Description

Processing method, communication device and storage medium Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a processing method, communication equipment and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] In order to better achieve network energy saving, there may be cells in the network deployment that support on-demand system message 1 transmission. Such cells will only send system message 1 when they receive an uplink wake-up signal sent by the terminal device to request system message 1 transmission.

[0003] During the process of conceiving and implementing this application, the inventors discovered at least the following problems: the existing protocol does not provide a perfect mechanism for terminal devices to identify the type of cells that support on-demand system message 1 transmission. For example, since such cells only send system message 1 upon receiving an uplink wake-up signal from the terminal device requesting system message 1 transmission, if the terminal device fails to promptly identify such cells and attempts to reside in such cells, the terminal device will fail to reside in them; and / or, when the terminal device attempts to reside in such cells, it may frequently attempt to receive system message 1, thereby increasing the energy consumption of the terminal device; and / or, if the terminal device does not detect any system message 1 within a specified time, the cell will be marked as unavailable, thereby reducing the utilization rate of the cell.

[0111] It should be understood that although the terms "first," "second," "third," etc. may be used herein to describe various information, such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are used solely to distinguish information of the same type from one another. For example, without departing from the scope of this disclosure, first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information. Depending on the context, the term "if," as used herein, may be interpreted as "upon," "when," or "in response to a determination."

[0115] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0116] In the subsequent description, the use of suffixes such as "module", "component" or "unit" to represent elements is only for the purpose of facilitating the description of the present application and has no specific meaning. Therefore, "module", "component" or "unit" can be used interchangeably.

[0117] The communication device in this application can be a terminal device (such as a mobile phone) or a network device (such as a base station). The specific reference needs to be clarified based on the context.

[0120] Please refer to Figure 1, which is a schematic diagram of the hardware structure of a mobile terminal for implementing various embodiments of the present application. The mobile terminal 100 may include components such as an RF (Radio Frequency) unit 101, a WiFi module 102, an audio output unit 103, an A / V (Audio / Video) input unit 104, a sensor 105, a display unit 106, a user input unit 107, an interface unit 108, a memory 109, a processor 110, and a power supply 111. Those skilled in the art will understand that the mobile terminal structure shown in Figure 1 does not limit the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal may include more or fewer components than shown, or may combine certain components, or arrange the components differently.

[0121] The following is a detailed introduction to the various components of the mobile terminal in conjunction with Figure 1:

[0122] The RF unit 101 can be used to send and receive information or receive signals during calls. Specifically, it receives downlink information from the base station and transmits it to the processor 110 for processing. It also transmits uplink data to the base station. Typically, the RF unit 101 includes, but is not limited to, an antenna, at least one amplifier, a transceiver, a coupler, a low-noise amplifier, a duplexer, and / or other components. Furthermore, the RF unit 101 can communicate with the network and other devices via wireless communication. The above-mentioned wireless communications can use any communication standard or protocol, including but not limited to GSM (Global System of Mobile communication), GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), CDMA2000 (Code Division Multiple Access 2000), WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access), TD-SCDMA (Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access), FDD-LTE (Frequency Division Duplexing-Long Term Evolution), TDD-LTE (Time Division Duplexing-Long Term Evolution), 5G and 6G, etc.

[0123] WiFi is a short-range wireless transmission technology. A mobile terminal, through WiFi module 102, enables users to send and receive emails, browse web pages, and access streaming media, providing wireless broadband Internet access. Although FIG1 illustrates WiFi module 102, it is understood that it is not a required component of the mobile terminal and can be omitted as needed without altering the essence of the invention.

[0124] The audio output unit 103 can convert audio data received by the RF unit 101 or the WiFi module 102 or stored in the memory 109 into an audio signal and output it as sound when the mobile terminal 100 is in a call signal reception mode, a talk mode, a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, a broadcast reception mode, or the like. Furthermore, the audio output unit 103 can also provide audio output related to a specific function performed by the mobile terminal 100 (e.g., a call signal reception sound, a message reception sound, etc.). The audio output unit 103 may include a speaker, a buzzer, or the like.

[0125] The A / V input unit 104 is used to receive audio or video signals. The A / V input unit 104 may include a graphics processing unit (GPU) 1041 and a microphone 1042. The GPU 1041 processes image data of still images or videos captured by an image capture device (e.g., a camera) in video capture mode or image capture mode. The processed image frames may be displayed on the display unit 106. The image frames processed by the GPU 1041 may be stored in the memory 109 (or other storage medium) or transmitted via the RF unit 101 or the WiFi module 102. The microphone 1042 may receive sound (audio data) in operating modes such as phone call mode, recording mode, and voice recognition mode, and may process such sound into audio data. In phone call mode, the processed audio (voice) data may be converted into a format that can be transmitted to a mobile communication base station via the RF unit 101. The microphone 1042 may implement various types of noise cancellation (or suppression) algorithms to eliminate (or suppress) noise or interference generated during the reception and transmission of audio signals.

[0126] The mobile terminal 100 also includes at least one sensor 105, such as a light sensor, a motion sensor, and other sensors. Optionally, the light sensor includes an ambient light sensor and a proximity sensor. Optionally, the ambient light sensor can adjust the brightness of the display panel 1061 according to the brightness of the ambient light, and the proximity sensor can turn off the display panel 1061 and / or the backlight when the mobile terminal 100 is moved to the ear. As a type of motion sensor, the accelerometer sensor can detect the magnitude of acceleration in all directions (generally three axes), and can detect the magnitude and direction of gravity when stationary. It can be used for applications that recognize the posture of the mobile phone (such as horizontal and vertical screen switching, related games, magnetometer posture calibration), vibration recognition related functions (such as pedometer, tapping), etc.; as for other sensors that can be configured in the mobile phone, such as fingerprint sensors, pressure sensors, iris sensors, molecular sensors, gyroscopes, barometers, hygrometers, thermometers, infrared sensors, etc., they will not be described here.

[0127] The display unit 106 is used to display information input by the user or information provided to the user. The display unit 106 may include a display panel 1061, which may be configured in the form of a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), or the like.

[0128] The user input unit 107 can be used to receive input digital or character information and generate key signal input related to user settings and function control of the mobile terminal. Optionally, the user input unit 107 may include a touch panel 1071 and other input devices 1072. The touch panel 1071, also known as a touch screen, can collect user touch operations on or near it (such as operations performed by the user using a finger, stylus, or any other suitable object or accessory on or near the touch panel 1071) and drive corresponding connected devices according to a pre-set program. The touch panel 1071 may include two parts: a touch detection device and a touch controller. Optionally, the touch detection device detects the user's touch direction and detects the signal generated by the touch operation, and transmits the signal to the touch controller; the touch controller receives the touch information from the touch detection device and converts it into touch point coordinates, which are then sent to the processor 110. It can also receive and execute commands sent by the processor 110. And / or, the touch panel 1071 can be implemented using various types such as resistive, capacitive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave. In addition to the touch panel 1071, the user input unit 107 may further include other input devices 1072. Optionally, the other input devices 1072 may include, but are not limited to, one or more of a physical keyboard, function keys (such as volume control keys, power keys, etc.), a trackball, a mouse, a joystick, etc., and the specifics are not limited here.

[0129] Optionally, the touch panel 1071 may overlay the display panel 1061. When the touch panel 1071 detects a touch operation on or near it, it transmits the information to the processor 110 to determine the type of touch event.
