[0221] Figure 1 shows a block diagram of a wireless communication system to which the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied. The wireless communication system includes a terminal device 11 and a network-side device (or network device) 12. The terminal device 11 may also be referred to as a terminal or a user equipment (UE). It should be noted that the specific type of the terminal 11 is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. The network-side device 12 may be a base station or a core network. It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, only a base station in the NR system is used as an example, but the specific type of the base station is not limited.

[0222] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the embodiments of the present disclosure, the following description is first given.

[0223] The cell discontinuous transmission (DTX) and / or discontinuous reception (DRX) energy-saving technology includes: the base station transmits and / or receives discontinuously in time, and the base station transmits information according to the configured transmission mode (pattern). For example, the base station sends signals and / or data during the DTX activation (DTX on / active) period, and does not send signals and / or data during the DTX inactivation (DTX off / non-active) period; the base station receives signals and / or data during the DRX activation (DRX on / active) period, and does not receive signals and / or data during the DRX inactivation (DRX off / non-active) period.

[0224] For the configuration of cell DTX and cell DRX, the base station can independently configure cell DTX and cell DRX through terminal-specific RRC (UE-specific RRC) signaling. When the base station configures periodic cell DTX, it must include at least: DTX period, DTX start slot or offset (DTX start slot / offset), and DTX on / active duration.

[0225] When the base station configures periodic cell DRX, it must include at least: DRX cycle, DRX start slot or offset (DRX start slot / offset), and DRX on / active duration.

[0226] The information processing method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is described in detail below through some embodiments and their application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0227] As shown in FIG2 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method, which is executed by a terminal. The method includes:

[0228] Step 201: Receive first downlink control information DCI, where the first DCI includes N information blocks, and the information blocks are used to activate and / or deactivate discontinuous configuration, where the discontinuous configuration includes at least one of a cell discontinuous transmission DTX configuration and a cell discontinuous reception DRX configuration, where N is a positive integer.

[0229] The above-mentioned first DCI can also be described as a group common DCI (group common DCI), which includes N information blocks, and at least one information block among the N information blocks is used to activate and / or deactivate non-contiguous configuration.

[0230] Exemplarily, the cell DTX configuration and the cell DRX configuration can be simultaneously activated through at least one information block in a group-common DCI. Similarly, the cell DTX configuration and the cell DRX configuration can be simultaneously deactivated through at least one information block in a group-common DCI. Similarly, the cell DTX configuration and the cell DRX configuration can be simultaneously activated and deactivated through at least one information block in a group-common DCI. Similarly, the cell DTX configuration and the cell DRX configuration can be simultaneously deactivated and the cell DRX configuration can be activated through at least one information block in a group-common DCI.

[0231] Optionally, the above-mentioned discontinuous configuration may include parameters for determining a discontinuous configuration activation time (cell DTX / DRX active time) and a discontinuous configuration inactivation time (cell DTX / DRX non-active time).

[0232] Optionally, the number N of information blocks in the first DCI can be obtained through an RRC message or a system information block (SIB) message.

[0233] Step 202: Determine whether to activate or deactivate the discontinuous configuration according to at least one of the information blocks.

[0234] As an example, the terminal first receives the discontinuous configuration configured by the base station through RRC signaling, then receives the first DCI for activating the discontinuous configuration, and performs uplink / downlink signal / channel transmission / reception according to the base station configuration or preset rules during the time period corresponding to the cell DTX / DRX active / non-active time; then receives the first DCI for deactivating the discontinuous configuration. In this example, the UE needs to attempt detection at each group common DCI transmission timing to determine the activation / deactivation of cell DTX / DRX. The gNB can only send the group common DCI when cell DTX / DRX needs to be activated / deactivated.

[0235] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a terminal receives a first DCI containing N information blocks for activating and / or deactivating a discontinuous configuration, wherein the discontinuous configuration includes at least one of a cell discontinuous transmission (DTX) configuration and a cell discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration. Based on the at least one information block, activation or deactivation of the discontinuous configuration can be determined. With the above solution, a base station can quickly implement a cell DTX / DRX energy-saving solution when cell DTX / DRX is required, thereby achieving energy conservation for the base station.

[0236] Optionally, the N information blocks include one first information block and N-1 second information blocks;

[0237] The first information block is a cell-level information block, and the second information block is a terminal group-level information block.

[0238] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, N-1 second information blocks correspond one-to-one to N-1 terminal groups, and each terminal group includes at least one terminal.

[0239] The first information block is applicable to all terminals in the terminal serving cell. The first information block can also be described as a common information block. The second information block is applicable to the terminal group corresponding to the second information block.

[0240] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, information blocks may be referred to as blocks. For example, the first DCI includes N blocks. Of the N blocks, block 1 is a common block, and the remaining N-1 blocks correspond to N-1 UE groups, respectively. For example, block 2 corresponds to UE group 1, block 3 corresponds to UE group 2, and so on, with block N corresponding to UE group N-1.

[0241] As an optional implementation, the second information block is used to indicate the number of the terminal group that activates and / or deactivates the discontinuous configuration. For example, when the second information block indicates the number of a terminal group, it means that the terminal corresponding to the terminal group considers the discontinuous configuration to be activated or deactivated.

[0242] The embodiments of the present disclosure, by designing the above-mentioned cell-level information blocks and terminal group-level information blocks, enable the terminal to realize non-continuous configuration activation or deactivation based on the above-mentioned cell-level information blocks, and also realize non-continuous configuration activation or deactivation based on the above-mentioned terminal group-level information blocks, and also realize non-continuous configuration activation or deactivation based on the cell-level information blocks and the terminal group-level information blocks at the same time.

[0243] The cell-level information block can enable all terminals in the serving cell to activate or deactivate the discontinuous configuration without separately configuring DCI for activating and / or deactivating the discontinuous configuration for each terminal, thereby effectively saving signaling overhead.

[0244] The above-mentioned terminal group-level information blocks can realize the activation or deactivation of the discontinuous configuration of multiple terminal groups. Different terminal groups can correspond to different discontinuous configurations and different activation or deactivation instructions, so that the network equipment can flexibly configure the activation or deactivation of the discontinuous configuration of different terminal groups.

