Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular to a WUS monitoring method, terminal device, chip, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, 5G New Radio (NR) has added a wake-up signal (WUS) configuration to the existing Connected Discontinuous Reception (CDRX) scheme to further save power. When WUS is configured, the User Equipment (UE) receives DCI2-6 before CDRX wake-up and determines whether wake-up is needed based on the cell indications in DCI2-6. If wake-up is needed, it enters the CDRX onDuration period. After the network is configured with WUS, when there are no uplink or downlink services, the UE only needs to periodically listen to WUS and does not need to periodically wake up to enter CDRX.

[0003] However, before the UE listens to DCI2-6 or starts CDRX On Duration, it needs to receive a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) for network pre-synchronization. If the distance from receiving the SSB to the WUS listening position is too long, the power consumption due to waiting may offset the power saving of WUS, or even make the power consumption higher. If WUS listening is still performed at this time, it will seriously affect the power saving performance of the UE. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a WUS monitoring method, terminal device, chip, and storage medium, which can effectively reduce the power consumption of the terminal device and improve power saving performance.

[0005] The technical solution of this application embodiment is implemented as follows:

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a WUS monitoring method, the method comprising:

[0007] If the total power consumption of the monitored WUS is greater than the total power consumption of the monitored CDRX, monitor the CDRX and stop monitoring the WUS.

[0008] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a terminal device, the terminal device including: a listening unit,

[0009] The monitoring unit is configured to monitor the CDRX and stop monitoring the WUS when the total power consumption of monitoring WUS is greater than the total power consumption of monitoring CDRX.

[0010] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide a terminal device, which includes a processor and a memory storing processor-executable instructions. When the instructions are executed by the processor, the WUS monitoring method described above is implemented.

[0011] Fourthly, embodiments of this application provide a chip, which includes programmable logic circuits and / or program instructions, and when the chip is running, it implements the WUS monitoring method as described above.

[0012] Fifthly, embodiments of this application provide a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the WUS listening method as described above.

[0013] This application provides a WUS monitoring method, a terminal device, a chip, and a storage medium. When the total power consumption of monitoring WUS is greater than the total power consumption of monitoring CDRX, the terminal device monitors CDRX and stops monitoring WUS. Therefore, in this application's embodiments, even if the terminal is configured with WUS, it does not monitor WUS in every scenario. Instead, based on the current network configuration, it determines whether WUS monitoring is necessary by comparing the total power consumption of monitoring WUS with that of monitoring CDRX. If it is determined that the total power consumption of monitoring WUS is greater than that of monitoring CDRX, i.e., under the current network configuration, monitoring WUS is not conducive to reducing the terminal device's power consumption, then CDRX is executed instead of WUS monitoring, thereby effectively reducing the terminal device's power consumption and improving power-saving performance.

[0024] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the relevant application and not for limiting the application. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to the relevant application are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0025] The technical solutions of this application embodiment can be applied to 5G NR communication systems.

[0026] For example, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the communication system used in the embodiments of this application, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the communication system 100 may include a network device 110, which may be a device that communicates with the UE 120 (or a communication terminal, terminal). The network device 110 may be a network-side device in a 5G network.

[0027] The communication system 100 also includes at least one UE 120 located within the coverage area of ​​network device 110. As used herein, "UE" includes, but is not limited to, a device configured to receive / transmit communication signals via a wired connection, such as via a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), digital cable, direct cable connection; and / or another data connection / network; and / or via a wireless interface, such as for a cellular network, Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), digital television network such as DVB-H, satellite network, AM-FM broadcast transmitter; and / or another UE. A UE configured to communicate via a wireless interface may be referred to as a "wireless communication terminal," "wireless terminal," or "mobile terminal."

[0028] Optionally, UE120 can perform device-to-device (D2D) communication with each other.

[0029] Currently, 5G New Radio (NR) has added a wake-up signal (WUS) configuration to the existing Connected Discontinuous Reception (CDRX) scheme to further save power. When WUS is configured, the User Equipment (UE) receives DCI2-6 before CDRX wake-up and determines whether wake-up is needed based on the cell indications in DCI2-6. If wake-up is needed, it enters the CDRX onDuration period. After the network is configured with WUS, when there are no uplink or downlink services, the UE only needs to periodically listen to WUS and does not need to periodically wake up to enter CDRX.

[0030] Before a UE can listen to DCI2-6 or initiate CDRX On Duration, it needs to receive an SSB for network pre-synchronization. However, due to the different relative positions of the SSB and the UE, the waiting time from receiving the SSB to listening to DCI2-6 differs from the waiting time from receiving the SSB to CDRX onduation. If the distance from the pre-synchronized SSB to the WUS listening location is too long, the power consumption during the intermediate waiting time may offset the power savings of WUS itself, or even result in higher power consumption. If WUS listening continues during this time, it will severely impact the UE's power-saving performance.

[0031] To address the aforementioned issues, in the embodiments of this application, when the total power consumption of monitoring WUS exceeds the total power consumption of monitoring CDRX, the electronic device monitors CDRX and stops monitoring WUS. This effectively reduces the power consumption of the terminal device and improves power-saving performance.

[0032] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] One embodiment of this application provides a WUS monitoring method. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the implementation process of the WUS monitoring method proposed in this application embodiment. Figure 1 ,like Figure 2 As shown in the embodiments of this application, the method for a terminal device to implement WUS monitoring may include the following steps:

[0034] Step 101: If the total power consumption of WUS is greater than the total power consumption of CDRX, monitor CDRX and stop monitoring WUS.

[0035] In the embodiments of this application, the terminal device may monitor CDRX and stop monitoring WUS if the total power consumption of monitoring WUS is greater than the total power consumption of monitoring CDRX.

