Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a method, device and storage medium for determining low-power access or transmission. Background Art

[0002] The terminal energy saving topic proposes the concepts of low power wake-up signal (LP-WUS) and low power receiver (LP-WUR), which are applied to further reduce the terminal energy consumption level on the basis of existing energy-saving technologies. When the terminal is in the idle mode of Radio Resource Control (RRC), the main device (Main Radio, MR) of the terminal with high energy consumption is turned off when there is no business transmission between the base station and the terminal, so that the terminal can enter an ultra-deep sleep state. At the same time, the LP-WUR device is turned on to receive the low power wake-up signal (LP-WUS) sent by the base station to determine whether it is necessary to wake up the MR and the base station to communicate, which can greatly save the power consumption of the terminal.

[0003] However, the access delay generated when MR wakes up from the low power state to receive the NR signal sent by the base station normally includes: the transition delay from the extremely low power state to the active state (400ms, 800ms), and the resynchronization delay after MR enters the active state (3 to 10 SSB cycles). Compared with the existing terminal energy-saving methods, the access delay of the terminal waking up again after entering the extremely low power state is greatly increased.

[0004] Therefore, how to reduce the delay of a terminal accessing a base station after being in an extremely low power consumption state has become an urgent problem to be solved in this field. Summary of the invention

[0180] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0181] Figure 1 is one of the flowcharts of the method for determining low-power access or transmission provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 1 As shown, including:

[0182] Step 101: Determine a resource location where a first device receives a first signal based on first configuration information sent by a network device; the first signal is used to instruct the first device to wake up a second device;

[0183] Specifically, after receiving the first configuration information sent by the network device, the resource location at which the first device receives the first signal is determined according to the first configuration information, that is, at which time-frequency resource locations the first device receives the first signal. The time-frequency resource location here is specifically divided into two aspects: time domain resources and frequency domain resources. The units of the time domain resource location can be determined according to the different granularities of dividing the network resources, including system frames, time slots, and symbols, and the units of the frequency domain resource location include Hertz Hz. Of course, the time-frequency resource location can also be expressed in the form of resource units (Resource Element, RE), resource groups (Resource Element Group, REG), and resource blocks (Resource Block, RB). The first device includes an extremely low power receiver (Low Power Wake Up Receiver, LP-WUR).

[0184] At the resource location where the first signal is received, the first device receives the first signal sent by the network device, the first signal being used to instruct the first device to wake up the second device, that is, after the first device receives the first signal, it can wake up one or more second devices associated or connected to the first device, and these second devices associated or connected to the first device are in a dormant state. The first signal may be a Low Power Wake Up Signal (LP-WUS), and the second device includes a Main Radio (MR).

[0185] Step 102: Determine the resource location where the second device receives the second signal based on the second configuration information sent by the network device and the resource location where the first device receives the first signal; the second signal is used for the awakened second device to access the network device, or to transmit signals or data with the network device.

[0186] Specifically, in addition to receiving the first configuration signal sent by the network device, the second configuration information sent by the network device will also be received. The second configuration information can configure the offset between the resource location for receiving the second signal and the resource location for receiving the first signal, the configuration parameters for periodically receiving the second signal, the receiving window parameter configuration for receiving the second signal, etc.

[0187] Through the above-mentioned second configuration information, combined with the resource location of receiving the first signal, the resource location where the second device receives the second signal is further determined. The second device receives the second signal at the resource location where the second signal is received, and the second signal enables the awakened second device to access the network device or perform data transmission or service signal transmission with the network device. The first device and the second device here can belong to the same terminal or different terminals.

[0188] The method for determining low-power access or transmission provided in an embodiment of the present application configures first configuration information and second configuration information of a network device, and determines the resource location of a first signal based on the first configuration information, and dynamically determines the resource location of a second signal based on the second configuration information, thereby reducing the delay of waiting for the second signal after the second device is awakened, and at the same time reducing the energy consumption overhead of the second device during the period of waiting for the second signal.

[0189] In some embodiments, before determining the resource location of the first device receiving the first signal based on the first configuration information sent by the network device, the method further includes:

The type of the receiver of the first device, such as RF-based, baseband-based; the sensitivity of the receiver of the first device, mainly used to indicate the sensitivity of the receiver of the first device to the signal, in dBm; the transition delay of the second device from the extremely low power consumption state to the activated state, different second devices have different corresponding transition delays, such as the transition delay of some second devices is 400ms, and the transition delay of some second devices is 800ms; the version information of the communication standard supported by the second device, mainly indicating that the second device supports the version of Rel16, Rel17 or higher-level communication standards.

It can be understood as the number of repeated transmissions or the maximum number of transmissions that the network device can send the first signal. After the number of repeated transmissions or the maximum number of transmissions is reached, the network side no longer sends the first signal.

[0214] The number of second devices associated with the first signal is mainly used to configure how many second devices are associated with the first device. The configuration information can be used to determine how many second devices are awakened by the first device receiving the first signal, and which second devices are awakened specifically need to be determined based on the identifiers of the second devices associated with the first device. For the first device, its associated second devices are already configured.

[0215] The number of second device groups associated with the first signal is mainly used to configure how many second device groups are associated with the first device. The configuration information can be used to determine how many second device groups are awakened by the first device receiving the first signal, and which second device groups are awakened specifically need to be determined based on the identifier of the second device associated with the first device.

[0230] Through the above-mentioned second configuration information, appropriate second configuration information can be configured for the second device according to the conversion delay of the second device, thereby effectively reducing the waiting time of the second device. For example, a longer reference time domain offset can be configured for a second device with a longer conversion delay, and a shorter reference time domain offset can be configured for a second device with a shorter conversion delay, thereby adapting to second devices with different conversion delays.

[0231] In some embodiments, the second configuration information includes one or more of the following:

The name of the second search space configuration information is different from the name of the first search space configuration information. In addition, the values ​​of certain configuration parameters in the second search space configuration information are different from the values ​​of the same configuration parameters in the first search space configuration information. The second search space configuration parameters are used to configure the second period for receiving the second signal, the offset of the starting receiving position and the third duration within a single second period, and the type of the second signal; of course, the aggregation level, a more fine-grained starting receiving symbol position for receiving the second signal, etc. can also be configured.

