[0047] For ease of understanding, some contents involved in the embodiments of the present application are described below:

[0048] 1. Low power receiver.

[0049] The low power receiver can be called LP-WUR or almost zero power wakeup radio (AZP-WUR). The basic working principle of LP-WUR is that the receiving end includes a first module and a second module. The first module is a main communication module for receiving and sending mobile communication data, and the second module is a low power receiving module (also called a low power wakeup receiving module) for receiving the above wakeup signal. Figure 2 As shown. In the energy-saving state, the terminal turns on the low-power receiving module to monitor LP-WUS and turns off the main communication module. When downlink data arrives, the network-side device sends a wake-up signal to the terminal. After the terminal monitors the wake-up signal through the low-power receiving module, it triggers the main communication module from off to on after a series of judgments. At this time, the low-power receiving module enters the off state from the working state. The low-power wake-up receiving module can be turned on continuously or intermittently, and can receive the low-power wake-up signal when it is turned on.

[0050] 2. Low power wake up signal (LP-WUS).

[0051] In order to reduce the receiving activity of the terminal in the standby state, the RF and baseband (MODEM) modules are truly turned off, thereby greatly reducing the power consumption of communication reception. This can be achieved by introducing a near "zero" power receiver in the receiving module of the terminal. This near "zero" power receiver does not require complex RF module signal detection (such as amplification, filtering, quantization, etc.) and MODEM signal processing, but only relies on passive matching filtering and signal processing with low power consumption.

[0052] On the base station side, by triggering a wake-up signal on demand, the near-zero power receiver can be activated to receive the activation notification, thereby triggering a series of processes inside the terminal, such as turning on the RF transceiver and baseband processing modules.

[0053] In some embodiments, the wake-up signal is usually a relatively simple on-off keying signal. The time domain pattern of the on-off keying signal is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the receiver can obtain the wake-up notification through simple energy detection and subsequent possible sequence detection and identification processes. In another embodiment, the low-power wake-up signal can be a frequency-shift keying (FSK) signal, an OFDM signal, or a superposition signal of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and OOK or FSK. In addition, while the terminal turns on the low-power wake-up receiver to receive the wake-up signal, the main receiver module can maintain operation at a lower power consumption level, thereby achieving power saving by receiving the wake-up signal.

[0054] The reception of the low-power wake-up signal can be applied to a terminal in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) idle (RRC_idle) or inactive (inactive) state, and can also be applied to a terminal in an RRC connected state (RRC_connected), thereby achieving terminal energy saving.

[0055] In one embodiment, the low power consumption signal mentioned in the present application is the above-mentioned signal received by the low power consumption receiver.

[0056] In one embodiment, in the RRC connected state, the low power synchronization signal (Low Power Synchronous Signal, LP-SS) cannot be applied. The LP-SS is applied to the RRC idle or inactive state and is used for synchronization or measurement by a low power receiver. The LP-WUS and LP-SS are both received by a low power receiver. Since the terminal cannot receive LP-SS for synchronization or measurement in the RRC connected state, the terminal in the connected state can only receive relevant reference signals such as the synchronization signal block (Synchronization Signal and PBCH block, SSB) or the channel state information reference signal (Channel State Information Reference Signal, CSI-RS) through the main communication module to measure and estimate the LP-WUS reception performance.

[0057] Since OFDM signal modulation is commonly used in current NR systems, OOK signals can be generated in the same way as OFDM signals, for example, by sending or not sending an OFDM modulated sequence to indicate ON or OFF in the time domain. OOK signals can be received using receivers with lower power consumption, but such receivers have poor reception performance and coverage.

[0058] Furthermore, the OFDM modulated sequence in the modulation ON can further carry information through different sequences, for example, two sequences represent 0 and 1 information respectively, or four sequences represent 00, 01, 10, 11 information respectively.

[0059] Part of the information is carried through OOK modulation, and the other part of the information is carried through the OFDM sequence of the ON level.

[0060] Since demodulating the OFDM sequence requires a receiver capable of receiving OFDM signals, generally speaking, the demodulation performance of such receivers is better than that of low-power receivers that can only demodulate OOK signals.

[0061] 3. LP-SS.

