[0028] In order to enable a more detailed understanding of the features and technical contents of the embodiments of the present application, the implementation of the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The attached drawings are for reference only and are not used to limit the embodiments of the present application.

[0029] Before describing the embodiments of the present application, a brief description of the relevant contents is given.

[0030] Currently, driven by the increasing demand for speed, latency, high-speed mobility, and energy efficiency, coupled with the increasing diversity and complexity of future services, the 3GPP international standards organization has begun developing 5G. The main application scenarios for 5G are: Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC), and Massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC).

[0031] The New Radio (NR) system can also be deployed independently. In order to reduce air interface signaling, quickly restore wireless connections and quickly restore data services, a new Radio Resource Control (RRC) state is defined, namely the deactivated (RRC-Inactive) state. Among them, in the idle (RRC-Idle) state, the mobility is based on the cell reselection of the terminal device, the paging process is initiated by the core network (CN), and the paging area is configured by the CN. There is no terminal device context or RRC connection on the network device side. In the RRC-Inactive state, the mobility is based on the cell reselection of the terminal device, there is a connection between CN and NR, the terminal device context exists on a certain network device, the paging process is triggered by the RAN, and the paging area based on the RAN is managed by the RAN. The network device can know the location of the terminal device based on the paging area level of the RAN.

[0032] The following describes the Paging mechanism in the NR system.

[0033] The main function of Paging is that when a terminal device is in the Radio Resource Control (RRC) idle state (IDLE) or RRC deactivated state (INACTIVE), the network device can page the terminal device through a paging message, or notify the terminal device of system message changes or earthquake, tsunami / public warning information through a short message. Of course, Paging also applies to terminal devices in the RRC connected state, that is, Paging is applicable to terminal devices in all RRC states.

[0034] The content of the paging message can include the PDCCH scrambled by the Paging Radio Network Temporary Identifier (P-RNTI) and the Physical Downlink Share Channel (PDSCH) scheduled by the PDCCH. The paging message can be transmitted in the PDSCH; the short message size is 8 bits, and the short message can be in the PDCCH.

[0035] For terminal devices in the RRC_IDLE state or the RRC_INACTIVE state, since there is no data communication between the terminal device and the network device, in order to save the power of the terminal device, the terminal device can monitor the Paging channel discontinuously, that is, adopt the Paging discontinuous reception (DRX) mechanism. Under the PagingDRX mechanism, the terminal device only needs to monitor paging during one paging occasion (PO) in each DRX cycle. PO includes multiple PDCCH monitoring opportunities, and PO can be composed of multiple time slots. Paging frame (PF) refers to a radio frame. The duration of FP is 10ms. A PF can contain multiple POs or the starting positions of multiple POs.

[0036] The DRX cycle is determined by the common cycle in the system broadcast sent by the network device and the dedicated cycle configured in the high-level signaling. The terminal device can select the minimum cycle of the two as the DRX cycle; wherein, the high-level signaling can be Non-Access Stratum (NAS) signaling. From the perspective of the network device, a DRX cycle can have multiple POs. The location where the terminal device monitors the PO is related to the terminal device's identifier (ID). Specifically, the PF and PO of a terminal device in a DRX cycle are determined as follows (TS 38.304):

[0037] The PF system frame number (SFN) is determined by the following formula:

[0038] (SFN+PF_offset)mod T=(T div N)*(UE_ID mod N)(1)

[0039] The index of the PO in a PF, Index_(i_s), is determined by the following formula:

[0040] i_s=floor(UE_ID / N)mod Ns (2)

[0041] Among them, T is the DRX cycle of the terminal device for receiving Paging. The network device will broadcast a default DRX cycle; if the network device configures a terminal device-specific DRX cycle for the terminal device through RRC signaling / high-layer signaling, the minimum of the DRX cycle broadcast by the network device and the terminal device-specific DRX cycle configured by RRC signaling / high-layer signaling will be used as the DRX cycle of the terminal device. If the network device does not configure a terminal device-specific DRX cycle for the terminal device through RRC signaling / high-layer signaling, the DRX cycle broadcast by the network device will be used as the DRX cycle of the UE. N is the number of PFs included in a DRX cycle. Ns is the number of POs included in a PF. PF-offset is the time domain offset used to determine PF. UE_ID is 5G-S-TMSI mod 1024.

[0042] In Release 17 (R17) work items, the 3GPP Radio Access Network (RAN) Plenary agreed to study the project on low-capability NR terminals (RP-193238). Among the goals of this project are to: define power saving enhancements for idle or deactivated terminal devices, and to study and define paging enhancements to reduce unnecessary terminal paging reception, taking into account system performance, without impacting traditional terminal devices.

[0043] PO reception includes blind detection of PDCCH and the corresponding PDSCH. At the same time, for non-connected terminal devices, the terminal device also needs to perform synchronization operations before blind detection of PDCCH. For terminal devices with good channel quality (such as high SINR), fewer synchronization signal clusters (SS bursts) may be needed to complete synchronization, while for terminal devices with poor channel quality (such as low SINR), more SS bursts may be needed to complete synchronization.

