For example, if the UE detects a WUS, it is determined that the UE needs to monitor the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH); or, if the UE does not detect a wakeup signal, it skips monitoring the PDCCH.

[0098] In some embodiments, for idle discontinuous reception (DRX) scenarios, the power saving signal may be a paging early indication (PEI). For example, the PEI may typically be configured before a paging occasion (PO). If the UE does not detect the power saving signal, the UE skips monitoring of the paging DCI. Alternatively, if the UE detects the power saving signal, the UE needs to monitor the paging DCI.

[0099] In some embodiments, a physical downlink control channel skipping (PDCCH skipping) mechanism is introduced to enhance connected UEs. For example, the PDCCH skipping mechanism is carried in downlink control information (DCI) to notify the UE to skip monitoring for a period of time or switch search space groups.

[0100] In some embodiments, regardless of the type of power-saving signal, the terminal's modem is required to detect the power-saving signal. Optionally, it is desirable to introduce a separate transceiver (low power wake-up receiver) to receive the power-saving signal, and the terminal's modem or main transceiver can only be awakened after the separate transceiver is awakened, otherwise the terminal's modem or main transceiver will remain in a deep sleep or off state.

[0101] In some embodiments, if the terminal leaves the low power wakeup signal (LP-WUS) listening state, its main transceiver will be awakened. However, since the main transceiver requires a certain amount of time (such as warm-up and synchronization) to actually receive data after being awakened, it is very likely that the PEI indication information will be missed. However, the UE needs to use the PEI monitoring status to determine the monitoring behavior of subsequent paging messages. Therefore, how to determine the missed PEI is a problem that needs to be solved.

[0102] In some embodiments, the UE may be a terminal, or the terminal may be a UE.

[0103] FIG2 is an interactive diagram of an information processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2 , the present disclosure embodiment relates to an information processing method for an information processing system 100, and the method includes:

[0104] Step S2101: The network device sends first information to the terminal.

[0105] In some embodiments, the terminal receives first information sent by the network device.

[0106] In some embodiments, the first information is used to instruct the terminal to determine the first operation based on the transceiver not detecting the first signal. Optionally, the first information is used to instruct: the terminal to determine the first operation based on the transceiver not detecting the first signal.

[0107] In some embodiments, the name of the first information is not limited, and it can be, for example, first indication information or power-saving signal monitoring indication.

[0108] In some embodiments, determining the first operation includes: monitoring the second signal, or not monitoring the second signal.

[0109] Optionally, the first information is used to instruct the terminal to determine whether to monitor the second signal based on the transceiver not monitoring the first signal.

[0110] In some embodiments, the transceiver includes a first transceiver and / or a second transceiver.

[0111] Optionally, the first transceiver is a main transceiver; the second transceiver is an auxiliary transceiver or a separate transceiver or a low-power transceiver.

[0112] Optionally, the power consumption of the first transceiver is greater than the power consumption of the second transceiver. The power consumption of the first transceiver being greater than the power consumption of the second transceiver may be: the power consumed by the first transceiver to receive and / or transmit information is greater than the power consumption consumed by the second transceiver to receive and / or transmit information. For example, the second transceiver consumes less power when decoding each signal than the first transceiver consumes when decoding the same signal.

[0113] Optionally, the first transceiver may also be a first receiver; and / or, the second transceiver may be a second receiver.

[0114] Optionally, the structure of the second transceiver is very simple compared to the structure of the first transceiver.

[0115] Optionally, the second transceiver is configured to receive a power saving signal, the power saving signal being used to wake up the first transceiver, and the power saving signal being used to trigger exiting an operating mode based on the second transceiver monitoring the power saving signal.

[0116] In some embodiments, the second signal may be used to wake up the first transceiver; and the first signal may be used to wake up the terminal.

[0117] Optionally, the first signal includes a low power consumption wake-up signal LP-WUS, and the second signal includes PEI. Exemplarily, if the second transceiver of the terminal does not monitor the LP-WUS, it determines whether to continue monitoring the PEI.

