[0059] The communication systems applicable to the embodiments of the present application include, but are not limited to, long term evolution (LTE) systems, 5th-generation (5G) systems (such as New Radio (NR) systems), and future evolved systems or multiple communication convergence systems. Among them, the 5G system can be a non-standalone (NSA) 5G system or a standalone (SA) 5G system. The solutions of the embodiments of the present application can also be applicable to future new communication systems, for example, 6th generation (6G) communication systems, etc.

[0060] This application mainly relates to the communication between terminal devices and network devices. The network device can be a network device in Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) communication or a network device in a terrestrial network communication system.

[0061] The terminal equipment in the embodiments of the present application may refer to user equipment (UE), access terminal, user unit, user station, mobile station, mobile station (Mobile Station, MS), remote station, remote terminal, mobile device, user terminal, wireless communication device, user agent or user device, etc. For example, the terminal equipment can be a cellular phone, cordless phone, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) phone, Wireless Local Loop (WLL) station, Personal Digital Assistant (Personal Digital Assistant, PDA), a handheld device with wireless communication function, a computing device or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem, in-vehicle device, wearable device, a terminal in a future 5G network or a terminal device in a future evolved Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN). The embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. In some embodiments of the present application, the terminal equipment can be an electronic device with data wireless transmission function. In some other embodiments of the present application, the terminal equipment can also be a device with transceiver function, such as a chip system. The chip system can include a chip and can also include other discrete devices.

[0062] The network device in the embodiments of the present application may refer to a device that provides wireless communication functions for terminal devices. The network device may be referred to as an access network device, such as a radio access network (RAN) device, or an access network network element, etc. Among them, the network device may support at least one wireless communication technology, such as LTE, NR, etc. For example, the network device may be a base station (BS) (also referred to as a base station device), a base transceiver station (BTS), a Node B, an evolved Node B (eNB), a device that provides base station functions in a 5G network, such as a next generation node B (gNB) and a further evolved Node B (ng-eNB), where NR technology is used for communication between the gNB and the terminal device, and evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) technology is used for communication between the ng-eNB and the terminal device. Both the gNB and the ng-eNB can be connected to the 5G core network. In a wireless local area network (WLAN), the device that provides base station functions is an access point (AP). The network device in the embodiments of the present application also includes devices that provide wireless communication functions in future new communication systems, etc. In some embodiments, the network device may also be a device with the function of providing wireless communication for terminal devices, such as a chip system. By way of example, the chip system may include a chip and may also include other discrete devices.

[0063] In some embodiments, the network device may refer to the centralized unit (CU) of a base station, or the distributed unit (DU) of a base station, or the CU control plane (CU-CP) of a base station, or the DU user plane (cu-up) of a base station, etc.

[0064] In the low-power wake-up technology, when the terminal device is in the first state, i.e., the deep sleep state (or the shutdown state or the flight mode), the network device can wake up the terminal device to enter the second state by sending a WUS. The terminal device determines whether to exit the first state and enter the second state based on the received WUS. Among them, the first state can be any one of the following: the deep sleep state, the shutdown state, the flight mode, etc. The second state can be the Radio Resource Control (RRC) idle state, the RRC inactive state, the RRC active state, etc. Or rather, the first state can be the state where the main receiver is turned off, and the second state can be the state where the main receiver is turned on.

[0065] In other words, when the terminal device is in the first state, the main receiver of the terminal device cannot receive signals, but the secondary receiver can receive signals. If the secondary receiver receives a WUS, the terminal device can determine whether to wake up the main receiver based on the wake-up signal.

[0066] When the main receiver is turned off, in order to ensure that the WUS sent by the network device can be received, the secondary receiver can continuously detect the WUS on the resources configured by the network device. However, such a solution will still cause unnecessary power consumption and resource overhead.