[0241] The receiving window configuration information is used to configure any one or a combination of the receiving window starting time, the receiving window duration and the ending time; the receiving window is used to receive the second signal; that is, a time window configured to receive the second signal.

[0244] In some embodiments, the duration of the receiving window is a plurality of unit durations determined in units of system frames, time slots, symbols or paging cycles.

[0245] Specifically, the duration of the receiving window may be a system frame, a time slot, a symbol or a paging cycle as a unit, and may be a plurality of system frames, a plurality of time slots, a plurality of symbols or a plurality of paging cycles determined.

[0308] The fourth duration is an integer multiple of discontinuous reception cycles or paging cycles used to receive the second signal.

[0309] Specifically, in addition to determining the resource location at which the second device receives the second signal based on the second configuration information and the resource location at which the first signal is received, the resource location at which the second device receives the second signal can also be preferentially determined directly based on the second configuration information, and then the resource location for receiving the first signal can be determined based on the time domain offset between the resource location corresponding to the reference point and the resource location at which the second signal is received, thereby first receiving the first signal at the resource location at which the first signal is received, and then receiving the second signal at the resource location at which the second device receives the second signal.

[0310] In order to directly determine the resource location for the second device to receive the second signal based on the second configuration information, the corresponding second configuration information also needs to configure: a fourth duration associated with the first signal for receiving the second signal, wherein the fourth duration is an integer multiple of the paging cycle for receiving the second signal.

[0311] In a case where the second configuration information includes a fourth duration associated with the first signal for receiving the second signal, acquiring a first period for receiving the second signal of the first search space configuration information in the second configuration information;

[0312] In each first period, determining in sequence a resource location for receiving the second signal according to the time domain offset in the second configuration information;

[0313] Based on the fourth duration and the time domain offset in the second configuration information, and the resource location for receiving the target second signal, the resource location for all the first devices to receive the first signal is determined. Correspondingly, when sending the second signal, the network device will also select one or more resource locations that meet the receiving capability information reported by the first device and / or the second device, and send the second signal to the second device.

[0314] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0315] receiving the first signal at a resource location for receiving the first signal;

[0316] If the number of repeated transmissions or the maximum number of transmissions of the first signal included in the first configuration information is reached, the first signal is no longer received.

[0317] Specifically, the first device receives the first signal at the resource location for receiving the first signal, and counts whether the actual number of consecutive receptions of the first signal reaches the number of repeated transmissions or the maximum number of transmissions of the first signal configured in the first configuration information; if so, the first signal is no longer received; if not, the first device continues to receive the first signal until the configured number of repeated transmissions or the maximum number of transmissions of the first signal is reached.

[0318] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0319] receiving the second signal at a resource location for receiving the second signal;

[0320] If the maximum number of times the second signal included in the second configuration information is received is reached and the second signal is not received, the second device enters a sleep state.

[0321] Specifically, the second device receives the second signal at a resource location for receiving the second signal, and counts whether the consecutive number of times the second signal is not received reaches a preset maximum number of receptions. If so, the second device enters the sleep state again.

[0322] In some embodiments, the type of the first configuration information includes one or more of the following: Cell-specific configuration information, UE-specific configuration information, and UE group-specific configuration information; the type of the second configuration information includes one or more of the following: Cell-specific configuration information, UE-specific configuration information, and UE group-specific configuration information; the Cell-specific configuration information, the UE-specific configuration information, and the UE group-specific configuration information are carried in RRC signaling, dynamic signaling, or broadcast signaling.

[0323] Specifically, the type of the first configuration information is divided into any one or more of Cell-specific configuration information, UE-specific configuration information and UE group-specific configuration information; when the first configuration information type is Cell-specific configuration information, all first devices within the coverage of the same cell can adopt the first configuration information; when the first configuration information type is UE-specific configuration information, only specific first devices can receive the first configuration information, and which specific first devices are determined according to the UE-specific configuration information; when the first configuration information type is UEgroup-specific configuration information, only multiple specific first devices can receive the first configuration information, and which specific first devices can be determined by grouping according to first devices with the same capabilities. Regardless of whether the type of the first configuration information is any one or more of Cell-specific configuration information, UE-specific configuration information, and UE group-specific configuration information, it can be carried in RRC signaling, dynamic signaling or broadcast signaling, that is, it can be configured through RRC signaling, dynamic signaling or broadcast signaling. Among them, dynamic signaling includes downlink data signal or downlink control signal, downlink control signal can be a signal of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), downlink data signal can be a signal of physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). Broadcast signaling includes signaling of system information block (SIB) and physical broadcast channel (PBCH); system information block SIB includes multiple types, such as SIB1, SIB2, ..., SIB12, etc.

[0324] Similarly, the types of the second configuration information are also divided into three types: Cell-specific configuration information, UE-specific configuration information and UE group-specific configuration information; the functions, effects and configuration methods corresponding to different types are the same as those of the first configuration information, and will not be repeated here.

[0325] In some embodiments, the first configuration information and / or the second configuration information is activated through dynamic signaling, or the first configuration information and / or the second configuration information is deactivated through dynamic signaling.

[0326] Specifically, the first configuration information and / or the second configuration information may also be activated or deactivated through dynamic signaling. It can be understood that multiple sets of first configuration parameters are configured, and any one or more of the first configuration parameters may be activated or deactivated through dynamic signaling. Similarly, multiple sets of second configuration parameters may also be configured, and any one or more of the second configuration parameters may be activated or deactivated through dynamic signaling. In addition, a certain parameter or some parameters in the first configuration parameters may also be activated or deactivated through dynamic signaling. Similarly, a certain parameter or some parameters in the second configuration parameters may also be activated or deactivated through dynamic signaling.

