Description

Information processing method and device thereof Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to an information processing method and device thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the gradual application of large-scale active antenna arrays and the large-scale construction of fifth-generation (5G) mobile networks, the energy consumption of wireless communication networks has increased significantly. The growth rate of energy consumption costs has even exceeded the revenue growth of operators. Therefore, network energy saving is an important means for operators to reduce the cost of operating 5G systems.

[0003] However, for the secondary cell supporting the NES (network energy saving) mode in the carrier aggregation scenario, when the terminal requests the on-demand SSB (Synchronization Signal Block) SCell (Secondary Cell) to send SSB through UL-WUS (Up Link Wake Up Signal) or preamble, the terminal cannot determine the on-demand SSB SCell path loss because the on-demand SSB SCell has no SSB.

[0004] Summary of the Invention

[0005] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide an information processing method and an apparatus thereof.

[0006] According to a first aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, an information processing method is proposed, which is executed by a terminal, and the method includes: determining the path loss of a first cell; determining the path loss of a second cell based on the path loss of the first cell, where the second cell is a network energy saving NES cell or a cell that supports on-demand request synchronization signal blocks SSB.

[0007] According to a second aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, an information processing method is proposed, which is executed by a network device, and the method includes: sending a first parameter and a second parameter; the first parameter and the second parameter are used by a terminal to determine the path loss of a first cell, and the path loss of the first cell is used by the terminal to determine the path loss of a second cell, and the second cell is a network energy saving NES cell or a cell that supports on-demand request synchronization signal blocks SSB.

[0008] According to a third aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, a terminal is proposed, including: a processing module for determining the path loss of a first cell; and determining the path loss of a second cell based on the path loss of the first cell, where the second cell is a network energy saving NES cell or a cell that supports on-demand request synchronization signal blocks SSB.

This ensures normal communication between the terminal and the network. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The communication system may include, but is not limited to, one terminal and one network device. The number and configuration of devices shown in Figure 1 are for example purposes only and do not limit the present disclosure. In actual applications, two or more terminals and two or more network devices may be included. The communication system 100 shown in Figure 1 includes, for example, one terminal 101 and one network device 102.

[0099] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 herein may be an entity on the user side for receiving or transmitting signals, such as a mobile phone. It may also be referred to as a terminal, user equipment (UE), mobile station (MS), mobile terminal (MT), etc. The terminal may be a car with communication capabilities, a smart car, a mobile phone, a wearable device, a tablet computer (Pad), a computer with wireless transceiver capabilities, a virtual reality (VR) terminal, an augmented reality (AR) terminal, a wireless terminal in industrial control, a wireless terminal in self-driving, a wireless terminal in remote medical surgery, a wireless terminal in a smart grid, a wireless terminal in transportation safety, a wireless terminal in a smart city, a wireless terminal in a smart home, etc. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the specific technology and specific device form adopted by the terminal.

In some embodiments, the access network device is, for example, a node or device that connects a terminal device to a wireless network. The access network device may include at least one of an evolved NodeB (eNB), a next generation evolved NodeB (ng-eNB), a next generation NodeB (gNB), a NodeB (NB), a home nodeB (HNB), a home evolved nodeB (HeNB), a wireless backhaul device, a radio network controller (RNC), a base station controller (BSC), a base transceiver station (BTS), a base band unit (BBU), a mobile switching center, a base station in a 6G communication system, an open RAN, a cloud RAN, a base station in other communication systems, and an access node in a Wi-Fi system, but is not limited thereto.

The CU-DU structure can be used to split the protocol layer of the access network device, with the functions of some protocol layers centrally controlled by the CU, and the functions of the remaining part or all of the protocol layers distributed in the DU, which is centrally controlled by the CU, but is not limited to this.

[0103] It can be understood that the communication system described in the embodiment of the present disclosure is for the purpose of more clearly illustrating the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure, and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solution proposed in the embodiment of the present disclosure. Ordinary technicians in this field can know that with the evolution of the system architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solution proposed in the embodiment of the present disclosure is also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0104] The following embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to the communication system 100 shown in FIG1 , or a portion thereof, but are not limited thereto.

