[0041] FIG1 is a block diagram of a wireless communication system applicable to an embodiment of the present application. The wireless communication system includes a terminal 11 and a network-side device 12. The terminal 11 may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer (Tablet Personal Computer), a laptop computer (Laptop Computer), a notebook computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a handheld computer, a netbook, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a mobile internet device (MID), an augmented reality (AR), a virtual reality (VR) device, a robot, a wearable device (Wearable Device), an aircraft (Flight Vehicle), a vehicle-mounted device (VUE), a ship-mounted device, a pedestrian user equipment (PUE), a smart home (home appliances with wireless communication capabilities, such as refrigerators, televisions, washing machines, or furniture), a game console, a personal computer (PC), an ATM, or a self-service machine, or other terminal-side devices. Wearable devices include: smart watches, smart bracelets, smart headphones, smart glasses, smart jewelry (smart bracelets, smart bracelets, smart rings, smart necklaces, smart anklets, smart anklets, etc.), smart wristbands, smart clothing, etc. Among them, the vehicle-mounted device can also be called a vehicle-mounted terminal, vehicle-mounted controller, vehicle-mounted module, vehicle-mounted component, vehicle-mounted chip or vehicle-mounted unit, etc. It should be noted that the specific type of the terminal 11 is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0042] The network-side device 12 may include an access network device, which may also be referred to as a radio access network (RAN) device, a radio access network function, or a radio access network unit. The access network device may include a base station, a wireless local area network (WLAN) access point (AP), or a wireless fidelity (WiFi) node. Among them, the base station can be referred to as Node B (NB), Evolved Node B (eNB), the next generation Node B (gNB), New Radio Node B (NR Node B), access point, Relay Base Station (RBS), Serving Base Station (SBS), Base Transceiver Station (BTS), radio base station, radio transceiver, Basic Service Set (BSS), Extended Service Set (ESS), Home Node B (HNB), Home evolved Node B (home evolved Node B), Transmission Reception Point (TRP) or other appropriate terms in the relevant field. As long as the same technical effect is achieved, the base station is not limited to specific technical vocabulary. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, only the base station in the NR system is used as an example for introduction, and the specific type of the base station is not limited.

[0043] In some embodiments, the terminal may include a low-power receiver, namely a low-power wake-up radio (LP-WUR) or an almost zero-power wake-up radio (AZP-WUR). The basic working principle of LP-WUR is that the receiving end includes a first module and a second module, as shown in Figure 2, the first module is a main communication module for receiving and sending mobile communication data, and the second module is a low-power receiving module (also called a low-power wake-up receiving module) for receiving WUS. The terminal turns on the low-power receiving module in an energy-saving state to monitor WUS and turns off the main communication module, wherein the WUS can be a low-power wake-up signal (LP-WUS). When downlink data arrives, the network will send WUS to the terminal. After the terminal monitors WUS through the low-power receiving module, it triggers the main communication module from off to on after a series of judgments, and at this time the low-power receiving module enters the off state from the working state. The low-power wake-up receiving module can be turned on continuously or intermittently, and can receive a low-power wake-up signal when it is turned on.

[0044] In some embodiments, the first module is a main communication module, which is used to receive communication data transmitted by the transmitter and send communication data. The second module is a low-power module, which is used to receive LP-WUS and low-power synchronization signal (LP-SS) sent by the transmitter. LP-WUS is used to wake up the main communication module of the receiving end, and LP-SS is used to provide time reference information and other information for receiving LP-WUS, for example, for performing radio resource management (RRM) measurement of the serving cell. It can also provide wake-up link management, for example, determining whether to activate / deactivate LP-WUR based on the measurement results and shut down the main communication module. As shown in Figure 2, the terminal turns on the low-power receiving module in the energy-saving state to monitor LP-WUS and turns off the main communication module. When downlink data arrives, the network will send a wake-up signal to wake up the terminal. After the terminal monitors LP-WUS through the low-power receiving module, it triggers the main communication module from off to on after a series of judgments, and at this time the low-power receiving module enters the off state from the working state. The low-power wake-up receiving module can be turned on continuously or intermittently, and can receive low-power wake-up signals and low-power synchronization signals when turned on.

[0045] In some embodiments, to reduce the reception activity of a terminal in standby mode, effectively shutting down the radio frequency (RF) and baseband (MODEM) modules, thereby significantly reducing the power consumption of communication reception, the aforementioned low-power receiver can be introduced into the terminal's receiving module. In one embodiment, this near-zero-power receiver does not require complex RF module signal detection (such as amplification, filtering, quantization, etc.) or MODEM signal processing, relying solely on passive matched filtering and low-power signal processing.

[0046] In some embodiments, WUS is some relatively simple on-off keying signals, and the time domain pattern of the on-off keying signal is shown in Figure 3, so that the receiver can obtain the wake-up notification through simple energy detection and subsequent possible sequence detection and identification processes. In another embodiment, the low-power wake-up signal can be a frequency-shift keying (FSK) signal, or an orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) signal, or a hybrid signal of OFDM and on-off keying (OOK) or FSK. In addition, while the terminal turns on the low-power receiver to receive the wake-up signal, the main communication module can maintain operation at a lower power consumption level, thereby achieving power saving by receiving the wake-up signal.

