Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of communication technologies, and particularly to a physical layer listening method and related devices. Background Art

[0002] The heartbeat service generally refers to the client sending application layer messages to the server to tell the server that the current service is active. Generally speaking, the heartbeat service is a long-period small-packet service. The long period means that the message can be sent once every few minutes, and the small packet means that the data packet sent at one time is small, such as a few hundred or a few thousand bytes. In some Internet of Things or wearable device scenarios, due to energy conservation and typical application requirements, the heartbeat service is a relatively common service. Since the heartbeat service is a long-period small-packet service, the user equipment does not need to send a scheduling request to the network to apply for uplink authorization. The user equipment can listen to the PDCCH on the configured PDCCH monitoring opportunity to obtain uplink authorization, which can save the operation of the scheduling request and make the user equipment more power-saving.

[0003] In Release 16 of 5G New Radio, based on Downlink Control Information format 2-6 (DCI format 2-6), the user equipment can be configured with a 1-bit wake-up indication through higher layer parameters. In DCI format 2-6, the 1-bit wake-up indication is used to indicate whether the user equipment starts the On Duration Timer (ODT) in the next discontinuous reception cycle. The working time of the On Duration Timer is a type of Active Time. During the active time, the user equipment needs to listen to all valid PDCCHs, that is, the MAC entity controls the physical layer to listen to all valid PDCCHs.

[0004] Since the wake-up indication and the PDCCH corresponding to the heartbeat service coexist in the system, whether the wake-up indication affects the PDCCH corresponding to the heartbeat service and how it affects the PDCCH corresponding to the heartbeat service are hot issues that need to be urgently solved.

[0005] In addition, since the PDCCH skip indication and the PDCCH corresponding to the heartbeat service also coexist in the system, whether the PDCCH skip indication affects the PDCCH corresponding to the heartbeat service and how it affects the PDCCH corresponding to the heartbeat service are also characteristic issues that need to be urgently solved. Summary of the Invention

Of course, the above user equipment may also be a user equipment, for example, a cloud user equipment.

[0030] The embodiments of the present application will be introduced in detail below.

[0031] Figure 1It is a schematic flowchart of a physical layer monitoring method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The physical layer monitoring method is applied to a user equipment. As shown in the figure, the physical layer monitoring method includes:

[0032] S101. Determine a monitoring manner of a first type of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) according to a first type of wake-up indication, where the first type of PDCCH is the PDCCH corresponding to a heartbeat service.

[0033] Among them, the base station may configure a dedicated PDCCH for the heartbeat service. The configuration of the PDCCH is generally configured through a search space set. Therefore, in fact, the base station may configure a search space set for the heartbeat service, and the PDCCH candidates within the search space set can be regarded as the first type of PDCCH. Here, the first type of PDCCH may also be equivalent to the first type of search space set.

[0034] Among them, whether a PDCCH or a search space set belongs to the heartbeat service may be represented by a parameter within the high-layer parameter of the search space set, that is, identified by an information element. That is to say, the distinction between the PDCCH (search space set) corresponding to the heartbeat service and other PDCCHs (search space sets) may be through a parameter within the high-layer parameter of the search space set. In the present application, the PDCCH (search space set) corresponding to the heartbeat service is classified as the first type of PDCCH (search space set).

[0035] Among them, the first type of wake-up indication is the wake-up indication in DCI format 2-6. Determine the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH according to the first type of wake-up indication. The monitoring manner includes monitoring the first type of PDCCH and not monitoring the first type of PDCCH.

[0036] It can be seen that in the physical layer monitoring method and related devices described in the embodiments of the present application, which are applied to a user equipment, the user equipment determines the monitoring manner of the first type of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) according to the first type of wake-up indication. Since the wake-up indication and the PDCCH corresponding to the heartbeat service coexist in the system, and the PDCCH skip indication and the PDCCH corresponding to the heartbeat service also coexist in the system, by classifying the PDCCH corresponding to the heartbeat service as the first type of PDCCH and further determining the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH, it helps to solve the coexistence problem of the wake-up indication and the PDCCH corresponding to the heartbeat service, as well as the coexistence problem of the PDCCH skip indication and the PDCCH corresponding to the heartbeat service.

