[0042] For ease of understanding, some of the contents involved in the embodiments of this application are described below:

[0043] Cell selection and cell reselection. In the cell selection and reselection process, cells can be divided into:

[0044] Acceptable cell: According to the S criterion, it can meet the minimum access requirements;

[0045] Suitable cell: A cell that can provide normal services to the UE according to the S criteria and to which the Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) to which the cell belongs is consistent with the UE's subscription data.

[0046] Reserved cell: The cell is indicated as Reserved in the system information;

[0047] Barred cell: The cell is indicated as Barred in the system information.

[0048] The selection criteria can also be called the S criteria.

[0049] During cell selection, the terminal needs to measure the channel quality of the cell being selected, even performing a channel quality assessment, to determine whether it meets the criteria for camping. This measurement criterion for cell selection is called the S criterion. If the channel quality and signal strength of a cell meet the S criterion, it may be selected as the camping cell. Meeting the S criterion requires that both Srxlev > 0 and Squal > 0. The power criterion is the received power (Srxlev > 0), and the quality criterion is the signal quality received during cell search (Squal > 0).

[0050] Srxlev=Q rxlevmeas –(Q rxlevmin +Q rxlevminoffset )–P compensation -Qoffset temp ;

[0051] Srxlev: cell selection receiving level value;

[0052] Q rxlevmeas : The received signal level value / signal strength (RSPR) of the measured cell;

[0053] Q rxlevmin (Network-side device configuration): Minimum cell receive level. Increasing this value for a cell makes it more difficult for the cell to meet the S criteria and become a suitable cell, making it more difficult for the UE to select the cell, and vice versa. This parameter should be set so that the selected cell can provide the signal quality requirements for basic services.

[0054] Q rxlevminoffset (Network-side device configuration): Cell minimum receive level offset. This parameter is used only when the UE is camping on a VPLMN and cell selection is triggered by periodic searches for high-priority PLMNs. Increasing this value for a cell makes it more difficult for the cell to meet the S criterion and become a suitable cell, making it more difficult for the UE to select the cell, and vice versa.

[0055] P compensation (Network side equipment configuration): Used to punish UEs that cannot reach the maximum power of the cell. When the UE's maximum allowed transmit power is less than or equal to the maximum transmit power supported by the UE's capabilities, P compensation = 0. When the maximum allowed transmit power of the UE is greater than the maximum transmit power supported by the UE capability, P compensation = UE maximum allowed transmit power - UE capability supported maximum transmit power.

[0056] Qoffset temp (Network-side device configuration): Temporary offset applied to this cell. This value is configured with the ConnEstFailOffset parameter in RRC and is used for connection failure control.

[0057] Squal=Q qualmeas –(Q qualmin +Q qualminoffset )-Qoffset temp ;

[0058] Squal: cell selection quality value;

[0059] Q qualmeas : Measured cell quality value (RSRQ);

[0060] Q qualmin (Network-side device configuration): Minimum received signal quality. This parameter indicates the minimum received signal quality required for reselection and is used to control the difficulty of cell reselection. This parameter is issued in SIB5. Increasing this value for a cell makes it more difficult for the cell to meet the S criterion and become a suitable cell, making it more difficult for the UE to select the cell, and vice versa.

[0061] Q qualminoffset (Network-side device configuration): Minimum received signal quality offset. This parameter indicates the minimum received signal quality offset for a cell and is applied to the cell selection criterion (S-criterion). This parameter is used only when the UE is residing in a VPLMN and cell selection is triggered by periodic searches for high-priority PLMNs. Increasing this value for a cell makes it more difficult for the cell to meet the S-criterion and become a suitable cell, making it more difficult for the UE to select the cell, and vice versa.

[0062] Qoffset temp Configured by network-side devices.

[0063] The cell reselection criterion may also be referred to as the R criterion.

[0064] When a UE is idle / inactive, after cell selection, it continuously monitors the signal quality of neighboring cells and the current cell in order to camp on a cell with higher priority or better channel quality. If the signal quality and rating of a neighboring cell meet the S criterion and certain reselection criteria, the UE will camp on that cell.

