Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of communication, and in particular to a method for monitoring a low-power wake-up signal, a method for configuring control parameters of the low-power wake-up signal, an electronic device, a computer program product and a computer-readable storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] In some communication systems, a network device pages a user equipment (UE) or sends a broadcast message to the UE via a downlink channel. To detect a potential paging message or broadcast message, the UE can continuously monitor the downlink channel with a main receiver (MR). To reduce the power consumption of the UE, the UE configures a low-power wake-up receiver (LR), and accordingly, the network device sends a wake-up signal to the UE. When the UE is in a coverage of the wake-up signal, the MR is turned off, and the UE is in a sleep state, and the LR receives the wake-up signal. After the LR receives the wake-up signal, the UE is woken up from the sleep state and the MR is woken up to receive the paging message or the broadcast message.

[0003] Currently, a protocol specifies that entering a coverage of the wake-up signal by the UE can be specified by an entering threshold value, and leaving the coverage of the wake-up signal by the UE can be specified by a leaving threshold value. Assuming that the entering threshold value and the leaving threshold value are the same, when the UE is at a boundary of the coverage of the wake-up signal and moves back and forth, the UE will inevitably frequently turn on and turn off the MR. However, frequently turning on and turning off the MR will cause the life of hardware devices of the UE to be damaged, and unnecessary power consumption is generated. SUMMARY

[0004] The present application provides a method for monitoring a low-power wake-up signal, a method for configuring control parameters of the low-power wake-up signal, an electronic device, a computer program product and a computer-readable storage medium, and aims to solve the problem that the UE is at a boundary of a coverage of a wake-up signal and moves back and forth, causing the MR to be frequently turned on and turned off, thereby causing the life of hardware devices of the UE to be damaged, and unnecessary power consumption is generated.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] The first aspect of the present application provides a method for monitoring a low-power wake-up signal. The method can be performed by a user equipment. In a specific implementation, the method comprises: obtaining a threshold value of a target reference signal quality and a hysteresis duration; based on a comparison result of the obtained target reference signal quality and the threshold value of the target reference signal quality, monitoring the low-power wake-up signal by using a low-power wake-up receiver and turning off a main receiver, or stopping monitoring the low-power wake-up signal by using the low-power wake-up receiver and turning on the main receiver, wherein, within the hysteresis duration after the main receiver is turned on, the comparison result of the obtained target reference signal quality and the threshold value of the target reference signal quality indicates that, in the case of monitoring the low-power wake-up signal by using the low-power wake-up receiver and turning off the main receiver, the user equipment does not monitor the low-power wake-up signal by using the low-power wake-up receiver and does not turn off the main receiver.

[0007] As can be seen from the above, within the hysteresis duration after the main receiver is turned on, if the obtained target reference signal quality indicates that the main receiver should be turned off and the low-power wake-up signal should be monitored, it means that the user equipment enters the coverage range of the low-power wake-up signal, and thus the user equipment does not monitor the low-power wake-up signal by using the low-power wake-up receiver and does not turn off the main receiver. In this way, the problem of frequent opening and closing of the main receiver caused by the UE moving back and forth at the boundary of the coverage range of the low-power wake-up signal, and thus the problem of damage to the service life of the hardware of the UE and unnecessary power consumption can be solved.

[0008] In a possible implementation, obtaining the threshold value of the target reference signal quality and the hysteresis duration comprises: obtaining a broadcast message, the broadcast message being used to indicate the threshold value of the target reference signal quality and the hysteresis duration.

[0009] In a possible implementation, obtaining the broadcast message, the broadcast message being used to indicate the threshold value of the target reference signal quality and the hysteresis duration comprises: obtaining a system information broadcast (SIB), the SIB being used to indicate the threshold value of the target reference signal quality and the hysteresis duration. The SIB can be SIB1, SIB2, etc.

[0010] In a possible implementation, the threshold value of the target reference signal quality comprises: a first threshold value of the target reference signal quality and a second threshold value of the target reference signal quality, the first threshold value being used to monitor the low-power wake-up signal by using the low-power wake-up receiver and turn off the main receiver, and the second threshold value being used to stop monitoring the low-power wake-up signal by using the low-power wake-up receiver and turn on the main receiver. The first threshold value can be understood as an entry threshold value, and the second threshold value can be understood as an exit threshold value.

[0011] In a possible implementation, based on the comparison result of the obtained target reference signal quality and the threshold value of the target reference signal quality, the low-power wake-up receiver is used to monitor the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is turned off, or the low-power wake-up receiver is stopped from monitoring the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is turned on, including: in a case where the obtained target reference signal quality is greater than or equal to the first threshold value, after the time length during which the main receiver is in the turned-on state meets the hysteresis time length, the low-power wake-up receiver is used to monitor the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is turned off, or in a case where the obtained target reference signal quality is less than or equal to the second threshold value, the low-power wake-up receiver is stopped from monitoring the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is turned on.

[0012] In a possible implementation, in a case where the obtained target reference signal quality is greater than or equal to the first threshold value, after the time length during which the main receiver is in the turned-on state meets the hysteresis time length, the low-power wake-up receiver is used to monitor the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is turned off, including: in a case where the obtained target reference signal quality is greater than or equal to the first threshold value, the low-power wake-up receiver is not used to monitor the low-power wake-up signal, the main receiver is controlled to be in the turned-on state, and a timer is started; and when the timing time length of the timer reaches the hysteresis time length, based on the result that the obtained target reference signal quality is greater than or equal to the first threshold value, the low-power wake-up receiver is used to monitor the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is turned off.

[0013] In the possible implementation, the obtained target reference signal quality being greater than or equal to the first threshold value indicates that the user equipment enters the coverage range of the low-power wake-up signal, so the low-power wake-up receiver is not used to monitor the low-power wake-up signal first, the main receiver is controlled to be in the turned-on state, and the timer is started, and when the timing time length of the timer reaches the hysteresis time length, the user equipment enters the coverage range again, the low-power wake-up receiver is used to monitor the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is turned off, which can avoid the user equipment being at the boundary of the coverage range of the wake-up signal and moving back and forth to cause the main receiver to be frequently turned on and turned off, thereby causing the service life of the hardware device of the user equipment to be damaged and unnecessary power consumption to be generated.

[0014] In a possible implementation, the first threshold value and the second threshold value are the same or have a mapping relationship.

[0015] In a possible implementation, the threshold value of the target reference signal quality includes a third threshold value of the target reference signal quality, and the third threshold value is used to control the low-power wake-up receiver to monitor the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver to be turned off, or to stop the low-power wake-up receiver from monitoring the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver from being turned on. The third threshold value is one, that is, the threshold value of the target reference signal quality is one.

[0016] In a possible implementation, based on the comparison result of the obtained target reference signal quality and the threshold value of the target reference signal quality, the low-power wake-up receiver is used to monitor the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is turned off, or the low-power wake-up receiver is stopped from monitoring the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is turned on, including: in the case where the obtained target reference signal quality is greater than the third threshold value, after the time length during which the main receiver is in the turned-on state meets the hysteresis time length, the low-power wake-up receiver is used to monitor the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is turned off, or in the case where the obtained target reference signal quality is less than the third threshold value, the low-power wake-up receiver is stopped from monitoring the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is turned on.

