[0021] The PDCCH monitoring occasion is a basic and key mechanism to realize deep energy saving of the terminal while ensuring that the network can contact the terminal in time as needed, and is widely used in scenarios where the network initiates communication. With the expansion of the network scale, especially in a multi-user scenario, how to accurately determine the target PDCCH monitoring occasion so that the terminal can perform PDCCH monitoring based on the target PDCCH monitoring occasion is crucial.

[0022] In order to accurately determine the target PDCCH monitoring occasion, so that the terminal can perform PDCCH monitoring based on the target PDCCH monitoring occasion, the embodiment of the present application provides a method for determining a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasion. The technical solution of the signal receiving method provided by the embodiment of the present application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the embodiments of the present application and the related drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0023] Figure 1 One of the flowcharts of the method for determining a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasion provided by the embodiment of the present application can be applied to a terminal. For example, as shown in the drawing, Figure 1 The method for determining a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasion can include the following steps. S101, receiving paging configuration information sent by a network device.

[0024] The paging configuration information is used to indicate a plurality of PDCCH monitoring occasions within a paging occasion. The plurality of PDCCH monitoring occasions is determined based on the number of synchronization signal blocks (SSBs), the number of user groups within the paging occasion, and the number of PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to one user group in one SSB direction. The user group can be denoted as UE group.

[0025] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the users monitoring in the same PDCCH monitoring occasion within the same paging occasion of the same paging frame can form a user group. One paging occasion can be understood as one monitoring window. For example, the PDCCH monitoring occasion can be a paging PDCCH monitoring occasion, etc., which can be set according to actual needs. The number of PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to one user group in one SSB direction can be understood as a transmission batch.

[0026] For example, the paging configuration information can be carried in a system broadcast message, such as a system information block 1 (SIB1), or in dedicated radio resource control (RRC) signaling. The specific setting can be made according to actual needs.

[0027] Generally, for terminals in an idle state or an inactive state, the paging configuration information can be carried in a system broadcast message. For terminals in a connected state, the paging configuration information can be carried in dedicated RRC signaling.

[0028] After the terminal receives the paging configuration information sent by the network device, the target PDCCH monitoring occasion can be determined based on the paging configuration information, that is, the following S102 is performed: S102, determining a target PDCCH monitoring occasion based on the paging configuration information.

[0029] The target PDCCH monitoring occasion is used for PDCCH monitoring.

[0030] It can be seen that in the embodiments of the present application, the terminal receives the paging configuration information sent by the network device; wherein the paging configuration information is used to indicate a plurality of PDCCH monitoring occasions in the paging occasion, the plurality of PDCCH monitoring occasions are determined based on the number of synchronization signal blocks (SSBs), the number of user groups in the paging occasion, and the number of PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to one user group in one SSB direction, and the target PDCCH monitoring occasion is determined based on the paging configuration information. In this way, the network device sends the paging configuration information to the terminal, which is used to indicate a plurality of PDCCH monitoring occasions in the paging occasion, so that the terminal can accurately determine the target PDCCH monitoring occasion based on the paging configuration information, and perform PDCCH monitoring based on the target PDCCH monitoring occasion.

[0031] For example, in the embodiments of the present application, the paging occasion is a set composed of K×X×G PDCCH monitoring occasions, K represents the number of SSBs, G represents the number of user groups in the paging occasion, and X represents the number of PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to the same SSB and the same user group in the paging occasion.

[0032] The SSB corresponds to one or more wave positions, and the user group is obtained by grouping a plurality of terminals based on their respective identifiers in the paging occasion according to the grouping rule, which can be set according to actual needs.

[0033] For example, in the embodiments of the present application, the wave position can be any of the following: one beam direction; one logical service range in the system level; one logical coverage area in the system level; one logical beam index in the system level.

[0034] For example, in the embodiments of the present application, when grouping a plurality of terminals according to the grouping rule, at least two possible implementation manners can be included: In a possible implementation, step 1, first, according to UE_ID mod N, the terminal is divided into N groups; step 2, for each of the N groups obtained in step 1, further grouping the group according to floor(UE_ID / N) mod Ns, to obtain Ns groups, and a total of N×Ns groups; step 3, for each of the N×Ns groups obtained in step 2, further grouping the group according to floor(UE_ID / (N×Ns)) mod G, to obtain G groups, and a total of G×N×Ns groups. Wherein, UE_ID is a terminal identifier.

[0035] When the terminal determines the paging frame, the paging occasion within the paging frame, and the index of the user group to which the terminal belongs within the user group in the paging occasion according to the UE_ID, the following related descriptions can be used to achieve the above: The PF and PO for paging are determined by the following formulae: The SFN for the PF is determined by: determining the paging frame according to the UE_ID; (SFN+PF_offset) mod T = (T div N) × (UE_ID mod N); The index (i_s) indicating the index of the PO is determined by: determining the paging occasion within the paging frame according to the UE_ID; i_s = floor(UE_ID / N) mod Ns; The index (i_g) indicating the index of the UE group within the PO is determined by: determining the user group to which the terminal belongs within the paging occasion according to the UE_ID; i_g = floor(UE_ID / (N×Ns)) mod G. In another possible implementation, step 1, first, according to floor(UE_ID / G) mod N, the terminal is divided into N groups; step 2, for each of the N groups obtained in step 1, further grouping the group according to floor(UE_ID / (N×G)) mod Ns, to obtain Ns groups, and a total of N×Ns groups; step 3, for each of the N×Ns groups obtained in step 2, further grouping the group according to UE_ID mod G, to obtain G groups, and a total of G×N×Ns groups. Wherein, UE_ID is a terminal identifier.

[0036] When the terminal determines the paging frame it needs to monitor, the paging occasion within the paging frame, and the index of the user group it belongs to within the user group in the paging occasion according to the UE ID, the following related descriptions can be implemented: The PF and PO for paging are detemmined by the following formulae: The SFN for the PF is determined by: determining the paging frame according to the UE ID; (SFN+PF_offset)modT=(T divN)×( floor(UE_ID / G)modN); Index (i_s). indicating the index of the PO is detemmined by: determining the paging occasion within the paging frame according to the UE ID; i_s=floor(UE_ID / (N×G))modNs; Index(i_g), indicating the index of the UE group within the PO isdetermined by: determining the user group it belongs to within the paging occasion according to the UE ID; i_g=UE IDmod G. In the embodiments of the present application, when determining the target PDCCH monitoring occasion, the concept of user group within the paging occasion is introduced, so that the terminal can determine which user group it belongs to according to its identifier, so that the terminal only needs to perform PDCCH monitoring in the specific and short PDCCH monitoring occasion it belongs to, without waiting for the entire paging occasion window to end, and without decoding the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) that may not exist at all.

[0037] Based on the above Figure 1 As shown in the embodiments, in the embodiments of the present application, when the terminal determines the target PDCCH monitoring occasion based on the paging configuration information, the following at least six possible implementation manners can be included: In a possible implementation, the paging configuration information includes the number of user groups, and the terminal can determine the (k×X×G+x×G+g+1)th PDCCH monitoring occasion as the target PDCCH monitoring occasion, so that the PDCCH monitoring occasions of different user groups for the same SSB index can be sorted together, and the number of beam hopping can be effectively reduced.

[0038] wherein k represents the number of the SSB, 0≤k

[0039] For example, it is assumed that the number K of synchronization signal blocks SSB is 2, SSB0 and SSB1, the number X of PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to one user group in one SSB direction, i.e., the number of transmission batches, is 2, which is the initial transmission and the first retransmission, the number G of user groups is 2, which is user group 0 and user group 1, and the (k×X×G+x×G+g+1)th PDCCH monitoring occasion is determined as the target PDCCH monitoring occasion, which can be seen from the following Table 1: Table 1

[0040] As can be seen from Table 1, when the target PDCCH monitoring occasion is determined, the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 0 in the direction of SSB0 are sorted first, and then the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 1 in the direction of SSB0 are sorted, and thus the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasions of the two user groups in the direction of SSB0 within the beam residence effective window are sorted.

[0041] The retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 0 in the direction of SSB0 are sorted, and then the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 1 in the direction of SSB0 are sorted, and thus the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasions of the two user groups in the direction of SSB0 within the beam residence effective window are sorted.

[0042] The PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to SSB1 are sorted according to the above steps, and the specific implementation is similar to that of the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to SSB0, i.e., the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 0 in the direction of SSB1 are sorted first, and then the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 1 in the direction of SSB1 are sorted, and thus the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasions of the two user groups in the direction of SSB1 within the beam residence effective window are sorted.

[0043] The retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB1 is sorted, the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB1 is sorted again, and the sorting of the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of the two user groups in the direction of SSB1 in the beam residence effective window is completed.

[0044] For example, referring to Figure 2 as shown, Figure 2 One of the PDCCH monitoring occasion sorting diagrams provided by the embodiment of the application can be seen. The PDCCH monitoring occasion sorting scheme is: traversing the elements of the SSB dimension in the outermost loop order, for any selected element of the SSB dimension, traversing the element set of the transmission batch dimension in the middle loop, for any selected element of the transmission batch dimension, traversing the element set of the user group in the innermost loop order to determine the PDCCH monitoring occasion. In this way, the paging of different user groups in the same SSB direction can be concentrated in a time period. These PDCCH monitoring occasions are located in the effective residence window of the beam in the current beam position, which can minimize the number of beam switching, reduce the beam scheduling complexity of the base station side, and adapt to the beam hopping working mechanism.

[0045] In the case where the interval between the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions is equal to 0, it can be understood that the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions are continuously arranged. In the case where the interval between the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions is greater than 0, it can be understood that the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions are arranged with an interval. In the embodiment of the application, the positions of the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions can be continuous or have a certain interval.

[0046] For example, in the embodiment of the application, the interval between the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions is any one of the following: The interval between the first symbol of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion and the first symbol of the second PDCCH monitoring occasion in the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions; The interval between the last symbol of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion and the first symbol of the second PDCCH monitoring occasion.

[0047] It can be understood that when the latter PDCCH monitoring occasion is configured in the adjacent two PDCCH monitoring occasions, in addition to the above-mentioned first symbol of the former PDCCH monitoring occasion, and the interval between the first symbol of the former PDCCH monitoring occasion and the first symbol of the latter PDCCH monitoring occasion, or the tail symbol of the former PDCCH monitoring occasion, and the interval between the tail symbol of the former PDCCH monitoring occasion and the first symbol of the latter PDCCH monitoring occasion, the first symbol of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion, and the interval between the first symbol of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion and the first symbol of the latter PDCCH monitoring occasion, or the tail symbol of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion, and the interval between the tail symbol of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion and the first symbol of the latter PDCCH monitoring occasion can also be determined; of course, the first symbol of the latter PDCCH monitoring occasion can also be directly configured, and the like, which can be set according to actual needs.

[0048] For example, in the embodiment of the present application, when there is a certain interval between the positions of the adjacent two PDCCH monitoring occasions, the interval can be indicated by an indication information, which can be included in the re-paging configuration information, and can be set according to actual needs. In this way, the interval between the adjacent two PDCCH monitoring occasions is set, so that the paging PDSCH or other channels can be scheduled in the interval.

[0049] In combination with the technical solutions shown in Figure 2 The interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different SSBs can be denoted as V, the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different transmission batches can be denoted as U, and the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different user groups can be denoted as Z. For example, refer to Figure 3 shown in Figure 3 One of the interval schematic diagrams provided by the embodiment of the present application, wherein the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to SSB0 and the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to SSB1 can be denoted as V; in the direction of SSB0, the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to initial transmission and the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to retransmission can be denoted as Z; in the direction of SSB1, the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to initial transmission and the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to retransmission can be denoted as Z; under the same transmission batch, for example, the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 0 at initial transmission and the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 1 at initial transmission can be denoted as Z; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 0 at retransmission and the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 1 at retransmission can be denoted as Z. In this way, the PDCCH monitoring occasions are set by intervals, so that the paging PDSCH or other channels can be scheduled in the interval.

[0050] For example, the value of the interval V of the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different SSBs can be related to the time domain parameter of the control resource set (CORESET) configured by the paging search space (Paging Search Space). In order to avoid the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different SSBs from overlapping in the time domain, the interval V is set to be at least greater than or equal to the duration of the CORESET. The interval V can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations here.

[0051] For example, the value of the interval U between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different transmission batches can be related to the decision of the network scheduler (Network Scheduler Decision), including system load (System Load), traffic priority (Traffic Priority), paging capacity vs delay trade-off (Paging Capacity vs Delay Trade-off), etc. The interval U can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations here.

[0052] For example, the value of the interval Z between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different user groups can be determined by the high-level parameters and the monitoring period of the underlying PDCCH search space. By configuring the value of the number of user groups to balance the paging capacity and terminal power consumption, the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to two adjacent user groups is determined. The interval Z can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations here.

[0053] In this possible implementation, for example, the paging configuration information can further include a bundle size, denoted as bundleSize, which is used to indicate grouping of SSBs or transmission batches. For example, SSB0 and SSB1 can be grouped, and the corresponding beam group is preferentially paged, so as to ensure preferential paging of a geographical area. Alternatively, the initial transmission and the first repeated transmission can be grouped, and multiple paging PDCCH transmissions are grouped, so as to ensure that when the demodulation performance of a terminal in a certain paging PDCCH is poor, the demodulation performance can be improved through combination of multiple paging PDCCHs.

[0054] For example, in the case where the paging configuration information includes the bundle size, the terminal determining the target PDCCH monitoring occasion based on the paging configuration information can include the following two ways: Manner 1, grouping SSBs based on the grouping size. The terminal can determine the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the floor(k / bundleSize)×bundleSize×X×G+x×G×bundleSize+g×bundleSize+mod(k,bundleSize)+1 as the target PDCCH monitoring occasion.

[0055] wherein floor() represents the floor function, bundleSize represents the grouping size, and mod(k,bundleSize) represents the remainder of k divided by bundleSize.

