[0063] For ease of understanding, the following describes some aspects of the embodiments of this application:

[0064] 1. Low power wake-up receiver (LP WUR).

[0065] The basic working principle of LP WUR is as follows: the receiver consists of a first module and a second module. The first module is the main communication module, used to receive and transmit communication data from the transmitter. The second module is a low-power module, used to receive the low-power wake-up signal (LP-WUS) and the low-power synchronization signal (LP-SS) sent by the transmitter. The LP-WUS wake-up signal is used to wake up the receiver's main communication module, and the LP-SS provides time reference information and other information for receiving the LP-WUS wake-up signal. For example, it is used for radio resource management (RRM) measurements of the serving cell, and can also provide wake-up link management, such as determining whether to activate or deactivate LP-WUR based on measurement results, or to shut down the main receiver (MR). The first module remains in a closed state when not woken up by the second module, and does not transmit or receive data. When downlink data arrives, the second module detects the wake-up signal sent by the transmitter, and if this wake-up signal contains information about the terminal, the second module triggers the first module to switch from the closed state to the active state, enabling data reception and transmission. The second module can be turned on continuously or intermittently. When the second module is turned on, it can receive low-power wake-up signals and low-power synchronization signals.

[0066] II. Low-power wake-up signal.

[0067] In this embodiment, WUS can be a low-power wake-up signal (Low Power WUS, LP-WUS).

[0068] To reduce receiving activity in standby mode and effectively shut down the radio frequency (RF) and modem modules, thereby significantly reducing power consumption during communication reception, this can be achieved by introducing the aforementioned low-power receiver into the terminal's receiver module. In one embodiment, this near-zero power receiver does not require complex RF module signal detection (such as amplification, filtering, quantization, etc.) or modem signal processing; it relies solely on passive matched filtering and low-power signal processing.

[0069] In one embodiment, the low-power wake-up signal is typically a simple on-off keying (OOK) signal, allowing the receiver to detect the wake-up notification through simple energy detection and subsequent sequence detection and identification. In another embodiment, the low-power wake-up signal can be an FSK signal, an OFDM signal, or a mixture of OFDM and OOK or FSK signals. Furthermore, while the terminal activates the low-power receiver to receive the wake-up signal, the main receiver module can maintain a low power consumption level, thereby achieving power savings through receiving the wake-up signal.

[0070] The reception of low-power wake-up signals can be applied to terminals in RRC idle or RRC inactive states, as well as terminals in RRC connected states, thereby achieving terminal energy saving.

[0071] III. Connected Discontinuous Reception (C-DRX) in Connected Mode on the Terminal Side.

[0072] C-DRX allows the terminal to periodically enter a sleep state, not listening to the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH). When it needs to listen, it wakes up from the sleep state, thus saving power.

[0073] Optionally, the aforementioned sleep state refers to the terminal not monitoring the PDCCH, and the PDCCH not monitored is a PDCCH scrambled by the following Radio Network Tempory Identity (RNTI): C-RNTI, CI-RNTI, CS-RNTI, INT-RNTI, SFI-RNTI, SP-CSI-RNTI, TPC-PUCCH-RNTI, TPC-PUSCH-RNTI, TPC-SRS-RNTI, AI-RNTI, SL-RNTI, SL-CS-RNTI, SL Semi-Persistent Scheduling V-RNTI, and cellDTRX-RNTI.

[0074] The aforementioned wake-up refers to the time the terminal is "awake," used to monitor the PDCCH and other components. This awake time is collectively called the active time, which includes the following situations:

[0075] DRX-onDurationTimer: At this time, the UE is monitoring whether there is a PDCCH;

[0076] DRX Inactivity Timer: At this time, the UE has detected the PDCCH and is receiving downlink data;

[0077] DRX Downlink Retransmission Timer (drx-RetransmissionTimerDL) or DRX Uplink Retransmission Timer (drx-RetransmissionTimerUL): The terminal is currently waiting for a retransmission.

[0078] Random access contention resolution timer (ra) or message B response window (msgB): At this time, the UE is waiting to receive Msg2 or Msg4;

[0079] The scheduling request (SR) is sent on the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH): After the terminal sends the SR, the UE is waiting for uplink and downlink grants.

[0080] After a non-contention-based random access terminal receives a Rach access response (RAR): At this time, the UE is waiting to receive C-RNTI scrambled Downlink Control Information (DCI) to indicate uplink resource scheduling.

