[0124] It can be understood that the communication system described in the embodiments of the present disclosure is for more clearly illustrating the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure, and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions proposed in the embodiments of the present disclosure. It can be known by those skilled in the art that, as the system architecture evolves and new business scenarios appear, the technical solutions proposed in the embodiments of the present disclosure are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0125] The following embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to the communication system 100 shown in FIG. 1, or part of the subject, but are not limited thereto. The subjects shown in FIG. 1 are exemplary, and the communication system can include all or part of the subjects in FIG. 1, or other subjects other than FIG. 1.

[0126] Embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to long term evolution (LTE), LTE-advanced (LTE-A), LTE-beyond (LTE-B), SUPER 3G, IMT-Advanced, 4th generation mobile communication system (4G), 5th generation mobile communication system (5G), 5G new radio (NR), future radio access (FRA), new-radio access technology (RAT), new radio (NR), new radio access (NX), future generation radio access (FX), global System for mobile communications (GSM (registered trademark)), CDMA2000, ultra mobile broadband (UMB), IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.20, ultra-wide band (UWB), bluetooth (bluetooth (registered trademark)), public land mobile network (PLMN) network, device-to-device (D2D) system, machine to machine (M2M) system, internet of things (IoT) system, vehicle-to-everything (V2X), system using other communication methods, next-generation system expanded based on them, and the like. Further, a plurality of systems can be applied in combination (for example, combination of LTE or LTE-A and 5G, and the like).

[0127] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the main receiver (MR), main radio (MR), and master receiver (MR) can be interchangeable, indicating the same meaning. The low power wake up receiver (LP WUR) and the low power wake up radio (LP WUR) can be interchangeable, indicating the same meaning.

[0128] Low power (LP) wake up signal (WUS) is introduced in Release 18 (Rel-18). LP WUS uses a separate receiver, called LP-WUR (or LR). The terminal needs to use MR to normally process downlink and / or uplink data. The WUS signal can be used in the radio resource control (RRC) connected state, inactive state, idle state, and the like. The LP WUS can indicate the terminal main wireless to switch between any two sleep states, and can also indicate the terminal to wake up or not to wake up. If the terminal receives the WUS signal indicating to wake up, the main radio will be turned on for receiving and processing downlink and / or uplink signals, and if the WUS signal is not received, or the WUS indicates not to wake up, the terminal will remain in the current sleep state of the MR. The sleep state of the MR includes four types: ultra-deep sleep, deep sleep, light sleep, and micro sleep.

[0129] There are two ways for the LP WUR to work, one is always ON, and the other is duty cycle. For the always ON mode, the LP WUR of the terminal is always in the open state, and the network device can send the LP WUS at any time to wake up the terminal. For the duty cycle mode, the terminal turns on the LP WUR only in the listening time window of the LP WUS according to a certain mechanism, and the network device can also only send the LP WUS to wake up the terminal in this time period. In addition, according to the different supported signal types, the LP WUR can be divided into two categories: the LP-WUR can at least support two types: a receiver that only supports envelope detection of the On-Off Keying (OOK) symbol of the LP WUS, referred to as OOK LR; and a receiver that supports detecting the time domain or frequency domain sequence carried by the OOK symbol of the LP WUS, referred to as orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) LR. Generally, the link performance of the OOK LR is relatively poor, while the OFDM LR is better.

[0130] In the related art, the network device is not aware of whether the terminal supports the first receiver and the second receiver to work simultaneously, or the time interval required by the switching process of the switching work of the first receiver and the second receiver, so that the network device cannot accurately configure the corresponding resources for the terminal, affecting the communication performance, which is a problem to be solved.

[0131] Based on this, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a communication method and device. The method performed by the terminal comprises: sending first information to the network device, wherein the first information comprises at least one of first capability information and second capability information, the first capability information is used to indicate whether the terminal supports the first receiver and the second receiver to work simultaneously; and the second capability information is used to indicate the time interval information required by the switching process of the switching work of the first receiver and the second receiver of the terminal. Thus, the terminal sends the first information to the network device, which can make the network device determine at least one of whether the terminal supports the first receiver and the second receiver to work simultaneously, and the time interval required by the switching process of the switching work of the first receiver and the second receiver, so as to accurately configure the resources used for information transmission when the corresponding receivers work for the terminal, and improve the communication performance.

