Furthermore, multiple systems may be combined (for example, a combination of LTE or LTE-A with 5G).

[0214] In the related art, the terminal can use a separate receiver LP-WUR to receive LP WUS. The terminal needs to use the main radio (MR) or the main receiver (MR) when processing downlink and / or uplink data normally. The WUS signal may be used in RRC connected state (RRC connected), deactivated state (inactive), idle state (idle) and other states. The LP WUS signal can instruct the terminal main radio to switch between any two sleep states, and can also instruct the terminal to wake up or not wake up. If the terminal receives a WUS signal indicating wakeup, the main radio will be turned on to receive and process downlink and / or uplink signals. If the WUS signal is not received, or the WUS indicates not to wake up, the terminal will maintain the current sleep state of the main radio. There are 4 types of MR sleep states: Ultra-deep sleep, Deep Sleep, Light Sleep, and Micro sleep.

[0215] LP WUR operates in two modes: always on and duty cycle. In always on mode, the terminal's LP WUR is always on, and the base station can send an LP WUS to wake the terminal at any time. In duty cycle mode, the terminal can, based on a mechanism, only turn on the LP WUR during the LP WUS listening window, and the base station can only send an LP WUS to wake the terminal during this time period.

[0216] Due to its low cost and simple design, LP WUS typically uses OOK modulation. Compared to NR channel transmission, LP WUS has lower transmission reliability and is susceptible to environmental interference, especially in transitional zones with poor channel quality. A timing mechanism involves the base station and the terminal agreeing on a time for the terminal to wake up the MR. After the timer expires, the base station begins scheduling the terminal. If an LP WUS miss occurs during this time, the base station will not be able to detect the missed detection due to the timing mechanism. Therefore, the base station will continue to send DCI to schedule the terminal. Only after the terminal's feedback schedule expires and the terminal still fails to respond, the base station will realize the missed detection. However, the base station cannot determine whether it was a DCI miss or an LP WUS miss, so the LP WUS, DCI, and other data scheduling resources must be retransmitted. As a result, the terminal will use more downlink resources, while other terminals will have less resources available. This wastes downlink resources, degrades system performance, and may also lead to ambiguity. A "stop-and-wait protocol" can address this issue by waiting for the terminal to send an ACK before scheduling. This can avoid these issues. If the base station receives the wakeup ACK from the terminal, it initiates scheduling for the terminal. If it fails to receive the wakeup ACK from the terminal at the corresponding resource location, the base station can increase the transmit power of the LP WUS to prevent the next LP WUS detection from being missed. The issue that needs to be addressed in this stop-and-wait protocol is which time-frequency resource the terminal should use for its wakeup response.

[0217] In order to reduce latency, a dynamic PO solution can be adopted. In a timing-based approach, the base station potentially schedules the terminal for all POs that meet the timing. In this case, the terminal needs to blindly detect all POs that meet the timing conditions, which will waste a lot of resources. At this time, if the terminal can inform the base station which one or several POs it can monitor, it can avoid the situation of blindly detecting all POs. For the above-mentioned wake-up feedback, the base station does not need to know the specific content of the terminal feedback. The occurrence of feedback means that the terminal has been awakened, so the content sent by the terminal can be an additional indication of the PO.

[0218] Regarding the problem raised in the above example, how the terminal determines the timing of the wake-up feedback is the problem discussed in this solution. For this problem, this solution proposes the following method.

[0219] FIG2 is an interactive diagram of a wake-up method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2 , the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a wake-up method for a communication system 100. The communication system 100 may include a first terminal 101 and a network device 102. In this embodiment, the network device 102 may be a base station. The method includes:

[0220] Step 2101: The network device configures at least one LP WUS monitoring opportunity for a first terminal.

[0221] In some embodiments, the network device may configure at least one LP WUS monitoring opportunity for the first terminal through downlink signaling. Optionally, the downlink signaling may be an RRC message, a DCI message, or the like.

[0222] In some embodiments, the LP WUS listening opportunity may be used by the network device to send the LP WUS to the first terminal.

[0223] In some embodiments, this step is optional. When the first terminal performs active wake-up, the network device may not configure the LP WUS listening opportunity.