[0062] The LP-SS signal is a signal that is sent periodically to transmit time information. The receiving end can obtain time synchronization information by receiving the LP-SS signal. In some embodiments, mobility measurement or channel measurement can also be performed by receiving the LP-SS signal. Both LP-SS and LP-WUS are received by a low-power receiver. In one embodiment, LP-SS can be regarded as a downlink synchronization signal for LP-WUS reception. In another embodiment, the LP-SS signal can also be used for terminal mobility measurement, such as cell selection or cell reselection, cell switching and other functions. In addition, optionally, the sequence of the LP-SS signal can have a certain correlation with the LP-WUS sequence. For example, the LP-SS signal sequence is part of the LP-WUS sequence.

[0063] In order to save energy, in the RRC idle or inactive state, the terminal can turn on LP_WUR to listen to LP-WUS instead of the main receiver (MR) to monitor the paging occasion (PO) until the LP-WUS indicating wake-up is detected, and the MR resumes monitoring. When the terminal is listening to LP-WUS, the terminal MR can sleep. However, in order to maintain the radio resource management (RRM) measurement, the terminal MR has to wake up periodically to perform RRM measurement because the RRM measurement of the serving cell cannot be relaxed. Therefore, even if LP-WUS monitoring is applied instead of MR for PO monitoring, the terminal power saving effect is not ideal due to the periodic RRM measurement of MR.

[0064] Therefore, in the study of LP-WUS, LP-WUR can be used to measure LP-SS to relax or replace MR for RRM measurement, so that the terminal power consumption can be greatly saved. However, in the RRC connected state, the MR of the terminal can hardly reach the sleep duration and sleep depth of RRC idle or inactive. In addition, the data transmission performance (delay, accuracy) of the terminal needs to be guaranteed under RRC connected. Therefore, LP-WUR is unlikely to be considered instead of MR for RRM, Radio Link Monitoring (RLM) or Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) measurement.

[0065] 4. Downlink Control Information (DCI) scrambled with cyclic redundancy check (CRC) using Power Saving Radio Network Temporary Identifier (PS-RNTI), namely DCI with CRC scrambled by PS-RNTI, referred to as DCP, can also be called DCI format 2_6 with CRC scrambled by PS-RNTI.

[0066] In order to further save energy under the discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration, the network may further configure DCP for the terminal on the basis of configuring the connected mode DRX (CDRX).

[0067] Each DRX cycle has an associated DCP. The DCP exists outside active time.

[0068] The Wake Up indication value in the DCP will be reported to the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer to determine whether to start the next DRX cycle duration timer (ondurationTimer). The reported value of '1' means to start the timer, and the reported value of '0' means not to start the timer.

[0069] 5. PDCCH skipping

[0070] PDCCH skipping is a method of energy saving by indicating to skip PDCCH monitoring within a certain time interval (i.e. skipping duration) through PDCCH skipping indication in DCI. For example, PDCCH skipping DCI is used to indicate to skip PDCCH monitoring in the following 4, 8, and 16 slots. Skipping monitoring means not monitoring. However, it should be noted that the PDCCH skipping for a period of time mentioned here refers to the first type of PDCCH, such as the PDCCH corresponding to Type3-PDCCH CSS sets or USS sets. That is, skipping the PDCCH corresponding to Type3-PDCCH CSS sets or USSsets.

[0071] There are two types of terminal behaviors corresponding to the bit values ​​of PDCCH skipping indication. One type is that the bit value is all zero, and the corresponding terminal behavior is not to perform PDCCH skipping. The other type of bit value is not all zero, and the corresponding terminal behavior is to skip monitoring of PDCCH (PDCCH corresponding to Type3-PDCCH CSS sets or USS sets) within a specific time interval.

[0072] The currently supported skipping duration values ​​are as follows, and a maximum of 100ms of PDCCH monitoring can be skipped.

[0073] It should be noted that the current protocol supports methods for instructing the terminal to skip PDCCH monitoring, including: DRX timer expiration, PDCCH skipping indication to skip PDCCH monitoring for a period of time, and DCP indication not to turn on DRXondurationtimer. However, with these methods, the terminal must first obtain the PDCCH indication for skipping PDCCH monitoring through a period of PDCCH monitoring or meet the conditions for skipping PDCCH monitoring (such as timer expiration) before skipping subsequent PDCCH monitoring. In this way, the PDCCH monitoring brought about by the indication method for skipping PDCCH monitoring itself makes the terminal energy saving not efficient. For this reason, the monitoring processing method of the present application is proposed.

