[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0024] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0025] In the following description, the use of suffixes such as "module," "part," or "unit" to denote elements is solely for the purpose of illustrative purposes and has no inherent meaning. Therefore, "module," "part," or "unit" may be used interchangeably.

[0026] In this embodiment, in order to meet the requirements of battery life, an ultra-low power wake-up mechanism can be introduced. That is, the user uses a separate receiver to receive a low-power wake-up signal, and wakes up the main receiver to send and receive data. When the terminal does not detect a low-power wake-up signal, the main receiver is in a deep sleep state. In this way, the power consumption of the terminal is further reduced.

[0027] To achieve the above objectives, this embodiment adopts the following method: the terminal determines the measurement mode and / or working mode according to a predefined method.

[0028] The measurement mode includes a first measurement mode and / or a second measurement mode; the operating mode includes a first operating mode and / or a second operating mode. The measurement mode can be understood as the terminal's measurement mode for its own cell and / or other cells, and the operating mode can be the operating mode during reception in the terminal.

[0029] The first measurement mode includes any of the following: relaxing the measurement of this cell, relaxing the measurement of this cell and other cells; not performing a measurement; measuring only based on the Low Power Wake-up Signal (LP-WUS); measuring only based on the Low Power Reference Signal (LP-RS); and measuring only based on LP-RS within the first time window.

[0030] The first time window can be understood as a time window within the duration of the first measurement mode. The duration of the first time window is less than or equal to the duration of the first measurement mode.

[0031] The condition of not performing measurements includes at least one of the following: the terminal does not activate the main receiving device to perform any measurements; when no paging-based LP-WUS is detected, the terminal does not activate the main receiving device to perform any measurements. When LP-WUS detection is in progress, the terminal does not activate the main receiving device to perform measurements.

[0032] The relaxation of local cell measurement includes at least one of the following: performing local cell measurement once every N discontinuous reception (DRX) cycles, where N is a positive integer greater than 1; or performing local cell measurement when paging occurs. The phrase "performing local cell measurement once every N DRX cycles" can be understood as performing local cell measurement within one DRX cycle out of N DRX cycles.

[0033] The relaxation of measurements for this cell and other cells includes one of the following: relaxing measurements for this cell and relaxing measurements for other cells. Relaxing measurements for this cell and other cells includes performing measurements for this cell and other cells once every N1 DRX cycles, where the measurements for this cell and other cells occur within the same DRX cycle. Alternatively, performing measurements for this cell once every N2 DRX cycles and measurements for other cells once every N3 DRX cycles, where N3 = k * N2; N1, N2, N3, and k are all positive integers greater than 1.

[0034] The second measurement mode includes at least one of the following: traditional local measurement; traditional local measurement and relaxed other cell measurement; traditional local measurement and other cell measurement.

[0035] Other cell measurements include at least one of the following: measurements of other cells on the same frequency; measurements of other cells on different frequencies; and measurements of other cells on different systems.

[0036] The first operating mode includes at least one of the following: the main receiving device of the terminal is turned on; the low-power receiving device of the terminal is turned off.

[0037] The second operating mode includes at least one of the following: the terminal's low-power receiver is turned on; the main receiver is turned on only when the terminal detects LP-WUS and / or needs to measure; the terminal's low-power receiver is turned on according to the time window corresponding to LP-WUS; the terminal's low-power receiver is turned on according to the configuration of LP-RS; the terminal's corresponding low-power receiver is turned on when the host is turned off.

[0038] In one embodiment, the terminal may determine the measurement mode and / or operating mode according to a predefined method by determining the measurement mode and / or operating mode according to a switching method, wherein the switching method is that when the switching conditions are met, the terminal selects to alternately switch between the second measurement mode and / or the first operating mode and the first measurement mode and / or the second operating mode.

[0039] The switching conditions include: the terminal is in the second measurement mode and / or the first working mode, and the first measurement information obtained within the first set time period meets the set rules; and the terminal is in the first measurement mode and / or the second working mode, and the second measurement information obtained within the second set time period does not meet the set rules.

[0040] In this embodiment, if the terminal is in the second measurement mode and / or the first working mode, and the first measurement information obtained within the first set time period T1 meets the set rules, then the terminal switches to the first measurement mode and / or the second working mode. If the second measurement information obtained within the second set time period T2 does not meet the set rules, then the terminal switches back to the second measurement mode and / or the first working mode, and so on.

