[0133] S2101: Activate the second transceiver.

[0134] In some embodiments, the terminal may be various types of terminals.

[0135] Exemplarily, the terminal has a first transceiver and a second transceiver.

[0136] In some embodiments, the power consumption of the first transceiver is lower than the power consumption of the second transceiver. For example, the power consumption of the first transceiver in an operating state is lower than the power consumption of the second transceiver in an operating state.

[0137] In some embodiments, the transmission capability of the second transceiver is greater than the transmission capability of the first transceiver.

[0138] In some embodiments, the sensitivity of the first transceiver is lower than the sensitivity of the second transceiver.

[0139] In some embodiments, the first transceiver supports reception alone and is a separate receiver. For example, the first transceiver may include but is not limited to LP-WUR.

[0140] In some other embodiments, the second transceiver may be a main radio (MR) of the terminal.

[0141] In some embodiments, the terminal may shut down or put the second transceiver into hibernation to save power consumption. At this time, the first transceiver monitors the first signal sent by the access network device, and the terminal determines whether to wake up the MR based on the monitoring of the first signal.

[0142] In some embodiments, the terminal detects a triggering event when the first transceiver monitors the first signal and activates the second transceiver.

[0143] In some embodiments, the terminal in the connected state detects a triggering event while using the first transceiver to listen to the first signal, and activates the second transceiver when the triggering event is detected.

[0144] In some embodiments, the state in which the terminal in the connected state uses the first transceiver to monitor the power-saving signal is a special operating mode of the terminal. The special operating mode of the terminal can be considered a low power consumption mode of the terminal. This mode can be referred to as the LP-WUS monitoring mode.

[0145] The power-saving signal monitored by the first transceiver may include but is not limited to the first signal, and in specific implementations, may also include the second signal and / or the third signal.

[0146] In some embodiments, the first signal may be a physical layer signal that has very low power consumption for the terminal.

[0147] In some embodiments, the first signal may be a low-power synchronizing signal (LP-SS). This allows the terminal to maintain synchronization with the network device with lower power consumption. For example, the terminal may use the first transceiver to monitor the LP-SS signal, and maintain at least downlink synchronization with the network device based on the LP-SS monitoring.

[0148] In some embodiments, the second signal may be a low power wake-up signal (Low Power Wake Up Signal, LP-WUS).

[0149] In some embodiments, the third signal may be downlink control information for power saving (DCP) or paging early indication (PEI).

[0150] In some embodiments, the terminal may enter a mode of using the first transceiver to monitor the power saving signal according to a network instruction sent by the network device.

[0151] In some embodiments, the network instruction may explicitly or implicitly instruct the terminal to switch to a mode in which the first transceiver listens for the power saving signal.

[0152] In other embodiments, when the timer for the terminal to use the second transceiver for data transmission times out, or the terminal has no data to transmit using the second transceiver, or the terminal has no data for a specific period of time, the terminal automatically enters a mode of using the first transceiver to monitor the power-saving signal.

[0153] When the terminal uses the first transceiver to monitor the power saving signal, the second transceiver of the terminal may be in a closed or dormant state.

[0154] In some embodiments, activating the second transceiver may be equivalent to the terminal exiting a state in which the terminal uses the first transceiver to listen for a power saving signal.

[0155] In some embodiments, when the first transceiver monitors the first signal, it is detected that the signal quality of the first signal monitored by the first transceiver is lower than a first threshold, and the second transceiver is activated.

[0156] In some embodiments, upon detecting that the first transceiver listens to the second signal while the first transceiver listens to the first signal, the second transceiver is activated.

[0157] In some embodiments, when the first transceiver monitors the first signal, it is detected that the first timer of the terminal has expired, and the second transceiver is activated.

[0158] In some embodiments, when the first transceiver monitors the first signal, it is detected that the terminal has data to send, and the second transceiver is activated.

[0159] In some embodiments, when the first transceiver monitors the first signal, it determines a measurement value reflecting signal quality, such as a received power and / or a signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio of the first signal.

