Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a channel monitoring method, device, electronic device, storage medium and program product. Background Art

[0002] In the field of communications, communication is achieved by transmitting messages over a channel, which is then retrieved by a terminal device. However, when encountering unfavorable channel conditions, such as when a terminal device is placed in a backpack, pocket, or in an elevator, it may miss messages, affecting the effectiveness of communication.

[0003] In related technologies, a resilience notification signal is used to notify a terminal device of an incoming call, missed call, or text message. The resilience notification signal is transmitted through an independent resilience notification channel and can notify the terminal device in scenarios with weak signals.

[0158] By way of example and not limitation, in this application, a terminal device may be a terminal device in an Internet of Things (IoT) system. The IoT is an important component of future information technology development. Its primary technical feature is connecting objects to the Internet through communication technologies, thereby realizing an intelligent network that interconnects humans and machines, and objects and things. For example, the terminal device in the embodiments of this application may be a wearable device. Wearable devices, also known as wearable smart devices, are a general term for wearable devices developed by applying wearable technology to intelligently design and develop wearable devices, such as glasses, gloves, watches, clothing, and shoes. Wearable devices are portable devices that can be worn directly on the body or integrated into a user's clothing or accessories. Wearable devices are not merely hardware devices; they can also achieve powerful functionality through software support, data interaction, and cloud-based interaction. Broadly speaking, wearable smart devices include devices that are fully functional, large in size, and can function completely or partially independently of a smartphone, such as smart watches or smart glasses, as well as devices that focus on a specific application function and require integration with other devices, such as smartphones, such as various smart bracelets and smart jewelry for vital sign monitoring.

[0159] As an example and not a limitation, in the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may also be a terminal device in machine type communication (MTC). In addition, the terminal device may also be an on-board module, on-board module, on-board component, on-board chip or on-board unit built into the vehicle as one or more components or units. The vehicle may implement the method provided in the present application through the built-in on-board module, on-board module, on-board component, on-board chip or on-board unit. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application may also be applied to the Internet of Vehicles, such as vehicle to everything (V2X), long term evolution-vehicle (LTE-V), vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) technology, etc.

[0160] Exemplarily, the elastic notification signal transmitted in the elastic notification channel is used to remind the terminal device of missed messages.

[0161] In this scenario, the terminal device's communication signals for calls, text messages, and other communications are transmitted through the paging channel. When the channel conditions of the paging channel are poor, conventional paging methods may not be able to reliably deliver prompt messages to the terminal, and the terminal device may miss messages such as incoming calls and text messages. The elastic notification channel is an independent channel, and the elastic notification signal is transmitted on the elastic notification channel. The elastic notification signal has a different frequency to ensure that the elastic notification signal has a stronger transmission capability than the conventional paging signal, thereby effectively reducing the number of messages missed by the terminal device.

[0162] Optionally, the elastic notification signal enhances transmission capability by means of amplitude gain, waveform change, or coding scheme change.

[0163] However, the elastic notification channel is a non-resident channel. In order to save energy, the terminal device cannot frequently monitor the elastic notification channel. The elastic notification signal in the elastic notification channel may be missed, resulting in the terminal device missing the message, which in turn leads to low communication reliability.

[0164] It should be noted that the channel monitoring method, device, electronic device, storage medium and program product of the present application can be used in the field of communication technology, and can also be used in any field other than communication technology. The application field of the channel monitoring method, device, electronic device, storage medium and program product of the present application is not limited.

[0165] The channel monitoring method provided in this application is intended to solve the above technical problems in the prior art.

[0166] The following specific embodiments describe in detail the technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above-mentioned technical problems. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0167] Figure 2 A schematic flow chart of a channel monitoring method provided in an embodiment of the present application, the method comprising the following steps:

[0168] S201. Receive configuration parameters, where the configuration parameters are used by a terminal device to determine a monitoring timing of an elastic notification channel. The monitoring timing of the elastic notification channel is a target frame for monitoring the elastic notification channel.

[0169] Exemplarily, the monitoring timing corresponds to the sending timing of the elastic notification signal.

