[0054] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0055] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a particular sequence or order.

[0056] For ease of understanding, some contents involved in the embodiments of the present invention are described below:

[0057] The existing network energy-saving transmission method usually instructs the network node to use energy-saving technology in power and base station RF when sending PDSCH. However, for the reception and transmission of other signals, for example, the transmission of common reference signals, no energy-saving operation is performed, that is, the common reference signals are always sent, and this part of the signal will still occupy a large part of the energy consumption of the network node, which leads to poor energy-saving effect of the existing network.

[0058] An embodiment of the present invention provides an energy-saving method for waking up a network node. When the network node is in a closed or energy-saving state before being awakened, the above-mentioned common signal does not need to be sent. At the same time, the radio frequency and baseband of the base station can be turned off or energy-saving, thereby achieving an energy-saving effect. Its energy-saving efficiency is 100%. However, after shutting down the network node, the original coverage area of ​​the network node will be covered by other network nodes, but because the coverage is far, the service performance is not necessarily good, so a means of waking up the base station is also needed. When the network node is awakened, the effect and performance of its service will be better than the scenario covered by other adjacent network nodes. The prior art lacks technical means for putting the base station into sleep, saving energy, and waking up the base station when needed. An embodiment of the present invention provides an energy-saving method for waking up a network node, which takes into account the communication coverage of the network while saving energy.

[0059] The embodiments of the present invention provide a transmission method, a terminal, a node, a device and a medium to solve the problem of poor energy saving effect of the existing network.

[0060] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a flow chart of a transmission method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, which is used in a terminal, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0061] Step 101: Receive configuration information sent by a first network node or a second network node.

[0062] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of one type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.

[0063] It is understandable that when the network node is turned off or power-saving, the network node does not send any signal, including the downlink SSB (Synchronization Signal and PBCH block) or SIB (System Information Block) scenario. The UE cannot synchronize with the target cell downlink and send an uplink wake-up signal for waking up the second network node. The UE lacks a downlink timing reference. Specifically, because the target cell does not send or does not send SSB for UE's transmission reference at certain times, the signal composition, transmission timing, and transmission direction of the wake-up signal may not be defined, and the direction of the transmitted signal cannot reuse the existing transmission behavior. Based on this, an embodiment of the present invention uses the first network node or the second network node to execute the transmission of configuration information.

[0064] like Figure 2 As shown, the first network node (the network node on the left side of the figure) can be understood as a currently working network node, and the second network node (the network node on the right side of the figure) can be understood as a network node to be awakened.

[0065] In the embodiment of the present application, the above transmission method may transmit at least one of data, signal, channel, and sequence.

[0066] In the embodiments of the present application, the network node can be understood as a base station, a cell or a network side device, and / or a carrier or a subcarrier (component carrier), and the network side device can include an access network device or a core network device, wherein the access network device can also be referred to as a radio access network (Radio Access Network, RAN) device, a radio access network function or a radio access network unit. The access network device can include a base station, a wireless local area network (Wireless Local Area Network, WLAN) access point (Access Point, AP) or a wireless fidelity (Wireless Fidelity, WiFi) node, etc. Among them, the base station can be called Node B (Node B, NB), evolved Node B (Evolved Node B, eNB), the next generation Node B (the next generation Node B, gNB), new radio Node B (New Radio Node B, NR Node B), access point, relay station (Relay Base Station, RBS), serving base station (Serving Base Station, SBS), base transceiver station (Base Transceiver Station, BTS), radio base station, radio transceiver, basic service set (Basic Service Set, BSS), extended service set (Extended Service Set, ESS), home Node B (home evolved Node B, HNB), home evolved Node B (home evolved Node B), transmission reception point (Transmission Reception Point, TRP) or other appropriate terms in the field, as long as the same technical effect is achieved, the base station is not limited to specific technical vocabulary.

