Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of wireless communication, and more particularly, to an information transmission method and device, a communication device, and a storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the related art, it is proposed to use additional tracking reference signals (TRS) and channel state indication reference signals (CSI-RS) in an idle state to assist users in acquiring and synchronizing with the network in the time and frequency domains. Compared with the original synchronization broadcast block (SSB), the TRS / CSI-RS can be configured to be closer to the paging occasion (PO) time, while the original SSB is farther away from the PO position. When using the SSB for synchronization, the UE needs to wake up for a long time in advance and then synchronize with the SSB. When using the TRS / CSI-RS for synchronization, the UE can wake up later, and thus can save more power. SUMMARY

For example, without departing from the scope of embodiments of the present disclosure, first information can also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information can also be referred to as first information. Depending on the context, the word "if' as used herein can be interpreted as meaning "when" or "upon determining" or "in response to determining".

[0191] Reference is made to Figure 1 which shows a structure diagram of a wireless communication system provided by embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 1 , the wireless communication system is a communication system based on cellular mobile communication technology, and the wireless communication system can include a plurality of terminals 11 and a plurality of base stations 12.

[0192] The terminal 11 can be a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to a user. The terminal 11 can communicate with one or more core networks via a Radio Access Network (RAN), and the terminal 11 can be an Internet of Things terminal, such as a sensor device, a mobile phone (or "cellular" phone), and a computer with an Internet of Things terminal, for example, which can be a fixed, portable, pocket, handheld, built-in, or vehicle-mounted device. For example, a Station (STA), a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a mobile, a remote station, an access point, a remote terminal, an access terminal, a user terminal, a user agent, a user device, or a user equipment (UE). Alternatively, the terminal 11 can also be a device of an unmanned aerial vehicle. Alternatively, the terminal 11 can also be a vehicle-mounted device, which can be a vehicle-mounted computer with wireless communication function or a wireless communication device externally connected to the vehicle-mounted computer. Alternatively, the terminal 11 can also be a roadside device, which can be a street lamp, a signal lamp, or other roadside devices with wireless communication function, etc.

[0193] The base station 12 can be a network side device in a wireless communication system. The wireless communication system can be a 4th generation mobile communication (4G) system, also referred to as a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, or the wireless communication system can be a 5G system, also referred to as a new radio (NR) system or a 5G NR system. Alternatively, the wireless communication system can be a further next generation system of the 5G system. In the 5G system, the access network can be referred to as a new generation radio access network (NG-RAN). Alternatively, the MTC system.

[0194] The base station 12 can be an evolved NodeB (eNB) in a 4G system. Alternatively, the base station 12 can be a base station (gNB) in a 5G system using a centralized and distributed architecture. When the base station 12 uses the centralized and distributed architecture, the base station 12 generally includes a central unit (CU) and at least two distributed units (DUs). The CU is configured to have a protocol stack of a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer, a radio link control (RLC) layer, and a media access control (MAC) layer. The DUs are configured to have a protocol stack of a physical (PHY) layer. The specific implementation of the base station 12 is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0195] The base station 12 and the terminal 11 can establish a wireless connection through a wireless air interface. In different embodiments, the wireless air interface is a wireless air interface based on a 4th generation mobile communication (4G) standard, or the wireless air interface is a wireless air interface based on a 5th generation mobile communication (5G) standard, such as a new radio (NR) air interface, or the wireless air interface can be a wireless air interface based on a further next generation mobile communication network technology standard of the 5G.

For example, V2V (vehicle to vehicle) communication, V2I (vehicle to infrastructure) communication, and V2P (vehicle to pedestrian) communication in V2X (vehicle to everything) communication, and the like.

[0197] In some embodiments, the wireless communication system described above can further include a network management device 13.

[0198] A plurality of base stations 12 are respectively connected to the network management device 13. The network management device 13 can be a core network device in the wireless communication system, for example, the network management device 13 can be a MME (Mobility Management Entity) in an EPC (Evolved Packet Core). Alternatively, the network management device can also be other core network devices, such as a SGW (Serving GateWay), a PGW (Public Data Network GateWay), a PCRF (Policy and Charging Rules Function), or a HSS (Home Subscriber Server), etc. The implementation form of the network management device 13 is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0199] The execution subject involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure includes but is not limited to: a UE such as a mobile phone terminal supporting cellular mobile communication, and a base station, etc.

[0200] One application scenario of the embodiments of the present disclosure is that the inconsistency in understanding of information associated with TRS / CSI-RS on both sides of the base station and the UE will cause great problems. For example, the network side sends valid TRS / CSI-RS, while the UE considers that there is no TRS / CSI-RS, then the terminal will use the original synchronization SSB mode to cause great power consumption; on the contrary, if the network side stops sending valid TRS / CRS, and the UE still understands the original synchronization with TRS / CRS, then the synchronization accuracy will be reduced. The network side can be configured with the resource configuration of TRS / CSI-RS, and the network side can decide whether to take effect on the resource configuration. How to make the network side and the UE consistent in understanding whether to take effect on the resource configuration of TRS / CSI-RS is a problem to be solved urgently.

