[0002] To address the issue of network energy consumption, network energy conservation mainly discusses various technologies that are beneficial to reducing energy consumption of network equipment from the perspectives of time domain, frequency domain, spatial domain, and power domain.

[0356] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages to be solved by the present application clearer, the following will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. In the following description, specific details such as specific configurations and components are provided only to help fully understand the embodiments of the present application. Therefore, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present application. In addition, for clarity and brevity, the description of known functions and structures has been omitted.

[0357] It should be understood that references throughout this specification to "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic associated with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the present application. Therefore, the appearances of "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" throughout this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, these particular features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0358] In the various embodiments of the present application, it should be understood that the size of the serial numbers of the following processes does not mean the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present application.

[0359] In the embodiments of this application, the term "and / or" describes the association relationship between associated objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent three situations: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0360] In the embodiments of the present application, the term "plurality" refers to two or more than two, and other quantifiers are similar.

[0361] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0362] When describing the embodiments of the present application, some concepts used in the following description are first explained.

[0363] 1. The specific meanings of the fields carried in the MIB are as follows:

[0364] 1. System Frame Number (SFN): 10 bits in total. The MIB carries the 6 high-order bits of the 10 bits. The remaining 4 low-order bits of the SFN are transmitted in the physical broadcast channel (PBCH) transport block as part of the channel coding.

[0365] 2. Subcarrier Spacing Common: The subcarrier spacing used by Remaining Minimum System Information (RMSI) / MSG2 / MSG4. The subcarrier spacing for frequencies less than 6 GHz is 15 kHz and 30 kHz, and the subcarrier spacing for frequencies greater than 6 GHz is 60 kHz and 120 kHz.

[0366] 3. SSB subcarrier offset (ssb-SubcarrierOffset): Indicates the subcarrier offset of the SSB relative to the common resource block (CRB) in the frequency domain, expressed as k SSB This field can be extended to 5 bits by a coded bit in the PBCH transport block. The SSB subcarrier offset may indicate that this cell does not provide SIB1. In this case, the PDCCHSIB1 configuration field indicates the frequency position where the UE can find the SSB carrying SIB1 scheduling information, or indicates the frequency range where the UE cannot find the SSB carrying SIB1 scheduling information;

[0367] 4. DMRS-TypeA Position (dmrs-TypeA-Position): indicates the position of the first downlink (DL) and UL DMRS;

[0368] 5. PDCCH SIB1 configuration (pdcch-ConfigSIB1): Determines a common control resource set (CORESET), a common search space, and necessary PDCCH parameters. The PDCCH SIB1 configuration may include two fields, one of which is used to indicate control resource set 0 (controlResourceSetZero, CORESET#0), and the other is used to indicate search space 0 (searchSpaceZero) (such as Type0CSS). If the SSB subcarrier offset may indicate that this cell does not provide SIB1, in this case, the PDCCH SIB1 configuration field indicates the frequency position where the UE can find the SSB carrying SIB1 scheduling information, or indicates the frequency range in which the UE cannot find the SSB carrying SIB1 scheduling information;

[0369] 6. Cell Barred: Indicates whether the cell prohibits UE from staying;

[0370] 7. IntraFreqReselection: Indicates whether intraFreq cell reselection is allowed; controls intraFreq reselection when a high-priority cell is prohibited from access.

[0371] 2. SSB subcarrier offset kSSB Usage:

[0372] If a UE detects a first SSB and determines that the scheduling information of SIB1 does not exist, and for FR1 24 ≤ k SSB ≤29 or 12≤k for FR2 SSB ≤13, the UE can determine the GSCN of the second SSB that carries the most recent SIB1 scheduling information. For the first SSB GSCN, FR1 and FR2-1 of It can be determined by the following Table 1 and Table 2. In Table 1 and Table 2, by k SSB Determined together with the 8-bit (256 states) PDCCH SIB1 configuration field

[0373] Table 1: FR1

[0374]

[0375]

[0376] Table 2: FR2

[0377]

[0378] If a UE detects an SSB and determines that the scheduling information of SIB1 does not exist, and for FR1 k SSB =31 or for FR2 k SSB =15, the UE can determine the frequency domain range of the SSB that does not carry SIB1 scheduling information is in, and They are determined by the control resource set 0 (controlResourceSetZero) and search space (searchSpaceZero) in the PDCCH SIB1 configuration respectively.

[0379] On-demand SIB1

[0380] For network energy conservation purposes, a cell can transmit only SSBs and not SIB1. This reduces network energy consumption by reducing SIB1 transmission. The UE can trigger the transmission of SIB1 on demand by sending UL WUS when needed. In this case, the UE needs to determine the triggering mechanism and resource location of the UL WUS.

[0381] The embodiments of the present application provide an information determination method, apparatus, terminal, and network device to solve the problem of network energy consumption.

[0382] Among them, the method and the device are based on the same application concept. Since the principles of solving problems by the method and the device are similar, the implementation of the device and the method can refer to each other, and the repeated parts will not be repeated.

[0383] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides an information determination method, which is applied to a terminal and specifically includes the following steps:

[0384] Step 101: A terminal receives first indication information sent by a network device, where the first indication information is used to indicate a state of the network device and / or resource configuration information of a first uplink signal;

[0385] Step 102: The terminal determines a state of a network device and / or a resource location of a first uplink signal according to the first indication information;

[0386] The first uplink signal is used to trigger the network device to send a first message, and the first message includes: a system information block SIB1 and / or a synchronization signal block SSB.

[0387] In this embodiment, the network device may send first indication information to the terminal, indicating the state of the network device and / or resource configuration information of the first uplink signal. The terminal may determine the state of the network device and / or the resource location of the first uplink signal based on the first indication information, and when triggering the first message, send a first uplink signal to the network device. The first uplink signal is used to trigger the network device to send SIB1 and / or SSB. The network device may be, for example, a gNB, which may also be understood as a cell.

[0388] For example: the terminal determines that the cell is in the first state according to the first indication information, and the network device does not send SIB1 and / or SSB in the first state. Then the terminal can determine whether a first uplink signal can be sent to instruct the network device to send SIB1 and / or SSB.

[0389] For example, the terminal determines the resource location of the first uplink signal according to the first indication information, and may send the first uplink signal when the first message needs to be triggered.

[0390] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal determines the status of the network device and / or the resource location of the first uplink signal based on the first indication information sent by the network device, and can send the first uplink signal to the network device when it is necessary to trigger the first message. Triggering the network device to send the first message through the first uplink signal will not affect the terminal's business, and the network device may not send the first message in the network energy-saving state to reduce network energy consumption.

[0391] As an optional embodiment, the method further includes: sending the first uplink signal according to the state of the network device and / or the resource location of the first uplink signal.

[0392] In this embodiment, the terminal may send the first uplink signal when necessary according to the state of the network device. For example, if the terminal determines that the current cell is in energy-saving state and SIB1 does not exist but is sent on demand, the terminal may trigger the network device to send SIB1 by sending the first uplink signal.

[0393] The terminal can determine that the current cell is in energy-saving state based on the following information:

[0394] For FR1: k SSB =30 to indicate that the cell is in energy-saving state;

[0395] For FR2: k SSB =14 to indicate that the cell is in energy-saving state;

[0396] The spare bit in the MIB is used to indicate that the cell is in energy-saving state.

[0397] Optionally, after determining the resource location of the first uplink signal, the terminal may send the first uplink signal at the resource location when necessary.

[0398] Optionally, the first uplink signal may be an uplink wake-up signal (UL WUS), and the UL WUS signal may be a multiplex of an existing signal, for example, the UL WUS signal may be a random access preamble.

[0399] Optionally, the method further includes: sending a first uplink signal when the network device is in a first state according to the state of the network device; the first uplink signal is used to trigger the network device to send a first message in the first state.

[0400] In this embodiment, the terminal may determine the state of the network device according to the first indication information, and when determining that the network device is in the first state, send a first uplink signal to the network device to trigger the network device to send a first message in the first state.

[0401] For example, if the terminal determines that the current cell is in energy-saving state and the cell does not send SIB1, if the terminal expects the cell to send SIB1, it may send a first uplink signal to the current cell to instruct the current cell to send SIB1.

