[0043] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0044] To facilitate understanding, the terminology used in this application will be introduced first.

[0045] 1. LP-WUR

[0046] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the LP-WUR. (By...) Figure 1 As can be seen, the circuit on the left is the circuit in the network device, used to send wake-up messages; the circuit on the right is the circuit in the terminal device, used to receive wake-up messages. WuTx can be the sender of WuC, WuRx can be the receiver of WuC, and WuC can be the wake-up message. It should be noted that the circuit containing WuRx can be LP-WUR.

[0047] It should be noted that WuRx can be started periodically and listen for WuC messages. Optionally, WuRx can also be kept on continuously to listen for WuC messages. When WuRx receives a WuC message, it can wake up the main circuit, that is, turn on the main circuit, and further listen for and receive paging messages through the main circuit.

[0048] By using the methods described above, the standby power consumption of terminal devices can be effectively reduced, the standby time of devices can be extended, and thus the user experience can be improved.

[0049] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is an architecture diagram of a communication system provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown, the communication system may include terminal device 201 and network device 202.

[0050] The terminal device 201 can be a terminal device that receives a wake-up message; the wake-up message may carry first identification information. Optionally, the terminal device 201 can also be a terminal device that receives a first paging message; the first paging message may carry second identification information.

[0051] Network device 202 can be the network device corresponding to the serving cell where terminal device 201 is located. Optionally, network device 202 can send a wake-up message to all terminal devices in the serving cell. After receiving the wake-up message, the terminal devices will determine whether they need to wake up their own main circuit. Optionally, network device 202 can also send a first paging message to the terminal devices whose main circuits have been woken up. After receiving the first paging message, the terminal devices whose main circuits have been woken up will determine whether they have been paged.

[0052] It is understood that terminal device 201 can receive the aforementioned wake-up message and, based on the first identification information carried in the wake-up message, determine whether it needs to wake up its own main circuit. There can be multiple terminal devices that need to wake up their main circuits, and these multiple terminal devices may include terminal device 201. It should be noted that... Figure 2 The number of terminal devices and network devices mentioned is for illustrative purposes only and does not limit the scope of this application.

[0053] In this context, a terminal device is an entity on the user side used to receive or transmit signals, such as a mobile phone. Terminal devices can also be called terminals, user equipment (UE), mobile stations (MS), mobile terminals (MT), etc. They can include mobile phones, wearable devices, tablets, computers with wireless transceiver capabilities, virtual reality (VR) terminal devices, augmented reality (AR) terminal devices, wireless terminals in industrial control, wireless terminals in self-driving, wireless terminals in remote medical surgery, wireless terminals in smart grids, wireless terminals in transportation safety, wireless terminals in smart cities, wireless terminals in smart homes, and terminal devices supporting enhanced machine-type communication (eMTC) and / or supporting long-term evolution (LTE) technologies, etc. The embodiments of this application do not limit the specific technology or device form used in the terminal device.

[0054] Network device 202 is an entity on the network side used for transmitting or receiving signals. This network device 202 can be an access network device, such as an evolved NodeB (eNB), a transmission reception point (TRP), a next-generation NodeB (gNB) in an NR system, or a base station in other future mobile communication systems. This network device can include indoor network devices, such as Customer Premises Network (CPN) devices, which can include Premises Radio Access Stations (PRAS) and Evolved Residential Gateways (eRGs). The embodiments of this application do not limit the specific technology or device form used in the network device.

[0055] It should be noted that the technical solutions of this application embodiment can be applied to various communication systems. For example, Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems, 5th Generation (5G) mobile communication systems, and 5G New Radio (NR) systems. Optionally, the methods of this application embodiment are also applicable to various future communication systems, such as 6G systems or other communication networks.

[0056] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating an information transmission method provided in an embodiment of this application. This information transmission method can be implemented by the aforementioned terminal device and network device, or it can be implemented by a chip in the aforementioned terminal device and a chip in the network device. Figure 3 As shown, the information transmission method includes, but is not limited to, the following steps S301 to S302.

[0057] In step S301, the network device sends a wake-up message carrying first identification information, which may be part or all of the terminal identification information. Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the wake-up message from the network device.

