[0164] FIG2a is an interactive schematic diagram of a communication processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2a, an embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a communication processing method, the method comprising:

[0165] Step S2101: the network device 102 sends first indication information to the terminal 101.

[0166] In some embodiments, the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal to enter the first state.

[0167] In some embodiments, the terminal is in an RRC connected state.

[0168] In some embodiments, the first state corresponds to the main transceiver of the terminal being in a non-active state. The first state can also be understood as the main transceiver being in a sleep state, a dormant state, a non-working state, a power-saving state, etc.

[0169] In some embodiments, the network device 102 may send the first indication information via an RRC message or downlink control information (Downlink Control Information, DCI).

[0170] Optionally, the first indication information may occupy 1 bit, and when the value of the 1 bit is a set value, it indicates that the terminal 101 enters the first state. For example, when the value of the 1 bit is 1, it indicates that the terminal 101 enters the first state on all service carriers.

[0171] Optionally, the first indication information may be sleep-related signaling. The network device 102 controls the terminal 101 to enter the first state by using the first indication information or by a mechanism related to entering the first state.

[0172] In some embodiments, the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal 101 to enter a first state on at least one carrier.

[0173] Optionally, the network device 102 may send the first indication information to the terminal 101 in units of carriers or cells. For example, the first indication information indicates that the terminal 101 enters the first state on one or more specified carriers.

[0174] Optionally, the one or more carriers may correspond to all service carriers of the terminal, or to a specific carrier group; for example, the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal to enter the first state on all service carriers, or to instruct the terminal to enter the first state on a specific carrier group.

[0175] Optionally, the first indication information may occupy multiple bits, each bit corresponds to a carrier or a carrier group, and when the value of any bit is a set value, it indicates that the terminal enters the first state on the carrier or carrier group corresponding to the bit.

[0176] In some embodiments, terminal 101 receives first indication information.

[0177] Step S2102, terminal 101 enters the first state.

[0178] In some embodiments, when the terminal 101 enters the first state, its main transceiver is in an inactive state, and the terminal 101 monitors and receives the LP WUS sent by the network device 102 through the LP WUR to achieve energy saving of the main transceiver.

[0179] Optionally, when the terminal 101 monitors the LP WUS instructing the terminal to wake up, the terminal 101 can wake up the main transceiver, that is, enter the second state to achieve communication. Otherwise, the terminal 101 can maintain the first state to maintain energy saving.

[0180] In some embodiments, according to the first indication information, the terminal 101 may enter the first state only on the carrier indicated by the first indication information, and may maintain the second state on other carriers.

[0181] Optionally, the second state corresponds to the main transceiver of the terminal being in an active state. The second state can also be understood as the main transceiver being in a working state, a wake-up state, a non-energy-saving state, etc.

[0182] In some embodiments, terminal 101 may also enter the first state when the first timer times out.

[0183] Optionally, the first timer is used to indicate the duration for which the terminal monitors downlink information.

[0184] Optionally, the first timer may be started each time the terminal 101 receives a DCI for scheduling uplink or downlink transmission, or may be restarted each time the terminal 101 receives a DCI for scheduling uplink or downlink transmission. When the first timer times out, it indicates that the terminal 101 has not received a DCI for scheduling data within the running time of the timer, and thus the terminal may enter the first state.

[0185] Optionally, different carriers or carrier groups are configured with different first timers, wherein a carrier group includes one or more carriers.

[0186] The terminal 101 may determine the timing of entering the first state on each carrier according to the running state of the first timer corresponding to each carrier, or the running state of the first timer corresponding to the carrier group to which each carrier belongs. Thus, according to the timer corresponding to each carrier, the terminal 101 may enter the first state only on one or more carriers.

[0187] Step S2103: after the terminal 101 enters the first state, the terminal 101 and the network device 102 do not transmit information based on the first channel or do not transmit the first RS.

[0188] Optionally, the first channel may be a part of the physical channels configured by the terminal. To facilitate the description of the subsequent embodiments, the configured physical channel may also be understood as a configured physical channel resource, or configuration information received for configuring the physical channel resource.

[0189] Optionally, the first RS may be a part of the reference signal configured by the terminal. To facilitate the description of the subsequent embodiments, the configured reference signal may also be understood as a configured reference signal resource, or configuration information received for configuring the reference signal resource.

[0190] In some embodiments, the first channel is at least one of:

[0191] Semi-Persistent Scheduling Physical Downlink Shared Channel (SPS PDSCH);

[0192] The first type (Type 1) of configured grant PUSCH (CG-PUSCH), referred to as Type 1 CG-PUSCH;

[0193] The second type (Type 2) CG PUSCH, referred to as Type 2 CG PUSCH;

[0194] The first RS includes at least one of the following:

[0195] Periodic reference signal;

[0196] Semi-continuous reference signal.