[0044] In the discussion of the 3GPP standard, it was proposed that the network device sends indication information before the PO arrives in order to save the power of the terminal device. The terminal device monitors the PO according to the indication information, which can reduce the monitoring of the PO.

[0059] An optional processing flow of the paging indication transmission method provided in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0060] Step S201: The terminal device receives first configuration information, where the first configuration information includes a first offset and a second offset.

[0061] In some embodiments, the first offset is used to represent the first time interval between the moment when the paging opportunity arrives and the starting moment when the terminal device listens to the paging indication information; and / or, the second offset is used to represent the second time interval between the moment when the paging opportunity arrives and the starting moment when the terminal device listens to the paging indication information, and the first offset is different from the second offset.

[0062] In some embodiments, the first offset may include an absolute time, such as any one or more of the number of time slots, the number of symbols, and the subframe length; that is, the first offset includes any one or more of the number of time slots, the number of symbols, and the number of subframe lengths. Alternatively, the first offset may include the number of synchronization signal cluster periods, that is, the number of SS burst periods.

[0063] In some embodiments, the first configuration information may further include: a monitoring duration for instructing the terminal device to monitor the paging indication information.

[0064] In some embodiments, the first configuration information can be sent by the network device to the terminal device through broadcast signaling and / or RRC dedicated signaling.

[0065] Step S202: Before the paging opportunity arrives, the terminal device monitors the paging indication information for the paging opportunity based on the first configuration information.

[0066] In some embodiments, the terminal device monitors the paging indication information based on the first configuration information according to the channel quality of the terminal device.

[0067] Regarding monitoring the paging indication information for the paging occasion based on the first configuration information, in some embodiments, when the channel quality of the terminal device is less than a first threshold, the terminal device monitors the paging indication information based on the first offset; or, when the channel quality of the terminal device is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the terminal device monitors the paging indication information based on the second offset; the first offset is greater than the second offset.

[0068] Correspondingly, when the channel quality of the terminal device is less than the first threshold value and the first offset is greater than the second offset, the terminal device monitors the paging indication information based on the first offset. If the paging indication message monitored based on the first offset indicates that there is a paging message within the paging opportunity, the terminal device determines to monitor the paging opportunity. If the paging indication message monitored based on the first offset indicates that there is no paging message within the paging opportunity, the terminal device determines not to monitor the paging opportunity; or, if the paging indication message monitored based on the first offset indicates that there is no paging message within the paging opportunity, the terminal device continues to monitor the paging indication information based on the second offset; if the paging indication information monitored based on the second offset indicates that there is no paging message within the paging opportunity, the terminal device determines not to monitor the paging opportunity; if the paging indication information monitored based on the second offset indicates that there is a paging message within the paging opportunity, the terminal device determines to monitor the paging opportunity. It can be understood that, when the channel quality of the terminal device is less than the first threshold, if any one of the paging indication information monitored based on the first offset and the second offset indicates that there is a paging message within the paging opportunity, the terminal device monitors the paging opportunity. If the paging indication information monitored based on the first offset and the second offset both indicate that there is no paging message within the paging opportunity, the terminal device does not monitor the paging opportunity; or, if the paging indication information corresponding to the larger of the first offset and the second offset indicates that there is no paging message within the paging opportunity, the terminal device does not monitor the paging opportunity.

[0069] Regarding monitoring the paging indication information for the paging opportunity based on the first configuration information, in other embodiments, when the channel quality of the terminal device is less than a first threshold, the terminal device monitors the paging indication information based on the second offset; or, when the quality of the terminal device is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the terminal device monitors the paging indication information based on the first offset, and the first offset is less than the second offset. In summary, it can be understood that if the channel quality of the terminal device is less than the first threshold, the larger of the first offset and the second offset is used to monitor the paging indication information corresponding to the larger one.

[0070] In the embodiment of the present application, an optional schematic diagram of a terminal device monitoring paging indication information is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the terminal device listens to the paging indication information within the monitoring duration of the paging indication information starting from the moment of the offset before the paging opportunity arrives. For example, if the offset is 5 time slots, the terminal device listens to the paging indication information within the monitoring duration of the paging indication information starting from the moment of 5 time slots before the paging opportunity arrives. In specific implementation, in some embodiments, the terminal device listens to the paging indication information based on the first offset, which may be that the terminal device listens to the paging indication information within the monitoring duration of the paging indication information starting from the moment of the first offset before the paging opportunity arrives. In other embodiments, the terminal device listens to the paging indication information based on the second offset, which may be that the terminal device listens to the paging indication information within the monitoring duration of the paging indication information starting from the moment of the second offset before the paging opportunity arrives.

[0071] In some embodiments, the terminal device may determine whether there is a paging message at the paging occasion by a first method or a second method.

[0072] In a specific implementation, the terminal device determines whether there is a paging message at the paging opportunity by a first method, which may include: the terminal device determines whether there is a paging message at the paging opportunity by using bit information in the paging indication information. When the bit information is a first value, the terminal device determines that there is a paging message at the paging opportunity; when the bit information is a second value, the terminal device determines that there is no paging message at the paging opportunity. Optionally, the first value may be 0 and the second value may be 1; or, the first value may be 1 and the second value may be 0.

