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

[0167] In some embodiments, the core network device includes, for example, at least one of an Evolved Packet Core (EPC), a 5G Core Network (5GCN), and a Next Generation Core (NGC).

[0168] It can be understood that the communication system described in the embodiment of the present disclosure is for the purpose of more clearly illustrating the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure, and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure. Ordinary technicians in this field can know that with the evolution of the system architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0169] The following embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to the communication system 100 shown in FIG1a, or a portion thereof, but are not limited thereto. The entities shown in FIG1a are illustrative only. The communication system may include all or part of the entities shown in FIG1a, or may include other entities other than those shown in FIG1a. The number and form of the entities may be arbitrary. The connection relationship between the entities is illustrative only.

[0170] The embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE-Advanced (LTE-A), LTE-Beyond (LTE-B), SUPER 3G, IMT-Advanced, 4th generation mobile communication system (4G), 5th generation mobile communication system (5G), 5G new radio (NR), future radio access (FRA), new radio access technology (RAT), new radio (NR), new radio access (NX), future generation radio access (FX), Global System for Mobile communications (GSM (registered trademark)), CDMA2000, Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.20, Ultra-WideBand (UWB), Bluetooth (registered trademark), Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) networks, Device-to-Device (D2D) systems, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) systems, Internet of Things (IoT) systems, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X), systems utilizing other communication methods, and next-generation systems based on and extending these methods.

[0171] eMBB continues to focus on providing users with multimedia content, services, and data, and demand for this technology is growing rapidly. However, since eMBB can be deployed in diverse scenarios, such as indoors, in urban areas, and in rural areas, its capabilities and requirements vary significantly. Therefore, it's not possible to generalize and requires detailed analysis based on specific deployment scenarios.

[0172] Typical applications of URLLC include industrial automation, power automation, remote medical operations (surgery), traffic safety, etc.

[0173] Typical features of mMTC include: high connection density, small data volume, latency-insensitive services, low module cost and long service life.

[0174] 3GPP standard Release 15 (R15) introduced 5G technology. 5G terminals consume very high energy. To save energy, many terminal energy-saving technologies have been introduced, such as Connection-Discontinuous Reception (C-DRX) and measurement relaxation, which are supported by both 4G and 5G.

[0175] To further achieve terminal energy saving, 3GPP standard version 16 (Release 16, R16) introduced a wake-up signal (WUS) for RRC_CONNECTED terminals to save energy. An offset in front of the terminal C-DRX duration defines a duration for sending the WUS signal. During this WUS duration, the WUS signal, i.e., DCI 2-6, is sent and scrambled by the Power Saving-Radio Network Temporary Identifier (PS-RNTI), to indicate whether the terminal should wake up to monitor the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) during the next UE C-DRX duration, or wake up.

[0176] In 3GPP standard version 17 (Release 17, R17), a paging wake-up signal (paging WUS) was introduced to save energy for terminals in the RRC idle state (RRC_IDLE) / RRC inactive state (RRC_INACTIVE). That is, the paging WUS, also known as the paging early indication (PEI), is sent at a certain moment before the paging occasion (PO) to indicate whether the terminal is monitoring paging scheduling information at the PO. The PEI is DCI 2-7, scrambled by the Paging Early Indication-Radio Network Temporary Identifier (PEI-RNTI).

[0177] To further enhance terminal energy conservation, 3GPP standard Release 18 (R18) introduced a low-power wake-up receiver (LP WUR), also known as a low-power wake-up signal (LP-WUS). As shown in Figure 1b, in the R18 LP WUS research project, a base station sends an LP WUS to a terminal to wake up its main transceiver when it is asleep. While the terminal's main transceiver is asleep, a separate low-power receiver receives the LP WUS. Upon receiving the LP WUS, the terminal's main receiver wakes up to perform data transmission and reception operations. The terminal's low-power receiver consumes significantly less power than the terminal's main receiver.

[0178] FIG2a is an interactive diagram illustrating an information transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2a, the present disclosure embodiment relates to an information transmission method for a communication system 100, the method comprising:

Optionally, if the first information instructs the terminal to receive a first type of LP-WUS in an RRC connected state, the terminal receives the first type of LP-WUS in the RRC connected state and does not receive a second type of LP-WUS.

[0184] In some embodiments, the first information is used to instruct the terminal to receive the second type of LP-WUS when in the RRC connected state.

Optionally, if the first information instructs the terminal to receive the first type LP-WUS and the second type LP-WUS in the RRC connected state, the terminal receives the first type LP-WUS and the second type LP-WUS in the RRC connected state.

