Detailed Description

To make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure more apparent, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, explanations are made for terms involved in the present disclosure:

discontinuous Reception (DRX): DRX can allow the terminal to periodically enter a sleep period at some time without monitoring Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) scheduling information (or PDCCH subframe). And when the terminal needs to monitor the PDCCH scheduling information, the terminal wakes up from the sleep period, so that the terminal can achieve the purpose of saving power.

The basic mechanism of DRX is to configure one DRX cycle (DRX cycle) for a terminal in a Radio Resource Control CONNECTED (RRC _ CONNECTED) state. The DRX cycle is composed of an "active period (On Duration)" and a "dormant period (Opportunity for DRX)": in the time of an 'activation period', the terminal monitors and receives PDCCH scheduling information; in the 'sleep period' time, the terminal does not receive the data of the downlink channel to save power consumption. As can be seen from fig. 1, in the time domain, time is divided into successive DRX cycles (cycles).

International Mobile Subscriber identity Number (IMSI): is a mark for distinguishing the terminal device and is stored in the SIM card. The total length of the device does not exceed 15 bits, and 0-9 figures are used. The MCC is a country code number of the terminal equipment, occupies 3 digits, and is specified as 460 in China; the MNC is a mobile network number, is used for identifying a mobile communication network to which the terminal device belongs, and is composed of two or three digits, and an exemplary Mobile Network Code (MNC) of the chinese mobile is 00; MSIN is a terminal equipment identity used to identify terminal equipment in a mobile communication network.

As shown in fig. 2, fig. 2 shows a block diagram of a communication system provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, which includes a second terminal 11, an access network 12 and a first terminal 13.

Several network devices 120 are included in access network 12. Network device 120 may be a base station, which is a device deployed in an access network to provide wireless communication functionality for terminals. The base stations may include various forms of macro base stations, micro base stations, relay stations, access points, and the like. In systems using different radio access technologies, the names of devices with base station functionality may differ, for example in LTE systems, called eNodeB or eNB; in a 5G NR-U system, it is called gNodeB or gNB. The description of "base station" may change as communication technology evolves. For convenience of this embodiment, the above-mentioned devices providing the terminal device 13 with the wireless communication function are collectively referred to as a network device.

The first terminal 13 may include various handheld devices having wireless communication functions, car-mounted devices, computing devices or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem, as well as various forms of user equipment, Mobile Stations (MSs), terminals (terminal devices), and so on. For convenience of description, the above-mentioned devices are collectively referred to as a terminal. The access network device 120 and the first terminal 13 communicate with each other through some air interface technology, for example, a Uu interface.

The second terminal 11 has the capability of connecting with the network device 120. Optionally, the connection between the second terminal and the network device 120 includes a Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) connection and a cellular mobile network connection, and the second terminal 11 implements communication with the network device 120 through the connection with the network device 120.

Optionally, the connection between the second terminal 11 and the first terminal 13 includes Near Field Communication (NFC), bluetooth connection, Device to Device (D2D) Communication, WiFi, and USB. In one possible example, the second terminal 11 is connected to the first terminal 13 by means of a bluetooth connection, and data transmission between the second terminal 11 and the first terminal 13 is possible.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a method for listening to a paging message according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, which may be applied to the first terminal, the second terminal and the network device shown in fig. 2, and the method includes the following steps:

step 301, the network device sends a paging message to the second terminal;

the second terminal is a terminal device that may have the capability to connect with the first terminal and also the capability to connect with the network device. Currently, the second terminal is connected with the first terminal and is in a sleep state. The second terminal may be a Wearable Device (WD). Wearable devices refer to a portable device that can be worn directly on the body or integrated into a user's daily wear.

The wearable device can realize the data transmission function through the support of software, the interaction of data and the interaction of a cloud. The mainstream modalities of wearable devices include: watch (including wrist Watch, wrist band, etc.) supported by the wrist, Shoes (including leg wearing products such as Shoes and socks) supported by the foot, Glass (including head wearing products such as glasses, helmet, headband, etc.) supported by the head, and other products in non-mainstream forms.

The paging message is a message sent by the network device for the second terminal to inform the second terminal that there is soon traffic data for the second terminal.

Optionally, the network device sends the paging message through a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH).

Step 302, a first terminal monitors a paging message sent by a network device to a second terminal by adopting a target monitoring parameter;

the target monitoring parameter is a monitoring parameter used by the first terminal to monitor a paging message sent by the network device to the second terminal.

