[0002] In radio resource control (RRC), extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) is used to enable the terminal equipment (UE) to turn on the transceiver for paging monitoring except at specified paging opportunities, and turn off the transceiver when there is no uplink / downlink (UL / DL) data transmission or reception, thereby reducing battery consumption.

[0119] It should be understood that although the terms "first," "second," and "third" may be used herein to describe various information, such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are used solely to distinguish information of the same type from one another. For example, without departing from the scope of this disclosure, first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information. Depending on the context, the term "if," as used herein, may be interpreted as "upon," "when," or "in response to a determination." Furthermore, as used herein, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context indicates otherwise. It should be further understood that the terms "comprising" and "including" indicate the presence of the recited features, steps, operations, elements, components, items, types, and / or groups, but do not preclude the presence, occurrence, or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, components, items, types, and / or groups. The terms "or," "and / or," "including at least one of the following," and the like, as used herein, may be interpreted as inclusive, meaning any one or any combination. For example, “comprising at least one of the following: A, B, C” means “any of the following: A; B; C; A and B; A and C; B and C; A and B and C”; and for another example, “A, B or C” or “A, B and / or C” means “any of the following: A; B; C; A and B; A and C; B and C; A and B and C”. An exception to this definition will occur only when a combination of elements, functions, steps or operations are inherently mutually exclusive in some manner.

When implementing the step, those skilled in the art may execute S1 first and then S0, etc., but these should all be within the scope of protection of this application.

[0123] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0124] In the subsequent description, the use of suffixes such as "module", "component" or "unit" to represent elements is only for the purpose of facilitating the description of the present application and has no specific meaning.

Those skilled in the art will understand that, in addition to components specifically used for mobile purposes, the configuration according to the embodiments of the present application can also be applied to fixed-type terminal devices.

[0127] Please refer to Figure 1, which is a schematic diagram of the hardware structure of a mobile terminal for implementing various embodiments of the present application. The mobile terminal 100 may include components such as an RF (Radio Frequency) unit 101, a WiFi module 102, an audio output unit 103, an A / V (Audio / Video) input unit 104, a sensor 105, a display unit 106, a user input unit 107, an interface unit 108, a memory 109, a processor 110, and a power supply 111. Those skilled in the art will understand that the mobile terminal structure shown in Figure 1 does not limit the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal may include more or fewer components than shown, or may combine certain components, or arrange the components differently.

[0128] The following is a detailed introduction to the various components of the mobile terminal in conjunction with Figure 1:

[0129] The RF unit 101 can be used to send and receive information or receive signals during calls. Specifically, it receives downlink information from the base station and transmits it to the processor 110 for processing. It also transmits uplink data to the base station. Typically, the RF unit 101 includes, but is not limited to, an antenna, at least one amplifier, a transceiver, a coupler, a low-noise amplifier, a duplexer, and more. Furthermore, the RF unit 101 can communicate with the network and other devices via wireless communication. The above-mentioned wireless communications can use any communication standard or protocol, including but not limited to GSM (Global System of Mobile communication), GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), CDMA2000 (Code Division Multiple Access 2000), WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access), TD-SCDMA (Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access), FDD-LTE (Frequency Division Duplexing-Long Term Evolution), TDD-LTE (Time Division Duplexing-Long Term Evolution) and 5G, etc.

[0130] WiFi is a short-range wireless transmission technology. A mobile terminal, through WiFi module 102, enables users to send and receive emails, browse web pages, and access streaming media, providing wireless broadband Internet access. Although FIG1 illustrates WiFi module 102, it is understood that it is not a required component of the mobile terminal and can be omitted as needed without altering the essence of the invention.

[0131] The audio output unit 103 can convert audio data received by the RF unit 101 or the WiFi module 102 or stored in the memory 109 into an audio signal and output it as sound when the mobile terminal 100 is in a call signal reception mode, a talk mode, a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, a broadcast reception mode, or the like. Furthermore, the audio output unit 103 can also provide audio output related to a specific function performed by the mobile terminal 100 (e.g., a call signal reception sound, a message reception sound, etc.). The audio output unit 103 may include a speaker, a buzzer, or the like.

[0132] The A / V input unit 104 is used to receive audio or video signals. The A / V input unit 104 may include a graphics processing unit (GPU) 1041 and a microphone 1042. The GPU 1041 processes image data of still images or videos captured by an image capture device (e.g., a camera) in video capture mode or image capture mode. The processed image frames may be displayed on the display unit 106. The image frames processed by the GPU 1041 may be stored in the memory 109 (or other storage medium) or transmitted via the RF unit 101 or the WiFi module 102. The microphone 1042 may receive sound (audio data) in operating modes such as a phone call mode, a recording mode, and a voice recognition mode, and may process such sound into audio data. In the phone call mode, the processed audio (voice) data may be converted into a format that can be transmitted to a mobile communication base station via the RF unit 101. The microphone 1042 may implement various types of noise cancellation (or suppression) algorithms to eliminate (or suppress) noise or interference generated during the reception and transmission of audio signals.

[0133] The mobile terminal 100 also includes at least one sensor 105, such as a light sensor, a motion sensor, and other sensors. Optionally, the light sensor includes an ambient light sensor and a proximity sensor. Optionally, the ambient light sensor can adjust the brightness of the display panel 1061 according to the brightness of the ambient light, and the proximity sensor can turn off the display panel 1061 and / or the backlight when the mobile terminal 100 is moved to the ear. As a type of motion sensor, the accelerometer sensor can detect the magnitude of acceleration in all directions (generally three axes), and can detect the magnitude and direction of gravity when stationary. It can be used for applications that recognize the posture of the mobile phone (such as horizontal and vertical screen switching, related games, magnetometer posture calibration), vibration recognition related functions (such as pedometer, tapping), etc.; as for other sensors that can be configured in the mobile phone, such as fingerprint sensors, pressure sensors, iris sensors, molecular sensors, gyroscopes, barometers, hygrometers, thermometers, infrared sensors, etc., they will not be described here.