[0327] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0328] Determine the type of the received second signal based on the type of the second signal in the second configuration information and the resource location of receiving the second signal; the type of the second signal includes a paging opportunity or a paging advance indication;

[0329] Based on the third configuration information sent by the network device, determining whether to configure paging advance indication configuration information; the paging advance indication configuration information is used to indicate the type of the second signal that the second device preferentially receives;

[0330] If the paging advance indication configuration information has been configured, the second device preferentially receives the paging advance indication at a resource location where the type of the second signal is a paging advance indication, and then determines whether to receive a paging message at a resource location of a paging opportunity associated with the paging advance indication based on the information carried by the paging advance indication; or,

[0331] If the paging advance indication configuration information is not configured, the second device receives a paging message at a resource location where the type of the second signal is a paging opportunity.

[0332] Specifically, the type of the second signal is also configured in the above-mentioned second configuration information. Therefore, while determining the resource location for receiving the second signal, the type of the received second signal can also be determined, where the type of the second signal includes a paging opportunity and a paging advance indication, that is, the type of the received second signal may be any one or a combination of a paging opportunity and a paging advance indication.

[0333] In addition, the network device will also send third configuration information, and it is necessary to determine which type of second signal the second device should preferentially receive based on the third configuration information.

[0334] Further based on the third configuration information sent by the network device, determining whether to configure the paging advance indication configuration information;

[0335] If the paging advance indication configuration information has been configured, that is, the network device indicates that the second signal of the paging advance indication type is preferentially received, then the second device preferentially receives the paging advance indication at the resource location of the second signal of the paging advance indication type, and then determines whether to receive the paging message at the resource location of the paging opportunity associated with the paging advance indication based on the information carried by the paging advance indication.

[0336] If the paging advance indication configuration information is not configured, the second device directly receives the paging message at the resource location where the second signal type is a paging opportunity.

[0337] Similarly, for the network device, if the paging advance indication configuration information has been configured in the third configuration information, the network device preferentially sends the paging advance indication, and carries the paging opportunity associated with it in the paging advance indication message, and sends the paging message to the second device at the corresponding paging opportunity;

[0338] If the paging advance indication configuration information is not configured in the third configuration information, the network device directly sends a paging message to the second device at the resource location of the paging opportunity.

[0339] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0340] Determine the type of the received second signal based on the type of the second signal in the second configuration information and the resource location of receiving the second signal; the type of the second signal includes a paging opportunity or a paging advance indication;

[0341] Based on the third configuration information sent by the network device, determine whether to configure a skip parameter and / or whether the configured skip parameter has been activated; the skip parameter is used to indicate whether to skip a paging advance indication opportunity and / or to indicate the type of the second signal that the second device preferentially receives;

[0342] If the skip parameter has been configured and / or the configured skip parameter has been activated, the second device receives a paging message at a resource location of the second signal type being a paging opportunity; or,

[0343] If the skip parameter is not configured and / or the configured skip parameter is not activated, the second device preferentially receives the paging advance indication at the resource location where the type of the second signal is the paging advance indication, and then determines whether to receive the paging message at the resource location of the paging opportunity associated with the paging advance indication based on the information carried by the paging advance indication.

[0344] Specifically, the type of the second signal is also configured in the above-mentioned second configuration information. Therefore, while determining the resource location for receiving the second signal, the type of the received second signal can also be determined, where the type of the second signal includes a paging opportunity and a paging advance indication, that is, the type of the received second signal may be any one or a combination of a paging opportunity and a paging advance indication.

[0345] In addition, the network device also sends third configuration information to the second device, and the second device determines which type of second signal to receive preferentially based on the third configuration information.

[0346] Further, based on the third configuration information sent by the network device, it is determined whether the skip parameter is configured and / or whether the configured skip parameter is activated; there are three situations:

[0347] Case 1: Whether to configure the skip parameter;

[0348] If the skip parameter is configured, it means that the skip parameter is effective. The skip parameter is used to indicate whether to skip the paging advance indication opportunity; that is, if the skip parameter is configured, it means that the paging prompt indication opportunity needs to be skipped; if the skip parameter is not configured, it means that the paging prompt indication opportunity does not need to be skipped.

[0349] Case 2: Whether the skip parameter is configured and whether the configured skip parameter is activated

[0350] If the skip parameter is configured, it only means that this configuration item exists, but it does not mean that this parameter is effective. It is also necessary to determine whether the configured skip parameter is activated to determine whether this parameter is effective. That is, if the skip parameter is configured, it means that the network side or the terminal side has this capability, and whether it is effective requires further determination of whether the skip parameter is activated. If the skip parameter is configured and activated, it means that the paging prompt indication opportunity needs to be skipped; if the skip parameter is configured and not activated, it means that the paging prompt indication opportunity does not need to be skipped.

[0351] Case 3: Is the configured skip parameter activated?

[0352] Similar to case 2, the configured skip parameter is activated, which means the skip parameter is configured and activated, and the configured skip parameter is inactivated, which means the skip parameter is configured and not activated. For the corresponding functions and effects, refer to the description in case 3. The configured skip parameter can be activated or deactivated through dynamic signaling.

[0353] Furthermore, if the skip parameter is configured, the configured skip parameter is activated, or the skip parameter is configured and activated, the second device receives a paging message at a resource location of the second signal of type paging opportunity;

[0354] On the contrary, if the skip parameter is not configured or the configured skip parameter is not activated, the second device preferentially receives the paging advance indication at the resource location where the type of the second signal is the paging advance indication, and then determines whether to receive the paging message at the resource location of the paging opportunity associated with the paging advance indication based on the information carried by the paging advance indication.

[0355] In some embodiments, the third configuration information includes one or more of the following:

[0356] Paging advance indication configuration information, used to indicate the type of the second signal that the second device preferentially receives;

[0357] The skip parameter is used to indicate whether to skip the paging advance indication opportunity, and / or to indicate the type of the second signal that the second device preferentially receives.

[0358] Specifically, the third configuration information is determined by the network device based on the reported receiving capability information, that is, the third configuration information is determined according to the version information of the communication standard supported by the second device included in the receiving capability information. The third configuration information includes one or more of the paging advance indication configuration information and the skip parameter.

