Description

Technical Field

[0001] (Cross - reference to related applications) This application claims the priority of Chinese Patent Application No. 202110357886.5 filed in China on April 1, 2021, and all of its content is incorporated herein by reference.

[0002] This application belongs to the field of communication technologies, and specifically relates to a transmission processing method, a terminal, and a network - side device.

Background Art

[0003] Extended Reality (XR) services belong to quasi - periodic services. That is, when jitter is not considered, service packets (which may be understood as data for one frame) arrive at equal intervals, and the intervals are small floating - point numbers. Moreover, XR services have very high requirements regarding delay.

[0004] Also, since service packets need to undergo processes such as data compression and rendering on the server side, there is a certain degree of jitter in the actual time when the service packets arrive at the base station side. The jitter may be understood as a deviation within a certain range before and after the time with respect to the desired periodic arrival position. Based on the prior art, it is possible to avoid the degradation of transmission performance due to the jitter of service packets, but at the same time, it also has a great impact on the energy - saving effect of the terminal. Similarly, when ensuring the energy - saving effect of the terminal, it also has a great impact on the transmission performance.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0020] Hereinafter, while referring to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly described. Naturally, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0021] In the description and claims of the present application, technical terms such as "first", "second", etc. do not describe a specific order or priority, but are used to distinguish similar objects. Note that technical terms used in this way may be interchangeable in some cases so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein. Moreover, the objects distinguished by "first" and "second" are usually of the same type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object may be one or more. Also, in the description and claims, "and / or" represents at least one of the connected objects, and the symbol " / " generally indicates that the related objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0022] It should be noted that the technology described in the embodiments of the present application is not limited to being used in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) / LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) system, but can also be used in other wireless communication systems such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), Single-carrier Frequency-Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA), and other systems. The technical terms "system" and "network" in the embodiments of the present application are often used interchangeably, and the described technology can be used not only in the above systems and wireless technologies but also in other systems and wireless technologies. In the following description, a New Radio (NR) system is described for illustrative purposes, and NR technical terms are used in most of the following description, but these technologies can also be applied to uses other than NR system applications such as 6th Generation (6G) communication systems.

[0023] FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a wireless communication system applicable to an embodiment of the present application. The wireless communication system includes a terminal 11 and a network-side device 12. Among them, the terminal 11 is also called a terminal device or a user equipment (UE), and may be a terminal-side device such as a mobile phone, a tablet personal computer, a laptop computer (also called a notebook computer), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a personal digital assistant, a personal digital assistant, a netbook, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a mobile Internet device (MID), a wearable device, or a vehicle user equipment (VUE), a pedestrian user equipment (PUE). The wearable device includes a smart watch, a bracelet, earphones, glasses, etc. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the specific type of the terminal 11 is not limited. The network-side device 12 may be a base station or a core network. The base station is also called a Node B, an evolved Node B, an access point, a base transceiver station (BTS), a radio base station, a radio transceiver, a basic service set (BSS), an extended service set (ESS), a B node, an evolved Node B (eNB), a home Node B, a home evolved Node B, a wireless local area network (WLAN) access point, a wireless fidelity (WiFi) node, a transmitting and receiving point (TRP), or other appropriate technical terms in this field.As long as the same technical effect is achieved, the base station is not limited to specific technical terms. It should be noted that the base station in the NR system in the embodiments of the present application is merely an example, and the specific type of the base station is not limited.

[0024] It should be known that the XR service belongs to a pseudo-periodic service, that is, service packets arrive at equal intervals, and the interval is a small floating-point number (non-positive integer) (for example, 30 FPS (FPS refers to the number of frames per second) 33.33 ms, 60 FPS 16.67 ms, 120 FPS 8.33 ms). Also, the XR service has very high requirements regarding delay, and its wireless transmission delay budget (Packet Delay Budget, PDB) is about 10 ms.

[0025] However, since service packets need to undergo processes such as data compression and rendering on the server side, there is a certain degree of jitter in the actual time when the service packets arrive at the base station side. The jitter can be understood as the deviation within a certain range before and after the time relative to the desired periodic arrival position. The deviation of jitter follows a truncated Gaussian distribution, and the range of deviation is ±4 ms before and after the time position when the pseudo-periodic service packet arrives.