[0058] After determining the terminal identification information, the network device can send a wake-up message to the serving cell where the terminal identified by the terminal identification information is located, so as to wake up the terminal device that matches the first identification information in the wake-up message. Correspondingly, the terminal device in the serving cell can receive the wake-up message from the network device and determine whether it needs to wake up its own main circuit based on the first identification information carried in the wake-up message.

[0059] The wake-up message can be used to wake up a terminal device that is in sleep mode, allowing the awakened terminal device to activate the main circuit and further listen for paging messages through the main circuit. The terminal device can be any terminal device in the serving cell, and the terminal device can receive the aforementioned wake-up message to determine whether it is necessary to wake up the main circuit.

[0060] The first identification information can be part or all of the terminal identification information. If the first identification information is part of the terminal identification information, the terminal device receiving the wake-up message can determine whether it needs to wake up its own main circuit based on the first identification information carried in the wake-up message. After waking up the main circuit, it can further listen for paging messages through the main circuit and determine whether it has been paged based on the paging messages. If the first identification information is all of the terminal identification information, the terminal device receiving the wake-up message can determine whether it has been paged based on the first identification information.

[0061] It should be noted that the following description uses the portion of the first identification information that is the terminal identification information as an example to illustrate the entire process in more detail, and does not limit this application.

[0062] In one implementation, the terminal identification information occupies N bits, and the first identification information may include the values ​​of N1 bits out of the N bits, where N1 is a non-negative integer.

[0063] It should be noted that the numbering of the aforementioned N1 bits can be consecutive or non-consecutive. For example, assuming the terminal identification information occupies 8 bits, the aforementioned first identification information can include the values ​​of 3 bits from those 8 bits. These 3 bits can be numbered 1 to 3, meaning the 3 bits are consecutive. Optionally, the 3 bits can be numbered 1, 3, and 7, meaning the 3 bits are non-consecutive.

[0064] In one implementation, the N1 bits can be the first N1 high-order bits of the aforementioned N bits. Optionally, the N1 bits can be the last N1 low-order bits of the aforementioned N bits.

[0065] The aforementioned high-order bits can correspond to multiple bits from left to right, and these multiple bits are numbered consecutively. For example, the first N1 high-order bits are N1 consecutive bits from left to right out of N bits. The aforementioned low-order bits can correspond to multiple bits from right to left, and these multiple bits are numbered consecutively. For example, the last N1 low-order bits are N1 consecutive bits from right to left out of N bits.

[0066] It should be noted that the aforementioned high bit can also be called the left bit or the front bit; similarly, the aforementioned low bit can also be called the right bit or the back bit, and this does not constitute a limitation on this application.

[0067] In one implementation, the terminal identification information occupies N bits. The network device can send configuration information to the terminal device, which instructs the first identification information to determine the value of the high-order bits or the low-order bits among the N bits. Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the configuration information from the network device. That is, based on the configuration information, the terminal device can determine whether the wake-up message carries the value of the high-order bits or the low-order bits among the aforementioned N bits. For example, assuming the terminal identification information occupies 8 bits, the network device can configure the first identification information to be the value of the first 4 high-order bits of those 8 bits. Accordingly, by receiving this configuration information, the terminal device can determine that the first identification information carried in the wake-up message is the value of the first 4 high-order bits of those 8 bits. Optionally, the network device can also configure the first identification information to be the value of the last 5 low-order bits of those 8 bits; this application does not limit this.

[0068] Network devices can pre-configure the specific number of bits carried in the first identification information, and whether those bits are high-order or low-order bits in the terminal identification information, by sending configuration information to terminal devices. Correspondingly, terminal devices can use this configuration information to determine which bits in the terminal identification information constitute the first identification information, thereby determining the value of the first identification information.

[0069] In step S302, the terminal device obtains the first identification information from the wake-up message.

[0070] After receiving the wake-up message, the terminal device in the serving cell can obtain the first identification information from the wake-up message, and then determine whether the main circuit needs to be woken up based on the first identification information.

[0071] In one implementation, the wake-up message may explicitly carry the first identification information. This explicit carrying means that the wake-up message includes the first identification information. For example, assuming the terminal identification information occupies 8 bits, and the first identification information is the value of the high 4 bits of the terminal identification information, the wake-up message can directly carry the value of the high 4 bits of the terminal identification information. By directly carrying the first identification information in the wake-up message, the network device can send the first identification information to the terminal device simultaneously when sending the wake-up message, so that the terminal device can directly obtain the first identification information upon receiving the wake-up message.

