[0046] In the embodiments of the present application, "protocol" may refer to a standard protocol in the field of communications, for example, it may include an LTE protocol, a NR protocol, and related protocols used in future communication systems, and this application does not limit this.

[0047] Next, the receiver system is introduced:

[0048] 1 shows a schematic diagram of a receiver system 100 provided in the related art. The receiver system 100 includes a wake-up receiver (WUR) 110 and a main radio 120.

[0049] In some embodiments, the primary receiver 120 can be equivalently understood as a primary transceiver, or a primary air interface communication unit.

[0050] In order to further save power, WUR is introduced to receive wake-up signals. The wake-up receiver has the characteristics of extremely low cost, extremely low complexity and extremely low power consumption. It mainly receives the wake-up signal through an envelope detection-based method. Therefore, the wake-up signal (Wake Up Signal, WUS) received by the wake-up receiver is different from the modulation method, waveform, etc. of the signal carried by the physical downlink control channel (Physical Downlink Control CHannel, PDCCH) defined in the relevant standards. The wake-up signal is mainly an envelope signal that modulates the carrier signal by amplitude shift keying (ASK). The demodulation of the envelope signal can also be completed by driving a low-power circuit with the energy provided by the wireless radio frequency signal, so it can be passive. The wake-up receiver can also be actively powered by the terminal device. Regardless of the power supply method, the receiver greatly reduces power consumption compared to traditional receivers. For example, WUR can achieve power consumption of less than 1 milliwatt, which is much lower than the power consumption of tens to hundreds of milliwatts of the main receiver. The wake-up receiver can be combined with the terminal device as an additional module of the terminal device's receiver, or it can be used alone as a wake-up function module of a terminal device.

[0051] As shown in Figure 1, in the initial state, wake-up receiver 110 is awake and main receiver 120 is off. Wake-up receiver 110 receives a wake-up signal and, based on the wake-up signal, determines whether to wake up main receiver 120. If so, the network device can send a wake-up signal to wake-up receiver 110, which then wakes up main receiver 120 upon receipt of the wake-up signal. Otherwise, main receiver 120 remains off.

[0052] In some embodiments, when the wake-up signal is sent, it is used to indicate wake-up; when the wake-up signal is not sent, it is used to indicate not wake-up.

[0053] In some embodiments, when a wake-up signal carrying a wake-up indication is sent, it is used to indicate wake-up; when a wake-up signal carrying a non-wake-up indication is sent, it is used to indicate non-wake-up.

[0054] Next, we will introduce On-Off Keying (OOK) modulation:

[0055] The signal received by the wake-up receiver 110 can be called a WUR signal. The WUR signal adopts a relatively simple modulation method to meet the receiving conditions of the wake-up receiver 110 with extremely low power consumption and extremely low complexity. Among them, the wake-up signal (WUS) is one of the WUR signals. The generation method of the WUR signal adopts OOK modulation. The OOK modulation principle is to modulate the amplitude of the carrier signal to non-zero values ​​and zero values, corresponding to on (On) and off (Off), respectively, to represent information bits. OOK is also known as binary amplitude shift keying (2ASK).

[0056] Figure 2 shows a schematic diagram of the OOK modulation process provided by the related art. The WUR encoder 210 converts the information bits into corresponding on-waveform generation (On-Waveform Generation, On-WG) signals and off-waveform generation (Off-Waveform Generation, Off-WG) signals. The On-WG signal represents "1" and the Off-WG represents "0". A window 220 is used to control the duration of the On-WG signal and the Off-WG signal so that each bit is transmitted within an appropriate time. In the analog and RF module 230, the On-WG signal and the Off-WG signal are converted into analog signals and RF modulated.

[0057] The OOK signal is generated using multiple carriers (MC), hence the name Multi-Carrier On-Off Keying (MC-OOK). MC-OOK can be generated using multi-carrier modulation, such as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), ensuring compatibility with related OFDM systems.

[0058] Figure 3 shows a schematic diagram of an MC-OOK signal, as provided by related art. By mapping corresponding amplitude values ​​to multiple subcarriers in the frequency domain and converting them to a time-domain signal using an inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT), the waveform resembles that of ASK modulation, where a high level represents a bit 1 and a low level represents a bit 0.

[0059] Next, we will introduce Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurements:

[0060] For wireless communication systems, accurate measurement of cell quality and beam quality is fundamental to effective radio resource management and mobility management. For 5G NR, the primary measurement reference signals are the Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) and the Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS).

[0061] SSB Measurement Timing Configuration (SMTC) is the time domain resource configuration information for SSB measurement. It is mainly used to configure a set of measurement windows (SMTC windows) based on SSB measurement. The size, position, period and other parameters of the SMTC window can be adjusted through configuration parameters.

[0062] Figure 4 shows a schematic diagram of an SMTC provided by the related art. For example, the SSB set in each SMTC window includes eight SSBs. For example, the SSB burst set includes eight SSBs numbered 0 through 7. Each SMTC window is 5 milliseconds long, the SMTC window period between the first and second SMTC windows is 40 milliseconds, and the SSB transmission period is 20 milliseconds.

[0063] When the terminal device is making measurements, each frequency point corresponds to a set of SMTC configurations to indicate the available measurement window information on that frequency point. However, this restriction is gradually being relaxed. In order to match the different synchronization signal block periods corresponding to different cells, two sets of SMTC configurations are allowed to be configured for designated cell measurements during connected state same-frequency measurements. For example, in addition to the basic SMTC configuration, a more dense set of measurement windows can be configured for use in the serving cell and the cells indicated in the designated cell list. The idle state measurement also expands the maximum number of SMTC configurations on each frequency point to two to further meet the flexibility of network operations.

[0064] High-level signaling can indicate the specified configuration information of the specific measurement reference signal through the reference signal configuration (ReferenceSignalConfig) parameter. For SSB-based measurements, the SSB to be measured indication (SSB-ToMeasure) uses a bitmap to indicate the position information of the SSB actually transmitted in the SSB burst set. The terminal device can know which SSB candidate positions actually transmit SSBs and which SSB candidate positions do not transmit SSBs through the SSB to be measured indication. The terminal device does not need to perform measurements at SSB candidate positions where SSBs are not transmitted, thereby achieving energy saving of the terminal device.

[0065] For CSI-RS-based measurements, network equipment can configure one or more CSI-RS resources for terminal devices to measure through high-level signaling. Taking cells as units, high-level signaling can provide cell-level CSI-RS configuration parameters, such as the cell identification (ID), the cell's measurement bandwidth, and resource density. Furthermore, since each cell can be configured with multiple CSI-RS resources, the parameter configuration also provides configuration information for each CSI-RS resource level, such as the specified CSI-RS index, the time and frequency domain location information occupied by the CSI-RS resource, and the sequence generation method.

[0066] Next, we will introduce the mobility management of terminal devices:

[0067] The mobility management of terminal devices in the NR system includes: RRC idle state (RRC_IDLE) or RRC inactive state (RRC_INACTIVE) mobility management, and RRC connected state (RRC_CONNECTED) mobility management. Among them, RRC idle state or RRC inactive state mobility management includes cell selection and reselection processes, and RRC connected state mobility management includes the RRC connected state handover process.

[0068] 1. RRC idle state (RRC_IDLE) or RRC inactive state (RRC_INACTIVE) mobility management:

[0069] For a terminal device in RRC idle state or RRC inactive state, the premise for being able to reside in a cell is that the signal quality of the cell meets the cell selection S criterion, that is, the signal receiving power S corresponding to the cell rxlev >0dB, and the received signal quality is S qual >0dB, the signal quality of the cell includes the measurement results of Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) and Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ). After the terminal device selects a suitable cell, it will continue to evaluate the cell reselection. The measurements to be performed for evaluating the cell reselection are divided and performed according to the reselection priority of each frequency point, including:

[0070] (1) For high-priority frequencies, neighbor cell measurements are always performed;

[0071] (2) For the same frequency point, when the RSRP value and RSRQ value of the serving cell are both higher than the same frequency measurement threshold configured by the network equipment, the terminal device can stop the measurement of the same frequency neighboring cell; otherwise, measurement is required;

[0072] (3) For frequencies with the same priority and frequencies with a lower priority, when the RSRP value and RSRQ value of the serving cell are both higher than the inter-frequency measurement threshold configured by the network device, the terminal device can stop measuring the neighboring cells with the same priority and frequencies with a lower priority; otherwise, measurement is required.