[0402] Optionally, the status of the network device includes at least one of the following:

[0403] Network energy-saving status;

[0404] A state in which the network device does not send the first message;

[0405] The state of the network device sending the first message on demand;

[0406] The state where only SSB is sent but SIB1 is not sent;

[0407] The network device is in a state of sending a first message according to a first period.

[0408] Optionally, the first uplink signal is used to trigger the network device to send the first message according to a second period, and the second period is greater than the first period.

[0409] For example: the cell is in a state of sending SIB1 according to cycle 1, and the terminal triggers the network device to send SIB1 according to cycle 2 by sending a first uplink signal, and the cycle length of cycle 2 is greater than the cycle length of cycle 1; or, the cell is in a state of sending SSB according to cycle 3, and the terminal triggers the network device to send SSB according to cycle 4 by sending a first uplink signal, and the cycle length of cycle 4 is greater than the cycle length of cycle 3.

[0410] As an optional embodiment, the first indication information is a MIB message sent by the network device, and the target field in the MIB message is used to indicate the state of the network device and / or resource configuration information of the first uplink signal;

[0411] The target field includes at least one of the following:

[0412] 1) SSB subcarrier offset (ssb-SubcarrierOffset) field; for example, different values of the SSB subcarrier offset field are used to indicate the status of the network device and / or the resource configuration information of the first uplink signal.

[0413] 2) Redundant field; may also be called a spare field (spare bit), for example: different values of the spare field are used to indicate the status of the network device and / or the resource configuration information of the first uplink signal.

[0414] 3) Physical downlink control channel PDCCH SIB1 configuration (pdcch-ConfigSIB1) field; the PDCCH SIB1 configuration field can be reinterpreted to indicate the status of the network device and / or the resource configuration information of the first uplink signal, or the PDCCH SIB1 configuration field can indicate the status of the network device and / or the resource configuration information of the first uplink signal while indicating the existing meaning.

[0415] 4) Demodulation Reference Signal DMRS Type A Position (dmrs-TypeA-Position) field; for example, the dmrs-TypeA-Position field indicates the state of the network device and / or the resource configuration information of the first uplink signal.

[0416] 5) Subcarrier common spacing field;

[0417] 6) Intra-frequency reselection indication field.

[0418] In this embodiment, the first indication information is a MIB message, that is, the network device sends the MIB message to the terminal, and the terminal determines the state of the network device and / or the resource location of the first uplink signal according to the target field in the MIB message.

[0419] As an optional embodiment, the target field is used to indicate the state of the network device and / or resource configuration information of the first uplink signal, including at least one of the following:

[0420] (1) When the value of the SSB subcarrier offset field is a first value, the network device is in a first state;

[0421] Optionally, the first value includes at least one of the following:

[0422] For the first frequency range, the first value is 30;

[0423] For the second frequency range, the first value is 14.

[0424] For example, the first state is the energy-saving state. For FR1, when the SSB subcarrier offset indication k SSB =30, the current cell is considered to be in the network energy-saving state; for FR2, when the SSB subcarrier offset indication k SSB =14, the current cell is considered to be in the network energy-saving state.

[0425] (2) When the value of the redundancy field is a second value, the network device is in the first state; the second value is, for example, 1 or 0.

[0426] For example, one bit in the redundant field indicates the state of the network device. When the bit indicates 0, the cell is not in the network energy-saving state; when the bit indicates 1, the cell is in the network energy-saving state. Alternatively, when the bit indicates 1, the cell is not in the network energy-saving state; when the bit indicates 0, the cell is in the network energy-saving state.

[0427] (3) when the SSB subcarrier offset field is a first value, the physical downlink control channel PDCCH SIB1 configuration field is used to indicate the state of the network device and / or resource configuration information of the first uplink signal;

[0428] Optionally, the first value includes at least one of the following:

[0429] For the first frequency range, the first value is 30;

[0430] For the second frequency range, the first value is 14.

[0431] In this embodiment, the state of the network device and / or the resource configuration information of the first uplink signal may be indicated through the PDCCH SIB1 configuration field.

[0432] The state of the network device and / or the resource location of the first uplink signal can be determined by reinterpreting the PDCCH SIB1 configuration field. For example, for FR1, when the SSB subcarrier offset indication k SSB =30, it is considered that the PDCCH SIB1 configuration field no longer indicates the scheduling information of SIB1, but indicates the status of the network device and / or the resource configuration information of the first uplink signal. The terminal determines the cell status and / or the resource location of the first uplink signal based on the information of the PDCCH SIB1 configuration field.

[0433] For FR2, when the SSB subcarrier offset indicator k SSB =14, it is considered that the PDCCH SIB1 configuration field no longer indicates the scheduling information of SIB1, but indicates the status of the network device and / or the resource configuration information of the first uplink signal. The terminal determines the cell status and / or the resource location of the first uplink signal based on the information of the PDCCH SIB1 configuration field.

[0434] Optionally, the PDCCH SIB1 configuration field may simultaneously indicate SIB1 scheduling information, and indicate the state of the network device and / or resource configuration information of the first uplink signal, for example, by simultaneously indicating the above contents through field multiplexing.

[0435] (4) When the value of the redundancy field is the second value, the PDCCH SIB1 configuration field is used to indicate the state of the network device and / or resource configuration information of the first uplink signal.

[0436] In this embodiment, the second value is, for example, 0 or 1. The state of the network device and / or the resource configuration information of the first uplink signal may be indicated through the PDCCH SIB1 configuration field.

[0437] Among them, the status of the network device and / or the resource location of the first uplink signal can be determined by reinterpreting the PDCCH SIB1 configuration field. For example, when the value of the redundant field is 1, it is considered that the PDCCH SIB1 configuration field no longer indicates the scheduling information of SIB1, but indicates the status of the network device and / or the resource configuration information of the first uplink signal. The terminal determines the status of the network device and / or the resource location of the first uplink signal based on the information of the PDCCH SIB1 configuration field.

[0438] Or: when the value of the redundancy field is 0, it is considered that the PDCCH SIB1 configuration field no longer indicates the scheduling information of SIB1, but indicates the status of the network device and / or the resource configuration information of the first uplink signal. The terminal determines the network device status and / or the resource location of the first uplink signal based on the information of the PDCCHSIB1 configuration field.

[0439] Optionally, the PDCCH SIB1 configuration field may simultaneously indicate SIB1 scheduling information, and indicate the state of the network device and / or resource configuration information of the first uplink signal, for example, by simultaneously indicating the above contents through field multiplexing.

[0440] As an optional embodiment, the target field is also used to indicate scheduling information of SIB1.

[0441] In this embodiment, the target field may simultaneously indicate SIB1 scheduling information, as well as the state of the network device and / or resource configuration information of the first uplink signal. Optionally, the above information may be simultaneously indicated by multiplexing the target field. Here, the target field may indicate an index that simultaneously indicates the above information, or different fields in the target field may simultaneously indicate the above information.

[0442] Optionally, when the value of the SSB subcarrier offset field is a first value, and / or the value of the redundancy field is a second value, the PDCCH SIB1 configuration field is used to indicate the resource configuration information of the first uplink signal and the scheduling information of SIB1.

[0443] For example: For FR1, when the SSB subcarrier offset indicator k SSB =30, and / or when the value of the redundancy field is 0, the PDCCH SIB1 configuration field simultaneously indicates the resource configuration information of the first uplink signal and the scheduling information of SIB1.

[0444] For example, for FR2, when the SSB subcarrier offset indicator k SSB=14, and / or when the value of the redundancy field is 1, the PDCCH SIB1 configuration field simultaneously indicates the resource configuration information of the first uplink signal and the scheduling information of SIB1.

[0445] Optionally, the first field in the target field is used to indicate the state of the network device and / or resource configuration information of the first uplink signal, and the second field in the target field is used to indicate the resource location where the terminal expects to detect the first message and / or the resource location of feedback information of the first uplink signal after sending the first uplink signal;

[0446] or,

[0447] The first field in the target field is used to indicate the state of the network device or resource configuration information of the first uplink signal, and the second field in the target field is used to indicate scheduling information of SIB1.