[0074] The monitoring processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below through some embodiments and their application scenarios in combination with the accompanying drawings.

[0075] Reference Figure 4 , the present application embodiment provides a monitoring processing method, such as Figure 4 As shown, the monitoring processing method includes

[0076] Step 401: The terminal executes a first behavior, where the first behavior includes at least one of monitoring a low power consumption signal and skipping monitoring of a physical downlink control channel PDCCH;

[0077] Step 402: When the first condition is met, the terminal continues to execute the first behavior;

[0078] The first condition includes at least one of the following:

[0079] During the execution of the first behavior, a first low power consumption signal is monitored, where the first low power consumption signal is used to trigger the terminal to continue to execute the first behavior;

[0080] During the execution of the first behavior, a measurement result of a signal or a channel is higher than or equal to a preset threshold, and no indication information for triggering the terminal to exit the execution of the first behavior is received.

[0081] In an embodiment of the present application, the monitoring power consumption of the first low power consumption signal is less than the monitoring power consumption of the PDCCH. Optionally, the first low power consumption signal is received by a low power consumption receiver on the terminal side, thereby achieving lower receiving power consumption. The PDCCH is received by a main receiver on the terminal side.

[0082] In one embodiment, when the terminal side receives or monitors a low-power signal, the main communication module on the terminal side (such as a main receiver) enters a sleep state, that is, it does not monitor a specific NR signal or signal (such as PDCCH), thereby saving terminal power consumption.

[0083] In one embodiment, the terminal determines whether the first condition is satisfied within a first duration, and the first duration is the duration for the terminal to perform the first behavior. That is, in one embodiment, the duration for performing the first behavior includes: the first duration.

[0084] The first low-power signal is used to trigger the terminal to continue to perform the first behavior, which can be understood or replaced as: the first low-power signal is used to trigger the terminal to continue to perform the first behavior within the second duration, or the first low-power signal is used to trigger the start of the second duration, and the terminal performs the first behavior within the second duration.

[0085] It should be noted that the terminal will continue to determine whether the first condition is met during the second duration. That is, if the first condition is met during the second duration, the terminal continues to perform the first behavior. For example, if the terminal monitors the first low power consumption signal during the second duration, the terminal continues to perform the first behavior. The lengths of the first duration and the second duration may be the same or different.

[0086] In one embodiment, the terminal executes a first behavior while a target timer is running; when a first low power consumption signal is monitored during the execution of the first behavior, the terminal restarts the target timer and continues to execute the first behavior while the timer is running.

[0087] In one embodiment, the terminal executes a first behavior within a target time window; when a first low power consumption signal is monitored during the execution of the first behavior, the terminal reopens the target time window and continues to execute the first behavior within the reopened target time window.

[0088] Optionally, the first low power consumption signal may explicitly or implicitly trigger the terminal to continue to perform the first behavior. For example, in some embodiments, the first low power consumption signal may include an instruction to perform the first behavior, and in some embodiments, the first low power consumption signal implicitly instructs the terminal to perform the first behavior by presetting a low power consumption sequence.

[0089] By triggering the terminal to continue to execute the first behavior through the first low power consumption signal, the terminal can continue to execute the first behavior after a certain condition is met within the first duration, thereby avoiding unnecessary PDCCH monitoring and reducing the power consumption of PDCCH monitoring.

[0090] Optionally, within the first duration, if the measurement result of the signal or channel is determined to be higher than or equal to the preset threshold, and the indication information for triggering the terminal to exit the first behavior is not received, the terminal is triggered to continue to execute the first behavior. This allows the terminal to continue to execute the first behavior without returning to PDCCH monitoring due to exiting the first duration, thereby avoiding unnecessary PDCCH monitoring and reducing the power consumption of PDCCH monitoring. The measurement result of the signal or channel is higher than or equal to the preset threshold, which can ensure that the terminal can normally receive low-power signals and maintain communication with the network. At this time, if the network side device has no data and needs to schedule the terminal to resume PDCCH monitoring, it can avoid the terminal returning to PDCCH monitoring due to the end of the first duration, but allows the terminal to continue to execute the first behavior directly according to the condition judgment in the low-power monitoring state (that is, in the process of executing the first behavior) to save power consumption. It should be understood that the measurement result of the above-mentioned signal or channel is higher than or equal to the preset threshold, which can be understood as that within the first duration, the average value or minimum value of the measurement result of the signal or channel is higher than or equal to the preset threshold, or during part of the first duration, the average value or minimum value of the measurement result of the signal or channel is higher than or equal to the preset threshold.