[0118] Optionally, the first signal includes a PEI, and the second signal includes a PO. For example, if the first transceiver of the terminal is awakened by the LP-WUS, it determines whether to continue monitoring for the PO based on the first transceiver not detecting the PEI. Because waking up the main transceiver takes time, it is likely that the PEI cannot be properly received or detected at this time. Whether the PO is monitored at this time depends on the PEI monitoring result. However, if the PEI cannot be monitored at this time, it is necessary to determine whether to monitor subsequent POs through protocol agreement or network instructions.

[0119] Optionally, the first signal includes an LP-WUS, and the second signal includes a DCP or a PDCCH. Exemplarily, if the second transceiver of the terminal does not monitor the LP-WUS, it determines whether to monitor the DCP or the PDCCH. Here, the PDCCH includes a PDCCH for data scheduling in a connected state, and may also include monitoring of a PEI or PO for paging scheduling in an idle state.

[0120] Optionally, the second signal is associated with the first signal.

[0121] Optionally, the name of the first signal is not limited, and it may be, for example, a first wake-up signal, a first power-saving signal, or a first energy-saving signal.

[0122] Optionally, the name of the second signal is not limited, and it may be, for example, a second wake-up signal, a second power-saving signal, or a second energy-saving signal.

[0123] In some embodiments, not monitoring the first signal may include: not monitoring the monitoring time of the first signal, or monitoring the monitoring time of the first signal but failing to detect the first signal.

[0124] In some embodiments, the first information is one or more bits, or the first information includes one or more fields; different bits or different fields are used to indicate different first operations; or different values ​​of the same at least one bit or different values ​​of the same field are used to indicate different first operations.

[0125] Exemplarily, the first information includes a first field and a second field; the first field is used to indicate whether to monitor LP-WUS and the second field is used to indicate whether to monitor PEI; for example, if the first field is the first value, it is used to indicate monitoring LP-WUS, or, the first field is the second value, it is used to indicate not monitoring LP-WUS; for example, if the second field is the first value, it is used to indicate monitoring PEI, or, the second field is the second value, it is used to indicate not monitoring PEI.

[0126] Exemplarily, the first information is at least one bit, for example, 4 bits. When the 4 bits have a first value, they are used to indicate monitoring of LP-UWS; or, when the 4 bits have a second value, they are used to indicate not monitoring of LP-WUS; or, when the 4 bits have a third value, they are used to indicate monitoring of PO; or, when the 4 bits have a fourth value, they are used to indicate not monitoring of PO; and so on.

[0130] Optionally, the second information is used by the terminal to determine the first operation when the second transceiver does not monitor the LP-WUS.

[0131] Optionally, the second information is used to instruct the second transceiver of the terminal to start monitoring the DCP when the second transceiver does not monitor the LP-WUS.

[0132] Optionally, the second information is used to instruct the second transceiver of the terminal not to start monitoring the DCP when the second transceiver does not monitor the LP-WUS.

[0133] Optionally, the second information is used to instruct the second transceiver of the terminal to start monitoring the PDCCH when the second transceiver does not monitor the LP-WUS.

[0134] Optionally, the second information is used to instruct the second transceiver of the terminal not to start monitoring the PDCCH when the second transceiver does not monitor the LP-WUS.

[0135] Optionally, the name of the second information is not limited, and it can be, for example, second indication information, or a monitoring indication of DCP or PDCCH, etc.

[0136] In some embodiments, the second information may be one or more bits, or the second information includes one or more fields; different bits or different fields are used to indicate different first operations when the second transceiver of the terminal does not monitor LP-WUS, or different values ​​of the same at least one bit or different values ​​of the same field are used to indicate different first operations when the second transceiver of the terminal does not monitor LP-WUS.

[0157] Optionally, the first transceiver is awakened and misses the monitoring time for monitoring PEI. Exemplarily, if the first transceiver of the terminal does not monitor the monitoring time for PEI during the awakening process, it will start monitoring PO.