[0067] In view of this, the embodiment of the present application provides a communication method. In the solution of the embodiment of the present application, the network device sends first configuration information to the terminal device. The first configuration information is used to configure at least one WUS detection opportunity. The terminal device determines a target WUS reception opportunity from the at least one WUS detection opportunity and detects the WUS at the target WUS detection opportunity. By adopting such a solution, each terminal device only needs to detect the WUS at its corresponding target WUS detection opportunity. Compared with the solution of continuously detecting the WUS, it is beneficial to reduce the detection power consumption of the terminal device and also beneficial to save the resource overhead of WUS transmission.

[0068] It should be noted that the terminal device in the embodiments of the present application may include a primary receiver and a secondary receiver. Among them, the primary receiver may be used for data transmission with a network device. For example, the primary receiver may be used to receive paging information. The paging information may include any one or more of the following: a paging message, downlink control information (DCI), a Paging Early Indication (PEI), etc. Among them, the PEI is used to schedule the terminal device to monitor paging DCI within its associated Paging Occasion (PO). The paging DCI is the DCI sent by the network device within the PO, and the paging DCI may be used to schedule the terminal device to receive a paging message. The paging message includes the identifier of the terminal device to be paged by the network device.

[0069] It should be noted that the paging information in this article refers to the paging information received by the primary receiver.

[0070] The secondary receiver may be used to receive WUS. Specifically, the secondary receiver may operate in a low-power state, and the secondary receiver may be used to receive WUS when the primary receiver is turned off. When the primary receiver is turned on, the secondary receiver may be in an on state or an off state. The WUS in the embodiments of the present application may refer to the WUS received by the secondary receiver. To distinguish it from the wake-up signal received by the primary receiver, the WUS in the embodiments of the present application may also be referred to as a Low-Power WUS (LP-WUS), a secondary WUS, etc.

[0071] The following will describe the specific embodiments of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The actions performed by the network device in the following embodiments may be performed by the network device, a device in the network device (such as a processor, a chip), a chip, etc., and the actions performed by the terminal device may be performed by the terminal device, a device in the terminal device (such as a processor, a chip), a chip, etc. The present application does not make any restrictions. For the convenience of description, the embodiments provided by the present application will be described by taking the execution entities as the network device and the terminal device as examples.

[0072] Embodiment 1

[0073] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which is a signaling interaction diagram of a communication method in the embodiments of the present application. Figure 1 The method shown may include: S11, S12, and S13. Among them, S in each step number in the present application represents step.

[0074] S11, The network device sends first configuration information to the terminal device, where the first configuration information is used to configure at least one WUS detection opportunity. Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the first configuration information.

[0075] S12, The terminal device determines a target WUS detection opportunity, and the target WUS detection opportunity is selected from the at least one WUS detection opportunity.

[0076] S13, The terminal device detects WUS at the target WUS detection opportunity.

[0077] In S11, the network device may configure at least one WUS detection opportunity through high-layer signaling. Among them, the WUS detection opportunity refers to the opportunity for detecting WUS. Among them, the WUS detection opportunity may be periodic, and the period of the WUS detection opportunity refers to the time interval between two adjacent WUS detection opportunities.

[0078] It should be noted that "detection" in the embodiments of this application may also be described as "receiving", "monitoring", "detecting", etc., and this application does not make any restrictions.

[0079] Specifically, the first configuration information may include at least one of the following: the period of the WUS detection opportunity, the time-domain start position information of the WUS detection opportunity, the time-domain width occupied by the WUS detection opportunity, and the frequency-domain position information of WUS. Among them, the time-domain start position information may include at least one of the following: start time slot, start symbol, start position offset. The time-domain width occupied by one WUS detection opportunity may be one or more symbols.

[0080] In a specific implementation, the first configuration information may be received by the primary receiver of the terminal device. Specifically, the first configuration information may be the latest configuration information for configuring the WUS detection opportunity received before the primary receiver is turned off.

[0081] Furthermore, the terminal device may determine at least one WUS detection opportunity based on the first configuration information.

