Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of communications, and in particular to methods and devices for switching monitoring states, and storage media. Background Technology

[0002] In 5G NR (New Radio Access Technology) systems, MBMS (Multimedia Broadcast and Multicast Service) or MBS (Multicast Broadcast Service) can be scheduled and transmitted in the following two ways:

[0003] The first method is dynamic scheduling.

[0004] The PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel) schedules the transmission of the PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel). This PDCCH, which schedules MBS services, is indicated by an MBS-specific scheduling identifier. This MBS-specific scheduling identifier includes, but is not limited to, G-RNTI (Group Radio Network Temporary Identity).

[0005] The second method is SPS (Semi-Persistent Scheduling).

[0006] The base station is configured with periodic PDSCH resources, and the terminal receives MBS service data through the PDSCH channel resources.

[0007] MBS services can be identified by the following MBS service identifiers: TMGI (Temporary Mobile Group Identity), MBS Session ID, MBS QoS flow ID, MBS Radio Bearer ID, and MBS LCH ID (Logical Channel ID).

[0008] The transmission modes of MBS services can include the following two:

[0009] The first sending model is sending mode 1 (multicast sending).

[0010] The terminal enters the RRC (Radio Resource Control) connected state to receive the receive configuration information corresponding to the MBS service, and receives the MBS service based on this receive configuration information. The network side sends the receive configuration information corresponding to the MBS service to the terminal through terminal-specific signaling.

[0011] The second sending model is sending mode 2 (broadcast sending).

[0012] The terminal can receive the MBS service corresponding to the receiving configuration information in any of the IDLE, INACTIVE, or CONNECTED states, and receive the MBS service based on the receiving configuration information.

[0013] The network side sends the MBS service reception configuration information to the terminal through system information, such as SIB (System Information Block) and MBS control channel information, such as MCCH (MBS Control Channel).

[0014] Since different MBS services have different transmission periods, the network side can configure the terminal to receive different MBS services in a discontinuous manner. That is, different MBS services can correspond to different discontinuous reception configuration information, for example... Figure 1 As shown.

[0015] After the network side configures the receiving configuration information corresponding to the MBS service for the terminal, the terminal needs to listen to the MBS transmission during the service listening period corresponding to the MBS scheduling time configured by the network, such as the service listening duration corresponding to mbsOnDurationTimer (MBS listening duration periodizer), for example, listening to G-RNTI PDCCH.

[0016] However, the network side may temporarily stop sending MBS services, while the terminal side will still listen for MBS transmission according to the MBS scheduling time previously configured by the network side, resulting in the terminal consuming more power. Summary of the Invention

[0115] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of the invention as detailed in the appended claims.

[0116] The terminology used in this disclosure is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the disclosure. The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” as used in this disclosure and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the term “and / or” as used herein refers to and includes any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0117] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc., may be used in this disclosure to describe various information, such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are used only to distinguish information of the same type from one another. For example, without departing from the scope of this disclosure, first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information. Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "when," "when," or "in response to determination."

[0118] The following section will first introduce the monitoring state switching control method provided in this disclosure from the perspective of the network device side.

[0119] This disclosure provides a method for switching control of monitoring states, referring to... Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a listening state control method according to an embodiment, which can be used in network-side devices. The method may include the following steps:

[0120] In step 201, the terminal is configured with reception configuration information corresponding to the broadcast multicast MBS service. The reception configuration information is used by the terminal to receive the MBS service in a discontinuous reception mode.

[0121] In step 202, target control information is sent to the terminal, which is used to activate or deactivate the reception monitoring of the MBS service of the terminal.

[0122] In the above embodiments, the monitoring state switching module is configured to start or stop the receiving monitoring of the broadcast multicast MBS service based on the indication of the target control information and the receiving configuration information corresponding to the MBS service configured by the network-side device for the terminal. The target control information is used to activate or deactivate the receiving monitoring of the MBS service of the terminal, and the receiving configuration information is used for the terminal to receive the MBS service in a discontinuous receiving mode.

