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 by the embodiments of the present disclosure are also applicable to similar technical problems.

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.

Further, a plurality of systems can be applied in combination (for example, combination of LTE or LTE-A and 5G, and the like).

[0112] 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 low power wake up radio (LP WUR) can be interchangeable, indicating the same meaning. The ON duration can also be referred to as the duration, indicating the same meaning. The DRX ON duration timer can also be referred to as the DRX duration timer, indicating the same meaning.

[0113] A low power (LP) wake up signal (WUS) is introduced in Release 18 (Rel-18). The LP WUS uses a separate receiver, which is called LP-WUR (or LR). The terminal needs to use the 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.

[0114] 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; 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 speaking, the link performance of the OOK LR is relatively poor, while the OFDM LR is better.

[0115] In the related art, the terminal receives multiple LP WUSs sent by the network device in the first off period of the DRX cycle configured by the network device. Since the LP WUS can trigger the activation and / or deactivation of different transmission listening, the terminal cannot determine the listening strategy to be performed, which affects the communication performance, which is a problem to be solved.

[0116] Based on this, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide an information determination method and device. The method performed by the terminal includes: receiving multiple LP WUSs sent by the network device, wherein the multiple LP WUSs are received in the first off period of the DRX cycle configured by the network device; and determining a listening strategy to be performed according to the content indicated by the multiple LP WUSs. In this way, the terminal receives multiple LP WUSs sent by the network device in the first off period of the DRX cycle configured by the network device, and can determine the listening strategy to be performed according to the content indicated by the multiple LP WUSs, which can improve the communication performance.

[0117] FIG. 2 is an interaction schematic diagram of an information determination method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, the embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an information determination method, and the above method includes:

[0118] S201, the network device sends multiple LP WUSs to the terminal.

[0119] The multiple LP WUSs are received by the terminal in a first off period of a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle configured by the network device, and the multiple LP WUSs are used by the terminal to determine a listening strategy according to content indicated by the multiple LP WUSs.

[0120] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the network device sends the multiple LP WUSs to the terminal by itself, or can also send the multiple LP WUSs to the terminal based on a request of the terminal, or can also send the multiple LP WUSs to the terminal based on a protocol agreement.

[0121] In some embodiments, the network device sends one or more LP WUSs to the terminal in a case where there is a need to activate an ON duration of a DRX cycle, and / or sends one or more LP WUSs to the terminal in a case where there is a need to trigger the terminal to temporarily listen to a PDCCH.

[0122] First, the discontinuous reception (DRX) mechanism is introduced. In order to reduce the power consumption of the terminal device, the network device can configure the terminal device with a connected mode discontinuous reception (C-DRX) mechanism. Under the C-DRX mechanism, the terminal device can periodically enter a sleep state and does not need to monitor the PDCCH. Optionally, the network device sends DRX configuration information to the terminal device through high-layer signaling. The DRX configuration information includes parameters such as a DRX cycle length, an on duration of a DRX on duration timer, and the like. Optionally, at the start position of a DRX cycle, the terminal device can start the DRX on duration timer and begin counting down. When the DRX on duration timer is running, the time belongs to an active time. The terminal device needs to perform blind detection of PDCCH candidates on a synchronization signal (SS) configured by the network device in the active time. If the terminal device has not detected any PDCCH and / or DCI, the DRX on duration timer will continue to count down to 0 and then stop running. After that, the terminal device does not need to perform blind detection of PDCCH candidates in the remaining time of the DRX cycle, that is, enters a sleep state to save power consumption. The time from the start of the DRX on duration timer to the counting down to 0 is also referred to as an on duration in the embodiment of the present disclosure. The time between the closing of the DRX on duration timer and the next start is referred to as an off duration in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0123] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3A, the terminal receives the LP WUS sent by the network device in the first off duration of the DRX cycle configured by the network device, determines to trigger the activation and / or deactivation of the DRX on duration timer, and in the case of triggering the activation, the terminal will listen to the first transmission in the first on duration of the DRX cycle (one on duration after the first off duration shown in FIG. 3A).

[0124] In some embodiments, the first transmission comprises at least one of a dynamic PDCCH, an activation SPS PDCCH, and a release SPS PDCCH.