[0158] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the first operation based on the second transceiver failing to detect the first signal during the cell reselection process.

Here, the protocol stipulates the following: the second transceiver of the terminal determines to monitor PO when failing to monitor LP-WUS during cell reselection.

[0165] In some embodiments, when the terminal is in a connected state, based on the second transceiver not monitoring the LP-WUS, the terminal determines the first operation according to the second information sent by the network device.

[0166] Optionally, the connection state may be a radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) connection state.

[0250] In some embodiments, the first operation includes: monitoring the second signal, or not monitoring the second signal.

[0251] In some embodiments, the first signal includes LP-WUS and the second signal includes PEI; or, the first signal includes PEI and the second signal includes PO; or, the first signal includes LP-WUS and the second signal includes DCP or PDCCH.

[0252] In some embodiments, the transceiver includes a first transceiver or a second transceiver; the first information is used to indicate: the terminal determines the first operation based on the first transceiver not detecting the first signal during the wake-up process; and / or the terminal determines the first operation based on the second transceiver not detecting the first signal during the cell reselection process.

[0253] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate that the terminal determines to monitor the PO based on the first transceiver not monitoring the PEI during the wake-up process.

[0254] In some embodiments, the first transceiver is awakened by the LP-WUS monitored by the second transceiver, or the first transceiver is awakened by an uplink data transmission.

[0255] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate: the terminal determines to monitor PEI based on the fact that the second transceiver does not monitor LP-WUS during the cell reselection process; and / or the terminal determines to monitor PO based on the fact that the second transceiver does not monitor LP-WUS during the cell reselection process.

[0256] In some embodiments, the transceiver includes a second transceiver; the first information is used to indicate that the terminal in the connected state determines the first operation according to the second information sent by the network device based on the second transceiver not monitoring the LP-WUS.

[0257] In some embodiments, the method further includes: sending second information to the terminal, wherein the second information is used to indicate one of the following: starting to monitor the DCP; starting to monitor the PDCCH; not starting to monitor the DCP; and not starting to monitor the PDCCH.

[0259] The present disclosure relates to an information processing method, which includes:

[0260] In some embodiments, the protocol stipulates or the network instructs the terminal's transceiver whether to monitor a subsequent second signal if it fails to monitor the first signal.

[0261] Optionally, the transceiver may be a first transceiver (for example, a main transceiver) and a second transceiver (for example, an auxiliary transceiver or a low-power transceiver) possessed by the terminal.

[0262] Optionally, the first signal is a first power saving signal (for example, LP-WUS), and the second signal is a second power saving signal (for example, PEI).

[0263] Optionally, the first signal is PEI, and the second signal is PO associated with the first signal.

[0264] Optionally, the first signal is LP-WUS, and the second signal is DCP or PDCCH.

[0265] Optionally, failure to monitor the first signal may mean failure to monitor the first signal monitoring moment; or failure to monitor the first signal may mean monitoring the first signal monitoring moment but failure to detect the first signal.

[0266] In some embodiments, the protocol stipulates or the network indicates that if the transceiver of the terminal fails to monitor the first signal, it will continue to monitor the associated second signal.

[0267] Optionally, the network indication refers to an information indication sent by a network device; for example, the network device may be the first information sent by the network device in the previous embodiment for indication.

[0268] In some embodiments, the protocol stipulates or the network indicates that if the transceiver of the terminal fails to monitor the first signal, it will no longer continue to monitor the associated second signal.

[0269] In some embodiments, the protocol stipulates or the network indicates whether the first transceiver of the terminal fails to monitor the power saving signal (PEI) at the monitoring moment during the wake-up process (herein, the monitoring moment is missed), and whether to monitor the subsequent PO. Because waking up the main transceiver takes time, that is, it needs to be powered on and synchronized, it is likely that the PEI signal cannot be normally received or monitored at this time. Whether the PO is monitored at this time depends on the monitoring result of the PEI. However, if the PEI cannot be normally monitored at this time, it is necessary to regulate whether to monitor the subsequent PO through protocol agreement or network instructions.