[0082] In S12, the terminal device determines a target WUS detection opportunity from the at least one WUS detection opportunity. Among them, the target WUS detection opportunity refers to the opportunity when the terminal device needs to detect WUS. That is to say, each terminal device needs to determine its own corresponding target WUS detection opportunity, and the target WUS detection opportunities determined by different terminal devices may be the same or different.

[0083] In the solution of Embodiment 1, the target WUS detection opportunity may be determined based on one or more of the following: the identification information of the terminal device, the number of POs in a single paging cycle, and the period of the WUS detection opportunity.

[0084] Among them, the identification information of the terminal device refers to the information used to identify the terminal device. The identification information can be used to distinguish different terminal devices. Exemplarily, the identification information of the terminal device can be any one of the following: temporary mobile subscriber identity (TMSI), Radio Network Temporary Identity (RNTI), Paging RNTI (P-RNTI), etc., but is not limited thereto.

[0085] In addition, the number of paging occasions (PO) in a single paging cycle can be determined based on the configuration of the network device. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the number of PO in a single paging cycle. It should be noted that the "paging cycle" in the embodiments of the present application refers to the paging cycle corresponding to the primary receiver, and the PO refers to the PO corresponding to the primary receiver, that is, the PO is used for the detection or monitoring of the primary receiver.

[0086] Specifically, the terminal device can use the Discontinuous Reception (DRX) mechanism to receive paging messages in the RRC idle state and the RRC inactive state, and the paging cycle can also be referred to as the DRX cycle.

[0087] Among them, a DRX cycle can include at least one Paging Frame (PF), and a PF can include at least one PO. Among them, a PF can be a radio frame or a system frame, and a PO can include at least one Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasion. A PO can be composed of multiple subframes, multiple time slots, or multiple Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols. The terminal device can detect paging DCI on a PO in a DRX cycle.

[0088] In the solution of the embodiments of the present application, exemplarily, the network device can configure the number of PFs in a single paging cycle and the number of POs in each PF for the terminal device. Thus, the terminal device can determine the number of POs in a single paging cycle. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application do not limit the method for determining the number of POs in a single paging cycle.

[0089] In one example, the terminal device may determine the target WUS detection opportunity by using Equation (1):

[0090] (SFN mod T1) = (T1 div N) × (UE_ID mod N) Equation (1)

[0091] Wherein, SFN represents the frame number of the system frame where the WUS detection opportunity is located, T1 represents the first period, N represents the number of POs within a single paging period, UE_ID represents the identification information of the terminal device, mod represents the modulo operation, and div represents the integer division operation.

[0092] In another example, the terminal device may determine the target WUS detection opportunity by using Equation (2):

[0093] (SFN + offset) mod T1 = (T1 div N) × (UE_ID mod N) Equation (2)

[0094] Different from Equation (1), offset in Equation (2) represents the offset of the WUS detection opportunity. Specifically, the offset of the WUS detection opportunity may be configured by the network device. More specifically, the offset of the WUS detection opportunity may refer to the starting position offset in the first configuration information. For more content about Equation (2), reference may be made to the relevant description of Equation (1). Specifically, for each WUS detection opportunity, the terminal device may determine whether the frame number of the system frame where the WUS detection opportunity is located satisfies Equation (1) or Equation (2). If it satisfies Equation (1) or Equation (2), the terminal device may determine that the WUS detection opportunity is the target WUS detection opportunity. If it does not satisfy Equation (1) or Equation (2), the terminal device may determine that the WUS detection opportunity is not the target WUS opportunity.

[0095] Optionally, in the solution of this embodiment, one system frame may include one WUS detection opportunity.

[0096] In specific implementation, the above-mentioned "first period" may be configured by the network device; or, it may be defined by the protocol; or, it may be calculated and determined by the terminal device according to the relevant parameters configured by the network device.