[0026] For example, if the time when a packet arrives at the base station pseudo-periodically is n (the unit is, for example, ms), due to the influence of jitter, the actual arrival time of the packet is n + j, where j is the magnitude of jitter. For example, when the jitter is -1 ms, the actual arrival time of the packet that should arrive at time n is n - 1 ms.

[0027] In addition, in order to reduce the reception activity in the idle state of Radio Resource Control (RRC), actually turning off the Radio Frequency (RF) module and the MODEM module to greatly reduce the power consumption of communication reception can be achieved by incorporating a receiver with power close to "zero" into the receiving module of the terminal. It should also be known that for this receiver with power close to "zero", complex signal detection of the RF module (such as amplification, filtering, quantization, etc.) and signal processing of the MODEM are not required, and passive matched filtering and signal processing with low power consumption are sufficient. On the base station side, the reception of the activation announcement by the receiver with power close to "zero" can be activated by an on-demand trigger of the wake-up signal, for example, triggering a series of processes inside the terminal such as turning on modules such as the radio frequency transceiver module and the baseband processing module. Such a wake-up signal is usually, for example, a relatively simple on-off keying signal. In this way, the wake-up announcement can be notified to the receiver through processes such as simple energy detection and subsequent possible array detection and identification.

[0028] Based on the above description of the receiver with power close to "zero", the wake-up signal according to the present application may also be received by the above receiver with power close to "zero".

[0029] In the following, with reference to the drawings, the transmission processing method provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail by several embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0030] As shown in FIG. 2, the transmission processing method according to the embodiments of the present application includes the following steps.

[0031] Step 201: The terminal acquires the setting information of the wake-up signal.

[0032] Here, the configuration information is used for monitoring the wake-up signal by the terminal within the first period. The configuration information includes at least one of a wake-up signal type, a transmission configuration, a monitoring start time, a monitoring on-duration, a monitoring timing, and a monitoring period.

[0033] Optionally, the above configuration information includes information regarding information related to service packets.

[0034] It should be noted that the start time of the monitoring on-duration, the end time of the monitoring, and the intermediate time of the monitoring on-duration that have the same technical effect as the monitoring start time also belong to the protection scope of this embodiment. Also, the monitoring on-duration is also referred to as a monitoring time window.

[0035] Step 202: Within the first period, the terminal monitors the wake-up signal according to the configuration information. Among them, the first period is a period during which the monitoring of the first Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) is skipped.

[0036] In this way, according to steps 201 and 202, within the period when the monitoring of the first PDCCH is skipped, the terminal monitors the wake-up signal according to the obtained configuration information of the wake-up signal. The embodiment of the present application realizes timely processing of data within the period when the monitoring of the first PDCCH is skipped by monitoring the wake-up signal by the terminal within the period when the monitoring of the first PDCCH is skipped, reduces the transmission delay of this part of the packet, and improves the transmission performance. Also, the energy consumed by the terminal for monitoring the wake-up signal is very limited. Therefore, according to the embodiment of the present application, it is possible to ensure the data transmission performance and not reduce the technical effect of energy saving gain.

[0037] Specifically, since there is jitter in the XR service packet, data may arrive during the period when the monitoring of the first PDCCH is skipped. In this way, the terminal executes the above steps and monitors the wake-up signal, so as to achieve timely processing of the data, reduce the transmission delay of this part of the packet, and improve the transmission performance.

[0038] In this embodiment, the wake-up signal type is associated with the behavior and / or service type and priority executed after the wake-up signal is monitored. The transmission setting includes one or more of the time-frequency resources, sub-carrier settings, arrays, and powers occupied by the wake-up signal. The wake-up signal array may be a target reference signal (for example, a Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) array), and of course, it may also be a newly defined array.

[0039] It should be noted that the start point of monitoring the wake-up signal may be understood as the start point of the monitoring on duration. The monitoring on duration may be understood as the monitoring range and corresponds to one monitoring time window or detection window.

[0040] Optionally, the start point of the monitoring is associated with at least one of the service packet pseudo-period arrival position, the service packet jitter range, and the start position of the discontinuous reception (DRX) on duration.

