Abstract

Description

A channel or signal transmission method, device and storage medium Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of mobile communication technology, and specifically to a method, device, and storage medium for transmitting a channel or signal. Background Art

[0002] In the New Radio (NR) system, the initial access process of the terminal device can be completed by detecting the synchronization signal block (SSB or SS / PBCH block) on the synchronization grid (Sync Raster). SSB is transmitted through the discovery signal transmission opportunity window (Discovery Burst Transmission Window) or the SSB transmission opportunity window. The master information block (MIB) information in the SSB configures the Type0-PDCCH CSS set. The physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmitted in the Type0-PDCCH CSS set is used to schedule the PDSCH carrying the system information block (SIB) 1. SIB1 carries the public configuration information of the serving cell. Other system messages except SIB1 are scheduled by the PDCCH transmitted in the Type0A-PDCCH CSS set. The terminal device can obtain the resource configuration of the PRACH transmission opportunity (RO) in the random access process based on SIB1, and then initiate random access to the network device through the configured RO resources. A terminal device in an idle state (idle) or inactive state (inactive) can determine whether there is data transmission by monitoring paging messages.

[0003] The common channels or signals mentioned above—namely, SSBs, SIB1, other system messages other than SIB1, paging messages, common PDCCHs, and uplink Ro resources—are transmitted periodically. The length of this period is configured by network devices through system messages. From the perspective of network devices, once configured, common channel or signal resources are periodically occupied regardless of demand. When service traffic in the system fluctuates, the network cannot quickly reduce common channel or signal resource allocation, resulting in poor network energy savings.

[0044] The following will describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0045] Communication system scenarios include terrestrial networks (TN) and non-terrestrial networks (NTN). NTN generally uses satellite communications to provide communication services to terrestrial users. NTN systems currently include NR-NTN and IoT-NTN systems, and may include other NTN systems in the future.

[0046] FIG1 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of an embodiment of the present application.

[0047] As shown in Figure 1, a communication system 100 may include a terminal device 110 (or also referred to as a communication terminal device) and a network device 120. The network device 120 may communicate with the terminal device 110 via an air interface. The terminal device 110 and the network device 120 support multi-service transmission.

[0048] It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application are only illustrative of the communication system 100, but the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. That is, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application can be applied to various communication systems, such as: Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, LTE Time Division Duplex (TDD), Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), Internet of Things (IoT) system, Narrow Band Internet of Things (NB-IoT) system, enhanced Machine-Type Communications (eMTC) system, 5G communication system (also known as New Radio (NR) communication system), or future communication systems.

[0049] In the communication system 100 shown in Figure 1, the network device 120 may be an access network device that communicates with the terminal device 110. The access network device may provide communication coverage for a specific geographical area and may communicate with the terminal device 110 (eg, UE) located within the coverage area.

[0050] The network device 120 may be an evolved Node B (eNB or eNodeB) in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, or a Next Generation Radio Access Network (NG RAN) device, or a base station (gNB) in an NR system, or a wireless controller in a Cloud Radio Access Network (CRAN), or the network device 120 may be a relay station, an access point, an in-vehicle device, a wearable device, a hub, a switch, a bridge, a router, or a network device in a future evolved Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), etc.

[0051] The terminal device 110 may be any terminal device, including but not limited to a terminal device connected to the network device 120 or other terminal devices by wire or wireless connection.

[0052] For example, the terminal device 110 may refer to an access terminal, user equipment (UE), a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a mobile station, a remote station, a remote terminal, a mobile device, a user terminal, a terminal, a wireless communication device, a user agent, or a user apparatus. An access terminal may be a cellular phone, a cordless phone, a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) phone, an IoT device, a satellite handheld terminal, a Wireless Local Loop (WLL) station, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a handheld device with wireless communication capabilities, a computing device or other processing device connected to a wireless modem, an in-vehicle device, a wearable device, a terminal device in a 5G network, or a terminal device in a future evolution network, etc.

[0053] The terminal device 110 can be used for device-to-device (D2D) communication.

[0054] The wireless communication system 100 may further include a core network device 130 for communicating with the base station. The core network device 130 may be a 5G core network (5G Core, 5GC) device, such as an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), an Authentication Server Function (AUSF), a User Plane Function (UPF), or a Session Management Function (SMF). Optionally, the core network device 130 may also be an Evolved Packet Core (EPC) device of an LTE network, such as a Session Management Function + Core Packet Gateway (SMF+PGW-C) device. It should be understood that SMF+PGW-C can simultaneously implement the functions that can be implemented by SMF and PGW-C. During the network evolution process, the above-mentioned core network device may also be called other names, or a new network entity may be formed by dividing the functions of the core network, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0055] The functional units in the communication system 100 may also establish connections and implement communication via next generation (NG) network interfaces.

[0056] For example, the terminal device establishes an air interface connection with the access network device through the Uu interface for transmitting user plane data and control plane signaling; the terminal device can establish a control plane signaling connection with the AMF through the NG interface 1 (referred to as N1); the access network device, such as the next generation wireless access base station (gNB), can establish a user plane data connection with the UPF through the NG interface 3 (referred to as N3); the access network device can establish a control plane signaling connection with the AMF through the NG interface 2 (referred to as N2); the UPF can establish a control plane signaling connection with the SMF through the NG interface 4 (referred to as N4); the UPF can exchange user plane data with the data network through the NG interface 6 (referred to as N6); the AMF can establish a control plane signaling connection with the SMF through the NG interface 11 (referred to as N11); the SMF can establish a control plane signaling connection with the PCF through the NG interface 7 (referred to as N7).

[0057] Figure 1 exemplarily shows a base station, a core network device and two terminal devices. Optionally, the wireless communication system 100 may include multiple base station devices and each base station may include other numbers of terminal devices within its coverage area, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0058] 3GPP is researching NTN technology, which generally uses satellite communications to provide communications services to terrestrial users. Compared to terrestrial cellular networks, satellite communications offer many unique advantages. First, satellite communications are not restricted by user location. For example, conventional terrestrial communications cannot cover areas such as oceans, high mountains, and deserts where communications equipment cannot be deployed or where there is a sparse population. However, satellite communications, because a single satellite can cover a large area and orbits the Earth, theoretically every corner of the globe can be covered. Second, satellite communications have significant social value. Satellite communications can provide low-cost coverage in remote mountainous areas and poor, underdeveloped countries and regions, enabling people in these areas to enjoy advanced voice communications and mobile internet technologies, helping to narrow the digital divide with developed regions and promoting their development. Third, satellite communications offer long range, and the cost of communications does not increase significantly with increasing distance. Finally, satellite communications are highly stable and unaffected by natural disasters.

[0059] NTN technology can be combined with various communication systems. For example, NTN technology can be combined with the NR system to form an NR-NTN system. Another example is that NTN technology can be combined with the Internet of Things (IoT) system to form an IoT-NTN system. IoT-NTN systems can include NB-IoT-NTN systems and eMTC-NTN systems.

[0060] FIG2 is a schematic diagram of the architecture of another communication system provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0061] As shown in Figure 2, a terminal device 201 and a satellite 202 are included, and wireless communication can be performed between the terminal device 201 and the satellite 202. The network formed between the terminal device 201 and the satellite 202 can also be referred to as an NTN. In the architecture of the communication system shown in Figure 2, the satellite 202 can have the function of a base station, and the terminal device 201 and the satellite 202 can communicate directly. In the system architecture, the satellite 202 can be referred to as a network device. In some embodiments of the present application, the communication system can include multiple network devices 1102, and each network device 1102 can include a different number of terminal devices within its coverage area, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0062] FIG3 is a schematic diagram of the architecture of another communication system provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0063] As shown in Figure 3, it includes a terminal device 201, a satellite 202 and a base station 203. Wireless communication can be carried out between the terminal device 201 and the satellite 202, and communication can be carried out between the satellite 202 and the base station 203. The network formed between the terminal device 201, the satellite 202 and the base station 203 can also be referred to as an NTN. In the architecture of the communication system shown in Figure 3, the satellite 202 may not have the function of a base station, and the communication between the terminal device 201 and the base station 203 needs to be transferred through the satellite 202. In this system architecture, the base station 203 can be referred to as a network device. In some embodiments of the present application, the communication system may include multiple base stations 203, and each base station 203 may include other numbers of terminal devices within its coverage area, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. The base station 203 can be the network device 120 in Figure 1.