[0134] The display unit 106 is used to display information input by the user or information provided to the user. The display unit 106 may include a display panel 1061, which may be configured in the form of a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), or the like.

[0135] The user input unit 107 can be used to receive input digital or character information, and to generate key signal input related to the user settings and function control of the mobile terminal. Optionally, the user input unit 107 may include a touch panel 1071 and other input devices 1072. The touch panel 1071, also known as a touch screen, can collect user touch operations on or near it (such as operations performed by the user using a finger, stylus, or any other suitable object or accessory on or near the touch panel 1071) and drive the corresponding connection device according to a pre-set program. The touch panel 1071 may include two parts: a touch detection device and a touch controller. Optionally, the touch detection device detects the user's touch direction and detects the signal generated by the touch operation, and transmits the signal to the touch controller; the touch controller receives the touch information from the touch detection device and converts it into touch point coordinates, which are then sent to the processor 110. It can also receive commands sent by the processor 110 and execute them. In addition, the touch panel 1071 can be implemented using various types such as resistive, capacitive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave. In addition to the touch panel 1071, the user input unit 107 may further include other input devices 1072. Optionally, the other input devices 1072 may include, but are not limited to, one or more of a physical keyboard, function keys (such as volume control keys, power keys, etc.), a trackball, a mouse, a joystick, etc., and the specifics are not limited here.

[0136] Optionally, the touch panel 1071 may overlay the display panel 1061. When the touch panel 1071 detects a touch operation on or near it, it transmits the information to the processor 110 to determine the type of touch event. The processor 110 then provides a corresponding visual output on the display panel 1061 based on the type of touch event. Although in FIG1 , the touch panel 1071 and the display panel 1061 are shown as two separate components to implement the input and output functions of the mobile terminal, in some embodiments, the touch panel 1071 and the display panel 1061 may be integrated to implement the input and output functions of the mobile terminal, which is not limited to this specific embodiment.

[0137] The interface unit 108 serves as an interface through which at least one external device can be connected to the mobile terminal 100.

[0138] Memory 109 can be used to store software programs and various data. Memory 109 may primarily include a program storage area and a data storage area. Optionally, the program storage area may store an operating system and at least one application required for a function (such as a sound playback function or an image playback function); the data storage area may store data generated based on the use of the mobile phone (such as audio data, a phone book, etc.). Furthermore, memory 109 may include high-speed random access memory and non-volatile memory, such as at least one disk storage device, flash memory device, or other volatile solid-state storage device.

[0139] Processor 110 is the control center of the mobile terminal, connecting all components of the mobile terminal using various interfaces and circuits. By running or executing software programs and / or modules stored in memory 109 and accessing data stored in memory 109, it executes various functions of the mobile terminal and processes data, thereby providing overall monitoring of the mobile terminal. Processor 110 may include one or more processing units; preferably, processor 110 may integrate an application processor and a modem processor. Optionally, the application processor primarily handles the operating system, user interface, and application programs, while the modem processor primarily handles wireless communications. It is understood that the modem processor may not be integrated into processor 110.

[0140] The mobile terminal 100 may also include a power supply 111 (such as a battery) for supplying power to various components. Preferably, the power supply 111 may be logically connected to the processor 110 through a power management system, thereby enabling the power management system to manage functions such as charging, discharging, and power consumption.

[0141] Although not shown in FIG. 1 , the mobile terminal 100 may further include a Bluetooth module, etc., which will not be described in detail here.

[0155] Based on the above-mentioned mobile terminal hardware structure and communication network system, various embodiments of the present application are proposed.

[0156] First embodiment

[0157] 5 , which is a flow chart of a control method according to a first embodiment, the method of the embodiment of the present application can be applied to a terminal device (such as a mobile phone). The control method includes the following steps:

[0158] S1: Entering a low power consumption radio receiver state based on a radio resource control release message including first content.

[0159] In an embodiment of the present application, a low-power wireless receiver state or terminal device behavior is introduced, so that the terminal device can maintain low power consumption and low latency at the same time. Specifically, when the terminal device receives a wireless resource control release message including a first content, it can enter a low-power wireless receiver state according to the wireless resource control release message. The first content included in the wireless resource control release message is different, and the process of the terminal device entering the low-power wireless receiver state is different.

[0160] When the terminal enters the low-power wireless receiver state from the RRC inactive state, the base station will forward the relevant indication information of the low-power wireless receiver state to the core network device after sending the wireless resource release message that meets the second condition; after the RRC connection of the terminal device is released, the core network device marks the terminal as being in the low-power wireless receiver state according to the relevant indication information of the low-power wireless receiver state.

[0161] When the terminal enters the low-power wireless receiver state from the RRC idle state, the base station will forward the relevant indication information of the low-power wireless receiver state to the core network device after sending the wireless resource release message that meets the third condition; after the RRC connection of the terminal device is released, the core network device marks the terminal as being in the low-power wireless receiver state according to the relevant indication information of the low-power wireless receiver state.

[0162] When the terminal enters the low-power wireless receiver state from the RRC connection state, the base station will forward the relevant indication information of the low-power wireless receiver state to the core network device after sending the wireless resource release message that meets the first condition; after the RRC connection of the terminal device is released, the core network device marks the terminal as being in the low-power wireless receiver state according to the relevant indication information of the low-power wireless receiver state.

[0163] Optionally, the low-power wireless receiver state is also an RRC state, and in the low-power wireless receiver state, it is necessary to continuously or periodically monitor the wake-up signal.

