Communication method, device, terminal, network equipment, communication system, storage medium Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of wireless communications, and in particular to a communication method, apparatus, terminal, network equipment, communication system, storage medium, and computer program product. Background Art
[0002] In a communication system, in order to reduce the power consumption of the terminal, a separate low-power transceiver can be set in addition to the main transceiver in the terminal. When the main transceiver is in sleep mode, the low-power transceiver can receive low-power signals. In this way, the power consumption of the terminal can be reduced.

In this case, the interfaces within the 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.
[0115] In some embodiments, the network device 102 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 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.
[0116] In some embodiments, the network device 102 may be one device, or multiple devices or a device group. The network device 102 may be virtual or physical.
[0117] It can be understood that the communication system described in the embodiment of the present disclosure is for the purpose of more clearly illustrating the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure, and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure. Ordinary technicians in this field can know that with the evolution of the system architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is also applicable to similar technical problems.
[0118] The following embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to the communication system 100 shown in Figure 1, or a portion thereof, but are not limited thereto. The entities shown in Figure 1 are illustrative only. The communication system may include all or part of the entities shown in Figure 1, or may include other entities outside of Figure 1. The number and form of the entities may be arbitrary. The connection relationship between the entities is illustrative only. The entities may be connected or disconnected, and the connection may be in any manner, including direct or indirect, wired or wireless.
[0119] 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).
[0120] In a communication system, in order to reduce the power consumption of the terminal, in addition to the main transceiver, a separate low-power transceiver, namely LP-WUR, can be set in the terminal. When the main transceiver is in a dormant state, the LP-WUR can receive a low-power signal. In this way, the power consumption of the terminal can be reduced. LP-WUR can be divided into two categories. The first type of LP-WUR supports both low power synchronization signal (LP-SS) and primary synchronization signal (PSS) / secondary synchronization signal (SSS). The second type of LP-WUR only supports LP-SS. Correspondingly, the terminal can also have two types. The first type of terminal may include a main transceiver and a first type of LP-WUR. The second type of terminal may include a main transceiver and a second type of LP-WUR.
[0121] In practical applications, differences in reception sensitivity are inevitable between the first-class LP-WUR, the second-class LP-WUR, and the primary transceiver. For example, the second-class LP-WUR may have lower sensitivity than the first-class LP-WUR. Another example is that the first-class LP-WUR and the second-class LP-WUR may have lower sensitivity than the primary transceiver. Therefore, a second-class terminal equipped with a second-class LP-WUR needs to be closer to the base station, while a first-class terminal equipped with a first-class LP-WUR can have a wider operating range.
[0122] On the one hand, different thresholds need to be used to evaluate the signal measurement results of these two types of LP-WUR. On the other hand, the sensitivity differences between different types of transceivers need to be compensated when evaluating the measurement results.
[0123] Therefore, how to configure thresholds for terminals with different categories of LP-WUR is an urgent problem to be solved.

For example, the terminal 101 may add or subtract the offset from the determination parameter for the signal strength obtained by measuring the first signal for the second LP-WUR in the second parameter set to obtain the determination parameter for the signal strength obtained by measuring the first signal for the first LP-WUR in the first parameter set.
[0189] In some embodiments, there may be an offset between the determination parameter for the signal strength change obtained by measuring the first signal for the first LP-WUR in the first parameter set and the determination parameter for the signal strength change obtained by measuring the first signal for the second LP-WUR in the second parameter set. In one example, the terminal 101 may determine the determination parameter for the signal strength change obtained by measuring the first signal for the first LP-WUR in the first parameter set based on the determination parameter for the signal strength change obtained by measuring the first signal for the second LP-WUR in the second parameter set. For example, the terminal 101 may add or subtract the offset from the determination parameter for the signal strength change obtained by measuring the first signal for the second LP-WUR in the second parameter set to obtain the determination parameter for the signal strength change obtained by measuring the first signal for the first LP-WUR in the first parameter set.
[0190] It can be understood that the judgment parameters for the signal strength obtained by the main transceiver measuring the second signal and the judgment parameters for the change in signal strength obtained by the main transceiver measuring the second signal in the first parameter set and the judgment parameters for the signal strength obtained by the main transceiver measuring the second signal and the judgment parameters for the change in signal strength obtained by the main transceiver measuring the second signal in the second parameter set can be respectively the same.
[0191] In some embodiments, there may be an offset between two decision parameters in the first parameter set.
[0192] In some embodiments, the determination parameter for the signal strength obtained by measuring the second signal for the first LP-WUR may be offset from the determination parameter for the signal strength obtained by measuring the second signal for the master transceiver. For example, the determination parameter for the signal strength obtained by measuring the second signal for the first LP-WUR may be equal to the determination parameter for the signal strength obtained by measuring the second signal for the master transceiver plus the offset. For example, the determination parameter for the signal strength obtained by measuring the second signal for the first LP-WUR may be equal to the determination parameter for the signal strength obtained by measuring the second signal for the master transceiver minus the offset.
[0193] In some embodiments, the determination parameter for the signal strength change obtained by measuring the second signal for the first LP-WUR may be offset from the determination parameter for the signal strength change obtained by measuring the second signal for the master transceiver. For example, the determination parameter for the signal strength change obtained by measuring the second signal for the first LP-WUR may be equal to the determination parameter for the signal strength change obtained by measuring the second signal for the master transceiver plus the offset. For example, the determination parameter for the signal strength change obtained by measuring the second signal for the first LP-WUR may be equal to the determination parameter for the signal strength change obtained by measuring the second signal for the master transceiver minus the offset.

