[0048] First, the relevant technologies involved in the embodiments of this application are introduced:

[0049] Terminal energy saving based on wake-up receiver:

[0050] In order to further save power in terminal devices, the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 18 (R18) standard considers introducing a wake-up receiver to receive wake-up signals. The wake-up receiver is a deeper sleep mode with extremely low cost, extremely low complexity and extremely low power consumption. It mainly receives the wake-up signal through an envelope detection-based method. In other methods, the use of similar traditional receiver methods is not ruled out. In short, the power consumption level of the wake-up receiver is several orders of magnitude lower than that of the traditional sleep mode. Generally speaking, the power consumption of traditional receivers is greater than 100 milliwatts, while the power consumption of low-power receivers can be less than 1 milliwatt. Therefore, the wake-up signal received by the wake-up receiver is different from the modulation method, waveform, etc. of the signal carried by the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) defined in the existing 3GPP New Radio (NR) standard. The wake-up signal can be an envelope signal modulated by amplitude shift keying (ASK) of the carrier signal. The demodulation of the envelope signal is primarily accomplished by driving a low-power circuit using energy provided by the wireless RF signal, making it passive. The wake-up receiver can also be powered by the terminal device. Regardless of the power supply method, the wake-up receiver significantly reduces power consumption compared to traditional receivers. The wake-up receiver can be integrated with the terminal device as an additional module to the terminal device's receiver, or it can function independently as a wake-up module for the terminal device.

[0051] For example, as shown in FIG1 , a terminal device 110 includes a main receiver 11 and a wake-up receiver 12. The power consumption of the main receiver 11 is greater than that of the wake-up receiver 12. The wake-up receiver 12 receives a wake-up signal and, when the terminal device 110 needs to turn on the main receiver 11, instructs the terminal device 110 to do so through the wake-up signal. Otherwise, the main receiver 11 can remain in a dormant state.

[0052] The WUR can receive a wake-up signal and be activated by the wake-up signal at any time. The wake-up signal is mainly an envelope signal that performs ASK modulation on the carrier signal. For example, the WUS signal used in 802.11 technology uses on-off keying (OOK) modulation. The principle of OOK modulation is to modulate the amplitude of the carrier signal to a non-zero value (1) and a zero value (0), corresponding to On and Off, respectively, to represent the information bit. OOK is also known as binary amplitude keying (2-ASK). For example, bit 1 is modulated to On and bit 0 is modulated to Off.

[0053] RRM measurement:

[0054] For wireless mobile communication systems, accurate measurement of cell quality and beam quality is fundamental to effective radio resource management and mobility management. For 5G NR, two main types of reference signals are currently considered for measurement: the Synchronization Signal and Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) Block (SSB) and the Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS).

[0055] SSB Measurement Timing Configuration (SMTC) is the time domain resource configuration information for performing RRM measurements based on SSB. It is also an important concept newly introduced in 5G NR measurement configuration. It is mainly used to configure a set of measurement time windows for performing RRM measurements based on SSB. The size, position, period and other parameters of the measurement time window can be adjusted by configuring parameters. For example, as shown in Figure 2, SSB is transmitted periodically, and at least one SSB burst set is transmitted in each SSB transmission period, and each SSB burst set includes at least two SSB bursts. The SSB is measured based on the SMTC window, and each SMTC window includes at least one SSB burst set. The SMTC window is configured according to the period.

[0056] It should be noted that SMTC is configured separately for each frequency point. When the terminal device performs RRM measurement, each measurement frequency point has a set of SMTC configurations to indicate the available measurement window information on the frequency point. However, this restriction is gradually being relaxed during the protocol discussion. In the Release 15 (R15) stage, in order to match the different synchronization signal block periods of different cells, two sets of SMTC parameters are allowed to be configured for connected state same-frequency measurement for performing RRM measurement. For example, in addition to the basic SMTC configuration, a more dense measurement window can be configured for use by the serving cell and the cells indicated in the specific cell list. In the subsequent Release 16 (R16) stage, the idle state measurement also expanded the maximum number of SMTC configurations on each frequency point to two, in order to further meet the flexibility of network operations.

[0057] In addition, high-level signaling can indicate the configuration information of the reference signal used to perform RRM measurements through the reference signal configuration (ReferenceSignalConfig) parameter. For RRM measurements performed based on SSB, the SSB to be measured indication (ssb-ToMeasure) uses a bitmap to indicate the position information of the actual transmitted SSB in the SSB burst set. The terminal device can clearly know which SSB candidate positions actually sent SSBs and which SSB candidate positions did not send SSBs through the SSB to be measured indication. The terminal device does not need to perform RRM measurements at the position where the SSB is not sent, thereby achieving energy saving of the terminal device.

[0058] For CSI-RS-based measurements, the base station can configure one or more CSI-RS resources through higher-layer signaling for the terminal device to perform RRM measurements. First, based on the cell, higher-layer signaling can provide cell-level CSI-RS configuration parameters, such as the cell identifier, cell measurement bandwidth, and resource density. Furthermore, since each cell can be configured with multiple CSI-RS resources, further parameter configuration also provides configuration information for each CSI-RS resource level, such as the specific CSI-RS index, the time and frequency domain location information occupied by the CSI-RS resource, and the sequence generation method.

[0059] RRM measurement relaxation mechanism:

[0060] Terminal devices in a non-connected state need to perform RRM measurements on the serving cell and other neighboring cells based on the configuration of the network equipment to support mobility operations, such as cell reselection. In the NR R15 standard, for the sake of terminal energy saving, when the channel quality of the terminal in the serving cell is good, the terminal may not start RRM measurements for the same frequency point and the same or lower priority frequency points, and at the same time, the measurement interval for high-priority frequency points can be increased. Specifically:

[0061] When the Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) of the terminal device on the serving cell is higher than SIntraSearchP (a higher-layer configuration threshold parameter), and the Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) of the terminal device on the serving cell is higher than SIntraSearchQ (a higher-layer configuration threshold parameter), the terminal device may not initiate RRM measurements for the same frequency point.

[0062] When the RSRP of the terminal device on the serving cell is higher than SnonIntraSearchP (a higher-layer configuration threshold parameter), and the RSRQ of the terminal device on the serving cell is higher than SnonIntraSearchQ (a higher-layer configuration threshold parameter), the terminal device may not initiate RRM measurements for low-priority and equal-priority frequencies of inter-frequency and inter-system. At the same time, the terminal device may initiate relaxed RRM measurements for high-priority frequencies of inter-frequency and inter-system.