[0105] In some embodiments, the first cell in this document may be an SCell (Secondary Cell) in a carrier aggregation scenario (such as an inter-band CA scenario), and the SCell is an NES cell. In some embodiments, the first cell in this document supports sending SSBs based on requests. Exemplarily, the first cell (such as an SSB-less SCell) may send SSBs (on demand SSBs) and / or SIBs on demand, which may be used as an enhancement to SSB transmission for scenarios not covered by SSB-less operations to achieve network element gain and ensure appropriate / enhanced SCell functionality, including time / frequency synchronization, L1 / L3 measurements, and SCell activation. If the terminal needs to obtain the SSB of the above-mentioned first cell (i.e., an SSB-less SCell that supports sending SSBs based on request, also referred to as an on-demand SSB SCell), it may use a UL WUS (wake up signal) wake-up signal to request an SSB from the first cell.

[0106] The embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE-Advanced (LTE-A), LTE-Beyond (LTE-B), SUPER 3G, IMT-Advanced, 4th generation mobile communication system (4G), 5th generation mobile communication system (5G), 5G new radio (NR), future radio access (FRA), new radio access technology (RAT), new radio (NR), new radio access (NX), future generation radio access (FX), Global System for Mobile communications (GSM (registered trademark)), CDMA2000, Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.20, Ultra-WideBand (UWB), Bluetooth (registered trademark), Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) networks, Device-to-Device (D2D) systems, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) systems, Internet of Things (IoT) systems, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X), systems utilizing other information processing methods, and next-generation systems based on and extending these systems. Furthermore, multiple systems may be combined (for example, a combination of LTE or LTE-A with 5G).

[0107] It's important to note that, driven by people's pursuit of speed, latency, high-speed mobility, and energy efficiency, as well as the increasing diversity and complexity of future services, the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) international standards organization has begun developing 5G. The main application scenarios for 5G are: enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC), and massive machine-type communications (mMTC). eMBB, still aimed at providing users with multimedia content, services, and data, is experiencing rapid growth in demand. However, since eMBB can be deployed in diverse scenarios, such as indoors, in urban areas, and in rural areas, its capabilities and requirements vary significantly, making a generalized approach difficult and requiring detailed analysis based on specific deployment scenarios. Typical applications of URLLC include industrial automation, power automation, remote medical operations (surgery), and traffic safety. mMTC's key features include high connection density, low data volumes, latency-insensitive services, low module costs, and long module lifespans.

[0108] Since the energy consumption of 5G base stations is four times that of LTE base stations, network energy saving is an important means for operators to reduce the cost of operating 5G systems. In some embodiments, in order to save energy for terminals in the RRC (Radio Resource Control) connected state (RRC_CONNECTED), a WUS (wake up signal) is introduced. An offset in front of the on duration of UE C-DRX (Connected Discontinuous Reception) defines a duration for sending a WUS signal. During this WUS duration, a WUS signal, i.e., DCI 2-6, is sent, which is encrypted by PS-RNTI (Power Saving RNTI) to indicate whether the terminal wakes up to monitor PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel) during the next UE C-DRX onduration.

[0109] In some embodiments, a paging WUS (paging wake-up signal) is introduced to save energy in RRC_IDLE / INACTIVE terminals. This WUS, also known as the PEI (paging early indication), is sent sometime before the paging occasion (PO) to indicate whether the terminal is monitoring paging schedule information at that PO. The PEI is DCI 2-7, scrambled by the PEI-RNTI (paging early indication radio network temporary identifier).

[0110] In 5G Release 18, to reduce network energy consumption, when the network enters energy-saving mode (NES mode), cells periodically stop transmitting and / or receiving at regular intervals, known as cell DTX (Discontinuous Transmission) / DRX (Discontinuous Reception). However, current standards agree that MIB (Master Indication Block), SIB (System Information Block), paging, and RACH (Random Access Channel) transmission and reception are permitted.

[0111] During the network energy-saving SI (Study Item) phase, the concept of SSB / SIB1-less cells was proposed in related technologies. These cells do not send SSB, SIB1, other SIBs, or paging, but can initiate a RACH process to the SSB / SIB1-less cell. SSB / SIB1-less cells do not send SSBs, and SIB1 broadcasts its configuration through an associated cell (anchor cell). At the same time, the deployment of SSB / SIB1-less cells makes network deployment more flexible, because SSB / SIB1-less cells do not change network coverage; they only provide data services and expand system capacity. Therefore, SSB / SIB1-less cells can be quickly deployed, quickly used, flexibly deployed, and enabled on demand, i.e., "plug and play," improving the flexibility and timeliness of network deployment.