[0091] It should be noted that, if the first condition is satisfied within the first duration, after the terminal continues to perform the first behavior within the second duration, if the current moment is the second duration, if the first condition is satisfied within the current second duration, the terminal continues to perform the first behavior within the next second duration. At this time, the current second duration can be understood as the first duration.

[0092] Optionally, the monitoring opportunity of the first low power consumption signal is at a specific position or range within the first duration, for example, the monitoring opportunity of the first low power consumption signal exists within the last N time units within the first duration.

[0093] Optionally, the first low power consumption signal may include LP-WUS or LP-SS.

[0094] In an embodiment of the present application, a first behavior is executed by a terminal, and the first behavior includes at least one of monitoring a low-power signal and skipping monitoring of a physical downlink control channel PDCCH; when a first condition is met, the terminal continues to execute the first behavior; wherein the first condition includes at least one of the following: a first low-power signal is monitored during the execution of the first behavior, and the first low-power signal is used to trigger the terminal to continue to execute the first behavior; during the execution of the first behavior, the measurement result of the signal or channel is higher than or equal to a preset threshold, and no indication information is received to trigger the terminal to exit the execution of the first behavior. In this way, during the execution of the first behavior by the terminal, if it is detected that the first condition is met, the first behavior continues to be executed without returning to PDCCH monitoring, thereby avoiding unnecessary PDCCH monitoring and reducing terminal power consumption.

[0095] Optionally, in some embodiments, the terminal performing the first behavior includes: the terminal performing the first behavior within a first duration;

[0096] The first duration includes at least one of the following:

[0097] The running time of the target timer, when the target timer times out, the terminal resumes PDCCH monitoring;

[0098] Target time window.

[0099] In one embodiment, the target timer may be a newly defined timer for low-power signal monitoring, during which the terminal executes the first behavior, or the starting position of the timer is the starting position of executing the first behavior, etc. In this way, the timer is used to maintain the first duration, which is simple to implement, highly flexible in control, and has little impact on the protocol.

[0100] In one embodiment, the target time window is a PDCCH skipping monitoring time window, or a DRX inactive time period, etc. In this way, the timer target time window is used to maintain the first duration, which is simple to implement and has little impact on the protocol.

[0101] In the embodiment of the present application, the first duration may be maintained by a timer or a time window. When the first duration includes the running time of the target timer and the target time window, the running time of the target timer may be equal to the duration of the target time window, or when the target timer times out and the target time window ends, the terminal exits the first behavior, that is, the terminal resumes PDCCH monitoring.

[0102] Optionally, the terminal resuming PDCCH monitoring may be understood or replaced by the terminal falling back to PDCCH monitoring, or the terminal exiting LP-WUS monitoring.

[0103] Optionally, in some embodiments, the start time of the target timer is: the start time of executing the first behavior, or the end time of the time unit in which the indication information triggering the execution of the first behavior is received.

[0104] In the embodiment of the present application, since the start time of the target timer is clarified, the terminal and the network side device can maintain a consistent understanding of the execution time of the first behavior.

[0105] Optionally, the time unit may be a millisecond, a time slot, a sub-time slot, a frame or a sub-frame, etc., which is not further limited here. Optionally, the indication information may be indication information sent by the network side device through the PDCCH.

[0106] Optionally, resuming PDCCH monitoring may include resuming monitoring of multiple PDCCH formats. For example, in some embodiments, the terminal resuming PDCCH monitoring includes at least one of the following:

[0107] The terminal monitors the PDCCH based on the target discontinuous reception DRX cycle;

[0108] The terminal monitors the PDCCH based on the target search space group.

[0109] In one embodiment, the target DRX refers to a DRX of a specific DRX configuration. For example, the target DRX is a DRX of a specific DRX cycle.

[0110] In one embodiment, the target search space group refers to a specific search space group, for example, a default search space group configured in a network, or search space group #0.

