[0043] It should be understood that all or part of the functions of the communication device in this application can also be implemented through software functions running on hardware, or through virtualization functions instantiated on a platform (such as a cloud platform).

[0044] 5G application scenarios

[0045] With the increasing demand for speed, latency, high-speed mobility, and energy efficiency, coupled with the increasing diversity and complexity of future services, the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), an international standards organization, has begun developing 5G. Key 5G application scenarios include enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC), and massive machine-type communications (mMTC).

[0046] On the one hand, eMBB still aims to provide users with multimedia content, services, and data, and demand for this is growing rapidly. On the other hand, since eMBB can be deployed in different scenarios, such as indoors, in urban areas, and in rural areas, its capabilities and requirements vary greatly. Therefore, it cannot be generalized and requires detailed analysis based on specific deployment scenarios.

[0047] A key feature of URLLC is low latency. In this scenario, connection latency can be as short as 1 millisecond or less. It also supports high-reliability connections at high speeds. For example, at speeds of 500 km / h, reliability can reach 99.999%. Typical applications of URLLC include industrial automation, power automation, remote medical operations (surgery), and traffic safety.

[0048] Typical characteristics of mMTC include high connection density, small data volumes, latency-insensitive services, low module costs, and long service life. Based on this, mMTC can include one or more of the following communications: industrial wireless sensor network communications, communications in video surveillance scenarios, and communications with wearable devices.

[0049] Radio resource control (RRC) status

[0050] Currently, the protocol defines three RRC states of terminal devices: RRC connected (RRC_CONNECTED) state, RRC idle (RRC_IDLE) state and RRC inactive (RRC_INACTIVE) state.

[0051] The RRC connection state may refer to the state in which the terminal device is in when the RRC release is not performed after the random access process is completed. An RRC connection exists between the terminal device and the network device, and a terminal device access stratum (AS) context exists between the network device and the terminal device. In the RRC connection state, the terminal device can perform data transmission with the network device, such as downlink data transmission and / or uplink data transmission. Alternatively, the terminal device can also perform terminal device-specific data channel and / or control channel transmission with the network device to transmit specific information or unicast information of the terminal device.

[0052] In the RRC connected state, the network device can determine the cell-level location information of the terminal device, that is, the network device can determine the cell to which the terminal device belongs. In addition, the mobility management of the terminal device in the RRC connected state can be controlled by the network device, that is, the mobility of the terminal device in the RRC connected state is the mobility controlled by the network device.

[0053] The RRC idle state refers to the state of a terminal device when it is resident in a cell but not performing random access. A terminal device typically enters the RRC idle state after being powered on or after RRC release. In the RRC idle state, there is no RRC connection between the terminal device and the network device, the network device does not store the AS context of the terminal device, and no connection is established between the network device and the core network for the terminal device. If the terminal device needs to enter the RRC connected state from the RRC idle state, it needs to initiate the RRC connection establishment process.

[0054] In the RRC Idle state, the core network (CN) can send a paging message to the terminal device. In other words, the paging process can be triggered by the CN. Optionally, the paging area can also be configured by the CN. The mobility management of the terminal device in the RRC Idle state includes cell selection / cell reselection based on the terminal device.

[0055] The RRC inactive state is a new RRC state defined to reduce air interface signaling, quickly restore wireless connections, and quickly restore data services. The RRC inactive state is a state between the RRC connected state and the RRC idle state (that is, the RRC inactive state is different from the RRC connected state and the RRC idle state). The terminal device has previously entered the RRC connected state and then released the RRC connection with the network device, but the network device saves the AS context of the terminal device. In addition, the connection established between the network device and the core network for the terminal device has not been released, that is, the user plane bearer and control plane bearer between the RAN and the CN are still maintained, that is, there is a connection between CN-NR.

[0056] In the RRC inactive state, the RAN can send paging messages to the terminal device, meaning that the paging process can be triggered by the RAN. RAN-based paging areas are managed by the RAN, and network equipment can determine the terminal device's location based on the RAN's paging area level. Mobility management for terminal devices in the RRC inactive state includes terminal-based cell selection and reselection.

[0057] Paging process

[0058] In some communication systems (e.g., NR system, LTE system), a network device may send paging to a terminal device in an RRC idle state, an RRC inactive state, or an RRC connected state, wherein the paging process may be triggered by a core network or a base station. The paging process may be used by the network to send a paging message (also referred to as a paging request) to a terminal device in an RRC idle state or an RRC inactive state to page the terminal device, or the paging process may also be used by the network to notify the terminal device of system information updates, or the paging process may also be used by the network to notify the terminal device of alarm information sent by an earthquake and tsunami warning system (ETWS) and / or a commercial mobile alert system (CMAS). In some embodiments, the network may notify the terminal device of one or more of system information updates, ETWS, and CMAS via a short message. In some embodiments, the terminal device receiving the system information update, ETWS, or CMAS may be a terminal device in any RRC state, such as a terminal device in an RRC connected state.

[0059] Paging may include a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) scrambled by a paging radio network temporary identifier (P-RNTI) and a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) scheduled by the PDCCH. The paging message may be transmitted in the PDSCH, or in other words, the paging message may be carried by the PDSCH. The short message may be transmitted in the PDCCH, or in other words, the short message may be carried by the PDCCH. For example, the short message may be 8 bits of information in the PDCCH.

[0060] For a terminal device in the RRC idle or RRC inactive state, there is no other data transmission between the terminal device and the network device. Therefore, to save power, the terminal device can monitor the paging channel discontinuously, that is, the terminal device can adopt the paging discontinuous reception (DRX) mechanism. Under the paging DRX mechanism, the terminal device only needs to monitor the paging channel during one paging occasion (PO) within each paging DRX cycle. In some embodiments, the paging DRX cycle may also be referred to as the paging cycle, the paging DRX cycle, etc.

