[0089] In some embodiments, the core network device may be a device including a first device, a second device, etc., or may be a plurality of devices or a group of devices, respectively including all or part of the above-mentioned first device and / or second device, etc. The first device and / or the second device may be virtual or physical. The core network may include, for example, at least one of an Evolved Packet Core (EPC), a 5G Core Network (5GCN), a Next Generation Core (NGC), and a 6G Core Network (6GCN).

[0090] It can be understood that the information processing system described in the embodiment of the present disclosure is for the purpose of more clearly illustrating the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure, and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure. A person skilled in the art can know that with the evolution of the system architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0091] The following embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to Figure 1 The information processing system 100 or a portion thereof is shown but is not limited thereto. Figure 1 The various entities shown are examples, and the information processing system may include Figure 1 All or part of the subject, and may also include Figure 1 For entities other than the above, the number and form of each entity are arbitrary, and the connection relationship between the entities is an example. The entities may be connected or disconnected, and the connection may be in any manner, which may be direct or indirect, and may be wired or wireless.

[0092] The embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE-Advanced (LTE-A), LTE-Beyond (LTE-B), SUPER 3G, IMT-Advanced, 4th generation mobile communication system (4G), 5th generation mobile communication system (5G), 6th generation mobile communication system (6G), 5G New Radio (NR), Future Radio Access (FRA), New Radio Access Technology (RAT), New Radio (NR), New Radio access (NX), Future generation radio access (FX), Global System for Mobile communications (GSM (registered trademark)), CDMA2000, Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.20, Ultra-WideBand (UWB), Bluetooth (registered trademark), Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) network, Device-to-Device (D2D) system, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) system, Internet of Things (IoT) system, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X), systems using other communication methods, next-generation systems based on them, etc. In addition, multiple systems can also be combined (for example, a combination of LTE or LTE-A and 5G, a combination of 5G and 5G, a combination of 5G and 6G, etc.) for application.

[0093] In some embodiments, a separate transceiver (low power wake-up receiver, LP-WUR) (LR-WUR is referred to as LR) is introduced to receive a power-saving signal (e.g., a low power wake-up signal (low power Wakeup Signal, LP-WUS)). For example, the UE monitors the wake-up signal sent by the base station through a separate transceiver (e.g., a low power module) in an idle state. If the UE receives the wake-up signal, the UE will turn on the paging physical downlink control channel (Physical Downlink Control Channel, PDCCH) monitoring function of the main transceiver (main receiver, MR) (e.g., the main communication module); or, if the wake-up signal is not received, the UE will not turn on the main transceiver.

[0094] In some embodiments, a UE supporting LP-WUR introduces a new measurement reference signal, such as a Low Power Synchronization Signal (LP-SS), and LP-WUR performs measurements on LP-SS to ensure synchronization. When the UE is in an idle or inactive state, it can perform RRM measurements of the service cell based on LP-SS. At this time, the MR's measurement may be fully offloaded to the LR (ie, case 1), or partially offloaded to the LR (ie, case 3), and the MR is performing relaxed measurements; the case in which the MR is performing relaxed measurements is shown in Table 1 below.

[0095] RRM Measurement Situation Index MR service cell measurement MR neighbor cell measurement LR measurement case1: Uninstall all closure closure Open case3: Partial uninstall Start relaxation measurement Start relaxation measurement Open

[0096] Table 1

[0097] In some embodiments, a wake-up delay for waking up the second transceiver (i.e., MR) to monitor the paging message after the terminal receives the wake-up signal in case 1 is defined: the minimum gap time between LP-WUS reception and MR to start PDCCH monitoring (i.e., Definition of wake-up delay: Minimum gap time between LP-WUS reception and MR to start PDCCH monitoring).

[0098] Optionally, the delay includes the sum of the following two parts: a ramp-up delay and a synchronization delay; the ramp-up delay is the delay required to power on the MR, for example, including startup or boot and memory loading delays.

[0099] For example, ramp-up delay may include MR hardware coordination (e.g., boot, memory load, etc.) delay (i.e., Ramp-uptime may consist of the procedure for [main radio hardware tune on eg, boot, memory load and etc.]); synchronization or resynchronization delay includes the delay for MR to resynchronize with the serving gNB (i.e., Time for sync / re-sync consists of the procedure for [main radio to re-synchronization with the serving gNB etc.]).

