[0096] In some embodiments, the NR system supports 5 SSB time domain transmission cases, case A (SCS = 15KHz, working above 3GHz band), case B (SCS = 30KHz, working above 3GHz band), case C (SCS = 30KHz, TDD and working above 3GHz band), case D (SCS = 120KHz, working in FR2 band), case E (SCS = 240KHz, working in FR2 band).

[0097] In some embodiments, the time domain pattern of SBB in each case depends on the sub-carrier space (SCS) of SSB, working frequency, Time Division Duplex (TDD) mode, Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) mode, etc.

[0098] For example, different cases can correspond to the number of SSBs in a SSB burst and the time domain resource position occupied in the burst. For example, the duration of the SSB burst is 5ms; for example, the transmission period of SSB is 20ms.

[0099] Further, the network device can configure the transmission period and time domain pattern of SSB through related information carried by a System Information Block (SIB), such as SIB1, and the maximum transmission period of SSB is 160ms. For different cases, the SSB pattern can refer to related technologies, which will not be described here in detail.

[0100] In some embodiments, the network device can adjust the transmission state of the SSB for some needs. For example, the network device is in network energy saving (NES) need, and can suspend the transmission of the SSB, for example, by setting the SSB in on demand transmission state to suspend the transmission of the SSB.

[0101] In some embodiments, for the adjustment of the SSB, the network device can indicate through the indication information carried by the SIB1. However, this process must be realized through the update of the system information, which will bring a large overhead.

[0102] FIG. 2 is an interaction schematic diagram of an information receiving method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0103] As shown in FIG. 2, the information receiving method can include the following steps:

[0104] In step S201, the terminal receives the secondary cell activation or deactivation (Scell activation / de-activation) signaling.

[0105] In some embodiments, the network device sends the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling to the terminal.

[0106] In some embodiments, the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling can be carried by a media access control control element (MAC CE), for example, or can be carried by other ways, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0107] In some embodiments, the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling is used to indicate that the SSB is in a legacy transmission state or an on demand transmission state.

[0108] For example, the SSB is in the on demand transmission state, which can also be called on demand SSB on;

[0109] For example, the SSB is in the legacy transmission state, which can also be called on demand SSB off.

[0110] In step S202, the terminal determines that the SSB is in the legacy transmission state or the on demand transmission state according to the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling.

[0111] In some embodiments, the SSB in the legacy transmission state can mean that the SSB is transmitted based on the configuration or the protocol predefined rule.

[0112] In some embodiments, the SSB is in the on-demand transmission state, which means that the SSB stops being transmitted based on the configured or protocol predefined rule, and waits until the SSB needs to be transmitted (for example, based on the implementation of the network device) and then is transmitted based on the configured or protocol predefined rule.

[0113] For example, the SSB in the first cell is in the on-demand transmission state, and the network device can decide whether to transmit the SSB in the first cell based on the implementation.

[0114] For example, the SSB in the first cell is in the on-demand transmission state, and the terminal can send request information to the network device in the case of needing to acquire the SSB in the first cell, the request information being used to request the network device to transmit the SSB in the first cell. In this case, the network device can decide whether to transmit the SSB in the first cell based on the implementation.

[0115] For example, the request information can also be referred to as a wake-up signal (WUS) when the network device and / or the first cell is in the NES state.

[0116] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the network device can indicate to the terminal that the SSB is in the traditional transmission state or the on-demand transmission state through the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling, without having to indicate through a separate signaling, thereby facilitating the saving of signaling overhead.

[0117] In some embodiments, the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling indicating that the SSB is in the traditional transmission state or the on-demand transmission state can mean that the SSB of at least one of the primary cell (Pcell) and the secondary cell (Scell) is in the traditional transmission state or the on-demand transmission state. For example, the SSB of the secondary cell can be indicated to be in the traditional transmission state or the on-demand transmission state.

[0118] In some embodiments, a first number of bits in the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling is used to indicate that the SSB is in the traditional transmission state or the on-demand transmission state.

[0119] For example, the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling can include at least one bit, and a first number of bits in the at least one bit can be used to indicate that the SSB is in the traditional transmission state or the on-demand transmission state. The first number can be a value greater than or equal to 1.

[0120] It should be noted that the first number can be indicated by the network device or determined based on a predefined rule (for example, a protocol agreement), and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0121] In some embodiments, the first number of bits is also used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0122] a time domain relationship between the SSB and the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling;

[0123] a duration of the SSB;

[0124] an actual transmission index of the SSB.

[0125] In some embodiments, the first number of bits in the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling can indicate a time domain relationship between the SSB and the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling.