[0047] In one embodiment, the WUS signal is an OOK superimposed OFDM waveform or modulated signal.

[0048] In some embodiments, the reception of WUS can be applied to a terminal in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) idle state or an inactive state (RRC_idle / inactive) state, or to a terminal in an RRC connected state (RRC_connected), thereby achieving terminal energy saving.

[0049] In some embodiments, an OOK signal can be generated using OFDM signal generation methods, for example, by transmitting or not transmitting an OFDM modulated sequence to represent an ON / OFF state in the time domain. The OOK signal can be received using a receiver with lower power consumption, but such a receiver may have poor reception performance and coverage.

[0050] In some embodiments, the OFDM modulated sequence in modulation ON can further carry information through different sequences, for example, two sequences represent 0 and 1 information respectively, or four sequences represent 00, 01, 10, and 11 information respectively, as shown in FIG4 .

[0051] As shown in FIG4 , part of the information is carried through OOK modulation, and the other part of the information is carried through an OFDM sequence with an ON level.

[0052] Since demodulating the OFDM sequence requires a receiver capable of receiving OFDM signals, generally speaking, such receivers have better demodulation performance than low-power receivers that can only decode OOK signals.

[0053] In the following, in combination with the accompanying drawings, a WUS monitoring method, a WUS sending method, a device terminal and a network side device provided in an embodiment of the present application are described in detail through some embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0054] Please refer to FIG5 , which is a flowchart of a WUS monitoring method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG5 , the method includes the following steps:

[0055] Step 501: The terminal monitors WUS, where the WUS includes at least one of the following: group information and terminal wake-up indication information.

[0056] The above group information may be referred to as group indication, group wake-up indication information or wake-up group information. Optionally, the group information is used to indicate a target group, and some or all terminals associated with the target group are woken up.

[0057] The above-mentioned group information may include indication information of at least one target group, which may indicate the wake-up of some or all terminals within the at least one target group, or indicate that the group corresponding to the above-mentioned terminal wake-up indication information is the above-mentioned at least one target group, that is, the above-mentioned terminal wake-up indication information acts on the terminal associated with the above-mentioned at least one target group.

[0058] The terminal wake-up indication information may include wake-up indication information of one or more terminals. Optionally, the wake-up indication information may include a wake-up or non-wake-up indication.

[0059] In some embodiments, the WUS may be an LP-WUS or other WUS, which is not limited.

[0060] Among them, the above-mentioned group information and terminal wake-up indication information can be called wake-up information or wake-up related information. For example, the above-mentioned WUS includes wake-up information, and the wake-up information includes at least one of the following: group information and terminal wake-up indication information.

[0061] In step 502, the terminal determines whether to be awakened based on at least one of the grouping information and the terminal awakening indication information.

[0062] The determining whether to be awakened based on at least one of the grouping information and the terminal awakening indication information may include at least one of the following:

[0063] Determining whether to be awakened based on the above grouping information;

[0064] Determine whether to be awakened based on the above-mentioned terminal awakening indication information;

[0065] Determine whether to be awakened based on the above grouping information and terminal awakening indication information.

[0066] In some implementations, whether the user is awakened includes whether the monitoring of the target object is triggered.

[0067] The above-mentioned target objects include but are not limited to at least one of the following:

[0068] Physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), synchronization signal block (SSB), tracking reference signal (TRS).

[0069] In some implementations, the PDCCH may include a paging PDCCH.

[0070] The following description is made by taking an example where the target object includes PDCCH.

[0071] The above-mentioned whether the device is awakened includes: whether the monitoring of the PDCCH is triggered. If it is determined that the device is awakened, the PDCCH monitoring is started; if it is determined that the device is not awakened, the PDCCH monitoring is not started or the PDCCH is not monitored.

[0072] In one embodiment, starting PDCCH monitoring may be understood as resuming PDCCH monitoring.

[0073] Since whether the terminal is awakened includes whether the monitoring of the target object is triggered, this can reduce the probability of the terminal being woken up by mistake and the probability of the terminal monitoring the target object by mistake, thereby saving power consumption of the terminal.

[0074] In some implementations, whether the above-mentioned awakening may also include whether the main communication module is triggered to start.

[0075] In an embodiment of the present application, since the wake-up information includes grouping information, it is possible to wake up at a group granularity to reduce the probability of the terminal being mistakenly awakened, and the wake-up information includes terminal wake-up indication information, it is possible to wake up at a terminal granularity to reduce the probability of the terminal being mistakenly awakened; in addition, when the wake-up information includes grouping information and terminal wake-up indication information, it is possible to reduce the probability of the terminal being mistakenly awakened, and save WUS resource overhead because of the two-level wake-up indication of grouping information and terminal wake-up indication information.

[0076] As an optional implementation manner, when the WUS includes the group information and the terminal wake-up indication information, the terminal wake-up indication information is the terminal wake-up indication information associated with the target group indicated by the group information.

[0077] The terminal wake-up indication information is the terminal wake-up indication information associated with the target group indicated by the group information, which can be understood as the wake-up indication information of the terminal associated with the target group, that is, the scope of the terminal wake-up indication information is the terminal associated with the target group. The terminal associated with the target group may be a terminal within the target group.