[0224] Step 2102: The network device sends at least one LP WUS to the first terminal or the terminal group to which the first terminal belongs during at least one LP WUS listening opportunity.

[0225] In some embodiments, the first terminal may receive the LP WUS via the LP WUR.

[0226] In some embodiments, the first terminal may receive at least one low power consumption wake-up signal LP WUS sent by the network device during at least one LP WUS listening opportunity configured by the network device. The LP WUS may be used to instruct the first terminal to wake up the MR.

[0227] In some embodiments, the network device may send an LP WUS to the first terminal alone to instruct the first terminal to wake up the MR, or may send an LP WUS to the terminal group to instruct at least one terminal in the first terminal group to wake up the MR.

[0228] In some embodiments, the network device may send an LP WUS once at each LP WUS listening opportunity, wherein the indication information of multiple LP WUSs sent at multiple listening opportunities may be the same or different.

[0229] In some embodiments, the LP WUS may carry various indication information.

[0230] In some embodiments, this step is an optional step. When the first terminal performs active wake-up, the first terminal may not receive the LP WUS. Similarly, the network device may not send the LP WUS.

[0231] Step 2103: The first terminal wakes up the MR.

[0232] In some embodiments, the first terminal may wake up the MR via an instruction from the network device, that is, wake up the MR based on an instruction from the LP WUS.

[0233] In some embodiments, when the first terminal does not receive the LP WUS sent by the network device, the first terminal may actively wake up the MR.

[0234] In some embodiments, situations in which the LP WUS sent by the network device is not received include but are not limited to the following: the first terminal does not receive the LP WUS; the first terminal receives the LP WUS but fails to correctly decode the indication carried by the LP WUS; the first terminal does not receive the synchronization signal LP SS or fails to correctly decode the indication information carried by the LP SS, etc.

[0235] In step 2104a, the first terminal determines a first time domain resource based on configuration information predefined by the protocol or sent by the network device. In some embodiments, the first time domain resource can be used by the first terminal to send uplink information to feedback the status of the primary receiver of the first terminal.

[0236] In some embodiments, the name of the first time domain resource may be “feedback time domain resource”, “uplink transmission resource”, etc. The present disclosure does not limit the name of the first time domain resource.

[0237] In some embodiments, the first preset condition may be at least one of the following: the interval between the first listening opportunity and the first time domain resource is greater than or equal to the first duration, and the first listening opportunity is one of at least one LP WUS listening opportunity; the interval between the start time when the first terminal actively wakes up the MR and the first time domain resource is greater than or equal to the first duration; the interval between the second listening opportunity and the first time domain resource is greater than or equal to the first duration, the second listening opportunity is a listening opportunity after the first terminal actively wakes up the MR, and the second listening opportunity is a listening opportunity in at least one LP WUS listening opportunity during which no LP WUS is received; the interval between the third listening opportunity and the first time domain resource is greater than or equal to the first duration, and the third listening opportunity is one of at least one LP SS listening opportunity. In some embodiments, based on protocol pre-definition, a time domain resource that meets the first preset condition may be determined as the first time domain resource. In this case, the first preset condition is: the interval between the first listening opportunity and the first time domain resource is greater than or equal to the first duration, and the first listening opportunity is one of at least one LP WUS listening opportunity. This first preset condition may be used in Examples 1 to 3 of the following method for determining the first time domain resource when the LP WUS indicates terminal wakeup. In some embodiments, the first duration may include at least one of the following: the duration required for the first terminal to wake up the MR; the duration required for the first terminal to complete time-frequency synchronization with the MR; and the uplink preparation duration of the first terminal, i.e., the preparation time required before the first terminal sends uplink signaling, such as resource preparation time, resource conversion time, etc. Because it may take time for the first terminal to wake up the MR and complete video synchronization, if uplink signaling is sent before the wake-up is complete, the network device may directly issue a terminal scheduling task, and the terminal is not yet ready at this time, which may cause task conflicts and task asynchrony, resulting in information gaps between the first terminal and the network device. Therefore, the first time domain resource must meet the first preset condition.