[0073] In a specific implementation, the terminal device can determine whether there is a paging message at the paging opportunity by a second method, including: if the terminal device does not detect the paging indication information based on the first offset, the terminal device determines that there is no paging message at the paging opportunity; if the terminal device detects the paging indication information based on the first offset, the terminal device determines that there is a paging message at the paging opportunity; and / or, if the terminal device does not detect the paging indication information based on the second offset, the terminal device determines that there is no paging message at the paging opportunity; if the terminal device detects the paging indication information based on the second offset, the terminal device determines that there is a paging message at the paging opportunity. It should be noted that, for the terminal device not detecting the paging indication information based on the first offset, it may be that the network device sent the paging indication information, but the terminal device did not detect the paging indication information based on both the first offset and the second offset; it may also be that the network device did not send the paging indication information, and the terminal device of course did not detect the paging indication information.

[0074] Therefore, the first method can also be called the display method, that is, it directly indicates whether there is a paging message within the paging opportunity in a display manner; the second method can also be called the implicit method, that is, it indicates whether there is a paging message within the paging opportunity in an implicit manner (whether the paging indication information is received).

[0075] In some embodiments, the channel quality may be characterized by at least one of: Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP), Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ), and Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR). Accordingly, the first threshold is a value corresponding to PSRP, a value corresponding to RSRQ, or a value corresponding to SINR.

[0076] In some embodiments, the first threshold may be configured by the network device, i.e., the network device determines the first threshold and notifies the terminal device. Alternatively, the first threshold may be agreed upon by a protocol, such as the first threshold agreed upon by the 3GPP standard protocol. Alternatively, the first threshold may be negotiated between the network device and the terminal device. Alternatively, the first threshold may be determined by the terminal device based on its own hardware information.

[0077] In some embodiments, the paging indication information may include at least one of the following: a sequence-based transmission signal, a PDCCH-based transmission signal, and an indication of whether the paging occasion includes a paging message.

[0078] In some embodiments, the paging indication information may include a wake-up signal (WUS) or a paging early indication.

[0079] In steps S201-S202 above, the paging indication information may be one, and the first offset and the second offset are two different offsets corresponding to the one paging indication information. In a specific implementation, the paging indication information may also include the first paging indication information and the second paging indication information. In this scenario, the first offset is used to represent the first time interval between the arrival time of the paging opportunity and the start time of monitoring the first paging indication information; the second offset is used to represent the second time interval between the arrival time of the paging opportunity and the start time of monitoring the second paging indication information.

[0080] Taking the case where the first offset is greater than the second offset as an example, when the channel quality of the terminal device is less than a first threshold value, the terminal device monitors the first paging indication information based on the first offset. If the first paging indication information indicates that there is a paging message at the paging opportunity, the terminal device monitors the paging opportunity. If the first paging indication information indicates that there is no paging message at the paging opportunity, the terminal device may further monitor the second paging indication information based on the second offset; if the second paging indication information indicates that there is no paging message at the paging opportunity, the terminal device does not monitor the paging opportunity.

[0081] Taking the first offset as an example, if the channel quality of the terminal device is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the terminal device monitors the second paging indication information based on the second offset. If the second paging indication information indicates that there is a paging message in the paging opportunity, the terminal device monitors the paging opportunity. If the second paging indication information indicates that there is no paging message in the paging opportunity, the terminal device does not monitor the paging opportunity.

[0082] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application is only described by taking the example that the first configuration information includes the first offset and the second offset. In specific implementation, the first configuration information may also include a third offset, a fourth offset, etc., and each offset is used for terminal devices of different channel quality levels to monitor paging indication information. Multiple offsets can be used to characterize different time intervals between the moment when the paging opportunity arrives and the start moment of monitoring the same paging indication information. Multiple offsets can also be used to characterize different time intervals between the moment when the paging opportunity arrives and the start moment of monitoring different paging indication information, such as the first offset is used to characterize the first time interval between the moment when the paging opportunity arrives and the start moment of monitoring the first paging indication information, the second offset is used to characterize the second time interval between the moment when the paging opportunity arrives and the start moment of monitoring the second paging indication information, the third offset is used to characterize the third time interval between the moment when the paging opportunity arrives and the start moment of monitoring the third paging indication information, and so on.

[0083] Another optional processing flow of the paging indication transmission method provided in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0084] Step S301: The network device sends first configuration information to the terminal device; the first configuration information includes a first offset and a second offset, and the first configuration information is used by the terminal device to monitor the paging indication information for the paging opportunity before the paging opportunity arrives.

[0085] In some embodiments, the first offset is used to represent a first time interval between the moment when the paging opportunity arrives and the start moment of monitoring the paging indication information; and / or, the second offset is used to represent a second time interval between the moment when the paging opportunity arrives and the start moment of monitoring the paging indication information, and the first offset is different from the second offset.