[0245] Based on the above-mentioned cell-level information block and terminal group-level information block, on the basis of being able to realize the activation or deactivation of discontinuous configuration for all terminals in the service cell, the activation or deactivation of discontinuous configuration can also be configured separately for a certain terminal group. For example, the base station can configure a separate terminal group-level information block for some terminals. When the terminals in a certain terminal group (assuming terminal group 1) may have high priority, emergency or delay-sensitive services, the base station is likely to be unable to serve the terminal when the discontinuous configuration is activated. Therefore, the base station can indicate the activation of discontinuous configuration through the cell-level information block and indicate the deactivation of discontinuous configuration through the new terminal group-level information block corresponding to terminal group 1, so that all terminals in the cell that do not belong to terminal group 1 determine the activation of discontinuous configuration based on the cell-level information block, while the terminals of terminal group 1 determine the deactivation of discontinuous configuration based on the cell-level information block and the terminal group-level information block corresponding to terminal group 1. This method can ensure energy saving of the base station and service of the terminals of terminal group 1 through discontinuous configuration. That is, on the basis of effectively saving signaling overhead, the network equipment can flexibly configure the activation or deactivation of discontinuous configuration for different terminal groups.

[0246] Optionally, the information block includes at least one of the following:

[0247] Cell DTX activation or deactivation indication information; based on the indication information, it can be determined whether the cell DTX configuration is activated or deactivated;

[0248] Cell DRX activation or deactivation indication information; based on the indication information, it can be determined whether the cell DRX configuration is activated or deactivated;

[0249] Cell DTX configuration identifier; the cell DTX configuration identifier is used to identify different cell DTX configurations;

[0250] Cell DRX configuration identifier; the cell DRX configuration identifier is used to identify different cell DRX configurations;

[0251] The activation time length of the cell DTX configuration;

[0252] The deactivation time length of the cell DTX configuration;

[0253] The activation time length of the cell DRX configuration;

[0254] The deactivation time length of the cell DRX configuration.

[0255] The activation time length or deactivation time length in the embodiment of the present disclosure may be an infinite time period, which indicates long-term activation or deactivation, or may be a time period, which indicates short-term activation or deactivation.

[0256] Optionally, the first information block may include cell DTX activation or deactivation indication information and cell DRX activation or deactivation indication information, while the second information block does not include cell DTX activation or deactivation indication information and cell DRX activation or deactivation indication information, and the second information block includes a flip indication, which is used to indicate whether the cell DTX activation or deactivation indication information indicated by the second information block is the same as the cell DTX activation or deactivation indication information indicated by the first information block, and / or, the flip indication is used to indicate whether the cell DRX activation or deactivation indication information indicated by the second information block is the same as the cell DRX activation or deactivation indication information indicated by the first information block. For example, when the flip indication is 0, it indicates that the two are the same, and when the flip indication is 1, it indicates that the two are different.

[0257] Optionally, the information block further includes at least one of the following:

[0258] Secondary cell DTX activation or deactivation indication information;

[0259] Secondary cell DRX activation or deactivation indication information;

[0260] The cell DTX configuration identifier of the secondary cell;

[0261] The cell DRX configuration identifier of the secondary cell;

[0262] The activation time length of the secondary cell DTX configuration;

[0263] The deactivation time length of the secondary cell DTX configuration;

[0264] The activation time length of the secondary cell DRX configuration;

[0265] The deactivation time length of the DRX configuration of the secondary cell;

[0266] The spatial adaptive pattern is used to indicate the number of antenna ports used by the network device. For example, the spatial adaptive pattern occupies 2 bits, 00 indicates 64 ports, 01 indicates 32 ports, 10 indicates 16 ports, and 11 indicates 8 ports.

[0267] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in addition to indicating the activation or deactivation of the non-continuous configuration of the current serving cell, the information block in the first DCI can also indicate the activation or deactivation of the non-continuous configuration of the secondary cell, so that the terminal can obtain the activation or deactivation of the non-continuous configuration of the secondary cell in advance, and then when subsequently accessing the secondary cell, it can directly transmit data according to the activation or deactivation status of the non-continuous configuration of the secondary cell.

[0268] Optionally, as an implementation manner, before determining, based on at least one of the information blocks, whether to activate or deactivate the discontinuous configuration, the method further includes:

[0269] Obtain a first radio resource control RRC message, where the first RRC message is used to indicate at least one information block among the N information blocks;

[0270] At least one information block is determined according to the first RRC message.

[0271] In this implementation, the terminal determines activation or deactivation of the discontinuous configuration based on at least one information block indicated by the first RRC message. This approach enables the network device to flexibly use the information block in the first DCI to indicate activation or deactivation of the discontinuous configuration.

[0272] For example, the first DCI does not explicitly specify which of the N blocks is the common block. The network device can configure all UEs to determine cell DTX / DRX activation / deactivation based on the block_X indication. For example, the gNB configures the starting position and length of block_X for all UEs (UE1, UE2, etc.) via the first RRC message. The gNB can also indicate the starting position and length of block_Y to UE1. From the perspective of UE1, UE1 determines the starting position and block length (block_X, block_Y) of at least one block corresponding to it based on the first RRC message configuration. That is, the RRC message can configure the starting position and block length of one or more blocks for UE1. In this case, UE1 determines cell DTX / DRX activation / deactivation based on at least one block.

[0273] Optionally, the determining, according to at least one of the information blocks, whether to activate or deactivate the discontinuous configuration includes:

[0274] determining, according to the first information block, activation or deactivation of a discontinuous configuration;

[0275] Alternatively, the activation or deactivation of the discontinuous configuration is determined according to the first information block and the second information block corresponding to the terminal.

[0276] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned first information block at the cell level can enable all terminals in the service cell to realize non-continuous configuration activation or deactivation, without the need to separately configure DCI for activating and / or deactivating non-continuous configuration for each terminal, thereby effectively saving signaling overhead.

[0277] Through the above-mentioned first information block at the cell level and the second information block at the terminal group level, on the basis of being able to realize non-continuous configuration activation or deactivation for all terminals in the service cell, it is also possible to separately configure the activation or deactivation of non-continuous configuration for a certain terminal group, that is, on the basis of effectively saving signaling overhead, the network equipment can flexibly configure the activation or deactivation of non-continuous configuration for different terminal groups.

[0278] Optionally, the method of the embodiment of the present disclosure further includes:

[0279] Obtain a second RRC message, where the second RRC message is used to indicate a second information block corresponding to the terminal;

[0280] Determine a second information block corresponding to the terminal according to the second RRC message.