[0160] When the measured value is lower than the first threshold, it indicates that the terminal may have moved to the edge of the current cell or into the coverage of an adjacent cell. In this case, the terminal may need to activate a second transceiver with stronger transceiver capabilities to perform cell switching and / or cell reselection.

[0161] In some embodiments, while receiving the first signal, the first transceiver may also monitor a second signal. The second signal may include, but is not limited to, an LP-WUS. The monitoring result of the LP-WUS may be used to determine whether to activate the second transceiver.

[0162] In some embodiments, the third signal may be DCP or PEI, etc.

[0163] Of course, the above are all examples for explaining the second signal, and the specific implementation is not limited to the above examples.

[0164] In some embodiments, the first timer may be any AS layer timer of the terminal. For example, the AS layer timer may include a data stream transmission suspension timeout timer, or a prohibition timer for the terminal to send user assistance information (UAI) has expired.

[0165] In some embodiments, when the prohibit timer of the UAI times out, it indicates that the terminal has UAI to be sent.

[0166] In some embodiments, the terminal has data to send. For example, if the terminal has buffered sensor data and the buffer capacity has been reached, the terminal cannot buffer any more data and needs to send it to the network device. If the first transceiver is an LP-WUR, the first transceiver does not have the ability to send data, and the second transceiver needs to be activated and used to send data.

[0167] S2102: Perform DRX using the activated second transceiver.

[0168] In some embodiments, a triggering event is detected while the first transceiver is listening to the first signal, activating the second transceiver to perform DRX.

[0169] In some embodiments, when a triggering event is detected while the first transceiver is listening to the first signal and the terminal is configured with DRX, DRX is performed using the activated second transceiver.

[0170] In some embodiments, the DRX of the terminal is for the entire terminal, for example, the DRX is terminal-granular or per-terminal, that is, the DRX configured for the terminal is not grouped, that is, the terminal has no DRX grouping.

[0171] In the case that the terminal has a DRX group, the second transceiver corresponding to the DRX group may be used to perform DRX.

[0172] Exemplarily, different DRX groups may correspond to different second transceivers.

[0173] As another example, different DRX groups may correspond to different frequency ranges (FR).

[0174] Also illustratively, different DRX groups may correspond to different bandwidth parts (Band Width Part, BWP).

[0175] In some embodiments, different DRX groups may correspond to different cells. For example, if a terminal uses carrier aggregation to establish dual connectivity with a network device, the terminal's serving cells may include a primary cell and a secondary cell. The primary cell and the secondary cell may correspond to the same DRX group for the terminal, or to different DRX groups for the terminal.

[0176] In some embodiments, different DRX groups may correspond to different radio frequency (RF) devices of the terminal. The RF device may include a second transceiver.

[0177] If multiple DRX groups correspond to the same first signal, the same first transceiver and / or the same first timer, then when a triggering event is detected, the second transceivers corresponding to the multiple DRX groups are woken up at the same time and perform DRX at the same time.

[0178] If the plurality of DRX groups correspond to different first signals or different first timers, the second transceiver of the DRX group that detects the triggering event is awakened and performs DRX of the corresponding DRX group.

[0179] For example, a terminal has a first DRX group and a second DRX group, where the first DRX group corresponds to LP-SS1 and the second DRX group corresponds to LP-SS2. If a first transceiver detects that the signal quality of LP-SS1 is lower than a first threshold, while the signal quality of LP-SS2 is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the terminal may wake up the second transceiver of the first DRX group and maintain the second transceiver of the second DRX group in a dormant state. The woken second transceiver then performs DRX for the first DRX group.

[0180] Exemplarily, the first DRX group and the second DRX group may correspond to different DRX parameters, and the terminal may perform DRX according to the DRX parameters.

[0181] Exemplarily, the DRX parameters may include: various DRX timer parameters. The timer parameters may include but are not limited to the timer duration, etc.

[0182] As another example, the DRX parameters may include values ​​such as the DRX cycle.