[0111] Optionally, in some embodiments, the target time window satisfies at least one of the following:

[0112] The target time window is a periodic time window or a time window of fixed length;

[0113] The starting position and the ending position of the target time window are fixed.

[0114] In an embodiment of the present application, the starting position and ending position of the target time window are fixed, which can be understood as: the time position of the target time window in a cycle is fixed, for example, the starting position of the Mth time unit of a cycle is the starting position of the target time window, and the ending position of the M+Lth time unit of a cycle is the ending position of the target time window, that is, the running timeline (i.e., duration) of the target time window is fixed, which is simple to implement.

[0115] For example, in one embodiment, the target time window is a time window for executing the first behavior.

[0116] Optionally, the terminal continuing to perform the first behavior within the second duration can be understood or replaced by the terminal performing the first behavior for the second duration. Optionally, the length of the first duration is equal to the length of the second duration.

[0117] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the first condition is met, the terminal continues to perform the first behavior includes at least one of the following:

[0118] When the first condition is met within the first duration, the terminal continues to perform the first behavior;

[0119] When the first condition is met, the terminal starts or restarts the target timer at a first moment, and performs the first behavior during the running of the target timer;

[0120] When the first condition is met, the terminal continues to open the target time window at a second moment and performs the first behavior within the target time window.

[0121] In the embodiment of the present application, at least one of the first moment and the second moment includes: the end moment of the first duration or the start moment of the next time unit that meets the first condition.

[0122] Optionally, when the first condition is met at the third moment, the starting moment of the next time unit that meets the first condition can be understood as the starting moment of the next time unit of the time unit where the third moment is located. For example, the first condition is: if the terminal monitors the first low-power signal within the first duration, then the target timer or target time window is immediately started or restarted at the end moment of the time unit where the first low-power signal is located (or the start moment of the next time unit of the time unit where the first low-power signal is located). Since the time to start or restart the target timer and continue to open the target time window are clarified, the terminal and the network side device can maintain a consistent understanding of the time when the terminal executes the first behavior, thereby improving the reliability of communication.

[0123] Optionally, in some embodiments, at least one of the above-mentioned first moment and second moment may be no later than the target moment, and the target moment is determined based on a preset duration and the end moment of the first duration or the start moment of the next time unit that satisfies the first condition. For example, the first moment and the second moment are equal to the target moment plus the preset duration, where the preset duration can be agreed upon by the protocol or indicated by the network side device, and no further limitation is made here.

[0124] Optionally, the end time of the first duration may be understood as the end time of the above-mentioned target timer or target time window.

[0125] Optionally, in some embodiments, the target timer is a terminal-specific timer or a cell-common timer.

[0126] For example, if the target timer is a terminal-specific timer, different terminals can be configured with timers of different lengths, or configured or not configured with the timer, thereby achieving flexible processing and configuration for different terminals. For another example, a cell-common timer means that all terminals in the cell need to follow the operating rules of this timer, which can achieve simpler control and configuration of the network.

[0127] In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal can maintain a target timer, and the start or restart is for a target timer, rather than starting multiple target timers. In this way, the terminal and the network side maintain a target timer, which is simple to implement and has little impact on the protocol.

[0128] Optionally, in some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0129] The terminal determines the first duration based on at least one of the following:

[0130] The period of the low power synchronization signal LP-SS;

[0131] DRX cycle;

[0132] The period of the synchronization signal block measurement timing configuration (SS / PBCH block Measurement Timing Configuration, SMTC).

[0133] In the embodiment of the present application, when the first duration is determined based on at least two of the LP-SS cycle, the DRX cycle, and the SMTC cycle, the first duration may be greater than or equal to the maximum value, minimum value, or average value of at least two of the LP-SS cycle, the DRX cycle, and the SMTC cycle. Since the first duration is determined by considering the above cycle, the accuracy of the first condition judgment can be improved, thereby improving the reliability of the execution of the first behavior. For example, the above first duration may be less than or equal to any one of:

[0134] N LP-SS cycles;

[0135] M DRX cycles;

[0136] L SMTC cycles;

[0137] The maximum or minimum value of at least two of the above.

[0138] Optionally, in some embodiments, the measurement result of the signal or channel includes at least one of the following:

[0139] Measurement results of LP-SS;

[0140] Measurement results of a communication signal or a communication channel.