[0036] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the terminal device can be any electronic device with communication and storage functions, such as: tablet computer, mobile phone, e-reader, remote control, personal computer (PC), laptop computer, in-vehicle electronic device, smart TV, wearable electronic device, personal digital assistant (PDA), portable media player (PMP), navigation device, and other electronic devices and electronic equipment.

[0037] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the total power consumption of listening to WUS includes the power consumption of waiting to listen to WUS based on the reception start of the first SSB, and the power consumption of performing listening to WUS.

[0038] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the first SSB refers to the SSB used for WUS monitoring. That is, before monitoring WUS, the terminal device can perform pre-synchronization based on the first SSB.

[0039] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the power consumption of waiting to listen to WUS after receiving the first SSB refers to the power consumption of the terminal device waiting to listen to WUS after receiving the first SSB, that is, the power consumption generated by the terminal device from the time it receives the first SSB to the time it starts waiting to listen to WUS.

[0040] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, the terminal device can obtain the first waiting distance based on the relative distance between the end time domain position of the first SSB and the start time domain position of the WUS after the first SSB; and then determine the power consumption of the waiting WUS based on the first waiting distance, or the first waiting distance can be directly used to characterize the power consumption of the waiting WUS.

[0041] In other words, in the embodiments of this application, the first waiting distance can be the waiting time between the terminal device receiving the first SSB and the starting time domain position of listening to the WUS.

[0042] For example, in the embodiments of this application, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the implementation of the WUS monitoring method proposed in the embodiments of this application. Figure 1 ,like Figure 3 As shown, the waiting time between the terminal device receiving the first SSB and the starting time domain position of the WUS is the first waiting distance; in other words, the relative distance between the ending time domain position of the first SSB and the starting time domain position of the WUS is the first waiting distance.

[0043] In some embodiments of this application, the terminal device can determine the power consumption of waiting to listen to WUS based on the relative distance between the end time domain position of the first SSB and the start time domain position of WUS; and obtain the total power consumption of listening to WUS based on the power consumption of waiting to listen to WUS and the power consumption of performing listening to WUS.

[0044] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, the terminal device can determine the power consumption for waiting to listen to WUS based on the first waiting distance.

[0045] Specifically, in the embodiments of this application, the terminal device can determine the power consumption of the waiting-to-listen-to-WUS based on the first waiting distance and the power of the waiting-to-listen-to-WUS.

[0046] Specifically, in the embodiments of this application, the terminal device can directly use the first waiting distance to characterize the power consumption of waiting to listen to WUS.

[0047] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, the terminal device can determine the power consumption of performing the listening WUS based on the start time domain position and the end time domain position of the WUS.

[0048] Specifically, in the embodiments of this application, the terminal device can determine the power consumption of performing the WUS monitoring based on the relative distance between the start time domain position and the end time domain position of the WUS, and the power of performing the WUS monitoring.

[0049] Specifically, in the embodiments of this application, the terminal device can directly use the relative distance between the start time domain position and the end time domain position of the WUS to characterize the power consumption of performing the WUS monitoring.

[0050] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, the terminal device can determine the total power consumption of monitoring WUS based on a first waiting distance, the power of waiting to monitor WUS, the relative distance between the start time domain position and the end time domain position of WUS, and the power of performing monitoring WUS.

[0051] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, the terminal device can directly use the first distance to characterize the total power consumption of monitoring WUS; wherein, the first distance is the relative distance between the end domain position of the first SSB and the end domain position of the WUS after the first SSB.

[0052] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the total power consumption of monitoring CDRX includes the power consumption of waiting to monitor CDRX based on the start of reception of the second SSB, and the power consumption during the activation period of CDRX.

[0053] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the second SSB refers to the SSB used for CDRX. That is, before the terminal device listens to CDRX, it can first perform pre-synchronization based on the second SSB.

[0054] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the power consumption of waiting to listen to CDRX after receiving the second SSB refers to the power consumption of the terminal device waiting to listen to CDRX after receiving the second SSB, that is, the power consumption generated by the terminal device waiting to listen to CDRX after receiving the second SSB.

[0055] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, the terminal device can obtain the second waiting distance based on the relative distance between the end domain position of the second SSB and the start time domain position of the CDRX activation period (On Duration) after the second SSB; and then determine the power consumption of the waiting CDRX based on the second waiting distance, or the second waiting distance can be directly used to characterize the power consumption of the waiting WUS.

[0056] In other words, in the embodiments of this application, the second waiting distance can be the waiting time from when the terminal device receives the second SSB to when the CDRX activation period begins.

[0057] For example, in the embodiments of this application, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the implementation of the WUS monitoring method proposed in the embodiments of this application. Figure 2 ,like Figure 4As shown, the waiting time from the time the terminal device receives the second SSB to the start of the CDRX activation period is the second waiting distance; in other words, the relative distance between the end domain position of the second SSB and the start domain position of the CDRX activation period is the second waiting distance.

[0058] In some embodiments of this application, the terminal device can determine the power consumption of the waiting CDRX based on the relative distance between the end domain position of the second SSB and the start time domain position of the CDRX activation period; and obtain the total power consumption of the listening CDRX based on the power consumption of the waiting CDRX and the power consumption of the CDRX activation period.

[0059] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, the terminal device can determine the power consumption of the CDRX being monitored based on the second waiting distance.

[0060] Specifically, in the embodiments of this application, the terminal device can determine the power consumption of the CDRX to be monitored based on the second waiting distance and the power of the CDRX to be monitored.

[0061] Specifically, in the embodiments of this application, the terminal device can directly use the second waiting distance to characterize the power consumption of waiting to listen to CDRX.

