[0065] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the embodiments of this application, the following description will be provided first.

[0066] 1. Advance paging instructions.

[0067] For UEs in idle 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 RNTI (P-RNTI). Since the probability of a paged UE being present in a paging occasion (PO) is low, performing paging PDCCH detection in every paging cycle would result in unnecessary power consumption.

[0068] To reduce terminal power consumption, the UE receives a PEI (Downlink Control Information) before receiving the paging PDCCH. The PEI indicates whether the UE needs to listen for subsequent paging PDCCHs based on the information in the PEI DCI. In this way, 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, the UE does not need to detect one or more SSBs subsequently, thus saving power consumption.

[0069] 2. Design of PEI-O.

[0070] For the specific location design of PEI occasion (PEI-O), the relevant location of PEI-O is determined based on the following two offsets.

[0071] 1) Parameter 1: Frame-level offset (PEI-F_offset), such as Figure 2 As shown, this is the frame-level offset between the starting position of the PEI-frame and the starting position of the first paging frame (PF) it indicates.

[0072] 2) Parameter 2: Symbol-level offset (first PDCCH - Monitoring Occasion Of PEI-O), such as Figure 2 As shown, this represents the symbol-level offset between the first PDCCH MO of PEI-O and the starting position of its associated PEI-frame.

[0073] One PEI-O can be comprised of one or more PEI PDCCH MOs (abbreviated as PEI-MO).

[0074] The information acquisition method provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through some embodiments and application scenarios.

[0075] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, this application provides an information acquisition method, including:

[0076] Step 301: The terminal obtains a first offset, which is used to indicate the offset between the radio frame associated with the paging advance indication timing PEI-O and the first paging advance indication listening timing PEI-MO of the PEI-O.

[0077] Optionally, the first offset is used to indicate the offset between the start time of the radio frame associated with the PEI-O and the start time of the first paging advance indication listening time PEI-MO of the PEI-O.

[0078] The value range of the first offset (first PDCCH - Monitoring Occasion Of PEI-O) is related to at least one of the following:

[0079] Subcarrier spacing (SCS);

[0080] The length of the wireless frame;

[0081] The first density is the density of the PEI-O or paging advance indication frame PEI-frame within the first time span;

[0082] The second offset value indicates the offset between the radio frame associated with the PEI-O and the target paging frame PF, wherein the target paging frame is the earliest or latest PF among at least one PFs containing the paging time PO associated with the PEI-O. Optionally, the second offset indicates the offset between the start time of the radio frame associated with the PEI-O and the start time of the target paging frame PF.

[0083] The aforementioned first time span can be the paging cycle (such as the default paging cycle configured by the network-side device) or other preset time lengths.

[0084] Step 302: The terminal listens to the PEI-O according to the first offset.

[0085] In this embodiment, a first offset is obtained, which indicates the offset between the radio frame associated with the paging advance indication timing PEI-O and the first PEI-MO of the PEI-O. The value range of the first offset is related to at least one of the following: subcarrier spacing (SCS); the length of the radio frame; a first density, which is the density of PEI-Os or PEI-frames within a first time span. A second offset is obtained, indicating the offset between the radio frame associated with the PEI-O and the target paging frame (PF), where the target paging frame is the earliest or latest PF among at least one PFs containing the paging timing timing (PO) associated with the PEI-O. Since the first density, second offset, and SCS are configurable parameters with flexible value ranges, determining the value range of the first offset based on the first density, second offset, and / or SCS makes the value of the first offset more adaptable and flexible, thereby improving the terminal's PEI-O detection performance.

[0086] As a first optional implementation, when the value range of the first offset is related to the first density and SCS, the first offset satisfies:

[0087] offset ≤ first sign number;

[0088] Optionally, 0 ≤ offset ≤ first sign number;

[0089] Where offset represents the value of the first offset, and the first sign number is calculated based on the first density and SCS.

[0090] Optionally, the specific calculation process for obtaining the first symbol number includes:

[0091] Based on the first density, the interval between two adjacent PEI-frames is obtained;

[0092] The first symbol number is obtained based on the interval between two adjacent PEI-frames and the SCS.

