Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of communication technology, specifically relating to a method for determining frequency point information, an information transmission method, a terminal, and network-side equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Some communication systems introduce low-power related mechanisms to save power, such as at least one of Low Power Wake Up Signal (LP WUS) and Low Power Synchronization Signal (LP-SS). A terminal can receive at least one of LP WUS and LP-SS through a Low Power Wake Up Radio (LP-WUR) or a Lower Power Radio (LR). However, the terminal's LP-WUR or LR may not support all frequency points, meaning there may be frequency points unrelated to LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR. This makes it easy for the terminal to select or revert to these unrelated frequency points, preventing it from saving power based on at least one of LP WUS and LP-SS, resulting in poor power-saving performance.

[0065] Figure 1This diagram illustrates a block diagram of a wireless communication system applicable to embodiments of this application.

Network-side equipment 12 may include access network equipment or core network equipment, wherein access network equipment may also be referred to as Radio Access Network (RAN) equipment, radio access network function, or radio access network unit. Access network equipment may include base stations, Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) access points (APs), or Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) nodes, etc.The term "base station" can be referred to as Node B (NB), Evolved Node B (eNB), Next Generation Node B (gNB), New Radio Node B (NR Node B), Access Point, Relay Base Station (RBS), Serving Base Station (SBS), Base Transceiver Station (BTS), Radio Base Station, Radio Transceiver, Basic Service Set (BSS), Extended Service Set (ESS), Home Node B (HNB), Home Evolved Node B, Transmit / Receive Point (TRP), or any other suitable term in the relevant field, as long as the same technical effect is achieved. The term "base station" is not limited to any specific technical terminology. It should be noted that this application embodiment only uses a base station in an NR system as an example for description and does not limit the specific type of base station.

[0066] Core network equipment, also known as core network nodes, core network functions, or core network elements, includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: Mobility Management Entity (MME), Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), Session Management Function (SMF), User Plane Function (UPF), Policy Control Function (PCF), Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF), Edge Application Server Discovery Function (EASDF), Unified Data Management (UDM), Unified Data Repository (UDR), Home Subscriber Server (HSS), Centralized network configuration (CNC), Network Repository Function (NRF), Network Exposure Function (NEF), Local NEF (or L-NEF), and Binding Support Function.

If the name of the core network equipment mentioned in this application embodiment changes in subsequent protocol versions (e.g., 6G), it will still be within the scope of protection of this application.

[0067] Optionally, the core network equipment can be implemented by one or more functional modules in a single device, or by multiple devices working together; this application does not specifically limit this. It is understood that the aforementioned functional modules can be network elements in hardware devices, software functional modules running on dedicated hardware, or virtualized functional modules instantiated on a platform (e.g., a cloud platform).

[0068] In some embodiments, taking NR as an example, when the terminal performs the initial cell selection process, it does not know in advance which radio frequency (RF) channel is the NR carrier. The initial cell selection process is as follows:

[0069] The terminal scans all RF channels one by one (the scanning order is not limited) according to its own capabilities to find a suitable NR cell. In each scanned carrier frequency, the terminal only needs to search for the cell with the strongest signal quality. Once a suitable cell is found, the terminal selects that cell to camp on and stops the initial cell selection process, meaning that unscanned RF channels no longer need to be scanned.

[0070] Among them, the above-mentioned suitable communities must meet at least all of the following conditions:

[0071] The signal quality of the cell meets the preset conditions, and the signal quality includes: Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) and / or Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ);

[0072] The terminal can obtain the necessary system information, including at least the Master Information Block (MIB) and the System Information Block (SIB)1;

[0073] The cellbar IE setting in the system information is set to "not Barred," meaning that the cell is not prohibited from attaching or accessing.

[0074] In some embodiments, the cell reselection process is as follows:

[0075] The terminal evaluates each frequency point in turn based on the frequency point priority provided by the network, starting from the highest priority frequency point, to see if there is a suitable target cell for reselection. Only suitable cells can be used as target cells for reselection.

[0076] Different frequency points can be configured with the same or different frequency point priorities.

[0077] Specifically:

[0078] When a terminal is camped on a serving cell, if there is a higher-priority NR or Long Term Evolution (LTE) cell on a frequency point that satisfies the condition that the cell signal quality is greater than a threshold value for a certain period of time, or

[0079] If a cell on a higher-priority NR or other Radio Access Technology (RAT) frequency point satisfies a signal strength greater than a threshold value for a period of time, and the terminal has been camped on the current serving cell for more than one second, then a reselection process to a cell on a higher-priority NR or other RAT frequency point is initiated.

