[0053] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, details the method, apparatus, terminal, and network-side equipment for advance notification of paging provided in this application, through some embodiments and application scenarios.

[0054] Figure 2 This is one of the flowcharts illustrating a method for advance paging indication provided in an embodiment of this application. The method includes the following steps:

[0055] Step 200: If the first condition is met, the terminal skips the paging advance instruction (PEI) monitoring.

[0056] The first condition includes at least one of the following:

[0057] Upon receiving a first indication message, the first indication message is used to indicate skipping PEI monitoring;

[0058] Upon receiving a second indication message, the second indication message is used to indicate that the system information SI of the network-side device communicating with the terminal has changed;

[0059] A preset duration is received, which indicates the duration for which the PEI monitoring is skipped.

[0060] First, let’s introduce the Advance Paging Instruction (PEI).

[0061] For UEs in idle / inactive mode, Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurements and paging PDCCH reception are required. The paging PDCCH is a PDCCH scrambled with Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) using Paging Radio Network Temporary Identity (P-RNTI). Since the probability of a paged UE being present in a PO is low, performing paging PDCCH detection in every paging cycle would result in unnecessary power consumption.

[0062] To reduce terminal power consumption, it has been agreed that the UE will receive a PEI (Pre-Paging Information) before receiving the paging PDCCH. This PEI is a Downlink Control Information (DCI). The UE determines whether it needs to listen to subsequent paging PDCCHs based on the information indicated in the PEI DCI. The UE can determine in advance whether to receive the paging PDCCH based on the PEI. If the PEI indicates that the UE should not receive the paging PDCCH, then the UE does not need to subsequently detect one or more Synchronization Signal and PBCH Blocks (SSBs), thus saving power consumption.

[0063] After the introduction of PEI, the terminal listening paging scheme becomes: the terminal listens to PEI before each PO and determines whether to listen to subsequent paging PDCCH based on the PEI's indication.

[0064] However, during the modification period, when system information changes, the network-side device will repeatedly send paging messages to the terminal to indicate the change, resulting in a high paging probability. When the paging probability is high, using PEI not only fails to provide energy savings but also causes the terminal to consume additional energy to listen for PEI.

[0065] To make it easier to understand, the modification period will be explained below.

[0066] After sending a System Information (SI) change notification, the network-side device broadcasts an updated SI message in the next modification period (except for SI messages carrying Earthquake and Tsunami Warning System (ETWS), Commercial Mobile Alert System (CMAS), and location assistance data).

[0067] The System Frame Number (SFN) of the Modification Period is SFN mod m = 0, where m is the number of radio frames containing the Modification Period. The Modification Period is configured by the network-side equipment.

[0068] The UE uses P-RNTI scrambled DCI to transmit short messages, which carry indications of SImodification and / or PWS (Public Warning System) notifications.

[0069] During previous modification periods, the network may repeatedly send SI change notifications. UEs in RRC_IDLE / RRC_INACTIVE state will listen for SI change notifications on their own PO in each discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle. UEs in RRC_CONNECTED state will listen for SI change notifications at least once in each modification period if they provide a common search space on the active bandwidth part (BWP), including pagingSearchSpace, searchSpaceSIB1, and searchSpaceOtherSystemInformation, and can listen on any PO.

[0070] Therefore, embodiments of this application propose that the UE can skip PEI listening during the modification period.

[0071] In one embodiment of this application, when the terminal receives system information change indication information (i.e., second indication information), the terminal skips paging advance indication PEI listening. In other words, when the terminal receives system information change indication information, it means that the network-side device will repeatedly send paging to the terminal. At this time, the paging probability is high, and the terminal does not listen to PEI afterwards, but directly listens to paging, thereby saving terminal power consumption.

[0072] The terminal can receive a system information change instruction in the following ways:

[0073] Method 1: A paging physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) is received, and the paging PDCCH carries system information change indication information;

[0074] First, let's introduce the paging PDCCH.

[0075] The UE uses the short message indicator and short message on the P-RNTI scrambled DCI format1_0 to indicate at least one of the following: system information changes, ETWS / CMAS notifications, and scheduling information for the Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH). The Short Message Indicator in DCI format1_0 uses 2 bits, the specific meaning of which is shown in Table 1.