[0017] In a possible implementation, in the case where the obtained target reference signal quality is greater than or less than the third threshold value, after the time length during which the main receiver is in the turned-on state meets the hysteresis time length, the low-power wake-up receiver is used to monitor the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is turned off, including: in the case where the obtained target reference signal quality is greater than the third threshold value, the low-power wake-up receiver is not used to monitor the low-power wake-up signal, the main receiver is controlled to be in the turned-on state, and a timer is started; and in the case where the timing time length of the timer reaches the hysteresis time length, based on the result that the obtained target reference signal quality is greater than the third threshold value, the low-power wake-up receiver is used to monitor the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is turned off.

[0018] In a possible implementation, further including: in the case where, within the hysteresis time length after the main receiver is turned on, based on the comparison result of the target reference signal quality obtained multiple times and the threshold value of the target reference signal quality, the low-power wake-up receiver is first instructed to monitor the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is turned off, then the low-power wake-up receiver is instructed to stop monitoring the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is turned on, and then the low-power wake-up receiver is instructed to monitor the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is turned off, the low-power wake-up receiver is not used to monitor the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is not turned off, and the time length during which the main receiver is turned on is reset. In this way, it is indicated that, within the hysteresis time length after the user equipment enters the coverage range of the low-power wake-up signal, the user equipment first exits the coverage range, then enters the coverage range again, and then exits the coverage range again, none of which causes the low-power wake-up receiver to monitor the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver to be turned off, and the time length during which the main receiver is turned on is reset when the user equipment enters the coverage range again.

[0019] In a possible implementation, based on the comparison result of the obtained target reference signal quality and the threshold value of the target reference signal quality, the low-power wake-up receiver is used to monitor the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is turned off, or the low-power wake-up receiver is stopped from monitoring the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is turned on, including: in the case where the obtained target reference signal quality is less than or equal to the second threshold value, the low-power wake-up receiver is stopped from monitoring the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is turned on; in the case where the time length during which the main receiver is in the on state is within the hysteresis time length, based on the result that the obtained target reference signal quality is greater than or equal to the first threshold value, the low-power wake-up receiver is not used to monitor the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is not turned off, or in the case where the time length during which the main receiver is in the on state exceeds the hysteresis time length, based on the result that the obtained target reference signal quality is greater than or equal to the first threshold value, the low-power wake-up receiver is used to monitor the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is turned off.

[0020] In a possible implementation, in the case where the obtained target reference signal quality is less than or equal to the second threshold value, the low-power wake-up receiver is stopped from monitoring the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is turned on; in the case where the time length during which the main receiver is in the on state is within the hysteresis time length, based on the result that the obtained target reference signal quality is greater than or equal to the first threshold value, the low-power wake-up receiver is not used to monitor the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is not turned off, or in the case where the time length during which the main receiver is in the on state exceeds the hysteresis time length, based on the result that the obtained target reference signal quality is greater than or equal to the first threshold value, the low-power wake-up receiver is used to monitor the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is turned off, including:

[0021] In the case where the obtained target reference signal quality is less than or equal to the second threshold value, the low-power wake-up receiver is stopped from monitoring the low-power wake-up signal, the main receiver is turned on, and a timer is started; in the case where the counting time length of the timer does not reach the hysteresis time length, based on the result that the obtained target reference signal quality is greater than or equal to the first threshold value, the low-power wake-up receiver is not used to monitor the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is not turned off; in the case where the counting time length of the timer reaches the hysteresis time length, based on the result that the obtained target reference signal quality is greater than or equal to the first threshold value, the low-power wake-up receiver is used to monitor the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is turned off.

[0022] In the above possible implementation, the target reference signal quality obtained is less than or equal to the second threshold value, indicating that the user equipment is out of the coverage range of the low-power wake-up signal, and the low-power wake-up receiver is stopped from monitoring the low-power wake-up signal, the main receiver is turned on, and the timer is started. When the time length of the timer does not reach the hysteresis time length, the target reference signal quality obtained is greater than or equal to the first threshold value, indicating that the user equipment enters the coverage range again. Thus, the low-power wake-up receiver is not used to monitor the low-power wake-up signal, and the main receiver is not turned off. When the time length of the timer reaches the hysteresis time length, the low-power wake-up receiver is used to monitor the low-power wake-up signal, and the main receiver is turned off. This can avoid the problem that the user equipment is at the boundary of the coverage range of the wake-up signal and moves back and forth, causing the main receiver to be frequently turned on and off, thereby damaging the service life of the hardware of the user equipment and causing unnecessary power consumption.

[0023] In one possible implementation, based on the comparison result of the target reference signal quality obtained and the threshold value of the target reference signal quality, the low-power wake-up receiver is used to monitor the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is turned off, or the low-power wake-up receiver is stopped from monitoring the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is turned on, including: in the case where the target reference signal quality obtained is less than a third threshold value, the low-power wake-up receiver is stopped from monitoring the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is turned on. When the time length of the main receiver in the turned-on state is within the hysteresis time length, based on the result that the target reference signal quality obtained is greater than the third threshold value, the low-power wake-up receiver is not used to monitor the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is not turned off, or when the time length of the main receiver in the turned-on state exceeds the hysteresis time length, based on the result that the target reference signal quality obtained is greater than the third threshold value, the low-power wake-up receiver is used to monitor the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is turned off.

[0024] In one possible implementation, further comprising: within the hysteresis time length after the main receiver is turned on, based on the comparison result of the target reference signal quality obtained multiple times and the threshold value of the target reference signal quality, in the case where the low-power wake-up receiver is first instructed to monitor the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is turned off, and then instructed to stop monitoring the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is turned on, the low-power wake-up receiver is not used to monitor the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is not turned off, and the time length of the main receiver in the turned-on state is reset.

[0025] The second aspect of the present application provides a configuration method of a control parameter of a low-power wake-up signal. The method can be executed by a network device, including but not limited to a base station and a core network unit. In a specific implementation, the method comprises: configuring a threshold value of a target reference signal quality and a hysteresis duration, the threshold value of the target reference signal quality being used for instructing a low-power wake-up receiver to monitor the low-power wake-up signal and turn off a main receiver, or stopping the low-power wake-up receiver from monitoring the low-power wake-up signal and turning on the main receiver. After the main receiver is turned on, a comparison result between the obtained target reference signal quality and the threshold value of the target reference signal quality indicates that, when the low-power wake-up receiver monitors the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is turned off, the low-power wake-up receiver does not monitor the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is not turned off within the hysteresis duration.

[0026] As can be seen from the above, the network device configures the threshold value of the target reference signal quality and the hysteresis duration for the user equipment, and after the main receiver is turned on, the comparison result between the obtained target reference signal quality and the threshold value of the target reference signal quality indicates that, when the low-power wake-up receiver monitors the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is turned off, the low-power wake-up receiver does not monitor the low-power wake-up signal and the main receiver is not turned off within the hysteresis duration, which can avoid the user equipment being at the boundary of the coverage range of the wake-up signal and fluctuating back and forth to frequently turn on and turn off the main receiver, thereby causing the service life of the hardware device of the user equipment to be damaged and unnecessary power consumption to occur.