[0067] The above-mentioned TRP can be a CORESET or PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel) corresponding to different CORESET (control resource set) pool indexes (CORESET pool index), or a PDSCH, PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel), PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel), signals and / or channels with different TCI (Transmission Configuration Indicator) states (TCI state) or spatial relations (spatial relation, spatial filter).

[0068] The transmission methods of the above configuration information include:

[0069] Mode 1: The first network node sends configuration information to the terminal, and the terminal sends a wake-up signal (that is, the first message in step 102 below) based on the configuration information sent by the first network node. For example, Figure 3 shown.

[0070] Mode 2: The second network node sends configuration information to the terminal, and the terminal sends a wake-up signal (first message) based on the configuration information sent by the second network node.

[0071] It can be understood that the above-mentioned first network node is in a working state, for example, the first network node is cell 1, the UE works in the cell 1, and the UE can obtain configuration information from the first network node.

[0072] The second network node is in a closed state, or in a DTX (Discontinuous Transmission) or DRX (Discontinuous Reception) state, or in a power saving or sleep state, and the second network node can transmit and receive in a certain specific time or time window (duration, period, time window). The terminal can receive the configuration information in the above-mentioned specific time or time window.

[0073] Optionally, the second network node sends configuration information; wherein the configuration information includes the configuration of the first message, and the second network node sends the configuration information in a broadcast or multicast manner, or through MIB (master information block) or SIB information.

[0074] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0075] Receiving second indication information sent by the first network node;

[0076] The second indication information indicates a time or a time window for the terminal to receive the configuration information or indicates a working time or an active time or a transmission time of the second network node.

[0077] In the embodiment of the present application, the first network node may inform the terminal of the time or time window for receiving the above configuration information through the second indication information, and specifically may inform the terminal of the time or time window for receiving the configuration information sent by the second network node.

[0078] For example, the configuration information can also be received within the downlink transmission time window of the second cell; cell 1 (first network node) indicates the downlink transmission time (time window) of cell 2 (second network node), and the terminal performs downlink reception within the time (time window) to obtain relevant configuration information; the corresponding behavior is that cell 1 indicates the downlink transmission time of UE cell 2, and the UE receives within the corresponding time of cell 2 to obtain the configuration information for waking up cell 2.

[0079] Optionally, the configuration information includes at least one of the following:

[0080] offset information, where the offset is an offset associated with the second network node;

[0081] Transmission opportunity information;

[0082] configuration information of the second network node;

[0083] Configuration information of the first message.

[0084] In the embodiment of the present application, by configuring the above information to the terminal, the terminal can send a wake-up message (first message) to the second network node based on the above configuration information.

[0085] Optionally, the offset information includes at least one of the following:

[0086] A first offset, where the first offset is an offset of a system frame number SFN of the first network node relative to an SFN of the second network node, or the first offset is an offset of the SFN of the second network node relative to the SFN of the first network node;

[0087] A second offset, wherein the second offset is an offset of a receiving time window of the second network node;

[0088] And / or, the transmission opportunity information includes at least one of the following:

[0089] a first transmission opportunity, wherein the first transmission opportunity comprises an opportunity for the second network node to receive an uplink transmission;

[0090] a second transmission opportunity, wherein the second transmission opportunity includes an opportunity for the terminal to send an uplink transmission;

[0091] And / or, the configuration information of the second network node includes at least one of the following:

[0092] a transmission period of the second network node;

[0093] a transmission time window of the second network node;

[0094] a duration of the transmission time window of the second network node;

[0095] Parameters related to the carrier spacing of the second network node;

[0096] A time division duplex (TDD) configuration of the second network node;

[0097] And / or, the configuration information of the first message includes at least one of the following:

[0098] One or more uplink signals or channels;

[0099] One or more sequences;

[0100] The sending direction of the first message.