[0112] In some embodiments, R19NES attempts to support FR2 (Frequency range 2) and non-co-site scenarios, and on-demand SSB can be used as an enhancement to SSB transmission for scenarios not covered by SSB-less operation to achieve network element gain and ensure appropriate / enhanced SCell functions, including time / frequency synchronization, L1 / L3 measurements and SCell activation. If the UE needs to obtain the SSB of the on-demand SSB SCell, the UL WUS (Up Link Wake Up Signal) wake-up signal can be used to request SSB from the on-demand SSB SCell. This UL WUS can be a preamble, for example, by initiating a random access process to the SCell and instructing the SCell to send SSB through a specific preamble.

[0113] However, when the terminal requests the on-demand SSB SCell to send the SSB through UL-WUS or preamble, the terminal cannot determine the on-demand SSB SCell path loss because the on-demand SSB SCell does not have the SSB.

[0114] To this end, the present disclosure provides an information processing method and apparatus thereof. This method addresses the issue of a terminal being unable to determine the path loss of an on-demand SSB SCell / NES cell when a terminal requests SSB transmission via UL-WUS / preamble in carrier aggregation scenarios. Because the on-demand SSB SCell lacks SSB, the terminal cannot determine the path loss. This ensures normal communication between the terminal and the network.

[0115] FIG2A is an interactive diagram illustrating an information processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2A , the information processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure can be applied to a communication system 100 , and the method includes but is not limited to the following steps.

[0116] Step S2101: The network device 102 sends a first parameter and a second parameter.

[0117] Among them, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned first parameter and the second parameter are used by the terminal 101 to determine the path loss of the first cell, and the path loss of the first cell is used by the terminal 101 to determine the path loss of the second cell, and the second cell is an NES cell or a cell supporting on-demand SSB.

[0118] In some embodiments, the first parameter and the second parameter are ss-PBCH-BlockPower and powerControlOffsetSS.

[0119] As an example, the first parameter is ss-PBCH-BlockPower, and the second parameter is powerControlOffsetSS.

[0120] As another example, the first parameter is powerControlOffsetSS, and the second parameter is ss-PBCH-BlockPowe.

[0121] In some embodiments, the network device 102 sends the first parameter and the second parameter to the terminal 101 .

[0122] In some embodiments, the network device 102 may send the first parameter and the second parameter via dedicated signaling or SIB.

[0123] As an example, the network device 102 sends dedicated signaling, where the dedicated signaling includes the first parameter and the second parameter.

[0124] As an example, the network device 102 sends a SIB, where the dedicated signaling includes a first parameter and a second parameter.

[0125] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the dedicated signaling may be RRC (Radio Resource Control) signaling.

[0126] Step S2102: Terminal 101 obtains referenceSignalPower configured by a higher layer.

[0127] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the referenceSignalPower is determined according to the SSB or CSI-RS associated with the first PRACH resource on the first cell.

[0128] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 receives the first parameter and the second parameter sent by the network device 102 .

[0129] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 receives dedicated signaling sent by a network device, where the dedicated signaling includes a first parameter and a second parameter.

[0130] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 receives a SIB sent by a network device, where the dedicated signaling includes a first parameter and a second parameter.

[0131] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 determines the referenceSignalPower based on the first parameter and the second parameter (ie, ss-PBCH-BlockPower and powerControlOffsetSS) sent by the network device 102 and the SSB or CSI-RS associated with the PRACH.

[0132] In some embodiments, the first cell is a primary cell corresponding to the second cell, and the second cell is an NES cell or a cell supporting on-demand SSB.

[0133] As an example, the terminal 101 determines the referenceSignalPower according to the SSB associated with the first PRACH resource on the primary cell corresponding to the cell supporting the on-demand SSB request. The first PRACH resource may be called a first RO (RACH occasion).

[0134] As an example, the terminal 101 determines the referenceSignalPower according to the CSI-RS associated with the first PRACH resource on the primary cell corresponding to the cell supporting the on-demand SSB request.