[0062] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, the terminal device can determine the power consumption of the CDRX activation period based on the start time domain position and the end time domain position of the CDRX activation period.

[0063] Specifically, in the embodiments of this application, the terminal device can determine the power consumption of CDRX during its activation period based on the relative distance between the start time domain position and the end time domain position of CDRX during its activation period, and the power of CDRX during its activation period.

[0064] Specifically, in the embodiments of this application, the terminal device can directly use the relative distance between the start time domain position and the end time domain position of the CDRX activation period to characterize the power consumption of the CDRX activation period.

[0065] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, the terminal device can determine the total power consumption of the monitored CDRX based on the second waiting distance, the power of the waiting monitored CDRX, the relative distance between the start time domain position and the end time domain position of the CDRX activation period, and the power of the CDRX activation period.

[0066] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, the terminal device can directly use the second distance to characterize the total power consumption of the monitored CDRX; wherein, the second distance is the relative distance between the end domain position of the second SSB and the end domain position of the active period of the CDRX after the second SSB.

[0067] It is understood that in the embodiments of this application, the SSB can be used for pre-synchronization, that is, to realize pre-synchronization between the terminal device and the network device; for example, the SSB is a pre-synchronization SSB.

[0068] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the relative distance between the time domain position of the WUS monitoring and the time domain position of the CDRX activation period is determined by ps-Offset-r16, which is usually 0-15ms; therefore, the relative distance between the SSBs configured in the same period and the two is different; that is, the first waiting distance between the first SSB and the WUS is different from the second waiting distance between the second SSB and the CDRX.

[0069] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, the terminal device listens to WUS when the total power consumption of listening to WUS is less than or equal to the total power consumption of listening to CDRX.

[0070] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, when the terminal device determines that it is listening to WUS, it means that under the current network configuration, listening to WUS is beneficial to saving the power consumption of the terminal device and improving the power saving performance of the terminal.

[0071] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, if the terminal device determines that it is listening to WUS, it can receive DCI2-6.

[0072] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, DCI2-6 (DCI format 2-6) can be used to notify one or more UEs of power-saving information outside of the DRX activity time; when the terminal device is configured with WUS, the terminal device can determine whether it needs to wake up CDRX and enter the CDRX activation period by receiving DCI2-6 and the information cell indication in DCI2-6 before CDRX wake-up.

[0073] It is understood that in the embodiments of this application, if the terminal device determines that it is not listening to WUS, it will not receive DCI2-6.

[0074] It should be noted that in the embodiments of this application, under different network configurations, the total power consumption of the terminal device listening to WUS may be greater than the total power consumption of CDRX. The terminal device can flexibly determine, based on the current network configuration, that if listening to WUS would lead to an increase in power consumption, then it can skip the part of listening to WUS and restore the CDRX state.

[0075] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, since the power consumption changes in the total power consumption of monitoring WUS and the total power consumption of monitoring CDRX are mainly affected by the first waiting distance and the second waiting distance, the terminal device can also directly determine whether to monitor WUS based on the first waiting distance and the second waiting distance.

[0076] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, the terminal device can determine the power consumption of waiting to monitor WUS based on a first waiting distance; determine the power consumption of waiting to monitor CDRX based on a second waiting distance; if the power consumption of waiting to monitor WUS is less than or equal to the power consumption of waiting to monitor CDRX, then it is determined that WUS is being monitored and DCI2-6 is received.

[0077] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, the terminal device may first determine the power consumption of waiting to listen to WUS based on the first waiting distance; determine the power consumption of executing to listen to WUS based on the start time domain position and the end time domain position of WUS; and thus determine the total power consumption of listening to WUS based on the power consumption of waiting to listen to WUS and the power consumption of executing to listen to WUS.

[0078] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, the terminal device can first determine the power consumption of the waiting CDRX based on the second waiting distance; determine the power consumption of the CDRX activation period based on the start time domain position and end time domain position of the CDRX activation period; and thus determine the total power consumption of the CDRX being monitored based on the power consumption of the waiting CDRX and the power consumption of the CDRX activation period.

[0079] In the embodiments of this application, since monitoring WUS only requires monitoring DCI2-6, the wake-up time of WUS is very short; while the wake-up time allowed during the CDRX activation period is a minimum of 1ms and a maximum of 1600ms, with common network configurations including 5ms, 8ms, and 10ms; therefore, the power consumption of performing WUS monitoring is less than the power consumption during the CDRX activation period.

[0080] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, the total power consumption of the listening WUS may also include the power consumption for waking up the WUS, the power consumption for receiving the first SSB, and the power consumption for the WUS to enter sleep mode.

[0081] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, the total power consumption of monitoring CDRX may also include the power consumption of waking up CDRX, the power consumption of receiving the second SSB, and the power consumption of CDRX entering sleep mode.

[0082] In other words, in the embodiments of this application, the total power consumption of WUS includes, in addition to the power consumption of waiting to listen to WUS and the power consumption of performing WUS listening, the power consumption of waking up WUS, the power consumption of receiving SSB, and the power consumption of WUS entering sleep mode. Similarly, the total power consumption of CDRX includes, in addition to the power consumption of waiting to listen to CDRX and the power consumption of CDRX during its active period, the power consumption of waking up CDRX, the power consumption of receiving SSB, and the power consumption of CDRX entering sleep mode.