[0037] In a possible example, determining the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH according to the first type of wake-up indication includes: determining the value of the first type of wake-up indication, where the first type of wake-up indication includes one bit; if the value of the first type of wake-up indication is a first value, determining the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH as monitoring the first type of PDCCH.

[0038] Among them, the first type of wake-up indication includes 1 bit, and the 1 bit in the first type of wake-up indication may not act on the first type of PDCCH. In the prior art, if the first type of wake-up indication is 0, the user equipment will continue to monitor the first type of PDCCH. At this time, the user equipment will not start the opening duration timer, and thus will not monitor all valid PDCCHs within the corresponding time. However, considering that the heartbeat service corresponding to the first type of PDCCH is a long-period small-packet service, it needs to be treated differently. Otherwise, when the user equipment only needs to monitor the first type of PDCCH during the activation time, the base station still needs to start the opening duration timer to let the user equipment monitor other PDCCHs except the first type of PDCCH during the activation time, which consumes more power instead. If the first type of wake-up indication is to start the opening duration timer, the user equipment will monitor the first type of PDCCH and will also monitor other PDCCHs except the first type of PDCCH.

[0039] Among them, the first value is 0, indicating that the value of the first type of wake-up indication received by the user equipment is 0. When the value of the first type of wake-up indication is 0, it can be determined that the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH is to monitor the first type of PDCCH. At this time, the opening duration timer is not started, and thus other PDCCHs except the first type of PDCCH are not monitored.

[0040] It can be seen that in this example, considering that the heartbeat service corresponding to the first type of PDCCH is a long-period small-packet service, it needs to be treated differently. Otherwise, when the user equipment only needs to monitor the first type of PDCCH during the activation time, the base station still needs to start the opening duration timer to let the user equipment monitor other PDCCHs except the first type of PDCCH during the activation time, which consumes more power instead. Therefore, if the wake-up indication is the first value 0, the user equipment will monitor the first type of PDCCH. At this time, the opening duration timer is not started, and thus other PDCCHs except the first type of PDCCH are not monitored.

[0041] In a possible example, determining the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH according to the first type of wake-up indication includes: if the value of the first type of wake-up indication is a first value and the first high-layer parameter is a first high-layer parameter value, determining the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH as monitoring the first type of PDCCH.

[0042] Among them, the first type of wake-up indication includes one bit, and the first value is 0. When the first type of wake-up indication is 0, whether the user equipment needs to monitor the first type of PDCCH depends on the first high-layer parameter, that is, depends on the semi-static signaling. The first type of wake-up indication is dynamic signaling. After receiving the dynamic signaling, the behavior of the user equipment still depends on the semi-static signaling. The first high-layer parameter includes two values, namely the first high-layer parameter value and the second high-layer parameter value. The first high-layer parameter value and the second high-layer parameter value correspond to monitoring and not monitoring respectively. Here, the first high-layer parameter can be understood as a switch, including two states: on or off.

[0043] Among them, when the first high-layer parameter is the first high-layer parameter value, the monitoring method of the first type of PDCCH can be determined as monitoring the first type of PDCCH.

[0044] It can be seen that in this example, when the value of the first type of wake-up indication is the first value, determining the monitoring method of the first type of PDCCH according to the value of the first high-layer parameter corresponding to the first type of PDCCH is more accurate.

[0045] In a possible example, the method for determining the monitoring method of the first type of PDCCH according to the first type of wake-up indication includes: if the value of the first type of wake-up indication is the first value and the first high-layer parameter is the second high-layer parameter value, determine that the monitoring method of the first type of PDCCH is not to monitor the first type of PDCCH.