[0093] Optionally, the first density is related to at least one of the following:

[0094] Second density;

[0095] The number of POs associated with PEI-O;

[0096] The number of PFs associated with the PEI-O;

[0097] Wherein, the second density is the density of PF within the second time span.

[0098] It is understandable that the aforementioned first density may be specifically configured by the network-side device, or it may be obtained by the terminal based on the information of the aforementioned related items.

[0099] Optionally, the first time span mentioned above can be equal to the second time span mentioned above. Furthermore, the first time span and the second time span are both the paging period length.

[0100] Optionally, when the first density is related to the second density and the number of PFs associated with PO in the PEI-O, the first density satisfies:

[0101] First density = Second density ÷ Number of PFs occupied by PO associated with PEI-O.

[0102] Optionally, the first density is equal to the second density. For example, when the network-side device is not configured with the first density, the network-side device and the terminal can understand that the first density and the second density are equal by default.

[0103] In other words, network-side devices can obtain the first density implicitly through the aforementioned second density without explicitly configuring the first density.

[0104] In one embodiment, the network-side device is configured with the aforementioned second density and the number of power points (PFs) occupied by the PO associated with the PEI-O. The network-side device and the terminal-side device can then implicitly obtain the first density, where the first density = second density ÷ number of PFs occupied by the PO associated with the PEI-O. For example, if the second density is 1 / 2 and the number of PFs occupied by the PO associated with the PEI-O is 2, then the first density is 1 / 4. That is, the density of PEI-frames within the first time span is 1 / 4, meaning that there is one PEI-frame in every four radio frames.

[0105] In this embodiment of the application, the value of the first density can be 1, 1 / 2, 1 / 4, 1 / 8, 1 / 16, 1 / 32, etc., and the terminal can determine the number of PEI-O or PEI-frame within the first time span based on the first density.

[0106] In this implementation, the range of values ​​for the first offset can be... Where x represents the first density, and μ represents the value of SCS. The unit of the first offset is symbol. It can be understood that within the above value range... This refers to the first symbolic number.

[0107] For example, if the SCS is 15kHz and the first density is 1 / 2, then the range of the first offset is (0, (10*1*14*2-1)=279). The unit of this first offset is a symbol.

[0108] In this implementation, the calculation process for obtaining the first symbol number based on the first density and SCS is as follows:

[0109] Taking the reciprocal of the first density yields the interval between two adjacent PEI-frames (this interval is abbreviated as PEI-frameinterval). For example, if the first density is 1 / 2, then the number of radio frames occupied by the PEI-frame interval is 2, which means the PEI-frame interval is equal to 20ms.

[0110] The first symbol count is equal to the number of symbols occupied by the PEI-frame interval minus 1. The first symbol count varies depending on the value of SCS.

[0111] It is understandable that the number of radio frames occupied by the first density * the first time span = the total number of PEI-frames or PEI-O within the first time span;

[0112] In this implementation, the first offset can range from (0, the number of symbols occupied by the PEI-frame interval - 1). The network-side device can flexibly configure the size of the PEI-frame interval, and since the size of the PEI-frame interval is greater than or equal to the length of a radio frame, the range of the first offset is relatively large. This allows the network-side device to configure the first offset more flexibly to adapt to different application scenarios. Furthermore, since the range of the first offset is limited to within the PEI-frame interval, it also avoids overlap between PEI-Os contained in different PEI-frames. Therefore, this implementation ensures both PEI-O detection performance and network configuration flexibility.

[0113] As a second optional implementation, when the range of the first offset is related to the value of the second offset and the SCS, the first offset satisfies:

[0114] offset ≤ second sign number;

[0115] Optionally, 0 ≤ offset ≤ second sign number;

[0116] Where offset represents the value of the first offset, and the second sign number is calculated based on the value of the second offset and the SCS.