[0061] The DRX cycle for paging can be determined by the common cycle in the system broadcast and the dedicated cycle configured in the higher-layer signaling (eg, non-access stratum (NAS) signaling). For example, the terminal device takes the minimum cycle of the two as the DRX cycle for paging.

[0062] A PO represents a possible time when a paging message may occur. A PO consists of multiple PDCCH monitoring occasions in the paging search space. A PO can contain X PDCCH monitoring occasions, where X is equal to the number of synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) actually sent by the network device in the master information block (MIB).

[0063] PO can be determined by the terminal device based on the received paging parameters. For example, before receiving the paging message, the terminal device can first receive the paging parameters through the system message, and determine the PO in combination with the respective UE_ID. In some embodiments, the terminal device can also determine the frame number of the paging frame (PF) based on the received paging parameters. PF refers to a radio frame (the radio frame can be a fixed 10 milliseconds, for example), which can contain multiple POs or the starting positions of multiple POs. In other words, PF represents the frame number of the system frame in which the paging message should appear. Based on this, the terminal device can listen to the PDCCH encrypted by the P-RNTI in the PO on the PF to receive the paging indication information, and finally receive the paging message based on the paging indication information.

[0064] Figure 2 shows the location of the PF and the PO within the PF within a paging DRX cycle. As shown in Figure 2, the PF is located within the paging DRX cycle. A PF may include one or more POs, and these multiple POs may correspond to different terminal devices. In other words, from the perspective of network devices, a paging DRX cycle can have multiple POs. However, for a terminal device, during the paging DRX cycle, it only needs to monitor its own PO.

[0065] As described above, the terminal can calculate the PF and PO based on the UE_ID (that is, the location where the terminal device monitors the PO is related to the ID of the terminal device). In some implementations, the system frame corresponding to the system frame number (SFN) that satisfies the formula (SFN+PF_offset) mod T = (T div N) * (UE_ID mod N) can be used as a PF, and within the PF, the index (index) i_s of the PO corresponding to the terminal device within a PF can be calculated according to the formula i_s = floor (UE_ID / N) mod Ns. Wherein, T represents the DRX cycle in which the terminal device receives paging; UE_ID is used to identify the terminal device; N represents the number of PFs included in the DRX cycle of paging; Ns represents the number of POs included in a PF. PF_offset represents the time domain offset (frame offset) of the PF.

[0066] It should be noted that for a terminal device, the network will broadcast a default DRX cycle. If the higher layer (such as RRC) configures a terminal device-specific DRX cycle for the terminal device, the smaller DRX cycle between the network broadcast DRX cycle and the higher layer configured DRX cycle can be selected as the above T. That is, T = min(T_UE, T_sib), where T_sib represents the default DRX cycle indicated in the system message, and T_UE represents the DRX cycle configured for the terminal. Of course, for terminal devices that are not configured with T_UE, the default DRX cycle broadcast by the network can be used as the above T, that is, T = T_sib.

[0067] It should also be noted that, in some embodiments, the above-mentioned UE_ID can be calculated by the formula UE_ID = (5G-S-TMSI mod 1024), where 5G-S-TMSI represents the temporary mobile user identity (TMSI) allocated by the communication system to the terminal device.

[0068] The terminal device can calculate the monitored PF and the index of the PO based on the above formula. Furthermore, the terminal device can also obtain the number of PDCCH monitoring opportunities in the PO and the starting position of the first PDCCH monitoring opportunity of the PO. Exemplarily, the number of PDCCH monitoring opportunities in the PO can be calculated by a formula, and the starting position of the first PDCCH monitoring opportunity of the PO can be obtained by the configuration parameters sent by the network (for example, the configuration parameters configured by the network through high-level signaling). After the terminal device obtains the above information or parameters, it can blindly detect the paging message according to the determined PO.

[0069] Paging false alarm

[0070] It can be seen from the above-mentioned way of UE determining PO that the determination of PO is related to UE_ID, PF and the total number of POs. When the system contains a large number of terminal devices, the network device cannot assign each terminal device to a different PO, resulting in a situation where multiple terminal devices may correspond to one PO. In this case, if the network device wants to page a terminal device on this PO, it may cause other terminal devices that originally did not have paging messages to perform additional blind detection, mainly including blind detection of PDCCH and the corresponding PDSCH. For these terminal devices that originally did not have paging messages, this erroneous paging is a paging false alarm.

[0071] Enhanced paging mechanism

[0072] To further optimize the energy conservation of terminal devices, an enhanced paging mechanism needs to be designed to reduce unnecessary terminal device paging reception (i.e., reduce paging false alarms). To this end, a paging mechanism based on paging early indication (PEI) and terminal device grouping is discussed to further conserve terminal device energy.

[0073] In the PEI-based solution, the network device will send a PEI to the terminal device before the arrival of the PO in each paging DRX cycle to indicate whether the terminal device receives the PDCCH carrying the paging indication information on the PO. In other words, the terminal device can decide whether to monitor the paging message normally on the corresponding PO or skip monitoring the paging message based on the received PEI. The terminal device will only be awakened when the PEI indicates that the terminal device needs to receive the PDCCH on a certain PO. Otherwise, if the PEI indicates that the terminal device does not need to receive the PDCCH on the PO, the terminal device will remain in sleep mode to save energy.

[0074] In a solution based on terminal device grouping, multiple terminal devices on the same PO can be further grouped. Based on this, the network device can indicate which terminal device group or groups a paging message is intended for. This way, terminal devices in other terminal device groups do not need to receive paging messages, saving energy. In some embodiments, multiple terminal devices on the same PO can be further grouped based on paging group indication information sent by the network device. In some embodiments, this paging group indication information can be carried in the PEI.