[0135] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first PRACH resource may be determined by the terminal 101 according to the implementation. For example, the first PRACH may be the first PRACH resource, or the first PRACH may be the last PRACH resource. Alternatively, if the PRACH resource (or RO resource) where the terminal 101 sends the preamble in the second cell is the second PRACH resource, then the PRACH resource closest to the second PRACH resource in the PRACH (or RO resource) where the terminal 101 sends the preamble on the primary cell may be used as the first PRACH resource. The preamble sent by the second cell is a preamble used to request an SSB from the on-demand SSB SCell, or the preamble sent by the second cell may be a preamble used to instruct the SCell to send an SSB.

[0136] In other embodiments of the present disclosure, the first PRACH resource may be pre-agreed, for example, by a relevant protocol, or determined in other ways, which are not specifically limited in the present disclosure.

[0137] In some embodiments, the first cell is a designated serving cell. For example, the first cell is a designated serving cell of the network device 102.

[0138] Step S2103: The terminal 101 measures the RSRP of the SSB or CSI-RS associated with the first PRACH resource on the first cell to obtain a Higher Layer Filtered RSRP.

[0139] As an example, when sending the first PRACH resource, the terminal 101 measures the RSRP of the SSB associated with the first PRACH resource to obtain the Higher layer filtered RSRP.

[0140] As an example, when sending the first PRACH resource, the terminal 101 measures the RSRP of the CSI-RS associated with the first PRACH resource to obtain the Higher Layer Filtered RSRP.

[0141] Step S2104: The terminal 101 determines the path loss of the first cell according to the referenceSignalPower and the HigherLayerFilteredRSRP.

[0142] For example, the terminal 101 subtracts the Higher layer filtered RSRP from the reference Signal Power to obtain the path loss of the first cell.

[0143] Step S2105: The terminal 101 determines the path loss of the first cell as the path loss of the second cell.

[0144] In some embodiments, the NES cell is an SCell that sends the SSB only upon request. The terminal 101 directly uses the path loss of the first cell as the path loss of the NES cell.

[0145] As an example, the terminal 101 directly uses the path loss of the primary cell as the path loss of the cell supporting on-demand SSB.

[0146] As an example, the terminal 101 directly uses the path loss of the designated cell as the path loss of the cell supporting the on-demand SSB request.

For example, step 2105 may be implemented as an independent embodiment, and steps S2104 and S2105 may be implemented as independent embodiments, but are not limited thereto.

[0187] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 adds a path loss offset to the path loss of the first cell to obtain the path loss of the second cell.

The terminal 101 can determine the path loss of the second cell based on the path loss of the first cell and the path loss offset coefficient according to the pre-configuration information.

[0203] In other embodiments of the present disclosure, terminal 101 may determine how to process the path loss and path loss offset of the first cell based on pre-configuration. For example, terminal 101 may be pre-configured to multiply the path loss of the first cell by a path loss offset coefficient to obtain the path loss of the second cell, or may be pre-configured to divide the path loss of the first cell by the path loss offset coefficient to obtain the path loss of the second cell.

As shown in Figure 2D, the information processing method according to the embodiment of the present disclosure can be applied to the communication system 100, and the method includes but is not limited to the following steps.

[0253] Step S2401: The network device 102 sends a first parameter, a second parameter, and third information.

[0254] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the third information includes the configuration of the timer.

[0255] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned timer is started or restarted each time the terminal 101 obtains an SSB from the second cell. The timer is used to instruct the terminal to calculate the effective time of the path loss of the second cell based on the received SSB; the timer is used for the terminal 101 to determine the path loss of the second cell based on the path loss of the first cell when the timer expires. The timer is also used for the terminal to determine the path loss of the second cell based on the SSB that the terminal last obtained from the second cell during the operation of the timer.

[0256] In some embodiments, the third information is dedicated signaling or SIB. Optionally, in some embodiments, the third information may also be carried in dedicated signaling or SIB.

[0257] In some embodiments, the first parameter and the second parameter may be sent by the network device 102 via dedicated signaling or a SIB. Alternatively, the first parameter, the second parameter, and the third information may be sent by the network device 102 via the same dedicated signaling or the same SIB. As an example, the network device 102 sends dedicated signaling, which includes the first parameter, the second parameter, and a timer configuration, where the timer configuration may include a timer duration.

[0258] As an example, the network device 102 sends an SIB, which includes a first parameter, a second parameter, and a configuration of a timer, where the configuration of the timer may include a timer duration.

[0259] In some embodiments, during the operation of the timer, the corresponding terminal 101 calculates the path loss of the second cell based on the SSB of the second cell, and the effective time of the SSB.