[0238] In some embodiments, the first listening opportunity is the last of at least one LP WUS listening opportunity configured by the network device. The first terminal may uniformly process all LP WUSs received over a period of time. After processing, the first terminal may wake up the MR according to the information indicated by the LP WUS. After waking up the MR, the first terminal may begin determining the first time domain resource. For example, if the first terminal monitors for LP WUSs at three listening opportunities, and the LP WUS at the first listening opportunity instructs the first terminal to wake up the MR, the first terminal does not process the LP WUSs. Instead, the first terminal waits until the monitoring is complete before waking up the MR and determining the first time domain resource.

[0239] In some embodiments, the first listening opportunity may also be one of at least one LP WUS listening opportunity configured by the network device, wherein the LP WUS received at the LP WUS listening opportunity indicates that the first terminal wakes up the MR, that is, the first terminal may start waking up the MR and determine the first time domain resource at the listening opportunity when the LP WUS indicates that the first terminal wakes up the MR.

[0240] In some embodiments, the LP WUS received by the first terminal in the first listening opportunity may instruct the first terminal to wake up the MR. The first terminal may receive multiple LP WUSs in the first listening opportunity, and the LP WUS instructing the first terminal to wake up may be at least one of the multiple LP WUSs instructing the terminal to wake up.

[0241] When the LP WUS instructs the terminal to wake up, the corresponding first time domain resource determination method may include but is not limited to the following:

[0242] Example 1

[0243] In some embodiments, the first time domain resource may be determined to be the first time domain resource that meets the first preset condition, and the first time domain resource may be a time domain resource configured by the network device for multiple terminals. That is, the first terminal may determine that the first time domain resource that meets the duration condition after the LP WUS monitoring opportunity is the first time domain resource, where the time domain resource may be configured by the network device for use by multiple terminals and may not be configured for the first terminal; the time domain resource may also be configured for multiple terminals for other uplink transmissions, etc.

[0244] Example 2

[0245] In some embodiments, the first time domain resource may be determined to be the first time domain resource that satisfies the first preset condition, and the first time domain resource may be a time domain resource configured by the network device for the first terminal. That is, the first terminal may determine that the first time domain resource that satisfies the duration condition after the LP WUS monitoring opportunity is the first time domain resource. This time domain resource may be a time domain resource that is separately configured by the network device for the first terminal for uplink transmission.

[0246] Example 3

[0247] In some embodiments, at least one LP WUS monitoring opportunity may be associated with the candidate time domain resources, and the first time domain resource may be one of the candidate time domain resources corresponding to the first monitoring opportunity.

[0248] The association relationship may be any one of the following: each LP WUS monitoring opportunity corresponds to one candidate time domain resource; each LP WUS monitoring opportunity corresponds to multiple candidate time domain resources; multiple LP WUS monitoring opportunities correspond to one candidate time domain resource.

[0249] Optionally, the first time domain resource may be the first time domain resource among the candidate time domain resources corresponding to the first monitoring opportunity. The first terminal may first obtain all time domain resources corresponding to the first monitoring opportunity and use the time domain resources that meet the first preset condition as candidate time domain resources. For example, the first candidate time domain resource may be used as the first time domain resource, which can achieve timely reporting of the MR status of the first terminal and improve scheduling efficiency.

[0250] The methods described in Examples 1 to 3 above can also be applied to the first terminal side and the network device side, that is, can be applied to steps 2104a and 2104b.

[0251] In some embodiments, if the first terminal does not receive an LP WUS sent by the network device during at least one LP WUS listening opportunity configured by the network device, the first terminal may proactively wake up the MR. The failure to receive the LP WUS sent by the network device may include the network device not sending the LP WUS to the first terminal; the first terminal receiving the LP WUS sent by the network device but failing to correctly decode the information carried in the LP WUS due to poor channel quality; and so on.

[0252] In some embodiments, based on protocol pre-definition, a time domain resource that meets a first preset condition can be determined as a first time domain resource. In this case, the first preset condition is that the interval between the start time of the first terminal actively waking up the MR and the first time domain resource is greater than or equal to a first duration. This first preset condition can be used in Examples 1 to 6 of the following method for determining the corresponding first time domain resource when the first terminal actively wakes up the MR.