[0101] In the embodiment of the present application, since the UEs all work under the first network node (for example, the current cell or cell 1), the timing reference can be used to reference the current serving cell (first network node), and then the wake-up signal (wake up signal) of the second network node (target cell, a closed energy-saving cell or cell 2) is sent. Alternatively, since the target base station (second network node) is in a completely closed state, the UE cannot refer to the downlink of the target base station (second network node) to send an uplink signal, and therefore the downlink of the current cell (first network node) can be used as a reference for the downlink timing (DL timing) of the target cell sending the signal.

[0102] Optionally, a first offset (SFN offset) may be set, that is, an offset of a system frame number SFN (System frame number) of the first network node relative to an SFN of the second network node, or the first offset is an offset of the SFN of the second network node relative to the SFN of the first network node. On the basis of obtaining the above first offset, the UE can send a first message (wake-up signal) with reference to the downlink time of the current first network node.

[0103] Exemplarily, SFN mod period = offset.

[0104] Optionally, the offset value may include at least one of the following information: system frame offset, subframe information, time slot information, and symbol information.

[0105] Optionally, a second offset may be set, ie, an offset of the receiving time window of the second network node, which may include information of a subframe and a time slot in the corresponding subframe.

[0106] Optionally, a first transmission opportunity and / or a second transmission opportunity may be set, wherein the first transmission opportunity includes an opportunity for the second network node to receive an uplink transmission; and the second transmission opportunity includes an opportunity for the terminal to send an uplink transmission. The first transmission opportunity may be configured with multiple occasions or occasion groups for receiving, and the second transmission opportunity may be configured with multiple occasions or occasion groups for sending.

[0107] For example, Figure 4 As shown, multiple occasions are configured for reception. This may be to consider that when a demodulation threshold cannot be met in one reception, the base station may receive in multiple reception windows or occasions. On the one hand, this is multiple attempts, and on the other hand, it can accumulate energy for multiple receptions.

[0108] Correspondingly, the UE may perform multiple transmissions in multiple occasions corresponding to the uplink.

[0109] The uplink occasion may be a plurality of uplink time slots starting from a specified system frame or subframe as an occasion;

[0110] Each occasion can be one or more time slots;

[0111] Considering that the UE does not perform uplink transmission according to the downlink timing of the second network device (for example, base station 2), the target cell may receive the signal with a certain deviation, and the definition of occasion can facilitate the definition of multiple transmissions or receptions of the UE.

[0112] The base station (the first network node or the second network node) may instruct the UE to transmit multiple times, such as 4 times or 8 times, so as to wake up the target base station.

[0113] Optionally, the first transmission opportunity includes at least one of the following:

[0114] a transmission opportunity indicated by the first indication information, wherein the first indication information is indication information sent by the first network node;

[0115] A transmission opportunity determined according to a time at which the terminal receives the first indication information;

[0116] a transmission opportunity determined according to the transmission opportunity information;

[0117] Physical Random Access Channel PRACH opportunity;

[0118] Sounding reference signal SRS transmission opportunity or time domain resource;

[0119] A transmission opportunity is determined according to a third offset, wherein the third offset is an offset relative to a PRACH opportunity.

[0120] In the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned transmission opportunity can be understood as a sending opportunity or a receiving opportunity.

[0121] In the embodiment of the present application, the transmission opportunity Occasion may be a PRACH (Physical Random Access Channel) opportunity, for example, the uplink PRACH signal of the UE triggered by the base station through the PDCCH is used as a wake up signal. Another method for determining the transmission opportunity Occasion may be to superimpose an offset on the existing RACH occasion and send it in the uplink time slot of the corresponding offset; the benefit is that sending it in the non-RO (RACH occasion) area can reduce the risk of conflict with PRACH, reduce the interference of PRAHC, reduce the impact on the capacity of PRACH, and avoid the UE-initiated CBRA (Contention Based Random Access) from waking up the sleeping base station, that is, avoiding the non-target non-awakened base station or cell from being awakened. That is, both the network node and the UE can consider that this is not a random access process, so there is no need to initiate the subsequent RACH process (for example, a 4-step RACH process).

