[0027] In order to enable a more detailed understanding of the features and technical contents of the embodiments of the present application, the implementation of the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The attached drawings are for reference only and are not used to limit the embodiments of the present invention.

[0028] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish different objects rather than to describe a specific order. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include steps or units that are not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units that are inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0029] It should be understood that the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application can be applied to new wireless (NR) systems or future communication systems, and can also be used in various other wireless communication systems, such as: Narrow Band-Internet of Things (NB-IoT) system, Global System of Mobile communication (GSM), Enhanced Data rate for GSM Evolution (EDGE) system, Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) system, Code Division Multiple Access 2000 (CDMA2000) system, Time Division-Synchronization Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) system, General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, LTE Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) system, LTE Time Division Duplex (TDD), Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), etc.

[0030] Figure 1 A network architecture that may be applicable to the embodiments of the present application is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the network architecture provided in this embodiment includes: network device 101 and terminal device 102. The terminal devices involved in the embodiments of the present application may include various handheld devices with wireless communication functions, vehicle-mounted devices, wearable devices, computing devices or other electronic devices connected to wireless modems, as well as various forms of user terminal devices (terminal device) or mobile stations (MobileStation, MS), etc. The network device involved in the embodiments of the present application is a device deployed in a wireless access network to provide wireless communication functions for terminal devices. In the embodiments of the present application, the network device can be, for example, Figure 1 The base station shown may include various forms of macro base stations, micro base stations, relay stations, access points and other electronic devices.

[0031] Figure 2 The method for selecting the SSB set provided by the present application may be applicable to the business scenarios, and the method provided by the embodiment of the present application can be applied to the discontinuous reception (DRX) mechanism of the terminal device. Specifically, the method provided by the embodiment of the present application can be applied to the idle DRX mechanism and the connected DRX (C-DRX) mechanism.

[0032] The idle state DRX mechanism is a paging mechanism. Figure 2 A DRX cycle is shown. In the paging mechanism, a terminal device in an idle state only monitors the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in a specific time period (such as a paging monitoring opportunity) to receive a paging message. At other times, the monitoring function can be turned off and the PDCCH is not monitored.

[0033] In addition, in the connected DRX mechanism, the terminal device can monitor the PDCCH in a specific time period (eg, continuous monitoring period C-DRX on-duration) to receive information transmitted by the network device, and does not monitor the PDCCH at other times (ie, non-monitoring periods).

[0034] In some embodiments, the paging monitoring timing and the continuous monitoring timing may be configured by the network device or may be predefined, and this is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0035] In actual applications, the terminal device needs to pre-synchronize with the network device before the paging monitoring opportunity or the continuous monitoring opportunity, and the terminal device also needs to perform neighboring area measurement based on the switching requirements. In other words, the terminal device needs to open a window to receive the pre-synchronization SSB before the paging monitoring opportunity or the continuous monitoring opportunity to complete the pre-synchronization with the network device. In addition, the terminal device can also open a window to receive the neighboring area measurement SSB when there is a switching requirement to achieve neighboring area measurement.

[0036] refer to Figure 3 A flow chart of a method for receiving SSB in a related art is shown. Specifically, the method for receiving SSB in the related art may include the following steps:

[0037] Step 301, enter 5G standby mode.

[0038] Step 302: Determine the time domain position of the paging frame (PF) / paging occasion (PO) and monitoring occasion (MO).

[0039] Here, the terminal device can determine the time domain position of PF / PO based on the network configuration and the identification information (Identity document, ID) of the terminal device, or calculate the time domain position of MO based on the current beam.

[0040] Step 303: Determine the number of received pre-synchronization SSBs according to the time domain position of PO / PF / MO.

[0041] In the related art, the terminal device can determine a preset number (for example, one or two) of SSBs for pre-synchronization according to the time domain position of PO / PF / MO. For the sake of ease of expression, this application will refer to the SSB determined for pre-synchronization as a pre-synchronization SSB. Among them, the pre-synchronization SSB is used to achieve pre-synchronization between the terminal device and the network device. Specifically, the terminal device can perform operations such as automatic gain control (AGC) or automatic frequency control (AFC) according to the pre-synchronization SSB.

[0042] Step 304: Select a pre-synchronization SSB according to the number of pre-synchronization SSBs received.

[0043] Here, the terminal device can determine the pre-synchronization SSB that meets the reception number based on the determined reception number of the pre-synchronization SSB.

[0044] Step 305: Determine whether to perform neighboring cell measurement.

[0045] Here, if the terminal device needs to perform neighboring cell measurement, step 306 is executed; if the terminal device does not perform neighboring cell measurement, step 308 is executed.

[0046] Step 306: Determine the number of SSBs received by the neighboring cell according to the time domain position of PO / PF / MO.

[0047] Here, when neighboring cell measurement is required, the terminal device also needs to determine the SSB for neighboring cell measurement after PO / PF / MO. For ease of description, this application will refer to the SSB determined for neighboring cell measurement as the neighboring cell measurement SSB. Exemplarily, the terminal device can select a preset number of neighboring cell measurement SSBs based on the time domain position of PO / PF / MO.