[0073] After obtaining multiple candidate cells through measurement, the process of determining the target cell for cell reselection is similar to that of the LTE system. Cells on high-priority frequencies are prioritized for reselection. Specifically, the following steps are performed:

[0074] (1) For cell reselection on a high-priority frequency, the signal quality must be above a certain threshold and last for a specified period of time, and the terminal device must reside in the source cell for no less than 1 second.

[0075] (2) For cell reselection on the same frequency and priority frequency, the R criterion (sorted by RSRP) must be met, the signal quality of the new cell is better than that of the current cell for a specified period of time, and the terminal device stays in the source cell for no less than 1 second;

[0076] (3) For reselection of cells on low-priority frequencies, there must be no cells on high-priority frequencies or frequencies with the same priority that meet the requirements, the signal quality of the source cell must be below a certain threshold, the signal quality of the cell on the low-priority frequency must be above a certain threshold and last for a specified period of time, and the terminal device must reside in the source cell for no less than 1 second.

[0077] During cell reselection on the same frequency and priority frequency, when multiple candidate cells meet the requirements, the LTE system selects the best cell as the target cell for reselection by sorting by RSRP. Since terminal devices in the NR system access cells via beams, to increase the probability of successful access via a good beam, both cell signal quality and the number of good beams must be considered when determining the target cell. To achieve this, the NR system first selects the best multiple cells with similar signal quality before selecting the target cell, and then selects the cell with the largest number of good beams as the target cell.

[0078] 2. RRC connected state (RRC_CONNECTED) mobility management:

[0079] The mobility management of RRC-connected terminal devices is mainly achieved through the handover process controlled by the network. The NR system inherits the handover process of the LTE system, which mainly includes three stages: handover preparation, handover execution and handover completion.

[0080] For example, the network device is a base station and the terminal device is a user equipment (UE). In the handover preparation phase, the source base station makes a handover decision after receiving the measurement report sent by the UE and initiates a handover request to the target base station. If the target cell accepts the handover request, it sends a handover response message to the source base station through the inter-base station interface. The handover response message contains the configuration information of the target cell, that is, the handover command.

[0081] During the handover execution phase, the source base station sends a handover command to the UE. Upon receiving the handover command, the UE disconnects from the source cell and begins establishing downlink synchronization with the target cell. It then initiates a random access procedure to the target cell using the random access resources configured in the handover command and reports a handover completion message upon completion. While the UE is accessing the target cell, the source base station forwards data packets received from the User Plane Function (UPF) to the target base station and sends the target base station information about the state of uplink and downlink data transmission and reception within the source cell before forwarding.

[0082] During the handover completion phase, the target base station sends a path switching request to the Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), requesting the AMF to switch the data packet transmission path from the UPF to the access network to the target base station. Once the AMF responds to the request, it indicates that the path switching is successful, and the target base station can instruct the source base station to release the UE context information. At this point, the entire UE connection is switched to the target cell.

[0083] Next, the RRM measurement relaxation mechanism is introduced:

[0084] Terminal devices in a non-connected state need to perform RRM measurements on the serving cell and other neighboring cells based on the configuration of the network equipment to support mobility operations, such as cell reselection. For the sake of energy saving of the terminal device, when the channel quality of the terminal device in the serving cell is good, the terminal device may not start RRM measurements on the same frequency point and the same or lower priority inter-frequency / inter-system frequency points. At the same time, the measurement interval for RRM measurements on high-priority inter-frequency / inter-system frequency points can be increased, specifically including:

[0085] (1) When the RSRP of the terminal device in the serving cell is higher than SIntraSearchP, and the RSRQ of the terminal device in the serving cell is higher than SIntraSearchQ, the terminal device may not initiate RRM measurement for the neighboring cell with the same frequency point. SIntraSearchP and SIntraSearchQ are threshold parameters configured by the network device.

[0086] (2) When the RSRP of a terminal device on the serving cell is higher than SnonIntraSearchP, and the RSRQ of the terminal device on the serving cell is higher than SnonIntraSearchQ, the terminal device may not initiate RRM measurements for neighboring cells with equal or lower priority and inter-frequency / inter-system frequencies. SnonIntraSearchP and SnonIntraSearchQ are threshold parameters configured by the network device. At the same time, for high-priority inter-frequency / inter-system frequencies, the terminal device may use the RRM measurement relaxation mechanism.

[0087] For terminal devices that need to perform RRM measurements of neighboring cells, a relaxation mechanism for RRM measurements of neighboring cells is adopted to further meet the power saving needs of the terminal devices.

[0088] Relaxed RRM measurement criteria have been introduced for terminal devices, including the "terminal device is not at the cell edge" criterion and the "low mobility" criterion. Both criteria are based on the terminal device's "cell-level" measurement results in the serving cell. The following describes these two criteria separately.

[0089] 1. “Terminal equipment is not located at the cell edge” criterion;

[0090] For this criterion, the network device will configure an RSRP threshold. When the RSRP of the terminal device in the serving cell is greater than the RSRP threshold, the terminal device is considered to meet the "terminal device is not located at the cell edge" criterion.

[0091] The network device can also be configured with an RSRP threshold and an RSRQ threshold. When the RSRP of the terminal device on the serving cell is greater than the RSRP threshold and the RSRQ of the terminal device on the serving cell is greater than the RSRQ threshold, the terminal device is considered to meet the "terminal device is not located at the cell edge" criterion.

[0092] The RSRP threshold configured on the network device must be smaller than SIntraSearchP and SnonIntraSearchP. If the network device is also configured with an RSRQ threshold, the RSRQ threshold must be smaller than SIntraSearchQ and SnonIntraSearchQ.

[0093] 2. “Low mobility” criterion;

[0094] For this criterion, the network device will configure the RSRP change evaluation duration TSearchDeltaP and the RSRP change value threshold SSearchDeltaP. When the RSRP change of the terminal device on the serving cell is less than SSearchDeltaP within a period of time (TSearchDeltaP), the terminal device is considered to meet the "low mobility" criterion.

[0095] 5 is a schematic diagram of a low mobility criterion provided by related art. The criterion is applied in a communication system 500 , which includes a terminal device 510 and a network device 520 .

[0096] The terminal device 510 in this application is also called UE, access terminal, user unit, user station, mobile station, mobile station, remote station, remote terminal, mobile device, user terminal, terminal, wireless communication device, user agent, and user equipment. The terminals include, but are not limited to, handheld devices, wearable devices, vehicle-mounted devices, and Internet of Things devices, such as mobile phones, tablet computers, e-book readers, laptop computers, desktop computers, televisions, game consoles, mobile Internet devices (MIDs), augmented reality (AR) terminals, virtual reality (VR) terminals, and mixed reality (MR) terminals, wearable devices, handles, electronic tags, controllers, wireless terminals in industrial control, wireless terminals in self-driving, wireless terminals in remote medical care, wireless terminals in smart grids, wireless terminals in transportation safety, wireless terminals in smart cities, wireless terminals in smart homes, wireless terminals in remote medical surgery, cellular phones, cordless phones, session initiation protocol (SIP) phones, wireless local loops (WLANs), and wireless terminals in industrial control.

[0097] The network device 520 in the present application provides wireless communication functions, and the network device 520 includes but is not limited to: an evolved node B (eNB), a radio network controller (RNC), a node B (NB), a base station controller (BSC), a base transceiver station (BTS), a home base station (e.g., a home evolved node B, or a home node B, HNB), a baseband unit (BBU), an access point (AP) in a Wi-Fi system, a wireless relay node, a wireless backhaul node, a transmission point (TP) or a transmission and reception point (TRP), etc. It can also be a next generation node B (gNB) or a transmission point (TRP or TP) in a 5G mobile communication system, or one or a group of antenna panels (including multiple antenna panels) of a base station in a 5G system, or a network node constituting a gNB or a transmission point, such as a baseband unit (BBU) or a distributed unit (DPU). The invention relates to a base station (DU) in a B5G mobile communication system or a 6G mobile communication system, or a core network (CN), fronthaul, backhaul, radio access network (RAN), network slicing, or a service cell, primary cell (PCell), primary secondary cell (PSCell), special cell (SpCell), secondary cell (SCell), and neighboring cell of a terminal device.

