However, no energy-saving operations are performed on the transmission and reception of other signals, such as the transmission of common reference signals. This means that common reference signals are always transmitted, and these signals still consume a significant portion of the energy consumed by network nodes, resulting in poor energy-saving effects in existing networks.

[0057] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0058] The terms "first," "second," and the like in the description and claims of the present disclosure are used to distinguish similar objects but not necessarily to describe a particular sequence or order.

[0059] For ease of understanding, some contents involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure are described below:

[0060] Existing network energy-saving transmission methods typically instruct network nodes to use energy-saving technologies on the power and base station radio frequency side when sending PDSCH. However, for the transmission and reception of other signals, such as the transmission of public reference signals, no energy-saving operations are performed. In other words, public reference signals are always sent, and these signals still occupy a large part of the energy consumption of network nodes, resulting in poor energy-saving effects in existing networks.

[0061] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide an energy-saving method for waking up a network node. When the network node is in a shutdown or energy-saving state before being awakened, the above-mentioned common signal does not need to be sent. At the same time, the radio frequency and baseband of the base station can be turned off or energy-saving, thereby achieving an energy-saving effect. Its energy-saving efficiency is 100%. However, after shutting down the network node, the original coverage area of ​​the network node will be covered by other network nodes, but because the coverage is far away, the service performance is not necessarily good, so a means of waking up the base station is also needed. When the network node is awakened, the effect and performance of its service will be better than the scenario covered by other adjacent network nodes. The related art lacks technical means to put the base station to sleep, save energy, and wake up the base station when needed. The embodiments of the present disclosure provide an energy-saving method for waking up a network node, which takes into account the communication coverage of the network while saving energy.

[0062] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a transmission method, a terminal, a node, a device, and a medium to solve the problem of poor energy saving effect in existing networks.

[0063] Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a transmission method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, which is used for a terminal. As shown in FIG. 1 , the method includes the following steps:

[0064] Step 101: Receive configuration information sent by a first network node or a second network node.

[0065] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present disclosure are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of the same type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects related to each other are in an "or" relationship.

[0066] It is understandable that when a network node is turned off or is power-saving, the network node does not send any signal, including downlink synchronization signal / physical broadcast channel signal block or synchronization signal block (Synchronization Signal and PBCH block, SSB) or system information block (System Information Block, SIB) scenarios, the user equipment (User Equipment, UE) cannot synchronize with the target cell downlink and send an uplink wake-up signal for waking up the second network node, and the UE lacks a downlink timing reference. Specifically, because the target cell does not send or does not send the SSB for the UE's transmission reference at certain moments, the signal composition, transmission timing, transmission direction, etc. of the wake-up signal may not be defined, and the direction of the signal sent cannot reuse the existing transmission behavior. Based on this, the embodiment of the present disclosure uses the first network node or the second network node to perform the transmission of configuration information.

[0067] As shown in FIG2 , the first network node (network node on the left side of the figure) can be understood as a currently working network node, and the second network node (network node on the right side of the figure) can be understood as a network node to be awakened.

[0068] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the above transmission method may transmit at least one of data, signal, channel, and sequence.

[0069] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, a network node may be understood as a base station, a cell, or a network-side device, and / or a carrier or a subcarrier (component carrier). A network-side device may include an access network device or a core network device, wherein the access network device may also be referred to as a radio access network (RAN) device, a radio access network function, or a radio access network unit. The access network device may include a base station, a wireless local area network (WLAN) access point (AP), or a wireless fidelity (WiFi) node, etc. Among them, the base station can be called Node B (NB), Evolved Node B (eNB), the next generation Node B (gNB), New Radio Node B (NR Node B), access point, Relay Base Station (RBS), Serving Base Station (SBS), Base Transceiver Station (BTS), radio base station, radio transceiver, Basic Service Set (BSS), Extended Service Set (ESS), Home Node B (HNB), Home evolved Node B (home evolved Node B), Transmission Reception Point (TRP) or other appropriate terms in the relevant field. As long as the same technical effect is achieved, the base station is not limited to specific technical vocabulary.

[0070] The TRP may be a CORESET or a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) corresponding to a different CORESET pool index, or a PDSCH, a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), a signal and / or a channel with a different Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI) state or spatial relation (spatial filter). A spatial filter refers to a spatial filter.

[0071] The transmission methods of the above configuration information include:

[0072] Mode 1: The first network node sends configuration information to the terminal, and the terminal sends a wake-up signal (ie, the first message in step 102 below) based on the configuration information sent by the first network node, as shown in FIG3 .