[0048] Step 307: Select a neighboring cell measurement SSB based on the number of neighboring cell measurement SSBs received.

[0049] Here, the terminal device can determine the neighboring cell measurement SSB that meets the received number based on the determined neighboring cell measurement SSB received number.

[0050] Step 308: Receive the selected pre-synchronization SSB and / or neighbor cell measurement SSB.

[0051] After determining the pre-synchronization SSB and / or neighbor measurement SSB, the terminal device can determine the frequency and / or voltage of the terminal device at different time domain positions based on the positional relationship between the time domain position of PF / PO / MO and the time domain position of the determined SSB (which can be the pre-synchronization SSB or the neighbor measurement SSB). Corresponding to the changes in frequency and / or voltage, the terminal device can have multiple working modes, such as deep sleep mode, light sleep mode, activation mode, etc. Furthermore, the terminal device can receive the determined SSB according to the determined frequency and / or voltage at different time domain positions. After that, the terminal device can perform pre-synchronization and / or neighbor measurement based on the received SSB.

[0052] For example, in a scenario where the terminal device does not need to perform neighboring area measurement, refer to Figure 4A A schematic diagram of the window power consumption timing of a terminal device in a related technology is shown, and the terminal device can select two SSBs before the PF as pre-synchronization SSBs.

[0053] The terminal device may wake up from the deep sleep mode before the time domain position of the first pre-synchronization SSB arrives, and when the first pre-synchronization SSB (SSB1 in the figure) arrives, the terminal device may be in the active mode and receive the first pre-synchronization SSB (SSB2 in the figure) in the active mode. Figure 4A The time domain positions of the two pre-synchronization SSBs (SSB1 and SSB2 in the figure) are close to each other. After the terminal device receives the first pre-synchronization SSB (SSB1 in the figure), it can immediately enter the light sleep mode. It can be understood that in the light sleep mode, the terminal device can adjust the frequency and / or pressure of the chip to turn off some monitoring functions and save the power consumption of the terminal device. When the starting time of the time domain position of the second pre-synchronization SSB (SSB2 in the figure) arrives, the terminal device can immediately enter the active mode from the light sleep mode and receive the second pre-synchronization SSB in the active mode. After the terminal device receives the second pre-synchronization SSB, it can enter the light sleep mode again to reduce power consumption. When the time domain position of the PF arrives, the terminal device can enter the active mode from the light sleep mode again to monitor the paging message, and after the PO in the PF ends, the terminal device enters the deep sleep mode until the pre-synchronization SSB corresponding to the next DRX cycle arrives. In the deep sleep mode, the terminal device turns off the monitoring function and the power consumption is the lowest.

[0054] For example, in a scenario where a terminal device needs to perform neighboring area measurement, refer to Figure 4BThe window power consumption timing diagram of a terminal device in another related technology shown in the figure shows that after the terminal device selects the pre-synchronization SSB (SSB1' in the figure), the first SSB (SSB2' in the figure) after the pre-synchronization SSB can be used as the neighboring cell measurement SSB.

[0055] Among them, the terminal device can wake up from the deep sleep mode before the time domain position of the pre-synchronization SSB arrives. When the pre-synchronization SSB (SSB1' in the figure) arrives, the terminal device can be in the active mode, and receive the pre-synchronization SSB (SSB1' in the figure) in the active mode, and perform synchronization processing. In addition, the pre-synchronization SSB is close to the MO time domain position in the PF. After the terminal device receives the pre-synchronization SSB in the active mode, it can immediately enter the light sleep mode, saving power consumption while facilitating the rapid entry into the active mode when the PF arrives. Before the PF arrives, the terminal device can enter the active mode from the light sleep mode to monitor the paging message. Since the time domain positions of the PF and the neighboring area measurement SSB (SSB2' in the figure) are closer, the terminal device has no time to switch the working mode. Therefore, after the PF, the terminal device continues to be in the active mode and continues to monitor the downlink channel until the neighboring area measurement SSB (SSB2' in the figure) is received. After receiving the neighboring area measurement SSB, the terminal device can immediately enter the deep sleep mode until the pre-synchronization SSB corresponding to the next DRX cycle arrives.

[0056] It can be seen from the above examples that the terminal device in the related art determines the SSB (including pre-synchronization SSB and / or neighbor measurement SSB) by a preset number of SSBs (for example, one or two), and then the terminal device divides the terminal device into different working modes according to the positional relationship between the time domain position of the SSB and the time domain position of the PO / PF / MO. In this way, the terminal device can adjust the frequency or voltage in different working modes through the DVFS technology, thereby achieving the purpose of energy saving.

