Description

Information processing method, device, equipment, chip, and storage medium Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of mobile communication technology, and specifically to information processing methods and devices, equipment, chips, and storage media. Background Art

[0002] The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) introduced a paging mechanism in the fifth-generation mobile communication (5G) New Radio (NR).

[0003] The paging mechanism has two main functions. First, it enables network devices to page terminal devices via paging messages when the terminal device is in the Radio Resource Control (RRC) idle state or RRC_INACTIVE (inactive state). Second, it enables network devices to notify terminal devices of system message changes or public warning information such as earthquakes and tsunamis via short messages. The paging mechanism applies to all RRC states of the terminal device, including the connected state.

[0004] However, paging initiated by core network equipment (CN paging) still has problems such as long paging delay or paging failure.

[0055] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application pertains. The terms used herein are for the purpose of describing the embodiments of this application only and are not intended to limit this application.

[0057] FIG1 is a schematic diagram of the architecture of a wireless communication system to which embodiments of the present application may be applied. As shown in FIG1 , wireless communication system 10 may include terminal device 101, access network device 102, and core network device 103. Access network device 102 can communicate with terminal device 101 via an air interface. Multi-service transmission is supported between terminal device 101 and access network device 102.

[0058] It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application are illustratively described with reference to the wireless communication system 10, but the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. That is, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application can be applied to various wireless communication systems, such as: Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, LTE Time Division Duplex (TDD), Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), Internet of Things (IoT) system, Narrow Band Internet of Things (NB-IoT) system, enhanced Machine-Type Communications (eMTC) system, 5G communication system (also known as NR communication system), or future communication systems.

[0059] The terminal device 101 may be any terminal device, including but not limited to a terminal device that is connected to the access network device 102 or other terminal devices by wired or wireless means.

[0060] For example, the terminal device 101 may refer to an access terminal, a user equipment (UE), a user unit, a user station, a mobile station, a mobile station, a remote station, a remote terminal, a mobile device, a user terminal, a terminal, a wireless communication device, a user agent or a user device. The access terminal may be a cellular phone, a cordless phone, a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) phone, an IoT device, a satellite handheld terminal, a Wireless Local Loop (WLL) station, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a handheld device with wireless communication capabilities, a computing device or other processing device connected to a wireless modem, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, a terminal device in a 5G network or a terminal device in a future evolution network, etc., and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. For ease of description, the devices mentioned above are collectively referred to as terminal devices. The number of terminal devices 101 is usually multiple, and one or more terminal devices 101 may be distributed in the cell managed by each access network device 102.

[0061] Access network equipment 102 is a device deployed in the access network to provide wireless communication capabilities for terminal device 101. Access network equipment 102 can include various forms of macro base stations, micro base stations, relay stations, access points, and so on. In systems using different wireless access technologies, the names of devices that perform access network functions may vary. For example, in 5G NR systems, they are referred to as gNodeBs or gNBs. As communication technologies evolve, the term "access network equipment" may change. Optionally, access network equipment 102 enables communication between terminal device 101 and core network equipment 103. Exemplarily, in an LTE system, the access network device 102 may be an evolved universal terrestrial radio access network (EUTRAN) or one or more evolved base stations (eNB or eNodeB) in the EUTRAN; in a 5G NR system, the access network device 102 may be one or more gNBs in a radio access network (RAN); the access network device 102 may also be a next generation radio access network (NG RAN) device, or a wireless controller in a cloud radio access network (CRAN), or the access network device 102 may be a relay station, an access point, an in-vehicle device, a wearable device, a hub, a switch, a bridge, a router, or a network device in a future evolved public land mobile network (PLMN), etc.

[0062] The core network device 103 can be a 5G core network (5G Core, 5GC) device, for example, an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), an Authentication Server Function (AUSF), a User Plane Function (UPF), or a Session Management Function (SMF). Optionally, the core network device 103 can also be an Evolved Packet Core (EPC) device of the LTE network, for example, a Session Management Function + Core Packet Gateway (SMF+PGW-C) device. It should be understood that SMF+PGW-C can simultaneously implement the functions that SMF and PGW-C can implement. During the network evolution process, the above-mentioned core network devices may also be called other names, or new network entities may be formed by dividing the functions of the core network, and this embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0063] The functional units in the wireless communication system 10 may also establish connections and implement communications through next generation (NG) network interfaces.

[0064] For example, terminal device 101 establishes an air interface connection with access network device 102 via the NR interface for transmitting user plane data and control plane signaling. Terminal device 101 may establish a control plane signaling connection with the AMF via NG interface 1 (referred to as N1). Access network device 102, such as a next-generation radio access base station (gNB), may establish a user plane data connection with the UPF via NG interface 3 (referred to as N3). Access network device 102 may establish a control plane signaling connection with the AMF via NG interface 2 (referred to as N2). The UPF may establish a control plane signaling connection with the SMF via NG interface 4 (referred to as N4). The UPF may exchange user plane data with the data network via NG interface 6 (referred to as N6). The AMF may establish a control plane signaling connection with the SMF via NG interface 11 (referred to as N11). The SMF may establish a control plane signaling connection with the PCF via NG interface 7 (referred to as N7). Access network device 102, such as a gNB, may establish a communication connection with another access network device 102 via the Xn interface.

[0065] Figure 1 exemplarily shows a terminal device 101, an access network device 102, and a core network device 103. Optionally, the wireless communication system 10 may include more access network devices 102 and more core network devices 103, and the coverage area of ​​the access network device 102 may include other numbers of terminal devices, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0066] It should be noted that Figure 1 is merely an example of a system applicable to this application. Of course, the methods described in the embodiments of this application can also be applied to other systems. Furthermore, the terms "system" and "network" are often used interchangeably herein. The term "and / or" herein simply describes an association relationship between associated objects, indicating that three possible relationships exist. For example, "A and / or B" can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, or B exists alone. Furthermore, the character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects are in an "or" relationship. It should also be understood that the "indication" mentioned in the embodiments of this application can be a direct indication, an indirect indication, or an indication of an association relationship. For example, "A indicates B" can mean that A directly indicates B, for example, B can obtain information through A; it can also mean that A indirectly indicates B, for example, A indicates C, and B can obtain information through C; or it can mean that A and B have an association relationship. It should also be understood that the "correspondence" mentioned in the embodiments of this application can mean that there is a direct or indirect correspondence between two objects, or that there is an association relationship between the two objects, or a relationship between an indicator and the indicated, a configuration and the configured, and so on. It should also be understood that the “predefined” or “predefined rules” mentioned in the embodiments of the present application can be implemented by pre-saving corresponding codes, tables or other methods that can be used to indicate relevant information in a device (for example, a terminal device, an access network device or a core network device). The present application does not limit its specific implementation method. For example, predefined can refer to a definition in a protocol. It should also be understood that in the embodiments of the present application, the “protocol” may refer to a standard protocol in the field of communications, such as an LTE protocol, an NR protocol, and related protocols used in future communication systems, and the present application does not limit this.

[0067] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the relevant technologies of the embodiments of the present application are described below. The following relevant technologies can be arbitrarily combined with the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application as optional solutions, and they all fall within the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application.

[0068] With the increasing demand for speed, latency, high-speed mobility, and energy efficiency, coupled with the increasing diversity and complexity of future services, the 3GPP international standards organization has begun developing 5G communications technology. The main application scenarios for 5G communications technology include enhanced mobile ultra-broadband (eMBB), ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC), and massive machine-type communications (mMTC).

[0069] The 5G NR system can also be deployed independently. To reduce air interface signaling and quickly restore wireless connections and data services in the 5G network environment, a new RRC state is defined, namely the RRC inactive (RRC_INACTIVE) state. This state is different from the RRC idle (RRC_IDLE) and RRC active (RRC_ACTIVE) states.

[0070] RRC_IDLE state: Mobility is based on UE cell reselection. Paging is initiated by the Core Network (CN), and the paging area is configured by the CN. There is no UE Access Stratum (AS) context on the base station side. No RRC connection exists.

[0071] RRC_CONNECTED state: An RRC connection exists, and a UE AS context exists between the base station and the UE. The network knows the UE's location at the cell level. Mobility is controlled by the network. Unicast data can be transmitted between the UE and the base station.

[0072] RRC_INACTIVE state: Mobility is based on UE cell selection and reselection, there is a connection between CN and NR, the UE AS context exists on a certain base station, paging is triggered by the Radio Access Network (RAN), the RAN-based paging area is managed by the RAN, and the network side knows the UE location based on the RAN paging area level.

[0073] In the 5G NR system, the main function of paging is to enable the network to page the UE through a paging message when the UE is in the RRC_IDLE state or RRC_INACTIVE state, or to notify the UE of system message changes or earthquake, tsunami / public warning information through a short message (applicable to all RRC states of the UE, including the RRC connected state).

[0074] Paging includes the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) scrambled by the Paging Radio Network Temporary Identifier (P-RNTI) and the Physical Downlink Share Channel (PDSCH) scheduled by the PDCCH. Paging messages are transmitted on the PDSCH, and short messages are 8 bits in the PDCCH.

[0075] For UEs in RRC_IDLE or RRC_INACTIVE states, since there is no other data communication between the UE and the network, in order to save power, the UE can monitor the paging channel discontinuously, that is, adopt the paging discontinuous reception (DRX) mechanism. Under the paging DRX mechanism, the UE only needs to monitor paging during one paging occasion (PO) in each DRX cycle. A PO consists of multiple PDCCH monitoring occasions in the paging search space. A PO contains X PDCCH monitoring occasions, where X is equal to the number of synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) actually sent broadcast in the master information block (MIB). There is also the concept of a paging frame (PF), which refers to a radio frame (for example, a fixed 10ms). The radio frame can contain multiple POs or the starting positions of multiple POs.