[0098] The terminal device 510 and the network device 520 communicate with each other via some air interface technology, such as a Uu interface.

[0099] Exemplarily, there are two communication scenarios between the terminal device 510 and the network device 520: uplink communication scenario and downlink communication scenario. Uplink communication refers to the terminal device 510 sending a signal to the network device 520; downlink communication refers to the network device 520 sending a signal to the terminal device 510.

[0100] The technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application can be applied to various communication systems, such as: GSM system, CDMA system, WCDMA system, GPRS, LTE system, LTE-A system, LTE frequency division duplex (FDD) system, LTE time division duplex (TDD) system, UMTS, Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) communication system, 5G mobile communication system, NR system, NR system evolution system, LTE-U system, NR-U system, NTN system, non-NTN system, WLAN, Wi-Fi, cellular Internet of Things system, cellular passive Internet of Things system, and can also be applied to subsequent evolution systems of 5G NR system, and can also be applied to B5G, 6G and subsequent evolution systems.

[0101] In some embodiments of the present application, "NR" may also be referred to as a 5G NR system or a 5G system. A 5G mobile communication system may include a non-standalone (NSA) and / or standalone (SA) network.

Among them, the IoT network can include, for example, the Internet of Vehicles. Among them, the communication mode in the Internet of Vehicles system is collectively referred to as vehicle to other devices (Vehicle to X, V2X, X can represent anything), for example, the V2X can include: vehicle to vehicle (V2V) communication, vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) communication, vehicle to pedestrian communication (V2P) or vehicle to network (V2N) communication, etc.

[0103] As shown in FIG5 , within TSearchDeltaP, the RSRP variation of the terminal device 510 on the serving cell is greater than SSearchDeltaP, and it is considered that the terminal device 510 does not meet the “low mobility” criterion.

[0104] In the relevant standards, the second SSearchDeltaP and the second TSearchDeltaP are introduced to support further relaxation of the measurement of low-mobility terminal devices (such as stationary terminal devices or quasi-stationary terminal devices). After completing cell selection / reselection, the terminal device needs to perform normal RRM measurements for at least a period of time (TSearchDeltaP).

[0105] For RRM measurements of frequencies with equal or lower priority, RRM measurement relaxation methods are defined for different RRM measurement relaxation criteria, including:

[0106] (1) When the terminal device meets the "low mobility" criterion, the terminal device uses a longer measurement interval when performing RRM measurements on neighboring cells, using a fixed scaling factor to increase the measurement interval.

[0107] (2) When the terminal device meets the "terminal device is not located at the cell edge" criterion, the terminal device uses a longer measurement interval when performing RRM measurements on neighboring cells, and uses a fixed scaling factor to increase the measurement interval.

[0108] (3) When the terminal device meets both the "low mobility" criterion and the "terminal device is not located at the cell edge" criterion, the measurement interval of the terminal device for the same-frequency point, different-frequency point, and different-system point is increased to 1 hour.

[0109] For a terminal device having a wake-up receiver and a main receiver, in order to detect PDCCH, the main receiver needs to be turned on, and the power consumption of the main receiver can be saved by introducing a wake-up signal. In addition to detecting PDCCH, the main receiver also needs to be turned on periodically to perform RRM measurements. However, the power saving of the wake-up signal is to turn on the wake-up receiver to receive the wake-up signal, and then trigger the turning on of the main receiver to save the power consumption of the main receiver. If the main receiver is turned on periodically to perform RRM measurements, power consumption cannot be effectively saved. For this reason, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for performing RRM measurements using a wake-up receiver instead of a main receiver.

[0110] RRM measurements are performed by waking up the receiver, and the waking up receiver may perform RRM measurements through signals such as SSB or CSI-RS. This requires the waking up receiver to have the ability to detect OFDM signals, and places high demands on the complexity of the waking up receiver. A low power wake-up receiver (LP-WUR) with low power consumption and low complexity has more advantages in energy saving, and the waveform of the signal it receives has low demodulation complexity, such as OOK and frequency shift keying (FSK) signal waveforms. Signals related to LP-WUR are called low power wake-up signals (LP-WUS) waveform signals, such as low power synchronization signals (LP-SS) used for synchronization. Taking LP-SS as an example, when LP-WUR performs RRM measurements by detecting the quality of LP-SS, it is necessary to receive the relevant measurement configuration of LP-SS, so that the terminal device can detect LP-SS through its LP-WUR and obtain RRM measurement results.

[0111] FIG6 shows a flowchart of a method for transmitting a measurement configuration provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The method is performed by a terminal device, wherein the terminal device includes a first receiver and a second receiver, wherein the operating energy consumption of the first receiver is lower than the operating energy consumption of the second receiver. The method includes:

[0112] Step 610: Receive measurement configuration.

[0113] The measurement configuration includes a configuration for the first receiver to perform RRM measurement.

[0114] In some embodiments, the first receiver is a LP-WUR or a WUR, and the second receiver is a main receiver.

[0115] In the related art, when a terminal device is in an RRC connected state, RRM measurements are performed through a primary receiver. The signal used for RRM measurement is configured by the network device through RRC signaling. For example, the RRM measurement that the terminal device needs to perform is configured through measurement parameters (MeasConfig), including at least one of intra-frequency measurement, inter-frequency measurement, and inter-system measurement. The measurement parameters include a measurement object (MeasObject) configuration, which is used to configure at least one of the frequency domain position information, time domain position information, beam information, cell list information, and measurement threshold information of the relevant signals for the terminal device to perform RRM measurements.

[0116] RRM measurement configuration for RRC connected state:

[0117] In some embodiments, receiving a measurement configuration includes: receiving a first measurement configuration;

[0118] Among them, the first measurement configuration is the RRM measurement configuration when the terminal device is in the RRC connected state.

[0119] By receiving the first measurement configuration, the measurement tasks performed by the terminal device in the RRC connected state can be specified, such as dynamic switching based on network quality, mobility management and wireless resource optimization, etc., which can be distinguished from the measurement tasks performed by the terminal device in the RRC idle state or RRC non-excited state, thereby improving the flexibility of the measurement.

[0120] In some embodiments, the first measurement configuration includes at least one of the following:

[0121] frequency domain position of the first RRM measurement signal; frequency domain bandwidth of the first RRM measurement signal; sequence information of the first RRM measurement signal; time domain position of the first RRM measurement signal; symbol length of the first RRM measurement signal; bit rate of the first RRM measurement signal; measurement threshold of the first RRM measurement signal; measurement offset of the first RRM measurement signal; list of cells corresponding to the first RRM measurement signal;

[0122] The first RRM measurement signal is an RRM measurement signal detected by the first receiver in an RRC connected state.

[0123] Through the above-mentioned first measurement configuration, relevant information of the first RRM measurement signal can be accurately obtained, thereby improving the accuracy of configuring the first RRM measurement signal.

[0124] In some embodiments, the first RRM measurement signal comprises LP-SS.

[0125] In some embodiments, the first RRM measurement signal includes at least one of an OOK signal, a MC-OOK signal, or a FSK signal.

[0126] In some embodiments, a first receiver of a terminal device in an RRC connected state needs to measure a first RRM measurement signal of a neighboring cell, for example, an LP-WUR of the terminal device needs to measure an LP-SS of a neighboring cell.

[0127] In some embodiments, the frequency domain position of the first RRM measurement signal includes an Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (ARFCN) corresponding to the frequency domain position of the first RRM measurement signal.

[0128] ARFCN is a number used to identify a wireless channel in a network, and is mainly used to indicate the channel frequency used by a terminal device in the network. Exemplarily, ARFCN is the center frequency of the frequency domain bandwidth occupied by the first RRM measurement signal.

[0129] By using the international standard ARFCN to represent the frequency domain position of the first RRM measurement signal, the frequency domain position of the first RRM measurement signal can be uniformly identified in different systems, and is easy to configure and manage.

[0130] In some embodiments, the frequency domain bandwidth of the first RRM measurement signal is in megahertz (MHz) or kilohertz (KHz), or in resource blocks (RB).