[0075] In order to further meet the energy-saving requirements of terminal devices, the 3GPP Release 18 (R18) standard plans to introduce an ultra-low power wake-up signal (LP-WUS). In some embodiments, LP-WUS can also be referred to as an ultra-low power wake-up signal, a low-power wake-up signal, an energy-saving signal, or WUS. Compared with the paging mechanism using PEI, LP-WUS is more energy-efficient and uses a lower-power receiver to receive LP-WUS instead of using a main receiver to receive LP-WUS. Based on this, after receiving LP-WUS, the terminal device starts the main receiver to listen for paging messages to achieve energy saving.

[0076] The reason why the introduction of the LP-WUS solution is more energy-efficient is that LP-WUS is designed using waveforms that are easier to detect. This allows for signal detection and demodulation using lower-power receivers such as LP-WUS receivers. The detection and demodulation methods are simpler, thus reducing power consumption. In some implementations, LP-WUS can be an envelope signal obtained by modulating a carrier signal using simple modulation methods such as amplitude shift keying (ASK) modulation and on-off keying (OOK) modulation. The LP-WUS receiver can then receive and demodulate the LP-WUS using envelope detection.

[0077] In some implementations, the demodulation of the envelope signal can be accomplished by driving a low-power circuit based on the energy provided by the wireless RF signal. The terminal device does not need to be powered, so the LP-WUS receiver can be passive. In other implementations, the LP-WUS receiver can also be powered by the terminal device. Regardless of the power supply method, the LP-WUS receiver greatly reduces power consumption compared to the traditional receiver (main receiver) of the terminal device. For example, the LP-WUS receiver can achieve power consumption of less than 1 milliwatt (mW), which is far lower than the power consumption of tens to hundreds of mW of traditional receivers.

[0078] FIG3 is a schematic diagram of a terminal device equipped with an LP-WUS receiver. Referring to FIG3 , the terminal device 300 may include a primary receiver 310 and an LP-WUS receiver 320. To conserve power consumption, the terminal device 300 may be configured to be in a sleep state (e.g., when the terminal device is in a DRX sleep period). Alternatively, the primary receiver 310 of the terminal device may be in a sleep state (see FIG3(a)). In this case, the terminal device 300 may utilize the LP-WUS receiver 320 to receive the LP-WUS. Upon detecting an LP-WUS, the LP-WUS receiver 320 may wake up the primary receiver 310 (see FIG2(b)). Otherwise, the primary receiver 310 of the terminal device may remain in a sleep state. In some implementations, the LP-WUS receiver detecting an LP-WUS may include the LP-WUS receiver detecting one LP-WUS or the LP-WUS receiver detecting multiple LP-WUSs.

[0079] In some implementations, the LP-WUS receiver waking up the main receiver may include: the LP-WUS receiver sending an LP-WUS to the main receiver, where the LP-WUS is used to wake up the main receiver, or the LP-WUS receiver sending wake-up indication information to the main receiver, where the wake-up indication information is used to wake up the main receiver.

[0080] As mentioned above, to reduce power consumption in terminal devices, an LP-WUS receiver is introduced to receive LP-WUS signals. This allows the terminal device to shut down the main receiver or place it in a deep sleep state. However, the LP-WUS receiver's receiver sensitivity is lower than that of PEI-based solutions. Specifically, the LP-WUS receiver's receiver sensitivity is lower than that of the main receiver in its normal transceiver state, resulting in a corresponding reduction in the coverage range supported by the LP-WUS. Table 1 compares the performance parameters of signals received using the LP-WUS receiver and the main receiver.

[0081] Table 1

[0082]

[0083] It should be noted that the PEI mentioned in Table 1 is based on PDCCH or sequence, which means that the PEI can be carried by PDCCH or by a sequence, and the sequence may include, for example, a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), a tracking reference signal (TRS), etc. In some embodiments, TRS may refer to a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) for time-frequency tracking.

[0084] It can be seen that the coverage range supported by LP-WUS is smaller, and the receiving sensitivity of the LP-WUS receiver is lower than that of the main receiver, resulting in poor reception performance when using the LP-WUS receiver to receive signals. In addition, if the LP-WUS receiver does not have the measurement function, turning off the main receiver may have a certain impact on the mobility of the terminal device. Although the reception performance is better when the main receiver is turned on to receive signals, the power consumption is large, which is not conducive to energy saving of the terminal device. Therefore, when the terminal device supports multiple receivers (for example, LP-WUS receivers and main receivers) at the same time, different receiving states can be supported. In different receiving states, the receiving performance and power consumption of the terminal device may be different. Therefore, how the terminal device should use these different receiving states is a problem that needs to be solved.

[0085] In order to solve the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a method, terminal device and network device for wireless communication, which can enable the terminal device to know the target reception status, so that different target reception states can be used in different scenarios, which is beneficial to taking into account the reception performance and power consumption of the terminal device.

[0086] The terminal device mentioned in the embodiments of the present application may support different receivers (hereinafter, the terminal device supports a first receiver and a second receiver as an example). The first receiver and the second receiver supported by the terminal device have different power consumptions. For example, the power consumption of the second receiver is less than the power consumption of the first receiver.

[0087] In some embodiments, the first receiver may be a main radio. The main radio has relatively high power consumption and relatively strong capabilities. For example, the main radio may have higher reception sensitivity, support more and more complex modulation modes and modulation waveforms, have a faster transmission rate, and support a wider bandwidth range and bit rate.