[0359] The paging advance indication configuration information is used to indicate the type of the second signal that the second device preferentially receives;

[0360] The skip parameter is used to indicate whether to skip the paging advance indication opportunity, and / or to indicate the type of the second signal that the second device preferentially receives. There are multiple configurations of this parameter:

[0361] Case 1: If the skip parameter is configured, it means that the parameter is effective, that is, it is used to indicate the type of the second signal that the second device preferentially receives or to indicate to skip the paging advance indication opportunity; if the skip parameter is not configured, it means that the parameter is not effective, that is, the second device receives the second signal according to the existing process or indicates not to skip the paging advance indication opportunity.

[0362] Case 2: The skip parameter has been configured, but it does not mean that the parameter is effective. The configured skip parameter needs to be activated before it can take effect. The method of activating the configured skip parameter can be an indicator bit included in the skip parameter or through dynamic signaling. That is, the indicator bit in the skip parameter is 0 or 1 to indicate whether the configured skip parameter is activated, or the configured skip parameter is activated or deactivated through dynamic signaling.

[0363] The method for determining low-power access or transmission provided in an embodiment of the present application configures first configuration information and second configuration information of a network device, and determines the resource location of a first signal based on the first configuration information, and dynamically determines the resource location of a second signal based on the second configuration information, thereby reducing the delay of waiting for the second signal after the second device is awakened, and at the same time reducing the energy consumption overhead of the second device during the period of waiting for the second signal.

[0364] Figure 2 This is a second flow chart of a method for determining low-power access or transmission provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0365] Step 201: Determine first configuration information and / or second configuration information based on the acquired receiving capability information or service requirements;

[0366] The receiving capability information includes one or more of the following:

[0367] a type of receiver of the first device;

[0368] a sensitivity of a receiver of the first device;

[0369] The transition delay of the second device from the very low power consumption state to the active state;

[0370] version information of a communication standard supported by the second device;

[0371] The service demand includes one or more of the following: paging demand, data transmission demand, and signal transmission demand.

[0372] Specifically, the network device may determine the first configuration information and / or the second configuration information according to the receiving capability information reported by the first device and / or the second device, or the service demand.

[0373] There is an association or connection relationship between the first device and the second device, and the first device and the second device can obtain each other's receiving capability information, that is, the first device can obtain the receiving capability information of the second device, and report it to the network device together with the receiving capability information of the first device; or, the second device can obtain the receiving capability information of the first device, and report it to the network device together with the receiving capability information of the second device; or, the first device reports its own receiving capability information to the network device, and the second device reports its own receiving capability information to the network device, and the first device and the second device are associated.

[0374] Then the network devices can all learn that the reported receiving capability information includes: one or more of: the type of the first device's receiver, the sensitivity of the first device's receiver, the transition delay of the second device from an extremely low power consumption state to an activated state, and the version information of the communication standard supported by the second device.

[0375] Alternatively, the first configuration information and / or the second configuration information is determined according to a service requirement including any one of a paging requirement, a data transmission requirement, and a signal transmission requirement.

[0376] The method for determining low-power access or transmission provided in the embodiment of the present application is that the network device flexibly determines the first configuration information and / or the second configuration information through the reported receiving capability information or service requirements, which is used for the first device to determine the resource location of the first signal based on the first configuration information, and / or for the second device to dynamically determine the resource location of the second signal based on the second configuration information, thereby reducing the delay of the second device waiting for the second signal after waking up, and at the same time reducing the energy consumption overhead of the second device during the period of waiting for the second signal.

[0377] In some embodiments, determining the first configuration information and / or the second configuration information based on the acquired receiving capability information or service requirements includes:

[0378] If receiving capability information reported by the target device is received, determining the first configuration information and / or the second configuration information to be sent to the target device based on the receiving capability information reported by the target device; or,

[0379] If the receiving capability information reported by the target device is not received, determining the first configuration information and / or the second configuration information based on the service requirements;

[0380] The target device is at least one of all first devices and / or all second devices within the coverage of the network device.

[0381] Specifically, there are multiple first devices and / or second devices within the coverage of the network device, and there is an association relationship between the first device and the second device. Any first device or second device within the coverage of the network device is used as the target device.

[0382] If the network device receives the receiving capability information reported by the target device, then based on the reported receiving capability information, the first configuration information and / or the second configuration information to be sent to the target device is determined. For example, after the first device learns the receiving capability information of the second device associated with it, the receiving capability information reported by the first device includes its own receiving capability information and the receiving capability information of the second device, and the network device determines the first configuration information and the second configuration information respectively according to the receiving capability information; or, the first device reports its own receiving capability information or the second device reports its own receiving capability information, so that the receiving capability information received by the network device only includes the receiving capability information of the first device or the receiving capability information of the second device, thereby determining the first configuration information according to the receiving capability information of the first device, or determining the second configuration information according to the receiving capability information of the second device.

[0383] If the network device does not receive the receiving capability information reported by the target device, the first configuration information and the second configuration information are determined based on service requirements, such as paging requirements, data transmission requirements, and signal transmission requirements.

[0384] In some embodiments, determining the first configuration information and / or the second configuration information to be sent to the target device based on the receiving capability information reported by the target device includes:

[0385] Determine, based on the type of the receiver of the first device and / or the sensitivity of the receiver of the first device included in the receiving capability information, first configuration information to be sent to the first device; the first configuration information is used by the first device to determine a resource location for receiving a first signal, and the first signal is used to instruct the first device to wake up the second device;

[0386] Based on the transition delay of the second device from an extremely low power consumption state to an activated state included in the receiving capability information, second configuration information to be sent to the second device is determined; the second configuration information is used by the second device to determine a resource location for receiving a second signal.

[0387] Specifically, if the received receiving capability information includes the type of receiver of the first device and / or the sensitivity of the receiver of the first device, the network device determines the first configuration information to be sent to the first device based on the receiving capability information; after the first configuration information is sent to the first device, the first device determines the resource location for receiving the first signal based on the first configuration information, and the first signal instructs the first device to wake up the second device.

[0388] If the received receiving capability information includes the transition delay of the second device from the extremely low power consumption state to the activated state, the network device determines the second configuration information to be sent to the second device based on the receiving capability information. The second device determines the resource location for receiving the second signal based on the second configuration information.