[0063] For terminal devices that need to perform RRM measurements, it is necessary to introduce a set of RRM measurement relaxation mechanisms to further meet the power saving needs of terminal devices.

[0064] The NR Release 16 standard introduces two relaxed measurement criteria for RRM measurements of non-connected terminal devices: the "terminal not at the cell edge" criterion and the "low mobility" criterion. Both criteria are based on the terminal's measurement results in the serving cell. The following describes these two criteria.

[0065] "Terminal is not located at the cell edge" criterion:

[0066] For this criterion, the network device will configure an RSRP threshold and may also configure an RSRQ threshold. When the RSRP of the terminal device on the serving cell is greater than the RSRP threshold, and / or the RSRQ of the terminal device on the serving cell is greater than the RSRQ threshold, the terminal device is considered to meet the "terminal is not located at the cell edge" criterion.

[0067] The RSRP threshold configured by the network for the "terminal is not at the cell edge" criterion must be smaller than SIntraSearchP and SnonIntraSearchP. If the network also configures the RSRQ threshold for the "terminal is not at the cell edge" criterion, the RSRQ threshold used for the "terminal is not at the cell edge" criterion must be smaller than SIntraSearchQ and SnonIntraSearchQ.

[0068] "Low Mobility" Criteria:

[0069] For this criterion, the network equipment will configure the RSRP change evaluation duration and RSRP change value threshold. When the RSRP change of the terminal device on the serving cell within the RSRP change evaluation duration is less than the RSRP change value threshold, the terminal device is considered to meet the "low mobility" criterion.

[0070] It should be noted that the Release 17 (R17) standard further enhances the "low mobility" criterion introduced in R16. The main changes are the introduction of a second RSRP change value threshold and the evaluation duration of the second RSRP change to support further relaxation of measurements for low mobility scenarios.

[0071] For RRM measurements at frequencies of equal priority or lower priority, when the terminal device meets the "terminal is not at the cell edge" criterion and / or the "low mobility" criterion, the terminal device uses a longer measurement interval when performing RRM measurements.

[0072] RRM measurement requirements in connected state:

[0073] It includes intra-frequency measurement and inter-frequency measurement. When performing RRM measurement without measurement gap (without MG), the SMTC period is mainly considered; when performing RRM measurement within the measurement gap (with MG), the SMTC and the Measurement Gap Repetition Period (MGRP) need to be considered.

[0074] The relevant protocols use the following rules to determine whether an MG is required for measurement:

[0075] Intra-frequency SSB:

[0076] When the terminal device indicates 'no-gap' via the intraFreq-needForGap flag, or the SSB is within the terminal device's currently active bandwidth part (BWP), or the current downlink BWP is the initial downlink BWP, the terminal device is capable of performing intra-frequency SSB measurements without using a measurement gap. Furthermore, the relationship between the SMTC and the MG can be used to determine whether the actual measurement is within the MG.

[0077] For the measurement object (MO) of the same-frequency SSB that does not require an MG:

[0078] If the SMTC to which it is associated does not coincide with the MG occasion at all, it is not in the MG;

[0079] When the associated SMTC partially overlaps with the MG occasion, it is not in the MG;

[0080] When the associated SMTC completely coincides with the MG occasion, it is within the MG.

[0081] For MOs that use SSB on the same frequency and may require an MG, they can only be located within the MG (the relationship between the SMTC and the MG is no longer considered).

[0082] ·Inter-frequency SSB:

[0083] When the terminal device supports the interFrequencyMeas-Nogap-r16 capability, the network device indicates interFrequencyConfig-NoGap-r16, and the inter-frequency SSB is within the active BWP, the terminal device has the ability to perform inter-frequency SSB measurements without using a measurement gap. Further, based on the relationship between the SMTC and the MG, it can be determined whether the actual measurement is within the MG.

[0084] For MO with different frequency SSB and no MG required:

[0085] If the SMTC associated with it does not overlap with the MG occasion and the above interFrequencyMeas-NoGap-r16 and interFrequencyConfig-NoGap-r16 conditions are met, it is not in the MG.

[0086] When the associated SMTC partially overlaps with the MG occasion and the above-mentioned interFrequencyMeas-NoGap-r16 and interFrequencyConfig-NoGap-r16 conditions are met, the terminal device supporting Carrier Aggregation (CA) capability is not in the MG;

[0087] When the associated SMTC completely coincides with the MG occasion, it is within the MG;

[0088] When the associated SMTC partially overlaps with the MG occasion, for the terminal device that does not support CA capability, it is within the MG.

[0089] For hetero-frequency SSB and MO that may require MG, it can only be in MG.

[0129] To sum up, the method provided in this embodiment performs at least one of cell synchronization and measurement evaluation in RRM measurement through the first receiver of the terminal device, so that the terminal device can use the receiver with lower energy consumption to perform RRM measurement, avoiding the terminal device from waking up the second receiver with higher power consumption through the first receiver during the process of performing RRM measurement, thereby reducing the power consumption of the terminal device; and, by performing cell synchronization and measurement evaluation respectively through the first receiver, it is possible to clarify on which signal the first receiver performs cell synchronization and on which signal the measurement evaluation is performed, thereby avoiding confusion when the first receiver performs RRM measurement.

[0130] For configuration method 1:

[0131] In a further embodiment based on the embodiment shown in FIG5 , FIG6 shows a flow chart of an RRM measurement method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The above step 210 can be replaced by the following sub-steps:

[0132] Step 211: Receive a wake-up signal configuration.

[0133] In some embodiments, the wake-up signal configuration is used to configure the time-frequency resources for the first receiver to monitor for the wake-up signal. In some embodiments, the wake-up signal configuration includes the first signal. Alternatively, it can be understood that the wake-up signal configuration is used to configure the time-frequency resources for the first receiver to monitor for the first signal, and the time-frequency resources for monitoring the first signal are at least one of the time-frequency resources for monitoring the wake-up signal. The first receiver monitors the first signal on the at least one time-frequency resource used to monitor for the wake-up signal.

[0135] In some embodiments, the terminal device monitors the wake-up signal in units of each wake-up signal listening opportunity, or it can be understood that the terminal device monitors the wake-up signal in units of each wake-up signal burst listening opportunity. In some embodiments, the terminal device monitors the wake-up signal in units of each wake-up signal burst set listening opportunity, and each wake-up signal burst set includes at least one wake-up signal burst. The wake-up signal burst can refer to an SSB burst.

[0136] In some embodiments, the wake-up signal is periodic. In some embodiments, the wake-up signal is aperiodic.