[0081] IV. R17 PDCCH skipping indication.

[0082] PDCCH skipping is a method to save energy by skipping PDCCH listening at certain time intervals through PDCCH skipping-related indicators in the DCI. For example, the PDCCH skipping DCI can be used to indicate skipping PDCCH listening within the next 4, 8, 16 slots or ms. Skipping listening means not listening. PDCCH skipping can only be applied to PDCCHs corresponding to Type 3-PDCCH CSS sets or UE-specific search space (USS sets).

[0083] There are two types of terminal behaviors corresponding to the PDCCH skipping indication bits. One type is all zero bits, which corresponds to the terminal behavior of not skipping PDCCH. The other type is non-all zero bits, which corresponds to the terminal behavior of skipping PDCCH (PDCCH corresponding to Type3-PDCCH CSS sets or USS sets) listening within a specific time interval.

[0084] V. DRX group.

[0085] A terminal can be configured with multiple serving cells to transmit data across these cells. For DRX applications under CA, the current standard specifies that a DRX group can include one or more serving cells. Within a DRX group, the terminal's DRX onduration and DRX inactivity timers are simultaneously started and stopped across the entire DRX group. However, the timers for each Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) process are maintained (started, restarted, or stopped) independently by the HARQ process of each serving cell, including the DRX HARQ RTT timer and DRXRetransmission Timer.

[0086] Network-side devices can configure up to two DRX groups for a terminal. When the network-side device is configured with only one DRX group, all serving cells of the terminal belong to this single DRX group. If the network-side device is configured with two DRX groups, then the drx-onDurationTimer and drx-InactivityTimer for these two DRX groups are configured independently. However, all other DRX-related timers are shared between the two DRX groups.

[0087] The application of LP-WUS monitoring in connected-mode CA case is currently under discussion, but the design for starting, stopping, and resuming LP-WUS monitoring applications across multiple serving cells has not yet been discussed.

[0088] Terminals may not be able to simultaneously monitor PDCCH and WUS on the same frequency band. WUS can control PDCCH monitoring on multiple serving cells, while R17 PDCCH skipping controls skipping PDCCH monitoring on a single serving cell. Therefore, if R17 PDCCH skipping signaling implicitly activates LP-WUS monitoring, the terminal will need to monitor both PDCCH and WUS simultaneously. For example, under CA, serving cell 1 receives PDCCH skipping, implicitly activating WUS monitoring, while serving cell 2 does not receive PDCCH skipping and is required to continue monitoring PDCCH. If the terminal performs WUS listening on serving cell 1 and PDCCH listening on serving cell 2, the terminal will need to simultaneously perform low-power listening and NR signal listening on different frequency bands. Simultaneously receiving WUS and PDCCH may require additional hardware considerations, especially when sharing certain RF front-end modules, where the WUS and PDCCH are similar whether in the same or different frequency bands. Therefore, to avoid additional constraints on hardware implementation, corresponding designs have been implemented, and the transmission processing method of this application is proposed.

[0089] The transmission processing method provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through some embodiments and application scenarios.

[0090] Reference Figure 2 This application provides a transmission processing method, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the transmission processing method includes:

[0091] When the terminal detects the wake-up signal WUS, it performs physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring on the terminal's first serving cell group.

[0092] The first serving cell group includes at least one of the following:

[0093] All serving cells of the terminal;

[0094] The serving cell that receives the WUS belongs to the same frequency range as the serving cell;

[0095] The serving cell that belongs to the same cell group as the serving cell receiving the WUS.

[0096] In this embodiment, the terminal can listen for WUS on frequency domain resources or serving cells configured for WUS monitoring. When a WUS is detected and used to wake up the terminal, the terminal performs PDCCH monitoring in the first cell group based on the WUS. Here, "the terminal detects a WUS and the WUS is used to wake up the terminal" can be understood as the terminal detecting a WUS associated with the terminal.

[0097] Optionally, the serving cell of the terminal mentioned in the embodiments of this application can be understood as the serving cell in which the terminal is configured and activated.

[0098] Optionally, the first serving cell group may include one or at least two serving cells.

[0099] Optionally, a serving cell belonging to the same frequency range as the serving cell receiving the WUS can be understood as a serving cell within the target frequency range, where the target frequency range is the frequency range corresponding to the serving cell receiving the WUS.

