Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of communication technology, specifically to a determination method, communication device, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] In existing wireless communication systems, terminal devices need to obtain SIB1 (System Information Block 1) from network devices. According to existing protocols, SIB1 can only be transmitted via broadcast. Therefore, terminal devices only need to receive SIB1 at the specified time without sending UL WUS (Uplink Wake-Up Signal) to request it.

[0003] In the process of conceiving and implementing this application, the inventors discovered at least the following problems:

[0004] In energy-efficient networks, SIB1 can be broadcast proactively by network devices or requested by terminal devices. However, if a terminal device is unaware of the SIB1 broadcast status, it may repeatedly send UL WUS requests for SIB1. Such repeated requests increase the power consumption of both the terminal and network devices. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify the method for obtaining the SIB1 broadcast status to support the reduction of power consumption for terminal and / or network devices.

[0108] It should be noted that, in this document, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element, and / or, components, features, and elements with the same names in different embodiments of this application may have the same meaning or different meanings, the specific meaning of which must be determined by its interpretation in that specific embodiment or further in conjunction with the context of that specific embodiment.

[0109] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc., may be used herein to describe various information, such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are used only to distinguish information of the same type from one another. For example, without departing from the scope of this document, first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information. Depending on the context, the word "if," as used herein, may be interpreted as "when," "when," or "in response to determination."

It should be further understood that the terms "comprising," "including," indicate the presence of the stated feature, step, operation, element, component, item, kind, and / or group, but do not exclude the presence, occurrence, or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, components, items, kinds, and / or groups. The terms "or," "and / or," "including at least one of the following," etc., as used in this application, may be interpreted as inclusive, or mean any one or any combination thereof. For example, "including at least one of the following: A, B, C" means "any one of the following: A; B; C; A and B; A and C; B and C; A and B and C."