[0137] In some embodiments, the wake-up signal configuration is used to configure time-frequency resources for bursts of aperiodic wake-up signals, where each or at least one burst of the wake-up signal includes at least one first signal. The at least one first signal is periodic, or the at least one first signal is aperiodic.

[0138] In some embodiments, the wake-up signal configuration is used to configure time-frequency resources for periodic wake-up signal bursts, where each or at least one wake-up signal burst includes at least one first signal. The at least one first signal is periodic, or the at least one first signal is aperiodic.

[0139] In some embodiments, the above step 220 can be replaced by the following sub-steps:

[0140] Step 221: In a case where the wake-up signal configuration includes a first signal, perform RRM measurement on the target cell based on the first signal through a first receiver.

[0141] In some embodiments, the first signal is used to perform cell synchronization and measurement evaluation.

[0142] Optionally, the signal used for performing cell synchronization and the signal used for performing measurement and evaluation are two different signals. For example, the signal used for performing cell synchronization is the first sub-signal in the first signal, and the signal used for performing measurement and evaluation is the second sub-signal in the first signal. Different sub-signals are used to implement different functions.

[0143] Optionally, the signal used to perform cell synchronization and the signal used to perform measurement evaluation are the same signal. For example, LP-SS is used for both cell synchronization and measurement evaluation. In other words, one signal can perform multiple functions.

[0144] In some embodiments, the first signal is a signal having a first waveform, or the first signal is a signal having a second waveform. The first waveform is obtained based on a multi-carrier modulation scheme, and the second waveform is obtained based on a single-carrier modulation scheme. Single-carrier refers to a modulation technique that uses only one carrier within a fixed frequency band, such as 2-ASK. Multi-carrier refers to a modulation technique that uses multiple carriers within a fixed frequency band, such as OFDM.

[0145] In some embodiments, the first signal is obtained based on a multi-carrier modulation scheme, or the first signal is obtained based on a single-carrier modulation scheme, wherein the single-carrier modulation scheme includes at least one of single-carrier amplitude modulation, single-carrier frequency modulation, and single-carrier phase modulation.

[0146] Optionally, the first signal is a signal of a first waveform modulated based on a multi-carrier modulation method, such as SSB.

[0147] Optionally, the first signal is a signal of a second waveform obtained by modulation based on a single carrier modulation method, such as LP-SS.

[0148] In some embodiments, performing RRM measurements on a target cell based on the first signal by a first receiver includes performing at least one of cell synchronization and measurement evaluation on the target cell based on the first signal by the first receiver. Optionally, performing cell synchronization on the target cell based on the first signal by the first receiver. Optionally, performing measurement evaluation on the target cell based on the first signal by the first receiver. Optionally, performing cell synchronization and measurement evaluation on the target cell based on the first signal by the first receiver.

[0149] In some embodiments, when the target cell meets the first condition, measurement evaluation is performed on the target cell based on the first signal by the first receiver; or, when the target cell meets the second condition, cell synchronization and measurement evaluation are performed on the target cell based on the first signal by the first receiver.

[0150] In some embodiments, the target cell and the serving cell are co-frequency cells, wherein the serving cell is the cell where the terminal device is currently located, and the target cell is a neighboring cell of the serving cell.

[0151] In the case that the target cell is an intra-frequency cell, measurement and evaluation of the intra-frequency cell is performed by the first receiver based on the first signal.

[0152] In some embodiments, if the target cell and the serving cell are co-frequency cells, the terminal device generally does not need to obtain the target cell's time information, but can directly refer to the serving cell's time information. In other words, the co-frequency cell's time information is determined based on the serving cell's time information. In this case, the terminal device does not need to detect synchronization signals or perform cell synchronization.

[0153] In some embodiments, when the target cell is an intra-frequency cell and no measurement interval is required, the first receiver performs measurement evaluation on the intra-frequency cell according to a period of the first signal.

[0154] For example, as shown in FIG8 , using an LP-SS signal as an example, each LP-SS burst set is transmitted according to an LP-SS transmission period, and each LP-SS burst set includes at least one LP-SS burst. Optionally, the first receiver performs measurement and evaluation on the intra-frequency cell according to the LP-SS transmission period.

[0155] In some embodiments, when the target cell is a co-frequency cell and a measurement interval is required, the first receiver performs measurement evaluation on the co-frequency cell according to a measurement interval period, where the measurement interval overlaps with a time domain position of the at least one first signal.

[0156] As shown in FIG9 , for example, using an LP-SS signal as the first signal, the first receiver performs measurement and evaluation on the intra-frequency cell according to a measurement interval period. Each measurement interval overlaps with the time domain position of at least one LP-SS burst set, and each LP-SS burst set includes at least one LP-SS burst.

[0157] When the target cell is a co-frequency cell, the RRM measurement time for the terminal device includes the time for performing measurement evaluation on the co-frequency cell. For example, assuming that the first receiver performs measurement evaluation on the co-frequency cell according to three LP-SS transmission cycles, the RRM measurement time includes the duration corresponding to the three LP-SS transmission cycles.

[0158] In some embodiments, the target cell and the serving cell are inter-frequency cells, wherein the serving cell is the cell where the terminal device is currently located, and the target cell is a neighboring cell of the serving cell.

[0159] In a case where the target cell is an inter-frequency cell and the inter-frequency cell meets a target condition, measurement evaluation is performed on the inter-frequency cell based on the first signal by the first receiver.

[0160] In some embodiments, the target conditions include one or more of the following:

[0161] The inter-frequency cell and the serving cell belong to the same frequency band;

[0162] The power difference between the inter-frequency cell and the serving cell is less than a preset threshold.

[0163] In some embodiments, if the inter-frequency cell meets the target conditions, the terminal device generally does not need to obtain the time information of the target cell, but can directly refer to the time information of the serving cell. In other words, the time information of the inter-frequency cell is determined based on the time information of the serving cell. In this case, the terminal device does not need to detect synchronization signals or perform cell synchronization.

[0164] Optionally, when the inter-frequency cell and the serving cell belong to the same frequency band, the time information of the inter-frequency cell is determined based on the time information of the serving cell.

[0165] Optionally, when the power difference between the inter-frequency cell and the serving cell is less than a preset threshold, the time information of the inter-frequency cell is determined based on the time information of the serving cell. Optionally, the preset threshold is 6 dB, and when the power difference between the inter-frequency cell and the serving cell is less than 6 dB, the time information of the inter-frequency cell is determined based on the time information of the serving cell. Optionally, the preset threshold is 9 dB, and when the power difference between the inter-frequency cell and the serving cell is less than 9 dB, the time information of the inter-frequency cell is determined based on the time information of the serving cell.