[0170] Exemplarily, the configuration parameters are determined by the network device, ie, the access network device and / or the core network device according to the timing of sending the elastic notification signal, and sent to the terminal device.

[0171] In this scenario example, the network device generates configuration parameters based on the transmission timing of the elastic notification signal and sends them to the terminal device, allowing the terminal device to determine the listening timing based on the configuration parameters. The listening timing corresponds to the transmission timing, meaning that the elastic notification signal is transmitted on the elastic notification channel during the listening timing, allowing the terminal device to accurately detect the elastic notification signal when monitoring the elastic notification channel.

[0172] For example, the access network device sends a flexible notification signal in a target frame, which is also the wireless frame that the terminal device monitors. The terminal device activates the monitoring function to monitor the flexible notification channel in the target frame to accurately obtain each flexible notification signal. The terminal device disables the monitoring function in non-target frames to save terminal device energy consumption.

[0173] As an example, the access network device sends a flexible notification signal in a target frame based on preset conditions, such as when a terminal device fails to paging, or when the access network device sends a flexible notification signal based on instructions from the core network. When the preset conditions are met, the flexible notification signal is used to notify the terminal device of the missed message. If the preset conditions are not met, the terminal device can receive messages normally, and the access network device does not send the flexible notification signal, thereby reducing energy consumption.

[0174] Exemplarily, there may be one or more target frames, and there may be periodicity between the multiple target frames.

[0175] In this feasible implementation, by determining the target frame, the terminal device can clearly know the monitoring period, thereby improving the accuracy of monitoring the flexible notification channel.

[0176] S202: Monitor the flexible notification channel according to the monitoring opportunity.

[0177] Optionally, the monitoring timing is periodic. The flexible notification channel is monitored according to the period corresponding to the monitoring timing. This allows the configuration parameters to be received once and monitored multiple times, thereby reducing the number of times the network device sends the configuration parameters, thereby reducing communication overhead.

[0178] Optionally, the period corresponding to the monitoring opportunity corresponds to the period corresponding to the sending opportunity, ensuring that the monitoring opportunity of each period covers the sending opportunity to avoid missing the elastic notification signal.

[0179] In conjunction with the scenario example, if the period corresponding to the sending opportunity is period A, the configuration parameters are determined based on period A, and the period determined by the terminal device based on the configuration parameters is also period A. When the network device sends the elastic notification signal according to period A, the terminal device can monitor the elastic notification channel according to period A. This allows the terminal device to receive the elastic notification signal when the network device sends it, thereby avoiding missing the elastic notification signal.

[0180] Optionally, the terminal device may monitor the elastic notification channel when the channel quality or other preset conditions are met.

[0181] This example illustrates a scenario where, for example, when channel quality is poor, the elastic notification channel is monitored based on the monitoring timing. When the channel quality is poor, the terminal device is more likely to miss messages. In this case, monitoring the elastic notification channel can effectively identify missed messages. However, when the channel quality is good, the terminal device is less likely to miss messages, so monitoring the elastic notification channel is unnecessary, saving energy consumption.

[0182] Optionally, the schemes of periodically monitoring the elastic notification channel and monitoring the elastic notification channel based on channel quality may be performed simultaneously.

[0183] For example, the period for monitoring the elastic notification channel is determined based on configuration parameters, and the channel quality is checked in each period. If the channel quality is good, it indicates that the terminal device can communicate normally, and the current period is skipped. If the channel quality is poor, it indicates that the terminal device cannot communicate normally, and the elastic notification channel is monitored in the current period to obtain messages missed by the terminal device.

[0184] The channel monitoring method provided in an embodiment of the present application receives configuration parameters, which are used by a terminal device to determine a monitoring timing for an elastic notification channel. The monitoring timing for the elastic notification channel is the target frame for monitoring the elastic notification channel; the elastic notification channel is monitored according to the monitoring timing. In the above scheme, the monitoring timing is the period during which an elastic notification signal exists in the elastic notification channel. By receiving the configuration parameters, the terminal device can accurately determine the monitoring timing. By monitoring the elastic notification channel according to the monitoring timing, the terminal device can effectively avoid missing the elastic notification signal, thereby improving communication reliability.