[0088] In some embodiments, the second receiver may be an LP-WUS receiver. The LP-WUS receiver has relatively low power consumption and relatively weak capabilities. For example, the LP-WUS receiver may have lower receiving sensitivity, support fewer and simpler modulation modes and modulation waveforms, have a slower transmission rate, and support a smaller bandwidth range and bit rate. In some embodiments, the LP-WUS receiver may also be referred to as an ultra-low power wake up receiver (LP-WUR), an ultra-low power receiver, a wake up receiver (WUR), etc., and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0089] In some embodiments, if the power consumption of the second receiver is less than that of the first receiver, it can be understood that the capability of the second receiver is weaker than that of the first receiver.

[0090] To facilitate differentiation, the following describes the performance differences between the first receiver and the second receiver in terms of power consumption, receiving sensitivity, modulation mode, modulation waveform, transmission rate, supported bandwidth range, and bit rate.

[0091] In terms of power consumption, the first receiver may consume more power than the second receiver. For example, the first receiver may consume approximately 30-50 mW, while the second receiver may consume less than 100 microwatts (uW).

[0092] From the perspective of the receiving sensitivities of the two, the receiving sensitivity of the first receiver may be higher than that of the second receiver. For example, the receiving sensitivity of the first receiver may be approximately -100 decibel milliwatts (dBm), while the receiving sensitivity of the second receiver may be approximately -70--90 dBm.

[0093] From the perspective of the modulation modes supported by the two, the complexity of the modulation mode supported by the first receiver may be higher than the complexity of the modulation mode supported by the second receiver. For example, the modulation modes supported by the first receiver may include one or more of the following modulation modes: quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), etc.; and the modulation modes that the second receiver may support may include one or more of the following modulation modes: ASK, OOK, phase shift keying (PSK), frequency shift keying (FSK), etc. Of course, in some embodiments, the first receiver may also support at least one of the modulation modes of ASK, OOK, PSK, and FSK, which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0094] From the perspective of the modulation waveforms supported by both receivers, the complexity of the modulation waveforms supported by the first receiver may be higher than the complexity of the modulation waveforms supported by the second receiver. For example, the modulation waveforms supported by the first receiver may include one or more of the following modulation waveforms: waveforms corresponding to QPSK signals, waveforms corresponding to QAM signals, waveforms corresponding to OFDM signals, etc.; while the modulation waveforms that the second receiver may support may include one or more of the following modulation waveforms: waveforms corresponding to ASK signals, waveforms corresponding to OOK signals, waveforms corresponding to PSK signals, waveforms corresponding to FSK signals, etc. Of course, in some embodiments, the first receiver may also support waveforms corresponding to one or more signals including ASK, OOK, PSK, and FSK, and this embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit this.

[0095] In terms of the transmission rates supported by both receivers, the transmission rate supported by the first receiver may be higher than the transmission rate supported by the second receiver. For example, the transmission rate supported by the second receiver may be lower than a first rate threshold, which may be in the range of 1 Kbps to 1 Mbps, where the first rate threshold may be 1 Kbps, 128 Kbps, 515 Kbps, or 1 Mbps. The transmission rate supported by the first receiver may be higher than the first rate threshold, for example, the transmission rate supported by the first receiver may be higher than 10 Kbps, 100 Kbps, 1000 Kbps, or 1 Gbps.

[0096] In terms of the bandwidth ranges supported by the two receivers, the bandwidth range supported by the first receiver may be greater than the bandwidth range supported by the second receiver, or in other words, the bandwidth supported by the first receiver is wider than the bandwidth supported by the second receiver. For example, the bandwidth supported by the second receiver may be less than or equal to the first bandwidth threshold, which may be in the range of 1KB to 1MB, where the first bandwidth threshold may be 1KB, 128KB, 515KB, or 1MB, etc.; while the bandwidth supported by the first receiver may be greater than the first bandwidth threshold, for example, the bandwidth supported by the first receiver may be greater than 10KB, 100KB, 1000KB, 1GB, etc.

[0097] In terms of the bitrates supported by both receivers, the bitrate supported by the first receiver may be higher than the bitrate supported by the second receiver. For example, the bitrate supported by the second receiver may be less than or equal to the first bitrate threshold, which may be between 0.3 and 0.6, such as 0.3, 0.5, or 0.6. The bitrate supported by the first receiver may be greater than the first bitrate threshold. For example, the bitrate supported by the first receiver may be greater than 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, or close to 1.

[0098] Based on the performance differences of different receivers supported by the terminal device, the terminal device can support different receiving states. The following is an introduction using the example of the terminal device supporting the first receiving state and the second receiving state.

[0099] In some embodiments, the first receiving state may correspond to the first receiver being turned off or in a deep sleep state (or hibernation state). In other words, when the terminal device is in the first receiving state, it can be understood that the first receiver is not operating and the second receiver is operating. That is, when the terminal device is in the first receiving state, the second receiver is used to receive signals instead of the first receiver. When the terminal device is in the first receiving state, power consumption is low, which is beneficial for energy conservation.

[0100] In some embodiments, the second receiving state may correspond to the first receiver being turned on and in a normal transceiver state. In other words, when the terminal device is in the second receiving state, it can be understood that the first receiver is operating, i.e., the terminal device can use the first receiver to receive signals when in the second receiving state. When the terminal device is in the second receiving state, the reception performance is stronger, but the power consumption is higher.

[0101] In some embodiments, when the terminal device is in the second receiving state, the second receiver may be turned on. For example, when the terminal device is in the second receiving state, the second receiver may be turned on to perform detection / measurement of the first signal below to determine whether it is necessary to switch from the second receiving state to the first receiving state.

[0102] In some embodiments, the second receiver may be turned off when the terminal device is in the second receiving state, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. For example, when the second receiving state is converted to the first receiving state, the second receiver is no longer required to detect / measure the first signal. In this case, the second receiver may be turned off in the second receiving state to further save energy.

