In addition, multiple systems can also be combined (for example, a combination of LTE or LTE-A and 5G, etc.) for application.

[0104] In some embodiments, the terminal can achieve power saving through the mechanism of low-power wake-up receiver (Low-Power Wake Up Receiver, LP-WUR). Optionally, after the terminal enters the power saving state, the terminal can put the main receiver (Main Radio, MR) into a deep sleep (Ultra-deep sleep) state, and turn on LP-WUR to listen for wake-up signals that support low-power reception. In some embodiments, the wake-up signal is LP-WUS. When LP-WUR detects LP-WUS (Low-Power Wake Up Signal) for this terminal, the terminal turns on MR and performs normal data transmission and reception. In the above embodiments, the power consumption of MR is greatly reduced, and the power consumption of LP-WUR is very low, thereby obtaining a greater power saving gain.

[0105] In some embodiments, in order to detect LP-WUS normally, the terminal needs to obtain the time and frequency position of the network device sending LP-WUS. Optionally, the terminal can obtain time and frequency synchronization by detecting a synchronization signal. For example, the synchronization signal can reuse an existing SSB, or it can also be a low power synchronization signal (LP-SS). Based on the time and frequency synchronization obtained by SSB (Synchronization Signal / PBCH Block) and / or LP-SS, LP-WUS can directly carry wake-up information.

[0106] In some embodiments, LP-WUS may use ASK (Amplitude Shift Keying) modulation to carry wake-up information. OOK modulation is a special case of ASK modulation. The following description takes OOK as an example. It should be noted that the method can also be extended to ASK modulation. For example, on each OOK symbol, OOK on chip (high level symbol) represents bit 1, and OOK off chip (low level symbol) represents bit 0. LP-WUS information can also be after encoding, each coded bit is mapped to an OOK symbol, such as Manchester coding. For 1 / 2 Manchester coding, information bit 1 can be mapped to 2 coded bits (1,0), and information bit 0 can be mapped to 2 coded bits (0,1). For 1 / 4 Manchester coding, information bit 1 can be mapped to 4 coded bits (1,0,1,0), and information bit 0 can be mapped to 4 coded bits (0,1,0,1). The time domain or frequency domain sequence carried by each OOK symbol (more specifically, each OOK on chip) of LP-WUS can also carry wake-up information. On each OOK on chip, multiple bits of information can be represented by carrying different sequences. For example, if there are a maximum of M optional sequences for carrying information on each OOK on chip, then theoretically, M types of information can be carried on the symbol. If it corresponds to the number of bits, it can carry floor(log2M) bits.

[0107] In some embodiments, LP-WUR can support at least two types. One LP-WUR only supports envelope detection (Envelope Detection) of the OOK symbols of LP-WUS, hereinafter referred to as OOK based LR (Low-Power Receiver). The link performance of this receiver is relatively poor. Another LP-WUR can detect the time domain or frequency domain sequence carried by the OOK symbols of LP-WUS, thereby improving the link performance, hereinafter referred to as OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) based LR.

[0108] In some embodiments, for UEs in RRC (Radio Resource Control) idle / inactive state, LP-WUS uses codepoint to indicate the UE subgroup to be awakened. The following two codepoints are supported: (1) 1 codepoint corresponds to 1 UE subgroup; (2) 1 codepoint corresponds to all UE subgroups. The time domain / frequency domain sequence on LP WUS is required to carry all the information of LP WUS, and OFDM LR can obtain all the information of LP WUS from the OFDM sequence.

[0109] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is an interactive schematic diagram of an information processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to an information processing method, and the method includes:

[0110] Step S2101: The network device sends configuration information to the terminal.

[0111] In some embodiments, the terminal receives configuration information sent by the network device.

[0112] In some embodiments, the configuration information is used to configure an association relationship for the terminal. Alternatively, the configuration information is used to configure a way of indicating the wake-up information by a symbol for the terminal. Alternatively, the configuration information is used to configure an association relationship between the candidate sequence and the wake-up information for the terminal.

[0113] Optionally, the candidate sequence refers to a sequence carried in the time-frequency resource of the symbol included in the wake-up signal. Different candidate sequences may indicate different information or the same information, which is specifically implemented based on the configuration of the network device.