[0097] Exemplarily, the length of the first period may depend on the number of POs corresponding to (or associated with) a WUS detection opportunity. Wherein, the correspondence between the WUS detection opportunity and the PO may mean that: if the secondary receiver of the terminal device detects WUS at a certain WUS detection opportunity, the primary receiver of the terminal device performs detection or monitoring on the PO corresponding to the WUS detection opportunity. For example, the primary receiver detects paging DCI on the PO.

[0098] Specifically, assume that all POs in a single paging cycle are associated with M WUS detection opportunities, where M is a positive integer. Then the first cycle can be: M × T2, where T2 represents the cycle of the WUS detection opportunity. More specifically, the first cycle can depend on the number of POs corresponding to a WUS detection opportunity, the cycle of the WUS detection opportunity, and the number of POs in a single PO cycle.

[0099] In one example, one WUS detection opportunity corresponds to one PO, and T1 = T2 × N, where T1 represents the first cycle, T2 represents the cycle of the WUS detection opportunity, and N represents the number of POs in a single paging cycle.

[0100] In another example, one WUS detection opportunity corresponds to X POs, and T1 = T2 × N / X, where T1 represents the first cycle, T2 represents the cycle of the WUS detection opportunity, N represents the number of POs in a single paging cycle, and X represents the number of POs corresponding to a single WUS detection opportunity.

[0101] It should be noted that the value of X in this article is not restricted. Exemplarily, the value of X can be a value in the first set, and the first set can be defined by the protocol or configured by the network device. For example, the value of X can be any one of the following: 1 / 16, 1 / 8, 1 / 4, 1 / 2, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, etc.

[0102] It should also be noted that one WUS detection opportunity corresponding to X POs can be described as one PO corresponding to Y WUS detection opportunities. That is, T1 = T2 × N × Y, where T1 represents the first cycle, T2 represents the cycle of the WUS detection opportunity, N represents the number of POs in a single paging cycle, and Y represents the number of WUS detection opportunities corresponding to a single PO.

[0103] Among them, X × Y = 1. The value of Y can also be a value in the first set. For example, the value of Y can be any one of the following: 1 / 16, 1 / 8, 1 / 4, 1 / 2, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, etc.

[0104] Refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the first first cycle in the embodiments of the present application. As Figure 2 shown, N = 4, a paging cycle includes 4 POs, and correspondingly, a first cycle includes 4 WUS detection opportunities.

[0105] Refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the second first cycle in the embodiments of the present application. As Figure 3As shown, N = 4, a paging cycle includes 4 POs, X = 2 or Y = 1 / 2. Therefore, a first cycle includes 2 WUS detection opportunities.

[0106] Referring to Figure 4 , Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the third type of first cycle in the embodiments of the present application. As Figure 4 shown, N = 4, a paging cycle includes 4 POs, X = 1 / 2 or Y = 2. Therefore, a first cycle includes 8 WUS detection opportunities.

[0107] Based on the above description, the terminal device can determine the target WUS detection opportunity.

[0108] Continuing to refer to Figure 1 , in S13, the terminal device can detect WUS at the target WUS detection opportunity. Specifically, the secondary receiver of the terminal device detects WUS at the target WUS detection opportunity.

[0109] Furthermore, if the terminal device detects WUS at the target WUS detection opportunity, the terminal device can wake up the primary receiver. Specifically, the terminal device can wake up the primary receiver to perform detection or monitoring on the PO associated with the target WUS detection opportunity. If the terminal device does not detect WUS at the target WUS detection opportunity, the terminal device does not wake up the primary receiver. In addition, at other WUS detection opportunities other than the target WUS detection opportunity, the terminal device can refrain from performing WUS detection.

[0110] Thus, Embodiment 1 provides a receiving mechanism for wake-up signals, or rather, Embodiment 1 provides a low-power wake-up mechanism for the terminal device. The terminal device determines its corresponding target WUS detection opportunity among at least one WUS detection opportunity configured by the network device, detects WUS at the target WUS detection opportunity, and wakes up the primary receiver when WUS is detected. Compared with the scheme of continuously detecting WUS, it is beneficial to reduce the detection power consumption of the terminal device and also beneficial to save the resource overhead of WUS transmission.