[0122] Optionally, the sending a first message to the second network node according to the configuration information includes at least one of the following:

[0123] sending the first message to the second network node during a transmission period of the second network node;

[0124] sending the first message to the second network node in a transmission time window of the second network node;

[0125] The first message is sent to the second network node for the duration of the transmission time window of the second network node.

[0126] In the embodiment of the present invention, the transmission period may be a receiving and / or sending period, and the transmission time window (duration, period, time window) may be a receiving and / or sending time window. The transmission time window may also be a transmission time.

[0127] The base station (the second network node) performs uplink reception and / or downlink transmission in the above-mentioned reception and transmission time windows. The reception period is a period for performing uplink reception, and the transmission is a period for performing downlink transmission. The base station (the second network node) performs uplink reception or transmission in the time window or the duration of the time window. The terminal performs uplink transmission or transmission in the corresponding transmission time window or time window. The terminal performs downlink reception or downlink transmission in the corresponding downlink time window.

[0128] In the embodiment of the present invention, the reception time window of the second network node corresponds to the transmission of the terminal or the time window of the terminal transmission. In the time window of the terminal transmission, the terminal can send or transmit.

[0129] Optionally, the receiving period and / or the duration of receiving or the duration of the transmission time window of the second network node can be set. The above-mentioned receiving period can also be understood as the working period or activation period of the second network node, and can also be understood as the receiving time period of the second network node. The above-mentioned receiving time window can be a working time window or an activation time window. The above-mentioned terminal sends a first message to the second network node according to the configuration information. In the case where the configuration information includes the transmission period and / or transmission time window of the second network node, the terminal can send the first message to the second network node within the transmission period of the second network node, and / or the transmission time window (or transmission time), and / or the duration of the transmission time window.

[0130] Since the UE cannot achieve good downlink synchronization with the second network node (target cell), the duration can be larger to ensure that the second network node can correctly demodulate the uplink signals that cannot be accurately timed. For example, the duration can be one or two time slots.

[0131] Optionally, parameters related to the carrier spacing of the second network node may be set.

[0132] The parameters related to the carrier spacing may be, for example, the carrier spacing and / or a scaling factor of the carrier spacing. Different carrier spacings correspond to different time slot lengths and different numbers of time slots in one subframe.

[0133] Optionally, a time division duplex (TDD) configuration of the second network node may be set, for example, TDD-UL-DL configuration.

[0134] In this way, the UE can transmit in the corresponding uplink time slot of the second network node. In order to quickly activate or start the target base station, it can start working in the corresponding uplink time slot without adjusting the timing and TDD configuration. The UE can also transmit in the uplink time slot within the available system frame or subframe. The UE can transmit in the corresponding multiple uplink time slots, thereby improving the efficiency of waking up the base station. Transmission in non-uplink time slots may cause interference to the downlink users of this cell. Through TDD information configuration, the occurrence of this situation can be reduced.

[0135] Optionally, configuration information of the first message may be set.

[0136] The configuration information of the first message includes the content, direction, and sequence of the first message, for example, one or more sequences for configuring PRACH.

[0137] As an optional method, the above-mentioned first message can be PRACH or SRS (Sounding Reference Signal, reference signal for channel detection) or WUS (Wake Up Signal, wake-up signal). The advantage is that there is no need to re-modify the physical layer signal of the UE or base station, the implementation is relatively easy, and the existing sending and receiving modules and algorithms can be reused.

[0138] As an optional method, the sequence in which the first message is sent may be a specific sequence.

[0139] This specific sequence can be negotiated between multiple network nodes or a pre-configured sequence. Because it is the user who activates the cell base station, there is no need to identify the specific user, so fixing a certain sequence is beneficial for the detection of the awakened base station; on the other hand, if the network node can be sent a wake-up signal by multiple users, the probability of waking up the base station can be increased. The base station can trigger the transmission of multiple UEs because the signal is the same, thereby increasing the transmission energy and solving the problem of the transmission direction.