[0448] In this embodiment, the target field may include at least two fields, one of which is used to indicate the status of the network device and / or the resource configuration information of the first uplink signal, and the other field is used to indicate other content, such as at least one of the following: the resource location where the terminal expects to detect the first message after sending the first uplink signal; the resource location of the feedback information of the first uplink signal; and the scheduling information of SIB1.

[0449] For example, the target field is the PDCCH SIB1 configuration field, which includes two fields, one of which is used to indicate resource configuration information of the first uplink signal, and the other is used to indicate the resource location where the terminal expects to detect the first message after sending the first uplink signal.

[0450] For another example, the target field is the PDCCH SIB1 configuration field. The PDCCH SIB1 configuration field includes two fields, one of which is used to indicate resource configuration information of the first uplink signal, and the other is used to indicate scheduling information of SIB1.

[0451] Optionally, when the target field is multiplexed to indicate multiple information at the same time, the association between the index of the target field and the multiple information indicated can be pre-specified, for example: the relationship between the index indicated by the PDCCH SIB1 configuration field and "the scheduling information of SIB1 and the resource configuration information of the first uplink signal" can be pre-specified, thereby realizing the simultaneous indication of the scheduling information of SIB1 and the resource configuration information of the first uplink signal through the PDCCH SIB1 configuration field.

[0452] As an optional embodiment, the target field indicates the resource configuration information of the first uplink signal in an indication manner including at least one of the following:

[0453] 1) The target field indicates the index of the resource configuration information of the first uplink signal; in this embodiment, the resource configuration information index of the first uplink signal can be indicated by the target field contained in the MIB. The correspondence between the resource configuration information index of the first uplink signal and the specific resource configuration information can be preconfigured or predefined. After determining the index, the corresponding configuration resource can be determined.

[0454] 2) The target field indicates the information content of the resource configuration information of the first uplink signal; in this embodiment, the target field contained in the MIB can directly indicate the specific resource configuration information of the first uplink signal, and the terminal can directly determine the resource location of the first uplink signal based on the target field.

[0455] 3) The target field indicates the configuration index of the physical random access channel PRACH, and the PRACH is the first uplink signal; in this embodiment, for the case where the first uplink signal is PRACH, the target field included in the MIB can indicate the PRACH configuration index, and the correspondence between the PRACH configuration index and the specific PRACH configuration resource can be pre-configured or pre-defined. After determining the PRACH configuration index, the corresponding PRACH configuration resource can be determined.

[0456] The PRACH configuration resource may be PRACH-related information content in the first uplink signal.

[0457] 4) The target field indicates the information content of the PRACH configuration information, and the PRACH is the first uplink signal. In this embodiment, the target field included in the MIB can directly indicate the specific information content of the PRACH configuration information, and the terminal can directly determine the PRACH resource based on the target field.

[0458] As an optional embodiment, the first indication information is an SSB sent by the network device, and the relevant information of the SSB is used to indicate the state of the network device and / or resource configuration information of the first uplink signal;

[0459] The SSB-related information includes at least one of the following:

[0460] 1) SSB period; for example, different SSB periods correspond to different network device states, for example, the first SSB period corresponds to the current cell being in a non-network energy-saving state, and the second SSB period corresponds to the current cell being in a network energy-saving state;

[0461] For another example: A SSB period is associated with one first uplink signal resource, that is, an SSB in one SSB period in A SSB periods is associated with one first uplink signal resource, A may be specified by the protocol, or A may be configured by the SSB; A is greater than or equal to 1.

[0462] 2) SSB resource location; for example: different SSB resource locations correspond to different network device states.

[0463] 3) The time domain resource offset of SSB; the time domain resource offset may be agreed upon by the protocol, or the time domain resource offset may be related to the transmission period of SSB and / or the pattern of SSB and / or the resource position of SSB in the transmission period.

[0464] 4) Frequency domain resource offset of SSB. The frequency domain resource offset may be agreed upon by the protocol, or the frequency domain resource offset may be related to the transmission period of the SSB and / or the pattern of the SSB and / or the resource position of the SSB in the transmission period.

[0465] In this embodiment, the terminal can determine the state of the network device and / or the resource location of the first uplink signal based on the relevant information of the SSB. Optionally, a correspondence between the relevant information of the SSB and the state of the network device and / or the resource configuration information of the first uplink signal can be pre-set.

[0466] The terminal can determine the status of the network device and / or the resource location of the first uplink signal based on a combination of one or more of the above information, for example: determination based on the period of SSB and the resource location of SSB, determination based on the period of SSB and the frequency domain resource offset of SSB, determination based on the resource location of SSB and the frequency domain resource offset of SSB, determination based on the period of SSB, the resource location of SSB and the time domain resource offset of SSB, etc., which are not listed here one by one.

[0467] As an optional embodiment, the first indication information is the paging scheduling information sent by the network device, and the paging scheduling information is used to indicate the state of the network device and / or the resource configuration information of the first uplink signal. The paging scheduling information is such as paging downlink control information (Paging Downlink Control Information, Paging DCI)

[0468] In this embodiment, the terminal determines the state of the network device and / or the resource location of the first uplink signal based on the paging scheduling information sent by the network device. Optionally, the paging scheduling information may carry an index or specific information content of the state of the network device and / or the resource location of the first uplink signal.

[0469] As an optional embodiment, the resource configuration information of the first uplink signal includes at least one of the following:

[0470] 1) Index of the first uplink signal; for example, if the first uplink signal is a UL WUS signal, the first indication information may indicate a UL WUS signal index, where the index of the first uplink signal may be an index of a sequence of the first uplink signal.

[0471] 2) The resource period of the first uplink signal; for example, if the first uplink signal is a UL WUS signal, the first indication information may indicate the resource period of the UL WUS signal.

[0472] 3) A resource location of the transmission opportunity of the first uplink signal in a period; the resource location may include one or more of a frame number, a subframe number, a starting symbol, and a number of time slots. For example, if the first uplink signal is a UL WUS signal, the first indication information may indicate one or more of the following: a UL WUS frame, a UL WUS subframe number, a starting symbol, and a number of UL WUS slots in a UL WUS subframe.

[0473] 4) Used to request the preamble index of the first message; for example: used to request the preamble index of SIB1.

[0474] 5)PRACH configuration period;

[0475] 6) The number of SSBs associated with a random access opportunity RO;

[0476] 7) The number of consecutive preamble codes corresponding to each SSB;

[0477] 8) PRACH time domain configuration information; The PRACH time domain configuration information is used to determine the PRACH resources within the PRACH configuration period, for example, one or more items such as a PRACH frame, a PRACH subframe number, a start symbol, and the number of PRACH slots in a PRACH subframe.

[0478] 9) The number of ROs contained in the PRACH slot;

[0479] 10) Duration of RO.

[0480] As an optional embodiment, when sending the first uplink signal, the method further includes:

[0481] receiving first scheduling information of the first message sent by the network device;

[0482] A first message sent by the network device is received according to the first scheduling information.

[0483] For example, the first indication information may be an MIB message, which carries resource configuration information for triggering the first uplink signal of SIB1 (on-demand SIB1) sent on demand. However, the MIB message does not carry SIB1 scheduling information (PDCCH information). Therefore, after receiving the first uplink signal sent by the terminal, the network device sends the SIB1 scheduling information to the terminal. The terminal may receive SIB1 based on the SIB1 scheduling information.

[0484] As an optional embodiment, determining the state of the network device and / or determining the resource location of the first uplink signal according to the first indication information includes:

[0485] Determining, according to the resource location of the SSB, a resource location of second scheduling information for carrying resource configuration information of the first uplink signal;

[0486] receiving, at a resource location of the second scheduling information, the second scheduling information sent by the network device;

[0487] The state of the network device is determined according to the second scheduling information, and / or the resource location of the first uplink signal is determined.