[0112] Embodiment 2

[0113] Referring to Figure 5 , Figure 5 is a signaling interaction schematic diagram of another communication method in the embodiments of the present application. Figure 5 The method shown may include: S51, S52, S53, and S54.

[0114] S51, the network device sends first configuration information to the terminal device, and the first configuration information is used to configure at least one WUS. Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the first configuration information.

[0115] For the specific content of S51, reference can be made to the relevant description of S11 above, which will not be elaborated here.

[0116] S52, the network device sends second configuration information to the terminal device, and the second configuration information is used to configure at least one PO. Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the second configuration information.

[0117] S53, the terminal device determines a target WUS detection opportunity based on the target PO.

[0118] S54, the terminal device detects the WUS at the target WUS detection opportunity.

[0119] In S52, the network device can configure at least one PO through high-layer signaling. The second configuration information may be paging parameter configuration information. Exemplarily, the second configuration information may include: paging period, the number of PFs in one paging period, PF offset, the number of POs corresponding to one PF, the position of the starting PDCCH monitoring opportunity of each PO corresponding to the PF, etc.

[0120] In a specific implementation, the second configuration information may be received by the primary receiver of the terminal device. Specifically, the second configuration information may be the latest configuration information received before the primary receiver is turned off and at least used to configure the PO.

[0121] Thus, the terminal device can determine at least one PO according to the second configuration information.

[0122] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the execution order of S51 and S52. S51 may be executed before S52; or, S51 may be executed after S52; or, S51 and S52 may be executed simultaneously. For example, S51 and S52 are carried in the same high-layer signaling.

[0123] In S53, the terminal device determines a target WUS detection opportunity based on the target PO.

[0124] In a specific implementation, the terminal device may first determine the target PO.

[0125] Exemplarily, the terminal device may use Equation (3) and Equation (4) to determine the target PO.

[0126] (SFN’ + PF_offset) mod T3 = (T3 div N F ) × (UE_ID mod N F ) Equation (3)

[0127] i_s = floor(UE_ID / N F ) mod Ns Equation (4)

[0128] Wherein, SFN' represents the frame number of the system frame where the PO is located or the frame number of the system frame where the PF is located, PF_offset represents the PF offset, T3 represents the paging period, N F represents the number of PFs in a single paging period, UE_ID represents the identification information of the terminal device, mod represents the modulo operation, Ns represents the number of POs in a PF, i_s represents the number of the PO in a PF, and floor() represents rounding down. Among them, 0 ≤ i_s ≤ Ns - 1, mod represents the modulo operation, and div represents the integer division operation.

[0129] It should be noted that the "number" in this article can also be described as "index", "identity (ID)", "sequence number", etc.

[0130] The terminal device can determine the target PO according to Equation (3) and Equation (4). Specifically, the terminal device can determine the PF that satisfies Equation (3) as the target PF, and then determine the PO that satisfies Equation (4) in the target PF as the target PO.

[0131] Furthermore, the terminal device can determine the target WUS based on the target PO.

[0132] Specifically, if a PO is associated with a WUS detection opportunity, the terminal device can determine the WUS detection opportunity associated with the target PO as the target PO.

[0133] If multiple POs are associated with a WUS detection opportunity, the terminal device can determine the WUS detection opportunity associated with the target PO as the target PO. In this case, multiple terminal devices share a WUS detection opportunity. That is to say, multiple terminal devices corresponding to multiple POs associated with the same WUS detection opportunity detect WUS at the same WUS detection opportunity.

[0134] If a PO is associated with multiple WUS detection opportunities, the terminal device can determine the target WUS detection opportunity from the multiple WUS detection opportunities associated with the target PO according to the identification information of the terminal device. For example, a PO is associated with Y WUS detection opportunities, where Y is a positive integer greater than 1, and the terminal device can determine the th WUS detection opportunity among the Y WUS detection opportunities associated with the target PO as the target WUS detection opportunity.