[0064] It should be understood that the satellites 202 include but are not limited to:

[0065] Satellites in Low-Earth Orbit (LEO), Medium-Earth Orbit (MEO), Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO), and High Elliptical Orbit (HEO) orbits, among others, can use multiple beams to provide ground coverage. For example, a single satellite can form dozens or even hundreds of beams to cover the ground. In other words, a single satellite beam can cover a ground area tens to hundreds of kilometers in diameter, ensuring satellite coverage and increasing the capacity of the entire satellite communications system.

[0066] In future evolving communication systems such as B5G or 6G, distributed multiple-input multiple-output (Distributed MIMO, also known as distributed antenna system) scenarios and / or massive multiple-input multiple-output (Massive MIMO, also known as massive antenna matrix system) scenarios may also be included. In some cases, Distributed MIMO and / or Massive MIMO may also support cell-free or UE-centric network deployment scenarios. It should be understood that the above scenarios are also applicable to TN and / or NTN.

[0067] It should be noted that Figures 1 to 3 illustrate the systems to which this application applies only by way of example. The methods described in the embodiments of this application are also applicable to other systems. Furthermore, the terms "system" and "network" are often used interchangeably herein. The term "and / or" herein simply describes an association relationship between associated objects, indicating that three possible relationships exist. For example, "A and / or B" can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, or B exists alone. Furthermore, the character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects are in an "or" relationship. It should also be understood that the term "indication" in the embodiments of this application can be direct, indirect, or indicate an associated relationship. For example, "A indicates B" can mean that A directly indicates B, for example, B can obtain information through A; it can also mean that A indirectly indicates B, for example, A indicates C, and B can obtain information through C; or it can mean that A and B have an associated relationship. It should also be understood that the term "corresponding" in the embodiments of this application can mean that two objects have a direct or indirect correspondence relationship, an associated relationship, or a relationship between an indicator and the indicated, a configuration and the configured, and so on. It should also be understood that the “predefined” or “predefined rules” mentioned in the embodiments of the present application can be implemented by pre-saving corresponding codes, tables or other methods that can be used to indicate relevant information in a device (for example, including a terminal device and a network device), and the present application does not limit its specific implementation method. For example, predefined can refer to a definition in a protocol. It should also be understood that in the embodiments of the present application, the “protocol” can refer to a standard protocol in the field of communications, such as an LTE protocol, an NR protocol, and related protocols used in future communication systems, and the present application does not limit this.

[0068] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the relevant technologies of the embodiments of the present application are described below. The following relevant technologies can be arbitrarily combined with the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application as optional solutions, and they all fall within the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application.

[0069] Network energy conservation is crucial for environmental sustainability, reducing environmental impact (e.g., greenhouse gas emissions), and saving operating costs. As 5G becomes increasingly widespread across various industries and geographic regions, it will need to support very high data rates to handle more advanced services and applications (such as XR). Network deployments will become denser, using more antennas, greater bandwidth, and more frequency bands. Given the environmental impact of 5G, new, controlled solutions are needed to enhance network energy conservation.

[0070] Energy consumption has become a critical component of operators' operational expenditures (OPEX). The majority of energy consumption comes from the radio access network, more specifically, the active antenna unit (AAU), with data centers and fiber optic transmission contributing to a smaller share. The power consumption of a radio access can be divided into two components: the dynamic component, which only includes power consumption when data is being transmitted or received; and the static component, which includes power consumption required to maintain the necessary operations of the radio access equipment at all times, including when no data is being transmitted or received.

[0071] Therefore, based on the above objectives, it is necessary to research and develop network energy consumption models, KPIs, and evaluation methods on the network device side to identify and study network energy-saving technologies in the target deployment scenario. The already defined power consumption model on the terminal device side can be used as a reference. This research should focus on how to achieve more efficient dynamic and / or semi-static operations, and consider one or more network energy-saving technologies applied in the time, frequency, spatial, and power domains. This should be combined with potential terminal device feedback support, potential terminal device auxiliary information, and information exchange or coordination between network interfaces to achieve more fine-grained data transmission and / or reception adaptation.

[0072] It is worth noting that this study not only evaluates potential network energy savings but also assesses and balances the impact on network and user performance by observing key performance indicators (KPIs) such as spectrum efficiency, capacity, user perceived throughput (UPT), latency, UE power consumption, complexity, handover performance, call drop rate, initial access performance, and SLA security-related KPIs. This study should avoid significantly impacting these KPIs.

[0073] In the NR system, the initial access process of the terminal device can be completed by detecting the synchronization signal block (Synchronization Signal / PBCH Block, SSB or SS / PBCH block) on the synchronization grid (Sync Raster). SSB is transmitted through the discovery signal transmission opportunity window (Discovery Burst Transmission Window) or the SSB transmission opportunity window. The master message block (MIB) information in the SSB configures the type 0 physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) common search space (CSS) (Type0-PDCCH CSS) set. The PDCCH transmitted in the Type0-PDCCH CSS set is used to schedule the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) carrying the system information block (SIB) 1. SIB1 carries the public configuration information of the serving cell. Other system messages except SIB1 are scheduled by the PDCCH transmitted in the Type0A-PDCCH CSS set. The terminal device can obtain the resource configuration of the physical random access channel (PRACH) transmission opportunity (RO) during the random access process based on SIB1, and then initiate random access to the network device using the configured RO resources. Terminal devices in idle state (idle) or inactive state can determine whether there is a paging message by monitoring the PDCCH transmitted in the Type2-PDCCH CSS or Type2A-PDCCH CSS set.

[0074] The common channels or signals in the above process, namely SSB, SIB1, other system messages except SIB1, paging messages, common PDCCH, uplink RO resources, etc. are all transmitted periodically. The length of the period is configured by the network equipment through high-level parameters. From the perspective of the network equipment, once configured, regardless of whether there is a demand, the resources of the common channels or signals will be occupied periodically. For example, the downlink common channels or signals will be transmitted, and the resources of the uplink common channels or signals will be reserved. If the configuration of the above common channels or signals, such as the update period, time domain resource location, etc., is to be updated, it can only be done through system message updates. For scenarios where the business traffic in the cell fluctuates greatly, the use of system message changes cannot quickly adapt to business changes. When the business traffic in the system becomes smaller, the network cannot quickly reduce the resource configuration of the common channels or signals, and thus cannot obtain good network energy saving gains.

[0075] In the case where the configuration of common channels or signals, such as update period, time domain resource position, etc., can only be completed through system message updates, if you want to quickly adapt the resource configuration of common channels or signals to the service traffic in the system, one method is to dynamically adjust the period and time domain position of the network device for transmitting common channels or signals, so that the network device can better obtain network energy saving gains when the resources used to transmit common channels or signals are adapted to the service traffic in the system. However, this dynamic adjustment of system message configuration will inevitably affect traditional terminal devices (legacy UE) and terminal devices in idle state / inactive state / connected state. Therefore, how to enable traditional terminal devices and terminal devices in idle state / inactive state / connected state to obtain information on the dynamic configuration / update of network device system messages is a problem to be solved. It is understandable that the traditional terminal device here refers to a device that does not support the channel / signal transmission method provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0076] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions of the present application are described in detail below through specific embodiments. The above related technologies can be combined arbitrarily with the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application as optional solutions, and all of them fall within the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present application. The embodiments of the present application include at least part of the following contents.

[0077] The channel or signal transmission method provided in an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG4 , is applied to a terminal device and includes:

[0078] S401. The terminal device obtains one or more configuration information, where the one or more configuration information includes first resource configuration information, and the first resource configuration information is used to configure resources for transmitting a common channel or signal on a first cell.

[0079] S402. The terminal device receives first indication information, where the first indication information is used to determine resources used to transmit the common channel or signal on the first cell.

[0080] The channel or signal transmission method provided in the embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG5 , is applied to a network device and includes:

[0081] S501. A network device sends one or more configuration information to a terminal device, where the one or more configuration information includes first resource configuration information, where the first resource configuration information is used to configure resources for transmitting a common channel or signal on a first cell.

[0082] S502. The network device sends first indication information to the terminal device, where the first indication information is used to determine resources used to transmit the common channel or signal on the first cell.

[0083] In an embodiment of the present application, a network device sends one or more configuration information to a terminal device. The one or more configuration information includes: one or more resource configuration information, and the one or more resource configuration information includes first resource configuration information. If the one or more configuration information includes one resource configuration information, the resource configuration information is the first resource configuration information; if the one or more configuration information includes multiple resource configuration information, the first resource configuration information is one resource configuration information among the multiple resource configuration information. The network device configures resources for transmitting common channels or signals to the terminal device through the resource configuration information. The resources may be common resources in the first cell.