[0261] In some embodiments, a new IE may be defined in ServingCellConfig to indicate the configuration of the timer.

[0262] In some embodiments, a new IE may be defined in SCellConfig to indicate the configuration of the timer.

[0263] In some embodiments, the network device 102 may send the first parameter, the second parameter, and the third information simultaneously.

[0264] In some embodiments, the network device 102 may send the first parameter, the second parameter, and the third information separately.

[0265] As an example, the network device 102 sends the first parameter, the second parameter and the third information respectively through different dedicated signaling.

[0266] As an example, the network device 102 sends the first parameter, the second parameter and the third information respectively through different SIBs.

[0267] As an example, the network device 102 sends the first parameter, the second parameter, and the third information respectively through different dedicated signaling and SIB.

[0268] Step S2402: Terminal 101 obtains referenceSignalPower configured by a higher layer.

[0269] The optional implementation of step S2402 can refer to the optional implementation of step S2102 in Figure 2A and other related parts in the embodiment involved in Figure 2A, which will not be repeated here.

[0270] Step S2403: The terminal 101 measures the RSRP of the SSB or CSI-RS associated with the first PRACH resource on the first cell to obtain a Higher Layer Filtered RSRP.

[0271] The optional implementation of step S2403 can refer to the optional implementation of step S2103 in Figure 2A and other related parts in the embodiment involved in Figure 2A, which will not be repeated here.

[0272] Step S2404: The terminal 101 determines the path loss of the first cell according to the referenceSignalPower and the HigherLayerFilteredRSRP.

[0273] The optional implementation of step S2404 can refer to the optional implementation of step S2104 in Figure 2A and other related parts in the embodiment involved in Figure 2A, which will not be repeated here.

[0274] Step S2405: When the timer expires, the terminal 101 determines the path loss of the first cell as the path loss of the second cell.

[0275] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 receives third information sent by the network device, where the third information includes the configuration of the timer.

[0276] In some embodiments, the timer is started or restarted each time the terminal 101 obtains an SSB from the second cell. The timer is used by the terminal to calculate the effective time of the path loss indicating the second cell based on the received SSB.

[0277] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned timer is obtained by the terminal 101 according to the timer configuration in the third information sent by the network device 102.

[0278] As an example, when the timer expires, the terminal 101 directly determines the path loss of the first cell as the path loss of the second cell. The timer is obtained by the terminal 101 based on the timer configuration included in the received dedicated signaling, and the terminal 101 starts or restarts the timer each time it obtains an SSB from the second cell.

[0279] As an example, when the timer expires, the terminal 101 directly determines the path loss of the first cell as the path loss of the second cell. The timer is obtained by the terminal 101 based on the timer configuration included in the received SIB. The terminal 101 starts or restarts the timer each time it obtains an SSB from the second cell.

[0280] In some other embodiments, during the operation of the timer, the terminal 101 determines the path loss of the second cell based on the SSB that the terminal last obtained from the second cell.

[0281] In some embodiments, if the terminal 101 has previously obtained an SSB transmitted by the second cell (for example, the initial first WUS transmission may adopt the solution shown in the embodiment of FIG. 2A , FIG. 2B , or FIG. 2C , and obtain the SSB transmitted by the second cell by transmitting the WUS), this SSB can be used to calculate the path loss of the terminal 101 in the second cell within the timer duration. The specific calculation process can refer to any embodiment of the present disclosure, such as S2102 , S2103 , and S2104 . That is, each time the terminal 101 needs to calculate the path loss of the second cell, it first determines whether the SSB of the second cell can be obtained. If so, the terminal 101 directly calculates the path loss using the SSB of the NES cell. If not, the terminal 101 determines whether the time since the last acquisition of the SSB of the second cell has exceeded the first timer duration. If not, the terminal 101 calculates the path loss using the last acquired SSB of the second cell. If the time has not exceeded the first timer duration, the terminal 101 calculates the path loss using the last acquired SSB of the second cell. If the time has exceeded the first timer duration, the terminal 101 calculates the path loss of the second cell using the technical solutions of other embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0282] As an example, during the operation of the timer, the terminal 101 estimates the path loss based on the SSB obtained from the second cell last time to obtain the path loss of the second cell. The specific calculation process can refer to any embodiment of the present disclosure, such as step S2102, step S2103, step S2104, etc.