[0041] In one embodiment, the terminal determines the measurement mode and / or operating mode according to a predefined method as follows: within a preset period, the terminal is in a second measurement mode within a first preset window; if the third measurement information obtained within the first preset window meets the set rules, the terminal selects to switch to the first measurement mode and / or the second operating mode within the second preset window. And / or, if the third measurement information does not meet the set rules, the terminal is in the second measurement mode and / or the first operating mode within the second preset window; wherein the preset period consists of a first preset window and a second preset window.

[0042] The duration of the preset period is denoted as K, and the offset is denoted as L. Assuming the duration of the first preset window is M1, then the duration of the second preset window is K-M1.

[0043] The first measurement information, the second measurement information, and the third measurement information include at least one of the following: the signal power of the measurement signal, the signal quality of the measurement signal, the signal energy value of the measurement signal, the signal amplitude of the measurement signal, whether the measurement signal was detected, and the number of measurement signals detected.

[0044] The measurement signal can be one or more preset signals within the second time window, and the preset signal can be one or more of the following: LP-RS, LP-WUS, Synchronization and PBCHsignal Block (SSB), Tracking Reference Signal (TRS), and Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS).

[0045] The set rules include any of the following: the measured value is greater than the set threshold; the reference value minus the measured value is greater than the set threshold; the average of multiple measured values ​​is greater than the set threshold; the average of measured values ​​within the second time window is greater than the set threshold; the average of measured values ​​within multiple third time windows is greater than the set threshold.

[0046] The threshold is set via signaling. The second and third time windows can be understood as preset durations.

[0047] In one embodiment, the way the terminal determines the measurement mode and / or operating mode according to a predefined method may be that the terminal is in a second operating mode.

[0048] The term "terminal in second working mode" can be understood as one of the following: the terminal is always in the second working mode; the terminal is in the second working mode after switching from RRC connected state to RRC idle state and / or RRC inactive state.

[0049] In one embodiment, the terminal may determine the measurement mode and / or working mode according to a predefined method by alternating between the first working mode and the second working mode in the following manner: the terminal is in the second working mode for a third set duration and in the first working mode for a fourth set duration.

[0050] In this embodiment, the terminal is in the second working mode for a third set duration T3; and in the first working mode for a fourth set duration T4.

[0051] In one embodiment, the way the terminal determines the measurement mode and / or operating mode according to a predefined method may be: the terminal is in the first measurement mode.

[0052] The term "terminal in first measurement mode" can be understood as one of the following: the terminal is always in first measurement mode; the terminal is in first measurement mode after switching from RRC connected state to RRC idle state and / or RRC inactive state.

[0053] In one embodiment, the terminal may determine the measurement mode and / or working mode according to a predefined method by alternating between the first measurement mode and the second measurement mode in the following manner: the terminal is in the first measurement mode for a fifth set duration and in the second measurement mode for a sixth set duration.

[0054] In this embodiment, the terminal is in the first measurement mode for a fifth set duration T5, and in the second measurement mode for a sixth set duration T6.

[0055] In one embodiment, assuming the first signaling configured in the System Information Block (SIB) is a set threshold for signal power of Th1, and assuming the measurement signal is an SSB, then the first measurement information is the local cell signal power Sr1 determined at least based on the SSB, and the second measurement information is the local cell signal power Sr2 determined at least based on the SSB. Assuming the first measurement mode includes relaxed local cell measurement, and relaxed local cell measurement is performed once every N DRX cycles, and assuming the second measurement mode is traditional local cell measurement. Optionally, Sr = QrxSSB - Qoffset1, where QrxSSB obtains the Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP) value based on the SSB, and Qoffset1 is an offset value composed of one or more parameters;

[0056] The terminal receives a first signaling configuration in the SIB. If the terminal is in the second measurement mode and each Sr1 obtained within the measurement duration T1 is greater than or equal to Th1, the terminal switches to the first measurement mode, meaning the terminal performs a local cell measurement every N DRX cycles. If each Sr2 obtained within the first measurement mode T2 is less than Th1, the terminal switches back to the second measurement mode, meaning the terminal performs a local cell measurement in every DRX cycle. For example, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the pattern determination method in this embodiment. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the terminal alternates between the first measurement mode and the second measurement mode when the switching conditions are met.