[0185] In a feasible implementation manner, the configuration parameters include at least one of the following: a flexible notification period or a flexible notification flag.

[0186] Next, combine Figure 3 The group monitoring flexible notification channel is described.

[0187] Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the group monitoring elastic notification channel provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown, the network device sends configuration parameters to the terminal device, the terminal device determines a monitoring timing based on the configuration parameters, and the terminal device monitors the elastic notification channel in groups based on the monitoring timing. In the scheme of monitoring the elastic notification channel in groups, the configuration parameters include at least one of the following: an elastic notification period or an elastic notification flag.

[0188] Exemplarily, the elasticity period is a period during which the network device sends an elasticity notification signal, and the elasticity notification identifier is an identifier assigned by the network device to the terminal device.

[0189] Exemplarily, multiple terminal devices are grouped through elastic notification cycles and elastic notification identifiers, each terminal device corresponds to a target frame, and each terminal device listens to the elastic notification channel according to the corresponding target frame, thereby staggering the target frames of multiple terminal devices to reduce congestion of the elastic notification channel.

[0190] Optionally, the access network device sends a flexible notification period to the terminal device.

[0191] In this feasible implementation, the terminal devices are grouped, and the target frames of multiple terminal devices are staggered according to the groups to reduce the congestion of the elastic notification channel, thereby improving the communication reliability of the terminal devices.

[0192] A feasible implementation method is that the target frame is the first frame; the first frame satisfies the following formula:

[0193]

[0194] SFN1 is the first frame, P is the flexible notification period, and RID is the flexible notification identifier.

[0195] Illustratively, a result of performing a modulo operation on the flexible notification flag by the flexible notification period is the same as a result of performing a modulo operation on the first frame by the flexible notification period.

[0196] In conjunction with a scenario example, different elastic notification identifiers are grouped through modulo budgeting, where elastic notification identifiers that differ by an integer multiple of the elastic notification period are grouped together, and each group corresponds to a first frame. For example, multiple terminal devices correspond to multiple elastic notification identifiers 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15, respectively, and the elastic notification period is 5. The modulo operations yield the results of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 0, respectively. Using the formula corresponding to the first frame, it can be calculated that terminal devices with elastic notification identifiers 10 and 15 are grouped together and correspond to one first frame, while terminal devices with elastic notification identifiers 11, 12, 13, and 14 each correspond to a different first frame, thereby enabling grouping of multiple terminal devices.

[0197] Combined with the scenario example, if multiple elastic notification signals occur at the same time, through the modular allocation of the elastic notification identifier, multiple elastic notification signals will be sent sequentially in different wireless frames, reducing the probability of signal interference.

[0198] In this feasible implementation, by grouping the terminal devices, the first frames of multiple terminal devices can be staggered, making the first frames of multiple terminal devices more dispersed, thereby reducing the congestion of the elastic notification channel and improving the reliability of communication.

[0199] In a feasible implementation, the configuration parameters also include RF_offset, where RF_offset is a radio frame offset; the first frame satisfies the following formula:

[0200]

[0201] For example, a radio frame offset is introduced based on the formula for the first frame, and the first frame is dynamically offset by the radio frame offset. The radio frame offset can flexibly adjust the position of the first frame, further avoiding signal interference that may be caused by modular operations.

[0202] Combined with the scenario example, in a dense deployment scenario, such as when multiple network devices are densely deployed, or when adjacent cells or devices generate co-frequency interference due to wireless frame synchronization, the first frame can be staggered by dynamically adjusting the wireless frame offset to avoid signal interference.

[0203] Optionally, the radio frame offset is sent to the terminal device through a system message or Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling.

[0204] In this feasible implementation, the first frames of different terminal devices can be dynamically staggered through the wireless frame offset, thereby further reducing the congestion of the elastic notification channel and improving the reliability of communication.