[0201] For example, as shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of base stations 12 are connected to a network management device 13, and a plurality of terminals 11 are connected to the base stations 12. Figure 2As shown, the present exemplary embodiment provides an information transmission method, which can be applied in a base station, comprising:

[0202] Step 201: sending first indication information, wherein the first indication information is used to indicate an initial state of resource configuration information of a reference signal, and the resource configuration information is used to at least indicate transmission resources of the reference signal.

[0203] The base station can be configured with resource configuration information used to at least indicate transmission resources of a reference signal. The base station can send the resource configuration information to a UE in the form of broadcasting or unicasting. The UE can determine at least the transmission resources of the reference signal based on the resource configuration information. The UE can be in an inactive state, an idle state, or the like.

[0204] Here, the reference signal can be, but is not limited to, a signal used by the UE to perform time domain and / or frequency domain synchronization. The UE can receive the reference signal based on the transmission resources indicated by the resource configuration information, and then achieve synchronization. The transmission resources indicated by the resource configuration information include, but are not limited to, frequency domain resources, time domain resources, and / or code domain resources.

[0205] The base station can set the validity of the resource configuration information. For example, the resource configuration information can be set to an active state or a deactivated state. When the resource configuration information is in the active state, it means that the transmission resources configured by the resource configuration information exist reasonably, and the base station actually sends the reference signal corresponding to the transmission resources. At this time, for the UE, it is available, and the network side expects the UE to use it. When the resource configuration information is in the deactivated state, it means that the transmission resources configured by the resource configuration information can not exist reasonably, or the transmission resources configured by the resource configuration information can exist reasonably, but the network side does not send the reference signal using the transmission resources. When the resource configuration information is in the deactivated state, for the UE, the reference signal transmitted by the transmission resources is available, and the network side expects the UE to use it.

[0206] The initial state of the resource configuration information can be an initial validity state set by the base station for the resource configuration information. The initial state can be a default state set by the base station for the resource configuration information, or a state of the resource configuration information set by the base station for the UE in initial access, or the like.

[0207] The base station can send the first indication information to the UE in the form of broadcasting or unicasting. After receiving the first indication information, the UE can determine the initial state of the resource configuration information.

[0208] Thus, the base station explicitly indicates the initial state of the resource configuration information through the first indication information, and the UE determines the initial state of the resource configuration information based on the first indication information, so that the base station and the UE reach an understanding on the state of the resource configuration information, and the situation that the UE cannot accurately receive the reference signal due to the inconsistent understanding of the base station and the UE on the state of the resource configuration information is reduced.

[0209] In one embodiment, the sending the first indication information comprises:

[0210] sending an RRC message carrying the first indication information;

[0211] sending a system message carrying the first indication information;

[0212] sending a DCI message carrying the first indication information.

[0213] The base station notifies the UE of the initial state of the resource configuration information of the reference signal by broadcasting a system message or dedicated signaling such as an RRC message or a DCI message.

[0214] For example, the first indication information can be carried in an RRC release message.

[0215] Thus, the amount of information carried by the system message or the dedicated signaling such as the RRC message or the DCI message can be increased, and the transmission efficiency can be increased.

[0216] In one embodiment, the reference signal comprises at least one of:

[0217] a channel state indication reference signal (CSI-RS);

[0218] a synchronization signal block (SSB);

[0219] a tracking reference signal (TRS).

[0220] The initial state of the resource configuration information can be the initial state of the resource configuration information of the CSI-RS, and / or the TRS, and / or the SSB.

[0221] The UE can determine the initial state of the resource configuration information of the CSI-RS, and / or the TRS, and / or the SSB based on the first indication information, and further determine whether synchronization can be performed based on the CSI-RS, and / or the TSR, and / or the SSB.

[0222] For example, in response to the initial state of the resource configuration information of the CSI-RS and / or the TSR being the active state, the UE can receive the CSI-RS and / or the TSR on the transmission resource indicated by the resource configuration information and synchronize with the CSI-RS and / or the TSR. In response to the initial state of the resource configuration information of the CSI-RS and / or the TSR being the inactive state, the UE can synchronize with the SSB.

[0223] In this way, on the one hand, the situation of the UE synchronizing with the CSI-RS and / or the TSR in the inactive state of the resource configuration information due to the inconsistency in understanding of the resource configuration information by the base station and the UE, resulting in a decrease in synchronization accuracy, can be reduced. On the other hand, the situation of the UE synchronizing with the SSB in the active state of the resource configuration information due to the inconsistency in understanding of the resource configuration information by the base station and the UE, resulting in an increase in power consumption, can be reduced.