[0065] Measurement criteria for cell reselection:

[0066] After the UE successfully camps on the cell, it will continue to measure the cell. To minimize the UE energy consumption caused by the measurement, the RRC layer calculates the S criterion based on the RSRP / RSRQ measurement results and compares it with the intra-frequency measurement start threshold (Sintrasearch) and the inter-frequency measurement start threshold (Snonintrasearch) as the decision condition for whether to start neighbor cell measurement.

[0067] The UE measures the serving cell signal and detects the serving cell signal strength Srxlev or quality Squal.

[0068] Intra-frequency measurement start criteria: Srxlev ≤ SintrasearchP or Squal ≤ SintrasearchQ.

[0069] Inter-frequency measurement startup criteria (for frequencies of the same or lower priority): Srxlev ≤ SnonintrasearchP or Squal ≤ SnonintrasearchQ.

[0070] During the reselection process, the network can control the UE's stay by setting the priority of different frequencies. The UE will select the cell with the best channel quality at a certain frequency to provide the best service. There are three ways for the UE to obtain the frequency priority information it needs to use:

[0071] (1) System information: For a certain frequency point, the corresponding absolute priority is provided in the system information;

[0072] (2) RRC Release message: If the frequency priority is provided by dedicated RRC signaling, the priority in SI is ignored;

[0073] (3) Inherited from other RATs.

[0074] The reselection criteria (R criteria) for same-frequency and same-priority inter-frequency cells are defined as follows, where Rs is used for the serving cell and Rn is used for the neighboring cell.

[0075] Rs=Qmeas,s+Qhyst–Qoffsettemp;

[0076] Rn=Qmeas,n-Qoffset–Qoffsettemp;

[0077] Qmeas: RSRP measurement;

[0078] Qoffset: The offset between the target candidate cell and the current resident cell. It is used to adjust the difficulty of reselection and reduce the ping-pong effect. When other parameters remain constant, increasing the offset increases the difficulty of reselecting same-frequency or same-priority cells, and vice versa. For same-frequency reselection, this parameter is equal to inter-cell Qoffsets,n (inter-cell Qoffsets,n exists in the system broadcast) or 0 (inter-cell Qoffsets,n does not exist in the system broadcast). For inter-frequency reselection, this parameter is equal to 'inter-frequency Qoffsetfrequency + inter-cell Qoffsets,n' (inter-cell Qoffsets,n exists in the system broadcast) or 'inter-frequency Qoffsetfrequency' (inter-cell Qoffsets,n does not exist in the system broadcast).

[0079] Qhyst: Hysteresis value of the serving cell measurement. This parameter is related to the slow fading characteristics of the cell environment. A larger slow fading variance indicates a larger hysteresis value. A larger hysteresis value also increases the serving cell boundary, making it more difficult to reselect to a neighboring cell. This value is used to adjust the reselection difficulty and reduce the ping-pong effect. An excessively large value can lead to delayed reselection. If the terminal initiates a connection at this time, RRC connection establishment may fail.

[0080] The signal transmission method provided in the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below through some embodiments and their application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0081] Reference Figure 2 , the embodiment of the present application provides a signal transmission method, such as Figure 2 As shown, the signal transmission method includes:

[0082] Step 201: The terminal sends a target signal to a network-side device of a first cell, where the target signal is used to trigger the network-side device of the first cell to send a system information block (SIB).

[0083] Step 202: The terminal receives the SIB from a network-side device of the first cell;

[0084] Step 203: The terminal receives paging from the network side device of the first cell according to the SIB.

[0086] It should be understood that after receiving the SIB, the first terminal may receive paging according to the paging configuration in the SIB. Receiving paging may be understood as camping on the first cell, that is, the terminal camps on the first cell after receiving the SIB.

[0235] In order to better understand the present application, some examples are given below for detailed description.

[0236] Embodiment 1: Initial search for the NES cell where the UE resides.

[0237] For the UE in the initial search, it can receive both the synchronization signal block (Synchronization Signal and PBCH block, SSB) and system information block (System Information Block, SIB) 1 (which contains the WUS configuration for waking up the NES cell) of the coverage cell, and the SSB of the NES cell.

[0238] The UE can measure the reference signals of each cell and find that the measurement results of the coverage cell do not meet the S criterion, and the NES cell supports on-demand SIB1;

[0239] The UE sends a WUS to the NES cell and receives the SIB1 from the NES cell.

[0240] If the reference signal measurement result of the NES cell is found to meet the S criterion, the NES cell is retained.