[0131] Expressing frequency domain bandwidth in megahertz or kilohertz units is more intuitive and easier to understand. Expressing frequency domain bandwidth in RB units simplifies the description and calculation of frequency domain bandwidth. Different units can be used depending on the specific scenario, so you can choose the most appropriate unit to express frequency domain bandwidth.

[0132] In some embodiments, the sequence information of the first RRM measurement signal includes: a time domain sequence of the first RRM measurement signal.

[0133] In some embodiments, the first RRM measurement signal includes: at least one of an OOK signal or a MC-OOK signal, and the time domain sequence is a sequence used in an OOK modulation process.

[0134] For example, if the first RRM measurement signal is LP-SS and the first receiver is LP-WUR, the LP-SS OOK waveform generates an on signal through multi-carrier modulation. The multi-carrier can carry a sequence, and the corresponding time domain waveform is demodulated by the LP-WUR into an on signal. This sequence includes at least one of a frequency domain sequence and a time domain sequence. For some high-capability LP-WURs, multi-carrier modulated signals, such as OFDM signals, can be detected.

[0135] By selecting appropriate sequence information, demodulation and detection are facilitated on the receiving side (terminal device side).By carrying a frequency domain sequence and / or time domain sequence on multiple carriers, the receiver can detect the frequency domain sequence and / or time domain sequence, thereby improving detection performance.

[0136] In some embodiments, the time domain sequence of the first RRM measurement signal is related to a cell ID.

[0137] Exemplarily, the time domain sequence is related to a physical cell identity (PCI) of a cell in the cell list.

[0138] The time domain sequence of the first RRM measurement signal is related to the cell ID, so that each cell has a unique time domain sequence, thereby accurately identifying and distinguishing different cells.

[0139] In some embodiments, the sequence information of the first RRM measurement signal is used to indicate relevant parameters for generating the first RRM measurement signal. For example, assuming the first RRM measurement signal is an LP-SS signal, the relevant parameters include at least one of the following: an LP-SS period, an LP-SS duty cycle, an LP-SS amplitude, and an LP-SS frequency.

[0140] In some embodiments, the time domain location of the first RRM measurement signal includes at least one of the following: a period of a measurement time window; an offset of the measurement time window; or a duration of the measurement time window. By configuring the above, RRM measurements can be ensured to be performed at a specified time and the duration of the RRM measurement can be flexibly adjusted.

[0141] In some embodiments, the symbol length of the first RRM measurement signal is an integer multiple of the OFDM symbol length.

[0142] The symbol length or bit rate of the first RRM measurement signal is configured by the network device and is more flexible than an OFDM symbol, whose length is determined by the subcarrier spacing. The symbol length of the first RRM measurement signal can be N times the OFDM symbol length, where N is a positive integer.

[0143] In some embodiments, the measurement threshold of the first RRM measurement signal includes at least one of the following:

[0144] The RSRP threshold value of the first RRM measurement signal; the RSRQ threshold value of the first RRM measurement signal; the SINR threshold value of the first RRM measurement signal; the RSSI threshold value of the first RRM measurement signal; and the energy detection threshold of the first RRM measurement signal.

[0145] By configuring the above threshold values, parameters such as the strength, quality, and stability of the first RRM measurement signal can be guaranteed, thereby adapting to different scenarios and requirements.

[0146] In some embodiments, the measurement offset of the first RRM measurement signal includes at least one of the following:

[0147] Measurement offset information of the first RRM measurement signal; and cell-specific measurement offset information corresponding to the first RRM measurement signal.

[0148] The information element offsetMO of the measurement offset in the related art includes the following measurement offset parameters: rsrpOffsetSSB; rsrqOffsetSSB; sinrOffsetSSB.

[0149] Taking the first RRM measurement signal being LP-SS as an example, the measurement offset of LP-SS includes at least one of the following measurement offset parameters: rsrpOffsetLPSS; rsrqOffsetLPSS; sinrOffsetLPSS.

[0150] By configuring the measurement offset information of the first RRM measurement signal, the measurement process can be adjusted in the time domain to avoid conflicts with other services, thereby obtaining more accurate measurement data; by configuring the cell-specific measurement offset information corresponding to the first RRM measurement signal, the measurement offset can be configured separately for each cell to meet the differences and requirements between different cells.

[0151] In some embodiments, the cell list corresponding to the first RRM measurement signal is used to indicate cells that support performing RRM measurement based on the first RRM measurement signal.

[0152] In some embodiments, the information corresponding to the cell list includes PCI.

[0153] Different cells support the first RRM measurement signal differently, with some cells supporting the first RRM measurement signal and some cells not supporting the first RRM measurement signal. The cell list corresponding to the first RRM measurement signal facilitates the terminal device to use the corresponding receiver to perform RRM measurement based on the support of the first RRM measurement signal by different cells.

[0154] The RRM measurement signal includes SSB, CSI-RS, and the first RRM measurement signal. For example, the first RRM measurement signal is LP-SS. For some cells, only RRM measurement based on SSB or CSI-RS is supported; or, only RRM measurement based on LP-SS is supported; or, both RRM measurement based on SSB or CSI-RS and RRM measurement based on LP-SS are supported. The cell list corresponding to the first RRM measurement signal is used to indicate cells that only support RRM measurement based on LP-SS, and cells that support RRM measurement based on SSB or CSI-RS and RRM measurement based on LP-SS.

[0155] In some embodiments, the RRM measurement configuration of the terminal device in RRC connected mode is as follows:

[0156] –MeasConfig

[0157] The IE MeasConfig specifies measurements to be performed by the UE,and covers intra-frequency,inter-frequency and inter-RAT mobility as well as configuration of measurement gaps.

[0225] The rxx in the above RRM measurement configuration is used to represent the version number, such as r18, r19, r20, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0226] For RRM measurement configuration in RRC idle or RRC inactive state:

[0227] In some embodiments, receiving a measurement configuration includes: receiving a second measurement configuration;

[0228] The second measurement configuration is an RRM measurement configuration when the terminal device is in an RRC idle state or an RRC inactive state.

[0229] The first receiver of the terminal device in the RRC idle state (RRC_IDLE) or the RRC inactive state (RRC_INACTIVE) needs to measure the second RRM measurement signal of the neighboring cell, perform cell reselection based on the measurement result, and select the cell with good measurement results to reside in.

[0230] By receiving the second measurement configuration, the measurement tasks performed by the terminal device in the RRC idle state or the RRC non-excited state can be specified, such as receiving neighboring cell information, measuring cell quality, etc., which can be distinguished from the measurement tasks performed by the terminal device in the RRC connected state, thereby improving the flexibility of the measurement.

[0231] In some embodiments, the second measurement configuration includes at least one of: a carrier list; a measurement duration; and a valid area list.

[0232] The carrier list is used to indicate the carrier for measurement; the measurement duration is used to indicate the duration of the measurement, for example, sec10 indicates that the measurement duration is 10 seconds, and sec30 indicates that the measurement duration is 30 seconds; the valid area list is used to indicate the carrier frequency and the valid cell list.

[0233] By configuring the above content, you can determine the carriers that need to be measured, the duration of each measurement, and the area where the measurement can be performed.

[0234] In some embodiments, the carrier list includes at least one of the following: carrier frequency; subcarrier spacing corresponding to the carrier; frequency band list; measurement results; quality threshold; configuration of measurement signal; measurement cell list; and number of measurement signals.

[0235] In some embodiments, the ARFCN corresponding to a carrier is used to indicate the carrier frequency.

[0236] In some embodiments, the frequency band list is used to indicate a frequency domain to which the second measurement configuration is applicable.

[0237] In some embodiments, the measurement result includes at least one of RSRP and RSRQ.

[0238] In some embodiments, the quality threshold (qualityThreshold) is used to indicate the quality threshold of the measured cell, including at least one of the following:

[0239] an RSRP threshold of the second RRM measurement signal; an RSRQ threshold of the second RRM measurement signal;

[0240] The second RRM measurement signal is an RRM measurement signal detected by the first receiver in an RRC idle state or an RRC inactive state.

[0241] By configuring the above content, you can determine the specific information of the carrier related to the measurement, and improve the accuracy of the configuration.

