[0218] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0219] It should be understood that the phrase "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" throughout the specification means that a specific feature, structure, or characteristic related to the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the invention. Therefore, "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" appearing throughout the specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, these specific features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0220] In various embodiments of the present invention, it should be understood that the sequence number of each process described below does not imply the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0221] In addition, the terms "system" and "network" are often used interchangeably in this article.

[0222] In the embodiments provided in this application, it should be understood that "B corresponding to A" means that B is associated with A, and B can be determined based on A. However, it should also be understood that determining B based on A does not mean determining B solely based on A; B can also be determined based on A and / or other information.

[0223] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a terminal energy-saving processing method, executed by a terminal, comprising:

[0224] Step 101: When the terminal is camped on the first 5G cell, it receives first energy-saving configuration information sent by the first network device; wherein the first 5G cell belongs to the first network device.

[0225] Step 102: Enter energy-saving mode according to the first energy-saving configuration information.

[0226] Following the steps described above, the terminal can enter the energy-saving mode by receiving the first energy-saving configuration information sent by the first network device while camped on the first 5G cell, without having to switch to the 4G cell for energy saving. This achieves energy saving when the terminal is camped on the 5G cell and effectively improves the situation where the terminal cannot camp on 5G.

[0227] The first network device is a 5G base station, and the first energy-saving configuration information may include energy-saving settings for a portion of the bandwidth BWP (Bandwidth Power-Only) and energy-saving settings for the number of transmit and receive antennas. Of course, the first network device and the first energy-saving configuration information can also be implemented in other ways, which will not be elaborated here. The terminal adjusts the corresponding energy-saving parameters based on the received first energy-saving configuration information and then enters energy-saving mode.

[0228] Optionally, before step 101, the following steps are also included:

[0229] Send a first power saving request to the first network device.

[0230] That is, when the terminal is camped on the first 5G cell, it can send a first power-saving request to the first network device. Upon receiving the first power-saving request, the first network device determines first power-saving configuration information in response to the request and feeds back the first power-saving configuration information to the terminal. In this way, the first network device instructs itself to save power based on the terminal's request.

[0231] Optionally, the first energy-saving request includes an energy-saving instruction and a first energy-saving effective time.

[0232] Here, the power saving indicator is used to identify whether the terminal requests to enter power saving mode. That is, the terminal can use this indicator to request the first network device to enter power saving mode from non-power saving mode, or to request to return from power saving mode to non-power saving mode. The first power saving effective time is associated with the power saving indicator. When the terminal requests to enter power saving mode, the first power saving effective time is the duration of entering power saving mode; when the terminal requests to enter non-power saving mode, the first power saving effective time is the duration of entering non-power saving mode.

[0233] Optionally, the first energy-saving request may also include the requested energy-saving parameter configuration.

[0234] Here, the requested energy-saving parameter configuration refers to the energy-saving parameter configuration requested by the terminal from the first network device. The energy-saving parameters include, but are not limited to, BWP and the number of transmit and receive antennas. Of course, when the energy-saving parameter configuration requested in the first energy-saving request is default, the first network device can also independently select an energy-saving strategy for the terminal (i.e., the first energy-saving configuration information).

[0235] It should be understood that, in this embodiment, the first energy-saving configuration information can also be sent autonomously by the first network device, that is, the first network device autonomously instructs the terminal to save energy. Therefore, optionally, receiving the first energy-saving configuration information sent by the first network device includes:

[0236] When the terminal is in non-energy-saving mode and has not sent an energy-saving request, the first energy-saving configuration information sent by the first network device when it determines that the terminal's services meet the first preset conditions is received.

[0237] Here, for a scenario where a terminal is in non-energy-saving mode and has not sent an energy-saving request, the first network device will determine whether the terminal's services meet a first preset condition. If the terminal's services meet the first preset condition, it will send first energy-saving configuration information. Upon receiving the first energy-saving configuration information, the terminal can adjust the corresponding energy-saving parameters to achieve energy saving, i.e., enter energy-saving mode.

[0238] Optionally, the first preset condition is: within a first time period, the terminal's service is a pre-defined service.

[0239] The first setting can be configured via timer A corresponding to the energy-saving mode. The pre-defined services include all services except for specific QCI type services and / or services with transmission rates exceeding a preset rate. Thus, the first network device can monitor the service status of terminals in non-energy-saving mode that have not issued energy-saving requests. If, within the timer A period, no specific QCI type service or / or service with a transmission rate exceeding a threshold is performed, the first energy-saving configuration information is sent to the terminal. This first energy-saving configuration information is communicated to the terminal via an RRC reconfiguration message.

[0240] Alternatively, in this embodiment, after step 102, the following steps are also included:

[0241] When the terminal's service is not a preset service, it receives non-energy-saving configuration information sent by the first network device.