[0164] Optionally, if the radio resource control release message does not include a suspend configuration but includes a low-power wireless receiver related information element, and the low-power wireless receiver related information element does not include the first timer or the second timer, directly entering the low-power wireless receiver state from the radio resource control connected state;

[0165] Optionally, if the radio resource control release message includes a suspension configuration and low-power wireless receiver related information elements, and the low-power wireless receiver related information elements include the first timer, the terminal device will first enter the radio resource control inactive state and enter the low-power wireless receiver state from the radio resource control inactive state according to the value of the first timer;

[0166] Optionally, if the wireless resource control release message does not include a suspension configuration, includes low-power wireless receiver related information elements, and the low-power wireless receiver related information elements include the second timer, the terminal device will first enter the wireless resource control idle state, and enter the low-power wireless receiver state from the wireless resource control idle state according to the value of the second timer.

[0167] The above embodiments are all described based on the first timer or the second timer in the low-power wireless receiver related information element. In fact, the first timer or the second timer can be included only in the system message, and at this time the system message must have an enable signal related to the low-power configuration; the first timer or the second timer can also be included only in the low-power wireless receiver related information element in the wireless resource control release message, as described in the above embodiments; the first timer or the second timer can also be included in the low-power wireless receiver related information element in the system message and the wireless resource control release message at the same time. At this time, the first timer or the second timer is determined by the minimum value of the corresponding timer in the low-power wireless receiver related information element and the corresponding timer in the system message.

[0168] In an optional implementation manner, before the step of entering the low power consumption radio receiver state based on the radio resource control release message including the first content, the step further includes:

[0169] Sends a request to enter low power radio receiver state and / or historical paging rate.

[0170] Optionally, when the terminal device is in a radio resource control (RRC) connection state, based on the current working mode, the terminal device can actively send a request to enter a low-power wireless receiver state and / or a historical paging rate to the network device, and the network device can send a radio resource control release (RRCRelease) message including a first content in response to the request of the terminal device based on the low-power wireless receiver state request and / or historical paging rate reported by the terminal device, as well as the current service type. Furthermore, the terminal device can determine the process of entering a low-power wireless receiver state from each RRC state based on the different first contents included in the radio resource control release message. In addition, the network device can also directly send an RRCRelease message to the terminal device based on the current service type, and then the terminal device determines the process of entering a low-power wireless receiver state from each RRC state based on the different first contents included in the radio resource control release message.

[0171] In an optional implementation manner, the first content includes at least one of the following:

[0172] Low power wireless receiver related information elements;

[0173] First timer information element;

[0174] Second timer information element.

[0175] In an embodiment of the present application, the low-power wireless receiver related information element (LowerpowerWakeupConfig) in the first content can be used to determine the sending configuration of the low-power wake-up signal when the low-power wireless receiver is in the state of the low-power wireless receiver, such as the sending period of the low-power wake-up signal, time-frequency resources, etc., and can also be used as a trigger condition for the terminal device to enter the low-power wireless receiver state (LP_WUR) from the radio resource control connected state (RRC_CONNECTED). The first timer information element in the first content, such as T301b, can be used to enter the low-power wireless receiver state from the radio resource control inactive state (RRC_INACITIVE). The second timer information element in the first content, such as T301c, can be used to enter the low-power wireless receiver state from the radio resource control idle state (RRC_IDLE). Through the low-power wireless receiver related information element, the first timer information element, and the second timer information element in the first content, the conversion from multiple RRC states to the low-power wireless receiver state can be realized, making the way for the terminal device to enter the low-power wireless receiver state more flexible.

[0176] It should be noted that the above-mentioned low-power wireless receiver related information elements, T301b and T301c are only examples and do not constitute a limitation on the first content included in the radio resource control release message.

[0177] This embodiment uses the above-mentioned scheme to enable the terminal device to enter a low-power wireless receiver state according to the first content in the wireless resource control release message after receiving the wireless resource control release message, thereby enabling the terminal device to maintain good power saving performance. At the same time, the terminal device entering the low-power wireless receiver state will continue to receive low-power wake-up signals at specified times to ensure that it responds in time when there is a business demand, thereby enabling the terminal device to meet both long battery life and low-latency services.

[0178] Second embodiment

[0179] 6 , which is a flow chart of a control method according to a second embodiment, based on the first embodiment of the present application, before step S1 , the control method further includes the following steps:

[0180] S0: Select or determine the value of the first timer information element and / or the second timer information element in the first content based on the radio resource control release message and / or system message.

[0181] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal device can receive a wireless resource control release message and a system message sent by a network device. Optionally, the system message may include a first timer information element, a second timer information element, and / or an enable signal, and the wireless resource control release message may include a low-power wireless receiver related information element, a first timer information element and / or a second timer information element.

[0182] Optionally, selecting or determining a value of a first timer information element and / or a second timer information element in the first content based on the radio resource control release message and / or the system message includes at least one of the following:

[0183] Selecting or determining that the value of the first timer information element is the first timer information element in the radio resource control release information;

[0184] Selecting or determining that the value of the second timer information element is the second timer information element in the radio resource control release information;

[0185] Selecting or determining that the value of the first timer information element is a minimum value of the first timer information element in the system message and the first timer information element in the radio resource control release information;

[0186] The value of the second timer information element is selected or determined to be the minimum value of the second timer information element in the system message and the second timer information element in the radio resource control release information.

[0187] In an optional embodiment, if the wireless resource control release message includes a first timer information element or a second timer information element, when the system message received by the terminal device does not include the first timer information element or the second timer information element, the value of the first timer information element or the second timer information element is determined by the value of the corresponding timer information element in the wireless resource control release message; when the system message received by the terminal device contains the first timer information element or the second timer information element, the first timer information element or the second timer information element is determined by the minimum value of the corresponding timer element in the system message and the corresponding timer element in the wireless resource control release message as the value of the corresponding timer. Specifically, when the value of the first timer information element in the system message is T1 and the value of the first timer information element in the wireless resource control release message is T2, the final value of the first timer is T = min{T1, T2}; similarly, the second timer information element can be obtained.