[0224] In one embodiment, the initial state of the resource configuration information includes one of the following:

[0225] a fixed active state;

[0226] a variable active state;

[0227] a variable inactive state.

[0228] In response to the resource configuration information being in the fixed active state, the state of the resource configuration information cannot be changed, and the resource configuration information is in a persistent active state. The base station will not change the state of the resource configuration information, and will not send information associated with the state change of the resource configuration information to indicate the change of the state of the resource configuration information.

[0229] In response to the resource configuration information being in the fixed active state, the UE receives the reference signal based on the transmission resource indicated by the resource configuration information. And the UE can no longer continue to monitor the information associated with the state change of the resource configuration information. It is always determined that the resource configuration information is in the active state.

[0230] In response to the resource configuration information being in the variable active state, the state of the resource configuration information can be changed. The base station can change the state of the resource configuration information, and send information associated with the state change of the resource configuration information to indicate the change of the state of the resource configuration information. For example, the base station can adjust the resource configuration information to a variable inactive state, and send information associated with the state change of the resource configuration information to indicate that the state of the resource configuration information is changed to the inactive state.

[0231] In response to the resource configuration information being in the variable deactivation state, the state of the resource configuration information can be changed. The base station can change the state of the resource configuration information, and send information associated with the change in the state of the resource configuration information to indicate the change in the state of the resource configuration information. For example, the base station can adjust the resource configuration information to the variable activation state, and send information associated with the change in the state of the resource configuration information to indicate that the state of the resource configuration information is changed to the activation state.

[0232] In response to the resource configuration information being in the variable activation state or the variable deactivation state, the UE determines whether to receive the reference signal based on the indication of the resource configuration information. And the UE can continue to monitor the information associated with the change in the state of the resource configuration information.

[0233] In this way, different initial states are indicated by the first indication information. The flexibility of indicating the resource configuration information is improved.

[0234] In one embodiment, in response to the first indication information indicating that the resource configuration information is in the fixed activation state, the method further comprises:

[0235] In response to the user equipment (UE) switching from a first radio resource control (RRC) state to a second RRC state, reconfiguring the resource configuration information.

[0236] Here, the resource configuration information is reconfigured, that is, the simultaneously activated resource configuration information is reconfigured.

[0237] After sending the first indication information, the terminal knows that the resource configuration information is in the fixed activation state. At this time, the base station can configure the simultaneously activated resource configuration information. The first indication information can be sent to the UE by being carried in a downlink message. For example, the first indication information can be sent to the UE by being carried in an RRC message. In response to the first indication information indicating that the resource configuration information is in the fixed activation state, the base station and the UE determine that the resource configuration information is in the fixed activation state. And the base station does not need to send other information to indicate the change in the state of the resource configuration information.

[0238] After receiving the first indication information indicating the fixed activation state, the UE can no longer monitor the second indication information, that is, the indication information indicating the change in the state of the resource configuration information.

[0239] The base station can configure different transmission resources of the reference signal for UEs in different RRC states. Therefore, when the RRC state of the UE changes, the base station can reconfigure different transmission resources for the UE. Here, the first RRC state is different from the second RRC state. The first RRC state can be an RRC inactive state or an RRC idle state. The second RRC state can be an RRC idle state or an RRC inactive state.

[0240] In an embodiment, in response to the first indication information indicating that the resource configuration information is in the fixed active state, the transmission resource of the reference signal indicated by the resource configuration information is a periodic transmission resource.

[0241] In response to the first indication information indicating that the resource configuration information is in the fixed active state, the transmission resource of the reference signal can be a periodic transmission resource. For example, the transmission resource of the reference signal can be a transmission resource that is separated by a predetermined number of DRX cycles. In an embodiment, in a scenario where the terminal is configured with eDRX, the terminal determines that the resource configuration information is in the active state only within the PTW window.

[0242] In an embodiment, in response to the first indication information indicating that the resource configuration information is in the variable active state, the method further comprises: sending second indication information, wherein the second indication information is used to indicate that the resource configuration information switches from the variable active state to the variable inactive state.

[0243] Alternatively,

[0244] In response to the first indication information indicating that the resource configuration information is in the variable inactive state, the method further comprises: sending the second indication information, wherein the second indication information is used to indicate that the resource configuration information switches from the variable inactive state to the variable active state.

[0245] The second indication information can be a switching signal indicating that the resource configuration information switches between two or more states. For example, the second indication information can be a signal indicating that the resource configuration information switches between the variable inactive state and the variable active state. If the UE currently determines that the resource configuration information is in the variable inactive state, if the second indication information is received, the UE determines that the resource configuration information is in the variable active state; if the UE currently determines that the resource configuration information is in the variable active state, if the second indication information is received, the UE determines that the resource configuration information is in the variable inactive state.

