[0194] In the embodiments of this application, the term "and / or" describes the relationship between associated objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent three cases: A alone, A and B simultaneously, and B alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following associated objects have an "or" relationship.

[0195] In the embodiments of this application, the term "multiple" refers to two or more, and other quantifiers are similar.

[0196] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0197] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the embodiments of this application, the following description is provided first:

[0198] When a terminal uses a Low Power-Wake-Up Signal (LP-WUS), the terminal's MR (Mobile Receiver) can be in a low-power state, such as being off. In this way, the terminal uses LP-WUS to perform data reception. Since the power consumption of receiving data using LP-WUS is much lower than that of receiving data using MR, using LP-WUS can significantly reduce the terminal's power consumption.

[0199] LP-WUS can be used for synchronization processes, Radio Resource Management (RRM) processes, paging processes, Discontinuous Reception (DRX) processes, and Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) snooping processes.

[0200] This application provides an energy-saving method and apparatus. The method and apparatus are based on the same concept, and since the principles by which they solve the problem are similar, their implementations can be referred to interchangeably; repeated details will not be repeated.

[0201] like Figure 1 As shown, an energy-saving method provided in an embodiment of this application includes:

[0202] Step 11: If the first condition is met, the terminal enters a first state, which is an energy-saving state; wherein the first condition includes at least one of the following:

[0203] The terminal does not have any data to be transmitted;

[0204] The terminal's channel quality is higher than the channel quality threshold;

[0205] The terminal receives a first indication information sent by the network-side device, the first indication information being used to instruct the terminal to enter the first state;

[0206] The bearer established by the terminal is the bearer indicated by the network-side device;

[0207] The third timer timed out.

[0208] Here, the energy-saving transmission state in the connected state can be understood as the terminal being in the connected state and being able to achieve more energy-efficient transmission.

[0209] Thus, by including at least one of the above-mentioned conditions as a first condition, the terminal can enter a first state when the first condition is met, that is, activate terminal energy saving, thereby reducing the power consumption of terminal transmission.

[0210] Optionally, in this embodiment, the first state and the second state refer to the transmission power consumption state of the connected terminal.

[0211] Optionally, the terminal not having data to be transmitted includes at least one of the following:

[0212] The uplink cached data volume of the terminal is zero;

[0213] The terminal does not have uplink or downlink transmission.

[0214] That is, if the uplink buffer data of the terminal is found to be zero, and the terminal does not have at least one of uplink transmission or downlink transmission, then it is considered that the terminal does not have data to be transmitted.

[0215] Optionally, the uplink cache data size of the terminal being zero includes:

[0216] During the first timer operation, the uplink cached data volume is zero;

[0217] The first timer is started when the uplink cached data amount is equal to 0, and stops running when the uplink cached data amount is greater than 0.

[0218] Here, the terminal starts the first timer when the uplink buffer data amount is equal to 0. If the uplink buffer data amount is greater than 0 during the first timer's operation, the terminal will stop the first timer. If the first timer times out, it can be determined that the uplink buffer data amount is zero, and it is assumed that the terminal has no data to be transmitted.

[0219] In this embodiment, the uplink buffered data volume can also be understood as the amount of uplink data to be sent. The uplink buffered data volume can be calculated based on the Buffer Status Report (BSR).

[0220] Optionally, the absence of uplink or downlink transmission in the terminal includes:

[0221] After the second timer times out, there is no uplink or downlink transmission.

[0222] The second timer is started when uplink or downlink transmission ends, or restarted when uplink or downlink transmission occurs.

[0223] Here, the terminal starts a second timer when uplink or downlink transmission ends. If the second timer expires, it can be determined that there is no uplink or downlink transmission, and the terminal is considered to have no data to be transmitted. If uplink or downlink transmission occurs during the second timer's operation, the second timer will restart.

[0224] Furthermore, the absence of uplink and downlink transmissions at the terminal can be used to determine if there is no data to be transmitted.

[0225] Optionally, in this embodiment, the third timer includes at least one of the following:

[0226] Discontinuous reception DRX inactivity timer;

[0227] DRX on duration timer;

[0228] DRX retransmission timer.

[0229] Optionally, in this embodiment, the first state includes at least one of the following:

[0230] Main RF off;

[0231] Low-power RF enable;

[0232] Low-power wake-up signal LP-WUS listening;

[0233] Stop PDCCH listening.

[0234] That is, when the first condition is met, the terminal enters the first state by performing at least one of the following: turning off the main radio frequency, turning on the low-power radio frequency, listening to LP-WUS, and stopping PDCCH listening.