[0183] In some embodiments, performing DRX can be understood as changing between awake (DRX active) and dormant (DRX off) according to a DRX timing defined by DRX parameters. During the DRX awake phase, the terminal needs to monitor the PDCCH.

[0184] In some embodiments, the DRX timing may be determined by a DRX timer. In some embodiments, when the terminal performs DRX, the second transceiver wakes up or sleeps according to the timer corresponding to the DRX. For example, the DRX timer includes but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0185] The wake-up (on duration) timer is used to start at the beginning of each DRX cycle. The terminal can monitor the PDCCH during the valid period of this timer.

[0186] The inactivity timer is used to determine whether the active period of the terminal is extended due to the arrival of new or retransmitted data.

[0187] The retransmission timer is used to set the maximum waiting time for the terminal to wait for downlink retransmission in the active period. If the timer times out and the terminal still does not receive the downlink retransmission data, the UE will no longer accept the retransmission data.

[0188] The uplink (UL) retransmission timer is used to set the maximum waiting time for an active UE to wait for an uplink retransmission. If the timer expires without receiving an uplink retransmission scheduling indication, the UE will no longer monitor the Narrow Band Internet of Things (NarrowBand Internet of Things) Physical Downlink Control Channel (NPDCCH).

[0189] The Round Trip Time (RTT) timer is used to determine when the terminal starts the timer related to the extended activation period.

[0190] When the terminal uses the awakened second transceiver to perform DRX, it will wake up or sleep according to the timer corresponding to DRX.

[0191] Exemplarily, if the terminal detects that the signal quality of the first signal is lower than a first threshold, or detects that there is an uplink transmission to be sent, or detects that the first timer has expired, the terminal will use the awakened second transceiver to perform DRX.

[0192] If the terminal performs DRX, it means that DRX is activated or the terminal enters the DRX activation state or the terminal monitors according to the DRX timing relationship.

[0193] In some embodiments, when the first transceiver monitors the first signal, a trigger event is detected, and the second transceiver is activated to monitor the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH).

[0194] For example, after being awakened, the second transceiver may not monitor downlink transmission according to the DRX timing relationship (for example, a DRX timer), but may directly monitor the PDCCH. For example, if the triggering event is when the first transceiver monitors the second signal, it means that the network device has downlink transmission, and at this time the terminal can use the awakened second transceiver to monitor the PDCCH.

[0195] In some embodiments, after the second transceiver is awakened, the second transceiver directly sends first information to the network device, where the first information explicitly or implicitly indicates to the network device that the second transceiver is awakened.

[0196] For example, the second transceiver of the terminal is awakened because the first timer has timed out or the terminal has data to be transmitted. At this time, it is transparent to the network device. The awakened second transceiver sends the first information to the network device, so that the network device knows that the second transceiver of the terminal is awakened, and can perform any transmission between the network device and the terminal.

[0197] In some embodiments, the state or mode in which the first transceiver monitors the first signal can be referred to as a specific monitoring mode of the terminal. For example, the terminal's LP-WUS monitoring mode. In this mode, the second transceiver is in a shutdown or dormant state. The activation of the second transceiver can also be understood as the awakening of the second transceiver. The awakened or activated second transceiver enters an operating state and can perform uplink and downlink transmissions after entering the operating state.

[0198] In some embodiments, before entering the specific monitoring mode, the terminal may stop all DRX timers, or may continue to maintain the DRX timers, as long as the second transceiver remains in a sleep or shutdown state.

[0199] In this way, when a triggering event is detected to activate the second transceiver, the behavior of the activated second transceiver can be determined according to the operation status of the DRX timer.

[0200] In some embodiments, the first transceiver monitors the first signal and detects a trigger event while maintaining the second timer running, and activates the second transceiver to perform DRX in the current DRX cycle or the next DRX cycle according to whether the terminal has the second timer running;

[0201] When the first transceiver monitors the first signal and turns off the second timer, a triggering event is detected, and the second transceiver is activated to perform DRX in the next DRX cycle.

