[0194] In the related art, the terminal may be configured with a main receiver and a low-power receiver. Optionally, when performing RRM measurement, the terminal may receive a power-saving signal (such as a wake-up signal (WUS)) through the low-power receiver. At this time, the main receiver of the terminal may be in a closed / sleep / measurement relaxation state. When the power-saving signal is received through the low-power receiver, the terminal turns on the main receiver to implement RRM measurement through the main receiver. However, in the related art, it is not yet possible to implement RRM measurement through a low-power receiver. In view of this, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method, so that the information processing method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can implement RRM measurement based on a low-power receiver.

[0195] FIG2 is an interactive diagram of an information processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2 , the present disclosure embodiment relates to an information processing method, which includes:

[0196] Step S2101: The network device sends first information to the terminal.

[0197] In some embodiments, the terminal receives first information sent by the network device.

[0198] In some embodiments, the terminal may be in an idle state, or the terminal may be in an inactive state, or the terminal may be in a connected state, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0199] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate a time-frequency domain configuration of the first signal.

[0200] Optionally, the time-frequency domain configuration of the first signal may include at least one of the time-frequency domain position of the first signal and the signal period of the first signal, but is not limited thereto.

[0201] Optionally, the first signal includes a signal for awakening and / or a signal for measurement. That is, the time-frequency domain configuration of the first signal may include at least one of a time-frequency domain position of the signal for awakening, a wake-up signal period of the signal for awakening, a time-frequency domain position of the signal for measurement, and a measurement signal period of the signal for measurement.

[0202] Optionally, the signal used for waking up may include a low-power wake-up signal (Low-Power Wake-Up Signal, LP-WUS), but is not limited thereto. The signal used for waking up may also be other types of signals.

[0203] Optionally, the signal used for measurement may include at least one of a low power synchronization signal (Low Power Synchronization Signal, LP-SS), a low power wake-up signal waveform sequence (LP-WUS waveform sequence), and a secondary synchronization signal (Secondary Synchronization Signal, SSS), but is not limited to this. The signal used for measurement may also be other types of signals. For example, the signal used for measurement may also be a primary synchronization signal (Primary Synchronization Signal, PSS), a physical broadcast channel demodulation reference signal (Physical Broadcast Channel Demodulation Reference Signal, PBCH DMRS), an on-off keying modulation (On-Off Keying, OOK) signal, an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, OFDM) signal, and the like.

[0204] In some embodiments, the name of the first information is not limited, and it can be, for example, "power saving related configuration", "configuration information", etc.

[0205] In some implementation embodiments, the first information is also used by the terminal to determine the measurement configuration of the low-power receiver. For details, refer to the following step S2102 and will not be repeated here.

[0206] Step S2102: The terminal determines a measurement configuration of the low power consumption receiver based on the first information.

[0207] In some embodiments, the measurement configuration is used by the terminal to perform RRM measurements based on the low power receiver. For example, the measurement configuration may be used to determine relevant information about the RRM measurements performed based on the low power receiver.

[0208] In some embodiments, the measurement configuration may be used to determine the duration of the RRM measurement performed by the low power receiver, but is not limited thereto. The measurement configuration may also determine other information of the RRM measurement performed by the low power receiver.

[0209] In some embodiments, the measurement configuration is used to determine the synchronization process of the RRM measurement and the duration of the measurement process.

[0210] In some embodiments, the measurement configuration is used to determine the duration of the synchronization process for RRM measurements.

[0211] In some embodiments, the measurement configuration is used to determine the duration of the measurement process of the RRM measurement.

[0212] That is, the measurement configuration may be a configuration for the entire process of the RRM measurement, for example, requiring the synchronization process and the measurement process to be completed within the duration indicated by the measurement configuration. Alternatively, the measurement configuration may be a configuration for one or several processes in the RRM measurement. For example, the measurement configuration may be a configuration for the synchronization process of the RRM measurement, such as requiring the synchronization process to be completed within the duration indicated by the measurement configuration (for example, requiring the synchronization of the signal used for wake-up to be completed within the duration indicated by the measurement configuration); for another example, the measurement configuration may be a configuration for the measurement process of the RRM measurement, such as requiring the measurement process to be completed within the duration indicated by the measurement configuration (for example, requiring the acquisition of valid measurement results to be completed within the duration indicated by the measurement configuration).

[0213] In some embodiments, the name of the measurement configuration is not limited, and may be, for example, "measurement requirement", "related measurement requirement", etc.

