[0107] FIG2 is an interactive diagram illustrating a method for determining a wake-up delay according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2 , the method includes:

[0108] Step 201: A network device configures delay offset information for a user equipment. The offset information includes at least one of the following:

[0109] First offset information, the first offset information including: a minimum offset value from the LP-WUS to the associated PO;

[0110] Second offset information; the second offset information includes the sum of the third offset information and the fourth offset information, the third offset information includes: the minimum offset value from the LP-WUS to the associated PEI; the fourth offset information includes: the maximum offset value from the associated PEI to the associated PO;

[0111] Fifth offset information; the fifth offset information is used to determine at least one of: an offset from the LP-WUS to the associated PO, and an offset from the LP-WUS to the associated PEI;

[0112] The sixth offset information includes: the first offset information and the third offset information.

[0113] Currently, based on system broadcast configuration parameters, a user equipment (UE) detects the PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel) at only one Paging Occasion (PO) within a paging cycle. The UE determines a Paging Frame (PF) within the paging cycle and a PO corresponding to the PF. Based on the UE's UE_ID, the SFN (System Frame Number) of the detected PF satisfies the following: (SFN + PF_offset) mod T = (T div N) * (UE_ID mod N).

[0114] Among them, mod represents the modulus symbol, and div represents the division symbol.

[0115] The index of the PO detected by the user equipment, Index(i_s), satisfies: i_s=floor(UE_ID / N)mod Ns

[0116] Where floor represents the rounding down symbol; PF offset represents the radio frame offset configured in the system information, i.e., the paging frame offset; T represents the paging cycle; N represents the number of PFs within the paging cycle; UE_ID = 5G-S-TMSI mod 1024, where TMSI is the temporary mobile subscriber identifier (TMSI) of the user equipment, which can be used to uniquely distinguish different user equipments and is also used in Msg3 of random access. If the user equipment does not have a TMSI, the default UE ID = 0; Ns represents the number of POs in a PF, which can be 1, 2, or 4.

[0117] For the transmission of paging information, the paging information of a group of user devices is usually mapped to the same PO. And this group of user devices detects the PDCCH and its scheduled PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel) carrying the paging information on this PO. As long as the network device (for example, a base station) sends paging information to at least one user device in the above group of user devices, the above group of user devices will attempt to receive the above PDSCH. This causes a waste of energy. In order to save power, 3GPP introduced paging early indication information (PEI). Specifically, the above group of user devices mapped to the same PO is further divided into G paging subgroups, and a PEI contains a bitmap of the paging subgroup indicating whether to wake up all POs of one or two PFs. The timing relationship between PEI and the associated PF / PO is determined by the parameters of the system configuration. The corresponding bit of PEI is set to 1 only when the network device needs to send a paging message to at least one user device in a paging subgroup. For a user equipment, if its paging subgroup indication bit is not set to 1, the user equipment will no longer detect the paging PDCCH and its scheduled PDSCH after receiving the PEI, thereby saving energy of the user equipment.

[0118] In order to further save power for user devices, paging operations can be performed based on the Low-Power Wake-Up Receiver (LP-WUR) mechanism. In the power-saving state, the user device can put the main receiver (MR) into the ultra-deep sleep state and turn on the LP-WUR to listen for the wake-up signal (LP-WUS) that supports low-power reception. When the LP-WUR detects the LP-WUS for this user device, the user device turns on the MR and performs normal transmission, thereby reducing the power consumption of the MR. Since the power consumption of the LP-WUR is very low, greater power saving gains can be obtained.

[0119] However, based on LP-WUS, for user equipment in idle state, after the user equipment detects the wake-up information of LP-WUS, it takes a relatively long time for the user equipment to wake up the MR and complete the time-frequency synchronization of the MR, that is, the wake-up delay. After completing the time-frequency synchronization of the MR, the user equipment can detect the PDCCH on the PO and the PDSCH scheduled by the PO. Alternatively, the user equipment can also detect the PEI PDCCH to further determine whether there may be paging information sent to it at the moment. When the PEI indicates the paging subgroup of the user equipment, the user equipment will detect the corresponding PDCCH on the PO and the PDSCH scheduled by the PO.

[0120] As can be seen, when waking up the MR with LP-WUS to complete paging, there are three related channels: LP-WUS, PEI PDCCH, and PDCCH / PDSCH of PO. However, how network equipment configures the offset between LP-WUS and other channels (PEI PDCCH and PDCCH / PDSCH of PO), that is, the wake-up delay, to ensure the communication performance of the user equipment while ensuring power conservation, is a problem that needs to be solved.

[0121] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the minimum offset value between the user equipment detecting LP-WUS and detecting PO can be set as D1, the minimum offset value between the user equipment detecting LP-WUS and detecting the associated PEI can be set as D2, and the maximum offset value required for the user equipment to detect the associated PEI and detect the associated PO can be set as D3. Then, the network device configures the user equipment with delay offset information that includes at least one of the first offset information (i.e., D1), the second offset information (i.e., D2+D3), the fifth offset information, and the sixth offset information (D1 and D2). Since PEI detection only includes PDCCH detection, D2 is generally smaller than D1.

[0122] When the network device configures the delay offset information for the user equipment including the first offset information, the second offset information, and the fifth offset information, the network device configures the delay offset information for the user equipment including one parameter; when the network device configures the delay offset information for the user equipment including the sixth offset information, the network device configures the delay offset information for the user equipment including two parameters.

[0123] When the network device configures the delay offset information including the first offset information for the user equipment, the offset requirement of the user equipment for detecting the PEI may not be considered.

[0124] When the network device configures the delay offset information including the second offset information for the user equipment, the user equipment can detect the LP-WUS and then the PO on the premise of ensuring that the user equipment has enough offset to detect the PEI.

[0125] Optionally, the fifth offset information may be a parameter value. When the network device configures the user equipment with delay offset information including the fifth offset information, the user equipment may use the fifth offset information to determine both the minimum offset from the LP-WUS to the associated PO and the minimum offset from the LP-WUS to the associated PEI. For example, the fifth offset information may be configured to include max(D1, D2). In this way, for an LP-WUS, the user equipment may use max(D1, D2) to detect both the associated PEI and the associated PO.

[0126] Optionally, when the user device supports PEI or is configured with PEI, the offset information configured by the network device for the user device may include at least one of the second offset information, the fifth offset information, or the sixth offset information; when the user device does not support PEI or is not configured with PEI, the offset information configured by the network device for the user device may only include the first offset information, that is, the minimum offset between detecting LP-WUS and detecting PO.

[0127] In the above embodiment, the network device defines the delay offset information between the LP-WUS and the associated PO, or the offset information between the LP-WUS and the associated PEI, and provides a mechanism for defining the wake-up delay between the LP-WUS and the channel for detecting the paging message, thereby ensuring the communication performance of the user equipment while ensuring power saving.

[0128] Step 202: The user equipment detects the associated PEI or the associated PO associated with the LP-WUS according to the delay offset information configured by the network device.

[0129] In the above embodiment, by detecting the associated PEI associated with the LP-WUS or the associated PO associated with the LP-WUS according to the delay offset information between the LP-WUS and the associated PO configured by the network device, or the offset information between the LP-WUS and the associated PEI, the power consumption of the user device can be reduced and the power saving gain can be further improved.

[0130] Optionally, in some embodiments, the detecting of the associated PEI associated with the LP-WUS or the associated PO associated with the LP-WUS includes:

[0131] The user equipment detects the LP-WUS and wakes up the MR when the LP-WUS indicates wakeup.

[0132] Detect the above-mentioned associated POs;

[0133] or

[0134] The associated PEI is detected, and when the associated PEI indicates wakeup, the associated PO corresponding to the associated PEI is detected.

[0135] Optionally, in the process of the user equipment receiving LP-WUS and thereby waking up the MR to complete paging, after the user equipment detects an LP-WUS and indicates wake-up, the user equipment can wake up the MR and detect a PO, or the user equipment can detect a PEI and, after the PEI indicates wake-up, further detect the PO corresponding to the PEI.

[0136] Optionally, a LP-WUS cycle may be configured through a network device, and there may be multiple LP-WUSs in one LP-WUS cycle.

[0137] For a user equipment, there may be only one LP-WUS corresponding to the user equipment in an LP-WUS cycle. For example, when the user equipment receives an LP-WUS, the user equipment may determine the LP-WUS corresponding to the UE_ID in the LP-WUS cycle based on the UE_ID of the user equipment. Alternatively, the user equipment may monitor all LP-WUSs within the LP-WUS cycle. Alternatively, adjacent LP-WUSs may be allocated continuous time-frequency resources, and the user equipment may continuously monitor all LP-WUSs.

[0138] In the above embodiment, the user equipment detects the above LP-WUS, and when the above LP-WUS indicates wake-up, wakes up the MR (Main Radio) and detects the above associated PO; or wakes up the MR, detects the above associated PEI, and when the above associated PEI indicates wake-up, detects the above associated PO corresponding to the above associated PEI, so that the paging process can be completed.

[0139] Optionally, in some embodiments, the mapping relationship between the LP-WUS and the associated PO detected by the user equipment includes:

[0140] Delaying the time domain position of the LP-WUS by the seventh offset information to obtain the time domain position of the associated PO;

[0141] or

[0142] The time domain position of the associated PO is advanced by the eighth offset information to obtain the time domain position of the LP-WUS.

[0143] Optionally, for a user equipment, the mapping relationship between LP-WUS and PO can be determined according to one of the following two methods:

[0144] Method 1: For a LP-WUS of a user equipment, determine the associated PO. The PO is obtained by delaying the time domain position of the LP-WUS by a certain offset. For example, the LP-WUS may be configured according to a certain LP-WUS cycle, and the PO associated with the LP-WUS may be the first PO that is no earlier than the timing position determined by the offset.