In other words, the steps of sending and receiving the third information and the step of determining the path loss of the first cell may be performed in an interchanged order or simultaneously.

[0285] In some embodiments, step S2401, step S2402, step S2403 and step S2404 are optional, and one or more of these steps may be omitted or replaced in different embodiments.

As shown in Figure 2E, the information processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure can be applied to a communication system 100, and the method includes but is not limited to the following steps.

[0288] Step S2501: The network device 102 sends a first parameter, a second parameter, first information, second information, and third information.

[0289] In some embodiments, the first parameter and the second parameter may be sent by the network device 102 via dedicated signaling or SIB.

[0298] The optional implementation of step S2502 can refer to the optional implementation of step S2302 in Figure 2C and other related parts in the embodiment involved in Figure 2C, which will not be repeated here.

[0299] Step S2503: Terminal 101 obtains referenceSignalPower configured by a higher layer.

[0300] The optional implementation of step S2503 can refer to the optional implementation of step S2102 in Figure 2A and other related parts in the embodiment involved in Figure 2A, which will not be repeated here.

[0301] Step S2504: The terminal 101 measures the RSRP of the SSB or CSI-RS associated with the first PRACH resource on the first cell to obtain a Higher Layer Filtered RSRP.

[0302] The optional implementation of step S2504 can refer to the optional implementation of step S2103 in Figure 2A and other related parts in the embodiment involved in Figure 2A, which will not be repeated here.

[0303] Step S2505: The terminal 101 determines the path loss of the first cell according to the referenceSignalPower and the HigherLayerFilteredRSRP.

[0304] The optional implementation of step S2505 can refer to the optional implementation of step S2104 in Figure 2A and other related parts in the embodiment involved in Figure 2A, which will not be repeated here.

[0305] Step S2506: Terminal 101 obtains path loss offset information.

[0306] The optional implementation of step S2506 can refer to the optional implementation of step S2202 in Figure 2B and other related parts in the embodiment involved in Figure 2B, which will not be repeated here.

[0307] Step S2507: When the timer expires, the terminal 101 determines the path loss of the second cell based on the path loss and path loss offset information of the first cell.

[0308] In some embodiments, the timer is started or restarted each time the terminal 101 obtains an SSB from the second cell, and the timer is used to instruct the terminal to calculate the effective time of the path loss of the second cell based on the received SSB.

[0309] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned timer is obtained by the terminal 101 according to the timer configuration in the third information sent by the network device 102.

[0310] As an example, the above timer is obtained by the terminal 101 according to the timer configuration in the dedicated signaling sent by the network device 102.

[0311] As an example, the above timer is obtained by the terminal 101 according to the timer configuration in the SIB sent by the network device 102.

[0312] In some embodiments, when the timer expires, the terminal 101 adds a path loss offset to the path loss of the first cell to obtain the path loss of the second cell.

[0313] As an example, for example, the path loss offset information received by terminal 101 includes a path loss offset. When the timer expires, terminal 101 adds the path loss of the first cell to the path loss offset to obtain a final path loss as the path loss of the second cell.

[0314] In some embodiments, when the timer expires, the terminal 101 subtracts a path loss offset from the path loss of the first cell to obtain the path loss of the second cell.

[0315] As an example, assume that the path loss offset information received by terminal 101 includes a path loss offset. When the timer expires, terminal 101 uses the final path loss obtained by subtracting the path loss offset from the path loss of the first cell as the path loss of the second cell. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, terminal 101 may determine whether to add or subtract the path loss offset from the path loss of the first cell based on implementation.

[0316] In other embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal 101 may determine, based on pre-configured information, how to process the path loss and path loss offset of the first cell when the timer expires. For example, the terminal 101 may determine, based on the pre-configured information, that when the timer expires, the path loss of the first cell is added to the path loss offset to obtain the path loss of the second cell. Alternatively, the terminal 101 may determine, based on the pre-configured information, that when the timer expires, the path loss of the first cell is subtracted from the path loss offset to obtain the path loss of the second cell.

[0317] In some embodiments, when the timer expires, the terminal 101 multiplies the path loss of the first cell by a path loss offset coefficient to obtain the path loss of the second cell.

[0318] As an example, for example, the path loss offset information received by terminal 101 includes a path loss offset coefficient. When the timer expires, terminal 101 multiplies the path loss of the first cell by the path loss offset coefficient to obtain a final path loss as the path loss of the second cell.