[0281] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second information block corresponding to the terminal can be obtained through the above-mentioned second RRC message, so as to subsequently determine the activation or deactivation of the discontinuous configuration based on the second information block of the second RRC message.

[0282] Optionally, the determining, according to the first information block, activation or deactivation of the discontinuous configuration includes:

[0283] In a case where the second RRC message is not obtained, the discontinuous configuration activation or deactivation is determined according to the first information block, where the second RRC message is used to indicate the second information block corresponding to the terminal.

[0284] Exemplarily, the second RRC message may indicate the number of the second information block corresponding to the terminal.

[0285] Optionally, the second RRC message includes at least one of a starting position, an ending position, and a length of a second information block corresponding to the terminal.

[0286] For example, the starting position of the second information block can be agreed upon through a protocol, and the second RRC message includes the end position of the second information block corresponding to the terminal and the length of the information block, so that the position of the second information block in the first DCI can be determined based on the content agreed upon by the protocol and the content indicated by the second RRC message.

[0287] For example, the length of the second information block can be agreed upon through a protocol, and the second RRC message includes the starting position of the second information block corresponding to the terminal, so that the position of the second information block in the first DCI can be determined based on the content agreed upon by the protocol and the content indicated by the second RRC message.

[0288] For another example, the end position of the second information block can be agreed upon through a protocol, and the second RRC message includes the length of the second information block corresponding to the terminal, so that the position of the second information block in the first DCI can be determined based on the content agreed upon by the protocol and the content indicated by the second RRC message.

[0289] Optionally, the determining, according to the first information block and the second information block corresponding to the terminal, whether to activate or deactivate the discontinuous configuration includes:

[0290] In a case where the first information block is used to activate the discontinuous configuration, if the second information block corresponding to the terminal is used to activate the discontinuous configuration, determining that the discontinuous configuration is activated;

[0291] Alternatively, in a case where the first information block is used to activate the discontinuous configuration, if the second information block corresponding to the terminal is used to deactivate the discontinuous configuration, determining to deactivate the discontinuous configuration;

[0292] Alternatively, in a case where the first information block is used to deactivate the discontinuous configuration, if the second information block corresponding to the terminal is used to activate the discontinuous configuration, determining whether the discontinuous configuration is activated or deactivated;

[0293] Alternatively, in a case where the first information block is used to deactivate the discontinuous configuration, regardless of whether the second information block corresponding to the terminal is used to activate or deactivate the discontinuous configuration, the terminal determines to deactivate the discontinuous configuration;

[0294] Alternatively, in a case where the first information block is used to deactivate the discontinuous configuration, if the second information block corresponding to the terminal is used to deactivate the discontinuous configuration, it is determined that the discontinuous configuration is deactivated.

[0295] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the first information block is used to activate the non-continuous configuration, the terminal further determines whether the non-continuous configuration is activated or deactivated based on the second information block. If the corresponding second information block indicates activation of the non-continuous configuration, the non-continuous configuration is determined to be activated; if the corresponding second information block indicates deactivation of the non-continuous configuration, the non-continuous configuration is determined to be deactivated.

[0296] The above-mentioned discontinuous configuration activation or deactivation may be a long-term activation or deactivation (can only wait for the first DCI to activate or deactivate again), or a short-term activation or deactivation.

[0297] The following describes an implementation method for determining activation or deactivation of a discontinuous configuration based on the first information block and the second information block.

[0298] Implementation method 1: Both the first information block and the second information block include a cell DTX activation / deactivation indication field, a cell DRX activation / deactivation indication field, a cell DTX flag, and a cell DRX flag, as shown in Table 1.

[0299] Table 1

[0300] At this time, after the UE determines the start position and / or block length of the block corresponding to the UE through the RRC message, the UE can determine the activation / deactivation of at least one cell DTX / DRX based on the common block of the first DCI and the indication of the block corresponding to the UE. For example, the UE determines that the gNB has activated cell DTX configuration 1 corresponding to cell DTX flag 1 by interpreting block 1. When the UE determines the corresponding block 2 through the RRC message, the UE also determines that the gNB has activated cell DTX configuration 2 corresponding to cell DTX flag 2 by interpreting block 2.

[0301] Implementation 2: Both the first information block and the second information block include a cell DTX activation / deactivation indication field and a cell DRX activation / deactivation indication field, as shown in Table 2.

[0302] Table 2

[0303] At this point, the UE behaves as follows: When the UE determines the start position and / or block length of the block corresponding to the UE through the RRC message and the UE receives the first DCI, the UE can first check the cell DTX / DRX activation / deactivation status in block 1:

[0304] When block 1 (common block) indicates cell DTX / DRX activation, the UE further checks the block corresponding to the UE indicated by the RRC message to indicate cell DTX / DRX activation / deactivation:

[0305] If the block corresponding to the UE indicates activation, the UE considers that the cell DTX / DRX is in the activated state;

[0306] If deactivation is indicated in the corresponding block of the UE, the UE considers the cell DTX / DRX inactive time to be deactivated for the next X times (short-term deactivation), or the cell DTX / DRX configuration is in the deactivated state (long-term deactivation, waiting for DCI reactivation). Here, X can be a value agreed upon by the protocol or a value notified by the gNB through an RRC message.

[0307] When block 1 (common block) indicates that the cell DTX / DRX is deactivated, the UE considers that the cell DTX / DRX is in the deactivated state.

[0308] Implementation 3: The first information block includes a cell DTX identifier (cell DTX configuration identifier) ​​and a cell DRX identifier (cell DRX configuration identifier), and the second information block includes a cell DTX activation / deactivation indication field and a cell DRX activation / deactivation indication field, as shown in Table 3:

[0309] Table 3

[0310] At this time, after the UE determines the starting position and / or block length of the block corresponding to the UE through the RRC message, the UE can determine the activation / deactivation of a cell DTX / DRX through the common block of the first DCI and the indication of the block corresponding to the UE. For example, if the block 2 corresponding to the UE indicates Cell DTX activation, the terminal determines that the Cell DTX configuration corresponding to the Cell DTX identifier indicated by Block 1 is activated.