[0145] Method 2: For a PO of the user equipment, the associated LP-WUS is determined. The LP-WUS is obtained by offsetting the time domain position of the PO by a certain period of time. For example, if the LP-WUS is configured according to a certain LP-WUS cycle, the LP-WUS associated with a PO can be the last LP-WUS at a timing position no later than the one determined by the offset.

[0146] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a mapping relationship between the LP-WUS of the user equipment and the associated PO is configured, so that after the time domain position of the LP-WUS or the time domain position of the PO is detected, the time domain position of the PO or the time domain position of the LP-WUS can be detected based on the time delay between the LP-WUS and the associated PO.

[0147] For a user device, the delay required from the LP-WUS to the associated PEI or associated PO may depend on the user device's implementation. In the disclosed embodiments, the minimum value of this delay may be used as a parameter to measure the user device's capabilities. The user device's delay capability may also be predefined, and the user device may not need to report its capabilities to the network device. Alternatively, the user device's capabilities may be defined, and after the user device reports the minimum value of the delay supported by the user device, the minimum value of the delay reported by the user device may be used as the user device's delay capability.

[0148] Optionally, in some embodiments, the latency capability of the user equipment includes at least one of the following:

[0149] First delay capability; the first delay capability includes the minimum delay from detecting LP-WUS to detecting PO;

[0150] The second delay capability includes the sum of the minimum delay from detecting the LP-WUS to detecting the associated PEI and the maximum delay from detecting the associated PEI to detecting the associated PO;

[0151] The third delay capability is used to determine at least one of the delay from detecting the LP-WUS to detecting the associated PO and the delay from detecting the LP-WUS to detecting the associated PEI;

[0152] Fourth delay capability; the fourth delay capability includes the minimum delay required from detecting the above LP-WUS to detecting the above associated PO and the minimum delay required from detecting the above LP-WUS to detecting the above associated PEI.

[0153] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the minimum delay between the user equipment detecting LP-WUS and detecting PO can be taken as C1, the minimum delay between the user equipment detecting LP-WUS and detecting the associated PEI can be taken as C2, and the maximum delay required for the user equipment to detect the associated PEI and detect the associated PO can be taken as C3. The delay capability of the user equipment can include at least one of a first delay capability (i.e., C1), a second delay capability (i.e., C2+C3), a third delay capability, and a fourth delay capability (C1 and C2). Since PEI detection only includes PDCCH detection, C2 is generally smaller than C1.

[0154] When the delay capability of the user equipment includes a first delay capability (i.e., C1), a second delay capability (i.e., C2+C3), and a third delay capability, the delay capability of the user equipment may include one parameter; when the delay capability of the user equipment includes a fourth delay capability (C1 and C2), the delay capability of the user equipment may include two parameters.

[0155] When the delay capability of the user equipment includes the first delay capability, the delay requirement of the user equipment for detecting the PEI may not be considered.

[0156] When the delay capability of the user equipment includes the second delay capability, the delay can be increased from detecting LP-WUS to detecting PO on the premise that the user equipment has sufficient delay to detect PEI.

[0157] Optionally, the third delay capability may be a parameter value, and when the delay capability of the user equipment includes the third delay capability, the user equipment can detect both the associated PEI and the associated PO. For example, the third delay capability may be set to include max(C1, C2).

[0158] Optionally, when the user equipment supports PEI or is configured with PEI, the delay capability of the user equipment can be defined to include at least one of the second delay capability, the third delay capability or the fourth delay capability; when the user equipment does not support PEI or is not configured with PEI, the delay capability of the user equipment can only be defined to include the first delay capability, that is, the minimum delay from detecting LP-WUS to detecting PO.

[0159] In the above embodiment, by configuring the delay capability of the user equipment, during the paging process, the associated PEI associated with the LP-WUS or the associated PO associated with the LP-WUS can be detected based on the delay capability of the user equipment, the delay offset information between the LP-WUS and the associated PO configured by the network device, or the offset information between the LP-WUS and the associated PEI, thereby reducing the power consumption of the user equipment and further improving the power saving gain.

[0160] Optionally, in some embodiments, one LP-WUS is associated with one or more POs.

[0161] Optionally, one LP-WUS may be associated with one or more POs, that is, different UEs awakened by the same LP-WUS may be mapped to different associated POs to detect paging information.

[0162] Optionally, in some embodiments, the detecting of the associated PEI associated with the LP-WUS or the associated PO associated with the LP-WUS includes:

[0163] Delaying the time domain position of the LP-WUS by the first offset information, and detecting the associated PO;

[0164] or

[0165] Advancing the time domain position of the associated PO by the first offset information to detect the LP-WUS;

[0166] The above-mentioned offset information includes the above-mentioned first offset information.

[0167] Optionally, the network device uses the first offset information to configure the minimum offset (that is, the delay offset information configured by the network device for the user equipment includes the first offset information), and uses the above-mentioned method 1 for determining the mapping relationship between the LP-WUS and the PO (that is, for an LP-WUS of the user equipment, determining its associated PO. The PO is obtained by delaying the time domain position of the LP-WUS for a period of time. That is, the time domain position of the LP-WUS is delayed by the seventh offset information to obtain the time domain position of the associated PO). For a user equipment, for an LP-WUS, an associated PO can be mapped according to the minimum offset (that is, the time domain position of the above-mentioned LP-WUS is delayed by the above-mentioned first offset information, and the above-mentioned associated PO is detected).

[0168] For the above-mentioned method 2 for determining the mapping relationship between LP-WUS and PO (i.e., for a PO of a user device, determining its associated LP-WUS. The LP-WUS is obtained by offsetting the time domain position of the PO in advance by a period of time. That is, the time domain position of the above-mentioned associated PO is advanced by the eighth offset information to obtain the time domain position of the above-mentioned LP-WUS), for a user device, for a PO, an associated LP-WUS can be mapped according to the minimum offset (i.e., the time domain position of the above-mentioned associated PO is advanced by the above-mentioned first offset information to detect the above-mentioned LP-WUS).

[0169] In the above embodiment, during the paging process, detecting the LP-WUS associated with the associated PO or the associated PO associated with the LP-WUS according to the first offset information configured by the network device can reduce the power consumption of the user equipment and further improve the power saving gain.

[0170] Optionally, in some embodiments, delaying the time domain position of the LP-WUS by the first offset information and detecting the associated PO includes:

[0171] If the user equipment is configured with a PEI, the user equipment determines whether to detect the PEI based on a timing relationship between the LP-WUS and the associated PEI;

[0172] If the delay between the LP-WUS and the associated PEI is greater than or equal to the preset PEI processing delay, it is determined to detect the associated PEI. When the associated PEI is detected and the associated PEI indicates wakeup, the time domain position of the LP-WUS is delayed by the first offset information, and the associated PO is detected.

[0173] If the delay between the LP-WUS and the associated PEI is less than the preset PEI processing delay, it is determined not to detect the associated PEI, the time domain position of the LP-WUS is delayed by the first offset information, and the associated PO is detected.

[0174] Optionally, the preset PEI processing delay may be an empirical value or an experimental value, and may be configured according to actual conditions, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0175] Optionally, the timing relationship between the LP-WUS and the associated PEI may include a magnitude relationship between a time delay between the LP-WUS and the associated PEI and a preset processing delay of the PEI.

[0176] Optionally, the network device uses the first offset information to configure the minimum offset (that is, the delay offset information configured by the network device for the user equipment includes the first offset information), and uses the above-mentioned method 1 for determining the mapping relationship between the LP-WUS and the PO (that is, for an LP-WUS of the user equipment, determining its associated PO. The PO is obtained by delaying the time domain position of the LP-WUS for a period of time. That is, the time domain position of the LP-WUS is delayed by the seventh offset information to obtain the time domain position of the associated PO). For one user equipment and one LP-WUS, an associated PO can be mapped according to the minimum offset (that is, the time domain position of the LP-WUS is delayed by the first offset information to detect the associated PO).

[0177] For a user equipment configured with PEI, the user equipment may determine whether to detect PEI based on the timing relationship between the LP-WUS and the PEI associated with the PO (i.e., if the user equipment is configured with PEI, the user equipment determines whether to detect PEI based on the timing relationship between the LP-WUS and the PEI). For example,

[0178] Assuming that the delay between the LP-WUS and the PEI is long enough, the user equipment can detect the PEI (that is, if the delay between the above-mentioned LP-WUS and the above-mentioned associated PEI is greater than or equal to the preset PEI processing delay, it is determined to detect the above-mentioned associated PEI, and when the above-mentioned associated PEI is detected and the above-mentioned associated PEI indicates wake-up, the time domain position of the above-mentioned LP-WUS is delayed by the above-mentioned first offset information, and the above-mentioned associated PO is detected); otherwise,

[0179] The user equipment may directly detect the PO without detecting the PEI (i.e., if the delay between the LP-WUS and the associated PEI is less than the preset PEI processing delay, it is determined not to detect the associated PEI, and the time domain position of the LP-WUS is delayed by the first offset information, and the associated PO is detected).

[0180] In the above embodiment, based on the first offset information configured by the network device, whether the user equipment is configured with a PEI, and the relationship between the delay between the LP-WUS and the associated PEI and the processing delay of the preset PEI, the associated PO associated with the LP-WUS is detected, which can reduce the power consumption of the user equipment and further improve the power saving gain.

[0181] Optionally, in some embodiments, the detecting of the associated PEI associated with the LP-WUS or the associated PO associated with the LP-WUS includes:

[0182] Delaying the time domain position of the LP-WUS by the second offset information, and detecting the associated PO;

[0183] or

[0184] Advancing the time domain position of the PO by the second offset information to detect the LP-WUS;

[0185] The above-mentioned offset information includes the above-mentioned second offset information.