[0253] In some embodiments, the first duration may include at least one of the following: the duration required for the first terminal to wake up the MR; the duration required for the first terminal to complete time and frequency synchronization with the MR; and the uplink preparation duration of the first terminal.

[0254] In some embodiments, the first preset condition may also be: the interval between the second listening opportunity and the first time domain resource is greater than or equal to the first duration, wherein the second listening opportunity is the listening opportunity after the first terminal actively wakes up the MR, and the second listening opportunity is the listening opportunity in which no LP WUS is received in at least one LP WUS listening opportunity.

[0255] In some embodiments, the second listening opportunity may be the first listening opportunity after the first terminal actively wakes up the MR. In this case, the first preset condition is that the interval between the start time of actively waking up the MR when the first terminal does not receive an LP WUS in at least one LP WUS listening opportunity and the first time domain resource is greater than or equal to the first duration.

[0256] When the first terminal actively wakes up the MR, the corresponding first time domain resource determination method may include but is not limited to the following:

[0257] Example 1

[0258] In some embodiments, the first time domain resource is the first time domain resource that meets the first preset condition, and the first time domain resource is a time domain resource configured by the network device for multiple terminals. That is, the first terminal may determine that the first time domain resource that meets the duration condition after the monitoring opportunity of not receiving the LP WUS is the first time domain resource. This time domain resource may be configured by the terminal network device for multiple terminals, and this time domain resource may not be configured for the first terminal; this time domain resource may also be configured for multiple terminals for other uplink transmissions, etc.

[0259] Example 2

[0260] In some embodiments, the first time domain resource is the first time domain resource that satisfies the first preset condition, and the first time domain resource is a time domain resource configured by the network device for the first terminal. That is, the first terminal may determine that the first time domain resource that satisfies the duration condition after the listening opportunity for the LP WUS is not received is the first time domain resource, and the time domain resource is separately configured by the network device for the first terminal for uplink transmission.

[0261] Example 3

[0262] In some embodiments, at least one LP WUS monitoring opportunity is associated with the candidate time domain resources, and the first time domain resource is one of the candidate time domain resources corresponding to the second monitoring opportunity.

[0263] In some embodiments, the association relationship is any one of the following: each LP WUS monitoring opportunity corresponds to one candidate time domain resource; each LP WUS monitoring opportunity corresponds to multiple candidate time domain resources; multiple LP WUS monitoring opportunities correspond to one candidate time domain resource.

[0264] Optionally, the first time domain resource may be the first time domain resource among the candidate time domain resources corresponding to the second monitoring opportunity. That is, the first terminal may first obtain all time domain resources corresponding to the second monitoring opportunity, and use the time domain resources that meet the first preset condition as candidate time domain resources, and may use the first candidate time domain resource as the first time domain resource.

[0265] Example 4

[0266] In some embodiments, the first time domain resource is the first time domain resource that satisfies the first preset condition, and the first time domain resource is a time domain resource configured by the network device for multiple terminals. That is, the first terminal may determine that the first time domain resource that satisfies the first preset condition after waking up the MR is the first time domain resource. This time domain resource may be configured by the terminal network device for multiple terminals, and this time domain resource may not be configured for the first terminal; this time domain resource may also be configured for multiple terminals for other uplink transmissions, etc.

[0267] Example 5

[0268] In some embodiments, the first time domain resource is the first time domain resource that satisfies the first preset condition, and the first time domain resource is a time domain resource configured by the network device for the first terminal. That is, the first terminal may determine that the first time domain resource that satisfies the first preset condition after waking up the MR is the first time domain resource, and the time domain resource is separately configured by the network device for the first terminal for uplink transmission.

[0269] Example 6

[0270] In some embodiments, at least one low power synchronization signal LP SS monitoring opportunity is associated with a candidate time domain resource, the first time domain resource is one of the candidate time domain resources corresponding to the third monitoring opportunity, and the third monitoring opportunity is one of the at least one LP SS monitoring opportunity.