[0188] In another optional embodiment, if the wireless resource control release message contains neither the first timer information element nor the second timer information element, but the system message contains both the first timer information element and the enable signal, or the second timer information element and the enable signal, then the value of the first timer information element or the second timer information element is determined by the value of the corresponding timer information element in the system message.

[0189] This embodiment selects or determines the value of the first timer information element and / or the second timer information element through the above-mentioned scheme, which can ensure that the selected value of the first timer information element and the value of the second timer information element are the shortest time required to enter the low-power wireless receiver state under the current business state, so that the terminal device can quickly enter the low-power wireless receiver state, thereby achieving the purpose of power saving.

[0190] Third embodiment

[0191] Based on the first and second embodiments of the present application, this embodiment discloses a specific method for entering a low-power wireless receiver state based on a radio resource control release message including first content in step S1. Referring to FIG. 7 , FIG. 7 is a flow chart of a control method according to a third embodiment, showing that the specific steps of step S1 include:

[0192] S11: Based on the recognition result of the radio resource control release message, turn off the main radio receiver, turn on the low power consumption receiver, and enter the low power consumption radio receiver state.

[0193] In the embodiment of the present application, by identifying the radio resource control release message and determining the content contained therein, an identification result is obtained, and then, based on the identification result, the main radio receiver is turned off, the low-power receiver is turned on, and the low-power radio receiver state is entered, thereby saving energy consumption of the terminal device. According to the different conditions satisfied by the identification result, the transition from multiple radio resource control (RRC) states to the low-power radio receiver state can be achieved.

[0194] In an optional implementation, the step of entering the low power consumption radio receiver state based on the radio resource control release message including the first content includes at least one of the following:

[0195] If the identification result satisfies the first condition, directly entering the low-power wireless receiver state from the radio resource control connected state;

[0196] If the identification result satisfies the second condition, first entering the radio resource control inactive state, and then entering the low-power wireless receiver state from the radio resource control inactive state according to the value of the first timer information element;

[0197] If the identification result satisfies the third condition, the system first enters the radio resource control idle state, and then enters the low-power wireless receiver state from the radio resource control idle state according to the value of the second timer information element.

[0198] Optionally, the first condition includes: the identification result does not include the suspend configuration, includes the low-power wireless receiver related information element, and the low-power wireless receiver related information element does not include the first timer information element and / or the second timer information element;

[0199] Specifically, when the wireless resource control release message received by the terminal device does not include the suspend configuration SuspendConfig, but includes the low-power wireless receiver related information element (LowerpowerWakeupConfig), and the low-power wireless receiver related information element does not include the first timer information element and / or the second timer information element, the terminal device directly enters the low-power wireless receiver state from the RRC connected state.

[0200] Optionally, the second condition includes: the identification result includes the suspend configuration and the low-power wireless receiver related information element, and the low-power wireless receiver related information element includes the first timer information element;

[0201] Specifically, when the wireless resource control release message received by the terminal device includes the suspension configuration SuspendConfig and the low-power wireless receiver related information element (LowerpowerWakeupConfig), and the low-power wireless receiver related information element includes the first timer T301b, the terminal device will first enter the wireless resource control inactive state (RRC_INACTIVE) state from the RRC connected state, and after entering the RRC_INACTIVE state, start the first timer. If the value of the first timer exceeds the first timer value selected or determined in step S0, that is, the first timer times out, the terminal device will enter the low-power wireless receiver state from the RRC_INACTIVE state.

[0202] Optionally, the third condition includes: the identification result does not include the suspension configuration, includes the low-power wireless receiver related information element, and the low-power wireless receiver related information element includes the second timer information element.

[0203] Specifically, when the wireless resource control release message received by the terminal device does not include a suspend configuration (SuspendConfig, for short, suspend configuration), but includes a low-power wireless receiver related information element (LowerpowerWakeupConfig), and the included LowerpowerWakeupConfig contains a second timer T301c, the terminal device will first enter the unlimited resource control idle state (RRC_IDLE) state from the RRC connected state, and after entering the RRC_IDLE state, start the second timer. If the value of the second timer exceeds the value of the second timer information element selected or determined in step S0, that is, the second timer times out, the terminal device will enter the low-power wireless receiver state from the RRC_IDLE state.

[0204] Optionally, the system message may include both a first timer and an enable signal. If the system message received by the terminal device includes a first timer information element and a low-power wireless receiver enable signal, and the enable signal enables the low-power wireless receiver, if the RRC Release message includes SuspendConfig and a low-power wireless receiver configuration, but the low-power wireless receiver configuration does not include the first timer, the terminal device will first enter the RRC inactive state from the RRC connected state, and after entering the RRC inactive state, start the first timer. When the value of the first timer is the first timer value determined in the system message, that is, the first timer times out, the terminal device will enter the low-power wireless receiver state from the RRC inactive state;

[0205] Optionally, the system message may include both a second timer and an enable signal. If the system message received by the terminal device includes a timer and a low-power wireless receiver enable signal, and the enable signal enables the low-power wireless receiver, if the RRC Release message does not include SuspendConfig but includes a low-power wireless receiver configuration, but the low-power wireless receiver configuration does not include the second timer, then the terminal device will first enter the RRC idle state from the RRC connected state, and after entering the RRC idle state, start the second timer. When the value of the second timer is the second timer value determined in the system message, that is, the second timer times out, the terminal device will enter the low-power wireless receiver state from the RRC idle state;

[0206] Optionally, if the system message received by the terminal device does not contain a timer, and the enable signal disables the low-power WUR configuration, if the RRC Release message does not contain SuspendConfig but contains a low-power wireless receiver configuration, but the low-power wireless receiver configuration does not contain any timer, the terminal device will directly enter the low-power wireless receiver state from the RRC connected state.

