Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a signal processing method, apparatus, terminal, and network device. Background Technology

[0002] To achieve energy savings, a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) mechanism has been proposed, where the Main Radio (MR) only receives data during its active period, during which time the MR is enabled. To further reduce terminal power consumption, a Low Power Wake-Up (LP-WUS) scheme has been proposed. This allows network devices to wake up the terminal's MR for data reception using a first signal, such as a Low Power Wake-Up Signal (LP-WUS). When the MR is inactive (off state) and data is being transmitted, the terminal can receive the first signal (e.g., the LP-WUS signal) from the Ultra-deep sleep state via a Low Power Wake-Up Receiver (LP-WUR, LR), activating the MR to receive data. When there is no data transmission, the MR remains off, significantly reducing terminal power consumption. Figure 1 As shown.

[0003] Considering that a terminal may need to wake up the MR in both connected and disconnected states (i.e., idle or inactive), the design of the first signal needs to indicate MR wake-up in both connected and disconnected states respectively. Therefore, it is necessary to consider configuring the first signal under different terminal states (i.e., connected and disconnected). Accordingly, the terminal in different terminal states (i.e., connected and disconnected) needs to correctly demodulate the first signal corresponding to its terminal state to ensure that the terminal can perform paging message listening and / or physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) listening. However, there is currently no solution for how the terminal can correctly demodulate the first signal corresponding to its terminal state. Summary of the Invention

For example, applicable systems may include Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE Frequency Division Duplex (FDD), LTE Time Division Duplex (TDD), Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-A), Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), 5G New Radio (NR) and its evolutionary communication systems, and 6G (sixth generation mobile communication technology) systems. These systems may include terminals and network equipment. The system may also include a core network component, such as the Evolved Packet Core (EPC) or the 5G core network (5GC).

[0259] Network devices and terminals can each use one or more antennas for Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) transmission. MIMO transmission can be Single-User MIMO (SU-MIMO) or Multiple-User MIMO (MU-MIMO). Depending on the configuration and number of antenna combinations, MIMO transmission can be 2D-MIMO, 3D-MIMO, FD-MIMO, or massive-MIMO, and can also be diversity transmission, precoding transmission, or beamforming transmission, etc.

For example, A and / or B can represent three cases: A alone, A and B simultaneously, and B alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following associated objects have an "or" relationship.

[0261] In the embodiments of this application, the term "multiple" refers to two or more, and other quantifiers are similar.

[0262] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0263] The following describes the relevant technologies involved in this application:

[0264] 1. The design of LP-WUS;

[0265] The design of LP-WUS needs to indicate MR wake-up in connected and disconnected states. LP-WUS configuration information for different states can be configured via different higher-layer signaling. For example, LP-WUS resource configuration information in connected state can be configured via UE-specific higher-layer signaling, while LP-WUS resource configuration information in disconnected state can be issued by the System Information Block (SIB). For disconnected state, codepoints are supported to carry wake-up information; however, for connected state, it is currently uncertain whether a bitmap or codepoint will be used to carry wake-up information.

[0266] For example, the following is a typical LP-WUS design applicable to both IDLE / INACTIVE and CONNECTED modes:

[0267] Specify OOK (OOK-1 and / or OOK-4) based LP-WUS with overlaid OFDM sequence(s) over OOK symbol;

[0268] The LP-WUS design should ensure that for IDLE / INACTIVE operations, the same information is delivered regardless of the LP-WUR type. The OFDM sequence can carry information.

[0269] At least duty-cycled monitoring of LP-WUS is supported.

[0270] 2. Energy-saving signal;

[0271] For the RRC connected state (RRC_CONNECTED), a power-saving signal based on downlink control information format 2_6 (DCI format 2_6) can be used to indicate whether the terminal is woken up in subsequent DRX cycles. The bandwidth part (BWP) of the power-saving signal is configured to be consistent with the BWP activated by the terminal. Its search space type is the Type 2A-PDCCH CSS set.

[0272] For RRC idle or inactive states (RRC_IDLE / INACTIVE), a power-saving signal based on downlink control information format 2_7 (DCI format 2_7) can be used to indicate whether the terminal is listening for paging information on the paging opportunity. Its search space type is the Type 3 physical downlink control channel common search space set (Type 3-PDCCHCSS set).

