[0002] In the field of wireless communications, terminals in a disconnected state need to detect wake-up signals. In some scenarios, it is desirable to introduce a separate transceiver (ultra-low power wake-up receiver) to receive the wake-up signal. However, after introducing a separate transceiver into the UE, there is no solution to the terminal's operating status.

[0003] Summary of the Invention

[0007] A second aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a wake-up method, which is executed by a terminal and includes:

[0008] An LP-WUS is received that is sent in at least one initial BWP, wherein the LP-WUS is used to wake up a second transceiver of a terminal after a first transceiver of at least one type of terminal monitors the LP-WUS.

[0009] A third aspect of the present disclosure provides a wake-up device, including:

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1, which shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a wireless communication system provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 1, the wireless communication system is a communication system based on cellular mobile communication technology, and the wireless communication system may include: a plurality of UEs 11 and a plurality of access network elements 12.

[0033] UE 11 may refer to a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to a user. UE 11 may communicate with one or more core networks via a Radio Access Network (RAN). UE 11 may be an IoT UE, such as a sensor device, a mobile phone (or a "cellular" phone), and a computer with an IoT UE. For example, it may be a fixed, portable, pocket-sized, handheld, computer-built-in, or vehicle-mounted device. For example, a station (STA), a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a mobile station, a remote station, an access point, a remote terminal, an access terminal, a user terminal, a user agent, or user equipment (UE). Alternatively, UE 11 may be a device of an unmanned aerial vehicle. Alternatively, UE 11 may be an in-vehicle device, such as a driving computer with wireless communication capabilities, or a wireless communication device connected to an external driving computer. Alternatively, the UE 11 may also be a roadside device, for example, a street lamp, a traffic light, or other roadside device with a wireless communication function.

[0034] The access network element 12 may be a network-side device in a wireless communication system. The wireless communication system may be a fourth generation mobile communication technology (4G) system, also known as a long term evolution (LTE) system; or, the wireless communication system may be a 5G system, also known as a new radio (NR) system or a 5G NR system. Alternatively, the wireless communication system may be a next generation system of the 5G system. The access network in the 5G system may be referred to as a new generation radio access network (NG-RAN). Alternatively, an MTC system.

[0035] Among them, the access network element 12 can be an evolved access device (eNB) adopted in a 4G system. Alternatively, the access network element 12 can also be an access device (gNB) adopting a centralized distributed architecture in a 5G system. When the access network element 12 adopts a centralized distributed architecture, it usually includes a centralized unit (CU) and at least two distributed units (DU). The centralized unit is provided with a protocol stack of a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer, a radio link layer control protocol (RLC) layer, and a media access control (MAC) layer; the distributed unit is provided with a physical (PHY) layer protocol stack. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the specific implementation method of the access network element 12.

[0036] A wireless connection can be established between the access network element 12 and the UE 11 via a wireless air interface. In different implementations, the wireless air interface is a wireless air interface based on the fourth generation mobile communication network technology (4G) standard; or, the wireless air interface is a wireless air interface based on the fifth generation mobile communication network technology (5G) standard, for example, the wireless air interface is a new air interface; or, the wireless air interface can also be a wireless air interface based on the next generation mobile communication network technology standard of 5G.

[0037] In some embodiments, the wireless communication system may further include a core network element 13 .

[0038] Several access network elements 12 are respectively connected to a core network element 13. The core network element 13 may be a core network device in a wireless communication system, for example, the core network element 13 may be a mobility management entity (MME) in an evolved packet core (EPC). Alternatively, the core network device may be other core network devices, such as a Serving GateWay (SGW), a Public Data Network GateWay (PGW), a Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF), or a Home Subscriber Server (HSS); or the core network element 13 may be a core network device in 5G; for example, it may be a Policy Control Function (PCF), a Session Management Function (SMF), an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), a Unified Data Management (UDM), or a User Plane Function (UPF). The embodiments of this disclosure do not limit the implementation form of the core network element 13.

[0039] In some embodiments, a power saving signal is introduced for a connected UE; the power saving signal may be a wakeup signal or downlink control information for power saving (DCP). For example, if the UE detects the wakeup signal, it is determined that the UE needs to monitor the PDCCH; if the UE does not detect the wakeup signal, the UE skips monitoring the PDCCH.

[0040] In some embodiments, power-saving signals are introduced for idle UEs; these signals can be paging early indications (PEIs). PEIs can be configured before paging occasions (POs). For example, if a UE detects a power-saving signal, it monitors the paging DCI. If it does not detect a power-saving signal, it skips monitoring the paging DCI.

[0041] In some embodiments, enhancements are made for connected UEs by introducing a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) skipping mechanism. For example, if the UE detects DCI information indicating the PDCCH skipping mechanism, it determines to skip monitoring for a predetermined time or perform search space group switching.