[0100] The transition of MR from ultra-deep sleep state to active / microsleep state is the sum of ramp-up delay and synchronization or resynchronization delay.

[0101] However, in case 3, if the LR is used to monitor the wake-up signal (LP-WUS), the wake-up delay of waking up the MR for paging message after the terminal receives the wake-up signal may be different from the wake-up delay of case 1, so the MR is already in the on state. Therefore, it is necessary to redefine the delay (i.e., wake-up delay) of the terminal in case 3 and other scenarios.

[0102] In some embodiments, the UE may be a terminal, or the terminal may be a UE.

[0103] like Figure 2 FIG. 1 is an interactive schematic diagram of an information processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to an information processing method used in an information processing system 100, and the method includes:

[0104] Step S2101: The terminal determines the capabilities supported by the terminal.

[0105] In some embodiments, the capability includes at least one of the following: a first capability and a second capability; the first capability refers to the capability in the current state; the second capability refers to the capability supported in the current state.

[0106] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the capability of the terminal to support different states, where the capability is the first capability.

[0107] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the capabilities supported by the terminal in different states, where the capabilities are second capabilities.

[0108] Optionally, the state of the terminal refers to: whether the first transceiver and / or the second transceiver of the terminal is turned on.

[0109] Exemplarily, the first transceiver is used to receive a wake-up signal, and the wake-up signal is used to wake up the second transceiver of the terminal.

[0110] Exemplarily, the wake-up signal may be any low-power wake-up signal or a low-power power-saving signal. Exemplarily, the wake-up signal may be a low-power wake-up signal (Low Power Wake Up Signal, LP-WUS) or a power-saving downlink control information (DCI for power saving, DCP) signal. Exemplarily, the name of the wake-up signal is not limited, and it may be, for example, a low-power power-saving signal, a low-power power-saving signal, a low-power wake-up signal or a low-power wake-up signal.

[0111] Exemplarily, the first transceiver may be a separate transceiver; and / or, the second transceiver may be a main transceiver.

[0112] Exemplarily, the first transceiver and the second transceiver may have the functions of receiving and transmitting at the same time; or, the first transceiver and the second transceiver may only have the function of receiving.

[0113] Exemplarily, the power consumption of the first transceiver is less than the power consumption of the second transceiver. The power consumption of the first transceiver is less than the power consumption of the second transceiver, which can be: the power consumed by the first transceiver to receive and / or send information is less than the power consumption consumed by the second transceiver to receive and / or send information. For example, the first transceiver consumes less power to decode each signal than the second transceiver to decode the same signal.

[0114] Illustratively, the structure of the first transceiver is very simple relative to the structure of the second transceiver.

[0115] Exemplarily, the first transceiver may be a first receiver; and / or, the second transceiver may be a second receiver.

[0116] Exemplarily, the first transceiver is an auxiliary transceiver, and the second transceiver is a main transceiver. The auxiliary transceiver is used to assist the main transceiver in receiving and / or sending information.

[0118] Optionally, the second state may include a first type second state or a second type second state. Exemplarily, the first type second state may be a first sub-state; the second type second state may be a second sub-state. Exemplarily, the first type second state may be state 2-1, and the second type second state may be state 2-2.

[0119] Exemplarily, the first state is a state in which the first transceiver of the terminal is turned on and the second transceiver of the terminal is in a dormant state.

[0120] Exemplarily, the second state is a state in which the first transceiver of the terminal is turned on and the second transceiver of the terminal is in an activated state.

[0121] Exemplarily, the third state is: the second transceiver of the terminal is in an activated state. In the third state, the first transceiver does not monitor the wake-up signal, and / or the first transceiver performs or does not perform serving cell measurement.

[0122] Exemplarily, the fourth state is: the second transceiver of the terminal is in an activated state.

[0123] Exemplarily, when the terminal supports the first state, it also supports at least one of the following capabilities: using the first transceiver to monitor the wake-up signal, using the first transceiver to measure the service cell, stopping using the second transceiver to monitor the paging message, and stopping using the second transceiver to measure the service cell and / or neighboring cell.

[0128] Optionally, the first capability supported by the terminal may be one of the following: a capability of supporting a first state, a capability of supporting a second state, a capability of supporting a third state, and a capability of supporting a fourth state.