[0186] Optionally, if the second offset information is used to configure the minimum offset (that is, the delay offset information configured by the network device for the user equipment includes the second offset information), the above-mentioned method 1 for determining the mapping relationship between the LP-WUS and the PO is adopted (that is, for an LP-WUS of the user equipment, its associated PO is determined. The PO is obtained by delaying the time domain position of the LP-WUS for a period of time. That is, the time domain position of the LP-WUS is delayed by the seventh offset information to obtain the time domain position of the associated PO). For a user equipment, for an LP-WUS, an associated PO can be mapped according to the minimum offset (that is, the time domain position of the above-mentioned LP-WUS is delayed by the above-mentioned second offset information, and the above-mentioned associated PO is detected).

[0187] For the above-mentioned method 2 for determining the mapping relationship between LP-WUS and PO (i.e., for a PO of a user device, determining its associated LP-WUS. The LP-WUS is obtained by offsetting the time domain position of the PO in advance for a period of time. That is, the time domain position of the above-mentioned associated PO is advanced by the eighth offset information to obtain the time domain position of the above-mentioned LP-WUS), for a UE, for a PO, an associated LP-WUS can be mapped according to the minimum offset (i.e., the time domain position of the PO is advanced by the above-mentioned second offset information to detect the above-mentioned LP-WUS).

[0188] In the above embodiment, during the paging process, detecting the associated PEI associated with the LP-WUS or the associated PO associated with the LP-WUS according to the second offset information configured by the network device can reduce the power consumption of the user equipment and further improve the power saving gain.

[0189] Optionally, in some embodiments, if the first offset information is smaller than the delay capability of the user equipment, or the second offset information is smaller than the delay capability of the user equipment, or the ninth offset information is smaller than the delay capability of the user equipment, the LP-WUS is not detected, and the associated PO is detected.

[0190] The ninth offset information includes: an offset between the time domain position of the actually detected associated PO and the time domain position of the LP-WUS.

[0191] Optionally, when the time domain position of the LP-WUS is delayed by the first offset information or the second offset information and the associated PO is not detected, the associated PO can continue to be detected, and when the associated PO is detected, the offset between the time domain position of the actually detected associated PO and the time domain position of the LP-WUS can be used as the ninth offset information. Alternatively, when the time domain position of the associated PO is delayed by the first offset information or the second offset information and the LP-WUS is not detected, the LP-WUS can continue to be detected, and when the LP-WUS is detected, the offset between the time domain position of the actually detected LP-WUS and the time domain position of the associated PO can be used as the ninth offset information.

[0192] Optionally, the minimum offset is configured using method 1 or method 2 (i.e., the delay offset information configured by the network device for the user equipment includes the first offset information or the second offset information). If the actual offset between the LP-WUS and the PO determined based on the minimum offset is less than the delay capability of the user equipment (i.e., the ninth offset information is less than the delay capability of the user equipment), the user equipment does not detect the LP WUS but directly detects the associated PO. Alternatively, if the minimum offset is less than the delay capability of the user equipment (i.e., the first offset information is less than the delay capability of the user equipment, and the second offset information is less than the delay capability of the user equipment), the user equipment does not detect the LP WUS but directly detects the associated PO.

[0193] In the above embodiment, during the paging process, the method of detecting LP-WUS and detecting associated PO is determined based on the second offset information configured by the network device and the offset between the time domain position of the actually detected associated PO and the time domain position of the above LP-WUS, which can reduce the power consumption of the user device and further improve the power saving gain.

[0194] Optionally, in some embodiments, the detecting of the associated PEI associated with the LP-WUS or the associated PO associated with the LP-WUS includes at least one of the following:

[0195] Delaying the time domain position of the LP-WUS by the fifth offset information, and detecting the associated PO; the user equipment is not configured with PEI or does not support PEI;

[0197] Advancing the time domain position of the associated PO by the fifth offset information, and detecting the LP-WUS; the user equipment is not configured with PEI or does not support PEI;

[0198] The associated PEI is detected, and when the associated PEI indicates wakeup, the time domain position of the associated PEI is advanced by the fifth offset information to detect the LP-WUS; the user equipment is configured with the PEI.

[0199] The above-mentioned method 3 is used to configure the minimum offset (i.e., the network device configures the delay offset information including the fifth offset information for the user equipment), and the above-mentioned method 1 for determining the mapping relationship between the LP-WUS and the PO is used (i.e., for an LP-WUS of the user equipment, determining its associated PO. The PO is obtained by delaying the time domain position of the LP-WUS by a period of time. That is, the time domain position of the LP-WUS is delayed by the seventh offset information to obtain the time domain position of the associated PO). For an LP-WUS and a user equipment that is not configured with a PEI or does not support PEI, an associated PO can be mapped according to the minimum offset (i.e., the time domain position of the LP-WUS is delayed by the fifth offset information to detect the associated PO; the user equipment is not configured with a PEI or does not support PEI);

[0200] For user equipment configured with PEI, an associated PEI is mapped according to the minimum offset, and the associated PO associated with the PEI is further determined (i.e., the time domain position of the above-mentioned LP-WUS is delayed by the above-mentioned fifth offset information, the above-mentioned associated PEI is detected, and when the associated PEI is detected and the above-mentioned associated PEI indicates wake-up, the above-mentioned associated PO corresponding to the above-mentioned associated PEI is detected; the above-mentioned user equipment is configured with PEI).

[0201] For the above-mentioned method 2 for determining the mapping relationship between LP-WUS and PO (i.e., for a PO of a user device, determining its associated LP-WUS. The LP-WUS is obtained by offsetting the time domain position of the PO in advance for a period of time. That is, the time domain position of the above-mentioned associated PO is advanced by the eighth offset information to obtain the time domain position of the above-mentioned LP-WUS), for a PO, for a user device that is not configured with PEI or does not support PEI, an associated LP-WUS can be mapped according to the minimum offset (i.e., the time domain position of the above-mentioned associated PO is advanced by the fifth offset information, and the above-mentioned LP-WUS is detected; the above-mentioned user device is not configured with PEI or does not support PEI);

[0202] For a user device configured with a PEI, the associated PEI is first determined, and an associated LP-WUS is mapped to the associated PEI according to the minimum offset (i.e., the associated PEI is detected, and when the associated PEI indicates wakeup, the time domain position of the associated PEI is advanced by the fifth offset information, and the LP-WUS is detected; the user device is configured with a PEI).

[0203] In the above embodiment, during the paging process, determining whether to detect LP-WUS, detect associated PEI or associated PO is based on the fifth offset information configured by the network device and whether the user equipment is configured with PEI and whether the user equipment supports PEI, which can reduce the power consumption of the user equipment and further improve the power saving gain.

[0204] Optionally, in some embodiments, the detecting of the associated PEI associated with the LP-WUS or the associated PO associated with the LP-WUS includes at least one of the following:

[0205] Delaying the time domain position of the LP-WUS by the first offset information, and detecting the associated PO; the user equipment is not configured with a PEI or does not support PEI;

[0207] Advancing the time domain position of the associated PO by a first offset information, and detecting the LP-WUS; the user equipment is not configured with a PEI or does not support PEI;

[0209] The above-mentioned method 4 is used to configure the minimum offset (i.e., the network device configures the delay offset information including the sixth offset information, specifically the first offset information and the third offset information, for the user equipment). The above-mentioned method 1 for determining the mapping relationship between the LP-WUS and the PO is used (i.e., for an LP-WUS of the user equipment, determining its associated PO. The PO is obtained by delaying the time domain position of the LP-WUS by a period of time. That is, the time domain position of the LP-WUS is delayed by the seventh offset information to obtain the time domain position of the associated PO). For a user equipment configured with a PEI, for an LP-WUS, according to the minimum offset from the LP-WUS to the associated PEI, the PEI associated with the LP-WUS is determined, and the PO associated with the PEI is determined (i.e., the time domain position of the LP-WUS is delayed by the first offset information to detect the associated PO; the user equipment is not configured with a PEI or does not support PEI).

[0210] For a user device that is not configured with PEI or does not support PEI, an associated PO can be mapped to the LP-WUS according to the minimum offset (that is, the time domain position of the above-mentioned LP-WUS is delayed by the above-mentioned third offset information, the above-mentioned associated PEI is detected, and when the associated PEI is detected and the above-mentioned associated PEI indicates wake-up, the above-mentioned associated PO corresponding to the above-mentioned associated PEI is detected; the above-mentioned user device is configured with PEI).

[0211] Using the above-mentioned method 2 for determining the mapping relationship between the LP-WUS and the PO (i.e., for a PO of the user equipment, determining its associated LP-WUS. The LP-WUS is obtained by offsetting the time domain position of the PO in advance by a period of time. That is, the time domain position of the above-mentioned associated PO is advanced by the eighth offset information to obtain the time domain position of the above-mentioned LP-WUS), for a user equipment configured with a PEI, for a PO and its associated PEI, according to the minimum offset from the LP-WUS to the associated PEI, determine the LP-WUS associated with the PEI (i.e., the time domain position of the above-mentioned associated PO is advanced by the first offset information to detect the above-mentioned LP-WUS; the above-mentioned user equipment is not configured with PEI or does not support PEI);

[0212] For a user device that is not configured with PEI or does not support PEI, an associated LP-WUS can be mapped to the associated PO according to the minimum offset (i.e., the above-mentioned associated PEI is detected, and when the above-mentioned associated PEI indicates wake-up, the time domain position of the above-mentioned associated PO is advanced by the above-mentioned third offset information, and the above-mentioned LP-WUS is detected; the above-mentioned user device is configured with PEI).

[0213] In the above embodiment, during the paging process, determining whether to detect LP-WUS, detect associated PEI or associated PO is based on the sixth offset information configured by the network device, whether the user equipment is configured with PEI, and whether the user equipment supports PEI, which can reduce the power consumption of the user equipment and further improve the power saving gain.