[0202] Exemplarily, the second timer may be any DRX timer.

[0203] When the terminal enters a specific listening mode, the second timer remains running. This can be understood as maintaining the second timer's enablement, i.e., not stopping the second timer, and not changing its running state. The specific start and / or stop time for each second timer depends on its timer configuration. The DRX parameters for each second timer may include the timer configuration for each second timer.

[0204] For example, the second timer includes Timer A. The timer configuration of Timer A indicates that Timer A can start at T1 and stop at T2. If the second timer is kept running, Timer A will start at T1 and stop at T2. If the second timer is turned off, Timer A will not start at T1.

[0205] In this case, when the second transceiver is activated, it is determined whether the second timer is running. If the second timer is running, not running, or the second timer has expired, the terminal starts DRX at a different time. For example, if the wake-up time of the second transceiver falls between T1 and T2, then Timer A is running at this time.

[0206] In some embodiments, when the second transceiver is activated, the terminal has a second timer running, and activates the second transceiver to perform DRX in the current DRX cycle, that is, to monitor the PDCCH.

[0207] In some other embodiments, when the second transceiver is activated, the terminal does not have a second timer running, and activates the second transceiver to perform DRX in the next DRX cycle.

[0208] Exemplarily, the terminal having no second timer in operation may include any one of the following two situations:

[0209] The second timer of the terminal ends;

[0210] The second timer of the terminal has not yet started running.

[0211] In either case, if the second timer is not running when the second transceiver of the terminal is awakened, DRX can be executed starting from the next DRX cycle corresponding to the current moment; otherwise, DRX can be executed starting from the current DRX cycle corresponding to the current moment.

[0212] In some cases, the network device may or may not configure the third signal for the terminal.

[0213] In some embodiments, the third signal may include, but is not limited to, a DCP.

[0214] Therefore, in some embodiments, the first transceiver detects a trigger event when monitoring the first signal and the terminal is configured with the third signal, and activates the second transceiver to perform DRX in the current DRX cycle or the next DRX cycle based on whether the monitoring moment of the third signal corresponding to the current monitoring period of the DCP is missed.

[0215] Exemplarily, the DRX cycle corresponding to the moment when the terminal wakes up the second transceiver may be the current DRX cycle. A DRX cycle may correspond to a DCP. The monitoring moment of the DCP may be located before a DRX cycle in the time domain. The time period between two adjacent DCPs may be the monitoring cycle of the DCP. The current monitoring cycle has a corresponding DCP. In this case, if the terminal misses the monitoring moment for the third signal corresponding to the current monitoring cycle and does not miss the monitoring moment for the third signal, the timing at which the activated second transceiver initiates DRX may be different.

[0216] In some embodiments, when the first transceiver monitors the first signal, the terminal is configured to detect a trigger event of the third signal, and the second transceiver wakes up without missing the monitoring moment of the third signal corresponding to the current monitoring cycle, it is determined based on the monitoring result of the third signal to activate the second transceiver to perform DRX in the next DRX cycle or not to perform DRX in the next DRX cycle.

[0217] Exemplarily, when the second transceiver is awakened, if it does not miss the monitoring time of the third signal corresponding to the current monitoring period of the third signal, it is equivalent to that the monitoring time of the third signal corresponding to the current monitoring period is after the second transceiver is awakened. Therefore, the second transceiver can monitor the third signal corresponding to the current monitoring period after being awakened, and determine whether the activated second transceiver performs DRX in the next DRX period corresponding to the monitored third signal based on the monitoring result of the third signal.

[0218] Exemplarily, if the DCP monitored by the terminal has a first value, DRX is performed in the next DRX cycle. Exemplarily, if the DCP monitored by the terminal has a second value, DRX is not performed in the next DRX cycle. Exemplarily, the first value may be "1" and the second value may be "0."