[0246] The second indication information can also directly indicate the state to be changed by the resource configuration information. For example, the second indication information can directly indicate that the state of the resource configuration information is changed to the variable inactive state, or the second indication information can directly indicate that the state of the resource configuration information is changed to the variable active state.

[0247] In this way, the second indication information indicates the change of the state of the resource configuration information, so that the base station can notify the UE when changing the state of the resource configuration information, and thus the understanding of the base station and the UE for the resource configuration information is consistent.

[0248] In response to the second indication information indicating that the resource configuration information switches from the variable active state to the variable deactivation state, the time length for which the resource configuration information remains in the deactivation state can be infinite. The base station can reactivate the resource configuration information and send the second indication information to the UE again for indicating that the resource configuration information switches from the variable deactivation state to the variable active state.

[0249] In response to the second indication information indicating that the resource configuration information switches from the variable deactivation state to the variable active state, the time length for which the resource configuration information remains in the active state can be infinite. The base station can reactivate the resource configuration information and send the second indication information to the UE again for indicating that the resource configuration information switches from the variable active state to the variable deactivation state.

[0250] The UE can determine, based on the indication of the second indication information, that the resource configuration information is in the variable active state or the variable deactivation state.

[0251] In one embodiment, in response to the second indication information indicating that the resource configuration information switches from the variable active state to the variable deactivation state, the method further includes: maintaining the resource configuration information in the variable deactivation state for a first validity time length;

[0252] Or,

[0253] In response to the second indication information indicating that the resource configuration information switches from the variable deactivation state to the variable active state, the method further includes: maintaining the resource configuration information in the variable active state for a second validity time length.

[0254] In response to the second indication information indicating that the resource configuration information switches from the variable active state to the variable deactivation state, the time length for which the resource configuration information remains in the deactivation state can be a first validity time length. After the first validity time length ends, the base station can reactivate the resource configuration information.

[0255] The UE can determine that, within the first validity time length, the resource configuration information is in the deactivation state, and that, outside the first validity time length, the resource configuration information is in the active state.

[0256] In response to the second indication information indicating that the resource configuration information switches from the variable deactivation state to the variable active state, the time length for which the resource configuration information remains in the active state can be a second validity time length. After the second validity time length ends, the base station can reactivate the resource configuration information.

[0257] The UE can determine that, within the second validity time length, the resource configuration information is in the active state, and that, outside the second validity time length, the resource configuration information is in the deactivation state.

[0258] In an embodiment, the first validity duration or the second validity duration is pre-configured by a network side.

[0259] Alternatively,

[0260] The first validity duration or the second validity duration is specified by a communication protocol.

[0261] Here, the first validity duration can be pre-configured by a core network or the like, or can be specified by a communication protocol.

[0262] Here, the second validity duration can be pre-configured by a core network or the like, or can be specified by a communication protocol.

[0263] In an embodiment, the first validity duration or the second validity duration is continuous in time domain.

[0264] Alternatively,

[0265] The first validity duration or the second validity duration includes at least two sub-validity durations which are discontinuous in time domain.

[0266] The first validity duration can be a continuous duration in time domain. The resource configuration information can be kept in a variable deactivation state within the continuous duration. After the first validity duration, the resource configuration information can be kept in a variable activation state.

[0267] For example, the first validity duration can be N DRX cycles or modification cycles, or N SFN / H-SFN, N being a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0268] The first validity duration is composed of at least two sub-validity durations which are discontinuous in time domain. The resource configuration information can be kept in a variable deactivation state within the sub-validity duration, and kept in a variable activation state outside the sub-validity duration.

[0269] In an embodiment, the first validity duration can be a duration outside a PTW window of eDRX in a cycle. The interval in the duration outside the PTW window is the sub-validity duration.

[0270] The second validity duration can be a continuous duration in time domain. The resource configuration information can be kept in a variable activation state within the continuous duration. After the second validity duration, the resource configuration information can be kept in a variable deactivation state.

[0271] For example, the second validity duration can be N DRX cycles or modification cycles, or N SFN / H-SFN, N being a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0272] The second effective duration is composed of at least two sub-effective durations discontinuous in time domain. The resource configuration information can keep a variable active state within the sub-effective duration and keep a variable deactivation state outside the sub-effective duration.

[0273] In an embodiment, the second effective duration can be a PTW window of eDRX periodically occurring. The PTW window is the sub-effective duration.

[0274] In an embodiment, the method further comprises:

[0275] sending first duration information indicating the first effective duration;

[0276] Or,

[0277] sending second duration information indicating the second effective duration.

[0278] The base station can send the first duration information to the UE for indicating the first effective duration. After receiving the second indication information, the UE can determine the first effective duration in which the resource configuration information keeps a deactivation state.

[0279] The base station can send the second duration information to the UE for indicating the second effective duration. After receiving the second indication information, the UE can determine the second effective duration in which the resource configuration information keeps an activation state.

[0280] Here, the first duration information and the second duration information can be the same, i.e., the same information. Here, the first duration information and the second duration information can also be different.