[0389] Here, the first device and the second device are associated with each other.

[0390] In some embodiments, the first configuration information includes one or more of the following:

[0391] a time domain position of the first signal;

[0392] The frequency domain position or frequency domain synchronization grid of the first signal;

[0393] The symbol length occupied by the first signal;

[0394] A mapping method of the first signal in the time-frequency resources;

[0395] the number of repetitions or the maximum number of transmissions of the first signal;

[0396] the number of second devices associated with the first signal;

[0397] The number of second device groups associated with the first signal;

[0398] The number of resource locations of the second signal associated with the first signal.

[0399] Specifically, the first configuration information is determined by the network device and is used to configure relevant parameters for receiving the first signal, and specifically includes one or more of the following:

[0400] The time domain position of the first signal indicates that the first signal is distributed at multiple specific positions in the time domain, which can be periodically distributed or non-periodically distributed according to multiple specific positions configured by this parameter. The specific starting distribution position, ending distribution position, and duration of the first signal in the time domain of each period can also be configured, which can be understood as transmitting the first signal in segments within a period, or transmitting the first signal repeatedly within a period, etc.

[0401] The frequency domain position of the first signal indicates that the first signal is distributed in multiple specific positions in the frequency domain, which can be periodically distributed or non-periodically distributed according to multiple specific positions configured by this parameter. The specific starting distribution frequency point, ending distribution frequency point, first bandwidth, etc. of the first signal in the frequency domain of each period can also be configured, which can be understood as transmitting the first signal in parallel through multiple frequency bands in one period or repeatedly transmitting the first signal through multiple frequency bands in one period.

[0402] The frequency domain grid of the first signal and the frequency domain position of the first signal play the same role, but are expressed in different ways, indicating the central frequency point of the first signal distribution and the corresponding bandwidth.

[0403] The symbol length occupied by the first signal indicates the total number of symbols occupied by a physical resource unit of a signal.

[0404] The mapping manner of the first signal in the time-frequency resources indicates the mapping relationship between each first signal and the time-frequency resources.

[0405] The number of repeated transmissions or the maximum number of transmissions of the first signal indicates the number of repeated transmissions of the first signal sent by the network device, or the maximum number of transmissions of the first signal sent by the network device. It can be understood as the number of repeated transmissions or the maximum number of transmissions that the network device can send the first signal. After the number of repeated transmissions or the maximum number of transmissions is reached, the network side no longer sends the first signal.

[0406] The number of second devices associated with the first signal is mainly used to configure how many second devices are associated with the first device. The configuration information can be used to determine how many second devices are awakened by the first device receiving the first signal, and which second devices are awakened specifically need to be determined based on the identifiers of the second devices associated with the first device. For the first device, its associated second devices are already configured.

[0407] The number of second device groups associated with the first signal is mainly used to configure how many second device groups are associated with the first device. The configuration information can be used to determine how many second device groups are awakened by the first device receiving the first signal, and which second device groups are awakened specifically need to be determined based on the identifier of the second device associated with the first device. For the first device, its associated second device group is already configured. In addition, the number of second devices associated with the first signal and the number of second device groups associated with the first signal can also be used together to configure which second device or devices in which second device groups the first device is associated with.

[0408] The number of second signal resource positions associated with the first signal, and the first signal can wake up the second device and / or second device group on the associated second signal resources.

[0409] The first configuration information can dynamically determine the resource location at which the first device receives the first signal through a variety of configuration parameters, which is more flexible than the existing fixed configuration.

[0410] In some embodiments, the time domain position of the first signal includes one or more of the following:

[0411] a receiving period of the first signal;

[0412] A time domain starting receiving position of the first signal within a receiving cycle;

[0413] A time domain end receiving position of the first signal within a receiving cycle;

[0414] A first duration of the first signal in a receiving cycle;

[0415] The frequency domain position of the first signal includes one or more of the following:

[0416] a receiving period of the first signal;

[0417] A frequency domain starting receiving position of the first signal within a receiving cycle;

[0418] The frequency domain end receiving position of the first signal within one receiving cycle;

[0419] A first bandwidth in the frequency domain of the first signal within a receiving cycle.

[0420] Specifically, the time domain position of the first signal can be represented by any one or more parameters of the receiving period of the first signal, the time domain starting receiving position, the ending receiving position and the first duration within a receiving period. Among them, in the time domain, the time domain starting receiving position within a receiving period can be represented as the time domain starting receiving moment within a receiving period, the time domain ending receiving position within a receiving period can be represented as the time domain ending receiving moment within a receiving period, and the first duration within a receiving period can be represented as the duration of receiving the first signal within a receiving period, and the first duration is usually less than the receiving period of the first signal.

[0421] The frequency domain position of the first signal can be represented by any one or more parameters of the receiving period of the first signal, the starting receiving position of the frequency domain of the first signal in one receiving period, the ending receiving position of the frequency domain of the first signal in one receiving period, and the first bandwidth of the frequency domain of the first signal in one receiving period. Among them, in the frequency domain, the starting receiving position of the frequency domain in one receiving period can be represented as the starting receiving frequency point of the frequency domain in one receiving period, the ending receiving position of the time domain in one receiving period can be represented as the ending receiving frequency point of the time domain in one receiving period, and the first bandwidth of the frequency domain in one receiving period can be represented as the frequency range of receiving the first signal in one receiving period.

[0422] In some embodiments, the second configuration information includes one or more of the following:

[0423] A reference time domain offset, used to indicate a time domain offset between a resource position corresponding to a reference point and a resource position at which the second device receives the second signal; the resource position corresponding to the reference point is a resource position at which the first device receives the first first signal or a resource position at which the first device receives the last first signal;

[0424] First search space configuration information, used to configure a first period for receiving the second signal, a starting receiving position offset and a second duration within a single first period, and a type of the second signal;

[0425] Second search space configuration information, used to configure a second period for receiving the second signal, a starting receiving position offset and a third duration within a single second period, and a type of the second signal;

[0426] Receiving window configuration information, used to configure any one of a receiving window start time, a receiving window duration, and a receiving window end time or a combination thereof; the receiving window is used to receive the second signal;

[0427] The number of times the second signal is received or the maximum number of times it is received.

