[0083] The embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present disclosure, and should not be understood as limiting the present disclosure.

[0084] As shown in Figure 1, a method for waking up a network device provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure can be applied to a wireless communication system 100, which can include a user device 101 and a network device 102. User device 101 is configured to support carrier aggregation and can be connected to multiple carrier components of network device 102, including a primary carrier component and one or more secondary carrier components.

[0085] It should be understood that the above wireless communication system 100 is applicable to both low-frequency scenarios and high-frequency scenarios. Application scenarios of the wireless communication system 100 include, but are not limited to, long-term evolution (LTE) systems, LTE frequency division duplex (FDD) systems, LTE time division duplex (TDD) systems, worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) communication systems, cloud radio access networks (CRAN) systems, future fifth-generation (5G) systems, new radio (NR) communication systems, or future evolved public land mobile networks (PLMN) systems.

[0086] The user equipment 101 shown above may be a user equipment (terminal), an access user equipment, a user equipment unit, a user equipment station, a mobile station (MS), a remote station, a remote user equipment, a mobile user equipment (mobile terminal), a wireless communication device, a user equipment agent, or a user equipment, etc. The user equipment 101 may have a wireless transceiver function, and may be capable of communicating (e.g., wirelessly communicating) with one or more network devices of one or more communication systems and receiving network services provided by the network devices, where the network devices include but are not limited to the illustrated network device 103.

[0087] Among them, the user equipment 101 can be a cellular phone, a cordless phone, a session initiation protocol (SIP) phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a personal digital assistant (PDA) device, a handheld device with wireless communication function, a computing device or other processing device connected to a wireless modem, an in-vehicle device, a wearable device, a user equipment in a future 5G network, or a user equipment in a future evolved PLMN network, etc.

[0088] The network device 102 may be an access network device (or access network point). The access network device refers to a device that provides network access functions, such as a radio access network (RAN) base station, etc. The network device 103 may specifically include a base station (BS), or a base station and a radio resource management device for controlling the base station, etc. The network device 102 may also include a relay station (relay device), an access point, a base station in a future 5G network, a base station in a future evolved PLMN network, or an NR base station, etc. The network device 102 may be a wearable device or an in-vehicle device. The network device 102 may also be a communication chip with a communication module.

[0089] For example, the network device 102 includes but is not limited to: the next generation base station (gnodeB, gNB) in 5G, the evolved node B (eNB) in the LTE system, the radio network controller (RNC), the node B (NB) in the WCDMA system, the wireless controller under the CRAN system, the base station controller (BSC), the base transceiver station (BTS) in the GSM system or the CDMA system, the home base station (for example, home evolved nodeB, or home node B, HNB), the baseband unit (BBU), the transmission point (TRP), the transmitting point (TP) or the mobile switching center, etc.

[0090] Considering that there are communication links between network devices, some network devices can be awakened by other network devices after they are in sleep state. For example: in a heterogeneous network, there are several small base stations (small cells) under the wide area coverage of a macro base station (macro cell) for hotspot enhancement or hotspot coverage. When there is a communication link between the macro base station and the small base station, the macro base station can send a wake-up request to the small base station. For another example: in a homogeneous network, the coverage of each base station has coverage overlap only in the edge area of ​​the coverage range. When there is a communication link between different base stations (not limited to adjacent base stations), one base station can send a wake-up request to another base station.

[0091] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for waking up a network device. FIG2 is a flow chart of a method for waking up a network device according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG2 , the method includes steps S201 to S202. Specifically:

[0092] S201: A first network device sends a wake-up request to a second network device in a dormant state, where the wake-up request is used to instruct the second network device to end the dormant state and start a working state.

[0093] In some possible implementations, the first network device has already known in advance which second network devices are in a dormant state and which second network devices are in a working state.

[0094] S202: After receiving the wake-up request sent by the first network device, the second network device ends the sleep state and starts the working state.

[0095] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a network device wakes up other network devices by sending wake-up requests between network devices, thereby enabling the network device to save energy during the period when energy saving is required, and enabling the network device to smoothly switch states during the period when normal operation is required.