[0042] In some embodiments, regardless of the type of power-saving signal, the terminal's modem is required to detect the power-saving signal. However, it is desirable to introduce a separate transceiver to receive the power-saving signal. The terminal's modem or main radio can only be awakened after the separate transceiver is awakened, otherwise the modem will remain in a sleep state.

[0043] In some embodiments, the network introduces two initial bandwidth parts (BWPs), namely, an initial BWP used by normal users and an initial BWP used by reduced-capability (Redcap) users. At this time, it is unclear at which initial BWP the LP-WUS signal is sent.

[0044] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a wake-up method, performed by a network device, comprising: sending an LP-WUS in at least one initial BWP, the LP-WUS being used to wake up at least one type of terminal. Optionally, waking up at least one type of terminal includes waking up a second transceiver of the at least one type of terminal.

[0045] As shown in FIG2 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a wake-up method, which is executed by a network device and includes:

[0046] Step S21: sending an LP-WUS in at least one initial BWP, wherein the LP-WUS is used to wake up a second transceiver of the terminal after being monitored by a first transceiver of at least one type of terminal.

[0047] In some embodiments, sending the LP-WUS in at least one initial BWP includes: sending the LP-WUS to at least one terminal in at least one initial BWP; or sending the LP-WUS to at least one type of terminal in at least one initial BWP.

[0048] Alternatively, the network device may be other functions or nodes flexibly deployed in the access network. Alternatively, the network device may be a base station of various types. For example, the base station may be at least one of the following: a 2G base station, a 3G base station, a 4G base station, a 5G base station, and other evolved base stations.

[0049] Optionally, the terminal may be, but is not limited to, the UE in the above-mentioned embodiment.

[0053] Exemplarily, the power consumption of the first type of terminal is higher than the power consumption of the second type of terminal.

[0054] Exemplarily, the restricted range of time-frequency domain resources scheduled for the first type of terminal is greater than the restricted range of time-frequency domain resources scheduled for the second type of terminal; or, the degree of restriction of time-frequency domain resources scheduled for the first type of terminal is higher than the degree of restriction of time-frequency domain resources scheduled for the second type of terminal.

[0055] In some embodiments, waking up the terminal may include waking up a second transceiver of the terminal. For example, the terminal includes a first transceiver and a second transceiver. After the first transceiver is awakened, the terminal monitors the LP-WUS through the first transceiver. If the LP-WUS is detected, the second transceiver is awakened.

[0056] Optionally, the power consumption of the first transceiver is less than that of the second transceiver. The power consumption of the first transceiver being less than that of the second transceiver may be determined by: the power consumed by the first transceiver to receive and / or transmit information is less than the power consumption consumed by the second transceiver to receive and / or transmit information. For example, the first transceiver consumes less power to decode each signal than the second transceiver consumes to decode the same signal.

[0057] Optionally, the structure of the first transceiver is very simple compared to that of the second transceiver. For example, the second transceiver may be a main transceiver of the terminal; the first transceiver is a separate transceiver (ultra-low power wake-up receiver) introduced by the terminal.

[0058] Optionally, the first transceiver has the functions of receiving and sending; the second transceiver has the functions of receiving and sending.

[0059] Optionally, the first transceiver may also be a first receiver, and / or the second transceiver may be a second receiver. Here, the first receiver has a receiving function, and / or the second receiver has a receiving function.

[0060] Optionally, the first transceiver is an auxiliary transceiver and the second transceiver is a main transceiver. Here, the auxiliary transceiver is used to assist the main transceiver in receiving and / or sending information.

[0061] In some embodiments, an initial BWP includes a first initial BWP and / or a second initial BWP.

[0062] Optionally, the first initial BWP may be an initial BWP configured by the network device. For example, the network device configures the first initial BWP through a system message; optionally, the network device configures the first initial BWP through a Master Information Block (MIB) or a System Message Block (SIB) X; X is an integer greater than 0. Optionally, the first initial BWP may include a first control resource set (Coreset0) and / or a synchronization signal block (SSB).

[0066] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a network device sends an LP-WUS in at least one initial BWP, wherein the LP-WUS is used to wake up a second transceiver of a terminal after being monitored by a first transceiver of at least one type of terminal. In this way, on the one hand, the second transceiver with relatively high power consumption can be woken up only after the relatively low-power first transceiver monitors the LP-WUS, thereby reducing the power consumption of the terminal. On the other hand, the LP-WUS can be sent in at least one initial BWP to wake up one or more types of terminals, thereby providing a specific terminal wake-up method.

[0067] It should be noted that those skilled in the art will understand that the method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be executed alone or together with some methods in the embodiments of the present disclosure or some methods in related technologies.