[0217] Advancing the time domain position of the associated PO by the first offset information to detect the LP-WUS; and advancing the time domain position of the associated PEI by the third offset information to detect the LP-WUS;

[0218] If the associated PEI and the associated PO are associated with the same LP-WUS, the associated PEI is detected, and when the associated PEI is detected and the associated PEI indicates wakeup, the associated PO corresponding to the associated PEI is detected;

[0219] If the associated PEI and the associated PO are associated with different LP-WUSs, advance the time domain position of the associated PO by the first offset information, detect the LP-WUS, and when the LP-WUS indicates wake-up, detect the associated PEI. When the associated PEI is detected and the associated PEI indicates wake-up, detect the associated PO corresponding to the associated PEI.

When the associated PEI is detected and the above-mentioned associated PEI indicates wake-up, the above-mentioned associated PO corresponding to the above-mentioned associated PEI is detected.

[0221] Optionally, the above-mentioned method 4 is used to configure the minimum offset (that is, the network device configures the delay offset information for the user equipment including the sixth offset information, specifically including the first offset information and the third offset information), and the above-mentioned method 1 for determining the mapping relationship between the LP-WUS and the PO is used (that is, for an LP-WUS of the user equipment, its associated PO is determined. The PO is obtained by delaying the time domain position of the LP-WUS for a period of time. That is, the time domain position of the LP-WUS is delayed by the seventh offset information to obtain the time domain position of the associated PO). For one user equipment and one LP-WUS, the associated PEI and associated PO associated with the LP-WUS are determined according to the two minimum offsets (that is, the time domain position of the above-mentioned LP-WUS is delayed by the above-mentioned first offset information to detect the above-mentioned associated PO; and the time domain position of the above-mentioned LP-WUS is delayed by the above-mentioned third offset information to detect the above-mentioned associated PEI).

[0222] If the PEI is actually associated with the PO (i.e., if the associated PEI is associated with the associated PO), the user equipment may detect the associated PEI and, when the associated PEI indicates wake-up, detect the associated PO (i.e., detect the associated PEI, and upon detecting the associated PEI and upon the associated PEI indicating wake-up, detect the associated PO corresponding to the associated PEI). Otherwise,

[0223] If the PEI is not associated with the PO (i.e., if the associated PEI is not associated with the associated PO), the user equipment may only detect the PO and not the PEI (i.e., delay the time domain position of the LP-WUS by the first offset information and detect the associated PO). Or,

[0224] If PEI is not associated with PO (i.e., if the associated PEI is not associated with the associated PO), the user equipment may detect PEI and detect PO when PEI indicates wakeup (i.e., delay the time domain position of the LP-WUS by the third offset information and detect the associated PEI).

[0225] The above-mentioned method 2 for determining the mapping relationship between LP-WUS and PO is adopted (i.e., for a PO of a user device, its associated LP-WUS is determined. The LP-WUS is obtained by offsetting the time domain position of the PO in advance for a period of time. That is, the time domain position of the above-mentioned associated PO is advanced by the eighth offset information to obtain the time domain position of the above-mentioned LP-WUS), for a user device, for a PO and its associated PEI, the LP-WUS associated with the PO and PEI are determined respectively according to the two minimum offsets (i.e., the time domain position of the above-mentioned associated PO is advanced by the above-mentioned first offset information, and the above-mentioned LP-WUS is detected; and the time domain position of the above-mentioned associated PEI is advanced by the above-mentioned third offset information, and the above-mentioned LP-WUS is detected).

[0226] If the PO and the PEI are associated with the same LP-WUS (i.e., if the above-mentioned associated PEI and the above-mentioned associated PO are associated with the same LP-WUS), the user equipment can detect the PEI and detect the PO when the PEI indicates wake-up (i.e., detect the above-mentioned associated PEI, and when the above-mentioned associated PEI is detected and the above-mentioned associated PEI indicates wake-up, detect the above-mentioned associated PO corresponding to the above-mentioned associated PEI).

[0227] Otherwise, if PO and PEI are associated with different LP-WUS (i.e., if the above-mentioned associated PEI and the above-mentioned associated PO are associated with different LP-WUS), the user equipment may only detect the LP-WUS associated with the PO, and not detect the PEI (i.e., advance the time domain position of the above-mentioned associated PO by the above-mentioned first offset information, detect the above-mentioned LP-WUS, and when the above-mentioned LP-WUS indicates wake-up, detect the above-mentioned associated PEI, and when the associated PEI is detected and the above-mentioned associated PEI indicates wake-up, detect the above-mentioned associated PO corresponding to the above-mentioned associated PEI).

[0228] Alternatively, if PO and PEI are associated with different LP-WUSs (i.e., if the above-mentioned associated PEI and the above-mentioned associated PO are associated with different LP-WUSs), the user equipment may only detect the LP-WUS associated with the PEI. When the LP-WUS indicates wake-up, the user equipment may detect the PEI and detect the PO when the PEI indicates wake-up (i.e., advance the time domain position of the above-mentioned associated PEI by the above-mentioned third offset information, detect the above-mentioned LP-WUS, and when the above-mentioned LP-WUS indicates wake-up, detect the above-mentioned associated PEI. When the associated PEI is detected and the above-mentioned associated PEI indicates wake-up, detect the above-mentioned associated PO corresponding to the above-mentioned associated PEI).

[0229] In the above embodiment, during the paging process, based on the sixth offset information configured by the network device, whether the user device is configured with PEI, whether the user device supports PEI, and whether the associated PEI and the associated PO are associated with the same LP-WUS, it is determined whether to detect LP-WUS, detect associated PEI, or detect associated PO, which can reduce the power consumption of the user device and further improve the power saving gain.

[0230] Optionally, in some embodiments, the detecting of the associated PEI associated with the LP-WUS or the associated PO associated with the LP-WUS includes at least one of the following:

[0231] The tenth offset information is smaller than the delay capability of the user equipment, the LP-WUS is not detected, and the associated PO is detected; wherein the user equipment is not configured with PEI or does not support PEI;

[0235] The twelfth offset information is smaller than the latency capability of the user equipment, the LP-WUS is not detected, and the associated PEI is detected. When the associated PEI is detected and the associated PEI indicates wakeup, the associated PO corresponding to the associated PEI is detected; wherein the user equipment is configured with a PEI;

[0237] The twelfth offset information is less than the delay capability of the above-mentioned user equipment, and the above-mentioned eleventh offset information is not less than the delay capability of the above-mentioned user equipment. The above-mentioned LP-WUS is detected, and when the above-mentioned LP-WUS indicates wake-up, skip detecting the above-mentioned associated PEI and detect the above-mentioned associated PO; wherein the above-mentioned user equipment is configured with PEI.

[0238] Optionally, the minimum offset is configured using the above-mentioned method three or method four (that is, the network device configures the delay offset information for the user equipment including the fifth offset information or the sixth offset information). For a user equipment that is not configured with PEI or does not support PEI, if the actual offset between the LP-WUS and the PO determined according to the minimum offset (that is, the tenth offset information includes: the offset between the time domain position of the actually detected associated PO and the time domain position of the above-mentioned LP-WUS) is less than the delay capability of the user equipment, then the user equipment does not detect the LP WUS, but directly detects the PO (that is, the tenth offset information is less than the delay capability of the above-mentioned user equipment, does not detect the above-mentioned LP-WUS, and detects the above-mentioned associated PO; wherein, the above-mentioned user equipment is not configured with PEI or does not support PEI).

[0239] For a user equipment configured with PEI, if the actual offset between the LP-WUS and the PO determined based on the minimum offset (i.e., the eleventh offset information includes: the offset between the time domain position of the actually detected associated PO and the time domain position of the above-mentioned LP-WUS) is less than the delay capability of the user equipment, then the user equipment does not detect the LP WUS, but directly detects the PEI, and detects the PO when the PEI indicates wake-up (i.e., the eleventh offset information is less than the delay capability of the above-mentioned user equipment, does not detect the above-mentioned LP-WUS, detects the above-mentioned associated PEI, and when the above-mentioned associated PEI is detected and the above-mentioned associated PEI indicates wake-up, detects the above-mentioned associated PO corresponding to the above-mentioned associated PEI; wherein, the above-mentioned user equipment is configured with PEI). Or,

[0240] For a user equipment configured with PEI, if the actual offset between the LP-WUS and the PEI determined based on the minimum offset (i.e., the twelfth offset information includes: the offset between the time domain position of the actually detected associated PEI and the time domain position of the LP-WUS) is less than the delay capability of the user equipment, then the user equipment does not detect the LP WUS, but directly detects the PEI, and detects the PO when the PEI indicates wake-up (i.e., the twelfth offset information is less than the delay capability of the user equipment, does not detect the LP-WUS, detects the associated PEI, and upon detecting the associated PEI, and when the associated PEI indicates wake-up, detects the associated PO corresponding to the associated PEI; wherein, the user equipment is configured with PEI). Or,

[0241] For a user equipment configured with PEI, if the actual offset between the LP-WUS and the PEI determined according to the minimum offset is less than the delay capability of the user equipment, and the actual offset between the LP-WUS and the PO determined according to the minimum offset is not less than the delay capability of the user equipment, then the user equipment may detect the LP WUS, and when the LP-WUS indicates wake-up, skip detecting the PEI and directly detect the PO (that is, if the twelfth offset information is less than the delay capability of the above-mentioned user equipment, and the above-mentioned eleventh offset information is not less than the delay capability of the above-mentioned user equipment, detect the above-mentioned LP-WUS, and when the above-mentioned LP-WUS indicates wake-up, skip detecting the above-mentioned associated PEI and detect the above-mentioned associated PO; wherein, the above-mentioned user equipment is configured with PEI).

[0242] In the above embodiment, during the paging process, determining whether to detect LP-WUS, detect associated PEI or associate PO is based on the offset between the time domain position of the actually detected associated PO and the time domain position of the above LP-WUS, the offset between the time domain position of the actually detected associated PEI and the time domain position of the above LP-WUS, whether the user equipment is configured with PEI and whether the user equipment supports PEI, thereby reducing the power consumption of the user equipment and further improving the power saving gain.