[0428] Specifically, the second configuration information may be configured by one or more of the following parameters:

[0429] The time domain offset between the resource position corresponding to the reference point and the resource position for receiving the second signal; the resource position corresponding to the reference point here is the resource position for receiving the first first signal, or the resource position for receiving the last first signal.

[0430] The first search space configuration information is the existing search space configuration information, which is used to configure the first period for receiving the second signal, the starting receiving position offset and the second duration within a single first period, and the type of the second signal.

[0431] The second search space configuration information is newly added search space configuration information, which is different from the first search space configuration information. The name of the second search space configuration information is different from the name of the first search space configuration information. In addition, the values ​​of certain configuration parameters in the second search space configuration information are different from the values ​​of the same configuration parameters in the first search space configuration information. The second search space configuration parameters are used to configure the second period for receiving the second signal, the starting reception position offset and the third duration within a single second period, and the type of the second signal; of course, the aggregation level, the starting reception symbol for receiving the second signal with finer granularity, etc. can also be configured.

[0432] The receiving window configuration information is used to configure any one or a combination of the receiving window starting time, the receiving window duration and the ending time; the receiving window is used to receive the second signal; that is, a time window configured to receive the second signal. Unlike the first search space configuration information or the second search space configuration information, the receiving window configuration information is not periodic. Specifically, the specific duration of the receiving window can be determined by configuring the starting time and the ending time of the receiving window, or the starting time and the duration, or the duration and the ending time. The duration of the receiving window here can be expressed in different time units;

[0433] The maximum number of times the second signal is received is configured in the second configuration information to prevent the second device from being in an awake state all the time, waiting to receive the second signal sent by the network device, which consumes a lot of power.

[0434] The number of times the second signal is received is mainly used to configure the second device to receive the second signal for a fixed number of times, that is, the second signal will no longer be received after the number of consecutive receptions reaches this value.

[0435] In some embodiments, the duration of the receiving window is a plurality of unit durations determined in units of system frames, time slots, symbols or paging cycles.

[0436] Specifically, the duration of the receiving window may be a system frame, a time slot, a symbol or a paging cycle as a unit, and may be a plurality of system frames, a plurality of time slots, a plurality of symbols or a plurality of paging cycles determined.

That is, the second device is configured to preferentially receive the paging advance indication, or preferentially receive the paging opportunity. And the determined third configuration information is sent to the first device and / or the second device.

[0449] In some embodiments, the third configuration information includes one or more of the following:

[0450] Paging advance indication configuration information, used to indicate the type of the second signal that the second device preferentially receives;

[0458] In order to more clearly illustrate the method for determining low-power access or transmission provided by the embodiment of the present application, the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application is further introduced through several specific examples below.

[0459] Initial state: the first device is in an ultra-deep sleep state, and the second device is in a dormant state.

[0460] Example 1: Determine a resource location for receiving the second signal by receiving window configuration information in the second configuration information.

[0461] Step 1: The base station side configures first configuration information and second configuration information, where the first configuration information is used to determine the sending and receiving resource location of the first signal (LP-WUS signal), and the second configuration information is used to determine the sending and receiving resource location of the second signal (PO / PEI-O).

[0469] The type of the first configuration information includes UE (group) specific configuration information or Cell specific configuration information, and the type of the second configuration information includes UE (group) specific configuration information or Cell specific configuration information.

[0470] Cell-specific configuration information can be configured through any one or more of RRC signaling configuration, dynamic signaling and broadcast signaling, where dynamic signaling includes PDCCH, PDSCH, etc.; broadcast signaling includes SIB X, PBCH, etc.; in addition, dynamic signaling can be used to activate a certain Cell-specific configuration information or some Cell-specific configuration information, or to deactivate a certain Cell-specific configuration information or some Cell-specific configuration information.

[0471] Similarly, the UE group-specific configuration information and the Cell-specific configuration information can be configured through any one or more of RRC signaling configuration, dynamic signaling and broadcast signaling, and activated and / or deactivated through dynamic signaling.

[0472] 1.2 The first configuration information is used to determine the reception of the first signal (LP-WUS), and the LP-WUS included in the first device is a dedicated signal received by the LP-WUR. The first configuration information may include one or more of the following:

[0473] a receiving period of the first signal in the time domain and / or frequency domain;

[0474] The starting receiving position, duration, and ending receiving position of the first signal within the period;

[0475] The symbol length occupied by the first signal;

The second signal includes PO / PEI-O, and the second configuration information may include at least one of the following:

[0482] 1) Existing search space (SS) configuration information, used to configure a period for receiving the second signal, a starting receiving position offset, and a duration;

[0483] 2) New search space (New SS) configuration information, which is used to configure the period of receiving the second signal, the starting receiving position offset, and the duration; the difference from the existing search space related configuration parameters is mainly the name. For example, the name of the existing search space configuration information is PO-SS or PEI-SS, and the name of the new search space configuration information is PO-SS-Rel-18 or PEI-SS-Rel-18;

[0484] 3) First receiving window configuration parameters: receiving the second signal within the first receiving window, and not receiving the second signal outside the first receiving window. The relevant configuration parameters may include at least one of the following:

[0485] The starting time of the first receiving window may be based on a time domain offset LP-WUS_offset between a resource location for receiving the first or last first signal and a resource location for receiving the second signal;

[0486] The duration of the first receiving window may be M1 frames, M1 time slots, M1 symbols or N paging cycles, where M1 is a positive integer and can be pre-configured by RRC; N is a positive integer and can be determined by the maximum number of received paging times pre-configured by RRC or predefined by the protocol.

[0487] The end time of the first receiving window may be a specific frame, a time slot, or a symbol.

[0488] 4) A time domain offset LP-WUS_offset between a resource location for receiving the first or last first signal and a resource location for receiving the second signal.

[0489] 5) The number of times the second signal is received or the maximum number of times it is received.