[0073] Mode 2: The second network node sends configuration information to the terminal, and the terminal sends a wake-up signal (first message) based on the configuration information sent by the second network node.

[0074] It can be understood that the first network node is in a working state. For example, the first network node is cell 1, the UE works in the cell 1, and the UE can obtain configuration information from the first network node.

[0075] The second network node is in a shutdown state, a discontinuous transmission (DTX) state, a discontinuous reception (DRX) state, a power saving state, or a sleep state. The second network node can transmit and receive during a specific time or time window (such as duration, period, or time window). The terminal can receive the configuration information during the specific time or time window.

[0076] Optionally, the second network node sends configuration information; wherein, the configuration information includes the configuration of the first message, and the second network node sends the configuration information in a broadcast or multicast manner, or can send it through a master information block (master system information block) (MIB) or SIB information.

[0077] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0078] receiving second indication information sent by the first network node;

[0079] The second indication information indicates a time or a time window for the terminal to receive the configuration information or indicates a working time or an active time or a transmission time of the second network node.

[0080] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first network node may inform the terminal of the time or time window for receiving the above configuration information through the second indication information, specifically, the time or time window for informing the terminal to receive the configuration information sent by the second network node.

[0081] For example, the configuration information can also be received within the downlink transmission time window of the second cell; cell 1 (first network node) indicates the downlink transmission time (time window) of cell 2 (second network node), and the terminal performs downlink reception within the time (time window) to obtain relevant configuration information; the corresponding behavior is that cell 1 indicates the downlink transmission time of UE cell 2, and the UE receives within the corresponding time of cell 2 to obtain configuration information for waking up cell 2.

[0082] Optionally, the configuration information includes at least one of the following:

[0083] offset information, where the offset is an offset associated with the second network node;

[0084] Transmission opportunity information;

[0085] configuration information of the second network node;

[0086] Configuration information of the first message.

[0087] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by configuring the above information to the terminal, the terminal is enabled to send a wake-up message (first message) to the second network node based on the above configuration information.

[0088] Optionally, the offset information includes at least one of the following:

[0089] a first offset, where the first offset is an offset of a system frame number SFN of the first network node relative to an SFN of the second network node, or the first offset is an offset of the SFN of the second network node relative to the SFN of the first network node;

[0090] a second offset, wherein the second offset is an offset of a receiving time window of the second network node;

[0091] And / or, the transmission opportunity information includes at least one of the following:

[0092] a first transmission opportunity, wherein the first transmission opportunity comprises an opportunity for the second network node to receive an uplink transmission;

[0093] a second transmission opportunity, wherein the second transmission opportunity comprises an opportunity for the terminal to send an uplink transmission;

[0094] And / or, the configuration information of the second network node includes at least one of the following:

[0095] a transmission period of the second network node;

[0096] a transmission time window of the second network node;

[0097] duration of the transmission time window of the second network node;

[0098] Parameters related to the carrier spacing of the second network node;

[0099] a time division duplex (TDD) configuration of the second network node;

[0100] And / or, the configuration information of the first message includes at least one of the following:

[0101] One or more uplink signals or channels;

[0102] One or more sequences;

[0103] The sending direction of the first message.

[0104] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, since the UEs all operate under the first network node (e.g., the current cell or cell 1), the timing can be referenced to the current serving cell (the first network node), and then a wake-up signal (wake-up signal) of the second network node (the target cell, the closed energy-saving cell or cell 2) is sent. Alternatively, since the target base station (the second network node) is in a completely closed state, the UE cannot refer to the downlink of the target base station (the second network node) to send an uplink signal. Therefore, the downlink of the current cell (the first network node) can be used as a reference for the downlink timing (DL timing) of the target cell sending the signal.

[0105] Optionally, a first offset (SFN offset) may be set, that is, an offset of a system frame number (SFN) of the first network node relative to the SFN of the second network node, or the first offset is an offset of the SFN of the second network node relative to the SFN of the first network node. Based on obtaining the first offset, the UE can send the first message (wake-up signal) with reference to the current downlink time of the first network node.

[0106] Exemplarily, SFN mod period=offset.

[0107] Optionally, the offset value may include at least one of the following information: system frame offset, subframe information, time slot information, and symbol information.

[0108] Optionally, a second offset may be set, ie, an offset of the receiving time window of the second network node, which may include information of a subframe and a time slot within the corresponding subframe.