[0046] Among them, the first type of wake-up indication includes one bit, and the first value is 0. When the first type of wake-up indication is 0, whether the user equipment needs to monitor the first type of PDCCH depends on the first high-layer parameter, that is, depends on the semi-static signaling. The first type of wake-up indication is dynamic signaling. After receiving the dynamic signaling, the behavior of the user equipment still depends on the semi-static signaling. The first high-layer parameter includes two values, namely the first high-layer parameter value and the second high-layer parameter value. The first high-layer parameter value and the second high-layer parameter value correspond to monitoring and not monitoring respectively. Here, the first high-layer parameter can be understood as a switch, including two states: on or off.

[0047] Among them, when the first high-layer parameter is the second high-layer parameter value, the monitoring method of the first type of PDCCH can be determined as not monitoring the first type of PDCCH.

[0048] It can be seen that in this example, when the value of the first type of wake-up indication is the first value, determining the monitoring method of the first type of PDCCH according to the value of the first high-layer parameter corresponding to the first type of PDCCH is more accurate.

[0049] In a possible example, determining the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH according to the first type of wake-up indication includes: if the value of the first type of wake-up indication is a first value and the value of the first logical channel priority is greater than or equal to a first threshold, determining the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH as monitoring the first type of PDCCH.

[0050] Among them, the first type of wake-up indication includes one bit, and the first value is 0. When the first type of wake-up indication is 0, whether the user equipment needs to monitor the first type of PDCCH depends on the first logical channel priority. The first type of wake-up indication is dynamic signaling. After receiving the dynamic signaling, the behavior of the user equipment still depends on the first logical channel priority corresponding to the first type of PDCCH. If the first logical channel priority is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH is to monitor the first type of PDCCH.

[0051] It can be seen that in this example, when the value of the first type of wake-up indication is the first value, determining the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH according to the first logical channel priority corresponding to the first type of PDCCH is more accurate.

[0052] In a possible example, determining the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH according to the first type of wake-up indication includes: if the value of the first type of wake-up indication is a first value and the value of the first logical channel priority is less than the first threshold, determining the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH as not monitoring the first type of PDCCH.

[0053] Among them, the first type of wake-up indication includes one bit, and the first value is 0. When the first type of wake-up indication is 0, whether the user equipment needs to monitor the first type of PDCCH depends on the first logical channel priority. The first type of wake-up indication is dynamic signaling. After receiving the dynamic signaling, the behavior of the user equipment still depends on the first logical channel priority corresponding to the first type of PDCCH. If the first logical channel priority is less than the first threshold, the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH is not to monitor the first type of PDCCH.

[0054] It can be seen that in this example, when the value of the first type of wake-up indication is the first value, determining the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH according to the first logical channel priority corresponding to the first type of PDCCH is more accurate.

[0055] Consistent with the above Figure 1 shown embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 is a schematic flowchart of a physical layer monitoring method provided by an embodiment of the present application, and the physical layer monitoring method is applied to a user equipment. As shown in the figure, the physical layer monitoring method includes:

[0056] S201. Determine the monitoring mode of the first type of PDCCH according to the second type of wake-up indication, where the first type of PDCCH is the PDCCH corresponding to the heartbeat service.

[0057] Among them, the base station can configure a dedicated PDCCH for the heartbeat service. The configuration of the PDCCH is generally configured through a search space set. Therefore, in fact, the base station can configure a search space set for the heartbeat service, and the PDCCH candidates in this search space set can be regarded as the first type of PDCCH. Here, the first type of PDCCH can also be equivalent to the first type of search space set.

[0058] Among them, whether a PDCCH or a search space set belongs to the heartbeat service can be represented by a parameter in the higher-layer parameters of the search space set, that is, identified by an information element. That is to say, the distinction between the PDCCH (search space set) corresponding to the heartbeat service and other PDCCH (search space set) can be through a parameter in the higher-layer parameters of the search space set. In this application, the PDCCH (search space) corresponding to the heartbeat service is classified as the first type of PDCCH (search space set).

[0059] Among them, the second type of wake-up indication is one bit of the wake-up indication in DCI format 2-6 plus an additional one bit. This additional one bit can be one bit before or after one bit of the wake-up indication in DCI format 2-6, and it is an adjacent one bit.