[0273] Connected LP-WUS and disconnected (i.e., idle or inactive) LP-WUS may collide with time-frequency resources, such as... Figure 2As shown. When energy-saving signals scrambled by DCI_format 2_6 and DCI_format 2_7 collide at resource locations, since the search space can have up to 16 candidate sets, collisions can be avoided by selecting different search space locations for energy-saving signals in different terminal states. However, since the location of LP-WUS is not controlled by the search space, there are no multiple candidate locations to choose from. Therefore, the resource collision problem between connected LP-WUS and disconnected (i.e., idle or inactive) LP-WUS cannot be solved by using different search space candidate sets. Therefore, when LP-WUS in different terminal states collide at resources, it is necessary to solve how to correctly demodulate the corresponding LP-WUS in different terminal states.

[0274] This application provides a signal processing method, apparatus, terminal, and network device to address the current lack of a solution for how a terminal can correctly demodulate the first signal in a given terminal state. The method and apparatus (or terminal or network device) are based on the same concept. Since the principles by which the method and apparatus (or terminal or network device) solve the problem are similar, their implementations can be mutually referenced, and repeated details will not be elaborated further.

[0275] like Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides a signal processing method, including the following steps:

[0276] Step 31: The terminal receives the first signal;

[0277] Step 32: The terminal decodes the first signal according to the first configuration information;

[0278] Wherein, the first configuration information is used to determine whether the first signal is a first type signal or a second type signal; the first type signal is used to indicate whether the terminal in the connected state is listening to paging messages and / or whether the first timer for listening to PDCCH is started; the second type signal is used to indicate whether the terminal in the idle state or inactive state is listening to paging messages and / or whether the second timer for listening to PDCCH is started.

[0279] In this embodiment of the application, when the terminal receives the first signal, it can determine whether the first signal is a first type signal or a second type of information based on the first configuration information. That is, the terminal can correctly decode the first signal used to indicate whether to listen to paging messages and / or whether to start the first timer used to listen to PDCCH in the connected state, or can correctly decode the second timer used to indicate whether to listen to paging messages and / or whether to start the second timer used to listen to PDCCH in the idle state or inactive state. This enables the terminal to correctly demodulate the first signal in the corresponding terminal state in different terminal states.

[0280] Optionally, the first signal may be LP-WUS, for example, the first signal may be LP-WUS in the connected state, that is, a first type signal used to indicate whether to listen for paging messages and / or whether to start the first timer for listening to PDCCH; or, the first signal may be LP-WUS in the idle state or inactive state, that is, a second type signal used to indicate whether to listen for paging messages and / or whether to start the second timer for listening to PDCCH.

[0281] Optionally, the terminal decoding the first signal according to the first configuration information may include: the terminal decoding the first signal according to parameters included in the first configuration information for determining whether the first signal is a first type signal or a second type signal; or, it may also include: the terminal decoding the first signal according to parameters included in the first configuration information for determining whether the first signal is a first type signal or a second type signal, as well as protocol-defined parameters for determining whether the first signal is a first type signal or a second type signal, etc. Alternatively, it can be understood that the first configuration information includes parameters configured by the network device for determining whether the first signal is a first type signal or a second type signal, as well as protocol-defined parameters for determining whether the first signal is a first type signal or a second type signal, etc., and this embodiment is not limited thereto.

[0282] Optionally, before the terminal decodes the first signal according to the first configuration information, it further includes:

[0283] The terminal receives the first configuration information sent by the network device;

[0284] Specifically, when the terminal is in a connected state, the first configuration information is carried in RRC signaling (e.g., UE-specific RRC signaling); or, when the terminal is in an idle or inactive state, the first configuration information is carried in SIB (e.g., SIBx).

[0285] Optionally, the first configuration information includes at least one of the following:

[0286] Bit length information is used to indicate that the bit length of the first type of signal is a first value and the bit length of the second type of signal is a second value. For example, the first configuration information includes bit length information, which, by indicating that the bit length of the first type of signal is the first value and the bit length of the second type of signal is the second value, is used to distinguish whether the first signal is a first type of signal or a second type of signal parameter (i.e., the first configuration information can be used to determine whether the first signal is a first type of signal or a second type of signal parameter). Specifically, the first value and the second value are not equal (or different), that is, the bit length information can indicate that the bit lengths of the first type of signal and the second type of signal are not equal (or different) to distinguish whether the first signal is a first type of signal or a second type of signal parameter.

