The CU-DU structure can be used to split the protocol layer of the access network device, with the functions of some protocol layers centrally controlled by the CU, and the functions of the remaining part or all of the protocol layers distributed in the DU, which is centrally controlled by the CU, but is not limited to this.

Ordinary technicians in this field can know that with the evolution of the system architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solution proposed in the embodiment of the present disclosure is also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0216] The embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE-Advanced (LTE-A), LTE-Beyond (LTE-B), SUPER 3G, IMT-Advanced, 4th generation mobile communication system (4G), 5th generation mobile communication system (5G), 5G new radio (NR), future radio access (FRA), new radio access technology (RAT), new radio (NR), new radio access (NX), future generation radio access (FX), Global System for Mobile communications (GSM (registered trademark)), CDMA2000, Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.20, Ultra-WideBand (UWB), Bluetooth (registered trademark), Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) networks, Device-to-Device (D2D) systems, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) systems, Internet of Things (IoT) systems, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X), systems utilizing other communication methods, and next-generation systems based on and extending these methods. Furthermore, multiple systems may be combined (for example, a combination of LTE or LTE-A with 5G).

[0217] In the disclosed embodiments, a low-power (LP) wake-up signal (WUS) is introduced into the communication standard. This LP WUS is received using a separate receiver, referred to as a low-power wake-up radio (LPWUR). The terminal requires a main radio (MR) to properly process downlink and / or uplink data.

[0218] In a possible embodiment, when the terminal receives a WUS and the WUS indicates wake-up, the terminal turns on a primary radio to receive and process downlink and / or uplink signals.

[0219] In a possible embodiment, if the terminal does not receive a WUS signal, or the WUS signal received by the terminal indicates not to wake up, the terminal will maintain the main radio sleep state.

[0220] Optionally, the WUS signal may be used in radio resource control (RRC) connected, inactive, idle, and other states.

[0221] In a possible embodiment, MR sleep states include four types: ultra-deep sleep, deep sleep, light sleep, and micro sleep.

[0222] One of the design principles of the LP WUR is simplicity. This requires ensuring low power consumption when the LP WUR is on. Optionally, the LP WUR uses envelope detection to determine the information carried by the received LP WUS signal.

[0223] In one possible embodiment, envelope detection includes amplitude detection or energy detection. Specifically, the terminal determines the specific information carried by the LP WUS signal by measuring the amplitude or energy of the LP WUS signal sent to the base station. Under this design principle, multi-carrier on-off keying (MC-OOK), frequency-shift keying (FSK), and amplitude-shift keying (ASK) become candidate modulation schemes for the LP WUS.

[0224] In one possible embodiment, considering that a design based on simplicity typically results in a lower signal coverage range, an LP WUS design based on orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is also considered. In this case, the LP WUR design needs to have certain decoding capabilities to receive and decode OFDM-based wireless signals, and the LP WUS has a wider coverage range. In the ON state, the LP WUR consumes less power than the MR, but consumes more power than the envelope detection LP WUR.

[0225] In a possible embodiment, the LP WUR operates in the following two ways:

[0226] The always-on mode means that the LP WUR is always in the on state. In this embodiment, the OFDM-based LP WUR will cause the LP WUR to consume relatively high power when in the on state, which is not conducive to power saving of the terminal.

[0227] The duty cycle mode is to turn on the LP WUR in certain time periods and turn off the LP WUR in other time periods. In this embodiment, the power consumption of the LP WUR can be further reduced in the duty cycle mode.

[0228] In one possible embodiment, a base station in the network can wake up UEs supporting LP WUS in the cell or change their sleep state by sending an LP WUS. For UEs supporting LP WUS, the UE receives at least one LP WUS signal via an LP WUR and wakes up or changes the sleep state of the MR based on the information carried in the received LP WUS signal.

[0229] Optionally, the change of MR's sleep state refers to the switching between ultra-deep sleep, deep sleep, light sleep, micro sleep and other states, and the awakening of MR refers to the transition of MR from any sleep state to the awake state.