[0241] In some embodiments, for an initially searched UE, if there are only two candidate cells, normal cell A and NES cell, the UE has the following basic cell selection process: first, the WUS configuration of the NES cell is obtained from cell A that normally sends SIB1, and the UE measures each cell. If cell A is a suitable cell, the UE selects cell A to reside on. If cell A is not a suitable cell, and certain conditions in the first criterion are met, the UE sends a UL WUS signal to the NES cell to trigger the NES cell to send SIB1. The UE receives the SIB1 of the NES cell and determines whether the NES cell is a suitable cell based on the SIB1 of the NES cell. If the NES cell is a suitable cell, the UE resides on the NES cell.

[0242] Embodiment 2: The UE that has camped on the NES reselects to the NES cell.

[0243] For a UE that is reselecting a cell, that is, a UE that has already resided in a coverage cell (a second cell), it has received the SIB of the second cell (which contains the WUS configuration for waking up the NES cell) and can also receive the SSB sent by the NES cell. The UE determines whether to start measurement based on the same-frequency and different-frequency measurement thresholds. Assuming that the measurement of same-frequency and equal-priority different-frequency cells is started, the R value of each cell needs to be calculated, and the calculated R value of the NES cell is the highest.

[0244] If the UE has determined that the NES cell is a suitable cell before sending the WUS (for example, the PLMN is carried by the second cell): the UE directly sends the WUS to the NES cell, receives the SIB1 of the NES cell, and then reselects the NES cell.

[0245] If the UE cannot determine that the NES cell is a suitable cell before sending the WUS: the UE determines whether it needs to send a WUS to the NES cell based on the SSB measurement result of the NES cell and the information provided by the coverage cell (the measurement configuration of the NES cell, including the NES-specific threshold value, offset value, etc.) combined with the first criterion. If the first criterion is met, the UE sends a WUS to the NES cell, triggering the sending of the SIB1 of the NES cell. The UE receives the SIB1 of the NES cell. If it is determined that the NES cell is a suitable cell, it reselects to the NES cell.

[0246] Example 3: Impact of NES cells sending different types of SSBs on legacy UEs and R19 UEs.

[0247] In the energy-saving state, the NES cell does not send SIB1 but sends SSB.

[0248] If the NES cell sends CD-SSB:

[0249] For legacy UEs, blind detection of a non-existent SIB1 wastes power. Legacy UEs will blindly detect SIB1 on control resource set #0 (CORESET0) associated with the CD-SSB. However, the NES cell is in energy-saving mode and does not send SIB1. If the legacy UE cannot detect SIB1 at CORESET0, it will assume that the cell is barred and will not reselect the NES cell.

[0250] R19 UE can learn from the second cell that the NES cell is currently in energy-saving state (supporting on-demand SIB1). In energy-saving state, SIB1 is not sent, so there is no need to detect SIB1 in CORESET0 associated with CD-SSB. The UE decides whether to send WUS to the NES cell based on the SSB measurement result of the NES cell and the corresponding criteria. After sending the WUS, it obtains the SIB1 of the NES cell. If the residency conditions are met, it resides in the NES cell.

[0251] If the NES cell sends NCD-SSB:

[0252] There is no impact on legacy UEs because NCD-SSB is not associated with SIB1. UEs will not receive SIB1 and will not reside in NES cells.

[0253] For R19 UEs, although NCD-SSB is not associated with SIB1, the SIB message of the coverage cell (second cell) notifies the UE that the NES cell allows SIB1 to be triggered by WUS, and the CORESET 0 configuration of the NES cell is also configured for the UE. The UE then determines whether to send WUS to the NES cell based on the SSB measurement results of the NES cell and the corresponding criteria. After sending the WUS, it receives the SIB1 of the NES cell. If the residency conditions are met, it resides in the NES cell. The behavior here is different from that of legacy UEs. Legacy UEs directly ignore the NES cell that sends NCD-SSB and will not reside in the NES cell. The current R19 UE will determine whether to send WUS to the NES cell based on the NES cell information obtained from the coverage cell and the NES cell measurement results. After sending the WUS and receiving the SIB1 of the NES cell, it will determine whether the NES cell is allowed to reside.

[0254] In the fourth embodiment, the UE determines whether to reselect according to the R criterion and the PLMN.