[0080] In some embodiments, LP WUS is a low-power wake-up signal, received via LP-WUR or LR, used to wake up the main communication module, etc. Figure 2 As shown, the terminal includes two modules. The first module is the main communication module, used for sending and receiving mobile communication data. The second module is a low-power wake-up receiving module, used for receiving low-power wake-up signals and low-power beacon signals sent by the transmitting end. The low-power wake-up signal is used to wake up the main communication module of the receiving end, and the low-power beacon signal is used to provide time reference information and other information for receiving the low-power wake-up signal, and can also provide wake-up link management. Figure 2 As shown, the first module remains in a closed state when not woken up by the second module, and does not send or receive data. When downlink data arrives, the second module detects a wake-up signal sent by the transmitter, and this wake-up signal contains information about the terminal. The second module then triggers the first module to switch from a closed state to a working state, enabling data reception and transmission. The second module can be continuously or intermittently powered on. When powered on, the second module can receive low-power wake-up signals and low-power beacon signals.

[0081] In some embodiments, the basic framework of LP-WUS is as follows: Figure 3 As shown.

[0082] The uses of preamble include, but are not limited to, at least one of the following:

[0083] LP-WUS detection, synchronization, and data rate determination.

[0084] In addition, preamble can also be used to indicate user IDs or user group IDs, etc.

[0085] A data field is used to carry the data portion.

[0086] In some embodiments, the LP-WUR can also be referred to as a low-power receiver or a near-zero power wake-up radio (AZP-WUR). The basic working principle of the LP-WUR is that the receiver includes a first module and a second module, specifically as follows... Figure 4 As shown, the first module is the main communication module, used for sending and receiving mobile communication data. The second module is a low-power receiver module (also called a low-power wake-up receiver module), used to receive the wake-up signal. In power-saving mode, the terminal activates the low-power receiver module to monitor LP-WUS and disables the main communication module. When downlink data arrives, the network sends a wake-up signal to the terminal. After detecting the wake-up signal through the low-power receiver module, the terminal triggers the main communication module to turn on after a series of checks, while the low-power receiver module transitions from the active state to the off state. The low-power wake-up receiver module can be continuously or intermittently activated, and when activated, it can receive low-power wake-up signals.

[0087] In some embodiments, to reduce the receiving activity of the terminal in standby mode and effectively shut down the RF and baseband (MODEM) modules, thereby significantly reducing the power consumption of communication reception, this can be achieved by introducing a near-zero power receiver into the terminal's receiving module. This near-zero power receiver does not require complex signal detection (such as amplification, filtering, quantization, etc.) of the RF module and signal processing of the MODEM, relying only on passive matched filtering and low-power signal processing.

[0088] On the base station side, by triggering a wake-up signal on demand, the receiver with near-zero power can be activated to receive the activation notification, thereby triggering a series of processes within the terminal, such as turning on the radio frequency transceiver and baseband processing modules.

[0089] These wake-up signals are usually simple on-off keying signals, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the receiver can thus obtain the wake-up notification through simple energy detection and subsequent possible sequence detection and identification processes.

[0090] The frequency point information determination method, information transmission method, terminal and network side equipment provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through some embodiments and application scenarios.

[0091] Please see Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a flowchart of a cell selection method provided in an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 6 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0092] Step 601: The terminal determines the first priority information of the first frequency point, wherein the first frequency point is a frequency point associated with low power consumption, or the coverage area of ​​the frequency point associated with low power consumption overlaps with the coverage area of ​​the first frequency point. The frequency point associated with low power consumption includes: a frequency point associated with at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR. The first priority information indicates that the first frequency point is preferentially selected, or the first priority information indicates that the priority of the first frequency point is the first priority.

[0093] The first priority includes the following:

[0094] The priorities are: high priority, highest priority, priority higher than the current frequency of the terminal, priority higher than the priority configured by the network-side device for the first frequency, and first priority configured by the network-side device for the first frequency.

[0095] The first frequency point mentioned above can be one or more frequency points, which are associated with at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR.

[0096] The first frequency point mentioned above can be a frequency point that the terminal can search for, measure or receive signals, etc. In this embodiment of the application, the first frequency point is not limited, for example: target frequency point or current frequency point, etc. In the case that the first frequency point is the current frequency point, the first priority does not include the priority of the terminal's current frequency point.

[0097] The frequency point associated with at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR mentioned above refers to a frequency point in which the terminal can receive at least one of LP-WUS and LP-SS in a cell at that frequency point, or it can refer to a frequency point in which the first terminal can receive low-power signals via LP-WUR or LR in a cell at that frequency point. For example, receiving at least one of LP-WUS and LP-SS in a cell at that frequency point via LP-WUR or LR, as detailed below.