[0068] In some embodiments, sending the LP-WUS in at least one initial BWP includes sending different LP-WUS in different initial BWPs, wherein the different LP-WUS sent in different initial BWPs are used to wake up different types of terminals.

[0069] As shown in FIG3 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a wake-up method, which is executed by a network device and includes:

[0070] Step S31: sending different LP-WUS at different initial BWPs, wherein the different LP-WUS sent at different initial BWPs are used to wake up different types of terminals.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the initial BWP may be the initial BWP in the above embodiment; the LP-WUS may be the LP-WUS in the above embodiment; and the terminal may be the terminal in the above embodiment.

[0072] Optionally, the initial BWP includes a first initial BWP and / or a second initial BWP.

[0073] Optionally, the LP-WUS includes a first LP-WUS and / or a second LP-WUS. Optionally, the first LP-WUS is used to wake up a first type of terminal; and / or the second LP-WUS is used to wake up a second type of terminal.

[0074] Optionally, the terminal includes: a first type terminal and / or a second type terminal.

[0075] In some embodiments, sending different LP-WUS at different initial BWPs includes at least one of the following:

[0076] Sending first configuration information including a first LP-WUS in a first initial BWP, wherein the first LP-WUS sent in the first initial BWP is used to wake up a first type of terminal;

[0077] Second configuration information including a second LP-WUS is sent in the second initial BWP, wherein the second LP-WUS sent in the second initial BWP is used to wake up the second type terminal.

[0078] The present disclosure provides a wake-up method, which is performed by a network device and includes at least one of the following:

[0079] Sending first configuration information including a first LP-WUS in a first initial BWP, wherein the first LP-WUS sent in the first initial BWP is used to wake up a first type of terminal;

[0080] Second configuration information including a second LP-WUS is sent in the second initial BWP, wherein the second LP-WUS sent in the second initial BWP is used to wake up the second type terminal.

[0081] In some embodiments, the first LP-WUS and the second LP-WUS may each be indicated by one or more bits.

[0082] Optionally, the first LP-WUS is different from the second LP-WUS. For example, the first LP-WUS is "0" or "00"; and the second LP-WUS is "1" or "11".

[0083] Optionally, the first LP-WUS and the second LP-WUS are the same. For example, both the first LP-WUS and the second LP-WUS can be "0" or "11." Because the first LP-WUS and the second LP-WUS are sent with different initial BWPs, even if the first LP-WUS and the second LP-WUS are the same, they can indicate the wakeup of different types of terminals.

[0084] Optionally, sending the first configuration information including the first LP-WUS in the first initial BWP may include: sending the first LP-WUS in the first initial BWP; or sending the first configuration information in the first initial BWP, where the first configuration information includes the first LP-WUS.

[0085] Optionally, sending the second configuration information including the second LP-WUS in the second initial BWP may include: sending the second LP-WUS in the second initial BWP; or sending the second configuration information in the second initial BWP, where the second configuration information includes the second LP-WUS.

[0086] In some embodiments, the initial BWP includes a first set of control resources (Coreset0) and / or SSB.

[0087] Optionally, the first initial BWP includes a first control resource set (Coreset0) and / or an SSB. Exemplarily, the first initial BWP includes Coreset0 and / or an SSB, and a first LP-WUS or first configuration information is sent in the first initial BWP to wake up the first type of terminal; alternatively, the first initial BWP includes Coreset0 and / or an SSB, but the first initial BWP does not carry the first LP-WUS and is not used to wake up the first type of terminal.

[0088] Optionally, the second initial BWP includes the first control resource set (Coreset0) and / or SSB. Exemplarily, the second initial BWP includes Coreset0 and / or SSB, and sends a second LP-WUS or second configuration information in the second initial BWP to wake up the second type of terminal; alternatively, the second initial BWP includes Coreset0 and / or SSB, but does not carry the second LP-WUS and is not used to wake up the second type of terminal.

[0089] Optionally, the first configuration information includes time-frequency domain information for monitoring the first LP-WUS. Exemplarily, the time-frequency domain information indicates a time-frequency domain resource for transmitting the first LP-WUS. This allows the terminal to know which time-frequency domain resource to monitor the first LP-WUS, thereby improving a monitoring success rate.

[0090] Optionally, the second configuration information includes: time domain information for monitoring the second LP-WUS. Exemplarily, the time domain information is used to indicate the second LP-WUS. Exemplarily, the time domain information includes at least one of the following: a duty cycle and a configuration reference time point.