[0255] Method 1: First determine whether it is a suitable cell, then send a WUS and then camp on it: The UE meets the conditions for triggering intra-frequency and inter-frequency measurements. The UE first calculates the R value of each cell and finds that the NES cell has the highest R value. The coverage cell has previously configured the NES cell's PLMN to the UE (or the NES cell and coverage cell have the same priority by default). The UE finds that the PLMN to which the NES cell belongs is consistent with the UE's subscription data. Then, the UE knows that the NES cell is a suitable cell. Before reselecting the NES cell, the UE sends a WUS to the NES cell, obtains the NES cell's SIB1, and camps on the NES cell.

[0256] Optionally, the PLMN in mode 1 is carried by the first cell or is a default, and does not need to be triggered by the UE.

[0257] Method 2: Send a WUS first, confirm whether it is a suitable cell based on SIB1, and then camp on it: The UE meets the conditions for triggering intra-frequency and inter-frequency measurements. The UE first calculates the R value of each cell and finds that the NES cell has the highest R value. However, it needs to send a WUS to obtain the SIB1 of the NES cell to confirm whether the NES cell is a suitable cell. After sending the WUS and obtaining the SIB1 of the NES cell, the UE finds that the PLMN matches and then reselects to the cell.

[0258] Mode 2: The PLMN of Mode 2 is triggered by WUS.

[0259] Embodiment 5: Reselection of cells with different priorities.

[0260] For high-priority cell reselection, NES cell can be configured with NES-specific offset value (specificoffset) and NES-specific time interval;

[0261] Higher priority NR frequency or inter-RAT frequency than the serving frequency High priority cell reselection:

[0262] If the system information broadcasts threshServingLowQ and more than 1 second has passed since the terminal camped on the current serving cell, the terminal should reselect to a cell on an NR frequency or inter-RAT frequency with a higher priority than the current serving frequency if the following condition 1 is met.

[0263] Condition 1 includes: in a time interval Treselection RAT A cell with a higher priority NR or EUTRANRAT / frequency satisfies Squal>Thresh X,HighP,NES (Quality threshold dedicated to high-priority cell reselection for NES).

[0264] Otherwise, if the following condition 2 is met, the terminal should reselect to a cell on an NR frequency or inter-RAT frequency with a higher priority than the current serving frequency.

[0265] Condition 2 includes at least one of the following: RAT A cell with a higher priority RAT / frequency satisfies Srxlev>Thresh X,HighP,NES(Power threshold dedicated to high-priority cell reselection for NES); more than 1 second has passed since the terminal camped on the current serving cell.

[0266] Optionally, the above time interval Treselection RAT Can be NES-specific time intervals:

[0267] For example, Treselection RAT,NES .

[0268] For low-priority cell reselection, NES specific offset and NES specific time interval can be configured for NES cells;

[0269] Lower priority NR frequency or inter-RAT frequency than the serving frequency Low priority cell reselection:

[0270] If the system information broadcasts threshServingLowQ and more than 1 second has passed since the terminal camped on the current serving cell, the terminal SHOULD reselect to a cell on an NR frequency or inter-RAT frequency with a lower priority than the current serving frequency if condition 3 below is met.

[0271] Condition 3 includes:

[0272] Treselection in a time interval RAT The serving cell meets Squal <Thresh Serving,LowQ,NES (Quality threshold for low-priority cell reselection dedicated to NES), and the lower priority NR or E-UTRAN RAT / frequency satisfies Squal>Thresh X,LowQ,NES (Quality threshold dedicated to low-priority cell reselection in NES).

[0273] Otherwise, if the following condition 4 is met, the terminal should reselect to a cell on an NR frequency or inter-RAT frequency with a lower priority than the current serving frequency.

[0274] Condition 4 includes at least one of the following:

[0275] Treselection in a time interval RAT The serving cell satisfies Srxlev <Thresh Serving,LowP,NES(Quality threshold for reselection of low-priority cells dedicated to NES), and a cell with a lower priority RAT / frequency satisfies Srxlev>Thresh X,LowP,NES (Quality threshold dedicated to low-priority cell reselection for NES);

[0276] More than 1 second has passed since the terminal camped on the current serving cell.

[0277] Optionally, the above time interval Treselection RAT Can be NES-specific time intervals:

[0278] For example, Treselection RAT,NES .