[0243] Optionally, in some embodiments, the detecting of the associated PEI associated with the LP-WUS or the associated PO associated with the LP-WUS includes:

[0244] The fifth offset information is smaller than the latency capability of the user equipment, the LP-WUS is not detected, and the associated PO is detected; wherein the user equipment is not configured with PEI or does not support PEI;

[0245] [Corrected 09.05.2024 according to Rule 26] The above-mentioned fifth offset information is less than the delay capability of the above-mentioned user equipment, the above-mentioned LP-WUS is not detected, and the above-mentioned associated PEI is detected. When the above-mentioned associated PEI is detected and the above-mentioned associated PEI indicates wake-up, the above-mentioned associated PO corresponding to the above-mentioned associated PEI is detected; wherein, the above-mentioned user equipment is configured with PEI.

[0246] Optionally, the above-mentioned method three is used to configure the minimum offset (that is, the network device configures the delay offset information including the fifth offset information for the user equipment). For a user equipment that is not configured with PEI or does not support PEI, if the minimum offset is less than the delay capability of the user equipment, then the user equipment does not detect LP WUS, but directly detects PO (that is, the above-mentioned fifth offset information is less than the delay capability of the above-mentioned user equipment, does not detect the above-mentioned LP-WUS, and detects the above-mentioned associated PO; wherein, the above-mentioned user equipment is not configured with PEI or does not support PEI).

[0247] For a user device configured with PEI, if the minimum offset is less than the delay capability of the user device, the user device does not detect LP WUS, but directly detects PEI, and detects PO when PEI indicates wake-up (that is, the above-mentioned fifth offset information is less than the delay capability of the above-mentioned user device, the above-mentioned LP-WUS is not detected, and the above-mentioned associated PEI is detected. When the above-mentioned associated PEI is detected and the above-mentioned associated PEI indicates wake-up, the above-mentioned associated PO corresponding to the above-mentioned associated PEI is detected; wherein, the above-mentioned user device is configured with PEI).

[0248] In the above embodiment, during the paging process, determining whether to detect LP-WUS, detect associated PEI or associated PO is based on the relationship between the fifth offset information configured by the network device and the delay capability of the user equipment, whether the user equipment is configured with PEI, and whether the user equipment supports PEI. This can reduce the power consumption of the user equipment and further improve the power saving gain.

[0249] Optionally, in some embodiments, the detecting of the associated PEI associated with the LP-WUS or the associated PO associated with the LP-WUS includes:

[0250] At least one of the offset information in the sixth offset information is less than the latency capability of the user equipment, the LP-WUS is not detected, and the associated PO is detected; wherein the user equipment is not configured with PEI or does not support PEI;

[0251] At least one offset information in the sixth offset information is less than the latency capability of the user equipment, the LP-WUS is not detected, the associated PEI is detected, and when the associated PEI is detected and the associated PEI indicates wakeup, the associated PO corresponding to the associated PEI is detected; wherein the user equipment is configured with a PEI;

[0253] At least one of the sixth offset information is less than the latency capability of the user equipment, and detecting the LP-WUS associated with the associated PO or the associated PEI; wherein the user equipment is configured with the PEI;

[0254] The sixth offset information is smaller than the delay capability of the user equipment, and the associated PEI is detected. When the associated PEI is detected and the associated PEI indicates wake-up, the associated PO corresponding to the associated PEI is detected; wherein the user equipment is configured with PEI.

[0255] At least one offset information in the sixth offset information, that is, at least one offset information among the first offset information and the third offset information.

[0256] Optionally, the above-mentioned method four is used to configure the minimum offset (that is, the network device configures the delay offset information for the user equipment including the sixth offset information, specifically including the first offset information and the third offset information). For a user equipment that is not configured with PEI or does not support PEI, if the minimum offset from LP-WUS to the associated PO is less than the delay capability of the user equipment, then the user equipment does not detect LP WUS, but directly detects PO (that is, at least one offset information in the sixth offset information is less than the delay capability of the above-mentioned user equipment, the above-mentioned LP-WUS is not detected, and the above-mentioned associated PO is detected; wherein, the above-mentioned user equipment is not configured with PEI or does not support PEI).

[0257] For a user equipment configured with PEI, if any one of the two minimum offsets is less than the delay capability of the user equipment, the user equipment does not detect the LP WUS, but directly detects the PEI, and detects the PO when the PEI indicates wake-up (that is, at least one offset information in the above-mentioned sixth offset information is less than the delay capability of the above-mentioned user equipment, does not detect the above-mentioned LP-WUS, detects the above-mentioned associated PEI, and when the above-mentioned associated PEI is detected and the above-mentioned associated PEI indicates wake-up, detects the above-mentioned associated PO corresponding to the above-mentioned associated PEI; wherein the above-mentioned user equipment is configured with PEI). Or,

[0258] For a user equipment configured with PEI, if one of the two minimum offsets is less than the delay capability of the user equipment, the user equipment determines the PEI or PO associated with the LP-WUS according to the other minimum offset (i.e., if any one of the offset information in the sixth offset information is less than the delay capability of the user equipment, the associated PEI or associated PO is detected based on the other offset information that is greater than the delay capability of the user equipment and the time domain position of the LP-WUS; or the LP-WUS is detected based on the other offset information that is greater than the delay capability of the user equipment and the time domain position of the associated PEI and the time domain position of the associated PO; wherein the user equipment is configured with PEI), or

[0259] For a user equipment configured with PEI, if one of the two minimum offsets is less than the delay capability of the user equipment, the user equipment determines the LP-WUS associated with the PEI or PO (i.e., if at least one of the offset information in the sixth offset information is less than the delay capability of the user equipment, the LP-WUS associated with the associated PO or the associated PEI is detected; wherein the user equipment is configured with PEI). Or,

[0260] For a user device configured with PEI, if both minimum offsets are less than the delay capability of the user device, the user device does not detect LP WUS, but directly detects PEI, and detects PO when PEI indicates wake-up (that is, the above-mentioned sixth offset information is less than the delay capability of the above-mentioned user device, the above-mentioned associated PEI is detected, and when the above-mentioned associated PEI is detected and the above-mentioned associated PEI indicates wake-up, the above-mentioned associated PO corresponding to the above-mentioned associated PEI is detected; wherein, the above-mentioned user device is configured with PEI).

[0261] In the above embodiment, during the paging process, determining whether to detect LP-WUS, detect associated PEI or associated PO is based on the relationship between the sixth offset information configured by the network device and the delay capability of the user equipment, whether the user equipment is configured with PEI, and whether the user equipment supports PEI. This can reduce the power consumption of the user equipment and further improve the power saving gain.

[0262] Optionally, in some embodiments, the detecting of the associated PEI associated with the LP-WUS or the associated PO associated with the LP-WUS includes:

[0263] Detecting the associated PEI associated with the LP-WUS or the associated PO associated with the LP-WUS within a preset detection window;

[0264] If there is no candidate PO or candidate LP-WUS within the preset detection window, the user equipment exits the LP-WUS detection process and uses the main receiver MR to monitor the paging information;

[0265] If the candidate PO exists within the preset detection window, the user equipment detects the associated PEI associated with the LP-WUS or the associated PO associated with the LP-WUS within the preset detection window.

[0266] Optionally, the size of the preset detection window may be an empirical value or an experimental value, and may be configured according to actual conditions.

[0267] Optionally, for any of the above methods of detecting the associated PEI associated with an LP-WUS or the associated PO associated with an LP-WUS, for an LP-WUS, the user equipment may detect the associated PEI associated with an LP-WUS or the associated PO associated with an LP-WUS within a preset detection window.

[0268] If there are no candidate POs within the preset detection window, the user equipment may exit the LP-WUS detection process and monitor paging information using the MR. For a PEI or PO, the user equipment determines the associated LP-WUS within a window defined by the minimum offset and maximum offset. If there are no candidate LP-WUSs within the preset detection window, the user equipment may exit the LP-WUS detection process and monitor paging information using the MR.

[0269] Adopting the above-mentioned method 1 for determining the mapping relationship between LP-WUS and PO (i.e., for an LP-WUS of a user device, determining its associated PO. The PO is obtained by delaying the time domain position of the LP-WUS for a period of time. That is, the time domain position of the LP-WUS is delayed by the seventh offset information to obtain the time domain position of the associated PO), for a user device, for an LP-WUS, multiple alternative PEIs or POs can be detected within a preset detection window. The user device can detect the paging message according to its delay capability and one of the multiple alternative PEIs or POs detected. For example, the earliest PEI or PO among the multiple alternative PEIs or POs that meets the delay capability of the user device can be used as the LP-WUS associated PEI or associated PO.

[0270] Using the above-mentioned method 2 for determining the mapping relationship between LP-WUS and PO (i.e., for a PO of a user device, determining its associated LP-WUS. The LP-WUS is obtained by offsetting the time domain position of the PO in advance for a period of time. That is, the time domain position of the above-mentioned associated PO is advanced by the eighth offset information to obtain the time domain position of the above-mentioned LP-WUS), for a user device, for a PEI or PO, multiple alternative LP-WUS can be determined within a preset detection window. The user device can detect the wake-up information according to its delay capability and one of the multiple alternative LP-WUS detected. For example, the latest LP-WUS among the multiple alternative LP-WUS that meets the delay capability of the user device can be used as the associated LP-WUS of the PEI or PO.

[0271] In the above embodiment, during the paging process, a preset detection window is configured. In this way, when the associated PEI or associated PO cannot be detected according to the offset information configured by the network device or the delay capability of the user device, the associated PEI or associated PO can be further detected within the preset detection window, which can reduce the power consumption of the user device and further improve the power saving gain.

[0272] Optionally, in some embodiments, the preset detection window includes a detection window formed by the offset information and preset offset information, and the preset offset information is larger than the offset information.

[0273] Optionally, the preset offset information may be a preset maximum offset, and the preset detection window is a detection window formed between the offset information (minimum offset) configured by the network device for the user equipment and the preset maximum offset.