[0076] The Paging DRX cycle is determined by the common cycle in the system broadcast and the dedicated cycle configured in the higher-layer signaling (such as the Non-access Stratum (NAS) signaling). The UE takes the minimum of the two as the paging cycle. From the network perspective, a paging DRX cycle can have multiple POs. The position where the UE monitors the PO is related to the UE ID. The specific PF and PO of a UE in a Paging DRX cycle are determined as follows (TS 38.304):

[0077] The PF system frame number (SFN) can be determined by the following formula:

[0078] (SFN+PF_offset)mod T=(T div N)*(UE_ID mod N)

[0079] The index (i_s) of a PO within a PF can be determined by the following formula:

[0080] i_s=floor(UE_ID / N)mod Ns

[0081] The explanations of some parameters in the above formula are as follows:

[0082] T: The UE receives the DRX cycle for paging. The network broadcasts a default DRX cycle. If the RRC / higher layers configure a UE-specific DRX cycle for the UE, the minimum of the network-broadcast DRX cycle and the RRC / higher layer-configured UE-specific DRX cycle is used as the UE's DRX cycle. If the RRC / higher layers do not configure a UE-specific DRX cycle for the UE, the network-broadcast DRX cycle is used as the UE's DRX cycle.

[0083] N: The number of PFs contained in a T.

[0084] Ns: The number of POs contained in a PF.

[0085] PF_offset: A time domain offset used to determine PF.

[0086] UE_ID:5G-S-TMSI mod 1024.

[0087] After the UE calculates the PF, the index of the PO, and the number of PDCCH monitoring occasions in the PO based on the above formula, it only needs to know the starting position of the first PDCCH monitoring occasion in the PO through relevant configuration parameters. This starting position is configured through higher-layer signaling. The UE blindly detects paging messages based on the determined PO.

[0088] A paging false alarm indicates a false alarm in paging. As shown above, the PO determined by the UE is related to the UE ID and the total number of PFs and POs. When the system has many UEs and the network cannot assign each UE to a different PO, multiple UEs may correspond to one PO. If the network needs to paging a UE at this PO, other UEs that did not originally receive paging messages may be subject to additional blind detection, primarily of the PDCCH and its corresponding PDSCH. For these UEs that did not originally receive paging messages, this erroneous paging is considered a false alarm.

[0089] Among the work items for Release 17, the 3GPP RAN plenary meeting agreed to a project (RP-193239) to further enhance terminal power saving. One of the goals of this project is to reduce unnecessary UE paging reception (i.e., reduce paging false alarms) by designing an enhanced paging mechanism. To this end, the Release 17 UE power saving project introduced the Paging Early Indication (PEI) mechanism, which operates as follows:

[0090] 1. PEI is designed based on PDCCH. The network sends PEI before PO. The UE decides whether to monitor paging normally on the corresponding PO or skip paging monitoring based on the received PEI indication.

[0091] 2. PEI can provide wake-up instructions based on UE groups, that is, UEs assigned to the same PO are further divided into multiple UE groups. The network can indicate which UE group or groups the paging message is for, so that UEs in other UE groups do not need to receive paging messages.

[0092] During the discussion on the establishment of 3GPP Rel-18, it is hoped that a wake-up signal with lower power consumption, namely the ultra-low power wakeup signal (LP-WUS), will be considered. Compared with the PEI mechanism of R17, the low power WUS is more energy-efficient. It will use a separate ultra-low power receiver (LR) with lower power consumption, that is, it will not use the main receiver (MR). After the LR of the terminal receives the LP-WUS, it starts the main receiver to listen for paging messages to achieve the purpose of energy saving. In addition to being used for UEs in the RRC_IDLE / RRC_INACTIVE state, LP-WUS can also be used for UEs in the RRC_CONNECTED state.

[0093] Optionally, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a possible working principle of LP-WUS provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 2, when the LP-WUS function is enabled, the LR monitors the LP-WUS and the MR is in a deep sleep state; when the LR monitors the LP-WUS, it sends a trigger signal (trigger) to the MR, and the trigger signal is used to wake up the MR to monitor the paging message.

[0094] Based on the performance evaluation of LP-WUS, while the introduction of an LP-WUS receiver (i.e., LR) can save terminal power consumption, its receiver sensitivity performance is reduced compared to Rel-17PEI, resulting in a corresponding reduction in the coverage range supported by the signal (as shown in Table 1 below). Therefore, a mechanism is needed to switch the UE between LP-WUS reception and normal MR reception.

[0096] Optionally, when the UE is within the coverage of LP-WUS, the UE can use LR to monitor LP-WUS; when the UE is outside the coverage of LP-WUS, the UE needs to use MR to monitor paging normally. Therefore, a more intuitive definition of the entry and exit conditions used by LP-WUS is:

[0097] 1. Entry conditions: This includes a serving cell signal quality measurement threshold (e.g., RSRP threshold). When the serving cell signal quality measured by the UE via LR and / or MR is greater than or equal to this threshold, the UE uses LR to monitor LP-WUS. The serving cell signal quality measurement threshold can be configured by the network via system messages.

[0098] 2. Leave Condition: This includes a serving cell signal quality measurement threshold (e.g., RSRP threshold). When the serving cell signal quality measured by the UE via the LR and / or MR is less than this threshold, the UE does not monitor the LP-WUS using the LR, but instead monitors paging using the MR. The serving cell signal quality measurement threshold can be configured by the network via system messages.

[0099] As mentioned earlier, the introduction of LP-WUS can save UE power consumption. However, for UEs in RRC_IDLE or RRC_INACTIVE states, the MR of the UE is typically in an ultra-deep sleep state or off while its LR is monitoring LP-WUS. Therefore, when the LR of the UE receives LP-WUS and wakes up the MR, the MR must first perform downlink synchronization and measurement before receiving paging. Therefore, a relatively long wake-up time is required from the time the UE receives LP-WUS to the time it receives paging. Based on relevant evaluations, this wake-up time can be as long as 400 to 800ms. Therefore, the use of LP-WUS introduces additional paging latency.

[0100] Therefore, for UEs that support the LP-WUS function, the network needs to decide whether to enable the LP-WUS function for the LP-WUS based on the service characteristics of the UE, that is, to introduce an enable / disable mechanism for the LP-WUS function. For example, if the UE has a need to save power and the service of the UE does not require high latency, then the network can configure a larger (e)DRX cycle for the UE and enable the LP-WUS function at the same time, that is, use a paging monitoring mechanism based on LP-WUS. For another example, if the UE has some latency-sensitive services, then the network needs to configure a smaller DRX cycle for the UE and disable the LP-WUS function at the same time, that is, not use the paging monitoring mechanism based on LP-WUS, but directly use MR to monitor paging.

[0101] Since the sources of the UE's monitored paging in the RRC_IDLE state and the RRC_INACTIVE state may be different, for example, the paging monitored by the UE in the RRC_IDLE state is initiated by the CN, so the paging monitoring parameters of the UE in the RRC_IDLE state are all configured by the core network; while the paging monitored by the UE in the RRC_INACTIVE state can be initiated by the RAN or the CN. Therefore, when the base station releases the UE to the RRC_INACTIVE state, it usually refers to the core network configuration to configure another set of paging parameters for the UE for RAN paging monitoring. Then, for the enabling / disabling configuration of the LP-WUS function, there may also be core network configuration and base station configuration. When the base station configuration parameters are inconsistent with the core network configuration parameters, a simple way is for the UE to use the base station configuration to monitor paging, but this may have the following problems:

[0102] 1. If the core network enables LP-WUS for a UE and the base station disables LP-WUS for the UE, the UE follows the base station's configuration and does not monitor LP-WUS, but instead uses the MR to monitor paging normally. However, when the core network initiates CN paging for a UE in RRC_INACTIVE state, it notifies the base stations paging the UE that the UE has LP-WUS enabled. As a result, these base stations will first send LP-WUS to the UE before sending paging. This results in unnecessary LP-WUS transmissions, wasting system resources, and introducing unnecessary paging delays.

[0103] 2. If the core network disables LP-WUS for the UE and the base station enables LP-WUS for the UE, the UE will follow the base station's configuration to monitor LP-WUS and decide whether to wake up the MR to monitor paging normally based on the LP-WUS reception status. However, when the core network initiates CN paging for the UE in RRC_INACTIVE state, it will notify the base stations paging the UE that the UE has disabled LP-WUS. As a result, these base stations will directly send paging to the UE. Since the UE does not receive LP-WUS, it will not enable the MR to monitor paging, making it impossible for the network to paging to the UE.

[0104] Therefore, when both the core network and the base station configure the UE with indication information for enabling / disabling the LP-WUS function, how the UE should monitor paging needs to be defined at the standard level.

[0105] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions of the present application are described in detail below through specific embodiments. The above related technologies can be combined arbitrarily with the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application as optional solutions, and all of them fall within the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present application. The embodiments of the present application include at least part of the following contents.

[0106] The present application provides an information processing method. FIG3 is a flowchart illustrating an implementation of the information processing method provided in the present application. As shown in FIG3 , the method includes the following steps 301 and 302:

[0107] Step 301: A terminal device receives first configuration information sent by a core network device and / or second configuration information sent by a first base station;

[0108] Step 302: The terminal device determines (i.e., configures) whether to enable or disable a first LP-WUS function and / or a second LP-WUS function based on the first configuration information and / or the second configuration information.