[0041] That is, the monitoring start point may be, for example, the service packet pseudo-period arrival position, the DRX on-duration start position, or a position obtained by both the service packet pseudo-period arrival position and the service packet jitter range. For example, the monitoring start point is the maximum jitter position before the service packet pseudo-period arrival position (i.e., the position with a negative jitter length).

[0042] In addition, the service packet pseudo-period arrival position refers to the arrival position of the desired period of the service packet, that is, the arrival position of the period when data jitter is not considered or there is no data jitter.

[0043] Optionally, within the monitoring on-duration, there is one or more monitoring timings.

[0044] Of course, the monitoring timing is set based on the characteristics of the service. For example, for the XR service, the monitoring timing of the wake-up signal within a specific time range before and after the service packet pseudo-period arrival position is denser than the monitoring timing outside the specific time range.

[0045] Optionally, the monitoring on-duration is associated with at least one of the service packet jitter range, the positive jitter range of the service packet, and the negative jitter range of the service packet.

[0046] Among them, the positive jitter range of the service packet is the jitter range after the service packet pseudo-period arrival position of the service packet, for example, 4 ms. The negative jitter range of the service packet is the jitter range before the service packet pseudo-period arrival position of the service packet, for example, -4 ms. From both the positive jitter range and the negative jitter range of the service packet, it can be seen that the service packet jitter range, that is, the service packet jitter range is [-4, 4] ms.

[0047] Optionally, the monitoring period is associated with at least one of the DRX period and the service packet pseudo period.

[0048] That is, the monitoring period of the wake-up signal may be the DRX period, the service packet pseudo period, or a new period based on the DRX period or the service packet pseudo period. The terminal can periodically monitor the wake-up signal based on the set monitoring period.

[0049] In this embodiment, the period during which the first PDCCH monitoring is skipped, i.e., the first period, is the outside active time of discontinuous reception DRX, the first PDCCH monitoring skip time indicated by DCI, the active time of the inactive bandwidth part (BWP), and at least one of the active times of the inactive search space group in which the monitoring of the first PDCCH is skipped.

[0050] Here, the outside active time of DRX may be understood as the time other than the DRX active time.

[0051] Among them, when the first period is realized as at least two of the above times, as the first period, a period obtained by combining the at least two times may be adopted, or only the period in which the at least two times overlap may be adopted. For example, when there is an overlapping period T2~T3 between T1~T2 which is the DRX outside active time and T3~T4 which is the first PDCCH monitoring skip time indicated by DCI, the first period is T1~T4 or T2~T3.

[0052] Alternatively, optionally, in this embodiment, the method further comprises: when the terminal monitors the wake-up signal, further comprising the step of performing a monitoring behavior of the downlink channel.

[0053] It can be understood that the monitoring behavior of the downlink channel is performed based on the monitored wake-up signal. For example, the terminal turns on modules such as a video transceiver module and a baseband processing module for use in monitoring.

[0054] In one embodiment, when the terminal monitors the wake-up signal at the first PDCCH monitoring skip time, the terminal performs a monitoring behavior of the downlink channel.

[0055] It should be noted that the following is the case. The difference between the wake-up indication in the above embodiment and the wake-up indication in the prior art is that in the prior art, the following is defined. The content indicated by the wake-up indication is whether to turn on the next DRX on-duration timer, that is, the behavior of the UE after monitoring the wake-up indication is to determine whether to monitor the PDCCH within the next DRX on-duration according to the indication by the wake-up indication. And the prerequisite for setting the wake-up indication is that DRX is set for the terminal, that is, the wake-up indication and the DRX setting are used in association.

[0056] However, in the present application, regardless of whether DRX is set for the terminal, when the terminal monitors the wake-up signal, it immediately or after a specific time interval performs a monitoring behavior of the downlink channel.

[0057] Considering different realizations of the downlink channel, optionally, in this embodiment, when the terminal monitors the wake-up signal, the step of performing the monitoring behavior of the downlink channel is as follows: Performing monitoring on a second PDCCH, and including at least one of performing monitoring on a physical downlink control channel PDSCH.