[0076] Table 1 Short Message indicator

[0077]

[0078] In DCI format 1_0, 8 bits are used to represent a Short Message. See Table 2 for the specific meanings:

[0079] Table 2 Short Messages

[0080]

[0081] It is understandable that when the terminal receives a systemInfoModification value of 1 in the short message of the paging PDCCH, it indicates that the network-side device has indicated a change in system information.

[0082] Method 2: PEI is detected and the PEI indicates a change in system information;

[0083] It is understood that in this embodiment, the PEI carries an indication of system information changes.

[0084] Optionally, if the terminal detects a PEI and the PEI indicates a change in system information, it can be understood as follows:

[0085] The terminal listens to the paging PDCCH on the PO corresponding to the PEI, and the paging PDCCH carries system information change indication information; or,

[0086] The terminal can detect changes in system information by listening to the PEI, without needing to listen to the PO corresponding to that PEI.

[0087] It should be noted that when the terminal receives a system information change instruction, the terminal will no longer listen to PEI for the remainder of the current modification period. After the current modification period expires, the UE will resume PEI listening in the next modification period.

[0088] The following is a specific example to further illustrate the method for advance notification of paging provided in the embodiments of this application, including:

[0089] Step 1: The UE receives PEI configuration information sent by the network-side device;

[0090] Step 2: The UE listens for PEI on the corresponding PEI occasion according to the PEI configuration information;

[0091] Step 3: If the UE discovers that the PEI indicates that the UE is listening, then the UE will listen to the paging PDCCH on the PO corresponding to the PEI. If the paging PDCCH carries the SI change notification, that is, the systemInfoModification in the short message is 1, then the UE will no longer listen to the PEI for the remaining time of the current modification period, and will directly listen to the paging PDCCH on its own corresponding PO.

[0092] Step 4: The UE resumes PEI listening in the next modification period.

[0093] In some optional embodiments, the network-side device may also explicitly instruct the terminal to skip subsequent PEI sniffing. In other words, the terminal skips subsequent PEI sniffing based on the instruction sent by the network-side device. This can be achieved in the following ways:

[0094] Method 1: The terminal receives a first indication message, which is used to indicate that PEI monitoring should be skipped.

[0095] In this scenario, the UE needs another indication to indicate the resumption of PEI monitoring.

[0096] The following is a specific example to further illustrate the method for advance notification of paging provided in the embodiments of this application, including:

[0097] Step 1: The UE receives PEI configuration information sent by the network-side device;

[0098] Step 2: The UE listens for PEI on the corresponding PEI occasion according to the PEI configuration information;

[0099] Step 3: The UE receives the first instruction message. The UE no longer listens to the PEI and directly listens to the paging PDCCH on its corresponding PO.

[0100] Step 4: The UE receives the third instruction information sent by the network and resumes PEI listening.

[0101] Method 2: The terminal receives a first indication message, which is used to indicate that PEI monitoring should be skipped within a first time period.

[0102] It should be noted that the first duration can be a pre-configured or predefined duration, or it can be indicated by the first indication information.

[0103] In this scenario, the UE resumes PEI listening after the first duration expires.

[0104] In one embodiment, when the terminal receives the first instruction information, the terminal starts a timer. The duration of the timer is determined according to the first duration. During the timer's operation, the terminal skips PEI monitoring. After the timer expires, the terminal resumes PEI monitoring.

[0105] The following is a specific example to further illustrate the method for advance notification of paging provided in the embodiments of this application, including:

[0106] Step 1: The UE receives PEI configuration information sent by the network-side device. In addition, the UE receives a first duration configured by the network-side device, or the first duration is a pre-configured or predefined duration.

[0107] Step 2: The UE listens for PEI on the corresponding PEI occasion according to the PEI configuration information;

[0108] Step 3: The UE receives the first instruction message. The UE no longer listens to the PEI and directly listens to the paging PDCCH on its corresponding PO.

[0109] Step 4: Expire immediately and UE resumes PEI detection.

[0110] Method 3: The terminal receives a preset duration, which is used to instruct the terminal to skip PEI monitoring for a certain duration.

[0111] In this scenario, the UE resumes PEI listening after the preset duration has expired.