[0056] For example, assuming that the number of synchronization signal blocks SSBs K is 2, SSB0 and SSB1, the number of PDCCH monitoring occasions X corresponding to one user group in one SSB direction, i.e., the number of transmission batches is 2, which is the initial transmission and the first retransmission, the number of user groups G is 2, which is user group 0 and user group 1, and the value of the grouping size bundleSize is 2, SSB0 and SSB1 can be grouped into one group, and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the floor(k / bundleSize)×bundleSize×X×G+x×G×bundleSize+g×bundleSize+mod(k,bundleSize)+1 is determined as the target PDCCH monitoring occasion, which can be seen from the following Table 2: Table 2

[0057] As can be seen from Table 2, in the case where the paging configuration information includes the grouping size and SSB0 and SSB1 are grouped into one group based on the grouping size, the terminal sorts the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 0 in the direction of SSB0 and in the direction of SSB1 first, and then sorts the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 1 in the direction of SSB0 and in the direction of SSB1, thereby completing the sorting of the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasions of the two user groups in the direction of SSB0 and in the direction of SSB1 within the beam residence valid window.

[0058] The retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 0 in the direction of SSB0 and in the direction of SSB1 are sorted, and then the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 1 in the direction of SSB0 and in the direction of SSB1 are sorted, thereby completing the sorting of the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasions of the two user groups in the direction of SSB0 and in the direction of SSB1 within the beam residence valid window.

[0059] For example, as shown in Figure 4 Figure 4 ​A second PDCCH monitoring occasion ordering diagram provided for the embodiments of the present application can be seen. The PDCCH monitoring occasion ordering scheme is as follows: traverse the elements of the SSB grouping dimension in the outermost loop order, for any selected element of the SSB grouping dimension, traverse the element set of the transmission batch dimension in the middle loop, for any selected element of the transmission batch dimension, traverse the element set of the user group in the innermost loop order, to determine the PDCCH monitoring occasion. In this way, by grouping multiple SSBs together, the corresponding paging PDCCHs are ordered together, which can achieve the priority paging of the SSB grouping corresponding wave position group.

[0060] In combination with the above Figure 4 As shown, for example, in the case of grouping SSB0 and SSB1 together, the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to SSB0 and the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to SSB1 in the group can be denoted as M1; for initial transmission, the change between groups is in the user group dimension, and for retransmission, the change between groups is also in the user group dimension, therefore, the interval between PDCCH monitoring occasions between groups can be denoted as Z, and the interval between PDCCH monitoring occasions between initial transmission and retransmission is in the transmission batch dimension, therefore, the interval between PDCCH monitoring occasions between initial transmission and retransmission can be denoted as U, for example, see Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5In the second interval schematic diagram provided by the embodiment of the present application, the interval between the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 0 in the SSB0 direction and the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 0 in the SSB1 direction in the group can be denoted as M1; the interval between the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 1 in the SSB0 direction and the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 1 in the SSB1 direction in the group can also be denoted as M1; the interval between the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 0 in the SSB0 direction and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 0 in the SSB1 direction in the group can also be denoted as M1; the interval between the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 1 in the SSB0 direction and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 1 in the SSB1 direction in the group can also be denoted as M1; the interval between the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 0 in the SSB1 direction and the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 1 in the SSB0 direction between groups can be denoted as Z; the interval between the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 0 in the SSB1 direction and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 1 in the SSB0 direction between groups can also be denoted as Z; the interval between the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 1 in the SSB1 direction and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 0 in the SSB0 direction between groups can be denoted as U, so that the PDCCH monitoring occasion is set through the interval, so that the paging PDSCH or other channels can be scheduled in the interval.

[0061] For example, the value of the interval M1 between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different SSBs in the group can be determined comprehensively according to the signal bandwidth, the modulation mode, the structure of the synchronization information block, the inverse ratio relationship between the group distance and the group number, and the specific application scenario, and can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not make specific limitations here.

[0062] For example, the value of the interval Z between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different user groups can be determined together with the high-level parameters and the monitoring period of the bottom PDCCH search space. The interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to adjacent two user groups is determined by balancing the paging capacity and terminal power consumption through configuration, and can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not make specific limitations here.

[0063] For example, the interval U between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different transmission batches can be related to the network scheduler decision, including system load, traffic priority, paging capacity vs delay trade-off, etc. The value of U can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations here.

[0064] In mode 2, the transmission batches are grouped based on the group size. The terminal can determine the k×X×G+floor(x / bundleSize)×bundleSize×G+g×bundleSize+mod(x,bundleSize)+1thPDCCH monitoring occasion as the target PDCCH monitoring occasion.

[0065] wherein floor() represents the floor function, bundleSize represents the group size, and mod(x,bundleSize) represents the remainder of x divided by bundleSize.

[0066] For example, assuming that the number of synchronization signal blocks SSB is 2, i.e. SSB0 and SSB1, the number of PDCCH monitoring occasions X corresponding to one user group in one SSB direction, i.e. the number of transmission batches, is 2, i.e. initial transmission and first retransmission, the number of user groups G is 2, i.e. user group 0 and user group 1, and the value of the group size bundleSize is 2, the initial transmission and the first retransmission can be grouped together, and the k×X×G+floor(x / bundleSize)×bundleSize×G+g×bundleSize+mod(x,bundleSize)+1thPDCCH monitoring occasion can be determined as the target PDCCH monitoring occasion, which can be seen from Table 3 below. Table 3

[0067] As can be seen from Table 3, in the case where the paging configuration information includes the group size and the initial transmission and the first retransmission are grouped together based on the group size, when the terminal determines the PDCCH monitoring occasion, the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasions and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 0 in the direction of SSB0 are sorted first, and then the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasions and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 1 in the direction of SSB0 are sorted, thereby completing the sorting of the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasions and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasions of the two user groups in the direction of SSB0 within the beam residence valid window.

[0068] The initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of the user group 0 in the SSB1 direction are sorted, the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of the user group 1 in the SSB1 direction are sorted again, and the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of the two user groups in the SSB1 direction in the beam residence effective window are sorted.

[0069] For example, referring to Figure 6 , Figure 6 A third PDCCH monitoring occasion sorting diagram provided by the embodiment of the application can be seen, and the PDCCH monitoring occasion sorting scheme is: the outermost loop sequence is used to traverse the elements in the SSB dimension, for any selected element in the SSB dimension, the middle loop is used to traverse the element set in the transmission batch grouping dimension, for any selected element in the transmission batch grouping dimension, the innermost loop sequence is used to traverse the element set of the user group, so as to determine the PDCCH monitoring occasion. In this way, the multiple paging PDCCH transmissions are grouped together, and the sorting can ensure that when the demodulation performance of a paging PDCCH is poor, the demodulation performance can be improved through the combination of multiple paging PDCCHs.

[0070] In combination with the above Figure 6 , for example, in the case of grouping the initial transmission and the first retransmission, the interval between the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion in the group can be denoted as M2; for SSB0, the change between groups is the user group dimension, and for SSB1, the change between groups is the user group dimension, therefore, the interval of the PDCCH monitoring occasion between groups can be denoted as Z, and the interval of the PDCCH monitoring occasion between SSB0 and SSB1 is the SSB dimension, therefore, the interval of the PDCCH monitoring occasion between SSB0 and SSB1 can be denoted as V, for example, referring to Figure 7 , Figure 7In the third interval schematic diagram provided by the embodiments of the present application, the interval between the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 0 in the SSB0 direction and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 0 in the SSB0 direction can be denoted as M2; the interval between the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 1 in the SSB0 direction and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 1 in the SSB0 direction can also be denoted as M2; the interval between the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 0 in the SSB1 direction and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 0 in the SSB1 direction can also be denoted as M2; the interval between the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 1 in the SSB1 direction and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 1 in the SSB1 direction can also be denoted as M2; the interval between the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 0 in the SSB0 direction and the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 1 in the SSB0 direction can be denoted as Z; the interval between the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 0 in the SSB1 direction and the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 1 in the SSB1 direction can also be denoted as Z; the interval between the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 1 in the SSB0 direction and the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 0 in the SSB1 direction can be denoted as V. Through the interval setting of the PDCCH monitoring occasion, the paging PDSCH or other channels can be scheduled in the interval.

[0071] For example, the value of the interval M2 between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different transmission batches in the group can be determined in combination with the transmission rate and bandwidth, the type and number of transmission batches, network delay and jitter, the technical requirements of the packet transmission network, and specific application scenarios, and can be set according to actual needs. In this case, the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations.

[0072] For example, the value of the interval Z between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different user groups can be determined in combination with the high-level parameters and the monitoring period of the underlying PDCCH search space. The number of user groups is determined by balancing the paging capacity and terminal power consumption, thereby determining the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to adjacent two user groups. The interval can be set according to actual needs. In this case, the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations.

[0073] In another possible implementation, the paging configuration information includes the number of user groups, and the terminal can determine the k×G×X+g×X+x+1thPDCCH monitoring occasion as the target PDCCH monitoring occasion.

[0074] Wherein, k represents the number of SSB, 0≤k

[0075] For example, assuming the number of synchronization signal blocks SSB K is 2, SSB0 and SSB1 respectively, the number of PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to one user group in one SSB direction X, i.e. the number of transmission batches is 2, initial transmission and first retransmission respectively, the number of user groups G is 2, user group 0 and user group 1 respectively, when the k×G×X+g×X+x+1thPDCCH monitoring occasion is determined as the target PDCCH monitoring occasion, please refer to the following table 4: Table 4

[0076] As can be seen from table 4, when determining the target PDCCH monitoring occasion, the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in SSB0 direction is sorted first, and then the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in SSB0 direction is sorted, thus completing the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion and retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion sorting of user group 0 in SSB0 direction within the beam residence valid window.

[0077] Continue to sort the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in SSB0 direction, and then sort the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in SSB0 direction, thus completing the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion and retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion sorting of user group 1 in SSB0 direction within the beam residence valid window.

[0078] Continue to sort the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in SSB0 direction, and then sort the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in SSB0 direction, thus completing the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion and retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion sorting of user group 1 in SSB0 direction within the beam residence valid window.

[0079] Continue to sort the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in SSB0 direction, and then sort the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in SSB0 direction, thus completing the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion and retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion sorting of user group 1 in SSB0 direction within the beam residence valid window.

[0080] For example, reference can be made to Figure 8 As shown in the figure, Figure 8 The fourth kind of PDCCH monitoring occasion ordering diagram provided by the embodiment of the application can be seen. The PDCCH monitoring occasion ordering scheme is: traversing the elements of the SSB dimension in the outermost loop order, for any selected element of the SSB dimension, traversing the element set of the user group dimension in the middle loop, for any selected element of the user group dimension, traversing the element set of the transmission batch in the innermost loop order, to determine the PDCCH monitoring occasion. In this way, the paging of different user groups in the same SSB direction can be concentrated in one period, and the beam hopping times are reduced.

[0081] In the case where the interval between the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions is equal to 0, it can be understood that the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions are continuously arranged; in the case where the interval between the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions is greater than 0, it can be understood that the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions are arranged with an interval, that is, in the embodiment of the application, the positions of the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions can be continuous or have a certain interval.

[0082] For example, in the embodiment of the application, the interval between the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions is any of the following: The interval between the first symbol of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion and the first symbol of the second PDCCH monitoring occasion; The interval between the last symbol of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion and the first symbol of the second PDCCH monitoring occasion.

[0083] It can be understood that when the second PDCCH monitoring occasion of the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions is configured, in addition to the above-mentioned determination by means of the first symbol of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion, the interval between the first symbol of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion and the first symbol of the second PDCCH monitoring occasion, or the first symbol of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion and the last symbol of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion, and the interval between the last symbol of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion and the first symbol of the second PDCCH monitoring occasion, the first symbol of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion and the interval between the first symbol of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion and the first symbol of the second PDCCH monitoring occasion, or the last symbol of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion and the interval between the last symbol of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion and the first symbol of the second PDCCH monitoring occasion can also be used for determination; of course, the first symbol of the second PDCCH monitoring occasion can also be directly configured, and the like, which can be set according to actual needs.

[0084] For example, in the embodiments of this application, when there is a certain interval between the positions of two adjacent PDCCH listening times, the interval can be indicated by an indication information, which can be included in the paging configuration information. Specifically, it can be set according to actual needs. In this way, the interval setting of the two adjacent PDCCH listening times allows the paging PDSCH or other channels to be scheduled within the interval.

[0085] Combination Figure 8 In the technical solution shown, the interval between PDCCH listening times corresponding to different SSBs can be denoted as V, the interval between PDCCH listening times corresponding to different user groups can be denoted as Z, and the interval between PDCCH listening times corresponding to different transmission batches can be denoted as U. For example, see [link to example]. Figure 9 As shown, Figure 9 The fourth illustration of an interval provided in this application embodiment shows that the interval between the PDCCH monitoring timing corresponding to SSB0 and the PDCCH monitoring timing corresponding to SSB1 can be denoted as V; in the SSB0 direction, the interval between the retransmission PDCCH monitoring timing corresponding to user group 0 and the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring timing corresponding to user group 1 can be denoted as Z; in the SSB1 direction, the interval between the retransmission PDCCH monitoring timing corresponding to user group 0 and the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring timing corresponding to user group 1 can be denoted as Z; the interval between the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring timing corresponding to user group 0 and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring timing corresponding to user group 0 can be denoted as U; the interval between the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring timing corresponding to user group 1 and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring timing corresponding to user group 1 can also be denoted as U. By setting the PDCCH monitoring timing through intervals, paging PDSCH or other channels can be scheduled within the interval.

[0086] For example, the value of the interval V for PDCCH listening time corresponding to different SSBs can be related to the time domain parameters of the Control Resource Set (CORESET) configured in the Paging Search Space. In order to avoid the PDCCH listening time corresponding to different SSBs from overlapping in the time domain, the interval V is set to be at least greater than or equal to the duration of CORESET. The specific value can be set according to actual needs. Here, this application embodiment does not impose specific restrictions.