[0109] The first configuration information is used to configure the enabling or disabling of the first LP-WUS function and / or the second LP-WUS function; the second configuration information is used to configure the enabling or disabling of the first LP-WUS function and / or the second LP-WUS function; the first LP-WUS function is used to monitor the paging (CN paging) initiated by the core network device, that is, the monitoring of CN paging by the first LP-WUS function is based on LP-WUS; the second LP-WUS function is used to monitor the paging (RAN paging) initiated by the first base station, that is, the monitoring of RAN paging by the second LP-WUS function is based on LP-WUS.

[0110] It can be understood that the information processing method shown in FIG. 3 may include but is not limited to the 10 combination schemes listed below.

[0111] Combination scheme 1: When the terminal device is in the RRC_INACTIVE state, the terminal device receives the first configuration information sent by the core network device and the second configuration information sent by the first base station, and the terminal device determines whether to enable or disable the first LP-WUS function based on the first configuration information, and the terminal device determines whether to enable or disable the second LP-WUS function based on the second configuration information.

[0112] It can be understood that in combination solution 1, the terminal device configures the enabling or disabling of the first LP-WUS function based on the first configuration information received from the core network device, and the terminal device configures the enabling or disabling of the second LP-WUS function based on the second configuration information received from the first base station. The paging monitored by the first and second LP-WUS functions is associated with the device that configured the enabling or disabling of the LP-WUS function. That is, the device that configured the first LP-WUS function is the core network device, so the paging monitored by the first LP-WUS function is CN paging; the device that configured the second LP-WUS function is the first base station, so the paging monitored by the second LP-WUS function is RAN paging. In this way, if the first base station and the core network device have inconsistent configurations of the LP-WUS function for the terminal device, since the monitoring of CN paging complies with the core network device's configuration of the LP-WUS function, CN paging issues (such as increased paging delay or paging failure) caused by inconsistent configurations of the LP-WUS function for the terminal device between the first base station and the core network device are overcome, thereby improving the quality of communication services.

[0113] Combination solution 2: When the terminal device is in the RRC_INACTIVE state, the terminal device receives the first configuration information, and the terminal device determines whether to enable or disable the first LP-WUS function and the second LP-WUS function based on the first configuration information.

[0114] It can be understood that in combination scheme 2, when a terminal device in the RRC_INACTIVE state receives the first configuration information sent by the core network device but does not receive the second configuration information sent by the first base station, that is, when only the core network device configures the first configuration information for the terminal device, the terminal device adopts the same monitoring strategy for CN paging and RAN paging, that is, the terminal device monitors CN paging and RAN paging based on the first configuration information.

[0115] This eliminates the need for the first base station to send the second configuration information to configure the RAN paging monitoring policy, thereby conserving transmission resources. Furthermore, since the first base station does not send the second configuration information, the terminal device defaults to enabling or disabling the second LP-WUS function based on the first configuration information sent by the core network device. This overcomes the CN paging issue caused by inconsistent configuration of the terminal device's LP-WUS function by the first base station and the core network device.

[0116] Combination solution 3: When the terminal device is in the RRC_INACTIVE state, the terminal device receives the first configuration information, and the terminal device determines whether to enable or disable the first LP-WUS function based on the first configuration information;

[0117] It can be understood that in combination scheme 3, when a terminal device in the RRC_INACTIVE state receives the first configuration information sent by the core network device but does not receive the second configuration information sent by the first base station, the terminal device monitors CN paging based on the first configuration information.

[0118] As for monitoring of RAN paging, optionally, in some embodiments, the method further includes: when the terminal device is in an RRC_INACTIVE state, the terminal device determines, based on the first indication information, whether to enable or disable the second LP-WUS function;

[0119] The first indication information is predefined (for example, enabling or disabling the second LP-WUS function), or the first indication information comes from a broadcast message sent by a base station, or the first indication information comes from a first signaling sent by a base station, and the first signaling is a dedicated signaling for the terminal device.

[0120] In this way, when the core network device sends the first configuration information to the terminal device and the first base station does not send the second configuration information to the terminal device, the terminal device determines whether to enable or disable the first LP-WUS function based on the first configuration information, and the terminal device determines whether to enable or disable the second LP-WUS function based on the first indication information, thereby overcoming the CN paging problem caused by inconsistent configuration of the LP-WUS function of the terminal device by the first base station and the core network device.

[0121] In one possible implementation, the base station that broadcasts the first indication information through a broadcast message, or the base station that sends the first indication information through the first signaling, may be the service base station of the terminal device, which may also be the first base station, or may be another base station different from the first base station.

[0122] In an embodiment of the present application, the first signaling can be various dedicated signalings belonging to the terminal device, and is not limited to being an RRC connection release message.

[0123] Combination solution 4: When the terminal device is in the RRC_INACTIVE state, the terminal device receives the first configuration information, and the terminal device determines whether to enable or disable the first LP-WUS function based on the first configuration information;

[0124] It can be understood that in combination scheme 4, the first base station does not send the second configuration information to the terminal device, and the terminal device only receives the first configuration information sent by the core network device. In this way, for monitoring of RAN paging, optionally, in some embodiments, the first base station can instruct the terminal device to disable the second LP-WUS function through implicit configuration. For example, the first base station does not send the second configuration information to the terminal device. This is beneficial to saving transmission resources. Accordingly, for the terminal device, the method further includes: when the terminal device is in the RRC_INACTIVE state, the terminal device disabling the second LP-WUS function.

[0125] In this way, when a terminal device in the RRC_INACTIVE state receives the first configuration information but does not receive the second configuration information, the terminal device determines whether to enable or disable the first LP-WUS function based on the first configuration information, and disables the second LP-WUS function, thereby overcoming the CN paging problem caused by the inconsistent configuration of the LP-WUS function of the terminal device by the first base station and the core network device.

[0126] Combination solution 5: When the terminal device is in the RRC_INACTIVE state, the terminal device receives the second configuration information, and the terminal device determines whether to enable or disable the second LP-WUS function based on the second configuration information;

[0127] It can be understood that in combination scheme 5, the core network device does not send the first configuration information to the terminal device, and the terminal device only receives the second configuration information sent by the first base station. In this way, for monitoring of CN paging, optionally, in some embodiments, the core network device can instruct the terminal device to enable the first LP-WUS function by implicit configuration. For example, the core network device does not send the first configuration information to the terminal device. This is beneficial to saving transmission resources. Correspondingly, for the terminal device, the method also includes: when the terminal device is in the RRC_INACTIVE state, the terminal device disabling the first LP-WUS function.

[0128] In this way, when a terminal device in the RRC_INACTIVE state does not receive the first configuration information but receives the second configuration information, the terminal device disenables the first LP-WUS function and determines whether to enable or disable the second LP-WUS function based on the second configuration information, thereby overcoming the CN paging problem caused by the inconsistent configuration of the LP-WUS function of the terminal device by the first base station and the core network device.

[0129] Combination scheme 6: When the terminal device is in the RRC_IDLE state, the terminal device receives first configuration information and second configuration information; the terminal device in the RRC_IDLE state determines whether to enable or disable the first LP-WUS function based on the first configuration information; and, when the terminal device switches from the RRC_IDLE state to the RRC_INACTIVE state, the terminal device in the RRC_INACTIVE state determines whether to enable or disable the first LP-WUS function based on the first configuration information, and the terminal device in the RRC_INACTIVE state determines whether to enable or disable the second LP-WUS function based on the second configuration information.

[0130] In this way, the CN paging problem caused by inconsistent configuration of the LP-WUS function of the terminal device by the first base station and the core network device is overcome.

[0131] Combination solution 7: When the terminal device is in the RRC_IDLE state, the terminal device receives first configuration information, and the terminal device determines whether to enable or disable the first LP-WUS function based on the first configuration information.

[0132] In one possible implementation, the paging monitored by the terminal device in the RRC_IDLE state is initiated by the core network device. Only when the core network device sends the first configuration information to the terminal device, the terminal device determines whether to enable or disable the first LP-WUS function based on the first configuration information, and monitors the CN paging based on this.

[0133] Combination Solution 8: When the terminal device is in the RRC_INACTIVE state, the terminal device receives the second configuration information but does not receive the first configuration information. The terminal device determines whether to enable or disable the first LP-WUS function and the second LP-WUS function based on the second configuration information. This overcomes the CN paging problem caused by inconsistent configuration of the LP-WUS function of the terminal device by the first base station and the core network device.

[0134] Combination solution 9: When the terminal device is in the RRC_INACTIVE state, the terminal device receives first configuration information and second configuration information, and the terminal device determines whether to enable or disable the first LP-WUS function based on the first configuration information and the second configuration information.

[0135] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the terminal device determines whether to enable or disable the first LP-WUS function based on the first configuration information and the second configuration information, including: if the first configuration information and the second configuration information both indicate that the LP-WUS function is enabled, the terminal device enables the first LP-WUS function; if the first configuration information and the second configuration information both indicate that the LP-WUS function is disabled, the terminal device disables the first LP-WUS function. In this way, the CN paging problem caused by inconsistent configuration of the LP-WUS function of the terminal device by the first base station and the core network device is overcome.

[0136] Combination solution 10: When the terminal device is in the RRC_INACTIVE state, the terminal device receives first configuration information and second configuration information, and the terminal device determines whether to enable or disable the second LP-WUS function based on the first configuration information and the second configuration information.