[0057] In one embodiment, assuming the first signaling configured by the SIB is a set threshold of signal power Th1, assuming the measurement signal is SSB, the first measurement information is the local cell signal power Sr1 determined at least based on the SSB, and the second measurement information is the local cell signal power Sr2 determined at least based on the SSB. Assuming the first measurement mode is relaxed local cell measurement, and relaxed local cell measurement is performed once every N DRX cycles; assuming the second measurement mode is local cell measurement. Optionally, Sr = QrxSSB - Qoffset1, where QrxSSB obtains the RSRP value based on the SSB, and Qoffset1 is an offset value composed of one or more parameters.

[0058] The terminal receives a first signaling configuration in the SIB. When the terminal is in the second measurement test and each Sr1 obtained within the measurement duration T1 is greater than or equal to Th1, the terminal switches to the first measurement mode, meaning the terminal performs a local cell measurement every N DRX cycles. If each Sr2 obtained within the first measurement mode T2 is less than Th1, the terminal switches back to the second measurement mode, meaning the terminal performs a local cell measurement every DRX cycle; and so on. At this time, T1' = T1 + nk, where n is the number of times the first measurement mode occurs, k is a predefined value, and T1' is the duration of the second measurement mode. For example... Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the pattern determination method in this embodiment. For example... Figure 2 As shown, when the switching conditions are met, the terminal alternates between the first measurement mode and the second measurement mode, and the duration of the second measurement mode is related to the number of times the first measurement mode occurs.

[0059] In one embodiment, assuming the first signaling configured by the SIB is a set threshold for signal power of Th1, assuming the measurement signal is an SSB, the first measurement information is the local cell signal power Sr1 determined at least based on the SSB, and the second measurement information is the local cell signal power Sr2 determined at least based on the SSB. Assuming the first measurement mode is relaxed local cell measurement, and relaxed local cell measurement is performed once every N DRX cycles; assuming the second measurement mode is traditional local cell measurement and other cell measurement. Optionally, Sr = QrxSSB - Qoffset1, where QrxSSB obtains the RSRP value based on the SSB, and Qoffset1 is an offset value composed of one or more parameters.

[0060] The terminal receives a first signaling configuration in the SIB. If the terminal is in the second measurement mode and each Sr1 obtained within the measurement duration T1 is greater than or equal to Th1, the terminal switches to the first measurement mode, meaning the terminal performs a local cell measurement every N DRX cycles. If each Sr2 obtained within the first measurement mode T2 is less than Th1, the terminal switches back to the second measurement mode, meaning the terminal performs local cell measurements and measurements of other cells in each DRX cycle. For example, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the pattern determination method in this embodiment. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the terminal alternates between a first measurement mode and a second measurement mode when the handover conditions are met. In the first measurement mode, a local cell measurement is performed every N DRX cycles. In the second measurement mode, both local cell measurements and measurements of other cells are performed in each DRX cycle.

[0061] In one embodiment, assuming the first signaling configured by the SIB is a set threshold of signal power Th1, assuming the measurement signal is an SSB, the first measurement information is the local cell signal power Sr1 determined at least based on the SSB, and the second measurement information is the local cell signal power Sr2 determined at least based on the SSB. Assuming the first measurement mode is relaxed local cell measurement, and relaxed local cell measurement is performed once every N DRX cycles; assuming the second measurement mode is traditional local cell measurement and relaxed measurement of other cells. Optionally, Sr = QrxSSB - Qoffset1, where QrxSSB obtains the RSRP value based on the SSB, and Qoffset1 is an offset value composed of one or more parameters.

[0062] In this embodiment, if the terminal is in the second measurement mode and the average value of every two Sr1 values ​​obtained within the measurement duration T1 is greater than or equal to Th1, the terminal switches to the first measurement mode, i.e., the terminal performs local cell measurement during paging. If the average value of every two Sr2 values ​​obtained by the terminal within the first measurement mode T2 is less than Th1, then the terminal switches to the second measurement mode, i.e., the terminal performs local cell measurement and relaxes other cell measurements in each DRX cycle. The relaxation of local cell measurement can be determined based on existing technology, and the relaxation method will not be elaborated here.

[0063] In one embodiment, assuming the first signaling configured by the SIB is a set threshold of signal power Th1, assuming the measurement signal is an SSB, the first measurement information is the local cell signal power Sr1 determined at least based on the SSB, and the second measurement information is the local cell signal power Sr2 determined at least based on the SSB. Assuming the first measurement mode is relaxed local and other cell measurement, and relaxed local and other cell measurement is performed once every N1 DRX cycles. Assuming the second measurement mode is traditional local and other cell measurement. Optionally, Sr = QrxSSB - Qoffset1, where QrxSSB obtains the RSRP value based on the SSB, and Qoffset1 is an offset value composed of one or more parameters.

