[0036] The technical solution in this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] FIG1 illustrates a wireless communication system 100 used in an embodiment of the present application. The wireless communication system 100 may include a network device 110 and a user equipment (UE) 120. The network device 110 may communicate with the UE 120. The network device 110 may provide communication coverage for a specific geographic area and may communicate with the UE 120 within the coverage area. The UE 120 may access a network (e.g., a wireless network) through the network device 110.

Optionally, the wireless communication system 100 may include multiple network devices, and each network device may include a different number of terminal devices within its coverage area, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0041] The network device in the embodiments of the present application may be a device for communicating with a UE, and may also be referred to as an access network device or a radio access network device. For example, the network device may be a base station.

[0043] It should be understood that network devices can be deployed on land, including indoors or outdoors, handheld or vehicle-mounted; can also be deployed on water; and can also be deployed in the air on aircraft, balloons, and satellites. The embodiments of this application do not limit the network devices and the scenarios in which they are used.

[0044] It should also be understood that all or part of the functions of the network device and UE in this application can also be implemented through software functions running on hardware, or through virtualization functions instantiated on a platform (such as a cloud platform).

[0045] To provide higher data rates and enhance user experience, 5G NR further increases the system bandwidth compared to 4G. In 5G NR, for frequency bands below 6 GHz, the maximum bandwidth supported by a single carrier is 100 MHz; for frequency bands above 6 GHz, the maximum bandwidth supported by a single carrier is 400 MHz. For a large carrier bandwidth, such as 100 MHz, the bandwidth required by a terminal is often very limited. If the terminal is required to perform detection and measurement across the entire bandwidth, this would pose a significant challenge to terminal power consumption and hinder power conservation. Therefore, 5G NR introduces the concept of bandwidth part (BWP), which allocates a continuous portion of bandwidth within the entire carrier bandwidth for terminal devices to transmit and receive data. Terminal devices only need to perform related operations within this portion of bandwidth configured by the network equipment, thereby achieving energy conservation.

[0046] Based on the 5G NR Rel-15 standard, for each service cell of the terminal device, the network device can configure one or more BWPs for the terminal device on this service cell through the radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message, and the maximum number of configurable BWPs is 4. At each moment, the terminal device can only have 1 activated downlink (DL) BWP and 1 activated uplink (UL) BWP on this service cell, and the terminal can only send and receive data on the activated BWP. Taking into account factors such as the diversity of terminal device services and the differences in different service characteristics, the terminal device may need to adjust the BWP. For example, when the terminal device has a large traffic volume and hopes to obtain high-speed services, a large-bandwidth BWP is required to transmit data for this terminal device. When the terminal device has a small traffic volume, a small-bandwidth BWP can be used for data transmission for this terminal device. The BWP activated by the terminal device on this service cell can be changed by BWP switching. The following 4 BWP switching methods are currently supported in the standard:

[0047] 1. BWP switching based on physical downlink control channel (PDCCH)

[0048] BWP switching controlled by network equipment: The network equipment notifies a single terminal device of the target BWP to switch to by sending a PDCCH scrambled with the cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) to the single terminal device.

[0049] 2. BWP switching based on RRC (re)configuration message

[0050] BWP switching controlled by the network device. The network device instructs the terminal device to switch the active BWP to firstActiveDownlinkBWP-Id or / and firstActiveUplinkBWP-Id by carrying firstActiveDownlinkBWP-Id and / or firstActiveUplinkBWP-Id in the RRC (re)configuration message.

[0051] 3. BWP switching based on timer timeout

[0052] Implicit BWP switching. The network device configures a timer bwp-InactivityTimer for each service cell of the terminal device. If the DL BWP currently activated by the terminal device is a BWP other than the default BWP and the initial DL BWP, each time the terminal device receives a PDCCH indicating the uplink or downlink scheduling of the UE on the currently activated BWP, or the terminal device receives a PDCCH indicating the uplink or downlink scheduling of the UE on the currently activated BWP, the timer bwp-InactivityTimer is started or restarted. When the timer bwp-InactivityTimer times out, the terminal device automatically switches to the default BWP or the initial DL BWP, where the default BWP and the initial BWP are both determined by the RRC configuration.

[0053] 4. BWP switching caused by random access initialization

[0054] During the random access channel (RACH) initialization process, if the terminal device does not configure a PRACH occasion on the currently activated UL BWP, the terminal device automatically switches the UL BWP to the initial UL BWP and simultaneously switches the DL BWP to the initial DL BWP.