[0311] Implementation 4: The first information block includes a cell DTX activation / deactivation indication field, a cell DRX activation / deactivation indication field, a cell DTX identifier, and a cell DRX identifier; the second information block includes a cell DTX activation / deactivation indication field, and a cell DRX activation / deactivation indication field; as shown in Table 4:

[0312] Table 4

[0313] Compared with implementation method 1, the UE group-level block in implementation method 4 can only activate / deactivate the cell DTX / DRX configuration corresponding to the cell DTX / DRX identifier in the common block, and the UE group-level block cannot additionally activate or deactivate the cell DTX / DRX configuration other than the cell DTX / DRX configuration corresponding to the cell DTX / DRX identifier in the common block.

[0314] Implementation 5: The first DCI includes a common block and a UE group-level block. The common block includes a cell DTX activation / deactivation indication field, a cell DRX activation / deactivation indication field, a cell DTX identifier, and a cell DRX identifier. The UE group-level block includes the UE group identifier, for example, 00 corresponds to UE group 1, 01 corresponds to UE group 2, 10 corresponds to UE group 3, and 11 corresponds to UE group 4. The UE may determine the identifier of its corresponding UE group through RRC messaging. When the UE group-level block indicates the identifier of a UE group, it means that the UE corresponding to this UE group considers the cell DTX / DRX state to be in the deactivated state or the deactivated state.

[0315] Optionally, the determining to deactivate the discontinuous configuration includes:

[0316] It is determined that the discontinuous configuration is deactivated within a first time interval.

[0317] The first time interval includes X non-continuous configuration period lengths, where X is a positive integer.

[0318] The first time interval starts from the first time unit after the time unit when the terminal receives the first DCI. The time unit may be a time slot, a symbol, or a second.

[0319] Optionally, the method of the embodiment of the present disclosure further includes:

[0320] Determining a time at which the first DCI takes effect;

[0321] Determine the effective time of activation or deactivation of the discontinuous configuration according to the effective time of the first DCI.

[0322] For example, the effective time of the first DCI is determined as the effective time of the discontinuous configuration activation or deactivation, or the time after adding the offset duration on the basis of the effective time of the first DCI is determined as the effective time of the discontinuous configuration activation or deactivation,

[0323] Here, by determining the effective time of the first DCI, the terminal and the network side device can unify the effective time of the first DCI, and then can correctly understand the activation or deactivation of the discontinuous configuration through the first DCI, thereby ensuring the network energy saving effect.

[0324] Optionally, determining the validation time of the first DCI includes:

[0325] Determining a time at which the first DCI takes effect, according to a state of a serving cell of the terminal when the first DCI is received;

[0326] And / or, determining the effective time of the first DCI based on the activation or deactivation status of the discontinuous configuration indicated by the first DCI.

[0327] Through the above solution, the terminal can determine the effective time of the first DCI based on the state of the serving cell of the terminal when receiving the first DCI, and / or the activation or deactivation state of the discontinuous configuration indicated by the first DCI.

[0328] Optionally, determining the effectiveness time of the first DCI according to the state of the serving cell of the terminal when the first DCI is received includes:

[0329] If the serving cell of the terminal is in a normal cell state and / or in a cell discontinuous configuration activation time (active time) when receiving the first DCI, determining that the effective time of the first DCI is the time when the first DCI is received or the time of the next time unit after the first DCI is received, wherein the normal cell state is a state in which the discontinuous configuration is not activated;

[0330] If the serving cell of the terminal is in a state of non-active time of non-continuous cell configuration when receiving the first DCI, the effective time of the first DCI is determined to be a time Y time units after the reception time of the first DCI, where Y is a positive integer greater than 1.

[0331] Optionally, the time unit may be a frame, a subframe, a time slot or a symbol, etc.

[0332] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, after receiving the first DCI, the UE also needs to determine the effective time of the first DCI, that is, confirm the effective time of Cell DTX / DRX activation / deactivation. After the UE determines the effective time of activation or deactivation of at least one DTX / DRX configuration and the cell DTX / DRX configuration, the UE needs to perform corresponding UE behavior according to the determined Cell DTX active time and perform corresponding UE behavior during the determined Cell DTX inactive period; similarly, the UE needs to perform corresponding UE behavior according to the determined Cell DRX active period and perform corresponding UE behavior during the determined Cell DRX inactive period.

[0333] For example, if a terminal receives a first DCI during normal cell, cell DTX active time, and cell DRX active time, the UE considers the first DCI to be effective immediately, i.e., the first DCI is effective at the symbol following the symbol containing the first DCI. For another example, if a UE receives a first DCI during cell DTX inactive time and / or cell DRX inactive time, the UE considers the first DCI to be effective Y time units after the first DCI. For example, the time unit can be a slot, and Y can be indicated by the gNB or agreed upon in the protocol.

[0334] For another example, when the terminal receives the first DCI indicating activation of cell DTX / DRX, the UE considers that the DCI is effective, that is, the next symbol of the symbol containing the DCI is effective for cell DTX / DRX activation; or, as shown in FIG3 , the UE considers that the start position of the first cell DTX / DRX cycle after the first DCI is effective; or, the UE considers that the start system frame number (SFN) of the first cell DTX / DRX active / inactive time after the DCI is effective;

[0335] For another example, if the UE receives a first DCI indicating deactivation of cell DTX / DRX, the following three cases are described:

[0336] Case 1: The UE receives a DCI indicating deactivation during the cell DTX / DRX inactive time;

[0337] As shown in Figure 4, the UE considers that the first DCI takes effect Y time units after the first DCI. These Y time units are the processing limit of the UE. The UE needs time to turn on some components or the DCI processing delay to enter the normal cell state. Y can be configured by RRC or related to the UE capability and subcarrier spacing.

[0338] Case 2: The UE receives the first DCI indicating deactivation during the cell DTX / DRX active time;

[0339] As shown in FIG5 , the UE considers that the next symbol of the symbol where the first DCI is located is the effective symbol of the first DCI; at this time, the UE is already in the cell DTX / DRX active time, and the UE has no processing restrictions and does not need preparation time.

[0340] Case 3: As shown in Figure 6, the first DCI indicating deactivation is received during the cell DTX inactive time and the cell DRX active time; or the first DCI indicating deactivation is received during the cell DRX inactive time and the cell DTX active time;

[0341] For the cell DTX / DRX inactive time to transition to a normal cell, the UE needs time to turn on some components or the DCI processing delay to enter the normal cell state;

[0342] For the conversion from cell DRX / DTX active time to normal cell, the UE itself is in cell DTX / DRX active time, and the UE has no processing restrictions and does not require preparation time;

[0343] However, the UE should have a unified valid time instant of the first DCI, and the UE considers that the DCI becomes valid Y time units after the first DCI.