[0078] Optionally, the terminal learns the group to which it is associated through network-side device configuration. For example, the group is associated with one or more terminals.

[0079] In this implementation, two-level indications can be implemented through group information and terminal wake-up indication information, which not only saves WUS overhead but also ensures that the granularity of the WUS wake-up indication is the terminal, thereby reducing the probability of terminal false wake-up.

[0080] As an optional implementation manner, the terminal wake-up indication information includes:

[0081] Wake-up indication information of at least one terminal; or

[0082] Identity information of at least one terminal.

[0083] The wake-up indication information of the at least one terminal may be indication information for indicating whether the at least one terminal is awakened. For another example, one indication information may indicate whether one or more terminals are awakened. That is, in some embodiments, multiple terminals may share the same indication information, such as the same indication bit.

[0084] The identity information of the at least one terminal may indicate that when the terminal wake-up instruction information includes the identity information of a terminal, it indicates waking up the terminal, that is, the terminal wake-up instruction information may wake up the at least one terminal.

[0085] In some implementations, the identity information may be identification information of the terminal or information such as a code point corresponding to the terminal, and may specifically be identity information of the terminal as agreed upon in a protocol or configured on the network side.

[0086] In a case where the wake-up information includes the group information, the wake-up indication information of the at least one terminal may be wake-up indication information of at least one terminal in each target group indicated by the group information.

[0087] In a case where the wake-up information includes the group information, the identity information of the at least one terminal may be identity information of at least one terminal in each target group indicated by the group information.

[0088] In the above implementation, since the terminal wake-up indication information includes the wake-up indication information of at least one terminal or the identity information of at least one terminal, it is possible to wake up one or more terminals at the same time. This wake-up information indication method of WUS can enable one WUS to carry the wake-up information of multiple terminals, thereby reducing the sending frequency of WUS and saving the resource overhead of WUS, so as to improve the compatibility of the system and apply it to more scenarios or services.

[0089] As an optional implementation manner, the above-mentioned grouping information includes indication information of at least one target group, that is, the above-mentioned grouping information may indicate one or more groups.

[0090] Optionally, the at least one target group may be associated with one terminal or multiple terminals, for example, one target group may be associated with one terminal, or one target group may be associated with multiple terminals, or multiple target groups may be associated with one terminal.

[0091] The above-mentioned one target group being associated with one terminal can be understood as including only one terminal in the group, and the above-mentioned one target group being associated with multiple terminals can be understood as including multiple terminals in the group.

[0092] By associating a single terminal, wakeup can be performed at the granularity of a single terminal, further reducing the probability of a terminal being falsely awakened. By associating multiple terminals, wakeup can be performed at the granularity of a group, reducing WUS overhead. Alternatively, by associating target groups of multiple terminals with the aforementioned terminal wakeup indication information, a secondary indication can be implemented, reducing WUS overhead while also reducing the probability of false awakenings.

[0093] As an optional implementation manner, the WUS carries the grouping information in the form of codepoints;

[0094] or,

[0095] The WUS carries the terminal wake-up indication information in a bitmap or code point manner.

[0096] The WUS carries the group information in a code point manner, which may be one code point indicating or associated with one group, or one code point indicating or associated with multiple groups.

[0097] In another embodiment, the WUS may also carry the grouping information in a bitmap or bitmap format.

[0098] The WUS carries the terminal wake-up indication information in a bitmap manner, and each bit in the bitmap may indicate or be associated with the wake-up indication information of one terminal, that is, each terminal is associated with one wake-up indication bit in the bitmap.

[0099] The above-mentioned WUS carries the terminal wake-up indication information in the form of code points, and each code point may indicate or be associated with one terminal, or multiple code points may be associated with one terminal, or one code point may be associated with or indicate multiple terminals (for example, a special code point is associated with or indicates all terminals or all terminals under the group). For example, each terminal can be associated with multiple code points, and when the terminal detects any associated code point, the terminal is awakened.

[0100] In the above implementation, the group or terminal wake-up indication information is accurately indicated by code point indication, and a WUS is used to wake up multiple terminals at the same time by a bitmap, which can save the WUS overhead.

[0101] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the manner in which the above-mentioned grouping information is carried. For example, in some implementations, the above-mentioned grouping information may also be implicitly indicated.

[0102] For example, in some embodiments, the packet information is indicated by scrambling a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) sequence of the WUS, or the packet information is indicated by a protocol agreement or network configuration.

[0103] The CRC can be a CRC sequence of the scrambled WUS payload portion, and different CRC sequences are used to scramble the payload to implement packet indication. For example, as shown in Table 1 below, there are four 2-bit CRC sequences. Each sequence represents a packet.

[0104] Table 1:

[0105] The above-mentioned group information may be indicated by a protocol agreement or network configuration, and the protocol agreement or network configuration may include an indication method for group information, so that after monitoring the above-mentioned WUS, the terminal determines the group information based on the indication method for the group information agreed upon by the protocol agreement or network configuration. For example, the protocol agreement or network configuration corresponds to the start bit position information or end bit position information of multiple group information, so that the terminal determines the terminal wake-up indication information associated with the group to which the terminal belongs through the start bit position information or the end bit position information.