[0129] Optionally, the second capability supported by the terminal may be at least one of the following: the ability to support monitoring of wake-up signals using the first transceiver, the ability to support measuring service cells using the first transceiver, the ability to support monitoring of paging messages using the second transceiver, and the ability to support measuring service cells and / or neighboring cells using the second transceiver.

[0132] Exemplarily, the first state of the connected state is a state of using LP-WUS to monitor PDCCH. At this time, LP-WUS is configured before the duration of DRX. When the terminal is in the first state of the connected state, it can also support the following capabilities: decide whether to turn on and monitor the duration of subsequent DRX according to whether a wake-up signal is detected in LP-WUS.

[0133] Exemplarily, the second state of the connected state is a state of using LPP-WUS to monitor PDCCH. At this time, LP-WUS is configured outside the DRX activation time. When the terminal is in the second state of the connected state, it can also support the following capabilities: whether to start monitoring the subsequent DRX activation duration based on whether a wake-up signal is detected in LP-WUS. Here, the activation duration can be a newly defined timer or an inactive timer. The timer corresponding to the activation duration will be restarted when a new downlink control information (Downlink Control Information, DCI) is received, with the purpose of extending the activation duration. At this time, the duration (onduration) timer of the long-cycle and / or short-cycle DRX will not be turned on or will not be used for PDCCH monitoring; at this time, the duration (onduration) of the long-cycle and / or short-cycle DRX will be used for channel state information (CSI) reporting based on the network device configuration.

For example, the first delay is different from the second delay; the first delay does not include the delay of the second transceiver switching from off to on, and the second delay includes the delay of the second transceiver switching from off to active. Since in the first type second state, the second transceiver is already in the on state. For example, the first delay does not include the first ramp-up delay; and the second delay includes the second ramp-up delay.

[0143] Exemplarily, the first delay is determined based on the sum of the second delay and the offset value, or the first delay is determined by the difference between the second delay and the offset value.

[0144] Exemplarily, the first delay does not include a first ramp-up delay and includes a first synchronization delay, the first ramp-up delay includes a delay for the second transceiver to start up and load a memory, and the first synchronization delay is a delay for the second transceiver to resynchronize with the network device.

[0145] Exemplarily, the second delay includes a second ramp-up delay and a second synchronization delay. Here, the first ramp-up delay may be the ramp-up delay in the previous embodiment, and the second synchronization delay may be the synchronization or resynchronization delay in the previous embodiment.

[0146] Exemplarily, the first delay and the second delay are both wake-up delays.

[0148] Optionally, the offset value is an arbitrary value, or the offset value is less than or equal to a predetermined value.

[0149] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the delay of the terminal in different states according to a protocol agreement.

[0150] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the delay of the terminal in different states according to the situation in which the second transceiver monitors the paging message.

[0151] In some embodiments, the terminal configures the delay of the terminal in different states.

[0154] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate at least one of the following: the terminal's ability to support different states; the terminal's support for delays in different states. Optionally, the state is the state in the previous embodiment.

[0155] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate at least one of the following: a first capability supported by the terminal; a second capability supported by the terminal; and delays in different states supported by the terminal. Here, the first information may be used to indicate that the terminal is in at least one of the following: a delay in a first state in a non-connected state, a delay in a second state in a non-connected state, a delay in a third state in a non-connected state, and a delay in a fourth state in a non-connected state.

[0156] In some embodiments, the name of the first information is not limited, and it may be, for example, a first message or capability indication information or first capability indication information or second capability indication information or status indication information or delay indication information or wake-up delay indication information, etc.

[0157] Exemplarily, the first capability supported by the terminal is the capability of the terminal to support different states.

[0158] Exemplarily, the second capability supported by the terminal is a capability supported by the terminal in different states.

[0171] Optionally, the terminal indicates, through different bits of the same unit in the first information, that the terminal supports capabilities in different states.

[0172] Exemplarily, the terminal sends first information, and the first information includes a first information unit; when the first information unit is a first bit or a first value, it is used to indicate the capabilities supported by the terminal when it supports a first state, or, when the first information unit is a second bit or a second value, it is used to indicate the capabilities supported by the terminal when it supports a second state.