[0235] Low-power radio frequency (LRF) is used to listen for specific signals, meaning the terminal uses LRF to listen for these specific signals. These specific signals include, but are not limited to, LP-WUS, Low Power Synchronization Signal (LP-SS), Synchronization Signal Block (SSB), and Channel Status Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS).

[0236] Optionally, the first indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0237] First time information, the first time information is used to indicate the interval between a first time and a second time; wherein, the first time is the time when the terminal receives the first indication information, and the second time is the time when the terminal enters the first state;

[0238] Signal type information, which indicates that LP-WUS is a signal that triggers the terminal to enter the second state;

[0239] DRX packet information, which is used to indicate DRX packets that have entered the first state;

[0240] Frequency information, which is used to indicate the frequency at which LP-WUS is configured;

[0241] Carrier information, which is used to indicate the carrier entering the first state.

[0242] Thus, if the first indication information includes first time information, the terminal enters the first state after a certain period of time following receipt of the first indication information. This certain period of time is equal to t2-t1, where t1 is the first moment and t2 is the second moment. Specifically, the first time information can be the value of t2-t1, or it can be t2 itself.

[0243] If the first indication information includes signal type information, the terminal can know the type of signal that triggers it to enter the second state, and the terminal enters the second state after receiving LP-WUS.

[0244] If the first indication information includes DRX packet information, the terminal can know which DRX packets have entered the first state. Specifically, taking LP-WUS monitoring as an example, the DRX packet information can be an index of the DRX packets that have entered LP-WUS monitoring, or it can be an index of the DRX packets that have not entered LP-WUS monitoring, in which case the remaining DRX packets enter LP-WUS monitoring.

[0245] If the first indication information includes frequency information, the terminal can know on which frequencies to listen for specific signals, such as LP-WUS.

[0246] If the first indication information includes carrier information, the terminal can know on which carriers it enters the first state. Specifically, taking LP-WUS listening as an example, the carrier information can be the carrier index for entering LP-WUS listening, or it can be the carrier index for not entering LP-WUS listening, in which case LP-WUS listening is entered on the remaining carriers.

[0247] Optionally, in this embodiment, before the terminal enters the first state, it further includes:

[0248] The terminal receives configuration information sent by the network-side device, the configuration information including the configuration of the first condition.

[0249] That is, network-side devices can configure the first condition using this configuration information.

[0250] Optionally, the configuration information includes at least one of the following:

[0251] The channel quality threshold;

[0252] Carrying information;

[0253] First-hand information;

[0254] Information from the first timer;

[0255] Information from the second timer;

[0256] Information from the third timer.

[0257] The channel quality threshold can include thresholds for one or more channel quality metrics for a first signal, such as LP-WUS, LP-SS, SSB, CSI-RS, etc. Channel quality metrics include, but are not limited to, Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP), Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ), and Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR). Furthermore, the target object of channel quality can be the serving cell, the serving beam, or the M optimal (best channel quality) beams, where M can be indicated by network-side equipment or predefined. The channel quality threshold can also be predefined.

[0258] Furthermore, the bearer information is used to indicate the bearer indicated by the network-side device. When the bearer established by the terminal is the bearer indicated by this bearer information, it is determined that the first condition is met. For example, the bearer indicated by the network-side device does not belong to a latency-sensitive service or is not latency-sensitive. Bearer information can also be understood as Radio Resource Block (RB) information.

[0259] The first time information refers to the information used to indicate the interval between the first and second moments, as described above. The first time information can also be predefined. The information for the first timer includes, but is not limited to, the timing duration of the first timer. The information for the first timer can also be predefined. The information for the second timer includes, but is not limited to, the timing duration of the second timer. The information for the second timer can also be predefined.

[0260] It should be noted that the configuration information includes, but is not limited to, the above-mentioned content, and may also include other information such as resource configuration and LP-WUS bearer, which will not be listed here.

[0261] In addition, the configuration information sent by the network-side device may include information on configuring the second condition, where the second state is a non-energy-saving transmission state under the connected state.

[0262] Optionally, in this embodiment, the method further includes:

[0263] After the terminal enters the first state, it enters a second state if a second condition is met. The second state is a non-energy-saving state. The second condition includes at least one of the following:

[0264] The terminal is transmitting uplink data.

[0265] The terminal is transmitting a scheduling request (SR).

[0266] The terminal triggers random access.

