[0101] FIG1 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of an information processing system 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG1 , the information processing system 100 may include: a terminal 101 and a network device 102 .

[0102] In some embodiments, the network device 102 may include at least one of an access network device and a core network device.

[0103] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 includes, for example, a mobile phone, a wearable device, an Internet of Things (IOT) device or terminal, a car with communication function, a smart car, a tablet computer (Pad), a computer with wireless transceiver function, a virtual reality (VR) terminal device, an augmented reality (AR) terminal device, a wireless terminal device in industrial control, a wireless terminal device in self-driving, a wireless terminal device in remote medical surgery, a wireless terminal device in a smart grid, a wireless terminal device in transportation safety, a wireless terminal device in a smart city, and at least one of a wireless terminal device in a smart home, but is not limited thereto.

In this case, the interfaces between or within the access network devices involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be transformed into internal interfaces of the Open RAN, and the processes and information interactions between these internal interfaces can be implemented through software or programs.

[0106] In some embodiments, the access network device can be composed of a centralized unit (CU) and a distributed unit (DU), where the CU can also be called a control unit. 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.

[0107] In some embodiments, the core network device may be a device including a first device, a second device, etc., or may be a plurality of devices or a device group, each including all or part of the first device and the second device. The first device and the second device may be network elements; the network element may be virtual or physical.

[0108] It can be understood that the information processing 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 provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure. Ordinary technicians in this field can know that with the evolution of system architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0109] The following embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to the information processing system 100 shown in FIG1 , or a portion thereof, but are not limited thereto. The entities shown in FIG1 are illustrative only. The information processing system may include all or a portion of the entities shown in FIG1 , or may include other entities outside of FIG1 . The number and form of the entities may be arbitrary. The connection relationships between the entities are illustrative only. The entities may be connected or disconnected, and the connection may be in any manner, including direct or indirect, wired or wireless.

[0110] 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 communication methods, and next-generation systems based on and extending these methods. Furthermore, multiple systems may be combined (for example, a combination of LTE or LTE-A with 5G).

[0111] In some embodiments, a power saving signal is introduced for a connected UE; the power saving signal may be a wakeup signal or downlink control information for power saving (DCP). The WUS is a low-power detection signal. 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.

[0112] 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.

[0113] 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.

[0114] 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 or a 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 or low-power wake-up receiver is awakened, otherwise the terminal's modem or main transceiver will remain in a deep sleep or off state.

[0115] In some embodiments, a relaxation mechanism for RLM is implemented. Specifically, for UEs that meet the relaxation criteria (stationary and / or in good channel conditions), the RLM relaxation mechanism may be implemented. For example, the interval between each periodic measurement of the Radio Link Monitoring Reference Signal (RLM-RS) by the UE may be lengthened.

[0116] In some embodiments, a BFD relaxation mechanism may be implemented for UEs that meet the relaxation criteria (stationary and / or in good channel conditions). For example, the UE may periodically measure the length of each corresponding serving beam.

[0117] When a terminal enters the LP-WUS listening state, because the primary transceiver is not listening for data, RLM or BFD can be relaxed. Therefore, compared to the previous threshold decision method, a new triggering method has been added. This method is simpler than the previous threshold decision method. Consequently, the terminal does not need to perform the original measurement and evaluation process, reducing terminal evaluation overhead. A similar method can be used to relax RRM measurements in the non-connected state.

[0118] For connected terminals, relaxation of RRM measurements is currently implemented by the base station, which instructs the UE on measurement targets. However, for a terminal in the LP-WUS listening state, after its main transceiver is turned off, it cannot monitor the PDCCH and cannot receive the relaxation instruction from the base station. Therefore, frequent RRM measurements are unnecessary in the LP-WUS listening state.

[0119] In order to solve the above problems, a new measurement relaxation method for RRM / RLM / BFD is provided.

[0120] In some embodiments, the UE may be a terminal, or the terminal may be a UE.

[0153] Optionally, the first expansion coefficient, the second expansion coefficient, the third expansion coefficient, the fourth expansion coefficient and the fifth expansion coefficient may be at least partially the same or at least partially different or may be all the same or all different. Exemplarily, the first expansion coefficient is greater than the second expansion coefficient.

