[0080] In the embodiments of the present application, the term "and / or" describes the association relationship of the associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B may represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0081] In the embodiments of the present application, the term "plurality" refers to two or more than two, and other quantifiers are similar.

[0082] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0083] Embodiments of the present application provide an information processing method, an apparatus, and a readable storage medium for reducing power consumption of a terminal configured with eDRX.

[0084] Among them, the method and the device are based on the same application concept. Since the method and the device solve the problem in a similar principle, the implementation of the device and the method can refer to each other, and the repeated parts will not be repeated.

[0085] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a flow chart of the information processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0086] Step 101: A network device sends first information to a terminal, where the first information is used to indicate whether a paging message includes paging for the terminal, or the first information is used to trigger the terminal to perform a target operation; wherein the terminal is a terminal configured with eDRX.

[0087] In the embodiment of the present application, the network device may determine the timing of sending the first information to the terminal according to its own needs. For example, when it is necessary to page the terminal or trigger the terminal to perform a target operation, the network device may send the first information to the terminal.

[0088] In one embodiment of the present application, the first information includes proprietary indication information, and the proprietary indication information is included in the PDCCH used to schedule the paging message, or the proprietary indication information is included in the PEI used to wake up the terminal. The proprietary indication information is used to indicate any one of the following: the paging message sent by the network device includes paging for the terminal configured with eDRX; the paging message sent by the network device does not include paging for the terminal configured with eDRX. Furthermore, when the proprietary indication information is used to indicate that the paging message sent by the network device includes paging for the terminal configured with eDRX, the proprietary indication information can further indicate that the paging message sent by the network device only includes paging for the terminal configured with eDRX, thereby further reducing the power consumption of the UE and achieving energy saving.

[0089] In one embodiment of the present application, the first information includes a pilot signal for a terminal configured with eDRX, wherein the pilot signal includes at least one of TRS and CSI-RS. That is, the pilot signal is a dedicated pilot signal belonging to a terminal configured with eDRX, so after receiving the pilot signal, the terminal configured with eDRX can perform a target operation based on the relevant information of the pilot signal. The target operation includes time-frequency tracking, measurement and other operations based on the configuration information of the TRS / CSI-RS; or, receiving the update configuration information of the TRS / CSI-RS sent by the network device to update the configuration of the TRS / CSI-RS, etc.

[0090] In addition, the first information also includes at least one or more of configuration information of the pilot signal, update indication information of the pilot signal, and available indication information of the pilot signal.

[0091] The configuration information of the pilot signal may include multiple configurations. The update indication information is used to indicate that the configuration information is updated immediately, or to indicate that the configuration information is updated starting from the next system message modification period. The immediate update may refer to updating immediately after receiving the update indication message.

[0092] The update indication information is used to indicate that the configuration information is updated immediately, or to indicate that the configuration information is updated starting from the next system message modification period;

[0093] The available indication information is used to indicate whether the configuration information of the pilot signal in the current paging time window is available, or to indicate whether the configuration information of the pilot signal corresponding to the target paging message is available; wherein the target paging message is a preset number of paging messages sent by the network device after sending the available indication information. The value of the preset number is an integer greater than or equal to 1, which can be pre-configured or agreed upon by a protocol.

[0094] In an embodiment of the present application, if the available configuration information of the pilot signal in two adjacent paging time windows is the same, the network device may also send an indication message to the terminal, indicating through the indication message that the configuration information of the available pilot signal in the current paging time window is the same as the configuration information of the available pilot signal in the previous paging time window; or, the network device does not send the indication message, but adopts a method of assuming that the configuration information of the available pilot signal in the current paging time window is the same as the configuration information of the available pilot signal in the previous paging time window without sending the indication message, implicitly indicating that the configuration information of the available pilot signals in the two adjacent paging time windows is the same.

[0095] In addition, when the available indication information is used to indicate that the configuration information of the pilot signal in the current paging time window is available, the available indication information is also used to indicate information of a target configuration available in the configuration information of the pilot signal. The target configuration is one or more of the multiple configurations included in the configuration information of the pilot signal.

[0096] For example, the available indication information may include a first part and a second part, or may include only the first part. If the available indication information includes only the first part, then the first part indicates whether the configuration information of the pilot signal in the current paging time window is available. If the available indication information includes a first part and a second part, then the first part is used to indicate whether the configuration information of the pilot signal in the current paging time window is available, and the second part is used to indicate the available target configuration information in the configuration information of the pilot signal when the first part indicates that the configuration information of the pilot signal in the current paging time window is available.