[0166] In some embodiments, when the target cell is an inter-frequency cell, the inter-frequency cell meets the target condition, and no measurement interval is required, the first receiver performs measurement evaluation on the inter-frequency cell according to the period of the first signal.

[0167] For example, as shown in FIG8 , using an LP-SS signal as an example, each LP-SS burst set is transmitted according to an LP-SS transmission period, and each LP-SS burst set includes at least one LP-SS burst. Optionally, the first receiver performs measurement and evaluation on inter-frequency cells according to the LP-SS transmission period.

[0168] In some embodiments, when the target cell is an inter-frequency cell, the inter-frequency cell meets the target condition, and a measurement interval is required, the first receiver performs measurement evaluation on the intra-frequency cell according to a measurement interval period. The measurement interval overlaps with a time domain position of the at least one first signal.

[0169] As shown in FIG9 , for example, using an LP-SS signal as the first signal, the first receiver performs measurement and evaluation on the intra-frequency cell according to a measurement interval period. Each measurement interval overlaps with the time domain position of at least one LP-SS burst set, and each LP-SS burst set includes at least one LP-SS burst.

[0170] If the target cell is an inter-frequency cell and the inter-frequency cell meets the target conditions, the RRM measurement time for the terminal device includes the time for performing measurement evaluation on the inter-frequency cell. For example, assuming that the first receiver performs measurement evaluation on the inter-frequency cell according to three LP-SS transmission cycles, the RRM measurement time includes the duration corresponding to the three LP-SS transmission cycles.

[0171] In a case where the target cell is an inter-frequency cell and the inter-frequency cell does not meet the target condition, cell synchronization and measurement evaluation are performed on the inter-frequency cell based on the first signal by the first receiver.

[0172] In some embodiments, when an inter-frequency cell does not meet the target condition, the terminal device needs to first perform cell synchronization based on the first signal, and then perform measurement evaluation based on the first signal after cell synchronization. Cell synchronization is performed based on n first signals by a first receiver, and measurement evaluation is performed on the inter-frequency cell based on m first signals. The n first signals and the m first signals are consecutive n+m first signals, where n is a positive integer and m is a positive integer.

[0173] When the target cell is an inter-frequency cell and the inter-frequency cell does not meet the target conditions, the RRM measurement time for the terminal device to perform RRM measurement includes the time for performing cell synchronization on the inter-frequency cell and the time for measurement evaluation. Optionally, the RRM measurement time includes the time for n first signals to perform cell synchronization, and the time for m first signals to perform measurement evaluation. For example, assume that the first receiver performs cell synchronization on the inter-frequency cell according to 2 LP-SS transmission cycles; and performs measurement evaluation on the inter-frequency cell according to 3 LP-SS transmission cycles. Then the RRM measurement time includes the duration corresponding to 2 LP-SS transmission cycles + 3 LP-SS transmission cycles = 5 LP-SS transmission cycles.

[0174] In summary, the method provided in this embodiment, by receiving a wake-up signal configuration for configuring a first receiver to monitor a first signal on at least one time-frequency resource for monitoring a wake-up signal, enables a terminal device to perform RRM measurements via the first receiver based on the wake-up signal configuration. Furthermore, based on the wake-up signal configuration, cell synchronization based on the first signal and measurement evaluation based on the first signal can be clearly performed.

[0175] An embodiment of the present application also realizes the ability to simultaneously monitor the first signal on at least one time-frequency resource used to monitor the wake-up signal through a wake-up signal configuration. The terminal device can monitor the first signal while monitoring the wake-up signal, so that the terminal device can allocate energy consumption more efficiently, thereby further reducing energy consumption.

[0176] For configuration method 2:

[0177] In a further embodiment based on the embodiment shown in FIG5 , FIG10 shows a flow chart of an RRM measurement method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The above step 210 can also be replaced by the following sub-steps:

[0178] Step 212: Receive a wake-up signal configuration and a first signal configuration.

[0179] In some embodiments, the wake-up signal configuration is used to configure the time-frequency resources used by the first receiver when monitoring the wake-up signal. The first signal configuration is used to configure the time-frequency resources used by the first receiver when monitoring the first signal, and the first signal is used to perform cell synchronization and measurement evaluation. The wake-up signal configuration and the first signal configuration are two independent signal configurations.

[0180] For example, as shown in FIG11( a ), the wake-up signal configuration is used to configure the first receiver to monitor the time domain resources of the wake-up signal 10 as symbols 1 and 7. As shown in FIG11( b ), the first signal configuration is used to configure the first receiver to monitor the time domain resource of the first signal 11 as symbol 4.

[0181] In some embodiments, when the wake-up signal configuration and the first signal configuration are independent of each other, the time domain position corresponding to the wake-up signal and the time domain position corresponding to the first signal overlap, or the time domain position corresponding to the wake-up signal and the time domain position corresponding to the first signal partially overlap, or the time domain position corresponding to the wake-up signal and the time domain position corresponding to the first signal do not overlap.

[0182] In some embodiments, when the time domain position corresponding to the wake-up signal and the time domain position corresponding to the first signal overlap, or the time domain position corresponding to the wake-up signal and the time domain position corresponding to the first signal partially overlap, the terminal device needs to determine whether it can receive the wake-up signal and the first signal at the overlapping / same time domain position based on its own terminal capabilities.

[0183] In some embodiments, when the terminal device has scheduling restrictions, the wake-up signal and the first signal are received at different time domain locations. When the terminal device has scheduling restrictions, the time domain location for monitoring the wake-up signal corresponding to the wake-up signal configuration and the time domain location for monitoring the first signal corresponding to the first signal configuration are different time domain locations.

[0184] For example, as shown in (c) of FIG11 , when the terminal device has scheduling restrictions, the wake-up signal 10 is received on symbol 1 and symbol 7, and the first signal 11 is received on symbol 4. The time domain positions of the received wake-up signal 10 and the first signal 11 are not the same or do not overlap.

[0185] Optionally, the terminal device has scheduling restrictions, including at least one of the following:

[0186] The terminal device does not support receiving the wake-up signal and the first signal at the same time;

[0187] The terminal device does not support simultaneous reception of inter-frequency carrier aggregation;

[0188] The terminal device does not expect to receive the wake-up signal and the first signal at the same time.