[0287] Sequence-related information is used to determine a first sequence group of the first type of signal and a second sequence group of the second type of signal. For example, the first configuration information includes sequence-related information, which can be used to determine the first sequence group of the first type of signal and the second sequence group of the second type of signal. Thus, by using different sequence groups between the first type of signal and the second type of signal (e.g., the first sequence group and the second sequence group contain different sequences), the first signal can be distinguished as either a first type of signal or a second type of signal parameter (i.e., the first configuration information can be used to determine whether the first signal is a first type of signal or a second type of signal parameter).

[0288] Optionally, the terminal receiving the first signal may include:

[0289] The terminal receives the first signal according to the first configuration information; for example, the terminal may receive the first signal periodically or aperiodically during the first signal monitoring occupancy (MO) according to the first configuration information.

[0290] The first configuration information further includes at least one of the following:

[0291] Information related to the OOK waveform used to generate the first signal; for example, this information includes, but is not limited to, the type of OOK waveform used to generate the first signal, the number of bits of the OOK symbol carried on an OFDM symbol, etc.; for example, the type of OOK waveform can be a first type of OOK waveform (or OOK-1 waveform) or a second type of OOK waveform (or OOK-4 waveform), wherein the first type of OOK waveform and the second type of OOK waveform have different numbers of bits of the OOK symbol carried on an OFDM symbol and / or different received sequence types. For example, the first type of OOK waveform corresponds to 1 bit, and the received sequence type is a frequency domain sequence; the second type of OOK waveform corresponds to M bits (M is greater than or equal to 1), and the received sequence type is a time domain sequence.

[0292] The first indication information is used to indicate the signal type of the first signal; for example, the signal type can be a sequence-based signal type or an encoded-based signal type, etc.

[0293] The second indication information is used to indicate the encoding method of the first signal; for example, the encoding method can be Manchester coding.

[0294] The third indication information is used to indicate the bit length of the first signal; for example, the bit length can be 8 bits or 16 bits or other bit lengths, etc., and the embodiments of this application are not limited thereto.

[0295] The temporal location parameters of the first signal; for example: temporal location parameters include, but are not limited to: the association parameters of label-block offset (LO) and paging opportunity (PO), frame-level offset, symbol-level offset, etc.

[0296] The frequency domain location parameters of the first signal; for example, frequency domain location parameters include, but are not limited to, physical resource block (PRB) indexes, etc.

[0297] Codepoint values.

[0298] It should be noted that when the first configuration information does not include "bit-related information" (e.g., the first configuration information configures sequence-related information to determine whether the first signal is a first-type signal or a second-type signal), the first configuration information may include "third indication information." That is, when using sequence-related information to distinguish whether the first signal is a first-type signal or a second-type signal, the bit length is N regardless of whether the first signal is a first-type signal or a second-type signal. Of course, when using sequence-related information to distinguish whether the first signal is a first-type signal or a second-type signal, the bit length when the first signal is a first-type signal may not be equal to the bit length when the first information is a second-type information. That is, both bit-related information and sequence-related information can be used to distinguish whether the first signal is a first-type signal or a second-type signal, and the embodiments of this application are not limited thereto.

[0299] Optionally, the terminal decodes the first signal according to the first configuration information, including:

[0300] When the terminal is in a connected state, if the bit length of the first signal is the first value, then the terminal decodes the first signal;

[0301] or,

[0302] When the terminal is in an idle or inactive state, if the bit length of the first signal is the second value, the terminal decodes the first signal.

[0303] In this embodiment, the first configuration information includes bit length information, i.e., bit length information configured on the network device side or agreed upon based on the protocol, used to determine whether the first signal is a first type signal or a second type signal. For a connected terminal, if the bit length of the first signal received by the terminal is a first value, the terminal determines to decode the first signal. For example, based on the indication of the first signal, it may listen to or not listen to paging messages, and / or, based on the indication of the first signal, it may enable or disable the first timer used for listening to the PDCCH. For an idle or inactive terminal, if the bit length of the first signal received by the terminal is a second value, the terminal determines to decode the first signal. For example, based on the indication of the first signal, it may listen to or not listen to paging messages, and / or, based on the indication of the first signal, it may enable or disable the second timer used for listening to the PDCCH, etc.