[0027] In one possible implementation, the configuration of the threshold value of the target reference signal quality and the hysteresis duration comprises: sending a broadcast message, the broadcast message being used for indicating the threshold value of the target reference signal quality and the hysteresis duration.

[0028] In one possible implementation, the sending of the broadcast message, the broadcast message being used for indicating the threshold value of the target reference signal quality and the hysteresis duration, comprises: sending a system information broadcast (SIB), the SIB being used for indicating the threshold value of the target reference signal quality and the hysteresis duration.

[0029] In one possible implementation, the threshold value of the target reference signal quality comprises: a first threshold value and a second threshold value of the target reference signal quality, the first threshold value being used for instructing the low-power wake-up receiver to monitor the low-power wake-up signal and turn off the main receiver, and the second threshold value being used for stopping the low-power wake-up receiver from monitoring the low-power wake-up signal and turning on the main receiver.

[0030] In one possible implementation, the first threshold value and the second threshold value are the same or have a mapping relationship.

[0031] In a possible implementation, the threshold of the target reference signal quality comprises: a third threshold of the target reference signal quality, the third threshold being used for monitoring the low-power wake-up signal by using the low-power wake-up receiver and turning off the main receiver, or stopping monitoring the low-power wake-up signal by using the low-power wake-up receiver and turning on the main receiver.

[0032] A third aspect of the present application provides a method for monitoring a low-power wake-up signal, which can be executed by a user equipment. In a specific implementation, the method comprises: obtaining a threshold of a target reference signal quality and an offset value; based on a result that the obtained target reference signal quality is less than the threshold of the target reference signal quality, stopping monitoring the low-power wake-up signal by using the low-power wake-up receiver and turning on the main receiver; and based on a result that the obtained target reference signal quality is greater than or equal to a sum of the threshold of the target reference signal quality and the offset value, monitoring the low-power wake-up signal by using the low-power wake-up receiver and turning off the main receiver in a state that the main receiver is turned on.

[0033] As can be seen from the above, in the process of monitoring the low-power wake-up signal by using the low-power wake-up receiver, the obtained target reference signal quality is less than the threshold of the target reference signal quality, which indicates that the user equipment leaves the coverage range of the low-power wake-up signal, so the monitoring of the low-power wake-up signal by using the low-power wake-up receiver is stopped and the main receiver is turned on, until the obtained target reference signal quality is greater than or equal to the sum of the threshold of the target reference signal quality and the offset value, then the monitoring of the low-power wake-up signal by using the low-power wake-up receiver is performed and the main receiver is turned off. It can be determined that the obtained target reference signal quality of the user equipment is only greater than or equal to the threshold of the target reference signal quality, but is not greater than or equal to the sum of the threshold of the target reference signal quality and the offset value, the main receiver is not turned off, and the low-power wake-up receiver is not used to monitor the low-power wake-up signal. This can avoid the problem that the user equipment is at the boundary of the coverage range of the wake-up signal and moves back and forth, which causes the main receiver to be frequently turned on and turned off, and further causes the service life of the hardware device of the user equipment to be damaged and unnecessary power consumption to be generated.

[0034] In a possible implementation, the obtaining of the threshold of the target reference signal quality and the offset value comprises: obtaining a broadcast message, the broadcast message being used to indicate the threshold of the target reference signal quality and the offset value.

[0035] In a possible implementation, the obtaining of the broadcast message used to indicate the threshold of the target reference signal quality and the offset value comprises: obtaining a system information broadcast (SIB), the SIB being used to indicate the threshold of the target reference signal quality and the offset value.

[0036] In one possible embodiment, the threshold value of the target reference signal quality includes: a first threshold value and a second threshold value of the target reference signal quality; wherein, based on the result that the obtained target reference signal quality is less than the threshold value of the target reference signal quality, stopping using the low-power wake-up receiver to monitor the low-power wake-up signal and turning on the main receiver includes: based on the result that the obtained target reference signal quality is less than the second threshold value, stopping using the low-power wake-up receiver to monitor the low-power wake-up signal and turning on the main receiver; when the main receiver is turned on, based on the result that the obtained target reference signal quality is greater than or equal to the sum of the threshold value and the offset value of the target reference signal quality, using the low-power wake-up receiver to monitor the low-power wake-up signal and turning off the main receiver includes: when the main receiver is turned on, based on the result that the obtained target reference signal quality is greater than or equal to the sum of the first threshold value and the offset value, using the low-power wake-up receiver to monitor the low-power wake-up signal and turning off the main receiver.

[0037] In one possible implementation, obtaining the threshold value and offset value of the target reference signal quality includes: obtaining a first threshold value, a second threshold value, and an offset value; or obtaining the first threshold value and the offset value, and obtaining a second threshold value corresponding to the first threshold value based on the first threshold value.

[0038] The fourth aspect of the present application provides a method for configuring the control parameters of a low-power wake-up signal. The method can be executed by a network device, including but not limited to a base station and a core network unit. In specific implementation, the method includes: configuring a threshold value and an offset value of the target reference signal quality; the sum of the threshold value and the offset value of the target reference signal quality is used to use a low-power wake-up receiver to monitor the low-power wake-up signal and turn off the main receiver, and the threshold value of the target reference signal quality is used to stop using the low-power wake-up receiver to monitor the low-power wake-up signal and turn on the main receiver.

[0039] From the above content, it can be seen that: the network device configures the threshold value and offset value of the target reference signal quality to the user equipment. After the main receiver is turned on, the sum of the threshold value and offset value of the target reference signal quality is used to use the low-power wake-up receiver to monitor the low-power wake-up signal and turn off the main receiver. This can avoid the user equipment being at the coverage boundary of the wake-up signal and changing back and forth, resulting in frequent turning on and off of the main receiver, which in turn causes the life of the user equipment's hardware equipment to be damaged and generates unnecessary power consumption.

[0040] In a possible implementation manner, configuring the target reference signal quality threshold and offset value includes: sending a broadcast message, where the broadcast message is used to indicate the target reference signal quality threshold and offset value.

[0041] In a possible implementation, the sending the broadcast message for indicating the threshold value of the target reference signal quality and the offset value comprises: sending a system information broadcast (SIB) for indicating the threshold value of the target reference signal quality and the offset value.

[0042] In a possible implementation, the threshold value of the target reference signal quality comprises: a first threshold value and a second threshold value of the target reference signal quality; a sum of the first threshold value and the offset value is used for monitoring the low-power wake-up signal by using the low-power wake-up receiver and turning off the main receiver, and the second threshold value is used for stopping monitoring the low-power wake-up signal by using the low-power wake-up receiver and turning on the main receiver.

[0043] In a possible implementation, the threshold value of the target reference signal quality comprises: a first threshold value of the target reference signal quality, and a sum of the first threshold value and the offset value is used for monitoring the low-power wake-up signal by using the low-power wake-up receiver and turning off the main receiver.

[0044] A fifth aspect of the present application provides an electronic device, comprising: a memory and at least one processor. The memory is configured to store a program, and the at least one processor is configured to execute the program, so that the electronic device implements the method provided by the first aspect, the second aspect, the third aspect or the fourth aspect, or any implementation manner thereof.