[0189] In some embodiments, when the terminal device does not support simultaneous reception of the wake-up signal and the first signal, the wake-up signal and the first signal are received at different time domain locations.

[0190] In some embodiments, when the terminal device does not support simultaneous reception of heterogeneous carrier aggregation, the wake-up signal and the first signal are received at different time domain locations.

[0191] In some embodiments, when the terminal device does not expect to receive the wake-up signal and the first signal at the same time, the wake-up signal and the first signal are received at different time domain locations.

[0192] In some embodiments, the distance between different time domain positions is greater than or equal to the minimum switching duration for the terminal device to switch between different receiving frequency bands. For example, assuming that the minimum switching duration for the terminal device to switch between different receiving frequency bands corresponds to the duration corresponding to 2 symbols, the distance between different time domain positions is greater than or equal to the duration corresponding to 2 symbols. Exemplarily, as shown in (c) of Figure 11, on the symbol of receiving the wake-up signal 10, and within the 2 symbols before and after receiving the wake-up signal 10, the first signal 11 is not supported or expected to be received; on the symbol of receiving the first signal 11, and within the 2 symbols before and after receiving the first signal 11, the wake-up signal 10 is not supported or expected to be received.

[0193] In some embodiments, when the terminal device has no scheduling restrictions, the wake-up signal and the first signal are received at the same, overlapping, or partially overlapping time domain locations. When the terminal device has no scheduling restrictions, the time domain location for monitoring the wake-up signal corresponding to the wake-up signal configuration and the time domain location for monitoring the first signal corresponding to the first signal configuration are the same time domain location, overlapping time domain locations, or partially overlapping time domain locations.

[0194] Exemplarily, as shown in FIG12(a), the wake-up signal configuration is used to configure the time domain resources for the first receiver to monitor the wake-up signal 10 as symbols 1 to 3. As shown in FIG12(b), the first signal configuration is used to configure the time domain resources for the first receiver to monitor the first signal 11 as symbols 3 to 6. In the case where there are no scheduling restrictions on the terminal device, as shown in FIG12(c), the wake-up signal 10 and the first signal 11 can be received on the same symbol 3. Alternatively, it can be understood that at the time domain position corresponding to symbol 3, the wake-up signal 10 and the first signal 11 are repeatedly monitored / received.

[0195] Optionally, the terminal device has no scheduling restrictions, including at least one of the following:

[0196] The terminal device supports receiving the wake-up signal and the first signal at the same time;

[0197] The terminal device supports simultaneous reception of heterogeneous carrier aggregation;

[0198] The terminal device has a first capability, where the first capability is used to indicate receiving the wake-up signal and the first signal simultaneously.

[0199] In some embodiments, when the terminal device supports simultaneous reception of the wake-up signal and the first signal, the wake-up signal and the first signal are received at the same, overlapping, or partially overlapping time domain positions.

[0200] In some embodiments, when the terminal device supports simultaneous reception of heterogeneous carrier aggregation, the wake-up signal and the first signal are received at the same, overlapping, or partially overlapping time domain positions.

[0201] In some embodiments, when the terminal device has a first capability, the wake-up signal and the first signal are received at the same, overlapping, or partially overlapping time domain positions. The first capability refers to the ability of the terminal device to support simultaneous reception of the wake-up signal and the first signal.

[0202] In some embodiments, the terminal device monitors the wake-up signal in units of each wake-up signal listening opportunity, or it can be understood that the terminal device monitors the wake-up signal in units of each wake-up signal burst listening opportunity. In some embodiments, the terminal device monitors the wake-up signal in units of each wake-up signal burst set listening opportunity, and each wake-up signal burst set includes at least one wake-up signal burst. The wake-up signal burst can refer to an SSB burst. In some embodiments, the wake-up signal is periodic. In some embodiments, the wake-up signal is aperiodic.

[0203] In some embodiments, the terminal device monitors the first signal in units of each first signal listening opportunity, or it can be understood that the terminal device monitors the first signal in units of each first signal burst listening opportunity. In some embodiments, the terminal device monitors the first signal in units of each first signal burst set listening opportunity, and each first signal burst set includes at least one first signal burst. The first signal burst can refer to an SSB burst. In some embodiments, the first signal is periodic. In some embodiments, the first signal is non-periodic.

[0204] In some embodiments, the wake-up signal configuration is used to configure the time-frequency resources of the non-periodic wake-up signal, and the first signal configuration is used to configure the time-frequency resources of the non-periodic first signal.

[0205] In some embodiments, the wake-up signal configuration is used to configure the time-frequency resources of the non-periodic wake-up signal, and the first signal configuration is used to configure the time-frequency resources of the periodic first signal.

[0206] In some embodiments, the wake-up signal configuration is used to configure time-frequency resources of a periodic wake-up signal, and the first signal configuration is used to configure time-frequency resources of a periodic first signal.

[0207] In some embodiments, the wake-up signal configuration is used to configure the time-frequency resources of a periodic wake-up signal, and the first signal configuration is used to configure the time-frequency resources of a non-periodic first signal.

[0208] In some embodiments, the above step 220 may also be replaced by the following sub-steps:

[0209] Step 222: When the wake-up signal configuration and the first signal configuration are independent of each other, perform cell synchronization and measurement evaluation based on the first signal by the first receiver.

[0210] In some embodiments, the first signal is used to perform cell synchronization and measurement evaluation.

[0211] Optionally, the signal used for performing cell synchronization and the signal used for performing measurement and evaluation are two different signals. For example, the signal used for performing cell synchronization is the first sub-signal in the first signal, and the signal used for performing measurement and evaluation is the second sub-signal in the first signal. Different sub-signals are used to implement different functions.

[0212] Optionally, the signal used to perform cell synchronization and the signal used to perform measurement evaluation are the same signal. For example, LP-SS is used for both cell synchronization and measurement evaluation. In other words, one signal can perform multiple functions.

[0213] In some embodiments, the first signal is a signal having a first waveform, or the first signal is a signal having a second waveform. The first waveform is obtained based on a multi-carrier modulation scheme, and the second waveform is obtained based on a single-carrier modulation scheme. Single-carrier refers to a modulation technique that uses only one carrier within a fixed frequency band, such as 2-ASK. Multi-carrier refers to a modulation technique that uses multiple carriers within a fixed frequency band, such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM).

[0214] In some embodiments, the first signal is obtained based on a multi-carrier modulation scheme, or the first signal is obtained based on a single-carrier modulation scheme, wherein the single-carrier modulation scheme includes at least one of single-carrier amplitude modulation, single-carrier frequency modulation, and single-carrier phase modulation.