[0109] Optionally, a first transmission opportunity and / or a second transmission opportunity may be configured, wherein the first transmission opportunity includes an opportunity for the second network node to receive an uplink transmission; and the second transmission opportunity includes an opportunity for the terminal to send an uplink transmission. Multiple occasions or occasion groups may be configured for reception corresponding to the first transmission opportunity, and multiple occasions or occasion groups may be configured for transmission corresponding to the second transmission opportunity.

[0110] Exemplarily, as shown in FIG4 , multiple occasions are configured for reception. This may be because, when a single reception fails to meet the demodulation threshold, the base station may receive in multiple receiving windows or occasions. This allows for multiple attempts on the one hand, and energy accumulation from multiple receptions on the other.

[0111] Correspondingly, the UE may perform multiple transmissions in multiple occasions corresponding to the uplink.

[0112] The uplink occasion may be a plurality of uplink time slots starting from a specified system frame and / or subframe as an occasion;

[0113] Each occasion can be one or more time slots;

[0114] Considering that the UE does not send uplink according to the downlink timing of the second network device (for example, base station 2), the target cell may receive the signal with a certain deviation, and the definition of occasion can facilitate the definition of multiple transmissions or receptions of the UE.

[0115] The base station (the first network node or the second network node) may instruct the UE to transmit multiple times, for example, 4 times or 8 times, so as to wake up the target base station.

[0116] Optionally, the first transmission opportunity includes at least one of the following:

[0117] The transmission opportunity indicated by the first indication information, wherein the first indication information is indication information sent by the first network node;

[0118] A transmission opportunity determined according to a time at which the terminal receives the first indication information;

[0119] a transmission opportunity determined according to the transmission opportunity information;

[0120] Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) opportunity;

[0121] Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) transmission opportunities or time domain resources;

[0122] A transmission opportunity is determined according to a third offset, wherein the third offset is an offset relative to a PRACH opportunity.

[0123] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned transmission opportunity can be understood as a sending opportunity or a receiving opportunity.

[0124] In the disclosed embodiment, the transmission opportunity Occasion may be a physical random access channel (PRACH) opportunity, for example, an uplink PRACH signal of a UE triggered by a base station via a PDCCH as a wake-up signal. Another method for determining the transmission opportunity Occasion may be to superimpose an offset on an existing random access channel (RACH) occasion and transmit the signal within the uplink time slot of the corresponding offset. The advantage of transmitting the signal during a non-RACH occasion (RO) can reduce the risk of conflict with the PRACH, reduce interference with the PRACH, reduce the impact on the PRACH capacity, and prevent the UE-initiated contention-based random access (CBRA) from waking up a sleeping base station, i.e., preventing non-target, non-awakened base stations or cells from being woken up. In other words, both the network node and the UE can assume that this is not a random access process, and therefore there is no need to initiate the subsequent RACH process (e.g., a 4-step RACH process).

[0125] Optionally, the sending a first message to the second network node according to the configuration information includes at least one of the following:

[0126] sending the first message to the second network node during a transmission period of the second network node;

[0127] sending the first message to the second network node in a transmission time window of the second network node;

[0128] The first message is sent to the second network node for a duration of the second network node's transmission time window.

[0129] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the transmission period may be a receiving and / or sending period, the transmission time window (duration, period, time window) may be a receiving and / or sending time window, or the transmission time window may be a transmission time.

[0130] The base station (the second network node) performs uplink reception and / or downlink transmission within the aforementioned reception and transmission time windows. The reception period is a period for uplink reception, and the transmission period is a period for downlink transmission. The base station (the second network node) performs uplink reception or transmission within the aforementioned time window or its duration. The terminal performs uplink transmission or transmission within the corresponding transmission time window or time window. The terminal performs downlink reception or transmission within the corresponding downlink time window.

[0131] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the reception time window of the second network node corresponds to the transmission of the terminal or the time window of the terminal transmission. Within the time window of the terminal transmission, the terminal can send or transmit.

[0132] Optionally, the receiving period and / or receiving duration (duration) of the second network node or the duration of the transmission time window can be set. The above-mentioned receiving period can also be understood as the working period or activation period of the second network node, and can also be understood as the receiving time period of the second network node. The above-mentioned receiving time window can be a working time window or an activation time window. The above-mentioned terminal sends the first message to the second network node according to the configuration information. In the case where the configuration information includes the transmission period and / or transmission time window of the second network node, the terminal can send the first message to the second network node within the transmission period of the second network node, and / or the transmission time window (or transmission time), and / or the duration of the transmission time window.