[0087] For example, the interval Z between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different user groups can be determined in combination with the high-level parameter and the monitoring period of the underlying PDCCH search space. The number of user groups is determined by balancing paging capacity and terminal power consumption through configuration, thereby determining the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to adjacent user groups. The interval can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations here.

[0088] For example, the interval U between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different transmission batches can be related to the decision of the network scheduler (Network Scheduler Decision), including system load (System Load), traffic priority (Traffic Priority), paging capacity vs delay trade-off (Paging Capacity vs Delay Trade-off), etc. The interval can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations here.

[0089] In this possible implementation, for example, the paging configuration information can further include a grouping size, denoted as bundleSize, which is used to indicate grouping of SSBs or user groups. For example, SSB0 and SSB1 can be grouped, and the corresponding beam group is preferentially paged, which can ensure preferential paging of a geographical area. Alternatively, user group 1 and user group 2 can be grouped, and different user groups are grouped, which can ensure preferential paging of multiple different user groups.

[0090] For example, in the case where the paging configuration information includes a grouping size, the terminal determines the target PDCCH monitoring occasion based on the paging configuration information, which can include the following two ways: Way 1: Grouping SSBs based on the grouping size. The terminal can determine the (floor(k / bundleSize)×bundleSize×G×X+g×X×bundleSize+x×bundleSize+mod(k,bundleSize)+1)th PDCCH monitoring occasion as the target PDCCH monitoring occasion.

[0091] Wherein, floor() represents rounding down, bundleSize represents the grouping size, and mod(k,bundleSize) represents k modulo bundleSize.

[0092] For example, assuming that the number of synchronization signal blocks SSBs K is 2, SSB0 and SSB1 respectively, the number of PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to one user group in one SSB direction, i.e. the number of transmission batches, is 2, initial transmission and first retransmission respectively, the number of user groups G is 2, user group 0 and user group 1 respectively, and the value of the bundle size bundleSize is 2, SSB0 and SSB1 can be grouped together, and when the target PDCCH monitoring occasion is determined as the floor(k / bundleSize)×bundleSize×G×X+g×X×bundleSize+x×bundleSize+mod(k,bundleSize)+1thPDCCH monitoring occasion, refer to Table 5 shown below: Table 5

[0093] As can be seen from Table 5, in the case where the paging configuration information includes the bundle size and SSB0 and SSB1 are grouped together based on the bundle size, when the terminal determines the PDCCH monitoring occasion, the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 0 in the SSB0 direction and the SSB1 direction are sorted first, and then the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 0 in the SSB0 direction and the SSB1 direction are sorted, thereby completing the sorting of the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasions and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 0 in the SSB0 direction and the SSB1 direction within the beam residence valid window.

[0094] The initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 1 in the SSB0 direction and the SSB1 direction are sorted, and then the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 1 in the SSB0 direction and the SSB1 direction are sorted, thereby completing the sorting of the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasions and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 1 in the SSB0 direction and the SSB1 direction within the beam residence valid window.

[0095] For example, refer to Figure 10 , Figure 10 Figure 5 is a PDCCH monitoring occasion sorting diagram provided by an embodiment of the present application, which shows that the PDCCH monitoring occasion sorting scheme is: traversing the elements of the SSB grouping dimension in the outermost loop order, for any selected element of the SSB grouping dimension, traversing the element set of the user group dimension in the middle layer loop, for any selected element of the user group dimension, traversing the element set of the transmission batch in the innermost loop order to determine the PDCCH monitoring occasion, which can realize the priority paging of the beam position group corresponding to the SSB grouping by grouping multiple SSBs together and sorting the corresponding paging PDCCHs together.

[0096] In combination with the aboveFigure 10 As shown, in the case of grouping SSB0 and SSB1, the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to SSB0 and the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to SSB1 in the group can be denoted as M1; for user group 0, the change is in the transmission batch dimension between groups, and for user group 1, the change is in the transmission batch dimension between groups, so the interval of the PDCCH monitoring occasion between groups can be denoted as U, and the interval of the PDCCH monitoring occasion between user group 0 and user group 1 can be denoted as Z, for example, see Figure 11 As shown, Figure 11 A fifth interval schematic diagram provided by the embodiment of the application, wherein the interval between the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 0 in the direction of SSB0 and the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 0 in the direction of SSB1 in the group can be denoted as M1; the interval between the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 0 in the direction of SSB0 and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 0 in the direction of SSB1 in the group can also be denoted as M1; the interval between the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 1 in the direction of SSB0 and the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 1 in the direction of SSB1 in the group can also be denoted as M1; the interval between the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 1 in the direction of SSB0 and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 1 in the direction of SSB1 in the group can also be denoted as M1; the interval between the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 0 in the direction of SSB1 and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 0 in the direction of SSB0 between groups can be denoted as U; the interval between the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 1 in the direction of SSB1 and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 1 in the direction of SSB0 between groups can also be denoted as U; the interval between the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 0 in the direction of SSB1 and the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 1 in the direction of SSB0 between groups can be denoted as Z, so that the PDCCH monitoring occasion is set by the interval, so that the paging PDSCH or other channels can be scheduled within the interval.

[0097] For example, the value of the interval M1 between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different SSBs in the group can be determined comprehensively according to the signal bandwidth, the modulation mode, the structure of the synchronization information block, the inverse relationship between the group distance and the number of groups, and the specific application scenario, and can be set according to actual needs, which is not limited in the embodiment of the application.

[0098] For example, the interval U between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different transmission batches can be related to the network scheduler decision, including system load, traffic priority, paging capacity vs delay trade-off, etc. The value of U can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations here.

[0099] For example, the interval Z between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different user groups can be determined by the high-level parameters and the monitoring period of the underlying PDCCH search space. The number of user groups is determined by balancing the paging capacity and terminal power consumption, thereby determining the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to adjacent user groups. The value of Z can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations here.

[0100] Method 2: Grouping user groups based on group size. The terminal can determine the k×G×X+floor(g / bundleSize)×bundleSize×X+x×bundleSize+mod(g,bundleSize)+1thPDCCH monitoring occasion as the target PDCCH monitoring occasion.

[0101] Wherein, floor() represents rounding down, bundleSize represents the group size, and mod(g,bundleSize) represents the remainder of g divided by bundleSize.

[0102] For example, assuming that the number of synchronization signal blocks SSB is 2, SSB0 and SSB1, the number of PDCCH monitoring occasions X corresponding to one user group in one SSB direction, i.e. the number of transmission batches is 2, which is the initial transmission and the first retransmission, the number of user groups G is 2, which is user group 0 and user group 1, and the value of the group size bundleSize is 2. User group 1 and user group 2 can be grouped together, and the k×G×X+floor(g / bundleSize)×bundleSize×X+x×bundleSize+mod(g,bundleSize)+1thPDCCH monitoring occasion can be determined as the target PDCCH monitoring occasion, which can be seen from the following Table 6. Table 6

[0103] It can be seen in combination with Table 6 that, in the case where the paging configuration information includes a packet size, and user group 1 and user group 2 are grouped based on the packet size, when the terminal determines the PDCCH monitoring occasion, the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 and user group 1 in the direction of SSB0 is sorted first, and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 and user group 1 in the direction of SSB0 is sorted second, and the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of the two user groups in the direction of SSB0 within the beam residence valid window are thus sorted.

[0104] The initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 and user group 1 in the direction of SSB1 is sorted first, and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 and user group 1 in the direction of SSB1 is sorted second, and the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of the two user groups in the direction of SSB1 within the beam residence valid window are thus sorted.

[0105] For example, referring to Figure 12 , it can be seen that Figure 12 A sixth PDCCH monitoring occasion sorting diagram provided by the embodiment of the present application can be seen, and the PDCCH monitoring occasion sorting scheme is: traversing the elements of the SSB dimension in the outermost loop order, for any selected element of the SSB dimension, traversing the element set of the user group grouping dimension in the middle layer loop, for any selected element of the user group grouping dimension, traversing the element set of the transmission batch in the innermost loop order to determine the PDCCH monitoring occasion, so that the multiple user groups are grouped together, and the corresponding paging PDCCHs are sorted together, which can realize the priority paging of the multiple different user groups.

[0106] In combination with the above Figure 12 , for example, in the case where user group 0 and user group 1 are grouped, the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 0 and the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 1 in the group can be denoted as M3; for SSB0, the change between groups is the transmission batch dimension, and for SSB1, the change between groups is the transmission batch dimension, so the interval between groups can be denoted as U, and the interval between SSB0 and SSB1 is the SSB dimension, so the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasions of SSB0 and SSB1 can be denoted as V, for example, referring to Figure 13 , it can be seen that Figure 13A sixth interval schematic diagram provided by the embodiment of the present application, wherein the interval between the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 0 in the SSB0 direction and the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 1 in the SSB0 direction in the group can be denoted as M3; the interval between the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 0 in the SSB0 direction and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 1 in the SSB0 direction in the group can also be denoted as M3; the interval between the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 0 in the SSB1 direction and the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 1 in the SSB1 direction in the group can also be denoted as M3; the interval between the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 0 in the SSB1 direction and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 1 in the SSB1 direction in the group can also be denoted as M3; the interval between the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 1 in the SSB0 direction and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 0 in the SSB0 direction between groups can be denoted as U; the interval between the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 1 in the SSB1 direction and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 0 in the SSB1 direction between groups can also be denoted as U; the interval between the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 1 in the SSB0 direction and the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 0 in the SSB1 direction can be denoted as V, so that the PDCCH monitoring occasion is set through the interval, so that the paging PDSCH or other channels can be scheduled in the interval.

[0107] For example, the value of the interval M3 between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different user groups in the group can be determined comprehensively according to the allocation of communication resources, interference management between user groups, network topology and coverage, and specific application scenarios, and can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not make specific limitations here.

[0108] For example, the value of the interval U between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different transmission batches can be related to the network scheduler decision, including system load, traffic priority, paging capacity vs delay trade-off, etc., and can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not make specific limitations here.

[0109] For example, the interval V of the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different SSBs can be related to the time domain parameters of the Control Resource Set (CORESET) configured by the paging search space (Paging Search Space). In order to avoid the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different SSBs from overlapping in the time domain, the interval V is set to be at least greater than or equal to the duration of the CORESET. The interval V can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations here.

[0110] In yet another possible implementation, the paging configuration information includes the number of user groups, and the terminal can determine the x×K×G+k×G+g+1thPDCCH monitoring occasion as the target PDCCH monitoring occasion.

[0111] Wherein, x represents the number of the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to the same SSB and the same user group within the paging occasion, 0≤xX, K represents the number of SSBs, G represents the number of user groups, k represents the number of SSBs, 0≤kK, g represents the number of user groups, 0≤gG.

[0112] For example, assuming that the number of synchronization signal blocks SSBs K is 2, SSB0 and SSB1, the number of PDCCH monitoring occasions X corresponding to one user group in one SSB direction, i.e., the number of transmission batches is 2, which are the initial transmission and the first retransmission, the number of user groups G is 2, which are user group 0 and user group 1, and the x×K×G+k×G+g+1thPDCCH monitoring occasion is determined as the target PDCCH monitoring occasion, which can be seen from the following table 7: Table 7

[0113] As can be seen from table 7, when determining the target PDCCH monitoring occasion, the PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 0 in the SSB0 direction in the initial transmission are sorted first, then the PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 1 in the SSB0 direction in the initial transmission are sorted, and thus the PDCCH monitoring occasions of the two user groups in the SSB0 direction in the initial transmission within the beam residence valid window are sorted.

[0114] The PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 0 in the SSB1 direction in the initial transmission are sorted, and then the PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 1 in the SSB1 direction in the initial transmission are sorted, and thus the PDCCH monitoring occasions of the two user groups in the SSB1 direction in the initial transmission within the beam residence valid window are sorted.

[0115] The corresponding PDCCH monitoring occasion of the retransmission is continued to be sorted according to the above steps, and the specific implementation is similar to the specific implementation of the above sorting of the corresponding PDCCH monitoring occasion of the initial transmission. The PDCCH monitoring occasion of the user group 0 in the SSB0 direction during the retransmission can be sorted first, and then the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the user group 1 in the SSB0 direction during the retransmission is sorted. Thus, the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the two user groups in the SSB0 direction during the retransmission within the beam residence effective window is sorted.

[0116] The PDCCH monitoring occasion of the user group 0 in the SSB1 direction during the retransmission is continued to be sorted, and then the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the user group 1 in the SSB1 direction during the retransmission is sorted. Thus, the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the two user groups in the SSB1 direction during the retransmission within the beam residence effective window is sorted.

[0117] For example, referring to Figure 14 as shown, Figure 14 A seventh PDCCH monitoring occasion sorting schematic diagram provided by the embodiment of the application can be seen. The PDCCH monitoring occasion sorting scheme is: traversing the elements of the transmission batch dimension in the outermost loop order, for any selected element of the transmission batch dimension, traversing the element set of the SSB dimension in the middle layer loop, for any selected element of the SSB dimension, traversing the element set of the user group in the innermost loop order to determine the PDCCH monitoring occasion. In this way, the paging of different user groups on the same transmission batch can be concentrated in a time period, and the paging of multiple user groups in multiple SSB directions can be completed in the shortest time (initial transmission).

[0118] In the case where the interval between the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions is equal to 0, it can be understood that the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions are continuously arranged. In the case where the interval between the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions is greater than 0, it can be understood that the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions are arranged with an interval. In the embodiment of the application, the positions of the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions can be continuous or have a certain interval.

[0119] For example, in the embodiment of the application, the interval between the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions is any of the following: The interval between the first symbol of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion and the first symbol of the second PDCCH monitoring occasion in the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions; The interval between the last symbol of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion and the first symbol of the second PDCCH monitoring occasion.