[0271] In some embodiments, the association relationship between the low power synchronization signal LP SS monitoring opportunity and the candidate time domain resources can be any of the following: each LP SS monitoring opportunity corresponds to one candidate time domain resource; each LP SS monitoring opportunity corresponds to multiple candidate time domain resources; multiple LP SS monitoring opportunities correspond to one candidate time domain resource.

[0272] In some embodiments, the first time domain resource is the first time domain resource among the candidate time domain resources corresponding to the third monitoring opportunity.

[0273] In some embodiments, the third monitoring opportunity is the first LP SS monitoring opportunity that meets the first preset condition. The first terminal may first obtain all time-frequency resources corresponding to the LP SS and identify the time-frequency resources that meet the first preset condition as candidate time-frequency resources. Optionally, the first candidate time-frequency resource may be determined as the first time-frequency resource.

[0274] The methods described in Examples 1 to 6 above can also be applied to the first terminal side and the network device side, that is, can be applied to steps 2104a and 2104b.

[0275] Step 2104b: The network device determines a first time domain resource.

[0276] In some embodiments, the network device may determine the first time domain resource based on protocol predefinition.

[0277] In some embodiments, the network device may send configuration information to the first terminal, where the configuration information is used by the first terminal to determine the first time domain resource.

[0278] In some embodiments, the method for the network device to determine the first time domain resource is consistent with the method for the first terminal to determine the first time domain resource. This step can refer to the method described in step 2104a.

[0279] In some embodiments, the execution order of step 2104a and step 2104b can be random or can be executed simultaneously, that is, the first terminal and the network device can determine the first time domain resource at the same time; or the first terminal can determine the first time domain resource first or the network device can determine the first time domain resource first.

[0280] Step 2105: The first terminal sends first information to the network device.

[0281] In some embodiments, the first information may be used to provide feedback that the first terminal has woken up the main receiver MR and / or the status of the MR.

[0282] In some embodiments, the first information may include multiple fields, each of which may indicate different information.

[0283] In some embodiments, the name of the first information may be “wake-up feedback information”, “status feedback information”, “resource indication information”, etc. The present disclosure does not limit the name of the first information.

[0284] Optionally, after the first terminal wakes up the MR, the first terminal can send the first information through an ACK message, and the first information can indicate that the first terminal has woken up the MR; or, the first terminal can send the first information through a HARQ-ACK message, and the first bit of the first information can identify the state of the MR, where the state of the MR can include any one of the following: awake state, super deep sleep state, deep sleep state, light sleep state, and shallow sleep state.

[0285] In some embodiments, the first information may also be used to indicate a resource for the first terminal to monitor a paging message.

[0286] In some embodiments, the first information may include multiple bits for indicating the paging occasion PO, that is, the first terminal may actively report the PO that the first terminal can use, thereby avoiding the network device from blindly detecting all POs of the first terminal.

[0287] In some embodiments, the first information may be used to indicate at least one PO in a set of POs configured by the network device.

[0288] In some embodiments, the first information may be used to indicate at least one PO in a set of POs configured by the network device that meets a first preset condition.

[0289] In some embodiments, in the above example, the first preset condition is that the interval between the start time of the first terminal waking up the MR and the start time of at least one PO is greater than or equal to the first duration.

[0290] In some embodiments, the first duration includes at least one of the following: the duration required for the first terminal to wake up the MR; the duration required for the first terminal to complete time and frequency synchronization with the MR; and the duration of the first terminal's uplink preparation. That is, the first terminal can report a PO that meets the duration conditions and that the first terminal can use for selection by the network device, thereby maintaining synchronization between the first terminal and the network device.

[0291] Optionally, the first information may also be used to indicate an identifier of the first terminal. The first terminal may actively report its own identifier information, so that the network device can identify the first terminal based on the identifier information.

[0292] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the above steps 2101 and 2102 may be optional steps.

[0370] The following is an exemplary introduction to the above method.

[0371] The method shown in the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a system and method for transmitting a low-power wake-up signal based on wake-up feedback.