[0106] For example, the network device implements implicit group indication by configuring the starting bit position of different groups in the wake-up information carried by the WUS. As shown in Figure 6, the WUS carries a total of 8 bits of wake-up information. The network device configures the starting bit position of each of the two groups. This means that each group contains 4 bits. The WUS carries the terminal wake-up indication information for both groups. This allows the terminal to determine the terminal wake-up indication information for the group it is in, and thus its own wake-up indication information.

[0107] In the above implementation, implicit indication of group information can be achieved, thereby saving WUS overhead.

[0108] As an optional implementation manner, before the terminal monitors the WUS, the method further includes:

[0109] The terminal obtains WUS-related configuration information, where the configuration information includes at least one of the following:

[0110] Group information associated with the terminal;

[0111] Indication bit information associated with the group to which the terminal belongs;

[0112] The starting bit position information corresponding to the group to which the terminal belongs;

[0113] Indication bit information associated with each group;

[0114] The starting bit position information corresponding to each group;

[0115] Information about the number of packets carried by the WUS;

[0116] The total number of information bits carried by the WUS;

[0117] the number of bits of at least one of the grouping information and the terminal wake-up indication information carried by the WUS;

[0118] The number of bits occupied by the packet information;

[0119] The number of bits occupied by the terminal wake-up indication information;

[0120] The number of bits of the terminal wake-up indication information associated with each group;

[0121] wake-up instruction information of the terminal;

[0122] identity information of the terminal;

[0123] Code points or bit information associated with functions other than wake-up.

[0124] The group information associated with the terminal may be group information indicating the group the terminal is in. If the wake-up information includes the group information, it indicates that the group the terminal is in is being woken up, or that the terminal wake-up instruction information is applied to the group the terminal is in. The group the terminal is in may be associated with one or more terminals.

[0125] For example, the network-side device configures the terminal with the group ID to which the terminal belongs or is associated or the code point corresponding to the group through high-layer signaling.

[0126] In some implementations, the group information associated with the terminal may be a code point associated with the terminal, or a code point associated with the group to which the terminal belongs.

[0127] In the embodiment of the present application, the group to which the terminal belongs may also be referred to as the group associated with the terminal.

[0128] The indication bit information associated with the group to which the terminal belongs may be an indication bit associated with the group to which the terminal belongs, such as a code point or a group identifier. For example, one indication bit is associated with one group.

[0129] The starting bit position information corresponding to the group in which the above-mentioned terminal is located can be the starting bit position information corresponding to the group in which the terminal is located in the WUS, which can be specifically shown in Figure 6, or the starting bit position information corresponding to the wake-up information, wherein the wake-up information is used to carry or indicate at least one of the group information and the terminal wake-up indication information.

[0130] The indication bit information associated with each of the above groups may be the indication bit information associated with multiple groups. By configuring the indication bit information associated with multiple groups, the terminal can obtain the indication bit information associated with the group switched to after switching the group, thereby reducing the number of configurations.

[0131] The starting bit position information corresponding to each of the above groups can be the starting bit position information corresponding to multiple groups. By configuring the starting bit position information corresponding to multiple groups, the terminal can obtain the starting bit position information corresponding to the group switched to after switching the group, thereby reducing the number of configurations.

[0132] The group number information carried by the WUS may be the total number of group information carried by the WUS, so that the terminal can obtain the group information of the group it is in in some way. For example, the group number information carried by the WUS is configured through network-side high-layer signaling or broadcast to all connected terminals or idle terminals.

[0133] In one embodiment, the wake-up information carried by the WUS is the wake-up information of the connected terminal carried by the WUS.

[0134] The total number of information bits carried by the WUS includes both bits used for wake-up and other indication bits, so that the terminal can quickly determine the configuration information.

[0135] For example, the network-side device indicates the starting position of the wake-up information bits carried by the WUS. In one embodiment, the payload information carried by the WUS is arranged as follows: wake-up information bits (which further include at least one of grouping information bits and terminal wake-up indication information) + other indication information bits (immediately following the wake-up information bits).

[0136] The number of bits of at least one of the grouping information and the terminal wake-up indication information carried by the above-mentioned WUS may be the total number of bits of at least one of the grouping information and the terminal wake-up indication information carried by the above-mentioned WUS, or referred to as the number of bits of the wake-up information, which is used to carry or indicate at least one of the grouping information and the terminal wake-up indication information. For example, the number of bits of at least one of the grouping information and the terminal wake-up indication information carried by the above-mentioned WUS can be expressed as X, X>0 (for example, X=8 bits), which facilitates the terminal to quickly obtain the grouping information or terminal wake-up indication information.

[0137] The number of bits occupied by the above group information can be expressed as Y, where Y>=0 (for example, Y=4 bits). This number of bits allows the terminal to quickly acquire the group information.

[0138] The number of bits occupied by the terminal wake-up indication information facilitates the terminal to quickly obtain the terminal wake-up indication information.

[0139] The number of bits of the terminal wake-up indication information associated with each of the above-mentioned groups may be the same as the number of bits of the terminal wake-up indication information associated with multiple groups, such as the number of bits of the terminal wake-up indication information associated with each group is Z bits, where Z>=0 (for example, Z=4 bits). This number of bits can facilitate the terminal to quickly obtain the terminal wake-up indication information.