[0488] In this embodiment, the first indication information may be an SSB sent by the network device. After the network device sends the SSB, the terminal may determine the resource location of the second scheduling information used to carry the resource configuration information of the first uplink signal based on the resource location of the SSB. The terminal receives the second scheduling information based on the resource location of the second scheduling information, and may determine the resource location of the first uplink signal based on the content in the second scheduling information.

[0489] For example, the first indication information may be a MIB message, which does not carry resource configuration information for the first uplink signal used to trigger on-demand SIB1 transmission. After the gNB transmits the SSB, the UE determines the resource location of the PDCCH carrying the UL WUS configuration information based on the SSB resource location. The UE then determines the UL WUS resource location based on the indication in the received PDCCH.

[0490] As an optional embodiment, when sending the first uplink signal, the method further includes at least one of the following:

[0491] (1) detecting a first message sent by the network device within a first time period after sending the first uplink signal;

[0492] In this embodiment, the terminal may expect to receive the first message sent by the network device within a first time period after sending the first uplink signal, so the terminal performs detection within the first time period after sending the first uplink signal.

[0493] For example, the UE may expect to receive the SIB1 sent by the energy-saving cell within the first time period after the UE sends the UL WUS. For example, if the UE sends a UL WUS to the energy-saving cell and the UE believes that the energy-saving cell will send the SIB1 within the first time period after the UE sends the UL WUS, the UE performs detection within the first time period after sending the UL WUS.

[0494] The start time of the first time period may be determined based on the sending location and / or receiving location of the first uplink signal. The first time period may be agreed upon by a protocol, or indicated by an energy-saving cell or a non-energy-saving cell, where the non-energy-saving cell may indicate the time period through a SIB message.

[0495] (2) if the first message sent by the network device is not detected within a second time period after sending the first uplink signal, not sending the first uplink signal within a third time period;

[0496] In this embodiment, after sending the first uplink signal to the network device, the terminal may detect the first message within a second time period. If the first message is not detected, the terminal may no longer send the first uplink signal to trigger the first message within a third time period. The second time period may be the same as or different from the first time period. The second time period may be agreed upon by a protocol or indicated by a network device, such as through an MIB message. The length of the third time period may be greater than the length of the second time period.

[0497] For example, if the UE fails to detect the SIB1 sent by the energy-saving cell within the second time period (as agreed upon by the protocol, indicated by the MIB, etc.), the UE will no longer send the UL WUS triggering on-demand SIB1 within a relatively long third time period. Here, the third time period may be agreed upon by the protocol, or indicated by the energy-saving cell or the non-energy-saving cell. The indication by the non-energy-saving cell may be indicated via a SIB message. The third time period may be a time period after the second time period, and the start time of the third time period may be determined based on the end time of the second time period.

[0498] (3) not sending the first uplink signal within a fourth time period after sending the first uplink signal;

[0499] In this embodiment, after the terminal sends the first uplink signal to the network device, it may no longer send the first uplink signal within a fourth time period. The fourth time period may be the same as or different from the first time period. The fourth time period may be agreed upon by a protocol, or may be indicated by an energy-saving cell or a non-energy-saving cell. The non-energy-saving cell may indicate this through an SIB message.

[0500] (4) Sending the first uplink signal in N uplink signal resources after a fifth time period, where the fifth time period is a time period after sending the first uplink signal, and N is greater than or equal to 1.

[0501] In this embodiment, after sending the first uplink signal to the network device, the terminal may send the first uplink signal again after the fifth time period after sending the first uplink signal. Specifically, the terminal sends the first uplink signal to trigger the first message using N uplink signal resources (e.g., the first resource or the first N resources) after the fifth time period. N may be configured for an energy-saving cell or a non-energy-saving cell.

[0502] (5) If the first message sent by the network device is not detected within a sixth time period after sending the first uplink signal, sending the first uplink signal in M uplink signal resources after a seventh time period, where the seventh time period is a time period after the sixth time period, and M is greater than or equal to 1;

[0503] In this embodiment, after sending the first uplink signal to the network device, the terminal may detect the first message within a sixth time period. If the first message is not detected, the terminal may send the first uplink signal again after the seventh time period following the sixth time period. Specifically, the terminal sends the first uplink signal to trigger the first message in M uplink signal resources (such as the first resource or the first M resources) after the seventh time period. M can be configured for an energy-saving cell or a non-energy-saving cell. The sixth time period may be the same as or different from the first time period.

[0504] For example: If the UE fails to detect the SIB1 sent by the energy-saving cell within the sixth time period (protocol agreement, MIB indication, etc.), the UE sends UL WUS on the first or first M UL WUS resources after the sixth time period to trigger on-demand SIB1; here, M can be an integer greater than or equal to 1, and M can be configured for the energy-saving cell or the non-energy-saving cell.

[0505] (6) detecting a first message sent by the network device at a first resource location, where the first resource location is configured by the network device;

[0506] In this embodiment, the terminal expects the network device to send the first message at the first resource location after the first uplink signal. The terminal can detect the first message at the first resource location after sending the first uplink signal. For example, the UE expects the network device to send SIB1 at the first resource location after the UL WUS, and the first resource location is configured for an energy-saving cell or a non-energy-saving cell.

[0507] For example: the UE expects the network device to send SIB1 at the first resource position after the UL WUS, and the first resource position is configured for the energy-saving cell or the non-energy-saving cell.

[0508] (7) detecting feedback information sent by the network device;

[0509] In this embodiment, after sending the first uplink signal, the terminal expects to receive feedback information (energy-saving message or non-energy-saving message) sent by the network device.

[0510] Optionally, the feedback information includes at least one of the following:

[0511] a) confirmation information corresponding to the first uplink signal;

[0512] In this embodiment, the network device can feedback confirmation information corresponding to the first uplink signal, which indicates that the network device has received the first uplink signal sent by the UE, and / or, the confirmation information indicates that the network device has received the first uplink signal sent by the UE and the energy-saving cell is to send a first message (such as SIB1).

[0513] For example: the gNB feeds back confirmation information corresponding to the UL WUS, which indicates that the gNB has received the UL WUS sent by the UE, or the confirmation information indicates that the gNB has received the UL WUS sent by the UE and the energy-saving cell is about to send SIB1.

[0514] b) rejection information corresponding to the first uplink signal;

[0515] In this embodiment, the network device may feed back rejection information corresponding to the first uplink signal. The rejection information may indicate that the network device receives the first uplink signal sent by the UE but the energy-saving cell does not send the first message (eg, SIB1).

[0516] For example, the gNB feeds back rejection information corresponding to the UL WUS, which indicates that the gNB receives the UL WUS sent by the UE but the energy-saving cell does not send SIB1.

[0517] c) the first message;

[0518] In this embodiment, after the terminal sends the first uplink signal, the network device may send a first message. For example, if the energy-saving cell sends SIB1, after the gNB receives the UL WUS sent by the UE, the gNB may instruct the energy-saving cell to send SIB1. In this case, the gNB may not send an explicit confirmation message to the UL WUS.

[0519] d) scheduling information of the first message;

[0520] For example, after the terminal sends an UL WUS, the gNB feeds back the SIB1 scheduling information of the energy-saving cell awakened by the UL WUS.

[0521] f) information on available or valid first uplink signal resources;

[0522] In this embodiment, after the terminal sends the first uplink signal, the network device may send information about available or valid first uplink signal resources, so that the terminal can determine which resources can still be used to send the first uplink signal. The information about available or valid first uplink signal resources may include, for example, resources, windows, sequences, etc.

[0523] For example, the gNB provides feedback on available / valid UL-WUS resources / windows / sequences, allowing the UE to know which resources can still be used to send UL WUS. When the gNB provides a NACK for the UL-WUS or the UE does not receive an ACK for the UL-WUS, the UE can determine how to send the UL WUS.

[0524] g) information about unavailable or failed first uplink signal resources;

[0525] In this embodiment, after the terminal sends the first uplink signal, the network device may send information about unavailable or invalid first uplink signal resources, so that the terminal can determine which resources can be used to send the first uplink signal.

[0526] h) duration of time during which the network device does not send the first message;

[0527] In this embodiment, after the terminal sends the first uplink signal, the network device may feedback the duration of not sending the first message, for example: the gNB feedbacks the duration of not sending SIB1 in the energy-saving cell, and the UE does not need to send the UL WUS request SIB1 again within this duration.