[0207] Optionally, when the low-power wake-up signal satisfies a fourth condition, the main radio receiver is awakened, and the radio resource control idle state is entered from the low-power radio receiver state. Optionally, satisfying the fourth condition includes at least one of the following:

[0208] A correlation peak of the low power wake-up signal exceeds a first threshold;

[0209] The number of times the correlation peak lasts exceeds a second threshold;

[0210] The correlation peak of the low power consumption wake-up signal exceeds a first threshold, and the number of times the correlation peak persists exceeds a second threshold.

[0211] In an embodiment of the present application, after the terminal device enters the low-power wireless receiver state, the terminal device monitors the LP_WUS based on the low-power wake-up signal (LP_WUS) monitoring opportunity configured by the upper layer. The LP_WUS can be periodic or continuously sent. During the monitoring of the LP_WUS, the terminal device does not perform neighboring cell and current cell measurements, and does not perform cell reselection, so as to maintain good power saving performance to meet long-term battery life services. If the received LP_WUS is correlated with the local sequence to obtain a correlation peak exceeding a certain threshold and / or the correlation peak lasts for more than a preset number of times, it means that the current network has a paging for this terminal device. The terminal device will switch the receiver from the low-power wireless receiver to the main radio receiver, and perform cell search and cell selection to determine the resident cell, enter the RRC idle state, and wait to receive the paging message sent by the network at the specified paging opportunity. Finally, the terminal device will determine whether to obtain a system message update or initiate an RRC connection request based on the content of the paging message, so as to respond to business needs in a timely manner, reduce the delay of data transmission, and meet the low-latency requirements.

[0212] Optionally, the first threshold may be a fixed value or another dynamic value that satisfies the cell coverage.

[0213] Optionally, the second threshold can be a fixed value or a dynamically adjusted value related to the service type. For example, for URLLC services, the second threshold can be larger, such as 10. For services such as eMCC, the second threshold can be smaller, such as 5.

[0214] This embodiment, through the above-described solution, specifically shuts down the main radio receiver, turns on the low-power receiver, and enters the low-power radio receiver state based on the result of identifying the radio resource control release message. When the low-power wake-up signal meets the fourth condition, the main radio receiver is awakened and enters the radio resource control idle state from the low-power radio receiver state. This achieves the goal of shutting down the main radio receiver and turning on the low-power receiver when there is no data transmission demand, maintaining good power saving performance. At the same time, the wake-up signal is continuously monitored to facilitate timely response when service needs arise, thereby meeting both long battery life and low latency services.

[0218] In an embodiment of the present application, when a condition is met, a response can be made to enter a low-power wireless receiver state. For example, when a terminal device receives a radio resource control release message that meets a condition, the terminal device can enter a low-power wireless receiver state according to the radio resource control release message. The process of the terminal device entering the low-power wireless receiver state varies depending on the condition met by the radio resource control release message.

Optionally, the third condition includes: the identification result does not include the suspension configuration, includes the low-power wireless receiver related information element, and the low-power wireless receiver related information element includes the second timer information element.

[0223] Optionally, the radio resource control release message (RRCRelease message) includes a low-power radio receiver related information element, a first timer information element, and / or a second timer information element. Through the RRCRelease message, the terminal device turns off the radio receiver and quickly enters a low-power radio receiver state, saving power consumption of the terminal device. When there is business transmission, the base station can quickly wake up the main radio receiver of the terminal device through a low-power wake-up signal and ensure that the terminal device quickly accesses the network without waiting until the paging cycle point to wake up, thereby reducing latency.

[0230] If the identification result satisfies the third condition, the system first enters the radio resource control idle state, and then enters the low-power wireless receiver state from the radio resource control idle state according to the value of the second timer information element.

[0231] Please refer to Figure 9, which is a schematic diagram of the principle of the control method shown in the fourth embodiment. If the identification result meets the first condition, the terminal device can turn off the main radio receiver, turn on the low-power receiver, and directly enter the low-power wireless receiver state from the RRC connection state.

[0232] In an optional embodiment, if the identification result meets the second condition, the terminal device enters the RRC_INACTIVE state from the RRC connected state, and after entering the RRC_INACTIVE state, starts the first timer T301b. If the timer times out, the terminal device can turn off the main radio receiver, turn on the low-power receiver, and switch from the RRC_INACTIVE state to the low-power radio receiver state. Optionally, when the system message received by the terminal device does not contain the first timer, the value of the first timer T301b is determined by the value of the first timer in the RRCRelease message; when the system message received by the terminal device contains the first timer, the first timer T301b is the minimum value of the first timer corresponding to the system message and the first timer corresponding to the RRCRelease message as the value of the first timer; when the RRCRelease message received by the terminal device does not contain the first timer, but the system message contains both the first timer information element and the enable signal, the value of the first timer is determined by the value of the first timer in the system message;

[0233] In an optional embodiment, if the identification result meets the third condition, the terminal device enters the RRC_IDLE state from the RRC connection state, and after entering the RRC_IDLE state, starts the second timer T301c. If the timer times out, the terminal device can turn off the main radio receiver, turn on the low-power receiver, and enter the low-power radio receiver state from the RRC_IDLE state. Optionally, when the system message received by the terminal device does not contain the second timer T301c, the value of the second timer T301c is determined by the value of the second timer in the RRCRelease message; when the system message received by the terminal device contains the second timer, the second timer T301c is the minimum value of the corresponding second timer in the system message and the corresponding second timer in the RRCRelease message as the value of the second timer; when the RRCRelease message received by the terminal device does not contain the second timer, but the system message contains both the second timer information element and the enable signal, the value of the second timer is determined by the value of the second timer in the system message.

[0234] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the order of shutting down the main radio receiver, turning on the low-power receiver, and entering the low-power radio receiver state. The main radio receiver can be shut down and the low-power receiver can be turned on before, at the same time, or after entering the low-power radio receiver state.

