FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating an embodiment of a radio protocol architecture of a user plane 350 and a control plane 300. FIG. 3 illustrates the radio protocol architecture of the control plane 300 for a first node device (UE or gNB) and a second node device (gNB or UE) using three layers (Layer 1, Layer 2, and Layer 3). Layer 1 (L1 layer) is the lowest layer and implements various PHY (physical layer) signal processing functions. The L1 layer is referred to as PHY 301 in this specification. Layer 2 (L2 layer) 305 is above PHY 301 and is responsible for the link between the first node device and the second node device via PHY 301. The L2 layer 305 includes a MAC (Media Access Control) sublayer 302, an RLC (Radio Link Control) sublayer 303, and a PDCP (Packet Data Convergence Protocol) sublayer 304, which terminate at the second node device. The PDCP sublayer 304 provides multiplexing between different radio bearers and logical channels. The PDCP sublayer 304 also provides security by encrypting data packets and handover support between the second node device and the first node device. The RLC sublayer 303 provides segmentation and reassembly of upper layer data packets, retransmission of lost data packets, and reordering of data packets to compensate for out-of-order reception due to HARQ. The MAC sublayer 302 provides multiplexing between logical channels and transport channels. The MAC sublayer 302 is also responsible for allocating various radio resources (e.g., resource blocks) in one cell between the first node devices. The MAC sublayer 302 is also responsible for HARQ operations. The RRC (Radio Resource Control) sublayer 306 in Layer 3 (L3 layer) of the control plane 300 is responsible for obtaining radio resources (i.e., radio bearers) and configuring the lower layers using RRC signaling between the second node device and the first node device. The radio protocol architecture of the user plane 350 includes Layer 1 (L1 layer) and Layer 2 (L2 layer).The radio protocol architectures of the first and second node devices in the user plane 350 are substantially the same as those of the corresponding layers and sublayers of the control plane 300, i.e., the physical layer 351, the PDCP sublayer 354 of the L2 layer 355, the RLC sublayer 353 of the L2 layer 355, and the MAC sublayer 352 of the L2 layer 355, except that the PDCP sublayer 354 also provides header compression of upper layer data packets to reduce radio transmission overhead. The L2 layer 355 of the user plane 350 also includes a Service Data Adaptation Protocol (SDAP) sublayer 356, which supports service diversity. The first node device is responsible for mapping between the QoS stream and the data radio bearer (DRB) to provide the QoS stream. Although not shown in the figure, the first node device may have multiple upper layers above the L2 layer 355, including a network layer (e.g., an IP layer) that terminates at the P-GW on the network side and an application layer that terminates at the other end of the connection (e.g., a remote UE and a server, etc.).

[0261] In the DL (downlink), upper layer packets, such as the high layer information included in the first information block in the present application and the high layer information included in the first signaling (if the first signaling includes high layer information), are provided to the controller / processor 440. The controller / processor 440 implements functions of the L2 layer and above. In the DL, the controller / processor 440 provides packet header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, multiplexing between logical channels and transport channels, and radio resource allocation to the first node device 450 based on various priority metrics. The controller / processor 440 is also responsible for HARQ operations, retransmission of lost packets, and signaling to the first node device 450. For example, the high layer information included in the first information block in the present application and the high layer information included in the first signaling (if the first signaling includes high layer information) are generated in the controller / processor 440. The transmit processor 415 implements various signal processing functions of the L1 layer (i.e., physical layer), including encoding, interleaving, scrambling, modulation, power control / allocation, precoding, and physical layer control signaling generation. For example, the generation of the physical layer signal carrying the first information block in this application, the physical layer signals for the W1 wake-up signals, and the physical layer signal corresponding to the first signaling is completed in the transmit processor 415. The generated modulation symbols are split into parallel streams, and each stream is mapped to a corresponding multicarrier subcarrier and / or multicarrier symbol. Then, the transmit processor 415 maps the stream to the antenna 420 via the transmit device 416 for transmission in the form of a radio frequency signal. At the receiving end, each receive device 456 receives the radio frequency signal via its corresponding antenna 460. Each receive device 456 recovers the baseband information modulated onto the radio frequency carrier and provides the baseband information to the receive processor 452. The receive processor 452 implements various signal reception processing functions of the L1 layer. The signal reception processing function is the first information block in this application, W1 wake The second node device 410 performs the following steps: monitoring the up signal and the physical layer signal carrying the first signaling; demodulating the multi-carrier symbols in the multi-carrier symbol stream based on various modulation solutions (e.g., binary phase shift keying (BPSK), quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK)); then performing scrambling, decoding, and interleaving to recover the data or control transmitted on the physical channel by the second node device 410; and providing the data and control signals to the controller / processor 490. The controller / processor 490 is responsible for the L2 layer and above and interprets the higher layer information included in the first information block and the higher layer information included in the first signaling (if the first signaling includes higher layer information). The controller / processor may be associated with a memory 480 that stores program code and data. The memory 480 may be referred to as a computer-readable medium.

[0262] For uplink (UL) transmissions, similar to downlink transmissions, higher layer information is generated by the controller / processor 490, including the high layer information contained in a second information block of the present application, which is then implemented by the transmit processor 455 for various signal transmit processing functions of the L1 layer (i.e., physical layer). Generation of a physical layer signal carrying the second information block is completed by the transmit processor 455, which then maps the signal to the antennas 460 via the transmit device 456 for transmission in the form of a radio frequency signal. The receive devices 416 receive the radio frequency signals via their corresponding antennas 420. Each receive device 416 recovers the baseband information modulated onto a radio frequency carrier and provides the baseband information to the receive processor 412. The receive processor 412 implements various signal receive processing functions of the L1 layer (i.e., physical layer), including receive processing of the physical layer signal carrying the second information block and subsequently providing data and / or control signals to the controller / processor 440. The controller / processor 440 implements L2 layer functionality, including interpreting the higher layer information carried by the second information block. The controller / processor may be associated with a cache 430 that stores program code and data. The cache 430 may be a computer-readable medium.