[0267] That is, after the terminal enters the first state based on the first condition, it can also enter the second state based on the second condition to meet the transmission requirements.

[0268] The presence of uplink data transmission at the terminal can be understood as the terminal's uplink buffer data volume being non-zero, indicating that the terminal is transmitting uplink data. Specifically, the presence of uplink data transmission can be determined based on the aforementioned method of determining that the terminal's uplink buffer data volume is zero and that the terminal is not transmitting uplink data. For example, if the first timer stops running (either not started or stopped after starting), then the terminal is transmitting uplink data.

[0269] Optionally, the second state includes at least one of the following:

[0270] Main RF enabled;

[0271] Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) eavesdropping.

[0272] That is, the terminal enters the second state by turning on the main radio frequency and / or starting to listen to the PDCCH.

[0273] Optionally, the PDCCH sniffing includes one of the following:

[0274] Listen to the PDCCH after the main RF is turned on;

[0275] Stop listening to LP-WUS and start listening to PDCCH;

[0276] Listen to PDCCH after turning off low-power radio frequency.

[0277] Of course, PDCCH listening can also be independent of the main radio frequency being turned on, the low-power radio frequency being turned off, or the LP-WUS listening being stopped. PDCCH listening means that the terminal directly listens to the PDCCH. That is, the terminal determines to enter the second state based on the second condition, and then directly listens to the PDCCH without waiting for the main radio frequency to be turned on, the low-power radio frequency to be turned off, or the LP-WUS listening to be stopped.

[0278] Optionally, the uplink data includes data triggered by a specific service, which is an emergency service.

[0279] Here, the specific service can be a latency-sensitive service such as an emergency service. In other words, for a specific service with higher latency requirements, the terminal in the first state will enter the second state. Specifically, this could be in a scenario where the bearer has not yet been established, but the terminal knows that the uplink data to be transmitted is data triggered by a specific service. Emergency services include tsunami notifications, earthquake notifications, etc., which will not be listed here.

[0280] The application of the embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to specific scenarios:

[0281] Example 1: The terminal determines whether to enter the first state by checking if there is data to be transmitted.

[0282] Step 1: The network-side device sends configuration information to the terminal.

[0283] The network-side device may send the configuration information to the terminal based on the terminal's signal quality and / or terminal capabilities. It is assumed that the configuration information includes LP-WUS configuration in the connected state, such as resource configuration information, LP-WUS bearer information, and first-time information (the time interval between the terminal receiving LP-WUS and entering the first state).

[0284] Step 2: After receiving the configuration information sent by the network-side device, the terminal stores the configuration information and applies it.

[0285] Step 3: The terminal performs data transmission.

[0286] Step 4: The terminal determines whether there is data to be transmitted. Specific methods for this determination include:

[0287] Method 1: Determine if the uplink (UL) cached data volume is 0.

[0288] Specifically, the terminal can make a judgment based on the BSR calculation results, for example, based on the data volume of the Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) and Radio Link Control (RLC). PDCP includes PDCP Service Data Units (SDUs), PDCP Protocol Data Units (PDUs), and the data volume of PDCP status reports; RLC includes RLC SDUs, RLC PDUs, and the data volume of RLC status reports.

[0289] Optionally, after determining that the UL cache data volume is 0, the terminal starts a first timer. During the operation of the first timer, if the terminal determines that the UL cache data volume is greater than 0, the terminal will stop the first timer. The timing duration of the first timer can be configured according to the network side or predefined, and is not limited here. When the first timer times out, it is determined that the terminal's uplink cache data volume is zero.

[0290] Method 2: Determine if there is downlink (DL) or UL data transmission.

[0291] Specifically, the terminal can start a second timer during data transmission. If the terminal continues to perform DL or UL transmissions, it will restart the second timer. The duration of the second timer can be configured by the network side or predefined; it is not limited here. If no uplink or downlink transmission occurs after the second timer expires, it is determined that the terminal is not performing any uplink or downlink transmissions.

[0292] Method 3: The terminal checks whether the DRX inactivity timer, DRX on duration timer, and DRX retransmission timer are running. If at least one of these three is not running, it is assumed that the terminal has no data to be transmitted.

[0293] Step 5: Based on the judgment result, the terminal enters the first state.

[0294] Specifically, the terminal enters the first state under one of the following circumstances: the first timer times out; the terminal times out under the second timer; or the DRX inactivity timer, DRX on duration timer, and DRX retransmission timer stop running.

[0295] Step 6: If UL data arrives, the terminal will leave the first state and enter the second state.