[0205] In a feasible implementation, the configuration parameters also include an elastic notification offset, and the target frame is the second frame; the second frame satisfies the following formula:

[0206]

[0207] Among them, SFN2 is the second frame, P is the flexible notification period, RID is the flexible notification identifier, and K is the flexible notification offset.

[0208] Optionally, the elastic notification offset is sent by the access network device to the terminal device.

[0209] For example, through Perform the first layer of grouping, and then pass Perform the second layer of grouping to obtain a more dispersed second frame.

[0210] In this feasible implementation, multi-layer grouping can make the second frame more dispersed, further reduce the congestion of the elastic notification channel, and improve the reliability of communication.

[0211] In a feasible implementation, the configuration parameters also include RF_offset, where RF_offset is the radio frame offset; the second frame satisfies the following formula:

[0212] .

[0213] For example, a radio frame offset is introduced based on the above formula for the second frame, and the second frame is dynamically offset by the radio frame offset. The radio frame offset can flexibly adjust the position of the second frame, further avoiding signal interference that may be caused by modular operations.

[0214] In this feasible implementation, the second frames of different devices can be dynamically staggered through the wireless frame offset, thereby further reducing the congestion of the elastic notification channel and improving the reliability of communication.

[0215] In a feasible implementation, the configuration parameters also include the number of radio frames in each elastic notification period, with the target frame being the third frame; the third frame satisfies the following formula:

[0216]

[0217] SFN3 is the third frame, P is the flexible notification period, N is the number of radio frames in each flexible notification period, and RID is the flexible notification identifier.

[0218] Next, combine Figure 4 Describes periodic monitoring of the flexible notification channel.

[0219] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a periodic monitoring elastic notification channel provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 As shown, the network device sends configuration parameters to the terminal device, the terminal device determines the monitoring opportunity according to the configuration parameters, and the terminal device monitors the elastic notification channel according to the monitoring opportunity period.

[0220] Optionally, the access network device sends the number of wireless frames in each elastic notification period to the terminal device.

[0221] For example, through The terminal devices are grouped in such a way that the number of groups is the same as the number of wireless frames in the elastic notification period. Determine the interval between wireless frames and accurately determine the position of the third frame corresponding to the terminal device through grouping and interval.

[0222] Combined with the scenario example, for example, N is 2, which means that one elastic notification cycle includes 2 radio frames. Calculation can be used to evenly distribute multiple elastic notification identifiers in two radio frames. For example, if RID is 22 and 23, The calculated results are 0 and 1 respectively, then the terminal device with RID 22 is allocated to the first radio frame in the elastic notification period, and the terminal device with RID 23 is allocated to the second radio frame in the elastic notification period. For example, if P is 32, The result is 16, which means that the interval between adjacent wireless frames in one cycle is 16. Calculation shows that the position of the first radio frame in the flexible notification period is 16, and the position of the second radio frame in the flexible notification period is 32. By determining the position of each terminal device in the flexible notification period, multiple third frames corresponding to multiple terminal devices can be determined.

[0223] In this feasible implementation method, multiple third frames of multiple terminal devices are evenly distributed in N frames within the elastic notification period, and the N elastic notification wireless frames are evenly distributed within the elastic notification period, which can reduce the congestion of the elastic notification channel and improve the reliability of communication.

[0224] In a feasible implementation, the configuration parameters also include RF_offset, where RF_offset is a radio frame offset; the third frame satisfies the following formula:

[0225] .

[0226] For example, a radio frame offset is introduced based on the above formula for the third frame, and the third frame is dynamically offset by the radio frame offset. The radio frame offset can flexibly adjust the position of the third frame, further avoiding signal interference that may be caused by modular operations.

[0227] In this feasible implementation, the third frames of different devices can be dynamically staggered through the wireless frame offset, thereby further reducing the congestion of the elastic notification channel and improving the reliability of communication.

[0228] A feasible implementation method is that the target frame is a paging frame, and the configuration parameters include at least one of the following: a discontinuous reception cycle, the number of paging frames in each discontinuous reception cycle, a terminal device identifier, or an offset of the paging frame; monitoring the elastic notification channel includes: monitoring the elastic notification channel in the paging frames of each paging cycle; alternately monitoring the elastic notification channel and the paging channel in the paging frames of adjacent paging cycles; or, monitoring the elastic notification channel in adjacent frames of the paging frames of each paging cycle.