[0133] Since the UE cannot achieve good downlink synchronization with the second network node (target cell), the duration can be larger to ensure that the second network node can correctly demodulate these uplink signals that cannot be accurately timed. For example, the duration can be one or two time slots.

[0134] Optionally, parameters related to the carrier spacing of the second network node may be set.

[0135] Parameters related to the carrier spacing may be, for example, the carrier spacing and / or a scaling factor of the carrier spacing. Different carrier spacings correspond to different time slot lengths and the number of time slots in a subframe.

[0136] Optionally, a time division duplex (TDD) configuration of the second network node may be set, for example, a TDD-UL-DL configuration, where UL refers to uplink and DL refers to downlink.

[0137] In this way, the UE can transmit in the corresponding uplink time slot of the second network node. In order to quickly activate or start the target base station, it can start working in the corresponding uplink time slot without adjusting the timing and TDD configuration. The UE can also transmit in the uplink time slot within the available system frame or subframe. The UE can transmit in the corresponding multiple uplink time slots, thereby improving the efficiency of waking up the base station. Transmission in non-uplink time slots may cause interference to the downlink users of this cell. Through TDD information configuration, the occurrence of this situation can be reduced.

[0138] Optionally, configuration information of the first message may be set.

[0139] The configuration information of the first message includes the content, direction, and sequence of the first message, for example, one or more sequences for configuring PRACH.

[0140] As an optional method, the above-mentioned first message can be PRACH or a channel detection reference signal (Sounding Reference Signal, SRS) or a wake-up signal (Wake Up Signal, WUS). The advantage is that there is no need to re-modify the physical layer signal of the UE or base station, the implementation is relatively easy, and the existing sending and receiving modules and algorithms can be reused.

[0141] In an optional manner, the sequence in which the first message is sent may be a specific sequence.

[0142] This specific sequence can be negotiated between multiple network nodes or pre-configured. Because cell base stations are activated by users, there's no need to identify specific users. Therefore, a fixed sequence is beneficial for detecting the awakened base station. Furthermore, if a network node can receive a wake-up signal from multiple users, the probability of waking up the base station can be increased. The base station can trigger transmissions from multiple UEs, as the signals are identical, increasing transmission energy and resolving transmission direction issues.

[0143] Optionally, the one or more sequences are preset sequences.

[0144] A unified, consistent or determined sequence can solve the problem of insufficient UE transmission energy and facilitate the detection and energy accumulation of the awakened base station. It can also facilitate multiple UEs to transmit in different directions and solve the problem of difficulty in determining the direction of a base station without SSB.

[0145] In related technologies, many signals refer to the transmission direction of SSB, or refer to SSB (consider SSB as reference or refer to), but the dormant base station does not send SSB. An optional method is to allow the UE to send in the direction opposite to the current serving base station (first network node).

[0146] Using a single sequence or a small number of sequences can reduce PRACH resource usage. Even when reusing existing RACH occasions, this can reduce the impact on PRACH capacity. For example, if configured in Set B (different from Set A, which is dedicated to CBRA), it will not be affected by CBRA initiated by the UE's initial access. This means that the base station will not be randomly awakened without user access.

[0147] The direction in which the UE sends the first message may be the same direction or different directions, or may be determined based on UE implementation. The direction may be a transmission configuration or a transmission configuration indicator, or a spatial filter, or a spatial relation, etc.

[0148] Using the same direction can improve the received energy; different directions are based on the consideration that the current serving cell (or base station) cannot use its own SSB or Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) as the spatial filter or spatial relationship sent by the UE. Sending in different directions can increase the probability of the network node successfully receiving the first message. Different directions can be different directions for sending the above-mentioned first message between different UEs, or different directions for the same UE to send the first message multiple times.

[0149] Step 102: Send a first message to the second network node according to the configuration information; wherein the configuration information includes the configuration of the first message; and the first message is used to wake up the second network node.

[0150] Waking up the second network node may be understood as enabling the second network node to perform downlink transmission or uplink transmission, or triggering the second network node to perform downlink transmission or uplink transmission. Optionally, the second node performing downlink transmission may be the second network node sending SSB and / or MIB or SIB information. Optionally, waking up the second network node may be triggering or enabling the second network node to perform downlink transmission, or triggering or enabling the second network node to send SSB and / or MIB or SIB information.

[0151] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0152] receiving first indication information sent by the first network node;

[0153] The first indication information is used to instruct the terminal to send the first message.