[0060] It can be seen that the physical layer monitoring method and related devices described in the embodiments of this application are applied to a user equipment. The user equipment determines the monitoring mode of the first type of PDCCH according to the second type of wake-up indication. Since the wake-up indication and the PDCCH corresponding to the heartbeat service coexist in the system, and the PDCCH skip indication and the PDCCH corresponding to the heartbeat service also coexist in the system. By classifying the PDCCH corresponding to the heartbeat service as the first type of PDCCH and further determining the monitoring mode of the first type of PDCCH, it helps to solve the coexistence problem of the wake-up indication and the PDCCH corresponding to the heartbeat service, and the coexistence problem of the PDCCH skip indication and the PDCCH corresponding to the heartbeat service.

[0061] In a possible example, the determining the monitoring mode of the first type of PDCCH according to the value of the second type of wake-up indication includes: if the value of the second type of wake-up indication is a second value, determining the monitoring mode of the first type of PDCCH as turning off the first timer and not monitoring the first type of PDCCH.

[0062] Among them, the second type of wake-up indication includes two bits and a total of 4 code points. Therefore, it can include 4 cases, namely 00, 01, 11, and 10. 00, 01, 11, and 10 can respectively correspond to a listening mode. Therefore, according to the second type of wake-up indication, four listening modes of the first type of PDCCH can be determined. First, determine the value of the second type of wake-up indication, and then determine the listening mode of the first type of PDCCH according to the value of the second type of wake-up indication.

[0063] It can be seen that in this example, the second type of wake-up indication includes one bit of the wake-up indication pair in DCI format 2-6 plus an additional one bit, so that it is possible to determine whether to turn on the duration timer and determine the listening mode of the first type of PDCCH according to the value of the second type of wake-up indication.

[0064] In a possible example, the determining the listening mode of the first type of PDCCH according to the value of the second type of wake-up indication includes: if the value of the second type of wake-up indication is a second value, determining that the listening mode of the first type of PDCCH is to turn off the first timer and not listen to the first type of PDCCH.

[0065] Among them, the second value is 00, and the first timer is the duration timer. When the value of the second type of wake-up indication is 00, it can be determined that the listening mode of the first type of PDCCH is to turn off the duration timer and not listen to the first type of PDCCH.

[0066] It can be seen that in this example, the second type of wake-up indication includes one bit of the wake-up indication pair in DCI format 2-6 plus an additional one bit, so that it is possible to determine whether to turn on the duration timer and determine the listening mode of the first type of PDCCH according to the value of the second type of wake-up indication.

[0067] In a possible example, the determining the listening mode of the first type of PDCCH according to the value of the second type of wake-up indication includes: if the value of the second type of wake-up indication is a third value, determining that the listening mode of the first type of PDCCH is to turn off the first timer and listen to the first type of PDCCH.

[0068] Among them, the third value is 01, and the first timer is the duration timer. When the value of the second type of wake-up indication is 01, it can be determined that the listening mode of the first type of PDCCH is to turn off the duration timer and listen to the first type of PDCCH.

[0069] It can be seen that in this example, the second type of wake-up indication includes one bit of the wake-up indication in DCI format 2-6 plus an additional one bit, so that it is possible to determine whether to turn on the duration timer and determine the monitoring mode of the first type of PDCCH according to the value of the second type of wake-up indication.

[0070] In a possible example, the determining the monitoring mode of the first type of PDCCH according to the value of the second type of wake-up indication includes: if the value of the second type of wake-up indication is the fourth value, determining that the monitoring mode of the first type of PDCCH is to turn on the first timer and monitor the first type of PDCCH.

[0071] Wherein, the fourth value is 01, and the first timer is a duration timer. When the value of the second type of wake-up indication is 01, it can be determined that the monitoring mode of the first type of PDCCH is to turn on the duration timer and monitor the first type of PDCCH.

[0072] It can be seen that in this example, the second type of wake-up indication includes one bit of the wake-up indication in DCI format 2-6 plus an additional one bit, so that it is possible to determine whether to turn on the duration timer and determine the monitoring mode of the first type of PDCCH according to the value of the second type of wake-up indication.