In one example, the first parameter set included in the first information may include a determination parameter for the signal strength obtained by measuring the second signal for the first LP-WUR. In this case, the terminal 101 may determine the determination parameter for the change in the signal strength obtained by measuring the second signal for the master transceiver based on the determination parameter and the offset of the signal strength obtained by measuring the second signal for the first LP-WUR. In one example, the first parameter set included in the first information may include a determination parameter for the signal strength obtained by measuring the second signal for the master transceiver. In this case, the terminal 101 may determine the determination parameter for the signal strength obtained by measuring the second signal for the first LP-WUR based on the determination parameter and the offset of the signal strength obtained by measuring the second signal for the master transceiver.

[0287] Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present disclosure are exemplarily described through specific implementation methods.
[0288] In some embodiments, because different types of terminals have different types of transceivers, and different types of transceivers have different receiving sensitivities, it is necessary to consider such sensitivity differences and compensate for them when evaluating measurement results.

[0290] In some cases, the evaluation of measurement results can be used by the terminal to determine whether to enter or exit a predetermined state, such as the first state. Therefore, the conditions for determining whether to enter a predetermined state can be defined for different types of terminals. In this case, differences in receive sensitivity between different types of transceivers need to be taken into account.
[0291] In some embodiments, conditions may be defined for determining whether a type 1 terminal (ie, a first type of terminal) or a type 2 terminal (ie, a second type of terminal) is in a first state (ie, the first status) or leaves.
[0292] In some embodiments, the first state is a state in which the terminal operates using an independent transceiver (ie, LP-WUR), such as an LP-WUS listening state.
[0293] In some embodiments, the type 1 terminal is a terminal that supports the first transceiver LP-WUR (ie, the first LP-WUR) of type 1. In some embodiments, the type 2 terminal is a terminal that supports the first transceiver LP-WUR of type 2 (ie, the second LP-WUR).
[0294] In some embodiments, a Type 1 terminal determines whether it can be in the first state based on parameter set 1 (i.e., the first parameter set). In some embodiments, a Type 2 terminal determines whether it can be in the first state based on parameter set 2 (i.e., the second parameter set).
[0295] In some embodiments, both parameter set 1 and parameter set 2 may include at least one of the following: a first part (part1) of parameters (i.e., parameters or thresholds used for determining the measurement results of the first transceiver); a second part (part2) of parameters (i.e., parameters or thresholds used for determining the measurement results of the second transceiver).
[0296] Here is an embodiment (embodiment 1) of determining that a type 2 terminal is in the first state using parameter set 2.
[0297] In some embodiments, the LP-WUR detects that the signal strength of a low-power signal (such as LP-SS), such as RSRP, RSRQ, etc., is higher than a certain threshold 1 (part1 parameter or threshold); and / or detects that the signal strength change of a low-power signal (such as LP-SS) is lower than a certain threshold 2 within a time T (where the relevant decision parameter or threshold is the part1 parameter); and / or, the main transceiver detects that the signal strength of the main transceiver signal (such as PSS / SSB / CSI-RS), such as RSRP, RSRQ, etc., is higher than a certain threshold 1; and / or detects that the signal strength change of the main transceiver signal (such as PSS / SSB / CSI-RS) is lower than a certain threshold 2 within a time T (where the relevant decision parameter or threshold is the part2 parameter).
[0298] Here, an embodiment (embodiment 2) is provided for determining that a type 1 terminal is in the first state using parameter set 1.
[0299] In some embodiments, LP-WUR-detects that the signal strength of a low-power signal (such as LP-SS), such as RSRP, RSRQ, etc., is higher than a certain threshold 1 (part1 parameter or threshold); and / or, it is detected that the signal strength change of a low-power signal (such as LP-SS) is lower than a certain threshold 2 within a time T (wherein the relevant decision parameter is the part1 parameter or threshold); and / or, LP-WUR-detects that the signal strength of PSS / SSS, such as RSRP, RSRQ, etc., is higher than a certain threshold 1 (part1 parameter or threshold); and / or, it is detected that the signal strength change of PSS / SSS is lower than a certain threshold 2 within a time T; (wherein the relevant decision parameter is the part1 parameter); and / or, the main transceiver detects that the signal strength of the main transceiver signal (such as PSS / SSB / CSI-RS), such as RSRP, RSRQ, etc., is higher than a certain threshold 1; and / or, it is detected that the signal strength change of the main transceiver signal (such as PSS / SSB / CSI-RS) is lower than a certain threshold 2 within a time T (wherein the relevant decision parameter or threshold is the part2 parameter).
[0300] In some embodiments, there is a protocol-agreed relationship between the part1 parameters of the parameter 1 set and the part1 parameters of the parameter 2 set (ie, there is an offset relationship).