[0154] In the disclosed embodiment, the sending of the first message may be triggered based on indication information from the first network node. The sending of the first indication information may be performed by the same network node as the sending of the configuration information, or by different network nodes; the sending of the first indication information may be performed simultaneously with the sending of the configuration information, or may be performed at different times.

[0155] The first network node may send the first indication information when it finds that the reference signal receiving power (RSRP) value or other receiving power of one or more UEs is lower than a threshold, thereby triggering the UE to send a wake-up symbol.

[0156] Optionally, the first indication information sent by the first network node to the terminal includes:

[0157] When the measurement results of one or more candidate terminals meet a preset threshold, the first network node sends the first indication information to a target terminal, where the target terminal is one or more of the candidate terminals.

[0158] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the measurement result may be an RSRP value or other reference signal measurement result. The first network node may send the first indication information to one terminal or to multiple terminals. The terminal executing the method in the embodiment of the present disclosure is one of the target terminals.

[0159] The above-mentioned satisfying the preset threshold may be any one of greater than the preset threshold, greater than or equal to the preset threshold, less than the preset threshold, less than or equal to the preset threshold, and equal to the preset threshold.

[0160] Optionally, the sending a first message to the second network node according to the configuration information includes:

[0161] When the receiving power of the terminal meets a preset threshold, a first message is sent to the second network node according to the configuration information.

[0162] In the disclosed embodiment, the sending of the first message may also be triggered by the terminal's autonomous determination based on the magnitude of received power. The received power may be an RSRP value or a Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR). The "satisfying a preset threshold" may be any one of greater than a preset threshold, greater than or equal to a preset threshold, less than a preset threshold, less than or equal to a preset threshold, or equal to a preset threshold.

[0163] Optionally, the sending a first message to the second network node according to the configuration information includes:

[0164] The first message is sent to the second network node n times according to the configuration information, where n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0165] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the probability of successful awakening of the second network node is increased by sending the first message multiple times. The sending directions (or transmission configuration (or TCI state) or spatial relation or spatial filter) of the n first messages are the same or different. The same direction can improve the received energy; the different directions take into account that the current service cell (or base station) cannot use its own SSB or CSI-RS as the spatial filter or spatial relationship sent by the UE. Sending in different directions can increase the probability of the network node successfully receiving the first message. Similarly, the spatial filters of the n first messages can also be the same or different. That is, the transmission methods of the n first messages can be the same or different.

[0166] Optionally, the sending the first message to the second network node includes:

[0167] Sending the first message to the second network node at a first time;

[0168] The first time includes at least one of the following:

[0169] First time slot, first transmission opportunity, first timing.

[0170] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first time may be determined according to the configuration information, or may be determined according to the first indication information, or other preset methods.

[0171] Optionally, the first time slot includes at least one of the following:

[0172] an uplink timestamp of the second network node determined according to the TDD configuration of the second network node;

[0173] A time slot within a system frame or subframe; wherein the system frame or subframe is determined according to at least one item of the offset information;

[0174] The time slot indicated by the first indication information, wherein the first indication information is indication information sent by the first network node;

[0175] A time slot determined according to the time when the terminal receives the first indication information;

[0176] And / or, the first transmission opportunity includes at least one of the following:

[0177] the transmission opportunity indicated by the first indication information;

[0178] A transmission opportunity determined according to a time at which the terminal receives the first indication information;

[0179] a transmission opportunity determined according to the transmission opportunity information;

[0180] Physical Random Access Channel PRACH opportunity;

[0181] Sounding reference signal SRS transmission opportunity or time domain resource;

[0182] A transmission opportunity determined according to a third offset, wherein the third offset is an offset relative to a PRACH opportunity;

[0183] And / or, the first timing includes at least one of the following:

[0184] Timing determined according to an uplink sending time of the first network node;

[0185] Timing determined according to a downlink sending time of the first network node;

[0186] The timing is determined according to a fourth offset, where the fourth offset is an offset relative to the current time indicated by the first network node.

[0187] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in mode 1, the base station instructs the sending of a wake-up signal at a determined time slot, and the sending may be configured to be k times.

[0188] The specific uplink transmission time may be directly indicated through DCI.

