[0002] In the field of communications technology, after a terminal device accesses a serving cell, the network equipment of the serving cell provides communication services to the terminal device, enabling the terminal device's communication functions. For example, the serving cell periodically sends system message blocks for paging and provides random access services for the terminal device.

[0003] As networks evolve, network energy consumption becomes a major pain point in network operations due to the introduction and enhancement of technologies such as high bandwidth, high speed, and massive antennas. The introduction of Network Energy Savings (NES) can effectively reduce network operating costs, which will ultimately be passed on to users.

[0057] The above drawings illustrate specific embodiments of the present application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and the textual description are not intended to limit the scope of the present application in any way, but rather to illustrate the concepts of the present application to those skilled in the art by reference to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0058] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, with examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, when referring to the drawings, identical numerals in different figures represent identical or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present application, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0059] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an application scenario of a method for sending a system message block provided in an embodiment of the present application is given as an example with reference to the illustrated scenario:

[0060] Resident cell: The cell where the terminal device is currently located, which is the cell where the terminal device communicates.

[0061] Non-resident cell: a cell where the terminal device is not currently resident.

[0062] Network energy saving: In order to reduce energy consumption on the network side, R18 introduced network energy saving technology. The cell in network energy saving mode is called NES (Network Energy Saving) cell. NES is a technology aimed at studying how to reduce energy consumption of network equipment. Currently possible NES methods are as follows: 1) The cell in NES mode is configured with a discontinuous transmission (DTX) or discontinuous reception (DRX) mechanism. Cell DTX / DRX refers to the cell's periodic non-transmission / non-reception of uplink and downlink data. 2) It is the cell adaptive state (cell spatial / power adaptation). The cell in the adaptive state can adjust the cell's power, beam direction, etc. by itself. 3) The cell turn off state (cell turn off) means that the cell stops receiving and sending data signals, etc.

[0063] The cell DTX / DRX configuration parameters include, but are not limited to, the following: 1) whether only DTX, only DRX, or both DTX and DRX are configured; 2) the duration of activity at the start of a DTX / DRX cycle; 3) the subframe in which DTX / DRX begins; 4) the delay before starting DTX / DRX; 5) the cell DTX / DRX cycle; and 6) the initial activation state of the cell DTX / DRX. The cell activation cycle and cell inactivation cycle are defined based on the cell DTX / DRX configuration parameters, and the cell activation cycle and cell inactivation cycle alternate.

[0064] Taking the scenario example as an example, for terminal devices, during the cell inactive period, connected terminal devices can send access requests and transmit and receive system information blocks (System Information Block, SIB for short) through random access channels, without enhancing contention-based random access CBRA or non-contention-based random access CFRA. During the cell inactive period, the terminal device does not perform uplink transmission and does not send a scheduling request SR at the scheduling request opportunity. For example, during the inactive period, the scheduling request is in a suspended state, and the transmission of the scheduling request will be delayed until the active period. In addition, during the inactive period, if the terminal device does not send a scheduling request within the physical uplink control channel PUCCH opportunity, the terminal device will keep the scheduling request in a suspended state. When the terminal device receives dynamically scheduled resources, it will perform relevant actions according to the allocated resources, including hybrid automatic repeat request HARQ feedback for the downlink DL.

[0065] In another example scenario, during a cell inactivity period, the terminal device does not monitor the semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) opportunity. During a cell inactivity period, the network device does not send a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) to the terminal device during the SPS opportunity.

[0066] In another example scenario, during the cell inactivity period, the terminal device monitors the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) of the random access response (RAR). The response window a-ResponseWindow is activated using the existing mechanism and parameters. Simultaneously, the terminal device monitors the PDCCH of MSG4 and activates the contention resolution timer ra-ContentionResolutionTimer using the existing mechanism.

[0067] The network equipment of the non-resident cell may not send system message blocks or synchronization signal blocks to the terminal device. The resident cell provides idle state resident, and the network equipment of the resident cell may send system message blocks, synchronization signal blocks or paging cells, and the network equipment of the resident cell may send system message blocks of non-resident cells.

[0068] It should be noted that one of the application scenarios of this application is that the resident cell and the non-resident cell belong to different network devices, that is, a cross-network device scenario, or a cross-centralized unit CU scenario. This application does not limit the specific application scenario.