[0372] In a communication system, a base station can wake up terminals supporting LP WUS in a cell or change the sleep state of these terminals by sending an LP WUS signal. After receiving the LP WUS signal, the terminal supporting LP WUS can wake up the MR according to the information carried by the LP WUS, thereby waking up the terminal or changing the sleep state. Among them, the change of the sleep state of the MR refers to the mutual switching of states such as super deep sleep, deep sleep, light sleep, and shallow sleep, and the awakening of the MR refers to the conversion of the MR from any sleep state to the awakened state. Before receiving the LP WUS, the terminal's LP WUR attempts to receive a low power synchronization signal LP SS (Low power Synchronization Signal) to obtain auxiliary information of the LP WUS, such as time-frequency synchronization information, cell ID information, etc. The base station sends the LP SS according to the configuration defined by the protocol or the configuration indicated by the base station to at least one UE, and the UE monitors the LP SS according to the predefined configuration of the protocol or the configuration of the base station.

[0373] The base station configures at least one LP WUS monitoring opportunity for the terminal, and the terminal monitors LP WUS transmission during the LP WUS monitoring opportunity. If the terminal receives an LP WUS sent by the base station, and the LP WUS instructs the terminal to wake up the MR, the terminal sends a wake-up feedback to the base station. The resource determination method for sending the wake-up feedback includes at least one of the following:

[0374] 1. In some embodiments, the protocol predefines that the terminal sends wakeup feedback on the nearest uplink resource after the first time of an LP WUS listening opportunity. The first time includes at least one of the MR wakeup time and the time when the terminal completes synchronization. Furthermore, if the number of LP WUS listening opportunities monitored by the terminal is greater than one, the LP WUS listening opportunity is the last LP WUS listening opportunity that indicates the terminal wakes up. The nearest uplink resource may be an uplink resource configured by the base station for multiple terminals.

[0375] 2. In some embodiments, as predefined by the protocol, the terminal may send wake-up feedback on the nearest "available" uplink resource after the first time of the LP WUS listening opportunity. The candidate resource set of available resources may be pre-configured for the terminal by the base station. The first time includes at least one of the MR wake-up time and the time when the terminal completes synchronization. Furthermore, if the number of LP WUS listening opportunities monitored by the terminal is greater than one, the LP WUS listening opportunity is the last LP WUS listening opportunity that indicates the terminal wakes up. An "available" uplink resource indicates that the uplink resource is an uplink resource individually configured by the base station for the terminal.

[0376] 3. In some embodiments, the LP WUS listening opportunity is bound to the first resource of the wake-up feedback by protocol pre-definition or base station configuration. One LP WUS listening opportunity corresponds to at least one first resource, or one first resource corresponds to at least one LP WUS listening opportunity. Furthermore, the interval between the LP WUS listening opportunity and its corresponding first resource is not less than the first time. The first time includes at least one of the MR wake-up time and the terminal completion synchronization time. Furthermore, if the number of LP WUS listening opportunities monitored by the terminal is greater than 1, the LP WUS listening opportunity is the last LP WUS listening opportunity that indicates the terminal wakes up. Furthermore, the wake-up indication can be sent only upon confirmation (ACK), that is, after the MR wakes up. Alternatively, the wake-up indication includes a 1-bit HARQ-ACK to indicate the MR status.

[0377] If the terminal does not receive the LP WUS sent by the base station, it can actively wake up the MR. After waking up, the terminal sends a wake-up feedback to the base station. The resource determination method for sending the wake-up feedback includes at least one of the following:

[0378] 1. In some embodiments, the protocol predefines that the terminal sends wakeup feedback on the closest uplink resource after the first time of the LP WUS listening opportunity. The first time includes at least one of the MR wakeup time and the time when the terminal completes synchronization. Furthermore, if the number of LP WUS listening opportunities monitored by the terminal is greater than one, the LP WUS listening opportunity is the closest LP WUS listening opportunity after the terminal wakes up the MR, indicating that the terminal is awakened. The closest uplink resource may be an uplink resource configured by the base station for multiple terminals.