[0219] In some embodiments, when the first transceiver monitors the first signal, the terminal is configured to detect a trigger event of the third signal, and the second transceiver wakes up and misses the monitoring moment of the third signal corresponding to the current monitoring cycle, the second transceiver is activated to monitor the current DRX cycle or the next DRX cycle to perform DRX.

[0220] If the terminal has missed the monitoring time of the third signal in the current monitoring cycle of the third signal when waking up the second transceiver, the terminal starts to perform DRX in the current DRX cycle in order to transmit data in time.

[0221] If the terminal has missed the monitoring moment of the third signal in the current monitoring cycle when waking up the second transceiver, and the delay tolerance of the data to be transmitted is sufficient, the activated second transceiver performs DRX in the next DRX cycle.

[0222] FIG2B is a schematic diagram of an information processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2B , the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to an information processing method that can be executed by a communication system, and the method includes:

[0223] S2201: The terminal activates the second transceiver.

[0224] The communication system may include a terminal and a network device, wherein the network device may include at least an access network device. The access network device may include at least a serving base station, an anchor base station, or a target base station of the terminal.

[0225] The serving base station of the terminal may include: a primary serving base station and / or a secondary serving base station.

[0226] In some embodiments, operations related to the terminal activating the second transceiver can refer to the relevant parts of the embodiment corresponding to FIG. 2A .

[0227] S2202: Send a scheduling request based on the activated second transceiver.

[0228] In some embodiments, the scheduling request is used by the terminal to request authorization for uplink transmission.

[0229] Exemplarily, the first timer is a prohibit timer of UAI, the prohibit timer causes a triggering event, and the scheduling request may be used to request authorization for sending an uplink transmission of the UAI.

[0230] In other embodiments, the scheduling request may be used to carry various indication information, in which case the message format of the scheduling request and / or the sending resource of the scheduling request may be reused for sending the indication information. Exemplarily, the indication information here includes but is not limited to the second information.

[0231] Since the first timer of the terminal has timed out or uplink data has been sent, it means that the terminal needs to request resources for uplink transmission. At this time, after the second transceiver of the terminal is awakened, it directly sends a scheduling request on the resource for sending the scheduling request to request authorization for uplink transmission from the network device.

[0232] In some embodiments, there may be multiple types of scheduling requests. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, there may be at least two types of scheduling requests, which are:

[0233] A first scheduling request, a regular scheduling request, is used to request authorization for uplink transmission;

[0234] The second scheduling request, which is an unconventional scheduling request, can be used to send the second information.

[0235] During specific implementation, the terminal may determine whether to enter the DRX activation state according to its own needs, and then determine whether to send the first scheduling request or the second scheduling request to the network device.

[0236] In some embodiments, the terminal sends a scheduling request, and the network device receives the scheduling request.

[0237] In some embodiments, the terminal sends a first scheduling request, and the network device receives the first scheduling request.

[0238] In other embodiments, the terminal sends a second scheduling request, and the network device receives the second scheduling request.

[0239] In some embodiments, the terminal maintains a DRX inactive state (DRX off), which means that the terminal does not perform PDCCH monitoring.

[0240] In other embodiments, when the terminal exits the DRX inactive state or enters the DRX active state (DRX active), it means that the terminal directly monitors the PDCCH.

[0241] S2203: The network device sends a response message for uplink transmission.

[0242] In some embodiments, the response message may be an authorization message or a rejection message.

[0243] In some embodiments, after receiving the scheduling request, the network device will authorize uplink transmission, and the terminal will receive an authorization message for uplink transmission.

[0244] In some embodiments, after receiving the scheduling request, the network device does not prepare to grant authorization for uplink transmission, and the network device may send a rejection message to the terminal, or may not send both the authorization message and the rejection message.

[0245] Exemplarily, the authorization may be used for UAI transmission when a prohibition timer of the UAI expires.

[0254] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate that the second transceiver of the terminal is awakened.

[0255] In some embodiments, the first information is used to instruct the second transceiver of the terminal to wake up and maintain a DRX inactive state.