[0057] However, in the power consumption control method in the related art, the SSB determined according to the preset number of SSBs is used to divide the working mode of the terminal device in different time domain positions, and further enables the terminal device to receive SSBs to perform pre-synchronization or neighboring area measurement. However, when determining the number of SSBs, the channel quality and power consumption mode of the target channel of the terminal device are not taken into account, and only a preset fixed number of SSBs are received. As a result, the selected number of SSBs is not optimal for power consumption, especially in scenarios with good channel quality, resulting in a waste of the selected number of SSBs, which will lead to excessive power consumption, unnecessary window opening of the terminal device, and reduced terminal endurance.

[0058] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a method for receiving SSB, which can be applied to the communication device provided in the embodiment of the present application. The communication device can be implemented by software or hardware, and the communication device can be applied to the terminal device provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0059] Specifically, in the method for receiving SSB provided in an embodiment of the present application, the communication device can determine the number of SSBs received according to the channel quality; and receive at least one SSB based on the number of received SSBs. That is, the communication device can specifically determine the number of SSBs that match the channel quality. In this way, it is beneficial to reduce the number of SSBs received by the communication device when the channel quality is good, thereby helping to optimize power consumption. It is also beneficial to increase the number of SSBs received by the communication device when the channel quality is poor, thereby helping to improve the success rate of pre-synchronization and / or neighboring area measurement.

[0060] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0061] The present application embodiment provides a method for receiving SSB. Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the process of receiving SSB provided in the embodiment of the present application Figure 1 ,refer to Figure 5 As shown, in an embodiment of the present application, the method for receiving SSB may include the following steps.

[0062] Step 501: Determine the number of SSBs received according to the channel quality.

[0063] It should be understood that SSB is information broadcast by a network device, and the reception of SSB depends on the broadcast channel between the network device and the communication device. The channel quality mentioned in the embodiment of the present application refers to the channel quality of the broadcast channel between the network device and the communication device.

[0064] In an embodiment of the present application, the communication device may measure the channel state of the broadcast channel between the network device and the communication device to obtain the channel quality of the broadcast channel. Exemplarily, the channel quality may include at least one of the reference signal received power, the reference signal received quality, the path loss, and the signal to interference noise ratio. The embodiment of the present application is not limited to this. Accordingly, determining the number of SSBs received based on the channel quality can also be understood as determining the number of SSBs received based on the value of at least one of the above-mentioned physical quantities characterizing the channel quality.

[0065] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the comparison of channel quality can also be understood as a comparison of the values ​​of physical quantities used to characterize the channel quality. For example, a higher channel quality (better, superior, etc.) can be understood as a signal to interference noise ratio greater than a signal to interference noise ratio threshold. This embodiment of the present application will not be described in detail.

[0066] Generally speaking, when the channel quality is good, SSB can be completely received. At this time, the communication device only needs to receive fewer SSBs to complete pre-synchronization or neighboring area measurement. When the channel quality is poor, SSB may be incompletely received or missed. Therefore, in this scenario, the communication device needs to receive multiple SSBs to ensure the performance of the communication device.

[0067] Based on this, the communication device can determine the number of SSBs to be received required for the current channel quality according to the channel quality.

[0068] In the embodiment of the present application, the number of received SSBs refers to the minimum number of SSBs that meet the performance requirements under the channel quality conditions. That is to say, in the embodiment of the present application, the number of received SSBs determined by the communication device according to the channel quality, that is, the number of SSBs to be selected that matches the channel quality, is the minimum number of SSBs that meet the performance requirements of the communication device under the current channel quality.

[0069] Among them, the performance requirement refers to the requirement of the communication device to perform pre-synchronization and / or neighboring cell measurement, which is related to the function of SSB. For example, the performance requirement can be the requirement for the quality of receiving SSB (including pre-synchronization SSB and / or neighboring cell measurement SSB), or it can be the requirement for the delay of receiving SSB (including pre-synchronization SSB and / or neighboring cell measurement SSB), etc. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the performance requirements.

[0070] Exemplarily, when the channel quality is good, the communication device can successfully complete the function of pre-synchronization or neighboring area measurement by receiving 1 or more SSBs. However, in order to further reduce the power consumption of the communication device and extend the battery life of the communication device, the communication device can select the minimum number of SSBs (i.e., 1 SSB) to receive the SSB while meeting the performance requirements of the communication device. In other words, the minimum number of SSBs that meet the performance requirements under channel quality is 1. When the channel quality is average, when the communication device selects 1 SSB, it may cause the communication device to be unable to receive the SSB, so that the communication device needs to select multiple SSBs (for example, more than 2 SSBs) to complete the reception of the SSB, then the minimum number of SSBs that meet the performance requirements under the channel quality is 2. When the channel quality is poor, when the communication device selects 1 or 2 SSBs, it may cause the communication device to be unable to receive the SSB, so that the communication device needs to select more SSBs (for example, 3) to complete the reception of the SSB, then the minimum number of SSBs that meet the performance requirements under the channel quality is 3.

[0071] Here, the communication device can judge the quality of the channel by using a preset threshold.