[0083] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, although the total power consumption of monitoring WUS includes the power consumption of waking up WUS, the power consumption of receiving the first SSB, and the power consumption of WUS entering the sleep period, and the total power consumption of monitoring CDRX includes the power consumption of waking up CDRX, the power consumption of receiving the second SSB, and the power consumption of CDRX entering the sleep period, these two power consumptions are basically the same for WUS and CDRX. That is, the power consumption of waking up WUS, receiving the first SSB, and WUS entering the sleep period is basically the same as the power consumption of waking up CDRX, receiving the second SSB, and CDRX entering the sleep period. Therefore, when the terminal device determines whether to monitor WUS, it can make the judgment based solely on the power consumption of waiting to monitor WUS, the power consumption of performing WUS monitoring, the power consumption of waiting to monitor CDRX, and the power consumption during the CDRX activation period, which have differences.

[0084] For example, in the embodiments of this application, Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the implementation of the WUS monitoring method proposed in the embodiments of this application. Figure 3 ,like Figure 5 As shown, the total power consumption of WUS monitoring consists of the power consumption of waiting to monitor WUS and the power consumption of executing WUS monitoring. The total power consumption of CDRX monitoring consists of the power consumption of waiting to monitor CDRX and the power consumption during CDRX activation. The total power consumption of WUS monitoring is P1, and the total power consumption of CDRX monitoring is P2. The terminal device can determine whether to monitor WUS by comparing the values ​​of P1 and P2. If P1 is greater than P2, WUS monitoring is not performed, and the normal CDRX process is carried out. That is, under the current network configuration, WUS monitoring will actually increase the power consumption of the terminal device. However, if P1 is less than P2, WUS monitoring is performed, which is more conducive to reducing the power consumption of the terminal device, thereby improving the power saving performance of the terminal device.

[0085] Furthermore, in embodiments of this application, the terminal device can calculate the total power consumption of monitoring the WUS and the total power consumption of monitoring the CDRX based on the network configuration of SSB, WUS, and CDRX. In another possible implementation, the terminal device can also directly compare a first distance corresponding to the total power consumption of monitoring the WUS with a second distance corresponding to the total power consumption of monitoring the CDRX to determine the relative magnitude relationship between the total power consumption of monitoring the WUS and the total power consumption of monitoring the CDRX.

[0086] In some embodiments of this application, the terminal device can obtain a first distance based on the relative distance between the end domain position of the first SSB and the end domain position of the WUS after the first SSB, and obtain a second distance based on the relative distance between the end domain position of the second SSB and the end domain position of the active period of the CDRX after the second SSB; if the first distance is less than or equal to the second distance, it means that the total power consumption of monitoring the WUS is less than or equal to the total power consumption of monitoring the CDRX, and the terminal device can monitor the WUS.

[0087] It is understood that, in the embodiments of this application, the relative magnitude relationship between the first distance and the second distance is used to characterize the relative magnitude relationship between the total power consumption of the monitoring WUS and the total power consumption of the monitoring CDRX.

[0088] Furthermore, in embodiments of this application, the terminal device can also directly determine whether to listen to WUS by comparing the first waiting distance and the second waiting distance; in some embodiments of this application, if the first waiting distance is less than or equal to the second waiting distance, it is determined that WUS is being listened to and DCI2-6 is being received; if the first waiting distance is greater than the second waiting distance, it is determined that WUS is not being listened to.

[0089] It is understood that, in the embodiments of this application, the relative magnitude of the first waiting distance being less than or equal to the second waiting distance is used to characterize that the total power consumption of the monitoring WUS is less than or equal to the total power consumption of the monitoring CDRX.

[0090] For example, in an embodiment of this application, the second SSB is very close to the start time domain position of CDRX activation period, which is 3ms, that is, the second waiting distance is 3ms; while the first SSB is very far from the start time domain position of WUS, which is greater than 20ms, that is, the first waiting distance is greater than 20ms. In this case, only by not listening to WUS can the power consumption be optimized, so it is determined that WUS should not be listened to.

[0091] Furthermore, in embodiments of this application, the method by which the terminal device determines the first waiting distance between the first SSB and the WUS may include the following steps:

[0092] Step 201: Determine the end time domain position of the first SSB and the start time domain position of the WUS after the first SSB.

[0093] In some embodiments of this application, the terminal device determines a first waiting distance between the SSB and the WUS; in some embodiments of this application, the terminal device may first determine the end time domain position of the first SSB and the start time domain position of the WUS after the first SSB.

[0094] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the first SSB refers to the SSB used for WUS monitoring; the end domain position of the first SSB is the time domain position at which the terminal device completes the reception of the first SSB.

[0095] It is understood that, in the embodiments of this application, the terminal device may be in an active mode when the first SSB arrives, and receive the first SSB in the active mode.

[0096] It is also understood that, in the embodiments of this application, the starting time domain position of WUS is the time domain position of the listening WUS.

[0097] Step 202: Determine the first waiting distance based on the end time domain position of the first SSB and the start time domain position of the WUS.

[0098] In the embodiments of this application, after determining the end time domain position of the first SSB and the start time domain position of the WUS after the first SSB, the terminal device can determine the first waiting distance based on the end time domain position of the first SSB and the start time domain position of the WUS.

[0099] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the relative distance between the end time domain position of the first SSB and the start time domain position of the WUS is the first waiting distance.

[0100] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, the first waiting distance can be the waiting time from when the terminal device receives the first SSB to when it starts listening to the WUS in the starting time domain.

[0101] Furthermore, in embodiments of this application, the method for the terminal device to determine the second waiting distance between the second SSB and CDRX may include the following steps:

[0102] Step 301: Determine the end domain position of the second SSB and the start time domain position of the activation period of CDRX after the second SSB.

[0103] In embodiments of this application, the terminal device determines a second waiting distance between the SSB and the CDRX; in some embodiments of this application, the terminal device may first determine the end time domain position of the second SSB and the start time domain position of the activation period of the CDRX after the second SSB.