[0123] In some optional embodiments, the reception configuration information corresponding to the MBS service configured by the network-side device for the terminal may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: the service monitoring period of the MBS service; a first timer for indicating the service monitoring duration within each service monitoring period; the service start monitoring position within each service monitoring period; a second timer for indicating that the network-side device has new data that needs to be scheduled; a third timer for instructing the terminal to perform HARQ feedback; and a fourth timer for instructing the terminal to receive data retransmitted by the network-side device.

[0124] The MBS service monitoring cycle (mbsCycle) instructs the terminal to periodically monitor the MBS service according to this cycle. The first timer (mbsOnDurationTimer) indicates the duration of service monitoring required by the terminal within each monitoring cycle. The service start monitoring position (mbsStartOffset) indicates the specific time-domain position at which the terminal begins monitoring the MBS service within each monitoring cycle.

[0125] The second timer can be an inactive timer (mbsInactivityTimer). When the network-side device has new data that needs to be scheduled, it can control the terminal to start or restart this second timer. The third timer can be a HARQ return timer (mbsHARQ-RTT-Timer). The terminal can start this third timer when it receives downlink data and has HARQ information that needs to be fed back for that downlink data. The fourth timer can be a HARQ retransmission timer (mbsHARQ-RxTimer). The terminal starts this fourth timer after the third timer expires. During the period when the fourth timer is running, the network-side device can send retransmitted data to the terminal.

[0126] The above is merely an illustrative example. In practical applications, network-side devices can configure corresponding receiving configuration information for terminals according to the needs of MBS services. Other receiving configuration information should fall within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0127] In one possible implementation, when the target control information is used to activate the reception monitoring of the MBS service of the terminal, the target control information may include any of the following: WUS (Wake-Up-Signal), target DCI (Downlink Control Information), or target MAC CE (Media Access Control Element).

[0128] In another possible implementation, when the target control information is used to deactivate the receive monitoring of the MBS service of the terminal, the target control information includes any of the following:

[0129] GTS (Go-To-Sleep), the target DCI, and the target MAC CE.

[0130] Optionally, the target DCI can be a DCI identified by PS-RNTI (Power Saving RNTI). Specifically, the target DCI can be a DCI scrambled by PS-RNTI using CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check).

[0131] Optionally, the target MAC CE may be a MAC CE specifically set up for receiving and monitoring the MBS service of the terminal to activate or deactivate it.

[0132] Optionally, the content of the target control information for receiving and monitoring the MBS service of the terminal for activating or deactivating the MBS service may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following:

[0133] MBS service indication information and MBS service activation status information.

[0134] The MBS service indication information may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: MBS service identifier (such as the MBS service identifier mentioned in the background technology) and MBS scheduling identifier.

[0135] Furthermore, the MBS scheduling identifier may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: a dynamic scheduling identifier, such as G-RNTI, or a semi-persistent scheduling identifier, such as SPS-RNTI.

[0136] The activation status information of MBS service may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: activation status (or “start MBS service reception monitoring” status); deactivation status (or “stop MBS service reception monitoring” status).

[0137] The above is merely an illustrative example. Other information content related to the target control information for receiving and monitoring the MBS service used to activate or deactivate the terminal should fall within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0138] In the above embodiments, the network-side device can activate or deactivate the reception monitoring of the MBS service on the terminal side through any of the above target control information, which is simple and highly available.

[0139] In some alternative embodiments, refer to Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating a listening state control method according to an embodiment, which can be used in network-side devices. The method may include the following steps:

[0140] In step 301, the terminal is configured with reception configuration information corresponding to the broadcast multicast MBS service via the Radio Resource Control (RRC) message. The reception configuration information is used by the terminal to receive the MBS service in a discontinuous reception mode.

[0141] In step 302, target control information is sent to the terminal, which is used to activate or deactivate the reception monitoring of the MBS service of the terminal.

[0142] In the above embodiments, the network-side device can configure the receiving configuration information corresponding to the MBS service for the terminal through RRC messages, so that the terminal can receive the MBS service in a discontinuous receiving mode. In addition, the network-side device can activate the receiving monitoring of the terminal's MBS service through target control information when there is MBS service, or activate the receiving monitoring of the terminal's MBS service through target control information when MBS service transmission is stopped, thereby saving terminal power consumption.