[0069] The network equipment to which the non-resident cell belongs sends the system message block of the non-resident cell to the network equipment to which the resident cell belongs, and the network equipment to which the resident cell belongs sends the system message block of the non-resident cell to the terminal equipment, thereby implementing the sending of the system message block. The terminal equipment determines whether it can access the non-resident cell based on the system message block.

[0070] In related technologies, system message blocks can be sent between resident cells and non-resident cells belonging to the same network device through the network device. In this application, the network device to which the resident cell belongs and the network device to which the non-resident cell belongs belong to different network devices, which can increase the scope of application scenarios for sending system message blocks.

[0071] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the activation cycle provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the activation time and inactivation time of the non-resident cell alternate, the activation time corresponds to the activation period, and the inactivation time corresponds to the inactivation period. The non-resident cell can send system message blocks during the activation period, and does not send system message blocks during the inactivation period.

The IoT is an important component of the future development of information technology. Its main technical feature is connecting objects to the Internet through communication technologies, thereby realizing an intelligent network that interconnects humans and machines, and things and things. For example, the terminal device in the embodiments of this application may be a wearable device. Wearable devices, also known as wearable smart devices, are a general term for wearable devices that apply wearable technology to intelligently design and develop wearable devices, such as glasses, gloves, watches, clothing, and shoes. Wearable devices are portable devices that can be worn directly on the body or integrated into the user's clothing or accessories. Wearable devices are not just hardware devices; they can also achieve powerful functions through software support, data interaction, and cloud interaction. Broadly speaking, wearable smart devices include those that are fully functional, large in size, and can achieve full or partial functions independently of smartphones, such as smart watches or smart glasses, as well as those that focus on a specific application function and require cooperation with other devices such as smartphones, such as various smart bracelets and smart jewelry for vital sign monitoring.

In addition, the terminal device may also be an on-board module, on-board module, on-board component, on-board chip or on-board unit built into the vehicle as one or more components or units, and the vehicle may implement the method provided in the present application through the built-in on-board module, on-board module, on-board component, on-board chip or on-board unit. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application may also be applied to the Internet of Vehicles, such as vehicle to everything (V2X), long term evolution-vehicle (LTE-V), vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) technology, etc.

The small cells here can include: metrocell, microcell, picocell, femtocell, etc. These small cells have the characteristics of small coverage and low transmission power, and are suitable for providing high-speed data transmission services.

[0080] The technical solutions of the present application and the technical solutions of the present application are described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments may be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in detail in certain embodiments. In the description of the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, each term should be understood in a broad sense within the art. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0081] Figure 3 A flow chart of a method for sending a system message block provided in an embodiment of the present application, the method comprising the following steps:

[0082] S301. Receive first indication information, where the first indication information is at least used to instruct a network device belonging to a non-resident cell to have no system message block to transmit, or to instruct a network device belonging to a resident cell to send a system message block of the non-resident cell.

[0083] The system message block is used to transmit system messages. According to the communication protocol, the system message block includes SIB1 to SIB5, etc. The system message block contains key information required for terminal devices to access the cell, such as random access parameters. The terminal device uses the system message block to determine whether the cell is accessible. This application does not limit the specific type of system message block, and the system message block can be SIB1.

[0084] As an example, the execution subject of this embodiment may be a network device to which the resident cell belongs.

[0085] It should be noted that this application does not limit the type of network equipment.

[0086] The first indication information may be sent by a network device to which the non-resident cell belongs.

[0087] For example, before receiving the first indication information, the network device to which the resident cell belongs will not send the system message block of the non-resident cell. When the network device to which the resident cell belongs receives the first indication information, if the first indication information indicates that the network device to which the non-resident cell belongs has no system message block to transmit, the network device to which the resident cell belongs determines that the current state of the non-resident cell is that the system message block cannot be sent, and the network device to which the resident cell belongs then executes the execution of sending the system message block of the non-resident cell on behalf of the non-resident cell. If the first indication information instructs the network device to which the resident cell belongs to send the system message block of the non-resident cell, the network device to which the resident cell belongs executes the execution of sending the system message block of the non-resident cell on behalf of the non-resident cell in response to the indication.