[0137] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the terminal device determines whether to enable or disable the second LP-WUS function based on the first configuration information and the second configuration information, including: if the first configuration information and the second configuration information both indicate that the LP-WUS function is enabled, the terminal device enables the second LP-WUS function; if the first configuration information and the second configuration information both indicate that the LP-WUS function is disabled, the terminal device disables the second LP-WUS function. This overcomes the CN paging problem caused by inconsistent configuration of the LP-WUS function of the terminal device by the first base station and the core network device.

[0138] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the first LP-WUS function is enabled, the terminal device monitors CN paging based on LP-WUS; when the second LP-WUS function is enabled, the terminal device monitors RAN paging based on LP-WUS; when the first LP-WUS function is disabled, the terminal device monitors CN paging based on MR; when the second LP-WUS function is disabled, the terminal device monitors RAN paging based on MR.

[0139] Optionally, in some embodiments, LP-WUS is used to wake up the MR to monitor paging; that is, when the LP-WUS function is enabled, if the LR monitors the LP-WUS, the MR is woken up to monitor paging.

[0140] In other embodiments, LP-WUS is used to indicate whether to wake up MR or not. For example, the value carried by the LP-WUS signal is equal to the first value, indicating that MR is woken up; the value carried by the LP-WUS signal is equal to the second value, indicating that MR is not woken up; wherein the first value is different from the second value.

[0141] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present application, the enabling or disabling of the LP-WUS function can also be expressed as the activation or deactivation of the LP-WUS function. Optionally, in some embodiments, enabling the LP-WUS function means that the terminal device monitors LP-WUS, and disabling the LP-WUS function means that the terminal device does not monitor LP-WUS. Optionally, in some embodiments, enabling the LP-WUS function is a necessary but not sufficient condition for the terminal device to monitor LP-WUS, that is, under the premise of enabling the LP-WUS function, the terminal device also needs to further combine the LP-WUS entry / exit conditions of the current service cell. The terminal device monitors LP-WUS only when the LP-WUS entry conditions are met, otherwise, it does not monitor LP-WUS. In addition, another prerequisite for the terminal device to monitor LP-WUS in a cell is that the cell supports LP-WUS.

[0142] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first configuration information indicates enabling the first LP-WUS function, and / or the second configuration information indicates enabling the second LP-WUS function; the terminal device determines enabling or disabling the first LP-WUS function and / or the second LP-WUS function based on the first configuration information and / or the second configuration information, including: the terminal device determines enabling or disabling the first LP-WUS function and / or the second LP-WUS function based on the first configuration information and / or the second configuration information, and / or whether the signal reception quality of the serving cell is greater than or equal to a threshold value and / or whether the serving cell supports LP-WUS.

[0143] Exemplarily, in some embodiments, the first configuration information indicates enabling the first LP-WUS function, and the terminal device determines whether to enable or disable the first LP-WUS function based on the first configuration information, and / or whether the signal reception quality of the serving cell is greater than or equal to a threshold value and / or whether the serving cell supports LP-WUS.

[0144] For example, if the first configuration information indicates to enable the first LP-WUS function, the signal reception quality of the service cell of the terminal device is greater than or equal to the corresponding threshold value and / or the service cell supports the LP-WUS, then the terminal device monitors CN paging by enabling the first LP-WUS function.

[0145] For another example, if the first configuration information indicates that the first LP-WUS function is enabled, and the signal reception quality of the service cell of the terminal device is less than the corresponding threshold value and / or the service cell does not support the LP-WUS, the terminal device monitors CN paging by disabling the first LP-WUS function, that is, using MR to monitor CN paging.

[0146] Exemplarily, in some other embodiments, the second configuration information indicates enabling the first LP-WUS function, and the terminal device determines whether to enable or disable the second LP-WUS function based on the second configuration information, and / or whether the signal reception quality of the serving cell is greater than or equal to a threshold value and / or whether the serving cell supports LP-WUS.

[0147] For example, if the second configuration information indicates that the second LP-WUS function is enabled, the signal reception quality of the service cell of the terminal device is greater than or equal to the corresponding threshold value and / or the service cell supports the LP-WUS, then the terminal device monitors RAN paging by enabling the second LP-WUS function.

[0148] For example, if the second configuration information indicates that the second LP-WUS function is enabled, and the signal reception quality of the service cell of the terminal device is less than the corresponding threshold value and / or the service cell does not support the LP-WUS, the terminal device monitors RAN paging by disabling the second LP-WUS function and uses MR to monitor RAN paging.

[0149] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first configuration information indicates enabling the first LP-WUS function; the first indication information indicates enabling the second LP-WUS function; the terminal device determines enabling or disabling the first LP-WUS function based on the first configuration information, including: the terminal device determines enabling or disabling the first LP-WUS function based on the first configuration information, and / or whether the signal reception quality of the serving cell is greater than or equal to a threshold value and / or whether the serving cell supports LP-WUS; the terminal device determines enabling or disabling the second LP-WUS function based on the first indication information, including: the terminal device determines enabling or disabling the second LP-WUS function based on the first indication information, and / or whether the signal reception quality of the serving cell is greater than or equal to a threshold value and / or whether the serving cell supports LP-WUS.

[0150] In this embodiment, even if the first configuration information indicates that the first LP-WUS function is enabled, if the signal reception quality of the serving cell is less than the threshold value and / or the serving cell does not support LP-WUS, the terminal device still disables the first LP-WUS function. Of course, if the first configuration information indicates that the first LP-WUS function is enabled, the terminal device only enables the first LP-WUS function if the signal reception quality of the serving cell is greater than or equal to the threshold value and / or the serving cell supports LP-WUS.

[0151] Similarly, even if the first indication information indicates that the second LP-WUS function is enabled, if the signal reception quality of the serving cell is less than the threshold value and / or the serving cell does not support LP-WUS, the terminal device still disables the second LP-WUS function. Of course, if the first indication information indicates that the second LP-WUS function is enabled, the terminal device only enables the second LP-WUS function if the signal reception quality of the serving cell is greater than or equal to the threshold value and / or the serving cell supports LP-WUS.

[0152] In this embodiment of the present application, the "first" in "first LP-WUS function" and the "second" in "second LP-WUS function" simply refer to the different paging targets monitored by the LP-WUS functions. This means that the monitoring timings for CN paging and RAN paging are different. Optionally, the monitoring timing is related to a periodic parameter sent by the core network device or the first base station to the terminal device.

[0153] In some embodiments, the terminal device receives a first cycle parameter sent by the core network device and / or a second cycle parameter of the system message broadcast by the base station; the first cycle parameter and / or the second cycle parameter are used to monitor the paging initiated by the core network device.

[0154] In some embodiments, the terminal device receives a third cycle parameter sent by the first base station; the third cycle parameter is used to monitor the paging initiated by the first base station.

[0155] It is understood that the first cycle parameter sent by the core network device and / or the second cycle parameter (such as the default DRX cycle) broadcast by the base station in the system message is used for monitoring CN paging, and the third cycle parameter sent by the first base station is used for monitoring RAN paging. In this way, CN paging issues caused by inconsistent configuration of the LP-WUS function of the terminal device by the core network device and the first base station can be further optimized.

[0156] In an embodiment of the present application, the base station that broadcasts the second cycle parameter through the system message is the base station of the cell where the terminal device is currently stationed. The base station may be the first base station or may not be the first base station. The first cycle parameter sent by the core network device can also be understood as the first cycle parameter configured by the core network device. The third cycle parameter sent by the first base station can also be understood as the third cycle parameter configured by the first base station. Optionally, the first cycle parameter, the second cycle parameter and the third cycle parameter can be the period of non-continuous monitoring of the paging channel, that is, the DRX period and / or eDRX period for the terminal device to receive paging.

[0157] It can be understood that the first cycle parameter and / or the second cycle parameter are used for monitoring the paging initiated by the core network device. Optionally, in some embodiments, the monitoring of the paging initiated by the core network device includes paging monitoring on the PO (CN paging PO) corresponding to the paging initiated by the core network device, and the first cycle parameter and / or the second cycle parameter are used to determine the PO corresponding to the paging initiated by the core network device. Exemplarily, for the determination of PO, reference can be made to the determination method introduced above. Of course, in the embodiments of the present application, it is not limited to the PO determination method mentioned above. In short, the PO corresponding to the paging initiated by the core network device can be obtained based on the first cycle parameter and / or the second cycle parameter.

[0158] It can be understood that the third period parameter is used for monitoring the paging initiated by the first base station. Optionally, in some embodiments, the monitoring of the paging initiated by the first base station includes paging monitoring on the PO (RAN paging PO) corresponding to the paging initiated by the first base station, and the third period parameter is used to determine the PO corresponding to the paging initiated by the first base station. Exemplarily, for the determination of PO, reference can be made to the determination method introduced above. Of course, in the embodiments of the present application, it is not limited to the PO determination method mentioned above. In short, the PO corresponding to the paging initiated by the core network device can be obtained based on the third period parameter.

[0159] It is understandable that the CN paging PO and the RAN paging PO may overlap. For the overlapping POs, the terminal device may handle them in the same manner as the CN paging PO or the RAN paging PO.