[0301] For example, when comparing the same measurement signal, such as when both LP-SS signals are measured by the first transceiver, the network may notify only one set of parameters (which may be parameter set 1 or parameter set 2) as a comparison threshold, such as parameter set 1. In this case, a type 1 terminal determines whether it can enter the first state based on parameter set 1. A type 2 terminal first determines parameter set 2 based on parameter set 1, and then determines whether it can enter the first state based on whether parameter set 2 satisfies the requirements (in a preferred embodiment, the network only provides one set of parameters).
[0302] In some embodiments, the parameters in parameter set 2 can be based on the parameters in parameter set 1 by subtracting an offset (for example, the threshold for good signal quality can be subtracted by x dB, which means that type 2 terminals are more likely to meet the conditions because type 2 terminals are not sensitive enough).
[0303] In some embodiments, the parameters in the parameter 1 set may be offset based on the parameters in the parameter 2 set (for example, the threshold for determining low mobility may be increased by y dB, which means that a type 2 terminal is more likely to meet the conditions even when moving, i.e., the conditions are more relaxed).
[0304] In some embodiments, this offset can be positive or negative, with the preferred embodiment being an integer.
[0305] In some embodiments, for the measurement results of the first transceiver, the type 1 terminal and the type 2 terminal are in the decision process, and the type 1 terminal or the type 2 terminal adds or subtracts an offset value based on the measured signal (mainly to compensate for the difference in transceiver sensitivity).
[0306] In this case, the network only needs to provide a set of parameters (thresholds) for different types of terminals, while other terminals can obtain the corresponding parameters (thresholds) after making offsets according to the protocol agreement. In this way, the network signaling overhead can be reduced.
[0307] In some embodiments, the terminal itself may compensate for the measurement results in advance during the evaluation of the measurement results, taking into account the differences in transceiver sensitivity.
[0308] In some embodiments, a Type 1 terminal may add an offset (z dB) to the measured signal and compare it with the parameters configured by the network to determine whether the conditions are met (this means that the Type 1 terminal needs to compensate for insufficient sensitivity before reaching the threshold, that is, only terminals closer to the base station can enter the LP-WUS listening state).
[0309] For example, assume that both a Type 1 terminal and a Type 2 terminal have LP-WUS transceivers. The Type 1 terminal has a low-power transceiver (i.e., a first LP-WUR) that can monitor both LP-SS and PSS / SS, while the Type 2 terminal has a low-power transceiver (i.e., a second LP-WUR) that can only monitor LP-SS. In this case, if it is necessary to measure the LP-SS signal for comparison with a specific threshold, the Type 2 terminal's receiver sensitivity can be considered lower. Therefore, an offset (z dB) can be added to the measurement result obtained by the Type 2 terminal through the second LP-WUR as compensation. The compensated measurement result is then compared with the parameters configured by the network to determine whether the conditions are met. However, the Type 1 terminal does not need to perform such compensation.
[0310] For example, assume that both a Type 1 terminal and a Type 2 terminal need to measure and determine the PSS / SSS. The Type 1 terminal uses a low-power transceiver (i.e., the first LP-WUR) that can monitor PSS / SSS for measurement, while the Type 2 terminal uses a primary transceiver that monitors PSS / SSS for measurement, rather than a low-power transceiver. In this case, if the PSS / SSS measurement results of the Type 1 and Type 2 terminals need to be compared with a specific threshold, the lower receiver sensitivity of the Type 1 terminal can be taken into account. In this case, an offset (z dB) can be added to the measurement result as compensation, and the compensated measurement result can be compared with the parameters configured by the network to determine whether the conditions are met. However, no compensation is required for the Type 2 terminal.
[0311] In some embodiments, the above offsets may be agreed upon by protocol or configured by the network.
[0312] In this case, the network only needs to provide a set of parameter thresholds for different types of terminals. The terminals can then offset the measured signals according to the protocol or network configuration, and then compare them with the parameter thresholds. This approach can reduce the network signaling overhead.
[0313] In addition, this document also regulates the terminal leaving the first state.
[0314] In some embodiments, leaving the first state may be: for a type 2 terminal (having a low power transceiver that can only listen to LP-SS), the LP-WUR detects that the LP-SS signal is lower than threshold 1.
[0315] In some embodiments, leaving the first state may be: for a type 1 terminal (having a low power transceiver that can monitor PSS / SSS), the LP-WUR detects that the PSS / SSS signal is lower than threshold 2 for the type 1 terminal.
[0316] In some embodiments, leaving the first state may be: for type 1 terminals (having a low power transceiver that can monitor both PSS / SSS and PSS), for type 2 terminals, the LP-WUR detects that the LP-SS signal is lower than threshold 3.
[0317] A similar process can also be used to evaluate leaving the first state. For example, if Threshold 1 and Threshold 3 have a predetermined offset relationship, a Type 2 terminal can derive Threshold 3 from Threshold 1 notified by the network. Alternatively, a Type 1 terminal can compensate for differences in receiver sensitivity after obtaining the measurement results. This approach reduces network signaling overhead.