[0096] In the present disclosure, the dormant state of a network device may also be referred to as a deactivated state, for example, corresponding to a state in which the network device does not perform downlink transmission or performs only a very small amount of downlink transmission, such as only broadcasting a discovery reference signal (DRS) and not transmitting common control information, paging information, user data scheduling, etc. The working state may also be referred to as an active state, for example, corresponding to a state in which the network device performs downlink broadcasting and downlink data transmission normally.

[0097] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for waking up a network device. FIG3 is a flowchart of a method for waking up a network device according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG3 , the method includes steps S301 to S303. Specifically:

[0098] S301: A second network device sends sleep state indication information to a first network device, where the sleep state indication information is used to indicate that the second network device is in a sleep state.

[0099] S302: The first network device sends a wake-up request to the second network device in a dormant state, where the wake-up request is used to instruct the second network device to end the dormant state and start a working state.

[0100] The first network device may obtain the status of the second network device in the following two ways:

[0101] The first method is to determine the sleep state indication information and the maximum sleep time Tm.

[0102] The second network device has a maximum sleep duration Tm. After receiving the sleep state indication information sent by the second network device, the first network device can determine the time when the second network device ends the sleep state according to Tm.

[0103] For example, if the first network device receives the sleep state indication information sent by the second network device at time t0, it can be determined that the second network device ends the sleep state at time t0+Tm.

[0104] The second method is to determine the status based on the sleep state indication information and the working state indication information.

[0105] After the second network device is in the working state, it sends working state indication information to the first network device, so that the first network device determines the state of the second network device based on the received sleep state indication information or working state indication information. Specifically, after the first network device receives the sleep state indication information, it will assume that the second network device is in the sleep state until it receives working state indication information from the second network device again. After the first network device receives the working state indication information, it will assume that the second network device is in the working state until it receives sleep state indication information from the second network device again.

[0106] S303: After receiving the wake-up request sent by the first network device, the second network device ends the sleep state and starts the working state.

[0107] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, status indication information is transmitted between network devices, and a network device wakes up other network devices by sending wake-up requests between network devices, thereby enabling the network device to save energy during the period when energy saving is required, and enabling the network device to smoothly switch states during the period when normal operation is required.

[0108] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for waking up a network device. FIG4 is a flow chart showing a method for waking up a network device according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG4 , the method includes steps S401 to S403. Specifically:

[0109] S401: A second network device sends sleep state indication information to a first network device, where the sleep state indication information is used to indicate that the second network device is about to enter a sleep state.

[0110] In some possible implementations, a network device enters a sleep state at a time corresponding to a set duration T after sending sleep state indication information. For example, a second network device sends a sleep state indication information to a first network device at a first time t1 and enters a sleep state at a second time t2, where t2 = t1 + T. The set duration T is a fixed value agreed upon in a protocol or a fixed value pre-set in the network device.

[0111] S402: After determining that the second network device is in a dormant state, the first network device sends a wake-up request to the second network device in the dormant state, where the wake-up request is used to instruct the second network device to end the dormant state and start a working state.

[0112] In some possible implementations, after receiving the sleep state indication information sent by the second network device at the third time t3, the first network device determines that the second network device is in the sleep state at the fourth time t4, where t4=t3+T.

[0113] S403: After receiving the wake-up request sent by the first network device, the second network device ends the sleep state and starts the working state.

[0114] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for waking up a network device. FIG5 is a flowchart of a method for waking up a network device according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG5 , the method includes steps S501 to S505. Specifically:

[0115] S501: User equipment sends a radio resource management measurement (RRM) result to a first network device.

[0116] The RRM result includes a first measurement result and at least one second measurement result. The first measurement result is a measurement result of a reference signal of a first network device, and the second measurement result is a measurement result of a discovery reference signal of a second network device, where the second network device is in a dormant state. The first network device is the current serving network device of the user equipment, and the second network device is not the current serving network device of the user equipment, that is, the second network device is a non-serving network device of the user equipment.