[0141] Optionally, the above-mentioned communication signals may include LTE signals, NR signals, 6G signals, etc., and the above-mentioned communication channels may include LTE channels, NR channels, 6G channels, etc. Since the measurement results of multiple signals or channels are taken into consideration, the accuracy of the first condition judgment can be improved.

[0142] Optionally, in some embodiments, the method further comprises any of the following:

[0143] If the first condition is not met, the terminal resumes PDCCH monitoring;

[0144] When the first condition is not met, the terminal resumes PDCCH monitoring after the first duration ends.

[0145] In the embodiment of the present application, if the average value or minimum value of the measurement result of the signal or channel is higher than or equal to the preset threshold during the first duration, it is determined that the first condition is met, and if the average value or minimum value of the measurement result of the signal or channel is lower than the preset threshold, it is determined that the first condition is not met. During part of the first duration, if the average value or minimum value of the measurement result of the signal or channel is higher than or equal to the preset threshold, it is determined that the first condition is met, and if the average value or minimum value of the measurement result of the signal or channel is lower than the preset threshold, it is determined that the first condition is not met.

[0146] For example, when the terminal determines that the measurement result does not meet the time point not lower than the preset threshold value, it falls back to PDCCH monitoring.

[0147] For another example, during the process of executing the first behavior, the terminal receives information that triggers the terminal to resume PDCCH monitoring. The information that triggers the terminal to resume PDCCH monitoring here may be explicit indication information carrying the indication of resuming PDCCH monitoring, or may be information that implicitly triggers the terminal to resume PDCCH monitoring through protocol agreement or network configuration. The information for implicitly triggering the terminal to resume PDCCH monitoring includes, for example, SR, RACH, etc.

[0148] Optionally, in some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0149] When the second condition is met, the terminal performs a second action;

[0150] The second behavior includes at least one of the following: exiting or suspending monitoring of the low-power wake-up signal and resuming PDCCH monitoring, and the second condition includes at least one of the following:

[0151] Monitoring a second low power consumption signal, where the second low power consumption signal is used to instruct to wake up the terminal;

[0152] Sending target information, wherein the target information includes at least one of a scheduling request (SR), a random access channel (RACH), a beam failure recovery (BFR), and a negative acknowledgement.

[0153] Because the communication priority of the second low-power signal and the target information is higher, that is, when the terminal monitors the second low-power signal or sends the target information, it is necessary to resume PDCCH monitoring for subsequent processing and modulation. Therefore, when the terminal monitors the second low-power signal or sends the target information, it is necessary to resume PDCCH monitoring, which can ensure that the terminal is immediately in a communication activation state in certain emergency situations, maintain communication with the network side device at any time, avoid unnecessary communication delays, and ensure communication reliability.

[0154] Optionally, monitoring the second low power consumption signal comprises: monitoring the second low power consumption signal during the execution of the first behavior;

[0155] Optionally, the sending of the target information includes: sending the target information during the execution of the first behavior. In one embodiment, the target information is sent during the execution of the first behavior by the terminal, and the terminal executes the second behavior; for example, the target information is sent during the first duration, and the terminal executes the second behavior.

[0156] Optionally, the monitoring power consumption of the second low power consumption signal is less than the monitoring power consumption of the PDCCH. In addition, the second low power consumption signal is received by a low power consumption receiver on the terminal side.

[0157] In the embodiment of the present application, when the first duration is the running time of the target timer, the second behavior also includes stopping or pausing the running of the target timer; when the first duration is the target time window, the second behavior also includes stopping or pausing the target time window.

[0158] In order to better understand the present application, some examples are given below for detailed description.

[0159] In some embodiments, the first duration is the running time of the target timer.

[0160] In order to prevent the terminal from failing to receive LP-WUS (the specific reason for failing to receive LP-WUS may be that LP-WUS coverage is limited) and being unable to be awakened to monitor PDCCH, the network side device can configure a target timer. The usage of the target timer is as follows: the terminal monitors LP-WUS during the operation of the target timer, and falls back to PDCCH monitoring after the target timer expires.

[0161] Optionally, the start or restart time of the target timer is at least one of the times of starting LP-WUS monitoring and skipping PDCCH monitoring. That is to say, with the target timer, the terminal can always return to PDCCH monitoring after the target timer expires, and will not be in the LP-WUS monitoring state for a long time due to failure to receive LP-WUS, that is, in the skip PDCCH monitoring state for a long time, which can avoid terminal loss of connection and ensure communication performance. However, in the case where the network side device is configured with a more conservative first timer duration, the use of the target timer will definitely cause some unnecessary PDCCH monitoring, thereby increasing terminal power consumption.

