Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus and readable storage medium for transmitting configuration information. Background Technology

[0002] In 5G wireless communication systems, it is necessary to support extended reality (XR) service types. XR includes augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and cloud gaming. XR services are characterized by a fixed frame rate, meaning that the service data arrives at the user equipment (UE) at a fixed interval, but there will be additional latency jitter on top of this fixed interval.

[0003] To reduce UE power consumption during XR communication, the UE can be in different power-saving states. Furthermore, Release 17 (R17) of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) introduced the feature of physical downlink control channel skipping (PDCCH skipping). Based on PDCCH skipping, the base station can instruct the UE to skip PDCCH listening during a set period, further achieving power saving.

[0004] XR service data may arrive at the UE late due to latency jitter. Therefore, the UE in PDCCH listening state may wait for a period of time. During the waiting period, unnecessary blind PDCCH checks will be performed continuously, which will still result in wasted UE power consumption. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This disclosure provides a method, apparatus, and readable storage medium for transmitting configuration information.

[0006] In a first aspect, this disclosure provides a method for receiving configuration information, executed by a user equipment, the method comprising:

[0007] Receive configuration information, the configuration information including at least one set of low-power wake-up signal LP WUS monitoring configuration, the LP WUS monitoring configuration including start monitoring time offset and LP WUS monitoring period;

[0008] According to the above, at least one LP WUS listening configuration should be used to listen to LP WUS.

[0009] In the method disclosed herein, the user equipment (UE) learns the LP WUS listening configuration based on configuration information received from the network device. The UE can then use a low-power receiver to listen to LP WUS based on the LP WUS start listening time offset and the LP WUS listening period, so that it can listen to the PDCCH only after detecting LP WUS, thereby reducing unnecessary PDCCH blind detection and saving the UE's energy consumption.

[0010] In some possible implementations, the configuration information includes multiple sets of Low Power Wake-up Signal (LP WUS) monitoring configurations;

[0011] The multiple LP WUS monitoring configurations indicate the same LP WUS monitoring period, but the starting monitoring time offsets of the multiple LP WUS monitoring configurations are different.

[0012] In some possible implementations, the method further includes:

[0013] After detecting LP WUS, it transitions from sleep mode to working mode and starts listening to PDCCH.

[0014] In some possible implementations, the method further includes:

[0015] Receive the first message, which indicates to skip PDCCH monitoring;

[0016] Do not listen to PDCCH between the start of the skip PDCCH listening period and the start of the next LP WUS listening period.

[0017] In some possible implementations, the method further includes:

[0018] Receive second information, which is used to determine the duration of skipping PDCCH listening.

[0019] In some possible implementations, the method further includes:

[0020] When the duration determined according to the second information is indicated as numerical information, the PDCCH is not monitored between the end time of the skipped PDCCH monitoring and the start time of the next LP WUS monitoring cycle.

[0021] In some possible implementations, the method further includes:

[0022] If the duration determined according to the second information is indicated as non-numerical information, PDCCH will not be listened to between the start time of skipping PDCCH listening and the start time of the next LP WUS listening cycle.

[0023] Secondly, this disclosure provides a method for sending configuration information, executed by a network device, the method comprising:

[0024] Send configuration information to the user equipment, the configuration information including at least one set of low-power wake-up signal (LP WUS) monitoring configuration, the LP WUS monitoring configuration including start monitoring time offset and LP WUS monitoring period.

[0025] In the method disclosed herein, the network device instructs the user equipment (UE) on LP WUS listening configuration by sending configuration information. This allows the UE to use a low-power receiver to listen for LP WUS based on the LP WUS start listening time offset and LP WUS listening period, so that PDCCH listening can be performed only after LP WUS is detected, thereby reducing unnecessary PDCCH blind detection and saving power consumption of the UE.

[0026] In some possible implementations, the configuration information includes multiple sets of Low Power Wake-up Signal (LP WUS) monitoring configurations;

[0027] The multiple LP WUS monitoring configurations indicate the same LP WUS monitoring period, but the starting monitoring time offsets of the multiple LP WUS monitoring configurations are different.

[0028] In some possible implementations, the method further includes:

[0029] The first information is sent to the user equipment, indicating that PDCCH listening should be skipped.

[0030] In some possible implementations, the method further includes:

[0031] The second information is sent to the user equipment, the second information being used to determine the duration of skipping PDCCH listening.