[0117] In this implementation, the value range of the first offset can be specifically (0, f*10*2). μ *14-1), where f represents the value of the second offset, the unit of f is frames, and μ represents the value of SCS. It can be understood that here f*10*2 μ *14-1 is the second number of symbols, which is the number of symbols occupied by the second offset mentioned above minus 1.

[0118] For example, if the second offset includes 4 radio frames and the SCS is 15kHz, then in the above implementation, the value range of the first offset is (0, (4*10*1*14-1)=559).

[0119] In this implementation, since the value of the second offset is configurable and has a large range, the first offset can also be configured flexibly using this method. However, in some scenarios, this implementation cannot avoid the overlap between PEI-Os contained in different PEI-frames.

[0120] As a third optional implementation, when the value range of the first offset is related to the length of a radio frame and the SCS, the first offset satisfies:

[0121] offset ≤ third sign number;

[0122] Optionally, 0 ≤ offset ≤ third sign number;

[0123] Where offset represents the value of the first offset, and the third symbol number is calculated based on the length of the radio frame and the SCS.

[0124] For different SCS levels, the number of symbols occupied by a radio frame is different.

[0125] The type of the wireless frame can be a specific type of wireless frame, such as a PEI-frame.

[0126] In this implementation, the range of the first offset can be specifically (0, 10*2). μ *14-1); μ represents the value of SCS, 10*2 μ *14-1 is the third symbol number mentioned above. The unit of this first offset is a symbol. For example, if SCS is 15KHz, then in this implementation, the value range of the first offset is (0, 139).

[0127] In one specific embodiment of this application, the terminal obtains the first offset, then determines the location information of PEI-O based on it, and then performs PEI-O monitoring; if the terminal detects the first downlink control information (DCI) (the first DCI is the DCI carrying PEI information) on PEI-O, it determines whether to monitor the PO associated with itself based on the indication information in the first DCI indicating whether it needs to monitor the PO.

[0128] If a terminal is instructed by a first DCI to listen to its associated PO, the terminal listens to the associated PO. The location information of the PO is determined based on a second parameter, the value of which is related to a second density and the SCS. The second density refers to the density of paging frames within a second time span (e.g., a paging cycle). In other words, in this embodiment, the terminal listens to PEI-O and / or PO based on the first density and the second density.

[0129] Through the different implementation methods described above, the method of this application embodiment improves the network's configuration flexibility for the first offset, and also improves the terminal's detection performance for PEI-O by avoiding collisions between PEI-O and other channel signals or between multiple PEI-Os associated with different PEI-frames.

[0130] like Figure 4 As shown in the embodiments of this application, an information configuration method is also provided, including:

[0131] Step 401: The network-side device configures a first offset, which is used to indicate the offset between the radio frame associated with the paging advance indication timing PEI-O and the first paging advance indication listening timing PEI-MO of the PEI-O;

[0132] Optionally, the first offset is used to indicate the offset between the start time of the radio frame associated with the PEI-O and the start time of the first PEI-MO of the PEI-O.

[0133] The value range of the first offset is related to at least one of the following:

[0134] Subcarrier spacing (SCS);

[0135] The length of the wireless frame;

[0136] The first density is the density of the PEI-O or paging advance indication frame PEI-frame within the first time span;

[0137] The value of the second offset is used to indicate the offset between the radio frame associated with the PEI-O and the target paging frame PF, wherein the target paging frame is the earliest or latest PF among at least one PF where the paging time PO associated with the PEI-O is located.

[0138] The aforementioned first time span can be the paging cycle (such as the default paging cycle configured by the network-side device) or other preset time lengths.

[0139] In this embodiment, the network-side device configures the aforementioned first offset and sends it to the terminal. The value range of the first offset is related to at least one of the following: subcarrier spacing (SCS); radio frame length; first density, which is the density of PEI-O or PEI-frame within a first time span; and the value of a second offset, which indicates the offset between the start time of the radio frame associated with the PEI-O and the start time of the target paging frame (PF), wherein the target paging frame is the earliest or latest PF among at least one PFs containing the paging opportunity (PO) associated with the PEI-O. Since the first density, second offset, and SCS are configurable parameters with flexible value ranges, determining the value range of the first offset based on the first density, second offset, and / or SCS makes the value of the first offset more adaptable and flexible, thereby improving the terminal's PEI-O detection performance.