[0160] That is, in an embodiment where the terminal device handles overlapping POs in the same manner as CN paging POs, the paging monitoring on the PO (CN paging PO) corresponding to the paging initiated by the core network device includes the paging monitoring on the overlapping PO, and the paging monitoring on the PO (RAN paging PO) corresponding to the paging initiated by the first base station does not include the paging monitoring on the overlapping PO. In other words, the paging monitoring of the terminal device on the overlapping PO follows the first configuration information sent to the terminal device by the core network device, and the terminal device can enable or disable the first LP-WUS function according to the first configuration information, and based on this, monitor the paging on the CN paging PO (including the overlapping PO). The overlapping PO refers to the overlapping PO of the PO corresponding to the paging initiated by the core network device and the PO corresponding to the paging initiated by the first base station.

[0161] In this way, in the communication mechanism where the core network device is unaware of the configuration of the LP-WUS function of the terminal device by the first base station, the processing method for the overlapping PO of the terminal device is the same as the CN paging PO, which can further optimize the CN paging problem caused by the inconsistent configuration of the LP-WUS function of the terminal device by the core network device and the first base station.

[0162] As for the overlapping PO, the processing method of the terminal device is the same as that of the RAN paging PO in the embodiment, in which the paging monitoring on the PO corresponding to the paging initiated by the core network device (CN paging PO) does not include the paging monitoring on the overlapping PO, and the paging monitoring on the PO corresponding to the paging initiated by the first base station (RAN paging PO) includes the paging monitoring on the overlapping PO. In other words, the paging monitoring of the terminal device on the overlapping PO follows the second configuration information sent to the terminal device by the first base station. The terminal device can enable or disable the second LP-WUS function according to the second configuration information, and based on this, monitor the paging on the RAN paging PO (including the overlapping PO).

[0163] In this way, in the communication mechanism where the first base station is unaware of the configuration of the LP-WUS function of the terminal device by the core network device, the processing method for the terminal device described in the overlapping PO is the same as the RAN paging PO, which can further optimize the CN paging problem caused by the inconsistent configuration of the LP-WUS function of the terminal device by the core network device and the first base station.

[0164] The present embodiment further provides an information processing method. FIG4 is a second schematic diagram of an implementation flow of the information processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG4 , the method includes the following steps 401 and 406:

[0165] In step 401, a core network device sends first configuration information to a terminal device; wherein the first configuration information is used to configure enabling or disabling of a first LP-WUS function; and the monitoring of the first LP-WUS function for paging (CN paging) initiated by the core network device is based on LP-WUS.

[0166] Optionally, in some embodiments, the terminal device may report LP-WUS-related capability information to the core network device; the core network device receives the LP-WUS-related capability information reported by the terminal device; wherein the LP-WUS-related capability information is used to determine the first configuration information. In this way, the first configuration information issued by the core network device to the terminal device matches the LP-WUS-related capabilities of the terminal device, thereby avoiding increased power consumption of the terminal device or paging failure caused by the first configuration information not matching the LP-WUS-related capabilities of the terminal device.

[0167] Optionally, in some embodiments, the LP-WUS-related capability information includes but is not limited to at least one of the following: whether the LP-WUS function is supported; whether there is a power saving requirement; and a delay requirement for the service.

[0168] Exemplarily, in some embodiments, if the LP-WUS-related capability information reported by the terminal device indicates support for the LP-WUS function, power saving requirements, and / or low service latency requirements, the first configuration information issued by the core network device based on the LP-WUS-related capability information is used to indicate enabling of the first LP-WUS function.

[0169] Exemplarily, in other embodiments, if the LP-WUS-related capability information reported by the terminal device is that it supports the LP-WUS function, has power saving requirements or no power saving requirements, and has high requirements for service latency, or if the LP-WUS-related capability information reported by the terminal device is that it does not support the LP-WUS function, has power saving requirements or no power saving requirements, and has high or low requirements for service latency, then the first configuration information sent by the core network device based on the LP-WUS-related capability information is used to indicate the disabling of the first LP-WUS function.

[0170] In one possible implementation, a service with high latency requirements may be represented by a third value, and a service with low latency requirements may be represented by a fourth value, where the third value is different from the fourth value. Of course, in another possible implementation, a service with high latency requirements may be represented by a latency greater than or equal to a certain threshold, and a service with low latency requirements may be represented by a latency less than the threshold.

[0171] Optionally, the core network device not only sends the first configuration information to the terminal device, but also may advertise the first configuration information to one or more base stations within the paging range of the terminal device.

[0172] That is, in some embodiments, the core network device sends the first configuration information to one or more base stations; wherein the one or more base stations are within the paging range of the terminal device. In this way, the one or more base stations within the paging range have a consistent understanding of the core network device's configuration of the first LP-WUS function of the terminal device, thereby resolving CN paging issues caused by inconsistent understanding (such as CN paging failure or increased paging delay).

[0173] In one possible implementation, the core network device may send the first configuration information to some or all base stations in the tracking area (TA) where the terminal device is located; wherein the tracking area where the terminal device is located may also be understood as the tracking area where the terminal device is registered, and the tracking area may be used as the range for the core network device to page the terminal device.

[0174] In the embodiment of the present application, the present application does not limit the message or messages in which the core network device carries the first configuration information and sends the first configuration information to one or more base stations within the paging range of the terminal device. In short, the core network device can notify the first configuration information to one or more base stations within the paging range of the terminal device through a communication interface (such as an NG interface) with the base station.

[0175] Exemplarily, in some embodiments, the first configuration information sent to the one or more base stations carries at least one of the following messages: a paging message; an initial context establishment request message; a UE context release command; or a UE context modification request message.

[0176] That is, the core network device may notify other base stations of the first configuration information based on at least one of the four messages described above. It will be appreciated that if the first configuration information is carried in multiple of the four messages described above, this will help increase the probability of the base station obtaining the first configuration information, thereby further optimizing the CN paging problem caused by inconsistent configuration of the first LP-WUS function of the terminal device.

[0177] In step 402, the terminal device receives first configuration information sent by the core network device; wherein the first configuration information is used to configure enabling or disabling of a first LP-WUS function; and the monitoring of CN paging by the first LP-WUS function is based on LP-WUS.

[0178] In the embodiment of the present application, there is no limitation on the configuration method of the core network device for the first LP-WUS function, and either an explicit configuration method or an implicit configuration method may be adopted.

[0179] For explicit configuration, in some embodiments, the first configuration information includes at least second indication information, where the second indication information is used to indicate enabling or disabling of the first LP-WUS function.

[0180] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the first configuration information also includes LP-WUS-related parameters. That is, the first configuration information includes the second indication information and the LP-WUS-related parameters. Of course, the first configuration information may also not include the LP-WUS-related parameters, and the LP-WUS-related parameters may be carried in other information different from the first configuration information.

[0181] For the implicit configuration method, in some embodiments, the first configuration information includes LP-WUS related parameters, and the first configuration information is used to indicate the enabling of the first LP-WUS function; in this way, the purpose of implicitly indicating the enabling of the first LP-WUS function is achieved, while also saving transmission resources.

[0182] For the implicit configuration method, in some further embodiments, the first configuration information does not include LP-WUS related parameters. The first configuration information is used to indicate disabling of the first LP-WUS function; in this way, the purpose of implicitly indicating disabling of the first LP-WUS function is achieved, while also saving transmission resources.

[0183] In the embodiment of the present application, there is no limitation on the LP-WUS related parameters. In short, they are parameters related to the LP-WUS mechanism / function and different from the second indication information.

[0184] Exemplarily, in some embodiments, the LP-WUS-related parameters include LP-WUS subgrouping information, and the LP-WUS subgrouping information includes the LP-WUS subgroup to which the terminal device belongs. In this way, if the LP-WUS signal received by the terminal device subsequently indicates to wake up the LP-WUS subgroup to which the terminal device belongs, the terminal device starts / wakes up the MR based on the LP-WUS to monitor CN paging. Conversely, if the LP-WUS signal received by the terminal device indicates not to wake up the LP-WUS subgroup to which the terminal device belongs, the terminal device does not start / wake up the MR based on the LP-WUS, but continues to monitor the LP-WUS. In this way, whether the terminal device responds to the LP-WUS to start / wake up the MR is beneficial to saving the power consumption of the terminal device and achieving a more power-saving purpose.

[0185] Optionally, in some embodiments, the core network device may also use the above-mentioned explicit configuration method or implicit configuration method to widely advertise the first configuration information to one or more base stations within the paging range of the terminal device.

[0186] In step 403, the first base station sends second configuration information to the terminal device; wherein the second configuration information is used to configure the enabling or disabling of the second LP-WUS function; and the monitoring of the paging (RAN paging) initiated by the first base station by the second LP-WUS function is based on LP-WUS.

[0187] In the embodiments of the present application, the message type carrying the second configuration information is not limited and can be various. Optionally, in some embodiments, the first base station sends a second signaling to the terminal device; the second signaling is dedicated signaling for the terminal device, and the second signaling carries the second configuration information.

[0188] In the embodiment of the present application, there is no limitation on the second signaling, and it can be a dedicated signaling of the terminal device. For example, in some embodiments, the second signaling is an RRC connection release message (RRC release message).

[0189] Exemplarily, in some embodiments, the RRC connection release message is used to indicate entry into the RRC_INACTIVE state.

[0190] Optionally, the first base station not only sends the second configuration information to the terminal device, but also may advertise the second configuration information to one or more base stations within the paging range of the terminal device.

[0191] That is, in some embodiments, the first base station sends the second configuration information to one or more base stations within a paging range for the terminal device. This allows the one or more base stations within the paging range to have a consistent understanding of the first base station's configuration of the second LP-WUS function for the terminal device, thereby resolving RAN paging issues (e.g., RAN paging failure or increased paging latency) caused by inconsistencies.