[0235] In an optional implementation, the system message may include both a first timer and an enable signal. If the system message received by the terminal device includes a first timer information element and a low-power wireless receiver enable signal, and the enable signal enables the low-power wireless receiver, if the RRC Release message includes SuspendConfig and a low-power wireless receiver configuration, but the low-power wireless receiver configuration does not include the first timer, the terminal device will first enter the RRC inactive state from the RRC connected state, and after entering the RRC inactive state, start the first timer. When the value of the first timer is the first timer value determined in the system message, that is, the first timer times out, the terminal device will enter the low-power wireless receiver state from the RRC inactive state;

[0236] In an optional implementation, the system message may include both a second timer and an enable signal. If the system message received by the terminal device includes a timer and a low-power wireless receiver enable signal, and the enable signal enables the low-power wireless receiver, if the RRC Release message does not include SuspendConfig but includes a low-power wireless receiver configuration, but the low-power wireless receiver configuration does not include the second timer, then the terminal device will first enter the RRC idle state from the RRC connected state, and after entering the RRC idle state, start the second timer. When the value of the second timer is the second timer value determined in the system message, that is, the second timer times out, the terminal device will enter the low-power wireless receiver state from the RRC idle state;

[0237] Optionally, if the system message received by the terminal device does not contain a timer, and the enable signal disables the low-power WUR configuration, if the RRC Release message does not contain SuspendConfig but contains a low-power wireless receiver configuration, but the low-power wireless receiver configuration does not contain any timer, the terminal device will directly enter the low-power wireless receiver state from the RRC connected state.

[0238] This embodiment uses the above solution, specifically by entering the low-power wireless receiver state in response to meeting a condition. When different conditions are met, the terminal device enters the low-power wireless receiver state according to the corresponding conditions, thereby realizing the conversion of multiple RRC states to the low-power wireless receiver state, making the way for the terminal device to enter the low-power wireless receiver state more flexible to adapt to different business scenarios and maintain good power saving performance. At the same time, the wake-up signal is continuously monitored in the low-power wireless receiver state to respond in time when there is a business demand, reduce the response delay, and thus meet the needs of long battery life and low latency services at the same time.

[0240] 10 , which is a flow chart of a control method according to a fifth embodiment, the control method includes the following steps:

[0241] S00: Select or determine the value of the first timer information element and / or the second timer information element based on the radio resource control release message and / or system message.

[0242] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may receive a radio resource control release message and / or a system message sent by the network device, thereby selecting or determining a value of the first timer information element and / or the second timer information element according to the received radio resource control release message and / or system message, including at least one of the following:

[0245] Selecting or determining that the value of the first timer information element is a minimum value of the first timer information element in the system message and the first timer information element in the radio resource control release information;

[0246] The value of the second timer information element is selected or determined to be the minimum value of the second timer information element in the system message and the second timer information element in the radio resource control release information.

[0247] In an embodiment of the present application, when the received system message does not include any timer information element but the radio resource control release message includes a first timer information element and / or a second timer information element, the first timer information element in the radio resource control release information can be directly used as the value of the first timer, and / or the second timer information element in the radio resource control release information can be used as the value of the second timer;

[0248] Optionally, when the received system message and wireless resource control release message both include timer information elements, the minimum value of the first timer information element in the system message and the first timer information element in the wireless resource control release information can be used as the value of the first timer. Similarly, the minimum value of the second timer information element in the system message and the second timer information element in the wireless resource control release information can be used as the value of the second timer.

[0249] Optionally, when the wireless resource control release message received by the terminal device does not contain the first timer information element or the second timer information element, but the system message contains both the first timer information element and the enable signal, or the second timer information element and the enable signal, the value of the first timer information element or the second timer information element is determined by the value of the corresponding timer information element in the system message.

[0250] Optionally, when the received system message includes a timer information element and a low power configuration enable signal, and the enable signal enables the low power configuration, but the wireless resource control release message does not include any timer information element, the first timer information element in the system message can be used as the value of the first timer. Similarly, the second timer information element in the system message can be used as the value of the second timer.

[0251] Optionally, before the step S10 of entering the low power wireless receiver state in response to a condition being met, the method further includes: sending a request to enter the low power wireless receiver state and / or a historical paging rate.

[0252] The terminal device can send a corresponding request to enter the low-power wireless receiver state and the historical paging rate to the network device based on factors such as the current service type, the time point, and the region. The network device can determine whether to generate and send a wireless resource control release message based on the received low-power wireless receiver state request and historical paging rate of the terminal device, so that the terminal device enters the low-power wireless receiver state according to the wireless resource control release message.

[0253] In the embodiment of the present application, after the step of entering the low-power wireless receiver state in response to a condition being met in step S10, the method further includes:

[0254] When the low power consumption wake-up signal satisfies a fourth condition, the main radio receiver is woken up and enters the radio resource control idle state from the low power consumption radio receiver state.

[0255] Optionally, after entering the low-power wireless receiver state, the terminal device continuously monitors the low-power wake-up signal LP_WUS. When the low-power wake-up signal meets the fourth condition, the main radio receiver can be awakened and the RRC idle state can be entered from the low-power wireless receiver state.

[0256] Optionally, satisfying the fourth condition includes at least one of the following:

[0257] A correlation peak of the low power wake-up signal exceeds a first threshold;

[0258] The number of times the correlation peak lasts exceeds a second threshold;

[0260] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present application, after the terminal device enters the low-power wireless receiver state, it will continue to receive LP_WUS signals. If the received LP_WUS is correlated with the local sequence to obtain a correlation peak exceeding a certain threshold and / or the correlation peak lasts for more than a preset number of times, it means that the current network has a paging request for this terminal device. The terminal device will switch the receiver from the low-power wireless receiver to the main radio receiver. The terminal device will also perform cell search and cell selection to determine the resident cell, and then enter the RRC idle state, waiting to receive the paging message sent by the network at the specified paging opportunity. Finally, the terminal device will determine whether to obtain a system message update or initiate an RRC connection request based on the content of the paging message.

