Communication Method and Communication Device This application claims the priority of a Chinese patent application titled "Communication Method and Communication Device" with the application number 202311803494.2, filed with the China National Intellectual Property Administration on December 25, 2023. The entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field This application relates to the field of communications, and more particularly, to a communication method and a communication device. Background Art In order to meet the growing demand for traffic, the wireless network has been under rapid construction. As the network scale expands, the network energy consumption continues to increase. The current overall energy-saving technology system includes device-level, site-level, and network-level energy-saving. In the next-generation communication system, how to achieve on-demand adjustment of the energy consumption of network devices is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention This application provides a communication method and a communication device for reducing the energy consumption of a wireless communication system. In a first aspect, a communication method is provided. The method is implemented by a first communication device, which may be a terminal device, a component in a terminal device, or a component in an access network device.

Taking the execution entity as a terminal device as an example, the terminal device includes a first module for receiving and transmitting information and a second module for receiving and transmitting information. The method of this application may include: receiving a first measurement signal through the second module of the terminal device; when the signal quality of the first measurement signal meets a first condition, sending first auxiliary information, where the first auxiliary information is used to instruct the network device to adjust the transmission power of the second module of the network device. As an example, the first module may be a first transceiver, and the second module may be a second transceiver. As an example, the first auxiliary information for instructing the network device to adjust the transmission power of the second module of the network device may include any one of the following: the first auxiliary information is used to instruct the network device to increase the transmission power of the second module of the network device, the first auxiliary information is used to instruct the network device to reduce the transmission power of the second module of the network device, the first auxiliary information is used for the network device to increase the number of transmissions when sending signals through the second module of the network device, or the first auxiliary information is used for the network device to reduce the number of transmissions when sending signals through the second module of the network device. Based on the above solution, when the signal quality of the first measurement signal at the terminal meets the first condition, the terminal sends the first auxiliary information. In this way, the terminal can feedback its demand for the transmission power of the second module of the network device as needed, facilitating the network device to adaptively adjust the transmission power of the second module of the network device according to the demand of the terminal, thereby improving the energy consumption performance of the wireless communication system.

In combination with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, when both the first auxiliary information and the second auxiliary information are uplink wake-up signal UL WUS information, the resources carrying the first auxiliary information and the resources carrying the second auxiliary information are different. In combination with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the first threshold includes any one of a reference signal received power RSRP threshold, a reference signal received quality RSRQ threshold, a signal-to-noise ratio SNR threshold, or a signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio SINR threshold; or, the second threshold includes any one of a reference signal received power RSRP threshold, a reference signal received quality RSRQ threshold, a signal-to-noise ratio SNR threshold, or a signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio SINR threshold.

In combination with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the method further includes: receiving first indication information from a network device, where the first indication information is used to indicate the power headroom information of the network device. In combination with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the first indication information is carried in any one of a primary synchronization signal PSS, a secondary synchronization signal SSS, or a master information block MIB information. Based on the above technical solutions, the terminal can selectively instruct the network device to adjust its power, and can instruct the network device with more power headroom to perform power adjustment, making the power consumption adjustment of the network device more effective. In combination with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the method further includes: receiving second indication information from a network device, where the second indication information is used to indicate the power adjustment value of the network device. In combination with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the second indication information is carried in a paging message or downlink control information DCI. In a second aspect, a communication method is provided. This method is implemented by a second communication device, which may be a network device or a component in a network device or a component in an access network device. Among them, components in this application may include, for example, at least one of a chip, a chip system, a processor, a transceiver, a processing unit, or a transceiver unit.

Based on the above solution, the network device sends a first measurement signal to the terminal, so that the terminal can determine whether the transmission power of the second module of the current network device can meet the service requirements of the terminal. The network device receives the first auxiliary information, and the terminal can feedback its own requirements for the transmission power of the second module of the network device as needed, which is convenient for the network device to adaptively adjust the transmission power of the second module of the network device according to the requirements of the terminal, thereby improving the energy consumption performance of the wireless communication system. In combination with the second aspect, in some implementation manners of the second aspect, at least one of the power consumption, hardware composition, transmitted signal transmission power, transmitted signal waveform, or transmitted signal coverage of the first module of the network device is different from that of the second module of the network device.