[0270] Optionally, the first transceiver misses the monitoring moment of the PEI due to being woken up.

[0271] Optionally, the reason why the first transceiver is awakened may be that the second transceiver receives an LP-WUS signal to wake it up.

[0272] Optionally, the reason why the first transceiver is woken up is that the terminal has uplink data transmission.

[0273] Optionally, at a monitoring moment when the first transceiver of the terminal fails to monitor the power saving signal (PEI) during the wake-up process, it will start monitoring the subsequent PO.

[0274] Exemplarily, if the UE is unable to monitor the PEI occasion (ie all valid PDCCH monitoring occasions for PEI) corresponding to its PO, eg during wake up by LP-WUS, the UE monitors the associated PO according to clause 7.1.

[0275] In some embodiments, the protocol stipulates or the network instructs the second transceiver of the terminal whether to monitor the subsequent PEI / PO at the monitoring moment when it fails to monitor the power saving signal (LP-WUS) during the cell reselection process.

[0276] Optionally, at the monitoring moment when the second transceiver of the terminal fails to monitor the power saving signal (LP-WUS) during the cell reselection process, it will continue to start monitoring the subsequent PEI or PO.

[0277] Exemplarily, if the UE is unable to monitor the LP-WUS occasion (ie all valid MO for LP-WUS), eg during cell re-selection, the UE monitors the associated PEI / PO.

[0278] In some embodiments, the protocol stipulates or the network indicates whether, for a connected terminal, the terminal's second transceiver initiates subsequent monitoring of the DCP or PDCCH if it fails to monitor the LP-WUS. The PDCCH includes the PDCCH used for data scheduling in the connected state and may also include monitoring of the PEI or PO used for paging scheduling in the idle state.

[0279] Optionally, the network uses a display indication to indicate whether the terminal is awakened or not. Optionally, the display indication can be the content indicated by the second information sent by the network device in the previous embodiment.

[0280] Optionally, when the second transceiver of the terminal fails to monitor the LP-WUS, it starts monitoring the subsequent DCP or PDCCH according to the network instruction. Optionally, the network instruction can be the content indicated by the second information sent by the network device in the previous embodiment.

[0281] Optionally, after the terminal does not detect LP-WUS, it determines whether to periodically wake up the terminal for PDCCH monitoring according to the instruction of the network device. Exemplarily, for a connected terminal, if the LP-WUS configuration is provided to the UE and the UE does not detect LP-WUS, the network indication of waking up or not is used to indicate whether the UE may not start or whether the UE shall start the DRX duration timer (drx-onDurationTimer) for the next DRX cycle (If a UE is provided LP-WUS configurations and the UE does not detect LP-WUS.if the UE is provided WakeupOrNot,the UE is indicated by WakeupOrNot whether the UE may not start or whether the UE shall start the drx-onDurationTimer for the next DRX cycle). The UE is the terminal.

[0282] Optionally, for an idle terminal, after the terminal does not detect LP-WUS, it determines whether to periodically wake up the terminal for PEI or PO monitoring according to the instruction of the network device. For example, if the LP-WUS configuration is provided to the UE and the UE does not detect LP-WUS, the network indication of waking up or not is used to indicate whether the UE can or should not start or start PO or PEI monitoring. The PO or PEI can be the PO or PEI of the next DRX monitoring cycle. The UE is the terminal.

[0283] Here, if the terminal does not detect LP-WUS for a long time, it can also wake up periodically through this mechanism to avoid missing messages sent by the network.

[0284] Optionally, if the network indication does not provide the network display indication of waking up or not waking up, the default behavior is followed; that is, the second transceiver of the terminal fails to monitor LP-WUS, that is, subsequently starts or does not start monitoring of DCP or PDCCH.

[0285] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, some or all of the steps and their optional implementations may be arbitrarily combined with some or all of the steps in other embodiments, and may also be arbitrarily combined with the optional implementations of other embodiments.