[0072] Exemplarily, when the channel quality includes the reference signal received power, the communication device can determine the quality of the channel by judging the relationship between the currently measured reference signal received power and the preset first power threshold and the second power threshold. When the reference signal received power is greater than the first power threshold, it can be determined that the current channel quality is good. When the reference signal received power is less than or equal to the first power threshold and greater than the second power threshold, it can be determined that the current channel quality is average. In addition, when the reference signal received power is less than or equal to the second power threshold, it is determined that the current channel quality is poor.

[0073] Similarly, the communication device can also determine the quality of the channel based on a quality threshold corresponding to the reference signal reception quality, a loss threshold corresponding to the path loss, or a signal to interference plus noise ratio threshold corresponding to the signal to interference plus noise ratio, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0074] It should be noted that the threshold for judging the quality of the channel may be pre-configured by the network device or may be pre-defined by the communication device, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0075] In some embodiments, the SSB may be a pre-synchronization SSB, wherein the pre-synchronization SSB is used for pre-synchronization, that is, to achieve pre-synchronization between the communication device and the network device; the SSB may also be a neighboring cell measurement SSB, wherein the neighboring cell measurement SSB is used for neighboring cell measurement, to achieve measurement of neighboring cells by the communication device. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the type of SSB.

[0076] Step 502: The communication device receives at least one SSB based on the reception quantity.

[0077] It can be understood that in an embodiment of the present application, the communication device can determine the number of SSBs received according to the channel quality; and receive at least one SSB based on the received number. That is, the communication device can specifically determine the number of SSBs that match the channel quality. In this way, it is beneficial to reduce the number of SSBs received by the communication device when the channel quality is good, thereby optimizing power consumption. It is also beneficial to increase the number of SSBs received by the communication device when the channel quality is poor, thereby improving the success rate of pre-synchronization and / or neighboring area measurement.

[0078] The following describes in detail how the communication device determines the number of SSB receptions.

[0079] In a possible implementation, determining the number of received SSBs according to the channel quality in step 501 may be implemented in the following manner:

[0080] Step 5011: The communication device can determine the number of SSBs received corresponding to the channel quality based on the first mapping relationship; wherein the first mapping relationship represents the correspondence between the channel quality and the minimum number of SSBs that meet the performance requirements under the channel quality.

[0081] It can be understood that the first mapping relationship can indicate the minimum number of SSBs required for the communication device to achieve pre-synchronization or neighboring area measurement functions under each channel quality. Exemplarily, the first mapping relationship can indicate: the channel quality is greater than the first channel quality, and the corresponding minimum number of SSBs is 1; the channel quality is less than the first channel quality, and the corresponding minimum number of SSBs is 2, etc. Here, the configuration method of the first mapping relationship is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0082] It should be noted that the first mapping relationship may be configured by the communication device before leaving the factory, or may be configured by the network device through signaling, and this embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0083] It should also be noted that the first mapping relationship can be determined by simulation calculation results and configured for each communication device before the communication device leaves the factory. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the configuration method of the first mapping relationship.

[0084] It is understandable that in the embodiment of the present application, the communication device can pre-configure a first mapping relationship between different channel qualities and the minimum number of SSBs. That is, the communication device can determine the minimum number of SSBs that meet the performance requirements of the communication device when the channel qualities are different based on the first mapping relationship, and receive the corresponding SSBs. In this way, it can be avoided that the communication device receives a fixed number of SSBs under different channel qualities, causing a waste of power consumption. Thereby reducing the power consumption of the communication device and extending the standby time of the communication device.

[0085] In another embodiment, determining the number of received SSBs according to the channel quality in step 501 may be implemented in the following manner:

[0086] Step 5012: The communication device may determine the SSB quantity range corresponding to the channel quality based on the second mapping relationship; the second mapping relationship represents the correspondence between the channel quality and the SSB quantity range that meets the performance requirements under the channel quality.

[0087] Step 5013: The communication device may select the minimum number of SSBs from the range of SSB numbers corresponding to the channel quality as the number of SSBs received.

[0088] It is understandable that the second mapping relationship may indicate the number of multiple SSBs required for the communication device to implement the pre-synchronization or neighboring area measurement function under each channel quality. Exemplarily, the second mapping relationship may include: when the channel quality is greater than the first channel quality, the corresponding number of SSBs may be greater than or equal to 1, and when the channel quality is less than the first channel quality, the corresponding number of SSBs may be greater than or equal to 2. Here, the configuration method of the second mapping relationship is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0089] It should be noted that the second mapping relationship may be configured by the communication device before leaving the factory, or may be configured by the network device through signaling, and this embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0090] It should also be noted that the second mapping relationship can be determined by simulation calculation results and configured for each communication device before the communication device leaves the factory. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the configuration method of the second mapping relationship.

[0091] In an embodiment of the present application, after the communication device determines the SSB number range based on the second mapping relationship, the communication device selects the minimum SSB number in the SSB number range as the received number of SSBs. That is, when the channel quality is good, the communication device can select the minimum SSB number (i.e., 1) from the SSB number range greater than or equal to 1. When the channel quality is average, the communication device can select the minimum SSB number (i.e., 2) from the SSB number range greater than or equal to 2. When the channel quality is poor, the communication device can select the minimum SSB number (i.e., 3) from the SSB number range greater than or equal to 3.