Based on the above technical solutions, the network device can increase the transmission power of the second module of the network device or stop increasing the transmission power of the second module according to the requirements of the terminal. In this way, the network device can adjust the energy consumption of the second module of the network device according to the requirements of the terminal, and does not always need to transmit signals at the maximum power.

To meet the growing demand for traffic, the wireless network has been under rapid construction. As the network scale expands, the network energy consumption continues to increase, and the expenditure on electricity bills has greatly increased the costs of operators. Fundamentally, the following points are the main reasons for the increase in energy consumption: (1) In the 5G and 6G eras, with the large-scale commercialization of Active Antenna Units (AAUs), the number of antennas on the base station side has increased significantly. Compared with the 3G and 4G eras, the energy consumption of the base station has increased exponentially; (2) In the 5G and 6G eras, higher data rates and larger traffic volumes need to be supported, so there will be more transmission bandwidth, which will correspondingly lead to an increase in energy consumption on the base station side; (3) The use of millimeter waves and terahertz has led to a relatively dense site deployment. Increasing the number of sites means increasing energy consumption. Moreover, in addition to the significant increase in operators' costs due to increased energy consumption, energy conservation and emission reduction is also a social responsibility for operators and they need to meet the regulatory requirements of government departments. Therefore, in the research of both current wireless communication systems and next-generation wireless communication systems, network-side energy conservation needs to be continuously optimized and studied. In the current network, different equipment manufacturers and operators have adopted various energy-saving measures. The overall current 5G energy-saving technology system includes device-level, site-level, and network-level energy conservation. Among them, at the device level, hardware energy-saving solutions are mainly studied from the aspects of devices and hardware design; at the site level, software energy-saving solutions are mainly carried out from aspects such as symbol shutdown, channel shutdown, carrier shutdown, and deep sleep; network-level energy-saving terminals conduct intelligent energy conservation from the perspective of multi-network coordination. At the same time, in the evolution of the NR system, research on reducing network-side energy consumption has also been continuously carried out. For example, for the network energy-saving characteristics in 3GPP Rel-18, corresponding research items (study item, SI) and work items (work item, WI) have been established respectively, which will support the flexible antenna unit shutdown on the network side, flexible transmit power adjustment, and discontinuous transmission on the base station side. Considering that there are existing terminals in the existing network, mechanisms to avoid the access of existing terminals to these cells that support new energy-saving characteristics are also studied. In view of this, the embodiments of the present application provide a communication method and a communication device, enabling the network side to operate in a low-energy-consumption manner under low load, and as the load increases, the network-side energy consumption can also increase as required. The following explains the terms involved in the embodiments of the present application: 1. The first module and the second module When two different modules are configured in a terminal, the first module can be a low-power module, and the second module can be the main module. The first module is different from the second module in at least one of power consumption, hardware composition, and the signal waveform transmitted. For example, compared with the main module, the low-power module has lower complexity, lower power consumption, and lower processing capabilities (such as demodulation and calculation). The network device is also configured with the first module and the second module. The first module can be a low-power module, and the second module can be the main module. The first module is different from the second module in at least one of power consumption, signal transmission power, the signal waveform transmitted, hardware composition, or signal coverage. In the embodiments provided in this application, transmission may refer to sending or receiving. For example, the first module of the terminal transmitting a signal may include the first module of the terminal sending a signal and / or the first module of the terminal receiving a signal. For ease of understanding and description, in the following descriptions and embodiments, the signal transmitted by the first module is referred to as the first signal, and the signal transmitted by the second module is referred to as the second signal. The first signal and the second signal may represent various downlink signals or channels. As an example, the first signal and the second signal may include any one or more of the following: synchronization signal and PBCH block (SSB), physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), phase tracking reference signal (PTRS), positioning reference signal (PRS), demodulation reference signal (DMRS), downlink wake up signal (UL WUS). The first signal and the second signal may also represent various uplink signals or channels. As an example, the first signal and the second signal include any one or more of the following: DMRS, physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), sounding reference signal (SRS), uplink wake up signal (DL WUS). As another example, the first signal and the second signal may carry one or more of the following information: paging early indication (PEI), paging DCI, paging message (such as paging PDCCH and paging PDSCH). The PEI can be used to indicate whether there is a paging transmission in its associated paging occasion (PO). For another example, the second signal may represent a signal in the terminal random access process. For example, the first signal and the second signal include a random access preamble (preamble). It should be noted that since the modules for transmitting the first signal and the second signal are different, there are certain differences between the first signal and the second signal. The differences between the first signal and the second signal are described below. 