[0072] In another implementation, the wake-up message may implicitly carry terminal identification information. This implicit carrying means that the wake-up message may carry indication information; the terminal device can determine the first identification information based on this indication information. The indication information and the first identification information have a corresponding relationship. The terminal device can determine the first identification information based on this correspondence and the indication information carried in the wake-up message.

[0073] In one implementation, the correspondence between the aforementioned indication information and the first identification information can be pre-set, as agreed upon in the protocol. For example, assuming the first identification information is the value of the first four bits of the terminal identification information, the correspondence between these first four bits and the indication information can be pre-set. It is understood that these first four bits can correspond to 16 possible permutations and combinations. Therefore, 16 indication messages can be pre-set to correspond to these 16 permutations and combinations. For example, indication message 1 can be pre-set to correspond to the case where the value of the four bits is 0000, indication message 2 to the case where the value of the four bits is 0001, and so on, with indication message 16 corresponding to the case where the value of the four bits is 1111. Through this pre-setting method, the first identification information and the aforementioned indication information can be mapped one-to-one. That is, after receiving a wake-up message, the terminal device can determine the first identification information based on the indication information carried in the wake-up message.

[0074] In another implementation, the correspondence between the aforementioned indication information and the first identification information can be determined through a message (such as a system message) sent by the network device. Specifically, the system message can carry the correspondence between the indication information and the first identification information. In this case, the terminal device can obtain the correspondence between the indication information and the first identification information through the received system message, and thus determine the aforementioned first identification information based on the correspondence. For example, suppose the system message indicates that indication information 1 corresponds to the value of the first 5 bits of the terminal identification information, and the value of the first 5 bits is 00000; then after receiving the system message, the terminal device can determine that the first identification information is the value of the first 5 bits of the terminal identification information, and the value of the first identification information is 00000.

[0075] Optionally, the aforementioned indication information can be a sequence. That is, a sequence (such as referred to as the first sequence) can be carried in the wake-up message. It is understood that the aforementioned correspondence can specifically be a correspondence between a sequence and first identification information. The terminal device can determine the first identification information corresponding to the first sequence through the first sequence and the correspondence between the sequence and the first identification information; the first identification information corresponding to the first sequence is the first identification information. Optionally, the indication information may also include other forms of information, which are not limited in this application.

[0076] The terminal device can receive a wake-up message from the network device and obtain the first identification information carried in the wake-up message to determine whether its own identification information matches the first identification information, thereby determining whether it needs to wake up the main circuit.

[0077] For example, suppose the first identification information is the value of the high 4 bits in the terminal identification information, and the value of the high 4 bits is 0001; that is, the terminal device in the serving cell can determine whether the value of the high 4 bits in its own identification information is 0001 based on the value of the high 4 bits. If the value of the high 4 bits of its own identification information is 0001, then the main circuit of the terminal device needs to be woken up; if the value of the high 4 bits of its own identification information is not 0001, then the main circuit of the terminal device does not need to be woken up.

[0078] For example, suppose there are 10 terminal devices in the serving cell. The network device can send a wake-up message to these 10 terminal devices, and the 10 terminal devices can receive the wake-up message. If the identification information of 5 of the 10 terminal devices matches the first identification information, then these 5 terminal devices need to wake up their own main circuit.

[0079] In this embodiment of the application, the network device can send a wake-up message; correspondingly, the terminal device can receive the wake-up message to obtain first identification information from the wake-up message, and then determine whether the main circuit needs to be woken up based on the first identification information.

[0080] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating another information transmission method provided in an embodiment of this application. This information transmission method can be implemented by the aforementioned terminal device and network device, or it can be implemented by a chip in the aforementioned terminal device and a chip in the network device. Figure 4 As shown, the information transmission method includes, but is not limited to, the following steps S401 to S405.

[0081] Optionally, in step S401, the core network element may send a second paging message to the network device, which may be used to indicate terminal identification information. Correspondingly, the network device may receive the second paging message from the core network element.

[0082] Specifically, after determining the terminal identification information, the core network element can send a second paging message to the network device corresponding to the serving cell of the terminal device identified by the terminal identification information, so as to inform the network device that there is a terminal device whose identification information matches the aforementioned terminal identification information among the terminal devices served by the network device, i.e., the paging terminal device.