[0098] The coverage areas of the aforementioned low-power associated frequency points overlap with the coverage area of ​​the first frequency point, which may be partially or completely overlapping. Because the coverage areas of the low-power associated frequency points overlap with the coverage area of ​​the first frequency point, the terminal can receive at least one of LP-WUS and LP-SS through inter-frequency operation when selecting the first frequency point, thereby improving the terminal's power-saving effect.

[0099] The aforementioned high priority can be a priority among those configured on the terminal that is higher than at least one priority. Specifically, it can be determined by the terminal's internal implementation or by a preset strategy, etc., and there are no restrictions on this.

[0100] Since the first priority mentioned above is a high priority, the terminal can more easily select or reselect a cell with the first frequency point, thereby improving the terminal's power saving effect.

[0101] The highest priority mentioned above can be higher than the priority configured on the network side device or the highest priority among the priorities configured on the network side device.

[0102] Since the first priority mentioned above is the highest priority, the terminal can select or reselect the cell at the first frequency point to improve the terminal's power saving effect.

[0103] The current frequency of the aforementioned terminal may include one of the following:

[0104] The frequency currently camped, the frequency currently receiving system information or paging messages or performing measurements or performing Random Access Channel (RACH) measurements, or the frequency currently receiving LP-WUS or currently measuring LP-SS.

[0105] Since the first priority mentioned above is higher than the priority of the terminal's current frequency, the terminal can easily select or reselect a cell with the first frequency, thereby improving the terminal's power saving effect.

[0106] The first priority configured by the network-side device for the first frequency point and the priority of the terminal's current frequency point can be configured independently. That is, the first priority configured by the network-side device for the first frequency point and the priority configured by the network-side device for the terminal's current frequency point are different. For example, the first priority configured by the network-side device for the first frequency point is 2 or 3, and the priority configured by the network-side device for the terminal's current frequency point is 3 or 4. Among them, the priority of priority 2 is higher than the priority of priority 3, and the priority of priority 3 is higher than the priority of priority 4.

[0107] Since the first priority is configured by the network-side device for the first frequency point, the network-side device can flexibly configure the priority of the first frequency point, which is beneficial for the terminal to easily select or reselect the cell of the first frequency point, thereby improving the power saving effect of the terminal.

[0108] The priority mentioned above, which is higher than the priority configured by the network-side device for the first frequency point, means that the first priority is higher than the priority configured by the network-side device for the first frequency point. In this case, the terminal can preferentially select the cell of the first frequency point. The priority configured by the network-side device for the first frequency point can be the priority of the first frequency point that is pre-configured.

[0109] In some implementations, network-side devices can configure frequency priority through broadcast messages, such as system information broadcast messages; or, network-side devices can configure frequency priority through dedicated Radio Resource Control (RRC) messages, such as RRC Release messages.

[0110] The terminal obtains the frequency point priority through a broadcast message or a dedicated RRC message. When the frequency point priority is configured through a dedicated RRC message, the priority can be applied to at least one of the following time and / or geographical ranges:

[0111] The currently serving cell may include the cell in which the terminal obtained the RRC message, or one or more cells in which the terminal camps after obtaining the RRC release message;

[0112] The preset cell range is limited by network-side configuration or protocol agreement, such as the range of RAN notification area (RNA) or tracking area (TA), or the range of a cell group;

[0113] All communities visited or stayed in within the preset time range;

[0114] A preset time range, meaning that the priority is valid within a preset time range. The preset time is configured by the network side or agreed upon by the protocol, such as within the T320 range or within the range of a newly defined timer.

[0115] In this embodiment of the application, the first priority information for the terminal to determine the first frequency point can also be referred to as the first priority information for the terminal to consider in determining the first frequency point.

[0116] In this embodiment, since the first priority information indicates that the first frequency point is preferred, or the first priority information indicates that the first frequency point has the first priority, the terminal can more easily select or reselect the cell of the first frequency point. Since the first frequency point is associated with low power consumption, or its coverage overlaps with the coverage of the frequency point associated with low power consumption, the terminal can receive at least one of LP-WUS and LP-SS in the cell of the first frequency point to save power based on at least one of LP-WUS and LP-SS, thereby improving the power saving effect of the terminal.

[0117] In some implementations, the first priority information for determining the first frequency point by the terminal may be that the first frequency point is a frequency point associated with low power consumption, or that the priority information for determining the first frequency point is the aforementioned first priority information when the coverage area of ​​the frequency point associated with low power consumption overlaps with the coverage area of ​​the first frequency point.

[0118] As an optional implementation, the frequency points associated with at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR include at least one of the following:

[0127] The frequency of the first cell includes at least one of the following:

[0128] Cells that support at least one of the following features: LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR;

[0129] Cells that support features associated with at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR;

[0130] Provide cells that meet at least one of the following criteria: LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR;

[0131] A cell that provides configurations associated with at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR;

[0132] Cells that have enabled at least one of the following features: LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR;

[0133] A cell that has enabled at least one of the associated characteristics of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR;

[0135] A cell that has configured, activated, or enabled at least one of the associated features of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR.