[0192] In one possible implementation, the first base station may send the second configuration information to some or all base stations in a radio access network-based notification area (RAN-based Notification Area, RNA) where the terminal device is located, wherein the RNA may be understood as a range within which the first base station pages the terminal device.

[0193] In the embodiment of the present application, the present application does not limit the message in which the first base station carries the second configuration information and sends it to one or more base stations within the paging range of the terminal device. In short, the first base station can notify the one or more base stations within the paging range of the terminal device of the second configuration information through a communication interface with other base stations (such as an Xn interface).

[0194] Exemplarily, in some embodiments, the second configuration information sent to the one or more base stations is carried in a paging message.

[0195] Step 404: The terminal device receives second configuration information sent by the first base station;

[0196] In some embodiments, the terminal device receives second signaling sent by the first base station; the second signaling is dedicated signaling for the terminal device, and the second signaling carries the second configuration information. Further, in some embodiments, the second signaling is an RRC connection release message. Exemplarily, in some embodiments, the RRC connection release message is used to indicate entry into the RRC_INACTIVE state.

[0197] Step 405: The terminal device monitors the paging (CN paging) initiated by the core network device based on the first configuration information.

[0198] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may monitor CN paging based solely on the first configuration information, or may monitor CN paging based on the first configuration information and other conditions. Optionally, in some embodiments, enabling the first LP-WUS function is a necessary but not sufficient condition for the terminal device to monitor LP-WUS. That is, when the first configuration information configures the first LP-WUS function of the terminal device to enable the LP-WUS function, the terminal device may need to activate the LP-WUS function, or may not activate the LP-WUS function.

[0199] Exemplarily, in some embodiments, for the case where the first configuration information indicates that the first LP-WUS function is enabled, the terminal device monitors the paging initiated by the core network device based on the first configuration information, including: the terminal device determines whether to monitor the paging initiated by the core network device by enabling the first LP-WUS function based on the first configuration information, and / or whether the signal reception quality of the serving cell is greater than or equal to the threshold value and / or whether the serving cell supports the LP-WUS.

[0200] For example, if the first configuration information indicates to enable the first LP-WUS function, the signal reception quality of the service cell of the terminal device is greater than or equal to the corresponding threshold value and / or the service cell supports the LP-WUS, then the terminal device monitors CN paging by enabling the first LP-WUS function.

[0201] For example, if the first configuration information indicates that the first LP-WUS function is enabled, and the signal reception quality of the service cell of the terminal device is less than the corresponding threshold value and / or the service cell does not support the LP-WUS, the terminal device monitors CN paging by disabling the first LP-WUS function.

[0202] In the embodiment of the present application, there is no restriction on the type of parameter representing the signal reception quality of the serving cell, which may be Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP), Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR), Bit Error Rate or Block Error Rate (BLER), etc.

[0203] Step 406: The terminal device monitors paging (RAN paging) initiated by the first base station based on the second configuration information.

[0204] Similarly, the terminal device may monitor RAN paging based only on the second configuration information, or may monitor RAN paging based on the second configuration information and other conditions. Optionally, in some embodiments, enabling the second LP-WUS function is a necessary but not sufficient condition for the terminal device to monitor LP-WUS.

[0205] Exemplarily, in some embodiments, when the second configuration information indicates enabling the second LP-WUS function, the terminal device monitors paging initiated by the first base station based on the second configuration information, including: the terminal device determines whether to monitor paging initiated by the first base station by enabling the second LP-WUS function based on the second configuration information and / or whether the signal reception quality of the serving cell is greater than or equal to a threshold value, and / or whether the serving cell supports the LP-WUS. For determining whether to monitor RAN paging by enabling the second LP-WUS function based on these conditions, reference may be made to the embodiment of monitoring CN paging when the first configuration information indicates enabling the first LP-WUS function.

[0206] The present application provides an information processing method. FIG5 is a third schematic diagram of an implementation flow of the information processing method provided in the present application. As shown in FIG5 , the method includes the following steps 501 and 503:

[0207] Step 501: The core network device sends first configuration information to the terminal device;

[0208] Step 502: The terminal device receives first configuration information sent by the core network device; wherein the first configuration information is used to configure enabling or disabling of the first LP-WUS function;

[0209] Step 503: The terminal device monitors the paging (CN paging) initiated by the core network device and the paging (RAN paging) initiated by the first base station based on the first configuration information.

[0210] That is, when only the core network device configures the terminal device to enable or disable the LP-WUS function, the terminal device adopts the same monitoring strategy for CN paging and RAN paging, that is, the terminal device monitors CN paging and RAN paging based on the first configuration information.

[0211] Of course, in other embodiments, when only the core network device configures the terminal device to enable or disable the LP-WUS function, the terminal device may adopt different monitoring strategies for CN paging and RAN paging. That is, the terminal device monitors CN paging based on the first configuration information, but does not monitor RAN paging based on the first configuration information. For example, the terminal device monitors RAN paging based on step 604 of the following embodiment.

[0212] The present application provides an information processing method. FIG6 is a fourth flowchart of the information processing method provided in the present application. As shown in FIG6 , the method includes the following steps 601 and 604:

[0213] Step 601: The core network device sends first configuration information to the terminal device;

[0214] Step 602: The terminal device receives first configuration information sent by the core network device; wherein the first configuration information is used to configure enabling or disabling of the first LP-WUS function;

[0215] Step 603: The terminal device monitors the paging (CN paging) initiated by the core network device based on the first configuration information;

[0216] Step 604: The terminal device monitors paging (RAN paging) initiated by the first base station based on first indication information; wherein the first indication information is used to indicate enabling or disabling of the second LP-WUS function.

[0217] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the first indication information may be predefined (for example, enabling or disabling the second LP-WUS function), or the first indication information may be a broadcast message sent from a base station, or the first indication information may be a first signaling sent from a base station, and the first signaling is a dedicated signaling for the terminal device.

[0218] In one possible implementation, the base station that broadcasts the first indication information through a broadcast message, or the base station that sends the first indication information through a first signaling is the serving base station of the terminal device, which may be the first base station or another base station different from the first base station.

[0219] In an embodiment of the present application, the first signaling can be various dedicated signalings belonging to the terminal device, and is not limited to being an RRC connection release message.

[0220] Similarly, in step 604, the terminal device may monitor RAN paging based only on the first indication information, or may monitor RAN paging based on the first indication information and other conditions. Optionally, in some embodiments, enabling the second LP-WUS function is a necessary but not sufficient condition for the terminal device to monitor LP-WUS.

[0221] Exemplarily, in some embodiments, the terminal device determines whether to monitor the paging initiated by the first base station by enabling the second LP-WUS function based on the first indication information, and / or whether the signal reception quality of the serving cell is greater than or equal to a threshold value, and / or whether the serving cell supports the LP-WUS.

[0222] For determining whether to monitor RAN paging by enabling the second LP-WUS function based on these conditions, reference may be made to the embodiment of monitoring CN paging when the first configuration information indicates enabling the first LP-WUS function.

[0223] Optionally, for any of the above embodiments, the terminal device is in an RRC_INACTIVE state when monitoring the paging initiated by the core network device and / or the paging initiated by the first base station.

[0224] As for the terminal device in the RRC_IDLE state, optionally, in some other embodiments, the terminal device can monitor the paging initiated by the core network device and the paging initiated by the first base station based on the first configuration information.

[0225] The above embodiments describe possible implementations of how to optimize CN paging performance (including shortening CN paging latency and reducing the number of CN paging failures). This application also provides another possible implementation of how to optimize CN paging performance, which is described in detail in the following embodiments.

[0226] The present application further provides an information processing method. FIG7 is a fifth flowchart of the information processing method provided in the present application. As shown in FIG7 , the method includes the following steps 701 and 702:

[0227] Step 701: The first base station sends third configuration information to the terminal device;

[0228] In step 702, the first base station sends the third configuration information to the core network device; wherein the third configuration information is used to configure the enabling or disabling of the third LP-WUS function; and the monitoring of paging by the third LP-WUS function is based on LP-WUS.

[0229] It can be understood that in an embodiment of the present application, the first base station notifies the core network device of the third configuration information configured for the terminal device; in this way, the terminal device, the first base station and the core network device have a consistent understanding of the enable or disable status of the LP-WUS function of the terminal device, thereby overcoming the CN paging problem caused by the inconsistent understanding of the enable or disable status of the LP-WUS function of the terminal device, which is beneficial to shortening the CN paging delay or reducing the number of CN paging failures.

[0230] The following describes further optional implementations and related terms of each of the above steps.

[0231] In step 701, the first base station sends third configuration information to the terminal device.

[0232] In the embodiments of the present application, the message type carrying the third configuration information is not limited and can be various. Optionally, in some embodiments, the first base station can send a third signaling to the terminal device; the third signaling is dedicated signaling for the terminal device, and the third signaling carries the third configuration information.

[0233] In the embodiment of the present application, there is no limitation on the third signaling, and it can be any dedicated signaling of the terminal device. For example, in some embodiments, the third signaling is an RRC connection release message.

[0234] Exemplarily, in some embodiments, the RRC connection release message is used to indicate entry into the RRC_INACTIVE state; or, the RRC connection release message is used to indicate entry into the RRC_IDLE state.