[0103] In the embodiment of the present application, when the terminal device supports the first receiving state and the second receiving state, the terminal device can determine the target receiving state, and thus receive signals according to the determined target receiving state. Based on this, the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application can use different target receiving states for signal reception in different scenarios, which is beneficial for balancing the receiving performance and power consumption of the terminal device.

[0104] In some embodiments, the target receiving state may be a first receiving state. In some cases, after the terminal device determines that the target receiving state is the first receiving state, it may receive signals based on the determined first receiving state. In this case, the terminal device may turn off the first receiver or put the first receiver into a deep sleep state while using the second receiver for signal reception.

[0105] In some embodiments, the target receiving state may be a second receiving state. In some cases, after the terminal device determines that the target receiving state is the second receiving state, it may receive signals based on the determined second receiving state. In this case, the terminal device may turn on the first receiver and place the first receiver in a normal transceiver state. Optionally, when the terminal device determines that the target receiving state is the second receiving state, it may choose to turn off or turn on the second receiver.

[0106] In some embodiments, the target receiving state of the terminal device may be determined by the terminal device itself. After the terminal device determines the target receiving state by itself, it may receive signals according to the determined target receiving state.

[0107] In some embodiments, the target receiving state of the terminal device may be configured by a network device. After the network device configures the target receiving state for the terminal device, the terminal device may receive signals based on the target receiving state configured by the network device.

[0108] In some embodiments, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application can be applied to terminal devices in RRC idle state or RRC inactive state. For example, when the target receiving state is the first receiving state, the second receiver can be used to receive the LP-WUS, so that after receiving the LP-WUS, the first receiver is awakened to monitor the paging message.

[0109] In some embodiments, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application can be applied to terminal devices in an RRC connected state. For example, in the RRC connected state, when there is no data transmission between the terminal device and the network device, the first receiver can be turned off or in a deep sleep state, and the second receiver can be turned on. In this way, when the network device has data to transmit, it can send an LP-WUS to the second receiver, so that the second receiver can wake up the first receiver for data transmission, etc.

[0110] That is to say, in the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device can be in the RRC idle state, the RRC inactive state or the RRC connected state, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this.

[0111] The following describes the method embodiments of the present application in detail in conjunction with Example 1 and Example 2. Among them, Example 1 aims to introduce the situation where the terminal device determines the target reception state by itself. Example 2 aims to introduce the situation where the network device configures the target reception state for the terminal device. It should be noted that some contents of Example 1 and Example 2 correspond to each other, such as the specific content of the first condition, the configuration parameters configured by the network device, etc. Therefore, the parts not described in detail can be understood by reference to each other.

[0112] Example 1

[0113] Figure 4 is a schematic flow chart of a method for wireless communication provided by an embodiment of the present application. The method shown in Figure 4 is described from the perspective of interaction between a terminal device and a network device. The terminal device may be, for example, terminal device 120 shown in Figure 1 , which includes the first receiver and the second receiver mentioned above. The network device may be, for example, network device 110 shown in Figure 1 . The method shown in Figure 4 may include step S410, which is described below.

[0114] In step S410, the terminal device determines a target reception state.

[0115] In some embodiments, the terminal device can determine the target reception state by itself.

[0116] In some embodiments, the target receiving state determined by the terminal device may be the first receiving state. For example, if the terminal device is currently in the second receiving state and the terminal device determines that it needs to switch from the second receiving state to the first receiving state, then the target receiving state determined by the terminal device is the first receiving state.

[0117] In some embodiments, the target receiving state determined by the terminal device may be the second receiving state. For example, if the terminal device is currently in the first receiving state and the terminal device determines that it needs to switch from the first receiving state to the second receiving state, then the target receiving state determined by the terminal device is the second receiving state.

[0118] In some embodiments, the target receiving state can be determined based on a first condition. That is, the first condition can be used by the terminal device to determine or redetermine the target receiving state, or in other words, the first condition can be used by the terminal device to convert the receiving state. For example, when the terminal device is currently in the first receiving state, if the terminal device meets the first condition, the terminal device can determine or redetermine the target receiving state to confirm whether it is necessary to switch to the second receiving state. Alternatively, when the terminal device is currently in the second receiving state, if the terminal device meets the first condition, the terminal device can determine or redetermine the target receiving state to confirm whether it is necessary to switch to the first receiving state.

[0119] In some embodiments, the first condition may include a condition for transitioning from the first receiving state to the second receiving state. In some embodiments, the first condition may include a condition for transitioning from the second receiving state to the first receiving state. In some embodiments, the first condition may include both a condition for transitioning from the first receiving state to the second receiving state and a condition for transitioning from the second receiving state to the first receiving state.

[0120] In some embodiments, the first condition can be determined based on one or more of the following: the detection / measurement result of the first signal; a number threshold associated with the detection / measurement of the first signal; a duration threshold associated with the detection / measurement of the first signal; a first counter; a first timer, etc.

[0121] In some embodiments, the detection / measurement result of the first signal can be used by the terminal device to determine the signal quality of the first signal received by the terminal device. For example, when the terminal device cannot detect the first signal or the signal quality of the first signal measured by the terminal device is lower than a certain threshold, it can be understood that the signal quality of the first signal received by the terminal device is poor. Alternatively, when the terminal device can detect the first signal or measures the signal quality of the first signal to be higher than a certain threshold, it can be understood that the signal quality of the first signal received by the terminal device is good.

[0122] The embodiments of the present application do not specifically limit the first signal, as long as it is a signal sent by a network device to a terminal device (for example, a downlink signal). Exemplarily, the first signal may be one or more of the following signals: a beacon signal, a downlink reference signal, and a measurement signal. The downlink reference signal may include, for example, a CSI-RS, a cell reference signal (CRS), a positioning reference signal (PRS), etc., and the present application does not limit this.