1) The modulation methods of the first signal and the second signal are different. The first signal may include a signal based on chirp (Chirp) modulation, a signal based on on-off keying (OOK) modulation, or a passive reflection signal. For example, the waveform of the first signal is an OOK signal, or the waveform of the first signal is a Chirp signal. The second signal may include a signal based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation or a signal based on discrete Fourier transform spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-s-OFDM) modulation. For example, the waveform of the second signal is an OFDM waveform or a DFT-s-OFDM waveform. 2) The uses of the first signal and the second signal are different. For a network device, for example, the first signal can be used for cell discovery, idle state measurement, wake up signal (WUS) transmission, or Paging information transmission. The second signal can be used for cell access, cell synchronization, data transmission, radio link monitoring (RLM) measurement, radio resource management (RRM) measurement, or beam failure detection (BFD). For a terminal, the terminal can receive the first signal sent by the network device through the first module of the terminal, and receive the second signal sent by the network device through the second module of the terminal to complete different types of services. 3) The transmission powers of the first signal and the second signal are different. For example, the first signal is sent based on a low-power module. For a network device, the transmission power of the first signal is based on system message broadcasting, or semi-static adjustment. The transmission power of the second signal is sent according to the requirements of the terminal, that is, the power when the network device transmits the second signal supports dynamic adjustment. For another example, the second signal is sent by the main module on demand. When there is no connected user or no data transmission, it is not sent. As described above, the waveforms, transmission powers, and modules used for transmission of the first signal and the second signal are different. Therefore, for a network device, the coverage ranges of the first signal and the second signal are different. In other words, the first signal is used to ensure cell coverage, that is, for terminal devices (user equipment, UE) within the cell coverage, whether they are idle UEs, inactive UEs (the third type of UEs), or connected UEs, they can all receive the first signal sent by the base station; the second signal provides services for users with data transmission requirements and needs to consider the UE state. That is, considering connected users or inactive UEs that support small packet data transmission, the network device adjusts the transmission power to ensure the coverage of such users. In a possible implementation, the first module and the second module can be different transceivers. For example, the first module can be the first transceiver, and the second module can be the second transceiver. Or, the first module and the second module can be different components in the same transceiver to achieve the transmission of the above different types of signals. That is, the first signal can be transmitted by the first module, the second signal can be transmitted by the second module, or the first signal and the second signal can be transmitted through the same module or the same transceiver. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this. Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a signal coverage area provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 2, the coverage area of the first signal transmitted by the base station is larger than the coverage area of the second signal transmitted by the base station. Terminal #1 in cell 0 can be covered by the second signal transmitted by the base station and can therefore communicate directly with the base station. Terminal #2 in cell 1 is within the coverage area of the first signal transmitted by the base station but not within the coverage area of the second signal transmitted by the base station. Terminal #2 cannot establish a data transmission connection with the base station at this time and needs to instruct the second module of the base station to increase the transmission power. 