In one implementation mode, the MR and the LP WUR share part of the hardware, which will cause the MR and the LP WUR to be unable to work at the same time, and there will be a certain switching time when the two work. In addition, the UE implementing the LP WUR and the MR in this way will have a certain difference in the working switching time between the MR and the LP WUR according to different implementation modes. In another implementation mode, the MR and the LP WUR are independently designed, and the MR and the LP WUR can be turned on and work at the same time.

[0346] Problem 1: How to determine whether the UE can support the MR and the LP WUR working at the same time, or can receive the LP WUS and the legacy downlink channel at the same time.

[0347] For the network device (for example, base station), if it can determine whether the LP WUR and the MR of the UE can work at the same time, it will be helpful for it to configure the corresponding resources of the LP WUS and the legacy downlink channel for the UE. This problem is actually a terminal capability problem, and through the terminal capability reporting, the above information will be known.

[0348] Question 2: How to determine the difference of the switching time between MR and LP WUR caused by different implementation.

[0349] Similar to question 1, it is a terminal capability issue.

[0350] Question 3: What is the UE behavior when the UE does not support MR and LP WUR working simultaneously, or, the UE cannot receive LP WUS and legacy downlink channel simultaneously.

[0351] The UE capability in the above questions needs to be defined by the protocol.

[0352] First embodiment: In a network, the base station can wake up the terminals supporting LP WUS in the cell or change the sleep state of the terminals by sending LP WUS. For the terminals supporting LP WUS, at least one LP WUS signal is received through the LP WUR, and the wake-up of the MR or the change of the sleep state of the MR is completed according to the information carried by the received LP WUS signal. The change of the sleep state of the MR refers to the mutual switching among the super deep sleep, deep sleep, light sleep, and light sleep states, and the wake-up of the MR refers to the conversion of the MR from any sleep state to the wake-up state. The MR is used to receive the legacy downlink channel, including but not limited to DG PDSCH, SPS PDSCH, PDCCH, etc.

[0353] The protocol predefines the first UE capability (see the first capability information in the above embodiment), which is used to determine whether the terminal device supports MR and LP WUR working simultaneously, or, is used to determine whether the terminal device supports receiving LP WUS and the first downlink transmission simultaneously, or, is used to determine whether the terminal device supports listening to LP WUS and the first downlink transmission simultaneously. The specific value / special value of the reported first UE capability can be bytes, characters, strings, bit values, etc. The reporting unit is preferably per UE reporting, and the suboptimal is per band reporting. The first downlink transmission includes but is not limited to DG PDSCH, SPS PDSCH, PDCCH, SSB.

[0354] Optionally, the first UE capability is defined in a manner comprising at least one of: indicating that the terminal supports simultaneous operation of main radio (MR) and low power (LP) WUR; indicating that the terminal does not support simultaneous operation of MR and LP WUR; indicating whether the terminal supports simultaneous operation of MR and LP WUR; indicating that the terminal supports simultaneous reception of LP WUS and first downlink transmission; indicating that the terminal does not support simultaneous reception of LP WUS and first downlink transmission; indicating whether the terminal supports simultaneous reception of LP WUS and first downlink transmission; indicating that the terminal supports simultaneous listening of LP WUS and first downlink transmission; indicating that the terminal does not support simultaneous listening of LP WUS and first downlink transmission; and indicating whether the terminal supports simultaneous listening of LP WUS and first downlink transmission.

[0355] For example, a terminal capability is predefined by a protocol and reported by a terminal device per UE to a base station, and the terminal capability comprises a bit information indicating whether the terminal supports simultaneous operation of MR and LP WUR. When the bit is 0, it indicates that the terminal device does not support simultaneous operation of MR and LP WUR; and when the bit is 1, it indicates that the terminal supports simultaneous operation of MR and LP WUR.

[0356] For example, a terminal capability is predefined by a protocol and reported by a terminal device per UE to a base station, and the terminal capability comprises a bit information indicating whether the terminal supports simultaneous reception of LP WUS and SPS PDSCH. When the bit is 0, it indicates that the terminal device does not support simultaneous reception of LP WUS and SPS PDSCH; and when the bit is 1, it indicates that the terminal supports simultaneous reception of LP WUS and SPS PDSCH.