[0117] The reference signal for measurement broadcasted when the second network device is in a working state (i.e., not in a dormant state) may be, for example, an SSB / CSI-RS. When in a dormant state, a discovery reference signal (DRS) is broadcast (generally periodically). The transmission period of the DRS is generally sparse, and the base station does not need to send any information for most of the time, thereby saving energy. This DRS may include information agreed upon by the protocol, and this DRS may also include a cell identifier, or may also include a cell identifier and a synchronization signal. Thus, when the second network device is in a working state, the user equipment measures the reference signal of the second network device, and when the second network device is in a dormant state, it measures the DRS of the second network device.

[0118] In some possible implementations, the RRM measurement result includes only the first measurement result and at least one second measurement result. That is, in addition to the measurement result of the reference signal of the first network device, the RRM measurement result includes only the measurement result of the second network device in the dormant state. Accordingly, the user equipment only measures the reference signal of the first network device and the DRS of the second network device in the dormant state.

[0119] In some possible implementations, the RRM measurement result includes, in addition to the first measurement result and at least one second measurement result, at least one third measurement result, where the third measurement result is a measurement result of a reference signal of a second network device in a working state. Accordingly, in addition to measuring the reference signal of the first network device and the DRS of the second network device in a dormant state, the user equipment also measures the reference signal of the second network device in a working state. In this implementation, the first network device determines the status of each second network device according to the method of obtaining the status of the second network device in the embodiment shown in FIG3 , and distinguishes the second measurement result and the third measurement result in the RRM measurement result according to the status of the second network device.

[0120] S502: Determine a second network device to be awakened according to the radio resource management measurement result.

[0121] In some possible implementations, when the first measurement result is lower than a first threshold, the second network device to be awakened is determined based on the at least one second measurement result. That is, when the user device's measurement result of the reference signal of the first network device is not ideal, it is determined which second network device to be awakened is based on the at least one second measurement result. When the user device's measurement result of the reference signal of the first network device is relatively ideal, there is no need to determine the second network device to be awakened, nor is there any need to wake up the second network device.

[0122] In some possible implementations, determining the second network device to be awakened according to the at least one second measurement result includes the following methods:

[0123] Method 1: The second network device corresponding to the second measurement result higher than the second threshold is the second network device to be awakened, that is, the second network device with a better measurement result is selected as the second network device to be awakened according to the second threshold. For example, all second network devices corresponding to the second measurement result higher than the second threshold are used as the second network devices to be awakened.

[0124] In a second approach, when the number of second measurement results that are higher than the second threshold is greater than 1, the second network device to be awakened is determined according to the selection strategy and the second measurement results that are higher than the second threshold.

[0125] Select a strategy from the following:

[0126] Selecting the second network device corresponding to the second measurement result with the best measurement value as the second network device;

[0127] Any second network device corresponding to any second measurement result is selected as the second network device.

[0128] S503: The first network device sends a wake-up request to the second network device to be awakened, where the wake-up request is used to instruct the second network device to end the sleep state and start the working state.

[0129] S504: After receiving the wake-up request sent by the first network device, the second network device to be awakened ends the sleep state and starts the working state, or sends a wake-up rejection response message to the first network device.

[0130] S505, after the first network device receives the rejection wake-up response information sent by at least one of the second network devices to be awakened, the first network device determines at least one second network device from the other second network devices measured in the wireless resource management measurement results except the second network device that sends the response information.

[0131] S506: The first network device sends a wake-up request to the determined at least one second network device.

[0132] The second network device measured in the radio resource management measurement result refers to the second network device corresponding to the measurement object (ie, the discovery reference signal) of the second measurement result in the radio resource management measurement result.

[0133] In some possible implementations, after the first network device receives the wake-up rejection response information sent by the second network device to be awakened, the first network device determines at least one second network device as the fourth network device to be awakened among the second network devices measured in the wireless resource management measurement results except the third network device, and sends a wake-up request to the fourth network device to be awakened, wherein the third network device is the second network device that sends the wake-up rejection response information.