[0084] The first resource configuration information is used to configure resources for transmitting common channels or signals on the first cell. The resources configured by the first resource configuration information are used to transmit common channels or signals on the first cell, that is, the configured resources are used for terminal devices accessing the first cell to transmit common channels or signals.

[0085] Optionally, the network device sends the one or more configuration information to the terminal device via a system message, wherein the system message includes at least one of the following: an MIB message, a SIB1 message, or other system messages except SIB1.

[0086] Optionally, if the one or more resource configuration information only includes the first resource configuration information, the first resource configuration information is sent by the network device to the terminal device through an MIB message and / or an SIB1 message.

[0087] For ease of description below, the resources for transmitting a common channel or channels in a cell configured by resource configuration information are referred to as the common resources in that cell. For example, the resources for transmitting a common channel or channels in a first cell configured by first resource configuration information are referred to as the first common resources in the first cell. Optionally, the resource configuration information may configure the common resources for transmitting a common channel or channels in a cell, or may configure the common resources for not transmitting a common channel or channels in a cell. For example, the first resource configuration information may configure the first common resources for the first cell, or the first resource configuration information may configure the first common resources for the first cell.

[0088] The network device also sends first indication information to the terminal device, and the terminal device determines the resources used to transmit the common channel or signal on the first cell based on the first indication information.

[0089] For the convenience of description below, the resources used for transmitting the common channel or signal in the first cell are referred to as target common resources in the first cell.

[0090] After the terminal device determines the target public resource on the first cell based on the first indication information, it transmits a public signal or channel on the first cell based on the target public resource.

[0091] Optionally, the terminal device determines the target public resource on the first cell based on the first resource configuration information and the first indication information.

[0092] Optionally, the first indication information is used to determine whether the first resource configuration information or the first resource configuration information is valid. The terminal device determines whether the first public resource on the first cell configured by the first resource configuration information is a target public resource on the first cell.

[0093] In one example, when the first resource configuration information configures the first public resource on the first cell and the first indication information indicates that the first resource configuration information or the first resource configuration information is valid, the terminal device determines the first public resource on the first cell as the target public resource on the first cell based on the first indication information.

[0094] In one example, when the first resource configuration information configures the first public resource on the first cell and the first indication information indicates that the first resource configuration information is invalid, the terminal device determines that there is no target public resource on the first cell.

[0095] In one example, when the first resource configuration information configures that there is no public resource on the first cell and the first indication information indicates the first resource configuration information, the terminal device determines that there is no target public resource on the first cell.

[0096] In one example, when the first resource configuration information configures the first public resource on the first cell and the first indication information indicates that the first cell is closed, that is, indicates that there are no resources for transmitting public channels or signals on the first cell, the terminal device determines that there are no target public resources on the first cell.

[0097] It can be understood that the first indication information is associated with the first cell, and the terminal device sends the first indication information to all terminal devices accessing the first cell to instruct the terminal devices accessing the first cell to determine the target public resources to transmit public channels or signals based on the determined target public resources.

[0098] In the channel or signal transmission method provided in the embodiment of the present application, when the terminal device is configured with first resource configuration information for configuring resources for transmitting common channels or signals on the first cell, the network device instructs the terminal device based on the first indication information to determine the resources used for transmitting the common channel or signal according to the resources configured by the first resource configuration information, so that the network device flexibly indicates the resources used for transmitting the common channel or signal, so that the resources used for transmitting the common channel or signal and the service traffic in the system are adapted to achieve the purpose of network energy saving.

[0099] In some embodiments, the one or more configuration information may include resource configuration information in the following manner:

[0100] Mode A1: The one or more configuration information includes N resource configuration information, where N is a positive integer; or

[0101] Method B1: The one or more configuration information include M resource configuration information groups, the M resource configuration information groups are associated with M cells, and each of the M resource configuration information groups is used to configure resources for transmitting a common channel or signal on a cell, wherein the first resource configuration information group among the M resource configuration information groups includes N resource configuration information, and M and N are positive integers.

[0102] Each piece of the N resource configuration information is used to configure resources for transmitting a common channel or signal on the first cell, and the N pieces of resource configuration information include the first resource configuration information.

[0103] In the embodiment of the present application, N is greater than or equal to 1.

[0104] Optionally, when N is greater than or equal to 2, the sizes of periods associated with different resource configuration information in the N resource configuration information are different.

[0105] In mode A1, the one or more configuration information include N resource configuration information corresponding to the first cell.

[0106] In approach B1, the one or more configuration information includes M resource configuration information groups. If M is equal to 1, the resource configuration information group is the first resource configuration information group corresponding to the first cell. If M is greater than 1, different resource configuration information groups are associated with different cells, and the M resource configuration information groups include the first resource configuration information group associated with the first cell. The first resource configuration information group associated with the first cell includes N resource configuration information groups.

[0107] For the M resource configuration information groups, the number of resource configuration information included in different resource configuration information groups is the same or different.

[0108] In some embodiments, if N is equal to 1, the N resource configuration information only includes the first resource configuration information. The network device indicates through the first indication information whether the first resource configuration information is used for transmission of a common channel or signal on the first cell, for example, whether the first resource configuration information is valid. The terminal device determines whether to use the first common resource to transmit a common channel or signal on the first cell based on the first indication information.

[0109] In one example, N is 1. When the first indication information indicates valid (for example, "1"), it indicates that the first public resource determined according to the first resource configuration information is valid. At this time, the terminal device uses the first public resource to transmit a public channel or signal on the first cell; or, when the first indication information indicates invalid (for example, "0"), it indicates that the first public resource determined according to the first resource configuration information is invalid or indicates that the first cell is closed. At this time, the terminal device determines that there is no target public resource on the first cell.

[0110] In some embodiments, the first indication information is used to determine the resources used to transmit the common channel or signal on the first cell, including: the first indication information is used to determine the first resource configuration information from the N resource configuration information.

[0111] In one example, N is 1. When the first indication information indicates the first resource configuration information (for example, "1"), the target public resource is the first public resource. At this time, the terminal device uses the first public resource to transmit a public channel or signal on the first cell; or, when the first indication information indicates a preset value (for example, "0"), it indicates that the first cell is closed. At this time, the terminal device determines that there is no target public resource on the first cell.

[0112] Optionally, the first indication information is used to determine the first resource configuration information from the N resource configuration information, including: when N is greater than 1, the first indication information is used to indicate the first resource configuration information from the N resource configuration information. That is, the terminal device determines that the first public resource on the first cell is the target public resource on the first cell based on the first resource configuration information.

[0113] In one example, N is 2, and the N resource configuration information include resource configuration information A for configuring public resource A and resource configuration information B for configuring public resource B; if the first indication information indicates 0, it indicates public resource A (that is, the first public resource is public resource A), and the terminal device uses public resource A to transmit a public channel or signal on the first cell; if the first indication information indicates 1, it indicates public resource B (that is, the first public resource is public resource B), and the terminal device uses public resource B to transmit a public channel or signal on the first cell.

[0114] In one example, N is 2, and the N resource configuration information include resource configuration information A for configuring public resource A and resource configuration information B for configuring public resource B. The first indication information includes a first bit and a second bit corresponding to resource configuration information A and resource configuration information B, respectively; if the value of the first bit is 1, the first indication information indicates resource configuration information A (that is, the first public resource is public resource A), and the terminal device uses public resource A to transmit a public channel or signal on the first cell; if the value of the second bit is 1, the first indication information indicates resource configuration information B (that is, the first public resource is public resource B), and the terminal device uses public resource B to transmit a public channel or signal on the first cell.

[0115] Optionally, the first indication information is used to determine the resources used to transmit the common channel or signal on the first cell, including: the first indication information is used to indicate that the target resource configuration information is switched to the first resource configuration information, wherein the target resource configuration information is the configuration information associated with the resources used to transmit the common channel or signal on the first cell, that is, the target resource configuration information is the configuration information associated with the target public resources on the first cell.

[0116] It can be understood that the first indication information is used to indicate that the target resource configuration information is switched to the first resource configuration information, which can be understood as: the first indication information is used to indicate that the target resource configuration information is switched from the currently used resource configuration information to the first resource configuration information.