[0242] In some embodiments, the configuration of the measurement signal includes at least one of the following:

[0243] The time domain position of the second RRM measurement signal; the frequency domain position of the second RRM measurement signal; the frequency domain bandwidth of the second RRM measurement signal; the beam configuration of the second RRM measurement signal; the symbol length of the second RRM measurement signal; and the measurement beam measurement configuration of the second RRM measurement signal. The second RRM measurement signal is a measurement signal detected by the first receiver, and the measurement beam measurement configuration of the second RRM measurement signal includes a beam-level measurement configuration.

[0244] By configuring the measurement signal above, relevant information of the second RRM measurement signal can be accurately obtained, thereby improving the accuracy of configuring the second RRM measurement signal.

[0245] In some embodiments, the measurement cell list is used to indicate a list of cells for performing measurement and reporting.

[0246] The measurement cell list indicates a list of cells to be measured and reported in the RRC idle state or the RRC inactive state, including the range of PCIs.

[0247] In some embodiments, the measurement cell list is used to indicate cells that support performing RRM measurements based on the second RRM measurement signal;

[0248] The second RRM measurement signal is a measurement signal detected by the first receiver.

[0249] Different cells support the second RRM measurement signal differently, with some cells supporting the second RRM measurement signal and others not. The cell list corresponding to the second RRM measurement signal facilitates the terminal device to use the corresponding receiver for RRM measurement based on the support of the second RRM measurement signal by different cells.

[0250] The RRM measurement signal includes SSB, CSI-RS, and a second RRM measurement signal. For example, the second RRM measurement signal is LP-SS. For some cells, only RRM measurement based on SSB or CSI-RS is supported; or, only RRM measurement based on LP-SS is supported; or, both RRM measurement based on SSB or CSI-RS and RRM measurement based on LP-SS are supported. The cell list corresponding to the second RRM measurement signal is used to indicate cells that only support RRM measurement based on LP-SS, and cells that support RRM measurement based on SSB or CSI-RS and RRM measurement based on LP-SS.

[0251] In some embodiments, the number of measurement signals is an average number of measurement signals received during a specified time period.

[0252] The measurement signals received over a certain number of time units are averaged to obtain the number of measurement signals. The average value of the measurement results corresponding to these measurement signals is used to represent the measurement result of the cell.

[0253] By averaging the measurement signal, the influence of random errors can be reduced, providing a more stable and reliable measurement signal quantity.

[0254] In some embodiments, the valid area list includes at least one of the following: a carrier frequency; and a valid cell list.

[0255] In some embodiments, the carrier frequency includes: an ARFCN corresponding to the carrier, where the ARFCN corresponding to the carrier is used to indicate the carrier frequency.

[0256] In some embodiments, the valid cell list includes: a value range of PCI.

[0257] For each carrier frequency, the terminal device performs RRM measurements on the cells in the valid cell list.

[0258] By using the international standard ARFCN to represent carrier frequencies, unified identification is possible, making configuration and management easier. By configuring a valid cell list, RRM measurements can be performed on each carrier frequency for each cell.

[0259] In some embodiments, the method further comprises: performing RRM measurements by the first receiver based on the measurement configuration.

[0260] According to the measurement configuration of the above-mentioned terminal device in the RRC connected state, RRC idle state or RRC inactive state, the terminal device obtains the configuration of the signal related to the RRM measurement, thereby performing RRM measurement through the first receiver and reducing the power consumption of the terminal.

[0261] In some embodiments, the RRM measurement configuration of the terminal device in RRC IDLE mode or RRC INACTIVE mode is as follows:

[0360] The specific implementation details of the transmission method of the above measurement configuration refer to the terminal device side embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0361] In summary, the method provided in this embodiment transmits a measurement configuration, which includes a configuration for a first receiver to perform RRM measurements. The terminal device includes a first receiver and a second receiver, and the operating energy consumption of the first receiver is lower than the operating energy consumption of the second receiver. The terminal device obtains the measurement configuration and is able to perform RRM measurements using the first receiver, such as the LP-WUR, which is more power-efficient than using a second receiver, such as the primary receiver, to perform RRM measurements.

[0362] In the above embodiments, the embodiment corresponding to FIG. 6 and the embodiment corresponding to FIG. 7 can be implemented separately or in combination, and this application does not limit this.

[0363] In the above embodiment, the first RRM measurement signal or the second RRM measurement signal, such as a low power synchronization signal (LP-SS), includes at least one of an OOK symbol and an MC-OOK symbol. FIG8 shows a schematic diagram of generating an MC-OOK symbol provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0364] In some embodiments, a transmitting device (network device) obtains a sequence corresponding to an LP-SS signal of length L to be transmitted and determines the number M of OOK symbols to be transmitted within a preset duration, where M is a positive integer. The sequence corresponding to the LP-SS signal is represented by a first bit sequence, and the preset duration is determined by a basic time domain unit in a cellular communication system or a WiFi system.

[0365] In some embodiments, the preset duration is t OFDM symbols, and t OFDM symbols can transmit M OOK symbols. M is the number of OOK symbols transmitted in t OFDM symbols, and t is a positive integer. In the embodiments of the present application, an example of transmitting M OOK symbols in one OFDM symbol is used.

[0366] In some embodiments, M may be agreed upon by a protocol, configured by a network device, or determined by a terminal device based on a preset mapping relationship, thereby achieving variable rate transmission of OOK symbols.

[0367] A first bit sequence of length L is divided into at least one sequence segment of length M. When L is an integer multiple of M, the length of each sequence segment obtained based on the division of the first bit sequence of length L is M. For example, the first bit sequence of length L is {1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, ····}, and M=4. Then, the first bit sequence of length L is divided into a plurality of sequence segments, each of which has a length of 4. For example, sequence segment 1 is {1, 0, 0, 1}.

[0368] Next, OOK modulation is performed on each sequence segment of length M to obtain M OOK symbols.

[0369] OOK modulation includes at least one of: upsampling / spread spectrum / sequence mapping, time-frequency transformation, determination of subcarrier coefficients, and inverse time-frequency transformation.

[0370] Upsampling / spreading / sequence mapping is the process of converting each bit (also called a logical bit) or element in a sequence into a sequence of length K, where K is a positive integer greater than 1. Taking spreading as an example, spreading refers to repeating each bit or element in a sequence K times. For example, if the sequence is {1, 0, 0, 1} and the spreading factor K = 4, the second sequence is {1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1}.

[0371] Time-frequency transform, also known as discrete Fourier transform (DFT), refers to the process of transforming a sequence in the time domain into frequency domain data of several sampling points.

[0372] Determining subcarrier coefficients refers to the process of determining the coefficients of multiple subcarriers during transmission based on the frequency domain data of several sampling points. This is also the process of modulating the frequency domain data after time-frequency transformation onto multiple subcarriers.

[0373] Inverse time-frequency transform, also known as inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT), refers to the process of converting frequency domain data of several sampling points into time domain data of several sampling points.

[0374] In some embodiments, the length L of the first bit sequence is not always an integer multiple of M. Figure 9 shows a schematic diagram of generating MC-OOK symbols provided by an embodiment of the present application. When the first bit sequence is {1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0}, that is, when L = 18, when M = 4, L is not an integer multiple of M. At this time, if the first bit sequence is divided, the last sequence segment will be {1, 0}. At this time, if OOK modulation is performed on the last sequence segment, 4 OOK symbols cannot be obtained.

[0375] In response to the above problems, a method for preprocessing a bit sequence is proposed in an embodiment of the present application. When L is not an integer multiple of M, a second bit sequence of length L' is obtained by preprocessing the first bit sequence of length L, so that all or each sequence segment obtained by dividing the second bit sequence can be OOK modulated to obtain M OOK symbols. As shown in Figure 9, the first bit sequence is preprocessed to obtain a second bit sequence of length L' of {1,0,0,1,1,1,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,1}, that is, L'=20. When M=4, L' is an integer multiple of M, and the last sequence segment obtained is {1,0,1,1}. At this time, OOK modulation is performed on the last sequence segment to obtain 4 OOK symbols.

[0376] In some embodiments, the time domain sequence of the first RRM measurement signal (or the time domain sequence of the second RRM measurement signal) is a sequence obtained by performing spread spectrum processing on at least one of the above-mentioned bit sequences (first bit sequence / second bit sequence), or a phase randomized sequence, or a sequence obtained by mapping one bit to a sequence.