[0120] It can be understood that when the latter PDCCH monitoring occasion is configured in the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions, in addition to the above-mentioned first symbol of the former PDCCH monitoring occasion, and the interval between the first symbol of the former PDCCH monitoring occasion and the first symbol of the latter PDCCH monitoring occasion, or the tail symbol of the former PDCCH monitoring occasion, and the interval between the tail symbol of the former PDCCH monitoring occasion and the first symbol of the latter PDCCH monitoring occasion, the first symbol of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion, and the interval between the first symbol of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion and the first symbol of the latter PDCCH monitoring occasion, or the tail symbol of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion, and the interval between the tail symbol of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion and the first symbol of the latter PDCCH monitoring occasion can also be determined; of course, the first symbol of the latter PDCCH monitoring occasion can also be directly configured, and the like, which can be set according to actual needs.

[0121] For example, in the embodiment of the present application, when there is a certain interval between the positions of the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions, the interval can be indicated by an indication information, which can be included in the re-paging configuration information, and can be set according to actual needs. In this way, the PDCCH monitoring occasions are set with intervals, so that paging PDSCH or other channels can be scheduled in the intervals.

[0122] In combination with the technical solutions shown in Figure 14 The interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different transmission batches can be denoted as U, the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different SSBs can be denoted as V, and the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different user groups can be denoted as Z. For example, refer to Figure 15 shown in Figure 15 A seventh interval schematic diagram provided by the embodiment of the present application, wherein the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to the initial transmission and the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to the retransmission can be denoted as U; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB0 and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB1 during the initial transmission can be denoted as V, the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB0 and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB1 during the retransmission can be denoted as V; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB0 and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB0 during the initial transmission can be denoted as Z; and the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB1 and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB1 can be denoted as Z. In this way, the PDCCH monitoring occasions are set with intervals, so that paging PDSCH or other channels can be scheduled in the intervals.

[0123] For example, the value of the interval V of the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different SSBs can be related to the time domain parameter of the Control Resource Set (CORESET) configured by the paging search space (Paging Search Space). In order to avoid the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different SSBs from overlapping in the time domain, the interval V is set to be at least greater than or equal to the duration of the CORESET. The interval V can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations here.

[0124] For example, the value of the interval Z between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different user groups can be determined together with the high-level parameter and the monitoring period of the bottom-level PDCCH search space. By configuring the value of the number of user groups, the paging capacity and terminal power consumption are balanced, so as to determine the interval of the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to adjacent two user groups. The interval can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations here.

[0125] For example, the value of the interval U between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different transmission batches can be related to the decision of the network scheduler (Network Scheduler Decision), including system load (System Load), traffic priority (Traffic Priority), paging capacity vs delay trade-off (Paging Capacity vs Delay Trade-off), etc. The interval U can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations here.

[0126] In this possible implementation manner, for example, the paging configuration information can further include a bundle size, denoted as bundleSize, which is used to indicate grouping of the transmission batches or SSBs. For example, the initial transmission and the first repeated transmission can be grouped as a group. By grouping multiple paging PDCCH transmissions as a group, the terminal can combine multiple paging PDCCHs to improve the demodulation performance when the demodulation performance of a certain paging PDCCH is poor. Alternatively, SSB0 and SSB1 can be grouped as a group, and the corresponding wave position group is preferentially paged. In this way, the priority paging of the geographical area can be ensured.

[0127] For example, in the case where the paging configuration information includes the bundle size, the terminal determining the target PDCCH monitoring occasion based on the paging configuration information can include the following two ways: Manner 1, grouping transmission batches based on the grouping size. The terminal can determine the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the floor(x / bundleSize)×bundleSize×K×G+k×G×bundleSize+g×bundleSize+mod(x,bundleSize)+1 as the target PDCCH monitoring occasion.

[0128] Wherein, floor() represents the floor, bundleSize represents the grouping size, and mod(x,bundleSize) represents the remainder of x divided by bundleSize.

[0129] For example, assuming that the number of synchronization signal blocks SSB K is 2, SSB0 and SSB1, the number of PDCCH monitoring occasions X corresponding to one user group in one SSB direction, i.e., the number of transmission batches is 2, which is the initial transmission and the first retransmission, the number of user groups G is 2, which is user group 0 and user group 1, and the value of the grouping size bundleSize is 2, the initial transmission and the first retransmission can be grouped, and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the floor(x / bundleSize)×bundleSize×K×G+k×G×bundleSize+g×bundleSize+mod(x,bundleSize)+1 can be determined as the target PDCCH monitoring occasion, which can be seen from the following Table 8: Table 8

[0130] As can be seen from Table 8, in the case where the paging configuration information includes the grouping size and the initial transmission and the first retransmission are grouped based on the grouping size, when the terminal determines the PDCCH monitoring occasion, the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB0 is sorted first when the initial transmission and the retransmission are sorted, and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB0 is sorted second when the initial transmission and the retransmission are sorted, and thus the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the two user groups in the direction of SSB0 in the beam residence valid window when the initial transmission and the retransmission are sorted is completed.

[0131] The PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB1 is sorted first when the initial transmission and the retransmission are sorted, and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB1 is sorted second when the initial transmission and the retransmission are sorted, and thus the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the two user groups in the direction of SSB1 in the beam residence valid window when the initial transmission and the retransmission are sorted is completed.

[0132] For example, as shown in Figure 16 , the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB0 is sorted first when the initial transmission and the retransmission are sorted, and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB0 is sorted second when the initial transmission and the retransmission are sorted, and thus the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the two user groups in the direction of SSB0 in the beam residence valid window when the initial transmission and the retransmission are sorted is completed. Figure 16The eighth sorting diagram of a PDCCH monitoring occasion provided for an embodiment of the present application can be seen as follows: the sorting scheme of the PDCCH monitoring occasion is: traversing the elements of the transmission batch grouping dimension in the outermost loop order, for any selected element of the transmission batch grouping dimension, traversing the element set of the SSB dimension in the middle layer loop, for any selected element of the SSB dimension, traversing the element set of the user group in the innermost loop order to determine the PDCCH monitoring occasion, so that the multiple paging PDCCH transmissions are divided into a group and sorted together, which can ensure that when the demodulation performance of a certain paging PDCCH is poor, the demodulation performance can be improved through the combination between multiple paging PDCCHs.

[0133] In combination with the above Figure 16 As shown, for example, in the case of dividing the initial transmission and the first retransmission into a group, the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to the initial transmission and the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to the retransmission in the group can be denoted as M2; for SSB0, the change between groups is in the user group dimension, for SSB1, the change between groups is in the user group dimension, therefore, the interval of the PDCCH monitoring occasion between groups can be denoted as Z, and the interval of the PDCCH monitoring occasion between SSB0 and SSB1 can be denoted as V, because the change between SSB0 and SSB1 is in the SSB dimension, for example, see Figure 17 Figure 17 ​In the eighth interval schematic diagram provided by the embodiments of the present application, the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB0 in the initial transmission and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB0 in the retransmission can be denoted as M2; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB0 in the initial transmission and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB0 in the retransmission can also be denoted as M2; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB1 in the initial transmission and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB1 in the retransmission can also be denoted as M2; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB1 in the initial transmission and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB1 in the retransmission can also be denoted as M2; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB0 in the inter-group retransmission and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB0 in the initial transmission can be denoted as Z; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB1 in the inter-group retransmission and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB1 in the initial transmission can also be denoted as Z; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB0 in the inter-group retransmission and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB1 in the initial transmission can be denoted as V. By setting the PDCCH monitoring occasion through the interval, the paging PDSCH or other channels can be scheduled in the interval.

[0134] For example, the value of the interval M2 between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different transmission batches in the group can be determined in combination with the transmission rate and bandwidth, the type and number of transmission batches, network delay and jitter, the technical requirements of the packet transmission network, and specific application scenarios, and can be set according to actual needs. In this case, the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations.

[0135] For example, the value of the interval Z between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different user groups can be determined in combination with the high-level parameters and the monitoring period of the underlying PDCCH search space. By configuring the value of the user group number to balance the paging capacity and terminal power consumption, the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to adjacent two user groups is determined, and can be set according to actual needs. In this case, the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations.

[0136] For example, the value of the interval V of the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to different SSBs can be related to the time domain parameter of the Control Resource Set (CORESET) configured by the paging search space (Paging Search Space). In order to avoid the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to different SSBs from overlapping in the time domain, the interval V is set to be at least greater than or equal to the duration of the CORESET. The interval V can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations here.

[0137] Option 2: Grouping SSBs based on group size. The terminal can determine the (x×K×G+floor(k / bundleSize)×bundleSize×G+g×bundleSize+mod(k,bundleSize)+1)th PDCCH monitoring occasion as the target PDCCH monitoring occasion.

[0138] Wherein, floor() represents rounding down, bundleSize represents group size, and mod(k,bundleSize) represents k modulo bundleSize.

[0139] For example, assuming that the number of synchronization signal blocks SSBs K is 2, which are SSB0 and SSB1, the number of PDCCH monitoring occasions X corresponding to one user group in one SSB direction, i.e., the number of transmission batches, is 2, which are initial transmission and first retransmission, the number of user groups G is 2, which are user group 0 and user group 1, and the value of the group size bundleSize is 2. SSB0 and SSB1 can be grouped together. When the (x×K×G+floor(k / bundleSize)×bundleSize×G+g×bundleSize+mod(k,bundleSize)+1)th PDCCH monitoring occasion is determined as the target PDCCH monitoring occasion, refer to Table 9 shown below: Table 9

[0140] As can be seen from Table 9, when the paging configuration information includes the group size and SSB0 and SSB1 are grouped together based on the group size, the terminal determines the PDCCH monitoring occasion as follows. First, sort the initial transmission, and then sort the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the SSB0 direction and the SSB1 direction. Then, sort the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the SSB0 direction and the SSB1 direction. Finally, complete the initial transmission, and sort the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the two user groups in the SSB0 direction and the SSB1 direction within the beam residence valid window.

[0141] In the case of continuing the retransmission, the PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 0 in the direction of SSB0 and in the direction of SSB1, and the PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 1 in the direction of SSB0 and in the direction of SSB1 in the case of reordering the retransmission, and the PDCCH monitoring occasions of the two user groups in the direction of SSB0 and in the direction of SSB1 in the case of completing the retransmission are sorted.

[0142] For example, referring to Figure 18 , it can be seen that Figure 18 A ninth PDCCH monitoring occasion sorting diagram provided by the embodiments of the present application can be seen. The PDCCH monitoring occasion sorting scheme is: traversing the elements of the transmission batch dimension in the outermost loop order, for any selected element of the transmission batch dimension, traversing the element set of the SSB grouping dimension in the middle loop, for any selected element of the SSB grouping dimension, traversing the element set of the user group in the innermost loop order to determine the PDCCH monitoring occasion. In this way, by grouping multiple SSBs together, the corresponding paging PDCCHs are arranged together, which can realize the priority paging of the beam position group corresponding to the SSB grouping.

[0143] In combination with the above Figure 18 , it can be seen that in combination with the above Figure 18 , it can be seen that in the case of grouping SSB0 and SSB1 together, the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to SSB0 and the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to SSB1 in the group can be denoted as M1; for initial transmission, the change between groups is in the user group dimension, and for retransmission, the change between groups is in the user group dimension. Therefore, the interval of the PDCCH monitoring occasion between groups can be denoted as Z, and the interval of the PDCCH monitoring occasion between initial transmission and retransmission is in the transmission batch dimension. Therefore, the interval of the PDCCH monitoring occasion between initial transmission and retransmission can be denoted as U. For example, referring to Figure 19 , it can be seen that Figure 19A ninth interval schematic diagram provided by the embodiment of the present application, wherein the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB0 at initial transmission time and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB1 at initial transmission time can be recorded as M1; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB0 at initial transmission time and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB1 at initial transmission time can also be recorded as M1; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB0 at retransmission time and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB1 at retransmission time can also be recorded as M1; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB0 at retransmission time and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB1 at retransmission time can also be recorded as M1; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB1 at initial transmission time between groups and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB0 at initial transmission time can be recorded as Z; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB1 at retransmission time between groups and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB0 at retransmission time can also be recorded as Z; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB1 at initial transmission time between groups and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB0 at retransmission time can be recorded as U, so that the PDCCH monitoring occasion is set through the interval, so that the paging PDSCH or other channels can be scheduled within the interval.

[0144] For example, the value of the interval M1 between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different SSBs within the group can be determined comprehensively according to the signal bandwidth, the modulation mode, the structure of the synchronization information block, the inverse relationship between the group distance and the number of groups, and the specific application scenario, and can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not make specific limitations here.

[0145] For example, the value of the interval Z between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different user groups can be determined together with the high-level parameters and the monitoring period of the bottom PDCCH search space. The number of user groups is determined by balancing the paging capacity and terminal power consumption, thereby determining the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to adjacent two user groups, and can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not make specific limitations here.

[0146] For example, the interval U between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different transmission batches can be related to the network scheduler decision, including system load, traffic priority, paging capacity vs delay trade-off, etc. The value of the interval U can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations here.

[0147] In yet another possible implementation, the paging configuration information includes the number of user groups. The terminal can determine the x x G x K + g x K + k + 1thPDCCH monitoring occasion as the target PDCCH monitoring occasion.

[0148] wherein x represents the number of the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to the same SSB and the same user group within the paging occasion, 0≤xX, G represents the number of user groups, K represents the number of SSBs, g represents the number of the user group, 0≤gG, and k represents the number of the SSB, 0≤kK.

[0149] For example, assuming that the number of synchronization signal blocks SSBs K is 2, SSB0 and SSB1, the number of PDCCH monitoring occasions X corresponding to one user group in one SSB direction, i.e., the number of transmission batches is 2, which are the initial transmission and the first retransmission, the number of user groups G is 2, which are user group 0 and user group 1, when the x x G x K + g x K + k + 1thPDCCH monitoring occasion is determined as the target PDCCH monitoring occasion, refer to Table 10 shown below: Table 10

[0150] As can be seen from Table 10, when determining the target PDCCH monitoring occasion, the PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 0 in SSB0 direction in the initial transmission are sorted first, then the PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 0 in SSB1 direction in the initial transmission are sorted, and thus the PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 0 in SSB0 direction and SSB1 direction within the beam residence effective window in the initial transmission are sorted.