[0186] In some embodiments, the first information indicates configuration information for at least one of a first-class LP-WUS and a second-class LP-WUS. Based on the configuration indicated by the first information, the terminal determines to receive at least one of the first-class LP-WUS and the second-class LP-WUS. Alternatively, if the first information indicates configuration information for the first-class LP-WUS, the terminal determines to receive the first-class LP-WUS. Alternatively, if the first information indicates configuration information for the second-class LP-WUS, the terminal determines to receive the second-class LP-WUS. Alternatively, if the first information indicates configuration information for both the first-class LP-WUS and the second-class LP-WUS, the terminal determines to receive the first-class LP-WUS and the second-class LP-WUS.

[0187] In some embodiments, there may be multiple first information, which are used to indicate the configuration information of the first type LP-WUS and the configuration information of the second type LP-WUS respectively.

[0188] In some embodiments, the terminal receives the LP-WUS through a low power receiver (LP-WUR, or LR for short), and wakes up the main receiver (MR) of the terminal through the LP-WUR. The power consumption of the LP-WUR is less than that of the MR.

[0189] In some embodiments, the LP-WUS is used to trigger the low power receiver to wake up the main receiver.

[0190] In some embodiments, the MR is not limited to being used for receiving wireless signals, but can also be used for sending wireless signals.

[0191] In some embodiments, the LP-WUR receives / processes low power wake-up related signals / channels (eg, LP-WUS).

[0192] In some embodiments, in addition to receiving low-power wake-up related signals / channels (such as LP-WUS), the MR can also operate on NR signals / channels (e.g., transmit (Tx) / receive (Rx)).

For example, the public warning information may include at least one of the following: Earthquake and Tsunami Warning System (ETWS) information; Commercial Mobile Alert Service (CMAS) information.

[0201] In some embodiments, if the system message of the cell changes and / or the public warning PWS (ETWS and CMAS) needs to be sent, the network device notifies the terminal in the RRC connected state through LP-WUS (dedicated LP-WUS and / or public LP-WUS).

[0202] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2b , the time domain position of the system message includes the starting time domain position of the changed system message.

[0206] In some embodiments, the time domain offset value may include the offset SFN number.

[0207] In some embodiments, the time domain position at which the changed system message takes effect may also be referred to as the change boundary of the system message, that is, the system message does not change before the change boundary, and changes after the change boundary.

[0208] In some embodiments, the network device may send configuration information of an LP-WUS (first type LP-WUS and / or second type LP-WUS) to the terminal, and the terminal may receive the LP-WUS (first type LP-WUS and / or second type LP-WUS) based on the configuration information.

[0209] In some embodiments, the configuration information of the first type LP-WUS is carried in dedicated signaling (such as RRC signaling).

[0210] In some embodiments, the configuration information of the second type LP-WUS is carried in a system message (eg, a system message block).

[0211] In some embodiments, the configuration information of the first type LP-WUS and the configuration information of the second type LP-WUS are carried by the first information.

[0212] In some embodiments, the configuration information of the LP-WUS (first type LP-WUS and / or second type LP-WUS) may be received by the MR when the terminal is in an RRC connected state.

[0215] The first type of LP-WUS and the second type of LP-WUS are transmitted through the same frequency band.

[0216] In some embodiments, the network device transmits a first type LP-WUS and a second type LP-WUS in a first frequency band and a second frequency band, respectively. For example, the first frequency band may be FR2, and the second frequency band may be FR1.

[0217] In some embodiments, the network device transmits the first type LP-WUS and the second type LP-WUS in the same frequency band. For example, the network device transmits the first type LP-WUS and the second type LP-WUS in FR1. The network device transmits the first type LP-WUS and the second type LP-WUS in FR2.

[0218] In some embodiments, step 2101 may be omitted, and the first information is specified by the communication protocol. The terminal determines to receive at least one of the first type LP-WUS and the second type LP-WUS according to the first information specified by the communication protocol.

[0219] Step S2102: The network device sends an LP-WUS.

[0220] In some embodiments, the terminal uses the same low power consumption receiver to receive the first type LP-WUS and the second type LP-WUS.

[0221] In some embodiments, the terminal has one and only one low-power receiver, and the terminal uses the low-power receiver to receive the first type LP-WUS and the second type LP-WUS.

[0222] In some embodiments, the terminal has multiple low-power receivers, and the terminal uses one low-power receiver to receive the first type LP-WUS and the second type LP-WUS based on the configuration of the network device or the provisions of the communication protocol.

[0224] In some embodiments, the network device sends the first type LP-WUS and the second type LP-WUS in a time division multiplexing manner, that is, the time domain position at which the network device sends the first type LP-WUS is different from the time domain position at which the network device sends the second type LP-WUS.