[0136] The above-mentioned features of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR refer to at least one of the features of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR. For example, a frequency point that supports at least one of the features of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR can transmit LP-WUS and LP-SS, and a terminal in a cell on that frequency point can receive or measure at least one of LP-WUS and LP-SS based on LP-WUR or LR.

[0137] The frequency points that support at least one of the features of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR can also refer to the frequency points that support at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR.

[0138] The features associated with at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR can also refer to features that save terminal power or low power features, such as cell measurement relaxation, no cell measurement, or cell measurement offload (i.e., offloading measurements from the main receiver to the low power receiver), wherein the measurements include serving cell measurements and / or neighboring cell, neighboring frequency, and inter-system measurements.

[0139] Providing at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR can refer to the network-side device at a frequency point or cell sending LP-WUS or LP-SS to the terminal, or the network-side device sending LP-WUR or LR receivable signals.

[0140] The configuration associated with at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR can be a configuration sent by the network-side device that is associated with at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR, such as: cell measurement relaxation configuration, no cell measurement configuration, or cell measurement transfer configuration.

[0141] As an optional implementation, the terminal is a terminal associated with at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR.

[0142] Terminals associated with at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR can also be referred to as low-power associated terminals.

[0143] Among them, the terminal associated with at least one of the above LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR has at least one of the following characteristics:

[0144] Supports at least one of the following features: LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR;

[0145] Supports at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR;

[0146] Supports features associated with at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR;

[0147] It is configured with at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR;

[0148] The configuration is associated with at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR.

[0149] At least one of the following features is enabled: LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR.

[0150] It enables at least one of the associated properties of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR;

[0151] At least one of the following features has been activated or enabled: LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR.

[0152] At least one of the associated features of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR has been activated or enabled;

[0153] Use at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR, or meet the conditions for using at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR;

[0154] It is expected that at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR will be used;

[0155] The goal is to save electricity or there is a need to save electricity.

[0156] The above support for at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR features can mean that the terminal supports at least one of the LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR features. For example, the terminal supports receiving P-WUS and LP-SS, and the terminal supports receiving signals via LP-WUR and LR.

[0157] The above support for at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR can be the terminal's capability to support at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR, that is, the terminal's capability to support at least one of the receiver types or functions or features corresponding to at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR.

[0158] The use of at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR indicates that the terminal is already or currently using at least one of the functions or features of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR.

[0159] The conditions for using at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR can be agreed upon by the protocol or by the network-side equipment, such as the battery level being below a threshold, the current service being a specific service, or the channel conditions prioritizing a preset threshold.

[0160] Since the aforementioned terminal is associated with at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR, the terminal can preferentially select or reselect a cell at the first frequency point based on the first priority information of the first frequency point, thereby saving the terminal's power consumption.

[0161] As an optional implementation, the above method further includes:

[0162] Cell selection or reselection is performed based on the first priority information of the first frequency point.

[0163] The above-mentioned cell selection or reselection based on the first priority information of the first frequency point can be performed by selecting or reselecting multiple cells based on the priority information. These multiple cells include the cells of the first frequency point mentioned above, such as selecting or reselecting based on the priority of cells of multiple frequency points.

[0164] Since cell selection or reselection is performed based on the first priority information of the first frequency point, the terminal can more easily camp on the cell of the first frequency point, thereby improving the power saving effect of the terminal.

[0165] As an optional implementation, the first priority configured by the network-side device for the first frequency point includes one of the following:

[0166] The network-side device is configured with the highest priority among at least two priorities for the first frequency point;

[0167] The network-side device configures the priority for the terminal for the first frequency point.

[0168] The network-side equipment configures two priorities for the first frequency point. The aforementioned terminal determines the first frequency point as one of the configured priorities, A, while other terminals (such as terminals that do not support LP-WUS) determine the first frequency point as the other priority, B. Priority A is higher than priority B.

[0169] In this implementation, by configuring at least two priorities for the first frequency point, different terminals can select or reselect cells based on different priorities to meet the needs of different terminals.

[0170] The priority configured by the network-side device for the first frequency point for the terminal may be that the network-side device configures multiple priorities for the first frequency point, and different priorities are applicable to different terminals.

[0171] Since the priority of the first frequency point is the priority configured by the network-side device for the terminal, this makes the priority of the first frequency point more applicable to the terminal, further improving the power saving effect of the terminal.