[0189] The UE can transmit on multiple time slots or time domain resources, and the transmission method can be configured to transmit in the same direction or different directions. The direction can be a spatial relationship or a spatial filter, or a beam, or a TCI state. The k transmissions can be transmitted on k consecutive time slots, or on k consecutive uplink time slots, or on k occasions. The k uplink time slots are based on the k uplink available time slots configured by the current base station. For example, based on the TDD configuration, it is judged to be an uplink or flexible time slot, where the flexible time slot or symbol does not overlap with the SSB; k occasions, based on the above configuration, such as SFN offset, period, system frame offset, subframe number, starting symbol, etc., multiple wake-up occasions are defined for transmission.

[0190] Transmitting through uplink time slots can avoid interference to downlink users in the cell that may be caused by transmitting in non-uplink time slots.

[0191] Mode 2, indicated and triggered by the base station, does not specify a specific time. The UE transmits the wakeup message only on the occasion determined by the configuration information after the Downlink Control Information (DCI) indicates it. The message can be sent multiple times, for example, k times, based on the above configurations, such as SFN offset, period, system frame offset, subframe number, and start symbol, to define multiple wakeup occasions.

[0192] Optionally, it can be a triggering method for one or more UEs, which is indicated or triggered in a group common manner or a group manner. After receiving the DCI, the users in the user group or the indicated users send a wake-up signal to wake up the target cell. That is, the first network node sends the first indication information in a broadcast or multicast manner. All UEs in the user group that receive the DCI send a wake-up signal, thereby solving the energy problem and the directionality problem. By not limiting the transmission direction of the UE and enabling multiple users to transmit at the same time, the effect of omnidirectional transmission is achieved, or it makes it easier for the target base station to receive the transmitted signal.

[0193] Based on the scheduling and instruction of the current serving base station (first network node), the first message is sent:

[0194] a) It can avoid the problem of waking up the base station due to UE sending PRACH arbitrarily

[0195] b) The base station can determine that the target cell of the UE or the target cell of the handover is an unawakened or disabled cell through the information of the target UE, such as mobility information and RSRP information. Therefore, the awakening of the dormant base station is more targeted, preventing the UE from arbitrarily awakening some dormant cells or base stations that may not be used.

[0196] Based on the occasion of the wake-up signal, the problem of the timing reference of uplink signal transmission is solved when the dormant base station does not send SSB. At the same time, it also avoids the problem of the dormant base station having to monitor the UE wake-up signal at any time, avoiding additional energy consumption.

[0197] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the time or timing of sending the uplink signal may also adopt at least one of the following methods:

[0198] Method 1: Refer to the current uplink transmission timing of the cell (first network node);

[0199] Method 2: Use the downlink reference time of the current cell as the uplink transmission time; refer to the downlink reception timing of the UE;

[0200] Method 3: The base station indicates an offset under the existing timing as the time for uplink transmission; this time can be a time offset estimated based on factors such as the propagation distance between the first network node (e.g., base station 1) and the second network node (e.g., base station 2), to ensure that the signal sent by the UE can be received by the second network node (the dormant base station).

[0201] Optionally, the first time includes k time slots, where k is a positive integer greater than 1, and the k time slots are k consecutive time slots, or the k time slots are k consecutive uplink time slots, or the k time slots are k transmission opportunities.

[0202] Optionally, the first transmission opportunity includes multiple sub-transmission opportunities, where each sub-transmission opportunity is one or more time slots.

[0203] Optionally, multiple transmission opportunities may be determined based on the first transmission opportunity. The multiple transmission opportunities may be used for multiple transmissions of the first signal, and each transmission opportunity may be one or more time slots.

[0204] Optionally, the first transmission opportunity includes one or more time slots.

[0205] Optionally, the second network node receives a first message sent by the terminal, enabling the second network node to perform downlink transmission or uplink transmission.

[0206] The second network node performs downlink transmission including sending a downlink signal or channel, or sending SSB or SIB information, etc.

[0207] Exemplarily, a dormant (for example, a base station in DTX and / or DRX state) or turned-off base station, that is, base station 2, starts sending SSB and / or MIB or SIB information after receiving the wake-up signal. In other words, waking up base station 2 enables base station 2 to send SSB and / or MIB or SIB information.

[0208] Specifically, after receiving the wake-up signal or correctly receiving the wake-up signal, or the energy of the received wake-up signal meets (for example, greater than, equal to, or greater than or equal to, less than, less than or equal to) a certain threshold, the base station starts downlink transmission or uplink transmission. The transmission method in this embodiment receives configuration information sent by the first network node or the second network node; according to the configuration information, sends a first message to the second network node; wherein the configuration information includes the configuration of the first message; the first message is used to wake up the second network node. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the energy-saving method of waking up the network node is used to improve the energy-saving efficiency of the communication system.