The first terminal is a terminal device that may have the capability to connect to the second terminal and also the capability to connect to the network device. Currently, a first terminal is connected with a second terminal. The first terminal may include various handheld devices, vehicle-mounted devices, computing devices or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem having wireless communication functions, as well as various forms of user equipment, Mobile Stations (MSs), and terminals (terminal devices).

At this time, the second terminal is in a sleep state, and the second terminal cannot monitor the paging message sent to the terminal by the network device.

The state of the first terminal may be an RRC _ CONNECTED state. In this state, the first terminal may listen for paging messages from the network device.

Alternatively, the first terminal may monitor the paging message in a DRX manner. In the time domain, time is divided into successive DRX cycles (cycles).

Optionally, in addition to the first terminal monitoring the paging message sent by the network device to the second terminal by using the target monitoring parameter, the first terminal may monitor the paging message sent by the network device to the first terminal by using the same target monitoring parameter, and the first terminal may also monitor the paging message sent by the network device to the first terminal by using a monitoring parameter different from the target monitoring parameter.

Step 303, the network device sends service data corresponding to the paging message to the second terminal (or the first terminal);

after sending the paging message for the second terminal, the network device sends service data corresponding to the paging message to the second terminal (or the first terminal). The service data may be voice data or video data, and the data type of the service data is not limited by the present disclosure.

And step 304, the first terminal and the second terminal cooperatively receive service data corresponding to the paging message through the target connection.

The target connection is a connection between the first terminal and the second terminal. Optionally, the connection between the second terminal and the first terminal includes but is not limited to: near field communication, bluetooth connection, D2D communication, WiFi, USB.

For example, the second terminal performs a target connection with the first terminal in a bluetooth connection manner, so that data transmission may be performed between the second terminal and the first terminal.

Cooperative reception refers to a second terminal receiving traffic data corresponding to a paging message for the second terminal with the aid of a first terminal.

Illustratively, the second terminal performs the target connection with the first terminal through a bluetooth connection. And the first terminal receives the service data corresponding to the paging message of the second terminal, and forwards the service data to the second terminal through Bluetooth. Or the first terminal informs the second terminal of the arrival of the service data through the Bluetooth, and the second terminal actively establishes connection with the network equipment to further receive the service data.

After the first terminal monitors the paging message of the network device for the second terminal, the second terminal can be awakened, and the first terminal and the second terminal cooperatively receive the service data corresponding to the paging message through the target connection.

In the above step, the second terminal may maintain the registration information in the core network. Accordingly, the network device may determine that the second terminal is in an online state according to the registration information.

In summary, according to the method implemented in this embodiment, when a first terminal (e.g., a mobile phone) and a second terminal (e.g., a wearable device) are in a connected state, the first terminal device monitors a paging message sent by a network device to the second terminal by using a target monitoring parameter, and cooperatively receives service data corresponding to the monitored paging message with the second terminal, so that a method for monitoring the paging message is provided, in which the first terminal helps to receive the paging message for the second terminal, and therefore, the paging message is prevented from being missed because the second terminal is in a sleep state, an effect of keeping online is achieved, but power consumption of the second terminal is reduced.

The target listening parameter in the above embodiment may be one of the following two parameters:

first, a first DRX parameter of a first terminal.

The first terminal monitors the paging message sent by the network device to the second terminal by adopting the DRX parameter of the first terminal, namely the first DRX parameter.

And secondly, a second DRX parameter of the second terminal.

The first terminal monitors the paging message sent by the network equipment to the second terminal by adopting the DRX parameter of the second terminal, namely the second DRX parameter.

The present disclosure provides two different target monitoring parameters, which may be a first DRX parameter of a first terminal or a second DRX parameter of a second terminal, thereby improving the flexibility of configuration.

Fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a method for listening to a paging message according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The present embodiment may be implemented in combination with the embodiment shown in fig. 3, or may be implemented separately. In this embodiment, the target listening parameter is a first DRX parameter of the first terminal. In this embodiment, the method includes the following steps:

step 401, a first terminal sends a first DRX parameter and an identifier of the first terminal to a second terminal;

the first DRX parameter is a DRX parameter employed by the first terminal.