[0377] In summary, the first RRM measurement signal or the second RRM measurement signal is modulated by the following steps:

[0378] Step (1): obtaining a first bit sequence of a first number L in length;

[0379] L is the number of bits in the first bit sequence. For example, if the first bit sequence is {1,0,1,1,1,1,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0}, then L is 18.

[0380] In some embodiments, the first bit sequence is any one of the following:

[0381] The original bit sequence that does not need to be encoded;

[0382] The original bit sequence before encoding;

[0383] The coded bit sequence after encoding the original bit sequence;

[0384] A coded bit sequence obtained by performing at least one level of multi-level coding on the original bit sequence.

[0385] Optionally, the first bit sequence is an original bit sequence that does not require encoding.

[0386] Optionally, the first bit sequence is the original bit sequence before encoding.

[0387] In some embodiments, the original bit sequence may include a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bit sequence.

[0388] Optionally, the first bit sequence is a coded bit sequence obtained after encoding the original bit sequence.

[0389] Optionally, the first bit sequence is a coded bit sequence obtained by performing at least one level of multi-level coding on the original bit sequence.

[0390] In some embodiments, the coded bit sequence may include a CRC bit sequence.

[0391] Step (2): When the first number L is not an integer multiple of the second number M, the first bit sequence is processed into a second bit sequence having a length of a third number L'.

[0392] Optionally, the first quantity L is smaller than the third quantity L'. Optionally, the first quantity L is larger than the third quantity L'.

[0393] The second number M is the number of OOK symbols transmitted in a preset duration, where M is a positive integer. The preset duration is determined by a basic time domain unit in a cellular communication system or a WiFi system.

[0394] In some embodiments, the preset duration is t OFDM symbols, and t OFDM symbols can transmit M OOK symbols. M is the number of OOK symbols transmitted in t OFDM symbols, and t is a positive integer. In the embodiments of the present application, an example of transmitting M OOK symbols in one OFDM symbol is used.

[0395] In some embodiments, M may be agreed upon by a protocol, configured by a network device, or determined by a terminal device based on a preset mapping relationship.

[0396] In some embodiments, M has multiple candidate values, for example, M={1, 2, 4, 6, 8}.

[0397] The third number L' is the number of bits in the second bit sequence. For example, if the second bit sequence is {1, 0, 1, 0}, then L' is 4.

[0398] In some embodiments, the second bit sequence is divided into at least one sequence segment of length M for OOK modulation, obtaining M OOK symbols corresponding to each sequence segment. That is, the third number L' is an integer multiple of the second number M. For example, if the second bit sequence is {1, 0, 1, 0} and M = 2, the second bit sequence can be divided into two sequence segments of length 2, each of which is {1, 0} and {1, 0}.

[0399] It should be understood that when the first number L is not an integer multiple of the second number M, when the first bit sequence of length L is segmented, the first bit sequence of length L cannot be divided into multiple sequence segments of length second number M. That is, the length of the last sequence segment will be less than the second number M. In this case, OOK modulation cannot be performed on the last sequence segment. For example, assuming that the first bit sequence is {1,0,0,1,1,1,1,0,1,0,1}, then L=11; when M=4, the first bit sequence is segmented, and sequence segment 1 is {1,0,0,1}, sequence segment 2 is {1,1,1,0}, and sequence segment 3 is {1,0,1}.

[0400] In an embodiment of the present application, a method for processing a first bit sequence is provided when the first number L is not an integer multiple of the second number M, so that the processed bit sequence can ensure that the requirements of OOK modulation are met.

[0401] In some embodiments, the above method for processing the first bit sequence may have multiple optional designs:

[0402] Optional Design 1: Perform bit padding on the first bit sequence;

[0403] The first bit sequence is padded to form a second bit sequence whose length is an integer multiple of the second number M. Optionally, at least one padding bit is added to the head of the first bit sequence to obtain a second bit sequence whose length is an integer multiple of the second number M. Optionally, at least one padding bit is added to the tail of the first bit sequence to obtain a second bit sequence whose length is an integer multiple of the second number M. In the embodiment of the present application, adding at least one padding bit to the tail of the first bit sequence is used as an example for illustration.

[0404] Optional design 2: performing bit selection on the first bit sequence;

[0405] A second bit sequence is selected based on the first bit sequence, the length of which is an integer multiple of the second number M. Optionally, a portion of the bit sequences in the first bit sequence is cyclically selected to obtain a second bit sequence whose length is an integer multiple of the second number M. Optionally, a portion of the bit sequences in the first bit sequence is truncated to obtain a second bit sequence whose length is an integer multiple of the second number M.

[0406] Step (3): Divide the second bit sequence to obtain at least one sequence segment having a length of a second number M;

[0407] In some embodiments, since the length corresponding to the second bit sequence is a third number L', when the third number L' is an integer multiple of the second number M, the length of each sequence segment obtained by dividing the second bit sequence having the third number L' is the second number M. For example, assuming that the second bit sequence having the third number L' is {1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, ····}, and M=4, the second bit sequence having the third number L' is divided into a plurality of sequence segments, each of which has a length of 4, for example, sequence segment 1 is {1, 0, 0, 1}.

[0408] Step (4): Perform OOK modulation on each sequence segment to obtain M OOK symbols corresponding to each sequence segment.

[0409] OOK modulation is the process of modulating a digital sequence into a wireless signal with an MC-OOK waveform. OOK modulation is performed on each sequence segment of length M, resulting in M ​​OOK symbols corresponding to each sequence segment. The first RRM measurement signal or the second RRM measurement signal includes M OOK symbols.

[0410] To summarize, the method provided in this embodiment processes the first bit sequence into a second bit sequence of a third number L' in length when the first number L corresponding to the first bit sequence is not an integer multiple of the second number M, so that the processed second bit sequence can be divided into at least one sequence segment of a length of the second number M, thereby ensuring that the OOK symbols can be transmitted smoothly even when the number of valid OOK symbols to be transmitted is not an integer multiple of M.

[0411] Figure 10 shows a block diagram of a configuration information transmission device provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The device can be implemented as a terminal device or as a part of a terminal device through software or hardware or a combination of both. The device has a first receiver and a second receiver. The working energy consumption of the first receiver is lower than the working energy consumption of the second receiver. The device includes at least one of a receiving module 1010 and a processing module 1020.

[0412] The receiving module 1010 is configured to receive a measurement configuration, where the measurement configuration includes a configuration for the first receiver to perform RRM measurement.

[0413] In a possible design of this embodiment, the first receiver is LP-WUR or WUR, and the second receiver is a main receiver.

[0414] RRM measurement configuration for RRC connected state:

[0415] In a possible design of this embodiment, the receiving module 1010 is configured to receive a first measurement configuration;

[0416] The first measurement configuration is an RRM measurement configuration when the transmission device of the configuration information is in an RRC connected state.

[0417] In one possible design of this embodiment, the first measurement configuration includes at least one of the following:

[0418] The frequency domain position of the first RRM measurement signal; the frequency domain bandwidth of the first RRM measurement signal; the sequence information of the first RRM measurement signal; the time domain position of the first RRM measurement signal; the symbol length of the first RRM measurement signal; the bit rate of the first RRM measurement signal; the measurement threshold of the first RRM measurement signal; the measurement offset of the first RRM measurement signal; and the cell list corresponding to the first RRM measurement signal. The first RRM measurement signal is an RRM measurement signal detected by the first receiver in an RRC connected state.

[0419] In a possible design of this embodiment, the first RRM measurement signal includes LP-SS.

[0420] In a possible design of this embodiment, the first RRM measurement signal includes at least one of an OOK signal, an MC-OOK signal, and an FSK signal.

[0421] In a possible design of this embodiment, the first receiver of the configuration information transmission device in the RRC connected state needs to measure the first RRM measurement signal of the neighboring cell, for example, the LP-WUR needs to measure the LP-SS of the neighboring cell.

[0422] In a possible design of this embodiment, the frequency domain position of the first RRM measurement signal includes: an ARFCN corresponding to the frequency domain position of the first RRM measurement signal.

[0423] ARFCN is a number used to identify a wireless channel in a network, and is mainly used to indicate the channel frequency used by the transmission device of the configuration information in the network. Exemplarily, ARFCN is the center frequency of the frequency domain bandwidth occupied by the first RRM measurement signal.