[0242] Here, when the first network device detects that a terminal in energy-saving mode is performing a specific QCI type service and / or a service with a transmission rate exceeding a threshold, it sends non-energy-saving configuration information to the terminal. The terminal then adjusts the corresponding energy-saving parameters based on this non-energy-saving configuration information and enters non-energy-saving mode. In this way, the terminal can adapt to exiting energy-saving mode based on service needs, ensuring service quality.

[0243] Of course, before the non-preset service ends, the terminal will remain in non-energy-saving mode until the non-preset service ends, waiting for the first network device to send the first energy-saving configuration. Of course, the first network device sending the first energy-saving configuration can be either sent autonomously by the first network device or triggered by a terminal request, as mentioned above, and will not be elaborated further here.

[0244] Considering that as the terminal moves, the terminal in energy-saving mode may move from the first 5G cell of the first network device to the second 5G cell of the second network device, and the terminal can continue to save energy according to the first energy-saving configuration information after the handover, or according to the new energy-saving configuration information determined by the second network device. However, due to the cell handover, both the first energy-saving configuration information and the new energy-saving configuration information determined by the second network device may become inapplicable. Therefore, in this embodiment, after step 102, the following step is also included:

[0245] When the terminal switches from the first 5G cell to the second 5G cell and the second power-saving timeout has not expired, a second power-saving request is sent to the second network device; wherein, the second 5G cell belongs to the second network device;

[0246] Receive the second energy-saving configuration information fed back by the second network device according to the second energy-saving request.

[0247] In this way, the terminal can autonomously request new energy-saving parameter configurations after a handover, and the second network device determines the terminal's desired second energy-saving configuration information based on the second energy-saving request. After receiving the second energy-saving configuration information, the terminal adjusts the corresponding energy-saving parameters.

[0248] Optionally, the second energy-saving request includes the requested energy-saving parameter configuration.

[0249] Optionally, the second energy-saving effective time is the remaining time after the first energy-saving effective time has been switched.

[0250] It should be understood that, in this embodiment, during the process of the terminal switching from the first 5G cell to the second 5G cell, the first network device (i.e., the source base station) sends a third energy-saving request to the second network device (the target base station). This third energy-saving request includes an energy-saving indication and a second energy-saving effective time. Here, the energy-saving indication is the same as the energy-saving indication in the first energy-saving request, used to identify whether the terminal is in energy-saving mode. After receiving the third energy-saving request, the second network device will respond to energy saving after the terminal accesses the second 5G cell, such as autonomously determining new energy-saving configuration information.

[0251] The third energy-saving request is carried in the handover preparation message of the Xn interface interaction between the first network device and the second network device.

[0252] In addition, after the terminal switches to the second 5G cell, the second network device can also perform the steps performed by the first network device as described above. Therefore, optionally, after entering the energy-saving mode according to the first energy-saving configuration information, the process further includes:

[0253] If the terminal switches from the first 5G cell to the second 5G cell and the second energy-saving activation time has not expired, and if the terminal's service is a non-preset service, then the terminal receives the non-energy-saving configuration information sent by the first network device.

[0254] That is, when a terminal switches from the first 5G cell to the second 5G cell, the second network device monitors the terminal's services during the second energy-saving period. If the terminal is performing a specific QCI type service and / or the transmission rate exceeds a threshold, it sends non-energy-saving configuration information. The terminal then adjusts the corresponding energy-saving parameters by receiving this non-energy-saving configuration information and enters non-energy-saving mode to meet service requirements.

[0255] Similarly, after the second energy-saving time expires, the second network device can also perform the same steps as the first network device to determine and instruct the terminal whether to continue in energy-saving mode.

[0256] It should also be understood that, for redirection, the second network device can also perform the above steps to determine and instruct the terminal whether to enter power-saving mode.

[0257] Furthermore, as the terminal moves, it may also switch from the first 5G cell of the first network device (5G base station) to the 4G cell of the third network device (4G base station). In this scenario, the third network device receives a fourth power-saving request (including a power-saving indication) carried in the handover preparation message by the first network device via the N26 interface, or the third network device receives a power-saving request reported by the terminal and determines the terminal's power-saving state (power-saving mode or non-power-saving mode). Therefore, optionally, in this embodiment, after step 102, the following step is also included:

[0258] When the terminal switches from the first 5G cell to a 4G cell, and the terminal is in power-saving mode and stays on the 4G cell for less than a second time, one of the following steps is performed:

[0259] Based on the received measurement and control message from the third network device, the terminal sends the reference signal received power (RSRP) of the 5G neighboring cell.

[0260] The terminal receives a first indication message from the third network device, the first indication message being sent by the third network device and used to instruct the terminal to interoperate with 5G.