[0140] As a first optional implementation, when the value range of the first offset is related to the first density and SCS, the first offset satisfies:

[0141] offset ≤ first sign number;

[0142] Optionally, 0 ≤ offset ≤ first sign number;

[0143] Where offset represents the value of the first offset, and the first sign number is calculated based on the first density and SCS.

[0144] Optionally, the method in this application embodiment further includes:

[0145] Based on the first density, the interval between two adjacent PEI-frames is obtained;

[0146] The first symbol number is obtained based on the interval between two adjacent PEI-frames and the SCS.

[0147] Optionally, the first density is related to at least one of the following:

[0148] Second density;

[0149] The number of POs associated with PEI-O;

[0150] The number of PFs associated with the PEI-O;

[0151] Wherein, the second density is the density of PF within the second time span.

[0152] Optionally, the first time span mentioned above can be equal to the second time span mentioned above. Furthermore, the first time span and the second time span are both the paging period length.

[0153] Optionally, when the first density is related to the second density and the number of PFs associated with PO in the PEI-O, the first density satisfies:

[0154] First density = Second density ÷ Number of PFs occupied by PO associated with PEI-O;

[0155] Optionally, the first density is equal to the second density. For example, when the network-side device is not configured with the first density, the network-side device and the terminal can understand that the first density and the second density are equal by default.

[0156] In other words, network-side devices can obtain the first density implicitly through the aforementioned second density without explicitly configuring the first density.

[0157] In one embodiment, the network-side device configures the aforementioned second density and the number of power points (PFs) occupied by the PO associated with the PEI-O. Then, the network-side device and the terminal-side device can implicitly obtain the first density, where the first density = second density ÷ number of PFs occupied by the PO associated with the PEI-O. For example, if the second density is 1 / 2 and the number of PFs occupied by the PO associated with the PEI-O is 2, then the first density is 1 / 4. That is, the density of PEI-frames within the first time span is 1 / 4, meaning there is one PEI-frame in every four radio frames.

[0158] In this embodiment of the application, the value of the first density can be 1, 1 / 2, 1 / 4, 1 / 8, 1 / 16, 1 / 32, etc., and the terminal can determine the number of PEI-O or PEI-frame within the first time span based on the first density.

[0159] In this implementation, the range of values ​​for the first offset can be... Where x represents the first density, and μ represents the value of SCS. The unit of the first offset is symbol. It can be understood that within the above value range... This refers to the first symbolic number.

[0160] For example, if the SCS is 15kHz and the first density is 1 / 2, then the range of the first offset is (0, (10*1*14*2-1)=279). The unit of this first offset is a symbol.

[0161] In this implementation, the calculation process for obtaining the first symbol number based on the first density and SCS is as follows:

[0162] Taking the reciprocal of the first density yields the interval between two adjacent PEI-frames (this interval is abbreviated as PEI-frameinterval). For example, if the first density is 1 / 2, then the number of radio frames occupied by the PEI-frame interval is 2, which means the PEI-frame interval is equal to 20ms.

[0163] The first symbol count is equal to the number of symbols occupied by the PEI-frame interval minus 1. The first symbol count varies depending on the value of SCS.

[0164] It is understandable that the number of radio frames occupied by the first density * the first time span = the total number of PEI-frames or PEI-O within the first time span;

[0165] In this implementation, the first offset can range from (0, the number of symbols occupied by the PEI-frame interval - 1). The network-side device can flexibly configure the size of the PEI-frame interval, and since the size of the PEI-frame interval is greater than or equal to the length of a radio frame, the range of the first offset is relatively large. This allows the network-side device to configure the first offset more flexibly to adapt to different application scenarios. Furthermore, since the range of the first offset is limited to within the PEI-frame interval, it also avoids overlap between PEI-Os contained in different PEI-frames. Therefore, this implementation ensures both PEI-O detection performance and network configuration flexibility.