[0197] In some examples, taking the first channel as an example, the first channel includes at least one of SPS PDSCH, Type 1 CG-PUSCH, and Type 2 CG PUSCH.

[0198] Optionally, for SPS PDSCH, the network device 102 can use RRC layer signaling to configure the SPS PDSCH of the time domain resource period. The configured SPS PDSCH will not take effect immediately. The network device 102 needs to use DCI to activate the SPS PDSCH before the SPS PDSCH takes effect. Thus, the network device 102 can start transmitting data on the SPS PDSCH, and the terminal 101 can receive data on the SPS PDSCH after receiving the activation DCI. When the transmission is completed, the network device 102 can use DCI to deactivate the SPS PDSCH configuration.

[0199] Optionally, for Type 1 CG PUSCH, the network device 102 may use RRC layer signaling to configure the CG PUSCH of the time domain resource period, and the CG PUSCH may be used directly after configuration.

[0200] Optionally, for Type 2 CG PUSCH, the network device 102 can use RRC layer signaling to configure the CG PUSCH of the time domain resource period, but the CG PUSCH will not take effect immediately. The network device 102 needs to use DCI to activate the CG PUSCH configuration before the base station can start receiving data on the CG PUSCH. The corresponding terminal will send data on the CG PUSCH only after receiving the activation DCI. When the transmission is completed, the network device 102 can use DCI to deactivate the CG PUSCH configuration.

[0201] In some examples, taking the first RS as an example, the first RS includes at least one of a periodic reference signal and a semi-persistent reference signal.

[0202] Optionally, the periodic reference signal may include, for example, at least one of the following: a periodic channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), a periodic sounding reference signal (SRS), and a periodic tracking reference signal (TRS). The periodic reference signal may be applied or transmitted after the network device 102 is configured.

[0203] Optionally, the semi-persistent reference signal may include, for example, at least one of the following: semi-persistent CSI-RS, semi-persistent SRS. The semi-persistent reference signal is configured by the network device 102, and will not be applied or transmitted immediately after configuration, but will only start to be applied or transmitted after the network device 102 indicates activation using activation signaling; when the network device 102 indicates deactivation using deactivation signaling, the semi-persistent reference signal is deactivated, and application or transmission stops.

[0204] In some embodiments, the first channel or the first RS is activated or configured before the terminal enters the first state; that is, the first channel is activated or configured before the terminal enters the first state, or the first RS is activated or configured before the terminal enters the first state.

[0205] It can be understood that the activation of the first channel or the first RS can also be understood as the activation of the corresponding first channel resources or the first RS resources, or the activation of the corresponding first channel or the first RS configuration information. The first channel or the first RS to be activated has been described in the above embodiments.

[0206] The first channel or the first RS has been configured, which can also be understood as that the corresponding first channel resources or first RS resources have been configured, or the corresponding first channel or first RS configuration information has been received. The first channel or the first RS that takes effect after configuration has been described in the above embodiments.

[0207] Optionally, the activated first channel may include at least one of the following: SPS PDSCH, Type2 CG PUSCH, and the activated first RS may include: a semi-persistent reference signal. It can be understood that the activated first channel or first RS is used to refer to a channel or reference signal that needs to be activated using activation signaling before it can be transmitted after the network device 102 is configured.

[0208] Optionally, the configured first channel may include at least one of the following: Type 1 CG PUSCH, and the configured first RS may include: a periodic reference signal. It can be understood that the configured first channel or first RS is used to refer to a channel or reference signal that can be transmitted after the network device 102 is configured.

[0209] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 and the network device 102 do not transmit information based on the first channel or do not transmit the first RS, including the following situations:

[0210] After the terminal enters the first state, the terminal does not expect to receive information sent by the network device on the first channel;

[0211] After the terminal enters the first state, the terminal stops or pauses sending information to the network device on the first channel;

[0212] After the terminal enters the first state, the terminal does not expect to receive the first RS sent by the network device;

[0213] After the terminal enters the first state, the terminal stops or pauses sending the first RS to the network device;

[0214] It can be understood that the terminal 101 and the network device 102 do not transmit the first channel, which means that the terminal 101 and the network device 102 do not transmit information based on the first channel. Not sending the first channel means not sending information on the first channel, and not receiving the first channel means not receiving information on the first channel. For example, the terminal 101 does not send, stops sending, or pauses sending the first channel to the network device 102, which means that the terminal 101 is not sending, stops, or pauses sending information to the network device 102 on the first channel. The relevant description of receiving or sending by the terminal 101, as well as the description of sending and receiving by the network device 102, can refer to the description here.