[0304] Implementation Scheme 1: The terminal receives the first signal periodically or aperiodically on the MO of the first signal according to the first configuration information, and decodes the first signal according to the bit length information in the first configuration information.

[0305] The network device configures first configuration information for the terminal, the first configuration information including at least one of the following parameters:

[0306] Bit length information is used to indicate that the bit length of the first type of signal is a first value X and the bit length of the second type of signal is a second value Y, where X is not equal to Y and X and Y are positive integers;

[0307] Time-domain location parameters;

[0308] Frequency domain location parameters;

[0309] OOK waveform related information;

[0310] Signal type;

[0311] Encoding method;

[0312] Code point value.

[0313] The terminal's LP-WUR receives the first signal periodically or aperiodically on the MO. For example, the MO period of the first signal can be bound to connected discontinuous reception (C-DRX) or disconnected discontinuous reception (I-DRX), or it can be configured independently.

[0314] The process by which the terminal decodes the first signal based on the bit length information in the first configuration information includes:

[0315] The terminal compares the bit length information configured in the first configuration information with the bit length of the received first signal:

[0316] If the two lengths are the same, the LP-WUR will receive the paging message or not listen, and / or turn on or off the timer (first timer or second timer) according to the indication of the received first signal;

[0317] For example, the bit length of the first signal received by the terminal is Z, where Z is a positive integer:

[0318] For a terminal in the RRC_CONNECTED state, if Z = X, the LP-WUR decodes the first signal and, based on the indication of the first signal, either starts or stops the first timer; if the terminal starts the first timer based on the indication of the first signal, the ME may or may not listen to the PDCCH.

[0319] Optionally, the first timer can be a conventional timer, such as: DRX duration timer (drx-onDurationTimer), DRX inactivity timer (drx-InactivityTimer), DRX downlink retransmission timer (drx-RetransmissionTimerDL), DRX uplink retransmission timer (drx-RetransmissionTimerUL), DRX downlink hybrid automatic repeat request round-trip timer (drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerDL), DRX uplink hybrid automatic repeat request round-trip timer (drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerUL); or the first timer can also be a new timer defined other than the conventional timers mentioned above, etc., and the embodiments of this application are not limited thereto.

[0320] For terminals in RRC_IDLE / INACTIVE state, if Z=Y, then LP-WUR decodes the first signal and determines whether to receive a paging message based on the indication of the first signal.

[0321] If the two lengths are not the same, the LP-WUR will not receive paging messages and / or will not start the timer (either the first timer or the second timer).

[0322] For terminals in the RRC_CONNECTED state, if Z≠X, then LP-WUR will not decode the first signal and will not start the first timer.

[0323] For terminals in RRC_IDLE / INACTIVE state, if Z≠Y, then LP-WUR will not decode the first signal and will not receive paging messages.

[0324] Optionally, the sequence-related information includes at least one of the following:

[0325] The total number of items in the first sequence is X1; for example, X1 = 32 or 64 or other values, or the total number of items in the first sequence can be represented by the index X1 = 0, ..., X1-1. This application embodiment is not limited to this.

[0326] Used to determine the starting index of the first sequence in the first sequence group;

[0327] Y1 is used to determine the number of first sequences in the first sequence group;

[0328] Used to determine the starting index of the second sequence in the second sequence group;

[0329] Y2 is used to determine the number of second sequences corresponding to the second sequence group.

[0330] Optionally, the terminal decodes the first signal according to the first configuration information, including:

[0331] The terminal determines a third sequence group based on the first configuration information; wherein the third sequence group contains X1 sequences;

[0332] The terminal determines the first sequence group of the first type of signal and / or the second sequence group of the second type of signal based on the third sequence group;

[0333] The terminal decodes the first signal according to the first sequence group or the second sequence group.

[0334] For example, the terminal determines the first sequence group of the first type of signal and / or the second sequence group of the second type of signal based on the third sequence group, including: the terminal determines the first sequence group of the first type of signal and the second sequence group of the second type of signal based on the third sequence group; or, the terminal determines the first sequence group of the first type of signal or the second sequence group of the second type of signal based on the third sequence group and the terminal state; wherein, the terminal state includes a connected state, an idle state, or an inactive state.