[0229] Exemplarily, a paging frame is a specific radio frame within a system frame number (SFN) period, and is used to determine a time window in which a terminal device in an RRC idle state or an RRC inactive state needs to wake up and listen for paging messages.

[0230] Exemplarily, the flexible notification channel is monitored in the paging frame of each paging cycle, that is, when the channel quality or other preset conditions are met, the flexible notification channel is monitored in the paging frame instead.

[0231] Combined with the scenario example, when the channel quality or other preset conditions are met, the communication quality is poor, and messages will be missed even if the paging channel is monitored. Switching to monitoring the elastic notification channel can effectively obtain missed messages.

[0232] For example, the elastic notification channel and the paging channel are monitored alternately in the paging frames of adjacent paging cycles, that is, the elastic notification channel and the paging channel are monitored alternately. If the elastic notification channel was monitored in the previous cycle, the paging channel is monitored in the current cycle. If the paging channel was monitored in the previous cycle, the elastic notification channel is monitored in the current cycle.

[0233] Next, combine Figure 5 The following describes the alternate monitoring of the flexible notification channel.

[0234] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of an alternate monitoring elastic notification channel provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 As shown, the flexible notification channel and the paging channel are monitored alternately according to the paging cycle of the paging frame, and different channels are monitored in adjacent paging frames.

[0235] Combined with the scenario example, when multiplexing the paging frame, alternately monitoring the elastic notification channel and the paging channel can effectively isolate the reception periods of the elastic notification channel and the paging channel, thereby avoiding signal interference.

[0236] Exemplarily, the flexible notification channel is monitored in adjacent frames of the paging frame in each paging cycle, wherein the adjacent frame may be a previous frame or a next frame of the paging frame.

[0237] Next, combine Figure 6 Monitoring the elastic notification channel in adjacent frames is described.

[0238] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of monitoring the elastic notification channel in adjacent frames provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 As shown, the paging channel is monitored in each paging frame, and the flexible notification channel is monitored in one of the adjacent frames of each paging frame.

[0239] Combined with the scenario example, when multiplexing the paging frame, the elastic notification channel is monitored by the adjacent frames of the paging frame, which can effectively isolate the reception periods of the elastic notification channel and the paging channel, thereby avoiding signal interference.

[0240] In this feasible implementation, the paging frame is a wireless frame necessary for terminal device communication. By multiplexing the paging frame to determine the timing of monitoring the elastic notification channel, the deployment cost can be reduced based on the existing standards.

[0241] In a feasible implementation, the paging frame satisfies the following formula:

[0242]

[0243] Among them, SFN4 is the paging frame, T is the discontinuous reception cycle, M is the number of paging frames in each discontinuous reception cycle, UE_ID is the terminal equipment identifier, and PF_offset is the offset of the paging frame.

[0244] Exemplarily, the discontinuous reception period is the time interval during which the terminal device wakes up to monitor the paging channel. The paging frame offset is used to dynamically adjust the position of the paging frame.

[0245] For example, through The terminal devices are grouped into groups with the same number of paging frames as in the discontinuous period. Evenly distribute multiple terminal devices across multiple paging frames in a discontinuous reception cycle. Determine the interval between paging frames. Accurately determine the position of the paging frame corresponding to the terminal device through grouping and interval.

[0246] For example, the paging frames corresponding to different terminal devices can be dynamically staggered by using the offset of the paging frame.

[0247] In this feasible implementation, by adjusting the grouping and paging frame offsets, multiple paging frames corresponding to multiple terminal devices can be made more dispersed, thereby reducing congestion of the elastic notification channel and improving communication reliability.

[0248] A feasible implementation method, the configuration parameters also include: elastic notification time slot offset and / or elastic notification symbol offset; monitoring the elastic notification channel, including: monitoring the elastic notification channel at the target time slot, the target time slot is obtained by calculating the target frame based on the elastic notification time slot offset; or, monitoring the elastic notification channel at the target symbol, the target symbol is obtained by calculating the target frame or target time slot based on the elastic notification symbol offset.