[0088] The network device to which the resident cell belongs and the network device to which the non-resident cell belongs establish a connection through the Xn interface.

[0089] In a feasible implementation manner, the network device to which the non-resident cell belongs sends first indication information, where the first indication information is at least used to indicate that the network device to which the non-resident cell belongs has no system message block to transmit.

[0090] Optionally, the network device sends the first indication information through the Xn interface.

[0091] In combination with the scenario example, if the non-resident cell has no system message block transmission due to network energy saving or other reasons, the first indication information is sent, and the network device belonging to the resident cell determines that the network device belonging to the non-resident cell has no system message block transmission based on the first indication information.

[0092] S302: Send a system message block of the non-resident cell based on the first indication information.

[0093] The network device to which the resident cell belongs sends a system message block of a non-resident cell to the terminal device. The terminal device in this application is a terminal device resident in the resident cell.

[0094] In a feasible implementation method, the first indication information includes at least one of the following: a system message block of a non-resident cell, a network energy-saving status of a non-resident cell, a network energy-saving configuration of a non-resident cell, a first activation indication, a first timer, or a synchronization signal block (Synchronization Signal Block, SSB for short) of a non-resident cell.

[0095] Next, each type of information in the first indication information is exemplified respectively.

[0096] Exemplarily, the system message block of a non-resident cell includes system message block information and parameters of the non-resident cell. The system message block information may include information relevant to evaluating whether to allow a terminal device to access the cell and define the scheduling of other system messages. It also includes radio resource configuration information common to all terminal devices and information prohibited from being applied to unified access control.

[0097] Among them, the network energy-saving configuration of the non-resident cell includes but is not limited to cell-level DTX / DRX configuration information, and the cell-level DTX / DRX configuration information indicates the activation time, inactivation time, DTX / DRX cycle and other configuration information of the non-resident cell.

[0098] In conjunction with the scenario example, after receiving the first indication information including the system message block of the non-resident cell and / or the network energy-saving configuration of the non-resident cell, the resident cell may immediately activate the configuration, that is, after receiving the system message block and / or the network energy-saving configuration including the non-resident cell, the resident cell immediately sends the system message block information of the non-resident cell in its own cell. The specific behavior of the system message block of the non-resident cell sent by the specific resident cell may be to send it immediately after receiving the first indication information, and to send it continuously until a new deactivation indication is received, and the resident cell will stop sending the system message block of the non-resident cell. In addition, the specific behavior of the system message block of the non-resident cell sent by the resident cell may also be: the resident cell sends the system message block of the non-resident cell according to the network energy-saving configuration of the non-resident cell, for example, the resident cell will only send the system message block of the non-resident cell during the deactivation time of the non-resident cell. The deactivation time of the non-resident cell may include: the inactivation time of Cell DTX / DRX, or the case where the cell is closed.

[0099] The network energy-saving state of the non-resident cell may include indication information of activating cell-level DTX / DRX for the non-resident cell, or indication information of cell shutdown.

[0100] Taking a scenario example, the non-resident cell's cell-level DTX / DRX activation indication information can use a single bit to indicate whether the current non-resident cell has enabled or activated the cell-level DTX / DRX configuration. When the single bit is "true," it indicates that the non-resident cell has activated the cell-level DTX / DRX configuration. At this point, network energy saving for the non-resident cell is active, meaning the non-resident cell stops receiving and transmitting specific signals during the DTX / DRX inactive period. When the single bit is "false" or missing, it indicates that the cell-level DTX / DRX configuration is deactivated. At this point, network energy saving for the non-resident cell is deactivated, meaning the non-resident cell can normally receive and transmit data signals. The above two situations indicate whether the non-resident cell has activated cell-level DTX / DRX. Additionally, the network energy saving status of the non-resident cell can use a single bit to indicate whether the cell is off. For example, when the single bit is "true," the non-resident cell is off and no longer receives or transmits data. When a bit is "false" or missing, the non-resident cell is turned on and normal data reception and transmission can be performed.

[0101] The first activation indication in the first indication information is used to instruct the network device to which the resident cell belongs to send a system message block to the terminal device instead of the network device to which the non-resident cell belongs.