[0140] The number of bits occupied by the terminal wake-up indication information is, for example, Z. In one embodiment, Z=XY.

[0141] In one embodiment, the number of bits occupied by the terminal wake-up indication information is the number of bits occupied by the terminal wake-up indication information associated with the single group. That is, each group must have its own associated number of bits occupied by the terminal wake-up indication information. For example, a WUS carries group information for two target groups. The two target groups are each associated with four terminal wake-up indication information. Therefore, the total number of terminal wake-up indication bits is 2*4=8 bits.

[0142] The wake-up instruction information of the terminal may be the wake-up instruction information associated with the terminal, so that the terminal can more accurately determine its own wake-up instruction information;

[0143] The identity information of the terminal may be an identifier of the terminal or a code point associated with the terminal.

[0144] The other functions other than wake-up are other functions other than wake-up that the WUS can indicate, such as activating or deactivating a semi-static first transmission. The first transmission can be a semi-static transmission, that is, in addition to carrying the above-mentioned wake-up information, the WUS can also indicate other functions other than wake-up. The code points or bit information associated with the other functions other than wake-up can be used to achieve that the WUS can also indicate the above-mentioned other functions, thereby improving the indication effect of the WUS.

[0145] In one embodiment, the other functions besides the above-mentioned wake-up include: secondary cell dormancy indication information (Scell ​​dormancy indication).

[0146] In one embodiment, the network side device can associate terminals with the same attributes or types with the same group according to the different types or attributes of the terminals, that is, group them into one group. For example, the network side device groups terminals whose low-power receiver type is OOK or supports OOK waveform low-power signals into one group through configuration, and groups terminals whose low-power receiver type is OFDM or supports OFDM waveform low-power signals into another group. In another embodiment, the network side device groups terminals with similar or identical data cycles and business models into the same group through configuration. The premise for the network side device to group may be that it can obtain the characteristics or type information of the terminal, or the business model information of the terminal.

[0147] In some embodiments, the network-side device may notify or configure the terminal of the code point information associated with the terminal or the wake-up indication bit information associated with the terminal, so that the terminal knows how to obtain its own wake-up information based on the received WUS. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the code point information associated with the terminal or the wake-up indication bit information associated with the terminal may be agreed upon by protocol.

[0148] As an optional implementation manner, when the WUS includes the group information and the terminal wake-up indication information, the terminal determines whether to be awakened based on at least one of the group information and the terminal wake-up indication information, including at least one of the following:

[0149] In a case where the target group indicated by the group information includes the group to which the terminal belongs, and the wake-up instruction information of the terminal in the terminal wake-up instruction information indicates to wake up the terminal, the terminal determines to be awakened;

[0150] In a case where the target group indicated by the group information includes the group where the terminal is located, and the terminal wake-up instruction information includes the identity information of the terminal, the terminal determines to be woken up;

[0151] The target group indicated by the group information includes the group to which the terminal belongs, and the wake-up instruction information of the terminal in the terminal wake-up instruction information indicates not to wake up the terminal, and the terminal determines that it is not woken up;

[0152] When the target group indicated by the group information includes the group where the terminal is located, and the terminal wake-up instruction information does not include the identity information of the terminal, the terminal determines that it is not awakened;

[0153] In a case where the target group indicated by the group information does not include the group where the terminal is located, the terminal determines that it is not awakened.

[0154] In this implementation, two-level indications can be implemented through group information and terminal wake-up indication information, which not only saves WUS overhead but also ensures that the granularity of the WUS wake-up indication is the terminal, thereby reducing the probability of terminal false wake-up.

[0155] As an optional implementation manner, when the WUS includes the group information, the terminal determining whether to be awakened based on at least one of the group information and the terminal awakening indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0156] When the target group indicated by the group information includes the group where the terminal is located, the terminal determines to be awakened;

[0157] In a case where the target group indicated by the group information does not include the group where the terminal is located, the terminal determines that it is not awakened.

[0158] In this implementation, the terminal can determine whether to be awakened only by carrying the packet information, thereby saving the WUS overhead.

[0159] As an optional implementation manner, when the WUS includes the terminal wake-up indication information, the terminal determines whether to be awakened based on at least one of the grouping information and the terminal wake-up indication information, including at least one of the following:

[0160] When the wake-up instruction information of the terminal in the terminal wake-up instruction information indicates to wake up the terminal, the terminal determines to be awakened;

[0161] In a case where the terminal wake-up indication information includes the identity information of the terminal, the terminal determines to be awakened;

[0162] When the wake-up indication information of the terminal in the terminal wake-up indication information indicates not to wake up the terminal, the terminal determines that it is not awakened;

[0163] In a case where the terminal wake-up indication information does not include the identity information of the terminal, the terminal determines that it is not awakened.

[0164] In this implementation, the terminal can determine whether to be awakened only by carrying the terminal awakening indication information, thereby saving WUS overhead, and can realize terminal granular awakening, further reducing the probability of the terminal being awakened by mistake.

[0165] As an optional implementation, some code points indicated in the WUS are used to indicate other functions besides wake-up.