[0256] In some embodiments, the channel state information (CSI) may be carried in a CSI report. The reporting amount of the CSI report may include but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0257] Channel Quality Indication (CQI);

[0258] Rank Indication (RI);

[0259] Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI).

[0261] In some embodiments, the first information may also be any information that explicitly or implicitly indicates that the second transceiver of the terminal is awakened and maintains the DRX inactive state.

[0262] In some embodiments, the terminal maintains a DRX inactive state (DRX off), which means that the terminal does not perform PDCCH monitoring.

[0263] In other embodiments, when the terminal exits the DRX inactive state or enters the DRX active state (DRX active), it means that the terminal directly monitors the PDCCH.

[0264] In other embodiments, when the terminal exits the DRX inactive state or enters the DRX active state, it indicates that the terminal is performing DRX.

[0303] In some embodiments, the terminal is based on a response message returned by the network device based on the scheduling request.

[0304] In some embodiments, the terminal receives an authorization message transmitted uplink by the network device.

[0305] In some embodiments, when the terminal uses the activated second transceiver to send a scheduling request, the terminal may receive an uplink transmission authorization message from the network device.

[0306] In some embodiments, when the terminal uses the activated second transceiver to send a scheduling request, the terminal may also receive an authorization rejection message.

[0307] It is worth noting that some embodiments may include S3101, meaning that S3102 and S3103 are optional steps. For example, when the first transceiver monitors the first signal, the terminal may detect a triggering event and activate the second transceiver. The operation performed by the activated second transceiver may depend on the implementation of the terminal and is not specifically limited here.

[0308] Some embodiments may include any one of S3101 and S3102, that is, S3103 may be an optional step. For example, after activating the second transceiver, the terminal sends a scheduling request, but the network device is not prepared to respond to the scheduling request, and thus may not send any response message to the terminal.

[0309] As shown in FIG4 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method that can be executed by a terminal. The method may include:

[0310] S4101: The network device receives channel status information.

[0311] In some embodiments, the network device receives channel state information sent by the terminal.

[0312] In some embodiments, the channel state information includes first information.

[0313] In some embodiments, the first information is used to instruct the terminal to wake up the second transceiver based on a triggering event when monitoring the first signal using the first transceiver and to instruct the terminal to maintain a DRX inactive state.

[0314] The power consumption of the first transceiver is lower than the power consumption of the second transceiver.

[0315] For the description of the channel state information and / or the first information, please refer to the relevant part of the embodiment corresponding to Figure 2C. After the network device receives the first information, it can know that the second transceiver of the terminal is awakened.

[0316] In some embodiments, the terminal entering the DRX activation state may be understood as the terminal monitoring the PDCCH.

[0317] In some other embodiments, the terminal not entering the DRX activation state can be understood as a state in which the terminal does not monitor the PDCCH.

[0318] As shown in FIG5 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method that can be executed by a terminal. The method may include:

[0319] S5101: The network device receives a second scheduling request.

[0320] In some embodiments, the second scheduling request is used for granting uplink transmission of the terminal.

[0321] In some embodiments, the second scheduling request further includes indication information.

[0322] In some embodiments, the second information is used to instruct the terminal to wake up the second transceiver based on a triggering event when monitoring the first signal using the first transceiver and to instruct the terminal to maintain a DRX inactive state.

[0323] In some embodiments, the power consumption of the first transceiver is lower than the power consumption of the second transceiver.

[0324] The network device responds to the second scheduling request.

[0325] A power-saving signal is introduced for connected terminals. For example, the power-saving signal may include a wakeup signal or a DCP. The WUS is a low-power detection signal. If the terminal detects the WUS, it means that it needs to monitor the PDCCH. If the terminal does not detect the WUS, it skips the PDCCH monitoring.

[0326] In idle DRX scenarios, the power-saving signal can be a Paging Early Indicator (PEI), which is typically configured before a Paging Occasion (PO). If the PEI does not detect a power-saving signal, monitoring of the Paging DCI (Paging DCI) needs to be skipped. Otherwise, monitoring of the Paging DCI is required.