[0172] As an optional implementation, the terminal determines the first priority information of the first frequency point, including:

[0173] The terminal determines first priority information for a first frequency point based on target information, wherein the target information includes at least one of the following: first information, second information, and third information;

[0174] The first information is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0175] Is the first frequency point associated with low power consumption?

[0176] Frequency points associated with low power consumption;

[0177] Frequency points not associated with low power consumption;

[0178] The second information is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0179] At least one frequency point is mapped to a priority level;

[0180] The correspondence between at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR and priority, wherein the priority corresponding to at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR is the first priority;

[0181] The third information includes at least one of the following:

[0182] At least one frequency point is mapped to the information of the first terminal;

[0183] Second terminal information received at least on one frequency point;

[0184] Wherein, the at least one frequency point includes the first frequency point.

[0185] The target information mentioned above may be target information sent by the network-side device to the terminal. In some embodiments, the method further includes: the terminal receiving the target information sent by the network-side device.

[0186] Network-side devices can send the aforementioned target information via broadcast messages, dedicated RRC messages, or Non-Access Stratum (NAS) messages, and the first, second, and third information can be sent via the same or different messages.

[0187] In some implementations, all or part of the aforementioned target information may be pre-configured or agreed upon by a protocol.

[0188] Whether the first frequency point mentioned above is associated with low power consumption can indicate whether the frequency point corresponding to the first information mentioned above is associated with low power consumption.

[0189] The frequency points associated with low power consumption may include at least one frequency point associated with low power consumption.

[0190] The frequency points not associated with low power consumption may include all or some frequency points not associated with low power consumption. This indication can implicitly determine whether the first frequency point is associated with low power consumption.

[0191] In the above embodiments, the first information can be used to determine whether the first frequency point is associated with low power consumption, thereby determining the corresponding priority information.

[0192] The mapping relationship between the above-mentioned at least one frequency point and priority can include the priority corresponding to each of these at least one frequency point. Based on this mapping relationship, the priority of each frequency point can be determined simply and directly to reduce the complexity of the terminal.

[0193] The correspondence between at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR and priority can indicate that the priority corresponding to at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR is the first priority mentioned above. Thus, the terminal can preferentially select or reselect the corresponding cell to save power based on at least one of LP-WUS and LP-SS.

[0194] In some implementations, the second information indicates the correspondence between at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR and a priority, and when the first frequency point is a frequency point associated with low power consumption, the priority of the first frequency point is the first priority.

[0195] In this embodiment, the priority of the first frequency point can be determined as the first priority based on the correspondence between at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR indicated by the second information and the priority. This allows for the priority selection or reselection of the cell of the first frequency point, thereby improving the power saving effect of the terminal.

[0196] The mapping relationship between the above-mentioned at least one frequency point and the first terminal information can refer to the first terminal information corresponding to each of these at least one frequency point, that is, the terminal corresponding to each frequency point.

[0197] In some implementations, the aforementioned first terminal information is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0198] The terminal associated with at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR, the terminal type (also known as the terminal category), the terminal power saving level, the terminal status, the frequency band information corresponding to the terminal, and the terminal subscription type.

[0199] The aforementioned terminal types may include at least one of the following:

[0200] Low-capability terminals (RedCap), ordinary-capability terminals (smartphones), Internet of Things (IoT) terminals, wearable terminals, etc.

[0201] The aforementioned terminal types may include at least one of the following:

[0202] Whether there are terminals that require energy saving, or whether they are terminals that are sensitive to power consumption, or whether they are active, passive, or passive energy terminals, or whether they are terminals that use clean / green energy, etc.

[0203] The aforementioned terminal status may include:

[0204] Whether power saving is needed, whether the battery is currently at high / medium / low level, and whether it is in power saving mode, etc.

[0205] The frequency band information corresponding to the aforementioned terminal can be the frequency band in which the terminal is located, or the frequency band it supports, such as whether it is in or supports: 700 / 800 / 900MHz or 2.6GHz or 3.5GHz or sub-6GHz, or 5GHz, or 6GHz, or other frequency bands supported by 5G / 6G / 7G systems.

[0206] The first terminal information corresponding to different frequency points can be different. For example, frequency point A corresponds to terminal type a and terminal type b.

[0207] By mapping at least one frequency point to the information of the first terminal, different terminals can preferentially select the corresponding frequency point to improve the terminal's power saving or communication performance.

[0208] In some implementations, the aforementioned second terminal information is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0209] Whether it corresponds to at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, LR associated terminal, terminal type, terminal power saving level, terminal status, terminal corresponding frequency band information, terminal subscription type.

[0210] The aforementioned second terminal information can indicate the terminal information corresponding to each of the at least one frequency point.