[0281] The first effective duration and the second effective duration can be the same or different.

[0282] In an embodiment, the sending of the first duration information indicating the first effective duration comprises:

[0283] sending the second indication information carrying the first duration information;

[0284] The sending of the second duration information indicating the second effective duration comprises:

[0285] sending the second indication information carrying the second duration information.

[0286] The first duration information can be carried in the second indication information. The UE can simultaneously determine that the resource configuration information switches from a variable activation state to a variable deactivation state. And can determine that the resource configuration information keeps a deactivation state.

[0287] By carrying the first duration information in the second indication information, the amount of information carried by the second indication information is increased. The communication efficiency is improved.

[0288] The second duration information can be carried in the second indication information. The UE can determine that the resource configuration information is switched from the variable deactivation state to the variable activation state at the same time. And can determine that the resource configuration information remains in the deactivation state.

[0289] By carrying the second duration information through the second indication information, the amount of information carried by the second indication information is increased. The communication efficiency is improved.

[0290] In one embodiment, the sending of the second indication information comprises one of the following:

[0291] Sending an RRC message carrying the second indication information;

[0292] Sending a downlink control information (DCI) message carrying the second indication information.

[0293] The base station informs the UE of the initial state of the resource configuration information of the reference signal by an RRC message or a DCI message carrying the second indication information. The existing RRC message or DCI message can be used to carry the second indication information, or a new RRC message or DCI message can be added to carry the second indication information.

[0294] In this way, the amount of information carried by the RRC message or the DCI message can be increased, and the transmission efficiency can be increased.

[0295] As shown in FIG. 1, the present exemplary embodiment provides an information transmission method, which can be applied to a UE, comprising: Figure 3

[0296] Step 301: determining the initial state of the resource configuration information of the reference signal according to the first indication information, wherein the resource configuration information is used at least to indicate the transmission resource of the reference signal.

[0297] The UE can determine the transmission resource of the reference signal based on the resource configuration information. The UE can be in a non-activation state or an idle state, etc.

[0298] The initial state of the resource configuration information can be an initial effective state set by the base station for the resource configuration information. The initial state can be a default state set by the base station for the resource configuration information, or a state of the resource configuration information set by the base station for the initial access of the UE, etc.

[0299] Here, the reference signal can be, but is not limited to, a signal used for time domain and / or frequency domain synchronization of the UE. The UE can receive the reference signal based on the transmission resource indicated by the resource configuration information, and then realize synchronization. The transmission resource indicated by the resource configuration information includes, but is not limited to, frequency domain resource, time domain resource and / or code domain resource. ​

[0300] The network side such as a base station can set an initial state of the resource configuration information. For example, the resource configuration information can be set to an active state or a deactivated state. The resource configuration information in the active state means that the transmission resource configured by the resource configuration information is reasonably existent, and the base station actually transmits a reference signal corresponding to the transmission resource, which is available to the UE and expected to be used by the UE. The resource configuration information in the deactivated state means that the transmission resource configured by the resource configuration information can be unreasonable, or the transmission resource configured by the resource configuration information can be reasonable, but the network side does not transmit a reference signal using the transmission resource. The resource configuration information in the deactivated state means that the reference signal transmitted by the transmission resource is available to the UE and expected to be used by the UE.

[0301] In one embodiment, the first indication information is specified by a communication protocol.

[0302] In one embodiment, the method further includes receiving the first indication information transmitted by the base station.

[0303] The base station can be configured with the resource configuration information at least for indicating the transmission resource of the reference signal. The base station can transmit the resource configuration information to the UE in the form of broadcasting or unicasting.

[0304] The base station can transmit the first indication information to the UE in the form of broadcasting or unicasting. After receiving the first indication information, the UE can determine the initial state of the resource configuration information.

[0305] In this way, the base station explicitly indicates the initial state of the resource configuration information through the first indication information, and the UE determines the initial state of the resource configuration information based on the first indication information, so that the base station and the UE reach an understanding on the state of the resource configuration information, and the situation that the UE cannot accurately receive the reference signal due to the inconsistent understanding of the base station and the UE on the state of the resource configuration information is reduced.

[0306] In one embodiment, the receiving of the first indication information transmitted by the base station includes one of the following:

[0307] receiving a radio resource control (RRC) message carrying the first indication information;

[0308] receiving a system message carrying the first indication information;

[0309] transmitting a downlink control information (DCI) message carrying the first indication information.

[0310] The base station notifies the UE of the initial state of the resource configuration information of the reference signal by broadcasting a system message or dedicated signaling such as an RRC message or a DCI message carrying the first indication information.

[0311] For example, the first indication information can be carried in an RRC release message.

[0312] In this way, the amount of information carried by system messages or dedicated signaling, such as RRC messages or DCI messages, can be increased, and transmission efficiency can be improved.