[0126] For example, the terminal receives the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling in the first time domain unit, and according to the first number of bits in the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling, determines that the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling is used to indicate that the SSB is in the non-on-demand state, and the time domain relationship between the SSB and the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling is that the offset of the SSB relative to the first time domain unit is k time domain units. Then the terminal can determine that the SSB is in the non-on-demand state in the kth time domain unit after the first time domain unit, and k is a value greater than or equal to 1.

[0127] In some embodiments, the first number of bits in the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling can indicate a duration of the SSB.

[0128] For example, the terminal receives the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling, and according to the first number of bits in the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling, determines that the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling is used to indicate that the SSB is in the on-demand state, and the duration of the SSB is m time domain units. Then the terminal can determine that the SSB is in the non-on-demand state and lasts for m time domain units, and m is a value greater than or equal to 1.

[0129] In some embodiments, the first number of bits in the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling can indicate an actual transmission index of the SSB.

[0130] Since the SSB is generally transmitted in units of SSB bursts, and in one SSB burst, multiple SSBs can be included, each SSB corresponding to an index. However, the network device transmits the SSB, and does not necessarily transmit each SSB in the SSB burst, but can only transmit part of the SSBs in the SSB burst, that is, only part of the SSBs in the SSB burst are actually transmitted, therefore, it is necessary to indicate the index of the actually transmitted SSB to the terminal, so that the terminal receives the SSB at the resource position corresponding to the SSB of the index, and does not need to receive the SSB at the resource position corresponding to the SSB of other indexes, which is beneficial to saving the overhead of the terminal.

[0131] For example, the terminal receives the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling, and determines, according to the first quantity of bits in the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling, that the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling is used to indicate that the SSB is in the non-on-demand state, and the actual transmission index of the SSB is index#2, index#3, index#4. Taking an example in which an SSB burst contains 8 SSBs, the terminal can determine, according to the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling, that the 8 SSBs are actually transmitted only for the 3 SSBs corresponding to index#2, index#3, and index#4, and can further determine that the 3 SSBs are in the non-on-demand state.

[0132] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, although the network device indicates, through the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling, that the SSB is in the traditional transmission state or the on-demand transmission state, how to implement the traditional function of the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling, that is, to indicate the secondary cell activation or deactivation, is exemplarily described below through several embodiments.

[0133] In some embodiments, in a case where the first quantity of bits is not in the preset state, the first quantity of bits is used to indicate that the SSB is in the traditional transmission state or the on-demand transmission state.

[0134] In some embodiments, in a case where the first quantity of bits is in the preset state, the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling is used to indicate the secondary cell activation or deactivation.

[0135] For example, the first quantity of bits can be N bits, and N is a value greater than or equal to 1. The preset state can be that all N bits are 0, or all N bits are 1, or other values of N bits, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0136] In some embodiments, when the N bits are in the preset state, the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling is used to indicate the secondary cell activation or deactivation.

[0137] In this case, the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling is not used to indicate that the SSB is in the traditional transmission state or the on-demand transmission state. For example, the terminal can determine, according to all bits in the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling or bits other than the N bits in the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling, the secondary cell activation or deactivation.

[0138] In some embodiments, when the N bits are not in the preset state, the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling is used to indicate that the SSB is in the traditional transmission state or the on-demand transmission state.

[0139] In this case, the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling is not used to indicate the secondary cell activation or deactivation, and the terminal can determine the secondary cell activation or deactivation according to other signaling, for example, the other signaling can be radio resource control (RRC) signaling, downlink control information (DCI), MAC CE, etc., and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0140] Alternatively, the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling indicates the secondary cell activation or deactivation through bits other than N bits, and in this case, the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling can indicate the secondary cell activation or deactivation and can also indicate that the SSB is in the traditional transmission state or the on-demand transmission state.

[0141] In some embodiments, a second number of bits in the first number of bits is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0142] The secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling is used to indicate the secondary cell activation or deactivation;

[0143] The secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling is used to indicate that the SSB is in the traditional transmission state or the on-demand transmission state;

[0144] The secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling is used to indicate the secondary cell activation or deactivation and is only used to indicate that the SSB is in the traditional transmission state or the on-demand transmission state.

[0145] In some embodiments, in the case where the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling is used to indicate that the SSB is in the traditional transmission state or the on-demand transmission state, or the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling indicates the secondary cell activation or deactivation and is used to indicate that the SSB is in the traditional transmission state or the on-demand transmission state, a third number of bits is used to indicate that the SSB is in the traditional transmission state or the on-demand transmission state, and the third number of bits is the bits in the first number of bits other than the second number of bits.

[0146] In some embodiments, the first number of bits can be N bits, and N is a value greater than or equal to 1. The N bits can include two parts, where the second number of bits is, for example, M bits, and the third number of bits is N-M bits in the N bits other than the M bits.