[0123] In some embodiments, the first signal may be a signal that is transmitted periodically. Optionally, the embodiments of the present application do not limit the transmission period of the first signal. For example, the transmission period may be a period at the subframe level, a period at the time slot level, a period at the symbol level, or a period at the millisecond level.

[0124] In some embodiments, the transmission period of the first signal may be configured by the network device. However, the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. For example, the transmission period of the first signal may also be predefined or preconfigured by a protocol.

[0125] In some embodiments, the first signal is detected / measured by the second receiver. For example, the first signal can be detected / measured by the second receiver (e.g., an LP-WUS receiver) regardless of whether the terminal device is in the first receiving state or the second receiving state.

[0126] In some embodiments, the detection / measurement result of the first signal may be a single detection / measurement result or multiple detection / measurement results. In some embodiments, the detection / measurement result of the first signal may be a detection / measurement result at a certain moment or a detection / measurement result for a certain time period. Preferably, in an embodiment of the present application, the detection / measurement result of the first signal may be multiple detection / measurement results and / or detection / measurement results for a certain time period to avoid ping-pong switching between reception states of the terminal device.

[0127] In some embodiments, the number threshold associated with the detection / measurement of the first signal may refer to a number threshold associated with continuous detection / continuous measurement of the first signal. In some embodiments, the number threshold associated with the detection / measurement of the first signal may refer to a number threshold associated with the detection / measurement of the first signal within a period of time.

[0128] In some embodiments, the number thresholds associated with the detection / measurement of the first signal may include one or more of the following number thresholds: a first parameter, used to indicate a number threshold for consecutively failing to detect the first signal or a number threshold for consecutively measuring the signal quality of the first signal to be lower than / equal to a threshold; a third parameter, used to indicate a number threshold for consecutively detecting the first signal or a number threshold for consecutively measuring the signal quality of the first signal to be higher than a threshold; a fifth parameter, used to indicate a number threshold for consecutively failing to detect the first signal within a period of time or a number threshold for measuring the signal quality of the first signal to be lower than / equal to a threshold within a period of time; and a sixth parameter, used to indicate a number threshold for consecutively detecting the first signal or a number threshold for measuring the signal quality of the first signal to be higher than a threshold within a period of time.

[0129] In some embodiments, the duration threshold associated with detection / measurement of the first signal may refer to a duration threshold associated with continuous detection / continuous measurement of the first signal. In some embodiments, the duration threshold associated with detection / measurement of the first signal may refer to a duration threshold associated with detection / measurement of the first signal over a period of time.

[0130] In some embodiments, the duration threshold associated with the detection / measurement of the first signal may include one or more of the following duration thresholds: a second parameter for indicating a duration threshold during which the first signal is not detected continuously or a duration threshold during which the signal quality of the first signal is continuously measured to be lower than / equal to a threshold; a fourth parameter for indicating a duration threshold during which the first signal is continuously detected or a duration threshold during which the signal quality of the first signal is continuously measured to be higher than a threshold.

[0131] In some embodiments, the first counter can be used to record the number of times associated with the detection / measurement of the first signal. For example, the first counter can be used to record the number of times the first signal is continuously not detected / continuously detected; or the first counter can be used to record the number of times the signal quality of the first signal is continuously measured to be lower than / equal to / higher than a threshold; or the first counter can be used to record the number of times the first signal is not detected / detected within a period of time; or the first counter can be used to record the number of times the signal quality of the first signal is measured to be lower than / equal to / higher than a threshold within a period of time.

[0132] In some embodiments, the first timer can be used to record the duration associated with the detection / measurement of the first signal. For example, the first timer can be used to record the duration of time during which the first signal is continuously not detected / continuously detected; or the first timer can be used to record the duration of time during which the signal quality of the first signal is continuously measured to be lower than / equal to / higher than a threshold; or the first timer can be used to record the duration of a period of time during which the first signal is not detected / detected; or the first timer can be used to record the duration of a period of time during which the signal quality of the first signal is measured to be lower than / equal to / higher than a threshold.

[0133] As described above, the first condition may include a condition for transitioning from the first receiving state to the second receiving state. In this case, the first condition may include one or more of the following: the number of times the first signal is not detected continuously reaches a number threshold indicated by the first parameter; the number of times the signal quality of the first signal is measured to be lower than or equal to the first threshold continuously reaches a number threshold indicated by the first parameter; the duration of the first signal not being detected continuously reaches a duration threshold indicated by the second parameter; the duration of the signal quality of the first signal being measured to be lower than or equal to the second threshold continuously reaches a duration threshold indicated by the second parameter; the number of times the first signal is not detected within a period of time reaches a number threshold indicated by the fifth parameter; and the number of times the signal quality of the first signal is measured to be lower than or equal to the third threshold within a period of time reaches a number threshold indicated by the fifth parameter.

[0134] As described above, the first condition may include a condition for transitioning from the second receiving state to the first receiving state. In this case, the first condition may include one or more of the following: the number of times the first signal is detected continuously reaches a number threshold indicated by a third parameter; the number of times the signal quality of the first signal is continuously measured to be higher than a fourth threshold reaches a number threshold indicated by the third parameter; the duration of continuous detection of the first signal reaches a duration threshold indicated by a fourth parameter; the duration of continuous measurement of the signal quality of the first signal higher than a fifth threshold reaches a duration threshold indicated by the fourth parameter; the number of times the first signal is detected within a period of time reaches a number threshold indicated by a sixth parameter; and the number of times the signal quality of the first signal is measured to be higher than a sixth threshold within a period of time reaches a number threshold indicated by the sixth parameter.