[0151] The PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 1 in SSB0 direction in the initial transmission are sorted, then the PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 1 in SSB1 direction in the initial transmission are sorted, and thus the PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 1 in SSB0 direction and SSB1 direction within the beam residence effective window in the initial transmission are sorted.

[0152] The corresponding PDCCH monitoring occasion of the retransmission is continued to be sorted according to the above steps, and the specific implementation is similar to the specific implementation of the above sorting of the corresponding PDCCH monitoring occasion of the initial transmission. The PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the SSB0 direction during the retransmission can be sorted first, and then the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the SSB1 direction during the retransmission can be sorted. Thus, the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the beam residence effective window in the SSB0 direction and the SSB1 direction during the retransmission is completed.

[0153] The PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the SSB0 direction during the retransmission is continued to be sorted, and then the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the SSB1 direction during the retransmission is sorted. Thus, the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the beam residence effective window in the SSB0 direction and the SSB1 direction during the retransmission is completed.

[0154] For example, referring to Figure 20 as shown, Figure 20 A tenth PDCCH monitoring occasion sorting schematic diagram provided by the embodiment of the application can be seen. The PDCCH monitoring occasion sorting scheme is: traversing the elements of the transmission batch dimension in the outermost loop order, for any selected element of the transmission batch dimension, traversing the element set of the user group dimension in the middle layer loop, for any selected element of the user group dimension, traversing the element set of the SSB in the innermost loop order, to determine the PDCCH monitoring occasion. In this way, the paging of different user groups on the same transmission batch can be concentrated in a time period, and the paging of multiple user groups in multiple SSB directions can be completed in the shortest time (initial transmission).

[0155] In the case where the interval between the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions is equal to 0, it can be understood that the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions are continuously arranged. In the case where the interval between the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions is greater than 0, it can be understood that the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions are arranged with an interval. In the embodiment of the application, the positions of the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions can be continuous or have a certain interval.

[0156] For example, in the embodiment of the application, the interval between the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions is any of the following: The interval between the first symbol of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion and the first symbol of the second PDCCH monitoring occasion in the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions; The interval between the last symbol of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion and the first symbol of the second PDCCH monitoring occasion.

[0157] It can be understood that when the latter PDCCH monitoring occasion is configured in the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions, in addition to the above-mentioned first symbol of the former PDCCH monitoring occasion, and the interval between the first symbol of the former PDCCH monitoring occasion and the first symbol of the latter PDCCH monitoring occasion, or the last symbol of the former PDCCH monitoring occasion, and the interval between the last symbol of the former PDCCH monitoring occasion and the first symbol of the latter PDCCH monitoring occasion, the first symbol of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion, and the interval between the first symbol of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion and the first symbol of the latter PDCCH monitoring occasion, or the last symbol of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion, and the interval between the last symbol of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion and the first symbol of the latter PDCCH monitoring occasion can also be determined. Of course, the first symbol of the latter PDCCH monitoring occasion can also be directly configured, and the like. The specific configuration can be set according to actual needs.

[0158] For example, in the embodiment of the present application, when there is a certain interval between the positions of the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions, the interval can be indicated by an indication information, which can be included in the re-paging configuration information, and the specific configuration can be set according to actual needs. The interval between the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions is set so that the paging PDSCH or other channels can be scheduled in the interval.

[0159] In combination with the technical solutions shown in Figure 20 The interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different transmission batches can be denoted as U, the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different user groups can be denoted as Z, and the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different SSBs can be denoted as V. For example, refer to Figure 21 , Figure 21An interval schematic diagram ten provided by the embodiment of the present application, wherein the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to the initial transmission and the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to the retransmission can be recorded as U; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB1 and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB0 during the initial transmission can be recorded as Z; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB1 and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB0 during the retransmission can be recorded as Z; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB0 and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB1 during the initial transmission can be recorded as v, and the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB0 and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB1 during the initial transmission can be recorded as v, so that the PDCCH monitoring occasion is set through the interval, so that the paging PDSCH or other channels can be scheduled within the interval.

[0160] For example, the interval V of the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to different SSBs can be related to the time domain parameter of the Control Resource Set (CORESET) configured by the paging search space (Paging Search Space), in order to avoid the overlap of the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to different SSBs in the time domain, the interval V is set to be at least greater than or equal to the duration of the CORESET, which can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not make specific limitations here.

[0161] For example, the interval Z between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different user groups can be determined by the high-level parameters and the monitoring period of the bottom PDCCH search space. By configuring the user group number value to balance the paging capacity and terminal power consumption, the interval of the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to adjacent two user groups is determined, which can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not make specific limitations here.

[0162] For example, the interval U between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different transmission batches can be related to the decision of the network scheduler (Network Scheduler Decision), including system load (System Load), traffic priority (Traffic Priority), paging capacity vs delay trade-off (Paging Capacity vs Delay Trade-off), etc., which can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not make specific limitations here.

[0163] In the possible implementation, for example, the paging configuration information can further include a grouping size, denoted as bundleSize, which is used to indicate grouping of the transmission batches or SSBs. For example, the initial transmission and the first retransmission can be grouped into one group, and the multiple paging PDCCH transmissions can be grouped into one group, so that when the demodulation performance of the terminal for a paging PDCCH is poor, the demodulation performance can be improved through combination of multiple paging PDCCHs. Alternatively, the user group 0 and the user group 1 can be grouped into one group, so that the paging PDCCHs corresponding to the user group 0 and the user group 1 can be arranged together, and the priority paging of the user group grouping can be implemented.

[0164] For example, in the case where the paging configuration information includes the grouping size, the terminal determines the target PDCCH monitoring occasion based on the paging configuration information, which can include the following two manners. Manner 1: Grouping the transmission batches based on the grouping size. The terminal can determine the (floor(x / bundleSize)×bundleSize×G×K+g×K×bundleSize+k×bundleSize+mod(x,bundleSize)+1)th PDCCH monitoring occasion as the target PDCCH monitoring occasion.

[0165] Wherein, floor() represents the floor function, bundleSize represents the grouping size, and mod(x,bundleSize) represents the remainder of x divided by bundleSize.

[0166] For example, assuming that the number of synchronization signal blocks SSBs K is 2, which are SSB0 and SSB1, the number of PDCCH monitoring occasions X in one SSB direction corresponding to one user group, that is, the number of transmission batches is 2, which are the initial transmission and the first retransmission, the number of user groups G is 2, which are user group 0 and user group 1, and the value of the grouping size bundleSize is 2, the initial transmission and the first retransmission can be grouped into one group, and when the (floor(x / bundleSize)×bundleSize×G×K+g×K×bundleSize+k×bundleSize+mod(x,bundleSize)+1)th PDCCH monitoring occasion is determined as the target PDCCH monitoring occasion, refer to Table 11 shown below: Table 11

[0167] As can be seen in combination with Table 11, in the case that the paging configuration information includes the packet size, and the initial transmission and the first retransmission are grouped based on the packet size, when the terminal determines the PDCCH monitoring occasion, the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the SSB0 direction is sorted first, the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the SSB1 direction is sorted second, and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the beam residence valid window in the two SSB directions is sorted third.

[0168] In the case that the initial transmission and the first retransmission are grouped, the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the SSB0 direction is sorted first, the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the SSB1 direction is sorted second, and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the beam residence valid window in the two SSB directions is sorted third.

[0169] For example, as can be seen in combination with FIG. 11, Figure 22 as shown, Figure 22 A PDCCH monitoring occasion sorting diagram eleven provided by the embodiment of the application can be seen, and the PDCCH monitoring occasion sorting scheme is: traversing the elements of the transmission batch grouping dimension in the outermost loop order, for any selected element of the transmission batch grouping dimension, traversing the element set of the user group dimension in the middle layer loop, for any selected element of the user group dimension, traversing the element set of the SSB in the innermost loop order, to determine the PDCCH monitoring occasion. In this way, by grouping and sorting the multiple paging PDCCH transmissions, when the demodulation performance of a certain paging PDCCH is poor, the demodulation performance can be improved through the combination of multiple paging PDCCHs.

[0170] As described above, Figure 22 as shown, for example, as described above, Figure 22 as shown, for example, in the case that the initial transmission and the first retransmission are grouped, the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to the initial transmission and the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to the retransmission in the group can be denoted as M2; for user group 0, the change between groups is the SSB dimension, for user group 1, the change between groups is the SSB dimension, therefore, the interval of the PDCCH monitoring occasion between groups can be denoted as V, and the interval of the PDCCH monitoring occasion between user group 0 and user group 1 is the user group dimension, therefore, the interval of the PDCCH monitoring occasion between user group 0 and user group 1 can be denoted as Z, for example, as can be seen in combination with FIG. 11, Figure 23 as shown, Figure 23A twelfth interval schematic diagram provided by the embodiment of the present application, wherein the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB0 in the initial transmission and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB0 in the retransmission can be recorded as M2; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB1 in the initial transmission and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB1 in the retransmission can also be recorded as M2; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB0 in the initial transmission and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB0 in the retransmission can also be recorded as M2; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB1 in the initial transmission and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB1 in the retransmission can also be recorded as M2; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB0 in the inter-group retransmission and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB1 in the initial transmission can be recorded as V; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB0 in the inter-group retransmission and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB1 in the initial transmission can also be recorded as V; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB1 in the inter-group retransmission and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB0 in the initial transmission can be recorded as Z, so that the PDCCH monitoring occasion is set through the interval, so that the paging PDSCH or other channels can be scheduled in the interval.

[0171] For example, the interval M2 between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different transmission batches in the group can be determined in combination with the transmission rate and bandwidth, the type and number of transmission batches, network delay and jitter, the technical requirements of the packet transmission network, and specific application scenarios, and can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not make specific limitations here.

[0172] For example, the interval V of the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different SSBs can be related to the time domain parameters of the Control Resource Set (CORESET) configured by the paging search space (Paging Search Space), in order to avoid the overlap of the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different SSBs in the time domain, the interval V is set to be at least greater than or equal to the duration of the CORESET, and can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not make specific limitations here.

[0173] For example, the interval Z between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different user groups can be determined in combination with the high-level parameter and the monitoring period of the underlying PDCCH search space. The number of user groups is determined by balancing the paging capacity and terminal power consumption through configuration, thereby determining the interval of the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to adjacent two user groups. The interval can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations here.

[0174] Method 2: Grouping user groups based on group size. The terminal can determine the x×G×K+floor(g / bundleSize)×bundleSize×K+k×bundleSize+mod(g,bundleSize)+1thPDCCH monitoring occasion as the target PDCCH monitoring occasion.

[0175] Wherein, floor() represents rounding down, bundleSize represents group size, and mod(g,bundleSize) represents g modulo bundleSize.

[0176] For example, assuming that the number of synchronization signal blocks SSB is 2, namely SSB0 and SSB1, the number of PDCCH monitoring occasions X corresponding to one user group in one SSB direction, namely the number of transmission batches, is 2, namely initial transmission and first retransmission, the number of user groups G is 2, namely user group 0 and user group 1, and the value of group size bundleSize is 2, user group 0 and user group 1 can be grouped together, and the x×G×K+floor(g / bundleSize)×bundleSize×K+k×bundleSize+mod(g,bundleSize)+1thPDCCH monitoring occasion can be determined as the target PDCCH monitoring occasion, which can be seen from Table 12 as follows: Table 12

[0177] It can be seen from Table 12 that, in the case where the paging configuration information includes group size and user group 0 and user group 1 are grouped together based on group size, the terminal determines the PDCCH monitoring occasion as follows: first, sort the initial transmission, and then sort the PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 0 and user group 1 in the SSB0 direction; second, sort the PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 0 and user group 1 in the SSB1 direction during the initial transmission, and thus complete the sorting of the PDCCH monitoring occasions of the two user groups in the beam residence effective window in the SSB0 direction and the SSB1 direction during the initial transmission.

[0178] When the retransmission is continued, the user group 0 and the user group 1 are respectively in the PDCCH monitoring occasion in the direction of SSB0; when the retransmission is reordered, the user group 0 and the user group 1 are respectively in the PDCCH monitoring occasion in the direction of SSB1, and thus the PDCCH monitoring occasion in the beam residence effective window in the direction of SSB0 and the direction of SSB1 of the two user groups is reordered.

[0179] For example, referring to Figure 24 , Figure 24 A twelfth PDCCH monitoring occasion sorting schematic diagram provided by the embodiment of the application can be seen, and the PDCCH monitoring occasion sorting scheme is: traversing the elements of the transmission batch dimension in the outermost loop order, for any selected element of the transmission batch dimension, traversing the element set of the user group grouping dimension in the middle layer loop, for any selected element of the user group grouping dimension, traversing the element set of the SSB in the innermost loop order to determine the PDCCH monitoring occasion, so that the multiple user groups are divided into a group, the paging PDCCH corresponding to the user group grouping is arranged together, and the priority paging of the user group grouping can be realized.

[0180] In combination with the above Figure 24 , for example, in combination with the above Figure 24 , for example, in the case of dividing the user group 0 and the user group 1 into a group, the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to the user group 0 and the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to the user group 1 in the group can be recorded as M3; for the initial transmission, the interval between the groups is the change of the SSB dimension, and for the retransmission, the interval between the groups is the change of the SSB dimension, therefore, the interval of the PDCCH monitoring occasion between the groups can be recorded as V, and the interval of the PDCCH monitoring occasion between the initial transmission and the retransmission is the change of the transmission batch dimension, therefore, the interval of the PDCCH monitoring occasion between the initial transmission and the retransmission can be recorded as U, for example, referring to Figure 25 , Figure 25A twelfth interval schematic diagram provided by the embodiment of the present application, wherein the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB0 and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB0 during initial transmission in the group can be denoted as M3; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB1 and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB1 during initial transmission in the group can also be denoted as M3; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB0 and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB0 during retransmission in the group can also be denoted as M3; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB1 and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB1 during retransmission in the group can also be denoted as M3; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB0 during initial transmission in the group and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB1 during initial transmission in the group can be denoted as V; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB0 during retransmission in the group and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB1 during retransmission in the group can also be denoted as V; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the direction of SSB1 during initial transmission in the group and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the direction of SSB0 during retransmission in the group can be denoted as U, so that the PDCCH monitoring occasion is set by the interval, so that the paging PDSCH or other channels can be scheduled in the interval.