Optionally, the first terminal may transmit the first DRX parameter and the identifier of the first terminal simultaneously, or may transmit the first DRX parameter and the identifier of the first terminal separately. The present disclosure does not impose restrictions on the order and form of transmitting the two pieces of information, nor on the signaling used by the first terminal to transmit the two pieces of information.

Optionally, the first DRX parameter includes: paging occasion, paging cycle. The network device may transmit a paging message for the second terminal using a paging occasion within the first DRX parameters, the paging occasion occurring periodically within a paging cycle. One paging cycle may include one or more paging occasions.

The identity of the first terminal is the identity used to identify the first terminal in the different terminal equipment.

The first terminal is typically equipped with a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card. Alternatively, the Identity of the first terminal may be an identifier in the SIM card, such as an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) and a Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity (TMSI). It should be understood that the identity of the first terminal is not limited to include IMSI and TMSI, but may be other information, such as Personal Identification Number (PIN), which is not limited by the present disclosure.

Step 402, the second terminal receives the first DRX parameter and the identifier of the first terminal;

the second terminal receives the first DRX parameter sent by the first terminal and the identification of the first terminal so as to facilitate the reconfiguration of the DRX parameter of the second terminal.

Step 403, the second terminal reports the first notification message to the network device;

the first notification message is used for notifying the network equipment of the first DRX parameter and the identification of the first terminal. Step 404, the network device receives a first notification message;

the network device determines that the DRX parameter of the second terminal needs to be reconfigured by receiving the first notification message. Since the first notification message carries the first DRX parameter and the identifier of the first terminal, the network device may explicitly change the DRX parameter of the second terminal from the second DRX parameter to the first DRX parameter.

In the above steps 401 to 404, the second terminal notifies the network device to reconfigure the DRX parameters of the second terminal. In an optional example, the first terminal may also notify the network device to reconfigure the DRX parameters of the second terminal, and steps 401 to 404 may be alternatively implemented as steps 4011 to 4012 as follows:

step 4011: the first terminal sends a third notification message to the network equipment;

the third notification message is used for notifying the network device to reconfigure the DRX parameters of the second terminal to the second terminal, and configure the DRX parameters as the first DRX parameters of the first terminal.

Step 4012, the network device receives the third notification message.

And the network equipment determines that the DRX parameters of the second terminal need to be reconfigured by receiving the third notification message.

Step 405, the network device sends reconfiguration information to the second terminal;

the reconfiguration information is used for informing the second terminal that the DRX parameters are changed from the second DRX parameters to the first DRX parameters.

Step 406, the second terminal receives the reconfiguration information;

optionally, the second terminal receives reconfiguration information sent from the network device, where the reconfiguration information may be carried by a high-level signaling, and changes the DRX parameter of the second terminal from the second DRX parameter to the first DRX parameter.

Step 407, the network device sends a paging message to the second terminal;

Step 408, the first terminal monitors a paging message sent by the network device to the second terminal by using the first DRX parameter;

Optionally, in addition to the first terminal monitoring the paging message sent by the network device to the second terminal by using the first DRX parameter, the first terminal may also monitor the paging message sent by the network device to the first terminal by using the first DRX parameter.

Step 409, the network equipment sends service data corresponding to the paging message to the second terminal (or the first terminal);

Step 410, the first terminal and the second terminal cooperatively receive service data corresponding to the paging message through the target connection.

In an optional embodiment, the paging message is scrambled with an identifier of the second terminal, further comprising the steps of:

the second terminal sends the identification of the second terminal to the first terminal;

a first terminal receives an identifier of a second terminal sent by the second terminal;

the network device scrambles the paging message by using the identifier of the second terminal.

Wherein the identifier of the second terminal is a flag for identifying the second terminal in a different terminal device. Optionally, the Network device scrambles a Paging Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) using a Paging-Radio Network Temporary Identity (P-RNTI), and a PDSCH transmitting the Paging message includes an Identity of the second terminal.

The second terminal is also typically equipped with a SIM card. Alternatively, the identity of the second terminal may be an identification code in the SIM card, such as IMSI and TMSI. It should be understood that the identifier of the second terminal is not limited to include the IMSI and the TMSI, but may be other information, such as a Personal Identification Number (PIN), which is not limited in this disclosure.