[0215] The first RS is not transmitted between the terminal 101 and the network device 102 , for example, the terminal 101 does not send, stops sending or suspends sending the first RS to the network device 102 , indicating that the terminal 101 does not send, stops sending or suspends sending the first RS to the network device 102 .

[0216] Several examples of not transmitting the first channel or the first RS are listed below:

[0217] In an example, the network device 102 does not send data on the SPS PDSCH, and the terminal 101 does not receive data on the SPS PDSCH; or, the network device 102 does not send a CSI-RS or a TRS, and the terminal 101 does not receive a CSI-RS or a TRS.

[0218] In another example, the terminal 101 does not send data on Type 1 CG PUSCH or Type 2 CG PUSCH, and the network device 102 does not receive data on Type 1 CG PUSCH or Type 2 CG PUSCH; or, the terminal 101 does not send SRS, and the network device 102 does not receive SRS.

[0219] In some embodiments, after the terminal 101 enters the first state, the activated first channel or the first RS is considered to be deactivated. For example, after the terminal 101 enters the first state, the activated SPS PDSCH or Type2 CG PUSCH is considered to be deactivated.

[0220] It can be understood that the activated first channel or the first RS is considered to be deactivated, which can also be understood as that the related resources of the first channel or the first RS are considered to be deactivated, or the configuration information of the first channel or the first RS is considered to be deactivated.

[0221] In some embodiments, in a scenario where carriers are used as units, if the first indication information indicates that the terminal 101 enters the first state on one or more carriers, or the terminal 101 enters the first state on the part of the carriers when the first timer corresponding to one or more carriers times out, then after entering the first state, the terminal 101 and the network device 102 may not transmit the first channel or the first RS on the one or more carriers.

[0222] Step S2104, the terminal 101 switches from the first state to the second state.

[0223] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 may switch from the first state to the second state when receiving an LP WUS from the network device 102 and the LP WUS indicates wake-up.

[0224] Step S2105: The terminal 101 and the network device 102 keep not transmitting information or not transmitting the first RS based on the first channel, or transmit information or transmit the first RS based on the first channel.

[0225] In some embodiments, after the terminal 101 switches from the first state to the second state, the first channel or the first RS is still in a deactivated state. For example, after the terminal 101 switches from the first state to the second state, the SPS PDSCH or Type2 CG PUSCH that is considered to be deactivated is still considered to be in a deactivated state. Therefore, in this embodiment, after the terminal 101 switches to the second state, the terminal 101 and the network device 102 may not communicate based on the deactivated first channel or the first RS.

[0226] In some embodiments, in a scenario where carriers are used as units, after switching to the second state, the terminal 101 and the network device 102 may maintain not transmitting information based on the first channel or not transmitting the first RS on the one or several carriers, or transmit information based on the first channel or transmit the first RS.

[0408] Example 1:

[0409] For the SPS PDSCH or (Type 2) CG PUSCH that has been activated before the terminal enters the sleep state, or the (Type 1) CG PUSCH that has been configured, when the terminal enters the sleep state, the terminal does not receive the SPS PDSCH, or does not send the (Type 2) CG PUSCH or (Type 1) CG PUSCH.

[0410] Optionally, the sleep state corresponds to the first state of the aforementioned embodiment.

[0411] Example 2:

[0412] For the activated SPS PDSCH or (Type 2) CG PUSCH, and the configured (Type 1) CG PUSCH, when the terminal enters the working state, the SPS PDSCH or (Type 2) CG PUSCH is still in the activated state, and the (Type 1) CG PUSCH configuration is still valid.

[0422] (2) After a specific timer expires, the terminal enters a dormant state.

[0423] Optionally, the specific timer may be: a first timer that is restarted or started each time the terminal receives a DCI for scheduling uplink or downlink transmission. When the first timer times out (which means that the terminal does not receive DCI within the timer's running time), the terminal enters a sleep state.

[0424] (3) The terminal actively enters the sleep state and sends an indication message to the base station. The indication message is used to instruct the terminal to enter the sleep state.

[0425] Optionally, Example 4 can be performed based on Example 1.

[0432] (3) The terminal actively enters the sleep state and can indicate which cell or cells it enters the sleep state on through an indication signaling.

[0433] Optionally, the terminal may process the transmission of SPS PDSCH, Type 2) CG PUSCH or (Type 1) CG PUSCH on one or more cells in a dormant state according to the implementation methods of Examples 1 to 3.