[0102] In conjunction with the scenario example, the network device to which the non-resident cell belongs sends a first activation indication to the network device to which the resident cell belongs in the form of one bit. If the network device to which the resident cell belongs receives one bit and the one bit is "true", the network device to which the resident cell belongs sends the system message block of the non-resident cell to the terminal device. If the network device to which the resident cell belongs does not receive one bit or the one bit is "false", the network device to which the resident cell belongs does not perform the behavior of sending the system message block of the non-resident cell to the terminal device.

[0103] The first timer is used to indicate the time when the network equipment of the resident cell sends the system message block of the non-resident cell. The synchronization signal block SSB of the non-resident cell consists of the primary synchronization signal, the secondary synchronization signal, the cell reference signal and the physical broadcast channel.

[0104] In conjunction with a scenario example, if the network device to which the non-resident cell belongs needs to instruct the network device to which the resident cell belongs to send a system message block of the non-resident cell to the terminal device at a specified time, a first timer is generated according to the specified time. The network device to which the resident cell belongs can determine the time specified by the network device to which the non-resident cell belongs based on the first timer.

[0105] Next, examples are given for scenarios where the first indication information includes different information.

[0106] Figure 4 The first indication information provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a schematic diagram of different information. Figure 4 As shown, in scenario 1, the first indication information includes the system message block of the non-resident cell and the first activation indication. In scenario 2, the first indication information includes the system message block of the non-resident cell and the first timer. In scenario 3, the first indication information includes only the system message block of the non-resident cell, and the second indication information includes the second activation indication and / or the second timer. In scenario 4, the first indication information includes the system message block of the non-resident cell and the SSB of the non-resident cell.

[0107] Exemplarily, the first indication information in scenario one includes a system message block of a non-resident cell and a first activation indication.

[0108] Next, combine Figure 5 Describe the system message block.

[0109] Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the system message block provided by the embodiment of this application. Figure 5As shown, the network device of the resident cell receives the first indication information sent by the network device of the non-resident cell, wherein the first indication information includes a system message block and a first activation indication. In response to the first activation indication, the network device of the resident cell sends the system message block to the terminal device.

[0110] A feasible implementation manner is to send the system message block of the non-resident cell based on the first indication information, including: sending the system message block of the non-resident cell at the moment of receiving the first indication information.

[0111] In conjunction with the scenario example, the first activation indication is used to instruct the network device to which the resident cell belongs to immediately send a system message block to the terminal device.

[0112] Among them, the system message block of the non-resident cell is an important information element in the network of the non-resident cell, which is used to broadcast system messages, contains relevant information when evaluating whether the terminal device is allowed to access the cell, and defines the scheduling of other system messages. It also contains radio resource configuration information common to all terminal devices, as well as information that is prohibited from being applied to unified access control, etc. The terminal device determines the system message of the cell in which it is located by receiving the system message block so that it can communicate with the network correctly. When the terminal device enters a new cell, it listens to the system message block broadcast by the cell, and obtains the necessary information from the system message block for access and communication, as well as obtaining other system messages and other operations. If the terminal device does not obtain the system message block of the non-resident cell, it lacks the information necessary to access the non-resident cell, and cell switching cannot be performed.

[0113] In conjunction with the scenario example, the network device to which the resident cell belongs obtains the system message block of the non-resident cell from the first indication information. If the first indication information includes the first activation indication, it means that the network device to which the non-resident cell belongs instructs the network device to which the resident cell belongs to send the system message block of the non-resident cell at the moment of receiving the first indication information. If the first indication information does not include the first activation indication, it means that the network device to which the non-resident cell belongs has not instructed the network device to which the resident cell belongs to send the system message block of the non-resident cell, and the network device to which the resident cell belongs does not send the system message block of the non-resident cell for the time being.

[0114] Optionally, the first activation indication may be carried in a newly added Xn message, which is used for NES-related management functions, or in an existing Xn message, such as an energy-saving management message: cell activation request or cell activation response.

[0115] In this feasible implementation, upon receiving the first activation indication, the network device of the resident cell immediately sends the system message block of the non-resident cell in its own cell, which can reduce the frequency of the non-resident cell sending the system message block and reduce the energy consumption of the non-resident cell.