[0379] 2. In some embodiments, the protocol predefines that the terminal sends wakeup feedback on the nearest "available" uplink resource after the first time of the LP WUS listening opportunity. The candidate resource set of available resources may be pre-configured by the base station to the terminal. The first time may include at least one of the MR wakeup time and the time when the terminal completes synchronization. Furthermore, if the number of LP WUS listening opportunities monitored by the terminal is greater than one, the LP WUS listening opportunity is the nearest LP WUS listening opportunity indicating the terminal's wakeup after the terminal wakes up the MR. An "available" uplink resource indicates that the uplink resource is an uplink resource individually configured by the base station for the terminal.

[0380] 3. In some embodiments, the LP WUS listening opportunity is bound to the first resource for wake-up feedback, as predefined by the protocol or configured by the base station. One LP WUS listening opportunity corresponds to at least one first resource, or one first resource corresponds to at least one LP WUS listening opportunity. Furthermore, the interval between an LP WUS listening opportunity and its corresponding first resource is no less than a first time. The first time may include at least one of the MR wake-up time and the time when the terminal completes synchronization. Furthermore, if the number of LP WUS listening opportunities monitored by the terminal is greater than one, the LP WUS listening opportunity is the most recent LP WUS listening opportunity indicating the terminal's wake-up after the terminal wakes up the MR.

[0381] 4. In some embodiments, the protocol pre-defines that the terminal sends the wakeup feedback on the nearest uplink resource after the first time of waking up the MR. The first time may include at least one of the MR wakeup time and the time when the terminal completes synchronization.

[0382] 5. As predefined by the protocol, the terminal sends wakeup feedback on the nearest available uplink resource after the first time the MR is woken. The candidate set of available resources is preconfigured by the base station to the terminal. The first time can include at least one of the MR wakeup time and the time the terminal completes synchronization.

[0383] 6. In some embodiments, the LP WUS listening opportunity is bound to the first resource for wakeup feedback, as predefined by the protocol or configured by the base station. One LP WUS listening opportunity corresponds to at least one first resource, or one first resource corresponds to at least one LP WUS listening opportunity. Furthermore, the interval between an LP WUS listening opportunity and its corresponding first resource is no less than a first time. The first time includes at least one of the time when the MR can be woken up and the time when the terminal completes synchronization. The terminal sends the wakeup feedback on the first resource closest to the first time after the first time of waking up the MR.

[0384] 7. In some embodiments, a predefined protocol or base station configuration binds an LPSS to the first resource for wakeup feedback. One LPSS corresponds to at least one first resource, or one first resource corresponds to at least one LPSS. Furthermore, the interval between the LPSS and its corresponding first resource is no less than a first time. The first time may include at least one of the MR wakeup time and the time it takes for the terminal to complete synchronization. The terminal sends the wakeup feedback on the first resource closest to the first time it wakes up the MR. Furthermore, the wakeup indication may be sent only with an ACK, i.e., after the MR wakes up. Alternatively, the wakeup indication may include a 1-bit HARQ-ACK to indicate the MR status.

[0385] After waking up the MR, the terminal may send first information to the base station. The first information may include first resource indication information and / or terminal identification information (UE_ID). The first resource indication information is used to indicate the time domain, frequency domain, or time-frequency domain resources monitored by the terminal. The method for determining the first resource indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0386] The first resource indication information includes N bits, and is used to indicate PO.

[0387] 1. In one implementation, the first resource indication information uniquely indicates at least one PO in the entire PO set.

[0388] 2. In one implementation, the first resource indication information uniquely indicates at least one PO in a set of POs that meet the timing. For example, the number of POs that meet the timing is POn and POn+1. The first resource indication information is 1 bit, where 0 represents the first POn that meets the timing, and 1 represents the second POn+1 that meets the timing.

[0389] In summary, the above-mentioned embodiments of the present scheme can realize reporting of wake-up feedback after the terminal wakes up the MR, so that the terminal can judge the terminal status based on the feedback information and schedule the terminal; the feedback information can carry the first resource indication information, including the time domain, frequency domain or time-frequency domain resources monitored by the terminal, as well as the terminal identification, etc., which can facilitate the base station to confirm the identity information of the terminal.
