Furthermore, multiple systems may be combined (for example, a combination of LTE or LTE-A with 5G).

[0263] 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.

[0264] 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.

[0265] 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.

[0266] Optionally, the WUS signal may be used in radio resource control (RRC) connected, inactive, idle, and other states.

[0267] In a possible embodiment, MR sleep states include four types: ultra-deep sleep, deep sleep, light sleep, and micro sleep.

[0268] 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.

[0269] In one possible embodiment, envelope detection includes amplitude detection or energy detection. That is, the terminal determines the specific information carried by the LP WUS by sending the amplitude or energy level of the LP WUS to the base station. Under this design principle, multi-carrier on-off keying (MC-OOK) modulation, frequency-shift keying (FSK) modulation, and amplitude-shift keying (ASK) modulation become candidate modulation modes for the LP WUS.

[0270] 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.

[0271] In a possible embodiment, the LP WUR operates in the following two ways:

[0272] 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 a lot of power when it is on, which is not conducive to power saving of the terminal.

[0273] 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.

[0274] In one possible embodiment, one of the operating modes of LP WUR is duty cycle, which can further save terminal power consumption. Unlike signaling based on downlink control information (DCI), the reception location of LP WUS is relatively flexible. The terminal and the base station have a basic time consensus on the LP WUS transmission location or the LP WUR on / off state. The terminal can also flexibly turn LP WUR on and off based on the above configuration of LP WUS to achieve further energy saving.

[0275] In one possible embodiment, a base station in the network can wake up UEs in the cell that support LP WUS or change their sleep state by sending an LP WUS. For UEs that support LP WUS, at least one LP WUS is received via an LP WUR and the UE wakes up or changes its sleep state based on the information carried in the received LP WUS.

[0276] Optionally, the change of MR's sleep state refers to switching between states such as ultra-deep sleep, deep sleep, light sleep, and micro sleep, and the awakening of MR refers to the transition of MR from any sleep state to an awake state.