[0100] Optionally, the serving cell that belongs to the same cell group as the serving cell that receives the WUS can be understood as the serving cell corresponding to the target DRX group, and the serving cell that receives the WUS belongs to the target DRX group.

[0101] Optionally, the above-mentioned PDCCH listening can be understood or replaced as resuming, starting, or falling back to PDCCH listening.

[0102] This application embodiment enables a terminal to perform Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) monitoring on a first serving cell group when a Wake-up Signal (WUS) is detected. The first serving cell group includes at least one of the following: all serving cells of the terminal; serving cells belonging to the same frequency range as the serving cell receiving the WUS; and serving cells belonging to the same cell group as the serving cell receiving the WUS. By clarifying the behavior of the WUS in different cells, the behavior of multiple serving cells of the terminal can be controlled by a single WUS, thereby reducing the terminal's power consumption for WUS monitoring. Simultaneously, by controlling the terminal's PDCCH monitoring on the first serving cell group through WUS, wake-up control of the terminal in CA state can be achieved. Therefore, this application embodiment can reduce the terminal's power consumption in CA state.

[0103] Optionally, in some embodiments, performing PDCCH monitoring includes:

[0104] The terminal starts a PDCCH listening timer;

[0105] The terminal listens to the PDCCH during the execution of the PDCCH listening timer.

[0106] In this embodiment, the PDCCH listening timer can be a traditional related timer, such as a DRX onduration timer or a DRX inactivity timer; alternatively, the PDCCH listening timer can be a newly defined timer used for PDCCH listening triggered by WUS. Optionally, by using the PDCCH listening timer to control the PDCCH listening time, WUS listening can be resumed after the PDCCH listening timer expires, thereby further achieving energy saving in the terminal.

[0107] Optionally, the PDCCH listening timer is configured for the first serving cell group. That is, the PDCCH listening timer performs timer operations synchronously on the first serving cell group, including actions such as starting, pausing, stopping, or resuming.

[0108] Optionally, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0109] If the PDCCH listening timer expires, or if the first indication information is received, the terminal performs the target operation;

[0110] The target operation includes at least one of the following: performing WUS listening; skipping PDCCH listening on the second serving cell group of the terminal;

[0111] The second serving cell group includes at least one of the following:

[0112] The first serving cell group;

[0113] All serving cells of the terminal;

[0114] The serving cell scheduled by the downlink control information (DCI) carrying the first indication information;

[0115] The serving cell where the first indication information is located;

[0116] Configure or support the serving cell for the first indication information.

[0117] In one embodiment, the type of the second serving cell differs depending on whether the PDCCH listening timer expires or the first indication information is received.

[0118] In this embodiment, WUS listening can be understood or replaced as the terminal resuming, starting, or falling back to WUS listening. For example, in some embodiments, when the PDCCH listening timer expires, the terminal resumes, starts, or falls back to WUS listening. Optionally, in some embodiments, when the PDCCH listening timer expires, the terminal listens for WUS on a specific serving cell, or the terminal listens for WUS on a specific frequency domain resource. In one case, the frequency domain listening location where WUS is located is outside the frequency domain resource where the terminal's serving cell is located.

[0119] Optionally, in some embodiments, the second serving cell group described above may include serving cells configured for WUS monitoring.

[0120] Optionally, a specific frequency domain resource can be understood as a frequency domain resource configured for WUS monitoring, and a specific serving cell can be understood as a serving cell configured for WUS monitoring.

[0121] Optionally, the frequency domain resources where the WUS resides can be in a serving cell or a non-serving cell. In one scenario, the cell where the WUS resides cannot be deactivated or enter a dormant or dormancy state, i.e., it cannot switch to a dormant BWP. Alternatively, the WUS's monitoring is not affected by serving cell activation or deactivation. Or, the WUS's monitoring is not affected by serving cell BWP handover or serving cell dormancy state switching.

[0122] It should be understood that, when the target operation is triggered based on the expiration of the aforementioned PDCCH listening timer, the second serving cell group may include at least one of the first serving cell group and all serving cells of the terminal. When the target operation is triggered based on the first indication information, the aforementioned second serving cell group can be understood as the serving cell that applies the aforementioned first indication information. The aforementioned second serving cell group may include at least one of the following: the first serving cell group; all serving cells of the terminal; the serving cell scheduled by the downlink control information (DCI) carrying the first indication information; the serving cell where the first indication information is received; and the serving cell that configures or supports the first indication information. Optionally, the cell associated with performing the target operation may be a serving cell that supports the first indication information.