[0147] In this embodiment, the M bits can be used to indicate the function of the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling.

[0148] For example, the M bits can indicate that the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling is used to indicate the secondary cell activation or deactivation, and the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling is not used to indicate that the SSB is in the legacy transmission state or the on-demand transmission state. The terminal can determine the secondary cell activation or deactivation according to all bits in the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling or bits other than the N bits in the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling.

[0149] For example, the M bits can indicate that the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling is used to indicate that the SSB is in the legacy transmission state or the on-demand transmission state, and the terminal can determine that the SSB is in the legacy transmission state or the on-demand transmission state according to N-M bits other than the M bits in the N bits.

[0150] In this case, the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling is not used to indicate the secondary cell activation or deactivation, and the terminal can determine the secondary cell activation or deactivation according to other signaling, for example, the other signaling can be RRC signaling, DCI, MAC CE, etc., and the disclosure does not limit this.

[0151] For example, the M bits can indicate that the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling is used to indicate both the secondary cell activation or deactivation and the SSB in the legacy transmission state or the on-demand transmission state.

[0152] In this case, the terminal determines that the SSB is in the legacy transmission state or the on-demand transmission state according to N-M bits other than the M bits in the N bits. The secondary cell activation or deactivation can also be determined according to bits other than the N bits.

[0153] In some embodiments, the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling is used to indicate that the SSB is in the legacy transmission state or the on-demand transmission state.

[0154] In some embodiments, the terminal does not expect the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling to be used to indicate the secondary cell activation or deactivation.

[0155] For example, the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling is used to indicate (for example, by indicating through all or part of the bits in the signaling) that the SSB is in the legacy transmission state or the on-demand transmission state, and is not used to indicate the secondary cell activation or deactivation.

[0156] In this case, the terminal can not expect the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling to be used to indicate the secondary cell activation or deactivation, so that after receiving the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling, the terminal can determine that the SSB is in the legacy transmission state or the on-demand transmission state according to the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling, and does not determine the secondary cell activation or deactivation according to the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling.

[0157] In some embodiments, the terminal receives radio resource control signaling, wherein the radio resource control signaling is used to indicate the secondary cell activation or deactivation.

[0158] In the case that the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling is used to indicate that the SSB is in the traditional transmission state or the on-demand transmission state, the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling does not serve its traditional function, i.e., indicating the secondary cell activation or deactivation, and thus other signaling is needed to serve the function of indicating the secondary cell activation or deactivation.

[0159] The terminal can determine the secondary cell activation or deactivation according to the other signaling, e.g., the other signaling can include RRC signaling, and then the terminal determines the secondary cell activation or deactivation according to the RRC signaling. It should be noted that the other signaling is not limited to RRC signaling, but can also include other arbitrary signaling different from the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0160] In some embodiments, the terminal receives first indication information, wherein the first indication information is used to indicate that the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling is used to indicate that the SSB is in the traditional transmission state or the on-demand transmission state.

[0161] Since the traditional function of the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling is to indicate the secondary cell activation or deactivation, and in the case that the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling is used to indicate that the SSB is in the traditional transmission state or the on-demand transmission state, but not to indicate the secondary cell activation or deactivation, the function of the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling has changed.

[0162] In order to make the terminal clear that the function of the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling has changed, the network device can send first indication information to the terminal, wherein the first indication information can be, for example, RRC signaling, DCI, MAC CE, etc., and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0163] The terminal can accurately determine the function of the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling according to the first indication information, i.e., used to indicate that the SSB is in the traditional transmission state or the on-demand transmission state, but not used to indicate the secondary cell activation or deactivation.

[0164] In some embodiments, in the case that the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling is used to indicate the secondary cell activation, the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling received by the terminal is used to indicate that the SSB is in the traditional transmission state or the on-demand transmission state.

[0165] In this embodiment, the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling can realize two functions, one is to indicate the secondary cell activation or deactivation (for example, to indicate the secondary cell activation), and the other is to indicate that the SSB is in the traditional transmission state or the on-demand transmission state. Among them, the function of indicating that the SSB is in the traditional transmission state or the on-demand transmission state can be realized after indicating the secondary cell activation, and the terminal can determine the function of the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling according to the state of the secondary cell.

[0166] For example, in the case where the secondary cell is not activated, the terminal receives the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling #1, which can indicate the secondary cell activation. And the subsequent secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling received by the terminal is used to indicate that the SSB is in the traditional transmission state or the on-demand transmission state.