2. Synchronization Signal and Physical Broadcast Channel Block SSB Synchronization signal (SS): The synchronization signal is used for the terminal and the network side to achieve time-frequency synchronization and the detection of the cell physical identifier (Identity, ID). It includes the primary synchronization signal (PSS) and / or the secondary synchronization signal (SSS). Among them, the PSS is used for the terminal device to perform time-frequency synchronization and detect the cell. The SSS is used to transmit the cell physical identification ID. The PSS and SSS can also be combined to achieve the above functions. Physical broadcast channel (PBCH): It is used to transmit the master system information, such as a small amount of important information, the method for obtaining other system information, etc. Synchronization signal / Physical broadcast channel (SSB): It is called the synchronization signal block, including the synchronization signal SS and / or PBCH, and is used to achieve time synchronization, the detection of the cell physical identifier (ID), the acquisition of the master system information, etc. One of the functions of the SSB is cell access, that is, the terminal device can receive the MIB information through the SSB, so as to obtain the System Information Block 1 (SIB1) associated with the SSB and access the cell. Since the SSB includes the PSS, SSS, PBCH, and Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS), it can also be used for the terminal device to perform time-frequency tracking (or time-frequency synchronization), beam management, radio resource management (RRM) measurement, radio link monitoring (RLM) measurement, channel state information (CSI) measurement, etc. The SSB contains the synchronization signal and the physical broadcast channel PBCH. Among them, the physical broadcast channel is used to carry the Master Information Block (MIB) and indicates the retrieval location of the SIB1. The SIB1 contains the system messages required for the terminal to access the network, and the SIB1 can also be called the remaining minimum system information (RMSI). The transmission period of the SSB can be indicated by the SIB. The configurable periods include: 5 ms, 10 ms, 20 ms, 40 ms, 80 ms, and 160 ms. During initial cell search, the default period of the SSB is 20 ms. As described above, for the second signal, the transmission power of the second module of its base station can be adaptively adjusted according to the requirements of the terminal. In one possible implementation, the adjustment of its transmission power can be triggered based on the first auxiliary information sent by the terminal. Next, a technical solution for the network device to adjust the transmission power of the second module is introduced. In the following embodiments, the network device is described by taking the base station as an example. Figure 3 is an interaction schematic diagram of a communication method provided by an embodiment of the present application. S301, the base station sends a first measurement signal, and the first measurement signal is sent through the second module of the base station; The first measurement signal is received through the second module of the terminal. It should be understood that the first measurement signal is sent by the second module of the base station and received by the second module of the terminal. The first measurement signal belongs to one of the second signals. As an example, the first measurement signal can be any one of the primary synchronization signal PSS, the secondary synchronization signal SSS, the synchronization signal SS, the physical broadcast channel block SSB, or the channel state information reference signal CSI-RS. S302, when the signal quality of the first measurement signal meets the first condition, the terminal sends first auxiliary information, and the first auxiliary information is used to instruct the base station to adjust the transmission power of the second module of the base station. The base station receives the first auxiliary information. As an example, the first condition may include that the signal quality of the received first measurement signal is lower than the first threshold. In other embodiments provided by the present application, the first condition may further include that the signal quality of the received first signal is higher than or equal to the second threshold. As an example, the first threshold may be any one of the reference signal receiving power threshold (Reference Signal Receiving Power, RSRP), the reference signal receiving quality threshold (Reference Signal Receiving Quality, RSRQ), the signal-to-noise ratio threshold (Signal to Noise Ratio, SNR), or the signal interference noise ratio threshold (Signal Interference Noise Ratio, SINR) of the received first measurement signal. As an example, the second threshold may be any one of the RSRP threshold, the RSRQ threshold, the SNR threshold, or the SINR threshold of the received first signal. It should be noted that the terminal sending the first auxiliary information based on the signal quality threshold is only an exemplary manner to meet the first condition, and the terminal may also send the first auxiliary information based on other possible parameters or criteria. In a possible implementation manner, the first threshold is determined according to system message broadcast, radio resource control (RRC) signaling indication, or predefined by the protocol. In a possible implementation manner, the second threshold is determined according to system message broadcast, RRC signaling indication, or predefined by the protocol. After the terminal receives the first measurement signal sent by the base station, it compares with the first threshold. If the signal quality of the received first measurement signal is higher than the first threshold, the terminal can directly communicate with the base station without continuing to execute the following method of adjusting power. When the signal quality of the first measurement signal received by the terminal is lower than the first threshold, the terminal can know that the transmission power of the second module of the current base station is insufficient to meet the service requirements of the terminal itself. Therefore, the terminal needs to send the first auxiliary information to the base station to indicate the base station to adjust the transmission power of the second module of the base station. In a possible implementation manner, when the signal quality