[0125] For example, the terminal receives the LP WUS sent by the network device during the first off period of the DRX cycle configured by the network device, the LP WUS comprises a bit, the value of the bit is "1", and the terminal can determine to monitor at least one of the dynamic PDCCH, the activation SPS PDCCH, and the release SPS PDCCH during the subsequent on period of the DRX cycle; or the value of the bit is "0", and the terminal can determine not to monitor at least one of the dynamic PDCCH, the activation SPS PDCCH, and the release SPS PDCCH during the subsequent on period of the DRX cycle.

[0126] In some embodiments, the network device can wake up the terminals supporting the LP WUS in the cell or change the sleep state of the terminals by sending the LP WUS. For the terminals supporting the LP WUS, at least one LP WUS is received through the LP WUR, and the wake-up or sleep state change of the MR is completed according to the information carried in the received LP WUS. The change of the sleep state of the MR refers to the mutual switching among the super deep sleep, the deep sleep, the light sleep, the shallow sleep, and the like, 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 the DG PDSCH, the SPS PDSCH, the PDCCH, and the like.

[0127] In some embodiments, the terminal monitoring the first transmission comprises: activating the MR; and monitoring the first transmission after the MR is woken up.

[0128] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal monitoring the first transmission can activate the MR and monitor the first transmission after the MR is woken up, for example, at least one of the dynamic PDCCH, the activation SPS PDCCH, and the release SPS PDCCH.

[0129] In some embodiments, the terminal receives the LP WUS sent by the network device during the first off period of the DRX cycle configured by the network device, determines to trigger the temporary monitoring, and monitors the second transmission within the temporary monitoring time. Optionally, the terminal determines the temporary monitoring time based on the configuration of the network device, or determines the temporary monitoring time based on the protocol agreement, or determines the temporary monitoring time based on the implementation.

[0130] For example, as shown in FIG. 3B, the terminal receives the LP WUS sent by the network device during the first off period of the DRX cycle configured by the network device, determines to trigger the temporary monitoring, and monitors the second transmission within the temporary monitoring time.

[0131] In some embodiments, the second transmission comprises at least one of the CSS and the USS.

[0132] For example, the terminal receives the LP WUS sent by the network device during the first off period of the DRX cycle configured by the network device, the LP WUS comprises one bit, the value of the bit is "1", and the terminal can determine to monitor at least one of the CSS and the USS during the temporary monitoring time; or the value of the bit is "0", and the terminal can determine to monitor at least one of the CSS and the USS during the temporary monitoring time.

[0133] It can be understood that the multiple LP WUSs sent by the network device can indicate the same or different contents, for example, the multiple LP WUSs each comprise one bit, and the values of the bits are all "0" or "1", or the values of the bits are partly "1" and partly "0", wherein the value "1" indicates triggering activation, and the value "0" indicates triggering deactivation. In the case that the values of the bits of the multiple LP WUSs are all "0", the terminal can determine not to monitor the first transmission during the on period of the DRX cycle, but in the case that the values of the bits of the multiple LP WUSs are all "1" or partly "1" and partly "0", the terminal cannot determine whether to execute monitoring the first transmission during the on period of the DRX cycle, or to execute monitoring the second transmission during the temporary monitoring time, or both, which affects the communication performance.

[0134] It should be noted that in the above examples, the LP WUS comprises one bit is taken as an example, and the LP WUS can also comprise other contents such as a field, a byte, etc., which are not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0295] In some embodiments, other optional implementations described before or after the corresponding description of FIG. 5 can be referred to.

[0296] To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure, an exemplary embodiment is provided.

[0297] In the exemplary embodiment, the protocol stipulates that:

[0298] In some embodiments, for the RRC CONNECTED mode, from the perspective of RAN1, further study is conducted on triggering PDCCH monitoring following the LP-WUS procedure:

[0299] Case 1: PDCCH monitoring (interchangeable with listening) is triggered by LP-WUS, and connectivity-discontinuous reception (C-DRX) is configured;

[0300] Option 1-1: LP-WUS monitoring is configured before the drx-onDurationTimer according to the LP-WUS monitoring, to trigger the start of the drx-onDurationTimer.

[0301] This option may replace the downlink control information (DCI for power saving, DCP) function.

[0302] Option 1-2: According to the LP-WUS monitoring configuration, the LP-WUS monitoring triggers the PDCCH monitoring at least outside the traditional C-DRX active time.