[0045] A sixth aspect of the present application provides a computer storage medium, configured to store a computer program, and the computer program is executed to implement the method provided by the first aspect, the second aspect, the third aspect or the fourth aspect, or any implementation manner thereof.

[0046] A seventh aspect of the present application provides a computer program product, when the computer program product is executed on a computer, the computer program product causes the computer to execute the method provided by the first aspect, the second aspect, the third aspect or the fourth aspect, or any implementation manner thereof.

The network device can be a base station (including a functional unit of the base station or a combination of functional units of the base station) or a core network unit. The core network unit can be a functional unit in the core network, including but not limited to an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) unit or a Session Management Function (SMF) unit. The second device can be a device accessing the network, which is usually a terminal. An example of the communication system is shown in Figure 1 , Figure 1 which includes a base station 100 and a terminal 200.

[0065] In the embodiment of the present application, the base station 100 can be any device with wireless transceiver functions, including but not limited to: an evolved base station (NodeB or eNB or e-NodeB, evolutionary Node B) in long term evolution (LTE), a base station (gNodeB or gNB) or a transmission receiving point (TRP) in new radio (NR), a base station of subsequent evolution of 3GPP, an access node in a Wi-Fi system, a wireless relay node, a wireless backhaul node, etc. The base station can be: a macro base station, a micro base station, a pico base station, a small station, a relay station, or a balloon station, etc. The base station can include one or more co-sited or non-co-sited transmission points (Transmission Reception Point, TRP). The base station can also be a wireless controller, a centralized unit (CU), and / or a distributed unit (DU) in a cloud radio access network (CRAN) scenario. The base station can communicate with the terminal 200, or communicate with the terminal 200 through a relay station. The terminal 200 can communicate with multiple base stations of different technologies. For example, the terminal can communicate with a base station supporting an LTE network, or with a base station supporting a 5G network, or can establish dual connections with a base station supporting an LTE network and a base station supporting a 5G network.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal 200 can be in various forms, for example, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a computer with wireless transceiver function, a virtual reality (VR) terminal device, an augmented reality (AR) terminal device, a wireless terminal in industrial control, a vehicle-mounted terminal device, a wireless terminal in self-driving, a wireless terminal in remote medical, a wireless terminal in smart grid, a wireless terminal in transportation safety, a wireless terminal in smart city, a wireless terminal in smart home, a wearable terminal device, etc. The terminal may also be sometimes referred to as a terminal device, user equipment (UE), access terminal device, vehicle-mounted terminal, industrial control terminal, UE unit, UE station, mobile station, mobile station, remote station, remote terminal device, mobile device, UE terminal device, wireless communication device, UE agent or UE device, etc. The terminal may also be a fixed terminal or a mobile terminal.

[0067] In some communication systems, a base station may page a UE via a downlink channel (e.g., a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) or a narrowband PDCCH (NPDCCH)) to indicate that data and / or control information is available for the UE. In order to detect potential paging messages, the UE may continuously monitor the downlink channel. However, in order to reduce power consumption at the UE, it may be desirable to monitor for paging messages only during certain time-frequency resources of the downlink channel. Accordingly, the base station may send a low power wake-up signal (LP-WUS, Low Power-Wake Up Signal), or WUS for short, to the UE in order to wake the UE from a sleep state and instruct the UE to monitor the downlink channel for paging messages during the corresponding paging occasion. If the UE does not receive the WUS, there may be no paging message for the UE in the downlink channel, and the UE may remain in a sleep state (e.g., until the base station retransmits the WUS).

[0068] In addition, the UE is equipped with a main radio (MR) to receive paging messages or other broadcast messages sent by the base station, and a low power receiver (LR), also known as a low power wake-up receiver (LP-WUR) or auxiliary receiver. The power consumption of LP is much lower than that of MR. When the base station sends a wake-up signal to the UE to wake up the terminal in the sleeping MR, since the MR is asleep, the UE uses LP to receive the wake-up signal. After receiving the wake-up signal, it can wake up the MR to perform data transmission and reception operations. In addition, the UE also introduces low power synchronization signals (LP-SS, Synchronization Signals) for synchronization.

[0069] For example, Figure 2 As shown in (a), when UE200 moves in the direction close to base station 100 and begins to enter the coverage area of ​​the wake-up signal sent by base station 100, UE turns off MR and turns on LR, and LR receives the wake-up signal sent by base station 100. Figure 2 As shown in (b), when UE 200 moves away from base station 100 and begins to leave the coverage area of ​​the wake-up signal sent by base station 100, the UE can turn on the Mobile Relay (MR) to receive paging messages. The UE can either keep the LR enabled or turn it off. The protocol specifies that the entry threshold for UE 200 to enter the coverage area of ​​the wake-up signal and the exit threshold for UE 200 to leave the coverage area of ​​the wake-up signal. The relationship between the entry and exit thresholds needs to be discussed.

[0070] In some embodiments, the entry threshold and the exit threshold may be referred to as target reference signal quality thresholds, and the entry threshold and the exit threshold may be the same value or different values. The entry threshold and the exit threshold may be thresholds for parameters such as Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) and Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ).

[0071] The entry threshold and the exit threshold are different values, which can be called equivalent to the entry threshold and the exit threshold. It can be understood that the entry threshold and the exit threshold can also be the threshold values ​​of the target reference signal quality such as RSRP or RSRQ, but are limited by the UE entering and leaving the coverage range of the wake-up signal. The target reference signal quality such as RSRP or RSRQ is monitored by different hardware. The entry threshold and the exit threshold will be different, but there is a mapping relationship between the two, which can indicate that the entry threshold and the exit threshold are the same value. For example, Figure 2The entering threshold value in (a) is RSRP_entry, which can be understood as a threshold value of RSRP monitored by the MR, and the exiting threshold value is LR-RSRP_exit, which can be understood as a threshold value of RSRP monitored by the LR.

[0072] The following is described by taking the entering threshold value as RSRP_entry and the exiting threshold value as LR-RSRP_exit as an example, but this does not constitute a limitation on the threshold value of the target reference signal quality.

[0073] In one case, it is assumed that RSRP_entry < LR-RSRP_exit, as shown in (a), the UE 200 is in the coverage of the wake-up signal, and the MR is closed; the UE moves away from the base station 100, leaves the coverage of the wake-up signal, and the monitored RSRP value is less than LR-RSRP_exit and greater than RSRP_entry, but the MR is still in the closed state, which will cause the UE to receive the wake-up signal outside the coverage of the wake-up signal, and further cause the problem of missing the paging message. Figure 3

[0074] In another case, it is assumed that RSRP_entry = LR-RSRP_exit, the UE is at the boundary of the coverage of the wake-up signal and moves back and forth, and the UE will inevitably frequently switch between 1. opening the MR and closing the LR, and 2. closing the MR and opening the LR. Frequent opening and closing of the MR has the following problems:

[0075] 1. Opening the MR by the UE involves other hardware of the UE, and these hardware all have read-write life, and frequent opening and closing of the MR will cause the life of these hardware to be shortened.