[0117] In one example, N is 2, and the N resource configuration information include resource configuration information A for configuring public resource A and resource configuration information B for configuring public resource B; if the current target public resource is public resource A, when the first indication information indicates no switching (for example, "0"), the target public resource is public resource A, and the terminal device uses public resource A to transmit a public channel or signal on the first cell; when the first indication information indicates switching (for example, "1"), the target public resource is public resource B, and the terminal device uses public resource B to transmit a public channel or signal on the first cell.

[0118] In the embodiment of the present application, there is no limitation on the method of determining the first resource configuration information by the first indication information.

[0119] In some embodiments, the number of bits required in the first indication information for indicating the first resource configuration information from the N resource configuration information may be determined according to N.

[0120] Optionally, if N is greater than or equal to 2, the number of bits is ceil(log2(N)) bits, where log2() represents the logarithm with base 2, and ceil() represents rounding up. For example, when N is 2, the number of bits used to indicate the first resource configuration information from the N resource configuration information is 1 bit. For another example, when N is 3, the number of bits used to indicate the first resource configuration information from the N resource configuration information is 2 bits.

[0121] Optionally, the number of bits used to indicate the first resource configuration information from the N resource configuration information is N. For example, if N is 3, the number of bits used to indicate the first resource configuration information from the N resource configuration information is 3, and each bit corresponds to one resource configuration information.

[0122] In some embodiments, the first indication information is carried in a first downlink control information (Downlink Control Information, DCI) format.

[0123] In some embodiments, the one or more configuration information is further used to determine first DCI format configuration information, where the first DCI format configuration information is used to determine one or more of the following information:

[0124] Information 1-1: Configure the first DCI format;

[0125] Information 1-2, a first search space set associated with the first DCI format;

[0126] Information 1-3, the time domain position of the first search space set;

[0127] Information 1-4: a control resource set associated with the first search space set;

[0128] Information 1-5, the number of information bits in the first DCI format;

[0129] Information 1-6, a first Radio Network Temporary Identity (RNTI) associated with the first DCI format;

[0130] Information 1-7, an association relationship between the first cell and the first indication information;

[0131] Information 1-8, the starting position of the first indication information in the first DCI format.

[0132] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present application, “for determining” can be understood as direct determination or indirect determination.

[0133] One or more configuration information is used to determine the first DCI format configuration information, and the first DCI format information is used to determine one or more of information 1-1 to information 1-8, and can also be replaced by one or more configuration information to indicate one or more of information 1-1 to information 1-8.

[0134] Information 1-1 is used to indicate that the first indication information is carried in the first DCI format.

[0135] Information 1-2 may be a set identifier of a first search space set (SSS). The first search space set is used by the terminal device to monitor the first DCI format.

[0136] Information 1-3 is used to indicate the time domain position at which the terminal device monitors the first DCI format.

[0137] Information 1-4 is used to indicate the frequency domain position that the terminal device monitors when monitoring the first DCI format.

[0138] Information 1-5 is used to indicate the size of the first DCI format.

[0139] Information 1-6 is used for the terminal device to monitor the first DCI format.

[0140] For information 1-7, it is used to indicate that the first indication information carried by the terminal device is used for the first cell.

[0141] Information 1-8 is used to indicate the starting position of the first indication information in the first DCI format.

[0142] In some embodiments, the terminal device receives the first indication information, including:

[0143] The terminal device receives the first indication information based on the first DCI format configuration information.

[0144] In some embodiments, the network device sending the first indication information to the terminal device includes:

[0145] The network device sends the first indication information to the terminal device based on the first DCI format configuration information.

[0146] Optionally, the terminal device monitors the first DCI format based on one or more of information 1-1 to information 1-6 determined by one or more configuration information, and after receiving the first DCI format, parses the first indication information based on information 1-7 and information 1-8.

[0147] In some embodiments, the starting position of the effective time of the first resource configuration information is determined by one of the following methods:

[0148] Starting position determination method 1-1, the starting position is the starting position of the first period of receiving the first DCI format;

[0149] Starting position determination method 1-2, the starting position is the end position of the first cycle of receiving the first DCI format;

[0150] Starting position determination method 1-3, the starting position is the starting position of the next first cycle after receiving the first DCI format;

[0151] Starting position determination method 1-4, the starting position is the starting position of the first time slot after the first DCI format is received and the first delay time length has passed;

[0152] Starting position determination method 1-5, the starting position is the starting position of the next first cycle after the first DCI format is received and the first delay time length has passed;

[0153] Starting position determination method 1-6, the starting position is indicated by the first DCI format;

[0154] Starting position determination mode 1-7, the time interval between the starting position and the time domain resource of receiving the first DCI format is preconfigured or predefined;

[0155] The first period is a period associated with the first resource configuration information.

[0156] Optionally, the starting position of the effective time of the first resource configuration information can be replaced by: the starting position of the effective time of the first indication information.

[0157] It is understandable that when the first resource configuration information configures the first public resource on the first cell, starting from the starting position of the effective time of the first resource configuration information, the target public resource on the first cell is the first public resource on the first cell.

[0158] For the starting position determination method 1-1, in one example, as shown in FIG6A , the terminal device receives the first DCI format at time T1, and the starting position of the effective time of the first resource configuration information is the starting time T2 of the first cycle where T1 is located.

[0159] For the starting position determination method 1-2, in one example, as shown in FIG6B , the terminal device receives the first DCI format at time T1, and the starting position of the effective time of the first resource configuration information is the end time T3 of the first cycle where T1 is located.

[0160] For starting position determination method 1-2, the end position of the first period of receiving the first DCI format can be replaced by the starting position of the next first period of receiving the first DCI format. It can be understood that the starting position of the effective time of the first resource configuration information determined by starting position determination method 1-2 is the same as that determined by starting position determination method 1-3.

[0161] For starting position determination method 1-4, after the terminal device receives the first DCI format, the starting position of the first time slot after the first delay time length is delayed backward based on the time of receiving the first DCI format is determined as the starting position of the effective time of the first resource configuration information.

[0162] In one example, as shown in Figure 6C, the terminal device receives the first DCI format at time T1, extends T1 by the first delay time length to obtain time T4, and the starting position of the effective time of the first resource configuration information is the starting position T5 of the first time slot after time T4.

[0163] Optionally, the first delay time length is related to the size of the subcarrier spacing. The first delay time length varies based on different subcarrier spacings.

[0164] For starting position determination method 1-5, after the terminal device receives the first DCI format, it delays the time of receiving the first DCI format by the first delay time length to obtain a position, and determines the end position of the first cycle where the position is located or the starting position of the next first cycle as the starting position of the effective time of the first resource configuration information.

[0165] In one example, as shown in Figure 6D, the terminal device receives the first DCI format at time T1, and delays T1 by the first delay time length to obtain time T4. The starting position of the effective time of the first resource configuration information is the end time of the first cycle where T4 is located or the start time T6 of the next first cycle of the first cycle where T4 is located.

[0166] For starting position determination method 1-6, after receiving the first DCI format, the terminal device determines the starting position of the effectiveness time of the first resource configuration information indicated by the first DCI format.

[0167] Optionally, the starting position is indicated by the first DCI format, including: the starting position is indicated by the first indication information.

[0168] In one example, as shown in FIG6E , the terminal device receives the first DCI format at time T1, and the first DCI format indicates that the starting position of the effective time of the first resource configuration information is time T7. Then the starting position of the effective time of the first resource configuration information is time T7.

[0169] For the starting position determination methods 1-7, pre-configuration or pre-definition can be understood as agreement.

[0170] After receiving the first DCI format, the terminal device delays the time of receiving the first DCI format by a preconfigured or predefined period of time, and the resulting time is the starting time of the effective time of the first resource configuration information.

[0171] In some embodiments, the length of the effective time of the first resource configuration information is determined by one of the following methods:

[0172] Length determination method 1-1: the length is a preconfigured or predefined value;

[0173] Length determination mode 1-2, the length is the length of the preconfigured first timer;

[0174] Length determination method 1-3, the length is indicated by the first DCI format.

[0175] If the length of the effective time of the first resource configuration information is the length of the first timer, the terminal device starts or restarts the first timer at the start time when the first resource configuration information takes effect. When the first timer times out, the effective time of the first resource configuration information ends, that is, the first resource configuration information is invalid.

[0176] Optionally, the terminal device determines a first time window based on the starting position of the effective time of the first resource configuration information and the length of the effective time of the first resource configuration information, wherein the first resource configuration information is effective within the first time window, or the first indication information is effective within the first time window.

[0177] Optionally, when the first resource configuration information is effective, the first resource configuration information can be considered valid, and the terminal device determines the resources used to transmit the common channel or signal on the first cell based on the first resource configuration information.