[0249] Exemplarily, the access network device sends a flexible notification time slot offset and / or a flexible notification symbol offset to the terminal device.

[0250] Exemplarily, the flexible notification time slot offset is used to indicate the time slot number of the target time slot, and the flexible notification symbol offset is used to indicate the symbol position of the target symbol.

[0251] Exemplarily, after determining the target frame, the monitoring opportunity is further positioned to the time slot or symbol by elastically notifying the time slot offset and / or elastically notifying the symbol offset.

[0252] Exemplarily, after determining the target frame, the number of target time slots is first determined by the time slot offset, and then, based on the target time slot, the symbol position of the target symbol is determined by the symbol offset.

[0253] In this example, if the flexible notification slot offset is 7, the target slot is slot 7 of the target frame. If the flexible notification symbol offset is 13, the target symbol is symbol 13 of the target slot.

[0254] In this feasible implementation, by locating the listening opportunities at the slot or symbol level, the listening opportunities of different terminal devices can be effectively isolated, thereby reducing congestion in the elastic notification channel and improving communication reliability. Furthermore, locating the listening opportunities at the slot or symbol level can effectively shorten the time that terminal devices monitor the elastic notification channel, thereby reducing terminal device energy consumption.

[0255] In a feasible implementation manner, the elastic notification identifier is one of the following: a temporary mobile user identifier; a hash value of the temporary mobile user identifier; a cell wireless network temporary identifier; or a terminal device-specific elastic notification identifier.

[0256] Exemplarily, the temporary mobile user identifier may be 5G-S-TMSI, and the hash value of the temporary mobile user identifier may be 5G-S-TMSI mod 1024.

[0257] Exemplarily, the core network device or the access network device sends a flexible notification identifier to the terminal device.

[0258] Optionally, the core network device sends a temporary mobile user identifier to the terminal device and the access network device.

[0259] Optionally, the terminal device receives a terminal device-specific elastic notification identifier through non-access stratum (NAS) signaling, or the terminal device receives a terminal device-specific elastic notification identifier through RRC signaling.

[0260] In this feasible implementation, through various types of flexible notification identifiers, the monitoring timing of the terminal device can be determined in various ways, thereby adapting to different application scenarios and improving the comprehensiveness of channel monitoring.

[0261] In a feasible implementation, the channel monitoring method further includes: sending capability information of the terminal device to the access network device, where the capability information is used to indicate that the terminal device has the capability to monitor the elastic notification channel.

[0262] Optionally, the capability information includes but is not limited to: supported frequency bands, carrier aggregation capabilities, Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) configuration, or supported wireless access technologies (such as support for NR, LTE, etc.).

[0263] Optionally, the terminal device actively reports its capability information to the access network device during initial access and switching.

[0264] Optionally, the terminal device receives an instruction from the network device and reports capability information of the terminal device to the access network device according to the instruction.

[0265] Combined with the scenario example, the capability information indicates that the terminal device has the ability to monitor the elastic notification channel. On this basis, the core network allocates a dedicated elastic notification identifier for the terminal device to ensure that the dedicated elastic notification identifier for the terminal device can be used normally on the terminal device.

[0266] In this feasible implementation, the capability information can clearly indicate whether the terminal device has the ability to monitor the elastic notification channel, and the network device can accurately allocate a terminal device-specific elastic notification identifier based on the capability information, thereby improving the reliability of communication.

[0267] A feasible implementation method is that the terminal device's dedicated elastic notification identifier is a dedicated elastic notification identifier allocated by the core network device to the terminal device; or, the terminal device's dedicated elastic notification identifier is a dedicated elastic notification identifier allocated by the access network device to the terminal device.

[0268] Next, combine Figure 7 Describes the allocation of dedicated flexible notification identifiers for terminal devices.