[0143] In some optional embodiments, the RRC message sent by the network-side device to the terminal may include, in addition to the receive configuration information corresponding to the MBS service configured by the network-side device for the terminal, the initial listening state corresponding to the MBS service configured by the network-side device for the terminal. The initial listening state includes stopping receive listening for the MBS service, or starting receive listening for the MBS service.

[0144] After receiving the reception configuration information, if the initial listening state configured in the RRC message is to stop receiving and listening to the MBS service, the terminal will not start receiving and listening to the MBS service until the network side activates receiving and listening to the MBS service through the target control information. Then, the terminal will start receiving and listening to the MBS service based on the reception configuration information.

[0145] After receiving the reception configuration information, if the initial listening state configured in the RRC message is to start receiving and listening for the MBS service, the terminal will immediately start receiving and listening for the MBS service. Subsequently, it can stop receiving and listening for the MBS service according to the target control information sent by the network-side device to deactivate receiving and listening for the MBS service.

[0146] In the above embodiments, the network-side device can also configure the initial listening state of MBS service for the terminal, which is simple to implement and further saves terminal power consumption.

[0147] In some optional embodiments, there can be one or more MBS services. When there are multiple MBS services, the network-side device can configure different reception configuration information for different MBS services.

[0148] For example, for MBS service #1, the network-side device can configure the terminal to receive configuration information #1, assuming it is mbsDRX-config-1. For MBS service #2, the network-side device can configure the terminal to receive configuration information #2, assuming it is mbsDRX-config-2, and so on. Among them, mbsDRX-config-1 and mbsDRX-config-2 can be different.

[0149] In the above embodiments, when the network-side device configures the receiving configuration information corresponding to the MBS service for the terminal, different MBS services can be configured with different receiving configuration information, resulting in high availability.

[0150] Next, we will introduce the monitoring state switching control scheme disclosed in this publication from the perspective of the terminal side.

[0151] This disclosure provides a method for switching control of monitoring states, referring to... Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating a monitoring state control method according to an embodiment, which can be used in a terminal. The method may include the following steps:

[0152] In step 401, based on the indication of the received target control information and the reception configuration information corresponding to the MBS service configured for the terminal by the network-side device, the reception monitoring of the broadcast multicast MBS service is started or stopped.

[0153] The target control information is used to activate or deactivate the reception monitoring of the MBS service of the terminal, and the reception configuration information is used for the terminal to receive the MBS service in a discontinuous reception mode.

[0154] In one possible implementation, in response to determining that the target control information is used to activate the reception monitoring of the MBS service of the terminal, the reception monitoring of the MBS service is started based on the indication of the target control information and the reception configuration information.

[0155] In another possible implementation, in response to the target control information used to deactivate the reception monitoring of the MBS service of the terminal, the reception monitoring of the MBS service is stopped based on the indication of the target control information and the reception configuration information.

[0156] In the above embodiments, the terminal can start or stop receiving and listening to the MBS service according to the instructions of the target control information and the receiving configuration information, without having to keep receiving and listening to the MBS service at all times according to the network-side equipment configuration, thereby better saving terminal power consumption.

[0157] In some alternative embodiments, the terminal may be in a state of stopping MBS service reception and monitoring based on the initial monitoring state, or the terminal may switch to a state of stopping MBS service reception and monitoring based on the target control information previously received for deactivating MBS service reception and monitoring of the terminal.

[0158] If a terminal determines that it is in a state of stopping MBS service reception monitoring, it can only monitor the target control information used to activate the reception monitoring of the MBS service of the terminal.

[0159] In other words, when the terminal stops receiving MBS services, there is no need to listen to the target control information used to deactivate the terminal's MBS services.

[0160] In some alternative embodiments, the terminal may be in the state of receiving and listening to start the MBS service based on the initial listening state, or the terminal may switch to the state of receiving and listening to start the MBS service based on the target control information for receiving and listening to the MBS service previously received to activate the terminal.

[0161] If a terminal determines that it is in a state of receiving and listening to the MBS service, it may only listen to the target control information used to deactivate the receiving and listening of the MBS service of the terminal.