[0076] 2. Frequent opening and closing of the MR will cause unnecessary power consumption.

[0077] As shown in (a), the UE is outside the coverage of the wake-up signal, and the MR is in the open state, and intermittently listens to the paging message, broadcast message, etc. issued by the base station. After detection, the power consumption of one listening of the MR and the measurement of the serving cell is 300. As shown in (b), the UE enters and exits the coverage of the wake-up signal once, when the UE meets the condition of entering the coverage of the wake-up signal, the MR is closed, the LR is opened, and the power consumption is detected to be 5, the UE leaves the coverage of the wake-up signal again, the MR is opened, and it is detected that the power consumption of the opened MR is 15000-40000, and the opened MR also needs to perform a synchronization, and the power consumption of the synchronization is 1000-3000. It is found that: the power consumption of the opened MR + synchronization is 5-8 times that of the listening of the MR. Figure 4 Figure 4

[0078] ​​​To avoid the above two problems, the embodiment of the present application provides a low-power wake-up signal monitoring method. In order to make the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application clearer and easier to understand, the low-power wake-up signal monitoring method provided by the embodiments of the present application will be introduced below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0079] Referring to Figure 5 The flow chart of a low-power wake-up signal monitoring method is shown in FIG. 1. In this method, the base station 100 configures a threshold value of target reference signal quality and a hysteresis duration for the UE 200, the threshold value of target reference signal quality and the hysteresis duration being control parameters of the wake-up signal, for delaying the hysteresis duration after the UE 200 determines that it enters the coverage range of the wake-up signal through the threshold value of target reference signal, and then monitoring the wake-up signal by using the LR and closing the MR. As shown in FIG. 2, the method comprises the following steps. Figure 5

[0080] S501, the base station 100 configures a threshold value of target reference signal quality and a hysteresis duration for the UE 200.

[0081] When the UE camps on a service cell, the base station corresponding to the service cell configures a threshold value of target reference signal quality and a hysteresis duration for the UE; wherein the service cell refers to a cell that provides services for the UE. The UE can be connected to one or more cells, but only one is designated as the service cell, i.e., the cell that mainly provides communication services.

[0082] The threshold value of target reference signal quality belongs to the threshold value for monitoring the wake-up signal by using the LR and controlling the UE to start or stop monitoring the wake-up signal by using the LR and closing the MR. If the target reference signal quality monitored by the UE is greater than the threshold value of target reference signal quality, it indicates that the UE enters the coverage range of the wake-up signal, and the UE then closes the MR and can also control the LR to monitor the wake-up signal. If the target reference signal quality monitored by the UE is less than the threshold value of target reference signal quality, it indicates that the UE leaves the coverage range of the wake-up signal, and the UE then starts the MR and stops monitoring the wake-up signal by using the LR.

[0083] In some embodiments, in the case that the UE stops monitoring the wake-up signal by using the LR, the UE can close the LR or maintain the LR to be turned on, because the running power consumption of the LR is relatively low. Therefore, the threshold value of target reference signal quality can also be understood as being used to indicate whether the UE enters or leaves the coverage range of the wake-up signal, or being understood as being used to control whether to receive or not to receive the wake-up signal.

[0084] In some embodiments, the threshold value of target reference signal quality is one, and the UE detects whether it enters the coverage range of the wake-up signal and whether it leaves the coverage range of the wake-up signal through the threshold value.

[0085] ​In some embodiments, the threshold of the target parameter signal quality comprises an entering threshold and an exiting threshold. For example, when the threshold of the target parameter signal quality is a threshold of RSRP, the entering threshold is referred to as RSRP_entry, and the exiting threshold is referred to as LR-RSRP_exit. The entering threshold and the exiting threshold can be the same or equivalent (i.e., having a mapping relationship). For details, refer to the foregoing description.

[0086] The hysteresis duration can be a positive integer in units of seconds or milliseconds, for example, a value in the range of 0-30 seconds. The hysteresis duration is a delay duration for delaying the closing of the MR when the target reference signal quality monitored by the UE is less than the threshold of the target reference signal quality.

[0087] In some embodiments, the base station 100 sends a broadcast message to the UE 200, and the broadcast message is used to indicate the threshold of the target reference signal quality and the hysteresis duration. One implementation of the broadcast message indicating the threshold of the target reference signal quality and the hysteresis duration can be that the message carries the threshold of the target reference signal quality and the hysteresis duration. In some embodiments, the broadcast message sent by the base station 100 to the UE 200 can be referred to as a system information broadcast (SIB). The SIB indicating the threshold of the target reference signal quality and the hysteresis duration can be SIB1, SIB2, or the like, and is not limited in particular.

[0088] In some embodiments, the base station 100 can send different broadcast messages to the UE 200 to indicate the threshold of the target reference signal quality and the hysteresis duration, respectively, or send one broadcast message to indicate the threshold of the target reference signal quality and the hysteresis duration.

[0089] After the base station 100 configures the threshold of the target parameter signal quality and the hysteresis duration for the UE 200, the UE 100 can use the LR to monitor the low-power wake-up signal and close the MR, or stop using the LR to monitor the low-power wake-up signal and open the MR, based on the threshold of the target parameter signal quality and the hysteresis duration. The following steps S502-S508 provide one implementation.

[0090] S502, the UE 200 acquires the threshold of the target reference signal quality and the hysteresis duration.

[0091] S503, the UE 200 determines whether the target reference signal quality is not less than the threshold of the target reference signal quality.

[0092] The UE 200 can discontinuously monitor the target reference signal quality of the base station 100, and obtain a threshold value of the target reference signal quality and a hysteresis duration. The UE 200 compares the target reference signal quality obtained by the monitoring with the threshold value of the target reference signal quality, to determine whether the target reference signal quality is greater than or equal to the threshold value of the target reference signal quality.

[0093] If the UE 200 determines that the target reference signal quality is greater than or equal to the threshold value of the target reference signal quality, the UE 200 performs step S505, otherwise, the UE 200 performs step S504.

[0094] In some embodiments, the threshold value of the target reference signal quality includes an entering threshold value and an exiting threshold value. The UE 200 determining that the target reference signal quality is not less than the threshold value of the target reference signal quality can refer to determining whether the target reference signal quality is not less than the entering threshold value.

[0095] S504, the UE 200 maintains the MR in the open state.

[0096] The UE 200 determines that the target reference signal quality is less than the threshold value of the target reference signal quality, which indicates that the UE 200 is still outside the coverage range of the wake-up signal. The UE 200 can maintain the MR in the open state, and listen to the paging message or the broadcast message of the UE 100 by the MR.

[0097] S505, the UE 200 does not listen to the wake-up signal by the LR, maintains the MR in the open state, and starts a timer.

[0098] In combination with Figure 6 As shown in FIG. 6, the UE 200 is outside the coverage range of the wake-up signal, and enters the coverage range at t0. The target reference signal quality monitored by the UE is equal to or greater than the threshold value of the target reference signal quality. Generally, when the UE 200 enters the coverage range of the wake-up signal, the UE 200 should close the MR and listen to the wake-up signal by the LR. However, as described above, if the UE 200 repeatedly enters and exits the coverage range of the wake-up signal after entering the coverage range of the wake-up signal, the above two problems will exist. Based on this, after the UE 200 monitors that the target reference signal quality is less than the threshold value of the target reference signal quality, the UE 200 first monitors that the target reference signal quality is not less than the threshold value of the target reference signal quality, does not close the MR, does not listen to the wake-up signal by the LR, maintains the MR in the open state, and starts a timer. The timing duration of the timer is the hysteresis duration.