[0140] Optionally, the one or more sequences are preset sequences.

[0141] A unified, consistent or determined sequence can solve the problem of insufficient UE transmission energy and facilitate the detection and energy accumulation of the awakened base station. It can also facilitate multiple UEs to transmit in different directions and solve the problem of difficulty in determining the direction of a base station without SSB.

[0142] In the prior art, many signals refer to the transmission direction of SSB, or refer to SSB (consider SSB as reference or refer to), but the dormant base station does not send SSB. An optional method is to allow the UE to send in the direction opposite to the current serving base station (first network node).

[0143] A sequence or a small number of sequences can reduce the occupancy of PRACH resources, and even if the existing RACH occasion is reused, the impact on PRACH capacity can be reduced. For example, if it is configured in set B (different from set A dedicated to CBRA), it will not be affected by the CBRA initiated by the UE's initial access. That is, the base station will not be woken up at will without users needing to access.

[0144] The direction in which the UE sends the first message may be the same direction or different directions, or may be determined based on UE implementation. The direction may be a transmission configuration or a transmission configuration indicator, or a spatial filter, or a spatial relation, etc.

[0145] Using the same direction can improve the received energy; different directions are considered to be unable to use its own SSB or CSI-RS as the spatial filter or spatial relationship sent by the UE. Sending in different directions can improve the probability of the network node successfully receiving the first message. Different directions can be different directions for sending the above-mentioned first message between different UEs, or different directions for the same UE to send the first message multiple times.

[0146] Step 102: Send a first message to a second network node according to the configuration information; wherein the configuration information includes a configuration of the first message; and the first message is used to wake up the second network node.

[0147] The waking up the second network node may be understood as enabling the second network node to perform downlink transmission or uplink transmission, or triggering the second network node to perform downlink transmission or uplink transmission. Optionally, the second node performing downlink transmission may be the second network node sending SSB and / or MIB or SIB information. Optionally, the waking up the second network node may be triggering or enabling the second network node to perform downlink transmission, or triggering or enabling the second network node to send SSB and / or MIB or SIB information.

[0148] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0149] Receiving first indication information sent by the first network node;

[0150] The first indication information is used to instruct the terminal to send the first message.

[0151] In an embodiment of the present invention, the sending of the first message may be triggered based on the indication information of the first network node. The sending of the first indication information may be executed by the same network node as the sending of the configuration information, or may be executed by different network nodes; the sending of the first indication information may be sent at the same time as the sending of the configuration information, or may be sent at different times.

[0152] The first network node may send the first indication information when, after finding that the RSRP value or other received power of one or more UEs is lower than a threshold, the first network node triggers the UE to send a wake-up symbol.

[0153] Optionally, the first indication information sent by the first network node to the terminal includes:

[0154] The first network node sends the first indication information to a target terminal when the measurement results of one or more candidate terminals meet a preset threshold, wherein the target terminal is one or more of the candidate terminals.

[0155] In an embodiment of the present invention, the measurement result may be a RSRP (Reference Signal Receiving Power) value or other reference signal measurement results. The first network node may send the first indication information to one terminal or to multiple terminals. The terminal executing the method in the embodiment of the present invention is one of the target terminals.

[0156] The above-mentioned satisfying the preset threshold may be any one of being greater than the preset threshold, greater than or equal to the preset threshold, less than the preset threshold, less than or equal to the preset threshold, and equal to the preset threshold.

[0157] Optionally, the sending a first message to the second network node according to the configuration information includes:

[0158] When the receiving power of the terminal meets a preset threshold, a first message is sent to the second network node according to the configuration information.