[0083] The aforementioned core network elements can be access and mobility management functions (AMF) or mobility management entities (MME), etc., and this application does not impose any restrictions on them.

[0084] In step S402, the network device sends a wake-up message carrying first identification information, which may be part or all of the terminal identification information. Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the wake-up message from the network device.

[0085] Optionally, after receiving the second paging message from a core network element, the network device can determine the terminal identification information. Further, the network device can send a wake-up message in the serving cell of the terminal device, so that the terminal device in that serving cell can determine whether it needs to wake up its own main circuit. Further, the terminal device whose main circuit has been woken up can receive the first paging message through that main circuit to determine whether it has been paged. Here, sending a wake-up message in the serving cell means broadcasting the wake-up message in the serving cell.

[0086] Network devices can initiate paging in the serving cell in two ways: Radio Access Network (RAN) paging and Core Network (CN) paging. The main difference between RAN paging and CN paging lies in the fact that the terminal identification information corresponding to these two paging methods can be different. For example, the terminal identification information for CN paging can be 48 bits, while the terminal identification information for RAN paging can be 20 bits.

[0087] It should be noted that when the current paging is a CN paging, this embodiment of the application can start from step S401. It is understood that for CN paging, the network device can send a wake-up message to the terminal device in the serving cell after receiving the second paging message from the core network element. Optionally, when the current paging is a RAN paging, this embodiment of the application can start from step S402.

[0088] In one implementation, the first paging message can be either an access network paging message or a core network paging message. Specifically, the access network paging message corresponds to the RAN paging message, and the core network paging message corresponds to the CN paging message.

[0089] In one implementation, the content carried by the first paging message and the second paging message may differ. Optionally, the formats of the first paging message and the second paging message may also differ.

[0090] It is understandable that when a network device initiates a CN paging, the corresponding paging message can be a core network paging message; when a network device initiates a RAN paging, the corresponding paging message can be an access network paging message. Since the terminal identification information corresponding to CN paging and RAN paging is different, the first and second identification information corresponding to CN paging and RAN paging can be configured in the following two ways.

[0091] Method 1: The first identification information for CN paging and RAN paging has the same number of bits. For example, the first identification information for both paging methods carries M bits. It is understood that when the first identification information for both paging methods carries M bits, the number of bits carried in the second identification information for the two paging methods can be the same or different. For example, if the terminal identification information for CN paging is 48 bits, and the terminal identification information for RAN paging is 20 bits, and the first identification information for both paging methods carries a 10-bit value, then the second identification information for CN paging can carry the remaining 38 bits, and the second identification information for RAN paging can carry the remaining 10 bits.

[0092] Method 2: The first identification information for CN paging and RAN paging is configured with different bit lengths. For example, the first identification information for CN paging can carry M1 bits; the first identification information for RAN paging can carry M2 bits. It is understood that when the first identification information corresponding to CN paging and RAN paging carries different bit lengths, the second identification information corresponding to the two paging methods can carry different or the same number of bits, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this. For example, assuming the terminal identification information corresponding to CN paging is 48 bits and the terminal identification information corresponding to RAN paging is 20 bits; if the first identification information corresponding to CN paging can carry a 38-bit value and the first identification information corresponding to RAN paging can carry a 10-bit value, then the second identification information corresponding to CN paging can carry the remaining 10 bits, and the second identification information corresponding to RAN paging can carry the remaining 10 bits. In this example, the second identification information carries the same number of bits for both CN paging and RAN paging. It is understood that this example is for illustrative purposes only and does not impose any limitations on this application.

[0093] In step S403, the terminal device obtains the first identification information from the wake-up message.

[0094] Specifically, steps S402 and S403 can be found in the foregoing. Figure 3 The relevant descriptions of steps S301 and S302 in the illustrated embodiments will not be repeated here.

[0095] In step S404, the network device sends a first paging message, which carries second identification information, which is part or all of the terminal identification information. Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the first paging message from the network device.

[0096] After the network device sends a wake-up message, it can send a first paging message within the serving cell. Correspondingly, after the terminal device's main circuit is woken up, the terminal device can receive the first paging message from the network device and determine whether it has been paged based on the second identification information carried in the first paging message.