[0490] Step 2: The base station side sends a first signal (LP-WUS) carrying wake-up information according to the paging requirement to instruct the first device to wake up the second device, so that the second device is in a state where it can receive paging information and / or PEI, and determines a first receiving window for receiving the second signal according to the second configuration information.

[0491] Step 3: The first device (LP-WUR) wakes up the second device (MR) after receiving the first signal (LP-WUS) carrying the wake-up information. The second device determines the starting position of the first receiving window according to the receiving position of the first signal (LP-WUS), and determines the resource position for receiving the second signal (PO / PEI) within the first receiving window and receives it.

[0492] 3.1 The second device determines the resource location of the first receiving window according to the receiving location of the first signal:

[0493] The first receiving position and / or the last receiving position of the first signal is the resource position of the reference point, and the resource position offset from the resource position of the reference point by LP-WUS_offset is used as the starting position of the first window;

[0494] Then, according to the configuration parameters of the first receiving window in the second configuration information and the starting position of the first window, the duration and the ending position of the first receiving window are determined;

[0495] 3.2 The second device determines the receiving resource location of the second signal in the first receiving window according to the existing search space (SS) configuration information and / or the new search space (New SS) configuration information in the second configuration information. Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of resource location distribution for receiving a second signal in a receiving window provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0496] Step 4: Determine the type of the second signal to be received preferentially according to the third configuration information;

[0497] According to the type of the second signal configured in the second configuration information and the resource location for receiving the second signal determined in the above steps, the type of the second signal received at the resource location for receiving the second signal can be determined; the type of the second signal includes a paging opportunity and a paging advance indication.

[0498] and determining, based on the third configuration information sent by the network device, whether the paging advance indication configuration information is configured in the third configuration information;

[0499] If the paging advance indication configuration information is configured, the second device preferentially receives the paging advance indication at a resource location where the second signal type is the paging advance indication, and determines whether to receive a paging message at a resource location of a paging opportunity associated with the paging advance indication based on information carried by the paging advance indication;

[0500] If the paging advance indication configuration information is not configured, the second device receives a paging message at a resource location where the type of the second signal is a paging opportunity.

[0501] Alternatively, based on the third configuration information sent by the network device, determining whether the skip parameter PEI_skip_enable is configured in the third configuration information, and / or whether the configured skip parameter PEI_skip_enable is activated;

[0502] There are two cases here:

[0503] Case 1: Whether the skip parameter is configured, that is, whether the skip parameter is effective. For example, if the skip parameter is configured, it means that the skip parameter has activated the parameter; if the skip parameter is not configured, it means that the skip parameter is not activated;

[0504] Case 2: Whether the skip parameter is configured does not mean whether the skip parameter is effective. If the skip parameter is configured, you need to activate the configured skip parameter to ensure that the skip parameter is effective.

[0505] If the skip parameter has been configured, indicating that the skip parameter has taken effect, or the skip parameter has been configured and the configured skip parameter has been activated, also indicating that the skip parameter has taken effect, or the configured skip parameter has been activated, equivalent to the case where the skip parameter has been configured and the configured skip parameter has been activated, then the second device receives a paging message at a resource location where the type of the second signal is a paging opportunity;

[0506] If the skip parameter is not configured, it means that the skip parameter is not effective; or, the skip parameter is configured and the configured skip parameter is not activated, which also means that the skip parameter is not effective; or, the configured skip parameter is not activated, which is equivalent to the situation that the skip parameter is configured and the configured skip parameter is not activated, then the second device preferentially receives the paging advance indication at the resource location where the type of the second signal is the paging advance indication, and then determines whether to receive the paging message at the resource location of the paging opportunity associated with the paging advance indication based on the information carried by the paging advance indication.

[0507] Example 2: Determining a resource location where a second device receives a second signal based on the second configuration information and the resource location where the first signal is received

[0508] Step 1: The base station side configures first configuration information and second configuration information, the first configuration information is used to determine the sending and receiving resource location of the first signal (LP-WUS), and the second configuration information is used to determine the sending and receiving resource location of the second signal (PO / PEI-O).

[0509] Step 2: The base station side sends a first signal (LP-WUS) carrying wake-up information according to the paging requirement to instruct the first device to wake up the second device. The second device is in a state where it can receive the second signal. The time domain offset of the resource location for sending the second signal from the resource location for sending the first signal is LP-WUS_offset.

[0510] Step 3: The second device determines the resource location for receiving the second signal (PEI and / or PO) according to the resource location for receiving the first signal, and may adopt one of the following methods:

[0511] Method 1: The second device determines the resource location for receiving the second signal according to the resource location for receiving the first signal and the new search space configuration information in the second configuration information; Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This is one of the schematic diagrams of resource location distribution for receiving the first signal and the second signal provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0512] Firstly, determining a starting system frame (starting paging frame) for receiving the second signal, and then determining a symbol position for receiving the second signal in the starting paging frame, including:

[0513] Based on the received SIB1 message, obtain one or more of a discontinuous reception cycle or a paging cycle T, the number N of paging frames in the paging cycle, and the total number Ns of paging opportunities in a single paging frame;

[0514] Obtaining a time domain offset in the second configuration information, that is, obtaining a time domain offset between a resource location of a reference point and a resource location for receiving a second signal, wherein the resource location of the reference point is a resource location at which the first device receives a first first signal or a resource location at which the last first signal is received;

[0515] Determine the system frame where the resource location corresponding to the reference point is located;

[0516] Determine that the first input parameter is any one or more of a discontinuous reception cycle or a paging cycle T, the number N of paging frames in the paging cycle, a system frame in which a resource location corresponding to a reference point is located, and a time domain offset in the second configuration information;

[0517] According to the first rule and the first input parameter, the system frame where the starting resource position for receiving the second signal is located is determined as the target paging frame. The system frame where the paging opportunity is located is the paging frame, and the system frame where the starting resource position for receiving the second signal is located is correspondingly determined to be the target paging frame. The first rule is used to define the correspondence between different input parameters and the system frame where the starting resource position for receiving the second signal is located.