[0073] In a possible example, the determining the monitoring mode of the first type of PDCCH according to the value of the second type of wake-up indication includes: if the value of the second type of wake-up indication is the fifth value, determining that the monitoring mode of the first type of PDCCH is to turn off the first timer, monitor the first type of PDCCH, and turn on the inactivity timer corresponding to the first type of PDCCH, and the inactivity timer corresponding to the first type of PDCCH is different from the inactivity timers corresponding to other PDCCHs except the first type of PDCCH.

[0074] Wherein, the fifth value is 10, and the first timer is a duration timer. When the value of the second type of wake-up indication is 00, it can be determined that the monitoring mode of the first type of PDCCH is to turn off and turn on the duration timer, monitor the first type of PDCCH, and at the same time, turn on the inactivity timer corresponding to the first type of PDCCH, and the inactivity timer corresponding to the first type of PDCCH is different from the inactivity timers corresponding to other PDCCHs except the first type of PDCCH.

[0075] It can be seen that in this example, since the heartbeat service corresponding to the first type of PDCCH is a small packet service, the time to turn on the inactivity timer is very short and will not cause much power consumption.

[0076] As described above Figure 1 、 Figure 2Consistently with the embodiments shown, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 which is a schematic flowchart of a physical layer listening method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in the figure, the physical layer listening method includes:

[0077] S301. Determine the listening mode of the first type of PDCCH according to the first type of PDCCH skipping indication, where the first type of PDCCH is the PDCCH corresponding to the heartbeat service.

[0078] Among them, the base station can configure a dedicated PDCCH for the heartbeat service. The configuration of the PDCCH is generally configured through a search space set. Therefore, in fact, the base station can configure a search space set for the heartbeat service, and the PDCCH candidates in this search space set can be regarded as the first type of PDCCH. Here, the first type of PDCCH can also be equivalent to the first type of search space set.

[0079] Among them, whether a PDCCH or a search space set belongs to the heartbeat service can be represented by a parameter in the high-layer parameters of the search space set, that is, it is identified by an information element. That is to say, the distinction between the PDCCH (search space set) corresponding to the heartbeat service and other PDCCHs (search space sets) can be through a parameter in the high-layer parameters of the search space set. In the present application, the PDCCH (search space) corresponding to the heartbeat service is classified as the first type of PDCCH (search space set).

[0080] Among them, the first type of PDCCH skipping indication can be the PDCCH skipping indication in the DCI of the scheduling transmission configuration indication. Determine the listening mode of the first type of PDCCH according to the first type of PDCCH skipping indication, and the listening mode includes listening to the first type of PDCCH and not listening to the first type of PDCCH.

[0081] It can be seen that the physical layer listening method and related devices described in the embodiments of the present application are applied to a user equipment, and the user equipment determines the listening mode of the first type of PDCCH according to the first type of PDCCH skipping indication. Since the wake-up indication and the PDCCH corresponding to the heartbeat service coexist in the system, and the PDCCH skipping indication and the PDCCH corresponding to the heartbeat service also coexist in the system, by classifying the PDCCH corresponding to the heartbeat service as the first type of PDCCH and further determining the listening mode of the first type of PDCCH, it helps to solve the coexistence problem of the wake-up indication and the PDCCH corresponding to the heartbeat service, as well as the coexistence problem of the PDCCH skipping indication and the PDCCH corresponding to the heartbeat service.

[0082] In a possible example, determining the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH according to the first type of PDCCH skipping indication includes: determining the value of the first type of PDCCH skipping indication, where the first type of PDCCH skipping indication includes one bit; if the value of the first type of PDCCH skipping indication is the sixth value, determining the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH as monitoring the first type of PDCCH.