[0211] In some implementations, the terminal determines the first priority information for the first frequency point based on the target information, including at least one of the following:

[0212] When the first frequency point is a frequency point associated with low power consumption, the terminal determines the first priority information of the first frequency point according to the correspondence between at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR and priority.

[0213] When the mapping relationship between the at least one frequency point and the first terminal information indicates that the first terminal information corresponding to the first frequency point matches the terminal, the first priority information of the first frequency point is determined.

[0214] If the second terminal information received at the first frequency point matches the terminal, the first priority information of the first frequency point is determined.

[0215] The first priority information for determining the first frequency point based on the correspondence between at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR and the priority can be determined by setting the priority of the first frequency point to the priority corresponding to at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR, i.e., determining it as the first priority, thereby preferentially selecting or reselecting the first frequency point to improve the power saving effect of the terminal.

[0216] The matching of the first terminal information corresponding to the first frequency point with the terminal can be that the first terminal information corresponding to the first frequency point is the information of the aforementioned terminal or is matched with the information of the aforementioned terminal, thereby determining the priority information of the aforementioned first frequency point to prioritize or reselect to the first frequency point, so as to improve the power saving effect of the terminal.

[0217] In some implementations, if the first terminal information corresponding to the first frequency point does not match the terminal, the process ends, that is, step 601 is not executed, or the priority information of the first frequency point is determined to be second priority information, wherein the priority of the second priority information is lower than the first priority mentioned above.

[0218] The matching of the second terminal information received at the first frequency point with the terminal can be that the second terminal information received by the terminal at the first frequency point is the information of the terminal or matches the information of the terminal, thereby determining the first priority information of the first frequency point to prioritize or reselect to the first frequency point, so as to improve the power saving effect of the terminal.

[0219] In some implementations, if the second terminal information received at the first frequency point does not match the terminal, the process ends, i.e., step 601 is not executed, or the priority information of the first frequency point is determined to be second priority information, wherein the priority of the second priority information is lower than the first priority mentioned above.

[0220] In some implementations, matching the first terminal information corresponding to the first frequency point with the terminal includes:

[0221] The first terminal information corresponding to the first frequency point matches the index of the terminal;

[0222] And / or,

[0223] The matching of the second terminal information with the terminal includes:

[0224] The second terminal information received at the first frequency point matches the index of the terminal;

[0225] The index corresponds to at least one of the following:

[0226] Terminal type, terminal power saving level, terminal status, frequency band information corresponding to the terminal, terminal subscription type, and whether it is a terminal associated with at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR.

[0227] The index matching between the second terminal information and the terminal mentioned above refers to the index matching between the second terminal information received at the first frequency point and the terminal.

[0228] The index mentioned above may include at least one of the following:

[0229] Terminal type index, terminal power saving level index, terminal status index, terminal corresponding frequency band information index, terminal subscription type index, and an index indicating whether the terminal is associated with at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR.

[0230] The aforementioned index may be configured by the network-side device, determined through negotiation between the terminal and the network-side device, or determined by the terminal based on its subscription information.

[0231] In this implementation, the overhead of matching can be saved by using an index for matching and determination.

[0232] In some implementations, matching and judgment can also be performed using information other than the index, such as terminal identifier, terminal battery information, etc.

[0233] As an optional implementation, the terminal determines the first priority information of the first frequency point, including:

[0234] The terminal receives a priority configuration sent by the network-side device, the priority configuration including the first priority of the first frequency point.

[0235] In this implementation, the priority of the first frequency point can be directly configured by the network-side device, thereby reducing the complexity of the terminal.

[0236] As an optional implementation, the method further includes:

[0237] The second priority information for the second frequency point is determined. The second frequency point is not a frequency point associated with low power consumption, or the coverage area of ​​the low power consumption frequency point does not overlap with the coverage area of ​​the second frequency point. The second priority information indicates that the second frequency point is not preferred, or the second priority information indicates that the priority of the second frequency point is the second priority, which is lower than the first priority or the priority of the current frequency point of the terminal.

[0238] The statement that the second frequency point is not associated with low power consumption can be understood as the second frequency point being different from the first frequency point, specifically a frequency point other than the low power associated frequency point.

[0239] The above statement that the second frequency point is not preferred can be understood as prioritizing the first frequency point when it exists.

[0240] In this embodiment, since the second frequency point is not selected preferentially, or the second priority is lower than the first priority or the priority of the current frequency point of the terminal, the terminal can preferentially select the first frequency point instead of the second frequency point when performing cell selection or reselection, so as to realize the terminal saves power based on the first frequency point.

[0241] In some implementations, the second priority includes the following:

[0242] The priorities are: low priority, lowest priority, priority lower than the current frequency of the terminal, priority lower than the priority configured by the network side device for the second frequency, and second priority configured by the network side device for the second frequency.