[0528] i) Information on candidate resident cells; also known as candidate access cells.

[0529] For example, the gNB feeds back the candidate camping cell / candidate access cell for the UE. The current energy-saving cell may not want to send SIB1, and is therefore not suitable for the UE to camp on or access. The gNB can indicate the candidate camping / access cell to the UE. The candidate camping / access cell can be the UE's next first-priority camping / access cell, and the UE will camp on / access the cell according to the gNB's instructions.

[0530] j) Conditions or criteria for cell selection: After the terminal sends the first uplink signal, the network device may feed back parameters of the conditions or criteria for cell selection, so that the terminal can perform cell selection based on the conditions or parameters.

[0531] k) Conditions or criteria for cell reselection; after the terminal sends the first uplink signal, the network device may feed back parameters of the conditions or criteria for cell reselection, so that the terminal can perform cell reselection based on the conditions or parameters.

[0532] (8) upon detecting the first feedback information sent by the network device, accessing the candidate camping cell;

[0533] In this embodiment, the first feedback information is, for example, NACK information. One energy-saving cell may correspond to one candidate resident cell group. When the terminal receives a NACK for the first uplink signal fed back by the network device, it performs SSB measurement on the candidate resident cells, and preferentially resides in cells in the candidate resident cell group.

[0534] The candidate camping cell group to which the energy-saving cell may correspond may be agreed upon by a protocol, or may be pre-configured by the energy-saving cell or the non-energy-saving cell.

[0535] (9) When the second feedback information sent by the network device is not detected, access the candidate camping cell.

[0536] In this embodiment, the second feedback information is, for example, ACK information. When the terminal does not receive the ACK for the first uplink signal fed back by the network device, it performs SSB measurement on the candidate resident cells, and preferentially resides in cells in the candidate resident cell group.

[0537] It should be noted that the resource configuration of the feedback information of the first uplink signal can be configured by an energy-saving cell or a non-energy-saving cell. The first uplink signal can be a preamble in a random access process, and the feedback information can be carried in a random access response (Random Access Response, RAR) in the random access process sent by the network device to the terminal.

[0538] The following example illustrates a process in which the terminal determines the state of the network device and / or the resource location of the first uplink signal according to the first indication information sent by the network device.

[0539] Example 1: Taking the first indication information as an MIB message sent by a network device, the network device is a gNB, and the first uplink signal is a UL WUS as an example, the method includes:

[0540] Step 11: The UE receives first indication information sent by a network device, where the first indication information is used to indicate a state of the network device and / or resource configuration information of a first uplink signal, where the first uplink signal is used to trigger the network device to send a first message;

[0541] The first indication information may be an MIB message, and the target field included in the MIB message may be used to indicate the state of the network device and / or resource configuration information of the first uplink signal. The state of the network device may include, for example, a network energy-saving state, a state in which the first message is not sent, a state in which the first message is sent on demand, a state in which only SSB is sent without sending SIB1, a state in which SIB1 is sent according to cycle 1, etc.

[0542] The first uplink signal may be a UL WUS signal, which may be a reused existing signal. For example, the UL WUS signal may be a random access preamble. The first message may be SIB1. Specifically, the gNB transmits a first indication information (MIB) to indicate the current cell status and / or UL WUS resource configuration information to the UE via fields in the MIB. The UL WUS is a signal used to trigger the gNB to transmit SIB1.

[0543] When a UE receives the MIB from the gNB and determines, based on the target field in the MIB, that the cell is in a network energy-saving state and / or determines the resources corresponding to the UL WUS, the UE may, if necessary, send an UL WUS and expect the gNB to send SIB1. Optionally, the gNB is responsible for determining whether to send SIB1 after receiving the UL WUS from the UE.

[0544] The target field in the MIB indicates the status of the UE's current cell. The cell status can be a network energy saving state, a state where SIB1 is not sent, a state where SIB1 is sent on demand, a state where only SSB is sent without SIB1, or a state where SIB1 is sent according to the first cycle.

[0545] Specifically, the target field in the MIB indicates the status of the cell, for example:

[0546] The SSB subcarrier offset (ssb-SubcarrierOffset) in the MIB indicates the status of the current cell. For example, for FR1, when the SSB subcarrier offset indicates k SSB =30, the current cell is considered to be in the network energy-saving state; for FR2, when the SSB subcarrier offset indication kSSB =14, the current cell is considered to be in the network energy-saving state;

[0547] The 1-bit redundant field (spare) in the MIB indicates whether the current cell status is a network energy-saving state, etc. For example, when the 1 bit indicates 0, the cell is a cell in a non-network energy-saving state; when the 1 bit indicates 1, the cell is a cell in a network energy-saving state.

[0548] Specifically, the target field in the MIB indicates resource configuration information of the first uplink signal, the first uplink signal may be a UL WUS signal, and the UL WUS signal may be a preamble, for example:

[0549] The PDCCH SIB1 configuration (pdcch-ConfigSIB1) in the MIB indicates the resource configuration information of UL WUS. When the current cell is in the network energy saving state, this field can be reinterpreted as the resource location of UL WUS. For example: for FR1, when the SSB subcarrier offset indicates k SSB =30, the PDCCH SIB1 configuration field no longer indicates the scheduling information of SIB1, and the field can be reinterpreted as the resource configuration of UL WUS; for FR2, when the SSB subcarrier offset indication k SSB =14, the PDCCH SIB1 configuration field is considered to no longer indicate SIB1 scheduling information, and the field can be reinterpreted as UL WUS resource configuration;

[0550] A 1-bit redundant field in the MIB may indicate the resource configuration information of the UL WUS;

[0551] The Dmrs-TypeA position (dmrs-TypeA-Position) in the MIB can indicate the resource configuration information of the UL WUS.

[0552] Optionally, the UL WUS resource configuration information includes at least one of the following:

[0553] UL WUS signal index;

[0554] The cycle of UL WUS resources;

[0555] The resource location of the UL WUS transmission opportunity in the period, for example: UL WUS frame, UL WUS subframe number, start symbol, number of UL WUS slots in the UL WUS subframe;

[0556] Index of the preamble used to request SIB1;

[0557] PRACH configuration period;

[0558] X: the number of SSBs associated with a random access opportunity RO;

[0559] Y: the number of consecutive preambles corresponding to each SSB;

[0560] PRACH time domain configuration information: used to determine the PRACH resources within the PRACH configuration period, such as the PRACH frame, PRACH subframe number, start symbol, and the number of PRACH slots in the PRACH subframe;

[0561] The number of ROs in the PRACH slot;

[0562] Duration of RO;

[0563] UL WUS configuration index; the protocol may specify a correspondence between a UL WUS configuration index and a UL WUS configuration resource. After determining the UL WUS configuration index, the terminal may determine the UL WUS configuration resource based on the correspondence;

[0564] PRACH configuration index; the protocol may specify the correspondence between the PRACH configuration index and the PRACH configuration resource. After determining the PRACH configuration index, the terminal may determine the PRACH configuration resource based on the correspondence.

[0565] Step 12: The UE determines the state of the network device and / or the resource location of the first uplink signal according to the first indication information.

[0566] Optionally, the UE may determine that the network device is in the first state according to the first indication information.

[0567] The UE can determine the status of the current cell and / or the resource location of the first uplink signal UL WUS based on the indications of one or more fields such as the SSB subcarrier offset (ssb-SubcarrierOffset), redundant field (spare), PDCCH SIB1 configuration (pdcch-ConfigSIB1), and Dmrs-TypeA position (dmrs-TypeA-Position) in the MIB.

[0568] Step 13: The UE sends the first uplink signal according to the state of the network device and / or the resource location of the first uplink signal;

[0569] It should be noted that this step is an optional execution step, and the UE can send the first uplink signal when it needs to trigger the first message.