[0099] It should be noted that the UE 200 starting the timer can be understood as timing the duration of entering the coverage range of the wake-up signal, and determining whether the hysteresis duration is reached.

[0100] S506, the UE 200 determines whether the timing duration of the timer reaches the hysteresis duration.

[0101] After the timer is started, the UE 200 determines whether the timing duration of the timer reaches the hysteresis duration. If the UE 200 determines that the timing duration of the timer reaches the hysteresis duration, the UE 200 performs step S508, otherwise, the UE 200 performs step S507.

[0102] S507, the UE 200 determines whether the target reference signal quality is greater than a threshold of the target reference signal quality.

[0103] If the UE 200 determines that the timing duration of the timer does not reach the hysteresis duration, the UE 200 determines whether the target reference signal quality is greater than the threshold of the target reference signal quality through step S507. If the UE 200 determines that the target reference signal quality is not greater than the threshold of the target reference signal quality, it means that the UE 200 exits from the coverage of the wake-up signal, and the UE 200 can perform step S508. If the UE 200 determines that the target reference signal quality is greater than the threshold of the target reference signal quality, it means that the UE 200 continuously locates in the coverage of the wake-up signal, and the UE 200 returns to perform step S506.

[0104] In some embodiments, step S506 and step S507 can be performed in parallel, and there is no Figure 5 limitation on the order of the steps.

[0105] In some embodiments, the threshold of the target reference signal quality includes an entering threshold and an exiting threshold, and step S507 can be understood as that the UE 200 determines whether the target reference signal quality is less than the exiting threshold. If the target reference signal quality is less than the exiting threshold, the UE 200 performs step S508, otherwise, the UE 200 performs step S506.

[0106] S508, the UE 200 does not listen to the wake-up signal by using the LR, maintains the MR in the on state, and stops the timer.

[0107] In combination with Figure 6 As shown, after the UE 200 enters the coverage of the wake-up signal at t0, the UE 200 exits the coverage at t1. The UE 200 determines that the target reference signal quality is not greater than the threshold of the target reference signal quality, and then the UE 200 stops the timer and clears the timing of the timer.

[0108] After step S508, the UE 200 returns to step S503 to monitor the target reference signal quality again, and determines whether the UE 200 enters the coverage of the wake-up signal by using the criterion that whether the target reference signal quality is not less than the threshold of the target reference signal quality.

[0109] In combination with Figure 6As shown, UE200 enters the coverage of the wake-up signal again at time t2, and UE200 will monitor that the target reference signal quality is greater than the target reference signal quality threshold. UE200 does not use LR to receive the wake-up signal, keeps MR on, and restarts the timer.

[0110] After UE200 enters the coverage range of the wake-up signal at time t2, it maintains in the coverage range for T time, that is, the hysteresis time. UE200 then turns off MR at time t3 when the timer reaches the hysteresis time through the following step S509, and controls LR to receive the wake-up signal.

[0111] S509 : UE200 turns off MR and controls LR to monitor the wake-up signal.

[0112] UE200 determines that the timing duration of the timer reaches the hysteresis duration, which indicates that the duration of UE200 entering the coverage range of the wake-up signal is sufficient, and the MR can be turned off, and the LR can be controlled to receive the wake-up signal.

[0113] In some embodiments, the LR is not limited by the UE 200 entering or exiting the wake-up signal coverage area and remains in the on state. As the UE 200 enters the wake-up signal coverage area, the LR automatically monitors the wake-up signal. Based on this, the UE 200 controlling the LR to receive the wake-up signal can be understood as the LR automatically starting to receive the wake-up signal without the UE 200 issuing a control command.

[0114] In other embodiments, when the UE leaves the coverage of the wake-up signal, the UE 200 turns on the MR and turns off the LR. In this scenario, when the UE 200 enters the coverage of the wake-up signal, it is necessary to control the LR to turn on to monitor the wake-up signal.

[0115] It should be noted that, in the above content, t0, t1, t2 and t3 are several time points on the time axis, which does not limit the time points between them to be close to each other and does not include time intervals.

[0116] In an embodiment of the present application, when the UE enters the coverage range of the wake-up signal, the UE will not turn off the MR immediately, but will delay for a delay time before turning off the MR, and will not use the LR to monitor the wake-up signal. Moreover, within the delay time, if the UE repeatedly enters and exits the coverage range of the wake-up signal, the MR will maintain the MR in the on state, and the MR will receive paging messages or broadcast messages, etc., which can avoid the problem of shortening the life of other hardware of the UE due to frequent opening and closing of the MR, and can also avoid unnecessary power consumption caused by frequent opening and closing of the MR.

[0117] See also Figure 7Another flowchart of the method of monitoring the low-power wake-up signal is shown. In this method, the base station 100 configures the UE 200 with a threshold value of target reference signal quality and a hysteresis duration, which are control parameters of the wake-up signal. After the UE 200 determines that it is out of the coverage of the wake-up signal by the threshold value of target reference signal quality, the UE starts to monitor the wake-up signal by the LR and keeps the MR on for the hysteresis duration, and does not start to monitor the wake-up signal by the LR and turn off the MR until the time duration of starting to monitor the wake-up signal by the LR reaches the hysteresis duration. As shown in the figure, the method comprises the following steps. Figure 7

[0118] S701, the base station 100 configures the UE 200 with a threshold value of target reference signal quality and a hysteresis duration.

[0119] The implementation of step S701 can refer to step S501, which will not be repeated here.

[0120] After the base station 100 configures the UE 200 with a threshold value of target reference signal quality and a hysteresis duration, the UE 100 can monitor the wake-up signal by the LR and control the MR to be turned off or stopped based on the threshold value of target reference signal quality and the hysteresis duration. The following steps S702 to S713 provide an implementation.

[0121] S702, the UE 200 acquires the threshold value of target reference signal quality and the hysteresis duration.

[0122] S703, the UE 200 determines whether the target reference signal quality is not greater than the threshold value of target reference signal quality.

[0123] The UE 200 can intermittently monitor the target reference signal quality of the base station 100 and acquire the threshold value of target reference signal quality and the hysteresis duration. The UE 200 compares the monitored target reference signal quality with the threshold value of target reference signal quality to determine whether the target reference signal quality is not greater than the threshold value of target reference signal quality.

[0124] If the UE 200 determines that the target reference signal quality is less than or equal to the threshold value of target reference signal quality, it means that the UE 200 is out of the coverage of the wake-up signal, and then step S705 is executed, otherwise step S704 is executed.

[0125] In some embodiments, the threshold value of target reference signal quality includes an entry threshold value and an exit threshold value, and the determination of whether the target reference signal quality is not greater than the threshold value of target reference signal quality can refer to whether it is not greater than the exit threshold value.

[0126] ​S704, the UE 200 maintains the MR in the closed state and the LR monitors the wake-up signal.