[0064] In this embodiment, if the terminal is in the second measurement mode and each Sr1 obtained within the measurement duration T1 is greater than or equal to Th1, the terminal switches to the first measurement mode, i.e., performing a local cell measurement and other cell measurements every N1 DRX cycles. If the average of any two Sr2 values ​​obtained within T2 of the first measurement mode is less than Th1, then the terminal returns to the second measurement mode, i.e., performing local cell measurements and other cell measurements every DRX cycle. For example, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the pattern determination method in this embodiment. For example... Figure 4As shown, in the first measurement mode, a local cell measurement and a measurement of other cells are performed every N DRX cycles. In the second measurement mode, the traditional local cell and other cell measurement is performed, that is, a local cell measurement and a measurement of other cells are performed in each DRX cycle.

[0065] In one embodiment, assuming the first signaling configured by the SIB is a signal power threshold set to Th1, assuming the measurement signal is an SSB, the first measurement information is the local cell signal power Sr1 determined at least based on the SSB, and the second measurement information is the local cell signal power Sr2 determined at least based on the SSB. Assuming the first measurement mode is relaxed local and other cell measurement, where relaxed local and other cell measurement is performed once every N2 DRX cycles for local cell measurement and once every N3 DRX cycles for other cell measurement, and N3 = kN2. Assuming the second measurement mode is traditional local and other cell measurement. Optionally, Sr = QrxSSB - Qoffset1, where QrxSSB obtains the RSRP value based on the SSB, and Qoffset1 is an offset value composed of one or more parameters.

[0066] In this embodiment, the SIB received by the terminal is configured with a first signaling. When the terminal is in the second measurement mode and each Sr1 obtained within the measurement duration T1 is greater than or equal to Th1, the terminal switches to the first measurement mode. That is, the terminal performs a local cell measurement every N2 DRX cycles and an measurement of other cells every N3 DRX cycles. If each Sr2 obtained within T2 of the first measurement mode is less than Th1, the terminal switches back to the second measurement mode. That is, the terminal performs both local cell measurement and other cell measurement every DRX cycle. For example... Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the pattern determination method in this embodiment. For example... Figure 5 As shown, in the first measurement mode, a measurement of the local cell is performed every N2 DRX cycles, and a measurement of other cells is performed every N3 DRX cycles. In the second measurement mode, both local cell measurement and other cell measurement are performed in each DRX cycle.

[0067] In one embodiment, assuming the first signaling configured by the SIB is a set threshold of signal power Th1 and a set threshold of signal quality Th2, and assuming the measured signal is an SSB within a second time window, the first measurement information is the local cell signal power Sr1 and signal quality Sq1 determined at least based on the SSB, and the second measurement information is the local cell signal power Sr2 and signal quality Sq2 determined at least based on the SSB. Assuming the first measurement mode is relaxed local cell measurement and the second measurement mode is local cell measurement. Optionally, Sr = QrxSSB - Qoffset1, where QrxSSB obtains the RSRP value based on the SSB, and Qoffset1 is an offset value composed of one or more parameters. Sq = QqSSB - Qoffset2, where QqSSB obtains the Reference Signal Receiving Quality (RSRQ) value based on the SSB, and Qoffset2 is an offset value composed of one or more parameters.

[0068] In this embodiment, the SIB received by the terminal is configured with a first signaling. If the terminal is in the second measurement mode and within the measurement duration T1, Sr1 is greater than or equal to Th1 and Sq1 is greater than or equal to Th2, the terminal switches to the first measurement mode. If within the first measurement mode T2, Sr2 is less than Th1 and Sq2 is less than Th2, then the terminal switches to the second measurement mode. For example, Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the pattern determination method in this embodiment. For example... Figure 6 As shown, in the first measurement mode, local cell measurement is relaxed, while in the second measurement mode, traditional local cell measurement is performed.