[0319] In some embodiments, when the timer expires, the terminal 101 divides the path loss of the first cell by a path loss offset coefficient to obtain the path loss of the second cell.

[0320] As an example, for example, the path loss offset information received by terminal 101 includes a path loss offset coefficient. When the timer expires, terminal 101 divides the path loss of the first cell by the path loss offset coefficient to obtain a final path loss as the path loss of the second cell.

[0321] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal 101 may determine, based on implementation, that when the timer expires, to multiply or divide the path loss of the first cell by a path loss offset coefficient.

[0322] In some embodiments, if the path loss offset information includes a path loss offset and a path loss offset coefficient, the terminal 101 may determine, based on implementation, whether to use the path loss offset or the path loss offset coefficient to determine the path loss of the second cell when the timer expires.

[0323] As an example, the path loss offset information includes a path loss offset and a path loss offset coefficient. The terminal 101 can determine the path loss of the second cell based on the path loss and path loss offset of the first cell when the timer expires according to implementation.

[0324] As an example, the path loss offset information includes a path loss offset amount and a path loss offset coefficient. The terminal 101 can determine the path loss of the second cell based on the path loss of the first cell and the path loss offset coefficient when the timer expires according to the implementation.

[0325] In some embodiments, if the path loss offset information includes a path loss offset and a path loss offset coefficient, the terminal 101 may determine, based on pre-configured information, to use the path loss offset or the path loss offset coefficient to determine the path loss of the second cell when the timer expires.

[0326] As an example, the path loss offset information includes a path loss offset and a path loss offset coefficient. The terminal 101 can determine the path loss of the second cell based on the path loss and path loss offset of the first cell when the timer expires according to the pre-configured information.

[0327] As an example, the path loss offset information includes a path loss offset amount and a path loss offset coefficient. The terminal 101 can determine the path loss of the second cell based on the path loss and the path loss offset coefficient of the first cell when the timer expires according to the pre-configured information.

[0671] Step S5101: The network device 102 sends a first parameter and a second parameter.

[0672] In some embodiments, the first cell includes any one of the following: a primary cell corresponding to the second cell; a designated serving cell.

[0673] In some embodiments, there is a carrier aggregation relationship between the first cell serving cell and the second cell.

[0676] In some embodiments, the network device 102 also sends a third information, and the third information dedicated signaling or SIB includes a timer configuration, wherein the timer is started or restarted each time the terminal obtains an SSB from the second cell, and the timer is used to instruct the terminal to calculate the effective time of the path loss of the second cell based on the received SSB; the timer is used for the terminal to determine the path loss of the second cell based on the path loss of the first cell when the timer expires, and the timer is also used for the terminal to determine the path loss of the second cell based on the SSB that the terminal last obtained from the second cell during the operation of the timer.

[0677] Step S5102: Terminal 101 determines the path loss of the first cell.

[0678] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 obtains the referenceSignalPower configured by the higher layer; measures the RSRP of the SSB or CSI-RS associated with the first PRACH resource on the first cell to obtain the HigherlayerFilteredRSRP; determines the path loss of the first cell according to the referenceSignalPower and the HigherlayerFilteredRSRP.

[0679] The referenceSignalPower is determined based on the SSB or CSI-RS associated with the first PRACH resource on the first cell.

[0680] In some embodiments, the first cell includes any one of the following: a primary cell corresponding to the second cell; a designated serving cell.

[0681] In some embodiments, a carrier aggregation relationship exists between the first cell and the second cell.

[0682] Step S5103: Terminal 101 determines the path loss of the second cell based on the path loss of the first cell.

[0683] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second cell is an NES cell or a cell that supports on-demand SSB.

[0684] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 determines the path loss of the first cell as the path loss of the second cell.

[0685] For an optional implementation manner in which the terminal 101 determines the path loss of the first cell as the path loss of the second cell, reference may be made to the optional implementation manner of step S2104 in FIG. 2A and other related parts in the embodiment involved in FIG. 2A , which will not be described in detail here.

[0686] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 obtains the path loss offset information; and determines the path loss of the second cell based on the path loss of the first cell and the path loss offset information.

[0687] The terminal 101 obtains the path loss offset information; and determines the path loss of the second cell according to the path loss and the path loss offset information of the first cell. For optional implementation methods, see the optional implementation methods of steps S2206 and S2207 of Figure 2B, and other related parts of the embodiment involved in Figure 2B, which will not be repeated here.