[0162] In other words, when the terminal starts receiving and listening to the MBS service, it does not need to listen to the target control information used to activate the receiving and listening of the MBS service.

[0163] In the above embodiments, the terminal can listen to only the required target control information according to its current listening state, which is simple to implement, highly available, and further saves terminal energy consumption.

[0164] In some alternative embodiments, the terminal may determine the initial listening state of the MBS service using any of the following methods:

[0165] The first method is to determine the initial listening state based on the instructions from the network-side device.

[0166] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the network-side device can configure the receive configuration information corresponding to the MBS service for the terminal via RRC messages. Simultaneously, the RRC message may also include the initial listening state configured by the network-side device for the terminal. Based on the RRC message, the terminal simultaneously determines the receive configuration information and the initial listening state corresponding to the MBS service.

[0167] The second method involves agreeing on the initial listening state through a protocol.

[0168] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the initial listening state of different MBS services can be predetermined through protocol agreement. The terminal only needs to receive the receive configuration information corresponding to the MBS service sent by the network-side device.

[0169] For example, the network-side device configures the receive configuration information mbsDRX-config-1 for MBS service #1 through RRC messages, and the terminal can directly determine the initial listening state corresponding to MBS service #1 according to the protocol.

[0170] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the initial listening state includes stopping the receiving listening of the MBS service, or starting the receiving listening of the MBS service.

[0171] In the above embodiments, the terminal can determine the initial listening state corresponding to the MBS service according to the instructions of the network-side device or directly according to the protocol agreement, which is simple to implement and highly available.

[0172] In some alternative embodiments, refer to Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating a monitoring state control method according to an embodiment, which can be used in a terminal. The method may include the following steps:

[0173] In step 501, target control information is monitored at the target time domain location used for monitoring target control information.

[0174] The target control information is used to activate or deactivate the reception monitoring of the MBS service of the terminal.

[0175] In step 502, based on the indication of the received target control information and the reception configuration information corresponding to the MBS service configured for the terminal by the network-side device, the reception monitoring of the broadcast multicast MBS service is started or stopped.

[0176] The receiving configuration information is used by the terminal to receive the MBS service in a discontinuous receiving mode.

[0177] In the above embodiments, the terminal can listen to the target control information at the target time domain location used to listen to the target control information, so as to start or stop the reception listening of MBS service, which has high availability.

[0178] In one possible implementation, if the terminal detects target control information at the target time domain location, and the bit value of the target control information is a first preset value, the terminal determines that it has detected the target control information used to indicate the activation of the MBS service of the terminal. The first preset value can be 1.

[0179] For example, if the terminal receives the target control information at the target time domain position SFN (System Frame Number) #1, slot #0 according to the target period, assuming it is 10 milliseconds, and the target control information is 1 bit with a bit value of 1, then the terminal determines that it has listened to the target control information used to indicate the activation of the MBS service of the terminal.

[0180] Alternatively, if the terminal detects target control information at the target time domain location, and the bit value of the target control information is a second preset value, the terminal determines that it has detected the target control information used to instruct the deactivation of the MBS service of the terminal. The second preset value can be 0.

[0181] For example, if the terminal receives the target control information at the target time domain position SFN (System Frame Number) #1, slot #0 according to the target period, assuming it is 10 milliseconds, and the target control information is 1 bit with a bit value of 0, then the terminal determines that it has listened to the target control information used to indicate the deactivation of the MBS service of the terminal.

[0182] In another possible implementation, if the terminal does not detect the target control information at the target time domain location and determines that the terminal is in a state of stopping the reception monitoring of the MBS service, in order to avoid missing the MBS service, the terminal can start the reception monitoring of the MBS service based on the reception configuration information.

[0183] Alternatively, if the terminal does not detect the target control information at the target time domain location and determines that the terminal is in a state of receiving and listening to the MBS service, in order to avoid wasting terminal power consumption, the terminal can stop receiving and listening to the MBS service based on the receiving configuration information.

[0184] In the above embodiments, if the terminal detects target control information at the target time domain location, it can determine whether the target control information is used to activate or deactivate the reception monitoring of MBS service based on the bit value of the target control information. Alternatively, if the terminal does not detect target control information at the target time domain location, it can switch the monitoring state according to the current monitoring state to avoid missing MBS service or wasting terminal power, thus ensuring high availability.