[0135] In some embodiments, the above thresholds (eg, first threshold, second threshold, etc.) can be understood as channel quality thresholds (eg, first channel quality threshold, second signal quality threshold, etc.), which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0136] In some embodiments, the above parameters (first parameter, second parameter, etc.) and / or the above thresholds can be configured by the network device (see the introduction of the embodiment shown in Figure 5 below for details), but the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this. These parameters and / or thresholds can also be predefined or preconfigured by the protocol, etc.

[0137] It should be noted that the thresholds indicated by the above-mentioned different parameters may be the same or different, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. For example, the number threshold indicated by the first parameter and the number threshold indicated by the fifth parameter may be the same or different. It should also be noted that the thresholds indicated by the above-mentioned same parameter in different situations may be the same or different, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. Taking the first parameter as an example, for the case where the first parameter indicates that the number of times the first signal is not detected continuously corresponds to the number of times the number threshold corresponds to the number of times the first parameter indicates that the signal quality of the first signal is lower than or equal to the first threshold, the number thresholds indicated by the first parameter in these two cases may be the same (for example, the number threshold indicated by the first parameter in both cases may be N1), or the number thresholds indicated by the first parameter in these two cases may be different (for example, the number thresholds indicated by the first parameter in both cases are N1 and N2 respectively). The values ​​of other parameters are similar and may be the same or different. For the sake of brevity, they will not be described here.

[0138] Continuing to refer to Figure 4, in some embodiments, the method shown in Figure 4 may further include step S420. In step S420, the terminal device sends the target reception status to the network device.

[0139] The terminal device can determine the target reception status by itself and inform the network device after determining the target reception status to ensure synchronization of information between the terminal device and the network device.

[0140] In some embodiments, when the terminal device is in an RRC connected state, the terminal device may send a target reception status to the network device.

[0141] Figure 5 is a flow chart of a method for wireless communication provided by another embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 5, in some embodiments, the method may include step S510 and step S520.

[0142] In step S510, the network device sends configuration information to the terminal device.

[0143] The configuration information can be used to instruct the terminal device to determine the configuration parameters associated with the target reception state.

[0144] In some embodiments, the configuration parameters may include the aforementioned number threshold associated with the detection / measurement of the first signal, the duration threshold associated with the detection / measurement of the first signal, the value of the threshold corresponding to the signal quality of the first signal, a period of time associated with the first timer, and the configuration parameters of the first signal, etc.

[0145] In some embodiments, the configuration parameters may include one or more of the following: a first parameter for indicating a threshold number of times the first signal is not detected continuously or the signal quality of the first signal is continuously measured to be lower than / equal to a threshold; a second parameter for indicating a threshold number of times the first signal is not detected continuously or the signal quality of the first signal is continuously measured to be lower than / equal to a threshold; a third parameter for indicating a threshold number of times the first signal is detected continuously or the signal quality of the first signal is continuously measured to be higher than a threshold; a fourth parameter for indicating a threshold number of times the first signal is detected continuously or the signal quality of the first signal is continuously measured to be higher than a threshold; a fifth parameter for indicating a threshold number of times the first signal is not detected within a period of time or the signal quality of the first signal is lower than / equal to a threshold within a period of time; a sixth parameter for indicating a threshold number of times the first signal is detected within a period of time or the signal quality of the first signal is measured to be higher than a threshold within a period of time; the value of the threshold corresponding to the signal quality of the first signal; the value of the above-mentioned period of time; and the configuration parameters of the first signal.

[0146] In some embodiments, the threshold corresponding to the signal quality of the first signal may be, for example, the first threshold, the second threshold, the third threshold, etc. mentioned above, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0147] In some embodiments, the configuration parameters of the first signal may include, for example, the aforementioned transmission period of the first signal. However, the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto, and any configuration parameter related to the configuration of the first signal may be used. For example, the configuration parameters may also include resources for transmitting the first signal, such as time-frequency resources, location, etc.

[0148] In some embodiments, the configuration information may be configured by the network device to the terminal device through one or more of the following methods: broadcast, terminal device-specific signaling. In some embodiments, the terminal device-specific signaling may be, for example, RRC signaling, medium access control element (MAC CE) signaling, downlink control information (DCI), etc.

[0149] In step S520, the terminal device determines a target reception state.

[0150] For details of step S520, please refer to the relevant description of step S410 above, which will not be repeated here.

[0151] Example 2

[0152] Figure 6 is a schematic flow chart of a method for wireless communication provided by another embodiment of the present application. The method shown in Figure 6 is described from the perspective of interaction between a terminal device and a network device. The terminal device may be, for example, terminal device 120 shown in Figure 1 , which includes the first receiver and the second receiver mentioned above. The network device may be, for example, network device 110 shown in Figure 1 . The method shown in Figure 6 may include steps S610 and S620, which are described below.

[0153] In step S610, the terminal device triggers sending first information to the network device.

[0154] The first information can be used by the network device to configure a target receiving state for the terminal device. In other words, the first information can be used by the network device to decide whether to allow the terminal device to switch the receiving state.

[0155] In some embodiments, the first information may be used to indicate a detection / measurement result of the first signal, and / or, the first information may be used to indicate that the terminal device satisfies the first condition.

[0156] In some embodiments, the first information may include a detection / measurement result of the first signal, so that the network device determines the target reception state of the terminal device based on the detection / measurement result.

[0157] In some embodiments, the first information may be indication information, used to indicate that the terminal device meets the first condition. As an implementation manner, the first information may indicate that the terminal device meets the condition for triggering reporting of the first information. For example, the first information may include the first condition. As another implementation manner, the first information may indicate whether the terminal device meets the first condition. For example, the first information may be indication information of a small number of bits (e.g., 1 bit, 2 bits, etc.), used to indicate whether the terminal device meets the first condition.