[0570] The UE determines that the current cell is in energy saving state (such as according to k SSB >23 for FR1 and kSSB =30, or k SSB >11 for FR2 and k SSB =14, or the indication of the spare bit in the MIB), the UE determines that SIB1 does not exist but sends it on demand, and pdcch-ConfigSIB1 indicates the resource configuration information for sending UL WUS. The UE can send UL WUS when needed.

[0571] In this embodiment, the k bits in the MIB or the SSB subcarrier offset are used. SSB = 30 states (for FR1) or k SSB =14 state (for FR2) to indicate that the cell is in energy saving state or on-demand SIB1 state or SIB1 non-transmitting state;

[0572] When a cell is in energy-saving mode, on-demand SIB1 mode, or SIB1 non-transmission mode, the PDCCH SIB1 configuration field carried in the MIB can be used to jointly indicate SIB1 scheduling information and UL WUS resource configuration indication information. Alternatively, the PDCCH SIB1 configuration field can be reinterpreted as UL WUS resource configuration indication information. Based on the indication in the MIB field, the UE can send UL WUS when needed to save uplink resources. This also allows the gNB to not send SIB1 in the network energy-saving mode to reduce network energy consumption.

[0573] Example 2: Taking the first indication information as an MIB message sent by a network device, the network device is a gNB, and the first uplink signal is a UL WUS as an example, the method includes:

[0574] Step 21: The UE receives first indication information sent by a network device, where the first indication information is used to indicate a state of the network device and / or resource configuration information of a first uplink signal, and the first uplink signal is used to trigger the network device to send a first message.

[0575] The first indication information may be an MIB message, the first uplink signal may be a UL WUS signal, and the first message may be SIB1.

[0576] The target field in the MIB indicates resource configuration information of the first uplink signal. The first uplink signal may be a UL WUS signal, and the UL WUS signal may be a preamble. For example:

[0577] The PDCCH SIB1 configuration (pdcch-ConfigSIB1) in the MIB indicates the scheduling information of SIB1 and the resource configuration information of UL WUS. When the current cell is in the network energy saving state, the PDCCH SIB1 configuration can simultaneously indicate the index corresponding to the SIB1 scheduling information and the UL WUS resource configuration information. The protocol can specify the correspondence between the index and "SIB1 scheduling information and UL WUS resource configuration";

[0578] Some bits of the PDCCH SIB1 configuration (pdcch-ConfigSIB1) in the MIB indicate SIB1 scheduling information, and the remaining bits indicate UL WUS resource configuration information;

[0579] The PDCCH SIB1 configuration (pdcch-ConfigSIB1) and other fields in the MIB jointly indicate the scheduling information of SIB1 and the resource configuration information of UL WUS. Other fields include: a 1-bit redundant field in the MIB, a Dmrs-TypeA position (dmrs-TypeA-Position) field in the MIB, and one or more thereof. The joint indication can be understood as: after receiving the MIB, the UE determines the scheduling information of SIB1 and the resource configuration information of UL WUS through the status or index indicated by all bits of the PDCCH SIB1 configuration (pdcch-ConfigSIB1) and other fields.

[0580] The information content of the UL WUS resource configuration information is not detailed here.

[0581] Step 22: The UE determines the resource location of the first uplink signal according to the first indication information.

[0582] Step 23: The UE sends the first uplink signal according to the resource location of the first uplink signal.

[0583] It should be noted that this step is an optional execution step, and the UE can send the first uplink signal when it needs to trigger the first message.

[0584] Example 3: Taking the first indication information as an SSB sent by a network device, the network device is a gNB, and the first uplink signal is a UL WUS as an example, the method includes:

[0585] Step 31: The UE receives first indication information sent by a network device, where the first indication information is used to indicate a state of the network device and / or resource configuration information of a first uplink signal, and the first uplink signal is used to trigger the network device to send a first message.

[0586] The first indication information may be an SSB, and the state of the network device and / or the resource configuration information of the UL WUS is determined through the SSB.

[0587] Specifically, the status of the network device is indicated via SSB, for example:

[0588] Different SSB cycles correspond to different cell states. For example, the first SSB cycle corresponds to the current cell being in a non-network energy-saving state, and the second SSB cycle corresponds to the current cell being in a network energy-saving state.

[0589] Different SSB resource positions in the SSB cycle correspond to different cell states.

[0590] Specifically, the SSB indicates resource configuration information of the first uplink signal, for example:

[0591] Determine the resource configuration of the UL WUS based on the resource position of the SSB and the time domain resource offset (or frequency domain resource offset). The time domain resource offset / frequency domain resource offset may be agreed upon by the protocol, or the time domain resource offset / frequency domain resource offset may be related to the transmission period of the SSB (and / or the pattern of the SSB and / or the resource position of the SSB in the transmission period), etc.

[0592] A period of N SSBs is associated with one UL WUS resource, that is, an SSB in one SSB period in a period of N SSBs is associated with one UL WUS resource. N may be specified by the protocol or configured by the SSB; N is greater than or equal to 1.

[0593] The specific content of the UL WUS resource configuration information is not detailed here.

[0594] Step 32: The UE determines the state of the network device and / or the resource location of the first uplink signal according to the first indication information;

[0595] Step 33: The UE sends the first uplink signal according to the state of the network device and / or the resource location of the first uplink signal. This step is an optional execution step. The UE can send the first uplink signal when it needs to trigger the first message.

[0596] In this embodiment, the SSB information is used to indicate the network device status and / or UL WUS resource configuration indication information. Based on the SSB information, the UE can send UL WUS when needed to conserve uplink resources. This also allows the gNB to avoid sending SIB1 in the network energy-saving state, reducing network energy consumption.

[0597] Example 4: Taking the first indication information as an MIB message sent by a network device, the network device is a gNB, the first uplink signal is a UL WUS, and the first message is SIB1 as an example, in this embodiment, it is assumed that the MIB does not carry scheduling information (i.e., PDCCH) of SIB1, including:

[0598] Step 41: The UE receives first indication information sent by a network device, where the first indication information is used to indicate a state of the network device and / or resource configuration of a first uplink signal, and the first uplink signal is used to trigger the network device to send a first message;

[0599] The first indication information may be an MIB, the first uplink signal may be a UL WUS signal, and the first message may be SIB1.

[0600] The MIB carries the UL WUS resource configuration information for requesting on-demand SIB1. The MIB does not carry the PDCCH information for SIB1. After the gNB receives the UL WUS from the UE, it sends the PDCCH information for SIB1 to the UE.

[0601] Step 42: The UE determines the state of the network device and / or the resource location of the first uplink signal according to the first indication information;

[0602] Step 43: The UE sends the first uplink signal according to the state of the network device and / or the resource location of the first uplink signal. This step is an optional step.

[0603] After the UE sends the UL WUS triggering on-demand SIB1, the UE determines a new PDCCH resource location. The PDCCH includes the scheduling information of SIB1, such as Type0-PDCCH CSS, CORESET 0 and other information.

[0604] The resource locations of the new PDCCHs can be preconfigured. For example, the resource locations of the PDCCHs carrying SIB1 scheduling information are determined based on the resource locations of the SSBs. Upon receiving the UL WUS, the gNB transmits new PDCCHs at these preconfigured PDCCH resource locations, indicating Type 0 PDCCH CSS and CORESET 0 information. Optionally, the PDCCHs may also include cell reselection criteria.

[0605] Example 5: Taking the case where the first indication information is a MIB message sent by a network device, the network device is a gNB, the first uplink signal is a UL WUS, and the first message is SIB1 as an example, in this embodiment, it is assumed that the MIB does not carry UL WUS resource configuration information for requesting on-demand SIB1. The terminal needs to determine the resource location of the scheduling information (PDCCH or physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH)) used to carry the UL WUS resource configuration information based on the resource location of the SSB, receive the scheduling information at this resource location, and determine the resource location of the UL WUS based on the content in the scheduling information. Specifically, it includes:

[0606] Step 51: The UE receives first indication information sent by a network device, where the first indication information is used to indicate a state of the network device and / or resource configuration of a first uplink signal, and the first uplink signal is used to trigger the network device to send a first message;

[0607] The first indication information may be an SSB, which indicates a PDCCH or a PDSCH through the SSB. The PDCCH or the PDSCH is used to determine the state of the network device and / or the resource configuration information of the UL WUS.