[0069] In one embodiment, assuming the first signaling configured by the SIB is a set threshold for signal power of Th3 and Th4, and assuming the measurement signal is SSB or LP-RS, the first measurement information is the local cell signal power Sr1 determined at least according to the SSB, and the second measurement information is the local cell signal power Sr3 determined at least according to the LP-RS; assuming the first measurement loss includes relaxing the local cell measurement, and the second measurement mode includes the local cell measurement. The reference power Sr, optionally, is Sr = QrxSSB - Qoffset1, where QrxSSB obtains the RSRP value according to the SSB, and Qoffset1 is an offset value composed of one or more parameters.

[0070] In this embodiment, the SIB received by the terminal is configured with a first signaling. The terminal is in the second measurement mode and obtains Sr1 within the measurement duration T1. Since each Sr1 of the SSB is less than Th3, the terminal switches to the first measurement mode. If each Sr3 obtained by the low-power receiver through the LP-RS within T2 of the first measurement mode is less than Th4, then the terminal switches back to the second measurement mode.

[0071] In one embodiment, assuming the first signaling configured by the SIB is a set threshold for signal power of Th3, assuming the measured signal is the SSB, and the third measurement information is the local cell signal power Sr3 determined at least based on the SSB, assuming the first measurement mode includes relaxed local cell measurement, and the second measurement mode includes conventional local cell measurement. Optionally, Sr = QrxSSB - Qoffset1, where QrxSSB is the RSRP value obtained based on the SSB, and Qoffset1 is an offset value composed of one or more parameters.

[0072] In this embodiment, the SIB received by the terminal is configured with a first signaling. Within each preset period K, the terminal is in the second measurement mode during a first preset window of length M1. If the average of every two Sr3 values ​​obtained within the first preset window is greater than or equal to Th3, then the terminal is in the first measurement mode during the subsequent second preset window (i.e., K-M1). For example, Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of a pattern determination method in this embodiment, such as... Figure 7 As shown, within the first preset window of the preset period K, it is in the second measurement mode, and within the second preset window, it is in the first measurement mode.

[0073] In one embodiment, assuming the first signaling configured by the SIB is a set threshold for signal power of Th3, assuming the measurement signal is LP-RS, and the third measurement information is the local cell signal power Sr3 determined at least according to LP-RS, assuming the first measurement mode includes relaxed local cell measurement, and the second measurement mode includes conventional local cell measurement. Optionally, Sr = QrxLP-RS - Qoffset3, where QrxLP-RS is the RSRP value obtained from LP-RS, and Qoffset3 is an offset value composed of one or more parameters.

[0074] In this embodiment, the SIB received by the terminal is configured with a first signaling. Within each preset period of K, the terminal is in the second measurement mode during a first preset window of length M1. If each Sr3 obtained by the LP-RS through the low-power receiving device within the first preset window is greater than or equal to Th3, then the terminal is in the first measurement mode within the second preset window (i.e., K-M1).

[0075] In one embodiment, it is assumed that a first signaling is configured in the SIB. It is also assumed that the first measurement mode includes relaxed local cell measurement, and the second measurement mode includes conventional local cell measurement.

[0076] In this embodiment, the SIB received by the terminal is configured with a first signaling. The terminal initially operates in a first measurement mode and switches to a second measurement mode after T4. The duration of the second measurement mode is M3. Then, it switches back to the first measurement mode, operating for another T4 duration, and so on. For example, Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of a pattern determination method in this embodiment, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the first measurement mode and the second measurement mode alternate, with the first measurement mode lasting for T4 and the second measurement mode lasting for M3 each time. T4 > M3.

[0077] In one embodiment, it is assumed that a first signaling is configured in the SIB. It is assumed that the first measurement includes relaxing the cell measurement.

[0078] In this embodiment, the SIB received by the terminal is configured with the first signaling, and the terminal is always in the first measurement mode, that is, it performs a cell measurement once every N DRX cycles.

[0079] In one embodiment, assuming the first signaling configured by SIBSIB is a signal power threshold set to Th1, and assuming the measurement signal is SSB or LP-RS, the first measurement information is the local cell signal power Sr1 determined at least based on SSB. Optionally, Sr = Qr x SSB - Qoffset1, where Qr x SSB is the RSRP value obtained from SSB, and Qoffset1 is an offset value composed of one or more parameters. The second measurement information is the local cell signal power Sr2 determined at least based on LP-RS; optionally, Sr2 = Qr x LP-RS - Qoffset3, where Qr x LP-RS is the RSRP value obtained from LP-RS, and Qoffset3 is an offset value composed of one or more parameters. The first operating mode includes the terminal's main receiver being on and the terminal's low-power device being off. The second operating mode includes the terminal's low-power receiver being on, and the main receiver being on when the terminal detects LP-WUS.