[0235] That is to say, the third configuration information can be configured when the first base station releases the terminal device to the RRC_IDLE state or the RRC_INACTIVE state, or the third configuration information can only be configured when the first base station releases the terminal device to the RRC_INACTIVE state.

[0236] In step 702, the first base station sends the third configuration information to the core network device. The third configuration information is used to configure the enabling or disabling of a third LP-WUS function. The third LP-WUS function monitors paging based on the LP-WUS. The monitoring of paging does not distinguish between CN paging and RAN paging. The monitoring of paging includes monitoring of CN paging and RAN paging. That is, the monitoring strategies of CN paging and RAN paging are the same, and both monitor paging based on the third configuration information.

[0237] In the embodiment of the present application, for the solution in which the first base station sends the third configuration information to the core network device, there is no limitation on the type of message that carries the third configuration information, and the message can be of various types. In short, the first base station can notify the core network device of the third configuration information through a communication interface (e.g., an NG interface) with the core network device.

[0238] Exemplarily, in some embodiments, the third configuration information is carried in an NG message. In one possible implementation, the first base station may implement step 702 as follows: the third configuration information sent by the first base station to the core network device is carried in at least one of the following messages: a UE context release request message; a UE context release complete message; an RRC inactive state transition report message; or a UE context suspend request message.

[0239] That is, the first base station may notify the core network device of the third configuration information based on at least one of the four messages. It will be appreciated that if the third configuration information is carried in multiple of the four messages, it is beneficial to increase the probability that the core network device obtains the third configuration information, thereby further optimizing the CN paging problem caused by inconsistent configuration of the third LP-WUS function of the terminal device.

[0240] Optionally, the first base station not only sends the third configuration information to the terminal device and the core network device, but also may publicize the third configuration information to one or more base stations within the paging range of the terminal device.

[0241] That is, in some embodiments, the first base station sends the third configuration information to one or more base stations; wherein the one or more base stations belong to the range of paging the terminal device; in this way, the one or more base stations within the paging range have a consistent understanding of the configuration of the third LP-WUS function of the terminal device by the first base station, thereby solving CN paging or RAN paging problems caused by inconsistency (such as paging failure or increased paging delay).

[0242] In a possible implementation, the first base station may send the third configuration information to some or all base stations in an RNA where the terminal device is located, wherein the RNA may be understood as a range in which the first base station pages the terminal device.

[0243] In the embodiment of the present application, the present application does not limit the message in which the first base station carries the third configuration information and sends it to one or more base stations within the paging range of the terminal device. In short, the first base station can notify the one or more base stations within the paging range of the terminal device of the third configuration information through a communication interface with other base stations (such as an Xn interface).

[0244] Exemplarily, in some embodiments, the third configuration information sent to the one or more base stations is carried in a paging message.

[0245] The present application further provides an information processing method. FIG8 is a sixth flowchart of the information processing method provided in the present application. As shown in FIG8 , the method includes the following steps 801 to 807:

[0246] In step 801, the core network device sends fourth configuration information to the terminal device; the fourth configuration information is used to configure the enabling or disabling of the third LP-WUS function; the monitoring of paging by the third LP-WUS function is based on LP-WUS.

[0247] In some embodiments, the method further includes: the terminal device reporting LP-WUS-related capability information to the core network device; the core network device receiving the LP-WUS-related capability information reported by the terminal device; and using the LP-WUS-related capability information to determine the fourth configuration information. The determination of the fourth configuration information can refer to the determination of the first configuration information in the above embodiment and is not further described here.

[0248] In the embodiment of the present application, the configuration method of the core network device for the third LP-WUS function is the same as the configuration of the core network device for the first LP-WUS function in the above embodiment, so it is not repeated here.

[0249] In some embodiments, the fourth configuration information includes at least third indication information, where the third indication information is used to indicate enabling or disabling of the third LP-WUS function.

[0250] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the fourth configuration information also includes LP-WUS related parameters.

[0251] Optionally, in some other embodiments, the fourth configuration information includes LP-WUS related parameters, the fourth configuration information does not include third indication information, the third indication information is used to indicate the enabling or disabling of the third LP-WUS function, and the fourth configuration information is used to indicate enabling of the third LP-WUS function.

[0252] Optionally, in some further embodiments, the fourth configuration information does not include LP-WUS related parameters and third indication information, the third indication information is used to indicate enabling or disabling of the third LP-WUS function, and the fourth configuration information is used to indicate disabling of the third LP-WUS function.

[0253] For example, in some embodiments, the LP-WUS-related parameters include LP-WUS group information, and the LP-WUS group information includes the LP-WUS group to which the terminal device belongs. It is understood that each terminal device has its own LP-WUS group. In this way, a network device (such as a first base station or a core network device) indicates via an LP-WUS signal which terminal device or devices in the LP-WUS group to wake up. Terminal devices belonging to this LP-WUS group or these LP-WUS groups all respond to the received LP-WUS signal, while terminal devices in other LP-WUS groups do not respond to the LP-WUS signal, thereby saving power consumption of the terminal devices and achieving a more energy-efficient purpose.

[0254] In step 802, the terminal device receives fourth configuration information sent by the core network device; the fourth configuration information is used to configure the enabling or disabling of the third LP-WUS function; the monitoring of paging by the third LP-WUS function is based on LP-WUS.

[0255] Step 803: The terminal device monitors paging based on the fourth configuration information.

[0256] It can be understood that, when the terminal device only receives the fourth configuration information sent by the core network device, the terminal device monitors paging (including RAN paging and CN paging) based on the fourth configuration information. In one possible implementation, before the core network device receives the third configuration information sent by the first base station, the core network device initiates paging to the terminal device based on the fourth configuration information.

[0257] In some embodiments, when the terminal device receives the fourth configuration information sent by the core network device and does not receive the third configuration information sent by the first base station, the terminal device configures the enabling or disabling of the third LP-WUS function based on the fourth configuration information.

[0258] Step 804: The first base station sends third configuration information to the terminal device;

[0259] Step 805: The first base station sends third configuration information to the core network device;

[0260] Step 806: The core network device initiates paging to the terminal device based on the third configuration information;

[0261] It can be understood that even if the core network device sends the fourth configuration information to the terminal device, if the first base station sends the third configuration information configured for the terminal device to the core network device, the core network device will subsequently initiate paging to the terminal device based on the third configuration information; in this way, the CN paging problem caused by the inconsistent configuration of the LP-WUS function of the terminal device by the first base station and the core network device can be overcome, which is beneficial to improving the quality of communication services.

[0262] Optionally, the core network device may also advertise the third configuration information to one or more base stations within the paging range of the terminal device.

[0263] That is, in some embodiments, the core network device sends the third configuration information to one or more base stations; wherein, the one or more base stations belong to the range of paging the terminal device.

[0264] In one possible implementation, the core network device may send the third configuration information to some or all base stations in the tracking area (TA) where the terminal device is located; wherein, the tracking area where the terminal device is located may also be understood as the tracking area where the terminal device is registered, and the tracking area may be used as the range for the core network device to page the terminal device.

[0265] In the embodiment of the present application, the present application does not limit the message or messages in which the core network device carries the third configuration information and sends the third configuration information to one or more base stations within the paging range of the terminal device. In short, the core network device can notify the third configuration information to one or more base stations within the paging range of the terminal device through a communication interface (such as an NG interface) with the base station.

[0266] Exemplarily, in some embodiments, the third configuration information sent to the one or more base stations carries at least one of the following messages: a paging message; an initial context establishment request message; a UE context release command; or a UE context modification request message.

[0267] Step 807, when the terminal device receives the third configuration information sent by the first base station and the fourth configuration information sent by the core network device, the terminal device configures the enabling or disabling of the third LP-WUS function based on the most recently received configuration information to monitor the paging initiated by the first base station and / or the core network device; wherein the most recently received configuration information is the third configuration information or the fourth configuration information.

[0268] It can be understood that the reason why the configuration information most recently received by the terminal device may also be the fourth configuration information configured by the core network device is that after the first base station configures the third configuration information for the terminal device, the core network device may also change the configuration of the third LP-WUS function of the terminal device.

[0269] In other embodiments, when the terminal device receives the third configuration information sent by the first base station and the fourth configuration information sent by the core network device, the terminal device configures the enabling or disabling of the third LP-WUS function based on the third configuration information to monitor the paging initiated by the first base station and / or the core network device.

[0270] It can be understood that when the terminal device receives the third configuration information sent by the first base station and the fourth configuration information sent by the core network device, since the first base station also informs the core network device of the third configuration information sent to the terminal device, regardless of whether the terminal device configures the enabling or disabling of the third LP-WUS function based on the most recently received configuration information or the third configuration information sent by the first base station, it can avoid the CN paging problem caused by the inconsistent configuration of the LP-WUS function of the terminal device by the first base station and the core network device.

[0271] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may monitor paging based only on the third configuration information or the fourth configuration information, or may monitor paging based on the third configuration information or the fourth configuration information and other conditions. Optionally, in some embodiments, enabling the third LP-WUS function is a necessary but not sufficient condition for the terminal device to monitor LP-WUS. That is, when the third configuration information or the fourth configuration information configures the third LP-WUS function of the terminal device to enable the LP-WUS function, the terminal device may need to activate the LP-WUS function, or may not activate the LP-WUS function.

[0272] Exemplarily, in some embodiments, for the case where the third configuration information or the fourth configuration information indicates enabling the third LP-WUS function, the terminal device configures enabling or disabling of the third LP-WUS function based on the third configuration information or the fourth configuration information, including: the terminal device determines whether to enable the third LP-WUS function based on the third configuration information or the fourth configuration information, and / or whether the signal reception quality of the serving cell is greater than or equal to a threshold value and / or whether the serving cell supports the LP-WUS.