[0303] PDCCH monitoring may be independent of the drx-onDurationTimer

[0304] Option 1-2-1: When monitoring LP-WUS, PDCCH monitoring may be additionally triggered according to the traditional C-DRX cycle and the drx-onDurationTimer

[0305] If adopted, it should be configured together with Option 1-1 to achieve energy saving gain compared with traditional C-DRX

[0306] Option 1-2-2: LP-WUS monitoring does not trigger PDCCH monitoring when legacy C-DRX cycle and drx-onDurationTimer are in place

[0307] Option 1-3: LP-WUS monitoring triggers PDCCH monitoring at least during legacy C-DRX active time according to LP-WUS monitoring configuration.

[0308] In some embodiments, the combination of options in case 1 should be considered.

[0309] - RAN1 does not discuss C-DRX related timers other than drx-onDurationTimer, the topic is decided by RAN2.

[0310] - Note: The above does not preclude supporting fallback mechanism to trigger PDCCH monitoring if any.

[0311] For Option 1-2 for LP-WUS CONNECTED mode operation, the following is assumed from RAN1 perspective.

[0312] LP-WUS monitoring triggers PDCCH monitoring according to LP-WUS monitoring configuration at least outside of legacy C-DRX active time.

[0313] UE is configured with legacy C-DRX configuration, e.g. Rel-18.

[0314] UE should be configured with LP-WUS monitoring configuration (periodicity and offset can be different from C-DRX configuration).

[0315] LP-WUS configuration has FFS potential restrictions related to C-DRX configuration.

[0316] LP-WUS triggers a timer whose start, during which the UE listens to PDCCH.

[0317] FFS timer is existing timer and / or new timer.

[0318] UE PDCCH listening behavior related to other legacy DRX timers is not impacted.

[0319] drx-InactivityTimer, drx-RetransmissionTimerDL, drx-RetransmissionTimerUL, drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerDL, drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerUL.

[0320] Assume no impact on RRM / RLM / BFD measurement requirements.

[0321] For periodic CSI / L1-RSRP reporting, the UE can be configured with one of the following options (same as Rel-16 DCP and Option 1-1).

[0322] If the UE is not indicated to wake up, no periodic CSI / L1-RSRP is reported.

[0323] Periodic CSI / L1-RSRP is reported regardless of whether the UE is indicated to wake up or not.

[0324] While monitoring the LP-WUS, the legacy C-DRX cycle and drx-onDurationTimer do not trigger UE PDCCH monitoring.

[0325] Problem 1: How to distinguish whether the LP WUS is for non-continuous reception to wake up DRX ON or for temporary PDCCH monitoring when unified configuration of low-power wake-up signal LP WUS is configured.

[0326] Based on the meeting conclusion, there are two relatively mainstream branches of LP WUS in the related technology (option 1-1 and option 1-2 in the background). The first kind is that the network device sends LP WUS before non-continuous reception starts DRX ON to inform the UE whether it needs to monitor PDCCH in DRX ON; the second kind is that the network device triggers PDCCH monitoring at least once through sending LP WUS, typically, the network sends LP WUS in DRX OFF time to inform whether it needs to wake up to monitor PDCCH. These two kinds of LP WUS can be unified configured or independently configured. When the two kinds of LP WUS are unified configured, although the signaling overhead can be saved, it will cause the ambiguity of the terminal device to the monitoring behavior after waking up, so a certain mechanism is needed to distinguish the two kinds of LP WUS.

[0327] Scheme 1_1: Determine a window, set offset_min and offset_max from the beginning of the ON duration, and the LP WUS in the window is used to trigger drx-onDurationTimer, that is, to replace DCI 2_6. The LP WUS outside the window is used to trigger temporary activation.

[0328] Scheme 1_2: Determine a window, set offset_min from the beginning of the ON duration and the length of the time window, and the LP WUS in the window is used to trigger drx-onDurationTimer, that is, to replace DCI 2_6. The LP WUS outside the window is used to trigger temporary activation.

[0329] Scheme 1_3: Determine a window, set offset_max before ON duration and the length of time window, LP WUS within the window is used to trigger drx-onDurationTimer, i.e. replace DCI 2_6. LP WUS outside the window is used to trigger temporary active.

[0330] Scheme 2: Set offset_min before ON duration, LP WUS before the time point determined by offset_min is used to trigger drx-onDurationTimer, i.e. replace DCI 2_6.