[0344] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a terminal receives a first DCI containing N information blocks for activating and / or deactivating a discontinuous configuration, wherein the discontinuous configuration includes at least one of a cell discontinuous transmission (DTX) configuration and a cell discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration. Based on the at least one information block, activation or deactivation of the discontinuous configuration can be determined. With the above solution, a base station can quickly implement a cell DTX / DRX energy-saving solution when cell DTX / DRX is required, thereby achieving energy conservation for the base station.

[0345] As shown in FIG7 , an embodiment of the present disclosure further provides an information processing method, which is executed by a network device. The method includes:

[0346] Step 701: Send first downlink control information DCI, where the first DCI includes N information blocks, and the information blocks are used to activate and / or deactivate discontinuous configuration, where the discontinuous configuration includes at least one of cell discontinuous transmission DTX configuration and cell discontinuous reception DRX configuration, where N is a positive integer.

[0347] The first DCI mentioned above may also be described as a group common DCI, which includes N information blocks, at least one of which is used to activate and / or deactivate non-contiguous configuration.

[0348] Exemplarily, the cell DTX configuration and the cell DRX configuration may be simultaneously activated through at least one information block in a group common DCI. Similarly, the cell DTX configuration and the cell DRX configuration may be simultaneously deactivated through at least one information block in a group common DCI.

[0349] Optionally, the above-mentioned discontinuous configuration may include parameters for determining a discontinuous configuration activation time (cell DTX / DRX active time) and a discontinuous configuration inactivation time (cell DTX / DRX non-active time).

[0350] Optionally, the number N of information blocks in the first DCI can be obtained through an RRC message or a system information block (SIB) message.

[0351] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a network device sends a first DCI, which includes N information blocks. The information blocks are used to activate and / or deactivate a discontinuous configuration, and the discontinuous configuration includes at least one of a cell discontinuous transmission DTX configuration and a cell discontinuous reception DRX configuration. Through at least one information block in the above-mentioned first DCI, the terminal can activate or deactivate the discontinuous configuration, and the base station can quickly implement a cell DTX / DRX energy-saving solution when cell DTX / DRX is required, thereby achieving the purpose of base station energy saving.

[0352] Optionally, the N information blocks include one first information block and N-1 second information blocks;

[0353] The first information block is a cell-level information block, and the second information block is a terminal group-level information block.

[0354] It should be noted that the first information block and the second information block have been described in detail in the method embodiment on the terminal side and will not be repeated here.

[0355] Optionally, the information block includes at least one of the following:

[0356] Cell DTX activation or deactivation indication information;

[0357] Cell DRX activation or deactivation indication information;

[0358] Cell DTX configuration identifier;

[0359] Cell DRX configuration identifier;

[0360] The activation time length of the cell DTX configuration;

[0361] The deactivation time length of the cell DTX configuration;

[0362] The activation time length of the cell DRX configuration;

[0363] The deactivation time length of the cell DRX configuration.

[0364] Optionally, the information block further includes at least one of the following:

[0365] Secondary cell DTX activation or deactivation indication information;

[0366] Secondary cell DRX activation or deactivation indication information;

[0367] The cell DTX configuration identifier of the secondary cell;

[0368] The cell DRX configuration identifier of the secondary cell;

[0369] The activation time length of the secondary cell DTX configuration;

[0370] The deactivation time length of the secondary cell DTX configuration;

[0371] The activation time length of the secondary cell DRX configuration;

[0372] The deactivation time length of the DRX configuration of the secondary cell;

[0373] Spatially adaptive patterns.

[0374] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0375] A first RRC message is sent, where the first RRC message is used to indicate at least one information block among the N information blocks.

[0376] By sending the first RRC message, the terminal determines activation and / or deactivation of the discontinuous configuration based on at least one information block indicated by the first RRC message. This approach enables the network device to flexibly use the information block in the first DCI to indicate activation or deactivation of the discontinuous configuration.

[0377] Optionally, the method further includes: sending a second RRC message, where the second RRC message is used to indicate a second information block corresponding to the terminal.

[0378] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second RRC message enables the terminal to obtain the second information block corresponding to the terminal, so that the terminal can subsequently determine the activation or deactivation of the discontinuous configuration based on the second information block of the second RRC message.

[0379] Optionally, the method of the embodiment of the present disclosure further includes:

[0380] Determining a time at which the first DCI takes effect;

[0381] Determine the effective time of activation or deactivation of the discontinuous configuration according to the effective time of the first DCI.

[0382] Optionally, determining the validation time of the first DCI includes:

[0383] Determining a time at which the first DCI takes effect, according to a state of a serving cell of the terminal when the first DCI is received;

[0384] And / or, determining the effective time of the first DCI based on the activation or deactivation status of the discontinuous configuration indicated by the first DCI.

[0385] Optionally, determining the effectiveness time of the first DCI according to the state of the serving cell of the terminal when the first DCI is received includes:

[0386] If the serving cell of the terminal is in a normal cell state and / or in a state where the cell discontinuous configuration is activated when receiving the first DCI, determining that the effective time of the first DCI is the time when the first DCI is received or the time of the next time unit after the first DCI is received, wherein the normal cell state is a state where the discontinuous configuration is not activated;

[0387] If the serving cell of the terminal is in a state of non-continuous cell configuration inactivity time when receiving the first DCI, the effective time of the first DCI is determined to be a time Y time units after the reception time of the first DCI, where Y is a positive integer greater than 1.

[0388] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the implementation scheme of the network device determining the effective time of the first DCI is the same as the implementation scheme of the terminal determining the effective time of the first DCI, which will not be repeated here.

[0389] It should be noted that the information processing method executed by the network device is a method corresponding to the information processing method executed by the above-mentioned terminal. The specific interaction process between the two has been described in detail in the embodiment on the terminal side and will not be repeated here.

[0390] Optionally, the method of the embodiment of the present disclosure further includes:

[0391] If the terminal fails to detect the first DCI in the listening opportunity of the first DCI or determines that the terminal has missed detecting the first DCI, perform at least one of the following:

[0392] The first item: confirm the activation of non-continuous configuration;

[0393] Item 2: Determine the deactivation of the discontinuous configuration;

[0394] Item 3: Determine the current activation or deactivation state of the discontinuous configuration according to the activation or deactivation state of the discontinuous configuration before receiving the first DCI. Item 3 can also be described as determining that the activation or deactivation state of the discontinuous configuration remains unchanged.

