可能的实现方式中,上述方法300的场景可以是:终端在移动过程中,网络设备没有寻呼该终端,也可以理解为终端和网络设备之间没有数据传输,主接收机关闭。进一步的,该场景该可以是:终端或网络设备确定终端的唤醒接收机和主接收机的能力基本相同,不需要唤醒主接收机接收第二小区的信号。
基于上述技术方案,本实施例中,终端可以先获取(例如,在主接收机关闭前获取)第一配置信息和第二配置信息,从而,使得终端在移动过程中,可以根据实际需求测量驻留小区的信号质量和/或邻小区的信号质量。不仅节省了终端的功耗,还实现了对驻留小区和/或邻小区的测量。
图4是本申请提供的另一通信方法400,需要说明的是,图4中用虚线表示的步骤是可选的,在后文中不多赘述。其中,方法400的技术方案部分说明可以参照方法300进行理解,此处主要针对与方法300相比的不同之处进行说明。该方法包括:
步骤401,网络设备向终端发送第一配置信息。对应的,终端接收第一配置信息。
其中,“第一配置信息”的解释可以参照方法300中的步骤301中的说明进行理解。
“网络设备向终端发送第一配置信息”,具体的实现方式可以有:
方式(1)
在执行步骤401之前,可选的还包括步骤400:终端向网络设备上报唤醒接收机的能力信息和/或主接收机的能力信息。对应的,网络设备接收唤醒接收机的能力信息和/或主接收机的能力信息。
其中,唤醒接收机的能力信息、主接收的能力信息可以参照方法300中的描述进行理解。
可选的,方式(1)还包括步骤:网络设备根据唤醒接收机的能力信息和/或主接收机的能力信息,确定向终端发送第一配置信息。例如,网络设备可以根据唤醒接收机的等级标识信息,确定唤醒接收机的能力和主接收机的能力不同。
本申请中,“唤醒接收机的能力和主接收机的能力不同”,可以理解为:唤醒接收机接收到唤醒信号的信号强度与主接收机接收到的信号的信号强度相比较超过了一个阈值。例如,主接收机接收到的信号的信号强度减去唤醒接收机接收到唤醒信号的信号强度大于某个阈值时,表示唤醒接收机能力和主接收机的能力不相同。例如,不论在小区的任何位置,唤醒接收机接收到唤醒信号的信号强度与主接收机接收到的信号的信号强度相比较超 过该阈值,表示唤醒接收机能力和主接收机的能力不相同。
或者,“唤醒接收机的能力和主接收机的能力不同”,还可以理解为,唤醒接收机能接收到的信号的范围与主接收机能接收到的信号的范围不同。或者还可以理解为,唤醒接收机接收的信号和主接收机接收的信号的覆盖范围不同、唤醒接收机接收信号的覆盖范围不满足要求、唤醒接收机的能力不满足要求,唤醒接收机接收的信号的能力弱于主接收机,或唤醒信号接收机接收信号的覆盖范围弱于主接收机。例如,唤醒接收机在第一小区边缘时,无法接收到第一小区的唤醒信号。可选的,此时,唤醒接收机也无法接收到第二小区的唤醒信号。也就是说终端在小区间移动时,可能会出现收不到唤醒信号的情况。若此时网络设备需要唤醒终端,那么终端将无法通过唤醒接收机收到网络设备的唤醒信号。可选的,终端在唤醒接收机无法成功接收到唤醒信号的区域(例如,小区边缘),需要主接收机唤醒,在主接收机上进行信号接收,避免错过网络设备发送的信号。
方式(2)
在一种可能的实现方式中,终端确定第一信号的信号质量小于或者等于第二阈值,也可以理解为,终端确定唤醒接收机和主接收机接收信号的能力不同。与方法300相比,方法400中终端不会向网络设备请求发送第二配置信息。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,终端向网络设备上报第一信号的信号质量。网络设备确定第一信号的信号质量小于或者等于第二阈值,也可以理解为,网络设备确定唤醒接收机和主接收机接收信号的能力不同。此时,网络设备不会向终端发送第二配置信息。
在又一种可能的实现方式中,网络设备指示终端不必接收或者忽略第二配置信息。或者,终端向网络设备请求发送唤醒信号的配置信息(例如,第一配置信息)时,不请求第二配置信息。或者,终端获取了第一配置信息和第二配置信息,但是终端可以忽略第二配置信息。
或者,在本实施例中,即便网络设备向终端发送第二配置信息,终端也不会根据第二配置信息接收第二信号。即,在方法400中,终端将忽略非驻留小区的唤醒信号的配置信息。
其中,第一配置信息和第二配置信息具体的承载方式可以参见方法300步骤301中的描述进行理解。
步骤402,终端根据第一配置信息,接收所述第一信号。