[0166] Among them, other functions besides the above wake-up can be found in the above description and will not be described here in detail.

[0167] The partial code points indicated by the above-mentioned wake-up information may be the remaining code points of the wake-up information other than the above-mentioned group information or the above-mentioned terminal wake-up indication information. For example, since the network-side device is able to obtain the number of connected terminals that are currently accessing the cell and support WUS indication, when the number of such terminals is not sufficient for the group information, the network side may use the remaining code points to indicate the above-mentioned target. For example, two code points of the remaining code points may be used to indicate whether to activate or deactivate semi-static transmission. The usage of the remaining code points is not limited in the embodiments of this application.

[0168] In this implementation, since some code points indicated by the WUS are used to indicate functions other than wake-up, the indication effect of the WUS can be improved.

[0169] As an optional implementation manner, whether the monitoring of the target object is triggered includes at least one of the following:

[0170] Whether it is triggered to monitor the target object according to the target configuration.

[0171] Among them, the configuration agreed upon in the above protocol, configured on the network side or determined by the terminal.

[0172] In some implementations, when the target object includes a PDCCH, whether monitoring of the target object according to the target configuration is triggered includes at least one of the following:

[0173] Whether it is triggered to switch to the target bandwidth part (Bandwidth Part, BWP) to monitor the PDCCH;

[0174] Whether the target search space group is triggered to monitor the PDCCH;

[0175] The target configuration is used to configure at least one of the following:

[0176] The target BWP and the target search space group.

[0177] The monitoring of the PDCCH may be starting the PDCCH monitoring.

[0178] The target configuration may be configured to configure at least one of the following:

[0179] Switch to target BWP and apply target search space group;

[0180] Alternatively, the target configuration may include at least one of the following:

[0181] Information of target BWP and target search space group.

[0182] In some implementations, the WUS carries indication information of the target configuration, such as an indication of a target BWP or an indication of a target search space group. Alternatively, the target configuration may be pre-configured or agreed upon by a protocol.

[0183] In the above implementation, it is possible to determine whether to be triggered to perform PDCCH monitoring according to the target configuration or whether to be triggered to monitor the paging PDCCH based on the above wake-up information, thereby reducing the probability of the terminal being mistakenly triggered to monitor the PDCCH and saving power consumption of the terminal.

[0184] In an embodiment of the present application, a terminal monitors a WUS, which includes at least one of the following: group information and terminal wake-up indication information. The terminal determines whether to be awakened based on at least one of the group information and the terminal wake-up indication information. Because the wake-up information includes group information, wake-up can be performed at a group granularity to reduce the probability of the terminal being mistakenly awakened. Furthermore, because the wake-up information includes terminal wake-up indication information, wake-up can be performed at a terminal granularity to reduce the probability of the terminal being mistakenly awakened. Furthermore, when the wake-up information includes group information and terminal wake-up indication information, the probability of the terminal being mistakenly awakened can be reduced, and the two-level wake-up indication, namely, group information and terminal wake-up indication information, can save WUS resource overhead.

[0185] Please refer to FIG. 7 , which is a flowchart of a WUS sending method provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 7 , the method includes the following steps:

[0186] Step 701: The network side device sends a WUS to the terminal, where the WUS includes at least one of the following: grouping information and terminal wake-up indication information.

[0187] Optionally, when the WUS includes the group information and the terminal wake-up indication information, the terminal wake-up indication information is the terminal wake-up indication information associated with the target group indicated by the group information.

[0188] Optionally, the terminal wake-up indication information includes:

[0189] Wake-up indication information of at least one terminal; or

[0190] Identity information of at least one terminal.

[0191] Optionally, the group information includes indication information of at least one target group.

[0192] Optionally, the at least one target group is associated with one terminal or multiple terminals.

[0193] Optionally, the WUS carries the grouping information in the form of code points;

[0194] or,

[0195] The WUS carries the terminal wake-up indication information in a bitmap or code point manner.

[0196] Optionally, the packet information is indicated by scrambling a cyclic redundancy check CRC sequence of the WUS, or the packet information is indicated by protocol agreement or network configuration.

[0197] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0198] The network side device sends WUS-related configuration information to the terminal, where the configuration information includes at least one of the following:

[0199] Group information associated with the terminal;

[0200] Indication bit information associated with the group to which the terminal belongs;

[0201] The starting bit position information corresponding to the group to which the terminal belongs;

[0202] Indication bit information associated with each group;

[0203] The starting bit position information corresponding to each group;

[0204] Information about the number of packets carried by the WUS;

[0205] The total number of information bits carried by the WUS;

[0206] the number of bits of at least one of the grouping information and the terminal wake-up indication information carried by the WUS;

[0207] The number of bits occupied by the packet information;

[0208] The number of bits occupied by the terminal wake-up indication information;

[0209] The number of bits of the terminal wake-up indication information associated with each group;

[0210] wake-up instruction information of the terminal;

[0211] identity information of the terminal;

[0212] Code point information for functions other than wake-up.

[0213] Optionally, some code points indicated in the WUS are used to indicate other functions besides wake-up.