[0215] Optionally, the first signal is a signal of a first waveform modulated based on a multi-carrier modulation method, such as SSB.

[0216] Optionally, the first signal is a signal of a second waveform obtained by modulation based on a single carrier modulation method, such as LP-SS.

[0217] In some embodiments, when the wake-up signal configuration and the first signal configuration are independent of each other, the RRM measurement time during which the terminal device performs the RRM measurement includes the time during which the first receiver performs the RRM measurement based on the first signal. Optionally, when a measurement interval is not required, the RRM measurement time includes the time during which the first receiver performs the RRM measurement according to a period of the first signal. Optionally, when a measurement interval is required, the RRM measurement time includes the time during which the first receiver performs the RRM measurement according to a period of the measurement interval, where the measurement interval overlaps with a time domain position of at least one first signal.

[0218] In summary, the method provided in this embodiment enables the terminal device to perform RRM measurements using the first receiver based on the first signal configuration by separately receiving the wake-up signal configuration and the first signal configuration. Furthermore, based on the first signal configuration, it is possible to clearly perform cell synchronization based on the first signal and perform measurement evaluation based on the first signal.

[0219] The embodiment of the present application also implements different signal configurations for configuring signals that implement different functions through two independent signal configurations, thereby enabling the terminal device to complete independent tasks based on independent signals, such as implementing a wake-up function based on a wake-up signal configured with a wake-up signal, and performing RRM measurements based on a first signal configured with a first signal, thereby avoiding confusion between different signals. In addition, the independent wake-up signal configuration and the first signal configuration can also make the configuration resources more flexible to allocate. For example, when the wake-up signal configuration is configured for each terminal device, the first signal configuration that is independent of the wake-up signal configuration can be for at least two terminal devices or at least one terminal device group, thereby enabling the first receiver of the terminal device to be instructed to complete different tasks through flexible signal configuration.

[0220] For configuration method three:

[0221] In a further embodiment based on the embodiment shown in FIG5 , FIG13 shows a flow chart of an RRM measurement method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The above step 210 can also be replaced by the following sub-steps:

[0222] Step 213: Receive the wake-up signal configuration and the third signal configuration.

[0223] In some embodiments, the wake-up signal configuration is used to configure the time-frequency resources used by the first receiver to monitor for the wake-up signal. In some embodiments, the wake-up signal configuration includes a second signal. Alternatively, it can be understood that the wake-up signal configuration is used to configure the time-frequency resources used by the first receiver to monitor for the second signal, where the time-frequency resource used to monitor for the second signal is at least one of the time-frequency resources used to monitor for the wake-up signal. The first receiver monitors for the second signal on the at least one time-frequency resource used to monitor for the wake-up signal.

[0224] For example, as shown in FIG14(a), the wake-up signal configuration is used to configure the first receiver to monitor the time domain resources of the wake-up signal 10 as symbols 2, 4, and 6. As shown in FIG14(b), the wake-up signal configuration further configures the first receiver to monitor the time domain resources of the second signal 12 as symbols 4 and 6.

[0225] In some embodiments, the second signal is used to perform cell synchronization. Optionally, the second signal is a Tracking Referece Signal (TRS). It should be understood that the second signal here is a signal used only to perform cell synchronization, or can be understood as a sub-signal of the first signal used to perform cell synchronization. In some embodiments, TRS is an aperiodic signal used to perform cell synchronization. Optionally, the second signal is an aperiodic TRS (A-TRS).

[0226] In some embodiments, the second signal is a signal having a first waveform, or the second signal is a signal having a second waveform. The first waveform is obtained based on a multi-carrier modulation scheme, and the second waveform is obtained based on a single-carrier modulation scheme. Single-carrier refers to a modulation technique that uses only one carrier within a fixed frequency band, such as 2-ASK. Multi-carrier refers to a modulation technique that uses multiple carriers within a fixed frequency band, such as OFDM.

[0227] In some embodiments, the second signal is obtained based on a multi-carrier modulation scheme, or the second signal is obtained based on a single-carrier modulation scheme, wherein the single-carrier modulation scheme includes at least one of single-carrier amplitude modulation, single-carrier frequency modulation, and single-carrier phase modulation.

[0228] Optionally, the second signal is a signal of the first waveform obtained by modulation based on a multi-carrier modulation method, such as TRS.

[0229] Optionally, the second signal is a signal of a second waveform obtained by modulation based on a single carrier modulation mode, such as LP-TRS.

[0230] In some embodiments, the third signal configuration is used to configure the time-frequency resources used by the first receiver to monitor the third signal. The wake-up signal configuration and the third signal configuration are two independent signal configurations. For example, as shown in FIG14(c), the third signal configuration is used to configure the time-domain resource used by the first receiver to monitor the third signal 13 to be symbol 7.

[0231] In some embodiments, the third signal is used to perform measurement evaluation. Optionally, the third signal is a CSI-RS. It should be understood that the third signal here can also be a signal used to perform cell synchronization and measurement evaluation. Alternatively, it can be understood that the third signal is the first signal described above, or the third signal is a sub-signal of the first signal described above that is used to perform measurement evaluation.

[0232] In some embodiments, the third signal is a signal having a first waveform, or the third signal is a signal having a second waveform. The first waveform is obtained based on a multi-carrier modulation scheme, and the second waveform is obtained based on a single-carrier modulation scheme. Single-carrier refers to a modulation technique that uses only one carrier within a fixed frequency band, such as 2-ASK. Multi-carrier refers to a modulation technique that uses multiple carriers within a fixed frequency band, such as OFDM.

[0233] In some embodiments, the third signal is obtained based on a multi-carrier modulation scheme, or the third signal is obtained based on a single-carrier modulation scheme, wherein the single-carrier modulation scheme includes at least one of single-carrier amplitude modulation, single-carrier frequency modulation, and single-carrier phase modulation.

[0234] Optionally, the third signal is a signal of the first waveform obtained by modulation based on a multi-carrier modulation scheme, such as CSI-RS.

[0235] Optionally, the third signal is a signal of a second waveform modulated based on a single carrier modulation scheme, such as LP-CSI-RS.

[0236] In some embodiments, when the wake-up signal configuration and the third signal configuration are independent of each other, the time domain position corresponding to the wake-up signal and the time domain position corresponding to the third signal overlap, or the time domain position corresponding to the wake-up signal and the time domain position corresponding to the third signal partially overlap, or the time domain position corresponding to the wake-up signal and the time domain position corresponding to the third signal do not overlap.

