Description

Determination method, communication device and storage medium Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a determination method, communication equipment, and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] In existing wireless communication systems, terminal devices need to obtain SIB1 (System Information Block 1) from network devices. According to existing protocols, SIB1 can only be transmitted via broadcast. Therefore, terminal devices only need to receive SIB1 at specified times without sending a UL WUS (Uplink Wake-Up Signal) to request it.

[0003] During the process of conceiving and implementing this application, the inventors discovered at least the following problems:

[0004] In a network energy-saving cell, SIB1 can be actively broadcast by network devices or requested by terminal devices. However, if a terminal device cannot determine the broadcast status of SIB1, it may repeatedly send UL WUS requests to request SIB1. Such repeated requests increase power consumption not only for the terminal device but also for the network device. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify the method for obtaining the broadcast status of SIB1 to support reduced power consumption of terminal devices and / or network devices.

[0005] The preceding description is intended to provide general background information and does not necessarily constitute prior art. Technical Solutions

In the following description, when referring to the drawings, identical numerals in different figures represent identical or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present application, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0121] It should be noted that, in this document, the terms "comprises", "includes" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, an element defined by the sentence "comprises a ..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device comprising the element, and / or, components, features, and elements with the same name in different embodiments of the present application may have the same meaning or different meanings, and their specific meanings need to be determined by their explanation in the specific embodiment or further combined with the context of the specific embodiment.

[0122] It should be understood that although the terms "first," "second," "third," etc. may be used herein to describe various information, such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are used solely to distinguish information of the same type from one another. For example, without departing from the scope of this disclosure, first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information. Depending on the context, the term "if," as used herein, may be interpreted as "upon," "when," or "in response to a determination." Furthermore, as used herein, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context indicates otherwise. It should be further understood that the terms "comprising" and "including" indicate the presence of the recited features, steps, operations, elements, components, items, types, and / or groups, but do not preclude the presence, occurrence, or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, components, items, types, and / or groups. The terms "or," "and / or," "including at least one of the following," etc., as used herein, may be interpreted as inclusive, meaning any one or any combination. For example, “comprising at least one of the following: A, B, C” means “any of the following: A; B; C; A and B; A and C; B and C; A and B and C”; and for another example, “A, B or C” or “A, B and / or C” means “any of the following: A; B; C; A and B; A and C; B and C; A and B and C”. An exception to this definition will occur only when a combination of elements, functions, steps or operations are inherently mutually exclusive in some manner.

[0123] It should be understood that, although the various steps in the flowchart in the embodiment of the present application are shown in sequence according to the indication of the arrows, these steps are not necessarily performed in sequence in the order indicated by the arrows.

When implementing the step, those skilled in the art may execute S2 first and then S1, etc., but these should all be within the scope of protection of this application.

[0126] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0127] In the subsequent description, the use of suffixes such as "module", "component" or "unit" to represent elements is only for the purpose of facilitating the description of the present application and has no specific meaning.

[0129] In this application, the number of times N, N or similar expressions appear, unless otherwise specified, shall be 0 or a positive integer.

[0130] The terminal device may be implemented in various forms. For example, the terminal device described in this application may include intelligent terminal devices such as mobile phones, tablet computers, laptop computers, PDAs, portable media players (PMPs), navigation devices, wearable devices, smart bracelets, pedometers, and other fixed terminal devices such as digital TVs and desktop computers.

[0131] The subsequent description will be made using a mobile terminal as an example. Those skilled in the art will understand that, in addition to components specifically used for mobile purposes, the configuration according to the embodiments of the present application can also be applied to fixed-type terminal devices.

[0132] Please refer to Figure 1, which is a schematic diagram of the hardware structure of a mobile terminal for implementing various embodiments of the present application. The mobile terminal 100 may include components such as a radio frequency unit 101, a WiFi module 102, an audio output unit 103, an A / V (audio / video) input unit 104, a sensor 105, a display unit 106, a user input unit 107, an interface unit 108, a memory 109, a processor 110, and a power supply 111. Those skilled in the art will understand that the mobile terminal structure shown in Figure 1 does not limit the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal may include more or fewer components than shown, or may combine certain components, or arrange the components differently.

[0133] The following is a detailed introduction to the various components of the mobile terminal in conjunction with Figure 1:

[0134] The RF unit 101 can be used to send and receive information or receive signals during calls. Specifically, it receives downlink information from the base station and transmits it to the processor 110 for processing. It also transmits uplink data to the base station. Typically, the RF unit 101 includes, but is not limited to, an antenna, at least one amplifier, a transceiver, a coupler, a low-noise amplifier, a duplexer, and / or other components. Furthermore, the RF unit 101 can communicate with the network and other devices via wireless communication. The above-mentioned wireless communications can use any communication standard or protocol, including but not limited to GSM (Global System of Mobile communication), GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), CDMA2000 (Code Division Multiple Access 2000), WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access), TD-SCDMA (Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access), FDD-LTE (Frequency Division Duplexing-Long Term Evolution), TDD-LTE (Time Division Duplexing-Long Term Evolution), 5G and 6G, etc.