[0166] As a second optional implementation, when the range of the first offset is related to the value of the second offset and the SCS, the first offset satisfies:

[0167] offset ≤ second sign number;

[0168] Optionally, 0 ≤ offset ≤ second sign number;

[0169] Where offset represents the value of the first offset, and the second sign number is calculated based on the value of the second offset and the SCS.

[0170] In this implementation, the value range of the first offset can be specifically (0, f*10*2). μ *14-1); f represents the value of the second offset, where f is in frames, and μ represents the value of SCS. f*10*2 μ *14-1 is the second symbol count, which is the number of symbols occupied by the second offset mentioned above minus 1. The unit of the first offset is a symbol.

[0171] As a third optional implementation, when the value range of the first offset is related to the length of a radio frame and the SCS, the first offset satisfies:

[0172] offset ≤ third sign number;

[0173] Optionally, 0 ≤ offset ≤ third sign number;

[0174] Where offset represents the value of the first offset, and the third symbol number is calculated based on the length of the radio frame and the SCS.

[0175] The number of symbols a frame occupies varies depending on the SCS level.

[0176] The type of the wireless frame can be a specific type of wireless frame, such as a PEI-frame.

[0177] In this implementation, the range of the first offset can be specifically (0, 10*2). μ *14-1); μ represents the value of SCS, 10*2 μ *14-1 is the third symbol number mentioned above. The unit of this first offset is a symbol.

[0178] Optionally, the network-side device configured with the first offset in this embodiment includes:

[0179] The network-side device configures a first offset list, which includes at least one first offset. The number of first offsets included in the first offset list is determined based on the maximum number of PEI-Os contained within a paging cycle or PEI-frame. Optionally, the number of first offsets included in the first offset list can be determined based on the maximum number of PEI-Os contained within a paging cycle or PEI-frame, with a minimum number specifically being 1.

[0180] Optionally, each of the first offsets in the first offset list corresponds to a PEI-O.

[0181] In one specific embodiment of this application, when applying the first optional implementation described above, the Radio Resource Control (RRC) parameters configured by the network-side device include the following:

[0182] The first density, i.e. the density of the PEI-frame within the paging cycle, is the parameter nAndPEI-FrameOffset in the RRC parameter information below;

[0183] For the offset of the PEI-frame, please refer to nAndPEI-FrameOffset in the RRC parameter information below;

[0184] For the first offset, see the parameter firstPDCCH-MonitoringOccasionOfPEI-O in the RRC parameter information below;

[0185] The first offset list has a size range of (1, max PEI-O-perPEI-frameor perT), where max PEI-O-perPEI-frame or perT refers to the maximum number of PEI-Os contained in a PEI-frame or a paging cycle. See the parameter firstPDCCH-MonitoringOccasionOfPEI-O in Table 1 below for details.

[0186] RRC parameter information:

[0187] 1)

[0188] 2)

[0189]

[0190] The above-mentioned implementation methods improve the network's configuration flexibility for the first offset, and also improve the terminal's PEI-O detection performance by avoiding collisions between PEI-O and other channel signals or between multiple PEI-Os associated with different PEI-frames.

[0200] Optionally, when the range of the first offset is related to the first density and SCS, the first offset satisfies:

[0215] offset ≤ third sign number;

[0216] Where offset represents the value of the first offset, and the third symbol number is calculated based on the length of the radio frame and the SCS.

[0217] The apparatus of this application embodiment acquires a first offset, which indicates the offset between the radio frame associated with the paging advance indication timing PEI-O and the first PEI-MO of the PEI-O.

A second offset is acquired, indicating the offset between the radio frame associated with the PEI-O and the target paging frame (PF), where the target paging frame is the earliest or latest PF among at least one PFs containing the paging timing (PO) associated with the PEI-O. Since the first density, second offset, and SCS are configurable parameters with flexible value ranges, determining the value range of the first offset based on the first density, second offset, and / or SCS makes the value of the first offset more adaptable and flexible, thereby improving the terminal's PEI-O detection performance.