[0185] In some optional embodiments, the offset of the target time-domain location relative to the specified time-domain location within each target period is a preset offset value. The duration of the target period can be a positive integer multiple of the duration of the MBS service monitoring period or paging period. The specified time-domain location includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: the service start monitoring location of the MBS service, the paging start monitoring location, and the start indication location of a multicast control channel change.

[0186] The starting indication position for the change of the multicast control channel includes, but is not limited to, the starting indication position for the indication information used to indicate the start of MBS service on the MCCH channel, or the starting indication position for the indication information of the change of MCCH configuration message.

[0187] Taking the specified time domain location as the starting monitoring location of the MBS service as an example, refer to... Figure 6A As shown, assuming the duration of the MBS service #1 service monitoring cycle is 10 slots, the preset offset is -2 slots, and the duration of the target cycle is equal to the duration of the MBS service monitoring cycle, then when the duration of the service monitoring cycle is 10 milliseconds, the time slot corresponding to the service start monitoring position is slot #2. The terminal will take the position of slot #0 of each MBS service monitoring cycle as the target time domain position and monitor the target control information at the target time domain position.

[0188] Taking a specified time domain location as the paging start listening location as an example, refer to... Figure 6B As shown, assuming the paging cycle duration is 100 milliseconds and the paging start position is the time domain position of SFN#1 and slot#2. The target cycle duration is the same as the paging cycle duration, both being 100 milliseconds, with a preset offset of -2 slots. The terminal then uses SFN#1 and slot#0 as the target time domain position, with a 100-millisecond cycle, and listens for target control information at that target time domain position.

[0189] When the specified time domain location is the starting indication location for the multicast control channel change, the method for determining the target time domain location is similar to the method described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0190] In the above embodiments, the terminal can determine the target time domain position for listening to target control information within each target period by referring to the specified time domain position, so as to better save terminal energy consumption and improve availability.

[0191] In some optional embodiments, the number of MBS services is one or more. When the number of MBS services is multiple, the receiving configuration information corresponding to different MBS services is different.

[0192] In some optional embodiments, the receiving configuration information corresponding to the MBS service includes at least one of the following: the service monitoring period of the MBS service; a first timer for indicating the service monitoring duration within each service monitoring period; the service start monitoring position within each service monitoring period; a second timer for indicating that the network-side device has new data that needs to be scheduled; a third timer for instructing the terminal to perform HARQ feedback; and a fourth timer for instructing the terminal to receive data retransmitted by the network-side device.

[0193] In some optional embodiments, when the terminal determines that the initial listening state is to initiate MBS service reception listening, or receives target control information for activating MBS service reception listening, the terminal may initiate MBS service reception listening, and accordingly, the terminal may perform at least one of the following:

[0194] Start at least one of the first timer, the second timer, the third timer, and the fourth timer;

[0195] Start monitoring the control channel corresponding to the MBS service;

[0196] Start monitoring the data channel corresponding to the MBS service.

[0197] Initiating the monitoring of the corresponding control channel includes, but is not limited to, initiating the monitoring of the PDCCH corresponding to MBS. For example, the scheduling identifier corresponding to MBS service #1 is G-RNTI-1, and the corresponding control channel is G-RNTI-1 PDCCH. The terminal can initiate the monitoring of this G-RNTI-1 PDCCH.

[0198] Initiating the monitoring of the data channel corresponding to the MBS service includes, but is not limited to, initiating the monitoring of the PDSCH corresponding to the MBS. For example, MBS service #1 corresponds to data transmission through semi-persistent SPS PDSCH-1, and the terminal can initiate the monitoring of this SPS PDSCH-1.

[0199] In some optional embodiments, when the terminal determines that the initial listening state is to stop receiving and listening to the MBS service, or receives target control information for deactivating receiving and listening to the MBS service, the terminal may stop receiving and listening to the MBS service. Accordingly, the terminal may perform at least one of the following:

[0200] Stop or prevent the start of at least one of the first timer, the second timer, the third timer, and the fourth timer;

[0201] Stop monitoring the control channel corresponding to the MBS service;

[0202] Stop monitoring the data channel corresponding to the MBS service.