[0313] In an embodiment, the reference signal includes at least one of:

[0314] a channel state indication reference signal (CSI-RS);

[0315] a synchronization signal block (SSB);

[0316] a tracking reference signal (TRS).

[0317] The initial state of the resource configuration information can be the initial state of the resource configuration information of the CSI-RS and / or the TRS and / or the SSB.

[0318] The UE can determine the initial state of the resource configuration information of the CSI-RS and / or the TRS and / or the SSB based on the first indication information, and further determine whether synchronization can be performed based on the CSI-RS and / or the TRS and / or the SSB.

[0319] For example, in response to the initial state of the resource configuration information of the CSI-RS and / or the TRS being an active state, the UE can receive the CSI-RS and / or the TRS on the transmission resource indicated by the resource configuration information and perform synchronization using the CSI-RS and / or the TRS. In response to the initial state of the resource configuration information of the CSI-RS and / or the TRS being a deactivated state, the UE can perform synchronization using the SSB.

[0320] In this way, on the one hand, the situation of reduced synchronization accuracy caused by the UE performing synchronization using the CSI-RS and / or the TRS in the deactivated state of the resource configuration information due to inconsistent understanding of the resource configuration information by the base station and the UE can be reduced. On the other hand, the situation of increased power consumption caused by the UE performing synchronization using the SSB in the activated state of the resource configuration information due to inconsistent understanding of the resource configuration information by the base station and the UE can be reduced.

[0321] In an embodiment, the initial state of the resource configuration information includes one of:

[0322] a fixed active state;

[0323] a variable active state;

[0324] a variable deactivated state.

[0325] In response to the resource configuration information being in the fixed active state, the state of the resource configuration information cannot be changed, and is in a persistent active state. The base station will not change the state of the resource configuration information, and will not send information associated with a change in the state of the resource configuration information to indicate a change in the state of the resource configuration information.

[0326] In response to the resource configuration information being in the fixed active state, the UE receives the reference signal based on the transmission resource indicated by the resource configuration information. And the UE can no longer continue to monitor the information associated with the change in the state of the resource configuration information. It is always determined that the resource configuration information is in the active state.

[0327] In response to the resource configuration information being in the variable active state, the state of the resource configuration information can be changed. The base station can change the state of the resource configuration information, and send information associated with a change in the state of the resource configuration information to indicate a change in the state of the resource configuration information. For example, the base station can adjust the resource configuration information to a variable deactivation state, and send information associated with a change in the state of the resource configuration information to indicate that the state of the resource configuration information is changed to the deactivation state.

[0328] In response to the resource configuration information being in the variable deactivation state, the state of the resource configuration information can be changed. The base station can change the state of the resource configuration information, and send information associated with a change in the state of the resource configuration information to indicate a change in the state of the resource configuration information. For example, the base station can adjust the resource configuration information to a variable active state, and send information associated with a change in the state of the resource configuration information to indicate that the state of the resource configuration information is changed to the active state.

[0329] In response to the resource configuration information being in the variable active state or the variable deactivation state, the UE determines whether to receive the reference signal based on the indication of the resource configuration information. And the UE can continue to monitor the information associated with the change in the state of the resource configuration information.

[0330] In this way, different initial states are indicated by the first indication information. The flexibility of indicating the resource configuration information is improved.

[0331] In one embodiment, in response to the first indication information indicating that the resource configuration information is in the fixed active state, the method further comprises:

[0332] In response to the UE switching from a first RRC state to a second RRC state, receiving the reconfigured resource configuration information.

[0333] Here, the resource configuration information is reconfigured, that is, the simultaneously activated resource configuration information is reconfigured.

[0334] The terminal learns that the resource configuration information is in the fixed active state after sending the first indication information. At this time, the base station can configure the resource configuration information to be in the active state. The first indication information can be sent to the UE by being carried in a downlink message. For example, the first indication information can be sent to the UE by being carried in an RRC message. In response to the first indication information indicating that the resource configuration information is in the fixed active state, the base station and the UE determine that the resource configuration information is in the fixed active state. Moreover, the base station does not need to send other information to indicate a change in the state of the resource configuration information.

[0335] After receiving the first indication information indicating the fixed active state, the UE can no longer listen to the second indication information, that is, no longer listen to the indication information indicating a change in the state of the resource configuration information.

[0336] For UEs in different RRC states, the base station can configure different transmission resources of reference signals. Therefore, when the RRC state of the UE changes, the base station can reconfigure different transmission resources for the UE. Here, the first RRC state is different from the second RRC state. The first RRC state can be an RRC inactive state or an RRC idle state. The second RRC state can be an RRC idle state or an RRC inactive state.

[0337] In one embodiment, in response to the first indication information indicating that the resource configuration information is in the fixed active state, the transmission resource of the reference signal indicated by the resource configuration information is a periodic transmission resource.

