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

[0299] 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.

[0300] 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.

[0301] 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.

[0302] Optionally, the WUS signal may be used in radio resource control (RRC) connected, inactive, idle, and other states.

[0303] In a possible embodiment, MR sleep states include four types: ultra-deep sleep, deep sleep, light sleep, and micro sleep.

[0304] 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.

[0305] 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.

[0306] 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.

[0307] In a possible embodiment, the LP WUR operates in the following two ways:

[0308] 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.

[0309] 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.

[0310] In one possible embodiment, a base station in the network can wake up LP WUS-supported terminals in the cell or change their sleep state by sending an LP WUS. For LP WUS-supported terminals, at least one LP WUS signal is received via an LP WUR, and the MR wakes up or changes its sleep state based on the information carried in the received LP WUS signal.

[0311] 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.

[0312] In one possible embodiment, there are potentially many ways to design the LP WUR.

[0313] Alternatively, the LP WUS that follows the simple principle will not have a high coverage and will be more susceptible to interference from the external environment, but it has a more obvious advantage in energy saving.

[0314] Alternatively, OFDM-based LP WUS will have higher coverage, support more functions, and have higher reliability, but the design of LP WUR is more complex and the power consumption will be higher (ON state power consumption is currently assumed to be two orders of magnitude higher than the former).

[0315] In a possible embodiment, two or more LP WUR designs are supported by the terminal and the base station. Optionally, the base station needs to determine the LP WUR capabilities of the terminals in the cell so as to send the LP WUR to the terminals in an appropriate manner.

[0316] In one possible embodiment, the terminal reports its UE capabilities, allowing the base station to understand the LP WUS formats that the terminal can receive. The UE capabilities can be described from the perspective of the LP WUS transmission format or the LP WUR capabilities. Alternatively, if the UE capabilities are not reported, a default determination is made.

[0317] In a possible embodiment, a design following the principle of simplicity may have difficulty supporting radio resource management (RRM) measurements.

[0318] In a possible embodiment, a LP WUR capable of decoding OFDM does not necessarily need to support RRM measurement.

[0319] Optionally, whether the terminal supports RRM measurement of LP WUR requires definition of UE capabilities.

[0320] In one possible embodiment, whether MR needs to be enabled for RRM measurements after supporting LP WUR RRM measurements is further confirmed. For example, if LP WUR capabilities support complete RRM measurements, is MR also required to perform RRM measurements? If MR is enabled for RRM measurements, this means that LP WUR is only performing an auxiliary function.