本实施例中,“终端根据第一配置信息,接收所述第一信号”,可以参见方法300中的步骤302进行理解。进一步的,终端后续可以有以下实现方式:
方式(a)
在一种可能的实现方式中,在第一信号的信号质量小于或者等于第三阈值的情况下,终端的主接收机唤醒,主接收机接收第五信号,该第五信号为第二小区中的信号。
本申请中,例如,第五信号可以是主接收机接收的第二小区中的SSB、信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information-reference signal,CSI-RS),等等。
作为一个示例,终端的主接收机接收第一配置信息,并且控制唤醒接收机接收第一信号。唤醒接收机可以基于接收的第一信号(例如,低功耗的同步信号)测量第一信号的质量。如果第一信号的质量小于或者等于第三阈值,则终端确定WUR的链路上传输的信号较差(例如,终端可能移动到第一小区的边缘;又例如,唤醒接收机的能力较差,当前无 法接收到唤醒信号)。此时,唤醒接收机可以触发主接收机唤醒,由主接收机接收第二小区的信号。
方式(b)
在另一种可能的实现方式中,根据第一周期,终端的主接收机唤醒,主接收机接收第五信号。例如,该第一周期可以为主接收机唤醒的周期。
作为一个示例,网络设备为终端配置了主接收机的唤醒周期(“主接收机的唤醒周期”也可以理解为“主接收机的自主唤醒周期)。例如,主接收机每隔10秒唤醒一次;又例如,主接收机每隔一个时隙唤醒一次。主接收机根据配置的第一周期,周期性的唤醒。主接收机唤醒后,接收第二小区的信号。
本实施例中的“第一周期”例如可以是由所述网络设备配置的,或者“第一周期”是协议预定义,等等,不予限定。
方式(c)
在又一种可能的实现方式中,根据最后一次接收第一信号的时刻和第二时长,主接收机唤醒,主接收机接收第五信号。
作为一个示例,唤醒接收机可以根据第一配置信息,接收第一信号。假设唤醒接收机每隔3秒便会接收第一信号,例如,唤醒接收机在第5次接收到第一信号后,便一直未再接收到第一信号。例如,终端在第5次接收到第一信号后,20秒内(第二时长的示例)都未再接收到第一信号。又例如,终端在第一次接收到第一信号后,30秒内(第二时长的示例)便再也没有接收机到第一信号。则终端确定WUR的链路上传输的信号质量较差,唤醒接收机无法接收到唤醒信号。此时,唤醒接收机可以触发主接收机唤醒,或者,主接收机主动唤醒,由主接收机接收第二小区的信号。
本实施例中,主接收机唤醒后,也可以接收第一小区中的SSB、CSI-RS,等等,进行信号测量,不予限定。
本实施例中的“第二时长”例如可以是由所述网络设备配置的,或者“第二时长”是协议预定义,等等,不予限定。
可选的,若第一小区的邻小区中包含唤醒接收机不支持但主接收机支持的频段时,那么主接收机也需唤醒。此时,终端可以在第一信号的质量和/或第二信号的质量低于一定阈值时,触发主接收机唤醒,或者,主接收机主动唤醒。主接收机测量时,可以只需测量唤醒接收机不支持的邻小区的信号质量,减少主接收机非休眠时长,降低终端的功耗。可选的,这里的主接收机主动唤醒也可以与上面的“第一周期”和“第二时长”的例子进行结合。
可选的,如果终端的“第一配置信息”没有包含第二小区相关的分组信息,例如,第一配置信息没有包含第一小区的邻小区的分组信息,即,终端无法获知第一小区的邻小区对应的邻小区有哪些时,唤醒接收机也需要触发主接收机唤醒,或者,主接收机主动唤醒。
可选的,还包括步骤403,终端根据第一信号的信号质量和所述第五信号的信号质量,进行小区重选。
例如,唤醒接收机确定第一信号的信号质量小于或者等于第四阈值,主接收机确定第五信号的信号质量大于或者等于第五阈值,则终端会进行小区重选。例如,从第一小区重选到第一小区的邻小区(第二小区的示例)。
又例如,唤醒接收机接收第一信号,主接收机接收第五信号,唤醒接收机向主接收机发送第一信号的信号质量,主接收机确定第一信号的信号质量小于或者等于第四阈值,并且第五信号的信号质量大于或者等于第五阈值,则终端会进行小区重选。例如,从第一小区重选到第一小区的邻小区。
本实施例中的“第三阈值”、“第四阈值”、“第五阈值”例如可以是由网络设备配置的,或者“第三阈值”、“第四阈值”“第五阈值”是协议预定义,或者,“第三阈值”、“第四阈值”、“第五阈值”与主接收机测量的信号质量相关,等等,不予限定。