[0274] Optionally, in some embodiments, the detecting of the associated PEI associated with the LP-WUS or the associated PO associated with the LP-WUS includes:

[0275] Delaying the time domain position of the LP-WUS according to the first delay capability and detecting the associated PO;

[0276] or

[0277] According to the first delay capability, the time domain position of the associated PO is advanced to detect the LP-WUS.

[0278] Optionally, assuming that the above-mentioned method 1 is used to define the delay capability of the user equipment (that is, the delay capability of the user equipment includes the first delay capability), the above-mentioned method 1 for determining the mapping relationship between the LP-WUS and the PO is used (that is, for an LP-WUS of the user equipment, its associated PO is determined. The PO is obtained by delaying the time domain position of the LP-WUS for a period of time. That is, the time domain position of the LP-WUS is delayed by the seventh offset information to obtain the time domain position of the associated PO). For a user equipment, for an LP-WUS, an associated PO can be mapped according to the delay capability of the user equipment (that is, according to the above-mentioned first delay capability, the time domain position of the LP-WUS is delayed, and the above-mentioned associated PO is detected, that is, according to the minimum delay between detecting the LP-WUS and detecting the PO, the time domain position of the LP-WUS is delayed, and the above-mentioned associated PO is detected).

[0279] For the above-mentioned method 2 for determining the mapping relationship between LP-WUS and PO (i.e., for a PO of a user device, determining its associated LP-WUS. The LP-WUS is obtained by offsetting the time domain position of the PO in advance for a period of time. That is, the time domain position of the above-mentioned associated PO is advanced by the eighth offset information to obtain the time domain position of the above-mentioned LP-WUS), for a user device, for a PO, an associated LP-WUS can be mapped according to the delay capability of the user device (i.e., according to the above-mentioned first delay capability, the time domain position of the above-mentioned associated PO is advanced, and the above-mentioned LP-WUS is detected, that is, according to the minimum delay between detecting the LP-WUS and detecting the PO, the time domain position of the above-mentioned associated PO is advanced, and the above-mentioned LP-WUS is detected).

[0280] In the above embodiment, during the paging process, detecting the LP-WUS associated with the associated PO or the PO associated with the LP-WUS according to the first delay capability of the user equipment can reduce the power consumption of the user equipment and further improve the power saving gain.

[0281] Optionally, in some embodiments, delaying the time domain position of the LP-WUS according to the first delay capability and detecting the associated PO includes:

[0282] If the user equipment is configured with a PEI, the user equipment determines whether to detect the PEI based on a timing relationship between the LP-WUS and the PEI;

[0283] If the delay between the LP-WUS and the associated PEI is greater than or equal to the preset PEI processing delay, it is determined to detect the associated PEI. When the associated PEI is detected and the associated PEI indicates wakeup, the time domain position of the LP-WUS is delayed according to the first delay capability, and the associated PO is detected.

[0284] If the delay between the LP-WUS and the associated PEI is less than the preset PEI processing delay, it is determined not to detect the associated PEI, and the time domain position of the LP-WUS is delayed according to the first delay capability, and the associated PO is detected.

[0285] Optionally, assuming that the above-mentioned method 1 is used to define the delay capability of the user equipment (that is, the delay capability of the user equipment includes the first delay capability), and the above-mentioned method 1 for determining the mapping relationship between the LP-WUS and the PO is used (that is, for an LP-WUS of the user equipment, its associated PO is determined. The PO is obtained by delaying the time domain position of the LP-WUS for a period of time. That is, the time domain position of the LP-WUS is delayed by the seventh offset information to obtain the time domain position of the associated PO), for a user equipment, for an LP-WUS, an associated PO can be mapped according to the delay capability of the user equipment (that is, according to the above-mentioned first delay capability, the time domain position of the LP-WUS is delayed, and the above-mentioned associated PO is detected, that is, according to the minimum delay between detecting the LP-WUS and detecting the PO, the time domain position of the LP-WUS is delayed, and the above-mentioned associated PO is detected). Then

[0286] For user equipment configured with PEI, the user equipment can determine whether to detect PEI based on the timing relationship between LP-WUS and the associated PEI of PO (that is, if the above-mentioned user equipment is configured with PEI, the above-mentioned user equipment determines whether to detect PEI based on the timing relationship between the above-mentioned LP-WUS and the above-mentioned PEI).

[0287] For example, assuming that the delay between the LP-WUS and the PEI is long enough, the user equipment can detect the PEI (that is, the delay between the LP-WUS and the PEI associated with the PO is long enough, that is, if the delay between the above-mentioned LP-WUS and the above-mentioned associated PEI is greater than or equal to the preset PEI processing delay, it is determined to detect the above-mentioned associated PEI, and when the above-mentioned associated PEI is detected and the above-mentioned associated PEI indicates wake-up, according to the above-mentioned first delay capability, the time domain position of the above-mentioned LP-WUS is delayed, and the above-mentioned associated PO is detected); otherwise,

[0288] The user equipment may directly detect the PO without detecting the PEI (i.e., if the delay between the LP-WUS and the associated PEI is less than the preset PEI processing delay, it is determined not to detect the associated PEI, and the time domain position of the LP-WUS is delayed according to the first delay capability, and the associated PO is detected).

[0289] In the above embodiment, during the paging process, based on the first delay capability of the user equipment, whether the user equipment is configured with PEI, and the relationship between the delay between the LP-WUS and the associated PEI and the processing delay of the preset PEI, the LP-WUS associated with the associated PO or the associated PO associated with the LP-WUS is detected, which can reduce the power consumption of the user equipment and further improve the power saving gain.

[0290] Optionally, in some embodiments, the detecting of the associated PEI associated with the LP-WUS or the associated PO associated with the LP-WUS includes:

[0291] Delaying the time domain position of the LP-WUS according to the second delay capability and detecting the associated PO;

[0292] or

[0293] According to the second time delay capability, the time domain position of the PO is advanced to detect the LP-WUS.

[0294] Optionally, assuming that the above-mentioned method 2 is used to define the delay capability of the user equipment (that is, the delay capability of the user equipment includes the second delay capability), the above-mentioned method 1 for determining the mapping relationship between the LP-WUS and the PO is used (that is, for an LP-WUS of the user equipment, its associated PO is determined. The PO is obtained by delaying the time domain position of the LP-WUS for a period of time. That is, the time domain position of the LP-WUS is delayed by the seventh offset information to obtain the time domain position of the associated PO). For a user equipment, for an LP-WUS, an associated PO can be mapped according to the delay capability of the user equipment (that is, according to the above-mentioned second delay capability, the time domain position of the LP-WUS is delayed, and the associated PO is detected, that is, according to the sum of the minimum delay from detecting the LP-WUS to detecting the associated PEI and the maximum delay required from detecting the associated PEI to detecting the associated PO, the time domain position of the LP-WUS is delayed, and the associated PO is detected).

[0295] For the above-mentioned method 2 for determining the mapping relationship between LP-WUS and PO (i.e., for a PO of a user device, determining its associated LP-WUS. The LP-WUS is obtained by offsetting the time domain position of the PO in advance for a period of time. That is, the time domain position of the above-mentioned associated PO is advanced by the eighth offset information to obtain the time domain position of the above-mentioned LP-WUS), for a user device, for a PO, an associated LP-WUS can be mapped according to the delay capability of the user device (i.e., according to the above-mentioned second delay capability, the time domain position of the above-mentioned PO is advanced, and the above-mentioned LP-WUS is detected, that is, according to the sum of the minimum delay from detecting the above-mentioned LP-WUS to detecting the above-mentioned associated PEI and the maximum delay required from detecting the above-mentioned associated PEI to detecting the above-mentioned associated PO, the time domain position of the above-mentioned PO is advanced, and the above-mentioned LP-WUS is detected).

[0296] In the above embodiment, during the paging process, detecting the LP-WUS associated with the associated PO or the PO associated with the LP-WUS according to the second delay capability of the user equipment can reduce the power consumption of the user equipment and further improve the power saving gain.

[0312] Optionally, assuming that the above-mentioned method four is used to define the delay capability of the user equipment (that is, the delay capability of the user equipment includes the fourth delay capability), the above-mentioned method one for determining the mapping relationship between the LP-WUS and the PO is used (that is, for an LP-WUS of the user equipment, its associated PO is determined. The PO is obtained by delaying the time domain position of the LP-WUS by a period of time. That is, the time domain position of the LP-WUS is delayed by the seventh offset information to obtain the time domain position of the associated PO). For one user equipment and one LP-WUS, the PEI and the associated PO associated with the LP-WUS are determined respectively according to the two delay capabilities (that is, according to the above-mentioned fourth delay capability, the time domain position of the LP-WUS is delayed, and the associated PO and the associated PEI are detected respectively. Specifically, according to the minimum delay required from detecting the LP-WUS to detecting the associated PO, the time domain position of the LP-WUS is delayed, and the associated PO is detected, and according to the minimum delay required from detecting the LP-WUS to detecting the associated PEI, the time domain position of the LP-WUS is delayed, and the associated PEI is detected).

[0313] If the PEI is actually associated with the PO, the user equipment can detect the PEI and detect the PO when the PEI indicates wake-up (i.e., if the associated PEI is associated with the associated PO, detect the associated PEI, and when the associated PEI is detected and the associated PEI indicates wake-up, detect the associated PO corresponding to the associated PEI). Otherwise,

[0314] If the PEI is not associated with the PO, the user equipment may only detect the PO and not the PEI (i.e., if the associated PEI is not associated with the associated PO, the time domain position of the LP-WUS is delayed by the first offset information and the associated PO is detected). Or,

[0316] The above-mentioned method 2 for determining the mapping relationship between LP-WUS and PO is adopted (i.e., for a PO of a user device, its associated LP-WUS is determined. The LP-WUS is obtained by offsetting the time domain position of the PO in advance for a period of time. That is, the time domain position of the above-mentioned associated PO is advanced by the eighth offset information to obtain the time domain position of the above-mentioned LP-WUS), for a user device, for a PO and its associated PEI, the LP-WUS associated with the PO and PEI is determined respectively according to two delay capabilities (i.e., according to the above-mentioned fourth delay capability, the time domain position of the above-mentioned associated PO is advanced to detect the above-mentioned LP-WUS; or, the time domain position of the above-mentioned associated PEI is advanced to detect the above-mentioned LP-WUS; specifically, according to the minimum delay required from detecting the above-mentioned LP-WUS to detecting the above-mentioned associated PO, the time domain position of the associated PO is advanced to detect the LP-WUS, and according to the minimum delay required from detecting the above-mentioned LP-WUS to detecting the above-mentioned associated PEI, the time domain position of the above-mentioned associated PEI is advanced to detect the LP-WUS).