[0116] Exemplarily, the first indication information in scenario 2 includes a system message block of a non-resident cell and a first timer.

[0117] A feasible implementation method is to send the system message block of the non-resident cell based on the first indication information, including: after the moment of receiving the first indication information, after the time period corresponding to the first timer has passed, sending the system message block of the non-resident cell.

[0118] Optionally, the first timer includes a timer duration, and the time for sending the system message block is determined according to the timer duration.

[0119] Taking a scenario example, the timer length in the first timer is 10 minutes, and the network device to which the resident cell belongs sends the system message block of the non-resident cell 10 minutes after receiving the first indication information.

[0120] Optionally, the first timer includes a start time and a timer duration, and the time for sending the system message block is determined according to the start time and the timer duration.

[0121] Taking a scenario example, the start time of the first timer is 10:20 and the timer duration is 10 minutes, then the network device of the resident cell sends the system message block of the non-resident cell at 10:30.

[0122] Optionally, the time period corresponding to the first timer corresponds to the activation period of the non-resident cell.

[0123] In combination with the scenario example, in the period corresponding to the first timer, the non-resident cell is in the activation period and can send system message blocks. At this time, the network device to which the non-resident cell belongs sends the system message blocks, while the network device to which the resident cell belongs does not send the system message blocks.

[0124] It should be noted that the first timer example and the first activation indication example can be executed simultaneously or separately, and this application does not limit this.

[0125] It can be understood that the first timer can flexibly control the network device to which the camped cell belongs to send the system message block.

[0126] Exemplarily, the first indication information in scenario three only includes the system message blocks of the non-resident cell.

[0127] Optionally, if the first indication information includes the system message block of the non-resident cell and does not include the first activation indication, the network device to which the resident cell belongs does not immediately send the system message block of the non-resident cell in its own cell.

[0128] In combination with the scenario example, if the first indication information does not include the first activation indication, the network device to which the resident cell belongs obtains the system message block of the non-resident cell from the first indication information, first stores the system message block of the non-resident cell and waits for the next instruction from the network device to which the non-resident cell belongs.

[0129] Optionally, based on the first indication information of scenario three, a waiting indication can be added, and the waiting indication is used to instruct the terminal device to wait for receiving the second activation indication.

[0130] In this scenario example, by adding a wait indication to the first indication information, the network device of the resident cell also performs the action of not immediately sending the system message block of the non-resident cell in its own cell. Based on this, the network device of the resident cell can clearly determine the next action to be waiting for receiving the second activation indication based on the wait indication.

[0131] The second activation indication may be sent via second indication information. Next, a solution of combining the first indication information with the second indication information will be specifically described with an example.

[0132] On the basis that the first indication information does not include the first activation indication or the first timer, a feasible implementation method is that the method for sending a system message block also includes: receiving second indication information, the second indication information includes a second activation indication, and the second activation indication is used to activate the system message block transmission of the non-resident cell; based on the second indication information, sending the system message block of the non-resident cell.

[0133] In combination with the scenario example, the network device to which the non-resident cell belongs sends a second activation indication to the network device to which the resident cell belongs in the form of one bit. If the network device to which the resident cell belongs receives one bit and the one bit is "true", the network device to which the resident cell belongs sends the system message block of the non-resident cell to the terminal device. If the network device to which the resident cell belongs does not receive one bit or the one bit is "false", the network device to which the resident cell belongs does not execute the sending of the system message block of the non-resident cell to the terminal device.

[0134] Optionally, the second activation indication can be carried in a newly added Xn message, which is used for NES-related management functions, or in an existing Xn message, such as a cell activation request or cell activation response message for energy saving management.

[0135] Taking the scenario example as an example, if the first indication information does not include the first activation indication, the network device to which the resident cell belongs temporarily stores the system message block in the first indication information until it receives the second indication information, and sends the system message block of the non-resident cell to the terminal device according to the second activation indication in the second indication information.

[0136] In actual applications, if the network equipment belonging to the non-resident cell does not determine the time to instruct the network equipment belonging to the resident cell to send the system message block when sending the first indication information, the time to send the system message block by the network equipment belonging to the resident cell can be determined after sending the first indication information, and the time to send the system message block by the network equipment belonging to the resident cell can be indicated by the second indication information.

