Description

A method, user equipment and system for determining a discontinuous reception period

technical field

The present invention relates to the field of computer technology, in particular to a method for determining a discontinuous reception period, user equipment and a system.

Background technique

In order to reduce the power consumption of the user equipment (UserEquipment, UE), the concept of Discontinuous Reception (DRX) is introduced. In the idle (IDLE) state or the paging channel (paging channel, PCH) state, the UE only needs to The location monitors the paging indicator (PagingIndicator, PI), and does not need to be in the monitoring state all the time.

In order to further reduce the power consumption of the UE, a Fast Dormancy (FD) feature is introduced. The main idea of FD is that when there is no data to send, the UE actively notifies the network side device through a special signaling connection release message. After the network side device receives the signaling connection release message, it can know that the UE has no data needs temporarily. To send, the network side device can directly transfer the UE from the PCH state to the IDLE state.

The process of FD processing involving the DRX cycle is that the UE enters the IDLE state from the PCH state by sending a signaling connection release message to the network side device. The DRX cycle in the IDLE state is shorter than the DRX cycle in the PCH state, which not only does not reduce the power of the UE. Consumption, but increased UE power consumption.

Detailed ways

The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for determining the discontinuous reception period, which can maximize the discontinuous reception period used by the UE and reduce the power consumption of the UE. Moreover, when the DRX cycle in the idle state is not greater than the DRX cycle in the PCH state, there is no need to send a signaling connection release request message, which reduces the signaling load of the network. Embodiments of the present invention also provide corresponding user equipment and systems. Each will be described in detail below.

In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solutions of the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only It is an embodiment of a part of the present invention, but not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

Referring to Fig. 1, an embodiment of the method for determining the discontinuous reception period provided by the implementation of the present invention includes:

S100. When the user equipment UE is ready to enter the idle state in the PCH state, acquire the DRX cycle in the PCH state and the DRX cycle in the idle state.

When there is no data to be sent in the PCH state, the UE can prepare to enter the idle state, which can also be understood as preparing to start the fast sleep FD.

The network side device is configured with UTRANDRX cycle, DRX cycle of CS domain core network (CoreNetwork, CN) and DRX cycle of PS domain CN in PCH state. Select the smallest one among the cycles as the DRX cycle used in the PCH state. However, the DRX cycle of the CN in the CS domain cannot be used when there is a signaling connection in the CS domain, and the DRX cycle of the CN in the PS domain cannot be used when there is a signaling connection in the PS domain.

S105 , judging whether the DRX cycle in the PCH state is smaller than the DRX cycle in the idle state, if yes, execute step S110 , and if no, execute step S115 .

In the embodiment of the present invention, the judgment is not performed immediately after entering the PCH state, but the t323 timer is started after entering the PCH state, and it is judged whether the DRX cycle of the PCH state is shorter than the DRX cycle of the idle state after t323 times out. In this embodiment, the DRX cycle in the PCH state can be understood as the DRX cycle being used in the PCH state. If the UTRANDRX cycle is selected in step S100, then the DRX cycle in the PCH state is the UTRANDRX cycle.

S110. When the DRX cycle in the idle state is greater than the DRX cycle in the PCH state, send a signaling connection release request message to the network side device.

At this time, the DRX cycle in the PCH state is the cycle obtained in step S100, which may be the UTRAN DRX cycle or the DRX cycle of the CN, whichever is obtained in step S100.

When it is determined that the DRX cycle in the idle state is greater than the DRX cycle in the PCH state, it can be determined that the UE will use a larger DRX cycle after entering the idle state, thereby reducing power consumption of the UE. Then send a signaling connection release message to the network side device, and the network side device transfers the UE to the idle state according to the signaling connection release message, and after the UE enters the idle state, it uses the discontinuous reception cycle of the idle state to monitor all The paging indication sent by the network side device reduces the power consumption of the UE.

S115. When the DRX cycle of the idle state is not greater than the DRX cycle of the PCH state, keep in the paging channel state.

In this embodiment of the present invention, "not greater than" means less than or equal to two situations.

When the DRX cycle of the idle state is not greater than the DRX cycle of the PCH state, even if the UE enters the idle state, the power consumption of the UE cannot be reduced, because the DRX cycle of the idle state is not greater than the DRX cycle of the PCH state, Moreover, it is necessary to send a signaling connection release message to the network side device, which increases the signaling load of the network on the contrary.