[0134] Among them, the first network device can mark the second network device that sends the rejection wake-up response information as a third network device, and can also mark other second network devices measured in the wireless resource management measurement results except the third network device as fourth network devices, and determine a fourth network device to be awakened in the fourth network device.

[0135] In some possible implementations, the first network device maintains a measurement configuration list for the user equipment, where the measurement configuration list includes measurement configuration information for different second network devices. Upon receiving a wake-up rejection response message sent by the second network device, the first network device deletes the measurement configuration information of the second network device that sent the wake-up rejection response message from the measurement configuration list set for the user equipment, indicating that the second network device will no longer be used as a measurement object in the future. The measurement configuration information of the second network device includes an identifier and measurement configuration of the second network device.

[0136] In some possible implementations, the method further includes before S501: at least one second network device sends sleep state indication information to the first network device, where the sleep state indication information is used to indicate that the second network device is in a sleep state or is about to enter a sleep state.

[0137] In some possible implementations, before S501 , the method further includes: sending first measurement configuration information to the user equipment, where the first measurement configuration information is used for measuring a discovery reference signal of the second network device.

[0138] In some possible implementations, S501 also includes: sending second measurement configuration information to the user equipment, where the second measurement configuration information is used to configure a third threshold, and the third threshold is used to trigger the user equipment to start measuring the reference signal of the second network device, for example: when the user equipment's measurement result of the reference signal of the first network device is less than the third threshold, starting to measure the reference signal of the second network device.

[0139] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first network device receives the measurement results of the user device on the first network device and the second network device, determines the second network device to be awakened based on the measurement results, and enables the network device to wake up other network devices by sending wake-up requests between network devices. The measurement function of the user device can be used to conveniently select a more reasonable network device to be awakened.

[0140] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for waking up a network device, which is performed by a first network device. FIG6 is a flowchart of a method for waking up a network device according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG6 , the method includes steps S601 to S602. Specifically:

[0141] S601: Receive sleep state indication information sent by a second network device, where the sleep state indication information is used to indicate that the second network device is in a sleep state.

[0142] S602: Send a wake-up request to a second network device in a dormant state, where the wake-up request is used to instruct the second network device to end the dormant state and start a working state.

[0143] The first network device may obtain the status of the second network device in the following two ways:

[0144] The first method is to determine the sleep state indication information and the maximum sleep time Tm.

[0145] The second network device has a maximum sleep duration Tm. After receiving the sleep state indication information sent by the second network device, the first network device can determine the time when the second network device ends the sleep state according to Tm.

[0146] For example, if the first network device receives the sleep state indication information sent by the second network device at time t0, it can be determined that the second network device ends the sleep state at time t0+Tm.

[0147] The second method is to determine the status based on the sleep state indication information and the working state indication information.

[0148] After the second network device is in the working state, it sends working state indication information to the first network device, so that the first network device determines the state of the second network device based on the received sleep state indication information or working state indication information. Specifically, after the first network device receives the sleep state indication information, it will assume that the second network device is in the sleep state until it receives working state indication information from the second network device again. After the first network device receives the working state indication information, it will assume that the second network device is in the working state until it receives sleep state indication information from the second network device again.

[0149] In some possible implementations, before S601 , the method further includes: receiving sleep state indication information sent by the second network device, where the sleep state indication information is used to indicate that the second network device is about to enter a sleep state.

[0150] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for waking up a network device, which is performed by a first network device. FIG7 is a flowchart of a method for waking up a network device according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG7 , the method includes steps S701 to S702. Specifically:

[0151] S701: Receive sleep state indication information sent by a second network device, where the sleep state indication information is used to indicate that the second network device is about to enter a sleep state.

[0152] In some possible implementations, a network device enters a dormant state at a time corresponding to a set duration T after sending dormant state indication information. For example, a second network device sends a dormant state indication information to a first network device at first time t1 and enters a dormant state at second time t2, where t2 = t1 + T. The set duration T is a fixed value agreed upon in the protocol or pre-set in the network device. After the first network device receives the dormant state indication information sent by the second network device at third time t3, it determines that the second network device is in a dormant state at fourth time t4, where t4 = t3 + T.