[0357] For example, a terminal capability is predefined by a protocol and reported by a terminal device per UE to a base station, and the terminal capability comprises a bit information indicating whether the terminal supports simultaneous listening of LP WUS and SPS PDSCH. When the bit is 0, it indicates that the terminal device does not support simultaneous listening of LP WUS and SPS PDSCH; and when the bit is 1, it indicates that the terminal supports simultaneous listening of LP WUS and SPS PDSCH.

[0358] In a second embodiment, in a network, a base station is capable of waking up or changing the sleep state of terminals in a cell that support LP WUS by sending LP WUS. For a terminal that supports LP WUS, at least one LP WUS signal is received through the LP WUR, and the wake-up or sleep state change of the MR is completed according to the information carried by the received LP WUS signal. Among them, the change of the sleep state of the MR refers to the mutual switching among super deep sleep, deep sleep, light sleep, and light sleep, and the wake-up of the MR refers to the conversion of the MR from any sleep state to the wake-up state. The MR is used to receive legacy downlink channels, including but not limited to DG PDSCH, SPS PDSCH, PDCCH, etc.

[0359] The protocol predefines a second UE capability (see the second capability information in the above embodiment), which is used to determine the time when the terminal device MR switches the work with the LP WUR, or the time when the MR switches to the LP WUR, or the time when the LP WUR switches to the MR, or the time when the LP WUS is switched between the first downlink transmission, or the time when the first downlink transmission is switched from receiving the LP WUS, or the time when the LP WUS is switched from receiving the first downlink. The specific value / specific value of the reported second UE capability can be bytes, characters, strings, bit values, etc. The reporting unit is preferably per UE reporting, and the second preferred is per band reporting. The first downlink transmission includes but is not limited to DG PDSCH, SPS PDSCH, PDCCH, SSB.

[0360] Optionally, the definition of the first UE capability includes at least one of the following: indicating the maximum time of the terminal MR and the LP WUR switching work; indicating the minimum time of the terminal MR and the LP WUR switching work; indicating the maximum time of the terminal switching from the MR to the LP WUR for work; indicating the minimum time of the terminal switching from the MR to the LP WUR for work; indicating the maximum time of the terminal switching from the LP WUR to the MR for work; indicating the minimum time of the terminal switching from the LP WUR to the MR for work; indicating the maximum time of the terminal switching between the LP WUS and the first downlink transmission; indicating the minimum time of the terminal switching between the LP WUS and the first downlink transmission; indicating the maximum time of the terminal switching from receiving the LP WUS to receiving the first downlink transmission; indicating the minimum time of the terminal switching from receiving the LP WUS to receiving the first downlink transmission; indicating the maximum time of the terminal switching from receiving the first downlink transmission to receiving the LP WUS; indicating the minimum time of the terminal switching from receiving the first downlink transmission to receiving the LP WUS.

[0361] The maximum time or minimum time can be measured by a relative time unit or an absolute time unit. The relative time unit includes, but is not limited to, a time domain symbol, a time slot, a mini time slot, a radio frame, and a radio subframe. The absolute time unit includes, but is not limited to, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds, and microseconds.

[0362] In a third embodiment, in a network, a base station can wake up or change the sleep state of a terminal supporting LP WUS in a cell by sending an LP WUS. For a terminal supporting LP WUS, at least one LP WUS signal is received through an LP WUR, and the wake-up or sleep state change of the MR is completed according to the information carried by the received LP WUS signal. Among them, the change of the sleep state of the MR refers to the mutual switching among super deep sleep, deep sleep, light sleep, and light sleep, and the wake-up of the MR refers to the conversion of the MR from any sleep state to the wake-up state. The MR is used to receive a legacy downlink channel, including but not limited to DG PDSCH, SPS PDSCH, PDCCH, etc.

[0363] The behavior of a terminal device when a protocol predefines a first timing relationship between a low-power wake-up signal LP WUS and a first transmission. The first transmission includes, but is not limited to, DG PDSCH, SPS PDSCH, PDCCH, etc. The first timing relationship includes at least one of the following:

[0365] The first time point is the end of the time domain, or the start of the time domain; and the second time point is the end of the time domain, or the start of the time domain.