[0097] In the embodiment of the present application, the pilot signal may also be updated accordingly according to the different configuration information of the pilot signal, the specific meaning of the available indication information, etc. For example, assuming that the configuration information of the pilot signal changes after the pilot signal is sent for the first time, the pilot signal sent subsequently may be different from the pilot signal sent for the first time. For another example, when the network device sends the available indication information of the pilot signal, if the available indication information is used to indicate that the configuration information of the pilot signal in the current paging time window is not available, then the network device may not send the pilot signal.

[0098] In an embodiment of the present application, for a terminal configured with eDRX, a network device sends a first information to the terminal, where the first information is used to indicate whether a paging message includes paging for the terminal, or the first information is used to trigger the terminal to perform a target operation, thereby reducing the number of times the terminal receives unnecessary paging or quickly performing the target operation, thereby reducing the power consumption of the terminal configured with eDRX.

[0099] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 is a flow chart of the information processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0100] Step 201: A terminal receives first information sent by a network device, wherein the first information is used to indicate whether a paging message includes paging for the terminal, or the first information is used to trigger the terminal to perform a target operation. The terminal is a terminal configured with eDRX.

[0101] Step 202: The terminal determines whether to monitor paging according to the first information, or the terminal performs the target operation according to the first information;

[0102] In this step, when the first information is used to indicate whether the paging message includes paging for the terminal, the terminal determines whether to listen to the paging based on the first information, including: when the first information indicates that the paging message includes paging for the terminal configured with eDRX, the terminal performs a wake-up operation and listens to the paging message of the network device.

[0103] As mentioned above, the first information includes a pilot signal for a terminal configured with eDRX, wherein the pilot signal includes at least one of TRS and CSI-RS. That is to say, the pilot signal belongs to a dedicated pilot signal of a terminal configured with eDRX. Therefore, after receiving the pilot signal, the terminal configured with eDRX can perform a target operation based on the relevant information of the pilot signal. The target operation includes time-frequency tracking, measurement and other operations based on the configuration information of the TRS / CSI-RS; or, receiving the update configuration information of the TRS / CSI-RS sent by the network device to update the configuration of the TRS / CSI-RS, etc. In addition, the first information also includes at least one of the following information: configuration information of the pilot signal, update indication information of the pilot signal, and available indication information of the pilot signal.

[0104] In combination with different contents included in the first information, the terminal may perform different target operations.

[0105] Specifically, when the first information includes configuration information of the pilot signal, the terminal performs a time-frequency tracking operation according to the configuration information of the pilot signal.

[0106] When the first information includes update indication information of the pilot signal, the terminal immediately obtains update configuration information of the pilot signal according to the update indication information of the pilot signal, and updates the configuration information of the pilot signal according to the update configuration information; or, the terminal obtains update configuration information of the pilot signal starting from the next system message update period according to the update indication information of the pilot signal, and updates the configuration information of the pilot signal according to the update configuration information.

[0107] When the first information includes available indication information of the pilot signal, if the available indication information is used to indicate that the configuration information of the pilot signal within the current paging time window is available, the terminal performs a time-frequency tracking operation using the configuration information of the pilot signal within the current paging time window; if the available indication information is used to indicate that the configuration information of the pilot signal corresponding to the target paging message is available, the terminal performs a time-frequency tracking operation using the configuration information of the pilot signal corresponding to the target paging message when receiving the target paging message or the PEI corresponding to the target paging message.

[0108] If the terminal receives the indication information from the network device indicating that the configuration information of the available pilot signal in the current paging time window is the same as that in the previous paging time window, then the terminal can determine that the configuration information of the available pilot signal in two adjacent paging time windows is the same, so the terminal can continue to use the configuration information of the available pilot signal in the previous paging time window in the current paging time window. Alternatively, if the network device adopts an implicit indication method and the terminal does not receive the indication information, then the terminal can determine that the configuration information of the available pilot signal in two adjacent paging time windows is the same, so the terminal can continue to use the configuration information of the available pilot signal in the previous paging time window in the current paging time window.