Otherwise,

[0318] If the PO and PEI are associated with different LP-WUSs, the user equipment may only detect the LP-WUS associated with the PO and not detect the PEI (i.e., if the associated PEI and the associated PO are associated with different LP-WUSs, the time domain position of the associated PO may be advanced according to the fourth delay capability, and the LP-WUS associated with the associated PO may be detected). Or,

[0319] If the PO and PEI are associated with different LP-WUSs, the user equipment may only detect the LP-WUS associated with the PEI. When the LP-WUS indicates wake-up, the user equipment may detect the PEI and detect the PO when the PEI indicates wake-up (i.e., if the above-mentioned associated PEI and the above-mentioned associated PO are associated with different LP-WUSs, according to the above-mentioned fourth delay capability, the time domain position of the above-mentioned associated PEI is advanced, the LP-WUS associated with the above-mentioned associated PEI is detected, and when the above-mentioned LP-WUS indicates wake-up, the above-mentioned associated PEI is detected, and when the above-mentioned associated PEI indicates wake-up, the above-mentioned associated PO corresponding to the above-mentioned associated PEI is detected).

[0376] Optionally, assuming that the second offset information is used to configure the minimum offset (that is, the delay offset information configured by the network device for the user equipment includes the second offset information), and the minimum offset of all UEs is the same, the above-mentioned method 1 for determining the mapping relationship between LP-WUS and PO is adopted (that is, for an LP-WUS of the user equipment, its associated PO is determined. The PO is obtained by delaying the time domain position of the LP-WUS for a period of time. That is, the time domain position of the LP-WUS is delayed by the seventh offset information to obtain the time domain position of the associated PO). For a user equipment, for an LP-WUS, an associated PO can be mapped according to the minimum offset (that is, the time domain position of the above-mentioned LP-WUS is delayed by the above-mentioned second offset information, and the above-mentioned associated PO is detected).

[0377] For the above-mentioned method 2 for determining the mapping relationship between LP-WUS and PO (i.e., for a PO of a user device, determining its associated LP-WUS. The LP-WUS is obtained by offsetting the time domain position of the PO in advance for a period of time. That is, the time domain position of the above-mentioned associated PO is advanced by the eighth offset information to obtain the time domain position of the above-mentioned LP-WUS), for a UE, for a PO, an associated LP-WUS can be mapped according to the minimum offset (i.e., the time domain position of the PO is advanced by the above-mentioned second offset information to detect the above-mentioned LP-WUS).

[0378] Optionally, in some embodiments, the detecting of the associated PEI associated with the LP-WUS or the associated PO associated with the LP-WUS includes:

[0379] If the thirteenth offset information is smaller than the first delay capability, the first offset information is smaller than the first delay capability, or the second offset information is smaller than the first delay capability, the LP-WUS is not detected and the associated PO is detected.

[0380] The thirteenth offset information includes: the offset between the time domain position of the actually detected associated PO and the time domain position of the LP-WUS; wherein the offset information is delayed for the time domain position of the LP-WUS, and the associated PO is not detected.

[0381] Optionally, assuming that the network configures the minimum offset according to the above method 1 or method 2 (that is, the delay offset information configured by the network device for the user equipment includes the first offset information or the second offset information), if the actual offset between the LP-WUS and the PO determined according to the minimum offset (that is, the thirteenth offset information includes: the offset between the time domain position of the actually detected associated PO and the time domain position of the above LP-WUS; wherein the time domain position of the above LP-WUS is delayed by the above offset information, and the above associated PO is not detected) is less than the delay capability of the user equipment (that is, the thirteenth offset information is less than the above first delay capability), then the user equipment does not detect the LP WUS, but directly detects the PO. Or,

[0382] If the minimum offset is smaller than the delay capability of the user equipment (ie, the first offset information is smaller than the first delay capability, or the second offset information is smaller than the first delay capability), the user equipment does not detect LP WUS but directly detects PO.

[0419] FIG6 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a user equipment proposed in an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG6 , the user equipment 600 may include: a detection module 601 .

[0420] In some embodiments, the detection module 601 is configured to detect the associated PEI associated with the LP-WUS or the associated PO associated with the LP-WUS according to the delay offset information configured by the network device;

[0421] The offset information includes at least one of the following:

[0425] The sixth offset information includes: the first offset information and the third offset information.

[0426] Optionally, in some embodiments, the specific manner in which the detection module 601 detects the LP-WUS-associated PEI or the LP-WUS-associated PO may refer to the relevant description of step 202 and will not be repeated here.

[0427] Regarding the above description, in the process of using LP-WUS to wake up the MR to complete paging, there are three related channels, namely LP-WUS, PEI PDCCH, and PO PDCCH / PDSCH. In the wake-up delay determination method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE (i.e., user equipment) capability of the delay between LP-WUS and other channels (i.e., PEI PDCCH and PO PDCCH / PDSCH) is defined, as well as the way in which the network device (e.g., the network device may include a base station) configures the offset between LP-WUS and other channels. The following will specifically explain the specific definition of UE capability, configuration offset, and paging based on UE capability and configured offset:

[0428] During the process of the UE receiving an LP-WUS and waking up the MR to complete paging, after detecting an LP-WUS and instructing wakeup, the UE may wake up the MR and detect a PO, or detect a PEI and further detect the PO corresponding to the PEI after the PEI indicates wakeup. Hereinafter, the PEI and the PO are referred to as the associated PEI and associated PO of the LPWUS. The LP-WUS is referred to as the associated LP-WUS of the PEI and PO.

[0429] The network device configures the LP-WUS cycle, and there are multiple LP-WUS in one LP-WUS cycle. For a UE, there may be only one LP-WUS corresponding to the UE in a cycle. For example, the UE can find its corresponding LP-WUS in the LP-WUS cycle according to its own UE ID. Alternatively, the UE can also monitor all LP-WUS in the LP-WUS cycle. Alternatively, adjacent LP-WUS can also be allocated continuous time-frequency resources, and the UE continuously monitors all LP-WUS. For a UE, the mapping relationship between LP-WUS and PO can be determined according to one of the following two methods:

[0430] Method 1: Determine the PO associated with a LP-WUS of the UE. The PO is obtained by delaying the time domain position of the LP-WUS by a time offset. For example, the LP-WUS is configured according to a certain cycle, and the PO associated with the LP-WUS may be the first PO that is no earlier than the timing position determined by the offset.

[0431] Method 2: Determine the LP-WUS associated with a PO of the UE. The LP-WUS is obtained by offsetting the time domain position of the PO by a certain period of time. For example, if the LP-WUS is configured according to a certain cycle, the LP-WUS associated with a PO can be the last LP-WUS at a timing position no later than the offset.

[0432] For a UE, the required latency from the LP-WUS to the associated PEI or PO depends on the UE's implementation. That is, the minimum value of this latency is a UE capability. The UE's latency capability can also be predefined, eliminating the need for UE capability reporting. Alternatively, UE capabilities can be defined so that the UE can report the minimum value of the latency it supports.

[0433] Method 1: The UE's delay capability can be a parameter (ie, the first delay capability mentioned above), ie, the minimum delay from the LP-WUS to the associated PO. This method does not consider the delay requirement of the UE for detecting the PEI.

[0434] Method 2: The UE's latency capability can be a parameter (i.e., the second latency capability described above), which specifies the minimum latency from the LP-WUS to the associated PO, while ensuring the UE has sufficient latency to detect the PEI. With this method, the minimum latency is actually the sum of the minimum latency from the LP-WUS to the associated PEI and the maximum latency between the PEI and the PO.

[0435] Method 3: The UE's latency capability can be a parameter (i.e., the third latency capability described above). Let D1 be the minimum latency from the LP-WUS to the associated PEI, and D2 be the minimum latency from the LP-WUS to the associated PO. Then, the latency capability equals max(D1, D2). Based on this definition, for an LP-WUS, after the specified latency, the UE can detect both the associated PEI and the associated PO.

[0436] Method 4: The delay capability of the UE may include two parameters (i.e., the fourth delay capability mentioned above), one parameter is the minimum delay from the LP-WUS to the associated PO, and the other parameter is the minimum delay from the LP-WUS to the associated PEI. Because PEI detection only includes PDCCH detection, the latter minimum delay is generally smaller than the former minimum delay. The above two delay parameters can be defined only for UEs that support PEI. For UEs that do not support PEI, only one parameter needs to be defined, namely the minimum delay from the LP-WUS to the associated PO.

[0437] The network device may configure a minimum offset between the LP-WUS and the associated PEI or PO. The minimum offset may be configured based on the UE's latency capability. The minimum offset may be different from the UE's latency capability.

[0438] Method 1: The minimum offset can be a parameter (ie, the first offset information mentioned above), ie, the minimum offset from the LP-WUS to the associated PO. This method does not consider the delay requirement of the UE detecting the PEI.

[0439] Method 2: The minimum offset can be a parameter (i.e., the second offset information described above), which specifies the minimum offset from the LP-WUS to the associated PO, while ensuring that the UE has sufficient latency to detect the PEI. In this method, the minimum offset can be the sum of the minimum latency from the LP-WUS to the associated PEI (i.e., the third offset information described above) and the maximum latency between the PEI and the PO (i.e., the fourth offset information described above).