[0424] In a possible design of this embodiment, the frequency domain bandwidth of the first RRM measurement signal is in megahertz (MHz) or kilohertz (KHz), or in RB.

[0425] In a possible design of this embodiment, the sequence information of the first RRM measurement signal includes: a time domain sequence of the first RRM measurement signal.

[0426] In a possible design of this embodiment, the first RRM measurement signal includes: at least one of an OOK signal or an MC-OOK signal, and the time domain sequence is a sequence used in an OOK modulation process.

[0427] For example, if the first RRM measurement signal is LP-SS and the first receiver is LP-WUR, the LP-SS OOK waveform generates an on signal through multi-carrier modulation. The multi-carrier can carry a sequence, and the corresponding time domain waveform is demodulated by the LP-WUR into an on signal. This sequence includes at least one of a frequency domain sequence and a time domain sequence. For some high-capability LP-WURs, multi-carrier modulated signals, such as OFDM signals, can be detected.

[0428] In a possible design of this embodiment, the time domain sequence of the first RRM measurement signal is related to the cell ID.

[0429] Exemplarily, the time domain sequence is related to a physical cell identity (PCI) of a cell in the cell list.

[0430] In one possible design of this embodiment, the sequence information of the first RRM measurement signal is used to indicate relevant parameters for generating the first RRM measurement signal. For example, assuming the first RRM measurement signal is an LP-SS signal, the relevant parameters include at least one of the following: an LP-SS period, an LP-SS duty cycle, an LP-SS amplitude, and an LP-SS frequency.

[0431] In one possible design of this embodiment, the time domain location of the first RRM measurement signal includes at least one of the following: a period of a measurement time window; an offset of the measurement time window; and a duration of the measurement time window. By configuring the above, RRM measurements can be ensured to be performed at a specified time, and the duration of the RRM measurements can be flexibly adjusted.

[0432] In a possible design of this embodiment, the symbol length of the first RRM measurement signal is an integer multiple of the OFDM symbol length.

[0433] The symbol length or bit rate of the first RRM measurement signal is configured by the network device and is more flexible than an OFDM symbol, whose length is determined by the subcarrier spacing. The symbol length of the first RRM measurement signal can be N times the OFDM symbol length, where N is a positive integer.

[0434] In a possible design of this embodiment, the measurement threshold of the first RRM measurement signal includes at least one of the following:

[0435] The RSRP threshold value of the first RRM measurement signal; the RSRQ threshold value of the first RRM measurement signal; the SINR threshold value of the first RRM measurement signal; the RSSI threshold value of the first RRM measurement signal; and the energy detection threshold of the first RRM measurement signal.

[0436] In a possible design of this embodiment, the measurement offset of the first RRM measurement signal includes at least one of the following:

[0437] Measurement offset information of the first RRM measurement signal; and cell-specific measurement offset information corresponding to the first RRM measurement signal.

[0438] The information element offsetMO of the measurement offset in the related art includes the following measurement offset parameters: rsrpOffsetSSB; rsrqOffsetSSB; sinrOffsetSSB.

[0439] Taking the first RRM measurement signal being LP-SS as an example, the measurement offset of LP-SS includes at least one of the following measurement offset parameters: rsrpOffsetLPSS; rsrqOffsetLPSS; sinrOffsetLPSS.

[0440] By configuring the measurement offset information of the first RRM measurement signal, the measurement process can be adjusted in the time domain to avoid conflicts with other services, thereby obtaining more accurate measurement data; by configuring the cell-specific measurement offset information corresponding to the first RRM measurement signal, the measurement offset can be configured separately for each cell to meet the differences and requirements between different cells.

[0441] In a possible design of this embodiment, the cell list corresponding to the first RRM measurement signal is used to indicate cells that support performing RRM measurement based on the first RRM measurement signal.

[0442] In a possible design of this embodiment, the information corresponding to the cell list includes PCI.

[0443] Different cells support the first RRM measurement signal differently, with some cells supporting the first RRM measurement signal and some cells not supporting the first RRM measurement signal. The cell list corresponding to the first RRM measurement signal facilitates the configuration information transmission device to use corresponding receivers to perform RRM measurements based on the support of the first RRM measurement signal by different cells.

[0444] The RRM measurement signal includes SSB, CSI-RS, and the first RRM measurement signal. For example, the first RRM measurement signal is LP-SS. For some cells, only RRM measurement based on SSB or CSI-RS is supported; or, only RRM measurement based on LP-SS is supported; or, both RRM measurement based on SSB or CSI-RS and RRM measurement based on LP-SS are supported. The cell list corresponding to the first RRM measurement signal is used to indicate cells that only support RRM measurement based on LP-SS, and cells that support RRM measurement based on SSB or CSI-RS and RRM measurement based on LP-SS.

[0445] For RRM measurement configuration in RRC idle or RRC inactive state:

[0446] In a possible design of this embodiment, the receiving module 1010 is configured to receive a second measurement configuration;

[0447] The second measurement configuration is an RRM measurement configuration when the transmission device of the configuration information is in an RRC idle state or an RRC inactive state.

[0448] The first receiver of the configuration information transmission device in the RRC idle state (RRC_IDLE) or RRC inactive state (RRC_INACTIVE) needs to measure the second RRM measurement signal of the neighboring cell, perform cell reselection based on the measurement result, and select the cell with good measurement result to reside in.

[0449] In a possible design of this embodiment, the second measurement configuration includes at least one of the following: a carrier list; a measurement duration; and a valid area list.

[0450] The carrier list is used to indicate the carrier for measurement; the measurement duration is used to indicate the duration of the measurement, for example, sec10 indicates that the measurement duration is 10 seconds, and sec30 indicates that the measurement duration is 30 seconds; the valid area list is used to indicate the carrier frequency and the valid cell list.

[0451] In one possible design of this embodiment, the carrier list includes at least one of the following: carrier frequency; subcarrier spacing corresponding to the carrier; frequency band list; measurement results; quality threshold; configuration of measurement signal; measurement cell list; and number of measurement signals.

[0456] The second RRM measurement signal is an RRM measurement signal detected by the first receiver in an RRC idle state or an RRC inactive state.

[0457] In a possible design of this embodiment, configuration of the measurement signal includes at least one of the following:

[0458] The time domain position of the second RRM measurement signal; the frequency domain position of the second RRM measurement signal; the frequency domain bandwidth of the second RRM measurement signal; the beam configuration of the second RRM measurement signal; the symbol length of the second RRM measurement signal; and the measurement beam measurement configuration of the second RRM measurement signal. The second RRM measurement signal is a measurement signal detected by the first receiver, and the measurement beam measurement configuration of the second RRM measurement signal includes a beam-level measurement configuration.

[0459] In a possible design of this embodiment, the measurement cell list is used to indicate a list of cells for performing measurement and reporting.

[0460] The measurement cell list indicates a list of cells to be measured and reported in the RRC idle state or the RRC inactive state, including the range of PCIs.

[0461] In a possible design of this embodiment, the measurement cell list is used to indicate cells that support performing RRM measurement based on the second RRM measurement signal;

[0462] The second RRM measurement signal is a measurement signal detected by the first receiver.

[0463] Different cells support the second RRM measurement signal differently, with some cells supporting the second RRM measurement signal and some cells not supporting the second RRM measurement signal. The cell list corresponding to the second RRM measurement signal facilitates the configuration information transmission device to use the corresponding receiver to perform RRM measurement based on the support of the second RRM measurement signal by different cells.

[0464] The RRM measurement signal includes SSB, CSI-RS, and a second RRM measurement signal. For example, the second RRM measurement signal is LP-SS. For some cells, only RRM measurement based on SSB or CSI-RS is supported; or, only RRM measurement based on LP-SS is supported; or, both RRM measurement based on SSB or CSI-RS and RRM measurement based on LP-SS are supported. The cell list corresponding to the second RRM measurement signal is used to indicate cells that only support RRM measurement based on LP-SS, and cells that support RRM measurement based on SSB or CSI-RS and RRM measurement based on LP-SS.

[0465] In a possible design of this embodiment, the number of measurement signals is an average number of measurement signals received in a specified time period.

[0466] The measurement signals received over a certain number of time units are averaged to obtain the number of measurement signals. The average value of the measurement results corresponding to these measurement signals is used to represent the measurement result of the cell.