[0092] It can be understood that in an embodiment of the present application, the communication device can pre-configure a second mapping relationship between different channel qualities and the range of the number of SSBs received, and select the minimum number of SSBs as the number of SSBs received. That is, the communication device can determine the range of SSB numbers that meets the performance requirements of the communication device when the channel qualities are different based on the second mapping relationship, select the minimum number of SSBs as the number of SSBs received, and then receive the corresponding SSBs. In this way, it is beneficial to reduce the number of SSBs received by the communication device when the channel quality is good, thereby helping to optimize power consumption. It is also beneficial to increase the number of SSBs received by the communication device when the channel quality is poor, thereby helping to improve the success rate of pre-synchronization and / or neighboring area measurement.

[0093] It should be understood that the communication device can select the matching number of SSBs according to the channel quality in a low-power scenario or a non-low-power scenario to facilitate the reception of SSBs for pre-synchronization or neighboring area measurement.

[0094] In addition, in some embodiments, in order to reduce the processing complexity of the communication device, the communication device may select the matching number of SSBs according to the channel quality only when it is in the low power consumption mode, so as to receive the SSBs for pre-synchronization or neighboring area measurement. That is, before determining the number of received SSBs according to the channel quality in step 501, the following steps may also be included:

[0095] Step 500: When the communication device is in a low power consumption mode, determine the channel quality.

[0096] In some embodiments, a communication device in a low power mode can determine the number of SSBs received based on the channel quality; and receive at least one SSB based on the number of received SSBs. That is, a communication device in a low power mode can obtain the channel quality and specifically determine the number of SSBs that match the channel quality. In this way, it is beneficial to reduce the number of SSBs received by the communication device when the channel quality is good, thereby facilitating the optimization of power consumption. It is also beneficial to increase the number of SSBs received by the communication device when the channel quality is poor, thereby facilitating the improvement of the success rate of pre-synchronization and / or neighboring area measurement.

[0097] In some embodiments, when the communication device is in low power mode, the communication device determines the minimum number of SSBs to be received according to the performance requirements corresponding to different channel qualities to further complete SSB reception. That is to say, after obtaining the channel quality, the communication device in low power mode specifically determines the minimum number of SSBs that match the channel quality according to different channel qualities. In this way, it is possible to avoid the problem of a communication device in low power mode receiving a fixed number of SSBs under different channel qualities, causing power consumption waste. This reduces the power consumption of the communication device in low power mode and extends the standby time of the communication device.

[0098] In the embodiment of the present application, the communication device may determine that it is in the low power consumption mode when at least one of the following conditions is met:

[0099] The power level of the communication device is less than a preset power level threshold;

[0100] The temperature of the communication device is higher than a preset temperature threshold;

[0101] The screen state of the communication device is off;

[0102] The communication device receives a switching instruction; the switching instruction is used to start the low power consumption mode.

[0103] Among them, when the power of the communication device is less than the preset power threshold, that is, when the power of the communication device is low, in order to prevent the communication device from shutting down due to low power, the communication device enters a low power mode. In other words, after the power of the communication device is less than the preset power threshold, the minimum number of SSBs that meet the performance requirements can be selected according to the channel quality, thereby reducing the power consumption of the communication device and improving the endurance. Exemplarily, the preset power threshold can be set to 10%, which is not specifically limited here.

[0104] When the temperature of the communication device is higher than the preset temperature threshold, that is, when the temperature of the communication device is too high, in order to prevent the communication device from damaging the hardware structure due to the high temperature, the communication device enters a low power consumption mode. In other words, after the temperature of the communication device is higher than the temperature threshold, the minimum number of SSBs that meet the performance requirements can be selected according to the channel quality, thereby reducing the power consumption of the communication device, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the temperature. Exemplarily, the preset temperature threshold can be set to 43 degrees Celsius (℃).

[0105] It should be noted that the preset power threshold and the preset temperature threshold can be determined by the results of the simulation experiment and configured for each communication device before the communication device leaves the factory. The preset power threshold and the preset temperature threshold can also be set by the user according to his own needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the setting method of the preset power threshold and the preset temperature threshold.

[0106] When the screen state of the communication device switches from the on screen state to the off screen state, it can be determined that the user currently has no high demand for data services, and the communication device enters a low power consumption mode. In other words, when the communication device is in the off screen state, the minimum number of SSBs that meets the performance requirements can be selected according to the channel quality, thereby reducing the power consumption of the communication device and improving the battery life.

[0107] In addition, when the communication device receives a switching instruction to start the low power mode, it can be determined that the user currently does not have a high demand for data services, and the communication device enters the low power mode. In other words, after receiving the instruction to switch to the low power mode, the communication device can select the minimum number of SSBs that meets the performance requirements according to the channel quality, thereby reducing the power consumption of the communication device and improving the battery life.

[0108] In some embodiments, the communication device may select at least one SSB that matches the received quantity from a plurality of SSBs based on the time intervals between the time domain positions of the plurality of SSBs and the time domain positions of the listening opportunities.