[0173] Exemplarily, the terminal sends first information, and the first information includes a first information unit; when the first information unit is a first bit or a first value, it is used to indicate the capabilities supported by the terminal when it supports the first state, or, when the first information unit is a second bit or a second value, it is used to indicate the capabilities supported by the terminal when it supports the first type of second state, or, when the first information unit is a third bit or a third value, it is used to indicate the capabilities supported by the terminal when it supports the second type of second state.

[0175] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate: capabilities commonly supported when the terminal supports the first state and the second state, and the commonly supported capabilities include at least one of the following: using the first transceiver to monitor the wake-up signal, and using the first transceiver to measure the service cell.

[0176] Exemplarily, if the first information is used to indicate publicly supported capabilities, it can be determined that the terminal is in the first state or the first type of the second state.

[0177] Exemplarily, the publicly supported capability is a public capability. If the first information indicates a public capability supported by the terminal, it can be determined that the terminal is in the first state or the first type of the second state.

[0178] In some embodiments, the capability indicated by the first information is for each terminal. Thus, the first capability and / or the second capability supported by each terminal is different; for example, the first terminal supports the capability in the first state and / or supports the capability supported when in the first state; the second terminal supports the capability in the second state and / or supports the capability supported when in the second state.

[0179] In some embodiments, the capability indicated by the first information is for each frequency band. In this way, the first capability and / or second capability supported by the terminal of the cell corresponding to each frequency band is the same; for example, for a cell corresponding to a frequency band including a first terminal and a second terminal, the first terminal and the second terminal can both support the capability in the first state and / or support the capability supported when in the first state.

[0180] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate a first delay of the terminal in the first type second state.

[0181] Optionally, the first information is used to indicate that the first delay is smaller than the second delay, and the second delay is the delay in the first state.

[0182] Optionally, the first information is used to indicate that the first delay is determined based on the sum of the second delay and an offset value, or that the first delay is determined by the difference between the second delay and the offset value; wherein the offset value is a protocol agreement or a network device configuration.

[0183] Optionally, the first information is used to indicate that the first delay does not include a first ramp-up delay and includes a first synchronization delay, the first ramp-up delay includes a delay for starting the second transceiver and loading a memory, and the first synchronization delay is a delay for resynchronizing the second transceiver with the network device.

[0184] In some embodiments, when the first information is used to indicate the common supported capabilities of the terminal, it is also used to indicate that different states correspond to different delays.

[0186] Exemplarily, the first information unit of the first information indicates that the common capabilities supported by the terminal are at least one of the following: monitoring the wake-up signal using the first transceiver, and measuring the service cell using the first transceiver; the second information unit of the first information indicates that the first delay of the first state is the same as the delay of the second state, and indicates that the first delay and the second delay are both first values.

[0187] In some embodiments, when the first information is used to indicate the capabilities commonly supported by the terminal, it is also used to indicate that different states correspond to the same delay.

[0188] Optionally, when the first information is used to indicate the common supported capabilities of the terminal, it is also used to indicate that a first delay of the terminal in the first state is different from a second delay of the terminal in the second state.

[0189] Exemplarily, the first information unit of the first information indicates that the common capabilities supported by the terminal are at least one of the following: monitoring the wake-up signal using the first transceiver, and measuring the service cell using the first transceiver; the second information unit of the first information indicates that the first delay of the first state is different from the delay of the second state, and indicates that the first delay is a first value and the second delay is a second value.

[0190] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate that the terminal only supports the second delay in the first state.

[0191] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate that the terminal only supports the first delay in the first type second state.

[0192] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate that the terminal supports the second delay in the first state and the first delay in the first type of the second state.

[0193] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate that the terminal supports the second delay in the first state, wherein the first delay in the first type of the second state is determined based on the second delay and the offset value.

[0194] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate that the terminal supports a first delay in a first type second state, wherein the second delay in the first state is determined based on the first delay and an offset value.

[0195] Exemplarily, if the terminal only supports the first state, the terminal only reports the second delay supporting the first state.

[0196] Exemplarily, if the terminal only supports the second state (e.g., the first type of second state), the terminal only reports the first delay for supporting the second state (e.g., the first type of second state). Here, since the second type of second state is based on the second transceiver to monitor the paging message, and the first transceiver is not used to monitor the wake-up signal, there is no delay in reporting the second type of second state.

[0197] Exemplarily, if the terminal supports the first state and the first type of the second state, the terminal reports the second delay for supporting the first state and the first delay for supporting the first type of the second state.