[0123] Optionally, in some embodiments, the network-side device may configure or indicate serving cells to which the first indication information can be applied. The serving cells to which the first indication information can be applied can be understood or replaced by serving cells that support the first indication information. For example, the network-side device configures a list of serving cells to which the first indication information applies. It is understood that if one or more serving cells of the terminal are not in the list of serving cells to which the first indication information applies, or if one or more serving cells of the terminal do not support the first indication information, then the first indication information will not be applied to these cells, i.e., the target operation will not be performed based on the first indication information. Specifically, the network-side device may send second indication information to the terminal, the second indication information being used to indicate the aforementioned list of serving cells.

[0124] In this embodiment, since the terminal is triggered to perform the target operation by the PDCCH listening timer or the first indication information, the terminal can return to performing at least one of the actions of skipping PDCCH and performing WUS listening, thereby further reducing the power consumption of the terminal.

[0125] Optionally, in some embodiments, receiving the first indication information includes receiving the first indication information on at least one serving cell of the terminal or on a specific serving cell of the terminal.

[0126] In this embodiment, the aforementioned specific serving cell can be understood as a serving cell configured with the first indication information, or a serving cell indicated by a network-side device. For example, the specific serving cell receiving the first indication information can be any serving cell or a primary serving cell, etc.

[0127] Optionally, the terminal performing WUS monitoring includes:

[0128] The terminal performs WUS monitoring on frequency domain resources or serving cells configured for WUS monitoring.

[0129] In this embodiment, since WUS monitoring is performed on frequency domain resources or serving cells configured with WUS monitoring, the terminal can exit the PDCCH monitoring state after completing PDCCH monitoring, thereby reducing the terminal's power consumption.

[0130] Optionally, the aforementioned frequency domain resources or serving cells can be agreed upon by the protocol or pre-configured by the network-side equipment.

[0131] Optionally, in some embodiments, the terminal performs WUS monitoring on frequency domain resources or serving cells configured for WUS monitoring, including:

[0132] Upon receiving the first indication information, the terminal performs WUS monitoring on the frequency domain resources or serving cell configured for WUS monitoring, where the first indication information is a skip PDCCH monitoring indication information.

[0133] Optionally, the aforementioned skip PDCCH listening indication information can utilize existing skip PDCCH listening indication (R17PDCCH skipping indication) bits, but with a different function than the existing R17 PDCCH skipping indication. Alternatively, the aforementioned skip PDCCH listening indication information can be a newly defined skip PDCCH listening indication information. Specifically, the function of the R17 PDCCH skipping indication can be expanded or modified in at least one of the following ways:

[0134] 1) Compared to the existing R17 PDCCH skipping indication which applies to one serving cell, the scope of the skip PDCCH moitoring indication mentioned in this application embodiment has been expanded, for example, it applies to all serving cells, that is, skip PDCCH moitoring on all serving cells.

[0135] 2) Compared with the existing R17 PDCCH skipping indication indicating skipping PDCCH listening for a certain duration, the skipping PDCCH listening indication mentioned in this application embodiment does not limit the duration of skipping PDCCH, or can be understood as skipping an infinitely long PDCCH listening, or it is agreed that the terminal ignores the skipping PDCCH duration indicated by the existing R17 PDCCH skipping indication.

[0136] 3) Compared with the existing R17 PDCCH skipping indication which is only used to instruct the terminal to skip PDCCH listening, the skipping PDCCH listening indication mentioned in this application embodiment extends its function to: instruct the terminal to skip PDCCH listening and also instruct to start WUS listening, or instruct the terminal to start or resume WUS listening after the duration of skipping PDCCH ends.

[0137] 4) Compared to the existing network's configurable PDCCH skipping duration, an "infinite state" is further added. In one embodiment, if the terminal receives a skip PDCCH listening indication of "infinite state" in any serving cell or in the primary serving cell, the terminal will skip or stop PDCCH listening on all serving cells and start LP-WUS listening.