[0608] The MIB does not carry the UL WUS resource configuration information used to request the on-demand SIB1. After the gNB sends the SSB, the UE determines the resource location of the PDCCH / PDSCH carrying the UL WUS configuration information based on the resource location of the SSB. The UE receives the PDCCH / PDSCH at this resource location and determines the UL WUS resource location based on the content indicated by the PDCCH / PDSCH.

[0609] Specifically, determining the resource location of the PDCCH / PDSCH carrying the configuration information of the UL WUS according to the resource location of the SSB includes:

[0610] The resource location of the PDCCH / PDSCH is determined based on the resource location of the SSB and the time domain resource offset (or frequency domain resource offset). The time domain resource offset or the frequency domain resource offset may be agreed upon by the protocol; or, the time domain resource offset or the frequency domain resource offset may be related to the transmission period of the SSB / the pattern of the SSB / the resource location of the SSB in the transmission period, etc.

[0611] Alternatively, a period of N SSBs is associated with a resource position of 1 PDCCH / PDSCH, that is, an SSB in a period of N SSBs is associated with a resource position of 1 PDCCH / PDSCH, where N may be specified by the protocol, or N is configured by the SSB; N is greater than or equal to 1.

[0612] Step 52: The UE determines the state of the network device and / or the resource location of the first uplink signal according to the first indication information;

[0613] Step 53: The UE sends the first uplink signal according to the state of the network device and / or the resource location of the first uplink signal; this step is an optional execution step.

[0614] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal determines the status of the network device and / or the resource location of the first uplink signal based on the first indication information sent by the network device, and can send the first uplink signal to the network device when it is necessary to trigger the first message. Triggering the network device to send the first message through the first uplink signal will not affect the terminal's business, and the network device may not send the first message in the network energy-saving state to reduce network energy consumption.

[0615] like Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present application also provides an information determination method, which is applied to a network device, including:

[0616] Step 201: A network device sends first indication information to a terminal, where the first indication information is used to indicate a state of the network device and / or resource configuration information of a first uplink signal;

[0617] The first uplink signal is used to trigger the network device to send a first message, and the first message includes: SIB1 and / or SSB.

[0618] In this embodiment, a network device sends first indication information to a terminal, indicating the state of the network device and / or resource configuration information for a first uplink signal. The terminal can determine the state of the network device and / or the resource location of the first uplink signal based on the first indication information, and when triggering a first message, send a first uplink signal to the network device. The first uplink signal is used to trigger the network device to send SIB1 and / or SSB. The network device is, for example, a gNB.

[0619] For example, the terminal determines that the cell is in the first state according to the first indication information, and the network device does not send SIB1 and / or SSB in the first state. The terminal can then determine whether to send the first uplink signal and when to send the first uplink signal.

[0620] For example, the terminal determines the resource location of the first uplink signal based on the first indication information, and can send the first uplink signal when the first message needs to be triggered. The network device is, for example, a gNB, and the network device can also be understood as a cell.

[0621] In an embodiment of the present application, a network device sends a first indication message to a terminal, and the first terminal determines the status of the network device and / or the resource location of the first uplink signal based on the first indication message. The terminal can send the first uplink signal to the network device when needed. Triggering the network device to send the first message through the first uplink signal will not affect the terminal's business, and the network device can not send the first message in the network energy-saving state to reduce network energy consumption.

[0622] Optionally, the method further includes: receiving a first uplink signal sent by the terminal.

[0623] In this embodiment, the terminal may send the first uplink signal when necessary according to the state of the network device. For example, if the terminal determines that the current cell is in energy-saving state and SIB1 does not exist but is sent on demand, the terminal may trigger the network device to send SIB1 by sending the first uplink signal.

[0624] Optionally, the first uplink signal may be an uplink wake-up signal (UL WUS), and the UL WUS signal may be a multiplex of an existing signal, for example, the UL WUS signal may be a random access preamble.

[0625] Optionally, the first uplink signal is used to trigger the network device to send a first message in a first state.

[0626] Optionally, the status of the network device includes at least one of the following:

[0627] Network energy-saving status;

[0628] A state in which the network device does not send the first message;

[0629] The state of the network device sending the first message on demand;

[0630] The state where only SSB is sent but SIB1 is not sent;

[0631] The network device is in a state of sending a first message according to a first period.

[0632] Optionally, the first uplink signal is used to trigger the network device to send the first message according to a second period, and the second period is greater than the first period.

[0633] For example: the cell is in a state of sending SIB1 according to cycle 1, and the terminal triggers the network device to send SIB1 according to cycle 2 by sending a first uplink signal, and the cycle length of cycle 2 is greater than the cycle length of cycle 1; or, the cell is in a state of sending SSB according to cycle 3, and the terminal triggers the network device to send SSB according to cycle 4 by sending a first uplink signal, and the cycle length of cycle 4 is greater than the cycle length of cycle 3.

[0634] As an optional embodiment, the first indication information is a MIB message, and the target field in the MIB message is used to indicate the state of the network device and / or resource configuration information of the first uplink signal;

[0635] The target field includes at least one of the following:

[0636] SSB subcarrier offset field;

[0637] Redundant fields;

[0638] Physical downlink control channel PDCCH SIB1 configuration field;

[0639] Demodulation Reference Signal DMRS Type A Position field;

[0640] Subcarrier common spacing field;

[0641] Intra-frequency reselection indication field.

[0642] In this embodiment, the first indication information is a MIB message, that is, the network device sends the MIB message to the terminal, and the terminal determines the state of the network device and / or the resource location of the first uplink signal according to the target field in the MIB message.

[0643] As an optional embodiment, the target field is used to indicate the state of the network device and / or resource configuration information of the first uplink signal, including at least one of the following:

[0644] (1) When the value of the SSB subcarrier offset field is a first value, the network device is in a first state;

[0645] Optionally, the first value includes at least one of the following:

[0646] For the first frequency range, the first value is 30;

[0647] For the second frequency range, the first value is 14.

[0648] For example: For FR1, when the SSB subcarrier offset indicator k SSB =30, the current cell is considered to be in the network energy-saving state; for FR2, when the SSB subcarrier offset indication k SSB =14, the current cell is considered to be in the network energy-saving state.

[0649] (2) when the value of the redundancy field is the second value, the network device is in the first state;

[0650] The second value is, for example, 1 or 0.

[0651] For example, one bit in the redundant field indicates the state of the network device. When the bit indicates 0, the cell is not in the network energy-saving state; when the bit indicates 1, the cell is in the network energy-saving state.

[0652] (3) When the value of the SSB subcarrier offset field is the second value, the PDCCH SIB1 configuration field is used to indicate the state of the network device and / or resource configuration information of the first uplink signal;

[0653] In this embodiment, the state of the network device and / or the resource configuration information of the first uplink signal may be indicated through the PDCCH SIB1 configuration field.

[0654] Optionally, the state of the network device and / or the resource location of the first uplink signal may be determined by reinterpreting the PDCCH SIB1 configuration field.

[0655] Optionally, the PDCCH SIB1 configuration field may simultaneously indicate SIB1 scheduling information, and indicate the state of the network device and / or resource configuration information of the first uplink signal, for example, by simultaneously indicating the above information through field multiplexing.

[0656] (4) When the value of the redundancy field is the second value, the PDCCH SIB1 configuration field is used to indicate the state of the network device and / or resource configuration information of the first uplink signal.

[0657] In this embodiment, the second value is, for example, 0 or 1. Optionally, the state of the network device and / or the resource configuration information of the first uplink signal may be indicated through the PDCCH SIB1 configuration field.

[0658] Optionally, the PDCCH SIB1 configuration field may simultaneously indicate SIB1 scheduling information, and indicate the state of the network device and / or resource configuration information of the first uplink signal, for example, by simultaneously indicating the above contents through field multiplexing.

[0659] As an optional embodiment, the target field is also used to indicate scheduling information of SIB1.