[0214] Optionally, the RRM measurement may be used for signal measurement of a serving cell (e.g., a cell in which the terminal is currently camped), and / or the RRM measurement may be used for signal measurement of a neighboring cell. That is, the measurement configuration may be a measurement requirement for an RRM measurement process of a serving cell, and / or the measurement configuration may be a measurement requirement for an RRM measurement process of a neighboring cell.

[0215] In some embodiments, the terminal may determine the first coefficient and the first period respectively based on the first information, thereby determining the measurement configuration of the low power consumption receiver based on the first coefficient and the first period.

[0216] In some embodiments, when the first period is determined based on the first information, the first period may be determined based on the wake-up signal period and / or the measurement signal period.

[0217] Optionally, the wake-up signal period may be determined as the first period.

[0218] Alternatively, the measurement signal period may be determined as the first period.

[0219] Optionally, a minimum value between the wake-up signal period and the measurement signal period may be determined as the first period.

[0220] Optionally, a maximum value between the wake-up signal period and the measurement signal period may be determined as the first period.

[0221] That is, the first period may be the wake-up signal period, or the first period may be the measurement signal period, or the first period may be the minimum value between the wake-up signal period and the measurement signal period (that is, min(wake-up signal period, measurement signal period)), or the first period may be the maximum value between the wake-up signal period and the measurement signal period (that is, max(wake-up signal period, measurement signal period)).

[0222] In some embodiments, the first coefficient may include the number of measurement sample points that meet the measurement accuracy requirements and / or the expansion coefficient. For example, the number of measurement sample points that meet the measurement accuracy requirements may be used as the first coefficient, or the expansion coefficient may be used as the first coefficient, or the product of the number of measurement sample points that meet the measurement accuracy requirements and the expansion coefficient may be used as the first coefficient, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0223] Optionally, the number of measurement sample points that meets the measurement accuracy requirement may be the number of measurement sample points that is set and needs to be collected to meet the measurement accuracy requirement.

[0224] Optionally, the expansion factor may be pre-configured, including but not limited to that agreed upon by a protocol or pre-configured by a network device.

[0225] Optionally, the expansion coefficient may include multiple pre-configured expansion coefficients. For example, the expansion coefficient may include a first expansion coefficient and a second expansion coefficient.

[0226] The first expansion coefficient may be agreed upon by a protocol, or may be configured by a network device. Taking the case where the first expansion coefficient is configured by the network device as an example, the network device may send first configuration information to the terminal. The first configuration information may be used to configure the first expansion coefficient, so that the terminal can receive the first configuration information sent by the network device and implement the configuration of the first expansion coefficient based on the first configuration information.

[0227] Similarly, the second expansion factor may be agreed upon by a protocol, or configured by a network device. For example, if the second expansion factor is configured by the network device, the network device may send second configuration information to the terminal. The second configuration information may be used to configure the second expansion factor, so that the terminal can receive the second configuration information sent by the network device and configure the second expansion factor based on the second configuration information.

[0228] Optionally, the first expansion coefficient and the second expansion coefficient may both be any value greater than 1. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the specific values ​​of the first expansion coefficient and the second expansion coefficient.

[0229] It should be noted that the terminal may determine whether to use the first expansion coefficient or the second expansion coefficient as the expansion coefficient based on the time-frequency domain configuration and signal period of the first signal.

[0230] In some embodiments, the first period is a measurement signal period, the first period and the wake-up signal period satisfy a threshold range, and the first expansion coefficient may be determined as the first coefficient.

[0231] Optionally, the first period and the wake-up signal period satisfy a threshold range, where the first period is greater than the first threshold and the wake-up signal period is less than a second threshold. That is, when the first period is greater than the first threshold and the wake-up signal period is less than the second threshold, the first expansion coefficient is determined as the first coefficient.

[0232] The first threshold and the second threshold may both be arbitrary values, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the specific values ​​of the first threshold and the second threshold.

[0233] In some embodiments, the first period is a measurement signal period, and based on the first information, the time domain distance between the signal used for measurement and the signal used for wake-up is determined; the time domain distance is less than or equal to a third threshold, and the second expansion coefficient is determined as the first coefficient.

[0234] The signal used for measurement is located in the first period, and the signal used for awakening is located in the awakening signal period.

[0235] Optionally, the time domain distance may be determined based on an end point of a duration of a signal used for measurement and a start point of a duration of a signal used for wake-up.