[0178] In some embodiments, when the length is indicated by the first DCI format, the length indicated by the first DCI format is the remaining length of the validity period of the first resource configuration information.

[0179] Optionally, the length is indicated by the first DCI format, including: the length is indicated by the first indication information.

[0180] Optionally, the length indicated by the first DCI format is L, and the remaining length of the validity time of the first resource configuration information indicated by the first DCI format is L.

[0181] In some embodiments, the unit of the length is one of the following:

[0182] The length, time slot, subframe, half frame, frame, millisecond, or second of the first cycle; the first cycle is the cycle associated with the first resource configuration information.

[0183] Optionally, if the length indicated by the first DCI format is L, and the unit of the length is the length of the first cycle, it indicates that the length is L first cycles. For example, if the first DCI format indicates L first cycles, and the indicated length is the remaining length of the effective time of the first resource configuration information, it indicates that the first resource configuration is effective within L first cycles starting from the receipt of the first DCI format.

[0184] In one example, as shown in Figure 6F, the first DCI format indicates that the remaining length of the first resource configuration information is 1, and the unit of length is the length of the first cycle. The remaining length of the first resource configuration information is 1 first cycle, and the end position of the effective time of the first resource configuration information indicated by the first DCI format is the end position of the first cycle when the first DCI format is received. For example, the remaining length of the effective time is the duration between the time T1 when the first DCI format is received and the end position T3 of the first cycle when the first DCI format is received.

[0185] In some embodiments, when the one or more configuration information include M resource configuration information groups, the first DCI format includes M indication information, wherein each indication information is used to determine the resources for transmitting a common channel or signal on the cell associated with the indication information.

[0186] Here, the M indication information included in the first DCI format includes first indication information associated with the first cell.

[0187] In some embodiments, the N resource configuration information includes a resource configuration information for determining that there is no resource for transmitting a common channel or signal on the first cell; or,

[0188] The first indication information is further used to determine that there are no resources for transmitting common channels or signals in the first cell; or,

[0189] The first DCI format is also used to determine that there are no resources for transmitting common channels or signals on the first cell.

[0190] It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, there are no resources for transmitting common channels or signals on the first cell, including: there are no resources for transmitting downlink common channels or signals on the first cell, and / or there are no resources for transmitting uplink common channels or signals on the first cell.

[0191] Optionally, if the N resource configuration information includes a resource configuration information for determining that there are no resources for transmitting common channels or signals on the first cell. When the first indication information indicates the resource configuration information (that is, the resource configuration information is the first resource configuration information), there are no resources for transmitting common channels or signals on the first cell, or it can be understood that the first cell is closed. As an example, the Nth resource configuration information among the N resource configuration information is used to indicate that the first cell is closed. When the first indication information indicates the Nth resource configuration information, it means that there are no target common resources on the first cell.

[0192] Optionally, when the first indication information indicates a preset value, the first indication information is used to indicate that there are no resources for transmitting common channels or signals on the first cell, or that the first cell is considered to be shut down and there are no target common resources on the first cell. As an example, when the bits in the first indication information indicate all 0s or all 1s, it indicates that the first cell is shut down or there are no resources for transmitting common channels or signals on the first cell.

[0193] Optionally, in addition to the first indication information, the first DCI format also includes information for indicating cell shutdown. As an example, when the information for indicating cell shutdown in the first DCI format indicates cell shutdown, one or more cells associated with the first DCI format, including the first cell, are all shut down, and there are no resources for transmitting common channels or signals in the one or more cells. In some cases, the one or more cells include a primary cell and / or a primary and secondary cell of the terminal device.

[0194] Optionally, when the first DCI format indicates that the primary cell of the terminal device is turned off, the terminal device does not parse the first indication information associated with the primary cell in the first DCI format.

[0195] In some embodiments, the first indication information is carried in a first Media Access Control-Control Element (MAC Control Element, MAC CE).

[0196] In some embodiments, the starting position of the effective time of the first resource configuration information is the starting position of the effective time of the first MAC CE signaling; and / or,

[0197] The length of the effective time of the first resource configuration information is a preconfigured or predefined value.

[0198] In some embodiments, the unit of the length is one of the following:

[0199] The length, time slot, subframe, half frame, frame, millisecond, or second of the first cycle; the first cycle is the cycle associated with the first resource configuration information.

[0200] The length of the effective time of the first resource configuration information may be any of the above time units.

[0201] In one example, the unit of length is a first period, and the value of the preconfigured or predefined length is 2, then the length of the effective time of the first resource configuration information is 2 first periods.

[0202] In some embodiments, when the one or more configuration information include M resource configuration information groups, the first MAC CE signaling includes M indication information, wherein each indication information is used to determine the resources for transmitting common channels or signals on the cell associated with the indication information.

[0203] Here, the M indication information included in the first MAC CE signaling includes first indication information associated with the first cell.

[0204] In some embodiments, the N resource configuration information includes a resource configuration information for determining that there is no resource for transmitting a common channel or signal on the first cell; or,

[0205] The first indication information is further used to determine that there are no resources for transmitting common channels or signals in the first cell; or,

[0206] The first MAC CE signaling is further used to determine that there are no resources for transmitting common channels or signals on the first cell.

[0207] Optionally, if the N resource configuration information includes a resource configuration information for determining that there are no resources for transmitting common channels or signals on the first cell. When the first indication information indicates the resource configuration information (that is, the resource configuration information is the first resource configuration information), there are no resources for transmitting common channels or signals on the first cell, or it can be understood that the first cell is closed. As an example, the Nth resource configuration information among the N resource configuration information is used to indicate that the first cell is closed. When the first indication information indicates the Nth resource configuration information, it means that there are no target common resources on the first cell.

[0208] Optionally, when the first indication information indicates a preset value, the first indication information is used to indicate that there are no resources for transmitting common channels or signals on the first cell. In this case, it can be considered that the first cell is shut down and there are no resources for transmitting common channels or signals on the first cell. As an example, when the bits in the first indication information indicate all 0s or all 1s, it indicates that the first cell is shut down or there are no resources for transmitting common channels or signals on the first cell.

[0209] Optionally, the first MAC CE signaling includes, in addition to the first indication information, information for indicating cell shutdown. As an example, when the information for indicating cell shutdown in the first MAC CE signaling indicates cell shutdown, the first cell associated with the first MAC CE signaling is shut down.

[0210] In some embodiments, the terminal device determines the resources used for transmitting common channels or signals on the first cell based on the first resource configuration information.

[0211] The following is an example of how the terminal device determines the target public resource on the first cell based on the first indication information and the first resource configuration information.

[0212] As an example, the one or more configuration information include resource configuration information A and resource configuration information B. The terminal device monitors the first DCI format, and the first indication information in the first DCI format is used to indicate the first resource configuration information. When the terminal device receives the first indication information in the first DCI format indicating resource configuration information A, the terminal device determines that the first resource configuration information is resource configuration information A, that is, from the starting position of the effective time of the first resource configuration information, for example, from the starting position of the first period of receiving the first DCI format, the terminal device determines the target public resource on the first cell according to the resource configuration information A; when the terminal device receives the first indication information in the first DCI format indicating resource configuration information B, the terminal device determines that the first resource configuration information is resource configuration information B, that is, from the starting position of the effective time of the first resource configuration information, for example, from the starting position of the first period of receiving the first DCI format, the terminal device determines the target public resource on the first cell according to the resource configuration information B.

[0213] As another example, the one or more configuration information include resource configuration information A and resource configuration information B. The terminal device monitors the first DCI format, and the first indication information in the first DCI format is used to indicate whether to switch the target resource configuration information. If the target public resource on the current first cell is determined according to the resource configuration information A, when the terminal device receives the first indication information in the first DCI format indicating not to switch (for example, "0"), the terminal device determines that the target public resource on the first cell is still determined according to the resource configuration information A; when the terminal device receives the first indication information in the first DCI format indicating switching (for example, "1"), starting from the starting position of the effective time of the first DCI format, for example, from the next period after receiving the first DCI format and after the first delay time length, the terminal device determines that the target public resource on the first cell is determined according to the resource configuration information B.

[0214] As another example, the one or more configuration information include first resource configuration information. The terminal device monitors the first DCI format, and the first indication information in the first DCI format is used to indicate whether the first resource configuration information is valid. When the terminal device receives the first indication information in the first DCI format indicating valid (for example, "1"), starting from the starting position of the effective time of the first indication information, for example, from the first time slot after the first DCI format is received and the first delay time length has passed, the terminal device determines the target common resource on the first cell according to the first resource configuration information; when the terminal device receives the first indication information in the first DCI format indicating invalid (for example, "0"), starting from the starting position of the effective time of the first indication information, for example, from the first time slot after the first DCI format is received and the first delay time length has passed, the terminal device determines that the first cell is closed.