[0159] In an embodiment of the present invention, the sending of the first message may also be triggered by the terminal's autonomous judgment based on the size of the received power. The above-mentioned received power may be an RSRP value or an SINR (Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio). The above-mentioned satisfying the preset threshold may be any one of greater than the preset threshold, greater than or equal to the preset threshold, less than the preset threshold, less than or equal to the preset threshold, and equal to the preset threshold.

[0160] Optionally, the sending a first message to the second network node according to the configuration information includes:

[0161] Send a first message to the second network node n times according to the configuration information, where n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0162] In an embodiment of the present invention, the probability of successfully waking up the second network node is increased by sending the first message multiple times. The sending directions (or transmission configuration (or TCI state) or spatial relation (spatial relation) or spatial filter (spatial filter)) of the n first messages are the same or different. The same direction can improve the received energy; the different directions take into account that the current service cell (or base station) cannot use its own SSB or CSI-RS as the spatial filter or spatial relationship sent by the UE, and sending in different directions can increase the probability of the network node successfully receiving the first message. Similarly, the spatial filtering of the n first messages can also be the same or different. That is, the transmission method of the n first messages can be the same or different.

[0163] Optionally, the sending the first message to the second network node includes:

[0164] Sending the first message to the second network node at a first time;

[0165] The first time includes at least one of the following:

[0166] First time slot, first transmission opportunity, first timing.

[0167] In the embodiment of the present invention, the first time may be determined according to the configuration information, or may be determined according to the first indication information, or in other preset ways.

[0168] Optionally, the first time slot includes at least one of the following:

[0169] an uplink timeslot of the second network node determined according to the TDD configuration of the second network node;

[0170] A time slot in a system frame or a subframe; wherein the system frame or the subframe is determined according to at least one item of the offset information;

[0171] a time slot indicated by the first indication information, wherein the first indication information is indication information sent by the first network node;

[0172] A time slot determined according to the time when the terminal receives the first indication information;

[0173] And / or, the first transmission opportunity includes at least one of the following:

[0174] a transmission opportunity indicated by the first indication information;

[0175] A transmission opportunity determined according to a time at which the terminal receives the first indication information;

[0176] a transmission opportunity determined according to the transmission opportunity information;

[0177] Physical Random Access Channel PRACH opportunity;

[0178] Sounding reference signal SRS transmission opportunity or time domain resource;

[0179] A transmission opportunity determined according to a third offset, wherein the third offset is an offset relative to a PRACH opportunity;

[0180] And / or, the first timing includes at least one of the following:

[0181] Timing determined according to an uplink sending time of the first network node;

[0182] Timing determined according to a downlink sending time of the first network node;

[0183] The timing is determined according to a fourth offset, the fourth offset being an offset relative to a current time indicated by the first network node.

[0184] In the embodiment of the present invention, in mode 1, the base station instructs to send a wake up signal at a determined time slot, and the sending may be configured to be k times.

[0185] The specific uplink transmission time may be directly indicated through DCI.

[0186] The UE can transmit on multiple time slots or time domain resources, and the transmission method can be configured to transmit in the same direction or different directions. The direction can be a spatial relationship or a spatial filter, or a beam, or a TCI state. The k transmissions can be transmitted on k consecutive time slots, or on k consecutive uplink time slots, or on k occasions. The k uplink time slots are based on the k uplink available time slots configured by the current base station. For example, based on the TDD configuration, it is judged to be an uplink or flexible time slot, where the flexible time slot or symbol does not overlap with the SSB; k occasions, based on the above configuration, such as SFN offset, period, system frame offset, subframe number, start symbol, etc., define multiple wake-up occasions for transmission.

[0187] Transmitting through the uplink time slot can avoid the interference to the downlink users of the cell that may be caused by transmitting in non-uplink time slots.

[0188] Mode 2, base station indication and triggering, does not specify a specific time, only after the DCI indication, the UE sends it on the occasion obtained according to the configuration information. It can be sent multiple times, such as k occasions, based on the above configurations, such as SFNoffset, period, system frame offset, subframe number, start symbol, etc., to define multiple wake-up occasions for sending.