[0167] For example, the subsequent received secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling #2 is used to indicate that the SSB is in the traditional transmission state, and the subsequently received secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling #3 is used to indicate that the SSB is in the on-demand transmission state, and so on, the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling is used to indicate that the SSB is in the traditional transmission state, the SSB is in the on-demand transmission state in turn.

[0168] Or, for example, the subsequent received secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling #2 is used to indicate that the SSB is in the on-demand transmission state, and the subsequently received secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling #3 is used to indicate that the SSB is in the traditional transmission state, and so on, the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling is used to indicate that the SSB is in the on-demand transmission state, the SSB is in the traditional transmission state in turn.

[0169] In some embodiments, in the case where the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling is used to indicate the secondary cell activation, within a first time length, the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling received by the terminal is used to indicate that the SSB is in the traditional transmission state or the on-demand transmission state.

[0170] In this embodiment, the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling can realize two functions, one is to indicate the secondary cell activation or deactivation (for example, to indicate the secondary cell activation), and the other is to indicate that the SSB is in the traditional transmission state or the on-demand transmission state within a first time length after the secondary cell activation. Among them, the function of indicating that the SSB is in the traditional transmission state or the on-demand transmission state can be realized within the first time length after indicating the secondary cell activation.

[0171] It should be noted that the first time length can be indicated by the network device, or determined based on a pre-defined rule (for example, a protocol agreement), and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0172] For example, in the case that the secondary cell is not activated, the terminal receives the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling #1, which can indicate the secondary cell activation. And within the first time T after the secondary cell activation, the terminal receives the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling, which is used to indicate that the SSB is in the traditional transmission state or the on-demand transmission state.

[0173] For example, the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling #2 received by the terminal within the first time T after the secondary cell activation is used to indicate that the SSB is in the traditional transmission state, and the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling #3 received again is used to indicate that the SSB is in the on-demand transmission state, and so on, the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling is used to indicate that the SSB is in the traditional transmission state, the SSB is in the on-demand transmission state, respectively.

[0174] Or, for example, the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling #2 received by the terminal within the first time T after the secondary cell activation is used to indicate that the SSB is in the on-demand transmission state, and the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling #3 received again is used to indicate that the SSB is in the traditional transmission state, and so on, the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling is used to indicate that the SSB is in the on-demand transmission state, the SSB is in the traditional transmission state, respectively.

[0175] And the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling received by the terminal after the first time T after the secondary cell activation is used to indicate the secondary cell activation or deactivation, for example, in the case that the secondary cell is activated, the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling can be used to indicate the secondary cell deactivation.

[0176] The communication method related to the embodiments of the present disclosure can include at least one of steps S201-S202. For example, step S201 can be implemented as an independent embodiment, step S202 can be implemented as an independent embodiment, step S201+S202 can be implemented as an independent embodiment, but not limited thereto.

[0177] In some embodiments, steps S201 and S202 can be exchanged in order or executed simultaneously.

[0178] In some embodiments, step S201 is optional, and one or more of these steps can be omitted or replaced in different embodiments.

[0179] In some embodiments, step S202 is optional, and one or more of these steps can be omitted or replaced in different embodiments.

[0180] In some embodiments, other optional implementations described before or after the corresponding description of FIG. 2 can be referred to.

FIG. 3 is a schematic flowchart of an information receiving method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The information receiving method shown in this embodiment can be performed by a terminal.

[0189] In some embodiments, the first number of bits is also used to indicate at least one of the following: a time domain relationship between the synchronization signal block and the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling; a duration of the synchronization signal block; an actual transmission index of the synchronization signal block.

[0190] In some embodiments, the terminal does not expect the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling to indicate the secondary cell activation or deactivation.

[0191] In some embodiments, the method further includes receiving radio resource control signaling, wherein the radio resource control signaling is used to indicate the secondary cell activation or deactivation.

[0194] In some embodiments, in a case where the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling is used to indicate the secondary cell activation, the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling received by the terminal is used to indicate that the synchronization signal block is in the legacy transmission state or the on-demand transmission state within a first time length.

[0199] It should be noted that the embodiments shown in FIG. 4 can be independently implemented, or can be implemented in combination with at least one other embodiment of the present disclosure. The specific implementation can be selected as needed, and the present disclosure is not limited.

[0200] In some embodiments, a first number of bits in the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling is used to indicate that the synchronization signal block is in the legacy transmission state or the on-demand transmission state.

[0201] In some embodiments, in a case that the first quantity of bits is not in the preset state, the first quantity of bits is used to indicate that the synchronization signal block is in the legacy transmission state or the on-demand transmission state; or in a case that the first quantity of bits is in the preset state, the secondary cell activation or deactivation signaling is used to indicate the secondary cell activation or deactivation.