[0137] Next, combine Figure 6 A scheme for combining the first indication information and the second indication information is described.

[0138] Figure 6 Schematic diagram of the combination of the first indication information and the second indication information provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 As shown, if the first indication information includes the system message block of the non-resident cell, and the first indication information does not include the first activation indication or the first timer, the network device to which the resident cell belongs cannot determine the time for sending the system message block. This scenario requires the network device to which the non-resident cell belongs to send the second indication information so that the network device to which the resident cell belongs to determine the time for sending the system message block according to the second indication information.

[0139] In a feasible implementation, the second indication information further includes a second timer; the method further includes: after receiving the second indication information, after a period corresponding to the second timer has passed, sending a system message block of the non-resident cell.

[0140] In combination with the scenario example, the second timer and the second activation indication can be a parallel example. In this implementation, the second indication information does not include the second activation indication, but includes the second timer. The network device to which the resident cell belongs determines the time to send the system message block according to the second timer.

[0141] In this feasible implementation, the second timer can be used to flexibly determine the time for sending the system message block.

[0142] Optionally, if the network device to which the resident cell belongs accepts the first indication information or the second indication information, a response message of acceptance is sent to the network device to which the non-resident cell belongs. If the network device to which the resident cell belongs does not accept the first indication information or the second indication information, a response message of non-acceptance is sent to the network device to which the non-resident cell belongs.

[0143] For example, the network device of the resident cell determines whether it can send the system message block on behalf of the resident cell based on the network device's communication status or communication capabilities and generates a corresponding response message. Through the response message, the network device of the non-resident cell can clearly know whether the network device of the resident cell sends the system message block on behalf of the resident cell, avoiding the problem of repeated or missed transmission.

[0144] Exemplarily, the first indication information of scenario four includes the system message block of the non-resident cell and the SSB of the non-resident cell.

[0145] Next, combine Figure 7 Describes the sending of system message blocks and SSBs.

[0146] Figure 7 Schematic diagram of the system message block and SSB provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 As shown, the network device to which the resident cell belongs receives the first indication information sent by the network device to which the non-resident cell belongs, and the first indication information at least includes the system message block of the non-resident cell and the SSB of the non-resident cell. Figure 3 Based on the example, in this example, the network device to which the resident cell belongs obtains the system message block and SSB from the first indication information. The network device to which the resident cell belongs first sends the SSB of the non-resident cell to the terminal device, and then sends the system message block of the non-resident cell to the terminal device.

[0147] In a feasible implementation manner, the first indication information includes the synchronization signal block SSB of the non-resident cell, and the method further includes: sending the SSB of the non-resident cell before sending the system message block of the non-resident cell.

[0148] The SSB, which consists of the primary synchronization signal, secondary synchronization signal, cell reference signal, and physical broadcast channel, is used to achieve time and frequency synchronization between the cell and the terminal device. In 5G networks, the SSB is also used to obtain the cell's physical layer identifier and other information required for initial access. In a cell handover scenario, the network device first sends the SSB to the terminal device, followed by the system message block.

[0149] In a scenario example, the network device of the non-resident cell first sends an SSB to achieve downlink synchronization between the non-resident cell and the terminal device. The network device of the non-resident cell then sends a system message block to enable the terminal device to determine whether it can access the non-resident cell.

[0150] In this feasible implementation, the network equipment to which the resident cell belongs sends the SSB of the non-resident cell on behalf of the resident cell, which can further save the energy consumption of the non-resident cell.

[0151] It should be noted that the example of sending the SSB of the non-resident cell refers to the example of sending the system message block of the non-resident cell, including the scheme of the first indication information and / or the second indication information.

[0152] Next, the scheme of the third indication information is described by taking an example.

[0153] A feasible implementation method, before receiving the first indication information, also includes: sending third indication information, where the third indication information is used to instruct the network device to send the first indication information.