[0114] Optionally, the wake-up signal is modulated by ASK to generate symbols corresponding to high and low levels for transmission. For example, the wake-up signal is modulated by OOK to generate OOK symbols. Optionally, the wake-up signal carries the wake-up information through OOK on symbols.

[0115] Optionally, the wake-up signal occupies multiple subcarriers on the same time domain resources, and the candidate sequence is indicated by multiple subcarriers. For example, if the wake-up signal occupies 12 subcarriers, the wake-up information is indicated by a sequence with a length of 12. For another example, if the wake-up signal occupies 24 subcarriers, the wake-up information is indicated by a sequence with a length of 24. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present disclosure are described by way of example, and the present disclosure does not limit the number of subcarriers occupied by the wake-up signal.

[0116] Optionally, the association relationship is used to indicate the relationship between the candidate sequence and the wake-up information. For example, the association relationship includes a first association relationship or a second association relationship.

[0117] Optionally, the first association relationship includes a candidate sequence corresponding to the first symbol and information corresponding to the candidate sequence, and the number of candidate sequences is determined based on n. The first symbol is used to indicate n bits of information, and n is a positive integer. Alternatively, the first association relationship refers to an association relationship between the candidate sequence and the information corresponding to the candidate sequence in a one-to-one manner.

[0118] Optionally, the second association relationship includes a candidate sequence corresponding to the first symbol and information corresponding to the candidate sequence, and the second association relationship includes the same information corresponding to different candidate sequences.

[0119] It should be noted that the configuration information in the embodiment of the present disclosure can also be understood as a method for configuring a terminal on how to determine the wake-up information carried by the wake-up signal based on at least one symbol.

[0120] In some embodiments, step S2101 in the embodiment of the present disclosure is an optional step, and step S2101 may not be performed. It can also be understood that the manner in which the terminal determines the wake-up information carried by the wake-up signal based on at least one symbol in the present disclosure does not need to be configured based on configuration information. In some embodiments, the manner in which the terminal determines the wake-up information carried by the wake-up signal based on at least one symbol in the embodiment of the present disclosure is agreed upon by the communication protocol. Alternatively, it can also be understood that the manner in which the terminal determines the wake-up information carried by the wake-up signal based on at least one symbol is predefined.

[0121] Step S2102: The network device sends a wake-up signal to the terminal.

[0122] In some embodiments, the terminal receives a wake-up signal sent by a network device.

[0123] In some embodiments, the wake-up signal includes one or more symbols. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the wake-up signal carries the wake-up information through one or more symbols, and then the network device sends the wake-up symbol carrying the wake-up information to the terminal.

[0124] Optionally, one or more symbols are symbols for indicating on. Optionally, the symbol can be understood as on chip. Or, the symbol is OOK on chip,

[0125] In some embodiments, the time-frequency resource of the symbol carries a sequence, the sequence is used to indicate wake-up information, and the sequence is one of the candidate sequences.

[0126] Optionally, the wake-up information is used to indicate whether the terminal wakes up from a low power state. For example, the wake-up information is used to indicate that the terminal wakes up from a low power state. For another example, the wake-up information is used to indicate that the terminal does not wake up from a low power state. Optionally, if the terminal is in a low power state and receives the wake-up information, and the wake-up information is used to indicate that the terminal wakes up from a low power state, the terminal wakes up and transmits and receives data through the main receiver. For example, the terminal performs paging monitoring or other uplink data transmission and downlink data reception through the main receiver.

[0127] Optionally, the wake-up information is used to determine whether to wake up the terminal. For example, the wake-up information is used to indicate whether to wake up the terminal. Alternatively, the wake-up information is used to indicate not to wake up the terminal.

[0128] In some embodiments, if the wake-up signal includes multiple symbols, the information indicated by the multiple symbols together constitute the wake-up signal. Alternatively, each symbol is used to indicate partial information, and the partial information indicated by all symbols is the wake-up information.

[0129] It should be noted that the wake-up signal in the embodiment of the present disclosure is a low-power wake-up signal. For example, the low-power wake-up signal is LP-WUS. Optionally, the terminal receives the low-power wake-up signal through a low-power receiver.