[0181] For example, the value of the interval M3 between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different user groups in the group can be determined in combination with the allocation of communication resources, interference management between user groups, network topology and coverage, and specific application scenarios, and can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not make specific limitations here.

[0182] For example, the value of the interval V of the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different SSBs can be related to the time domain parameter of the Control Resource Set (CORESET) configured by the paging search space (Paging Search Space), in order to avoid the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different SSBs overlapping in the time domain, the interval V is set to be at least greater than or equal to the duration of the CORESET, and can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not make specific limitations here.

[0183] For example, the interval U between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different transmission batches can be related to the network scheduler decision, including system load, traffic priority, paging capacity vs delay trade-off, etc. The value of U can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations here.

[0184] In yet another possible implementation, the terminal can determine the g x X x K + x x K + k + 1thPDCCH monitoring occasion as the target PDCCH monitoring occasion.

[0185] wherein g represents the number of the user group, 0≤g

[0186] For example, assuming that the number of synchronization signal blocks SSB is 2, SSB0 and SSB1, the number of PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to one user group in one SSB direction, i.e., the number of transmission batches, is 2, i.e., initial transmission and first retransmission, the number of user groups G is 2, i.e., user group 0 and user group 1, and the g x X x K + x x K + k + 1thPDCCH monitoring occasion is determined as the target PDCCH monitoring occasion, which can be seen from the following table 13: Table 13

[0187] As can be seen from table 13, when determining the target PDCCH monitoring occasion, the PDCCH monitoring occasions of the initial transmission of user group 0 in the SSB0 direction are sorted first, and then the PDCCH monitoring occasions of the initial transmission of user group 0 in the SSB1 direction are sorted, thereby completing the sorting of the PDCCH monitoring occasions of the initial transmission of user group 0 in the beam dwell effective window of the two SSB directions.

[0188] The PDCCH monitoring occasions of the retransmission of user group 0 in the SSB0 direction are sorted, and then the PDCCH monitoring occasions of the retransmission of user group 0 in the SSB1 direction are sorted, thereby completing the sorting of the PDCCH monitoring occasions of the retransmission of user group 0 in the beam dwell effective window of the two SSB directions.

[0189] Continue to sort the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to the user group 1 according to the above steps, and the specific implementation is as follows: first, sort the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the initial transmission of the user group 1 in the SSB0 direction, then sort the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the initial transmission of the user group 1 in the SSB1 direction, and thus the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the initial transmission of the user group 1 in the beam residence effective window of the two SSB directions is sorted.

[0190] Continue to sort the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the retransmission of the user group 1 in the SSB0 direction, and then sort the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the retransmission of the user group 1 in the SSB1 direction, and thus the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the retransmission of the user group 1 in the beam residence effective window of the two SSB directions is sorted.

[0191] For example, referring to FIG. 13, it can be seen that the PDCCH monitoring occasion sorting scheme provided by the thirteenth PDCCH monitoring occasion sorting diagram of the embodiment of the present application is as follows: the elements in the user group dimension are traversed in the outermost loop order, for any selected element in the user group dimension, the element set in the transmission batch dimension is traversed in the middle loop, for any selected element in the transmission batch dimension, the element set of the SSB is traversed in the innermost loop order, so as to determine the PDCCH monitoring occasion, so that the same user group can be paged as soon as possible in all SSB directions. Figure 26 Figure 26 For example, referring to FIG. 13, it can be seen that the PDCCH monitoring occasion sorting scheme provided by the thirteenth PDCCH monitoring occasion sorting diagram of the embodiment of the present application is as follows: the elements in the user group dimension are traversed in the outermost loop order, for any selected element in the user group dimension, the element set in the transmission batch dimension is traversed in the middle loop, for any selected element in the transmission batch dimension, the element set of the SSB is traversed in the innermost loop order, so as to determine the PDCCH monitoring occasion, so that the same user group can be paged as soon as possible in all SSB directions.

[0192] For example, referring to FIG. 13, it can be seen that the PDCCH monitoring occasion sorting scheme provided by the thirteenth PDCCH monitoring occasion sorting diagram of the embodiment of the present application is as follows: the elements in the user group dimension are traversed in the outermost loop order, for any selected element in the user group dimension, the element set in the transmission batch dimension is traversed in the middle loop, for any selected element in the transmission batch dimension, the element set of the SSB is traversed in the innermost loop order, so as to determine the PDCCH monitoring occasion, so that the same user group can be paged as soon as possible in all SSB directions. Figure 26 For example, referring to FIG. 13, it can be seen that the interval between the adjacent two PDCCH monitoring occasions is greater than or equal to 0.

[0193] In the case where the interval between the adjacent two PDCCH monitoring occasions is equal to 0, it can be understood that the adjacent two PDCCH monitoring occasions are continuously arranged; in the case where the interval between the adjacent two PDCCH monitoring occasions is greater than 0, it can be understood that the adjacent two PDCCH monitoring occasions are arranged with an interval, that is, in the embodiment of the present application, the positions of the adjacent two PDCCH monitoring occasions can be continuous or with a certain interval.

[0194] For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the interval between the adjacent two PDCCH monitoring occasions is any one of the following: The interval between the first symbol of the former PDCCH monitoring occasion and the first symbol of the latter PDCCH monitoring occasion in the adjacent two PDCCH monitoring occasions; The interval between the last symbol of the former PDCCH monitoring occasion and the first symbol of the latter PDCCH monitoring occasion.

[0195] ​It can be understood that when the latter PDCCH monitoring occasion is configured in the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions, in addition to the above-mentioned first symbol of the former PDCCH monitoring occasion, and the interval between the first symbol of the former PDCCH monitoring occasion and the first symbol of the latter PDCCH monitoring occasion, or the last symbol of the former PDCCH monitoring occasion, and the interval between the last symbol of the former PDCCH monitoring occasion and the first symbol of the latter PDCCH monitoring occasion, the first symbol of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion, and the interval between the first symbol of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion and the first symbol of the latter PDCCH monitoring occasion, or the last symbol of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion, and the interval between the last symbol of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion and the first symbol of the latter PDCCH monitoring occasion can also be determined. Of course, the first symbol of the latter PDCCH monitoring occasion can also be directly configured, and the like. The specific configuration can be set according to actual needs.

[0196] For example, in the embodiment of the present application, when there is a certain interval between the positions of the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions, the interval can be indicated by an indication information, which can be included in the re-paging configuration information, and the specific configuration can be set according to actual needs. The interval between the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions is set so that the paging PDSCH or other channels can be scheduled in the interval.

[0197] In combination with the technical solutions shown in Figure 26 The interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different user groups can be denoted as Z, the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different transmission batches can be denoted as U, and the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different SSBs can be denoted as V. For example, refer to Figure 27 , Figure 27A thirteenth interval schematic diagram provided by the embodiment of the present application, wherein the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 0 and the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 1 can be denoted as Z; for user 0, the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to initial transmission and the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to retransmission can be denoted as U; for user group 1, the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to initial transmission and the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to retransmission can be denoted as U; for user group 0, the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion in the direction of SSB0 corresponding to initial transmission and the PDCCH monitoring occasion in the direction of SSB1 can be denoted as V; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion in the direction of SSB0 corresponding to retransmission and the PDCCH monitoring occasion in the direction of SSB1 can be denoted as V; for user group 1, the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion in the direction of SSB0 corresponding to initial transmission and the PDCCH monitoring occasion in the direction of SSB1 can be denoted as V; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion in the direction of SSB0 corresponding to retransmission and the PDCCH monitoring occasion in the direction of SSB1 can be denoted as V, so that by setting the PDCCH monitoring occasion through the interval, the paging PDSCH or other channels can be scheduled within the interval.

[0198] For example, the value of the interval V of the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to different SSBs can be related to the time domain parameter of the Control Resource Set (CORESET) configured by the paging search space (Paging Search Space), in order to avoid the overlap of the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to different SSBs in the time domain, the interval V is set to be at least greater than or equal to the duration of the CORESET, which can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not make specific limitations here.

[0199] For example, the value of the interval Z between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different user groups can be determined by the high-level parameters and the monitoring period of the bottom PDCCH search space. By configuring the value of the user group to balance the paging capacity and the terminal power consumption, the interval of the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to adjacent two user groups is determined, which can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not make specific limitations here.

[0200] For example, the interval U between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different transmission batches can be related to the network scheduler decision, including system load, traffic priority, paging capacity vs delay trade-off, etc. The value of U can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations here.

[0201] In this possible implementation, for example, the paging configuration information can further include a group size, denoted as bundleSize, which is used to group user groups or transmission batches. For example, user group 0 and user group 1 can be grouped together, and the paging PDCCH corresponding to the user group group can be arranged together, so as to realize the priority paging of the user group group. Alternatively, the initial transmission and the first repeated transmission can be grouped together, and the multiple paging PDCCH transmissions can be grouped together, so as to ensure that when the terminal has poor demodulation performance for a paging PDCCH, the terminal can combine multiple paging PDCCHs to improve the demodulation performance.

[0202] For example, in the case where the paging configuration information includes the group size, the terminal can determine the target PDCCH monitoring occasion based on the paging configuration information in the following two ways. Method 1: Grouping user groups based on the group size. The terminal can determine the target PDCCH monitoring occasion as the (floor(g / bundleSize)×bundleSize×X×K+x×K×bundleSize+k×bundleSize+mod(g,bundleSize)+1)th PDCCH monitoring occasion.

[0203] Wherein, floor() represents rounding down, bundleSize represents the group size, and mod(g,bundleSize) represents the remainder of g divided by bundleSize.

[0204] For example, assuming there are 2 synchronization signal blocks (SSBs), K, namely SSB0 and SSB1, and the number of PDCCH listening opportunities X corresponding to a user group in one SSB direction (i.e., the number of transmission batches) is 2, namely the initial transmission and the first retransmission, and the number of user groups G is 2, namely user group 0 and user group 1, and the bundle size is 2, SSB0 and SSB1 can be grouped together. Then, when the floor(g / bundleSize)×bundleSize×X×K+x×K×bundleSize+k×bundleSize+mod(g,bundleSize)+1th PDCCH listening opportunity is determined as the target PDCCH listening opportunity, please refer to Table 14 below: Table 14

[0205] As can be seen from Table 14, when the paging configuration information includes the group size, and user group 0 and user group 1 are grouped together based on the group size, when the terminal determines the PDCCH listening timing, it first sorts the PDCCH listening timing of the initial transmissions of user group 0 and user group 1 in the SSB0 direction, and then sorts the PDCCH listening timing of the initial transmissions of user group 0 and user group 1 in the SSB1 direction. Thus, the sorting of the PDCCH listening timing of the initial transmissions of user group 0 and user group 1 within the effective beam camping window in the two SSB directions is completed.

[0206] Continue sorting the PDCCH listening times for retransmissions of user group 0 and user group 1 in the SSB0 direction, and then sort the PDCCH listening times for retransmissions of user group 0 and user group 1 in the SSB1 direction. This completes the sorting of PDCCH listening times for retransmissions of user group 0 and user group 1 within the effective beam dwell windows of the two SSB directions.

[0207] For example, see Figure 28 As shown, Figure 28 The fourteenth illustration of the sorting scheme for PDCCH listening timing provided in this application embodiment shows that the sorting scheme for PDCCH listening timing is as follows: the elements of the user group group dimension are traversed in the outermost loop order; for any selected element of the user group group dimension, the element set of the transmission batch dimension is traversed in the middle layer loop; for any selected element of the transmission batch dimension, the element set of the SSB is traversed in the innermost loop order to determine the PDCCH listening timing. In this way, by grouping multiple user groups together and arranging the paging PDCCHs corresponding to the user group groups together, priority paging of the user group groups can be achieved.

[0208] In combination with the above Figure 28 As shown, for example, in conjunction with the aboveFigure 28 As shown, in the case of grouping user group 0 and user group 1 into one group, the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 0 and the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 1 in the group can be denoted as M3; for initial transmission, the change is in the SSB dimension between groups, and for retransmission, the change is in the SSB dimension between groups, therefore, the interval of the PDCCH monitoring occasion between groups can be denoted as V, and the interval of the PDCCH monitoring occasion between initial transmission and retransmission is in the transmission batch dimension, therefore, the interval of the PDCCH monitoring occasion between initial transmission and retransmission can be denoted as U, for example, see Figure 29 As shown, Figure 29 A fourteenth interval schematic diagram provided by the embodiment of the application, wherein the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the initial transmission of user group 0 in the SSB0 direction and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the initial transmission of user group 1 in the SSB0 direction in the group can be denoted as M3; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the initial transmission of user group 0 in the SSB1 direction and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the initial transmission of user group 1 in the SSB1 direction in the group can also be denoted as M3; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the retransmission of user group 0 in the SSB0 direction and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the retransmission of user group 1 in the SSB0 direction in the group can also be denoted as M3; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the retransmission of user group 0 in the SSB1 direction and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the retransmission of user group 1 in the SSB1 direction in the group can also be denoted as M3; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the initial transmission of user group 1 in the SSB0 direction and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the initial transmission of user group 0 in the SSB1 direction between groups can be denoted as V; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the retransmission of user group 1 in the SSB0 direction and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the retransmission of user group 0 in the SSB1 direction between groups can also be denoted as V; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the initial transmission of user group 1 in the SSB1 direction and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the retransmission of user group 0 in the SSB0 direction between groups can be denoted as U, so that the PDCCH monitoring occasion is set by the interval, so that the paging PDSCH or other channels can be scheduled in the interval.