[0154] In conjunction with the scenario example, for the solution of the third indication information, the third indication information is used to trigger the sending of the system message block. The network equipment to which the resident cell belongs sends the third indication information to the non-resident cell, requesting that the system message block of the non-resident cell be sent on behalf of the non-resident cell. The first indication information is sent in response to the third indication information. The application scenario of this solution may be that when the current cell load of the resident cell is small and there are remaining resources to send the system message block for the non-resident cell, the resident cell sends the third indication information to the non-resident cell, requesting that the system message block of the non-resident cell be sent on behalf of the non-resident cell. The network equipment to which the non-resident cell belongs receives the third indication information sent by the network equipment to which the resident cell belongs, generates the first indication information in response to the third indication information, and sends the first indication information to the network equipment to which the resident cell belongs.

[0155] Exemplarily, the Xn interface can exchange signaling information between network devices, coordinate communication processes between network devices through signaling information, and achieve interconnection and interoperability between network devices. The network device to which the resident cell belongs sends the third indication information through the Xn interface. The third indication information is used to request the system message block of the non-resident cell, and the third indication information is used to request the network device to which the resident cell belongs to send the system message block of the non-resident cell on behalf of the non-resident cell.

[0156] Optionally, the third indication information can be carried in a newly added Xn message, which is used for NES-related management functions. It can also be carried in an existing Xn message, such as in an energy-saving management message, which includes but is not limited to a cell activation request or a cell activation response.

[0157] In conjunction with the scenario example, for the method that does not include the third indication information, the first indication information is used to trigger the sending of the system message block.

[0158] In this feasible implementation, the versatility of the system message block sending can be improved through multiple triggering methods of sending the system message block on behalf of others.

[0159] Furthermore, a feasible implementation method, before sending the third indication information, also includes: receiving fourth indication information, the fourth indication information including at least one of the following: a sending indication or a cell identifier corresponding to a non-resident cell, the sending indication being used to instruct the terminal device to send the third indication information to the network device.

[0160] Optionally, the fourth indication information is sent by an operation, administration, and maintenance (OAM) system, which manages multiple network devices in a unified manner.

[0161] Among them, the cell identifier is used to identify the cell. The cell identifier is used to uniquely identify a cell in a wireless network for the transmission and reception of wireless signals. By using the cell identifier, the communication system can effectively manage communications between cells and ensure that users can switch seamlessly between different cells. The cell identifier can be an NR global cell identifier (NRCell Global Identifier, abbreviated as NCGI), a physical cell identifier (Physical Cell Identifier, PCI) or an NR cell identity (NR Cell Identity, abbreviated as NCI).

[0162] In the example scenario, the fourth indication information instructs the network device of the resident cell to send the system message block, and the network device of the resident cell sends the third indication information corresponding to the sending instruction in the fourth indication information. The network device of the resident cell determines the non-resident cell by the cell identifier.

[0163] In this feasible implementation, the network device to which the resident cell belongs can accurately determine the non-resident cell corresponding to the fourth indication information through the cell identifier, thereby improving the accuracy of sending the third indication information and further improving the accuracy of sending the system message block.

[0164] The method for sending a system message block provided in an embodiment of the present application receives first indication information, wherein the first indication information is used to at least indicate that a network device belonging to a non-resident cell has no system message block to transmit; and based on the first indication information, sends the system message block of the non-resident cell. The above scheme, by having the network device belonging to the resident cell send the system message block of the non-resident cell on behalf of the network device belonging to the resident cell, can reduce energy consumption of the network device belonging to the non-resident cell.

[0165] Next, combine Figure 8 Explain how terminal equipment accesses a cell.

[0166] Figure 8This is a schematic diagram of a terminal device accessing a cell provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 8 As shown, the terminal device receives a system message block sent by the network device to which the resident cell belongs, and accesses the non-resident cell according to the information in the system message block.

[0167] A feasible implementation method, before receiving the system message block of the non-resident cell, also includes: receiving the SSB of the non-resident cell; the method also includes: accessing the non-resident cell according to the SSB of the non-resident cell and the system message block of the non-resident cell.

[0168] Taking the scenario example as an example, downlink synchronization between the terminal device and the non-resident cell is achieved through SSB, and the terminal device accesses the non-resident cell through the system message block.

[0169] In this feasible implementation, the network equipment to which the resident cell belongs sends the SSB of the non-resident cell on behalf of the resident cell, which can further save the energy consumption of the non-resident cell.