[0135] More specifically, in the solution of the second embodiment, the N POs in a single paging cycle have numbers, and the numbers of the N POs increase sequentially in order. The target WUS detection opportunity can be determined based on the number of the target PO.

[0136] It should be noted that different from the number of the PO in a PF represented by i_s in the above text, the number of the PO in this text refers to the number of the PO within a paging cycle. That is to say, the N POs in a paging cycle are grouped as a set, and the numbers of the N POs increase sequentially in order. Among them, the order can refer to the time sequence (that is, the order from early to late in the time domain).

[0137] Exemplarily, the number of the PO can start from 0. That is, assuming that the number of the PO is represented by i, 0 ≤ i ≤ N - 1, and i is a natural number. In other embodiments, the number of the PO can start from 1. That is, 1 ≤ i ≤ N, and i is a positive integer.

[0138] In addition, the terminal device can number the WUS detection opportunities and determine the target WUS detection opportunity according to the number of the target PO and the numbers of each WUS detection opportunity.

[0139] In the first example, one WUS detection opportunity corresponds to one PO. Starting from the first WUS detection opportunity, every N WUS detection opportunities are grouped as a set, and the numbers of the N WUS detection opportunities within each set increase sequentially in the time sequence.

[0140] Specifically, for at least one WUS detection opportunity configured by the network device, starting from the first WUS detection opportunity among the at least one WUS detection opportunity, every N WUS detection opportunities are grouped as a set, and the numbers of the N WUS detection opportunities within each set increase sequentially in the time sequence.

[0141] Exemplarily, the number of the WUS detection opportunity can start from 0. That is, assuming that the number of the WUS detection opportunity is represented by j, 0 ≤ j ≤ N - 1, and i is a natural number. In other embodiments, the number of the WUS detection opportunity can start from 1. That is, 1 ≤ j ≤ N, and j is a positive integer.

[0142] Furthermore, if the starting numbers of the PO and the WUS detection opportunity are the same (such as both starting numbers are 0 or both starting numbers are 1), the terminal device can determine the WUS detection opportunity with the same number as the target PO as the target WUS detection opportunity.

[0143] Refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 is the time sequence schematic diagram of the first type of PO and WUS detection opportunity in the embodiments of the present application. As Figure 6 shown, the starting numbers of the PO and the WUS detection opportunity are both 0. AssumingFigure 6 If the PO numbered 2 is the target PO, the terminal device can determine that the WUS detection opportunity numbered 2 is the target WUS detection opportunity.

[0144] In the second example, one PO corresponds to Y WUS detection opportunities, where Y is a positive integer greater than 1. Starting from the first WUS detection opportunity, every N×Y WUS detection opportunities form a group, and the numbers of the N×Y WUS detection opportunities within each group increase sequentially in time sequence.

[0145] Specifically, for at least one WUS detection opportunity configured by the network device, starting from the first WUS detection opportunity among the at least one WUS detection opportunity, every N×Y WUS detection opportunities form a group, and the numbers of the N×Y WUS detection opportunities within each group increase sequentially in time sequence.

[0146] Exemplarily, the number of the WUS detection opportunity can start from 0, that is, assuming the number of the WUS detection opportunity is represented as j, 0≤j≤N×Y - 1, and j is a natural number. In other embodiments, the number of the WUS detection opportunity can start from 1, that is, 1≤j≤N×Y, and j is a positive integer.

[0147] In one case, the PO is numbered starting from 0, the WUS detection opportunity is numbered starting from 0, and the number of the target WUS detection opportunity satisfies: where i represents the number of the target PO, j represents the number of the target WUS detection opportunity, and UE_ID represents the identification information of the terminal device.

[0148] In another case, the PO is numbered starting from 1, the WUS detection opportunity is numbered starting from 0, and the number of the target WUS detection opportunity satisfies: where i represents the number of the target PO, j represents the number of the target WUS detection opportunity, and UE_ID represents the identification information of the terminal device.