[0261] This embodiment uses the above scheme, specifically by selecting or determining the value of the first timer information element and / or the second timer information element based on the radio resource control release message and / or the system message, and can further determine the process of entering the low-power wireless receiver state according to the determined values ​​of the first timer and the second timer. When the low-power wake-up signal meets the fourth condition, the main radio receiver is awakened, and the radio resource control idle state is entered from the low-power wireless receiver state. When there is no data transmission demand, the main radio receiver is turned off and the low-power receiver is turned on, maintaining good power saving performance, while continuously monitoring the wake-up signal so as to respond in time when there is a business demand, reduce the response delay, and thus meet both long battery life and low-latency business needs.

[0262] Sixth embodiment

[0263] 11 is a flow chart of a control method according to a sixth embodiment. The method of the embodiment of the present application may be executed by a network device. The control method includes the following steps:

[0264] A10: Send a radio resource control release message according to the first parameter.

[0265] In an embodiment of the present application, the network device can generate a radio resource control release message according to the first parameter, so that the terminal device enters a low-power radio receiver state according to the radio resource control release message.

[0266] Optionally, the first parameter includes one or more of a current data service transmission frequency, a current service status, a low-power wireless receiver status request, and a historical paging rate.

[0267] The network device can generate and send a radio resource control release message based on the current data service transmission frequency and the current service status, causing the terminal device to enter a low-power wireless receiver state according to the radio resource control release message. Alternatively, the network device can generate and send a radio resource control release message based on the low-power wireless receiver state request and historical paging rate sent by the terminal device, causing the terminal device to enter a low-power wireless receiver state according to the radio resource control release message.

[0268] In an optional implementation, the network device counts the service transmission frequency for a period of time, and the statistical time length is recorded as T1, and the number of busy data transmissions is B. If B / T1 is lower than a certain threshold, the network device actively notifies the terminal device to enter the low-power wireless receiver state through a wireless resource release message. The current service state is different, and the content contained in the wireless resource release message sent by the network is different, that is, the process of the terminal device entering the low-power wireless receiver state is different; for example, if the current service state requires RRC recovery or RRC re-establishment to be initiated within the next period of time T2, the RRC Release message sent by the network to the terminal device will include SuspendConfig and low-power wireless receiver related information elements (LowerpowerWakeupConfig), and the included LowerpowerWakeupConfig contains a first timer information element, where T2 is less than a certain threshold C1. If the current service status may require RRC recovery or RRC re-establishment after the next period of time T3, the RRC Release message sent by the network to the terminal device does not include SuspendConfig, but includes low-power wireless receiver related information elements (LowerpowerWakeupConfig), and the included LowerpowerWakeupConfig contains a second timer information element, where T3 is less than a certain threshold C2, and C2 is greater than C1.

[0269] In an optional implementation, the terminal device may choose to send a low-power wireless receiver state request and a historical paging rate based on the current service type, such as a warehouse record data service or an AR / VR service, or based on the current time point, such as night or day, or the region, such as a business building or a residential area. The network side determines whether to generate and send a wireless resource control release message based on the received low-power wireless receiver state request and the historical paging rate of the terminal device, so that the terminal device enters the low-power wireless receiver state according to the wireless resource control release message.

[0270] Optionally, after the step of sending a radio resource control release message according to the first parameter in step A10, the method further includes:

[0271] A low power consumption wake-up signal is sent according to the first information.

[0272] Optionally, the first information includes a period of the low-power wake-up signal, a time-frequency resource of the low-power wake-up signal, and a length of the low-power wake-up signal.

[0273] Optionally, the low-power wake-up signal includes a cell identity and / or a terminal device identity.

[0274] In an optional implementation, the low-power wake-up signal includes both the cell identity cell ID and the terminal device identity UE_ID. Specifically, the low-power wake-up signal can be scrambled by a sequence related to the cell identity cell ID and the terminal device identity UE_ID.

[0275] In an optional implementation, the low power consumption wake-up signal may only include the cell identity cell ID. Specifically, the low power consumption wake-up signal may be scrambled using a sequence only related to the cell identity cell ID.

[0276] In an optional implementation, the low-power wake-up signal may only include the terminal device identity UE_ID. Specifically, the low-power wake-up signal may be scrambled using a sequence related to the terminal device identity UE_ID.

[0277] It should be noted that the above-mentioned cell identity identifier cell ID and terminal equipment identity identifier UE_ID are only examples and do not constitute a limitation on the content of the low-power wake-up signal.

[0278] Optionally, the radio resource control release message includes a low power wireless receiver related information element, a first timer information element and / or a second timer information element.

[0279] In an embodiment of the present application, when the terminal device enters a low-power wireless receiver state according to a radio resource control release message, the network device may send a low-power wake-up signal according to a first parameter. The terminal device will also continue to monitor the low-power wake-up signal in the low-power wireless receiver state. After receiving a low-power wake-up signal that meets the conditions, the terminal device switches from the low-power wireless receiver to the main radio receiver, and performs cell search and cell selection to determine the resident cell, and then enters the RRC idle state and waits to receive a paging message sent by the network at a specified paging opportunity. Finally, the terminal device will determine whether to obtain a system message update or initiate an RRC connection request based on the content of the paging message.

[0280] This embodiment, through the above-described solution, specifically sends a radio resource control release message based on the first parameter to cause the terminal device to enter a low-power radio receiver state, and sends a low-power wake-up signal based on the first information to cause the terminal device to wake up the main radio receiver and enter a radio resource control idle state from the low-power radio receiver state. This achieves the goal of turning off the main radio receiver and turning on the low-power receiver when there is no data transmission demand, maintaining good power-saving performance. Meanwhile, the wake-up signal is continuously monitored to enable timely response when service needs arise, reducing response latency, thereby meeting both long battery life and low-latency service requirements.