[0660] In this embodiment, the target field may simultaneously indicate SIB1 scheduling information, as well as the state of the network device and / or resource configuration information of the first uplink signal. Optionally, the above information may be simultaneously indicated by multiplexing the target field. Here, the target field may indicate an index that simultaneously indicates the above information, or different fields in the target field may simultaneously indicate the above information.

[0661] Optionally, when the value of the SSB subcarrier offset field is a first value, and / or the value of the redundancy field is a second value, the PDCCH SIB1 configuration field is used to indicate the resource configuration information of the first uplink signal and the scheduling information of SIB1.

[0662] Optionally, the first field in the target field is used to indicate the state of the network device and / or resource configuration information of the first uplink signal, and the second field in the target field is used to indicate the resource location where the terminal expects to detect the first message and / or the resource location of feedback information of the first uplink signal after sending the first uplink signal;

[0663] or,

[0664] The first field in the target field is used to indicate the state of the network device or resource configuration information of the first uplink signal, and the second field in the target field is used to indicate scheduling information of SIB1.

[0665] In this embodiment, the target field may include at least two fields, one of which is used to indicate the status of the network device and / or the resource configuration information of the first uplink signal, and the other field is used to indicate other content, such as at least one of the following: the resource location where the terminal expects to detect the first message after sending the first uplink signal; the resource location of the feedback information of the first uplink signal; and the scheduling information of SIB1.

[0666] As an optional embodiment, the target field indicates the resource configuration information of the first uplink signal in an indication manner including at least one of the following:

[0667] The target field indicates an index of resource configuration information of the first uplink signal;

[0668] The target field indicates information content of resource configuration information of the first uplink signal;

[0669] The target field indicates a configuration index of a PRACH, where the PRACH is the first uplink signal;

[0670] The target field indicates information content of configuration information of a PRACH, where the PRACH is a first uplink signal.

[0671] As an optional embodiment, the first indication information is SSB, and the relevant information of the SSB is used to indicate the status of the network device and / or resource configuration information of the first uplink signal;

[0672] The SSB-related information includes at least one of the following:

[0673] The period of SSB;

[0674] The resource location of SSB;

[0675] Time domain resource offset of SSB;

[0676] Frequency domain resource offset of SSB.

[0677] In this embodiment, the terminal may determine the state of the network device and / or the resource location of the first uplink signal based on the relevant information of the SSB. Optionally, a correspondence between the relevant information of the SSB and the state of the network device and / or the resource configuration information of the first uplink signal may be pre-set. The terminal may determine the state of the network device and / or the resource location of the first uplink signal based on a combination of one or more of the above information.

[0678] As an optional embodiment, the first indication information is paging scheduling information, and the paging scheduling information is used to indicate the state of the network device and / or resource configuration information of the first uplink signal.

[0679] In this embodiment, the network device may indicate the state of the network device and / or the resource configuration information of the first uplink signal through the paging scheduling information. Optionally, the paging scheduling information may carry an index or specific information content of the state of the network device and / or the resource location of the first uplink signal.

[0680] As an optional embodiment, the resource configuration information of the first uplink signal includes at least one of the following:

[0681] an index of the first uplink signal;

[0682] a period of resources of the first uplink signal;

[0683] a resource position of a transmission opportunity of the first uplink signal in a cycle;

[0684] A preamble index for requesting the first message;

[0689] The number of ROs contained in the PRACH slot;

[0690] Duration of RO.

[0691] As an optional embodiment, the method further includes:

[0692] First scheduling information of a first message is sent to the terminal, where the first scheduling information is used by the terminal to receive the first message.

[0693] For example, the first indication information may be an MIB message, which carries resource configuration information for triggering the first uplink signal of SIB1 (on-demand SIB1) sent on demand. However, the MIB message does not carry SIB1 scheduling information (PDCCH information). Therefore, after receiving the first uplink signal sent by the terminal, the network device sends the SIB1 scheduling information to the terminal. The terminal may receive SIB1 based on the SIB1 scheduling information.

[0694] As an optional embodiment, the method further includes:

[0695] Second scheduling information is sent to the terminal, where the second scheduling information is used to carry resource configuration information of the first uplink signal.

[0696] In this embodiment, the first indication information may be an SSB sent by the network device. After the network device sends the SSB, the terminal may determine the resource location of the second scheduling information used to carry the resource configuration information of the first uplink signal based on the resource location of the SSB. The terminal receives the second scheduling information based on the resource location of the second scheduling information, and may determine the resource location of the first uplink signal based on the content in the second scheduling information.

[0697] As an optional embodiment, the method further includes at least one of the following:

[0698] (1) Sending a first message to the terminal within a first time period after receiving the first uplink signal.

[0699] In this embodiment, the terminal may expect to receive the first message sent by the network device within a first time period after sending the first uplink signal, so the terminal performs detection within the first time period after sending the first uplink signal.

[0700] For example, a UE may expect to receive SIB1 sent by an energy-saving cell within the first time period after the UE sends a UL WUS. For example, if a UE sends a UL WUS to an energy-saving cell and the UE believes that the energy-saving cell will send SIB1 within the first time period after the UE sends the UL WUS, the UE may send a first message within the first time period after the energy-saving cell receives the UL WUS. The UE may detect the first message within the first time period after sending the UL WUS.

[0701] (2) if the first message is not sent within a second time period after receiving the first uplink signal, then the first uplink signal is not detected within a third time period;

[0702] In this embodiment, after sending the first uplink signal to the network device, the terminal can detect the first message within the second time period. If the first message is not detected (that is, the network device does not send the first message within the second time period), the terminal may no longer send the first uplink signal to trigger the first message within the third time period, and the network device does not detect the first uplink signal within the third time period.

[0703] (3) not detecting the first uplink signal within a fourth time period after receiving the first uplink signal;

[0704] In this embodiment, after sending the first uplink signal to the network device, the terminal may no longer send the first uplink signal within the fourth time period, and the network device no longer detects the first uplink signal within the fourth time period.

[0705] (4) detecting the first uplink signal in N uplink signal resources after a fifth time period, where the fifth time period is a time period after detecting the first uplink signal, and N is greater than or equal to 1;

[0706] In this embodiment, after sending the first uplink signal to the network device, the terminal may send the first uplink signal again after the fifth time period after sending the first uplink signal, and the network device may detect the first uplink signal again after the fifth time period. Specifically, the terminal sends the first uplink signal in N uplink signal resources after the fifth time period, and the network device detects the first uplink signal in N uplink signal resources after the fifth time period.

[0707] (5) If the first message is not sent within a sixth time period after receiving the first uplink signal, detecting the first uplink signal in M uplink signal resources after a seventh time period, where the seventh time period is a time period after the sixth time period, and M is greater than or equal to 1;

[0708] In this embodiment, after receiving the first uplink signal, the network device may not send the first message in the sixth time period, and the terminal does not detect the first message in the sixth time period. The terminal sends the first uplink signal again after the seventh time period following the sixth time period, and the network device detects the first uplink signal again after the seventh time period following the sixth time period.

[0709] (6) sending a first message to the terminal at a first resource location;

[0710] In this embodiment, the terminal expects the network device to send the first message at the first resource location after the first uplink signal. The terminal can detect the first message at the first resource location after sending the first uplink signal, and the network device sends the first message at the first resource location.

[0711] (7) Sending feedback information to the terminal.

[0712] Optionally, the feedback information includes at least one of the following:

[0713] confirmation information corresponding to the first uplink signal;

[0714] rejection information corresponding to the first uplink signal;

[0715] the first message;

[0716] scheduling information of the first message;

[0717] Information on available or valid first uplink signal resources;

[0718] Information about unavailable or failed first uplink signal resources;

[0719] a duration during which the network device does not send the first message;

[0720] Information of candidate resident cells;

[0721] Conditions or criteria for cell selection;

[0722] Conditions or criteria for cell reselection.

[0723] In an embodiment of the present application, a network device sends a first indication message to a terminal, and the first terminal determines the status of the network device and / or the resource location of the first uplink signal based on the first indication message. The terminal can send the first uplink signal to the network device when needed. Triggering the network device to send the first message through the first uplink signal will not affect the terminal's business, and the network device can not send the first message in the network energy-saving state to reduce network energy consumption.