[0338] In response to the first indication information indicating that the resource configuration information is in the fixed active state, the transmission resource of the reference signal can be a periodic transmission resource. For example, the transmission resource of the reference signal can be a transmission resource that is separated by a predetermined number of DRX cycles. In one embodiment, in the scenario of configuring eDRX, the terminal only determines that the resource configuration information is in the active state within the PTW window.

[0339] In one embodiment, in response to determining that the resource configuration information is in the variable active state, the method further comprises: receiving second indication information, wherein the second indication information is used to indicate that the resource configuration information switches from the variable active state to the variable inactive state.

[0340] Or,

[0341] In response to determining that the resource configuration information is in the variable inactive state, the method further comprises: receiving the second indication information, wherein the second indication information is used to indicate that the resource configuration information switches from the variable inactive state to the variable active state.

[0342] The second indication information can be a switching signal indicating that the resource configuration information is switched between two or more states. For example, the second indication information can be a signal indicating that the resource configuration information is switched between a variable deactivation state and a variable activation state. If the UE currently determines that the resource configuration information is in the variable deactivation state, if the second indication information is received, the UE determines that the resource configuration information is in the variable activation state; if the UE currently determines that the resource configuration information is in the variable activation state, if the second indication information is received, the UE determines that the resource configuration information is in the variable deactivation state.

[0343] The second indication information can also directly indicate the state to be changed by the resource configuration information. For example, the second indication information can directly indicate that the state of the resource configuration information is changed to the variable deactivation state, or the second indication information can directly indicate that the state of the resource configuration information is changed to the variable activation state.

[0344] In this way, the state change of the resource configuration information is indicated by the second indication information, so that the base station can notify the UE when changing the state of the resource configuration information, and the understanding of the base station and the UE for the resource configuration information is consistent.

[0345] In response to the second indication information indicating that the resource configuration information is switched from the variable activation state to the variable deactivation state, the time length for which the resource configuration information remains in the deactivation state can be infinite. The base station can reactivate the resource configuration information and send the second indication information to the UE again for indicating that the resource configuration information is switched from the variable deactivation state to the variable activation state.

[0346] In response to the second indication information indicating that the resource configuration information is switched from the variable deactivation state to the variable activation state, the time length for which the resource configuration information remains in the activation state can be infinite. The base station can reactivate the resource configuration information and send the second indication information to the UE again for indicating that the resource configuration information is switched from the variable activation state to the variable deactivation state.

[0347] The UE can determine that the resource configuration information is in the variable activation state or the variable deactivation state based on the indication of the second indication information.

[0348] In one embodiment, in response to the second indication information indicating that the resource configuration information is switched from the variable activation state to the variable deactivation state, the method further includes determining that the resource configuration information is in the variable deactivation state within a first validity time length;

[0349] Or,

[0350] In response to the second indication information indicating that the resource configuration information switches from the variable deactivation state to the variable activation state, the method further includes determining that the resource configuration information is in the variable activation state within a second validity duration.

[0351] In response to the second indication information indicating that the resource configuration information switches from the variable deactivation state to the variable activation state, the method further includes determining that the resource configuration information is in the variable activation state within a second validity duration.

[0352] In response to the second indication information indicating that the resource configuration information switches from the variable deactivation state to the variable activation state, the method further includes determining that the resource configuration information is in the variable activation state within a second validity duration.

[0353] In response to the second indication information indicating that the resource configuration information switches from the variable deactivation state to the variable activation state, the method further includes determining that the resource configuration information is in the variable activation state within a second validity duration.

[0354] In one embodiment, the first validity duration or the second validity duration is preconfigured by a network side.

[0355] Alternatively,

[0356] The first validity duration or the second validity duration is specified by a communication protocol.

[0357] Here, the first validity duration can be preconfigured by a core network or the like, or can be specified by a communication protocol.

[0358] Here, the second validity duration can be preconfigured by a core network or the like, or can be specified by a communication protocol.

[0359] In one embodiment, the first validity duration or the second validity duration is continuous in time domain.

[0360] Alternatively,

[0361] The first validity duration or the second validity duration includes at least two sub-validity durations which are discontinuous in time domain.

[0362] The first validity duration can be a continuous duration in time domain. The resource configuration information can remain in the variable deactivation state within the continuous duration. After the first validity duration ends, the resource configuration information can remain in the variable activation state.

[0363] For example, the first validity duration can be N DRX cycles or modification periods, or N SFN / H-SFN, where N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0364] The first validity duration is composed of at least two sub-validity durations which are discontinuous in time domain. The resource configuration information can be kept in a variable deactivation state within the sub-validity durations, and kept in a variable activation state outside the sub-validity durations.

[0365] In an embodiment, the first validity duration can be a duration outside a PTW window of eDRX which occurs periodically. The duration outside the PTW window is the sub-validity duration.