[0281] Seventh embodiment

[0282] Referring to Figure 12, Figure 12 is a first example flow chart of the control method shown according to the seventh embodiment. As shown in Figure 12, the terminal device is currently in the RRC connected state. Based on the current working mode, the terminal device sends a request to the network device to enter the low-power wireless receiver state, and carries the historical paging rate of the terminal device. The network device responds to the request of the terminal device based on the historical paging rate and current service type reported by the terminal device, and sends an RRCRelease message. If the RRCRealease message contains the IE of LowerpowerWakeupConfig, but the first timer T301b and the second timer T301c are not configured in this IE, the terminal device directly enters the low-power wireless receiver state from the RRC connected state.

[0283] Compared with the above-mentioned terminal device actively requesting to enter the low-power wireless receiver state, the embodiment of the present application also proposes a solution for autonomous switching by the network device to realize different triggering mechanisms of the low-power wireless receiver state.

[0284] Specifically, referring to Figure 13, Figure 13 is a second example flow chart of the control method according to the seventh embodiment. As shown in Figure 13, the terminal device is currently in the RRC connection state, and the network device sends an RRCRelease message to the terminal device according to the current service type, wherein the RRCRelease message includes relevant configurations of the low power receiver (LP-WUR), that is, low power wireless receiver related information elements (LowerpowerWakeupConfig), but the first timer T301b and the second timer T301c are not configured in the LowerpowerWakeupConfig, then the terminal device directly enters the low power wireless receiver state from the RRC connection state.

[0285] Referring to Figure 14, Figure 14 is a third example flow chart of the control method shown in the seventh embodiment. As shown in Figure 14, the terminal device is currently in the RRC connection state, and the network device sends an RRCRelease message to the terminal device according to the current service type. If the RRCRelease message contains the suspension configuration SuspendConfig and LowerpowerWakeupConfig, and the LowerpowerWakeupConfig contains the first timer T301b, the terminal device first enters the radio resource control inactive state (RRC-INACTIVE state) from the RRC connection state, and starts the first timer T301b. If the timer times out, the terminal device goes from the RRC_INACTIVE state to the low-power wireless receiver state; if the RRCRelease message contains the suspension configuration SuspendConfig but does not contain If the LowerpowerWakeupConfig of the first timer T301b is configured, the terminal device will first enter the RRC inactive state from the RRC connected state, and then determine whether to enter the RRC idle state according to the existing 38.331 protocol. Since there is no LowerpowerWakeupConfig configuration, it cannot enter the low-power wireless receiver state; if the RRCRelease message contains the suspend configuration SuspendConfig and LowerpowerWakeupConfig, and the LowerpowerWakeupConfig contains the first timer T301b, the terminal device will first enter the radio resource control inactive state (RRC-INACTIVE state) from the RRC connected state, and start the first timer T301b. If the first timer T301b is running, the terminal device continues to maintain the RRC inactive state.

[0286] Optionally, the specific content of LowerpowerWakeupConfig is as follows:

[0287]

[0288] Among them, lpwus-periodicity is the transmission period of the low-power wake-up signal, ms1 is 1ms, ms2 is 2ms, and so on. It should be noted that the transmission period of the low-power wake-up signal can also be at the symbol or time slot level. The above is only an example; t301b is a timer used for conversion from the RRC inactive state to the low-power wireless receiver state; t301c is a timer used for conversion from the RRC idle state to the low-power wireless receiver state.

[0289] Referring to Figure 15, Figure 15 is a fourth example flow chart of the control method shown in the seventh embodiment. As shown in Figure 15, the terminal device is currently in the RRC connection state. The network sends an RRC Release message to the terminal device according to the current service type, which does not include SuspendConfig, but includes LowerpowerWakeupConfig low-power wireless receiver related information elements, and the included LowerpowerWakeupConfig contains a second timer T301c. The terminal device first enters the radio resource control idle state (RRC-IDLE state) from the RRC connection state and starts the second timer T301c. If the timer times out, the terminal device enters the low-power wireless receiver state from the RRC-IDLE state.

[0290] If the terminal device is currently in the RRC connected state, the network sends an RRC Release message to the terminal device according to the current service type, which does not include SuspendConfig, but includes the LowerpowerWakeupConfig low-power wireless receiver related information element, but the LowerpowerWakeupConfig does not include the second timer T301c, then the terminal device directly enters the low-power wireless receiver state from the RRC connected state.

[0291] The terminal device is currently in the RRC connected state. The network sends an RRC Release message to the terminal device according to the current service type, which does not include SuspendConfig, but includes LowerpowerWakeupConfig low-power wireless receiver related information elements, and the included LowerpowerWakeupConfig contains a second timer T301c. The terminal device first enters the radio resource control idle state (RRC-IDLE state) from the RRC connected state and starts the second timer T301c. If the timer is still running, the terminal device remains in the RRC-IDLE state.

[0292] Referring to FIG16 , FIG16 is a fifth exemplary flow chart of a control method according to the seventh embodiment. As shown in FIG16 , after the terminal device enters the low-power wireless receiver state, it will continue to receive a low-power wake-up signal (LP-WUS). If the peak value of the received LP-WUS and the local sequence autocorrelation exceeds a certain threshold and the correlation peak persists for more than a preset number of times, it indicates that the current network has a paging request for the group to which the terminal device belongs or the terminal device itself. The terminal device will switch the receiver from the low-power wireless receiver to the main radio receiver and perform a cell search to determine the cell to be camped on, thereby entering the RRC idle state and receiving the paging message at the specified paging opportunity. Finally, based on the content of the paging message, it is determined whether to obtain a system message update or initiate an RRC connection request.