[0112] In one embodiment, when the terminal receives a preset duration, the terminal starts a timer. The duration of the timer is determined according to the preset duration. During the operation of the timer, the terminal skips PEI monitoring. After the timer expires, the terminal resumes PEI monitoring.

[0113] The following is a specific example to further illustrate the method for advance notification of paging provided in the embodiments of this application, including:

[0114] Step 1: The UE receives PEI configuration information sent by the network-side device;

[0115] Step 2: The UE listens for PEI on the corresponding PEI occasion according to the PEI configuration information;

[0116] Step 3: After the UE receives the preset duration, the UE no longer listens to the PEI, but directly listens to the pagingPDCCH on its corresponding PO;

[0117] Step 4: The second time expires, and the UE resumes PEI listening.

[0118] In this embodiment of the application, when the terminal receives at least one of the following: system information change indication, skip PEI monitoring indication, and preset duration, it can skip PEI monitoring, thereby avoiding unnecessary PEI monitoring, saving terminal power consumption, and improving the flexibility of PEI monitoring.

[0119] In some embodiments, the terminal skips Paging Advance Indication (PEI) monitoring, including:

[0120] During each discontinuous reception DRX cycle, the paging opportunity PO listens for paging.

[0121] Understandably, if the first condition is met, the terminal will listen for paging opportunities on the Paging Opportunity PO in each subsequent discontinuous DRX reception cycle.

[0122] In some embodiments, at least one of the first indication information and the preset duration is carried via a first signaling;

[0123] The first signaling includes one of the following: Paging PDCCH; Paging message; PEI; PEI configuration information; System Information block 1 (SIB1); Radio Resource Control (RRC) dedicated signaling.

[0124] Optionally, the configuration information for the first duration or the preset duration can be a positive integer N, that is, the first duration or the preset duration includes N time units, wherein the time units include one of the following: radio frame, time slot, PEI, DRX period, millisecond (ms), and second (s).

[0125] In some embodiments, after the terminal skips Paging Advance Indication (PEI) monitoring when the first condition is met, the method further includes:

[0126] If the second condition is met, the terminal resumes PEI listening;

[0127] The second condition includes at least one of the following:

[0128] The modification period of the SI has expired;

[0129] If the timer times out, the timer's running time is determined according to the preset duration, and the Paging Advance Indication (PEI) monitoring is skipped during the timer's running period;

[0130] A third instruction message is received, which is used to instruct the resumption of PEI monitoring.

[0131] It can be understood that when the modification period of the SI expires, that is, when the current modification period expires, it means that the paging of the system information change indication has been completed. At this time, the terminal can resume PEI listening in the next modification period.

[0132] In one embodiment, the terminal receives a first indication message, wherein the first indication message is used to indicate that PEI monitoring is skipped for a first duration, and the terminal resumes PEI monitoring after the first duration expires.

[0133] In one embodiment, the terminal receives a preset duration and skips PEI monitoring; if the second duration expires, the terminal resumes PEI monitoring.

[0134] In one embodiment, the terminal receives a first indication message, which instructs the terminal to skip PEI monitoring. If a third indication message is received, which instructs the terminal to resume PEI monitoring, the terminal then resumes PEI monitoring.

[0135] In this embodiment of the application, if the second condition described above is met, the terminal can resume PEI monitoring, thereby continuing to save terminal power consumption by monitoring PEI and improving the flexibility of PEI monitoring.

[0136] In some embodiments, before the terminal skips paging advance indication PEI monitoring when the first condition is met, the method further includes:

[0137] The terminal receives the fourth indication information sent by the network-side device;

[0138] The fourth indication information is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0139] The network-side device supports skipping PEI snooping;

[0140] The network-side device supports skipping PEI monitoring within the preset time period.

[0141] It is understood that before the terminal receives the relevant indication information for skipping PEI monitoring and the advance indication for skipping paging PEI monitoring, the network-side device sends the information that it supports skipping PEI monitoring to the terminal, which allows the terminal to flexibly monitor PEI.

[0142] In some embodiments, the terminal has a first capability, the first capability including the terminal supporting PEI snooping and skipping PEI snooping.

[0143] It is understood that the terminal's ability to support PEI snooping and skip PEI snooping is a necessary condition for the implementation of this application.