[0296] Example 2: The terminal determines whether to enter the first state by checking if the channel quality is higher than a channel quality threshold.

[0297] Step 1: The network-side device sends configuration information to the terminal.

[0298] The network-side device can send configuration information to the terminal based on the terminal's signal quality and / or terminal capabilities. This configuration information includes the LP-WUS configuration in the connected state and a channel quality threshold for a first signal. For example, the first signal could be LP-WUS, LP-SS, SSB, CSI-RS, etc. The channel quality threshold can be the serving cell's RSRP, RSRQ, and SINR thresholds, or the serving beam's RSRP, RSRQ, and SINR thresholds, or the optimal M beams' RSRP, RSRQ, and SINR thresholds.

[0299] Step 2: After receiving the configuration information, the terminal stores and applies the configuration information;

[0300] Step 3: The terminal determines whether the channel quality of the first signal is higher than the channel quality threshold for the first signal.

[0301] If the channel quality threshold for the first signal is exceeded, the terminal enters the first state.

[0302] Optionally, the terminal starts a fourth timer after the channel quality is higher than the channel quality threshold for the first signal; if the signal quality is lower than the channel quality threshold for the first signal during the operation of the fourth timer, the terminal stops the fourth timer. During the operation of the fourth timer, the terminal enters the first state.

[0303] Step 4: If the signal quality is lower than the channel quality threshold for the first signal, the terminal will leave the first state and enter the first state.

[0304] Example 3: The terminal determines whether to enter the first state by checking whether the established bearer belongs to a latency-sensitive service.

[0305] Step 1: The network-side device sends configuration information to the terminal.

[0306] The network-side device can send configuration information to the terminal based on the terminal's signal quality and / or terminal capabilities. This configuration information includes LP-WUS configuration information in the connected state and bearer information.

[0307] The bearer information, or RB information, includes a list of RB IDs. The RB list is used to indicate which bearers do not belong to latency-sensitive services (or which bearers are not latency-sensitive).

[0308] Step 2: After receiving the configuration information, the terminal stores and applies the configuration information;

[0309] Step 3: The terminal performs data transmission.

[0310] Step 4: The terminal determines whether the currently established RB belongs to the RB indicated by the RB information.

[0311] If the terminal belongs to the RB indicated by the RB information, then the terminal enters the first state.

[0312] Of course, if it belongs to the RB indicated by the RB information, and the terminal does not transmit UL or DL ​​data, and the channel quality is higher than the channel quality threshold, the terminal enters the first state.

[0313] Step 5: If UL data arrives or the signal quality is below the channel quality threshold, the terminal will leave the first state and enter the second state.

[0314] Example 4: The terminal determines whether to enter the first state by whether it receives the first instruction information.

[0315] Step 1: The network-side device sends configuration information to the terminal.

[0316] The network-side device can send configuration information to the terminal based on the terminal's signal quality and / or terminal capabilities. This configuration information includes the LP-WUS configuration in connected mode.

[0317] Step 2: After receiving the configuration information, the terminal stores and applies the configuration information;

[0318] Step 3: The terminal receives the first indication information sent by the network-side device. The first indication information is used to instruct the terminal to enter the first state, such as instructing the terminal to listen for LP-WUS.

[0319] The first indication information may include:

[0320] 1. First time information, which may be the interval between the moment the terminal receives the first instruction information and the moment it enters the first state.

[0321] 2. Signal type information, indicating that LP-WUS is the signal that triggers the terminal to enter the second state;

[0322] 3. DRX packet information, indicating which DRX packet has entered the first state;

[0323] 4. Frequency information, used to indicate the frequency information of LP-WUS;

[0324] 5. Carrier information, used to indicate which carriers have entered the first state.

[0325] Step 4: After receiving the first indication information, the terminal enters a first state according to the content of the first indication information, such as the LP-WUS listening state, including but not limited to:

[0326] After receiving the first instruction information plus the interval time, the terminal enters the first state.

[0327] Based on the DRX grouping information, the terminal enters the first state in the corresponding DRX group.

[0328] Based on the frequency information, the terminal instructs itself on which frequencies to listen for LP-WUS;

[0329] The terminal enters the first state on the corresponding carrier according to the carrier information.

[0330] Step 5: After receiving the first instruction information, the terminal sends feedback information to the network-side device.

[0331] The feedback information can be from the Media Access Control Control Element (MAC CE) or the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), and there is no limitation on that.