[0109] The monitoring opportunity includes a paging monitoring opportunity and / or a continuous monitoring opportunity.

[0110] Here, multiple SSBs refer to SSBs sent by the network device. It is understandable that after determining the number of SSBs, the communication device can select the SSB to be received from the multiple SSBs sent by the network device according to the determined number of SSBs.

[0111] In one possible implementation, after determining the number of SSBs, the communication device may select the SSBs of that number that are closest to the time domain position of the monitoring opportunity for reception.

[0112] Exemplarily, when the communication device determines that the number of SSBs is two, two SSBs closest to the time domain position of the monitoring opportunity can be selected for reception.

[0113] In another possible implementation, the communication device may also calculate the time interval between the time domain position of the SSB and the time domain position of the monitoring opportunity, and select the SSB according to the working mode of the communication device within the time interval.

[0114] Here, the operating mode may include a deep sleep mode, a light sleep mode, and an active mode.

[0115] In some embodiments, if the communication device needs to enter the deep sleep mode between the time domain position of the SSB and the time domain position of the listening opportunity, the communication device can select an SSB whose time interval between the time domain position of the SSB and the time domain position of the listening opportunity is greater than a first threshold (e.g., 3 milliseconds) from multiple SSBs sent by the network device. Here, the first threshold can be determined based on the minimum switching time required for the terminal device to switch from the active mode to the sleep mode.

[0116] Exemplary, reference Figure 6 The power consumption shown is Figure 1 , there are multiple SSBs (i.e., SSB1, SSB2, and SSB3) before the paging monitoring opportunity PF, and the minimum number of SSBs corresponding to the current channel quality is 1. At this time, the communication device can determine the time intervals between the paging monitoring opportunity and SSB1, SSB2, and SSB3, respectively, and select the SSB (i.e., SSB3) whose time interval is greater than the first threshold from SSB1, SSB2, and SSB3 as the final selected SSB. Based on this, if Figure 6 As shown by curve 63 in FIG. 8 , the communication device enters the deep sleep mode after receiving SSB3.

[0117] In some embodiments, if the communication device needs to enter the light sleep mode between the time domain position of the SSB and the time domain position of the listening opportunity, the communication device can select an SSB whose time interval between the time domain position of the SSB and the time domain position of the listening opportunity is less than or equal to the first threshold and greater than the second threshold from multiple SSBs sent by the network device. Here, the second threshold can be determined based on the minimum switching time required for the terminal device to switch from the deep sleep mode to the light sleep mode.

[0118] Exemplary, reference Figure 6 The power consumption shown is Figure 1 , there are multiple SSBs (i.e., SSB1, SSB2, and SSB3) before the paging monitoring opportunity PF, and the minimum number of SSBs corresponding to the current channel quality is 1. At this time, the communication device can determine the time intervals between the paging monitoring opportunity and SSB1, SSB2, and SSB3, respectively, and select an SSB (i.e., SSB2) whose time interval is less than or equal to the first threshold and greater than the second threshold from SSB1, SSB2, and SSB3 as the final selected SSB. Based on this, if Figure 6 As shown by curve 62 in FIG. 8 , the communication device enters the light sleep mode after receiving SSB2.

[0119] In some embodiments, if the communication device needs to enter an activation mode between the time domain position of an SSB and the time domain position of a listening opportunity, the communication device can select an SSB from multiple SSBs sent by the network device whose time interval between the time domain position of the SSB and the time domain position of the listening opportunity is less than or equal to a second threshold.

[0120] Exemplary, reference Figure 6 The power consumption shown is Figure 1 , there are multiple SSBs (i.e., SSB1, SSB2, and SSB3) before the paging monitoring opportunity PF, and the minimum number of SSBs corresponding to the current channel quality is 1. At this time, the communication device can determine the time intervals between the paging monitoring opportunity and SSB1, SSB2, and SSB3, respectively, and select the SSB (i.e., SSB1) whose time interval is less than or equal to the second threshold from SSB1, SSB2, and SSB3 as the final selected SSB. Based on this, if Figure 6 As shown by curve 61 in FIG. , the communication device enters the activation mode after receiving SSB1.

[0121] In some embodiments, after the communication device matches the minimum number of SSBs that meet the performance requirements according to different channel qualities, the communication device determines multiple SSB sets that meet the minimum number of SSBs from multiple SSBs sent by the network device according to the determined minimum number of SSBs. Further, the communication device can determine the power consumption of windowing multiple SSB sets, and select an SSB set with the minimum power consumption from the multiple SSB sets for reception.

[0122] Exemplary, reference Figure 6 As shown, when the channel quality is good, the communication device determines that the minimum number of SSBs that meet the performance requirements is 1. Then, the communication device determines three SSB sets from multiple SSBs sent by the network device, namely, SSB set 1 composed of SSB1, SSB set 2 composed of SSB2, and SSB set 3 composed of SSB3.