[0058] Here, the second PDCCH may be the same as or different from the first PDCCH. Also, the first PDCCH and / or the second PDCCH include a PDCCH equipped with a search space of a predetermined type, a PDCCH equipped with a format of predetermined downlink control information (DCI), a PDCCH associated with a predetermined control resource set (CORESET), and at least one of a PDCCH equipped with DCI scrambled by a predetermined radio network temporary identifier (RNTI).

[0059] For example, the above first PDCCH may include a PDCCH equipped with a type 3 common search space (CSS) and a PDCCH equipped with a user-specific search space (USS). Also, for example, the above first PDCCH does not include a PDCCH of DCI scrambled by a power saving-RNTI (PS-RNTI), that is, the monitoring of the DCI cannot be skipped.

[0060] Furthermore, optionally, the step of performing monitoring on the second PDCCH is Steps of turning on a DRX on-duration timer or a DRX inactivity timer, Steps of switching to a non-idle BWP, Steps of switching to a non-idle search space group, Steps of stopping a running first timer, wherein within the execution time of the first timer, the terminal skips monitoring of a first PDCCH, and including at least one of steps of stopping execution of an instruction to skip monitoring of a first PDCCH.

[0061] That is, monitoring of a second PDCCH can be realized by at least one of the above steps, and at least one of the above steps may be understood as a method for realizing monitoring of a second PDCCH.

[0062] Here, by turning on the DRX on-duration timer, an effect of dynamically adjusting the DRX on-duration start time according to whether a wake-up signal is detected can be realized.

[0063] When monitoring the wake-up signal, execute monitoring of a PDSCH. Optionally, the step of executing monitoring of a PDSCH includes steps of receiving a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) PDSCH.

[0064] Here, the SPS PDSCH may include at least one of a preset SPS PDSCH, an SPS PDSCH corresponding to a predetermined logical channel priority, and an SPS PDSCH corresponding to a predetermined quality of service (QoS).

[0065] Optionally, the wake-up signal type is associated with the monitoring behavior of the downlink channel.

[0066] Thus, when monitoring the wake-up signal, specifically, based on the wake-up signal type of the wake-up signal, the monitoring behavior of the relevant downlink channel may be executed.

[0067] Optionally, the wake-up signal type is associated with the service type and priority.

[0068] Thus, different wake-up signal types may be associated with different service types or service priorities. For example, the wake-up signal type is associated with a service with a predetermined QoS requirement or priority, the wake-up signal type is associated with a service with a predetermined logical channel priority, the wake-up signal type is associated with a predetermined service such as an XR service, and the wake-up signal type is associated with the base layer or enhancement layer of adaptive transmission. For example, wake-up signal type 1 indicates that wake-up signal 1 is set for the XR service, and wake-up signal type 1 is associated with the monitoring behavior of the target PDCCH (PDCCH related to the XR service). In this case, when wake-up signal 1 is monitored, the monitoring behavior of the target PDCCH is executed.

[0069] What should be explained is as follows. In this embodiment, optionally, in the case of monitoring the wake-up signal, when the wake-up signal is detected, or when an indication of wake-up by the wake-up signal is detected.

[0070] Thus, when the wake-up signal is detected, the terminal performs the monitoring behavior of the downlink channel. Of course, when the wake-up signal further indicates whether to perform wake-up, the terminal needs to perform the monitoring behavior of the downlink channel only when it detects the wake-up instruction by the wake-up signal.

[0071] Optionally, in the case where the wake-up signal is detected, when the currently detected signal array is compared with the wake-up signal array and the comparison is successful, it is determined that the wake-up signal is detected, or when the signal strength of the currently detected signal is compared with a predetermined detection threshold and the signal strength of the currently detected signal is equal to or greater than the predetermined detection threshold, it is determined that the wake-up signal is detected.

[0072] That is, it can be determined whether the wake-up signal is detected by comparing the signal arrays or comparing the signal strength with the predetermined detection threshold. Among them, wake-up signals with different service priorities correspond to different predetermined detection thresholds. For example, the predetermined detection threshold corresponding to the base layer is relatively low, and the predetermined detection threshold corresponding to the enhancement layer (i.e., the requirement for channel quality is higher) is relatively high. Specifically, the predetermined detection threshold may be set by the network-side device.