[0149] In yet another case, the PO is numbered starting from 0, the WUS detection opportunity is numbered starting from 1, and the number of the target WUS detection opportunity satisfies: where i represents the number of the target PO, j represents the number of the target WUS detection opportunity.

[0150] In still another case, the PO is numbered starting from 1, the WUS detection opportunity is numbered starting from 1, and the number of the target WUS detection opportunity satisfies: where i represents the number of the target PO, j represents the number of the target WUS detection opportunity.

[0151] Referring to Figure 7 , Figure 7 is the timing schematic diagram of the second type of PO and WUS detection opportunity in the embodiments of the present application. AsFigure 7 As shown, the starting number of PO and the starting number of the WUS detection opportunity are both 0. Assume that Figure 7 the PO numbered 2 in [example] is the target PO, then the terminal device can determine its corresponding target WUS detection opportunity from the WUS detection opportunity numbered 4 and the WUS detection opportunity numbered 5 based on its own terminal identifier.

[0152] In the third example, one WUS detection opportunity corresponds to X POs, where X is a positive integer greater than 1. Starting from the first WUS detection opportunity, every N / X WUS detection opportunities form a group, and the numbers of the N / X WUS detection opportunities within each group increase sequentially in time sequence.

[0153] Specifically, for at least one WUS detection opportunity configured by the network device, starting from the first WUS detection opportunity among the at least one WUS detection opportunity, every N / X WUS detection opportunities form a group, and the numbers of the N / X WUS detection opportunities within each group increase sequentially in time sequence.

[0154] Exemplarily, the number of the WUS detection opportunity can start from 0, that is, assume the number of the WUS detection opportunity is represented as j, 0 ≤ j ≤ N / X - 1, and j is a natural number. In other embodiments, the number of the WUS detection opportunity can start from 1, that is, 1 ≤ j ≤ N / X, and j is a positive integer.

[0155] In one case, PO is numbered starting from 0, the WUS detection opportunity is numbered starting from 0, and the number of the target WUS detection opportunity satisfies: where i represents the number of the target PO, and j represents the number of the target WUS detection opportunity.

[0156] In another case, PO is numbered starting from 0, the WUS detection opportunity is numbered starting from 1, and the number of the target WUS detection opportunity satisfies: where i represents the number of the target PO, and j represents the number of the target WUS detection opportunity.

[0157] In yet another case, PO is numbered starting from 1, the WUS detection opportunity is numbered starting from 0, and the number of the target WUS detection opportunity satisfies: where i represents the number of the target PO, and j represents the number of the target WUS detection opportunity.

[0158] In still another case, PO is numbered starting from 1, the WUS detection opportunity is numbered starting from 1, and the number of the target WUS detection opportunity satisfies: where i represents the number of the target PO, and j represents the number of the target WUS detection opportunity.

[0159] Refer to Figure 8 ,Figure 8 It is a timing schematic diagram of the third PO and WUS detection timing in the embodiment of the present application. As Figure 8 shown, the starting number of PO and the starting number of the WUS detection timing are both 0. Suppose Figure 8 the PO numbered 2 is the target PO, then the terminal device can determine that the WUS detection timing numbered 1 is the target WUS detection timing.

[0160] From the above, the terminal device can determine the target WUS detection timing.

[0161] Continue to refer to Figure 5 , in S54, the terminal device detects WUS at the target WUS detection timing.

[0162] For the specific content of step S54, reference can be made to the above specific description of S13, which will not be elaborated here.

[0163] From the above, in the solution of Embodiment 2, the terminal device determines its corresponding target WUS detection timing from at least one WUS detection timing configured by the network device based on the target PO, and detects WUS at the target WUS detection timing. When WUS is detected, the main receiver is awakened. Compared with the solution of continuously detecting WUS, it is beneficial to reduce the detection power consumption of the terminal device and also beneficial to save the resource overhead of WUS transmission.
