[0235] As shown in FIG1 , a communication system 100 includes a terminal 101 , a first access network device 102 , and a second access network device 103 .

[0236] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 includes, for example, a mobile phone, a wearable device, an Internet of Things device, a car with communication function, a smart car, a tablet computer, a computer with wireless transceiver function, a virtual reality (VR) terminal device, an augmented reality (AR) terminal device, a wireless terminal device in industrial control, a wireless terminal device in self-driving, a wireless terminal device in remote medical surgery, a wireless terminal device in a smart grid, a wireless terminal device in transportation safety, a wireless terminal device in a smart city, and at least one of a wireless terminal device in a smart home, but is not limited thereto.

[0237] In some embodiments, the first access network device 102 or the second access network device 103 can be, for example, a node or device that accesses the terminal to a wireless network. The access network device may include an evolved NodeB (eNB), a next generation evolved NodeB (ng-eNB), a next generation NodeB (gNB), a node B (NB), a home node B (HNB), a home evolved nodeB (HeNB), a wireless backhaul device, a radio network controller (RNC), a base station controller (BSC), a base transceiver station (BTS), a base band unit (BBU), a mobile switching center, a base station in a 6G communication system, an open base station (Open RAN), a cloud base station (Cloud RAN), a base station in other communication systems, and at least one of an access node in a Wi-Fi system, but is not limited thereto.

[0238] In some embodiments, the technical solution of the present disclosure can be applied to the Open RAN architecture. In this case, the interfaces between or within the access network devices involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be transformed into internal interfaces of the Open RAN, and the processes and information interactions between these internal interfaces can be implemented through software or programs.

[0239] In some embodiments, the access network device can be composed of a centralized unit (CU) and a distributed unit (DU), where the CU can also be called a control unit. The CU-DU structure can be used to split the protocol layer of the access network device, with the functions of some protocol layers centrally controlled by the CU, and the functions of the remaining part or all of the protocol layers distributed in the DU, which is centrally controlled by the CU, but is not limited to this.

[0240] In some embodiments, the network device also includes a core network device 104, for example, including at least one of an Evolved Packet Core (EPC), a 5G Core Network (5GCN), and a Next Generation Core (NGC).

[0241] It can be understood that the communication 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. Ordinary technicians in this field 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.

[0242] The following embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to the communication system 100 shown in Figure 1, or a portion thereof, but are not limited thereto. The entities shown in Figure 1 are illustrative only. The communication system may include all or part of the entities shown in Figure 1, or may include other entities outside of Figure 1. The number and form of the entities may be arbitrary. The connection relationship between the entities is illustrative only. The entities may be connected or disconnected, and the connection may be in any manner, including direct or indirect, wired or wireless.

[0243] The embodiments of the present disclosure can 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), 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) networks, Device-to-Device (D2D) systems, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) systems, Internet of Things (IoT) systems, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X), systems utilizing other information transmission methods, and next-generation systems based on and extending these systems. Furthermore, multiple systems may be combined (for example, a combination of LTE or LTE-A with 5G).

[0244] 5G technology was introduced in 3GPP standard Release 15 (R15). 5G base stations consume four times more energy than Long Term Evolution (LTE) base stations, making network energy conservation an important means for operators to reduce the cost of operating 5G systems.

[0245] In 3GPP standard release 16 (R16), a wake-up signal (WUS) was introduced to save energy for user equipment (UE) in Radio Resource Control (RRC) connected state. A monitoring period (duration) for sending the WUS signal is defined by an offset value before the UE's connected discontinuous reception (C-DRX) on duration. During this WUS monitoring duration, the WUS signal, i.e., DCI 2-6, is sent and scrambled with the Power Saving Radio Network Temporary Identity (PS-RNTI). It is used to indicate whether the UE should wake up to monitor the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) during the next UE C-DRX on duration.

[0246] In 3GPP standard release 17 (R17), a paging wake-up signal (Paging WUS) was introduced to save energy for UEs in RRC idle / RRC inactive states. The Paging WUS, also known as the Paging Early Indication (PEI), is sent sometime before the Paging Occasion (PO) to indicate whether the UE is monitoring paging scheduling information at that PO. The PEI is DCI 2-7, scrambled by the Paging Early Indication Radio Network Temporary Identity (PEI-RNTI).