[0331] Question 2: How to understand the working mode of LP WUS in the configuration of time window or time domain?

[0332] Based on question 1, the time window is determined by two offsets, or by one offset + one window length. The time domain is divided by a time point determined by one offset. In the configuration of time window or time domain, there are several understanding options for the working mode of LP WUS:

[0333] Option 1: In the configuration of time window or time domain, there are multiple LP WUS, including LP WUS triggering DRX ON and LP WUS triggering temporary active.

[0334] Option 2: In the configuration of time window or time domain, there is only one LP WUS, which only includes LP WUS triggering DRX ON.

[0335] Option 3: In the configuration of time window or time domain, there are multiple LP WUS, which only include LP WUS triggering DRX ON.

[0336] Question 3: If the LP WUS indication conflicts, how does the terminal behave?

[0337] Case 1: If multiple LP WUS are received, and the LP WUS of different types indicate conflict:

[0338] Alt 1: activate MR; Alt 2: determine whether to activate MR according to the latest LP WUS; Alt 3: determine whether to activate MR according to the most indication.

[0339] Case 2: If multiple LP WUS are received, and all LP WUS indicate activation:

[0340] Alt1: only receive temporarily activated LP WUS, activate OFF active and DRX ON; Alt2: only receive temporarily activated LP WUS, activate OFF active; Alt3: only receive ON duration activated LP WUS, only activate DRX ON; Alt4: receive two kinds of LP WUS, activate OFF active and DRX ON.

[0341] Case3: if multiple LP WUS are received, and the LP WUS of the same type indicates conflict:

[0342] Alt1: activate MR; Alt2: determine whether to activate MR according to the latest LP WUS; Alt3: determine whether to activate MR according to the most indication.

[0343] In a first embodiment, in a network, a network device can wake up or change the sleep state of a terminal supporting LP WUS in a cell by sending LP WUS. For a terminal supporting LP WUS, at least one LP WUS signal is received through LP WUR, and the wake-up or sleep state change of 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 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 a legacy downlink channel, including but not limited to DG PDSCH, SPS PDSCH, PDCCH, etc.

[0344] The network configuration includes at least one of the first type of LP WUS and the second type of LP WUS.

[0345] The first type of LP WUS is used to trigger the ON duration timer. Further, optionally, when the first type of LP WUS indicates that the MR is awake, the terminal device needs to at least one of listen to dynamic PDCCH, activate SPS PDCCH, and release SPS PDCCH.

[0346] The second type of LP WUS is used to trigger a temporarily active time. Further, optionally, the terminal device needs to at least one of listen to CSS and USS within the time.

[0347] The distinguishing method of the first type of LP WUS and the second type of LP WUS includes at least one of the following:

[0348] Method 1:

The first time window is determined by offset_min and offset_max, where the offset_min is the minimum offset before the ON duration, and the offset_max is the maximum offset before the ON duration. Optionally, the offset_min and the offset_max are configured by the network device or reported by the terminal device.

[0350] Method 2:

Optionally, the offset_max and the first time window are configured by the network device or reported by the terminal device.

[0354] Method 4:

[0355] The protocol pre-defines the first type of LP WUS before a first time point. The first time point is determined by offset, where the offset is the offset before the ON duration, i.e., the first time point is found by pushing the offset forward from the start position of the ON duration. Optionally, the offset and the first time window are configured by the network device or reported by the terminal device.

[0356] In a second embodiment, in a network, network equipment can wake up or change the sleep state of terminals supporting LP WUS in a cell by sending LP WUS. For terminals supporting LP WUS, at least one LP WUS signal is received through 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.

[0358] The first type of LP WUS is used to trigger the ON duration timer. Further, optionally, when the first type of LP WUS indicates that the MR is awake, the terminal device needs to at least one of listen to dynamic PDCCH, activate SPS PDCCH, and release SPS PDCCH.

[0359] The second type of LP WUS is used to trigger the temporary active time. Further, optionally, during this time, the terminal device needs to at least one of listen to CSS and USS.

The first time window is determined by the offset and / or window length, and the first time point is determined by the offset.

[0363] Method 2:

The MR is used to receive legacy downlink channels, including but not limited to DG PDSCH, SPS PDSCH, PDCCH, etc.

For terminals supporting LP WUS, at least one LP WUS signal is received through 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.