[0236] Alternatively, the time domain distance may be determined based on an end point of the duration of the signal for wake-up and a start point of the duration of the signal for measurement.

[0237] Through the above embodiment, it can be determined under what circumstances the first expansion coefficient can be used as the expansion coefficient, and under what circumstances the second expansion coefficient can be used as the expansion coefficient.

[0238] At this point, the first period and the first coefficient can be determined, so that the measurement configuration can be determined based on the first coefficient and the first period, including but not limited to determining the duration of the RRM measurement performed by the low-power receiver based on the first coefficient and the first period.

[0239] In some embodiments, the product of the first coefficient and the first period may be used as the duration of the RRM measurement performed by the low-power receiver to achieve determination of the measurement configuration.

[0240] In some embodiments, if the time domain distance is greater than the third threshold, the measurement configuration determined based on the second expansion coefficient may be increased, and the increased measurement configuration may be used as the duration of the synchronization process and the measurement process of the RRM measurement.

[0241] For example, when the time domain distance is greater than the third threshold, the second expansion coefficient can be first used as the first coefficient, so as to determine the measurement configuration based on the first coefficient and the first period, and then increase the determined measurement configuration to use the increased measurement configuration as the synchronization process of the RRM measurement and the duration of the measurement process.

[0242] That is, when the time domain distance is far, you can consider re-executing the synchronization process first. At the same time, you can use a longer duration as the measurement configuration of the entire RRM measurement process, so that after the synchronization process is completed, you can continue to execute the measurement process based on the measurement configuration indicating a longer duration.

[0243] In some embodiments, the time domain distance is greater than a third threshold, and the measurement configuration determined based on the second expansion coefficient may be used as the duration of the synchronization process of the RRM measurement.

[0244] That is, when the time domain distance is far, the synchronization process can be performed based on the determined measurement configuration first, without performing the measurement process based on the determined measurement configuration.

[0245] Optionally, the third threshold value may be any value, and the embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the specific value of the third threshold value.

[0246] In some embodiments, for a low-power receiver that supports OOK signals and OFMD signals as measurement signals, the signal used for measurement may change (that is, the measurement signal sent by the network device to the terminal may change). For example, the signal used for measurement may change from LP-SS to SSS, but is not limited to this.

[0247] In some embodiments, if the signal used for measurement changes, the terminal may re-measure based on the changed signal. For example, the signal used for measurement may change from LP-SS to SSS, and the terminal may restart the measurement.

[0248] Optionally, the change in the signal used for measurement may be determined by the terminal according to an instruction of the network device, or may be determined by the terminal itself according to a signal reception condition.

[0249] In some embodiments, the network device may send second information to the terminal when the signal used for measurement changes, and the second information may indicate that the signal used for measurement has changed; the terminal may receive the second information sent by the network device, and thereby determine that the signal used for measurement has changed based on the received second information.

[0250] In some embodiments, the terminal may determine that the signal for measurement has changed based on the currently received signal for measurement and the previously received signal for measurement.

[0251] In some embodiments, the names of information, etc. are not limited to the names described in the embodiments, and terms such as "information", "message", "signal", "signaling", "report", "configuration", "indication", "instruction", "command", "channel", "parameter", "domain", "field", "symbol", "symbol", "code element", "codebook", "codeword", "codepoint", "bit", "data", "program", and "chip" can be used interchangeably.

[0257] In some embodiments, terms such as "send", "transmit", "report", "download", "transmit", "bidirectional transmission", "send and / or receive" can be used interchangeably.

[0258] In some embodiments, terms such as "certain", "preset", "preset", "setting", "indicated", "a certain", "any", and "first" can be interchangeable. "Specific A", "preset A", "preset A", "setting A", "indicated A", "a certain A", "any A", and "first A" can be interpreted as A pre-specified in a protocol, etc., or as A obtained through setting, configuration, or indication, etc., or as specific A, a certain A, any A, or first A, etc., but not limited to this.

[0259] In some embodiments, the determination or judgment can be performed by a value represented by 1 bit (0 or 1), or by a true or false value (Boolean value) represented by true or false, or by comparison of numerical values ​​(for example, comparison with a predetermined value), but is not limited thereto.

[0260] In some embodiments, "not expecting to receive" can be interpreted as not receiving on time domain resources and / or frequency domain resources, or as not performing subsequent processing on the data after receiving it; "not expecting to send" can be interpreted as not sending, or as sending but not expecting the recipient to respond to the content sent.