[0247] In 3GPP Release 18 (R18), the Network Energy Saving (NES) project was launched to reduce network energy consumption. The standard supports four NES functions:

[0248] SSB-less SCell

[0249] Cell discontinuous transmission / reception (cell DTX / DRX);

[0250] Antenna port adaptation;

[0251] Physical downlink shared channel transmission power adaptation (PDSCH transmission power adaptation).

[0252] In network energy conservation, how to schedule public resources is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0478] FIG5 is an interactive diagram illustrating an information transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG5 , the present disclosure embodiment relates to an information transmission method for a communication system 100, and the method includes one of the following steps:

[0479] Step S5101: The first access network device sends first information to the terminal, wherein the first information is used to indicate a first time domain configuration of a first time domain configuration of a public resource, wherein the first time domain configuration is different from an initial time domain configuration associated with the public resource.

[0480] For optional implementation methods of step S5101, please refer to step S2101 in Figure 2a, step S3101 in Figure 3a, step S3201 in Figure 3b, step S4101 in Figure 4a, step S4201 in Figure 4b and other related parts in the embodiments involved in Figures 2a, 3a, 3b, 4a, 4b, 4c and 4d, which will not be repeated here.

[0481] In some embodiments, the above method may include the methods of the above-mentioned communication system side, terminal side, access network equipment side, core network side, etc., which will not be repeated here.

[0482] The following provides a specific example in combination with any of the above embodiments:

[0483] Solution 1: Dynamic adaptation period of common channels and / or signals (common resources).

[0484] The network side notifies the new transmission mode of the common signal or channel based on the paging DCI. The transmission mode can be: periodicity, transmission timing pattern, etc. The common signal or channel can include: SSB, SIB1 other SIBs, paging, common PDCCH, RACH resources, etc.

[0485] For SSB, the period is the SSB period. For SIB1, the period is the SIB1 period. For common PDCCH, the period is the search space configuration period. For RACH, the period is the PRACH occasion association period and / or RACH period.

[0486] In some embodiments, a PRACH occasion association period and a RACH period (or referred to as a PRACH configuration period) are shown in FIG6 .

[0487] The transmission timing pattern can be: for SSB and SIB1, which transmission moments within the modification period are transmitted and which are not. A bitmap is used to indicate whether transmission is present. For example, each bit corresponds to a transmission moment. Setting the corresponding bit to 1 indicates transmission, while setting it to 0 indicates no transmission. For RACH, each bit indicates a PRACH occasion association period or RACH period. Setting the corresponding bit to 1 indicates the existence of the RO for the corresponding period; otherwise, it indicates cancellation.

[0488] The network notifies the terminal of the new transmission mode within a modification period (i.e., modification period m = modificationPeriodCoeff * defaultPagingCycle), and begins implementing the new transmission mode at the next modification period boundary. modificationPeriodCoeff can be the modification period of the system broadcast change or a newly configured coefficient for common signal and / or channel adaptation, and defaultPagingCycle is the cell DRX cycle.

[0489] Solution 2: Common channel, signal semi-static adaptive period.

[0490] The network side is based on a window and configures a common channel. The transmission timing pattern can be a transmission pattern within the window.

[0491] The transmission timing pattern can be: for SSB and SIB1, which transmission moments within the window are transmitted and which are not. A bitmap is used to indicate whether transmission is present. For example, each bit corresponds to a transmission moment. Setting the corresponding bit to 1 indicates transmission, while setting it to 0 indicates no transmission. For RACH, each bit indicates a PRACH occasion association period or RACH period. Setting the corresponding bit to 1 indicates the existence of the RO for the corresponding period; otherwise, it indicates cancellation.

[0492] Solution 3: Public channel, dynamic signal adaptation and impact on neighboring cells.

[0493] For SSB configuration, the neighboring cell will configure the frequency band granularity (per frequency) based on the SSB period. SMTC is used to notify the terminal residing in the cell to perform neighboring cell SSB measurement, perform cell selection, and / or reselection. If the SSB transmission period or transmission timing pattern changes, it will affect the terminal's measurement of neighboring cells and cell reselection. Therefore:

[0494] Case 1: If the SSB configuration changes, the neighboring cell is notified of the SSB configuration, such as the changed period or transmission timing pattern. The neighboring cell reconfigures the terminal's appropriate SMTC and / or per-PCI SSB transmission pattern based on the configuration.

[0495] Case 2: If cell DTX is configured or deconfigured, the neighboring cell must also be notified of the configuration or deconfiguration of cell DTX. The neighboring cell reconfigures the terminal's appropriate SMTC and / or per PCI cell DTX based on the configuration.