[0080] In this embodiment, the SIB received by the terminal is configured with a first signaling. The terminal is in a first operating mode, i.e., the main receiving device is on. If Sr1 obtained within T1 is greater than or equal to the threshold Th1, the terminal switches to a second operating mode, i.e., the terminal activates the low-power receiving device. When LP-WUS is detected, the main receiving device is on, and Sr2 is determined via LP-RS. If every Sr2 obtained within the second operating mode T2 is less than the threshold Th1, then the terminal switches back to the first operating mode, the terminal disables the low-power receiving device, and activates the main receiving device. For example, Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of a pattern determination method in this embodiment, such as... Figure 9 As shown, the terminal alternates between the first working mode and the second working mode.

[0081] In one embodiment, assuming the first signaling configured by the SIB is a set threshold for signal power of Th1, and assuming the measured signal is SSB, the first measurement information is the cell signal power Sr1 determined at least based on the SSB, and the second measurement information is the cell signal power Sr2 determined at least based on the SSB. Optionally, Sr = QrxSSB - Qoffset1, where QrxSSB is the RSRP value obtained from the SSB, and Qoffset1 is an offset value composed of one or more parameters. The first operating mode may include the terminal's main receiver being on and the low-power device being off; the second operating mode includes the terminal enabling the low-power receiver, and upon detecting LP-WUS, disabling the low-power receiver, enabling the main receiver, receiving paging messages, and performing measurements.

[0082] The terminal receives a first signaling message in its SIB, placing it in a first operating mode. The main receiver is on, and the low-power receiver is off. If Sr1 obtained within time T1 is greater than or equal to Th1, the terminal can switch to a second operating mode. In this mode, the low-power receiver is on, and upon detecting LP-WUS, it turns off the low-power receiver and turns on the main receiver to receive paging messages and perform measurements. If every Sr2 obtained within time T2 in the second operating mode is less than Th1, the terminal switches back to the first operating mode, meaning it turns off the low-power receiver and turns on the main receiver.

[0083] In one embodiment, assuming the first signaling configured by the SIB is a set threshold for signal power of Th1, and assuming the measurement signal is the SSB, the first measurement information is the cell signal power Sr1 determined at least based on the SSB, and the second measurement information is the cell signal power Sr2 determined at least based on the SSB. Optionally, Sr = QrxSSB - Qoffset1, where QrxSSB obtains the RSRP value based on the SSB, and Qoffset1 is an offset value composed of one or more parameters.

[0084] In this embodiment, the SIB received by the terminal is configured with a first signaling. The terminal is in a first operating mode, with the main receiving device turned on and the auxiliary receiving device turned off. If each Sr1 obtained within T1 is greater than or equal to a threshold of 1, the terminal switches to a second operating mode. That is, the terminal turns on the low-power receiving device. When LP-WUS is detected, the low-power receiver is turned off, and the main receiving device is turned on to receive paging. When measurement is required, the low-power receiver is turned off, and the main receiving device is turned on. If each Sr2 obtained within T2 in the second operating mode is less than the threshold of 1, the terminal switches back to the first operating mode, that is, the terminal turns off the low-power receiving device and turns on the main receiving device.

[0085] In one embodiment, it is assumed that the first signaling configured by the SIB is a set threshold for signal power of Th3, and the third measurement information is the cell signal power Sr3 determined at least according to the SSB. Optionally, Sr = QrxSSB - Qoffset1, where QrxSSB obtains the RSRP value according to the SSB, and Qoffset1 is an offset value composed of one or more parameters.

[0086] The terminal receives a first signaling message in the SIB. Within each preset period K, the terminal operates in a first operating mode within a first preset window of length M1, and the Sr3 obtained within the first preset window is greater than or equal to Th3. The terminal then switches to the second operating mode within the subsequent second preset window K-M1. For example... Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of a pattern determination method in this embodiment, such as... Figure 10 As shown, it is in the first working mode within the first preset window of the preset period K, and in the second working mode within the second preset window.

[0087] In one embodiment, it is assumed that a first signaling is configured in the SIB. The terminal receives the first signaling configured in the SIB, operates in the second operating mode, and after T4, the terminal switches to the first operating mode, where the duration of the first operating mode is M3. Afterwards, it switches back to the first mode, and so on. The second operating mode is a low-power mode, which is not measured by the terminal.