[0518] In the target paging frame, based on the index calculation rule and the second input parameter, the target index value corresponding to the symbol position of receiving the second signal is determined; the second input parameter here includes one or more of the identifier of the second device, the number N of paging frames in the paging cycle, and the total number Ns of paging opportunities in a single paging frame; the index calculation rule is used to define the relationship between different input parameters and the index values ​​corresponding to the symbol position of receiving the second signal.

[0519] According to the starting reception symbol position set firstPDCCH-MonitoringOccasionOfPO configured in SIB1, a paging opportunity matching the target index value is determined; and the paging opportunity is used as a resource position for receiving a second signal.

[0520] In some embodiments, the first rule satisfies the formula:

[0521] (LP-WUS_SFN+LP-WUS_offset+SFN)mod T=T div N;

[0522] Wherein, LP-WUS_SFN represents a system frame (SFN) where the resource location of the reference point is located, and the resource location of the reference point is a resource location for receiving the first / last first signal;

[0523] LP-WUS_offset represents a time domain offset between a resource position corresponding to a reference point and a resource position at which the second device receives a second signal, and is configured through second configuration information;

[0524] SFN represents the paging frame where the second signal start receiving resource location is located;

[0525] T represents a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle, an enhanced discontinuous reception cycle (eDRX) cycle, or a paging cycle, which can be configured through any one or more of SIB1 messages, RRC signaling, and NAS signaling;

[0526] N represents the number of paging frames in the paging cycle, which is configured through the SIB1 message.

[0527] In some embodiments, the formula corresponding to the index calculation rule is:

[0528] i_s = floor(UE_ID / N) mod Ns;

[0529] Among them, UE_ID represents the identifier of the second device; N represents the number of paging frames in the paging cycle, floor() represents rounding down, mod() represents modulo, Ns is the number of a single paging frame in the paging opportunity; i_s represents the target index value corresponding to the symbol position of receiving the second signal.

[0530] The starting reception position of the paging early indication (PEI) associated with the paging opportunity (PO) is determined by the pei-FrameOffset and firstPDCCH-MonitoringOccasionOfPEI-O configuration parameters in the existing SIB1 message.

[0531] Method 2: If no SIB1 message is received, the resource location for receiving the second signal is determined according to the new search space configuration information in the second configuration information and the resource location for receiving the first signal.

[0532] A time domain offset LP-WUS_offset of a starting resource position for receiving the second signal from a resource position for receiving the first / last first signal, wherein the unit of LP-WUS_offset may be a frame / time slot / symbol;

[0533] Determine a system frame where a resource location for receiving the first signal is located as the first system frame;

[0534] In the first system frame, the resource position for receiving the second signal is determined in sequence according to the second period configured by the second search space configuration information in the second configuration information and the time domain offset in the second configuration information.

[0535] The second search space configuration information is mainly used to configure the time slot position for receiving the second signal or the symbol position for receiving the second signal to be periodically determined in a single system frame. Whether it is the time slot position or the symbol position is determined based on the granularity of the resource position for receiving the first signal. If the resource position for receiving the first signal is in time slots, then the resource position for receiving the second signal is also in time slots. If the resource position for receiving the first signal is in symbols, then the resource position for receiving the second signal is also in symbols. Thus, the resource position for receiving the second signal is determined.

[0536] Step 4: Determine the type of the second signal to be received preferentially according to the third configuration information; the specific implementation process is the same as that in Example 1 and will not be repeated here.

[0537] Example 3: When a fourth duration associated with the first signal and used to receive the second signal is further configured in the second configuration information, the resource location for receiving the second signal is determined directly according to the second configuration information.

[0538] Step 1: The base station side configures first configuration information and second configuration information, the first configuration information is used to determine the sending and receiving resource location of the first signal (LP-WUS), and the second configuration information is used to determine the sending and receiving resource location of the second signal (PO / PEI-O).

[0539] Step 2: The base station side sends a first signal (LP-WUS) carrying wake-up information according to the paging requirement to instruct the first device to wake up the second device. The second device is in a state where it can receive the second signal. The time domain offset of the resource location for sending the second signal from the resource location for sending the first signal is LP-WUS_offset.

[0540] Step 3: Based on the first search space configuration information in the second configuration information, first determine the resource location for receiving the second signal, and then determine the resource location for receiving the first signal according to the fourth duration associated with the first signal for receiving the second signal, specifically including:

[0541] Obtaining a first cycle of first search space configuration information in second configuration information;

[0542] In each first period, taking the start time of each period as the starting point, and determining the resource position for receiving the second signal in sequence according to the time domain offset in the second configuration information;

[0543] Based on the fourth duration and the time domain offset in the second configuration information, and the resource location for receiving the target second signal, determine the resource location for receiving all the first signals; Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5This is the second schematic diagram of resource location distribution for receiving the first signal and the second signal provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0544] The type of the above-mentioned first configuration information includes one or more of Cell-specific configuration information, UE-specific configuration information, and UE group-specific configuration information; the type of the second configuration information includes one or more of Cell-specific configuration information, UE-specific configuration information, and UE group-specific configuration information.

[0545] Step 4: Determine the type of the second signal to be received preferentially according to the third configuration information; the specific implementation process is the same as that in Example 1 and will not be repeated here.

[0546] At a resource location for receiving the first signal, the first signal is first received, and then at a resource location for receiving the second signal, the second signal is received.

[0547] When starting to receive the first signal, count whether the number of times the first signal is received reaches the number of repeated transmissions or the maximum number of transmissions of the first signal configured in the first configuration information. If so, stop receiving the first signal. If not, continue to receive the first signal.

[0548] Similarly, when starting to receive the second signal, the consecutive number of times the second signal is not received is counted to see whether it reaches the maximum number of times the second signal is received configured in the second configuration information. If so, the second device enters the sleep state again. If not, the second device continues to receive the second signal.

[0549] In addition, the first device and the second device have an associated relationship and can obtain each other's receiving capability information. The receiving capability information is reported by the first device, the second device, or the first device and the second device. The network device determines the first configuration information, the second configuration information, and the third configuration information based on the received receiving capability information.