[0138] Optionally, in some embodiments, if the first indication information can be newly defined indication information, for example, the first indication information is called WUS enable, activation, or application indication information, then the function of the WUS enable, activation, or application indication information includes at least one of the following: instructing all serving cells to skip PDCCH listening; instructing serving cells or frequency resources configured with WUS listening to start WUS listening. Further, instructing all serving cells to skip PDCCH listening can be understood as not limiting the duration of skipping PDCCH listening, or instructing to skip an infinitely long period of PDCCH listening.

[0139] Optionally, in some embodiments, the skip PDCCH listening duration indicated in the skip PDCCH listening indication information is either infinite or a specific state, wherein the specific state is used to indicate that the skip PDCCH listening duration is not limited, or the skip PDCCH listening indication information does not limit the duration of skip PDCCH listening.

[0140] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the terminal receives the first instruction information mentioned above on any serving cell or on a Pcell, the terminal performs a stop / skip PDCCH monitoring on all serving cells and starts WUS monitoring.

[0141] In this embodiment, the skip PDCCH monitoring indication information can indicate skipping PDCCH monitoring for an indefinite period of time. That is, when the PDCCH monitoring timer expires, or when the first indication information is received, the terminal skips PDCCH monitoring for an indefinite period of time. Furthermore, the terminal can terminate skipping PDCCH monitoring if it subsequently receives other indication information.

[0142] Optionally, in some embodiments, the terminal performing WUS monitoring on a serving cell configured with WUS monitoring includes:

[0143] The terminal skips PDCCH monitoring for a period of time on the serving cell configured with WUS monitoring according to the instruction of the first instruction information, and performs WUS monitoring when or after the end of skipping PDCCH monitoring.

[0144] Optionally, the above time period can be a value that is not infinitely long.

[0145] In one embodiment, if the PDCCH listening timer expires, or if a first indication is received, the terminal will continuously skip PDCCH listening on a serving cell that is not configured for WUS listening, until an event is triggered or an indication is received to return to PDCCH listening.

[0146] Optionally, in some embodiments, the start time of WUS monitoring is the end time of the last PDCCH skipping session in the target serving cell, or the start time of WUS monitoring is after the end time of the last PDCCH skipping session in the target serving cell, where the target serving cell is a serving cell configured with WUS monitoring. For example, if the terminal is configured with WUS monitoring on multiple serving cells, and the duration of PDCCH skipping session is different on the multiple serving cells, then the start time of WUS monitoring is based on the end time of the last PDCCH skipping session on those multiple serving cells.

[0147] In this embodiment, the network-side device can configure different lengths of skip PDCCH listening time for different serving cells applying the first indication information. On the serving cell configured with WUS listening, WUS listening is executed, resumed, or started after the longest skip PDCCH listening time has ended. For example, the target serving cells include cell 1 and cell 2. Cell 1 skips PDCCH listening at time 1, and cell 2 skips PDCCH listening at time 2. If time 1 is before time 2, WUS listening starts at time 2, that is, time 2 is the start time of WUS listening.

[0148] Optionally, the end time of the last PDCCH skipping in the target serving cell can be understood as: the actual end time of the last PDCCH skipping in the target serving cell, or the end time of the time unit in which the actual end time of the last PDCCH skipping in the target serving cell ends.

[0149] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the skip PDCCH listening duration indicated by the skip PDCCH listening indication is a specific value, the terminal does not perform WUS listening during the skip PDCCH listening duration;

[0150] The specific value is used to indicate the duration of the PDCCH listening limit.

[0151] In the embodiments of this application, the above-mentioned specific values ​​can be understood as the duration of a non-infinite time.

[0152] It should be understood that if the duration of skipping PDCCH listening is not limited, or if the duration of skipping PDCCH listening is infinite, then the terminal will directly perform WUS listening after the PDCCH listening timer expires or after receiving the first indication information.

[0153] Optionally, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0154] If, after receiving a skip PDCCH listening indication message indicating to skip PDCCH listening for a certain duration, the terminal receives a WUS message for waking up the terminal, the terminal performs at least one of the following:

[0155] Skip PDCCH listening for a certain duration according to the skip PDCCH listening indication information;

[0156] Skip PDCCH listening for a certain duration according to the skip PDCCH listening indication information, and start PDCCH listening again when the skip PDCCH listening duration ends;

[0157] Ignore the detected WUS;

[0158] PDCCH listening is initiated according to the WUS.