[0097] It should be noted that since there can be multiple terminal devices whose identification information matches the first identification information, that is, multiple terminal devices whose main circuit is woken up, the aforementioned terminal device can be any one of the multiple terminal devices whose main circuit is woken up. This terminal device can obtain the second identification information by receiving the first paging message, thereby determining whether its own identification information matches the second identification information, i.e., whether it has been paging.

[0098] In one implementation, the terminal identification information occupies N bits, and the second identification information includes the values ​​of N2 bits out of these N bits, where N2 is a non-negative integer. It is understood that the second identification information can include the values ​​of the remaining bits out of the N1 bits included in the first identification information. For example, assuming the terminal identification information occupies 8 bits, and the first identification information includes the values ​​of 3 bits out of these 8 bits, then the second identification information can include the values ​​of the remaining 5 bits out of these 8 bits. Wherein, if the 3 bits of the first identification information are numbered 1 to 3, then the 5 bits of the second identification information can be numbered 4 to 8. Optionally, if the 3 bits of the first identification information are numbered 1, 3, and 7, then the 5 bits of the second identification information can be numbered 2, 4, 5, 6, and 8.

[0099] In one implementation, the N2 bits are the last N2 low-order bits of the aforementioned N bits. Optionally, the N2 bits are the first N2 high-order bits of the aforementioned N bits. The last N2 low-order bits are N2 consecutive bits from right to left of the N bits. Optionally, the first N2 high-order bits are N2 consecutive bits from left to right of the N bits.

[0100] Optionally, the aforementioned configuration information can also be used to indicate whether the second identification information is used to determine the value of the high-order bit or the low-order bit among the aforementioned N bits. Optionally, the configuration information can explicitly or implicitly indicate whether the second identification information is used to determine the value of the high-order bit or the low-order bit among the aforementioned N bits. For details regarding the configuration information, please refer to [link to configuration information]. Figure 3 The detailed descriptions of the illustrated embodiments will not be repeated here. It is understood that if the configuration information indicates that the first identification information is used to determine the value of the high-order bits among the N bits, then the second identification information can be determined to be used to determine the value of the low-order bits among the aforementioned N bits. Similarly, if the configuration information indicates that the first identification information is used to determine the value of the low-order bits among the aforementioned N bits, then the second identification information can be determined to be used to determine the value of the high-order bits among the aforementioned N bits.

[0101] In step S405, the terminal device obtains the second identification information from the first paging message; and determines the terminal identification information based on the first identification information and the second identification information; optionally, the terminal device can further determine whether the terminal device has been paged based on the terminal identification information.

[0102] Terminal devices can determine whether they have been paged by receiving a first paging message from a network device and obtaining the second identification information carried in the first paging message.

[0103] It should be noted that the first paging message may also explicitly or implicitly carry the second identification information; a description of the relevant content can be found above. Figure 3 The embodiments shown are not described in detail here.

[0104] In one implementation, the aforementioned terminal identification information occupies N bits. The terminal device determines the terminal identification information based on the first identification information and the second identification information by: the terminal device determining the value of the N bits based on the values ​​of the N1 bits included in the first identification information and the N2 bits included in the second identification information; where N1 and N2 are both non-negative integers, and N1 + N2 = N. When N1 and N2 are both positive integers, that is, the first identification information can be a part of the identification information, and the second identification information can be another part of the identification information. It is understood that the first identification information and the second identification information can form complete identification information.

[0105] Optionally, the first identification information mentioned above can also be complete terminal identification information, i.e., N = N1; optionally, the second identification information mentioned above can also be complete terminal identification information, i.e., N = N2, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0106] It should be noted that after determining the complete terminal identification information, the terminal device can compare this complete terminal identification information with its own identification information to determine whether it has been paged. Specifically, if its own identification information matches the complete identification information (e.g., they are the same), it can be determined that it has been paged; if its own identification information does not match the complete identification information (e.g., they are different), it can be determined that it has not been paged.

[0107] The method provided in this application embodiment firstly involves the network device sending a wake-up message, and correspondingly, the terminal device can wake up its main circuit after receiving the wake-up message; secondly, the network device sends a first paging message, and correspondingly, the terminal device can obtain the second identification information after receiving the first paging message, thereby determining whether it has been paging.