[0055] In LTE and NR systems, the concept of system message update cycle is also proposed. For example, when a network device wants to update a system message, it can first repeatedly send a system message update indication in the nth system message update cycle, and then repeatedly send the changed system message in the n+1th system message update cycle. The boundary of the system message update cycle is defined as the SFN that satisfies the system frame number (SFN) mod m = 0, where m is the number of SFNs included in one system message update cycle, m is an integer, and mod represents the remainder operation. m = modificationPeriodCoeff * defaultPagingCycle, where modificationPeriodCoeff and defaultPagingCycle are the system message update cycle coefficient and the default paging cycle, respectively. These two parameters are determined by the network device broadcast.

[0056] In the NR system, the system message update period applies to updates of system messages other than system information blocks (SIB) 6, SIB7, SIB8, and positioning assistance data. In NR, the short message in the paging downlink control information (DCI) is used to indicate the system information update indication. The PDCCH containing the paging DCI is scrambled by the P-RNTI.

[0057] If the value of systemInfoModification in the short message is 1, indicating that other system information except SIB6, SIB7 and / or SIB8 needs to be updated, the terminal device obtains the updated system information in the next system information update period.

[0058] If the value of etwsAndCmasIndication in the short message is 1, it means that the network device is going to send an earthquake and tsunami warning system (ETWS) and / or commercial mobile alert system (CMAS) notification. The terminal device will immediately re-read SIB1, SIB6, SIB7 and / or SIB8 after receiving the short message.

[0059] To address the issues of frequent handovers and handover failures in high-speed mobility and high-frequency deployment scenarios, LTE and NR systems have also introduced a conditional handover process (CHO). The basic principle is that the network equipment assigns the target cell to the terminal device in advance, and the handover (HO) command includes the conditions for triggering the terminal device to perform handover. The terminal device, based on the conditions configured on the network side, evaluates the conditions related to the target cell and executes the handover to the target cell according to the pre-configured handover command (i.e., triggers the random access process and sends a handover completion message). This avoids the problem of not being able to send measurement reports or receive handover commands in time due to high-speed movement into poor coverage areas.

[0060] For CHO, the network device can configure multiple candidate target cells in the HO command and configure CHO execution conditions for each candidate target cell. The CHO execution conditions of each candidate target cell can include one or two triggering events. For example, in the communication standard version 16 (Rel-16), the A3 event and the A5 event can be used for CHO events. In the non-terrestrial network (NTN) of Rel-17, the A4 event can also be used as a CHO event. The terminal device can determine which target cell to access based on the configured CHO execution conditions.

[0061] Currently, the measurement events supported in NR include the following:

[0062] A1 event: the signal quality of the serving cell is higher than a threshold;

[0063] A2 event: the signal quality of the serving cell is lower than a threshold;

[0064] A3 event: The signal quality of the neighboring cell is higher than the signal quality of the special cell (SpCell) by a threshold;

[0065] A4 event: the signal quality of the neighboring cell is higher than a threshold;

[0066] A5 event: the signal quality of the SpCell is lower than a threshold 1, and the signal quality of the neighboring cell is higher than a threshold 2;

[0067] A6 event: The signal quality of the neighboring cell is higher than the signal quality of the secondary cell (SCell) by a threshold;

[0068] B1 event: the signal quality of the neighboring cell of the different system exceeds a threshold;

[0069] B2 event: The signal quality of the primary cell (PCell) is lower than a threshold 1, and the signal quality of the heterogeneous technology neighboring cell is higher than a threshold 2.

[0070] At the same time, to address the frequent primary and secondary cell (PSCell) changes in high-speed mobility and high-frequency deployment scenarios, LTE and NR systems have introduced a conditional PSCell change (CPC) process. The basic principle is that the secondary node (SN) pre-assigns the target cell to the UE, including the conditions for triggering the UE to change the PSCell. The UE evaluates the conditions configured by the network side and initiates the PSell change when the conditions are met. This avoids the problem of being unable to send measurement reports or receive PSell change commands in time due to high-speed movement into poor coverage areas.

[0071] Similar to CHO, for CPC, the network device can configure multiple candidate target cells for the terminal device and configure CPC execution conditions for each candidate target cell. Each CPC execution condition can include one or two triggering events. For example, in Rel-16, the CPC events that can be used are A3 and A5. The terminal device can determine which target cell to access based on the configured CPC execution conditions.

[0072] With the advancement of communications technology, energy consumption in communication networks has increased significantly, becoming a significant component of operators' operating costs. However, current solutions have only addressed energy conservation in terminal devices, without considering network energy conservation. Furthermore, it is unclear how to support handover (CHO), BWP handover, and system message broadcasting in network energy conservation scenarios. Specifically, it is unclear how to implement handover (CHO), BWP handover, and system message broadcasting in network energy conservation scenarios.

[0073] In order to solve one or more of the above technical problems, the present application proposes a communication method, a terminal device and a network device.