[0083] Among them, the first type of PDCCH skipping indication includes one bit, and 1 bit in the first type of PDCCH skipping indication may not be used for monitoring the first type of PDCCH. In the prior art, if the first type of PDCCH skipping indication is 1, the user equipment will continue to monitor the first type of PDCCH. Generally speaking, if the first type of PDCCH skipping indication is 1, the user equipment does not monitor the PDCCH (a semi-statically configured set of search space sets) within a duration or the active time of a timer. However, considering that the service corresponding to the first type of PDCCH is a long-period small-packet service, it needs to be treated differently. Otherwise, when the user equipment only needs to monitor the first type of PDCCH within this duration or the timer, the base station still cannot set the first type of PDCCH skipping indication to 1, which instead consumes power. It is equivalent to that if the first type of PDCCH skipping indication is to skip PDCCH monitoring, the user equipment will continue to monitor the first type of PDCCH.

[0084] Among them, the value of the first type of PDCCH skipping indication is the sixth value, and the sixth value is 0 or 1, and the standard is to be determined. When the user equipment receives that the value of the first type of PDCCH skipping indication is 0 or 1, it skips monitoring of PDCCH other than the first type of PDCCH within a period of time, or modifies the parameters of PDCCH for a search space set other than the first type of PDCCH.

[0085] It can be seen that in this example, when the value of the first type of PDCCH skipping indication is the sixth value, determining the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH according to the sixth value is more accurate.

[0086] In a possible example, determining the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH according to the first type of PDCCH skipping indication includes: if the value of the first type of PDCCH skipping indication is the sixth value and the second high-layer parameter is the third high-layer parameter value, determining the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH as monitoring the first type of PDCCH.

[0087] Among them, the first type of PDCCH skipping indication includes one bit, and the sixth value is 0 or 1. When the first type of PDCCH skipping indication is 0 or 1, whether the user equipment needs to monitor the first type of PDCCH depends on the second higher-layer parameter, that is, on semi-static signaling. The first type of PDCCH skipping indication is dynamic signaling. After receiving the dynamic signaling, the behavior of the user equipment still depends on semi-static signaling. The second higher-layer parameter includes two values, namely the third higher-layer parameter value and the fourth higher-layer parameter value. The third higher-layer parameter value and the fourth higher-layer parameter value correspond to monitoring and non-monitoring respectively. Here, the second higher-layer parameter can be understood as a switch, including two states: on or off.

[0088] Among them, when the second higher-layer parameter is the third higher-layer parameter value, the monitoring mode of the first type of PDCCH can be determined as monitoring the first type of PDCCH.

[0089] It can be seen that in this example, when the value of the first type of PDCCH skipping indication is the sixth value, determining the monitoring mode of the first type of PDCCH according to the value of the second higher-layer parameter is more accurate.

[0090] In a possible example, the determining the monitoring mode of the first type of PDCCH according to the first type of PDCCH skipping indication includes: if the value of the first type of PDCCH skipping indication is the sixth value and the second higher-layer parameter is the fourth higher-layer parameter value, determining the monitoring mode of the first type of PDCCH as not monitoring the first type of PDCCH.

[0091] Among them, the first type of PDCCH skipping indication includes one bit, and the first value is 0 or 1. When the first type of PDCCH skipping indication is 0 or 1, whether the user equipment needs to monitor the first type of PDCCH depends on the second higher-layer parameter, that is, on semi-static signaling. The first type of wake-up indication is dynamic signaling. After receiving the dynamic signaling, the behavior of the user equipment still depends on semi-static signaling. The second higher-layer parameter includes two values, namely the third higher-layer parameter value and the fourth higher-layer parameter value. The third higher-layer parameter value and the fourth higher-layer parameter value correspond to monitoring and non-monitoring respectively. Here, the second higher-layer parameter can be understood as a switch, including two states: on or off.

[0092] Among them, when the second higher-layer parameter is the fourth higher-layer parameter value, the monitoring mode of the first type of PDCCH can be determined as not monitoring the first type of PDCCH.

[0093] It can be seen that in this example, when the value of the first type of PDCCH skipping indication is the sixth value, determining the monitoring mode of the first type of PDCCH according to the value of the second higher-layer parameter is more accurate.