[0261] The 4G cell belongs to the third network device.

[0262] Here, the second time can be set via timer B corresponding to the power-saving mode, such as 10 minutes. Timer B will start when the terminal switches from the first 5G cell to the 4G cell and determines that the terminal has entered power-saving mode.

[0263] During the timer B period, the third network device can send a measurement and control message to the terminal. Upon receiving the measurement and control message, the terminal will report the RSRP of its 5G neighboring cells to the third network device through measurement.

[0264] During the timer B period, the third network device can also send a first indication message, instructing the terminal to interoperate with 5G. Upon receiving the first indication message, the terminal can then re-camp on the 5G cell via 5G interoperation.

[0265] Specifically, the first indication information is sent when the terminal's service is a preset service, by determining whether the RSRP of the 5G neighboring cell meets a preset threshold (i.e., whether it is greater than the preset threshold). The RSRP of the 5G neighboring cell can be reported by the terminal based on the telemetry and control message.

[0266] If the terminal service is a preset service during the timer B period, only the RSRP measurement of the 5G neighboring cell will be performed.

[0267] Optionally, in this embodiment, after step 102, the method further includes:

[0268] When the terminal switches from the first 5G cell to a 4G cell, the terminal is in power-saving mode, and the terminal remains on the 4G cell for a period of time greater than or equal to the second time, one of the following steps is performed:

[0269] The terminal receives a second indication message from a third network device, the second indication message being sent by the third network device and used to instruct the terminal to interoperate with 5G.

[0270] Receive 5G cell handover selection information from the third network device.

[0271] In other words, after timer B expires, the third network device can send a second indication message to instruct the terminal to interoperate with 5G. Upon receiving this second indication message, the terminal can then re-camp on the 5G cell via 5G interoperation. Specifically, the second indication message is sent when the RSRP of the 5G neighboring cell meets a preset threshold (i.e., whether it is greater than the preset threshold).

[0272] After timer B expires, the third network device can also send 5G cell handover selection information to the terminal. Upon receiving this information, the terminal displays it, allowing the user to choose whether to rejoin the 5G cell. The 5G cell handover selection information is displayed on the terminal as "Whether to go to 5G".

[0273] Regarding the displayed 5G cell handover selection information, if the user selects "Yes" to confirm the input, it indicates that the user wishes to return to the 5G cell; if the user selects "No" to deny the input, it indicates that the user wishes to remain on the 4G cell. Therefore, optionally, after receiving the 5G cell handover selection information from the third network device, the process further includes:

[0274] Based on the user's confirmed input, perform 5G interoperability; or...

[0275] Restart the timer for the second time period based on the user's negative input.

[0276] In this way, the terminal will perform the corresponding operation according to the user's expectations.

[0277] In summary, as Figure 2 As shown, the processing flow of the first network device in this embodiment is as follows:

[0278] When the terminal is in non-energy-saving mode, the system monitors terminal services to determine if the terminal is performing a specific service (i.e., a non-preset service). If so, the terminal remains in non-energy-saving mode; otherwise, a timer (e.g., Timer A) is started. During the timing process (which can also be understood as Timer A not expiring), if a power-saving request is received from the terminal, the terminal enters power-saving mode. After Timer A expires, the terminal enters power-saving mode. If a non-energy-saving request is received from the terminal while it is in power-saving mode, the terminal enters non-energy-saving mode. Furthermore, if specific services are detected during the timing process, the terminal remains in non-energy-saving mode; if specific services are detected while the terminal is in power-saving mode, the terminal enters non-energy-saving mode.

[0279] like Figure 3 As shown, the processing flow of the second network device in this embodiment is as follows:

[0280] When the terminal switches to the 5G cell of the second network device, the second network device will enter the energy-saving mode when the energy-saving indicator requests energy saving, and enter the non-energy-saving mode when the energy-saving indicator requests non-energy saving.

[0281] When the terminal is in non-energy-saving mode, the system monitors terminal services to determine if the terminal is performing a specific service (i.e., a non-preset service). If so, the terminal remains in non-energy-saving mode; otherwise, a timer (e.g., Timer A) is started. During the timing process (which can also be understood as Timer A not expiring), if a power-saving request is received from the terminal, the terminal enters power-saving mode. After the timer expires, the terminal enters power-saving mode. If a non-energy-saving request is received while the terminal is in power-saving mode, the terminal enters non-energy-saving mode. Furthermore, if specific services are detected during the timing process, the terminal remains in non-energy-saving mode; if specific services are detected while the terminal is in power-saving mode, the terminal enters non-energy-saving mode.

[0282] Of course, the second network device can also perform the redirection access of the terminal. Figure 3 The process is shown below.