[0327] Furthermore, the connected state is enhanced by introducing a PDCCH skip mechanism, that is, the PDCCH skip will be carried in the DCI to notify the user to skip monitoring for a period of time or switch the search space group.

[0328] It can be seen that no matter what kind of power saving signal is used, the modem of the terminal is required to detect the power saving signal.

[0329] Furthermore, it is desirable to introduce a separate transceiver. This separate receiver can be an ultra-low power wake-up signal receiver (LP-WUR). This low-power wake-up signal receiver can be used to receive power-saving signals. The modem part or main transceiver part of the terminal can only be awakened after the separate transceiver is awakened. Otherwise, the modem part will remain in a dormant state.

[0330] With the introduction of a separate transceiver, the terminal will use the LP-WUR to monitor the LP-WUS and measure the LP-SS signal. Because the terminal may move out of LP-SS coverage while monitoring the LP-WUS, it will need to re-enable the main transceiver at any time. How the terminal will initiate PDCCH monitoring in this scenario is not yet defined. Therefore, the terminal's monitoring behavior in this scenario needs to be considered.

[0331] Because the terminal may move out of the LP-SS coverage area during LP-WUS monitoring, the terminal's main transceiver needs to be turned on again at any time. How the terminal will start monitoring the PDCCH at this time has not yet been defined.

[0332] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a working method for protecting a terminal in a connected state from being awakened (or deactivating the LP-WUS listening mode) when using a separate transceiver.

[0333] Exemplarily, its separate transceiver (or LP-WUR) is used to receive a low power wake-up signal, thereby waking up the main wireless receiver.

[0334] Exemplarily, the low power consumption monitoring of the terminal may be activated based on: the network device sends a display instruction to activate the power saving signal monitoring, or it may be based on an implicit manner.

[0335] In some embodiments, if there is no data transmission within the timer duration, the terminal starts LP-WUR.

[0336] In some embodiments, when a low power consumption signal (LP-SS) is detected to be below a threshold while monitoring a power-saving signal using LP-WUS, the terminal deactivates the LP-WUS monitoring mode and starts monitoring subsequent data according to DRX. Deactivating the LP-WUS monitoring mode means activating the second transceiver.

[0337] In some embodiments, when the connected AS layer timer is detected to have timed out while using LP-WUR to monitor the power saving signal, the terminal will deactivate the LP-WUS monitoring mode and start monitoring subsequent data according to DRX.

[0338] In some embodiments, when the LP-WUS monitoring mode is deactivated and the terminal is configured with DRX, the terminal performs DRX monitoring behavior. Here, the DRX monitoring behavior is performed, that is, the PDCCH is monitored according to the timing relationship of DRX or the monitoring of PDCCH is started immediately. Among them, monitoring the PDCCH according to the timing relationship of DRX does not mean that the terminal immediately enters the DRX active state, but only monitors according to the timing relationship of DRX, such as waiting for the start of the wake-up period (onduration) of the next DRX cycle before monitoring the PDCCH. Immediately starting the monitoring of PDCCH means that the terminal can directly enter the DRX active state of monitoring PDCCH, reducing the delay of scheduling data.

[0339] The DRX monitoring behavior may include at least one of the following:

[0340] Mode 1: When the terminal deactivates the LP-WUS monitoring mode, if the terminal has a DRX timer running, so that the terminal is in DRX activation (ie, DRX is in an activated state), the terminal can continue to monitor the PDCCH.

[0341] That is, in mode 1, the terminal can immediately start monitoring the PDCCH. This operation can enable the terminal to reduce the delay of scheduling data.

[0342] For example, when the terminal is activated to monitor low-power power-saving signals, it has a running DRX timer (the DRX timer may include an inactivity timer (IAT timer)), and the terminal main transceiver continues to monitor the PDCCH after being awakened.

[0343] Mode 2: If the terminal deactivates the LP-WUS monitoring mode, after waking up the main transceiver, the terminal needs to wait for the next wake-up period (onduration) according to the DRX timing relationship to monitor downlink transmission. The downlink transmission may at least include the transmission of PDCCH.