[0094] In a possible example, determining the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH according to the first type of PDCCH skipping indication includes: if the value of the first type of PDCCH skipping indication is the sixth value and the second logical channel priority is greater than or equal to the second threshold, determining that the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH is to monitor the first type of PDCCH.

[0095] Wherein, the first type of PDCCH skipping indication includes one bit, the first value is 0 or 1. When the first type of PDCCH skipping indication is 0 or, whether the user equipment needs to monitor the first type of PDCCH depends on the second logical channel priority. The first type of PDCCH skipping indication is dynamic signaling. After receiving the dynamic signaling, the behavior of the user equipment still depends on the second logical channel priority corresponding to the first type of PDCCH. If the second logical channel priority is greater than or equal to the second threshold, the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH is to monitor the first type of PDCCH.

[0096] It can be seen that in this example, when the value of the first type of PDCCH skipping indication is the sixth value, determining the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH according to the second logical channel priority is more accurate.

[0097] In a possible example, determining the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH according to the first type of PDCCH skipping indication includes: if the value of the first type of PDCCH skipping indication is the sixth value and the second logical channel priority is less than the second threshold, determining that the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH is not to monitor the first type of PDCCH.

[0098] Wherein, the first type of PDCCH skipping indication includes one bit, the first value is 0 or 1. When the first type of PDCCH skipping indication is 0 or, whether the user equipment needs to monitor the first type of PDCCH depends on the second logical channel priority. The first type of PDCCH skipping indication is dynamic signaling. After receiving the dynamic signaling, the behavior of the user equipment still depends on the second logical channel priority corresponding to the first type of PDCCH. If the second logical channel priority is less than the second threshold, the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH is not to monitor the first type of PDCCH.

[0099] It can be seen that in this example, when the value of the first type of PDCCH skipping indication is the sixth value, determining the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH according to the second logical channel priority is more accurate.

[0100] Consistent with the embodiments shown above Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4It is a schematic flowchart of a physical layer monitoring method provided by an embodiment of this application. As shown in the figure, this physical layer monitoring method includes:

[0101] S401. Determine the monitoring mode of the first type of PDCCH according to the second type of PDCCH skip indication, where the first type of PDCCH is the PDCCH corresponding to the heartbeat service.

[0102] Among them, the base station can configure a dedicated PDCCH for the heartbeat service. The configuration of the PDCCH is generally configured through a search space set. Therefore, in fact, the base station can configure a search space set for the heartbeat service, and the PDCCH candidates in this search space set can be regarded as the first type of PDCCH. Here, the first type of PDCCH can also be equivalent to the first type of search space set.

[0103] Among them, whether a PDCCH or a search space set belongs to the heartbeat service can be represented by a parameter in the high-layer parameters of the search space set, that is, it is identified by an information element. That is to say, the distinction between the PDCCH (search space set) corresponding to the heartbeat service and other PDCCHs (search space sets) can be through a parameter in the high-layer parameters of the search space set. In this application, the PDCCH (search space) corresponding to the heartbeat service is classified as the first type of PDCCH (search space set).

[0104] Among them, the second type of PDCCH skip indication can be one bit corresponding to the PDCCH skip indication in the scheduling transmission configuration indication DCI plus an additional one bit. This additional one bit can be one bit before or after the one bit corresponding to the PDCCH skip indication in the scheduling DCI, and it is an adjacent one bit.

[0105] It can be seen that the physical layer monitoring method and related devices described in the embodiments of this application are applied to the user equipment. The user equipment determines the monitoring mode of the first type of PDCCH according to the second type of PDCCH skip indication. Since the wake-up indication and the PDCCH corresponding to the heartbeat service coexist in the system, and the PDCCH skip indication and the PDCCH corresponding to the heartbeat service also coexist in the system, by classifying the PDCCH corresponding to the heartbeat service as the first type of PDCCH and further determining the monitoring mode of the first type of PDCCH, it helps to solve the coexistence problem of the wake-up indication and the PDCCH corresponding to the heartbeat service, and the coexistence problem of the PDCCH skip indication and the PDCCH corresponding to the heartbeat service.