[0395] With respect to the first and second items above, determining to activate the discontinuous configuration and / or determining to deactivate the discontinuous configuration includes at least one of the following:

[0396] Determine whether the cell DTX configuration is activated;

[0397] Determine whether the cell DRX configuration is activated;

[0398] Determine whether to deactivate the DTX configuration of the cell;

[0399] Determine whether to deactivate the cell DRX configuration.

[0400] For the third item above, as an optional implementation, determining the activation or deactivation state of the current discontinuous configuration according to the activation or deactivation state of the discontinuous configuration before receiving the first DCI includes:

[0401] The activation or deactivation state of the discontinuous configuration before receiving the first DCI is determined as the activation or deactivation state of the current discontinuous configuration.

[0402] Here, the activation or deactivation state of the current discontinuous configuration is maintained consistent with the activation or deactivation state of the discontinuous configuration before receiving the first DCI. For example, if the cell DTX configuration before receiving the first DCI is in the activated state, the current cell DTX configuration state is in the activated state; if the cell DTX configuration before receiving the first DCI is in the deactivated state, the current cell DTX configuration state is in the deactivated state; if the cell DRX configuration before receiving the first DCI is in the activated state, the current cell DRX configuration state is in the activated state; if the cell DRX configuration before receiving the first DCI is in the deactivated state, the current cell DRX configuration state is in the deactivated state.

[0403] For the third item above, as another optional implementation, determining the activation or deactivation state of the current discontinuous configuration according to the activation or deactivation state of the discontinuous configuration before receiving the first DCI includes:

[0404] The state opposite to the activation or deactivation state of the discontinuous configuration before receiving the first DCI is determined as the activation or deactivation state of the current discontinuous configuration.

[0405] For example, if the cell DTX configuration before receiving the first DCI is in an activated state, the current cell DTX configuration state is in a deactivated state; if the cell DTX configuration before receiving the first DCI is in a deactivated state, the current cell DTX configuration state is in an activated state; if the cell DRX configuration before receiving the first DCI is in an activated state, the current cell DRX configuration state is in a deactivated state; if the cell DRX configuration before receiving the first DCI is in a deactivated state, the current cell DRX configuration state is in an activated state. Optionally, the method of the embodiment of the present disclosure further includes:

[0406] When the energy on the listening opportunity of the first DCI is greater than or equal to the energy threshold, determining that the network-side device has sent the first DCI on the listening opportunity of the first DCI and the terminal has missed detecting the first DCI;

[0407] And / or, when the energy in the listening opportunity of the first DCI is less than the energy threshold, it is determined that the network-side device does not send the first DCI in the listening opportunity of the first DCI.

[0408] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the energy threshold value may be agreed upon by the protocol or configured on the network side, and is not specifically limited here.

[0409] Optionally, as an implementation manner, when the energy on the listening opportunity of the first DCI is greater than or equal to the energy threshold value and a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) check error occurs in the first DCI, it is determined that the network side device has sent the first DCI on the listening opportunity of the first DCI, and the terminal has missed detecting the first DCI;

[0410] Alternatively, when the energy on the listening opportunity of the first DCI is less than the energy threshold and the CRC check of the first DCI is incorrect, it is determined that the network side device does not send the first DCI on the listening opportunity of the first DCI.

[0411] The above solution is described in detail below in conjunction with Example 1.

[0412] Example 1:

[0413] There are two possible transmission schemes for the first DCI:

[0414] Solution 1: The gNB sends the first DCI only when cell DTX / DRX needs to be activated / deactivated. In this case, if the UE does not detect the first DCI during a Monitoring Occasion (MO), the UE cannot distinguish whether the gNB did not send the first DCI or the UE missed the first DCI.

[0415] Solution 2: The gNB sends the first DCI on each MO. In this case, if the UE does not detect the first DCI on the MO, the UE can determine that the first DCI has been missed. In this case, the resource overhead of sending the first DCI on the gNB side is large.

[0416] In the present disclosure, the expressions of the resource location of the first DCI and the monitoring opportunity of the first DCI are consistent, and the resource location and the monitoring opportunity can be replaced in the relevant description of the present disclosure.

[0417] For solution 1, when the UE does not detect the first DCI at the resource location of the first DCI, the UE can also determine whether it has missed the first DCI by the energy at the resource location of the first DCI. For example, the UE can determine the energy at the resource location of the first DCI by itself through an implementation method (for example, the reference signal received power (RSRP)). If the energy at the resource location of the first DCI is high and the CRC check fails, the UE may determine that the gNB sent the first DCI at the resource location of the first DCI but the UE missed detecting the first DCI. If the energy at the resource location of the first DCI is low and the CRC check fails, the UE may determine that the gNB did not send the first DCI at the resource location of the first DCI. For another example, the gNB may configure an energy threshold corresponding to the first DCI for the UE. If the UE determines that the energy at the resource location of the first DCI is greater than or equal to the energy threshold corresponding to the first DCI and the CRC check fails, the UE may determine that the gNB sent the first DCI at the resource location of the first DCI but the UE missed detecting the first DCI. If the UE determines that the energy at the resource location of the first DCI is less than the energy threshold corresponding to the first DCI and the CRC check fails, the UE may determine that the gNB did not send the first DCI at the resource location of the first DCI. Here, the energy at the listening opportunity for the first DCI may be determined by the energy of the demodulation reference signal (DMRS) of the first DCI.