[0209] For example, the value of the interval M3 between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different user groups in the group can be determined comprehensively according to the allocation of communication resources, interference management between user groups, network topology and coverage, and specific application scenarios, and can be set according to actual needs, which is not limited in the embodiment of the application.

[0210] For example, the value of the interval V of the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different SSBs can be related to the time domain parameters of the Control Resource Set (CORESET) configured by the paging search space (Paging Search Space). In order to avoid the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different SSBs from overlapping in the time domain, the interval V is set to be at least greater than or equal to the duration of the CORESET. The interval V can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations here.

[0211] For example, the value of the interval U between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different transmission batches can be related to the Network Scheduler Decision, including System Load, Traffic Priority, Paging Capacity vs Delay Trade-off, etc. The interval U can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations here.

[0212] Method 2: Grouping transmission batches based on group size. The terminal can determine the g×X×K+floor(x / bundleSize)×bundleSize×K+k×bundleSize+mod(x,bundleSize)+1thPDCCH monitoring occasion as the target PDCCH monitoring occasion.

[0213] Wherein, floor() represents rounding down, bundleSize represents the group size, and mod(x,bundleSize) represents the remainder of x divided by bundleSize.

[0214] For example, assuming that the number of synchronization signal blocks SSBs K is 2, which are SSB0 and SSB1, the number of PDCCH monitoring occasions X in one SSB direction corresponding to one user group, i.e., the number of transmission batches, is 2, which are initial transmission and first retransmission, the number of user groups G is 2, which are user group 0 and user group 1, and the value of the group size bundleSize is 2. The initial transmission and the first retransmission can be grouped into one group. When the g×X×K+floor(x / bundleSize)×bundleSize×K+k×bundleSize+mod(x,bundleSize)+1thPDCCH monitoring occasion is determined as the target PDCCH monitoring occasion, refer to Table 15 shown below: Table 15

[0215] As can be seen from Table 15, when the paging configuration information includes the group size and the initial transmission and the first retransmission are grouped together based on the group size, when the terminal determines the PDCCH listening timing, it first sorts the PDCCH listening timing of the initial transmission and retransmission of user group 0 in the SSB0 direction, and then sorts the PDCCH listening timing of the initial transmission and retransmission of user group 0 in the SSB1 direction. Thus, the sorting of the PDCCH listening timing of the initial transmission and retransmission of user group 0 within the effective beam camping window in the two SSB directions is completed.

[0216] Continue sorting the PDCCH listening times of user group 1's initial transmission and retransmission in the SSB0 direction, and then sort the PDCCH listening times of user group 1's initial transmission and retransmission in the SSB1 direction. This completes the sorting of PDCCH listening times of user group 1's initial transmission and retransmission within the effective beam dwell window in the two SSB directions.

[0217] For example, see Figure 30 As shown, Figure 30 The fifteenth illustration of the sorting scheme for PDCCH listening timing provided in this application shows that the sorting scheme for PDCCH listening timing is as follows: the elements of the user group dimension are traversed in the outermost loop order; for any selected element of the user group dimension, the element set of the transmission batch group dimension is traversed in the middle layer loop order; for any selected element of the transmission batch group dimension, the element set of the SSB is traversed in the innermost loop order to determine the PDCCH listening timing. In this way, by grouping multiple paging PDCCH transmissions together, it can be ensured that when the demodulation performance of a certain paging PDCCH is poor, the demodulation performance can be improved by merging multiple paging PDCCHs.

[0218] In combination with the above Figure 30 As shown, for example, in conjunction with the above Figure 30 As shown, for example, when the initial transmission and the first retransmission are grouped together, the interval between the PDCCH listening time corresponding to the initial transmission and the PDCCH listening time corresponding to the retransmission within the group can be denoted as M2; for user group 0, the change between groups is at the SSB level, and for user group 1, the change between groups is at the SSB level. Therefore, the interval between PDCCH listening times between groups can be denoted as V, while the change between user group 0 and user group 1 is at the user group level. Therefore, the interval between PDCCH listening times between user group 0 and user group 1 can be denoted as Z. For example, see [link to example]. Figure 31 As shown, Figure 31A fifteenth interval schematic diagram provided by the embodiment of the present application, wherein the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the initial transmission of user group 0 in the SSB0 direction and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the retransmission of user group 0 in the SSB0 direction can be recorded as M2; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the initial transmission of user group 0 in the SSB1 direction and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the retransmission of user group 0 in the SSB1 direction can also be recorded as M2; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the initial transmission of user group 1 in the SSB0 direction and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the retransmission of user group 1 in the SSB0 direction can also be recorded as M2; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the initial transmission of user group 1 in the SSB1 direction and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the retransmission of user group 1 in the SSB1 direction can also be recorded as M2; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the retransmission of user group 0 in the SSB0 direction and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the initial transmission of user group 0 in the SSB1 direction can be recorded as V; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the retransmission of user group 1 in the SSB0 direction and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the initial transmission of user group 1 in the SSB1 direction can also be recorded as V; the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the retransmission of user group 0 in the SSB1 direction and the PDCCH monitoring occasion of the initial transmission of user group 1 in the SSB0 direction can be recorded as Z, so that the PDCCH monitoring occasion is set by the interval, so that the paging PDSCH or other channels can be scheduled in the interval.

[0219] For example, the interval M2 between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different transmission batches in the group can be determined in combination with the transmission rate and bandwidth, the type and number of transmission batches, network delay and jitter, the technical requirements of the packet transmission network, and specific application scenarios, and can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not make specific limitations here.

[0220] For example, the interval V of the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different SSBs can be related to the time domain parameters of the Control Resource Set (CORESET) configured by the paging search space (Paging Search Space), in order to avoid the overlap of the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different SSBs in the time domain, the interval V is set to be at least greater than or equal to the duration of the CORESET, and can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not make specific limitations here.

[0221] For example, the interval Z between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different user groups can be determined in combination with the high-level parameter and the monitoring period of the underlying PDCCH search space. The number of user groups is determined by balancing the paging capacity and terminal power consumption through configuration, thereby determining the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to adjacent two user groups. The interval can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations here.

[0222] In yet another possible implementation, the terminal can determine the gth Kth Xth PDCCH monitoring occasion as the target PDCCH monitoring occasion.

[0223] wherein g represents the number of the user group, 0≤g

[0224] For example, assuming that the number of synchronization signal blocks SSBs K is 2, SSB0 and SSB1, the number of PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to one user group in one SSB direction X, i.e., the number of transmission batches is 2, which are the initial transmission and the first retransmission, the number of user groups G is 2, which are user group 0 and user group 1, when the gth Kth Xth PDCCH monitoring occasion is determined as the target PDCCH monitoring occasion, refer to Table 16 as shown below: Table 16

[0225] As can be seen from Table 16, when determining the target PDCCH monitoring occasion, the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 0 in the direction of SSB0 are sorted first, and then the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 0 in the direction of SSB0 are sorted, thereby completing the sorting of the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasions and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 0 in the direction of SSB0 within the beam residence effective window.

[0226] The initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 0 in the direction of SSB1 are sorted, and then the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 0 in the direction of SSB1 are sorted, thereby completing the sorting of the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasions and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasions of user group 0 in the direction of SSB1 within the beam residence effective window.

[0227] Continue sorting the PDCCH listening timings corresponding to user group 1 according to the above steps. Specifically, the sorting is the same as sorting the PDCCH listening timings of user group 0's initial transmission in the SSB0 direction. First, sort the PDCCH listening timings of user group 1's initial transmission in the SSB0 direction, and then sort the PDCCH listening timings of user group 1's retransmission in the SSB0 direction. This completes the sorting of the initial transmission PDCCH listening timings and retransmission PDCCH listening timings of user group 1 within the effective beam dwell window in the SSB0 direction.

[0228] Continue sorting the initial PDCCH listening timings of user group 1 in the SSB1 direction, and then sort the retransmission PDCCH listening timings of user group 1 in the SSB1 direction. This completes the sorting of the initial PDCCH listening timings and retransmission PDCCH listening timings of user group 1 within the effective beam dwell window in the SSB1 direction.

[0229] For example, see Figure 32 As shown, Figure 32 The sixteenth illustration of the sorting scheme for PDCCH listening timing provided in this application shows that the sorting scheme for PDCCH listening timing is as follows: the elements of the user group dimension are traversed in the outermost loop order; for any selected element in the user group dimension, the element set of the SSB dimension is traversed in the middle layer loop; for any selected element in the SSB dimension, the element set of the transmission batch is traversed in the innermost loop order to determine the PDCCH listening timing. In this way, the same user group can be paged in all SSB directions as quickly as possible.

[0230] In combination with the above Figure 32 As shown, for example, the interval between two adjacent PDCCH listening opportunities is greater than or equal to 0.

[0231] When the interval between two adjacent PDCCH listening times is equal to 0, it can be understood that the two adjacent PDCCH listening times are set continuously; when the interval between two adjacent PDCCH listening times is greater than 0, it can be understood that the two adjacent PDCCH listening times are set at intervals. That is, in this embodiment of the application, the positions of two adjacent PDCCH listening times can be continuous or there can be a certain interval.

[0232] For example, in the embodiments of this application, the interval between two adjacent PDCCH listening opportunities is any one of the following: The interval between the first symbol of the preceding PDCCH listening time and the first symbol of the following PDCCH listening time in two adjacent PDCCH listening times; The interval between the last symbol of the previous PDCCH listener and the first symbol of the next PDCCH listener.

[0233] It can be understood that when the latter PDCCH monitoring occasion is configured in the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions, in addition to the above-mentioned first symbol of the former PDCCH monitoring occasion, and the interval between the first symbol of the former PDCCH monitoring occasion and the first symbol of the latter PDCCH monitoring occasion, or the last symbol of the former PDCCH monitoring occasion, and the interval between the last symbol of the former PDCCH monitoring occasion and the first symbol of the latter PDCCH monitoring occasion, the first symbol of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion, and the interval between the first symbol of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion and the first symbol of the latter PDCCH monitoring occasion, or the last symbol of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion, and the interval between the last symbol of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion and the first symbol of the latter PDCCH monitoring occasion can also be determined. Of course, the first symbol of the latter PDCCH monitoring occasion can also be directly configured, and the like. The specific configuration can be set according to actual needs.

[0234] For example, in the embodiment of the present application, when there is a certain interval between the positions of the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions, the interval can be indicated by an indication information, which can be included in the re-paging configuration information, and the specific configuration can be set according to actual needs. The interval between the two adjacent PDCCH monitoring occasions is set so that the paging PDSCH or other channels can be scheduled in the interval.

[0235] In combination with the technical solutions shown in Figure 32 The interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different user groups can be denoted as Z, the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different SSBs can be denoted as V, and the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different transmission batches can be denoted as U. For example, refer to Figure 33 , Figure 33A sixteenth interval schematic diagram provided by the embodiment of the present application, wherein the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 0 and the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 1 can be denoted as Z; for user group 0, the time interval between the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion in the SSB0 direction and the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion in the SSB1 direction can be denoted as V; for user group 1, the time interval between the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion in the SSB0 direction and the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion in the SSB1 direction can be denoted as V; for user group 0, the interval between the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion in the SSB0 direction and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion in the SSB0 direction can be denoted as U; the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion in the SSB1 direction and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion in the SSB1 direction can also be denoted as U; for user group 1, the interval between the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion in the SSB0 direction and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion in the SSB0 direction can be denoted as U; the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion in the SSB1 direction and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion in the SSB1 direction can also be denoted as U, so that by setting the interval of the PDCCH monitoring occasion, the paging PDSCH or other channels can be scheduled within the interval.

[0236] For example, the interval V of the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to different SSBs can be related to the time domain parameter of the Control Resource Set (CORESET) configured by the paging search space (Paging Search Space), in order to avoid the overlap of the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to different SSBs in the time domain, the interval V is set to be at least greater than or equal to the duration of the CORESET, which can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not make specific limitations here.

[0237] For example, the interval Z between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different user groups can be determined by the high-level parameters and the monitoring period of the bottom PDCCH search space. By configuring the user group number value to balance the paging capacity and terminal power consumption, the interval of the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to adjacent two user groups is determined, which can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not make specific limitations here.

[0238] For example, the interval U between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different transmission batches can be related to the network scheduler decision, including system load, traffic priority, paging capacity vs delay trade-off, etc. The value of U can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations here.

[0239] In this possible implementation, for example, the paging configuration information can further include a grouping size, denoted as bundleSize, which is used to indicate grouping of user groups or SSBs. For example, user group 0 and user group 1 can be grouped together, and the paging PDCCH corresponding to the user group grouping is arranged together, which can realize priority paging of the user group grouping. Alternatively, SSB0 and SSB1 can be grouped together, and the paging PDCCH corresponding to the SSB grouping is arranged together, which can realize priority paging of the wave position group corresponding to the SSB grouping.

[0240] For example, in the case where the paging configuration information includes the grouping size, the terminal determines the target PDCCH monitoring occasion based on the paging configuration information, which can include the following two ways: Way 1: Grouping user groups based on the grouping size. The terminal can determine the (floor(g / bundleSize)×bundleSize×K×X+k×X×bundleSize+x×bundleSize+mod(g,bundleSize)+1)thPDCCH monitoring occasion as the target PDCCH monitoring occasion, and perform PDCCH monitoring at the determined PDCCH monitoring occasion.

[0241] Wherein, floor() represents rounding down, bundleSize represents the grouping size, and mod(g,bundleSize) represents g modulo bundleSize.