[0691] In some embodiments, reference may be made to other optional implementations described before or after the description corresponding to FIG. 5A .

[0692] It is worth noting that the present disclosure provides a method for determining path loss, which solves the problem that in a carrier aggregation scenario, if the terminal requests the on-demand SSB SCell / NES cell to send SSB through UL-WUS / preamble, since the on-demand SSB SCell has no SSB, the terminal is unclear about how to determine the path loss of the on-demand SSB SCell.

[0693] Solution 1: The terminal determines the path loss of the NES cell based on the path loss of the primary cell.

[0694] In some embodiments, the NES cell is an SCell that sends SSBs based on requests. The terminal directly uses the path loss of the primary cell as the path loss of the NES cell. Exemplarily, the path loss of the primary cell is obtained through referenceSignalPower-HigherlayerfilteredRSRP. The referenceSignalPower is determined by the parameters ss-PBCH-BlockPower and powerControlOffsetSS according to the SSB or CSI-RS associated with the PRACH. Specifically, it is determined by the SSB or CSI-RS associated with the PRACH on the primary cell. Which specific PRACH resource may depend on the terminal implementation or protocol provisions, such as the first PRACH resource or the last PRACH resource, etc., and this disclosure does not make specific limitations.

[0695] In some embodiments, the terminal adds / subtracts / multiplies / divides the path loss of the primary cell by an offset as the path loss of the NES cell. Exemplarily, the offset can be obtained through dedicated signaling or SIB. Exemplarily, a new IE is defined in ServingCellConfigCommon / ServingCellConfig / SCellConfig to indicate the path loss offset of the SCell.

[0696] Solution 2: The terminal determines the path loss of the NES cell based on the path loss of the first cell.

[0697] In some embodiments, the NES cell is an SCell that sends SSBs based on requests. The terminal directly uses the path loss of the first cell as the path loss of the NES cell. Exemplarily, the path loss of the first cell is obtained through referenceSignalPower-HigherlayerfilteredRSRP. The referenceSignalPower is determined by the parameters ss-PBCH-BlockPower and powerControlOffsetSS according to the SSB or CSI-RS associated with the PRACH. Specifically, it is determined by the SSB or CSI-RS associated with the PRACH on the first cell. Which specific PRACH resource may depend on the terminal implementation or protocol provisions, such as the first PRACH resource or the last PRACH resource, etc., and this disclosure does not make specific limitations.

[0698] In some embodiments, the base station specifies the first cell through RRC signaling or MAC CE or DCI, and exemplarily specifies the SCellindex of the first cell.

[0699] In some embodiments, the terminal adds / subtracts / multiplies / divides an offset based on the path loss of the first cell as the path loss of the NES cell. Exemplarily, the offset can be obtained through dedicated signaling or SIB. Exemplarily, a new IE is defined in ServingCellConfigCommon / ServingCellConfig / SCellConfig to indicate the path loss offset of this SCell.

[0700] Solution 3: The effective time of the path loss of the NES cell is the duration of the first timer. During the duration of the first timer, the path loss of the NES cell is determined by the SSB of the NES cell.

[0701] In some embodiments, if the terminal has previously obtained an SSB sent by an NES cell (for example, the initial first WUS transmission can use the technical solution of Solution 1 or Solution 2, and the SSB sent by the NES cell is obtained by sending a WUS), this SSB can be used to calculate the terminal's path loss in the NES cell within the first timer duration. The specific calculation formula is referred to the above embodiment. That is, each time the terminal needs to calculate the path loss of the NES cell, it first determines whether the SSB of the NES cell can be obtained. If so, the path loss is calculated using the SSB of the NES cell. If not, the terminal determines whether the last time the SSB of the NES cell was obtained has exceeded the first timer duration. If within the first timer duration, the path loss is calculated using the SSB of the NES cell obtained last time. If it exceeds the first timer duration, the NES cell path loss is calculated using Solution 1 or Solution 2.

[0702] In some embodiments, the terminal starts or restarts the first timer each time it obtains an SSB from the NES cell.

[0703] In some embodiments, the length of the first timer can be obtained through dedicated signaling or SIB. For example, a new IE is defined in ServingCellConfigCommon / ServingCellConfig / SCellConfig to indicate the length of the first timer.
