Description

A timer setting method and platform based on PSM mechanism

technical field

The invention relates to the technical field of Internet of Things wireless communication, in particular to a timer setting method and platform based on a PSM mechanism.

Background technique

With the development of sensing equipment and mobile communication technology, communication is moving from the connection between people to the connection between people and things, and the connection between things and things. Currently existing communication technologies include short-range wireless communication technologies such as WIFI, Bluetooth, and ZigBee, and mobile cellular communication technologies such as 2G/3G/4G. The advantages of short-range wireless communication technology are low deployment cost, low power consumption and high transmission rate, and the disadvantage is short transmission distance. The coverage distance of the mobile cellular communication network is wider, but the Internet of Things devices based on mobile cellular communication technology consume a lot of power and cost, and the carrying capacity of the mobile cellular communication network is not enough to support the connection between objects.

NB-IoT (Narrow Band-Internet of Things, narrowband cellular Internet of Things) and eMTC (enhancedMachine-Type Communication, enhanced machine type communication) are the main connection technologies of the Internet of Things, both of which have large capacity, wide coverage, and low power consumption. power consumption, low cost and high stability.

Both NB-IoT and eMTC reduce terminal power consumption through the PSM mechanism (PowerSaving Mode, low power consumption mode) to obtain a longer life cycle. The principle of the PSM mechanism is to allow the UE (User Equipment, user equipment) to turn off the signal sending and receiving and access layer related functions after entering the idle state for a period of time, so as to reduce the power consumption caused by the antenna, radio frequency and signaling processing. After the UE finishes processing the data, the RRC connection (Radio Resource Control, radio resource control) is released, the UE enters an idle state and starts a timer, and when the timer expires, the UE enters a PSM state. Although the setting of the PSM state can effectively reduce the power consumption of the UE, the timer in the prior art cannot adjust the time for the UE to enter the PSM state according to different services, thus causing the UE to fail to save power to the greatest extent.

Detailed ways

In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the technical solution in the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, and Not all examples. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a timer setting method based on the PSM mechanism provided by Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 1, the method includes the following steps:

Step 101. Generate the current service reporting time interval according to the service reporting time.

Step 102: Obtain the classification category corresponding to the current service reporting time interval according to the pre-generated classification table and the current service reporting time interval.

Step 103: Set the current timer time corresponding to the service according to the classification category.

The timer setting method based on the PSM mechanism provided in this embodiment generates the time interval for reporting the business according to the reporting time of the business, and obtains the classification corresponding to the reporting time interval for the business according to the pre-generated classification table and the reporting time interval for the business category, setting the current timer time corresponding to the service according to the classification category, and adjusting the timer time according to different services, thereby effectively reducing power consumption.

FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart of a timer setting method based on a PSM mechanism provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2 , the method includes the following steps:

Step 201, read and store the business reporting time.

Preferably, each step in this embodiment is executed by a timer setting platform based on the PSM mechanism.

Read the time point when the UE reports the service, and this time point is the service reporting time. The service reporting time is the time point when the timer starts counting.

In this embodiment, each UE only processes one kind of service by default.

Step 202: Generate the current service reporting time interval according to the service reporting time.

by formula Generate this service reporting time interval, where ΔT _i represents the i-th service reporting time interval, T _i represents the i-th service reporting time, T _i+1 represents the i+1-th service reporting time, and T _i-1 represents The time of the i-1th service reporting, T _i-2 represents the time of the i-2th service reporting. The time interval for reporting the i-th business is the time interval for reporting the business this time. The unit of the service reporting interval can be hours. For example: The service reporting interval is 1 hour.

For example: generate the first business reporting time interval based on the first business reporting time and the second business reporting time, and generate the second business reporting time based on the first business reporting time, the second business reporting time and the third business online reporting time Sub-service reporting time interval. The reporting time interval of this service described in this embodiment is a predicted reporting time interval, not the actual reporting time interval of this service. This embodiment predicts the time interval of this service report according to the actual time interval of the previous three service reporting times, so that the advance prediction of the time interval of this service report can be realized, and the prediction setting of the timer time can be further realized.

Step 203: Obtain the classification category corresponding to the current service reporting time interval according to the pre-generated classification table and the current service reporting time interval.

The pre-generated classification table can be shown in Table 1 below:

Table I

For example: if the reporting time interval of this business is 0.3, the classification category corresponding to the reporting time interval of this business is category 1. For a certain business, as the reporting time interval of this business changes, the classification category corresponding to the reporting time interval of this business may change dynamically.

Step 204: Set the current timer time corresponding to the service according to the classification category.

Preferably, the timer described in this embodiment is an active timer T3324. The time of the activity timer T3324 is set to (T3324, 0-255s), under the 9 categories shown in Table 1, set 9 different time values corresponding to the 9 categories (2 ⁰ s, 2 ¹ s , 2 ² s, 2 ³ s, 2 ⁴ s, 2 ⁵ s, 2 ⁶ s, 2 ⁷ s and (2 ⁸ -1)s). The timer time in this embodiment is: 2 ⁰ s, 2 ¹ s, 2 ² s, 2 ³ s, 2 ⁴ s, 2 ⁵ s, 2 ⁶ s, 2 ⁷ s and (2 ⁸ -1) s kind of.

Specifically, the current timer time corresponding to a certain service can be set according to the table shown in Table 2 below.

Table II

Wherein, the shorter the time interval for service reporting, the larger the corresponding current timer time. The longer the time interval for service reporting, the shorter the corresponding current timer time. For frequently reported services, the timer time is longer, which can prevent the UE from frequently entering the PSM state, thereby reducing UE power consumption. For services reported infrequently, the timer time is relatively short, which can enable the UE to quickly enter the PSM state, thereby reducing UE power consumption.

It is worth noting that this embodiment only provides the timer setting method when the timer is the active timer T3324, but the timer setting method in this embodiment is not limited to setting the timer for the active timer T3324, other types The timer setting method can also be applied to the method shown in this embodiment.