[0214] It should be noted that this embodiment is an implementation of the network side device corresponding to the embodiment shown in Figure 5. Its specific implementation can refer to the relevant description of the embodiment shown in Figure 5. In order to avoid repeated description, this embodiment will not be repeated.

[0215] The following uses an example in which WUS includes at least one of wake-up information, wake-up information indication group information, and terminal wake-up indication information to illustrate the method provided by the present application through multiple embodiments:

[0216] Example 1:

[0217] The wake-up information carried in the network side device configuration WUS includes group information and terminal wake-up indication information, wherein the terminal wake-up indication information is used to further instruct to wake up one or more terminals associated with the target group indicated by the group information.

[0218] For example, the wake-up information is 8 bits, 3 bits of which are used to indicate group information in the form of code points, and the remaining 5 bits are used to indicate which terminals in the current target group are to be woken up.

[0219] As shown in Table 2, each group can be associated with one code point. In another embodiment, each group can be associated with multiple code points. For example, group 1 is associated with two code points, one of which is used to indicate waking up group 1, and the other is used to indicate waking up all groups including group 1.

[0220] Table 2:

[0221] Based on Table 2, as shown in Table 3, 5 bits are used to wake up one or more terminals in a group using a bitmap method.

[0222] Table 3:

[0223] For one terminal, the 1-bit wake-up indication may have two code points: "0" and "1." "1" is used to indicate waking up the terminal, and "0" is used to indicate not waking up the terminal.

[0224] In addition, in another embodiment, as shown in the following table, a group includes only one terminal. In this case, it can be understood that the network configures a corresponding codepoint for a single terminal through a codepoint indication method. The terminal is awakened when it detects the codepoint associated with itself, and is not awakened when it detects other codepoints.

[0225] Table 2:

[0226] Before sending a WUS, the network-side device also configures at least one of the following information:

[0227] 1) Information about the group to which the terminal is located / associated;

[0228] For example, following the example above, the network configures terminals 1-5 to associate with group 1 via RRC. Terminals 6-10 associate with group 2, and so on. The 8-bit wake-up message can be used to wake up 8*5 terminals = 40 terminals. In one embodiment, the group information carried by the WUS only indicates one target group, meaning that a WUS will only wake up one or more terminals within a group. Waking up different groups requires sending multiple WUSs.

[0229] 2) Total number of groups;

[0230] For example, the number of groups is 8. It is understood that the total number of groups is determined by the number of bits occupied by the group information and the indication method. For example, if the group information occupies 3 bits and the code point indication method is used, then a maximum of 8 candidate groups can be indicated.

[0231] 3) The total number of bits X carried by the WUS, where X>0 (eg, X=8 bits).

[0232] According to an example, the total number of bits refers to the total number of bits used for the wake-up function. It is understandable that this case does not limit the situation where the WUS carries other indication information in addition to the wake-up information.

[0233] 4) The number of bits occupied by the packet information, Y, where Y>=0 (e.g., Y=3 bits);

[0234] That is, the number of bits used to indicate the target packet.

[0235] It is understandable that the fewer bits the network side allocates to the packet information, the fewer packets that can be indicated, and the more terminals associated with each packet.

[0236] In one embodiment, group information is indicated using a bitmap. For example, a three-bit group bitmap is used. Each bit is associated with a group. The group indication bit associated with each group is configured on the network side.

[0237] 5) Number of terminal wake-up indication bits Z, where Z>=0 (e.g., Z=5 bits);

[0238] The terminal wake-up indication bit number Z refers to the wake-up indication information with a wake-up granularity of a single terminal. For example, using a bitmap indication method can achieve simultaneous wake-up of multiple terminals in a group. It is understandable that a terminal wake-up indication can wake up one or more terminals.

[0239] According to an example, X is the total number of bits used for the wake-up function, and Z=XY.

[0240] 6) Information on the total number of terminals associated with each group.

[0241] 7) Terminal-associated wake-up indication information.

[0242] The terminal needs to know which wake-up indication bit is in the group it is associated with and determine its own wake-up indication information based on the indication bit. The upper layer indicates or associates the specific position of the start bit of its wake-up indication bit in the total bits of the WUS wake-up information for the terminal.

[0243] According to an example, the terminal knows which wake-up indication bit is in the group to which it is associated according to at least one of the following methods:

[0244] The bit position information of the wake-up indication information of the terminal configured by the network side device in the WUS.

[0245] Based on the above configuration information, the terminal's behavior and the usage of the above wake-up instructions are as follows:

[0246] In the case where the wake-up information includes group information and terminal wake-up instruction information, the terminal confirms whether it is awakened according to the instruction of the WUS, including:

[0247] The terminal determines, based on the grouping information, whether the target group indicated by the grouping information is the group to which the terminal belongs;

[0248] If it is not its own group, the terminal determines not to be woken up.

[0249] If it is its own group, the terminal determines its own wake-up indication information according to its associated wake-up indication bit;

[0250] If the wake-up indication information indicates wake-up, the terminal determines to be awakened.

[0251] If the wake-up indication information indicates not to wake up, the terminal is not woken up.