[0123] Furthermore, the communication device can determine the power consumption of opening a window for each SSB set based on the time domain position of the SSB set and the time domain position of the paging monitoring opportunity.

[0124] Here, the communication device can determine the voltage and / or frequency at the time domain position of the SSB set and the time domain position of the paging listening opportunity when each SSB set is windowed, and the voltage and / or frequency at the time interval between the time domain position of the SSB set and the time domain position of the paging listening opportunity according to the time domain position of the SSB set and the time domain position of the paging listening opportunity. Based on this, the communication device can calculate the voltage and / or frequency of each SSB set for windowing in the entire time domain, thereby obtaining the power consumption of windowing each SSB set.

[0125] Further, the communication device may compare the power consumption of windowing SSB set 1, SSB set 2, and SSB set 3, and select the SSB set with the smallest power consumption. For example, the SSB set with the smallest power consumption is SSB set 1, based on which the communication device may receive the SSB in SSB set 1 for pre-synchronization.

[0126] In one embodiment of the present application, reference Figure 7 As shown in the flowchart, the method for receiving SSB provided in the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps:

[0127] Step 701: The communication device enters 5G standby mode.

[0128] Step 702: Determine whether the communication device is in low power consumption mode.

[0129] Here, if the communication device enables the low power consumption mode, step 703 is executed; if the communication device does not enable the low power consumption mode, step 708 is executed.

[0130] Here, when at least one of the following conditions is met, the communication device is in the low power consumption mode:

[0131] The power level of the communication device is less than a preset power level threshold;

[0132] The temperature of the communication device is higher than a preset temperature threshold;

[0133] The screen state of the communication device is a screen-off state;

[0134] The communication device receives a switching instruction; the switching instruction is used to start the low power consumption mode.

[0135] Step 703: The communication device determines the number of received pre-synchronization SSBs based on the channel quality.

[0136] Here, the communication device determines the number of received pre-synchronization SSBs according to the channel quality, wherein the number of received pre-synchronization SSBs refers to the minimum number of SSBs that meet the pre-synchronization requirement under the channel quality.

[0137] In some embodiments, the channel quality includes at least one of a reference signal received power, a reference signal received quality, a path loss, and a signal to interference and noise ratio.

[0138] In some embodiments, the communication device can determine the number of received pre-synchronization SSBs corresponding to the channel quality based on a first mapping relationship; wherein the first mapping relationship represents the correspondence between the channel quality and the minimum number of pre-synchronization SSBs that meet the performance requirements under the channel quality.

[0139] In some other embodiments, the communication device determines the range of pre-synchronization SSB numbers corresponding to the channel quality based on a second mapping relationship; the second mapping relationship represents the correspondence between the channel quality and the range of SSB numbers that meet the pre-synchronization requirement under the channel quality. And from the range of pre-synchronization SSB numbers, the minimum number of SSBs is selected as the number of pre-synchronization SSBs to be received.

[0140] Step 704: The communication device selects an SSB that meets the received number of pre-synchronization SSBs based on the received number of pre-synchronization SSBs, and determines the selected pre-synchronization SSB.

[0141] In some embodiments, the communication device selects at least one SSB matching the received quantity from the multiple SSBs based on the time intervals between the time domain positions of the multiple SSBs and the time domain positions of the listening opportunities, and obtains the selected pre-synchronization SSB.

[0142] Exemplarily, if the channel quality is good, the communication device can determine that the minimum number of SSBs that meets the performance requirements of the communication device is 1 based on the first mapping relationship or the second mapping relationship. That is, the communication device needs to receive 1 SSB to perform pre-synchronization. Fig. 8A Power consumption Figure 2, there are multiple SSBs (i.e., SSB1, SSB2, and SSB3) before the paging monitoring opportunity. If the communication device selects SSB1 as the final selected SSB, then between a certain time before the time domain position start time of SSB1 and the end of the paging monitoring opportunity, the communication device is in the active mode. Fig. 8A As shown in curve 81 in .

[0143] Exemplarily, if the channel quality is average, the communication device may determine that the minimum number of SSBs that meets the performance requirements of the communication device is 2 based on the first mapping relationship or the second mapping relationship. That is, the communication device needs to receive 2 SSBs to perform pre-synchronization. Fig. 8A The power consumption shown is Figure 2 , there are multiple SSBs (i.e., SSB1, SSB2, and SSB3) before the paging monitoring opportunity. If the communication device selects SSB1 and SSB2 as the final selected SSBs, then between the time domain position of receiving SSB2, a certain time before the start time of the time domain position of receiving SSB1, and the end of the paging monitoring opportunity, the communication device is in the active mode. Fig. 8A As shown in curve 82 in FIG.