[0198] Exemplarily, if the terminal supports the first state and the first type of the second state, the terminal reports the second delay of supporting the first state; the first delay of the first type of the second state is determined based on the second delay and the offset value.

[0199] Exemplarily, if the terminal supports the first state and the first type of the second state, the terminal reports the first delay for supporting the first type of the second state; the second delay of the first state is determined based on the first delay and the offset value.

[0201] Optionally, for the first state and the second state of the connected state, the wake-up delay may be common.

[0202] Optionally, the wake-up delay of the second state in the non-connected state can be agreed upon by the protocol to be one of the delays used to support LP-WUS in the connected state. Because the wake-up delay of the second state in the non-connected state and the delay used to be awakened by LP-WUS in the connected state have certain commonalities, because the main transceiver is not in sleep at this time, there is no need to consider the ramp-up delay.

[0203] Optionally, for the first state and the second state of the connected state, the capability reporting can be separate or shared, such as the capability of supporting LP-WUS in the connected state. The advantage of separate reporting is that it is easy for the base station to determine which PDCCH monitoring mode the terminal supports, and the base station is easy to control. The advantage of sharing is that it is simpler for the terminal to implement.

[0204] Optionally, when reporting the capability information for the first state and the second state in the non-connected state, the terminal may use the same capability report as that for supporting LP-WUS in the connected state.

[0205] Optionally, when reporting capability information for the first state and the second state in the non-connected state, the terminal may report the same capability as that for supporting LP-WUS in the connected state (for example, supporting LP-WUS support capability); but report different wake-up delays.

Exemplarily, the terminal reports the support for the LP-WUS support capability, and at the same time reports the delay of 100 milliseconds (ms) for waking up from state 1 in the non-connected state, and reports multiple values ​​of the delay for waking up in the connected state (for example, x delay under subcarrier spacing 1, y delay under subcarrier spacing 2, z delay under subcarrier spacing 3, etc.); at this time, the wake-up delay of the second state in the non-connected state does not need to be reported again, and the protocol stipulates that it is one of the values ​​of the delay for supporting the use of LP-WUS in the connected state. For example, if the subcarrier spacing of the initial bandwidth part (Bandwidth Part, BWP) where the terminal currently resides is 1, then the x delay in the above list is reused.

[0207] In some optional embodiments, a prerequisite for the terminal to send the first information is that the terminal has a separate transceiver (e.g., a first transceiver) or the terminal supports the ability to relax neighboring cell measurements, such as supporting traditional radio resource management (RRM) measurement relaxation (e.g., Rel-16 / Rel-17 relaxation).

[0283] In some embodiments, the above method may include the method described in the above information processing system side, terminal side, network device side, etc., which will not be repeated here.

[0284] The present disclosure relates to an information processing method, which includes:

[0285] Embodiment 1: A terminal determines a support capability in a specific power saving state.

[0286] Optionally, the power-saving state may be a state in the previous embodiment; the specific power-saving state may be the first state and / or the second state (eg, state 2-1) in the previous embodiment.

[0287] Optionally, in the non-connected state, the capabilities supported in different states may include at least one of the following:

[0288] The first state (case 1, all unloading scenario): the first transceiver (such as LR) is turned on, the first transceiver monitors the wake-up signal (LP-WUS), and the first transceiver measures the service cell; the second transceiver (such as MR) is in a sleep state, and the second transceiver stops monitoring the paging message and stops measuring the service cell and / or neighboring cell; the service cell can be referred to as the current cell.

[0289] The second state (case 3, partial unloading scenario): the first transceiver is turned on, and the first transceiver measures the serving cell; the second transceiver is in an activated state, and the second transceiver is in a relaxed state (e.g., relaxed state 1) for measuring the serving cell and / or the neighboring cell. The second state may include a first type of second state (state 1-1) and a second type of second state (e.g., state 2-2).

[0290] Exemplarily, in state 2-1: the first transceiver monitors the LP-WUS, and the second transceiver does not monitor the paging message.

[0291] Exemplarily, in state 2-2, the first transceiver does not monitor the LP-WUS, and the second transceiver monitors the paging message.