[0162] The embodiment of the present application can further solve the problem of increased power consumption caused by frequent expiration of the target timer based on the configuration of the target timer. The specific method is as follows:

[0163] 1) target indication information, the target indication information instructs the terminal to continue to perform the first behavior, or instructs the terminal to start or restart the target timer;

[0164] In some embodiments, the target indication information may be carried by a first low-power signal (e.g., LP-WUS) or may be implicitly carried by a first low-power signal of a specific type. For example, the network side device only sends the sequence part in the first low-power signal to implicitly indicate the terminal to start or restart the target timer. When the terminal receives the sequence, it restarts the target timer.

[0165] like Figure 5 As shown, if the terminal detects a first low power consumption signal during the operation of the target timer, the terminal restarts the target timer. Optionally, the position of restarting the target timer may be the end position of the time unit where the target indication information is received, corresponding to the moment t1 in the figure. When data arrives at moment t2, and the terminal detects that the LP-WUS wakes up the terminal for PDCCH monitoring in the subsequent LP-WUS monitoring opportunity, the terminal will stop the target timer at the subsequent moment t3. Alternatively, if the first low power consumption signal is not detected during the operation of the terminal target timer, it will fall back to PDCCH monitoring at moment t4 when the target timer times out.

[0166] In some embodiments, the terminal monitors the first low power consumption signal at a specific position of the first duration. Figure 5 As shown, the first low power consumption signal is monitored within a period of time before the target timer times out.

[0167] 2) The measurement result satisfies a preset threshold value or above, and no indication information for triggering the terminal to exit the first behavior is received (for example, LP-WUS wakes up the terminal to monitor the PDCCH).

[0168] In some embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, during the operation of the target timer, the terminal determines that the measurement result satisfies not less than the preset threshold value by detecting at least one of the LP-SS or communication channel or signal, and does not receive the indication information that triggers the terminal to exit the first behavior, and can report the measurement result to the network side device (it can be determined that it is still in the reachable coverage range of the LP-SS, LP-WUS or NR channel signal). The terminal can continue to monitor the LP-WUS by restarting the target timer at time t5, thereby avoiding the increase in terminal power consumption caused by falling back to PDCCH monitoring. When data arrives at time t2, the terminal detects that the LP-WUS wakes up the terminal for PDCCH monitoring in the subsequent LP-WUS monitoring opportunity, and the terminal will stop the target timer at the subsequent time t3. Alternatively, if the measurement result of the LP-SS during the operation of the terminal target timer does not meet the preset threshold value or receives the indication information that triggers the terminal to exit the first behavior, it will fall back to PDCCH monitoring at time t4 when the target timer times out.

[0169] In some embodiments, the duration of the target timer is configured by a network-side device or agreed upon by a protocol, and the target timer length satisfies a specific value or more. For example, it is not less than the period of W LP-SSs, or not less than the period of Q SSBs. Wherein W and Q are integers greater than or equal to 1.

[0170] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first duration is a target time window. The duration of the target time window may be fixed or not. If it is fixed, multiple target time windows may be included in the sleep duration of the terminal (the duration of skipping PDCCH monitoring).

[0171] Optionally, the running timeline of the target time window is fixed, that is, each target time window is connected at the end, and the starting position of the target time window is determined in the time domain.

[0172] In one embodiment, when the terminal determines that the first condition is met within the target time window, the terminal continues to start the next target time window at time t6 and executes the first behavior until the first condition is not met within a target time window or a second low-power signal (such as LP-WUS) is received within a target time window to wake up the terminal for PDCCH monitoring.

[0173] In one embodiment, the condition for the terminal to suspend the operation of the target time window is: it is determined that the first condition is not satisfied within the target time window or the second condition is satisfied within the target time window; the second condition includes at least one of monitoring the second low power consumption information or sending the target information. The target information includes at least one of SR, RACH, BFR and NACK.

[0174] The terminal monitors LP-WUS, target indication information, LP-SS, etc., which are specifically signals received through LP-WUR, during the duration of the target time window.