[0252] In this embodiment, the network device can group terminals with similar service distribution characteristics, such as those whose services arrive simultaneously or whose services arrive at the same periodic intervals, into a single group. Furthermore, the network can wake up one or more terminals using a bitmap indication within the group. This allows the network to reduce WUS transmission overhead by using group-based and terminal-level wakeup indication information, while ensuring that the WUS wakeup indication is granular to a single terminal, reducing the probability of false wakeups.

[0253] Example 2:

[0254] In this embodiment, the wake-up information includes grouping information.

[0255] In some implementations, the network side device may only configure group indications. For example, the network side uses all bits of the wake-up information for group indications. There are a total of 8 bits, and using the code point indication method, 2^8=256 candidate groups can be indicated. It can be understood that although it is called group indication, since the number of groups indicated is very large, the wake-up indication of a single terminal can be implemented, that is, there is actually only one terminal in some groups. At this time, the group indication can be regarded as terminal wake-up indication information. Each terminal has its own associated code point or group ID or terminal ID. The indication of the terminal ID can be implemented using the code point method with 8 bits as shown in Table 4:

[0256] Table 4:

[0257] This can achieve the maximum number of terminal wake-up indications, but at the same time, due to the use of code point indication method, each WUS can only wake up one terminal. If the network side device wants to wake up multiple terminals, it can only be achieved by sending multiple WUS.

[0258] In other implementations, since the network-side device is able to know the number of connected terminals currently accessing the cell and supporting WUS indication, if the number of such terminals does not meet the group indication bit requirement, the network side can configure an updated group indication bit or use the remaining code points to indicate other functions. For example, two of the remaining code points can be used to indicate whether to activate or deactivate semi-static transmission. This embodiment does not limit the use of the remaining code points.

[0259] For example, for terminal 1, the network configures the code point corresponding to its wake-up indication to be "00000000" or "00001000" or "11111111". When terminal 1 detects that the code point value of the wake-up indication information is one of the above, it is awakened.

[0260] Example 3:

[0261] In this embodiment, the wake-up information includes: wake-up instruction information of at least one terminal.

[0262] In some implementations, the network device can configure wake-up indication information for only at least one terminal. For example, the network uses all bits of the wake-up information to indicate the wake-up of at least one terminal. Using a bitmap indication method, eight bits are used to indicate the wake-up information of eight terminals. Because of the use of a bitmap indication method, each terminal has its own associated wake-up bit. Because there are only eight bits, the network can configure multiple terminals to wake up by associating them with the same wake-up indication bit. In other words, the wake-up indication information for at least one terminal can be understood as the wake-up indication information for at least one group.

[0263] For example, the higher layer indicates to the terminal the specific position of the starting bit of its wake-up indication bit within the total wake-up information bits of the WUS. For example, the total wake-up information bits of the WUS are b7, b6, ..., b0, a total of 8 bits. The network configures the starting bit of the wake-up indication for terminal 1 to be b0; the network configures the starting bit of the wake-up indication for terminal 2 to be b1; and the network configures the starting bit of the wake-up indication for terminal 9 to be b0. It can be understood that terminals 1 and 9 can share a single wake-up indication bit, achieving group wake-up. As shown in Table 5, the 8-bit bitmap method is used to wake up one or more terminals within a group.

[0264] Table 5:

[0265] This allows one or more terminals or groups to be woken up simultaneously.

[0266] Example 4:

[0267] In this embodiment, the wake-up related information includes wake-up instruction information of at least one terminal.

[0268] In some implementations, the network side device may implement the grouping indication and the terminal wake-up indication information by configuring the following information: wherein the grouping indication is implemented in an implicit manner.

[0269] Implicit way to indicate grouping method 1:

[0270] The network-side device configures the CRC of the scrambled WUS payload and uses different CRC scrambled payloads to implement packet indication. For example, as shown in Table 1 above, there are four 2-bit CRC scrambling sequences. Each sequence represents a packet. In addition, the network-side device configures the packet associated with each terminal. After receiving the WUS, the terminal determines whether the current WUS wakes up the packet associated with it based on the CRC scrambling sequence. In addition, the terminal further determines whether it is awakened in the currently implicitly indicated packet based on the wake-up indication information of at least one terminal carried in the WUS payload.

[0271] Implicit way to indicate grouping method 2:

[0272] The network device implements implicit group indication by configuring the starting bit position of different groups within the total wake-up indication bits carried by the WUS. As shown in Figure 6, the WUS carries a total of 8 bits of wake-up information. The network device configures the starting bit position of each of the two groups. This means that each group contains 4 bits. The WUS carries the wake-up indication information for both groups.

[0273] In one embodiment, under implicit or explicit group indication, the wake-up indication information of at least one terminal in each group is indicated by a code point. As shown in Table 6, the wake-up indication information of at least one terminal is indicated by a 3-bit code point to indicate the wake-up of one or more terminals. Each terminal corresponds to two code points, one for waking up only the terminal itself, and the other for waking up all terminals. The terminal will be awakened when it detects these two code points. In addition, it will not be awakened when it detects other code points. Among them, there is a special code point that can wake up all terminals.

[0274] Table 6:

[0275] In an embodiment of the present application, the network side can implement one-level or two-level indications through packet information or terminal granularity wake-up indications, thereby saving the overhead of WUS sending and ensuring that the granularity of the WUS wake-up indication is a single terminal, reducing the probability of false wake-up.