[0088] In one embodiment, it is assumed that a first signaling is configured in the SIB. The terminal receives the first signaling configured in the SIB, and the terminal is in a second operating mode. After T4, the terminal switches to the first operating mode, where the duration of the first operating mode is M3. Then, it switches back to the first operating mode, and so on. The second operating mode is a low-power mode, and the terminal performs measurements according to LP-WUS.

[0089] In one embodiment, it is assumed that a first signaling is configured in the SIB. The terminal receives the first signaling configured in the SIB, and the terminal is in a second operating mode. After T4, it switches back to the first operating mode, where the duration of the first operating mode is M3. It then switches back to the first operating mode again, and so on. The second operating mode is a low-power mode, and the terminal performs measurements based on LP-RS.

[0090] In one embodiment, it is assumed that a first signaling is configured in the SIB. The terminal receives the first signaling configured in the SIB, and the terminal is in a second operating mode. After T4, it switches back to the first operating mode, where the duration of the first operating mode is M3. It then switches back to the first operating mode again, and so on. The second operating mode is a low-power mode, and the terminal performs measurements based on the LP-RS within a third time window.

[0091] In one embodiment, assuming the first signaling configured is a set threshold for signal power of Th1, assuming the measured signal is SSB, the first measurement information is the local cell signal power Sr1 determined at least based on the SSB, and the second measurement information is the local cell signal power Sr2 determined at least based on the SSB. Assuming the first measurement mode includes relaxed local cell measurement, and assuming the second measurement mode includes conventional local cell measurement.

[0092] In this embodiment, the SIB received by the terminal is configured with a first signaling. The terminal is in a first operating mode (i.e., the main receiving device is on) and in a second measurement mode. Within the measurement duration T1, each Sr1 obtained is greater than or equal to Th1. The terminal switches between the first measurement mode and the second operating mode, i.e., the terminal activates the low-power receiving device. When LP-WUS is detected, the main receiving device is on, and the low-power receiving device is off. Because the first measurement mode requires a measurement of the local cell every N DRX cycles, the main receiving device is on when a local cell measurement is required. If the Sr2 obtained within T2 of the first measurement mode and the second operating mode is less than Th1, the terminal switches back to the second measurement and first mode, i.e., the main receiving device is on, and local cell measurement is performed in each DRX cycle.

[0093] In one embodiment, assuming the first signaling configured is a signal power setting threshold of Th1, assuming the measurement signal is SSB, the first measurement information is the cell signal power Sr1 determined at least according to SSB, and the second measurement information is the cell signal power Sr2 determined at least according to SSB; the first measurement mode includes performing a cell measurement once every N DRX cycles, and the second measurement mode includes traditional cell measurement, that is, performing a cell measurement in each DRX cycle.

[0094] In this embodiment, the SIB received by the terminal is configured with first signaling. The terminal is in a first operating mode (i.e., the main receiving device is on) and a second measurement mode. The terminal performs local cell measurements in each DRX cycle. If each Sr1 obtained within T1 is greater than or equal to Th1, the terminal switches to the second operating mode and the first measurement mode. The terminal activates the low-power receiving device. When LP-WUS is detected and measurement is required, the low-power receiving device is deactivated, the main receiving device is activated, and paging is received and measurements are performed. If each Sr2 obtained within T2 of the second operating mode and the first measurement mode is less than Th1, the terminal switches back to the first operating mode and the second measurement mode. That is, the terminal deactivates the low-power receiving device, activates the main receiving device, and performs local cell measurements in each DRX cycle.

[0095] The technical solution of this application involves a terminal determining the measurement mode and / or operating mode according to a predefined method. This ability to switch between measurement and / or operating modes based on predefined methods reduces power consumption, saving energy and extending battery life.

[0096] In one embodiment, this application also discloses another mode determination method, which is executed by a base station. The method includes: a first parameter corresponding to a base station configuration mode, wherein the first parameter includes at least one of the following: mode signaling, a set threshold, a set duration, and a second parameter for determining a time window.

[0097] The mode signaling may include measurement mode signaling and / or operating mode signaling. The second parameter may include information such as the length and / or location of the time window. In this embodiment, the base station sends the configured first parameter to the terminal, enabling the terminal to perform the mode determination process described in the above embodiment based on the first parameter.