[0127] The UE 200 monitors the obtained target reference signal quality. If the target reference signal quality is not less than a threshold value of the target reference signal quality, it indicates that the UE 200 continuously locates in the coverage of the wake-up signal, and the MR is maintained in the closed state and the LR monitors the wake-up signal.

[0128] S705, the UE 200 opens the MR and starts a timer.

[0129] The UE 200 monitors the obtained target reference signal quality. If the target reference signal quality is less than or equal to a threshold value of the target reference signal quality for the first time, it indicates that the UE 200 exits the coverage of the wake-up signal, and the MR is opened to receive a paging message or a broadcast message, and the timer is started. The UE also stops monitoring the wake-up signal by the LR.

[0130] S706, the UE 200 judges whether the counting duration of the timer reaches a hysteresis duration.

[0131] After the UE 200 starts the timer, it judges whether the counting duration of the timer reaches a hysteresis duration. After judging that the hysteresis duration is reached, step S707 is performed. If the hysteresis duration is not reached, step S709 is performed.

[0132] S707, the UE 200 judges whether the target reference signal quality is not less than a threshold value of the target reference signal quality.

[0133] The UE 200 exits the coverage of the wake-up signal and meets the hysteresis duration, and the UE 200 judges by step S707 that the target reference signal quality is greater than or equal to the threshold value of the target reference signal quality to determine that the UE 200 enters the coverage of the wake-up signal, and step S708 is performed. Otherwise, it indicates that the UE 200 is always outside the coverage, and the MR is continuously maintained in the opened state.

[0134] In some embodiments, the threshold value of the target reference signal quality includes an entering threshold value and an exiting threshold value, and step S707 can be understood as the UE 200 judging whether the target reference signal quality is greater than or equal to the entering threshold value. If it is greater than or equal to the entering threshold value, step S708 is performed, otherwise the MR is continuously maintained in the opened state.

[0135] S708, the UE 200 closes the MR and controls the LR to monitor the wake-up signal.

[0136] In combination Figure 8As shown, the UE 200 is in the coverage of the wake-up signal, and leaves the coverage at time t0, and the target reference signal quality monitored by the UE is less than the threshold of the target reference signal quality, the UE stops monitoring the wake-up signal by the LR, starts the MR, and starts the timer, and the timing duration of the timer is the hysteresis duration. After that, the UE 200 is always out of the coverage of the wake-up signal, and after the hysteresis duration T expires, the UE 200 enters the coverage of the wake-up signal at time t6, the MR is turned off, and the LR is controlled to monitor the wake-up signal.

[0137] wherein, Figure 8 The timer not running can be understood as that the UE 200 is always out of the coverage of the wake-up signal, and the entering and exiting of the coverage of the wake-up signal causes the UE 200 to start the timer. In this case, the UE 200 determines that the UE 200 enters the coverage of the wake-up signal for the first time by judging that the target reference signal quality is greater than the threshold of the target reference signal quality, the MR is turned off, and the LR is controlled to monitor the wake-up signal. The control of the LR to monitor the wake-up signal can be understood as explained in the corresponding embodiment of the disclosure, which will not be repeated here. Figure 5

[0138] S709, the UE 200 judges whether the target reference signal quality is not less than the threshold of the target reference signal quality.

[0139] After the UE 200 leaves the coverage of the wake-up signal, starts the MR and the timer, it is determined by step S706 that it is in the hysteresis duration, and it is further determined by step S709 whether the UE 200 enters the coverage of the wake-up signal again.

[0140] Wherein, if the UE 200 judges that the target reference signal quality is not less than the threshold of the target reference signal quality, step S710 is executed, and if the UE judges that the target reference signal quality is less than the threshold of the target reference signal quality, it means that the UE 200 is continuously located out of the coverage of the wake-up signal, and the MR is continuously maintained to be turned on, and the LR is continuously maintained to stop monitoring the wake-up signal.

[0141] In some embodiments, the threshold of the target reference signal quality includes an entering threshold and an exiting threshold, and step S709 can be understood as that the UE 200 judges whether the target reference signal quality is not less than the entering threshold. If it is greater than or equal to the entering threshold, S710 is executed, otherwise, the MR is continuously maintained to be turned on, and the LR is continuously maintained to stop monitoring the wake-up signal.

[0142] S710, the UE 200 judges whether the timing duration of the timer reaches the hysteresis duration.

[0143] ​The UE 200 judges that the UE 200 enters the coverage of the wake-up signal again within the hysteresis time length after the timer is started in combination with step S706 and step S709. Step S710 is performed to judge whether the hysteresis time length is reached. If the hysteresis time length is reached, step S711 is performed

[0144] S711, the UE 200 stops the LR from monitoring the wake-up signal and controls the LR to monitor the wake-up signal.

[0145] In combination with Figure 8 As shown in FIG. 7, the UE 200 is in the coverage of the wake-up signal, and leaves the coverage at t0. The target reference signal quality monitored by the UE 200 is less than the threshold of the target reference signal quality. The MR is started, the LR stops monitoring the wake-up signal, and the timer is started. The timer time length is the hysteresis time length. Within the hysteresis time length, the UE 200 enters the coverage at t1. The UE 200 does not stop the MR and does not use the LR to monitor the wake-up signal. After that, the UE 200 is always in the coverage of the wake-up signal. After the hysteresis time length T is over, the LR is controlled to monitor the wake-up signal at t2, and the MR is stopped.

[0146] S712, the UE 200 judges whether the target reference signal quality is not greater than the threshold of the target reference signal quality.

[0147] In the step S712, if the UE 200 judges that the target reference signal quality is less than or equal to the threshold of the target reference signal quality, step S713 is performed.

[0148] In some embodiments, the threshold of the target reference signal quality includes an entering threshold and an exiting threshold. The step S712 can be understood as the UE 200 judging whether the target reference signal quality is less than the exiting threshold. If the target reference signal quality is less than the exiting threshold, step S713 is performed.

[0149] S713, the UE 200 restarts the timer.

[0150] In combination with Figure 8 As shown in FIG. 7, the UE 200 is in the coverage of the wake-up signal, and leaves the coverage at t0. The target reference signal quality monitored by the UE 200 is less than the threshold of the target reference signal quality. The MR is started, the LR stops monitoring the wake-up signal, and the timer is started. The timer time length is the hysteresis time length. Within the hysteresis time length, the UE 200 enters the coverage at t1. The UE 200 does not stop the MR and does not use the LR to monitor the wake-up signal. After that, the UE 200 is always in the coverage of the wake-up signal. After the hysteresis time length T is over, the LR is controlled to monitor the wake-up signal at t2, and the MR is stopped.

[0151] After step S5713, UE200 returns to step S706.

[0152] In the above description, t0, t1, t2, and t6 are several time points on the time axis, and there is no restriction that they must be closely spaced and cannot contain time intervals. Similarly, t3, t4, and t5 are several time points on the time axis, and there is no restriction that they must be closely spaced and cannot contain time intervals.