[0279] Example 6: Introducing cell priority.

[0280] For same-frequency cell reselection (R criterion), cell priority is further introduced, for example, non-NES cells have a higher priority and NES cells have a lower priority.

[0281] The UE can learn whether a cell is an NES cell or a non-NES cell through the SIB of the second cell or the SSB of the first cell. When the R values of multiple cells are the same, the non-NES cell with a higher cell priority is selected according to the cell priority.

[0282] Embodiment 7: Criteria for reselection of same-frequency cells and inter-frequency cells with the same priority.

[0283] The UE can make the judgment based on the following criteria:

[0284] If the R value of the NES cell is the highest among all same-frequency and same-priority inter-frequency cells, but there is no service and the serving cell can reside (the S criterion is met), cell reselection is not performed;

[0285] If the R value of the NES cell is the highest among all same-frequency and inter-frequency cells of the same priority, but there is no service, the serving cell cannot be camped on (the S criterion is not met), and cell reselection is performed;

[0286] If the R value of the NES cell is the highest among all same-frequency and same-priority inter-frequency cells, and there is a service to be sent, cell reselection is performed;

[0287] If the R value of the NES cell is the highest among all same-frequency and same-priority inter-frequency cells, and there is a low-priority service to be sent, and the serving cell can reside (the S criterion is met), cell reselection is not performed;

[0288] If the R value of the NES cell is the highest among all same-frequency and same-priority inter-frequency cells and there is a high-priority service to be sent, cell reselection is performed.

[0289] Optionally, the network side device triggers: the network side device notifies the UE of a high priority service through a paging message. If the R value of the NES cell is the highest among all same-frequency and same-priority inter-frequency cells, the UE performs cell reselection.

[0290] Example 8: Operations after residency. Figure 3 As shown, it includes the following processes:

[0291] The UE sends a WUS to the first cell (the configuration of sending the WUS is obtained through the second cell), starts the first timer at the first symbol of the earliest CORESET, and within the running time of the first timer,

[0292] The UE receives SIB1 of the first cell;

[0293] receiving paging according to SIB1 of the first cell and residing in the first cell;

[0294] Detect DCI (RAR) scrambled by RA-RNTI;

[0295] Decode received RAR.

[0296] Subsequently, the UE sends a target uplink transmission to the first cell at the corresponding time-frequency position according to the UL grant in the RAR. The target uplink transmission carries information such as the UE ID. The target cell receives the target uplink transmission and learns that the UE resides in the target cell. Subsequently, it only needs to send paging to these UEs that send target uplink transmissions, reducing paging overhead.

[0297] Example 9: For Figure 4 In scenario A shown, signal transmission includes the following process:

[0298] 1. The UE is currently residing in a coverage cell and can detect the SSB sent by the NES cell;

[0299] 2. When the signal strength of the coverage cell is lower than the first threshold and the signal strength of the reference signal measurement result of the NES cell is greater than the second target threshold, the UE sends an uplink UE WUS signal to the NES cell;

[0300] 3. The NES cell receives the UE WUS signal, wakes up, and starts sending SIB1;

[0301] 4. The UE starts receiving the SIB1 of the NES cell. The UE receives paging according to the SIB1 configuration contained in the NES cell and resides in the NES cell.

[0302] 5. The UE initiates a single or double target uplink transmission (Msg1);

[0303] 6. The network receives the target uplink transmission and learns that the UE resides in an NES cell. Subsequent paging only requires sending paging messages to the UE starting from the NES cell. Furthermore, the paging message only needs to be sent to the UE that sent the target uplink transmission. This avoids having to send paging messages to all base stations in the entire TA area, reducing paging overhead.

[0304] Example 10: For Figure 5 In the scenario B shown, signal transmission includes the following process:

[0305] 1. The UE is currently residing in coverage cell A and can detect the SSB sent by the NES cell (coverage cell B);

[0306] 2. When the signal strength of coverage cell A is lower than the first threshold, and the difference between the signal strength of the reference signal measurement result of the NES cell and the signal strength of coverage cell A is greater than the third target threshold, the UE sends an uplink UE WUS signal to the NES cell.