[0273] Optionally, in some embodiments, the connection state of the terminal device configured to enable or disable the third LP-WUS function may be an RRC_IDLE state or an RRC_INACTIVE state.

[0274] The following describes an exemplary application of the embodiments of the present application in a practical application scenario.

[0275] Example 1

[0276] The LP-WUS function enable / disable indication information configured for the UE by the core network (i.e., core network device) and the anchor base station (i.e., the first base station) is used to control whether the UE should decide whether to monitor the CN paging PO (including overlapping POs of CN paging and RAN paging) and RAN paging PO based on the LP-WUS reception situation.

[0277] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0278] 1. The UE reports LP-WUS-related capabilities to the core network, and then receives UE-specific LP-WUS-related configuration information (i.e., an example of first configuration information) from the core network. The LP-WUS configuration information includes one or more of the following:

[0279] -Enable / disable LP-WUS function indication information;

[0280] -LP-WUS subgrouping information;

[0281] in:

[0282] The LP-WUS function enabling / disabling indication information may also be expressed as LP-WUS function activating / deactivating indication information;

[0283] The LP-WUS function enabling / disabling indication information may be in the form of an explicit indication or an implicit indication (for example, if the core network configures LP-WUS related parameters for the UE, it is considered that the LP-WUS function of the UE is enabled; if the core network does not configure LP-WUS related parameters for the UE, it is considered that the LP-WUS function of the UE is disabled).

[0284] 2. The UE receives LP-WUS function enable / disable indication information (i.e., an example of second configuration information) for the UE from the anchor base station (i.e., an example of the first base station), and the LP-WUS function enable / disable indication information is carried in UE-specific signaling (e.g., RRC release message).

[0285] Furthermore, the LP-WUS function enabling / disabling indication information can only be configured when the anchor base station releases the UE to the RRC_INACTIVE state.

[0286] 3. For UEs in RRC non-connected state, whether to enable the LP-WUS function is determined based on the network (core network and / or anchor base station) configuration:

[0287] a) For a UE in RRC_IDLE state, the UE enables or disables the LP-WUS function according to the core network configuration.

[0288] b) For UE in RRC_INACTIVE state:

[0289] b1) If only the core network has configured the UE with an indication to enable / disable the LP-WUS function, then:

[0290] Method 1: The UE enables or disables the LP-WUS function according to the core network configuration, that is:

[0291] When the core network instructs to enable the LP-WUS function, the UE adopts the same monitoring strategy for CN paging and RAN paging, that is, whether to wake up the UE's MR to monitor paging is determined based on the LP-WUS reception status;

[0292] When the core network instructs to disable the LP-WUS function, the UE does not monitor the LP-WUS, and the UE's MR directly monitors paging (including CN paging and RAN paging) on ​​its own PO.

[0293] Method 2: The UE decides whether to enable or disable the LP-WUS function for monitoring of CN paging based on the core network configuration, and for monitoring of RAN paging, decides to enable or disable the LP-WUS function based on the first enabling or disabling LP-WUS function information, wherein the first enabling or disabling LP-WUS function information can be determined in a protocol predefined manner, or configured by the network through broadcast or UE-specific signaling.

[0294] b2) If both the core network and the anchor base station configure the UE with an indication of enabling / disabling the LP-WUS function, then: the UE decides whether to enable or disable the LP-WUS function for monitoring CN paging based on the core network configuration, and the UE decides whether to enable or disable the LP-WUS function for monitoring RAN paging based on the anchor base station configuration.

[0295] It should be noted that in Example 1, the UE distinguishes between CN paging and RAN paging not based on the source of the paging message (whether it is from the core network or from the base station), but rather based on the CN paging PO and the RAN paging PO. The PO calculated based on the (e)DRX parameter (i.e., the first cycle parameter) configured by the CN (i.e., the core network) and / or the default DRX cycle (i.e., the second cycle parameter) broadcast by the system message is the CN paging PO, and the PO calculated based on the (e)DRX cycle (i.e., the third cycle parameter) configured by the RAN (i.e., the base station) is the RAN paging PO. For overlapping POs of CN paging and RAN paging, the UE handles them in the same manner as the CN paging PO.

[0296] It should also be noted that, in the embodiments of the present application, there may be the following interpretations of “LP-WUS function enabling / disabling”:

[0297] 1. Enabling the LP-WUS function means that the UE monitors the LP-WUS, and disabling the LP-WUS function means that the UE does not monitor the LP-WUS.

[0298] 2. Enabling the LP-WUS function is a necessary but not sufficient condition for the UE to monitor the LP-WUS. On the premise of enabling the LP-WUS function, the UE needs to further combine the LP-WUS entry / exit criteria of the current cell and monitor the LP-WUS only when the LP-WUS entry conditions are met. Otherwise, the UE does not monitor the LP-WUS.

[0299] In addition, another prerequisite for the UE to monitor LP-WUS in a cell is that the cell supports LP-WUS.

[0300] Example 2

[0301] When the anchor base station configures the enable / disable LP-WUS function indication information for the UE, the anchor base station informs the core network of the configured enable / disable LP-WUS function indication information, and the UE decides whether to enable / disable the LP-WUS function based on the latest enable / disable LP-WUS function indication received or from the anchor base station.

[0302] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0303] 1. The UE reports LP-WUS-related capabilities to the core network, and then receives UE-specific LP-WUS-related configuration information (i.e., an example of the fourth configuration information) from the core network, including LP-WUS function enable / disable indication information indicated explicitly or implicitly, which is the same as step 1 of embodiment 1.

[0304] 2. The UE receives LP-WUS function enabling / disabling indication information for the UE from the anchor base station (i.e., an example of the third configuration information), where the LP-WUS function enabling / disabling indication information is carried in UE-specific signaling (such as an RRC release message).

[0305] Furthermore, the LP-WUS function enabling / disabling indication information can be configured when the anchor base station releases the UE to the RRC_IDLE state or the RRC_INACTIVE state, or the LP-WUS function enabling / disabling indication information can only be configured when the anchor base station releases the UE to the RRC_INACTIVE state.

[0306] 3. The anchor base station notifies the core network of the LP-WUS function enable / disable indication information configured for the UE (so that the UE, the anchor base station and the core network have the same understanding of the LP-WUS function enable / disable status of the UE).

[0307] 4. For UEs in RRC non-connected state, whether to enable the LP-WUS function is determined based on the network (core network and / or anchor base station) configuration:

[0308] a) If only the core network configures the UE with an indication to enable / disable the LP-WUS function, the UE enables or disables the LP-WUS function according to the core network configuration;

[0309] b) If both the core network and the anchor base station send an indication to the UE to enable / disable the LP-WUS function, then:

[0310] Method 1: The UE determines whether to enable LP-WUS according to the most recently received LP-WUS function enabling or disabling indication, where the most recently received LP-WUS function enabling or disabling indication is from the core network or the anchor base station.

[0311] Method 2: The UE decides whether to enable LP-WUS based on the LP-WUS function enable or disable indication configured by the anchor base station in step 2.

[0312] Example 3

[0313] The core network and the base station exchange LP-WUS function enabling / disabling indication information for the UE.

[0314] Specifically include:

[0315] 1. The core network transmits the LP-WUS function enable / disable indication information configured for a certain UE to the base station through the NG interface, that is, the UE's LP-WUS function enable / disable indication information is introduced into the NG message between the core network and the base station. The UE's LP-WUS function enable / disable indication information can be carried in the following messages (but not limited to these messages):

[0316] -Paging message PAGING;

[0318] -UE CONTEXT RELEASE COMMAND;

[0319] -UE CONTEXT MODIFICATION REQUEST message, for example, carried in the Core Network Assistance Information IE.

[0320] 2. (Applicable only to Example 2) The base station transmits the LP-WUS function enable / disable indication information configured by the base station for a certain UE to the core network through the NG interface, that is, the UE's LP-WUS function enable / disable indication information is introduced into the NG message between the base station and the core network. The UE's LP-WUS function enable / disable indication information can be carried in the following messages (but not limited to these messages):

[0321] -UE CONTEXT RELEASE REQUEST;

[0322] -UE CONTEXT RELEASE COMPLETE message;

[0323] -RRC INACTIVE TRANSITION REPORT;

[0324] -UE context suspend request message UE CONTEXT SUSPEND REQUEST.

[0325] Example 4

[0326] The base stations exchange LP-WUS function enabling / disabling indication information for the UE.

[0327] Specifically include:

The anchor base station transmits the LP-WUS function enable / disable indication information configured for a certain UE to the non-anchor base station through the Xn interface, that is, the UE's LP-WUS function enable / disable indication information is introduced in the Xn message between the base station and the base station. For example, the UE's LP-WUS function enable / disable indication information can be included in the RAN PAGING message.

[0329] It should be noted that the LP-WUS function enabling / disabling indication information mentioned in this application is applicable to use when the UE is in the RRC non-connected state (including RRC_IDLE state and RRC_INACTIVE state).

Using this method, when both the core network and the base station configure the UE with enable / disable LP-WUS indication information, the UE, the base station, and the core network reach a consistent understanding of the UE's monitoring paging behavior, thereby effectively avoiding unnecessary waste of system resources and paging delays, or even paging failures, caused by their inconsistent understanding of the UE's monitoring paging behavior.