[0074] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to FIG. 2 to FIG. 11 .

[0075] FIG2 is a schematic flow chart of a communication method according to an embodiment of the present application. The method 200 shown in FIG2 may include step S210, which is as follows:

[0076] S210: The terminal device communicates according to the network status or network status related information. Correspondingly, the network device communicates according to the network status or network status related information.

[0077] The network state may include the first network device or the first cell being in at least one of an on state, an off state, a switch state, a half-on state, a silent state, and a semi-silent state.

[0078] Optionally, when in the on / off state, the first network device (or first cell) may switch between the on state and the off state according to a preset period or pattern. For example, the first cell may be turned off or on according to the pattern shown in FIG4 .

[0079] Optionally, when in a half-open state, the first network device or the first cell may only turn on (or turn off) the transmission of the following signals: synchronization signal block (SSB), system information, reference signal (RS), physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), downlink data, uplink data, random access channel (RACH) and scheduling request (SR). That is to say, the half-open state may include multiple states, for example, a half-open state supporting SSB, a half-open state supporting system information, a half-open state supporting system information and RS, a sparse configuration or intermittent configuration state supporting SSB, a sparse configuration or intermittent configuration state supporting system information, a sparse configuration or intermittent configuration state supporting system information and RS, etc.

[0080] Optionally, when in a silence state, the first network device (or first cell) may not shut down the network device (or cell), but may stop all transmissions of the network device (or cell).

[0081] Similar to the semi-open state, when in the semi-silent state, the first network device or the first cell may only start (or stop) the transmission of part of the above signals.

[0082] The network status related information may include at least one of the following: network status (for example: on, off, switch conversion, half-on state, silent state and semi-silent state, etc.), duration of the on state, duration of the closed state, starting time of the on state, starting time of the closed state, ending time of the on state, ending time of the closed state, period of the on state, number of times the on state is maintained, period of the closed state, number of times the closed state is maintained, time of the half-on state (for example: at least one of start, end, duration, period, etc.), time of the silent state (for example: at least one of start, end, duration, period, etc.), time of the semi-silent state (for example: at least one of start, end, duration, period, etc.).

[0083] Optionally, the first network device may be the network device where the terminal device is currently located (for example, the first network device is a network device that provides services to the terminal device) or a network device adjacent to the network device where the terminal device is currently located, and the first cell may be the cell where the terminal device is currently located (for example, the first cell is a serving cell of the terminal device) or a cell adjacent to the cell where the terminal device is currently located. The network device or cell where the terminal device is currently located may refer to: a cell or network device that communicates with the terminal device.

[0084] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may determine the network status and / or network status related information. For example, the terminal device may determine the network status and / or network status related information based on the first configuration information or the second indication information. The embodiment of determining the network status and / or network status related information is described in detail below with reference to FIG3 and FIG5 .

[0085] FIG3 is a schematic flow chart of a communication method according to an embodiment of the present application. The method 300 shown in FIG3 may include steps S310, S320, and S330, as follows:

[0086] S310: The terminal device obtains first configuration information. Accordingly, the network device may send the first configuration information.

[0087] The first configuration information may be used to determine the network status and / or the transmission of the terminal device.

[0088] Optionally, the first configuration information may include at least one of the following:

[0089] The first configuration information is configured or indicated to the terminal device in a static or semi-static manner; the first configuration information is for the terminal device (such as UE-specific); the first configuration information is for a cell or a base station; the first configuration information is for a network device adjacent to the network device currently located by the terminal device or a cell adjacent to the cell currently located by the terminal device; the first configuration information is for the network device currently located by the terminal device or the cell currently located. For example, when the first configuration information is configured or indicated to the terminal device in a semi-static manner, the first configuration information may be configured or indicated to the terminal device through system information, RRC information, or dedicated information.

[0090] S320: The terminal device may determine the network status or related information of the network status according to the first configuration information.

[0091] S330: The terminal device communicates according to the network state or network state related information. Correspondingly, the network device communicates according to the network state or network state related information.

[0092] In some possible implementations, the first configuration information may include a first parameter, which may be used to indicate whether a terminal device that does not support network energy saving can access the first network device or the first cell, or whether a terminal device that supports network energy saving can access the first network device or the first cell. For example, the first parameter may include at least one of cellBarred, cellReservedForOtherUse, cellReservedForFutureUse, and a new bar parameter (i.e., a defined bar parameter). Furthermore, the terminal device may determine whether to access the first network device or the first cell based on the first parameter.