[0106] In a possible example, determining the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH according to the value of the second type of PDCCH skipping indication includes: if the value of the second type of PDCCH skipping indication is the seventh value, determining that the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH is not to monitor the PDCCH, where the PDCCH includes the first type of PDCCH.

[0107] Among them, the second type of wake-up indication includes two bits, and the values corresponding to the two bits may be 00, or 01, or 11, or 10. First, determine the value of the second type of wake-up indication, and then determine the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH according to the value of the second type of wake-up indication.

[0108] It can be seen that in this example, the second type of PDCCH skipping indication is one bit corresponding to the PDCCH skipping indication in the scheduling transmission configuration indication DCI plus an additional one bit, so that the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH can be determined according to the value of the second type of PDCCH skipping indication.

[0109] In a possible example, determining the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH according to the value of the second type of PDCCH skipping indication includes: if the value of the second type of wake-up indication is the seventh value, determining that the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH is not to monitor the PDCCH, where the PDCCH includes the first type of PDCCH.

[0110] Among them, the seventh value is 00. When the value of the second type of PDCCH skipping indication is 00, it can be determined that the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH is not to monitor the PDCCH, where the PDCCH includes the first type of PDCCH.

[0111] It can be seen that in this example, the second type of PDCCH skipping indication is one bit corresponding to the PDCCH skipping indication in the scheduling transmission configuration indication DCI plus an additional one bit, so that the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH can be determined according to the value of the second type of PDCCH skipping indication.

[0112] In a possible example, determining the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH according to the value of the second type of PDCCH skipping indication includes: if the value of the second type of wake-up indication is the eighth value, determining that the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH is not to monitor the PDCCH within the configured duration, where the PDCCH includes the first type of PDCCH.

[0113] Among them, the eighth value is 01. When the value of the second type of PDCCH skipping indication is 01, it can be determined that the monitoring manner of the first type of PDCCH is not to monitor the PDCCH within the configured duration, where the PDCCH includes the first type of PDCCH.

[0114] It can be seen that in this example, the second - type PDCCH skip indication is one bit corresponding to the PDCCH skip indication in the scheduling transmission configuration indication DCI plus an additional one bit. Thus, the monitoring manner of the first - type PDCCH can be determined according to the value of the second - type PDCCH skip indication.

[0115] In a possible example, determining the monitoring manner of the first - type PDCCH according to the value of the second - type PDCCH skip indication includes: if the value of the second - type wake - up indication is the ninth value, determining that the monitoring manner of the first - type PDCCH is not to monitor other PDCCHs except the first - type PDCCH within the configured duration.

[0116] Wherein, the ninth value is 11. When the value of the second - type PDCCH skip indication is 11, it can be determined that the monitoring manner of the first - type PDCCH is not to monitor other PDCCHs except the first - type PDCCH within the configured duration.

[0117] It can be seen that in this example, since the heartbeat service corresponding to the first - type PDCCH is a small - packet service, the time to turn on the in - active timer is very short and will not cause much power consumption.

[0118] Consistent with the above - mentioned embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 FIG. is a schematic structural diagram of a user equipment provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in the figure, the user equipment includes a processor 510, a memory 520, a communication interface 530, and one or more programs 521. Among them, the above - mentioned one or more programs 521 are stored in the above - mentioned memory 520 and are configured to be executed by the above - mentioned processor 510. In the embodiment of the present application, the above - mentioned programs include instructions for performing the following steps:

[0119] Determining the monitoring manner of the first - type physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) according to the first - type wake - up indication; or,

[0120] Determining the monitoring manner of the first - type PDCCH according to the second - type wake - up indication; or,

[0121] Determining the monitoring manner of the first - type PDCCH according to the first - type PDCCH skip indication; or,

[0122] Determining the monitoring manner of the first - type PDCCH according to the second - type PDCCH skip indication.

[0123] It can be seen that the physical layer listening method and related devices described in the embodiments of the present application are applied to a user equipment.