[0225] In some embodiments, the network device may indicate a time division multiplexing pattern (TDM pattern) or a gap pattern (Gap pattern) to the terminal through first information. The time division multiplexing pattern (TDM pattern) or the gap pattern (Gap pattern) may be a time division multiplexing configuration of the first type LP-WUS and the second type LP-WUS.

[0226] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate that the terminal receives a first type of LP-WUS and a second type of LP-WUS. Then, the first information is also used to indicate at least one of a first time domain position associated with the first type of LP-WUS and a second time domain position associated with the second type of LP-WUS, wherein the first time domain position is different from the second time domain position.

[0227] In some embodiments, the first time domain location associated with the first type of LP-WUS includes at least one of the following: receiving the time domain location of the first type of LP-WUS and not receiving the time domain location of the first type of LP-WUS.

[0232] whether a second type of LP-WUS is received in an Nth time slot of a predetermined first cycle;

[0233] Whether the second type LP-WUS is received in the Mth system frame of the predetermined first period.

[0234] Exemplarily, the time division multiplexing pattern indicates a bitmap corresponding to all time slots in a first period, where each bit in the bitmap corresponds to a time slot and is used to indicate whether the time slot can receive the second LP-WUS (common LP-WUS). For example, a time slot corresponding to a bit indicated as 0 in the bitmap can receive the second LP-WUS. Alternatively, a time slot corresponding to a bit indicated as 1 in the bitmap can receive the second LP-WUS.

[0235] Exemplarily, the time division multiplexing pattern indicates a bitmap corresponding to all time slots within a period, where each bit in the bitmap corresponds one-to-one to a system frame and is used to indicate whether the system frame can receive the second LP-WUS (common LP-WUS). For example, a system frame corresponding to a bit indicated as 0 in the bitmap can receive the second LP-WUS. Alternatively, a system frame corresponding to a bit indicated as 1 in the bitmap can receive the second LP-WUS.

[0236] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0237] a second period, the second period comprising: at least one of a first period during which the second type of LP-WUS is received and a second period during which the second type of LP-WUS is not received;

[0238] The time domain offset value between the start time of the second period and the reception time of the first information.

[0239] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate a gap pattern of the second type LP-WUS, that is, the first information is used to indicate a first period during which the terminal receives the second type LP-WUS and a second period during which the terminal does not receive the second type LP-WUS within the second period.

[0240] In some embodiments, the first period of time may be referred to as a duration.

[0241] In some embodiments, the first information may also be used to determine a start time of the second cycle.

[0242] In some embodiments, the time domain offset value may include one of the following: the number of time slots, the number of system frames.

[0243] In some embodiments, the first type LP-WUS carries a first identifier, wherein the first identifier is used to indicate the type of the first type LP-WUS; and / or the second type LP-WUS carries a second identifier, wherein the second identifier is used to indicate the type of the second type LP-WUS.

[0244] In some embodiments, if the network device is not configured for time-division multiplexing of the first type LP-WUS and the second type LP-WUS, the network device may carry a first identifier in the first type LP-WUS and / or a second identifier in the second type LP-WUS. The first identifier and the second identifier are used to indicate the type of the first type LP-WUS and the second type LP-WUS, respectively.

[0245] In some embodiments, the first identifier and the second identifier are respectively used for the terminal to determine the type of the received LP-WUS.

[0246] In some embodiments, if the LP-UWS received by the terminal carries a first identifier, the terminal determines that the received LP-WUS is a first-type LP-WUS (i.e., a dedicated LP-WUS). If the LP-UWS received by the terminal carries a second identifier, the terminal determines that the received LP-WUS is a second-type LP-WUS (i.e., a public LP-WUS).

[0380] FIG6 is an interactive diagram illustrating an information transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG6 , the present disclosure embodiment relates to an information transmission method for a communication system 100, and the method includes one of the following steps:

[0381] Step S6101: The network device sends first information to the terminal.

[0382] In some embodiments, the first information is used by the terminal to determine whether to receive at least one of a first type of low power wake-up signal LP-WUS and a second type of LP-WUS in a radio resource control RRC connected state, wherein the first type of LP-WUS is used for the terminal to receive in the RRC connected state, and the second type of LP-WUS is used for the terminal to receive in the RRC connected state and the RRC non-connected state.

[0383] For optional implementation methods of step S5101, please refer to step S2101 of Figure 2a, step S2201 of Figure 2c, step S3101 of Figure 3a, step S3201 of Figure 3b, step S4101 of Figure 4a, step S4201 of Figure 4b, step S5101 of Figure 5, and other related parts in the embodiments involved in Figures 2a, 2c, 3a, 3b, 4a, 4b, and 5, which will not be repeated here.

[0384] In some embodiments, the above method may include the methods of the above embodiments on the communication system side, terminal side, network device side, etc., which will not be repeated here.