[0203] The terminal can stop or not start at least one of the aforementioned timers based on the receive configuration information corresponding to the MBS service. Additionally, the terminal can stop monitoring the control channel corresponding to the MBS service, for example, stopping monitoring the G-RNTI-1 PDCCH. The terminal can also stop monitoring the data channel corresponding to the MBS service, for example, stopping monitoring the SPS PDSCH-1.

[0204] In the above embodiments, the terminal can start or stop receiving and listening to MBS services, thereby avoiding missing MBS services or wasting terminal power consumption, and thus achieving high availability.

[0205] In some alternative embodiments, the content of the target control information for receiving and monitoring the MBS service received by the terminal side for activating or deactivating the MBS service of the terminal may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following:

[0206] MBS service indication information and MBS service activation status information.

[0207] The MBS service indication information may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: MBS service identifier (such as the MBS service identifier mentioned in the background technology) and MBS scheduling identifier.

[0208] Furthermore, the MBS scheduling identifier may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: a dynamic scheduling identifier, such as G-RNTI, or a semi-persistent scheduling identifier, such as SPS-RNTI.

[0209] The activation status information of MBS service may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: activation status (or “start MBS service reception monitoring” status); deactivation status (or “stop MBS service reception monitoring” status).

[0210] The above is merely an illustrative example. Other information content related to the target control information for receiving and monitoring the MBS service used to activate or deactivate the terminal should fall within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0211] In some alternative embodiments, refer to Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 This is a flowchart illustrating a monitoring state control method according to an embodiment, which may include the following steps:

[0212] In step 701, the network-side device configures the receiving configuration information corresponding to the MBS service and the initial listening state corresponding to the MBS service for the terminal through the Radio Resource Control (RRC) message.

[0213] In step 702, the terminal starts receiving and listening to the MBS service based on the receiving configuration information and the initial listening state corresponding to the MBS service.

[0214] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the initial listening state is taken as receiving and listening with the MBS service started. In actual applications, the initial listening state can also be receiving and listening with the MBS service stopped.

[0215] In step 703, the network-side device sends target control information to the terminal, the target control information being used to deactivate the terminal's MBS service reception monitoring.

[0216] In this embodiment of the disclosure, if the initial listening state is to stop receiving and listening to the MBS service, the target control information can be used to activate the receiving and listening of the MBS service of the terminal. Figure 7 (Not shown in the image).

[0217] In step 704, the terminal listens to the target control information at the target time domain location.

[0218] In step 705, the terminal stops receiving and monitoring the MBS service based on the receiving configuration information corresponding to the MBS service and the indication of the target control information it has been listening to.

[0219] In the above embodiments, the network-side device can control the terminal to stop receiving and listening to MBS services through target control information when there is no need to send MBS services, thus saving terminal power consumption.

[0220] In some alternative embodiments, refer to Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8 This is a flowchart illustrating a monitoring state control method according to an embodiment, which may include the following steps:

[0222] In step 802, the terminal does not start receiving and listening to the MBS service based on the receiving configuration information corresponding to the MBS service and the initial listening state corresponding to the MBS service as agreed in the protocol.

[0223] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the initial listening state agreed upon by the protocol is to stop receiving and listening to the MBS service. In actual applications, the initial listening state agreed upon by the protocol can also be to start receiving and listening to the MBS service.

[0224] In step 803, the network-side device sends target control information to the terminal, the target control information being used to activate the terminal's MBS service reception monitoring.

[0225] In this embodiment of the disclosure, if the initial listening state is to initiate MBS service reception listening, the target control information can be used to deactivate the terminal's MBS service reception listening. Figure 8 (Not shown in the image).

[0226] In step 804, the terminal listens to the target control information at the target time domain location.

[0227] In step 805, the terminal initiates the receiving and monitoring of the MBS service based on the receiving configuration information corresponding to the MBS service and the indication of the target control information it has been listening to.

[0228] In the above embodiments, the network-side device can control the terminal to initiate MBS service reception monitoring through target control information, preventing the terminal from missing MBS services and saving terminal power consumption.