[0418] For Solution 1 and Solution 2, if the UE does not detect the first DCI at the resource location of the first DCI or the UE determines that the first DCI is missed, the UE determines at least one of the following:

[0419] The UE determines that the cell DTX configuration is activated;

[0420] The UE determines that the cell DRX configuration is activated;

[0421] The UE determines that the cell DTX configuration is deactivated;

[0422] The UE determines that the cell DRX configuration is deactivated;

[0423] The activation or deactivation state of the current discontinuous configuration is determined according to the activation or deactivation state of the discontinuous configuration before receiving the first DCI. For example, if the UE does not detect the first DCI at the resource location of the first DCI or the UE determines that the first DCI is missed, the UE considers that the state of the current cell remains unchanged. Specifically:

[0424] When the current cell DTX configuration is activated, if the UE does not detect the first DCI at the resource location of the first DCI or the UE determines that the first DCI is missed, the UE considers that the cell DTX configuration is activated;

[0425] When the current cell DRX configuration is activated, if the UE does not detect the first DCI at the resource location of the first DCI or the UE determines that the first DCI is missed, the UE considers that the cell DRX configuration is activated;

[0426] When the current cell DTX configuration is deactivated, if the UE does not detect the first DCI at the resource location of the first DCI or the UE determines that the first DCI is missed, the UE considers that the cell DTX configuration is deactivated;

[0427] When the current cell DRX configuration is deactivated, if the UE does not detect the first DCI at the resource location of the first DCI or the UE determines that the first DCI is missed, the UE considers that the cell DRX configuration is deactivated.

[0428] In related technologies, when a terminal is configured with a set of C-DRX parameters, it will discontinuously monitor the PDCCH in all serving cells during a C-DRX cycle. The UE only monitors the PDCCH during active C-DRX periods and sleeps during inactive C-DRX periods, thereby reducing UE power consumption. DCI 2_6 can further reduce UE power consumption by indicating whether the UE should wake up to monitor the PDCCH during active C-DRX periods.

[0429] After cell DTX / DRX is activated, the cell periodically switches between active and inactive periods. Specifically, during a cell DTX / DRX cycle, the cell is in active time only for a portion of the time and inactive time for the rest of the time. The resource location of DCI 2_6 may fall within the inactive period, in which case the UE's behavior needs to be discussed.

[0430] Based on this, the method of the embodiment of the present disclosure further includes at least one of the following:

[0431] Item 1: when the terminal monitors the second DCI during the non-continuous configuration inactive time of the cell, start a DRX duration timer (drx-onDurationTimer) of the terminal according to an instruction of the second DCI;

[0432] Item 2: When the terminal does not monitor the second DCI within the non-continuous configuration inactive time of the cell, if the higher layer configures energy-saving indication information, the DRX duration timer of the terminal is started; In addition, this item 2 may also be when the second DCI is configured for the terminal and the terminal does not monitor the second DCI within the non-continuous configuration inactive time of the cell, the DRX duration timer of the terminal is started;

[0433] Item 3: When the terminal does not monitor the second DCI within the non-continuous configuration inactive time of the cell, if the higher layer does not configure energy-saving indication information, and the monitoring opportunities for the second DCI are all within the non-continuous configuration inactive time of the cell, then the DRX duration timer of the terminal is started. In addition, this item 3 can also be described as when the terminal does not monitor the second DCI within the non-continuous configuration inactive time of the cell, if the monitoring opportunities for the second DCI are all within the non-continuous configuration inactive time of the cell, then the DRX duration timer of the terminal is started.

[0434] It should be noted that the above-mentioned cell discontinuous configuration inactive time may specifically be a cell discontinuous transmission inactive time (cell DTX non-active time).

[0435] In addition, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the network side configuration or protocol may stipulate that the terminal monitors the second DCI within the non-continuous configuration inactive time of the cell.

[0436] Optionally, the second DCI is DCI 2_6.

[0437] Optionally, the enabling of the DRX duration timer includes at least one of the following:

[0438] Based on the terminal's DRX slot offset (drx-SlotOffset), start the DRX duration timer;

[0439] The DRX duration timer of the terminal is started at the starting position of the first cell discontinuous configuration activation time (cell DTX active time) located after the second DCI; wherein, the length of the DRX duration timer of the terminal is the same as the length of the DRX duration timer of the terminal configured by the network side device, or the length of the DRX duration timer of the terminal is determined according to the length of the DRX duration timer of the terminal configured by the network side device and / or a second time interval, and the second time interval is determined according to the starting position of the cell discontinuous configuration activation time and / or the DRX time slot offset of the terminal.

[0440] As an implementation manner, the length of the DRX duration timer of the terminal is a difference between the length of the DRX duration timer of the terminal configured by the network side device and the second time interval;

[0441] As an implementation manner, the second time interval is a difference between a start position of the cell discontinuous configuration activation time and a first time unit position determined based on a DRX time slot offset of the terminal.

[0442] Optionally, the method of the embodiment of the present disclosure further includes:

[0443] Monitor the third DCI within a target time period, where the target time period is a time period in the DRX duration period of the terminal that is within the discontinuous configuration activation time of the cell, and the DRX duration period of the terminal is a time period corresponding to the DRX duration timer of the terminal.

[0444] It should be noted that the third DCI is different from the second DCI. The third DCI may be specifically a UE-specific DCI (UE-specific DCI) for scheduling uplink data or downlink data.

[0445] The above scheme is described in detail below in conjunction with Example 2.

[0446] Example 2:

[0447] If the UE is configured with DCI 2_6, and the gNB configuration or protocol specifies that the UE monitors DCI 2_6 within the cell DTX inactive time, the UE can determine whether to start the drx-onDurationTimer based on the indication of DCI 2_6, and at least part of the time period corresponding to the C-DRX on-duration falls within the cell DTX active time;

[0448] (1) If DCI 2_6 instructs the UE to turn on drx-onDurationTimer or wake up, then:

[0449] The UE starts the drx-onDurationTimer after the drx-SlotOffset. At this time, the UE may start the drx-onDurationTimer within the cell DTX inactive time. The UE only monitors the PDCCH (i.e., monitors the third DCI) on the C-DRX on-duration within the cell DTX active time.

[0450] Alternatively, the UE starts the drx-onDurationTimer at the start of the first cell DTX active time after DCI 2_6, and the length of the drx-onDurationTimer is equal to the length of the drx-onDurationTimer configured by the gNB;

[0451] Alternatively, the UE starts the drx-onDurationTimer at the start of the first cell DTX active time after DCI 2_6, and the length of the drx-onDurationTimer is equal to the difference between the drx-onDurationTimer configured by the gNB and a second time interval, where the second time interval is the difference between the start of the cell DTX active time and the first timeslot position after drx-SlotOffset.