In summary, according to the method provided in this embodiment, when a first terminal (e.g., a mobile phone) and a second terminal (e.g., a wearable device) are in a connected state, the first terminal device monitors a paging message sent by a network device to the second terminal by using a target monitoring parameter, and cooperatively receives service data corresponding to the monitored paging message with the second terminal, so that a method for monitoring the paging message is provided, in which the first terminal helps to receive the paging message for the second terminal, and therefore, it is avoided that the second terminal is in a sleep state, the paging message is missed, an effect of keeping online is achieved, but power consumption of the second terminal is reduced.

In the method provided by this embodiment, the first terminal directly determines the first DRX parameter of the first terminal as the target monitoring parameter, and the second terminal notifies the network device of the event, so that the network device can adjust the DRX parameter configuration for the second terminal, thereby improving the interaction accuracy.

In the method provided by this embodiment, the paging message is scrambled by using the identifier of the second terminal, and the first terminal identifies the paging message for the second terminal through the identifier, thereby improving the monitoring efficiency.

Fig. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a method for listening to a paging message according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The present embodiment may be implemented by combining the two embodiments shown in fig. 3 and fig. 4, or may be implemented separately. In this embodiment, the target listening parameter is a second DRX parameter of the second terminal. In this embodiment, the method includes the following steps:

step 501, the second terminal sends a second DRX parameter to the first terminal;

optionally, the second DRX parameter includes: paging occasion, paging cycle. The network device may transmit a paging message for the second terminal using a paging occasion within the second DRX parameters. Paging occasions occur periodically within a paging cycle. One paging cycle may include one or more paging occasions.

Step 502, the first terminal receives the second DRX parameter.

The first terminal monitors the paging message sent by the network device to the second terminal according to the second DRX parameter by receiving the second DRX parameter.

Step 503, the network device sends a paging message to the second terminal;

Step 504, the first terminal monitors the paging message sent by the network device to the second terminal by using the second DRX parameter;

Optionally, in addition to the first terminal monitoring the paging message sent by the network device to the second terminal by using the second DRX parameter, the first terminal may also monitor the paging message sent by the network device to the first terminal by using the first DRX parameter.

Step 505, the network device sends service data corresponding to the paging message to the second terminal (or the first terminal);

Step 506, the first terminal and the second terminal cooperatively receive the service data corresponding to the paging message through the target connection.

The identifier of the second terminal is used for identifying the identifier of the second terminal in different terminal equipment. Optionally, the network device scrambles the paging PDCCH by using the P-RNTI, and the PDSCH transmitting the paging message includes the identity of the second terminal.

The second terminal is also typically equipped with a SIM card. Alternatively, the identity of the second terminal may be an identification code in the SIM card, such as IMSI and TMSI. It should be understood that the identity of the second terminal is not limited to include the IMSI and the TMSI, but may be other information, such as a personal identification number, and the disclosure is not limited thereto.

In summary, according to the method provided in this embodiment, when a first terminal (e.g., a mobile phone) and a second terminal (e.g., a wearable device) are in a connected state, the first terminal device monitors a paging message sent by a network device to the second terminal by using a target monitoring parameter, and cooperatively receives service data corresponding to the monitored paging message with the second terminal, so that a method for monitoring the paging message is provided, the first terminal helps to receive the paging message for the second terminal, and the paging message is prevented from being missed because the second terminal is in a sleep state, so that an effect of keeping online is achieved, but power consumption of the second terminal is reduced.

In the method provided by this embodiment, the first terminal determines the second DRX parameter as the target monitoring parameter by receiving the second DRX parameter sent by the second terminal, so that the network device can send the paging message for the second terminal according to the original DRX parameter configuration, thereby simplifying the configuration of the network device.

In an alternative embodiment based on fig. 3, fig. 6 shows a flowchart of a method for listening to a paging message according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. In this embodiment, the method further includes steps 305 to 308:

305, the second terminal sends a monitoring request to the first terminal;

the monitoring request is used for requesting the first terminal to monitor a paging message sent by the network equipment to the second terminal.

The second terminal cannot monitor the paging message sent by the network device because the second terminal is in the sleep state. Before the first terminal assists the second terminal in monitoring the paging message, the second terminal may send a monitoring request to the first terminal, requesting the first terminal to monitor the paging message sent by the network device to the second terminal.

Step 306, the first terminal receives the monitoring request;

step 307, the first terminal sends first feedback information to the second terminal;

the first feedback information is used for informing the first terminal that the monitoring request is approved.

After receiving the monitoring request, the first terminal feeds back the monitoring request by sending first feedback information.