[0237] In some embodiments, when the time domain position corresponding to the wake-up signal and the time domain position corresponding to the third signal overlap, or the time domain position corresponding to the wake-up signal and the time domain position corresponding to the third signal partially overlap, the terminal device needs to determine whether it can receive the wake-up signal and the third signal at the overlapping / same time domain position based on its own terminal capabilities.

[0238] In some embodiments, when the terminal device has scheduling restrictions, the wake-up signal and the third signal are received at different time domain positions. When the terminal device has scheduling restrictions, the time domain position for monitoring the wake-up signal corresponding to the wake-up signal configuration and the time domain position for monitoring the third signal corresponding to the third signal configuration are different time domain positions. At least one time domain position for monitoring the wake-up signal is also used to monitor the second signal. Exemplarily, as shown in (d) of Figure 14, the wake-up signal 10 and the third signal 13 are monitored at different time domain positions, and at least one symbol for monitoring the wake-up 10 is also used to monitor the second signal 12.

[0239] Optionally, the terminal device has scheduling restrictions, including at least one of the following:

[0240] The terminal device does not support receiving the wake-up signal and the third signal at the same time;

[0241] The terminal device does not support simultaneous reception of inter-frequency carrier aggregation;

[0242] The terminal device does not expect to receive the wake-up signal and the third signal at the same time.

[0243] In some embodiments, when the terminal device does not support simultaneous reception of the wake-up signal and the third signal, the wake-up signal and the third signal are received at different time domain locations.

[0244] In some embodiments, when the terminal device does not support simultaneous reception of heterogeneous carrier aggregation, the wake-up signal and the third signal are received at different time domain locations.

[0245] In some embodiments, if the terminal device does not expect to receive the wake-up signal and the third signal at the same time, the wake-up signal and the third signal are received at different time domain locations.

[0246] In some embodiments, the distance between different time domain positions is greater than or equal to a minimum switching duration for a terminal device to switch between different receiving frequency bands. For example, assuming that the minimum switching duration for a terminal device to switch between different receiving frequency bands corresponds to a duration corresponding to two symbols, the distance between different time domain positions is greater than or equal to a duration corresponding to two symbols.

[0247] In some embodiments, when the terminal device has no scheduling restrictions, the wake-up signal and the third signal are received at the same, overlapping, or partially overlapping time domain locations. When the terminal device has no scheduling restrictions, the time domain location for monitoring the wake-up signal corresponding to the wake-up signal configuration and the time domain location for monitoring the third signal corresponding to the third signal configuration are the same time domain location, overlapping time domain locations, or partially overlapping time domain locations.

[0252] In some embodiments, when the terminal device supports simultaneous reception of the wake-up signal and the third signal, the wake-up signal and the third signal are received at the same, overlapping, or partially overlapping time domain positions.

[0253] In some embodiments, when the terminal device supports simultaneous reception of heterogeneous carrier aggregation, the wake-up signal and the third signal are received at the same, overlapping, or partially overlapping time domain positions.

[0254] In some embodiments, when the terminal device has a second capability, the wake-up signal and the third signal are received at the same, overlapping, or partially overlapping time domain locations. The second capability refers to the ability of the terminal device to support simultaneous reception of the wake-up signal and the third signal.

[0255] In some embodiments, the terminal device monitors the wake-up signal in units of each wake-up signal listening opportunity, or it can be understood that the terminal device monitors the wake-up signal in units of each wake-up signal burst listening opportunity. In some embodiments, the terminal device monitors the wake-up signal in units of each wake-up signal burst set listening opportunity, and each wake-up signal burst set includes at least one wake-up signal burst. The wake-up signal burst can refer to an SSB burst. In some embodiments, the wake-up signal is periodic. In some embodiments, the wake-up signal is aperiodic.

[0256] In some embodiments, the terminal device monitors the third signal in units of each third signal listening opportunity, or it can be understood that the terminal device monitors the third signal in units of each third signal burst listening opportunity. In some embodiments, the terminal device monitors the third signal in units of each third signal burst set listening opportunity, where each third signal burst set includes at least one third signal burst. The third signal burst can refer to an SSB burst. In some embodiments, the third signal is periodic. In some embodiments, the third signal is aperiodic.

[0257] In some embodiments, the wake-up signal configuration is used to configure time-frequency resources for a burst of a non-periodic wake-up signal, each or at least one burst of the wake-up signal includes at least one second signal, and the third signal configuration is used to configure time-frequency resources for the non-periodic third signal. The at least one second signal is periodic, or the at least one second signal is non-periodic.

[0258] In some embodiments, the wake-up signal configuration is used to configure time-frequency resources for a burst of a non-periodic wake-up signal, each or at least one burst of the wake-up signal includes at least one second signal, and the third signal configuration is used to configure time-frequency resources for a periodic third signal. The at least one second signal is periodic, or the at least one second signal is non-periodic.

[0259] In some embodiments, the wake-up signal configuration is used to configure time-frequency resources for bursts of periodic wake-up signals, each or at least one burst of the wake-up signal includes at least one second signal, and the third signal configuration is used to configure time-frequency resources for the periodic third signal. The at least one second signal is periodic, or the at least one second signal is aperiodic.

[0260] In some embodiments, the wake-up signal configuration is used to configure time-frequency resources for bursts of periodic wake-up signals, each or at least one burst of the wake-up signal includes at least one second signal, and the third signal configuration is used to configure time-frequency resources for a non-periodic third signal. The at least one second signal is periodic, or the at least one second signal is non-periodic.

[0261] In some embodiments, the above step 220 may also be replaced by the following sub-steps:

[0262] Step 223: When the wake-up signal configuration includes the second signal, and the wake-up signal configuration and the third signal configuration are independent of each other, perform cell synchronization based on the second signal by the first receiver, and perform measurement evaluation based on the third signal.

[0263] In some embodiments, when the wake-up signal configuration and the third signal configuration are independent of each other, cell synchronization is performed based on the second signal in the wake-up signal configuration, and measurement evaluation is performed based on the third signal in the third signal configuration. For example, cell synchronization is performed by the first receiver based on the second signal within x wake-up periods, and measurement evaluation is performed based on y third signals. Wherein, the wake-up period is the period of the wake-up signal, the value of x is a positive integer, and the value of y is a positive integer.

[0264] In some embodiments, the value of x is determined based on the number of second signals in each wake-up period. For example, if at least two second signals are required to complete cell synchronization, assuming the number of second signals in each wake-up period is greater than or equal to two, then x = 1; assuming the number of second signals in each wake-up period is one, then x = 2.