[0269] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of allocating a dedicated flexible notification identifier for a terminal device according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 As shown, the terminal device sends capability information to the network device, the network device allocates a terminal device-specific elastic notification identifier based on the capability information, and the network device sends the terminal device-specific elastic notification identifier to the terminal device. The network device may be an access network device or a core network device.

[0270] Exemplarily, the capability information includes the flexible notification capability of the terminal device.

[0271] As an example, the core network device allocates a terminal device-specific elastic notification identifier to the terminal device based on the contract information of the terminal device, wherein the contract information includes the elastic notification parameters of the terminal device.

[0272] Exemplarily, the flexible notification parameter includes at least one of the following: whether the terminal device uses flexible notification, the service type for which the terminal device uses flexible notification, or a caller permission list that uses flexible notification.

[0273] In combination with scenario examples, for example, the service types using flexible notifications on terminal devices may include: voice services, data services, or SMS services. For example, if the caller's allowed list contains the number 1XXXXXXXXXX, then when the caller's number is the above number, a flexible notification signal is sent, and when the caller's number is any other number, no flexible notification signal is sent. For another example, if the list contains 10.10.10.*, then when the caller's IP address is a URL in the above network segment, a flexible notification signal is sent, and when the caller's address is any other URL, no flexible notification signal is sent.

[0274] In this feasible implementation, by allocating a variety of terminal device-specific flexible notification identifiers, different application scenarios can be adapted, thereby improving the comprehensiveness of channel monitoring.

[0275] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a channel monitoring device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 8 As shown, the channel monitoring device 80 may include: a first receiving module 81, a first monitoring module 82, a first execution module 83, and a first sending module 84, wherein:

[0276] The first receiving module 81 is used to receive configuration parameters, which are used by the terminal device to determine the monitoring timing of the elastic notification channel. The monitoring timing of the elastic notification channel is the target frame for monitoring the elastic notification channel;

[0277] The first monitoring module 82 is configured to monitor the flexible notification channel according to a monitoring opportunity.

[0278] It should be noted that the channel monitoring device shown in the embodiment of the present application can execute the technical solution shown in the above method embodiment, and its implementation principle and beneficial effects are similar, which will not be repeated here.

[0279] In a possible implementation, the configuration parameters include at least one of the following: a flexible notification period or a flexible notification flag.

[0280] In a possible implementation, the target frame is the first frame; the first frame satisfies the following formula:

[0281]

[0282] SFN1 is the first frame, P is the flexible notification period, and RID is the flexible notification identifier.

[0283] In a possible implementation, the configuration parameters further include RF_offset, where RF_offset is a radio frame offset; the first frame satisfies the following formula:

[0284] .

[0285] In a possible implementation, the configuration parameters further include an elastic notification offset, and the target frame is the second frame; the second frame satisfies the following formula:

[0286]

[0287] Among them, SFN2 is the second frame, P is the flexible notification period, RID is the flexible notification identifier, and K is the flexible notification offset.

[0288] In a possible implementation, the configuration parameters further include RF_offset, where RF_offset is a radio frame offset; the second frame satisfies the following formula:

[0289] .

[0290] In a possible implementation, the configuration parameters further include the number of radio frames in each flexible notification period, with the target frame being the third frame; and the third frame satisfies the following formula:

[0291]

[0292] SFN3 is the third frame, P is the flexible notification period, N is the number of radio frames in each flexible notification period, and RID is the flexible notification identifier.

[0293] In a possible implementation, the configuration parameters further include RF_offset, where RF_offset is a radio frame offset; and the third frame satisfies the following formula:

[0294] .

[0295] In one possible implementation, the target frame is a paging frame, and the configuration parameters include at least one of the following: a discontinuous reception cycle, the number of paging frames in each discontinuous reception cycle, a terminal device identifier, or an offset of the paging frame; a first monitoring module is specifically used to: monitor the elastic notification channel in the paging frames of each paging cycle; alternately monitor the elastic notification channel and the paging channel in the paging frames of adjacent paging cycles; or, monitor the elastic notification channel in adjacent frames of the paging frames of each paging cycle.

[0296] In a possible implementation, the paging frame satisfies the following formula:
