[0003] The present application belongs to the field of communication technology, and specifically relates to an information measurement method, a terminal, and a network-side device. Background Art

[0004] In traditional communication systems, in order to meet the low-power communication needs of terminals, a low-power receiver (LP-WUR) can be introduced into the terminal. The basic working principle of LP-WUR is that the terminal includes a first module and a second module. The first module is a main communication module, which can be used to receive communication data transmitted by the transmitter and send communication data. The second module is a low-power module, which can be used to receive a low-power wake-up signal (LP-WUS) and a low-power synchronization signal (LP-SS). The low-power wake-up signal can be used to wake up the main communication module, and the low-power synchronization signal can be used to provide time reference information and other information for receiving the low-power wake-up signal.

[0044] The information measurement method, terminal, and network-side device provided in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to some embodiments and their application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0045] As shown in FIG2 , an embodiment of the present application provides an information measurement method 200 , which can be executed by a terminal. In other words, the information measurement method can be executed by software or hardware installed in the terminal. The information measurement method includes the following steps.

[0046] S202: The low power receiver LP-WUR of the terminal receives a first signal, where the first signal includes a low power synchronization signal LP-SS or a synchronization signal block SSB.

[0047] The terminal includes a low power wake up receiver (LP-WUR). In a multi-beam scenario, the LP-WUR of the terminal can receive a first signal. The first signal can be sent by a network side device. The first signal can be a low power synchronization signal (LP-SS), or a synchronization signal block (SS / PBCH Block, SSB), or LP-SS and SSB. Among them, in a multi-beam scenario, when the LP-WUR of the terminal receives the first signal, the receiving mode can be omnidirectional reception.

[0048] S204: The terminal measures the first signal to obtain a first measurement result.

[0049] After receiving the first signal, the terminal may measure the first signal to obtain a measurement result. For ease of distinction, the measurement result may be referred to as a first measurement result. The terminal measuring the first signal may be performed by the terminal's LP-WUR.

[0050] Optionally, in some implementations, the terminal measuring the first signal may include any one of the following (1) to (3):

[0051] (1) If the terminal supports the LP-WUR measurement LP-SS capability, LP-SS is measured.

[0052] For example, if the LP-WUR of the terminal only supports reception of on-off keying (OOK) sequences, the terminal supports the LP-WUR measurement LP-SS capability, that is, the LP-WUR of the terminal is capable of performing measurements based on LP-SS. In this case, the terminal measures the first signal, which may be LP-SS.

[0053] (2) If the terminal supports the LP-WUR SSB measurement capability, measure the SSB.

[0054] For example, if the LP-WUR of the terminal only supports the reception of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) sequences, the terminal supports the LP-WUR SSB measurement capability, that is, the LP-WUR of the terminal is capable of performing measurements based on SSB. In this case, the terminal measures the first signal, which may be an SSB.

[0055] (3) When the terminal supports the capability of LP-WUR to measure LP-SS and SSB, the measured signal is determined from LP-SS and SSB according to the configuration information of the network-side device; and the measured signal is measured.

[0056] When the terminal's LP-WUR supports OFDM sequence reception, or supports both OFDM sequence reception and OOK reception, the terminal supports the LP-WUR's ability to measure LP-SS and SSB, meaning the terminal's LP-WUR is capable of performing measurements based on both LP-SS and SSB. In this case, whether the terminal measures LP-SS or SSB can be configured by the network device, meaning the terminal can determine the signal under test based on the network device's configuration information and then measure the signal under test.

[0057] The configuration information of the network-side device can be used for any of the following:

[0058] Instructs to measure LP-SS;

[0059] Instructs to measure SSB;

[0060] Indicates measurement of either LP-SS or SSB signal;

[0061] Instructs to measure LP-SS and SSB;

[0062] The instruction determines the measured signal according to the first rule.

[0063] If the configuration information indicates to measure the LP-SS, the terminal may measure the LP-SS. If the configuration information indicates to measure the SSB, the terminal may measure the SSB. If the configuration information indicates to measure either the LP-SS or SSB signal, the terminal may independently decide to measure the LP-SS or SSB. If the configuration information indicates to measure both the LP-SS and SSB, the terminal may measure both the LP-SS and SSB. If the configuration information indicates to determine the measured signal according to a first rule, the terminal may determine the measured signal from the LP-SS and SSB according to the first rule and measure the measured signal. The first rule may be a predefined rule. When determining the measured signal according to the first rule, for example, if the terminal's LP-WUR supports reception of OFDM sequences and there are SSBs available for measurement within the LP-WUR operating bandwidth (for example, NCD-SSBs (Non-Cell Defined SSBs) are within the LP-WUR operating bandwidth), the terminal may measure the SSB; otherwise, it may measure the LP-SS.

[0064] The configuration information of the network side device can be terminal-specific signaling, or terminal group-specific signaling (for example, for a terminal group that supports OFDM sequence reception), or cell-specific signaling. Terminal group-specific signaling can be sent in the form of unicast, multicast or broadcast. The configuration information can be an explicit configuration or an implicit configuration. For example, if the network side device configures LP-SS in the system information but does not configure the OFDM sequence used by LP-SS, or does not configure LP-SS, it can be considered that the network side device implicitly configures LP-WUR. The terminal based on OFDM sequence reception does not measure LP-SS, but measures SSB.

[0065] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the configuration information indicates measurement of LP-SS and SSB, the configuration information is further used to configure a first threshold and a second threshold. The first threshold is the threshold used by the terminal when activating or deactivating LP-WUR based on the measurement results of LP-SS, and the second threshold is the threshold used by the terminal when activating or deactivating LP-WUR based on the measurement results of SSB. The first threshold and the second threshold may be the same or different, that is, the network-side device may configure the same threshold or different thresholds for LP-SS and SSB.

[0066] After measuring the first signal, the terminal may obtain a corresponding first measurement result. Specifically, when the terminal measures the LP-SS, the first measurement result is the measurement result of the LP-SS. When the terminal measures the SSB, the first measurement result is the measurement result of the SSB. When the terminal measures the LP-SS and SSB, the first measurement result is the measurement result of the SSB. The first measurement result may include a measurement result of the cell channel quality. Optionally, in some embodiments, the measurement result of the cell channel quality may include a radio link monitoring (RLM) measurement result, a radio resource management (RRM) measurement result, and a channel state information (CSI) measurement result, or other forms of measurement results that can reflect the cell channel quality (for example, correct demodulation probability). The cell may include at least one of a serving cell and a neighboring cell.

[0067] Optionally, in some implementations, the first measurement result for the LP-SS may include measurement results corresponding to different transmission opportunity sets. A transmission opportunity set (occasion set) includes one or more transmission occasions (occasion), and a transmission occasion may be a transmission occasion of the LP-SS. Alternatively, the first measurement result for the LP-SS may also include a measurement result corresponding to the LP-SS with an LP-SS index index.

[0068] Optionally, in some embodiments, the measurement result of the SSB may include a measurement result corresponding to the SSB of the SSB index index. The SSB here may be the SSB indicated in ssb-PositionsInBurst, or the SSB configured by the network side device for LP-WUR measurement, or the SSB to be measured configured when configuring the synchronization signal block measurement timing configuration (SS / PBCH block Measurement Timing Configuration, SMTC).

[0069] S206: The terminal determines a second measurement result according to the first measurement result, where the second measurement result includes at least one of a beam-level measurement result and a cell-level measurement result.

[0070] After measuring the first signal and obtaining the first measurement result, the terminal may determine a second measurement result based on the first measurement result. The second measurement result may be a beam-level measurement result, a cell-level measurement result, or a beam-level measurement result and a cell-level measurement result. The beam-level measurement result may be a beam-level measurement result for LP-SS, SSB, or LP-SS and SSB. The cell-level measurement result may be a cell-level measurement result for LP-SS, SSB, or LP-SS and SSB.

[0071] Optionally, in some implementations, when the first measurement result includes a measurement result of the cell channel quality, the second measurement result may also include a measurement result of the cell channel quality. The measurement result of the cell channel quality includes at least one of an RLM measurement result, an RRM measurement result, and a CSI measurement result, or other forms of measurement results that can reflect the cell channel quality (for example, correct demodulation probability). The cell may include at least one of a serving cell and a neighboring cell. The second measurement result corresponds to the first measurement result. For example, if the first measurement result is an RRM measurement result of an LP-SS, the second measurement result is a beam-level RRM measurement result or a cell-level RRM measurement result of the LP-SS.

[0072] Optionally, in some embodiments, when determining the second measurement result according to the first measurement result, at least one of the following may be included:

[0073] determining a beam-level measurement result based on the first measurement result;

[0074] The cell-level measurement result is determined based on the beam-level measurement result.

[0075] That is, when the second measurement result is a beam-level measurement result, the beam-level measurement result can be determined based on the first measurement result. When the second measurement result includes a cell-level measurement result, the beam-level measurement result can be first determined based on the first measurement result, and then the cell-level measurement result can be derived based on the beam-level measurement result.

[0076] When determining a beam-level measurement result based on the first measurement result, optionally, in some embodiments, when the first signal includes an LP-SS signal and the first measurement result includes measurement results corresponding to different transmission opportunity sets or measurement results corresponding to LP-SSs with LP-SS indexes, the terminal may generate beam-level measurement results for different transmission opportunity sets and generate beam-level measurement results for different LP-SS indexes. This may include any of the following:

[0077] Merging LP-SS measurement results in first transmission opportunities, and determining the combined result as a beam-level measurement result, where the first transmission opportunities are transmission opportunities in the same transmission opportunity set within different target time periods;

[0078] Merging the LP-SS measurement results in the second transmission opportunity and determining the combined result as the beam-level measurement result, where the second transmission opportunity is a transmission opportunity in the same transmission opportunity set within the same target time period;

[0079] Determine the LP-SS measurement result in a third transmission opportunity as the beam-level measurement result, where the third transmission opportunity is any transmission opportunity in the same transmission opportunity set within the same target time period;

[0080] Merging the LP-SS measurement results corresponding to the same LP-SS index within different target time periods, and determining the merged result as the beam-level measurement result;

[0081] Merge the LP-SS measurement results corresponding to the same LP-SS index within the same target time period, and determine the merged result as the beam-level measurement result;

[0082] The measurement result of any LP-SS corresponding to the same LP-SS index within the same target time period is determined as the beam-level measurement result.

[0083] The target time period may be a period for measuring the LP-SS signal, or an integer multiple of the period for measuring the LP-SS signal, and is not specifically limited here. When merging the LP-SS signal measurement results, the LP-SS signal measurement results may be superimposed, for example, by weighted averaging.

[0084] Optionally, in some other embodiments, when the terminal determines the beam-level measurement result based on the first measurement result, if the first signal includes an SSB and the first measurement result includes a measurement result corresponding to an SSB with an SSB index index, the terminal may generate beam-level measurement results for different SSB indexes index respectively. This may include any of the following:

[0085] Merge the measurement results of the SSBs corresponding to the same SSB index in different target time periods, and determine the merged result as the beam-level measurement result;

[0086] Merge the measurement results of the SSBs corresponding to the same SSB index within the same target time period, and determine the merged result as the beam-level measurement result;

[0087] The measurement result of any SSB corresponding to the same SSB index within the same target time period is determined as the beam-level measurement result.

[0088] The target time period may be a period for measuring the SSB, or an integer multiple of the period for measuring the SSB, and is not specifically limited here. When the SSB measurement results are combined, the SSB measurement results may be superimposed, for example, by weighted averaging.

[0089] After obtaining a beam-level measurement result for the LP-SS or SSB according to the first measurement result, when determining a cell-level measurement result for the LP-SS or SSB according to the beam-level measurement result, optionally, in some implementations, any one of the following may be included:

[0090] Determine the measurement result of the beam with the best beam quality as the cell-level measurement result;

[0091] Determine the measurement result of the beam with the worst beam quality as the cell-level measurement result;

[0092] Determine the measurement results of the multiple beams as cell-level measurement results;

[0093] Determine the measurement results of the M1 beams with the best beam quality as the cell-level measurement results;

[0094] Determining the measurement result of the beam whose beam quality is greater than the third threshold as the cell-level measurement result;

[0095] Determine the measurement results of the M2 beams whose beam qualities are greater than the third threshold as the cell-level measurement results;

[0096] The measurement result of the beam with the worst beam quality among the beams whose beam quality is greater than the third threshold is determined as the cell-level measurement result.

[0097] The above-mentioned M1 and M2 are both integers greater than 0 and less than or equal to the total number of beams, which can be defined by the standard or configured by the network-side device and are not specifically limited here. The above-mentioned third threshold can be defined by the standard or configured by the network-side device and is not specifically limited here.

[0098] Based on the methods described in S202 to S206 above, in a multi-beam scenario, when the terminal communicates with the network side device based on LP-WUR, it can measure the channel quality based on the received signal.

[0099] Optionally, in some implementations, after obtaining the second measurement result according to the first measurement result of the LP-SS or SSB, the terminal may further include the following steps:

[0100] The terminal determines whether to activate or deactivate the LP-WUR in the terminal according to at least one of the power consumption status, the second measurement result, and the third measurement result.

[0101] The third measurement result includes the measurement result of the SSB by the main receiver (Main radio, MR) in the terminal. The SSB here may be the same as or different from the SSB received in S202 above, and is not specifically limited. Among them, the measurement result of the SSB by the MR may include at least one of a beam-level measurement result and a cell-level measurement result. The measurement result of the SSB by the MR may include a measurement result of the cell channel quality, and the measurement result of the cell channel quality may include at least one of an RLM measurement result, an RRM measurement result, and a CSI measurement result, or other forms of measurement results that can reflect the cell channel quality (for example, correct demodulation probability). The cell may include at least one of a serving cell and a neighboring cell.

[0102] The LP-WUR in the terminal can support one or more receiving modes, and different receiving modes correspond to different power consumption and receiving performance. In the case where the LP-WUR supports one receiving mode, the one receiving mode can be an OOK receiving mode or an OFDM receiving mode, etc. In the case where the LP-WUR supports multiple receiving modes, the multiple receiving modes can at least include an OOK receiving mode and an OFDM receiving mode. In this way, when the terminal determines to activate or deactivate the LP-WUR in the terminal based on at least one of the power consumption status and the coverage status (such as the second measurement result and the third measurement result), it can include:

[0103] In a case where the LP-WUR supports a receiving mode, determining whether to activate or deactivate the LP-WUR according to at least one of the power consumption state, the second measurement result, and the third measurement result;

[0104] In the case that the LP-WUR supports multiple receiving modes, it is determined to activate a receiving mode or deactivate the LP-WUR according to at least one of the power consumption status, the second measurement result, and the third measurement result.

[0105] Among them, when LP-WUR supports one receiving mode, when activating or deactivating LP-WUR, it can be to activate or deactivate the receiving mode supported by LP-WUR. When activating or deactivating this receiving mode, it means activating or deactivating LP-WUR. When LP-WUR supports multiple receiving modes, only one receiving mode is allowed to be activated at the same time. In this way, when activating LP-WUR, it can be to activate one of the receiving modes supported by LP-WUR. At this time, other modes are in a deactivated state. When deactivating, it can be to deactivate all receiving modes supported by LP-WUR. When all receiving modes supported by LP-WUR are deactivated, it means deactivating LP-WUR.

[0106] Optionally, in some embodiments, the power consumption state of the terminal may be a low power state or a normal power state. When the terminal determines to activate or deactivate LP-WUR based on the power consumption state, if the power consumption state is a low power state, the terminal may activate LP-WUR; if the power consumption state is a normal power state, the terminal may deactivate LP-WUR. Among them, when activating LP-WUR, if LP-WUR supports one receiving mode, this receiving mode may be activated or deactivated; if LP-WUR supports multiple receiving modes, one of the receiving modes may be activated; which receiving mode to activate may be determined by the terminal or determined according to a predefined method, which is not specifically limited here.

[0107] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the LP-WUR of the terminal supports one or more reception modes, the terminal may determine, based on at least one of the second measurement result and the third measurement result, whether to activate or deactivate the LP-WUR, including:

[0108] Determining whether to activate or deactivate LP-WUR according to at least one of a beam-level measurement result in the second measurement result and a beam-level measurement result in the third measurement result;

[0109] Determining whether to activate or deactivate LP-WUR according to at least one of a beam-level measurement result in the second measurement result and a cell-level measurement result in the third measurement result;

[0110] Determining whether to activate or deactivate LP-WUR according to at least one of a cell-level measurement result in the second measurement result and a beam-level measurement result in the third measurement result;

[0111] It is determined whether to activate or deactivate the LP-WUR according to at least one of the cell-level measurement result in the second measurement result and the cell-level measurement result in the third measurement result.

[0112] That is to say, when the terminal determines to activate or deactivate LP-WUR, it can make a judgment based on the beam-level measurement result, or based on the cell-level measurement result, or based on the beam-level measurement result and the cell-level measurement result. The beam-level measurement result can be at least one of the beam-level measurement result in the second measurement result (i.e., the beam-level measurement result of LP-WUR to LP-SS or SSB) and the beam-level measurement result in the third measurement result (i.e., the beam-level measurement result of MR to SSB), and the cell-level measurement result can be at least one of the cell-level measurement result in the second measurement result (i.e., the cell-level measurement result of LP-WUR to LP-SS or SSB) and the cell-level measurement result in the third measurement result (i.e., the cell-level measurement result of MR to SSB).

[0113] Determining, based on at least one of the beam-level measurement result in the second measurement result and the beam-level measurement result in the third measurement result, whether to activate or deactivate the LP-WUR may include:

[0114] When the beam-level measurement result in the second measurement result is greater than or equal to a sixth threshold or the beam-level measurement result in the third measurement result is greater than or equal to a seventh threshold, determining to activate the LP-WUR;

[0115] In a case where the beam-level measurement result in the second measurement result is less than the eighth threshold or the beam-level measurement result in the third measurement result is less than the ninth threshold, it is determined to deactivate LP-WUR.

[0116] Among them, when determining to activate or deactivate LP-WUR, the measurement result of the beam level of LP-WUR to LP-SS or SSB can be compared with the sixth threshold and the eighth threshold, and the measurement result of the beam level of MR to SSB can be compared with the seventh threshold and the ninth threshold. If the comparison result is that the measurement result of the beam level of LP-WUR to LP-SS or SSB is greater than or equal to the sixth threshold or the measurement result of the beam level of MR to SSB is greater than or equal to the seventh threshold, LP-WUR can be activated. If the comparison result is that the measurement result of the beam level of LP-WUR to LP-SS or SSB is less than the eighth threshold or the measurement result of the beam level of MR to SSB is less than the ninth threshold, LP-WUR can be deactivated.

[0117] The sixth and eighth thresholds mentioned above may be the same or different, that is, when determining whether to activate or deactivate LP-WUR based on the beam-level measurement results in the second measurement results, the thresholds used may be the same or different, and in different cases, the sixth threshold may be greater than the eighth threshold. The seventh and ninth thresholds mentioned above may be the same or different, that is, when determining whether to activate or deactivate LP-WUR based on the beam-level measurement results in the third measurement results, the thresholds used may be the same or different, and in different cases, the seventh threshold may be greater than the ninth threshold. In addition, the sixth threshold may be the same as or different from the seventh threshold, and the eighth threshold may be the same as or different from the ninth threshold.

[0118] The sizes of the sixth threshold, the seventh threshold, the eighth threshold, and the ninth threshold may be defined by a standard or configured by a network-side device, and are not specifically limited here.

[0119] The beam-level measurement result in the second measurement result may be determined in one or more ways. Optionally, when there are multiple ways of determining the beam-level measurement result, the beam-level measurement result determination methods used when determining activation and deactivation of LP-WUR based on the beam-level measurement result in the second measurement result may be the same or different. For example, the second measurement result is a beam-level measurement result of the LP-SS. When determining the beam-level measurement result of the LP-SS, the combined result of the measurement results of the LP-SS corresponding to the same LP-SS index within the same target time period can be determined as the beam-level measurement result, or the combined result of the measurement results of the LP-SS corresponding to the same LP-SS index within different target time periods can be determined as the beam-level measurement result. Then, when determining whether to activate or deactivate the LP-WUR, whether to activate the LP-WUR can be determined based on the combined result of the measurement results of the LP-SS corresponding to the same LP-SS index within the same target time period, whether to deactivate the LP-WUR can be determined based on the combined result of the measurement results of the LP-SS corresponding to the same LP-SS index within different target time periods, or whether to activate or deactivate the LP-WUR based on the combined result of the measurement results of the LP-SS corresponding to the same LP-SS index within the same target time period, or whether to activate or deactivate the LP-WUR based on the combined result of the measurement results of the LP-SS corresponding to the same LP-SS index within different target time periods.

[0120] The beam-level measurement result in the third measurement result may be determined in one or more ways. Optionally, when there are multiple determination methods, the beam-level measurement result determination methods used when determining activation and deactivation of LP-WUR based on the beam-level measurement result in the third measurement result may be the same or different, and detailed examples are not provided here.

[0121] In a multi-beam scenario, both the beam-level measurement results in the second measurement result and the beam-level measurement results in the third measurement result may include multiple values. When comparing the beam-level measurement results in the second or third measurement results with a threshold, the threshold may be a single threshold or a group of thresholds (each threshold may correspond to a beam and be used for comparison with the measurement result of the beam). In other words, the sixth, seventh, eighth, or ninth thresholds described above may be a single threshold or a group of thresholds.

[0122] Taking the sixth threshold as an example, when the sixth threshold is a single threshold, when comparing the beam-level measurement result in the second measurement result with the sixth threshold, the measurement results of multiple beams can be compared with the sixth threshold respectively. When the sixth threshold is a group of thresholds, when comparing the beam-level measurement result in the second measurement result with the sixth threshold, the measurement result of each beam can be compared with the corresponding sixth threshold. Wherein, when the sixth threshold is a single threshold, the beam-level measurement result in the second measurement result is greater than or equal to the sixth threshold, which can be that the measurement results of Z1 beams are greater than or equal to the sixth threshold, or the average value of the measurement results of multiple beams is greater than or equal to the sixth threshold, where Z1 is an integer greater than 0 and less than or equal to the total number of beams, and can be determined by the terminal, defined by the standard, or configured by the network-side device. When the sixth threshold is a group of thresholds, the beam-level measurement result in the second measurement result is greater than or equal to the sixth threshold, which may be that the measurement result of Z2 beams is greater than or equal to the corresponding sixth threshold, where Z2 is an integer greater than 0 and less than or equal to the total number of beams, which may be the same as or different from Z1, and may be determined by the terminal, defined by the standard, or configured by the network-side device.

[0123] When determining whether to activate or deactivate the LP-WUR based on at least one of the beam-level measurement result in the second measurement result and the cell-level measurement result in the third measurement result, or when determining whether to activate or deactivate the LP-WUR based on at least one of the cell-level measurement result in the second measurement result and the beam-level measurement result in the third measurement result, or when determining whether to activate or deactivate the LP-WUR based on at least one of the cell-level measurement result in the second measurement result and the cell-level measurement result in the third measurement result, the measurement result may also be compared with a corresponding threshold, and activation or deactivation of the LP-WUR may be determined based on the comparison result. For details, see the implementation method for determining whether to activate or deactivate the LP-WUR based on at least one of the beam-level measurement result in the second measurement result and the beam-level measurement result in the third measurement result, which will not be described in detail here. When determining whether to activate or deactivate the LP-WUR based on the cell-level measurement result, if there are multiple methods for determining the cell-level measurement result, then the method for determining the cell-level measurement result used in determining whether to activate the LP-WUR may be the same as or different from the method for determining the cell-level measurement result used in determining whether to deactivate the LP-WUR. Taking the example of determining whether to activate or deactivate LP-WUR based on the cell-level measurement result in the second measurement result, if when determining the cell-level measurement result, the measurement result of the beam with the best quality can be determined as the cell-level measurement result, or the measurement result of the beam with the worst quality among the beams that exceed the threshold can be determined as the cell-level measurement result, then, when judging whether to activate or deactivate LP-WUR, it can be judged whether to activate LP-WUR based on the measurement result of the beam with the best quality, it can be judged whether to deactivate LP-WUR based on the measurement result of the beam with the worst quality that exceeds the threshold, or it can be judged whether to activate or deactivate LP-WUR based on the measurement result of the beam with the best quality, or it can be judged whether to activate or deactivate LP-WUR based on the measurement result of the beam with the worst quality that exceeds the threshold.

[0124] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the LP-WUR supports multiple reception modes, determining, based on at least one of the second measurement result and the third measurement result, whether to activate a reception mode or deactivate the LP-WUR may include:

[0125] When at least one of the second measurement result and the third measurement result is greater than or equal to the activation threshold, determining to activate a receiving mode;

[0126] In a case where at least one of the second measurement result and the third measurement result is smaller than the deactivation threshold, it is determined to deactivate the LP-WUR.

[0127] The number of activation thresholds may be one or more. When there is only one activation threshold, multiple receiving modes may correspond to the same activation threshold. When at least one of the second measurement result and the third measurement result is greater than or equal to the activation threshold, any one of the receiving modes may be selected for activation. The specific activation of the receiving mode may be determined by the terminal, defined by a standard, or configured by a network-side device. When there are multiple activation thresholds, different activation thresholds may correspond to different receiving modes. When at least one of the second measurement result and the third measurement result is greater than or equal to a certain activation threshold, the receiving mode corresponding to the activation threshold may be determined to be activated. When one receiving mode is determined to be activated, other receiving modes may be deactivated.

[0128] The number of the above-mentioned deactivation thresholds may be one. When at least one of the second measurement result and the third measurement result is less than the deactivation threshold, it may be determined that the LP-WUR is deactivated, i.e., multiple reception modes supported by the LP-WUR are deactivated. Optionally, the deactivation threshold may be less than or equal to the activation threshold.

[0129] It should be noted that at least one of the above-mentioned second measurement results and the third measurement results is greater than or equal to the activation threshold, which may be that at least one of the beam-level measurement results in the second measurement result and the beam-level measurement results in the third measurement result is greater than or equal to the activation threshold, or at least one of the beam-level measurement results in the second measurement result and the cell-level measurement results in the third measurement result is greater than or equal to the activation threshold, or at least one of the cell-level measurement results in the second measurement result and the beam-level measurement results in the third measurement result is greater than or equal to the activation threshold, or at least one of the cell-level measurement results in the second measurement result and the cell-level measurement results in the third measurement result is greater than or equal to the activation threshold. Please refer to the implementation method of the above-mentioned terminal when determining to activate LP-WUR based on at least one of the second measurement results and the third measurement results, which will not be described in detail here. Similarly, at least one of the second measurement result and the third measurement result is less than the deactivation threshold, which may be that at least one of the beam-level measurement result in the second measurement result and the beam-level measurement result in the third measurement result is less than the deactivation threshold, or at least one of the beam-level measurement result in the second measurement result and the cell-level measurement result in the third measurement result is less than the deactivation threshold, or at least one of the cell-level measurement result in the second measurement result and the beam-level measurement result in the third measurement result is less than the deactivation threshold, or at least one of the cell-level measurement result in the second measurement result and the cell-level measurement result in the third measurement result is less than the deactivation threshold. Please refer to the implementation method of the above-mentioned terminal when determining to deactivate LP-WUR based on at least one of the second measurement result and the third measurement result, which will not be described in detail here.

[0130] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the multiple reception modes supported by LP-WUR include an OOK reception mode and an OFDM sequence reception mode, determining, based on at least one of the second measurement result and the third measurement result, whether to activate a reception mode or deactivate LP-WUR may include:

[0131] When at least one of the second measurement result and the third measurement result is greater than or equal to a fourth threshold, determining to activate the OOK receiving mode;

[0132] When at least one of the second measurement result and the third measurement result is less than a fourth threshold and greater than or equal to a fifth threshold, determining to activate the receiving mode of the OFDM sequence, and the fourth threshold is greater than the fifth threshold;

[0133] In a case where at least one of the second measurement result and the third measurement result is smaller than a fifth threshold, it is determined to deactivate the LP-WUR and turn on the MR.

[0134] The fourth threshold may be an activation threshold corresponding to the OOK reception mode, the fifth threshold may be an activation threshold corresponding to the OFDM reception mode, and the fifth threshold may also be a deactivation threshold corresponding to the LP-WUR reception mode. The fourth threshold is greater than the fifth threshold.

[0135] When LP-WUR supports both OOK and OFDM reception modes, the terminal can switch between OOK and OFDM reception modes, and between LP-WUR and MR reception modes, based on the fourth and fifth thresholds. For easier understanding, see Figure 3.

[0136] In Figure 3, the terminal includes a first module (MR) and a second module (LP-WUR). The first module (MR) is the main communication module, and the second module (LP-WUR) is the low-power module. The second module includes LP-WUR receivers 1 and 2. That is, LP-WUR supports two reception modes: LP-WUR receiver 1 for OOK reception and LP-WUR receiver 2 for OFDM reception.

[0137] Condition 1 shown in Figure 3 is that the measurement result is not less than Thresh4, condition 2 is that the measurement result is less than Thresh4 but not less than Thresh5, and condition 3 is that the measurement result is less than Thresh5. The measurement result can be at least one of the second measurement result and the third measurement result. When the terminal determines to activate or deactivate LP-WUR, if condition 1 is met, that is, the measurement result of the terminal is not less than Thresh4, then the terminal can activate LP-WUR and LP-WUR uses an OOK receiver to receive signals, that is, activates LP-WUR receiver 1, and at this time LP-WUR receiver 2 is in a deactivated state. If condition 2 is met, that is, the measurement result of the terminal is less than Thresh4 but not less than Thresh5, then the terminal can activate LP-WUR and LP-WUR uses an OFDM sequence receiver to receive signals, that is, activates LP-WUR receiver 2, and at this time LP-WUR receiver 1 is in a deactivated state. If condition 3 is met, that is, the terminal's measurement result is lower than Thres5, the terminal can deactivate LP-WUR. At this time, both LP-WUR receiver 1 and LP-WUR receiver 2 are in the deactivated state. When LP-WUR is deactivated, MR can be turned on.

[0138] Optionally, in some embodiments, when LP-WUR supports multiple receiving modes, the second measurement result may be a result obtained by measuring under at least one of the multiple receiving modes, and the at least one receiving mode includes a receiving mode in an activated state or a receiving mode in a deactivated state. For example, in the embodiment shown in FIG3 , if the measurement result includes a second measurement result, the second measurement result may be a result obtained by measuring by LP-WUR receiver 1, or a result obtained by measuring by LP-WUR receiver 2, or a combined result of the results obtained by measuring by LP-WUR receiver 1 and LP-WUR receiver 2. During the measurement, LP-WUR receiver 1 may be in an activated state or a deactivated state (only measurement without reception in the deactivated state), and LP-WUR receiver 2 may be in an activated state or a deactivated state (only measurement without reception in the deactivated state).

[0139] Optionally, in some embodiments, when it is determined to activate LP-WUR according to the above-described method, the MR in the terminal may be turned off. When it is determined to deactivate LP-WUR according to the above-described method, the MR in the terminal may be turned on.

[0140] In an embodiment of the present application, when the LP-WUR of the terminal receives LP-SS or SSB, it can measure the LP-SS or SSB, and determine at least one of the beam-level measurement result and the cell-level measurement result based on the measurement result. Thus, in a multi-beam scenario, when the terminal communicates with the network-side device based on LP-WUR, it can achieve the purpose of measuring the channel quality based on the received signal. Furthermore, after obtaining the second measurement result, since it is possible to determine whether to activate or deactivate the LP-WUR based on the second measurement result, the power consumption status of the terminal, and at least one of the measurement results of the MR on the SSB, that is, when determining to activate or deactivate the LP-WUR, the measurement results of the multiple beams are taken into account, the working efficiency of the LP-WUR can be improved.

[0141] As shown in FIG4 , an embodiment of the present application provides an information measurement method 400 , which can be executed by a network-side device. In other words, the information measurement method can be executed by software or hardware installed in the network-side device. The information measurement method includes the following steps.

[0142] S402: The network-side device sends a first signal; wherein the first signal includes LP-SS or SSB, the first signal is used by the terminal to measure and obtain a first measurement result, the first measurement result is used to determine a second measurement result, and the second measurement result includes at least one of a beam-level measurement result and a cell-level measurement result.

[0143] In a multi-beam scenario, the network device may send a first signal to the terminal. The first signal may include LP-SS or SSB. After the network device sends the first signal to the terminal, the terminal may receive the first signal, determine a first measurement result based on the first signal, and determine a second measurement result based on the first measurement result. The implementation of how the terminal measures the first signal to obtain the first measurement result and how the terminal determines the second measurement result based on the first measurement result can be found in the embodiment shown in FIG2 and will not be described in detail here.

[0144] Optionally, in some implementations, when the terminal supports the LP-WUR capability of measuring LP-SS and SSB, the network-side device may further send configuration information to the terminal so that the terminal can determine the measured signal based on the configuration information and measure the measured signal to obtain a first measurement result. The configuration information sent by the network-side device may be used for any of the following:

[0145] Instructs to measure LP-SS;

[0146] Instructs to measure SSB;

[0147] Indicates measurement of either LP-SS or SSB signal;

[0148] Instructs to measure LP-SS and SSB;

[0149] The instruction determines the measured signal according to the first rule.

[0150] When the configuration information indicates to measure the LP-SS, the terminal may measure the LP-SS. When the configuration information indicates to measure the SSB, the terminal may measure the SSB. When the configuration information indicates to measure either the LP-SS or SSB signal, the terminal may decide to measure the LP-SS or SSB. When the configuration information indicates to measure both the LP-SS and SSB, the terminal may measure both the LP-SS and SSB. When the configuration information indicates to determine the measured signal according to a first rule, the terminal may determine the measured signal from the LP-SS and SSB according to the first rule and measure the measured signal. The first rule may be a predefined rule. When determining the measured signal according to the first rule, for example, if the terminal's LP-WUR supports reception of OFDM sequences and there is an SSB available for measurement within the LP-WUR operating bandwidth (for example, the NCD-SSB is within the LP-WUR operating bandwidth), the terminal may measure the SSB; otherwise, the terminal may measure the LP-SS.

[0151] The configuration information sent by the network side device can be terminal-specific signaling, or terminal group-specific signaling (for example, for a terminal group that supports OFDM sequence reception), or cell-specific signaling. Terminal group-specific signaling can be sent in the form of unicast, multicast or broadcast. The configuration information can be an explicit configuration or an implicit configuration. For example, if the network side device configures LP-SS in the system information but does not configure the OFDM sequence used by LP-SS, or does not configure LP-SS, it can be considered that the network side device implicitly configures LP-WUR. The terminal based on OFDM sequence reception does not measure LP-SS, but measures SSB.

[0152] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the configuration information indicates measurement of LP-SS and SSB, the configuration information is also used to configure a first threshold and a second threshold. The first threshold is the threshold used by the terminal when activating or deactivating LP-WUR based on the measurement results of LP-SS, and the second threshold is the threshold used by the terminal when activating or deactivating LP-WUR based on the measurement results of SSB. The first threshold and the second threshold may be the same or different. When the terminal determines whether to activate or deactivate LP-WUR in the terminal based on the measurement results and the threshold, the corresponding implementation method can be found in the corresponding content of the embodiment shown in Figure 2, and will not be repeated here.

[0153] In an embodiment of the present application, the network-side device may send an LP-SS or SSB to the terminal. Upon receiving the LP-SS or SSB, the terminal's LP-WUR may measure the LP-SS or SSB and determine at least one of a beam-level measurement result and a cell-level measurement result based on the measurement result. Thus, in a multi-beam scenario, when the terminal communicates with the network-side device based on the LP-WUR, it can measure channel quality based on the received signal.

[0154] To facilitate understanding of the signal measurement method in a multi-beam scenario provided in an embodiment of the present application and how to determine whether to activate or deactivate the LP-WUR in the terminal based on the measurement results, three exemplary embodiments will be used as examples for illustration below.

[0155] Example 1: LP-WUR measurement based on LP-SS and SSB in a multi-beam scenario

[0156] To support multi-beam LP-SS transmission while reducing the scheduling impact on other NR signals, the standard predefines or the network node can configure a set of LP-SS resources, including multiple candidate transmission occasions (occasions) and multiple transmission occasion sets (occasion sets, an occasion set can include one or more occasions). The network-side device can use different beams for LP-SS transmitted in different occasion sets. The network-side device can select one or more occasions from multiple occasions in the same occasion set to transmit LP-SS, and the LP-SS uses the same beam (with the same spatial characteristics). Alternatively, the network-side device can configure multiple groups of LP-SS resources, each group of LP-SS resources includes multiple occasions, and multiple occasions correspond to one occasion set. The network-side device uses different beams for LP-SS transmitted in different LP-SS resource groups. The network-side device can select one or more occasions from multiple occasions in the same LP-SS resource group to transmit LP-SS, and the LP-SS uses the same beam.

[0157] When the LP-WUR of the UE receives the LP-SS, it can perform measurements based on the LP-SS, for example, measuring the RRM of the serving cell or the RRM of the neighboring cell. After the measurement, the UE can generate beam-level measurement results for the LP-SSs of different occasion sets, or the UE can generate beam-level measurement results for the LP-SSs of different LP-SS resource groups. In an exemplary embodiment, the UE can merge the measurement results of the LP-SSs in the occasions corresponding to the same occasion set in the same or different target time periods, and determine the merged result as the beam-level measurement result. In an exemplary embodiment, the UE can merge the measurement results of the LP-SSs in the occasions corresponding to the same occasion set in the same target time period, and determine the merged result as the beam-level measurement result, and not merge the measurement results of the LP-SSs in different target time periods. In an exemplary embodiment, the UE can determine the measurement results of the LP-SSs in any one occasion in the same occasion set in a target time period as the beam-level measurement result, and not merge it with the measurement results of other LP-SSs.

[0158] The LP-WUR of the UE can also be measured based on the SSB. The SSB can be the SSB indicated in ssb-PositionsInBurst, or the SSB configured by the network-side device for LP-WUR measurement, or the SSB to be measured configured by the network-side device when configuring SMTC. After measuring the SSB, the LP-WUR of the UE can generate beam-level measurement results for SSBs of different SSB indexes. In an exemplary embodiment, the UE can merge the measurement results corresponding to the same SSB index in the same or different specific target time periods, and determine the merged result as a beam-level measurement result. In an exemplary embodiment, the UE can merge the measurement results corresponding to the same SSB index in the same or different target time periods, and determine the merged result as a beam-level measurement result. In an exemplary embodiment, the UE can determine the measurement result of any SSB corresponding to the same SSB index in a target time period as a beam-level measurement result, and not merge it with the measurement results of other SSBs.

[0159] After measuring the LP-SS or SSB and obtaining the beam-level measurement result, the UE may generate the cell-level measurement result based on the beam-level measurement result. Optionally, the UE may generate the cell-level measurement result based on at least one of the following methods:

[0160] Generate cell-level measurement results based on the measurement result of the best quality beam;

[0161] Generate cell-level measurement results based on the measurement results of all measured beams;

[0162] The cell-level measurement results are generated according to the results of the M1 beams with the best measurement results, where M1 is predefined by the standard or configured by the network node.

[0163] Generate cell-level measurements based on the results for all beams exceeding a predefined threshold;

[0164] The cell-level measurement results are generated based on the results of M2 beams exceeding a predefined threshold, where M2 is predefined by the standard or configured by the network-side device.

[0165] Example 2: Method for activating / deactivating LP-WUR in a multi-beam scenario

[0166] To ensure that LP-WUR can operate at a suitable working point, the network-side device can be configured with a threshold. When and only when the link quality of LP-WUR is not lower than this threshold or higher than this threshold, the UE's LP-WUR is activated, and the UE can receive LP-WUS based on LP-WUR and turn off MR. In addition, the UE can perform RRM measurements based on LP-WUR to receive LP-SS, and MR may not perform RRM measurements, or MR may also perform RRM measurements. To reduce the power consumption of MR, MR may perform RRM measurements for transmission, for example, with a longer RRM measurement period. When the link quality of LP-WUR is lower than this threshold or not higher than this threshold, the UE's LP-WUR is deactivated. The link quality of LP-WUR can be reflected by the measurement results of LP-SS or SSB measured by LP-WUR, and / or by the measurement results of SSB measured by MR. The SSB measured by MR can be the same as the SSB measured by LP-WUR, for example, both are the SSB indicated in ssb-PositionsInBurst, or the SSB measured by MR can be different from the SSB measured by LP-WUR, for example, the network side device can configure the SSB to be measured for LP-WUR, which can be a subset of the SSB indicated in ssb-PositionsInBurst.

[0167] In a multi-beam scenario, in some embodiments, the UE may obtain a cell-level measurement result based on the beam-level measurement result of the LP-SS or SSB, and compare the cell-level measurement result with a predefined cell-level threshold to determine whether to activate / deactivate LP-WUR. When generating a cell-level measurement result based on the measurement results of each beam level, it may be generated according to at least one of the following methods:

[0168] Generate cell-level measurement results based on the measurement result of the best quality beam;

[0169] Generate a cell-level measurement result based on the measurement result of the worst-instructed beam;

[0170] Generate cell-level measurement results based on the results of all measured beams;

[0171] Generate cell-level measurement results based on the results of the M3 beams with the best measurement results. M3 can be predefined by the standard or configured by network-side devices.

[0172] Generate cell-level measurement results based on the measurement results of all beams exceeding the predefined threshold Thres2. Thres2 is predefined by the standard or configured by network-side devices.

[0173] Generate cell-level measurement results based on the results of M4 beams exceeding the predefined threshold Thres2, where M4 is predefined by the standard or configured by network-side equipment;

[0174] The cell-level measurement result is generated according to the measurement result of the worst beam that exceeds the predefined threshold Thres2.

[0175] When determining whether to activate or deactivate LP-WUR based on cell-level measurement results:

[0176] In an exemplary embodiment, when determining whether to activate and deactivate LP-WUR, a cell-level measurement result may be generated in the same manner, or in different manners. For example, when determining whether to activate LP-WUR, a cell-level measurement result may be generated based on the measurement result of the best quality beam, and when determining whether to deactivate LP-WUR, a cell-level measurement result may be generated based on the measurement result of the worst quality beam that exceeds a predefined threshold Thres2.

[0177] In an exemplary embodiment, the measurement result used when determining activation and deactivation of LP-WUR may be the measurement result in the above-mentioned embodiment 1. For example, the measurement result used when determining activation and deactivation of LP-WUR is the RSRP measurement result of the serving cell in embodiment 1. In an exemplary embodiment, the measurement result used when determining activation and deactivation may be different from the measurement result in embodiment 1. For example, the two use different methods to generate cell-level measurement results.

[0178] In one implementation, the UE may compare the beam-level measurement results of LP-SS or SSB with the predefined beam-level threshold Thres3 to determine whether to activate / deactivate LP-WUR. Here, Thres3 may be a threshold applicable to each beam, or Thres3 may be a group of thresholds applicable to each beam. For example, the network-side device sends LP-SS with 4 different beams, and the UE obtains 4 measurement results based on the LP-SS measurement, corresponding to 4 beams respectively. Thres3 is a group of thresholds, including 4 values, corresponding to 4 beams respectively. The UE compares the measurement results of the 4 beams with the 4 threshold values ​​to determine whether to activate or deactivate LP-WUR. For another example, Thres3 is a threshold, and the measurement results of the 4 beams all correspond to this threshold. The UE compares the measurement results of the 4 beams with 1 threshold value to determine whether to activate or deactivate LP-WUR.

[0179] When comparing the measurement results at each beam level with the threshold, the activation / deactivation of LP-WUR may be determined based on at least one of the following methods:

[0180] If the measurement results of at least Z1 beams are below the corresponding threshold or not above the corresponding threshold, LP-WUR is deactivated. When Z1>1, the measurement results of Z1 beams are compared with the corresponding threshold respectively, or the measurement results of Z1 beams are averaged and compared with the threshold. Z1 is the number of all LP-SS or SSB beams, or Z1 is configured by the network side device.

[0181] If the measurement results of at least Z2 beams are not lower than the corresponding threshold or higher than the corresponding threshold, LP-WUR is activated, where when Z2>1, the measurement results of the Z2 beams are compared with the corresponding thresholds respectively, or the measurement results of the Z2 beams are averaged and compared with the threshold, Z2 is the number of all beams of LP-SS or SSB, or Z2 is configured by the network side equipment.

[0182] The above-mentioned Z1 can be the same as Z2 and the two are configured together, or Z1 and Z2 can be different and the two are configured independently.

[0183] Example 3: Measurement and activation / deactivation method when the UE supports multiple LP-WUR reception modes

[0184] In some embodiments, the LP-WUR of the UE supports only one reception mode, for example, only supporting the reception of OOK signals (e.g., OOK-based LP-SS) based on envelope detection, or only supporting the reception of OFDM-based sequences (e.g., SSB) based on time domain (or frequency domain) sequence detection. In the case where the LP-WUR of the UE supports only one reception mode, the UE implementation is relatively simple.

[0185] In other embodiments, the LP-WUR of the UE may support multiple reception modes, such as supporting the reception of OOK signals and OFDM sequences. It can be understood here that the modules required to support different reception modes are different, the power consumption is different, and the reception performance may also be different. For example, OOK reception consumes less power than OFDM sequence reception, but the reception performance is poor (correspondingly, the coverage is poor). Different reception modes can also be understood as different LP-WUR receivers. The following description of activation / deactivation according to the reception mode can also be understood as activating / deactivating the corresponding LP-WUR receiver. In an exemplary embodiment, different reception modes of LP-WUR used by the UE may correspond to different power saving modes.

[0186] When determining to activate or deactivate LP-WUR, the UE may determine which reception method to activate / deactivate based on predefined criteria. The predefined criteria may include at least one of a power saving mode and coverage. The power saving mode may be the power consumption state in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 , and the coverage may be represented by measurement results.

[0187] As an embodiment, the UE can determine which reception mode to activate / deactivate based on the measurement results and thresholds. For example, the network-side device configures two thresholds, Thres4 and Thres5. Threshold Thres4 is the threshold for activating or deactivating the first reception mode (taking OOK reception as an example), and threshold Thres5 is the threshold for activating / deactivating the second reception mode (taking OFDM sequence reception as an example). Thres4>Thres5. Then:

[0188] When the UE's measurement result is not less than Thres4, the UE may activate LP-WUR and the LP-WUR may use the first reception mode to receive signals. For example, if the UE has activated the second reception mode of LP-WUR to receive signals, when the measurement result is not less than Thres4, the UE may activate the first reception mode of LP-WUR to receive signals, and the UE may deactivate the second reception mode of LP-WUR to receive signals. For another example, if the UE is operating in MR, when the measurement result is not less than Thres4, the UE may activate the first reception mode of LP-WUR to receive signals, and the UE may deactivate MR.

[0189] When the UE's measurement result is lower than Thres4 but not lower than Thres5, the UE may activate the second reception mode of LP-WUR to receive signals. For example, if the UE has activated the first reception mode of LP-WUR to receive signals, when the measurement result is lower than Thres4 but not lower than Thres5, the UE may activate the second reception mode of LP-WUR to receive signals, and the UE may deactivate the first reception mode of LP-WUR to receive signals. For another example, if the UE operates in MR, when the measurement result is lower than Thres4 but not lower than Thres5, the UE may activate the second reception mode of LP-WUR to receive signals, and the UE may deactivate.

[0190] When the UE's measurement result is lower than Thres5, the UE deactivates LP-WUR and turns on MR. For example, if the UE has activated the second reception mode of LP-WUR for signal reception, and the measurement result is lower than Thres5, the UE may deactivate the second reception mode of LP-WUR for signal reception and turn on MR. For another example, if the UE has activated the first reception mode of LP-WUR for signal reception, and the measurement result is lower than Thres5, the UE may deactivate the first reception mode of LP-WUR for signal reception and turn on MR.

[0191] In an exemplary embodiment, the UE's measurement results are based on MR measurement results and / or LP-WUR measurement results. The threshold Thres4 for comparing the MR measurement results can be different from the threshold Thres4 for comparing the LP-WUR measurement results, for example, two Thres4s can be configured for each. The threshold Thres5 for comparing the MR measurement results can be different from the threshold Thres5 for comparing the LP-WUR measurement results, for example, two Thres5s can be configured for each.

[0192] In an exemplary embodiment, the LP-WUR measurement result is an LP-SS measurement result based on the first reception mode of the LP-WUR and / or an SSB or LP-SS measurement result based on the second reception mode of the LP-WUR.

[0193] In an exemplary embodiment, the MR can perform measurements while the MR is off.

[0194] In an exemplary embodiment, when the Xth reception mode of the LP-WUR is deactivated, the Xth reception mode of the LP-WUR does not perform measurements. For example, if the second reception mode of the LP-WUR is not activated, the UE does not measure SSB or LP-SS based on the second reception mode of the LP-WUR. In an exemplary embodiment, when the Xth reception mode of the LP-WUR is deactivated, the Xth reception mode of the LP-WUR may perform measurements.

[0195] In an exemplary embodiment, the LP-WUR measurement result used to determine whether to activate the Xth reception mode is a measurement result of the LP-WUR based on the Xth reception mode. Alternatively, the LP-WUR measurement result used to determine whether to activate the Xth (X is one or two) reception mode is a measurement result of the LP-WUR based on the first reception mode and / or the measurement result of the second reception mode.

[0196] As an embodiment, the UE operates in MR mode and compares the UE's MR-based measurement results with Thres4 and Thres5. If the measurement result is not lower than Thres4, the first LP-WUR reception mode is activated. If the measurement result is lower than Thres4 but not lower than Thres5, the second LP-WUR reception mode is activated. Otherwise, the LP-WUR is not activated and the UE continues to operate only in MR mode.

[0197] As an embodiment, if the first reception mode of the LP-WUR is activated, the UE compares the measurement result of the MR and / or the measurement result of the first reception mode of the LP-WUR with a threshold. If the measurement result is lower than Thres4 but not lower than Thres5, the second reception mode of the LP-WUR is activated. If it is lower than Thres5, the LP-WUR is deactivated and the MR is returned. Alternatively, if the measurement result is lower than Thres4, the UE further compares the measurement result of the second reception mode of the LP-WUR with the threshold to determine whether to activate the second reception mode of the LP-WUR or deactivate the LP-WUR and return to the MR.

[0198] As an embodiment, if the second receiving mode of LP-WUR is activated, the UE determines the activation / deactivation of LP-WUR (including which LP-WUR receiving mode) based on the measurement results of MR and / or the measurement results of the second receiving mode of LP-WUR compared with the threshold.

[0199] As an embodiment, the UE determines the activation / deactivation of LP-WUR (including which LP-WUR reception mode) based on the measurement results of the MR and / or the measurement results of the second reception mode of LP-WUR and / or the measurement results of the first reception mode of LP-WUR compared with the threshold.

[0200] As an embodiment, the UE may select an appropriate power saving mode according to the power consumption of the UE, such as being in a low power state or a normal power state. For example, when the UE is in a low power state, the LP-WUR can only operate in the first receiving mode.

[0201] In a multi-beam scenario, Thres4 and / or Thres5 can be a beam-level threshold or a cell-level threshold. The UE compares the beam-level measurement result of the LP-WUR with the beam-level threshold, or the UE obtains the cell-level measurement result based on the beam-level measurement result of the LP-WUR and compares the cell-level measurement result with the cell-level threshold to determine whether to activate / deactivate the LP-WUR reception mode.

[0202] Based on the above embodiments 1 to 3, in multi-beam scenarios, network-side equipment can flexibly implement LP-SS beam sweeping. The LP-WUR performs beam-level measurements on the LP-SS and obtains cell-level measurement results to implement RRM measurements for the offloaded MR. Furthermore, during LP-WUR activation / deactivation, the multi-beam results are taken into account, thereby improving LP-WUR operating efficiency.

In the embodiment of the present application, the information measurement device provided in the embodiment of the present application is described by taking the information measurement device executing the information measurement method as an example.