[0385] The following provides a specific example in combination with any of the above embodiments:

[0386] Option 1:

[0387] For an RRC connected (RRC_CONNECTED) terminal, if dedicated LP-WUS monitoring is configured, the terminal does not need to monitor the public LP-WUS. The dedicated LP-WUS is configured through RRC dedicated signaling, while the public LP-WUS is configured through system broadcast.

[0388] The only reason an RRC-connected terminal needs to monitor paging messages is to receive notifications of system broadcast changes. Therefore, if a cell's system broadcast information changes, or if a public warning (PWS) (ETWS and CMAS) message needs to be sent, the network device notifies the RRC-connected terminal via a dedicated LP-WUS. The LP-WUS also notifies the system of the boundaries of the broadcast change, such as the starting SFN number of the change boundary or the number of offset SFNs received relative to the LP-WUS.

[0389] Option 2:

[0390] For RRC connected terminals, if dedicated LP-WUS monitoring is configured and public LP-WUS is also configured, the terminal needs to monitor both the dedicated LP-WUS and the public LP-WUS. The dedicated LP-WUS is configured through RRC dedicated signaling, while the public LP-WUS is configured through system broadcast.

[0391] To receive both private LP-WUS and public LP-WUS:

[0392] Option 1.1: For a terminal with only one LP-WUR, and the dedicated LP-WUS and public LP-WUS are sent from different frequency layers, such as F1 and F2 respectively, the network configures a time division multiplexing (TDM) pattern or a gap pattern to receive the dedicated LP-WUS and public LP-WUS in a time division manner.

[0393] The TDM pattern may indicate a period and a bitmap corresponding to all time slots (slots) / system frame numbers (SFNs) within a period. Each bit in the bitmap corresponds to a slot / SFN and is used to indicate a slot / SFN that can receive a public LP-WUS. For example, a slot / SFN corresponding to a bit indicated as 0 or a bit indicated as 1 in the bitmap can receive a public LP-WUS.

[0394] The configuration of the gap pattern is a period, an offset, and a duration, during which a public LP-WUS can be received.

[0395] Option 1.2: For a terminal with only one LP_WUS, and the dedicated LP-WUS and the public LP-WUS are sent from the same frequency layer, the LP-WUS indicates whether the LP-WUS is for the public LP-WUS or the dedicated LP-WUS.

[0396] Option 2: For a terminal with only two LP_WURs, the network side configures instruction information to instruct the terminal to use different LP-WURs to receive a dedicated LP-WUS and a public LP-WUS respectively.

[0397] The only reason RRC-connected terminals need to monitor paging messages is to receive notifications of system broadcast changes. Therefore, if a cell's system broadcast information changes, or if a public warning (PWS) (ETWS and CMAS) needs to be sent, the network notifies the RRC-connected terminal via the public LP-WUS. The LP-WUS also notifies the system of the boundaries of the broadcast change, such as the starting SFN number of the change boundary or the number of offset SFNs received relative to the LP-WUS.

[0398] LP-WUS and LP-SS configuration information includes:

[0399] FR indication, for example, indicating whether it is applied on FR1, FR2, or a higher frequency;

[0400] The monitoring duty cycle of LP-WUS;

[0401] Frequency domain resources and / or time domain resources monitored by LP-WUS;

[0402] Subchannel index, such as 20 subchannels in a 5 MHz frequency resource;

[0403] The time slot index within a cycle;

[0404] The scrambling code used to address the UE (e.g., the scrambling code within a subchannel and / or time slot);

[0405] Validity area or timer of LP-WUS configuration;

[0406] LP-WUS activates / deactivates a specific group of Radio Network Temporary Identity (RNTI);

[0407] LP-WUS waveform;

[0408] Beam scanning related configurations for LP-WUS transmission;

[0409] Frequency offset and / or downlink (DL) timing offset between MR and LR.

[0410] The embodiments of the present disclosure further provide an apparatus for implementing any of the above methods. For example, an apparatus is provided, comprising units or modules for implementing each step performed by a terminal in any of the above methods. For another example, another apparatus is provided, comprising units or modules for implementing each step performed by a network device (e.g., an access network device, a core network function node, a core network device, etc.) in any of the above methods.

All units or modules of the above devices can be realized in the form of software called by the processor, or in the form of hardware circuits, or in part by the form of software called by the processor, and the rest by hardware circuits.

In a reconfigurable hardware circuit, the process of the processor loading a configuration document and implementing the hardware circuit configuration can be understood as the process of the processor loading instructions to implement the functions of some or all of the above units or modules. In addition, it can also be a hardware circuit designed for artificial intelligence, which can be understood as an ASIC, such as a neural network processing unit (NPU), a tensor processing unit (TPU), a deep learning processing unit (DPU), etc.