[0073] In addition, the following points also need to be explained. In this embodiment, optionally, when the terminal monitors the wake-up signal, the step of performing the monitoring behavior of the downlink channel is including the step of performing the monitoring behavior of the downlink channel at a first time point after the terminal monitors the wake-up signal, and the time interval between the first time point and the time point when the wake-up signal is monitored is set or defined.

[0074] That is, there is a certain delay from the time when the terminal monitors the wake-up signal to the time when the terminal executes the monitoring behavior of the downlink channel, and this delay may be understood as a conversion delay. This conversion delay (i.e., the time interval between the first time point and the time when the wake-up signal is monitored) may be set or defined by the network-side device, or may be predefined. For example, when the network-side device does not set or indicate the conversion delay, the terminal executes the monitoring behavior of the downlink channel X time units after the end time point based on the end time point of the time unit (e.g., symbol or slot) where the wake-up signal is monitored. X is 1 or more.

[0075] Among them, the time interval may be associated with the sub-carrier spacing (SCS) level.

[0076] Optionally, the method further includes a step in which the terminal does not receive and / or transmit within the time interval.

[0077] That is, the terminal does not perform any reception and / or transmission within the time interval.

[0078] Optionally, in this embodiment, the wake-up signal carries indication information regarding the monitoring behavior of the downlink channel. The step of executing the monitoring behavior of the downlink channel includes a step in which the terminal executes the monitoring behavior of the downlink channel according to the indication information.

[0079] That is, when the terminal monitors a wake-up signal, based on the instruction information carried in the wake-up signal, according to the relevance between the instruction information and the downlink channel monitoring behavior, the terminal executes the monitoring behavior of the corresponding downlink channel.

[0080] For example, when the instruction information of downlink channel monitoring behavior 1 is carried in the wake-up signal, and the downlink channel monitoring behavior 1 is the behavior of switching to non-inactive BWP2, when the terminal monitors the wake-up signal, it switches to non-inactive BWP2 and monitors the PDCCH.

[0081] Optionally, in this embodiment, the method further includes: When the terminal does not monitor the wake-up signal at N consecutive monitoring timings, the step of the terminal stopping monitoring the subsequent wake-up signal, where N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0082] Here, when the wake-up signal is not monitored at N consecutive monitoring timings, by stopping monitoring the subsequent wake-up signal, the power consumption of continuous monitoring can be avoided.

[0083] Of course, not monitoring the wake-up signal may mean not detecting the wake-up signal, or the detected wake-up signal may indicate not performing wake-up. Among them, not detecting the wake-up signal means that the signal sequence is not matched, or the signal strength does not meet the predetermined detection threshold.

[0084] Also, the following points should also be explained. Optionally, in this embodiment, the method further includes: During a second period, the step that the terminal does not monitor the wake-up signal. The second period is DRX active time, the first PDCCH monitoring time, the non-idle BWP active time, and includes at least one of the non-idle search space group active times.

[0085] Power consumption is saved because the terminal does not monitor the wake-up signal during the second period as described above.

[0086] Also, in this embodiment, optionally, the wake-up signal is a terminal-specific wake-up signal or a group-common wake-up signal.

[0087] Here, the terminal-specific wake-up signal is a wake-up signal used to wake up a specific terminal. The group-common wake-up signal is a wake-up signal used to instruct a group of terminals.

[0088] Hereinafter, the application of the method according to the embodiments of the present application will be described with specific scenarios.

[0089] Scene 1: As shown in Figure 3, the wake-up signal is set by the network-side device. The monitoring start position of the wake-up signal is set relative to the pseudo-period arrival position t5 of the XR downlink video (DL video) service packet (for example, the service period (t0~t5) is 16.67 ms), and the monitoring start position of the wake-up signal is set at a position t2 that is jitter length before the pseudo-period arrival position t5 of the service packet. The monitoring on-duration of the wake-up signal is equal to the jitter range of the XR DL video service packet, and the jitter range is ±4 ms. At this time, the monitoring on-duration (t2~t6) corresponds to one detection window, and the center position of the window is the pseudo-period arrival position t5 of the service packet. The monitoring period of the wake-up signal is equal to the pseudo-period of the XR DL video service packet.