[0158] In some embodiments, the first information is a few bits of indication information, which is used to indicate whether the terminal device satisfies the first condition. The first condition may include a first sub-condition and a second sub-condition, wherein the first sub-condition may include a condition for the terminal device to switch from the first receiving state to the second receiving state, and the second sub-condition may include a condition for the terminal device to switch from the second receiving state to the first receiving state. In this case, the first sub-condition and the second sub-condition may respectively correspond to 1 bit of indication information to indicate whether the terminal device satisfies the first sub-condition and / or whether it satisfies the second sub-condition.

[0159] In some embodiments, the first information may be sent by the terminal device to the network device using a measurement report. In some embodiments, the first information may be sent by the terminal device to the network device using a terminal device auxiliary information report. However, the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto, and the first information may be sent by the terminal device in any manner supported by the terminal device. For example, the terminal device may send the first information to the network device via RRC signaling, MAC CE, or the like.

[0160] In some embodiments, the sending of the first information is triggered based on a first condition. For a detailed description of the first condition, please refer to the description of the first condition in the above embodiment 1, which will not be repeated here.

[0161] It should be noted that, when the first condition includes the first sub-condition, the first sub-condition may exemplarily include one or more of the following conditions: the number of times the first signal is not detected continuously reaches the number threshold indicated by the first parameter; the number of times the signal quality of the first signal is continuously measured to be lower than or equal to the first threshold reaches the number threshold indicated by the first parameter; the duration for which the first signal is not detected continuously reaches the duration threshold indicated by the second parameter; the length of time for which the signal quality of the first signal is continuously measured to be lower than or equal to the second threshold reaches the duration threshold indicated by the second parameter; the number of times the first signal is not detected within a period of time reaches the number threshold indicated by the fifth parameter; and the number of times the signal quality of the first signal is measured to be lower than or equal to the third threshold within a period of time reaches the number threshold indicated by the fifth parameter.

[0162] When the first condition includes the second sub-condition, the second sub-condition may exemplarily include one or more of the following conditions: the number of times the first signal is detected continuously reaches the number threshold indicated by the third parameter; the number of times the signal quality of the first signal is continuously measured to be higher than the fourth threshold reaches the number threshold indicated by the third parameter; the duration of continuous detection of the first signal reaches the duration threshold indicated by the fourth parameter; the duration of continuous measurement of the signal quality of the first signal higher than the fifth threshold reaches the duration threshold indicated by the fourth parameter; the number of times the first signal is detected within a period of time reaches the number threshold indicated by the sixth parameter; and the number of times the signal quality of the first signal is measured to be higher than the sixth threshold within a period of time reaches the number threshold indicated by the sixth parameter.

[0163] In some embodiments, the first signal may include one or more of the following: a beacon signal, a downlink reference signal, and a measurement signal. In some embodiments, the first signal is detected / measured by the second receiver. For a description of the first signal and its detection / measurement, please refer to the relevant description in Example 1 and will not be repeated here for the sake of brevity.

[0164] In some embodiments, the terminal device triggering reporting of the first information may mean that the terminal device triggers reporting when a first condition is met.

[0165] In some embodiments, the terminal device may report the first information to the network device immediately after triggering the reporting of the first information. In some embodiments, the terminal device may not report the first information to the network device immediately after triggering the reporting of the first information. For example, it may report to the network device after a period of time has passed since the reporting was triggered. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the reasons why the terminal device does not immediately report the first information to the network device. For example, the terminal device currently has no resources to report and needs to wait until there are resources to report before reporting; or, the protocol stipulates or the network pre-configures a preset time. After triggering the reporting of the first information, the terminal device may wait for the preset time before reporting to the network device.

[0166] In step S620, the network device sends the configured target reception status to the terminal device.

[0167] In some embodiments, the network device may determine to have the terminal device switch its receiving state based on the first information sent by the terminal device. In this case, the network device may send the target receiving state configured for the terminal device to the terminal device so that the terminal device performs signal reception according to the target receiving state.

[0168] In some embodiments, the target receiving state configured by the network device for the terminal device may be the first receiving state. For example, if the terminal device is currently in the second receiving state and the network device determines that the terminal device needs to be switched from the second receiving state to the first receiving state, the target receiving state configured by the network device for the terminal device is the first receiving state.

[0169] In some embodiments, the target receiving state configured by the network device for the terminal device may be the second receiving state. For example, if the terminal device is currently in the first receiving state and the network device determines that the terminal device needs to be switched from the first receiving state to the second receiving state, the target receiving state configured by the network device for the terminal device is the second receiving state.

[0170] It should be understood that the solution of the second embodiment can also be understood as a process in which the terminal device determines the target reception state, and the target reception state determined by the terminal device is determined according to the target reception state configured by the network device.

[0176] In some embodiments, the threshold corresponding to the signal quality of the first signal may be, for example, the first threshold, the second threshold, the third threshold, etc. mentioned above, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0177] In some embodiments, the configuration parameters of the first signal may include, for example, the aforementioned transmission period of the first signal. However, the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto, and any configuration parameter related to the configuration of the first signal may be used. For example, the configuration parameters may also include resources for transmitting the first signal, such as time-frequency resources, location, etc.

[0178] In some embodiments, the configuration information may be provided by the network device to the terminal device via one or more of the following methods: broadcast, terminal device-specific signaling. In some embodiments, the terminal device-specific signaling may be, for example, RRC signaling, MAC CE signaling, DCI, etc.

[0179] In step S720, the terminal device triggers sending first information to the network device.

[0180] In step S730, the network device sends the configured target reception status to the terminal device.