308, the second terminal receives the first feedback information;

optionally, the steps after step 308 are performed after the first terminal receives the first feedback information, which makes it clear that the second terminal agrees to help listen to the paging message for itself.

In an optional example, the first terminal determines whether to accept the listening request sent by the second terminal according to its own capability information. There are two cases as follows:

case 1: the method comprises the steps that a first terminal sends first feedback information to a second terminal under the condition that capability information of the first terminal meets monitoring conditions;

and the second terminal receives the first feedback information sent by the first terminal.

Case 2: the first terminal sends second feedback information to the second terminal under the condition that the capability information of the first terminal does not meet the monitoring condition;

and the second terminal receives the second feedback information sent by the first terminal.

The second feedback information is used for informing the first terminal to reject the monitoring request.

Optionally, after receiving the second feedback information, the second terminal may initiate a detach (detach) procedure to logout the information in the core network, or directly disconnect from the network device.

Optionally, the capability information includes at least one of the following information: whether the first terminal supports monitoring a paging message sent to the second terminal; a state of charge of the first terminal.

Illustratively, the capability information includes: whether the first terminal supports monitoring a paging message sent to the second terminal; the corresponding monitoring conditions are as follows: the first terminal supports listening for paging messages sent to the second terminal.

For the first terminal UE1, UE1 supports listening to paging messages sent to the second terminal, then UE1 sends a first feedback message to the first terminal, granting the listening request. For the first terminal UE2, UE2 does not support listening to paging messages sent to the second terminal, then UE2 sends a second feedback message to the first terminal rejecting the listening request.

Illustratively, the capability information includes: whether the first terminal supports monitoring a paging message sent to the second terminal or not, and the electric quantity state of the first terminal; the corresponding monitoring conditions are as follows: the first terminal supports monitoring the paging message sent to the second terminal, and the electric quantity of the first terminal needs to be more than 50% of the self battery capacity.

For the first terminal UE1, UE1 supports monitoring the paging message sent to the second terminal, and the power of the first terminal is 70% of its own battery capacity, then UE1 sends a first feedback message to the first terminal, agreeing to the monitoring request. For the first terminal UE2, UE2 does not support listening to paging messages sent to the second terminal, then UE2 sends a second feedback message to the first terminal rejecting the listening request. For the first terminal UE3, UE3 supports monitoring the paging message sent to the second terminal, and the power of the first terminal is 20% of its own battery capacity, then UE3 sends a second feedback message to the first terminal, rejecting the monitoring request.

In the method provided by this embodiment, before the first terminal helps receive the paging message for the second terminal, the first terminal sends the first feedback information when the monitoring condition is satisfied and sends the second feedback information when the monitoring condition is not satisfied by receiving the monitoring request sent by the second terminal according to the capability information of the first terminal, thereby avoiding redundant transmission overhead.

In an alternative embodiment based on fig. 3, the network device may send service data corresponding to the paging message to the second terminal, that is, in case one, or send service data corresponding to the paging message to the first terminal, that is, in case two.

The first condition is as follows: as shown in fig. 7, the network device sends service data corresponding to the paging message to the second terminal, and step 304 is alternatively implemented as step 30411, step 30412, and step 30413:

step 30411, after monitoring the paging message, the first terminal sends a second notification message to the second terminal;

the second notification message is used for notifying the second terminal to connect to the network device to receive the service data corresponding to the paging message.

Step 30412, the second terminal receives the second notification message through the target connection;

optionally, the first terminal receives service data corresponding to the paging message from the network device.

Step 30422, the first terminal forwards the service data corresponding to the paging message to the second terminal through the target connection;

the forwarding request is used for requesting the network device to send service data corresponding to the paging message to the first terminal.

Step 30425, the network device receives the forwarding request sent by the first terminal;

step 30426, the network device sends a third feedback message to the first terminal, where the third feedback message is a message that the network device agrees to the forwarding request.

After receiving the forwarding request, the network device feeds back the forwarding request by sending third feedback information.

Step 30427, the first terminal receives the third feedback message sent by the network device.

And the first terminal sends the service data corresponding to the paging message to the first terminal after receiving the service data under the condition of receiving the third feedback message.

In the method provided by this embodiment, when the first terminal monitors the paging message for the second terminal, two different methods for receiving the service data corresponding to the paging message are provided, one is to wake up the second terminal to receive the service data, and the other is to forward the service data to the second terminal by the first terminal, which improves the flexibility of configuration.