[0292] Optionally, in the connected state, the capabilities supported in different states may include at least one of the following:

[0293] In the first state, the terminal uses LP-WUS to monitor PDCCH in a connected state; at this time, LP-WUS is configured before the DRX duration (onduration), and the terminal decides whether to start monitoring the subsequent DRX duration (onduration) based on whether a wake-up signal is detected in LP-WUS.

[0294] In the second state, the terminal uses LP-WUS to monitor PDCCH in the connected state; at this time, LP-WUS is configured outside the activation time of DRX. At this time, the terminal decides whether to start monitoring the subsequent DRX activation duration based on whether the wake-up signal is detected in LP-WUS; the activation duration can be a newly defined timer or an inactive timer. The timer corresponding to the activation duration will be restarted when a new DCI is received, with the purpose of extending the activation duration. At this time, the onduration timer of the long-cycle and / or short-cycle DRX will not be turned on or will not be used for PDCCH monitoring. At this time, the onduration timer of the long-cycle and / or short-cycle DRX will be used for CSI reporting based on the network device configuration.

[0295] Embodiment 2: The terminal sends (or reports) the wake-up delay for the second state (state 2-1) to the network device. Optionally, the wake-up delay is the delay in the previous embodiment.

[0296] Optionally, the wake-up delay of state 2-1 may be defined as one of the following:

[0297] The wake-up delay of state 2-1 is different from the wake-up delay of the first state; for example, the wake-up delay of state 2-1 is less than the wake-up delay of the first state. Here, the wake-up delay of state 2-1 can be the first delay in the previous embodiment; the wake-up delay of the first state is the second delay in the previous embodiment. The second delay includes:

[0298] A second ramp-up delay, wherein the second ramp-up delay includes a delay for starting up the second transceiver and performing memory loading (Ramp-up time which consist of the procedure for main radio hardware tuneon eg, boot, memory load and etc.);

[0299] Second synchronization delay, where the second synchronization delay is the delay for resynchronization of the second transceiver with the network device (Time for sync / re-sync consists of the procedure for [main radio to re-synchronization with the serving gNB etc.).

[0300] The wake-up delay of state 2-1 may include the following characteristics:

[0301] The first ramp-up delay is not included, wherein the first ramp-up delay includes the delay of starting the second transceiver and loading the memory (Ramp-up time which consist of the procedure for main radio hardware tuning on eg, boot, memory load and etc. is not included for case 3 to MR paging monitoring.);

[0302] The first synchronization delay is included, wherein the first synchronization delay is the delay for resynchronization of the second transceiver with the network device (Time for sync / re-sync consists of the procedure for [main radio to re-synchronization with the serving gNB etc.], is included for case 3 to MR paging monitoring).

[0303] For the second state, the main transceiver is not in sleep state compared to the first state, so there is no need to power on the main transceiver when waking up from the first state, so the first ramp-up delay is not included, so the wake-up is faster.

[0304] In the second state, the main transceiver is not in sleep state compared to the first state, so there is no need to resynchronize the main transceiver when waking up from the first state. Therefore, the first synchronization delay may be shorter than the second synchronization delay, so the wake-up is faster.

[0305] The wake-up delay of state 2-1 may be the wake-up delay of the first state plus an offset value or minus an offset value; the offset value may be a protocol agreement or a network configuration.

[0306] Optionally, the wake-up delays of the first state and the second state of the connection state may be shared.

[0307] Optionally, the wake-up delay of the second state in the non-connected state can be agreed upon by the protocol to be one of the delays used to support LP-WUS in the connected state. Because the wake-up delay of the second state in the non-connected state and the delay used to be awakened by LP-WUS in the connected state have certain commonalities, because the main transceiver is not in sleep at this time, there is no need to consider the ramp-up delay.

[0308] Embodiment 3: The terminal sends (or reports) capabilities supported respectively for the first state and the second state to the network device.

[0309] Optionally, the terminal reports capabilities supported in the first state and / or in the second state.

[0310] Optionally, the granularity of the capabilities supported by the terminal may be per terminal or per frequency band (per band) (eg, supported only in certain frequency bands).

[0311] Optionally, the support capabilities of the first state and the second state are indicated by different information elements (IEs), respectively.