[0261] The information processing method involved in the embodiment of the present disclosure may include at least one of steps S2101 and S2102. For example, step S2101 may be implemented as an independent embodiment, and step S2102 may be implemented as an independent embodiment, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0262] In some embodiments, step S2101 is optional and may be omitted or replaced in different embodiments.

[0263] In some embodiments, reference may be made to other optional implementations described before or after the description corresponding to FIG. 2 .

[0264] According to the solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal can determine the measurement configuration (or related measurement requirements) of the low power receiver based on the first information (or power saving related configuration) sent by the network device.

[0265] The first information includes a configuration of a signal for awakening (such as LP-WUS) and a configuration of a signal for measurement (such as LP-SS, LP-WUS sequence, SSS, etc.).

[0266] Optionally, the signal configuration for awakening may include a time-frequency domain position of the signal for awakening and / or a period of the awakening signal.

[0267] Optionally, the signal configuration for measurement may include a time-frequency domain position of the signal and / or a measurement signal period.

[0268] The measurement configuration may be a serving cell measurement requirement and / or a neighboring cell measurement requirement, and the measurement configuration may be defined as: a first coefficient*a first period.

[0269] The first coefficient includes: the number of measurement sample points that meet the measurement accuracy requirements, the expansion coefficient, etc.

[0270] Optionally, the first period may be a wake-up signal period, a measurement signal period, max (wake-up signal period, measurement signal period), or min (wake-up signal period, measurement signal period).

[0271] Optionally, the measurement configuration may be a single requirement as a whole, for example, the synchronization process and the measurement process measurement may be completed within the requirements of the measurement configuration. Alternatively, the measurement configuration may be a plurality of separate requirements, for example, measurement configurations for synchronization requirements (e.g., completing LP-WUS synchronization within the synchronization requirement) and measurement configurations for measurement requirements (e.g., completing the derivation of valid measurement results within the measurement requirement) may be defined separately.

[0272] Optionally, the expansion coefficient may include a first expansion coefficient and a second expansion coefficient.

[0273] In some embodiments, the first period is a measurement signal period, and the first expansion coefficient (which can be denoted as expansion coefficient K2) can be determined based on the size of the wake-up signal period (denoted as P1) and / or the first period (that is, the measurement signal period, denoted as P2).

[0274] Optionally, the first expansion coefficient may be agreed upon by a protocol, or the first expansion coefficient may be configured by a network.

[0275] In some embodiments, if P2>threshold M (ie, the first threshold) and P1<threshold N (ie, the second threshold), it is determined to use expansion coefficient K2 (K2>1) as the expansion coefficient.

[0276] In some embodiments, a second expansion coefficient (which may be referred to as expansion coefficient K1) may be determined based on a relationship between a time domain distance between a reference signal in the first period and an awakening signal in the awakening signal period and a third threshold, where K1>1.

[0277] The time domain distance may be defined as: the end point of the reference signal duration in the first period and the start point of the signal duration in the wake-up signal period, or the end point of the signal duration in the wake-up signal period and the start point of the reference signal duration in the basic period.

[0278] In some embodiments, if the time domain distance is less than or equal to a third threshold, it may be determined to use the expansion coefficient K1 as the expansion coefficient.

[0279] In some embodiments, if the time domain distance is far, such as the time domain distance is greater than the third threshold, it is necessary to consider re-performing synchronization first. At this time, a longer overall measurement requirement can be used, or the synchronization requirement can be executed first, and then the measurement requirement can be executed.

[0280] In the above embodiment, the signal used for measurement can be any one of LP-SS, LP-WUS sequence, and SSS. In more possible implementations, for LP-WUR that supports both OOK signal and OFDM signal reception, the signal used for measurement may change.

[0281] In some embodiments, if the signal used for measurement changes (for example, from LP-SS to SSS, etc.), the terminal may restart the measurement.

[0282] In some embodiments, the change in the signal used for measurement may be explicitly indicated by the network device, such as by indicating through an instruction (such as the second information) that the signal used for measurement has changed; or, the change in the signal used for measurement may be implicitly indicated by the network device, such as the network device does not send any signaling separately, but sends the signal used for measurement normally, and the terminal can determine whether the signal used for measurement has changed based on the received signal.

[0283] Optionally, the terminal in the embodiment of the present disclosure may be in an idle state, an inactive state, or a connected state, which is not limited.