[0159] In another embodiment of this application, the operation is performed as follows: if the terminal receives a skip PDCCH listening indication message indicating to skip PDCCH listening for a certain duration before receiving the WUS for waking up the terminal, then the above operation is performed; or, if the terminal receives a WUS for waking up the terminal within the skip PDCCH listening period indicated by the skip PDCCH listening indication message, then the above operation is performed.

[0160] For example, if the terminal receives a skip PDCCH listening instruction indicating a period of time to skip PDCCH listening before receiving a WUS for waking up the terminal, the terminal skips the PDCCH listening for a period of time according to the skip PDCCH listening instruction and starts PDCCH listening when the skip PDCCH listening period ends; or, if the terminal receives a WUS for waking up the terminal during the period of skip PDCCH listening indicated by the skip PDCCH listening instruction, the terminal skips the PDCCH listening for a period of time according to the skip PDCCH listening instruction and starts PDCCH listening when the skip PDCCH listening period ends.

[0161] Optionally, in some embodiments, if the PDCCH listening timer expires after the terminal receives a skip PDCCH listening indication message indicating that PDCCH listening for a certain duration is skipped, or if the terminal receives a first indication message, the terminal performs at least one of the following:

[0162] Skip PDCCH listening for a certain duration according to the skip PDCCH listening indication information;

[0163] Skip PDCCH listening for a certain period of time according to the skip PDCCH listening instruction information, and start WUS listening when the skip PDCCH listening period ends;

[0164] Ignore the detected first indication information or ignore the expiration of the PDCCH monitoring timer;

[0165] WUS listening begins upon the expiration of the PDCCH listening timer or upon the first indication information.

[0166] In another embodiment of this application, the operation is performed as follows: if the PDCCH listening timer expires before the terminal receives the WUS for waking up the terminal or the terminal receives the first indication information, the above operation is performed; or, if the terminal receives the WUS for waking up the terminal after the PDCCH listening timer expires or the terminal receives the first indication information, the above operation is performed.

[0167] For example, if the PDCCH listening timer expires before the terminal receives the WUS for waking up the terminal, or if the terminal receives the first indication information, then the PDCCH listening is skipped for a certain period of time according to the skip PDCCH listening indication information, and the WUS listening begins when the skip PDCCH listening period ends; or, if the terminal receives the WUS for waking up the terminal after the PDCCH listening timer expires or the terminal receives the first indication information, then the PDCCH listening is skipped for a certain period of time according to the skip PDCCH listening indication information, and the WUS listening begins when the skip PDCCH listening period ends.

[0168] Optionally, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0169] The terminal receives WUS configuration information;

[0170] The terminal detects WUS based on the WUS configuration information;

[0171] Wherein, the WUS configuration information satisfies any one of the following:

[0172] The WUS configuration information includes at least two sets of WUS configurations. Each WUS configuration corresponds one-to-one with a frequency range or a discontinuous reception DRX group. The WUS is used to instruct the serving cell of the DRX group or frequency range corresponding to the associated WUS configuration to enable PDCCH listening.

[0173] The WUS configuration information includes a set of WUS configurations, which are used to instruct at least one DRX group or at least one frequency range of serving cells to enable PDCCH monitoring.

[0174] Furthermore, in this embodiment, each DRX group or frequency range in the WUS is associated with a different indicator bit, or each DRX group or frequency range in the WUS corresponds to the same indicator bit. That is, the WUS indicates the activation of PDCCH listening for each serving cell of each FR or for each DRX group. Alternatively, all serving cells share the same WUS indication. Or, the WUS carries index information of the first serving cell group indicating the activation of PDCCH listening.

[0175] Optionally, in this embodiment, one or more WUS monitoring configurations can be used. These multiple WUS monitoring configurations can be configured on the same or different cell or frequency domain resources. Different WUS monitoring configurations control or act on different serving cells or serving cell groups.

[0176] Optionally, in some embodiments, the network-side device can configure the PDCCH listening timer separately for each serving cell group in which the terminal is located at different frequency ranges. For example, this may include at least one of the following:

[0177] Configure a PDCCH listening timer for the serving cell group of FR1;

[0178] Configure an additional PDCCH listening timer for the serving cell group of FR2.

[0179] To better understand this application, the implementation process of this application will be illustrated through some examples below.