[0153] S702: Send a wake-up request to the second network device in a dormant state, where the wake-up request is used to instruct the second network device to end the dormant state and start a working state.

[0154] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for waking up a network device, which is performed by a first network device. FIG8 is a flowchart of a method for waking up a network device according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG8 , the method includes steps S801 to S804. Specifically:

[0155] S801: Receive a radio resource management measurement result sent by a user equipment.

[0156] The RRM result includes a first measurement result and at least one second measurement result, wherein the first measurement result is a measurement result of a reference signal of a first network device, and the second measurement result is a measurement result of a discovery reference signal of a second network device, where the second network device is in a dormant state. The first network device is the current serving network device of the user equipment, and the second network device is not the current serving network device of the user equipment.

[0157] The reference signal for measurement broadcasted when the second network device is in a working state (i.e., not in a dormant state) may be, for example, an SSB / CSI-RS. When in a dormant state, a discovery reference signal (DRS) is broadcast (generally periodically). The transmission period of the DRS is generally sparse, and the base station does not need to send any information for most of the time, thereby saving energy. This DRS may include information agreed upon by the protocol, and this DRS may also include a cell identifier, or may also include a cell identifier and a synchronization signal. Thus, when the second network device is in a working state, the user equipment measures the reference signal of the second network device, and when the second network device is in a dormant state, it measures the DRS of the second network device.

[0158] In some possible implementations, the RRM measurement result includes only the first measurement result and at least one second measurement result. That is, in addition to the measurement result of the reference signal of the first network device, the RRM measurement result includes only the measurement result of the second network device in the dormant state. Accordingly, the user equipment only measures the reference signal of the first network device and the DRS of the second network device in the dormant state.

[0159] In some possible implementations, the RRM measurement result includes, in addition to the first measurement result and at least one second measurement result, at least one third measurement result, where the third measurement result is a measurement result of a reference signal of a second network device in a working state. Accordingly, in addition to measuring the reference signal of the first network device and the DRS of the second network device in a dormant state, the user equipment also measures the reference signal of the second network device in a working state. In this implementation, the first network device determines the status of each second network device according to the manner in which the first network device obtains the status of the second network device in the embodiment shown in FIG3 , and distinguishes the second measurement result and the third measurement result in the RRM measurement result according to the status of the second network device.

[0160] S802: Determine a second network device to be awakened according to the radio resource management measurement result.

[0161] In some possible implementations, when the first measurement result is lower than a first threshold, the second network device to be awakened is determined based on the at least one second measurement result. That is, when the user device's measurement result of the reference signal of the first network device is not ideal, it is determined which second network device to be awakened is based on the at least one second measurement result. When the user device's measurement result of the reference signal of the first network device is relatively ideal, there is no need to determine the second network device to be awakened, nor is there any need to wake up the second network device.

[0162] In some possible implementations, determining the second network device to be awakened according to the at least one second measurement result includes the following methods:

[0163] Method 1: The second network device corresponding to the second measurement result higher than the second threshold is the second network device to be awakened, that is, the second network device with a better measurement result is selected as the second network device to be awakened according to the second threshold. For example, all second network devices corresponding to the second measurement result higher than the second threshold are used as the second network devices to be awakened.

[0164] In a second approach, when the number of second measurement results that are higher than the second threshold is greater than 1, the second network device to be awakened is determined according to the selection strategy and the second measurement results that are higher than the second threshold.

[0165] Select a strategy from the following:

[0166] Selecting the second network device corresponding to the second measurement result with the best measurement value as the second network device;

[0167] Any second network device corresponding to any second measurement result is selected as the second network device.

[0168] S803: Send a wake-up request to the second network device to be awakened, where the wake-up request is used to instruct the second network device to end the sleep state and start the working state.

[0169] S804, after receiving the wake-up rejection response information sent by at least one of the second network devices to be awakened, determine at least one second network device among the second network devices measured in the wireless resource management measurement results except the second network device that sends the response information, and send a wake-up request to the determined at least one second network device.