[0307] 3. The NES cell receives the UE WUS signal, wakes up, and starts sending SIB1;

[0308] 4. The UE starts receiving the SIB1 of the NES cell. The UE receives paging according to the SIB1 configuration contained in the NES cell and resides in the NES cell.

[0309] 5. The UE initiates a single or double target uplink transmission (Msg1);

[0310] 6. The network receives the target uplink transmission and learns that the UE resides in an NES cell. Subsequent paging only needs to start from the NES cell and send paging messages to the UE. This avoids having to send paging messages to all base stations in the entire TA area and only needs to send paging messages to the UE that sent the target uplink transmission, reducing paging overhead.

[0311] Example 11: For Figure 6 In the scenario B shown, signal transmission includes the following process:

[0312] 1. There are multiple indoor small cells in the on-demand SIB1 state (i.e., in energy-saving mode) under the coverage cell. When a UE moves from outdoors to indoors, the uplink service rate may decrease due to the obstruction of the building, which degrades the user experience. However, the UE can receive the WUS configuration information to wake up the NES cell through the coverage cell.

[0313] 2. After the UE enters an indoor location, the signal strength of the coverage cell it originally resides on falls below the first threshold, and the UE can receive the SSB of small cell B. The UE identifies small cell B as supporting on-demand SIB1 and begins sending WUS to the NES cell.

[0314] 3. The NES cell receives the UE WUS signal, wakes up, and starts sending SIB1;

[0315] 4. The UE starts to receive the SIB1 of the NES cell. The UE receives paging according to the SIB1 configuration contained in the NES cell and resides in the NES cell.

[0316] Embodiment 12: The conditions for the UE to send WUS to trigger the NES cell to send SIB1 include various conditions corresponding to the first criterion. When configuring NES cell-related configurations, the network-side device can configure appropriate absolute values or offset values according to the purpose to solve problems such as high RACH collision probability.

[0317] Optionally, if the NES cell is an inter-frequency cell with a frequency priority different from that of the currently camped cell:

[0318] During the initial configuration, the network-side device can configure a higher or lower frequency priority for the NES cell. The UE can obtain the frequency priority information of the NES cell through the cell it originally resides in, the serving cell, or the second cell. When the signal strength of the second cell is lower than the NES-specific first threshold and the frequency priority of the NES cell is very high, the UE can send a WUS to the NES cell, triggering the NES cell to send SIB1, and then receive the NES cell's SIB1, receive paging according to the NES cell's SIB1, and reside in the NES cell.

[0319] Optionally, if the NES cell is a cell with the same frequency or an inter-frequency cell with the same priority as the currently camped cell:

[0320] The conditions for sending WUS can be determined based on the R criterion. When a cell is reselected, the cell ranking criterion is defined as follows, where Rs is used for the serving cell and Rn is used for the neighboring cell. The formula expression and meaning in the protocol are as follows:

[0321] Rs=Qmeas,s+Qhyst–Qoffsettemp;

[0322] Rn=Qmeas,n-Qoffset–Qoffsettemp;

[0323] Qmeas: RSRP measurement value;

[0324] Qoffset: The offset between the target candidate cell and the current resident cell. It is used to adjust the difficulty of reselection and reduce the ping-pong effect. When other parameters remain constant, increasing the offset makes it more difficult to reselect cells with the same or different frequencies and the same priority level, and vice versa.

[0325] Qhyst: The hysteresis value of the serving cell measurement quantity is configured by the network side equipment.

[0326] As can be seen from the protocol, in addition to the offset value (Qoffsettemp) and hysteresis value (Qhyst) configured by the network-side equipment, cell reselection is mainly related to the relative value (Qoffset) between the signal strength of the target candidate cell and the current cell. Qoffset is configured by the network-side equipment and is used to adjust the reselection difficulty and reduce the ping-pong effect. To take NES cells into account and consider the conditions that trigger NES cells to send SIB1, the R criterion formula can be modified to include NES-specific offset values, as shown below:

[0327] Rnes=Qmeas,n-Qoffset–Qoffsettemp+OFFSET(if the cell is NES cell)

[0328] This OFFSET can be either positive or negative. That is, as long as the cell is an NES cell, the OFFSET (configured by the network device) must be added when calculating Rn using the R criterion. When the Rn of the NES cell is the largest among neighboring cells, or ranks among the top X, the UE can send a WUS to trigger the NES cell to send SIB1.