[0130] Step S2103: The terminal determines the wake-up information carried by the wake-up signal based on at least one symbol.

[0131] In some embodiments, the at least one symbol includes a first symbol for indicating n bits of information and / or includes a second symbol for indicating m bits of information, where n is less than m and is a positive integer.

[0132] Optionally, the number of candidate sequences in the second symbol is equal to 2 raised to the mth power.

[0133] It should be noted that, if at least one symbol includes both the first symbol and the second symbol, the n-bit information indicated by the first symbol and the m-bit information indicated by the second symbol together indicate the wake-up information.

[0134] It should be noted that the number of first symbols in the embodiment of the present disclosure may be one or more, and the number of second symbols may also be one or more, and the number of first symbols and the number of second symbols in the embodiment of the present disclosure are not limited. For example, the wake-up signal includes a first symbol and multiple second symbols. Alternatively, the wake-up signal includes a first symbol and a second symbol. Alternatively, the wake-up signal includes multiple first symbols and multiple second symbols. Alternatively, the wake-up signal includes only one first symbol. Among them, the embodiment of the present disclosure is for illustration and does not limit the number of first symbols or second symbols.

[0135] In some embodiments, at least one symbol includes a first symbol, and n bits of information in the m bits of information indicated by the sequence in the first symbol are determined as wake-up information. Optionally, the first n bits of information in the m bits indicated by the sequence in the first symbol are determined as wake-up information. Optionally, the last n bits of information in the m bits indicated by the sequence in the first symbol are determined as wake-up information. For example, if m is 2 and n is 1, 1 bit of information in the 2 bits of information indicated by the sequence in the first symbol is determined as wake-up information. The 1 bit of information is the first bit of information in the 2 bits of information, or it may be the second bit of information, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0136] In some embodiments, at least one symbol includes a first symbol, and n bits of information indicated by the first symbol are determined based on a first association relationship as wake-up information, wherein the first association relationship includes a candidate sequence corresponding to the first symbol and information corresponding to the candidate sequence, and the number of candidate sequences is determined based on n.

[0137] Optionally, the number of candidate sequences is a power of 2. For example, if the first symbol is used to indicate 2 bits of information, the number of candidate sequences is 4, and if the first symbol is used to indicate 3 bits of information, the number of candidate sequences is 8.

[0138] Optionally, the number of candidate sequences corresponding to one symbol includes 4, and the first symbol indicates 1 bit of information, then 2 candidate sequences may be selected from the 4 candidate sequences to indicate 1 bit of information. For example, candidate sequence A is used to indicate 0, and candidate sequence B is used to indicate 1. It should be noted that the two selected candidate sequences have good autocorrelation and poor mutual correlation.

[0139] In some embodiments, at least one symbol includes a first symbol, and n bits of information indicated by the first symbol are determined based on a second association relationship as wake-up information, wherein the second association relationship includes a candidate sequence corresponding to the first symbol and information corresponding to the candidate sequence, and the second association relationship includes different candidate sequences corresponding to the same information.

[0140] Optionally, the number of candidate sequences corresponding to the first symbol is greater than the nth power of 2. Optionally, the number of candidate sequences corresponding to the first symbol is equal to the mth power of 2.

[0141] Optionally, multiple candidate sequences may be defined to correspond to the same bit information on one symbol. For example, among all four candidate sequences, candidate sequence 1 and candidate sequence 2 are defined to correspond to bit 0, and candidate sequence 3 and candidate sequence 4 are defined to correspond to bit 1.

[0142] It should be noted that the first symbol in the embodiment of the present disclosure may be the first symbol among multiple symbols, or may be the last symbol among multiple symbols, or may be any symbol among multiple symbols. In some embodiments, the first symbol may be configured by a network device, or the first symbol may be agreed upon by a communication protocol.

[0143] In some embodiments, if all wake-up information carried by the wake-up signal needs to have K bits, and there can be L candidate sequences on each symbol, then the candidate sequence on each symbol can represent log2(L) bits. If K / log2(L) is not an integer, then there will be one or more first symbols where the number of bits required is less than log2(L) bits. At this time, it is necessary to determine how to represent information that is less than log2(L) bits. For example, taking the number of candidate sequences L=8 as an example, one symbol can carry 3 bits of information. The OFDM symbol needs to carry all the information of the wake-up signal. Under different numbers of terminals, the number of bits required is as follows: See Table 1,

[0144] Table 1

[0145]

[0146] In some embodiments, the number of required code points is determined based on the number of terminal groups. Among them, the number of required code points includes code points for indicating each terminal and code points for indicating all terminals. Then when the number of terminal groups is greater than 1, the number of required code points is determined based on the number of terminal groups + 1. When the number of terminal groups is equal to 1, the number of required code points is equal to the number of terminal groups. In some embodiments, the number of required bits is determined based on the specific encoding method and the requirements of the wake-up information. In some embodiments, the number of required symbols is determined based on the number of required bits and the number of bits that each symbol can carry. Optionally, the number of bits that each symbol can carry is log2(L) bits.

[0147] It should be noted that if the bit information appears as follows: 0001, 0010, 0011, 0100, 0101, 0111, 1000. So for the first symbol, there are only three possible cases: 00 01 10, and no 11. At this time, even if there are 4 candidate sequences in the symbol, candidate sequence 4 will not be sent. However, after defining the correspondence between code points and bit information, the terminal can completely infer by itself that candidate sequence 4 will not be sent, so candidate sequence 4 will not be used for autocorrelation detection. The protocol only needs to agree on the correspondence between code points and bit information, and there is no need to agree in the protocol whether the sequence corresponding to a specific pattern is sent.

[0148] Step S2104: The terminal determines whether to wake up from a low power consumption state based on the wake-up information.

[0149] In some embodiments, the terminal determines whether to wake up the primary receiver based on the wake-up information.

[0150] Optionally, if the wake-up information received by the terminal is used to instruct to wake up the main receiver, the main receiver is woken up based on the wake-up information. Optionally, if the wake-up information received by the terminal is used to instruct not to wake up the main receiver, the main receiver is kept in a dormant state based on the wake-up information.

[0151] In some embodiments, the names of information, etc. are not limited to the names recorded in the embodiments, and terms such as "information", "message", "signal", "signaling", "report", "configuration", "indication", "instruction", "command", "channel", "parameter", "domain", "field", "symbol", "symbol", "code element", "codebook", "codeword", "codepoint", "bit", "data", "program", and "chip" can be used interchangeably.

[0154] In some embodiments, terms such as "certain", "preset", "preset", "set", "indicated", "some", "any", and "first" can be interchangeable, and "specific A", "preset A", "preset A", "set A", "indicated A", "some A", "any A", and "first A" can be interpreted as A pre-defined in a protocol, etc., or as A obtained through setting, configuration, or indication, etc., and can also be interpreted as specific A, some A, any A, or first A, etc., but is not limited to this.

[0155] The information processing method involved in the embodiment of the present disclosure may include at least one of steps S2101 to S2104. For example, step S2101 may be implemented as an independent embodiment, step S2102 may be implemented as an independent embodiment, and steps S2103 to S2104 may be implemented as independent embodiments, but are not limited thereto.

[0156] In some embodiments, at least one of steps S2101 to S2104 is optional, and one or more of these steps may be omitted or replaced in different embodiments.

[0157] In some embodiments, reference may be made to the steps and optional implementation methods of other embodiments recorded before or after the description corresponding to this embodiment, as well as other related parts in the description, which will not be repeated here.

[0158] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal identifies the wake-up signal sent by the received network device through at least one symbol included in the wake-up signal, and then determines whether the wake-up information carried by the wake-up signal wakes up the terminal, thereby improving the accuracy of the network device indicating whether the terminal is awake. Furthermore, at least one symbol includes at least one symbol including a first symbol for indicating n bits of information, and / or, including a second symbol for indicating m bits of information. Since the number of bits indicated by the first symbol is smaller than that of the second symbol, it is possible to indicate the wake-up information even when the number of information bits is not an integer multiple of m, thereby improving flexibility and the accuracy of the terminal in identifying the wake-up information.

[0164] In some embodiments, reference may be made to the steps and optional implementation methods of other embodiments recorded before or after the description corresponding to this embodiment, as well as other related parts in the description, which will not be repeated here.

[0165] Figure 3B is a flowchart of an information processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, such as Figure 3B As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to an information processing method, and the method includes:

[0166] Step S3201: The network device sends a wake-up signal to the terminal.

[0167] In some embodiments, the implementation of step S3101 can refer to Figure 2 The implementation method of step S2102 will not be repeated here.

[0168] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the wake-up information carried by the wake-up signal based on at least one of the symbols, and the wake-up information is used to indicate whether the terminal is awakened from a low power consumption state, wherein the at least one symbol includes a first symbol for indicating n bits of information, and / or includes a second symbol for indicating m bits of information, where n is less than m and n is a positive integer.

[0169] In some embodiments, the time-frequency resource of the symbol carries a sequence, the sequence is used to indicate the wake-up information, and the sequence is one of the candidate sequences.

[0170] In some embodiments, the at least one symbol includes the first symbol, and determining the wake-up information carried by the wake-up signal based on the at least one symbol includes:

[0171] n bits of information among the m bits of information indicated by the sequence in the first symbol are determined as the wake-up information.

[0172] In some embodiments, the at least one symbol includes the first symbol, and determining the wake-up information carried by the wake-up signal based on the at least one symbol includes:

[0173] The n bits of information indicated by the first symbol are determined based on a first association relationship as the wake-up information, wherein the first association relationship includes a candidate sequence corresponding to the first symbol and information corresponding to the candidate sequence, and the number of the candidate sequences is determined based on n.

[0174] In some embodiments, the number of candidate sequences is a power of 2.

[0175] In some embodiments, the at least one symbol includes the first symbol, and determining the wake-up information carried by the wake-up signal based on the at least one symbol includes:

[0176] The n bits of information indicated by the first symbol are determined based on a second association relationship as the wake-up information, wherein the second association relationship includes a candidate sequence corresponding to the first symbol and information corresponding to the candidate sequence, and the second association relationship includes different candidate sequences corresponding to the same information.

[0177] In some embodiments, the number of candidate sequences corresponding to the first symbol is greater than 2 to the power of n.

[0178] In some embodiments, the number of candidate sequences corresponding to the first symbol is equal to 2 to the power of m.

[0179] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0180] receiving configuration information sent by a network device, where the configuration information is used to configure the first symbol and / or the second symbol; or,

[0181] The first symbol and / or the second symbol are based on a communication protocol convention.

[0182] Figure 4 is a flowchart of an information processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, such as Figure 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to an information processing method, and the method includes:

[0183] In step S4101, a certain bit of the 2-bit information represented by the sequence on the on chip is used as the information bit, and the other bits are ignored.

[0184] In some embodiments, the on chip refers to the first symbol in the above embodiments.

[0185] It should be noted that step S4101 is only one possible implementation method, and in another embodiment, there are other methods for determining the bit.

[0186] In some embodiments, the candidate sequences on the on chip are restricted, for example, only two candidate sequences are restricted on the on chip to represent 1 bit of information.

[0187] Optionally, the on chip refers to the first symbol in the above embodiment.

[0188] Optionally, the fewer candidate sequences there are, the fewer blind autocorrelation detections the terminal needs to perform, which is beneficial to terminal energy saving. At the same time, two sequences with the best autocorrelation / worst cross-correlation can be selected from the four candidate sequences, thus reducing the probability of false detection.

[0189] In some embodiments, multiple sequences may be defined on the on chip to correspond to the same bit information.

[0190] In some embodiments, the on chip refers to the first symbol in the above embodiments.

[0191] For example, among all four candidate sequences, sequence 1 and sequence 2 are defined to correspond to bit 0, and sequence 3 and sequence 4 are defined to correspond to bit 1.

[0192] For another example, among all the 8 candidate sequences, sequence 1, sequence 2, sequence 3, and sequence 4 are defined to correspond to bit 0, and sequence 5, sequence 6, sequence 7, and sequence 8 are defined to correspond to bit 1. For another example, among all the 8 candidate sequences, sequence 1 and sequence 2 are defined to correspond to bit 00, sequence 3 and sequence 4 are defined to correspond to bit 01, sequence 5 and sequence 6 are defined to correspond to bit 10, and sequence 7 and sequence 8 are defined to correspond to bit 11.