[0144] In addition, if the channel quality is poor, the communication device can determine that the minimum number of SSBs that meets the performance requirements of the communication device is 3 based on the first mapping relationship or the second mapping relationship. That is, the communication device needs to receive 3 SSBs to perform pre-synchronization. Fig. 8A The power consumption shown is Figure 2 , there are multiple SSBs (i.e., SSB1, SSB2, and SSB3) before the paging monitoring opportunity. If the communication device selects SSB1, SSB2, and SSB3 as the final selected SSBs, then between a certain time before the start time of the time domain position of receiving SSB3, the time domain position of receiving SSB2, and the time domain position of receiving SSB1 and the end of the paging monitoring opportunity, the communication device is in the active mode. Fig. 8A As shown by curve 83 in .

[0145] Step 705: The communication device determines whether to perform neighboring cell measurement.

[0146] Here, if the communication device needs to perform neighboring cell measurement, step 706 is executed; if the communication device does not perform neighboring cell measurement, step 708 is executed.

[0147] Step 706: The communication device determines the number of neighboring cell measurement SSBs received based on the channel conditions.

[0148] Here, the communication device can determine the number of neighbor cell measurement SSBs received according to the channel quality, wherein the number of neighbor cell measurement SSBs received refers to the minimum number of SSBs that meet the performance requirements of neighbor cell measurement under channel quality conditions.

[0149] In some embodiments, the communication device determines the number of neighboring cell measurement SSBs received corresponding to the channel quality based on a first mapping relationship; wherein the first mapping relationship represents the correspondence between the channel quality and the minimum number of neighboring cell measurement SSBs that meets the neighboring cell measurement requirements under the channel quality.

[0150] In some other embodiments, the communication device determines the neighboring cell measurement SSB number range corresponding to the channel quality based on the second mapping relationship; the second mapping relationship represents the correspondence between the channel quality and the SSB number range that meets the neighboring cell measurement requirement under the channel quality. And from the neighboring cell measurement SSB number range, the minimum SSB number is selected as the neighboring cell measurement SSB reception number.

[0151] Step 707: The communication device selects an SSB that meets the reception quantity of the neighboring cell measurement SSB according to the reception quantity of the neighboring cell measurement SSB, and determines the selected neighboring cell measurement SSB.

[0152] In some embodiments, the communication device selects at least one SSB from multiple SSBs that matches the number of receptions of the neighboring cell measurement SSB based on the time intervals between the time domain positions of the multiple SSBs and the time domain positions of the listening opportunities, and obtains the selected neighboring cell measurement SSB.

[0153] Exemplarily, if the channel quality is good, the communication device may determine, based on the first mapping relationship or the second mapping relationship, that the minimum number of SSBs that meets the performance requirements of the communication device is 1. That is, the communication device needs to receive 1 SSB to perform neighboring cell measurement. Figure 8B Power consumption Figure 3 , after the paging monitoring opportunity, there are multiple SSBs (ie, SSB1, SSB2, and SSB3). If the communication device selects SSB1 as the final selected SSB, then the communication device is in the active mode between a certain time before the start time of the time domain position of the pre-synchronization SSB and a certain time after the end time of the neighboring cell measurement SSB1. Figure 8B As shown by curve 84 in FIG.

[0154] For example, if the channel quality is average, the communication device can determine that the minimum number of SSBs that meets the performance requirements of the communication device is 2 based on the first mapping relationship or the second mapping relationship. That is, the communication device needs to receive 2 SSBs to perform neighboring cell measurement. Figure 8B The power consumption shown is Figure 3, after the paging monitoring opportunity, there are multiple SSBs (ie, SSB1, SSB2, and SSB3). If the communication device selects SSB1 and SSB2 as the final selected SSB, then the communication device is in the active mode between a certain time before the time domain position start time of the pre-synchronization SSB and a certain time after the neighboring cell measurement SSB2 end time. Figure 8B As shown by curve 85 in .

[0155] In addition, if the channel quality is poor, the communication device can determine that the minimum number of SSBs that meets the performance requirements of the communication device is 3 based on the first mapping relationship or the second mapping relationship. That is, the communication device needs to receive 3 SSBs to perform neighboring cell measurement. Figure 8B The power consumption shown is Figure 3 , after the paging monitoring opportunity, there are multiple SSBs (ie, SSB1, SSB2, and SSB3). If the communication device selects SSB1, SSB2, and SSB3 as the final selected SSBs, then between a certain time before the start time of the time domain position of the pre-synchronization SSB and a certain time after the end time of the neighboring cell measurement SSB3, the communication device is in the active mode. Figure 8B As shown by curve 86 in FIG.

[0156] Step 708: The communication device receives the selected pre-synchronization SSB and / or the selected neighbor measurement SSB.

[0157] It can be seen that in an embodiment of the present application, when the communication device is in a low power consumption mode, the communication device can determine the minimum number of SSBs that meet the pre-synchronization requirements and / or neighboring area measurement requirements based on different channel qualities. The communication device receives the corresponding SSB based on the determined minimum number of SSBs to perform pre-synchronization or neighboring area measurement. In this way, it is beneficial to reduce the number of SSBs received by the communication device when the channel quality is good, thereby helping to optimize power consumption. It is also beneficial to increase the number of SSBs received by the communication device when the channel quality is poor, thereby helping to improve the success rate of pre-synchronization and / or neighboring area measurement.