[0332] In this way, the terminal can adjust and enter the first state in a timely manner based on the first condition, thereby activating the terminal's energy-saving purpose.

[0333] like Figure 2 As shown in the figure, an energy-saving method according to an embodiment of this application includes:

[0334] Step 21: The network-side device sends configuration information to the terminal. The configuration information is used to configure a first condition, which is used to determine whether the terminal enters a first state, the first state being an energy-saving state; wherein, the first condition includes at least one of the following:

[0335] The terminal does not have any data to be transmitted;

[0336] The terminal's channel quality is higher than the channel quality threshold;

[0337] The terminal receives a first indication information sent by the network-side device, the first indication information being used to instruct the terminal to enter the first state;

[0338] The bearer established by the terminal is the bearer indicated by the network-side device;

[0339] The third timer timed out.

[0340] In this way, the terminal can determine the first condition by receiving configuration information from the network side, and based on the first condition, it can adjust to enter the first state in a timely manner to achieve the purpose of energy saving.

[0341] Optionally, the configuration information includes at least one of the following:

[0342] The channel quality threshold;

[0343] Carrying information;

[0344] First-hand information;

[0345] Information from the first timer;

[0346] Information from the second timer;

[0347] Information from the third timer.

[0348] The channel quality threshold can include thresholds for one or more channel quality indicators of a first signal. The first signal can be LP-WUS, LP-SS, SSB, CSI-RS, etc.; the channel quality indicators include, but are not limited to, RSRP, RSRQ, SINR. Furthermore, the target object of channel quality can be the serving cell, the serving beam, or the M optimal (best channel quality) beams, where M can be indicated by the network-side equipment or predefined. The channel quality threshold can also be predefined.

[0349] Furthermore, bearer information is used to indicate the bearer indicated by the network-side device. When the bearer established by the terminal is the bearer indicated by this bearer information, it is determined that the first condition is met. For example, the bearer indicated by the network-side device does not belong to a latency-sensitive service or is not latency-sensitive. Bearer information can also be understood as RB information.

[0350] The first time information refers to the information used to indicate the interval between the first and second moments, as described above. The first time information can also be predefined. The information for the first timer includes, but is not limited to, the timing duration of the first timer. The information for the first timer can also be predefined. The information for the second timer includes, but is not limited to, the timing duration of the second timer. The information for the second timer can also be predefined.

[0351] It should be noted that the configuration information includes, but is not limited to, the above-mentioned content, and may also include other information such as resource configuration and LP-WUS bearer, which will not be listed here.

[0352] In addition, network-side devices can also be configured with a second condition, which is a non-energy-saving transmission state under the connected state.

[0353] Optionally, the third timer includes at least one of the following:

[0354] Discontinuous reception DRX inactive timer;

[0355] DRX duration timer;

[0356] DRX retransmission timer.

[0357] It should also be noted that this method is implemented in conjunction with the method executed by the terminal described above. The implementation of the above method embodiments is applicable to this method and can achieve the same technical effect.

[0358] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, an energy-saving method according to an embodiment of this application includes:

[0359] Step 31: After the terminal enters the first state, it enters the second state if a second condition is met. The first state is an energy-saving state, and the second state is a non-energy-saving state. The second condition includes at least one of the following:

[0360] The terminal is transmitting uplink data.

[0361] The terminal is transmitting a scheduling request (SR).

[0362] The terminal triggers random access.

[0363] That is, after the terminal enters the first state, it will enter the second state based on the second condition, thereby deactivating the terminal to save energy and meeting the transmission requirements.

[0364] In this context, the terminal engages in uplink data transmission, which can be understood as the terminal having a non-zero uplink buffer data size, indicating that the terminal is transmitting uplink data. Specifically, this can be based on the above... Figure 1 In this method embodiment, the presence of uplink data transmission is determined by judging whether the uplink buffer data volume of the terminal is zero or whether the terminal is not transmitting uplink data. For example, if the first timer stops running (either not started or stopped after being started), then the terminal is transmitting uplink data.

[0365] Optionally, the second state includes at least one of the following:

[0366] Main RF enabled;

[0373] Of course, PDCCH listening can also be independent of the main radio frequency being turned on, the low-power radio frequency being turned off, or the LP-WUS listening being stopped. PDCCH listening means that the terminal directly listens to the PDCCH. That is, the terminal determines to enter the second state based on the second condition, and then directly listens to the PDCCH without waiting for the main radio frequency to be turned on, the low-power radio frequency to be turned off, or the LP-WUS listening to be stopped.