[0153] In an embodiment of the present application, after the UE leaves the coverage of the wake-up signal, the MR is started, the use of the LR to monitor the wake-up signal is stopped, and a timer is also started. After the timing duration of the timer exceeds the hysteresis duration, the UE enters the coverage of the wake-up signal again, and the UE turns off the MR and uses the LR to monitor the wake-up signal. During the hysteresis duration, when the UE enters the coverage of the wake-up signal, the UE will not immediately turn off the MR, nor use the LR to monitor the wake-up signal. Instead, it will wait until the timing duration of the timer exceeds the hysteresis duration before turning off the MR and using the LR to monitor the wake-up signal. In this way, during the hysteresis duration, when the UE enters and exits the coverage of the wake-up signal, the MR is in the on state to receive paging messages or broadcast messages, which can avoid the problem of shortening the life of other hardware of the UE due to the frequent opening and closing of the MR, and can also avoid unnecessary power consumption caused by the frequent opening and closing of the MR.

[0154] Figure 9 This figure shows a comparison of the power consumption of a UE with and without a hysteresis duration configured.

[0155] Assume that within 30 seconds, the UE enters and exits the coverage of the wake-up signal three times, that is, the UE enters and exits the coverage of the wake-up signal once every 10 seconds.

[0156] like Figure 9 As shown in (a), the power consumption of the MR for monitoring and measuring the serving cell is 300, the power consumption of the LR for receiving the wake-up signal is 5, and the power consumption of the MR when the UE enters and exits the edge of the coverage area of ​​the wake-up signal once is 15000~40000. In addition, when the MR is turned on, it needs to be synchronized once, and the power consumption of the synchronization is 1000~3000.

[0157] Figure 9 As shown in (b), after the MR enters and exits the coverage of the wake-up signal, the MR remains in the on state for the hysteresis period. After 30 seconds, the power consumption of the UE is only Figure 9 16% shown in (a).

[0158] The specific calculation is as follows:

[0159] (30 / 0.6)*300=15000(15000 / 30000) / 3=16%

[0160] The two embodiments above provide two schemes for controlling the monitoring of the wake-up signal based on the threshold value and the hysteresis length of the target reference signal quality, which can avoid the problem of reducing the service life of other hardware of the UE caused by the frequent opening and closing of the MR, and can also avoid unnecessary power consumption caused by the frequent opening and closing of the MR.

[0161] The embodiments of the present application also provide another technical solution to avoid the above two problems. In this technical solution, the base station 100 configures the threshold value of the target reference signal quality and an offset value for the UE 200. In some embodiments, the threshold value of the target reference signal quality configured by the base station 100 includes an entry threshold value and an exit threshold value, and the entry threshold value and the exit threshold value are equivalent. The offset value is an offset value of the entry threshold value of the target reference signal quality. It can be understood that the UE 200 can close the MR and monitor the wake-up signal using the LR only when the target reference signal quality monitored by the UE 200 is greater than or equal to the sum of the entry threshold value and the offset value. In other embodiments, the threshold value of the target reference signal quality configured by the base station 100 includes an entry threshold value, and the UE 200 can obtain an equivalent exit threshold value based on the threshold value. Similarly, the offset value is an offset value of the entry threshold value of the target reference signal quality. The explanation of the equivalence of the entry threshold value and the exit threshold value can be referred to the foregoing content.

[0162] Referring to Figure 10 Another flowchart of the method for monitoring the low-power wake-up signal is shown. The method comprises the following steps:

[0163] S1001, the base station 100 configures a threshold value of a target reference signal quality and an offset value for the UE 200.

[0164] The implementation of the base station 100 configuring data for the UE 200 in step S1001 can be referred to step S501, which will not be described here. The threshold value of the target reference signal quality and the offset value can be referred to the explanation of the foregoing content, which will not be described here.

[0165] After the base station 100 configures the threshold value of the target parameter signal quality and the offset value for the UE 200, the UE 100 can monitor the low-power wake-up signal using the LR based on the threshold value of the target parameter signal quality and the offset value, and close the MR, or stop monitoring the low-power wake-up signal using the LR and open the MR. The following steps S1002 to S1006 provide an implementation.

[0166] S1002, the UE 200 obtains the threshold value of the target reference signal quality and the offset value.

[0167] S1003, the UE 200 judges whether the target reference signal quality is less than the threshold value of the target reference signal quality in the process of receiving the wake-up signal using the LR.

[0168] The UE 200 monitors the target reference signal quality, and compares the target reference signal quality with the exit threshold value to determine whether the UE 200 leaves the coverage of the wake-up signal.

[0169] When the UE 200 determines that the target reference signal quality is less than the exit threshold value, the UE 200 performs step S1004; otherwise, the MR remains in the off state, and the UE 200 monitors the wake-up signal by using the LR, and additionally, performs step S1003 intermittently.

[0170] S1004, the UE 200 turns on the MR, and stops monitoring the wake-up signal by using the LR.

[0171] When the UE 200 determines that the target reference signal quality is less than the exit threshold value, it indicates that the UE 200 leaves the coverage of the wake-up signal, and the UE 200 turns on the MR to receive the paging message or the broadcast message. Of course, the LR can be turned off or remain in the on state, because the UE is not in the coverage of the wake-up signal, and even if the LR is in the on state, it cannot monitor the wake-up signal, and will not interfere with the operation of the MR.

[0172] In combination with FIG. 8, Figure 11 As shown in FIG. 8, the UE is in the coverage of the wake-up signal, and the UE compares the monitored target reference signal quality with the exit threshold value, Figure 11 As shown in FIG. 8, the UE is in the coverage of the wake-up signal, and the UE compares the monitored target reference signal quality with the exit threshold value,

[0173] S1005, the UE 200 determines whether the target reference signal quality is greater than or equal to the threshold value + the offset value in the on state of the MR.

[0174] When the MR is turned on and in the on state, the UE 200 can also determine whether the UE 200 enters the coverage of the wake-up signal based on the monitored target reference signal quality. The UE 200 determines whether the monitored target reference signal quality is greater than or equal to the threshold value + the offset value, and the threshold value is an entry threshold value.

[0175] When the UE 200 determines that the target reference signal quality is greater than or equal to the threshold value + the offset value, the UE 200 performs step S1006.

[0176] S1006, the UE 200 closes the MR, and controls the LR to monitor the wake-up signal.

[0177] The interpretation of the UE 200 controlling the LR to receive the wake-up signal can be as described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0178] In combination with Figure 11 As shown in the figure, the UE is outside the coverage of the wake-up signal, and starts to enter the coverage of the wake-up signal. The target reference signal quality monitored by the UE will increase, and will be greater than the entering threshold value, Figure 11 The entering threshold value is RSRP_entry in the example. The UE also maintains the MR to be open, and receives the paging message or the broadcast message by the MR, until the target reference signal quality monitored by the UE is greater than or equal to the entering threshold value and the offset value. Only in this way, the UE can close the MR, and monitor the wake-up signal by the LR. In this way, the problem that the MR is frequently opened and closed due to the UE repeatedly entering and exiting the edge of the coverage of the wake-up signal, and the problem that the service life of other hardware of the UE is reduced due to the frequent opening and closing of the MR can be avoided. In addition, unnecessary power consumption caused by the frequent opening and closing of the MR can also be avoided.