例如,在一种可能的实现方式中,上述方法400的场景可以是:终端在移动过程中,网络设备寻呼该终端,也可以理解为终端和网络设备之间数据传输,主接收机唤醒。又例如,上述方法400的场景可以是:终端或网络设备确定终端的唤醒接收机和主接收机的能力不同,即需要终端移动过程中,主接收机需要唤醒。
基于上述技术方案,本实施例中,终端可以接收第一配置信息,并且基于各种方式确定需要主接收机唤醒,从而使得终端在移动过程中,可以根据实际需求测量驻留小区的信号质量和/或邻小区的信号质量,实现了对驻留小区和/或邻小区的测量。
图5是本申请提供的另一种通信方法500,其中,方法500的技术方案的部分说明可以参照方法300和方法400进行理解,此处主要针对与方法300、方法400相比的不同之处进行说明。
步骤501,终端向网络设备上报第二信息,第二信息至少用于指示唤醒接收机的能力。对应的,网络设备接收来自终端的第二信息。
在一种可能的实现方式中,终端向网络设备上报第二信息,第二信息可以是唤醒接收机的能力信息和/或主接收机的能力信息。具体的“唤醒接收机的能力信息和/或主接收机的能力信息”的解释可以参照方法300中的描述进行理解。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,第二信息可以是第一信号的质量。在该实现方式中,终端可以先获取第一配置信息,并且根据第一信息接收第一信号,获得第一信号的质量。可选的,终端也可以根据第一信号的质量,确定是否请求第二配置信息。例如,如果第一信号的质量小于或者等于第二阈值,则终端不会向网络设备请求第二配置信息。
步骤502,网络设备根据第二信息,向终端发送第一配置信息和/或第二配置信息。对应的,终端接收第一配置信息和/或第二配置信息。
也可以理解为,网络设备根据终端的第二信息,确定唤醒接收机的能力和主接收机的能力是否相同。
场景(1)
在一种可能的实现方式中,网络设备可以根据唤醒接收机的灵敏度信息,确定唤醒接收机的能力与主接收机的能力相同。此时,网络设备可以向终端发送第一配置信息和第二配置信息,具体可以参照方法300中的步骤301中的描述。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,网络设备根据第一信号的质量和第二阈值,确定唤醒接收机的能力与主接收机的能力相同。例如,第一信号的质量大于或者等于第二阈值,则确定唤醒接收机的能力与主接收机的能力相同。此时,网络设备可以向终端发送第一配置信息和第二配置信息。具体可以参照方法300中的步骤301中的描述。
场景(2)
在一种可能的实现方式中,网络设备可以根据唤醒接收机的灵敏度信息,确定唤醒接收机的能力与主接收机的能力不同。此时,网络设备可以向终端发送第一配置信息,具体可以参照方法400中的步骤401中的描述进行理解。或者,网络设备向终端发送第一配置信息和第二配置信息,但是指示终端不必接收第二配置信息。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,网络设备根据第一信号的质量和第二阈值,确定唤醒接收机的能力与主接收机的能力不同。例如,第一信号的质量小于或者等于第二阈值,则确定唤醒接收机的能力与主接收机的能力不同。此时,网络设备可以只向终端发送第一配置信息。具体可以参照方法400中的步骤401中的描述进行理解。或者,网络设备向终端发送第一配置信息和第二配置信息,但是指示终端不必接收第二配置信息。
在一种可能的实现方式中,如果唤醒接收机和主接收机的能力相同或者基本相同,则步骤503为:终端根据第一配置信息,接收第一信号,和/或,终端根据第二配置信息,接收一个或者多个第二信号。具体可以参见方法300中的步骤302的描述进行理解。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,如果唤醒接收机和主接收机的能力不同,则步骤503为:终端根据第一配置信息,接收第一信号。具体可以参见方法400中的步骤402的描述进行理解。
基于上述技术方案,本申请中,终端可以向网络设备指示唤醒接收机的能力与主接收机的能力是否相同,使得网络设备确定发第一配置信息和/第二配置信息,从而,使得终端在移动过程中,可以根据实际需求测量驻留小区的信号质量和/或邻小区的信号质量。不仅节省了终端的功耗,还实现了对驻留小区和/或邻小区的测量。