[0366] The second validity duration can be a continuous duration in time domain. The resource configuration information can be kept in a variable activation state within the continuous duration. After the second validity duration, the resource configuration information can be kept in a variable deactivation state.

[0377] The base station can send the second duration information to the UE to indicate the second validity duration. After receiving the second indication information, the UE can determine the second validity duration during which the resource configuration information remains in the deactivated state.

[0378] Here, the first duration information and the second duration information can be the same, i.e., the same information. Here, the first duration information and the second duration information can also be different.

[0384] The second duration information can be carried in the second indication information. The UE can simultaneously determine that the resource configuration information switches from the variable deactivated state to the variable activated state. And can determine that the resource configuration information remains in the deactivated state.

[0385] By carrying the second duration information in the second indication information, the amount of information carried by the second indication information is increased. The communication efficiency is improved.

[0386] In one embodiment, the receiving the second indication information includes one of the following:

[0387] Receiving an RRC message carrying the second indication information;

[0388] Receiving a DCI message carrying the second indication information.

[0389] The base station informs the UE of the initial state of the resource configuration information of the reference signal by an RRC message or a DCI message carrying the second indication information. The existing RRC message or DCI message can be used to carry the second indication information, or a new RRC message or DCI message can be added to carry the second indication information.

[0390] In this way, the amount of information carried by the RRC message or the DCI message can be increased, and the transmission efficiency can be improved.

[0391] The following provides a specific example in combination with any of the above embodiments:

[0392] The network side indicates the initial state of the configured resource or the initial state of the configured resource is agreed upon in advance by the terminal through a protocol agreement manner.

[0393] As an embodiment, the configured resource is configuration information of a specific reference signal;

[0394] As an embodiment: the configured resource, i.e. the configuration information of the specific reference signal, can be notified to the user in the system message or the RRC message (such as the RRC release message);

[0395] As an embodiment, the initial state of the configured resource is represented as the active state or the deactivated state of the resource:

[0396] Active state: the resource configured by the configuration information is reasonably existent, and the network actually transmits the specific reference signal corresponding to the resource; at this time, it is available for the terminal; the network expects the terminal to use;

[0397] Deactivated state: the resource configured by the configuration information is not reasonably existent, or the configuration of the resource is reasonably existent but the network does not actually transmit the specific reference signal corresponding to the resource; at this time, it is not available for the terminal; the network does not expect the terminal to use.

[0398] The initial state includes any of the following:

[0399] a) State 1: fixed deactivated state, the resource of the fixed deactivated state cannot be changed in state by the activation or deactivation indication.

[0400] b) State 2: variable active state, which can be changed in state by the subsequent deactivation indication / activation indication.

[0411] For state 2, after receiving the resource configuration from the network side, the UE continues to monitor the deactivation indication, and judges whether the resource is available according to the deactivation indication. For example, if the activation is available, the UE monitors the resource; if the deactivation is unavailable, the UE does not monitor the resource.

[0412] Case 1: The resource configuration will be deactivated for a specific duration under the deactivation indication. After the specific duration expires or outside the time window, it returns to the activation state;

[0413] The effective time can be a time pre-configured by the network or agreed by the protocol;

[0414] The effective time can be carried in the deactivation indication at the same time;

[0415] The effective time can be N DRX cycles or a modification period;

[0416] The effective time can be N SFN / H-SFN;

[0417] Further: The effective duration can be a pattern, such as the PTW window outside the eDRX period; in the idle state eDRX scenario where the user only activates the inactive state, the resource configuration in the PTW window;

[0418] Case 2: The effective duration is infinite until the next activation indication is received.

[0419] For state 3, after receiving the resource configuration from the network side, the UE continues to monitor the activation indication, and judges whether the resource is available according to the activation or deactivation indication. For example, if the activation is available, the UE monitors the resource; if the deactivation is unavailable, the UE does not monitor the resource.

[0420] Case 1: The resource will be activated for a specific duration under the activation indication. After the specific duration expires or outside the time window, it returns to the deactivation state;

[0421] The effective time can be a time pre-configured by the network;

[0422] The effective time can be carried in the activation indication at the same time;

[0423] The effective time can be N DRX cycles or a modification period.

[0424] The effective time can be N SFN / H-SFN.

[0425] Further, the effective duration can be a pattern, such as a periodic eDRX PTW window.

[0426] Case 2: The effective duration is infinite until the next deactivation indication is received.

[0427] The deactivation / activation indication can be an explicit indication, such as an RRC message or a DCI.

[0428] As an embodiment, the RRC message is a system message / paging message.

[0429] As an embodiment, the DCI message is a paging DCI / power saving signal.

[0430] Further, for a non-active user, the terminal changes state (for example, the UE switches from a non-active state to an idle state, which can be indicated by the RRC release message.

[0431] If the network side indicates the configuration resource, the initial state can be notified to the user through a system message or RRC signaling.

[0432] The RRC signaling is an RRC release message.