[0335] For example, the terminal decoding the first signal according to the first sequence group or the second sequence group includes: when the terminal determines the first sequence group of the first type of signal or the second sequence group of the second type of signal according to the third sequence group, the terminal decodes the first signal according to the first sequence group or the second sequence group; or, when the terminal determines the first sequence group of the first type of signal and the second sequence group of the second type of signal according to the third sequence group, the terminal determines, according to the terminal state, to decode the first signal according to the first sequence group or the second sequence group.

[0336] Optionally, as one implementation: the terminal determines a third sequence group based on the first configuration information; wherein the third sequence group contains X1 sequences;

[0337] The terminal determines the first sequence group of the first type of signal and / or the second sequence group of the second type of signal based on the third sequence group;

[0338] The terminal determines, based on its state, to decode the first signal according to either the first sequence group or the second sequence group; wherein the terminal state includes a connected state, an idle state, or an inactive state.

[0339] In this embodiment, the terminal determines a third sequence group based on the first configuration information. This third sequence group is used to determine the first sequence group and / or the second sequence group. For example, the terminal can split the third sequence group according to a preset rule to obtain a first sequence group for determining whether the first signal is a first type of signal, and / or a second sequence group for determining whether the first signal is a second type of signal. Thus, the terminal can determine whether to use the first sequence group or the second sequence group to decode the first signal for different terminal states, so as to ensure that the terminal can correctly demodulate the first signal in the corresponding terminal state in different terminal states.

[0340] Optionally, the terminal determines a first sequence group of the first type of signal and / or a second sequence group of the second type of signal (based on the aforementioned preset rule) according to the third sequence group, including one of the following:

[0341] The terminal determines M consecutive sequences in the third sequence group as the first sequence group, and / or determines N consecutive sequences in the third sequence group as the second sequence group; wherein the M sequences do not overlap with the N sequences, and M and N are both positive integers; for example, the non-overlapping of the M sequences and N sequences can mean that the M sequences and N sequences do not contain the same sequences, or that the intersection of the set of the M sequences and the set of the N sequences is an empty set, or it can be understood as splitting the sequences in the third sequence group into two sets with an empty intersection, one set containing M sequences and the other set containing N sequences, etc. Wherein, M and N can be equal or unequal. For example, when M = N, the first X1 / 2 sequences in the third sequence group (i.e., sequences with sequence indices from 0 to X1 / 2-1) can be determined as the M sequences, and the last X1 / 2 sequences in the third sequence group (i.e., sequences with sequence indices from X1 / 2 to X1-1) can be determined as the N sequences. Alternatively, the first X1 / 2 sequences in the third sequence group (i.e., sequences with sequence indices from 0 to X1 / 2-1) can be determined as the N sequences, and the last X1 / 2 sequences in the third sequence group (i.e., sequences with sequence indices from X1 / 2 to X1-1) can be determined as the M sequences, etc. The embodiments of this application are not limited to this.

[0342] The terminal determines the sequence in the third sequence group that has an odd number of positions as the first sequence group, and / or determines the sequence in the third sequence group that has an even number of positions as the second sequence group;

[0343] The terminal determines the sequence in the third sequence group that has an even number of positions as the first sequence group, and / or determines the sequence in the third sequence group that has an odd number of positions as the second sequence group;

[0344] The terminal determines the first sequence group as the first sequence group by selecting Y1 consecutive sequences starting from the first sequence start index in the third sequence group, and / or determines the second sequence group as the second sequence group by selecting Y2 consecutive sequences starting from the second sequence start index in the third sequence group.

[0345] Alternatively, as another implementation: the terminal decodes the first signal according to the first configuration information, including:

[0346] The terminal determines a third sequence group based on the first configuration information; wherein the third sequence group contains X1 sequences;

[0347] The terminal determines the first sequence group of the first type of signal and the second sequence group of the second type of signal based on the third sequence group;

[0348] The terminal determines, based on its state, to decode the first signal according to either the first sequence group or the second sequence group; wherein the terminal state includes a connected state, an idle state, or an inactive state.