[0093] For example, a terminal device that supports network energy saving determines whether it can access the network based on the cellBarred parameter and the new bar parameter. Exemplarily, if cellBarred is set to barred access (barred) and the new bar parameter is set to not barred access (not barred), the terminal device that supports network energy saving can access the network. Otherwise, if cellBarred is set to barred and the new bar parameter is set to barred, the terminal device that supports network energy saving cannot access the network. For example, a legacy UE or a terminal device that does not support network energy saving determines whether it can access the network based on cellBarred. Exemplarily, if cellBarred is set to barred, the legacy UE or the terminal device that does not support network energy saving cannot access the network. Otherwise, if cellBarred is set to not barred, the legacy UE or the terminal device that does not support network energy saving can access the network. For example, a terminal device that supports network energy saving determines whether it can access the network based on cellBarred. Exemplarily, if cellBarred is set to barred, the terminal device that supports network energy saving cannot access the network. Otherwise, if cellBarred is set to not barred, the terminal device that supports network energy saving can access the network.

[0094] In some possible implementations, the first configuration information may include at least one of the following: a network status indication or a network status entered (for example, on, off, switch conversion, half-on state, silent state and semi-silent state, etc.), a switch conversion status indication, a period of the switch conversion state, a pattern of the switch conversion state, an on indication or an on state indication, a off indication or an off state indication, the time of the on state (for example, at least one of start, end, duration, period, etc.), the time of the off state (for example, at least one of start, end, duration, period, etc.), the time of the half-on state (for example, at least one of start, end, duration, period, etc.), the time of the silent state (for example, at least one of start, end, duration, period, etc.), the time of the semi-silent state (for example, at least one of start, end, duration, period, etc.).

[0095] Optionally, the cycle of the switch conversion state may include at least one of the following: an on cycle, a off cycle, an on duration, an off duration, a start time of on, a start time of off, an end time of on, an end time of off, a conversion cycle of the switch conversion state, a switch conversion cycle of the switch conversion state, the number of times the switch conversion state is maintained, a start time from the on state to the switch conversion state, an end time from the on state to the switch conversion state, a start time from the off state to the switch conversion state, an end time from the off state to the switch conversion state, a cycle of a switch conversion state mode; the mode of the switch conversion state may include at least one of the following: a start time of the mode, an end time of the mode, an on position within the mode, The closed position within the mode; the time of the open state may include at least one of the following: the open period, the open duration, the open start time, and the open end time; the time of the closed state may include at least one of the following: the closed period, the closed duration, the closed start time, and the closed end time; the time of the half-open state may include at least one of the following: the half-open period, the half-open duration, the half-open start time, and the half-open end time; the time of the silent state may include at least one of the following: the silent period, the silent duration, the silent start time, and the silent end time; the time of the semi-silent state may include at least one of the following: the semi-silent period, the semi-silent duration, the semi-silent start time, and the semi-silent end time. The number of times the switch conversion state is maintained may refer to the number of times the switch conversion state is maintained or the number of times the switch conversion state is continued. For example, assuming that the period of a switch conversion state is 10ms, then if the number of times the switch conversion state is maintained is 5, then the switch conversion state needs to be maintained 5 times (50ms).

[0096] In some possible implementations, the first configuration information may include network status related information. The network status related information may indicate the first indication information, or indicate whether to transmit the first indication information, or indicate transmission information for transmitting the first indication information, or indicate configuration information for transmitting the first indication information, or be used to transmit the first indication information, or the network status related information may be configuration information for indicating or requesting a network status, or signal information (such as a reference signal), or signal configuration information, or content information that the first indication information may include.

Exemplarily, if cellBarred is set to barred and the new bar parameter is set to non-barred, the terminal device that supports network energy saving can access the network. Otherwise, if cellBarred is set to barred and the new bar parameter is set to barred, the terminal device that supports network energy saving cannot access the network. For example, a legacy UE or a terminal device that does not support network energy saving determines whether it can access the network based on cellBarred. Exemplarily, if cellBarred is set to barred, the legacy UE or the terminal device that does not support network energy saving cannot access the network. Otherwise, if cellBarred is set to not barred, the legacy UE or the terminal device that does not support network energy saving can access the network. For example, a terminal device that supports network energy saving determines whether it can access the network based on cellBarred. Exemplarily, if cellBarred is set to barred, the terminal device that supports network energy saving cannot access the network. Otherwise, if cellBarred is set to not barred, the terminal device that supports network energy saving can access the network.

For example, the time information may include a start time, an end time, etc.

[0196] Optionally, the terminal device may send the sixth information to the network device via an RRC message, a media access control layer control element MAC CE or uplink control information (UCI).

[0197] Optionally, the terminal device may send the sixth information to the network device at a specific time or time period.

Before the first cell switches its switch state, the terminal device sends the first information. The first information can be used for measurement or scheduling reference, thereby ensuring that there is measurement information or scheduling reference information when the first cell switches its switch state.