[0109] In addition, when the first information includes the available indication information of the pilot signal and when the available indication information is also used to indicate the information of the available target configuration in the configuration information of the pilot signal, if the available indication information is used to indicate that the configuration information of the pilot signal in the current paging time window is available, the terminal performs a time-frequency tracking operation using the target configuration in the current paging time window according to the information of the available target configuration; if the available indication information is used to indicate that the configuration information of the pilot signal corresponding to the target paging message is available, when the terminal receives the target paging message or the PEI corresponding to the target paging message, the terminal performs a time-frequency tracking operation using the target configuration corresponding to the target paging message according to the information of the available target configuration. Wherein, the target paging message is a preset number of paging messages sent by the network device after sending the available indication information. The value of the preset number is an integer greater than or equal to 1, which can be pre-configured or agreed upon by a protocol.

[0110] In an embodiment of the present application, for a terminal configured with eDRX, a network device sends a first information to the terminal, where the first information is used to indicate whether a paging message includes paging for the terminal, or the first information is used to trigger the terminal to perform a target operation, thereby reducing the number of times the terminal receives unnecessary paging or quickly performing the target operation, thereby reducing the power consumption of the terminal configured with eDRX.

[0111] The following describes in detail the implementation process of the information processing method of the embodiment of the present application in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0112] In the embodiment of the present application, the power consumption of the terminal configured with eDRX can be reduced by the following two methods:

[0113] One way is to set a dedicated indication information, where the dedicated indication information is used to indicate whether the paging message includes paging for the terminal configured with eDRX.

[0114] Another way is to set a pilot signal, which is a dedicated pilot signal belonging to the terminal configured with eDRX. Therefore, after receiving the pilot signal, the terminal configured with eDRX performs time-frequency tracking, measurement, and updates the configuration information of the pilot signal based on the pilot signal.

[0115] In one of the following embodiments, the network device sets dedicated indication information for paging the terminal configured with eDRX. Figure 3 As shown, the information processing method of the embodiment of the present application may include:

[0116] Step 301: When a network device sends a PDCCH for scheduling a paging message or sends a PEI for waking up a terminal configured with eDRX, the network device carries dedicated indication information.

[0117] The dedicated indication information is used to indicate whether the paging message includes paging for the terminal configured with eDRX.

[0118] Step 302: When receiving PDCCH or PEI, the terminal determines whether to wake up according to the carried dedicated indication information and its own DRX configuration information, so as to determine whether to monitor the paging message sent by the network device.

[0119] For example, if the terminal is a terminal configured with eDRX, then the terminal may receive the dedicated indication information carried in the PDCCH or PEI sent by the network device, and when it is determined that the paging message sent by the network device indicated by the dedicated indication information contains paging for the terminal configured with eDRX, the terminal performs a wake-up operation to monitor the paging message sent by the network device to determine whether it is paged;

[0120] For example, if the terminal is a terminal configured with eDRX, then the terminal can receive the proprietary indication information carried in the PDCCH or PEI sent by the network device, and when it is determined that the proprietary indication information indicates that the paging message sent by the network device does not contain paging for the terminal configured with eDRX, it is determined that there is no need to monitor the paging message sent by the network device, and there is no need to perform a wake-up operation, thereby reducing UE power consumption and achieving energy saving effects.

[0121] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, "including paging for terminals configured with eDRX" can be understood as including only paging for terminals configured with eDRX, and can also be understood as including paging for other terminals in addition to paging for terminals configured with eDRX. Then for terminals not configured with eDRX, if it is determined that the dedicated indication information is used to indicate that the paging message sent by the network device only includes paging for terminals configured with eDRX, the terminal not configured with eDRX can determine that it does not need to monitor the paging message sent by the network device, and does not need to perform a wake-up operation, thereby reducing power consumption and achieving energy saving effects.

[0122] In one embodiment of the present application, a pilot signal specifically used for a terminal configured with eDRX is set to better adapt to the paging cycle and TRS / CSI-RS configuration update mode of the terminal configured with eDRX, thereby reducing the power consumption of the terminal configured with eDRX when performing operations such as time-frequency tracking. In this way, the terminal configured with eDRX can quickly perform operations such as time-frequency tracking based on the configuration information of the pilot signal, thereby more specifically reducing the power consumption of such UE. Figure 4As shown, the information processing method of the embodiment of the present application may include:

[0123] Step 401: The network device sends a pilot signal specifically used for the terminal configured with eDRX to the terminal configured with eDRX. As mentioned above, the pilot signal may be a TRS / CSI-RS.

[0124] At the same time, the network device may also send information related to the pilot signal, including configuration information, update indication information, available indication information, and the like.