[0349] Specifically, the method by which the terminal determines the first sequence group of the first type of signal based on the third sequence group, and the method by which it determines the second sequence group of the second type of signal based on the third sequence group, can be found in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0350] In this embodiment, the terminal determines a third sequence group based on the first configuration information. This third sequence group is used to determine the first sequence group and the second sequence group. For example, the terminal can split the third sequence group according to a preset rule to obtain a first sequence group for determining whether the first signal is a first type of signal and a second sequence group for determining whether the first signal is a second type of signal. Thus, the terminal can determine whether to use the first sequence group or the second sequence group to decode the first signal for different terminal states, so as to ensure that the terminal can correctly demodulate the first signal in the corresponding terminal state in different terminal states.

[0351] Alternatively, as another implementation: the terminal decodes the first signal according to the first configuration information, including:

[0352] The terminal determines a third sequence group based on the first configuration information; wherein the third sequence group contains X1 sequences;

[0353] The terminal determines either the first sequence group of the first type of signal or the second sequence group of the second type of signal based on the third sequence group and the terminal state; wherein, the terminal state includes a connected state, an idle state, or an inactive state.

[0354] The terminal decodes the first signal according to the first sequence group or the second sequence group.

[0355] For example, the terminal determines the first sequence group of the first type of signal and the second sequence group of the second type of signal based on the third sequence group and the terminal state. This may include: determining the first sequence group of the first type of signal based on the third sequence group when the terminal is in a connected state, or determining the second sequence group of the second type of signal based on the third sequence group when the terminal is in an idle state or an inactive state.

[0356] Specifically, the method by which the terminal determines the first sequence group of the first type of signal based on the third sequence group, or determines the second sequence group of the second type of signal based on the third sequence group, can be found in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0357] In this embodiment, the terminal determines a third sequence group based on the first configuration information. This third sequence group is used to determine either the first sequence group or the second sequence group. For example, the terminal can split the third sequence group according to a preset rule to obtain a first sequence group for determining whether the first signal is a first type of signal, or a second sequence group for determining whether the first signal is a second type of signal. Thus, the terminal can determine whether to use the first sequence group or the second sequence group to decode the first signal for different terminal states, so as to ensure that the terminal can correctly demodulate the first signal in the corresponding terminal state in different terminal states.

[0358] Optionally, the terminal determines, based on its state, to decode the first signal according to the first sequence group or the second sequence group, or the terminal decodes the first signal according to the first sequence group or the second sequence group, including:

[0359] When the terminal is in a connected state, if the first signal contains the first associated sequence in the first sequence group, then the terminal decodes the first signal;

[0360] or,

[0361] If the terminal is in an idle or inactive state, and the first signal contains a second associated sequence from the second sequence group, then the terminal decodes the first signal.

[0362] For example, for a connected terminal, if the terminal detects a first associated sequence belonging to the first sequence group on the MO (Mean Interchange), meaning the first signal received by the terminal contains the first associated sequence from the first sequence group, then the terminal determines that the first signal is a first type signal and can decode the first signal. For an idle or inactive state, if the terminal detects a second associated sequence belonging to the second sequence group on the MO (Mean Interchange), meaning the first signal received by the terminal contains the second associated sequence from the second sequence group, then the terminal determines that the first signal is a second type signal and can decode the first signal. In this way, the terminal can determine whether the first signal is a first type signal or a second type signal based on the first and second sequence groups, thereby ensuring that the terminal can correctly demodulate the first signal in the corresponding terminal state under different terminal states.

[0616] Step 3: The LP-WUR decodes the LP-WUS according to the first sequence group or the second sequence group, which is used to instruct the UE to listen to the PDCCH.

[0617] Option 1: If a terminal in the connected state detects the first associated sequence in the first sequence group at the location of the target MO, it wakes up the MR to listen to the PDCCH.

[0618] Optionally, the first association sequence may be related to UE-ID or RNTI;

[0636] Where the starting index of the second sequence is greater than the starting index of the first sequence plus the number of elements in the first sequence minus 2; and the starting index of the first sequence is less than the number of elements in the second sequence.

[0637] Step 3: gNB generates LP-WUS signal based on the first sequence group and / or the second sequence group;

[0638] For connected UEs, the gNB determines LP-WUS based on the UE-ID or RNTI; for example: LP-WUS_connected = f1(x1), where x1 can be either the UE-ID or RNTI.

[0639] For non-connected UEs, the gNB determines LP-WUS based on subgroup-ID or cell-ID; for example: LP-WUS_idle / inactive = f2(x2), where x2 can be either subgroup-ID or cell-ID.