[0189] Optionally, it may be a triggering method of one or more UEs, which may be indicated or triggered in a group common method or a group method. After receiving the DCI, the user in the user group or the indicated user sends a wake-up signal to wake up the target cell. That is, the first network node may send the first indication information in a broadcast or multicast manner. All UEs in the user group that receive the DCI send a wake-up signal, thereby solving the energy problem and the directionality problem. By not limiting the sending direction of the UE and enabling multiple users to send at the same time, the effect of omnidirectional transmission is achieved, or it makes it easier for the target base station to receive the sent signal.

[0190] Based on the scheduling and instruction of the current serving base station (first network node), the first message is sent:

[0191] a) It can avoid the problem of waking up the base station due to UE sending PRACH arbitrarily

[0192] b) The base station can determine that the target cell of the UE or the target cell of the handover is an unawakened or shut down cell through the information of the target UE, such as the mobility information and RSRP information. Therefore, the awakening of the dormant base station is more purposeful, and the UE is prevented from arbitrarily awakening some dormant cells or base stations that may not be used.

[0193] Based on the occasion of the wake-up signal, the problem of the timing reference of the uplink signal transmission is solved when the dormant base station does not send the SSB. At the same time, it also avoids the problem that the dormant base station has to monitor the UE wake-up signal at any time, avoiding additional energy consumption.

[0194] In the embodiment of the present invention, the time or timing of sending the uplink signal may also adopt at least one of the following methods:

[0195] Method 1: refer to the timing of the uplink transmission of the current cell (first network node);

[0196] Method 2: Use the downlink reference time of the current cell as the uplink transmission time; refer to the downlink reception timing of the UE;

[0197] Method 3: The base station indicates an offset under the existing timing as the time for uplink transmission; the time can be an estimated time offset based on factors such as the propagation distance between the first network node (for example, base station 1) and the second network node (for example, base station 2), so as to ensure that the signal sent by the UE can be received by the second network node (the dormant base station).

[0198] Optionally, the first time includes k time slots, where k is a positive integer greater than 1, and the k time slots are k consecutive time slots, or the k time slots are k consecutive uplink time slots, or the k time slots are k transmission opportunities.

[0199] Optionally, the first transmission opportunity includes multiple sub-transmission opportunities, wherein each sub-transmission opportunity is one or more time slots.

[0200] Optionally, multiple transmission opportunities may be determined based on the first transmission opportunity, and the multiple transmission opportunities may be used for multiple transmissions of the first signal, and each transmission opportunity may be one or more time slots.

[0201] Optionally, the first transmission opportunity includes one or more time slots.

[0202] Optionally, the second network node receives a first message sent by the terminal, enabling the second network node to perform downlink transmission or uplink transmission.

[0203] The second network node performs downlink transmission including sending a downlink signal or channel, or sending SSB or SIB information, etc.

[0204] Exemplarily, a dormant (for example, a base station in DTX and / or DRX state) or turned off base station, that is, base station 2, starts sending SSB and / or MIB or SIB information after receiving the wake-up signal. In other words, waking up base station 2 enables base station 2 to send SSB and / or MIB or SIB information.

[0205] Specifically, after receiving the wake-up signal or correctly receiving the wake-up signal, or the received wake-up signal energy meets (for example, greater than, equal to, or greater than or equal to, less than, less than or equal to) a certain threshold, the base station starts downlink transmission or uplink transmission. The transmission method in this embodiment receives configuration information sent by the first network node or the second network node; according to the configuration information, sends a first message to the second network node; wherein the configuration information includes the configuration of the first message; the first message is used to wake up the second network node. In the embodiment of the present invention, the energy-saving method of waking up the network node is used to improve the energy-saving efficiency of the communication system.