[0265] In some embodiments, the RRM measurement time for the terminal device to perform RRM measurement includes the time for the second signal to perform cell synchronization within x wake-up cycles, and the time for y third signals to perform measurement evaluation. In some embodiments, since the second signal and the third signal are received based on two different signal configurations respectively, the second signal and the third signal may be discontinuous. Or it can be understood that the second signal for performing cell synchronization and the third signal for performing measurement evaluation are discontinuous. For example, after performing cell synchronization based on the second signal, it takes n time domain units before performing measurement evaluation based on the third signal. At this time, the RRM measurement time includes the time for the second signal to perform cell synchronization, the interval time between the second signal and the third signal, and the time for the third signal to perform measurement evaluation.

[0266] For example, as shown in FIG15 , it is assumed that a first receiver performs cell synchronization based on two second signals and performs measurement evaluation based on four third signals. The two second signals used for cell synchronization and the four third signals used for measurement evaluation are discontinuous signals. That is, measurement evaluation begins after a period of time has elapsed since cell synchronization was completed. The RRM measurement time includes the time it takes to perform cell synchronization using the two second signals, the interval between the second and third signals, and the time it takes to perform measurement evaluation using the four third signals.

[0267] In some embodiments, when a measurement interval is not required, the measurement evaluation is performed according to a period of the third signal. In some embodiments, when a measurement interval is required, the measurement evaluation is performed according to a period of the measurement interval, the measurement interval overlapping with a time domain position of at least one third signal.

[0268] To sum up, the method provided in this embodiment, by receiving the wake-up signal configuration and the third signal configuration respectively, enables the terminal device to clearly perform cell synchronization based on the second signal based on the wake-up signal configuration, and to clearly perform measurement evaluation based on the third signal based on the third signal configuration.

[0269] An embodiment of the present application also realizes the ability to simultaneously monitor a second signal on at least one time-frequency resource used to monitor the wake-up signal through a wake-up signal configuration. The terminal device can monitor the second signal while monitoring the wake-up signal, so that the terminal device can allocate energy consumption more efficiently, thereby further reducing energy consumption.

[0307] In some embodiments, the above step 220 may also be replaced by the following sub-steps:

[0308] Step 224: When the wake-up signal configuration, the second signal configuration, and the third signal configuration are independent of each other, perform cell synchronization based on the second signal by the first receiver, and perform measurement evaluation based on the third signal.

[0317] FIG16 shows a flow chart of an RRM measurement method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The method is executed by a terminal device. The method includes:

[0318] Step 420: Report terminal capabilities.

[0319] In some embodiments, the terminal capability is used to indicate whether the terminal device supports performing cell synchronization using the signal in the wake-up signal configuration. In the embodiments of the present application, the term "report" can be understood as sending.

[0320] Optionally, the terminal capability includes a first terminal capability, and the first terminal capability is used to indicate that the terminal device supports using a signal in the wake-up signal configuration to perform cell synchronization.

[0321] Optionally, the terminal capability includes a second terminal capability, which is used to indicate that the terminal device does not support the use of a signal in the wake-up signal configuration to perform cell synchronization, or the second terminal capability is used to indicate that the terminal device supports the use of a first signal determined by a first signal configuration that is independent of the wake-up signal configuration to perform cell synchronization.

[0322] Optionally, the terminal capability includes a third terminal capability, where the third terminal capability is used to indicate that the terminal device supports cell synchronization using a signal in the wake-up signal configuration, and supports cell synchronization using a first signal determined by a first signal configuration that is independent of the wake-up signal configuration. In some embodiments, the third terminal capability can also be understood to include both the first terminal capability and the second terminal capability.

[0323] In some embodiments, the signal in the wake-up signal configuration includes the first signal or the second signal.

[0324] Optionally, the wake-up signal configuration includes a first signal. Alternatively, it can be understood that the wake-up signal configuration is used to configure the time-frequency resources when the first receiver monitors the wake-up signal, and is also used to configure the first receiver to monitor the first signal on at least one time-frequency resource used to monitor the wake-up signal. Specifically, the implementation method of the wake-up signal configuration including the first signal is detailed in the above-mentioned configuration method 1.

[0325] Optionally, the wake-up signal configuration includes a second signal. Alternatively, it can be understood that the wake-up signal configuration is further used to configure the first receiver to monitor the second signal on at least one time-frequency resource used to monitor the wake-up signal. Specifically, the implementation method of the wake-up signal configuration including the second signal is detailed in the above configuration method three.

[0326] Specifically, the implementation of the first signal determined by the first signal configuration that is independent of the wake-up signal configuration is detailed in the above-mentioned configuration mode 2.

[0327] In some embodiments, when the terminal device supports performing cell synchronization using a signal in a wake-up signal configuration and supports performing cell synchronization using a first signal determined by a first signal configuration independent of the wake-up signal configuration, the RRM measurement time at which the terminal device performs RRM measurement is determined based on a measurement opportunity. The measurement opportunity is the opportunity when the terminal device performs RRM measurement.

[0328] In some embodiments, when the third terminal capability is supported, when RRM measurements are performed before receiving the wake-up signal configuration, the RRM measurement time includes a time for performing cell synchronization based on the first signal and a time for performing measurement evaluation. It should be understood that when RRM measurements are performed before receiving the wake-up signal configuration, cell synchronization and measurement evaluation are performed using a first signal determined by the first signal configuration that is independent of the wake-up signal configuration.

[0329] In some embodiments, when the third terminal capability is supported, when RRM measurements are performed after receiving a wake-up signal configuration, the RRM measurement time includes a time for performing cell synchronization based on a signal in the wake-up signal configuration, and a time for performing measurement evaluation.

[0330] Optionally, the terminal capabilities include a fourth terminal capability, which indicates whether the first receiver supports receiving a signal having a first waveform, where the first waveform is obtained based on a multi-carrier modulation scheme. Multi-carrier refers to a modulation technique that uses multiple carriers within a fixed frequency band, such as OFDM.

[0331] Optionally, the terminal capabilities include a fifth terminal capability, which indicates whether the first receiver supports receiving a signal having a second waveform, where the second waveform is obtained based on a single-carrier modulation scheme. Single-carrier refers to a modulation technique that uses only one carrier within a fixed frequency band, such as 2-ASK. Single-carrier modulation schemes include at least one of single-carrier amplitude modulation, single-carrier frequency modulation, and single-carrier phase modulation.

[0332] It is worth noting that the above step 420 is usually performed before step 210.