Therefore, when the DRX cycle of the idle state is not greater than the DRX cycle of the PCH state, it remains in the paging channel state, and uses the discontinuous reception cycle of the paging channel state to monitor the information sent by the network side device. Paging indication. Not only can the power consumption of the UE be reduced, but also the signaling load of the network can be reduced.

Referring to FIG. 2, an embodiment of the method for determining the discontinuous reception period provided by the implementation of the present invention includes:

The network side device may configure two discontinuous reception periods with different sizes for the UE.

S200. When the user equipment UE is in the PCH state and is about to enter the idle state, it is using the first PCH state DRX cycle to obtain the second PCH state DRX cycle and the idle state DRX cycle. The first PCH state DRX cycle is when the UE enters the PCH state according to the predetermined The first DRX cycle is set, and the second PCH state DRX cycle is the DRX cycle after the UE enters the PCH state according to the preset order.

The two discontinuous reception cycles are used in the paging channel state according to the preset sequence.

When there is no data to be sent in the PCH state, the UE can prepare to enter the idle state, which can also be understood as preparing to start the fast sleep FD.

The network side device pre-configures two PCH state DRX cycles for the UE's PCH state, which are the first PCH state DRX cycle and the second PCH state DRX cycle. After the UE enters the PCH state, usually the first PCH state DRX cycle is shorter than the second PCH state DRX cycle. Two PCH state DRX cycles, so first use the first PCH state DRX cycle to monitor the paging indication, so as to quickly respond to the paging of the network side device. After using the first PCH state DRX cycle, you can start a timer, such as: t319 timing device, the time length of the 319 timer is set as the preset time length. If the UE does not receive paging within the time length of the 319 timer, after the timer expires, the second PCH state DRX is used to periodically monitor the paging indication, which can reduce the power consumption of the UE.

S205. Determine whether the DRX cycle in the second PCH state is shorter than the DRX cycle in the idle state. If yes, execute S210 when the DRX cycle in the second PCH state is greater than the DRX cycle in the first PCH state, and execute S220 if the DRX cycle in the second PCH state is shorter than the DRX cycle in the idle state.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the judgment is not performed immediately after entering the PCH state, but the t323 timer is started after entering the PCH state, and it is judged whether the DRX cycle of the second PCH state is shorter than the DRX cycle of the idle state after t323 times out.

When comparing the size relationship with the DRX cycle in the idle state, the DRX cycle in the second PCH state is directly used for comparison, because after the timer expires, the UE will use the DRX cycle in the second PCH state.

S210. After the comparison, it is determined that the DRX cycle in the second PCH state is shorter than the DRX cycle in the idle state, buffering the signaling connection release message for a preset time.

The purpose of caching the signaling connection release message is to let the UE continue to use the DRX cycle in the first PCH state within the preset time, because when the DRX cycle in the first PCH state is shorter than the DRX cycle in the second PCH state, the UE uses the DRX cycle in the first PCH state. It can quickly respond to the paging of the network side device within the preset time.

S215. Send a signaling connection release message to the network side device.

When the DRX cycle in the second PCH state is shorter than the DRX cycle in the first PCH state, after comparing and determining that the DRX cycle in the second PCH state is smaller than the DRX cycle in the idle state, directly send a signaling connection release message to the network side device. The UE sends a signaling connection release message to the network-side device, and the network-side device transfers the UE to the idle state according to the signaling connection release message. After the UE enters the idle state, it uses the discontinuous reception cycle of the idle state to monitor all The paging indication sent by the network side device reduces the power consumption of the UE.

S220. After the comparison, determine that the DRX cycle in the second PCH state is not less than the DRX cycle in the idle state, and keep in the paging channel state.

When the DRX cycle of the idle state is not greater than the DRX cycle of the PCH state, even if the UE enters the idle state, the power consumption of the UE cannot be reduced, because the DRX cycle of the idle state is not greater than the DRX cycle of the PCH state, Moreover, it is necessary to send a signaling connection release message to the network side device, which increases the signaling load of the network on the contrary.

Therefore, when the DRX cycle of the idle state is not greater than the DRX cycle of the PCH state, it remains in the paging channel state, and uses the discontinuous reception cycle of the paging channel state to monitor the information sent by the network side device. Paging indication. Not only can the power consumption of the UE be reduced, but also the signaling load of the network can be reduced.

The idle state remains in the PCH state, so that the discontinuous reception cycle used by the UE is maximized, and the power consumption of the UE is reduced.