[0215] As another example, the one or more configuration information include resource configuration information A and resource configuration information B. The first indication information in the first MAC CE signaling is used to indicate the first resource configuration information. When the terminal device receives the first indication information in the first MAC CE signaling indicating resource configuration information A, the terminal device determines that the first resource configuration information is resource configuration information A, that is, starting from the starting position of the effective time of the first MAC CE signaling, the terminal device determines the target public resource on the first cell according to resource configuration information A; when the terminal device receives the first indication information in the first MAC CE signaling indicating resource configuration information B, the terminal device determines that the first resource configuration information is resource configuration information B, that is, starting from the starting position of the effective time of the first MAC CE signaling, the terminal device determines the target public resource on the first cell according to resource configuration information B.

[0216] As another example, the one or more configuration information includes first resource configuration information. The first indication information in the first MAC CE signaling is used to indicate whether the first resource configuration information is valid. When the terminal device receives the first indication information in the first MAC CE signaling indicating that it is valid (for example, "1"), starting from the starting position of the effective time of the first MAC CE signaling, the terminal device determines the target common resource on the first cell according to the first resource configuration information; when the terminal device receives the first indication information in the first MAC CE signaling indicating that it is invalid (for example, "0"), starting from the starting position of the effective time of the first MAC CE signaling, the terminal device determines that the first cell is closed.

[0217] In some embodiments, the one or more configuration information includes cell DTX and / or cell discontinuous transmission DRX configuration information on the first cell.

[0218] Optionally, the one or more configuration information includes cell DTX and / or cell DRX configuration information on the first cell, including:

[0219] Mode A2: The one or more configuration information further includes cell DTX and / or cell DRX configuration information on the first cell; or

[0220] Mode B2: The one or more configuration information include cell DTX and / or cell DRX configuration information on M cells, and the cell DTX and / or cell DRX configuration information on the M cells includes the cell DTX and / or cell DRX configuration information on the first cell.

[0221] Optionally, the one or more configuration information includes cell DTX and / or cell DRX configuration information on the first cell, including one of the following situations:

[0222] The one or more configuration information includes cell DTX configuration information on the first cell;

[0223] The one or more configuration information include cell DRX configuration information on the first cell;

[0224] The one or more configuration information include cell DTX configuration information and cell DRX configuration information on the first cell.

[0225] In mode B2, the one or more configuration information includes cell DTX and / or cell DRX configuration information for M cells. If M is equal to 1, the cell DTX and / or cell DRX configuration information is the cell DTX and / or cell DRX configuration information of the first cell. If M is greater than 1, different cell DTX and / or cell DRX configuration information is associated with different cells, and one of the M cell DTX and / or cell DRX configuration information is the cell DTX and / or cell DRX configuration information associated with the first cell.

[0233] It is understood that the cell DTX and / or cell DRX configuration includes an active period (Active Period) and a non-active period (Non-active Period). Figure 7 shows a schematic diagram of the active period and non-active period of a cell DTX cycle.

[0234] Optionally, when the cell DTX configuration information is activated (for example, the first indication information indicates activation of the cell DTX configuration information on the first cell), on the first cell, the resources in the first public resources used to transmit downlink public channels or signals during the non-activation period of the cell DTX are invalid (that is, the target public resources do not include the downlink public resources in the first public resources during the non-activation period of the cell DTX).

[0235] Optionally, when the cell DTX configuration information is activated (for example, the first indication information indicates activation of the cell DTX configuration information on the first cell), on the first cell, the resources in the first public resources for transmitting downlink public channels or signals within the activation period of the cell DTX are valid (that is, the target public resources include the downlink public resources in the first public resources within the activation period of the cell DTX).

[0236] Optionally, when the cell DTX configuration information is deactivated (for example, the first indication information indicates deactivation of the cell DTX configuration on the first cell) or the cell DTX is not configured, on the first cell, the resources in the first public resources for transmitting downlink public channels or signals are valid (that is, the target public resources include the downlink public resources in the first public resources).

[0237] Optionally, when the cell DRX configuration information is activated (for example, the first indication information indicates activation of the cell DRX configuration information on the first cell), on the first cell, the resources in the first public resources used to transmit uplink common channels or signals during the non-activation period of the cell DRX are invalid (that is, the target public resources do not include the uplink public resources in the first public resources during the non-activation period of the cell DRX).

[0238] Optionally, when the cell DRX configuration information is activated (for example, the first indication information indicates activation of the cell DRX configuration information on the first cell), on the first cell, the resources in the first public resources for transmitting uplink common channels or signals within the activation period of the cell DRX are valid (that is, the target public resources include the uplink public resources in the first public resources within the activation period of the cell DRX).

[0243] In some embodiments, the first indication information is carried in a second DCI format.

[0244] In some embodiments, the one or more configuration information is further used to determine second DCI format configuration information, where the second DCI format configuration information is used to determine one or more of the following information:

[0254] Information 2-1 is used to indicate that the first indication information is carried in the second DCI format.

[0255] Information 2-2 may be a set identifier of a second SSS. The second search space set is used by the terminal device to monitor the second DCI format.

[0260] Information 2-7 is used to indicate that the first indication information carried by the terminal device is used for the first cell.

[0261] Information 2-8 is used to indicate the starting position of the first indication information in the second DCI format.

[0262] In some embodiments, the terminal device receives the first indication information, including:

[0263] The terminal device receives the first indication information based on the second DCI format configuration information.

[0264] In some embodiments, the network device sending the first indication information to the terminal device includes:

[0265] The network device sends the first indication information to the terminal device based on the second DCI format configuration information.

[0266] Optionally, the terminal device monitors the second DCI format based on one or more of information 2-1 to information 2-6 determined by one or more configuration information, and after receiving the first DCI format, parses the first indication information based on information 2-7 and information 2-8.

[0267] In some embodiments, the starting position of the effective time of activating or deactivating the cell DTX and / or cell DRX configuration on the first cell is determined by one of the following methods:

[0268] Starting position determination method 2-1: the starting position is the starting position of the second period of receiving the second DCI format;

[0269] Starting position determination method 2-2, the starting position is the end position of the second period of receiving the second DCI format;

[0270] Starting position determination method 2-3, the starting position is the starting position of the next second period after receiving the second DCI format;

[0271] Starting position determination method 2-4, the starting position is the starting position of the first time slot after the second DCI format is received and the second delay time length has passed;

[0272] Starting position determination method 2-5, the starting position is the starting position of the next second cycle after the second DCI format is received and the second delay time length has passed;

[0273] Starting position determination method 2-6, the starting position is indicated by the second DCI format;

[0274] Starting position determination mode 2-7: the time interval between the starting position and the time domain resource of receiving the second DCI format is preconfigured or predefined;

[0275] The second period is a period associated with cell DTX and / or cell DRX on the first cell.

[0276] Optionally, the starting position of the effective time of activating or deactivating the cell DTX and / or cell DRX configuration on the first cell may be replaced by: the starting position of the effective time of the first indication information.

[0277] The difference between the starting position determination methods 2-1 to 2-8 and the starting position determination methods 1-1 to 1-8 is that the starting position determined by the starting position determination methods 2-1 to 2-8 is the starting position of the effective time of activating or deactivating the cell DTX and / or cell DRX configuration on the first cell; the starting position determined by the starting position determination methods 1-1 to 1-8 is the starting position of the effective time of the first resource configuration information. For the specific determination of the above-mentioned starting position determination methods 2-1 to 2-8, please refer to the description of the starting position determination methods 1-1 to 1-8, which will not be repeated here.

[0278] Optionally, the first delay time length and the second delay time length may be the same or different.

[0279] Optionally, the second delay time length is related to the size of the subcarrier spacing. The second delay time length varies based on different subcarrier spacings.

[0280] In some embodiments, the length of the effective time of activating or deactivating the cell DTX and / or cell DRX configuration information on the first cell is determined by one of the following methods:

[0281] Length determination method 2-1: The length is a preconfigured or predefined value;

[0282] Length determination method 2-2: the length is the length of the preconfigured second timer;

[0283] Length determination method 2-3: The length is determined based on the activation or deactivation state change indicated by the first indication information.

[0284] For length determination method 2-2, the length of the effective time of activating or deactivating the cell DTX and / or cell DRX configuration information on the first cell is the length of the second timer. The terminal device starts or restarts the second timer at the starting time when the cell DTX and / or cell DRX configuration information on the first cell is activated or deactivated. When the second timer times out, the cell DTX and / or cell DRX configuration information on the first cell is deactivated or activated, that is, the activation status of the cell DTX and / or cell DRX configuration information on the first cell changes.

[0285] For length determination method 2-3, if the first indication information activates the cell DTX and / or cell DRX configuration information of the first cell, the cell DTX and / or cell DRX configuration of the first cell is always activated before the next first indication information indicating deactivation of the cell DTX and / or cell DRX configuration information of the first cell arrives. Upon receiving the first indication information indicating deactivation of the cell DTX and / or cell DRX configuration information of the first cell, the cell DTX and / or cell DRX configuration information of the first cell is deactivated.

[0286] Optionally, the terminal device determines a second time window based on the starting position of the effective time of activating or deactivating the cell DTX and / or cell DRX configuration information on the first cell and the length of the effective time of activating or deactivating the cell DTX and / or cell DRX configuration information on the first cell, and the activation or deactivation of the cell DTX and / or cell DRX configuration information on the first cell indicated by the first indication information takes effect within the second time window, or the first indication information is valid within the second time window.

[0287] In some embodiments, the unit of the length is one of the following:

[0288] Length of the second period, time slot, subframe, half-frame, frame, milliseconds, seconds;

[0289] The second period is a period associated with cell DTX and / or cell DRX on the first cell.

[0290] In some embodiments, when the one or more configuration information includes cell DTX and / or cell DRX configuration information on M cells, the second DCI format includes M indication information, wherein each indication information is used to activate or deactivate the cell DTX and / or cell DRX configuration information on the cell associated with the indication information.

[0291] Here, the M indication information included in the second DCI format includes first indication information associated with the first cell.

[0292] In some embodiments, the first indication information is further used to determine that there are no resources for transmitting common channels or signals on the first cell; or, the second DCI format is further used to determine that there are no resources for transmitting common channels or signals on the first cell.

[0293] Optionally, when the first indication information indicates a preset value, the first indication information is used to indicate that there are no resources for transmitting common channels or signals on the first cell. In this case, it can be considered that the first cell is shut down and there are no resources for transmitting common channels or signals on the first cell. As an example, when the bits in the first indication information indicate all 0s or all 1s, it indicates that the first cell is shut down or there are no resources for transmitting common channels or signals on the first cell.

[0294] Optionally, in addition to the first indication information, the second DCI format further includes information for indicating cell shutdown. As an example, when the information for indicating cell shutdown in the second DCI format indicates cell shutdown, one or more cells associated with the second DCI format, including the first cell, are all shut down, and there are no resources for transmitting common channels or signals in the one or more cells. In some cases, the one or more cells include a primary cell and / or a primary and secondary cell of the terminal device.

[0295] In some embodiments, the first indication information is carried in second MAC CE signaling.

[0296] In some embodiments, the starting position of the effective time of activating or deactivating the cell DTX and / or cell DRX configuration information on the first cell is the starting position of the effective time of the second MAC CE signaling.

[0297] In some embodiments, when the one or more configuration information includes cell DTX and / or cell DRX configuration information on M cells, the second MAC CE signaling includes M indication information, wherein each indication information is used to activate or deactivate the cell DTX and / or cell DRX configuration information on the cell associated with the indication information.

[0298] Here, the M indication information included in the second MAC CE signaling includes the first indication information associated with the first cell.

[0299] In some embodiments, the first indication information is further used to determine that there are no resources for transmitting common channels or signals on the first cell; or, the second MAC CE signaling is further used to determine that there are no resources for transmitting common channels or signals on the first cell.

[0300] Optionally, when the first indication information indicates a preset value, the first indication information is used to indicate that there are no resources for transmitting common channels or signals on the first cell. In this case, it can be considered that the first cell is shut down and there are no resources for transmitting common channels or signals on the first cell. As an example, when the bits in the first indication information indicate all 0s or all 1s, it indicates that the first cell is shut down or there are no resources for transmitting common channels or signals on the first cell.

[0301] Optionally, the second MAC CE signaling includes, in addition to the first indication information, information for indicating cell shutdown. As an example, when the information for indicating cell shutdown in the second MAC CE signaling indicates cell shutdown, the first cell associated with the second MAC CE signaling is shut down.

[0302] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0303] When the first indication information indicates activation or deactivation of the cell DTX and / or cell DRX configuration information on the first cell, the terminal device determines the resources used for transmitting the common channel or signal on the first cell based on the activation or deactivation status of the cell DTX and / or cell DRX configuration on the first cell; or,

[0304] When the first indication information indicates that the first cell is closed, the terminal device determines that there are no resources for transmitting common channels or signals on the first cell.

[0305] The following is an example of how the terminal device determines the target public resource on the first cell based on the first indication information and the first resource configuration information.

[0306] As an example, the one or more configuration information include first resource configuration information and cell DTX configuration information, wherein the first resource configuration information is used to determine the first public resource. The terminal device monitors the second DCI format, and the first indication information in the second DCI format is used to indicate the activation or deactivation of the cell DTX configuration of the first cell. When the terminal device receives the first indication information in the second DCI format indicating the activation of the cell DTX configuration of the first cell, starting from the starting position of the effective time of the first indication information, the terminal device determines that the target public resource on the first cell does not include the downlink public resource in the first public resource that is within the non-activation period of the cell DTX; when the terminal device receives the first indication information in the second DCI format indicating the deactivation of the cell DTX configuration of the first cell, starting from the starting position of the effective time of the first indication information, the terminal device determines that the target public resource on the first cell includes the downlink public resource in the first public resource. It can be understood that the uplink public resource is not affected by the cell DTX configuration. If the first public resource includes the uplink public resource, the target public resource on the first cell includes the uplink public resource in the first public resource.

[0307] As another example, the one or more configuration information includes first resource configuration information and cell DRX configuration information, wherein the first resource configuration information is used to determine the first public resource. The terminal device monitors the second DCI format, and the first indication information in the second DCI format is used to indicate activation or deactivation of the cell DRX configuration of the first cell. When the terminal device receives the first indication information in the second DCI format indicating activation of the cell DRX configuration of the first cell, starting from the starting position of the effective time of the first indication information, the terminal device determines that the target public resource on the first cell does not include the uplink public resource in the first public resource that belongs to the non-activation period of the cell DRX; when the terminal device receives the first indication information in the second DCI format indicating deactivation of the cell DRX configuration of the first cell, starting from the starting position of the effective time of the first indication information, the terminal device determines that the target public resource on the first cell includes the uplink public resource in the first public resource. It can be understood that the downlink public resource is not affected by the cell DRX configuration. If the first public resource includes the downlink public resource, the target public resource on the first cell includes the downlink public resource in the first public resource.

[0308] Below, the first resource configuration information provided in an embodiment of the present application is described.

[0309] In some embodiments, the first resource configuration information includes at least one or more of the following:

[0310] the period of the common channel or signal;

[0311] The time domain location of the common channel or signal;

[0312] The frequency domain location of the common channel or signal;

[0313] The transmission power of the common channel or signal or a parameter used to determine the transmission power;

[0314] Antenna ports for common channels or signals;

[0315] Antenna port or index or configuration index of a common channel or reference signal associated with the signal;

[0316] QCL association or TCI status indication of common channels or signals.

[0317] In an embodiment of the present application, among the N resource configuration information, one or more of the above items included in different resource configuration information are different.

[0318] In some embodiments, the common signal or signals include one or both of the following:

[0319] Downlink common channel or signal;

[0320] Uplink common channel or signal.

[0321] In some embodiments, the downlink common channel or signal includes at least one or more of the following:

[0322] Synchronization signal block SSB;

[0323] System Information Fast 1SIB1;

[0324] One or more SIBs in SIBs other than SIB1;

[0325] paging messages;

[0326] Public PDCCH;

[0327] Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS).

[0328] Optionally, the CSI-RS is used by the terminal device to perform time-frequency synchronization and / or RRM measurement. For example, the CSI-RS is a Tracking Reference Signal (TRS), and the terminal device performs time-frequency synchronization based on the TRS.

[0329] Optionally, the CSI-RS is used by the terminal device to perform positioning measurement. For example, the CSI-RS is a positioning reference signal (PRS), and the terminal device performs positioning measurement based on the PRS.

[0330] In some embodiments, the uplink common channel or signal includes at least one or more of the following:

[0331] Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH);

[0332] MessageAmsgA;

[0333] Sounding Reference Signal (SRS);

[0334] Common physical uplink control channel PUCCH.

[0335] MsgA includes PRACH and PUSCH. MsgA is the first step in the two-step random access process.

[0336] Optionally, the SRS is used by the network device to perform time-frequency synchronization and / or positioning measurement.

[0337] Optionally, the public PUCCH is used by a terminal device to send request information. For example, the public PUCCH is used by one or more terminal devices to send a scheduling request. For another example, the public PUCCH is used to request a network device to send at least one of the following information: an SSB, SIB1, one or more SIBs in a SIB other than SIB1, and a CSI-RS.

[0338] In one example, a common channel or signal includes an SSB / SIB1, and resource configuration information for the common channel or signal includes a period of the common channel or signal and an index of a reference signal associated with the common channel or signal. At least two sets of resource configurations for the common channel or signal include resource configuration 1 and resource configuration 2. Resource configuration 1 configures the SSB / SIB1 period to be 20ms, and the indexes of the transmitted SSBs are SSB0, SSB1, SSB2, and SSB3; resource configuration 2 configures the SSB / SIB1 period to be 160ms, and the indexes of the transmitted SSBs are SSB0 and SSB2.

[0339] In one example, a common channel or signal includes an SSB / SIB1 / other SIB messages other than SIB1, and the resource configuration information of the common channel or signal includes parameters for determining transmit power. The resource configuration of at least two sets of common channels or signals includes a first common resource configuration and a second common resource configuration. The first common resource configuration and the second common resource configuration are used to determine the transmit power of the common channel or signal as a first transmit power and a second transmit power, respectively. The first common resource configuration and the second common resource configuration can directly configure the first transmit power and the second transmit power, or can configure the first transmit power and a first transmit power offset value, and the second transmit power is determined based on the first transmit power and the first transmit power offset value.

[0340] In one example, the common channel or signal includes a PRACH, and the resource configuration information of the common channel or signal includes a PRACH reception threshold. The at least two sets of resource configurations for the common channel or signal include a first common resource configuration and a second common resource configuration. The first common resource configuration and the second common resource configuration are used to configure a first PRACH reception threshold and a second PRACH reception threshold. The terminal device can determine a first transmit power for PRACH transmission based on the first PRACH reception threshold, and can determine a second transmit power for PRACH transmission based on the second PRACH reception threshold.

[0341] In one example, the common channel or signal includes a PRACH, and the resource configuration information of the common channel or signal includes a PRACH configuration index. The resource configuration of the at least two sets of common channels or signals includes a first common resource configuration and a second common resource configuration. The first common resource configuration and the second common resource configuration include a first PRACH configuration index and a second PRACH configuration index. The terminal device can determine the PRACH resource association first period based on the first PRACH configuration index, and can determine the PRACH resource association second period based on the second PRACH configuration index.

[0342] In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device obtains the one or more configuration information via a system message. In this case, the network device sends the one or more configuration information to the terminal device via a system message.

[0343] In an embodiment of the present application, the one or more configuration information obtained by the terminal device includes the first resource configuration information, and can also be used to determine one or more of the following: N resource configuration information, DCI format configuration information (first DCI format configuration information or second DCI format configuration information), and the DTX / DRX configuration of the cell. The one or more configuration information can be obtained through one or more signalings, and different signalings can be used to configure different configuration information.

[0344] In the channel or signal transmission method provided in the embodiments of the present application, the following four resource determination methods are provided:

[0345] Resource determination method 1: Configure at least two sets of common channel or signal resource configurations, and indicate which set of common channel or signal resource configuration is currently in use through DCI;

[0346] Resource determination method 2: Configure at least two sets of common channel or signal resource configurations and indicate which set of common channel or signal resource configuration is currently in use through MAC CE;

[0347] Resource determination method 3: Configure one or more cell-common DTX and / or DRX configurations, and activate or deactivate the cell-common DTX and / or DRX configurations through DCI instructions;

[0348] Resource determination method 4: configure one or more cell-common DTX and / or DRX configurations, and activate or deactivate the cell-common DTX and / or DRX configurations through a MAC CE instruction.

[0349] Resource determination method 1 to resource determination method 4 are applied to the scenario where the cell turns on the energy-saving mode. For the sake of convenience of description, it is referred to as an energy-saving cell. When the cell enters the energy-saving mode, since the terminal device needs to obtain the information of the network device configuration / update of the resource configuration of the common channel or signal, and the traditional terminal device does not have the ability to read the information of the network device configuration / update of the resource configuration of the common channel or signal, the network device of the energy-saving cell needs to configure a new service cell for the traditional terminal device in the connected state through a switching command, switch the traditional terminal device in the connected state to a non-energy-saving cell, and / or prohibit the traditional terminal device in the idle state / inactive state from accessing the energy-saving cell through a prohibition access command. In this way, the impact on the traditional terminal device when the cell enters the energy-saving mode can be avoided.

[0350] The network device can adopt at least one of the above methods to dynamically adjust the resource configuration for transmitting common channels or signals, so that the resources used for transmitting common channels or signals and the service traffic in the system can be adapted to achieve the purpose of network energy saving.

[0351] The channel or signal transmission method provided in the embodiment of the present application is applicable to terminal devices that support network energy saving (NES) capabilities and are in an idle state / inactive state / connected state.

[0352] For terminal devices supporting network energy savings (NES) capabilities, network device configuration update messages can be obtained through at least one of resource determination methods 1 to 4. It should be understood that resource determination methods 1 to 4 are applicable to terminal devices supporting NES capabilities in idle, inactive, or connected states.

[0353] The following describes examples of resource determination mode 1 and resource determination mode 3.

[0354] Resource determination method 1

[0355] The network device configures at least two sets of common channel or signal resource configurations for the first cell, where the at least two sets of common channel or signal resource configurations include a first common resource configuration and a second common resource configuration. The common channel or signal resource configuration can also be understood as resource configuration information. The network device also configures the terminal device to monitor a first DCI format. The first DCI format includes first indication information, where the first indication information is used to determine a target common resource configuration in the at least two sets of common channel or signal resource configurations for the first cell.

[0356] As shown in Figure 8, the length of the first cycle associated with the first public resource configuration is twice the length of the second cycle associated with the second public resource configuration. The starting point of the effective time window of the first indication information is the starting position of the cycle in which the terminal device receives the first DCI format. When the first indication information indicates "0", the target public resource configuration is the first public resource configuration; when the first indication information indicates "1", the target resource configuration is the second public resource configuration. The first DCI format is also used to indicate the size of the remaining effective time window length of the target public resource configuration, where the unit of the window length is the length of the cycle associated with the target public resource configuration. As shown in Figure 8, if the first indication information in the first DCI format indicates "0" and the remaining length of the effective time indicated by the first DCI format is 1, it means that the first public resource configuration is effective within the first cycle associated with the current first public resource configuration in which the first DCI format is received. After the end of the first cycle, if the first indication information in the first DCI format indicates "1" and the remaining length of the effective time indicated by the first DCI format is 2, it means that the second public resource configuration is effective within the second cycle associated with the current second public resource configuration in which the first DCI format is received and the next second cycle.

[0357] In another example, when the first indication information indicates "1", the target public resource configuration is the first public resource configuration; when the first indication information indicates "0", the target public resource configuration is the second public resource configuration. The starting point of the effective time window of the target public resource configuration is the next cycle after the terminal device receives the first DCI format and the first delay time length has passed. The length of the effective time window of the target public resource configuration is preconfigured or predefined.

[0358] The terminal device listens to the first DCI format. If the current public resource configuration is the first public resource configuration, when the terminal device receives the first indication information indication "1" in the first DCI format, the terminal device determines that the target public resource configuration is the first public resource configuration; when the terminal device receives the first indication information indication "0" in the first DCI format, starting from the next cycle after the first DCI format is received and the first delay time length has passed, the terminal device determines that the target public resource configuration is the second public resource configuration. If the current public resource configuration is the second public resource configuration, when the terminal device receives the first indication information indication "0" in the first DCI format, the terminal device determines that the target public resource configuration is the second public resource configuration; when the terminal device receives the first indication information indication "1" in the first DCI format, starting from the next cycle after the first DCI format is received and the first delay time length has passed, the terminal device determines that the target public resource configuration is the first public resource configuration.

[0359] Resource determination method 3