of the first signal received by the terminal is higher than or equal to the second threshold and the signal quality of the first measurement signal received by the terminal is lower than the first threshold, the terminal can determine that the terminal is within the coverage area of the first signal of the base station, but the terminal can know that the transmission power of the second module of the current base station is insufficient to meet the service requirements of the terminal itself. Therefore, the terminal still needs to send the first auxiliary information to the base station to indicate the base station to adjust the transmission power of the second module of the base station. S303, the base station adjusts the transmission power of the second module of the base station. As an example, the base station adjusting the transmission power of the second module of the base station may include any one of increasing the transmission power of the second module, decreasing the transmission power of the second module, increasing the number of transmissions when the second module sends a signal, or decreasing the number of transmissions when the second module sends a signal. As an example, the base station may adjust the transmission power of the second module of the base station progressively. For example, the base station may set the power increase step size to N dB, and the value of N may be 1, 2, or other values, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application. For example, after the transmission power of the second module of the base station is increased by 1 dB, the base station sends the first measurement signal with the increased power to the terminal. For another example, the base station may increase the number of transmissions when the second module sends the first measurement signal and send the first measurement signal with the increased power to the terminal. Based on the above solution, when the signal quality of the first measurement signal at the terminal meets the first condition, the terminal sends the first auxiliary information. In this way, the terminal can feedback on-demand the requirement to trigger the adjustment of the transmission power of the second module of the network device by itself, facilitating the network device to dynamically and adaptively adjust the transmission power of the second module of the network device according to the requirements of the terminal, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the transmission power according to the terminal's requirements and improving the energy consumption performance of the wireless communication system. As an example, the progressive adjustment of the transmission power may include the following methods: Method 1 FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a progressive power adjustment provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 4, the abscissa represents time, and the ordinate represents the signal quality of the first measurement signal received by the terminal. When the base station increases the transmission power of the second module of the base station, if the signal quality of the first measurement signal received by the terminal is still lower than the first threshold, the terminal continues to send the first auxiliary information. When the signal quality of the first measurement signal received by the terminal is higher than or equal to the first threshold, the terminal stops sending the first auxiliary information. That is to say, once the signal quality of the first measurement signal received by the terminal is lower than the first threshold, the terminal will send the first auxiliary information to the base station. During this adjustment process, the terminal may send the first auxiliary information multiple times. In a possible implementation, the terminal may also be provided with a timer t1. When the terminal sends the first auxiliary information for the first time, the timer t1 is started. If, after the timer t1 times out, the signal quality of the first measurement signal received by the terminal is still lower than the first threshold, then continue to send the first auxiliary information. In order to better control the transmission power of the second module of the base station, in a possible implementation, the adjustment of the transmission power of the second module of the base station by the base station may also include reducing the transmission power of the second module of the base station. For example, the base station sets the transmission power reduction step of the second module of the base station to M dB, and the value of M may be 1, 2, or other values, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application. For example, after reducing by 2 dB, the first measurement signal after the power reduction is sent to the terminal. As mentioned above, when the terminal does not send the first auxiliary information, it means that the signal quality of the first measurement signal received by the terminal has been higher than or equal to the first threshold. In this case, the power of the second module of the base station when transmitting the signal may be too high, which will also result in excessive energy consumption. Therefore, when the base station does not receive the first auxiliary information, the base station sends the first measurement signal after the power reduction to the terminal based on the reduction step of M dB. The terminal continuously receives the first measurement signal after the power reduction. When the signal quality of the first measurement signal received by the terminal is lower than the first threshold again, the terminal sends the first auxiliary information again to instruct the base station to increase the transmission power of the second module of the base station. Based on the above technical solution, the transmission power of the second module of the base station can be dynamically adjusted to a state that can meet the signal quality requirements of the terminal without causing excessive energy consumption waste in the base station. The above introduces a possible implementation method of progressive power adjustment. Next, another possible implementation method of progressive power adjustment is introduced. Method 2 S304, when the signal quality of the first measurement signal is higher than or equal to the first threshold, the terminal sends second auxiliary information to indicate that the signal quality of the first measurement signal is higher than or equal to the first threshold to the base station. The base station receives the second auxiliary information and stops increasing the transmission power of the second module of the base station. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of another progressive power adjustment provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 5, after the terminal sends the first auxiliary information to indicate the base station to adjust the transmission power of the second module of the base station, the base station continuously increases the transmission power of the second module of the base station. And after the terminal device sends the first auxiliary information, it continuously monitors the signal quality of the received first measurement signal. When the signal quality of the received first measurement signal is higher than or equal to the first threshold, it sends the second auxiliary information. The second auxiliary information is used to indicate that the signal quality of the first measurement signal of the base station is higher than or equal to the first threshold. After receiving the second auxiliary information, the base station no longer increases the transmission power of the first measurement signal. In a possible implementation manner, the base station adjusting the transmission power of the second module of the base station may further include reducing the transmission power of the second module of the base station. For example, the base station sets the transmission power reduction step of the second module of the base station to M dB. After reducing by M dB, it sends the first measurement signal with the reduced power to the terminal. As described above, when the base station receives the second auxiliary information, it means that the signal quality of the first measurement signal received by the terminal is already higher than or equal to the first threshold. In this case, the power when the base station transmits the first measurement signal may be too high, which will also cause too high energy consumption. Therefore, after the base station receives the second auxiliary information, based on the reduction step of M dB, the base station sends the first measurement signal with the reduced power to the terminal. The terminal continuously receives the first measurement signal with the reduced power. When the signal quality of the first measurement signal received by the terminal is lower than the first threshold again, the terminal sends the first auxiliary information again to indicate the base station to increase the transmission power of the second module of the base station. During this adjustment process, after the terminal sends the first auxiliary information once, it no longer sends the first auxiliary information until the signal quality of the first measurement signal received by the terminal is higher than or equal to the first threshold, and then it sends the second auxiliary information. In a possible implementation manner, the base station may adopt a single power adjustment method. In the single - power adjustment mode, the terminal sends the first auxiliary information at the maximum power. After receiving the first auxiliary information, the base station estimates the path loss value based on the power of the received first auxiliary information and the maximum transmit power of the terminal predefined by the protocol. According to this path loss value, the base station can determine the transmit power of the second module of the base station after adjustment. Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of a single - power adjustment mode provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 6, after the terminal sends the first auxiliary information at the maximum power, the base station can adjust the transmit power of the second module of the base station to a level that meets the terminal service requirements at one time. That is to say, the signal quality of the first measurement signal received by the terminal after one - time adjustment is higher than or equal to the first threshold. Based on the above technical solution, the network device can increase the transmit power of the second module of the network device or stop increasing the transmit power of the second module according to the requirements of the terminal. In this way, the network device adjusts the energy consumption of the second module of the network device according to the requirements of the terminal, and does not always transmit signals at the maximum power. This enables the terminal to meet its own service requirements while the base station does not consume too much energy, thus achieving the effect of reducing energy consumption. In a possible implementation, the base station can also indicate the power margin of the base station, and this indication of the power margin can be a cell - level indication or a beam - level indication. The cell - level indication means that among the multiple beams sent by the base station in the cell, the power margin information carried by different beams is the same. The beam - level indication means that among the multiple beams sent by the base station in the cell, the power margin information carried by different beams is different. For the above two ways of indicating the power margin, the base station can determine which way to use for indicating the power margin. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this. Embodiments of the present application do not make any limitations in this regard. S301a, the base station sends the first indication information, and this first indication information is used to indicate the power margin information of the base station. The terminal receives the first indication information. As an example, this first indication information can be carried in any one of the primary synchronization signal PSS, the secondary synchronization signal SSS, or the master information block MIB information. For example, the power margin information of the base station can carry whether there is a power margin indication through the PSS sequence, the SSS sequence, or the MIB. For example, in the MIB, 1 bit is used to indicate whether there is a power margin. If there is a power margin, the terminal sends the first auxiliary information to the base station, and the first auxiliary information instructs the base station to adjust the transmit power of the second module of the base station. In other embodiments provided by the present application, the base station can further indicate the amount of power headroom. For example, through a power headroom table predefined by the protocol, through the index in the table carried in the PSS sequence, SSS sequence or MIB, that is, N bits indicate the specific power headroom. For example, the power headroom table predefined by the protocol is shown in Table 1. In the MIB, 2 bits are used to indicate the index. If the indication is 10, it means that the base station power headroom is 2 - 4 dB. At this time, the terminal sends the first auxiliary information to the base station, and the first auxiliary information instructs the base station to adjust the transmission power of the second module of the base station. Table 1 Based on the above technical solution, the terminal can selectively instruct the base station to adjust the power, and can instruct the most suitable base station to perform power adjustment, making the power consumption adjustment of the base station more effective. The first auxiliary information can be sent by the first module of the terminal or by the second module of the terminal. The second auxiliary information can be sent by the first module of the terminal or by the second module of the terminal. Correspondingly, the first auxiliary information sent by the terminal can be received by the first module of the base station or by the second module of the base station. The second auxiliary information sent by the terminal can be received by the first module of the base station or by the second module of the base station. The embodiments of the present application do not make any limitations in this regard. Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of a terminal sending the first auxiliary information provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in (a) of Figure 7, the reception quality of the first measurement signal of the terminal on cell 0, cell 1, and cell 2 is lower than the first threshold, indicating that the terminal is not within the coverage range of the main transceiver of the base station. The terminal detects that there is power headroom on cell 0 / cell 1 / cell 2. The terminal will send the first auxiliary information on the cell with the best current received signal quality, that is, cell 1, to instruct the base station to adjust the transmission power of the second module of the base station. As shown in (b) of Figure 7, the reception quality of the first measurement signal of the terminal on cell 0 and cell 1 is higher than the first threshold, indicating that the terminal is within the coverage range of the main transceivers of cell 0 and cell 1 at the same time. At this time, the terminal does not need to send the first auxiliary information and can directly select to communicate with cell 0 with the best signal quality. When the base station receives the first auxiliary information sent by the terminal, the base station will correspondingly dynamically adjust the transmission power of the main transceiver signal. As described above, the first auxiliary information and the second auxiliary information can be transmitted through different types of signals. For example, the first auxiliary information may include uplink wake-up signal UL WUS information or physical random access channel (PRACH) information. The second auxiliary information may include uplink wake-up signal UL WUS information or physical random access channel PRACH information. For example, when the first auxiliary information is uplink wake-up signal UL WUS information, the second auxiliary information may be physical random access channel PRACH information, or vice versa. For example, when both the first auxiliary information and the second auxiliary information are uplink wake-up signal UL WUS information, both the first auxiliary information and the second auxiliary information are carried by UL WUS information. The resources carrying the first auxiliary information and the second auxiliary information are different. They can be distinguished by different time-domain resources, frequency-domain resources, sequences in UL WUS, or chirp slopes. In a possible implementation, different-purpose UL WUS can also be distinguished by different explicit information carried. In the above process of gradually adjusting the power, the transmit power of the terminal when sending UL WUS can be the maximum power, or the transmit power of UL WUS determined by the terminal according to the signal quality of the first signal received. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this. The base station can support the above-mentioned progressive power adjustment method or single-power adjustment method at the same time, and the base station can send the signal to notify the terminal in an explicit or implicit manner through the first module. For example, the first module of the base station implicitly indicates by sending the SS synchronization signal sequence. The SS synchronization signals are divided into set A and set B. For the synchronization signal sequences in set A, the base station adopts the progressive power adjustment method; for the synchronization signal sequences in set B, the base station adopts the single-power adjustment method. It should be noted that the power of the terminal sending the first auxiliary information can be determined according to the power adjustment method of the base station. For example, when the terminal receives the SS synchronization signal sent by the first module of the base station and determines that the base station adopts the single-power adjustment method, the terminal can send the first auxiliary information with the maximum power. When the terminal determines that the base station adopts the progressive power adjustment method, it can determine the transmit power of the first auxiliary information according to the power intensity of the SS synchronization signal received by the terminal. In order for the terminal to obtain in a timely manner the power adjustment value of the transmit power of the second module of the base station, so that the terminal can relatively accurately estimate the path loss value, the embodiments of the present application also provide a method for indicating the power adjustment value of the transmit power of the second module of the base station. In S303a, the base station sends second indication information for indicating the power adjustment value of the base station. The terminal receives the second indication information. As an example, the second indication information may be carried in a paging message or downlink control information DCI. The following uses two methods as examples for illustration. Method 1 The transmission power adjustment value of the second module of the base station is indicated by Paging. As shown in Table 2, the first bit is used to indicate the change of the system message (system info modification). Exemplarily, if the first bit is set to 1, it indicates the modification of the broadcast control channel (BCCH) except for system message blocks such as SIB6, SIB7, and SIB8. The second bit is used to indicate the earthquake and tsunami warning system (ETWS) notification or commercial mobile alert system (CMAS) notification (Etws And Cmas Indication). Exemplarily, if the second bit is set to 1, it indicates an ETWS level 1 warning or an ETWS level 2 warning or a CMAS warning. The third bit is used to indicate Stop Paging Monitoring. This bit can only be used for operations of shared spectrum channel access and not to monitor the PDCCH during the monitoring occasion. Exemplarily, if the third bit is set to 1, it indicates that the terminal device may stop monitoring the PDCCH within this paging occasion, in accordance with the provisions of Clause 7.1 of TS 38.304
[0020] The fourth bit is used to indicate the change of the system message regarding DRX (system info modification-eDRX). Exemplarily, if the fourth bit is set to 1, it indicates the modification of the BCCH except for system message blocks such as SIB6, SIB7, and SIB8. This indication is only applicable to terminal devices using an IDLE eDRX cycle longer than the BCCH cycle. The fifth bit is used to indicate the dynamic adjustment of the base station transmission power (Tx Power Adjustment). Exemplarily, if the fifth bit is set to 1, it is used to indicate the dynamic adjustment of the transmission power. The sixth to eighth bits are reserved bits and have no practical meaning. That is, even if the terminal receives them, it will ignore these bits. Table 2 When the terminal detects that the downlink control information (DCI) scrambled by the paging radio network temporary identifier (P-RNTI) indicates that the DCI indication information in this DCI contains a short message indication, and the short message indication is a dynamic transmit power adjustment indication, there is a power adjustment indication field in the DCI scrambled by the P-RNTI. Alternatively, when the terminal detects that the DCI scrambled by the P-RNTI indicates that the DCI indication information in this DCI contains a short message indication, there is a power adjustment indication field in the DCI scrambled by the P-RNTI, and this indication field in the DCI is used to indicate the network-side power adjustment value. Alternatively, the paging message contains an indication of the network-side power adjustment value. In a possible implementation manner, the indication method is as follows: The base station predefines a power adjustment value table, and the DCI indicates the index in the table. For example, refer to Table 1. In a possible implementation manner, the indication method is as follows: The protocol predefines a power adjustment range and a step size. For example, the step size is 2 dB, and the range is -6 dB to 8 dB. It is indicated by 3 bits in the DCI, as shown in Table 3. Table 3 Method 2 Notify the base station of the dynamic transmit power adjustment through the Group DCI. In a possible implementation manner, the DCI scrambled based on the Network energy saving radio network temporary identifier (NES-RNTI) is sent to a group of terminals. This DCI contains an indication of the cell discontinuous transmission (cell DTX) and / or an indication of the cell discontinuous reception (cell DRX) configuration sent by the base station to each terminal, and / or an indication of the base station transmit power adjustment.