[0193] The special on chip may be the last one of the multiple chips, or the first one, or another on chip. The position of the special on chip may be defined by base station configuration or protocol.

[0194] Optionally, the above content can be expanded. If all the information of LP WUS needs to have M bits, and each onchip can have N candidate sequences, then each on-chip sequence can represent log2(N) bits. If M / log2(N) is not an integer, then there will be one or more on-chips that require less than log2(N) bits. At this time, it is necessary to determine how to represent less than log2(N) bits of information. Taking the candidate sequence number N=8 as an example, one on-chip can carry 3 bits.

[0195] Since the OFDM sequence needs to carry all the information of LP WUS, the number of bits required under different UE subgroup numbers is shown in Table 1.

[0196] It should be noted that if the bit information is as follows: 0001, 0010, 0011, 0100, 0101, 0111, 1000. So for the first on chip, there are only three possible cases: 00 01 10, and no 11. At this time, even if there are 4 candidate sequences in the on chip, sequence 4 will not be sent. But after defining the mapping relationship between codepoint and bit information, the terminal can completely infer that sequence 4 will not be sent, so sequence 4 will not be used for autocorrelation detection. The protocol only needs to stipulate the mapping relationship between codepoint and bit information, and there is no need to stipulate in the protocol whether the sequence corresponding to a specific pattern is sent.

[0197] The embodiments of the present disclosure also propose a device (also referred to as a communication device, etc.) for implementing any of the above methods. For example, a device is proposed, and the above device includes a unit or module for implementing each step performed by the terminal in any of the above methods. For another example, another device is also proposed, including a unit or module for implementing each step performed by a network device (such as an access network device, a core network function node, a core network device, etc.) in any of the above methods.

[0198] It should be understood that the division of the units or modules in the above device is only a division of logical functions, and in actual implementation, they can be fully or partially integrated into one physical entity, or they can be physically separated. In addition, the units or modules in the device can be implemented in the form of a processor calling software: for example, the device includes a processor, the processor is connected to a memory, and instructions are stored in the memory. The processor calls the instructions stored in the memory to implement any of the above methods or implement the functions of the units or modules of the above device, wherein the processor is, for example, a general-purpose processor, such as a central processing unit (CPU) or a microprocessor, and the memory is a memory inside the device or a memory outside the device. Alternatively, the units or modules in the device can be implemented in the form of hardware circuits, and the functions of some or all of the units or modules can be realized by designing the hardware circuits.

All units or modules of the above devices can be realized in the form of a processor calling software, or in the form of a hardware circuit, or in part by a processor calling software, and the rest by a hardware circuit.

[0199] In the disclosed embodiment, the processor is a circuit with signal processing capability. In one implementation, the processor may be a circuit with instruction reading and running capability, such as a central processing unit (CPU), a microprocessor, a graphics processing unit (GPU) (which may be understood as a microprocessor), or a digital signal processor (DSP), etc.; in another implementation, the processor may realize certain functions through the logical relationship of the hardware circuit, and the logical relationship of the above hardware circuit is fixed or reconfigurable, such as a hardware circuit implemented by a processor as an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or a programmable logic device (PLD), such as an FPGA. In a reconfigurable hardware circuit, the process of the processor loading a configuration document and realizing the configuration of the hardware circuit may be understood as the process of the processor loading instructions to realize the functions of some or all of the above units or modules. In addition, it may also be a hardware circuit designed for artificial intelligence, which may be understood as an ASIC, such as a neural network processing unit (NPU), a tensor processing unit (TPU), a deep learning processing unit (DPU), etc.

[0200] Figure 5A is a schematic diagram of the structure of a terminal proposed in an embodiment of the present disclosure. Terminal 5100 is used to execute any of the above methods. In some embodiments, Figure 5A As shown, the terminal 5100 may include: at least one of a transceiver module 5101, a processing module 5102, etc. In some embodiments, the transceiver module 5101 is used to receive a wake-up signal sent by a network device, and the wake-up signal includes one or more symbols.