[0312] Optionally, the terminal also reports the wake-up delay in different states; for example, including at least one of the following:

[0313] If the terminal only supports the first state, the terminal only reports the wake-up delay supporting the first state;

[0314] If the terminal only supports the second state, the terminal only reports the wake-up delay supporting the second state;

[0315] If the terminal supports the first state and the first type of second state, the terminal reports the wake-up delay for supporting the first state and the wake-up delay for supporting the second state;

[0316] If the terminal supports the first state and the first type of the second state, the terminal reports the wake-up delay for supporting the first state or the wake-up delay for supporting the second state.

[0317] Optionally, if the terminal only reports the wake-up delay supporting the first state, the wake-up delay of the second state is determined based on the wake-up delay and the offset value of the first state; or, if the terminal only reports the wake-up delay supporting the second state, the wake-up delay of the first state is determined based on the wake-up delay and the offset value of the second state.

[0318] Optionally, for the first state and the second state of the connected state, the capability reporting can be separate or shared, such as the capability of supporting LP-WUS in the connected state. The advantage of separate reporting is that it is easy for the base station to determine which PDCCH monitoring mode the terminal supports, and the base station is easy to control. The advantage of sharing is that it is simpler for the terminal to implement.

[0319] Embodiment 4: The terminal sends (or reports) capabilities commonly supported by the first state and the second state to the network device.

[0320] Optionally, the commonly supported capability may be at least one of the following: the capability of monitoring a wake-up signal using the first transceiver, the capability of measuring a serving cell using the first transceiver. Here, the network device knows that the terminal supports the full offloading capability of the first state and the partial offloading capability of the second state (e.g., state 2-1).

[0321] Optionally, the terminal reports a common supported capability signaling for the first state and the second state (for example, supporting the LP-WUS usage capability in the non-connected state), but can carry different wake-up delays for different states (if both states are supported, the wake-up delays for the two states are carried). Compared with the previous solution that uses different capability signaling and delay reporting, it saves more signaling overhead.

[0322] Optionally, the terminal reports a signaling of a commonly supported capability for the first state and the second state, but may carry the same wake-up delay for different states (if both states are supported, the wake-up delays of the two states are carried).

[0323] Optionally, when reporting the capability information for the first state and the second state in the non-connected state, the terminal may use the same capability report as that for supporting LP-WUS in the connected state.

[0324] Optionally, when reporting capability information for the first state and the second state in the non-connected state, the terminal may report the same capability as that for supporting LP-WUS in the connected state (for example, supporting LP-WUS support capability); but report different wake-up delays.

[0325] Optionally, when reporting the capability information for the first state and the second state in the non-connected state, the terminal may report the same capability as the one for supporting the use of LP-WUS in the connected state (for example, supporting the LP-WUS support capability); and the wake-up delay of the second state in the non-connected state may be reported together with the delay for supporting the use of LP-WUS in the connected state. Exemplarily, the terminal reports the support for the LP-WUS support capability, and at the same time reports the delay of 100ms for waking up from state 1 in the non-connected state, and reports multiple values ​​of the delay for waking up in the connected state (for example, x delay under subcarrier spacing 1, y delay under subcarrier spacing 2, z delay under subcarrier spacing 3, etc.); at this time, the wake-up delay of the second state in the non-connected state does not need to be reported again, and the protocol stipulates that it is one of the values ​​of the delay for supporting the use of LP-WUS in the connected state. For example, if the subcarrier spacing of the initial BWP currently resident by the terminal is 1, the x delay in the above list is reused.

[0326] Optionally, no matter in what form the terminal reports its support capability, the prerequisite for the terminal to report the support capability is that the terminal has a separate transceiver (e.g., the first transceiver) or the ability to relax the neighboring cell measurement, such as the ability to support traditional radio resource management (Radio Resource management, RRM) measurement relaxation (e.g., Rel-16 / Rel-17 relaxation). It can be understood that the existence of a separate transceiver can relax the measurement of the main transceiver on the local area.

[0327] Exemplarily, a precondition for the terminal to support being in the first state and / or the second state is that the terminal supports the capability of LP-WUS monitoring or the terminal supports the capability of measuring low-power signals.

[0328] Exemplarily, a precondition for the terminal to support being in the first state and / or the second state is that the terminal supports relaxed measurement of neighboring cells in a non-connected state (eg, an RRC idle state or an RRC inactive state).

[0329] Embodiment 5: A terminal sends first information to a network device (eg, a base station), which may be transmitted by the base station to a core network device or between base stations; the first information is the capabilities supported by the terminal and the wake-up delay of the state in which the terminal is located.