[0344] It is worth noting that the difference between method 2 and method 1 is that the terminal no longer continues to run the DRX timer when entering the LP-WUS monitoring mode, and no DRX timer will be running when the terminal exits the LP-WUS monitoring mode.

[0345] Method 3: If the terminal deactivates the LP-WUS monitoring mode and needs to monitor the DCP, and misses the DCP or PEI moment, it will directly start monitoring the subsequent PDCCH. That is, the terminal starts monitoring the next onduration or starts monitoring the next paging moment (assuming that the DCP / PEI is received normally).

[0346] Mode 4: If the AS layer timer times out, and the terminal has uplink data to send, the terminal will initiate an SR and enter the DRX active state. For example, if the prohibition timer for sending UAI times out, the terminal will send UAI and initiate a scheduling request (SR).

[0347] In some embodiments, when performing DRX, it will further be determined based on whether the terminal has configured DRX groups. In some cases, the terminal has configured DRX but not configured DRX groups. That is, in this manner, the DRX configured by the terminal is for the entire terminal.

[0348] In some embodiments, in some cases, the DRX of the terminal is configured according to the DRX group. For example, the terminal is configured with two different DRX groups, and different DRX groups correspond to different frequency ranges. At this time, after the terminal deactivates the LP-WUS monitoring mode, the method of executing DRX may include the following. Among them, executing DRX means that the terminal performs DRX monitoring behavior. That is, monitoring the PDCCH according to the timing relationship of DRX or immediately starting to monitor the PDCCH. Among them, monitoring the PDCCH according to the timing relationship of DRX, such as waiting for the start of the wake-up period (onduration) of the next DRX cycle before monitoring the PDCCH. Immediately starting to monitor the PDCCH means that the terminal can directly enter the DRX activation state of monitoring the PDCCH, reducing the delay of scheduling data. Method 1: If the terminal deactivates the LP-WUS monitoring mode, the DRX monitoring behavior on the two DRX groups is the same; that is, both DRX groups are awakened, and the terminal performs DRX monitoring behavior on both DRX groups.

[0349] Method 2: If two DRX groups are configured with different LP-SS measurements, and the terminal deactivates LP-WUS monitoring mode, the DRX monitoring behavior of the two DRX groups is independent. A poor LP-SS signal quality detected by one DRX group does not necessarily mean that the LP-SS signal quality detected by the other DRX group is poor. In other words, only one of the two DRX groups may be awakened, and the terminal performs DRX monitoring on the awakened DRX group. The other DRX group remains dormant.

[0350] In some embodiments, when the terminal detects that the low power signal (LP-SS) is lower than the threshold when using LP-WUR to monitor LP-WUS, the terminal will deactivate the LP-WUS monitoring mode. At this time, if the terminal notifies the base station of the terminal status through signaling information, but the terminal does not enter the DRX activation (DRX active) state, it only monitors according to the DRX timing relationship, such as waiting for the onduration of the next DRX cycle to start.

[0351] As an embodiment, the terminal notifies the network of its status via CQI or SR, but the terminal will not enter the DRX active state. For example, when there is no uplink data transmission, the terminal does not need to enter the DRX active state. This is because the terminal itself has no uplink data and does not expect to monitor the PDCCH immediately. In this case, the terminal does not enter the DRX active state and only monitors according to the DRX timing relationship, such as waiting for the start of the onduration of the next DRX cycle.

[0352] As shown in Figure 7, the terminal has two DRX groups, each corresponding to a different cell. For example, the primary cell and the secondary cell may correspond to different DRX groups, and the DRX groups of the primary cell and the secondary cell may correspond to the same LP-SS. After waking up the second DRX group corresponding to the two DRX groups, the network device (e.g., gNB) is notified. Both DRX groups perform DRX according to the DRX timing relationship or directly enter the active DRX state monitoring the PDCCH.