[0104] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the second SSB refers to the SSB used for CDRX; the end domain position of the second SSB is the time domain position when the terminal device completes the reception of the second SSB.

[0105] It is understood that, in the embodiments of this application, the terminal device may be in an active mode when the second SSB arrives, and receive the second SSB in the active mode.

[0106] It is also understood that, in the embodiments of this application, the starting time domain position of the CDRX activation period is the time domain position at which the CDRX activation period begins.

[0107] Step 302: Determine the second waiting distance based on the end domain position of the second SSB and the start time domain position of the CDRX activation period.

[0108] In the embodiments of this application, after determining the end domain position of the second SSB corresponding to the second SSB and the start time domain position of the activation period of the CDRX after the second SSB, the terminal device can determine the second waiting distance based on the end domain position of the second SSB and the start time domain position of the activation period of the CDRX.

[0109] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the relative distance between the end domain position of the second SSB and the start time domain position of the CDRX activation period is the second waiting distance.

[0110] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, the second waiting distance can be the waiting time from when the terminal device receives the second SSB until the CDRX activation period begins.

[0111] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, the method for a terminal device to implement WUS monitoring may further include the following steps:

[0112] Step 401: Obtain the first distance based on the relative distance between the end domain position of the first SSB and the end domain position of WUS, and obtain the second distance based on the relative distance between the end domain position of the second SSB and the end domain position of the active period of CDRX.

[0113] In embodiments of this application, the terminal device may first obtain a first distance based on the relative distance between the end domain position of the first SSB and the end domain position of the WUS, and then obtain a second distance based on the relative distance between the end domain position of the second SSB and the end domain position of the active period of the CDRX.

[0114] For example, in the embodiments of this application, Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the implementation of the WUS monitoring method proposed in the embodiments of this application. Figure 4 ,like Figure 6 As shown, the end domain position of WUS is the time domain position at which WUS is monitored.

[0115] For example, in the embodiments of this application, Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the implementation of the WUS monitoring method proposed in the embodiments of this application. Figure 5 ,like Figure 7 As shown, the domain position at the end of the activation period of CDRX is the time domain position at the end of the activation period of CDRX.

[0116] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the first distance is the relative distance between the end-of-term domain position of the first SSB and the end-of-term domain position of the WUS.

[0117] It is understood that, in the embodiments of this application, the period from the start time domain position corresponding to WUS to the end time domain position corresponding to WUS is the WUS listening process; the first distance can be equal to the sum of the first waiting distance and the WUS listening process.

[0118] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, the terminal device can obtain the power consumption of performing WUS listening based on the WUS listening process.

[0119] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the second distance is the relative distance between the end-of-term domain position of the second SSB and the end-of-term domain position of the CDRX activation period.

[0120] It is understood that, in the embodiments of this application, the period from the start time domain position of the CDRX activation period to the end time domain position of the CDRX activation period is the CDRX activation period; the second distance can be equal to the sum of the second waiting distance and the CDRX activation period.

[0121] Step 402: If the first distance is less than or equal to the second distance, then listen to WUS.

[0122] In the embodiments of this application, after the terminal device obtains a first distance based on the relative distance between the end domain position of the first SSB and the end domain position of the WUS, and obtains a second distance based on the relative distance between the end domain position of the second SSB and the end domain position of the active period of the CDRX, if the first distance is less than or equal to the second distance, it listens to the WUS.

[0123] It is understood that in the embodiments of this application, the first distance corresponds to the total power consumption of monitoring WUS, and the second distance corresponds to the total power consumption of monitoring CDRX. Therefore, correspondingly, when determining whether to monitor WUS based on the first distance and the second distance, if the first distance is less than or equal to the second distance, it is determined that WUS is being monitored and DCI2-6 is received.

[0124] For example, in the embodiments of this application, the first distance is 11ms and the second distance is 28ms. Since the first distance is less than the second distance, the terminal device can determine that it is listening to WUS and receiving DCI2-6.

[0125] It is understood that, in the embodiments of this application, after the terminal device determines the first distance based on the end domain position of the first SSB and the end domain position of the WUS, and determines the second distance based on the end domain position of the second SSB and the end domain position of the CDRX activation period, if the first distance is greater than the second distance, it determines that it will not listen to the WUS and will not receive DCI2-6.

[0126] For example, in an embodiment of this application, the first distance is 31ms and the second distance is 15ms. Since the first distance is greater than the second distance, it is determined that WUS will not be monitored and DCI2-6 will not be received.

[0127] This application provides a WUS monitoring method. When the total power consumption of monitoring WUS is greater than the total power consumption of monitoring CDRX, the terminal device monitors CDRX and stops monitoring WUS. Therefore, in this application, even if the terminal is configured with WUS, it does not monitor WUS in every scenario. Instead, based on the current network configuration, it determines whether WUS monitoring is necessary by comparing the total power consumption of monitoring WUS with that of monitoring CDRX. If the total power consumption of monitoring WUS is greater than that of monitoring CDRX, it is determined that under the current network configuration, WUS monitoring is not conducive to reducing the terminal device's power consumption. In this case, CDRX is executed instead of WUS monitoring, thereby effectively reducing the terminal device's power consumption and improving power-saving performance.

[0128] Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment of this application... Figure 8 A schematic diagram of the implementation process of the WUS monitoring method proposed in this application embodiment. Figure 2 ,like Figure 8 As shown, the network device is configured with CDRX (step 501), and then the terminal device determines whether WUS is configured (step 502). If the terminal device determines that WUS is configured, it calculates the total power consumption P1 for listening to WUS and the total power consumption P2 for listening to CDRX based on the network parameters (step 503), and then determines whether P1 is greater than P2 (step 504). If P1 is greater than P2, it does not listen to WUS (step 505), that is, it does not receive or listen to DCI2-6. If P1 is less than or equal to P2, it listens to WUS (step 506), that is, it listens to or receives DCI2-6. In addition, after the terminal device determines whether WUS is configured, i.e., step 502, if the terminal device determines that WUS is not configured, the terminal device can also directly determine not to listen to WUS (step 506).

[0129] In the embodiments of this application, if the terminal device determines that the total power consumption of monitoring WUS is greater than the total power consumption of monitoring CDRX, it monitors CDRX and stops monitoring WUS.

[0130] In the embodiments of this application, the total power consumption of listening to WUS includes the power consumption of waiting to listen to WUS based on the reception start of the first SSB, and the power consumption of performing listening to WUS.

[0131] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the first SSB refers to the SSB used for WUS monitoring.

[0132] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, the power consumption of waiting to listen to WUS after receiving the first SSB refers to the power consumption of the terminal device waiting to listen to WUS after receiving the first SSB, that is, the power consumption generated by the terminal device from the time it receives the first SSB to the time it starts waiting to listen to WUS.

[0133] Furthermore, in embodiments of this application, the terminal device can obtain a first waiting distance based on the relative distance between the end time domain position of the first SSB and the start time domain position of the WUS; and then determine the power consumption for waiting to monitor the WUS based on the first waiting distance.

[0134] In other words, in the embodiments of this application, the first waiting distance can be the waiting time between the terminal device receiving the first SSB and the starting time domain position of listening to the WUS.

[0135] For example, in the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the waiting time between the terminal device receiving the first SSB and the starting time domain position of the WUS is the first waiting distance; in other words, the relative distance between the ending time domain position of the first SSB and the starting time domain position of the WUS is the first waiting distance.

[0136] In some embodiments of this application, the terminal device can determine the power consumption of waiting to listen to WUS based on the relative distance between the end time domain position of the first SSB and the start time domain position of WUS; and obtain the total power consumption of listening to WUS based on the power consumption of waiting to listen to WUS and the power consumption of performing listening to WUS.

[0137] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, the terminal device can determine the power consumption of performing the listening WUS based on the start time domain position and the end time domain position of the WUS.

[0138] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the total power consumption of monitoring CDRX includes the power consumption of waiting to monitor CDRX based on the start of reception of the second SSB, and the power consumption during the activation period of CDRX.

[0139] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the second SSB refers to the SSB used for CDRX.

[0140] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the power consumption of waiting to listen to CDRX after receiving the second SSB refers to the power consumption of the terminal device waiting to listen to CDRX after receiving the second SSB, that is, the power consumption generated by the terminal device waiting to listen to CDRX after receiving the second SSB.

[0141] Furthermore, in embodiments of this application, the terminal device can obtain a second waiting distance based on the relative distance between the end domain position of the second SSB and the start time domain position of the CDRX's on Duration; and then determine the power consumption of waiting to monitor the CDRX based on the second waiting distance.

[0142] In other words, in the embodiments of this application, the second waiting distance can be the waiting time from when the terminal device receives the second SSB to when the CDRX activation period begins.

[0143] For example, in the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the waiting time from the time the terminal device receives the second SSB to the start of the CDRX activation period is the second waiting distance; in other words, the relative distance between the end domain position of the second SSB and the start domain position of the CDRX activation period is the second waiting distance.

[0144] In some embodiments of this application, the terminal device can determine the power consumption of the waiting CDRX based on the relative distance between the end domain position of the second SSB and the start time domain position of the CDRX activation period; and obtain the power consumption of the listening CDRX based on the power consumption of the waiting CDRX and the power consumption of the CDRX activation period.

[0145] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, the terminal device can determine the power consumption of the CDRX activation period based on the start time domain position and the end time domain position of the CDRX activation period.

[0146] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the relative distance between the time domain position of the WUS monitoring and the time domain position of the CDRX activation period is determined by ps-Offset-r16, which is usually 0-15ms; therefore, the relative distance between the SSB and the two is different; that is, the first waiting distance between the first SSB and the WUS is different from the second waiting distance between the second SSB and the CDRX.

[0147] It is understood that in the embodiments of this application, when the terminal device determines that it is listening to WUS based on the first waiting distance and the second waiting distance, it indicates that under the current network configuration, listening to WUS is beneficial to saving the power consumption of the terminal device and improving the power saving performance of the terminal.

[0148] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, DCI2-6 (DCI format 2-6) can be used to notify one or more UEs of power-saving information outside of the DRX activity time; when the terminal device is configured with WUS, the terminal device can determine whether it needs to wake up CDRX and enter the CDRX activation period by receiving DCI2-6 and the information cell indication in DCI2-6 before CDRX wake-up.

[0149] It is understood that in the embodiments of this application, if the terminal device determines that it is not listening to WUS, it will not receive DCI2-6.

[0150] It should be noted that in the embodiments of this application, since monitoring WUS only requires monitoring DCI2-6, the wake-up time of WUS is very short; while the wake-up time allowed during the CDRX activation period is a minimum of 1ms and a maximum of 1600ms, with common network configurations including 5ms, 8ms, and 10ms; therefore, the power consumption of performing WUS monitoring is less than the power consumption during the CDRX activation period.

[0151] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, the total power consumption of monitoring WUS may also include the power consumption of waking up WUS, the power consumption of receiving the first SSB, and the power consumption of WUS entering the sleep period. The total power consumption of monitoring CDRX may also include the power consumption of waking up CDRX, the power consumption of receiving the second SSB, and the power consumption of CDRX entering the sleep period. However, for WUS and CDRX, these two power consumptions are basically the same, that is, the power consumption of waking up WUS, the power consumption of receiving the first SSB, and the power consumption of WUS entering the sleep period are basically the same as the power consumption of waking up CDRX, the power consumption of receiving the second SSB, and the power consumption of CDRX entering the sleep period. Therefore, when the terminal device determines whether to monitor WUS, it can make the judgment based solely on the power consumption of waiting to monitor WUS, the power consumption of performing WUS monitoring, the power consumption of waiting to monitor CDRX, and the power consumption during the CDRX activation period, which have differences.

[0152] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, in addition to comparing the total power consumption of monitoring WUS with the total power consumption of monitoring CDRX to determine whether WUS is being monitored, the terminal device can also directly compare the first distance corresponding to the total power consumption of monitoring WUS with the second distance corresponding to the total power consumption of monitoring CDRX to determine whether WUS is being monitored.

[0153] In some embodiments of this application, the terminal device can obtain a first distance based on the relative distance between the end domain position of the first SSB and the end domain position of the WUS, and obtain a second distance based on the relative distance between the end domain position of the second SSB and the end domain position of the active period of the CDRX; if the first distance is less than or equal to the second distance, then the WUS is monitored.

[0154] For example, in the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 7 As shown, the domain position at the end of WUS is the time domain position at which WUS ends; as Figure 8 As shown, the domain position at the end of the activation period of CDRX is the time domain position at which the activation period of CDRX ends.

[0155] In other words, in the embodiments of this application, the first distance is the relative distance between the end domain position of the first SSB and the end domain position of the WUS; and, since the period from the start domain position of the WUS to the end domain position of the WUS is the listening process of the WUS, the first distance can be equal to the sum of the first waiting distance and the listening process of the WUS.

[0156] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, the second distance is the distance between the end domain position of the second SSB and the end domain position of the activation period of CDRX; and, since the period from the start time domain position of the activation period of CDRX to the end domain position of the activation period of CDRX is the activation period corresponding to CDRX, the second distance can be equal to the sum of the second waiting distance and the activation period corresponding to CDRX.

[0157] It is understood that in the embodiments of this application, the first distance corresponds to the total power consumption of monitoring WUS, and the second distance corresponds to the total power consumption of monitoring CDRX. Therefore, correspondingly, when determining whether to monitor WUS based on the first distance and the second distance, if the first distance is less than or equal to the second distance, then WUS is monitored and DCI2-6 is received.

[0158] For example, in an embodiment of this application, the first distance is 15ms and the second distance is 40ms. Since the first distance is less than the second distance, the terminal device can listen to WUS and receive DCI2-6.

[0159] It is understood that in the embodiments of this application, if the first distance is greater than the second distance, it is determined that WUS will not be monitored and DCI2-6 will not be received.

[0160] For example, in an embodiment of this application, the first distance is 35ms and the second distance is 11ms. Since the first distance is greater than the second distance, it is determined that WUS will not be monitored and DCI2-6 will not be received.

[0161] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, the terminal device can determine the power consumption of waiting to monitor WUS based on the first waiting distance; determine the power consumption of waiting to monitor CDRX based on the second waiting distance; if the power consumption of waiting to monitor WUS is less than or equal to the power consumption of waiting to monitor CDRX, then it is determined that WUS is being monitored and DCI2-6 is received.

[0162] Furthermore, in embodiments of this application, the terminal device may also determine whether to listen to WUS by comparing the first waiting distance and the second waiting distance; in some embodiments of this application, if the first waiting distance is less than or equal to the second waiting distance, then listen to WUS and receive DCI2-6; if the first waiting distance is greater than the second waiting distance, then determine not to listen to WUS.

[0163] For example, in an embodiment of this application, the second SSB is very close to the start time domain position of CDRX activation period, which is 3ms, that is, the second waiting distance is 3ms; while the first SSB is very far from the start time domain position of WUS, which is greater than 20ms, that is, the first waiting distance is greater than 20ms. In this case, only by not listening to WUS can the power consumption be optimized, so it is determined that WUS should not be listened to.

[0164] In summary, in the embodiments of this application, under different network configurations, after the network device configures WUS for the terminal device, the relative distance between the SSB and WUS, as well as the relative distance between the SSB and CDRX, changes due to the change in the time domain position of the SSB. Therefore, under different network configurations, there is a problem that listening to WUS not only does not save the terminal device's power, but also increases the terminal device's power consumption. This application avoids the problem of increased power consumption caused by listening to WUS by flexibly selecting whether to listen to WUS under the current network configuration.

[0165] This application provides a WUS (Wireless Internet Security) monitoring method. When the total power consumption of monitoring WUS is greater than the total power consumption of monitoring CDRX (Content Detection and Reduction), the terminal device monitors CDRX and stops monitoring WUS. Therefore, in this application, even if the terminal is configured with WUS, it does not monitor WUS in every scenario. Instead, based on the current network configuration, it determines whether WUS monitoring is necessary by comparing the total power consumption of monitoring WUS with that of monitoring CDRX. If it is determined that the total power consumption of monitoring WUS is greater than that of monitoring CDRX, i.e., under the current network configuration, monitoring WUS is not conducive to reducing the terminal device's power consumption, then CDRX is executed, and WUS monitoring is not performed. This effectively reduces the terminal device's power consumption and improves power-saving performance.

[0166] Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment of this application... Figure 9 Schematic diagram of the composition structure of the terminal device Figure 1 ,like Figure 9 As shown, the terminal device 10 proposed in this application embodiment may include: a listening unit 11.

[0167] The monitoring unit 11 is used to monitor the CDRX and stop monitoring the WUS when the total power consumption of monitoring WUS is greater than the total power consumption of monitoring CDRX.