[0180] Example 1, as Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, WUS operates on all serving cells of the terminal, that is, instructing the terminal to start PDCCH listening on its serving cells. The method for starting PDCCH listening can be based on starting a PDCCH listening timer, which is configured for all serving cells of the terminal. During the timer's execution, the terminal listens for PDCCH on its serving cells. When the timer expires, the terminal performs at least one of the following operations: stops or exits PDCCH listening on all serving cells; starts WUS listening on all serving cells. Figure 3 As shown, if the network-side device is configured to perform WUS listening on the Pcell, then when the timer expires, the terminal will resume WUS listening on the serving cell configured with WUS, and skip PDCCH listening on the serving cells not configured with WUS listening (such as scell1 and scell2).

[0181] Example 2, as Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the network-side device configures two groups (cell groups or DRX groups) for the terminal. Each group has its own configured PDCCH listening timer length. Furthermore, WUS is configured to listen on two cells within each of the two groups. WUS issues wake-up instructions for each of the two groups separately.

[0182] In another embodiment, in this scenario, the network-side device configures WUS listening on only one cell in a group, and the WUS carries WUS indication information for both groups respectively.

[0183] Optionally, the WUS instructs the initiation of PDCCH monitoring for the first serving cell group, where the start time for PDCCH monitoring on different serving cells can be the same or different. For example, if the WUS is received at time n, serving Cell 1 starts monitoring the PDCCH at time n1, and cell 2 starts monitoring the PDCCH at time n2. In some cases, the difference may be due to the different frequency bands of the serving cells, resulting in different latency for the terminal to initiate PDCCH monitoring on different frequency bands; the specific reasons are not limited.

[0184] Optionally, in some embodiments, WUS configuration is not supported when a terminal is configured with multiple FR serving cells. For example, WUS listening configuration is not supported in... Figure 4 Applications described in the embodiments. For example, WUS listening is only supported for configuration and application on FR1.

[0185] Example 3, as Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, WUS operates on all serving cells of the terminal, that is, instructing the terminal to start PDCCH listening on its serving cells. Further, the method for skipping PDCCH listening or switching from PDCCH listening to WUS listening can be based on a first indication message, the indication of which applies to all serving cells of the terminal. When the terminal receives the first indication message on a serving cell, it performs at least one of the following according to the indication: exiting or skipping PDCCH listening on all serving cells of the terminal; or starting WUS listening on all serving cells of the terminal. Further, as... Figure 5 As shown, the network-side device is configured to perform WUS listening on the Pcell. When the terminal receives the first indication information, the terminal resumes WUS listening on the serving cell configured with WUS, and skips PDCCH listening on the serving cells that are not configured with WUS listening (such as scell1 and scell2).

[0186] Example 4, as Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, WUS operates on all serving cells of the terminal, that is, instructing the terminal to start PDCCH listening on its serving cells. The method for skipping PDCCH listening or switching from PDCCH listening to WUS listening can be based on a first indication message, which applies to all serving cells of the terminal. When the terminal receives this first indication message on a serving cell, it skips PDCCH listening uniformly for a period of time on all serving cells of the terminal according to the indication. Further, after this period of time, as... Figure 6 As shown, the terminal resumes WUS listening on serving cells configured with WUS listening, while continuing to skip PDCCH listening on serving cells not configured with WUS listening (such as scell1 and scell2).

[0187] In one embodiment of Example 5, the network-side device configures the terminal's WUS listening on a frequency band independent of the terminal's serving cell. The terminal needs to switch between WUS listening and PDCCH listening, and this switching involves the terminal's bandwidth switching process, which introduces switching latency.

[0188] It should be noted that in the above embodiments, when the terminal is configured with Carrier Aggregation (CA), it can simultaneously perform PDCCH listening and skip PDCCH listening in all serving cells. This means that the terminal's WUS and PDCCH listening can be performed in the time domain (TDM), reducing the terminal's listening complexity. Since WUS and PDCCH can be received in TDM, in one implementation method, the terminal can share the same RF front-end or part of the physical antenna for receiving WUS and PDCCH, thus reducing the structural complexity of the terminal equipment.

[0189] Example 6: In conjunction with Examples 1 to 5 above, the PDCCH listening timer or first indication information under the WUS listening configuration scheme can support the simultaneous configuration of R17 PDCCH skipping indication.