[0243] The aforementioned low priority can be a priority among those configured on the terminal that is lower than at least one priority. Specifically, it can be determined by the terminal's internal implementation or by a preset strategy, etc., and there is no limitation on this.

[0244] The aforementioned lowest priority can be lower than the priority configured on the network side device or the lowest priority among the priorities configured on the network side device.

[0245] By using the aforementioned low priority, lowest priority, priority lower than the current frequency point of the terminal, priority lower than the priority configured by the network side device for the second frequency point, and second priority configured by the network side device for the second frequency point, the terminal can avoid selecting the second frequency point as much as possible and instead select the first frequency point, thereby improving the terminal's power saving effect.

[0246] In some implementations, the terminal obtains the priority configured for the second frequency point by the network-side device via a broadcast message or a dedicated RRC message. When the priority of the second frequency point is configured via a dedicated RRC message, the priority can be applied to at least one of the following time and / or geographical ranges:

[0247] The currently serving cell may include the cell in which the terminal obtained the RRC message, or one or more cells in which the terminal camps after obtaining the RRC release message;

[0248] The preset cell range is limited by network-side configuration or protocol agreement, such as the RNA or TA range, or the range of a cell group;

[0249] All communities visited or stayed in within the preset time range;

[0250] A preset time range, meaning that the priority is valid within a preset time range. The preset time is configured by the network side or agreed upon by the protocol, such as within the T320 range or within the range of a newly defined timer.

[0251] In some implementations, the second priority configured by the network-side device for the second frequency point includes one of the following:

[0252] The network-side device is configured with the lowest priority among at least two priorities for the second frequency point;

[0253] The network-side device configures the priority for the terminal for the second frequency point.

[0254] For example, the network-side device configures two priorities for the second frequency point. The aforementioned terminal determines the second frequency point as one of the configured priorities, C, while other terminals (such as terminals that do not support LP-WUS) determine the first frequency point as the other priority, D, with priority D being higher than priority C.

[0255] In this implementation, by configuring at least two priorities for the second frequency point, different terminals can select or reselect cells based on different priorities to meet the needs of different terminals.

[0256] The priority configured by the network-side device for the second frequency point for the terminal may be that the network-side device configures multiple priorities for the second frequency point, and different priorities are applicable to different terminals to meet the needs of different terminals.

[0257] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0258] If the terminal is associated with at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR, the terminal will determine the second frequency point as a barred frequency point.

[0259] In this embodiment, by determining the second frequency point as the frequency point to be denied access, the terminal can avoid selecting or reselecting a frequency point that is not associated with low power consumption, thereby improving the power saving effect of the terminal.

[0260] In some implementations, if the terminal is not associated with at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR, the terminal determines the second frequency point as the allowed frequency point for access.

[0261] As an optional implementation, the method further includes:

[0262] The terminal acquires indication information, which indicates a method for determining whether the terminal uses frequency point priority information. The method for determining at least one of the following:

[0263] The priority information of the first frequency point is the first priority information;

[0264] The priority information for the second frequency point is the second priority information;

[0265] Wherein, the second frequency point is not a frequency point associated with low power consumption, or the coverage area of ​​the low power consumption frequency point does not overlap with the coverage area of ​​the second frequency point, the second priority information indicates that the second frequency point is not preferentially selected, or the second priority information indicates that the priority of the second frequency point is the second priority, and the second priority is lower than the first priority or the priority of the current frequency point of the terminal.

[0266] The determination method described above can be the determination method in step 601, or the method for determining the priority of the second frequency point as described in the above embodiments.

[0267] The aforementioned indication information may be indication information sent by the terminal to the network-side device, and may be indication information sent via broadcast message, dedicated RRC message, or NAS message.

[0268] The aforementioned indication information may be a method of determining whether the terminal uses frequency point priority information, either explicitly or implicitly. For example, if the aforementioned indication information includes the aforementioned first information, then the aforementioned determination method is used.

[0269] If the above determination method is indicated, then step 601 is performed, or the priority of the second frequency point is determined by the method for determining the priority of the second frequency point described in the above embodiment.

[0270] If the above-mentioned determination method is not used, other methods agreed upon in the agreement may be used to determine the priority of the first frequency point or the second frequency point, without limitation.

[0271] Since the indication information indicates the method for determining whether the terminal uses frequency point priority information, the terminal can determine the priority information of the first frequency point and the second frequency point based on the indication information. This makes the terminal and the network-side device understand the priority information of the first frequency point and the second frequency point in a consistent manner, which is beneficial to improving the communication performance between the terminal and the network-side device.