[0090] At time t1, the terminal receives a PDCCH skipping command sent by the network-side device. This command instructs to skip the monitoring of the PDCCH until the position where the next pseudo-period packet arrives.

[0091] The terminal performs the monitoring of the wake-up signal within the corresponding wake-up signal monitoring timing and monitoring on-duration in the PDCCH non-monitoring state (that is, the PDCCH skip on-duration instructed by the network-side device, that is, within the first period) according to the above setting of the wake-up signal.

[0092] Since there is jitter in the actual arrival time of the XR DL video service packet, as shown in Figure 3, jitter = -3 ms, that is, actually, the service packet arrived 3 ms earlier than the expected time. Therefore, after receiving the service packet, the network-side device needs to immediately wake up the terminal that is currently in the PDCCH monitoring skip state and perform subsequent data scheduling.

[0093] For example, in Figure 3, when the terminal detects an indication to wake up by the wake-up signal at the monitoring timing of a certain wake-up signal (i.e., the monitoring timing at time t3), it starts to transition to the PDCCH monitoring state (starts to execute monitoring for the PDCCH). As steps, for example, steps of turning on modules such as the radio frequency transceiver module and the baseband processing module are included. Among them, during the monitoring on duration (t2~t6), the monitoring timing after the monitoring timing at time t3 is the monitoring timing of an invalid wake-up signal.

[0094] Here, the conversion delay (i.e., Δt, Δt = t4 - t3), the conversion delay based on the default depends on the SCS level. When the current SCS = 30 kHz, it can be determined that the conversion delay is equal to one slot. That is, one slot after the time when the indication to wake up by the wake-up signal is received, the terminal ends the current PDCCH skip earlier and enters the PDCCH monitoring state.

[0095] In this way, for XR DL video service packets with jitter, the network-side device can wake up the terminal in the PDCCH monitoring skip state earlier by means of the wake-up signal of the corresponding configuration information to perform the transmission of service packets. Thereby, the data transmission delay due to energy saving is reduced, and it is avoided that packets cause packet loss due to scheduling delay exceeding the Packet Delay Budget (PDB), achieving a balance between energy saving and data transmission performance.

[0096] Scene 2: As shown in Figure 4, the network-side device sets DRX such as, for example, the DRX on-duration timer and the DRX period (t0 to t4). The network-side device sets a wake-up signal, and the monitoring start position of the wake-up signal is set with respect to the DRX start position (for example, the DRX period is 160 ms), and the monitoring start position of the wake-up signal is set to the position t1 before the DRX start position t4. The monitoring on-duration of the wake-up signal is 10 ms. The monitoring period of the wake-up signal is equal to the DRX period.

[0097] The terminal monitors the wake-up signal within the corresponding wake-up signal monitoring timing and monitoring on-duration during DRX outside active time (that is, the PDCCH skip on-duration indicated by the network-side device, that is, within the first period) according to the above setting of the wake-up signal.

[0098] Service packets may arrive during the DRX off stage (DRX outside active time). Therefore, after the network-side device receives the service packet, if there is a subsequent wake-up signal timing, it is necessary to wake up the terminal currently in the PDCCH monitoring skip state to perform subsequent data scheduling.

[0099] For example, in FIG. 4, at the monitoring timing of a certain wake-up signal (i.e., the monitoring timing at time t2), the terminal detects an instruction to wake up by the wake-up signal. Therefore, the terminal starts to transition to the PDCCH monitoring state (starts to execute monitoring for the PDCCH). The method is to immediately turn on the DRX inactivity timer after the conversion delay (i.e., at time t3). The network-side device may perform operations such as transmitting scheduling data by the PDCCH within the timer.

[0100] In this way, for the possibility that the service packet arrives within the DRX outside active time, the network-side device can wake up the terminal in the dormant state earlier by the wake-up signal of the corresponding configuration information to perform the transmission of the service packet. Thereby, the data transmission delay due to energy saving is reduced, the balance between energy saving and data transmission performance is achieved, and it is suitable for service transmissions sensitive to delay.