[0125] Specifically, the network device may place the configuration information of the pilot signal and the configuration information of the TRS / CSI-RS valid for the DRX UE in the same SIB for broadcasting, or may place the pilot signal in a separate SIB for broadcasting.

[0126] The update indication information indicates whether the configuration information (such as TRS / CSI-RS configuration information) of the terminal configured with eDRX is updated. For example, the network device may send the update indication information through PEI or include the update indication information in the DCI (Downlink Control Information) corresponding to the paging message to indicate that the TRS / CSI-RS configuration of the terminal configured with eDRX is updated. At the same time, the network device sends the updated TRS / CSI-RS configuration for the terminal configured with eDRX starting from the next system message update period.

[0127] Optionally, the network device may also immediately (ie, in the current system message update period) start to send updated TRS / CSI-RS configurations for the terminal configured with eDRX.

[0128] The network device may separately send available indication information, where the available indication information indicates whether the TRS / CSI-RS configuration for the terminal configured with eDRX is available.

[0129] For example, the available indication information indicates whether the TRS / CSI-RS configuration for the terminal configured with eDRX in the current PTW (Paging Time Window) is available; further, it may also indicate which TRS / CSI-RS resources are available (for example, which specific TRS / CSI-RS configurations are available). Further, the network device may send an indication to indicate that the available TRS / CSI-RS configuration for the terminal configured with eDRX in the current PTW is the same as the available TRS / CSI-RS configuration for the terminal configured with eDRX in the previous PTW; or the network device may not send an available indication, but indicate in an implicit manner that the available TRS / CSI-RS configuration for the terminal configured with eDRX in the current PTW is the same as the available TRS / CSI-RS configuration for the terminal configured with eDRX in the previous PTW.

[0130] For another example, the available indication information indicates that the terminal monitors n paging messages (n≥1, n is an integer, configurable or predefined by a protocol) after the available indication information to determine whether the TRS / CSI-RS configuration of the terminal configured with eDRX is available. Further, the available indication information may indicate which TRS / CSI-RS resources are available.

[0131] Step 402: The terminal receives a pilot signal sent by a network device and performs related operations based on the pilot signal, mainly including:

[0132] (1) The terminal monitors the TRS / CSI-RS according to the TRS / CSI-RS configuration valid for the terminal configured with eDRX, thereby accelerating the time-frequency tracking operation. If the update indication information indicates that an update has occurred, the terminal configured with eDRX needs to obtain the updated TRS / CSI-RS configuration after receiving the pilot signal.

[0133] (2) The terminal monitors the PEI or the DCI indication included in the paging message and finds that the TRS / CSI-RS configuration specifically for the terminal configured with eDRX is updated, then the terminal configured with eDRX obtains the updated TRS / CSI-RS configuration for the terminal configured with eDRX from the next system message update period. Alternatively, the terminal immediately obtains the updated TRS / CSI-RS configuration for the terminal configured with eDRX by reading the system message.

[0134] (3) If the available indication information indicates that the TRS / CSI-RS configuration is not available in the current PTW, the terminal configured with eDRX does not use the TRS / CSI-RS configuration for time-frequency tracking and other operations when receiving PEI or paging in this PTW; if the available indication information indicates that the TRS / CSI-RS configuration corresponding to the target paging message is available, the terminal configured with eDRX uses the corresponding TRS / CSI-RS configuration for time-frequency tracking and other operations when receiving PEI or paging corresponding to the target paging message. The target paging message is a preset number of paging messages sent by the network device after sending the available indication information, and the value of the preset number is an integer greater than or equal to 1, which can be preset or agreed upon by the protocol.

[0135] Further, if the terminal receives an indication sent by the network device to indicate that the available TRS / CSI-RS configuration for the eDRX terminal configured in the current PTW is the same as the available TRS / CSI-RS configuration for the eDRX terminal in the previous PTW, the terminal can continue to use the available TRS / CSI-RS configuration of the previous paging time window in the current paging time window. Alternatively, if the terminal does not receive the indication, that is, the network device indicates in an implicit manner that the available TRS / CSI-RS configuration for the eDRX terminal configured in the current PTW is the same as the available TRS / CSI-RS configuration for the eDRX terminal in the previous PTW, the terminal can continue to use the available TRS / CSI-RS configuration in the previous paging time window in the current paging time window.

[0136] By utilizing the solution of the embodiment of the present application, the number of times the terminal receives unnecessary paging can be reduced or the target operation can be quickly executed, thereby reducing the power consumption of the terminal configured with eDRX.