[0091] Optionally, the configuration reference time point may include at least one of the following: a PO offset value and a PEI offset value. Exemplarily, the PO offset value indicates an offset of the time domain resource where the second LP-WUS resides relative to the PO. Exemplarily, the PEI offset value indicates an offset of the time domain resource where the second LP-WUS resides relative to the PEI. Of course, in other embodiments, the configuration reference time point may also be an offset of the time domain resource where the second LP-WUS resides relative to any information in the paging message and / or the PEI.

[0092] Since the second configuration information includes the time domain information of the second LP-WUS, the second configuration information can be shared by multiple initial BWPs. In this way, the terminal can be instructed to monitor the second LP-WUS in a certain time domain resource and monitor the first LP-WUS in at least the initial BWP.

[0093] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, different initial BWPs may carry different LP-WUS or the same LP-WUS to indicate the wake-up of different types of terminals; thus, the wake-up of different types of terminals may be achieved.

[0094] In some embodiments, the LP-WUS is used to wake up one of the following:

[0095] All terminals monitoring the LP-WUS or at least some terminals monitoring the LP-WUS;

[0096] The designated terminals include at least one of the following: at least one group of terminals grouped according to PEI, or at least one group of terminals grouped according to PO.

[0097] Optionally, the designated terminal may be a terminal grouped according to a predetermined grouping rule. The predetermined grouping rule may be any grouping rule; for example, the predetermined grouping rule may be a rule for grouping according to the terminal's index or number, or a rule for grouping according to the operator to which the terminal belongs, etc. The predetermined grouping rule is not limited herein.

[0098] Optionally, the at least one group of terminals grouped according to the PEI is at least one designated group of terminals. Exemplarily, the PEI grouping can be divided into multiple groups, and the different values ​​of at least one bit in the LP-WUS and / or at least one different bit in the LP-WUS are used to indicate the at least one designated group of terminals. For example, the first bit in the LP-WUS is "1", which is used to wake up the first group of terminals in the PEI group, or the first bit in the LP-WUS is "0", which is not used to wake up the first group of terminals in the PEI group; and / or the second bit in the LP-WUS is "1", which is used to wake up the second group of terminals in the PEI group, or the second bit in the LP-WUS is "0", which is not used to wake up the second group of terminals in the PEI group.

[0099] Optionally, the at least one group of terminals grouped according to the PO group is at least one designated group of terminals. Exemplarily, the terminals can be divided into multiple groups according to the PO group, and the different values ​​of at least one bit in the LP-WUS and / or at least one different bit in the LP-WUS are used to indicate the at least one designated group of terminals. For example, the first bit in the LP-WUS is "1", which is used to wake up the first group of terminals in the PO group, or the first bit in the LP-WUS is "0", which is not used to wake up the first group of terminals in the PO group; and / or the second bit in the LP-WUS is "1", which is used to wake up the second group of terminals in the PO group, or the second bit in the LP-WUS is "0", which is not used to wake up the second group of terminals in the PO group.

[0100] Optionally, the LP-WUS is a first LP-WUS, and the first LP-WUS is used to wake up one of the following: all first-type terminals listening to the first LP-WUS or at least some first-type terminals listening to the first LP-WUS, and designated first-type terminals.

[0101] Optionally, the LP-WUS is a second LP-WUS, and the second LP-WUS is used to wake up one of the following: all second-type terminals listening to the second LP-WUS or at least some second-type terminals listening to the second LP-WUS, and designated second-type terminals.

[0102] In this way, LP-WUS can be used to wake up all or part of terminals of different types or at least one group of terminals according to certain grouping rules (according to PEI grouping or PO grouping), thereby realizing low-power wake-up of these terminals and saving power consumption of these terminals.

[0103] In some embodiments, a search space for paging messages and / or PEI is configured based on an initial BWP, but the initial BWP does not include an LP-WUS or does not include an LP-WUS configuration (e.g., first configuration information or second configuration information). The initial BWP is used by the terminal to monitor paging messages and / or PEI according to a paging mechanism. Optionally, the initial BWP includes a first initial BWP and / or a second initial BWP; and the LP-WUS includes a first LP-WUS and / or a second LP-WUS.

[0104] Thus, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, if the network device does not configure LP-WUS on the initial BWP, the initial BWP can enable the terminal to be paged according to the traditional paging mechanism, thereby waking up the terminal.

[0105] It should be noted that those skilled in the art will understand that the method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be executed alone or together with some methods in the embodiments of the present disclosure or some methods in related technologies.

[0106] In some embodiments, sending the LP-WUS in at least one initial BWP includes: sending the LP-WUS in an initial BWP, wherein the LP-WUS is used to wake up at least one type of terminal.

[0107] As shown in FIG4 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a wake-up method, which is executed by a network device and includes:

[0108] Step S41: Sending an LP-WUS in an initial BWP, wherein the LP-WUS is used to wake up at least one type of terminal.