[0329] The above method modifies the original R value calculation method in the protocol. In addition to modifying the above formula, multiple Qoffset values can be configured (where Qoffset is an item in the existing formula). For example, the Qoffset value of the NES cell corresponds to A, and the Qoffset value of the non-NES cell corresponds to B. Then, Rn is calculated. When the Rn of the NES cell is the largest among the neighboring cells, or ranks among the top X (X ≥ 1), the UE can send a WUS to trigger the NES cell to send SIB1.

[0330] Example 13: The following reasons and corresponding numbers are provided by the protocol or the network side device configuration to trigger the sending of WUS:

[0331] Number 1: The terminal measures that the signal strength or signal quality of the second cell is lower than a first threshold (including the first preset threshold and the second preset threshold); and the terminal measures that the signal strength or signal quality of the first cell is higher than a second threshold (including the third preset threshold and the fourth preset threshold).

[0332] Number 2: The signal strength or signal quality of the second cell measured by the terminal is lower than a first threshold; and the relative value or difference between the signal strength or signal quality of the first cell and the signal strength or signal quality of the second cell measured by the terminal is greater than a third threshold;

[0333] Number 3: The terminal measures that the signal strength or signal quality of the second cell is higher than the first threshold; and the UE has a service to send;

[0334] Number 4: The terminal measures that the signal strength or signal quality of the second cell is higher than the first threshold; and the terminal measures that the frequency priority of the first cell is higher than that of the second cell;

[0335] When the UE sends a target signal to the network-side device, the target signal may carry a number identifier to indicate the reason why the network-side device triggers the sending of the WUS.

[0336] Embodiment 14: Before sending the first signal, the UE receives measurement configuration information of multiple cells.

[0337] For example, the measurement configuration of the first cell may include at least one of the following:

[0338] The cell ID of the associated first cell; the frequency of the first cell; whether the first cell supports on-demand SIB1; the frequency priority of the first cell; whether the first cell allows WUS to trigger the sending of SIB1; whether the first cell allows UE to reside; whether the first cell sends paging; whether the indication is the same as the measurement configuration of the second cell; the first signal configuration of the first cell; the high priority cell reselection threshold; the low priority cell reselection threshold; the same frequency or same priority cell reselection threshold; the first preset threshold, the second preset threshold, the third preset threshold, the fourth preset threshold, the fifth preset threshold and the sixth preset threshold.

[0339] Example 15: A scenario in which an idle UE resides in a normal cell A and moves toward an NES cell B.

[0340] For example, an idle UE first resides on normal cell A and obtains its SIB1, which contains the WUS configuration used to trigger the NES cell's SIB1 transmission. As the UE moves toward NES cell B, it performs neighbor measurements. If certain conditions are met (such as the first criterion), the UE sends a UL WUS toward NES cell B, triggering NES cell B to transmit its SIB1. The UE then receives NES cell B's SIB1 and determines whether it can reselect to cell B. If the reselection conditions are met, the UE remains in NES cell B.

[0341] Example 16: A scenario where an idle UE resides in NES cell B.

[0342] For example, an idle UE has been staying in NES cell B. However, after a period of time, the UE finds that the previously retained SIB1 of NES cell B has expired and is invalid. At this time, the UE needs to send an UL WUS again to trigger cell B to send SIB1, and then the UE receives the SIB1 of cell B.

[0343] Example 17: An idle UE camps on NES cell B and moves to NES cell C.

[0344] For example, an idle UE has been camped on NES cell B. Before camping, it has obtained the SIB1 of NES cell B. The SIB1 of NES cell B includes the WUS configuration that triggers the SIB1 of NES cell C. When the UE moves toward cell C and performs some neighboring cell measurements, if certain conditions (such as the first criterion) are met, the UE sends a ULWUS to NES cell C, triggering the sending of SIB1 of NES cell C. The UE receives the SIB1 of NES cell C and determines whether cell C meets the conditions for cell reselection. If the conditions for cell reselection are met, the UE performs cell reselection and camps on NES cell C.

[0345] Example 18: An idle UE resides in NES cell B and moves towards normal cell A.

[0346] For example, an idle UE has been camping on NES cell B. When the UE moves toward cell A, if the cell reselection conditions are met, the UE performs cell reselection and camps on normal cell A.