[0032] Thirdly, this disclosure provides an apparatus for receiving configuration information, which can be used to perform the steps executed by a user equipment in the first aspect or any possible design of the first aspect. The user equipment can implement the functions of the methods described above through hardware structures, software modules, or a combination of hardware structures and software modules.

[0033] When the device shown in the third aspect is implemented by a software module, the device may include a transceiver module and a processing module coupled to each other. The transceiver module can be used to support the communication device to communicate, and the processing module can be used by the communication device to perform processing operations, such as generating information / messages to be sent, or processing received signals to obtain information / messages.

[0034] When performing the steps described in the first aspect above, the transceiver module is configured to receive configuration information, the configuration information including at least one set of low-power wake-up signal (LPWUS) listening configuration, the LPWUS listening configuration including a start listening time offset and an LPWUS listening period; the processing module is configured to listen to LPWUS according to the at least one set of LPWUS listening configuration.

[0035] Fourthly, this disclosure provides an apparatus for transmitting configuration information, which can be used to perform the steps executed by a network device in the second aspect or any possible design of the second aspect. The network device can implement the functions of the methods described above through hardware architecture, software modules, or a combination of hardware architecture and software modules.

[0036] When the apparatus shown in the fourth aspect is implemented by a software module, the apparatus may include a transceiver module, wherein the transceiver module can be used to support the communication apparatus in communicating.

[0061] Embodiments of this disclosure are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting this disclosure.

[0062] like Figure 1 As shown, the method for transmitting configuration information provided in this embodiment can be applied to a wireless communication system 100, which may include a user equipment 101 and a network device 102. The user equipment 101 is configured to support carrier aggregation and can be connected to multiple carrier units of the network device 102, including a primary carrier unit and one or more secondary carrier units.

[0063] It should be understood that the wireless communication system 100 described above is applicable to both low-frequency and high-frequency scenarios. Application scenarios for the wireless communication system 100 include, but are not limited to, long-term evolution (LTE) systems, LTE frequency division duplex (FDD) systems, LTE time division duplex (TDD) systems, worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) communication systems, cloud radio access network (CRAN) systems, future 5th-generation (5G) systems, new radio (NR) communication systems, or future evolved public land mobile network (PLMN) systems.

[0064] The user equipment 101 shown above can be a terminal, access terminal, terminal unit, terminal station, mobile station (MS), remote station, remote terminal, mobile terminal, wireless communication device, terminal agent, or terminal equipment, etc. This user equipment 101 may have wireless transceiver capabilities, enabling it to communicate (e.g., wirelessly) with one or more network devices in one or more communication systems and receive network services provided by the network devices. These network devices include, but are not limited to, the network device 103 shown in the figure.

[0065] User equipment 101 may be a cellular phone, cordless phone, session initiation protocol (SIP) phone, wireless local loop (WLL) station, personal digital assistant (PDA) device, handheld device with wireless communication capabilities, computing device or other processing device connected to a wireless modem, vehicle-mounted device, wearable device, terminal device in a future 5G network or terminal device in a future evolved PLMN network, etc.

[0066] Network device 102 can be an access network device (or access point). Access network device refers to equipment that provides network access functionality, such as a radio access network (RAN) base station. Network device 103 may specifically include a base station (BS), or a base station and radio resource management equipment for controlling the base station. Network device 102 may also include relay stations (relay equipment), access points, and base stations in future 5G networks, future PLMN networks, or NR base stations. Network device 102 can be a wearable device or an in-vehicle device. Network device 102 can also be a communication chip with a communication module.

[0067] For example, network equipment 102 includes, but is not limited to: next-generation base stations (gnodeB, gNB) in 5G, evolved node B (eNB) in LTE systems, radio network controllers (RNC), node B (NB) in WCDMA systems, radio controllers and base station controllers (BSC) in CRAN systems, base transceiver stations (BTS) in GSM or CDMA systems, home base stations (e.g., home evolved nodeB, or home node B, HNB), baseband units (BBU), transmitting and receiving points (TRP), transmitting points (TP), or mobile switching centers, etc.

[0068] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of XR service transmission. (For example...) Figure 2 As shown, during XR service data (XRBurst) transmission, the frame rate of transmitted data frames is F frames per second (FPS). Within each cycle (1 / F) of data frame transmission, for example, from the transmission of data packet k corresponding to video data frame K to the transmission of data packet (k+1) corresponding to video data frame (K+1), the jitter is within a set range. The jitter and the data packet size of the service data each follow a probability distribution.

[0069] Due to latency jitter in XR services, service data may arrive at user device 101 earlier or later.

[0070] In PDCCH skipping mode, network device 102 can instruct user equipment 101 to perform PDCCH skipping within a set time period while transmitting the current data frame. After the set time period, user equipment 101 wakes up to continue listening to the PDCCH. However, because service data may arrive at user equipment 101 delayed due to latency jitter, or because the set time period is limited, user equipment 101 needs to wait for a period of time after waking up before receiving the next data frame. Therefore, during the waiting time, user equipment 101 continuously performs unnecessary blind PDCCH checks, resulting in wasted energy consumption.

[0071] This disclosure provides a method for transmitting configuration information, referring to... Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a method for transmitting configuration information according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the method includes steps S301 to S303, specifically:

[0072] In step S301, network device 102 sends configuration information to user device 101. The configuration information includes at least one set of low-power wake-up signal (LP WUS) monitoring configuration. The LP WUS monitoring configuration includes the start monitoring time offset and the LP WUS monitoring period.

[0073] In step S302, user equipment 101 receives configuration information sent by network device 102. The configuration information includes at least one set of low-power wake-up signal (LP WUS) monitoring configuration. The LP WUS monitoring configuration includes the start monitoring time offset and the LP WUS monitoring period.

[0074] In step S303, user equipment 101 listens to LP WUS according to at least one LP WUS listening configuration.

[0075] In some possible implementations, a low-power wake-up signal (LPWUS) is a wake-up signal (WUS) that a user equipment 101 can receive in a sleep state.

[0076] In some possible implementations, in an LP WUS transmission scenario, user equipment 101 activates a low-power receiver specifically for receiving WUS signals transmitted by network device 102. The low-power receiver has very low power consumption, achieving energy savings. When network device 102 needs to send downlink data to user equipment 101, but user equipment 101 is in a sleep state, network device 102 needs to wake user equipment 101 using an LP WUS signal before scheduling downlink data transmission for user equipment 101.

[0077] In one example, after receiving a wake-up signal on the low-power receiver, user equipment 101 can determine to turn on the host, transition from a sleep state to an active state for normal operation, and listen to the PDCCH.

[0078] In some possible implementations, the hibernation states of user equipment 101 include: deep sleep, light sleep, and micro sleep. User equipment 101 can effectively save energy when in hibernation state. In the micro sleep state, user equipment 101 is in its lightest sleep state, and can quickly transition from light sleep to the active state for normal operation; the transition time is very short and negligible.

[0079] In one example, user device 101 is in micro sleep mode while listening to LP WUS.

[0080] In some possible implementations, after network device 102 sends each XR service data frame, it may instruct user equipment 101 to perform a PDCCH skipping period. After sending the frame data, configuration information is sent to user equipment 101 to enable user equipment 101 to listen for LP WUS.

[0081] In one example, network device 102 may indicate a time period X for PDCCH skipping in the Downlink Control Information (DCI). During time period X, user equipment 101 may skip listening to the PDCCH and enter a sleep state.

[0082] In one example, network device 102 configures the number of X periods via higher-layer signaling. For example, it configures two X periods.

[0083] In this embodiment of the disclosure, network device 102 instructs user equipment 101 on LP WUS monitoring configuration by sending configuration information. User equipment 101 can use a low-power receiver to monitor LP WUS based on the LP WUS start monitoring time offset and LP WUS monitoring period, so as to monitor PDCCH only after LP WUS is detected, thereby reducing unnecessary PDCCH blind detection and saving power consumption of user equipment.

[0084] This disclosure provides a method for receiving configuration information, which is executed by user equipment 101. (Refer to...) Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a method for receiving configuration information according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the method includes steps S401 to S402, specifically:

[0085] In step S401, user equipment 101 receives configuration information sent by network device 102. The configuration information includes at least one set of low-power wake-up signal (LP WUS) monitoring configuration. The LP WUS monitoring configuration includes the start monitoring time offset and the LP WUS monitoring period.

[0086] In step S402, user equipment 101 listens to LP WUS according to at least one LP WUS listening configuration.

[0087] In some possible implementations, user equipment 101 receives WUS transmitted by network equipment 102 via a low-power receiver. The low-power receiver has very low power consumption, thus achieving energy savings.

[0088] In one example, after receiving a wake-up signal on the low-power receiver, user equipment 101 can determine to turn on the host, transition from a sleep state to an active state for normal operation, and listen to the PDCCH.

[0089] In some possible implementations, user equipment 101 is in a micro-sleep state when listening to LP WUS. In this micro-sleep state, user equipment 101 is in its lightest sleep state, capable of quickly transitioning from a light sleep state to a normally active state with a short transition time. Therefore, even though user equipment 101 is in a sleep state, the impact on data transmission latency is minimal, ensuring data transmission latency performance.

[0090] In some possible implementations, network device 102 configures user equipment 101 with an LP WUS listening configuration that indicates the corresponding start listening time offset and LP WUS listening period.

[0091] In one example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the frame rate of the XR service data is 60 FPS, the data transmission period is 16.67 ms, and the latency jitter is [4, -4] ms. Network device 102 is configured with an LP WUS listening configuration. The LP WUS listening period of this configuration is 16 ms, and the start listening time offset is 0 ms. In this example, user equipment 101 can start listening to LP WUS from time slots of 0 ms, 16 ms, 32 ms, etc.

[0092] In some possible implementations, network device 102 configures multiple LP WUS monitoring configurations for user equipment 101. The LP WUS monitoring period indicated by each LP WUS monitoring configuration may be the same, but the start monitoring time offset may be different.

[0093] In one example, the frame rate of XR service data is 60 FPS, the data transmission period is 16.67 ms, and the latency jitter is [4, -4] ms. Network device 102 is configured with a first LP WUS listening configuration and a second LP WUS listening configuration.

[0094] In this example, the LP WUS listening period for both the first and second LP WUS listening configurations is 50ms. The starting listening time offset for the first LP WUS listening configuration is 0ms, and the starting listening time offset for the second LP WUS listening configuration is 16ms.

[0095] In this embodiment, user equipment 101 learns the LPWUS listening configuration based on configuration information received from network device 102. User equipment 101 can use a low-power receiver to listen to LPWUS based on the LPWUS start listening time offset and LPWUS listening period, so that it can listen to PDCCH only after LPWUS is detected, thereby reducing unnecessary PDCCH blind detection and saving power consumption of user equipment 101. Furthermore, since user equipment 101 can quickly transition from a micro-sleep state to a normal operating active state, the impact on data transmission latency is minimal, ensuring data transmission latency performance.

[0096] This disclosure provides a method for receiving configuration information, which is executed by user equipment 101. The method includes steps S401 to S402, wherein:

[0097] The configuration information includes multiple sets of low-power wake-up signal (LP WUS) monitoring configurations;

[0098] The LP WUS monitoring configurations of multiple sets of LP WUS have the same LP WUS monitoring period, but the starting monitoring time offsets of the multiple LP WUS monitoring configurations are different.

[0099] In some possible implementations, under multiple LPWUS monitoring configurations, user equipment 101 can use a mechanism of parallel LPWUS monitoring configurations to perform LPWUS monitoring.

[0100] In some possible implementations, combined Figure 5 As shown, a single LP WUS monitoring configuration may face the phenomenon of mismatch between the LP WUS monitoring period and the non-integer XR service data transmission period.

[0101] exist Figure 5In the example, the frame rate of the XR service data is 60 FPS, the data transmission period is 16.67 ms, and the latency jitter is [4, -4] ms. If network device 102 is configured with an LP WUS monitoring configuration, for example, the LP WUS monitoring period of this configuration is 16 ms, and the start monitoring time offset is 0 ms, combined with... Figure 5 As shown, there is an offset between each data transmission cycle and each LP WUS listening cycle.

[0102] In some possible implementations, the mismatch can be improved by configuring multiple LP WUS listening configurations with different starting listening times for each configuration.

[0103] In one example, the frame rate of XR service data is 60 FPS, the data transmission period is 16.67 ms, and the latency jitter is [4, -4] ms. It is assumed that data generation starts from the 4th ms. Network device 102 is configured with a first LP WUS listening configuration, a second LP WUS listening configuration, and a third LP WUS listening configuration.

[0104] The LP WUS listening period for the first, second, and third LP WUS listening configurations is 50ms. The start time offset for the first LP WUS listening configuration is 0ms, for the second it is 16ms, and for the third it is 33ms.

[0105] In this example, according to the first LP WUS listening configuration, user equipment 101 will start listening to LP WUS at time slots of 0ms, 50ms, 100ms, etc.

[0106] According to the second LP WUS listening configuration, user equipment 101 will start LP WUS listening at time slots of 16ms, 66ms, 116ms... respectively.

[0107] According to the third LP WUS listening configuration, user equipment 101 will start LP WUS listening at time slots of 33ms, 83ms, 133ms... respectively.

[0108] In this embodiment of the disclosure, network device 102 is configured with multiple sets of LP WUS listening configurations with different start listening time offsets. User equipment 101 listens to LP WUS in parallel through multiple sets of LP WUS listening configurations in order to better match the sending cycle of XR service data.

[0109] This disclosure provides a method for receiving configuration information, which is executed by user equipment 101. (Refer to...) Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a method for receiving configuration information according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the method includes steps S601 to S603, specifically:

[0110] In step S601, user equipment 101 receives configuration information sent by network device 102. The configuration information includes at least one set of low-power wake-up signal (LP WUS) monitoring configuration. The LP WUS monitoring configuration includes the start monitoring time offset and the LP WUS monitoring period.

[0111] In step S602, user equipment 101 listens to LP WUS according to at least one LP WUS listening configuration.

[0112] In step S603, after the user equipment 101 detects LP WUS, it switches from sleep state to working state and starts listening to PDCCH.

[0113] In some possible implementations, user equipment 101 is in micro sleep state when listening to LP WUS, and after listening to LP WUS, it transitions from micro sleep state to working state to perform PDCCH listening. The transition time is negligible.

[0114] In some possible implementations, network device 102 configures user equipment 101 with an LP WUS listening configuration.

[0115] In one example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the frame rate of XR service data is 60 FPS, the data transmission period is 16.67 ms, and the latency jitter is [4, -4] ms. The LP WUS monitoring configuration of network device 102 includes: an LP WUS monitoring period of 16 ms and a start monitoring time offset of 0 ms. In this example, user equipment 101 can start monitoring LP WUS from time slots of 0 ms, 16 ms, 32 ms, etc.

[0116] In some possible implementations, network device 102 configures multiple LP WUS monitoring configurations for user equipment 101.

[0117] In one example, the frame rate of XR service data is 60 FPS, the data transmission period is 16.67 ms, and the latency jitter is [4, -4] ms. Network device 102 is configured with a first LP WUS listening configuration, a second LP WUS listening configuration, and a third LP WUS listening configuration.

[0118] The LP WUS listening period for the first, second, and third LP WUS listening configurations can all be 50ms. The start listening time offset for the first LP WUS listening configuration is 0ms, for the second LP WUS listening configuration it is 16ms, and for the third LP WUS listening configuration it is 33ms.

[0119] In this example, according to the first LP WUS listening configuration, user equipment 101 will start listening to LP WUS at time slots of 0ms, 50ms, 100ms, etc.

[0120] According to the second LP WUS listening configuration, user equipment 101 will start LP WUS listening at time slots of 16ms, 66ms, 116ms... respectively.

[0121] According to the third LP WUS listening configuration, user equipment 101 will start LP WUS listening at time slots of 33ms, 83ms, 133ms... respectively.

[0122] For ease of understanding, the monitoring process in this embodiment can be referred to the following example:

[0123] The information monitoring process in this example may include the following steps executed in a loop:

[0124] In step S11, user equipment 101 starts listening to LP WUS from time slot 0ms and receives the LP WUS signal at the end of slot 2.

[0125] In step S12, user equipment 101 wakes up starting from slot 3 and receives the PDCCH / PDSCH of the first data frame. Meanwhile, network device 102 indicates PDCCH skipping in the PDCCH of slot 5.

[0126] In step S13, user equipment 101 ends the reception of the first data frame in slot 5.

[0127] In step S14, user equipment 101 will enter the PDCCH skipping state starting from slot 6 according to the PDCCH of slot 5.

[0128] In step S15, user equipment 101 switches back to micro sleep state from slot 16 and listens to LP WUS.

[0129] In this embodiment of the disclosure, user equipment 101 performs LPWUS listening according to the LPWUS listening configuration configured by network device 102. This can effectively reduce unnecessary PDCCH blind detection and save energy consumption of user equipment 101 by listening to LPWUS. It can also ensure that user equipment 101 can be woken up immediately after LPWUS is detected, minimizing the impact of energy-saving measures on data transmission latency, thereby ensuring data transmission latency performance.

[0130] This disclosure provides a method for receiving configuration information, which is executed by user equipment 101. (Refer to...) Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a method for receiving configuration information according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the method includes steps S701 to S702, specifically:

[0131] In step S701, user equipment 101 receives first information, which indicates skipping PDCCH monitoring.

[0132] In step S702, user equipment 101 does not listen to PDCCH between the start time of skipping PDCCH listening and the start time of the next LP WUS listening cycle.

[0133] In some possible implementations, the method further includes steps S601 to S603, wherein step S701 is performed during or after step S603.

[0134] In some possible implementations, user equipment 101 may enter a sleep state after receiving the first information and not listen to the PDCCH.

[0135] In some possible implementations, the end time of skipping PDCCH listening is the start time of the next LP WUS listening cycle.

[0136] In one example, at the start of the next LP WUS listening cycle, user equipment 101 may enter a microsleep state to listen to LP WUS.

[0137] In some possible implementations, if the period for skipping PDCCH listening ends but the start time of the next LP WUS listening cycle has not yet begun, the user equipment 101 continues not to listen to PDCCH.

[0138] In this embodiment, user equipment 101 performs PDCCH skipping via the first information sent by network device 102 to save energy. In this embodiment, user equipment 101 can terminate PDCCH skipping in conjunction with the start time of the LP WUS listening period, and network device 102 does not need to indicate the duration of skipping PDCCH listening.

[0139] This disclosure provides a method for receiving configuration information, which is executed by user equipment 101. The method includes steps S701a to S702a, specifically:

[0140] In step S701a, user equipment 101 receives second information, which is used to determine the duration of skipping PDCCH listening.

[0141] Step S702a: If the duration determined according to the second information is indicated as numerical information, maintain a state of not listening to PDCCH between the end time of skipping PDCCH listening and the start time of the next LP WUS listening cycle. Alternatively, if the duration determined according to the second information is indicated as non-numerical information, do not listen to PDCCH between the start time of skipping PDCCH listening and the start time of the next LP WUS listening cycle.

[0142] In one example, the second information includes an indication field that occupies two bits.

[0143] When the value of this indicator field is 00, it indicates that skipping the PDCCH listener will not be performed;

[0144] When the value of this indicator field is 01, it indicates that PDCCH listening is skipped, and the duration of skipping PDCCH listening is 1.

[0145] When the value of this indicator field is 10, it indicates that PDCCH listening is skipped, and the duration of skipping PDCCH listening is 2.

[0146] When the value of this indicator field is 11, it indicates that PDCCH listening should be skipped, and the duration of skipping PDCCH listening is a non-numerical value.

[0147] In another example, the second information includes an indication field that occupies 3 bits.

[0148] When the value of this indicator field is 000, it indicates that skipping the PDCCH listener will not be performed;

[0149] When the value of this indicator field is 001, it indicates that PDCCH listening is skipped, and the duration of skipping PDCCH listening is 1.

[0150] When the value of this indicator field is 010, it indicates that PDCCH listening is skipped, and the duration of skipping PDCCH listening is 2.

[0151] When the value of this indicator field is 011, it indicates that the PDCCH listening is skipped, and the duration of skipping the PDCCH listening is 3.

[0152] ...

[0153] When the value of this indicator field is 110, it indicates that PDCCH listening is skipped, and the duration of skipping PDCCH listening is 6.

[0154] When the value of this indication field is 111, it indicates that PDCCH listening is skipped, and the duration of skipping PDCCH listening is a non-numerical value. In some possible implementations, the method further includes steps S601 to S603, with step S701a executed during or after step S603.

[0155] In this embodiment of the disclosure, user equipment 101 can skip PDCCH listening through the second information of network device 102, and can always not listen to PDCCH during the duration of skipping PDCCH listening, or before the start of the next LP WUS listening cycle, thereby reducing unnecessary PDCCH blind detection and saving energy.