[0242] For example, assuming there are 2 SSBs (Synchronization Signal Blocks) K, namely SSB0 and SSB1, and the number of PDCCH listening opportunities X corresponding to a user group in one SSB direction (i.e., the number of transmission batches) is 2, namely the initial transmission and the first retransmission, and the number of user groups G is 2, namely user group 0 and user group 1, and the bundle size is 2, so user group 0 and user group 1 can be grouped together, then when the floor(g / bundleSize)×bundleSize×K×X+k×X×bundleSize+x×bundleSize+mod(g,bundleSize)+1 PDCCH listening opportunity is determined as the target PDCCH listening opportunity, please refer to Table 17 below: Table 17

[0243] As can be seen from Table 17, when the paging configuration information includes the group size, and user group 0 and user group 1 are grouped together based on the group size, when the terminal determines the PDCCH listening timing, it first sorts the initial PDCCH listening timing of user group 0 and user group 1 in the SSB0 direction, and then sorts the retransmission PDCCH listening timing of user group 0 and user group 1 in the SSB0 direction. Thus, the sorting of the initial PDCCH listening timing and retransmission PDCCH listening timing within the beam camping effective window of user group 0 and user group 1 in the SSB0 direction is completed.

[0244] Continue sorting the initial PDCCH listening times of user group 0 and user group 1 in the SSB1 direction, and then sort the retransmission PDCCH listening times of user group 0 and user group 1 in the SSB1 direction. This completes the sorting of the initial PDCCH listening times and retransmission PDCCH listening times of user group 0 and user group 1 in the effective beam dwell window in the SSB1 direction.

[0245] For example, see Figure 34 As shown, Figure 34 The seventeenth illustration of the sorting scheme for PDCCH listening timing provided in this application shows that the sorting scheme for PDCCH listening timing is as follows: the elements of the user group group dimension are traversed in the outermost loop order; for any selected element of the user group group dimension, the element set of the SSB dimension is traversed in the middle layer loop; for any selected element of the SSB dimension, the element set of the transmission batch is traversed in the innermost loop order to determine the PDCCH listening timing. In this way, by grouping multiple user groups together and arranging the paging PDCCHs corresponding to the user group groups together, priority paging of the user group groups can be achieved.

[0246] In combination with the aboveFigure 34 As shown, for example, in combination with the above Figure 34 As shown, for example, in the case of grouping user group 0 and user group 1 into a group, the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 0 and the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to user group 1 within the group can be denoted as M3; for the SSB0 direction, the change is in the transmission batch dimension between groups, and for the SSB1 direction, the change is in the transmission batch dimension between groups, therefore, the interval of the PDCCH monitoring occasion between groups can be denoted as U, and the interval of the PDCCH monitoring occasion between SSB0 and SSB1 is the SSB dimension change, therefore, the interval of the PDCCH monitoring occasion between SSB0 and SSB1 can be denoted as V, for example, see Figure 35 As shown, Figure 35 A seventeenth interval schematic diagram provided by the embodiment of the application, wherein the interval between the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the SSB0 direction and the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the SSB0 direction within the group can be denoted as M3; the interval between the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the SSB0 direction and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the SSB0 direction within the group can also be denoted as M3; the interval between the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the SSB1 direction and the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the SSB1 direction within the group can also be denoted as M3; the interval between the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the SSB1 direction and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the SSB1 direction within the group can also be denoted as M3; the interval between the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the SSB0 direction and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the SSB0 direction between groups can be denoted as U; the interval between the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the SSB1 direction and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the SSB1 direction between groups can also be denoted as U; the interval between the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the SSB0 direction and the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the SSB1 direction between groups can be denoted as V, thus by setting the interval of the PDCCH monitoring occasion, the paging PDSCH or other channels can be scheduled within the interval.

[0247] For example, the value of the interval M3 between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different user groups within the group can be determined comprehensively according to the allocation of communication resources, interference management between user groups, network topology and coverage, and specific application scenarios, and can be set according to actual needs, which is not limited in the embodiment of the application.

[0248] For example, the interval U between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different transmission batches can be related to the network scheduler decision, including system load, traffic priority, paging capacity vs delay trade-off, etc. The value of the interval U can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations here.

[0249] For example, the interval V between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different SSBs can be related to the time domain parameter of the Control Resource Set (CORESET) configured by the paging search space. In order to avoid the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different SSBs from overlapping in the time domain, the interval V is set to be at least greater than or equal to the duration of the CORESET. The value of the interval V can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations here.

[0250] Option 2: Grouping SSBs based on group size. The terminal can determine the g×K×X+floor(k / bundleSize)×bundleSize×X+x×bundleSize+mod(k,bundleSize)+1thPDCCH monitoring occasion as the target PDCCH monitoring occasion.

[0251] Wherein, floor() represents rounding down, bundleSize represents the group size, and mod(k,bundleSize) represents the remainder of k divided by bundleSize.

[0252] For example, assuming that the number of synchronization signal blocks SSBs K is 2, which are SSB0 and SSB1, the number of PDCCH monitoring occasions X in one SSB direction corresponding to one user group, i.e., the number of transmission batches is 2, which are initial transmission and first retransmission, the number of user groups G is 2, which are user group 0 and user group 1, and the value of the group size bundleSize is 2. SSB0 and SSB1 can be grouped together. When the g×K×X+floor(k / bundleSize)×bundleSize×X+x×bundleSize+mod(k,bundleSize)+1thPDCCH monitoring occasion is determined as the target PDCCH monitoring occasion, refer to Table 18 shown below: Table 18

[0253] As can be seen in combination with Table 18, in the case that the paging configuration information includes the packet size, and SSB0 and SSB1 are divided into a group based on the packet size, when the terminal determines the PDCCH monitoring occasion, the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the SSB0 direction and the SSB1 direction is sorted first, and then the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the SSB0 direction and the SSB1 direction is sorted, and thus the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion in the beam residence valid window of user group 0 in the SSB0 direction and the SSB1 direction are sorted.

[0254] The initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the SSB0 direction and the SSB1 direction is sorted, and then the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the SSB0 direction and the SSB1 direction is sorted, and thus the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion in the beam residence valid window of user group 1 in the SSB0 direction and the SSB1 direction are sorted.

[0255] For example, referring to Figure 36 , it can be seen that Figure 36 , the eighteenth PDCCH monitoring occasion sorting schematic diagram provided by the embodiment of the present application can be seen, and the PDCCH monitoring occasion sorting scheme is: traversing the elements of the user group dimension in the outermost loop order, for any selected element of the user group dimension, traversing the element set of the SSB group dimension in the middle layer loop, for any selected element of the SSB group dimension, traversing the element set of the transmission batch in the innermost loop order to determine the PDCCH monitoring occasion, and thus by dividing a plurality of SSBs into a group, the paging PDCCH corresponding to the SSB group is arranged together, and the priority paging of the beam position group corresponding to the SSB group can be realized.

[0256] As shown in the above Figure 36 , for example, as shown in the above Figure 36 , for example, in the case that SSB0 and SSB1 are divided into a group, the interval between the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to SSB0 and the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to SSB1 can be denoted as M1; for user group 0, the change between groups is the transmission batch dimension, for user group 1, the change between groups is the transmission batch dimension, therefore, the interval of the PDCCH monitoring occasion between groups can be denoted as U, and the change between user group 0 and user group 1 is the user group dimension, therefore, the interval of the PDCCH monitoring occasion between user group 0 and user group 1 can be denoted as Z, for example, referring to Figure 37 , it can be seen that Figure 37An eighteenth interval schematic diagram provided in the embodiments of the present application, wherein the interval between the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the SSB0 direction and the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the SSB1 direction can be denoted as M1; the interval between the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the SSB0 direction and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the SSB1 direction can also be denoted as M1; the interval between the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the SSB0 direction and the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the SSB1 direction can also be denoted as M1; the interval between the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the SSB0 direction and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the SSB1 direction can also be denoted as M1; the interval between the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the SSB1 direction and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the SSB0 direction can be denoted as U; the interval between the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the SSB1 direction and the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the SSB0 direction can also be denoted as U; the interval between the retransmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 0 in the SSB1 direction and the initial transmission PDCCH monitoring occasion of user group 1 in the SSB0 direction can be denoted as Z, so that the PDCCH monitoring occasions are set through the interval, so that the paging PDSCH or other channels can be scheduled in the interval.

[0257] For example, the interval M1 between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different SSBs in the group can be determined in combination with the signal bandwidth, the modulation mode, the structure of the synchronization information block, the inverse relationship between the group distance and the number of groups, and the specific application scenario, and can be set according to actual needs, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0258] For example, the interval U between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different transmission batches can be related to the decision of the network scheduler, including the system load, the traffic priority, the trade-off between the paging capacity and the delay, and the like, and can be set according to actual needs, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0259] For example, the interval Z between the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different user groups can be determined in combination with the high-level parameter and the monitoring period of the underlying PDCCH search space. The number of user groups is determined by balancing the paging capacity and terminal power consumption through configuration, thereby determining the interval of the PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to adjacent two user groups. The interval can be set according to actual needs, and the present embodiment does not make specific limitations here.

[0260] Figure 38 Another flowchart of a method for determining a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasion provided by the present embodiment is shown in FIG. 2. The method can be applied to a network device, and for example, can be used in the network device shown in FIG. 1. Figure 38 The method for determining a PDCCH monitoring occasion can include the following steps. S3801, generating paging configuration information; wherein the paging configuration information is used to indicate a plurality of PDCCH monitoring occasions in a paging occasion, and the plurality of PDCCH monitoring occasions are determined based on the number of synchronization signal blocks (SSBs), the number of user groups in the paging occasion, and the number of PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to one user group in one SSB direction. S3802, sending the paging configuration information to a terminal, wherein the paging configuration information is used to determine a target PDCCH monitoring occasion.

[0261] For example, in the present embodiment, the paging occasion is a set composed of K×X×G PDCCH monitoring occasions, K represents the number of SSBs, G represents the number of user groups in the paging occasion, and X represents the number of PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to the same SSB and the same user group in the paging occasion; wherein the SSB corresponds to one or multiple wave positions, and the user group is determined based on the terminal identifier.

[0262] For example, in the present embodiment, the paging configuration information includes the number of user groups, and the target PDCCH monitoring occasion is the k×X×G+x×G+g+1 PDCCH monitoring occasion. wherein k represents the number of SSBs, 0≤k

[0263] For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the paging configuration information further comprises a group size, and the target PDCCH monitoring occasion is the k th PDCCH monitoring occasion in the bundleSize G X + g X + x + 1 PDCCH monitoring occasions in the paging occasion; wherein floor() represents rounding down, bundleSize represents the group size, and mod(k, bundleSize) represents k modulo bundleSize.

[0264] For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the paging configuration information further comprises a group size, and the target PDCCH monitoring occasion is the k th PDCCH monitoring occasion in the bundleSize G X + g X + x + 1 PDCCH monitoring occasions in the paging occasion; wherein floor() represents rounding down, bundleSize represents the group size, and mod(k, bundleSize) represents k modulo bundleSize.

[0265] For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the paging configuration information comprises the number of user groups, and the target PDCCH monitoring occasion is the k th PDCCH monitoring occasion in the G X + g X + x + 1 PDCCH monitoring occasions in the paging occasion; wherein k represents the number of SSB, 0≤k

[0266] For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the paging configuration information further comprises a group size, and the target PDCCH monitoring occasion is the k th PDCCH monitoring occasion in the bundleSize G X + g X + x + 1 PDCCH monitoring occasions in the paging occasion; wherein floor() represents rounding down, bundleSize represents the group size, and mod(k, bundleSize) represents k modulo bundleSize.

[0267] For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the paging configuration information further comprises a group size, and the target PDCCH monitoring occasion is the (k×G×X+floor(g / bundleSize)×bundleSize×X+x×bundleSize+mod(g,bundleSize)+1)th PDCCH monitoring occasion. wherein floor() represents rounding down, bundleSize represents the group size, and mod(g,bundleSize) represents g modulo bundleSize.

[0268] For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the paging configuration information comprises the number of user groups, and the target PDCCH monitoring occasion is the (x×K×G+k×G+g+1)th PDCCH monitoring occasion. wherein x represents the number of PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to the same SSB and the same user group in the paging occasion, 0≤xX, K represents the number of SSBs, G represents the number of user groups, k represents the number of SSBs, 0≤kK, and g represents the gth user group, 0≤gG.

[0269] For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the paging configuration information further comprises a group size, and the target PDCCH monitoring occasion is the (floor(x / bundleSize)×bundleSize×K×G+k×G×bundleSize+g×bundleSize+mod(x,bundleSize)+1)th PDCCH monitoring occasion. wherein floor() represents rounding down, bundleSize represents the group size, and mod(x,bundleSize) represents x modulo bundleSize.

[0270] For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the paging configuration information further comprises a group size, and the target PDCCH monitoring occasion is the (x×K×G+floor(k / bundleSize)×bundleSize×G+g×bundleSize+mod(k,bundleSize)+1)th PDCCH monitoring occasion. wherein floor() represents rounding down, bundleSize represents the group size, and mod(k,bundleSize) represents k modulo bundleSize.

[0271] For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the paging configuration information comprises the number of user groups, and the target PDCCH monitoring occasion is the x x G x K + g x K + k + 1th PDCCH monitoring occasion. Wherein, x represents the number of the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to the same SSB and the same user group in the paging occasion, 0≤xX, G represents the number of the user groups, K represents the number of the SSBs, g represents the gth user group, 0≤gG, and k represents the number of the SSB, 0≤kK.

[0272] For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the paging configuration information further comprises a grouping size, and the target PDCCH monitoring occasion is the floor(x / bundleSize) x bundleSize x G x K + g x K x bundleSize + k x bundleSize + mod(x, bundleSize) + 1th PDCCH monitoring occasion. Wherein, floor() represents the floor function, bundleSize represents the grouping size, and mod(x, bundleSize) represents the remainder of x divided by bundleSize.

[0273] For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the paging configuration information further comprises a grouping size, and the target PDCCH monitoring occasion is the x x G x K + floor(g / bundleSize) x bundleSize x K + k x bundleSize + mod(g, bundleSize) + 1th PDCCH monitoring occasion. Wherein, floor() represents the floor function, bundleSize represents the grouping size, and mod(g, bundleSize) represents the remainder of g divided by bundleSize.