[0190] In one embodiment, if the UE is configured with both a PDCCH listening timer or a first indication information and an R17PDCCH skipping indication, the terminal will behave as follows:

[0191] 1) If the terminal is woken up by a WUS instruction, and the terminal is within the skip PDCCH listening period indicated by the skip PDCCH listening instruction on a certain serving cell, the terminal will continue to skip PDCCH listening on that serving cell. Further, the terminal will begin PDCCH listening after skipping the PDCCH listening period on that cell.

[0192] 2) Upon receiving a terminal's instruction to enable WUS listening or meeting the conditions for enabling WUS listening (e.g., the PDCCH listening timer expires or the first instruction information is received), if the terminal is within the skip PDCCH listening period indicated by the skip PDCCH listening instruction on a certain serving cell, the terminal will continue to skip PDCCH listening on that serving cell. Further, the terminal will begin WUS listening after skipping the PDCCH listening period on that cell.

[0193] It is understood that, in one embodiment, 1) the priority of the WUS trigger to start the PDCCH listening instruction or 2) the priority of the start WUS listening instruction or condition is lower than the priority of the skip PDCCH listening instruction.

[0194] In another embodiment, if the UE is configured with both a PDCCH listening timer or a first indication information and an R17PDCCH skipping indication, the terminal will behave as follows:

[0195] 1) Upon receiving a WUS instruction to wake up the terminal, regardless of whether the terminal is in the skip PDCCH listening period indicated by the skip PDCCH listening instruction on a certain serving cell, the terminal starts, resumes or begins PDCCH listening on all serving cells.

[0196] 2) Upon receiving a terminal instruction to enable WUS listening or meeting the conditions for enabling WUS listening, regardless of whether the terminal is in the period specified by the instruction to skip PDCCH listening on a certain serving cell, the terminal starts, resumes, or initiates WUS listening on all serving cells.

[0197] Example 7: WUS monitoring configuration scheme for situations where the terminal has multiple cell group configurations, such as multiple FR cell groups or DRX groups.

[0198] Method 1: Multiple WUS listening configurations, each WUS configuration operating on its associated serving cell group. Further, the multiple WUS configurations can be located in different cells or frequency domain resources, or multiple WUS configurations can be located in the same cell or frequency domain resource. Optionally, the WUS listening times included in these multiple WUS configurations are mutually TDM-enabled. The terminal only needs to listen to the WUS listening time of its associated WUS configuration on a specific serving cell.

[0199] Method 2: One WUS listener configuration, with one WUS operating on multiple serving cell groups. Furthermore, different instruction content can be associated with different serving cell groups in the WUS instruction. Alternatively, the same instruction content can be used in the WUS instruction to control or apply to different serving cell groups.

[0200] Optionally, in one embodiment, WUS monitoring is configured separately for different cell groups. For example, each cell group selects a serving cell for WUS monitoring configuration, and WUS operates on the cell group it belongs to. Another example is that the network-side device configures WUS on different FR bandwidths (bands), and WUS operates on the FR cell it belongs to. Optionally, the frequency domain resources for WUS monitoring are not limited to the terminal's serving cell.

[0201] Optionally, in one embodiment, the network-side device will only deploy WUS monitoring on a specific frequency band, which is not necessarily the terminal's serving cell. For example, the terminal may need to monitor WUS on the frequency band where WUS is located, and switch to the serving cell's frequency band to perform corresponding PDCCH monitoring after detecting WUS.

[0202] Optionally, in one embodiment, the WUS configuration is not supported when multiple FRs are configured in the serving cell. For example, the WUS listening configuration is not supported in... Figure 4 Applications described in the embodiments. For example, WUS monitoring only supports configuration and application on FR1. For example, the protocol does not support simultaneous configuration of WUS monitoring for two or more FR cell groups for a UE. For example, the protocol does not support simultaneous configuration of WUS monitoring for two or more DRX groups for a UE.

[0203] It should be noted that during the WUS listening period of the serving cell, the terminal skips PDCCH listening by default; while during the skipped PDCCH listening period of the serving cell, the terminal can determine whether to listen to WUS according to the configuration.

[0204] Reference Figure 7 This application also provides a transmission processing method, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the transmission processing method includes:

[0227] The WUS configuration information includes a set of WUS configurations, which are used to instruct at least one DRX group or at least one frequency range of serving cells to enable PDCCH monitoring.