[0170] The second network device measured in the radio resource management measurement result refers to the second network device corresponding to the measurement object (ie, the discovery reference signal) of the second measurement result in the radio resource management measurement result.

[0171] In some possible implementations, after the first network device receives the wake-up rejection response information sent by the second network device to be awakened, the first network device determines at least one second network device as the fourth network device to be awakened among the second network devices measured in the wireless resource management measurement results except the third network device, and sends a wake-up request to the fourth network device to be awakened, wherein the third network device is the second network device that sends the wake-up rejection response information.

[0172] Among them, the first network device can mark the second network device that sends the rejection wake-up response information as a third network device, and can also mark other second network devices measured in the wireless resource management measurement results except the third network device as fourth network devices, and determine a fourth network device to be awakened in the fourth network device.

[0173] In some possible implementations, the first network device maintains a measurement configuration list for the user equipment, where the measurement configuration list includes measurement configuration information for different second network devices. Upon receiving a wake-up rejection response message sent by the second network device, the first network device deletes the measurement configuration information of the second network device that sent the wake-up rejection response message from the measurement configuration list set for the user equipment, indicating that the second network device will no longer be used as a measurement object in the future. The measurement configuration information of the second network device includes an identifier and measurement configuration of the second network device.

[0174] In some possible implementations, before S801 , the method further includes: receiving sleep state indication information sent by at least one second network device, where the sleep state indication information is used to indicate that the second network device is in a sleep state or is about to enter a sleep state.

[0175] In some possible implementations, before S801 , the method further includes: sending first measurement configuration information to the user equipment, where the first measurement configuration information is used for measuring a discovery reference signal of the second network device.

[0176] In some possible implementations, S801 also includes: sending second measurement configuration information to the user equipment, where the second measurement configuration information is used to configure a third threshold, and the third threshold is used to trigger the user equipment to start measuring the reference signal of the second network device, for example: when the user equipment's measurement result of the reference signal of the first network device is less than the third threshold, starting to measure the reference signal of the second network device.

[0177] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for waking up a network device, which is performed by a second network device. FIG9 is a flowchart of a method for waking up a network device according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG9 , the method includes steps S901 to S902. Specifically:

[0178] S901, receiving a wake-up request sent by a first network device, where the wake-up request is used to instruct the user to end a dormant state and start a working state;

[0179] S902, ending the dormant state and starting the working state, or sending a wake-up rejection response message to the first network device.

[0180] In some possible implementations, before S901 , the method further includes: sending sleep state indication information to the first network device, where the sleep state indication information is used to indicate that the second network device is in a sleep state.

[0181] In some possible implementations, before S901 , the method further includes: sending sleep state indication information to the first network device, where the sleep state indication information is used to indicate that the second network device is about to enter a sleep state.

[0182] The second network device enters the sleep state at a time corresponding to a set time duration T after sending the sleep state indication information. For example, the second network device sends the sleep state indication information to the first network device at a first time t1 and enters the sleep state at a second time t2, where t2 = t1 + T. The set time duration T is a fixed value agreed upon in the protocol or a fixed value pre-set in the network device.

[0183] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for waking up a network device, which is performed by a user device. FIG10 is a flowchart of a method for waking up a network device according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG10 , the method includes steps S1001 to S1002. Specifically:

[0184] S1001, measuring a reference signal of a first network device to obtain a first measurement result, and measuring a discovery reference signal of a second network device in a dormant state to obtain a second measurement result, where the first network device is a serving network device of the user equipment and the second network device is a non-serving network device of the user equipment;

[0185] S1002: Send a radio resource management measurement result to the first network device, where the radio resource management measurement result includes the first measurement result and at least one second measurement result.

[0186] In some possible implementations, before S1001 , the method further includes: receiving first measurement configuration information sent by the first network device, where the first measurement configuration information is used for measuring a discovery reference signal of the second network device.

[0187] In some possible implementations, before S1001, the step further includes: receiving second measurement configuration information sent by the first network device, where the second measurement configuration information is used to configure a third threshold, and the third threshold is used to trigger the user equipment to start measuring the discovery reference signal of the second network device.