[0168] Furthermore, the monitoring unit 11 is also configured to monitor the WUS when the total power consumption of the WUS being monitored is less than or equal to the total power consumption of the CDRX being monitored.

[0169] Furthermore, the total power consumption of the WUS monitoring includes the power consumption for waiting to monitor the WUS based on the reception start of the first SSB, and the power consumption for performing the monitoring of the WUS.

[0170] Furthermore, the monitoring unit 11 is also configured to determine the power consumption of the WUS to be monitored based on the relative distance between the end time domain position of the first SSB and the start time domain position of the WUS; and to obtain the total power consumption of the monitored WUS based on the power consumption of the WUS to be monitored and the power consumption of the monitored WUS.

[0171] Furthermore, the monitoring unit 11 is also used to determine the power consumption of performing monitoring of the WUS based on the start time domain position of the WUS and the end time domain position of the WUS.

[0172] Furthermore, the total power consumption of the monitored CDRX includes the power consumption during the reception start waiting period of the CDRX based on the second SSB, and the power consumption during the activation period of the CDRX.

[0173] Furthermore, the monitoring unit 11 is also configured to determine the power consumption of the CDRX to be monitored based on the relative distance between the end domain position of the second SSB and the start time domain position of the CDRX activation period; and to obtain the total power consumption of the monitored CDRX based on the power consumption of the CDRX to be monitored and the power consumption of the CDRX activation period.

[0174] Furthermore, the monitoring unit 11 is also used to determine the power consumption of performing monitoring of the WUS based on the start time domain position of the WUS and the end time domain position of the WUS.

[0175] Furthermore, the monitoring unit 11 is also used to determine the power consumption of the CDRX activation period based on the start time domain position and the end time domain position of the CDRX activation period.

[0176] Furthermore, the relative distance between the end-of-term domain position of the first SSB and the end-of-term domain position of the WUS following the first SSB is the first distance; the relative distance between the end-of-term domain position of the second SSB and the end-of-term domain position of the active period of the CDRX following the second SSB is the second distance; the relative magnitude relationship between the first distance and the second distance is used to characterize the relative magnitude relationship between the total power consumption of monitoring the WUS and the total power consumption of monitoring the CDRX.

[0177] Furthermore, the relative distance between the end domain position of the first SSB and the start time domain position of the WUS after the first SSB is the first waiting distance; the relative distance between the end domain position of the second SSB and the start time domain position of the activation period of the CDRX after the second SSB is the second waiting distance; the relative magnitude relationship of the first waiting distance being less than or equal to the second waiting distance is used to characterize that the total power consumption of monitoring the WUS is less than or equal to the total power consumption of monitoring the CDRX.

[0178] Furthermore, the total power consumption of the monitoring WUS also includes the power consumption for waking up the WUS, the power consumption for receiving the first SSB, and the power consumption for the WUS to enter the sleep period; the total power consumption of the monitoring CDRX also includes the power consumption for waking up the CDRX, the power consumption for receiving the second SSB, and the power consumption for the CDRX to enter the sleep period.

[0179] In the embodiments of this application, further, Figure 10 Schematic diagram of the composition structure of the terminal device Figure 2 ,like Figure 10 As shown, the terminal device 10 proposed in this application embodiment may further include a processor 12 and a memory 13 storing instructions executable by the processor 12; further, the terminal device 10 may further include a communication interface 14 and a bus 15 for connecting the processor 12, the memory 13 and the communication interface 14.

[0180] In the embodiments of this application, the processor 12 can be at least one of the following: Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), Digital Signal Processor (DSP), Digital Signal Processing Device (DSPD), Programmable Logic Device (PLD), Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), Central Processing Unit (CPU), Controller, Microcontroller, and Microprocessor. It is understood that for different devices, the electronic device used to implement the above-mentioned processor function can also be other types, and this application embodiment does not specifically limit this. The electronic device 10 may also include a memory 13, which can be connected to the processor 12. The memory 13 is used to store executable program code, which includes computer operation instructions. The memory 13 may include high-speed RAM memory and may also include non-volatile memory, such as at least two disk drives.

[0182] In embodiments of this application, memory 13 is used to store instructions and data.

[0183] Furthermore, in an embodiment of this application, the processor 12 is configured to monitor the CDRX and stop monitoring the WUS when the total power consumption of monitoring WUS is greater than the total power consumption of monitoring CDRX.

[0184] In practical applications, the aforementioned memory 13 can be volatile memory, such as random-access memory (RAM); or non-volatile memory, such as read-only memory (ROM), flash memory, hard disk drive (HDD), or solid-state drive (SSD); or a combination of the above types of memory, and provide instructions and data to the processor 12.

[0185] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the functional modules can be integrated into one processing unit, or each unit can exist physically separately, or two or more units can be integrated into one unit. The integrated unit can be implemented in hardware or as a software functional module.

[0186] If the integrated unit is implemented as a software functional module and is not sold or used as an independent product, it can be stored in a computer-readable storage medium.

[0187] This application provides a terminal device that, when the total power consumption of WUS monitoring is greater than the total power consumption of CDRX monitoring, monitors CDRX and stops monitoring WUS. Therefore, in this embodiment, even if the terminal is configured with WUS, it does not monitor WUS in all scenarios. Instead, based on the current network configuration, it determines whether WUS monitoring is necessary by comparing the total power consumption of WUS monitoring with that of CDRX monitoring. If the total power consumption of WUS monitoring is greater than that of CDRX monitoring, it is determined that under the current network configuration, WUS monitoring is not conducive to reducing the terminal device's power consumption. In this case, CDRX is executed, and WUS monitoring is not performed, thereby effectively reducing the terminal device's power consumption and improving power-saving performance.