[0283] like Figure 4 As shown, the processing flow of the third network device in this embodiment is as follows:

[0284] When the terminal is in non-power-saving mode, a timer (e.g., timer B) is started to keep track of the time. During the timer (which can also be understood as timer A not expiring), the terminal's services are monitored to determine whether the terminal is performing a specific service (i.e., a non-preset service). If the terminal is performing a specific service, it is further determined whether the RSRP of the terminal's 5G neighboring cells meets the interoperability conditions (i.e., whether it is greater than a preset threshold). If the RSRP of the 5G neighboring cells meets the interoperability conditions, the terminal is instructed to interoperate with 5G, thus allowing the terminal to rejoin the 5G cell. If the terminal is not performing a specific service, after the timer expires, it is further determined whether the RSRP of the terminal's 5G neighboring cells meets the interoperability conditions. If the RSRP of the 5G neighboring cells meets the interoperability conditions, the terminal is instructed to interoperate with 5G.

[0285] If the RSRP of the 5G neighboring cell does not meet the interoperability conditions after the timer expires, the measurement will continue to be performed according to the interoperability configuration (such as the configuration of the measurement and control message).

[0286] like Figure 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a terminal energy-saving processing method, executed by a first network device, comprising:

[0287] Step 501: When the terminal is camped on the first 5G cell of the first network device, send the first energy-saving configuration information to the terminal.

[0291] Optionally, the first energy-saving request may also include the requested energy-saving parameter configuration.

[0292] Optionally, sending the first energy-saving configuration information to the terminal includes:

[0293] When it is determined that the services of the terminal meet the first preset conditions, the first energy-saving configuration information is sent.

[0294] Optionally, the first preset condition is: within a first time period, the terminal's service is a pre-defined service.

[0295] Optionally, after sending the first energy-saving configuration information to the terminal, the method further includes:

[0296] When the terminal's service is not a preset service, non-energy-saving configuration information is sent.

[0297] Optionally, after sending the first energy-saving configuration information to the terminal, the method further includes:

[0298] When the terminal switches from the first 5G cell to the second 5G cell of the second network device, a third power saving request is sent to the second network device. The third power saving request includes: power saving indication and second power saving effective time.

[0299] Alternatively, if the terminal switches from the first 5G cell to the 4G cell of the third network device, a fourth power-saving request is sent to the third network device.

[0300] Optionally, the second energy-saving effective time is the remaining time after the first energy-saving effective time has been switched.

[0301] It should be noted that this method is implemented in conjunction with the terminal energy-saving processing method executed by the aforementioned terminal. The implementation of the above method embodiments is applicable to this method and can achieve the same technical effect.

[0302] like Figure 6 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a terminal power-saving processing method, executed by a second network device, comprising:

[0303] Step 601: Receive the second energy-saving request from the terminal;

[0304] Step 602: Send the second energy-saving configuration information according to the second energy-saving request;

[0306] Optionally, the second energy-saving request includes the requested energy-saving parameter configuration.

[0307] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0312] Optionally, the second energy-saving effective time is the remaining time after the first energy-saving effective time has been switched.

[0313] It should be noted that this method is implemented in conjunction with the terminal energy-saving processing method executed by the aforementioned terminal. The implementation of the above method embodiments is applicable to this method and can achieve the same technical effect.

[0314] like Figure 7 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a terminal power-saving processing method, executed by a third network device, comprising:

[0315] Step 701: When the terminal switches from the first 5G cell to the 4G cell of the third network device, and the terminal is in power-saving mode and stays in the 4G cell for less than a second time, a first indication message is sent to the terminal. The first indication message is used to instruct the terminal to interoperate with 5G.

[0316] Before sending the first indication information, the RSRP of the terminal's 5G neighboring cells is received. Then, based on the received RSRP, if it is determined that the RSRP of the terminal's 5G neighboring cells meets a preset threshold and the terminal's service is a non-preset service, the first indication information is sent.

[0317] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0318] When the terminal switches from the first 5G cell to a 4G cell, the terminal is in power-saving mode, and the terminal stays in the 4G cell for a period of time greater than or equal to the second time, a second indication message is sent to the terminal. The second indication message is used to instruct the terminal to interoperate with 5G.

[0319] Alternatively, send 5G cell handover selection information to the terminal.

[0320] Here, before sending the second indication information, the RSRP of the terminal's 5G neighboring cells is also received. Then, based on the received RSRP, if it is determined that the RSRP of the terminal's 5G neighboring cells meets a preset threshold, the second indication information is sent.

[0321] In this embodiment, the terminal reports the RSRP of the 5G neighboring cell after receiving the measurement and control message from the third network-side device, based on the measurement and control message.

[0322] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0323] Receive the fourth energy-saving request from the first network device;