[0467] In a possible design of this embodiment, the valid area list includes at least one of the following: a carrier frequency; and a valid cell list.

[0476] Figure 11 shows a block diagram of a configuration information transmission device provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The device can be implemented as a network device or as a part of a network device through software or hardware or a combination of both. The device includes a sending module 1110.

[0477] The sending module 1110 is configured to send a measurement configuration.

[0478] The measurement configuration includes a configuration in which the first receiver performs RRM measurement. The receiving device of the measurement configuration includes a first receiver and a second receiver. The operating energy consumption of the first receiver is lower than the operating energy consumption of the second receiver.

[0479] RRM measurement configuration for RRC connected state:

[0480] In a possible design of this embodiment, the sending module 1110 is configured to send a first measurement configuration;

[0481] Among them, the first measurement configuration is the RRM measurement configuration when the terminal device is in the RRC connected state.

[0482] In one possible design of this embodiment, the first measurement configuration includes at least one of the following:

[0483] The frequency domain position of the first RRM measurement signal; the frequency domain bandwidth of the first RRM measurement signal; the sequence information of the first RRM measurement signal; the time domain position of the first RRM measurement signal; the symbol length of the first RRM measurement signal; the bit rate of the first RRM measurement signal; the measurement threshold of the first RRM measurement signal; the measurement offset of the first RRM measurement signal; and the cell list corresponding to the first RRM measurement signal. The first RRM measurement signal is an RRM measurement signal detected by the first receiver in an RRC connected state.

[0484] In a possible design of this embodiment, the first RRM measurement signal includes LP-SS.

[0485] In a possible design of this embodiment, the first RRM measurement signal includes at least one of an OOK signal, an MC-OOK signal, and an FSK signal.

[0486] In a possible design of this embodiment, the first receiver of the terminal device in the RRC connected state needs to measure the first RRM measurement signal of the neighboring cell, for example, the LP-WUR needs to measure the LP-SS of the neighboring cell.

[0487] In a possible design of this embodiment, the frequency domain position of the first RRM measurement signal includes: an ARFCN corresponding to the frequency domain position of the first RRM measurement signal.

[0488] ARFCN is a number used to identify a wireless channel in a network, and is mainly used to indicate the channel frequency used by a terminal device in the network. Exemplarily, ARFCN is the center frequency of the frequency domain bandwidth occupied by the first RRM measurement signal.

[0489] In a possible design of this embodiment, the frequency domain bandwidth of the first RRM measurement signal is in megahertz (MHz) or kilohertz (KHz), or in RB.

[0490] In a possible design of this embodiment, the sequence information of the first RRM measurement signal includes: a time domain sequence of the first RRM measurement signal.

[0491] In a possible design of this embodiment, the first RRM measurement signal includes: at least one of an OOK signal or an MC-OOK signal, and the time domain sequence is a sequence used in an OOK modulation process.

[0492] For example, if the first RRM measurement signal is LP-SS and the first receiver is LP-WUR, the LP-SS OOK waveform generates an on signal through multi-carrier modulation. The multi-carrier can carry a sequence, and the corresponding time domain waveform is demodulated by the LP-WUR into an on signal. This sequence includes at least one of a frequency domain sequence and a time domain sequence. For some high-capability LP-WURs, multi-carrier modulated signals, such as OFDM signals, can be detected.

[0493] In a possible design of this embodiment, the time domain sequence of the first RRM measurement signal is related to the cell ID.

[0494] Exemplarily, the time domain sequence is related to a physical cell identity (PCI) of a cell in the cell list.

[0495] The time domain sequence of the first RRM measurement signal is related to the cell ID, so that each cell has a unique time domain sequence, thereby accurately identifying and distinguishing different cells.

[0496] In one possible design of this embodiment, the sequence information of the first RRM measurement signal is used to indicate relevant parameters for generating the first RRM measurement signal. For example, assuming the first RRM measurement signal is an LP-SS signal, the relevant parameters include at least one of the following: an LP-SS period, an LP-SS duty cycle, an LP-SS amplitude, and an LP-SS frequency.

[0497] In one possible design of this embodiment, the time domain location of the first RRM measurement signal includes at least one of the following: a period of a measurement time window; an offset of the measurement time window; and a duration of the measurement time window. By configuring the above, RRM measurements can be ensured to be performed at a specified time, and the duration of the RRM measurements can be flexibly adjusted.

[0498] In a possible design of this embodiment, the symbol length of the first RRM measurement signal is an integer multiple of the OFDM symbol length.

[0499] The symbol length or bit rate of the first RRM measurement signal is configured by the device transmitting the configuration information, which is more flexible than an OFDM symbol whose length is determined by the subcarrier spacing. The symbol length of the first RRM measurement signal can be N times the OFDM symbol length, where N is a positive integer.

[0500] In a possible design of this embodiment, the measurement threshold of the first RRM measurement signal includes at least one of the following:

[0501] The RSRP threshold value of the first RRM measurement signal; the RSRQ threshold value of the first RRM measurement signal; the SINR threshold value of the first RRM measurement signal; the RSSI threshold value of the first RRM measurement signal; and the energy detection threshold of the first RRM measurement signal.

[0502] In a possible design of this embodiment, the measurement offset of the first RRM measurement signal includes at least one of the following:

[0503] Measurement offset information of the first RRM measurement signal; and cell-specific measurement offset information corresponding to the first RRM measurement signal.

[0504] The information element offsetMO of the measurement offset in the related art includes the following measurement offset parameters: rsrpOffsetSSB; rsrqOffsetSSB; sinrOffsetSSB.

[0505] Taking the first RRM measurement signal being LP-SS as an example, the measurement offset of LP-SS includes at least one of the following measurement offset parameters: rsrpOffsetLPSS; rsrqOffsetLPSS; sinrOffsetLPSS.

[0506] In a possible design of this embodiment, the cell list corresponding to the first RRM measurement signal is used to indicate cells that support performing RRM measurement based on the first RRM measurement signal.

[0507] In a possible design of this embodiment, the information corresponding to the cell list includes PCI.

[0508] Different cells support the first RRM measurement signal differently, with some cells supporting the first RRM measurement signal and some cells not supporting the first RRM measurement signal. The cell list corresponding to the first RRM measurement signal facilitates the terminal device to use the corresponding receiver to perform RRM measurement based on the support of the first RRM measurement signal by different cells.

[0509] The RRM measurement signal includes SSB, CSI-RS, and the first RRM measurement signal. For example, the first RRM measurement signal is LP-SS. For some cells, only RRM measurement based on SSB or CSI-RS is supported; or, only RRM measurement based on LP-SS is supported; or, both RRM measurement based on SSB or CSI-RS and RRM measurement based on LP-SS are supported. The cell list corresponding to the first RRM measurement signal is used to indicate cells that only support RRM measurement based on LP-SS, and cells that support RRM measurement based on SSB or CSI-RS and RRM measurement based on LP-SS.

[0512] The second measurement configuration is an RRM measurement configuration when the terminal device is in an RRC idle state or an RRC inactive state.

[0513] The first receiver of the terminal device in the RRC idle state (RRC_IDLE) or the RRC inactive state (RRC_INACTIVE) needs to measure the second RRM measurement signal of the neighboring cell, perform cell reselection based on the measurement result, and select the cell with good measurement results to reside in.

[0514] By receiving the second measurement configuration, the measurement tasks performed by the terminal device in the RRC idle state or the RRC non-excited state can be specified, such as receiving neighboring cell information, measuring cell quality, etc., which can be distinguished from the measurement tasks performed by the terminal device in the RRC connected state, thereby improving the flexibility of the measurement.

[0515] In a possible design of this embodiment, the second measurement configuration includes at least one of the following: a carrier list; a measurement duration; and a valid area list.

[0516] The carrier list is used to indicate the carrier for measurement; the measurement duration is used to indicate the duration of the measurement, for example, sec10 indicates that the measurement duration is 10 seconds, and sec30 indicates that the measurement duration is 30 seconds; the valid area list is used to indicate the carrier frequency and the valid cell list.

[0526] In a possible design of this embodiment, the measurement cell list is used to indicate a list of cells for performing measurement and reporting.

[0527] The measurement cell list indicates a list of cells to be measured and reported in the RRC idle state or the RRC inactive state, including the range of PCIs.