[0154] In some embodiments, the expansion factor is different for different operating frequencies, and / or the expansion factor is different for different DRX cycles, and / or the expansion factor is different for different SSB cycles, and / or the expansion factor is different for different CSI-RS cycles. Here, the expansion factor is different for different operating frequencies, and / or for different DRX cycles, and / or for different SSB cycles, and / or for different CSI-RS cycles, and may be indicated by a measurement relaxation mode, indicated by first information, agreed upon by a protocol, or determined by a terminal. The expansion factor may be a first expansion factor, a second expansion factor, a third expansion factor, a fourth expansion factor, or a fifth expansion factor.

[0155] Exemplarily, the operating frequency refers to an operating frequency range; for example, the operating frequency includes a first frequency range and / or a second frequency range; the first frequency range may be frequency range 1 (FR1), and the second frequency range may be frequency range 2 (FR2). Of course, in other embodiments, the operating frequency may be any other frequency or frequency range.

[0157] Exemplarily, the size of the DRX period is inversely correlated with the size of the expansion factor corresponding to the DRX period. For example, the DRX period includes a first DRX period or a second DRX period. If the first DRX period is greater than the second DRX period, the expansion factor corresponding to the first DRX period is less than the expansion factor corresponding to the second DRX period. For example, the first DRX period is 640 milliseconds and the second DRX period is 320 milliseconds; then the expansion factor corresponding to the first DRX period can be 1.5, and the expansion factor corresponding to the second DRX period is 2.

[0158] Exemplarily, the size of the SSB period is inversely correlated with the size of the expansion factor corresponding to the SSB period. For example, the SSB period includes a first SSB period or a second SSB period. If the first SSB period is greater than the second SSB period, the expansion factor corresponding to the first SSB period is less than the expansion factor corresponding to the second SSB period. For example, the first SSB period is 160 milliseconds and the second SSB period is 80 milliseconds; then the expansion factor corresponding to the first SSB period can be 1.5, and the expansion factor corresponding to the second SSB period is 2.

[0159] In some embodiments, the expansion factor is the same for different operating frequencies, and / or the expansion factor is the same for different DRX periods, and / or the expansion factor is the same for different SSB periods.

[0160] Exemplarily, the size of the expansion factor can be related to max(DRX period, SSB period);

[0161] Exemplarily, the size of the expansion factor can be related to max(DRX period, CSI-RS period);

[0162] Exemplarily, for the SSB-based RLM evaluation period under FR1, when max(TDRX, TSSB) ≤ 40 ms, the relaxation factor in the existing protocol is 4. Based on the conditions described in this case, the relaxation factor can take a value greater than 4; when 40 ms < Max(TDRX, TSSB) ≤ 80 ms, the relaxation factor in the existing protocol is 2. Based on the conditions described in this case, the relaxation factor value can be greater than 2.

[0163] For example, for the SSB-based RLM evaluation period under FR1, in the existing protocol, relaxation measurement is only performed when smax(TDRX,TSSB)≤80ms. Based on the conditions described in this case, the applicable period of relaxation measurement can be wider, that is, it can be greater than 80ms. For example, relaxation measurement can be performed when max(TDRX,TSSB)≤640ms.

[0164] Similarly, the above method can be applied to CSI-RS-based RLM evaluation period, SSB-based BFD evaluation period, CSI-RS-based BFD evaluation period, etc. under FR1 or FR2.

[0189] For example, the change can be the range in which the signal strength increases or decreases per unit time. For example, a change from 10 decibels (dB) to 20dB in 1 second is smaller than a change from 10dB to 15dB in 1 second.

[0190] Exemplarily, if the second signal strength of the power signal detected by the second transceiver changes within the second time range to be less than or equal to the fourth threshold, the trigger condition when the terminal is in the first state is: the first transceiver detects that the first signal strength of the power signal changes within the first time range to be greater than or equal to the third threshold; wherein the first time range is greater than the second time range, and / or the third threshold is less than or equal to the fourth threshold.