[0452] In addition, if the UE does not detect DCI 2_6 and the higher layer does not configure energy-saving indication information (such as ps-Wakeup), the UE does not start drx-onDurationTimer;

[0453] (2) If the UE is configured with DCI 2_6 and the gNB configuration or protocol specifies that the UE does not monitor DCI 2_6 during the cell DTX inactive time:

[0454] If ps-Wakeup is configured by the higher layer, the UE starts drx-onDurationTimer after drx-SlotOffset and monitors the PDCCH (i.e., monitors the third DCI) during the C-DRX on-duration within the cell DTX active time.

[0455] If the higher layer is not configured with ps-Wakeup and all DCI 2_6 monitoring opportunities fall within the cell DTX inactive time, the UE needs to enable drx-onDurationTimer. This means that the UE can monitor the PDCCH (i.e., monitor the third DCI) during the C-DRX on-duration within the cell DTX active time.

[0456] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, for the above-mentioned solution 1, the gNB only sends the first DCI on demand when cell DTX / DRX needs to be activated / deactivated. At this time, when the UE does not detect the first DCI on the MO, the UE cannot distinguish whether the gNB did not send the first DCI or the UE missed detecting the first DCI. Based on solution 1, if the UE misses detecting the first DCI, the impact of the UE detecting DCI 2_6 needs to be discussed.

[0457] Optionally, the method of the embodiment of the present disclosure further includes at least one of the following:

[0458] When the cell discontinuous configuration is in an activated state and the terminal detects the second DCI within the cell discontinuous configuration inactive time (cell DTX non-active time), if the terminal determines that the first DCI is missed, starting a DRX duration timer (drx-onDurationTimer) of the terminal and monitoring the third DCI within a time period corresponding to the DRX duration timer of the terminal;

[0459] When the cell discontinuous configuration is activated and the terminal does not monitor the second DCI within the cell discontinuous transmission inactive time, if the terminal determines that the first DCI has been missed and the monitoring opportunities for the second DCI are all within the cell discontinuous configuration inactive time, the DRX duration timer of the terminal is started, and the terminal monitors the third DCI within the time period corresponding to the DRX duration timer of the terminal;

[0460] When the cell non-continuous configuration is in a deactivated state and the terminal does not monitor the second DCI within the non-activation time of the cell non-continuous configuration, if the terminal determines that the first DCI has been missed and the monitoring opportunities of the second DCI are all within the non-activation time of the cell non-continuous configuration, the DRX duration timer is started and the third DCI is monitored within the target time period, where the target time period is the time period in the DRX duration segment of the terminal that is within the activation time of the cell non-continuous configuration, and the DRX duration segment of the terminal is the time period corresponding to the DRX duration timer of the terminal.

[0461] It should be noted that, optionally, the second DCI is DCI2_6, and the above-mentioned third DCI is different from the second DCI. The third DCI may specifically be a terminal-specific DCI (UE-specific DCI) for scheduling uplink data or downlink data.

[0462] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, when cell DTX is in an activated state and the UE detects DCI 2_6 within the cell DTX inactive time, if the UE determines that the first DCI has been missed, the UE will start the drx-onDurationTimer according to the instruction of DCI 2_6, and the UE will monitor the PDCCH within the C-DRX on-duration (i.e., monitor the third DCI), regardless of whether the C-DRX on-duraiton falls within the cell DTX inactive time.

[0463] When cell DTX is active and the gNB configuration or protocol specifies that the UE does not monitor DCI 2_6 during the cell DTX inactive time, if the UE determines that it has missed the first DCI and all DCI 2_6 monitoring opportunities fall within the cell DTX inactive time, the UE needs to start the drx-onDurationTimer. The UE monitors the PDCCH during the C-DRX on-duration, regardless of whether the C-DRX on-duration falls within the cell DTX inactive time.

[0464] When cell DTX is active and the gNB configuration or protocol specifies that the UE does not monitor DCI 2_6 during the cell DTX inactive time, if the UE determines that it has missed the first DCI and all DCI 2_6 monitoring opportunities fall within the cell DTX inactive time, the UE needs to start the drx-onDurationTimer. The UE only monitors the PDCCH during the C-DRX on-duration during the cell DTX active time.

[0465] Optionally, the method of the embodiment of the present disclosure further includes:

[0466] Determine a start time of a target timer (cellDTX-onDurationTimer) based on the reception time or validation time of the first DCI. The target timer is the duration timer corresponding to the first cell discontinuous configuration activation time after the first DCI. That is, the UE starts the cellDTX-onDurationTimer after receiving the first DCI or after the first DCI becomes valid.

[0467] Optionally, the length of the target timer is less than or equal to the length of the discontinuous configuration duration timer configured by the network side device, and the target timer is the duration timer corresponding to the first cell discontinuous configuration activation time after the first DCI.

[0468] For example, if the UE starts the cellDTX-onDurationTimer after receiving the first DCI or the first DCI becomes valid, the length of the cellDTX-onDurationTimer is equal to the length of the cellDTX-onDurationTimer configured by the base station.

[0469] Optionally, the method of the embodiment of the present disclosure further includes:

[0470] When the length of the target timer is less than the length of the discontinuous configuration duration timer configured by the network side device, the length of the target timer is determined according to at least one of the following:

[0471] The start position (or end position) of the first cell discontinuous configuration inactivation time after the first DCI and / or the reception time or effectiveness time of the first DCI;

[0472] The length of the DRX duration timer of the terminal configured by the network side device and / or the third time interval, the third time interval is determined by the starting position of the original first cell non-continuous configuration activation time and the reception time or effective time of the first DCI, the original first cell non-continuous configuration activation time is determined according to the cell non-continuous configuration parameters, and the starting position of the original first cell non-continuous configuration activation time is located before the listening opportunity of the first DCI.

[0473] As an implementation manner, the third time interval is the difference between the starting position of the original first cell discontinuous configuration activation time and the reception time or effectiveness time of the first DCI.

[0474] Optionally, the above-mentioned cell discontinuous configuration parameters include a cell DTX period, a cell DTX offset, etc. of the cell DTX configuration parameters.

[0475] As shown in FIG8 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing device, which is applied to a terminal and includes a memory 820 , a transceiver 800 , and a processor 810 ;

[0476] The memory 820 is used to store computer programs; the transceiver 800 is used to send and receive data under the control of the processor 810; the processor 810 is used to read the computer program in the memory 820 and perform the following operations:

[0478] The activation or deactivation of the discontinuous configuration is determined based on at least one of the information blocks.

[0479] Optionally, the N information blocks include one first information block and N-1 second information blocks;