[0144] Figure 3 This is a second flowchart illustrating the method for advance notification of paging monitoring provided in this application. Figure 3 As shown, the method for advance notification of paging includes the following steps:

[0145] Step 300: The network-side device sends at least one of the following to the terminal: a first indication message and a preset duration.

[0146] The first indication information is used to indicate skipping Paging Advance Indication (PEI) monitoring;

[0147] The preset duration is used to indicate the duration for which the PEI monitoring is skipped.

[0148] In some embodiments, the network-side device explicitly instructs the terminal to skip PEI snooping.

[0149] This can be achieved in the following ways:

[0150] Method 1: The network-side device sends a first indication message to the terminal, which is used to instruct the terminal to skip PEI snooping.

[0151] In this scenario, the UE needs another indication to indicate the resumption of PEI monitoring.

[0152] Method 2: The network-side device sends a first indication message to the terminal, which instructs the terminal to skip PEI monitoring within a first time period.

[0153] It should be noted that the first duration can be a pre-configured or predefined duration, or it can be indicated by the first indication information.

[0154] In this scenario, the UE resumes PEI listening after the first duration expires.

[0155] Method 3: The network-side device sends a preset duration to the terminal, which is used to instruct the terminal to skip PEI monitoring for a certain duration.

[0156] In this scenario, the UE resumes PEI listening after the preset duration has expired.

[0157] In this embodiment of the application, the network-side device explicitly instructs the terminal to skip PEI listening, which can avoid the terminal from performing unnecessary PEI listening, save terminal power consumption, and improve the flexibility of terminal PEI listening.

[0158] In some embodiments, at least one of the first indication information and the preset duration is carried via a first signaling;

[0159] The first signaling includes one of the following: paging physical downlink control channel (PDCCH); paging message; PEI; system information block 1 (SIB1); radio resource control (RRC) release message.

[0160] Understandably, network-side devices can use paging PDCCH, paging messages, PEI, SIB1, and RRC release messages to instruct terminals to skip PEI listening.

[0161] Optionally, the configuration information for the first duration or the preset duration can be a positive integer N, that is, the first duration or the preset duration includes N time units, wherein the time units include one of the following: radio frame, time slot, PEI, DRX period, millisecond (ms), and second (s).

[0162] In some embodiments, after the network-side device sends the first indication information to the terminal, the method further includes:

[0163] A third instruction message is sent to the terminal, the third instruction message being used to instruct the terminal to resume PEI monitoring.

[0164] Understandably, the network-side device sends a first indication message to the terminal, which instructs the terminal to skip PEI monitoring. Then, at an appropriate time, such as when the current modification period has expired, the paging for system information changes has ended, or the maximum duration for which the network-side device supports skipping PEI monitoring has expired, the network-side device sends a third indication message to the terminal, which instructs the terminal to resume PEI monitoring. The terminal then resumes PEI monitoring.

[0165] In this embodiment, the network-side device instructs the terminal to resume PEI listening, thereby enabling the terminal to continue saving power by listening to PEI, thus improving the flexibility of the terminal's PEI listening.

[0166] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0167] Send a fourth instruction message to the terminal;

[0168] The fourth indication information is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0169] The network-side device supports skipping PEI snooping;

[0170] The network-side device supports skipping PEI monitoring within the preset time period.

[0171] It is understandable that network-side devices send information about their ability to bypass PEI monitoring to the terminal, allowing the terminal to flexibly monitor PEI.

[0172] Figure 4 This is one of the interactive flow diagrams of the method for advance paging indication provided in an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the method for advance notification of paging includes:

[0173] Step 400: The network-side device sends at least one of the following: Paging PDCCH, PEI, first indication information, and preset duration;

[0174] Step 401: If the first condition is met, the terminal skips the paging advance indication (PEI) monitoring.

[0175] Figure 5 This is a second schematic diagram of the interactive flow of the method for advance notification of paging provided in an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 5 As shown, the method for advance notification of paging includes:

[0176] Step 500: The network-side device sends at least one of the following: Paging PDCCH, PEI, first indication information, and preset duration;

[0177] Step 501: If the first condition is met, the terminal skips the paging advance indication (PEI) monitoring.

[0178] Step 502: The network-side device sends a third instruction message;