[0272] In some implementations, the above-mentioned indication information may also indicate the method for determining the priority information of the first frequency point and the second frequency point, for example, indicating the following method:

[0273] The terminal determines the first priority information of the first frequency point based on the target information;

[0274] The terminal receives priority configurations sent by the network-side device.

[0275] In this embodiment, since the first priority information indicates that the first frequency point is preferred, or the first priority information indicates that the first frequency point has the first priority, the terminal can more easily select or reselect the cell of the first frequency point. Since the first frequency point is associated with low power consumption, or its coverage overlaps with the coverage of the frequency point associated with low power consumption, the terminal can receive at least one of LP-WUS and LP-SS in the cell of the first frequency point to save power based on at least one of LP-WUS and LP-SS, thereby improving the power saving effect of the terminal.

[0276] Please see Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a flowchart of an information sending method provided in an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 7 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0277] Step 701: The network-side device sends target information to the terminal, the target information including at least one of the following: first information, second information, and third information;

[0278] The first information is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0279] Is the first frequency point related to low power consumption?

[0285] The third information includes at least one of the following:

[0286] At least one frequency point is mapped to the information of the first terminal;

This priority is configured independently of the priority of the frequency point where the current serving cell is located. This configuration is carried through the following message:

[0338] Broadcast messages, such as system information; or

[0339] Specialized RRC messages, such as the RRC Release message.

[0344] A preset time range, meaning that the priority is valid within a preset time range. The preset time is configured by the network side or agreed upon by the protocol, such as within the T320 range or within the range of a newly defined timer.

[0345] In some implementations, the priority configured by the network-side device for the first frequency point may include the following:

[0346] The network-side device configures a priority for the first frequency point. The terminal considers the first frequency point as having the configured priority; or,

[0347] The network-side equipment configures two priorities for the first frequency point. Terminals consider the first frequency point as one of the configured priorities, A.

[0382] The current frequency point refers to the frequency point where the serving cell is located.

[0383] The first information can be carried through the following message:

[0384] Broadcast messages, such as system information; or

[0385] Specialized RRC messages, such as the RRC Release message.

[0386] In some implementations, the terminal determines the priority of the first frequency point (such as the current frequency point or the target frequency point) based on the first information by determining (e.g., considering) the first frequency point as having high priority if the first frequency point meets a first condition. The determination of the first frequency point as having high priority by the terminal may include at least one of the following:

[0387] The terminal determines (if considered) the first frequency point as high priority, where the specific priority level depends on the user implementation decision;

[0403] The terminal receives network-side indication information, which indicates whether the terminal can use the scheme in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2 above, such as enable / disable or activate / deactivate the scheme in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2 above.

[0404] The above-mentioned instruction information is sent to the UE in an explicit and / or implicit manner.

[0405] In the explicit mode, the terminal obtains indication information through broadcast messages (such as system information) or dedicated signaling, such as through RRC reconfiguration, RRC configuration, RRC release, or RRC suspend messages.

[0406] In the implicit method, the terminal implicitly obtains indication information through the configuration in the above mechanism to indicate whether the terminal can use the scheme in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2. For example:

[0407] If the network-side device in Embodiment 1 is received with a priority configured for the first frequency point, it implicitly indicates that the terminal can use the scheme in Embodiment 1.

[0408] If the first message in Embodiment 2 is received, it implicitly indicates that the terminal can use the scheme in Embodiment 2.

[0409] It should be noted that the derivation or adjustment scheme for enabling or disabling network-side devices provided in this embodiment can be applied to all embodiments.

[0410] Example 3:

[0411] The terminal receives second information sent by network-side devices, including wireless access network devices or core network nodes.

[0414] The mapping of at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR to priority, i.e., the correspondence between at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR and priority.

[0415] The terminal determines the priority corresponding to the first frequency point (current frequency point or target frequency point) based on the second information, specifically including at least one of the following:

[0416] The terminal determines the priority corresponding to the first frequency point based on the mapping relationship between frequency points and priorities. Since frequency points and priorities correspond, it is only necessary to determine which frequency point the first frequency point is to determine the corresponding priority.

[0417] The terminal determines the priority corresponding to the first frequency point based on the mapping between at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR and the priority. Since at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR corresponds to the priority, it is necessary to determine the frequency points that support, configure, activate, or enable at least one of LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR, and LR in order to determine the corresponding priority.

[0418] In some implementations, the corresponding priority is determined based on the first information in Embodiment 1 sent by the network-side device.

[0419] The current frequency point includes the frequency point where the serving cell is located.

[0420] The second piece of information mentioned above is carried through the following message:

[0421] Broadcast messages, such as system information, are transmitted via wireless access network devices on the network side.

[0422] Dedicated RRC messages, such as RRC Release messages, are used by wireless access network devices on the network side.