[0440] Method 3: The minimum offset can be a parameter (i.e., the fifth offset information described above), which is used to determine both the minimum offset from the LP-WUS to the associated PO and the minimum offset from the LP-WUS to the associated PEI. For example, let D1 be the minimum offset from the LP-WUS to the associated PEI, and D2 be the minimum offset from the LP-WUS to the associated PO. Then, the minimum offset is equal to max(D1, D2). According to this definition, for an LP-WUS, using the minimum offset, the UE can detect both the associated PEI and the associated PO.

[0441] Method 4: The minimum offset may include two parameters (i.e., the sixth offset information mentioned above), one parameter being the minimum offset from the LP-WUS to the associated PO, and the other parameter being the minimum offset from the LP-WUS to the associated PEI. Because PEI detection only includes PDCCH detection, the latter minimum offset is generally smaller than the former minimum offset. The above two minimum offsets may be defined only for UEs that support PEI. For UEs that do not support PEI, only one minimum offset needs to be defined, namely, the minimum offset from the LP-WUS to the associated PO.

[0442] Example 1

[0443] One LP-WUS can be associated with one or more POs. Different UEs woken up by the same LP-WUS can be mapped to different associated POs to detect paging information.

[0444] Assuming that the delay capability of the UE is defined using the above-mentioned method 1, and the above-mentioned method 1 for determining the mapping relationship between the LP-WUS and the PO is used, for one UE, for one LP-WUS, an associated PO can be mapped according to the delay capability of the UE. For the above-mentioned method 2 for determining the mapping relationship between the LP-WUS and the PO, for one UE, for one PO, an associated LP-WUS can be mapped according to the delay capability of the UE. For a UE configured with a PEI, the UE can determine whether to detect the PEI based on the timing relationship between the LP-WUS and the PEI associated with the PO. For example, assuming that the delay between the LP-WUS and the PEI is long enough, the UE can detect the PEI; otherwise, the UE can directly detect the PO without detecting the PEI. Another method for processing the PEI is to ensure, through the base station, that the delay between the LP-WUS and the PEI associated with the PO is long enough so that the UE can detect the PEI.

[0445] Assuming that the delay capability of the UE is defined using the above-mentioned method 2, and the above-mentioned method 1 for determining the mapping relationship between the LP-WUS and the PO is used, for one UE, for one LP-WUS, an associated PO can be mapped according to the delay capability of the UE. For the above-mentioned method 2 for determining the mapping relationship between the LP-WUS and the PO, for one UE, for one PO, an associated LP-WUS can be mapped according to the delay capability of the UE.

[0446] Assuming that the above-mentioned method 3 is used to define the latency capability of the UE, and the above-mentioned method 1 for determining the mapping relationship between the LP-WUS and the PO is used, for one LP-WUS, for a UE that is not configured with a PEI or does not support PEI, an associated PO can be mapped according to the latency capability of the UE; for a UE that is configured with a PEI, an associated PEI is mapped according to the latency capability of the UE, and the PO associated with the PEI is further determined. For the above-mentioned method 2 for determining the mapping relationship between the LP-WUS and the PO, for one PO, for a UE that is not configured with a PEI or does not support PEI, an associated LP-WUS can be mapped according to the latency capability of the UE; for a UE that is configured with a PEI, the associated PEI is first determined, and the PEI is mapped to an associated LP-WUS according to the latency capability of the UE.

[0447] Assuming that the UE's latency capability is defined using the aforementioned method 4, and the aforementioned method 1 for determining the mapping relationship between an LP-WUS and a PO is employed, for a UE and an LP-WUS, the PEI and the associated PO associated with the LP-WUS are determined based on the two latency capabilities. If the PEI is actually associated with the PO, the UE may detect the PEI and, if the PEI indicates wakeup, the UE may detect only the PO and not the PEI. Alternatively, the UE may detect the PEI and, if the PEI indicates wakeup, the PO. Using the aforementioned method 2 for determining the mapping relationship between an LP-WUS and a PO, for a UE and a PO and its associated PEI, the LP-WUS associated with the PO and the PEI are determined based on the two latency capabilities. If the PO and PEI are associated with the same LP-WUS, the UE may detect the PEI and, if the PEI indicates wakeup, the UE may detect only the LP-WUS associated with the PO and not the PEI. Alternatively, the UE may only detect the LP-WUS associated with the PEI. When the LP-WUS indicates wake-up, the UE may detect the PEI and detect the PO when the PEI indicates wake-up.

[0448] Assuming that the delay capability of the UE is defined using the above-mentioned method 4, and the above-mentioned method 1 for determining the mapping relationship between the LP-WUS and the PO is used, for a UE configured with a PEI, for a LP-WUS, the PEI associated with the LP-WUS is determined according to the UE capability of the minimum delay from the LP-WUS to the associated PEI, and the PO associated with the PEI is determined; for a UE not configured with a PEI or not supporting PEI, an associated PO can be mapped to the LP-WUS according to the delay capability of the UE. Using the above-mentioned method 2 for determining the mapping relationship between the LP-WUS and the PO, for a UE configured with a PEI, for a PO and its associated PEI, the LP-WUS associated with the PEI is determined according to the UE capability of the minimum delay from the LP-WUS to the associated PEI; for a UE not configured with a PEI or not supporting PEI, an associated LP-WUS can be mapped to the PO according to the delay capability of the UE.

[0449] Example 2

[0450] One LP-WUS can be associated with one or more POs. Different UEs woken up by the same LP-WUS can be mapped to different associated POs to detect paging information.

[0451] The above-mentioned method 1 is used to configure the minimum offset, and the above-mentioned method 1 for determining the mapping relationship between LP-WUS and PO is used. For one UE, for one LP-WUS, an associated PO can be mapped according to the minimum offset. For the above-mentioned method 2 for determining the mapping relationship between LP-WUS and PO, for one UE, for one PO, an associated LP-WUS can be mapped according to the minimum offset. For a UE configured with PEI, the UE can determine whether to detect PEI based on the timing relationship between the LP-WUS and the associated PEI of the PO. For example, assuming that the delay between the LP-WUS and the PEI is long enough, the UE can detect PEI; otherwise, the UE can directly detect PO without detecting PEI. Another method for processing PEI is to ensure, through the base station, that the delay between the LP-WUS and the associated PEI of the PO is long enough so that the UE can detect PEI.

[0452] Using the above method 2 to configure the minimum offset, and using the above method 1 for determining the mapping relationship between the LP-WUS and the PO, for one UE, for one LP-WUS, an associated PO can be mapped according to the minimum offset. Using the above method 2 for determining the mapping relationship between the LP-WUS and the PO, for one UE, for one PO, an associated LP-WUS can be mapped according to the minimum offset.

[0453] When the minimum offset is configured using method 1 or method 2 above, if the actual offset between the LP-WUS and the PO, determined based on the minimum offset, is less than the UE's latency capability, the UE does not detect the LP WUS but directly detects the PO. Alternatively, if the minimum offset is less than the UE's latency capability, the UE does not detect the LP WUS but directly detects the PO.

[0454] The minimum offset is configured using the above-mentioned method 3. Using the above-mentioned method 1 for determining the mapping relationship between the LP-WUS and the PO, for one LP-WUS, for a UE that is not configured with a PEI or does not support PEI, an associated PO can be mapped according to the minimum offset; for a UE that is configured with a PEI, an associated PEI is mapped according to the minimum offset, and the PO associated with the PEI is further determined. Regarding the above-mentioned method 2 for determining the mapping relationship between the LP-WUS and the PO, for one PO, for a UE that is not configured with a PEI or does not support PEI, an associated LP-WUS can be mapped according to the minimum offset; for a UE that is configured with a PEI, the associated PEI is first determined, and an associated LP-WUS is mapped to the PEI according to the minimum offset.

[0455] The minimum offset is configured using the above-mentioned method 4. The mapping relationship between the LP-WUS and the PO is determined using the above-mentioned method 1 for determining the mapping relationship between the LP-WUS and the PO. For a UE configured with a PEI, for a LP-WUS, the PEI associated with the LP-WUS is determined according to the minimum offset from the LP-WUS to the associated PEI, and the PO associated with the PEI is determined. For a UE not configured with a PEI or not supporting PEI, an associated PO can be mapped to the LP-WUS according to the minimum offset. The mapping relationship between the LP-WUS and the PO is determined using the above-mentioned method 2 for determining the mapping relationship between the LP-WUS and the PO. For a UE configured with a PEI, for a PO and its associated PEI, the LP-WUS associated with the PEI is determined according to the minimum offset from the LP-WUS to the associated PEI. For a UE not configured with a PEI or not supporting PEI, an associated LP-WUS can be mapped to the PO according to the minimum offset.

[0456] Alternatively, the minimum offset may be configured using the aforementioned method 4, and the aforementioned method 1 for determining the mapping relationship between an LP-WUS and a PO may be used to determine, for a UE and an LP-WUS, the PEI and the associated PO associated with the LP-WUS, respectively, according to the two minimum offsets. If the PEI is actually associated with the PO, the UE may detect the PEI and, when the PEI indicates wakeup, the PO. Otherwise, if the PEI is not associated with the PO, the UE may only detect the PO and not the PEI. Alternatively, the UE may detect the PEI and, when the PEI indicates wakeup, the PO. Using the aforementioned method 2 for determining the mapping relationship between an LP-WUS and a PO, the LP-WUS associated with the PO and the PEI may be determined, for a UE and an PO and its associated PEI, respectively, according to the two minimum offsets. If the PO and PEI are associated with the same LP-WUS, the UE may detect the PEI and, when the PEI indicates wakeup, the PO. Otherwise, if the PO and PEI are associated with different LP-WUSs, the UE may only detect the LP-WUS associated with the PO and not the PEI. Alternatively, the UE may only detect the LP-WUS associated with the PEI. When the LP-WUS indicates wake-up, the UE may detect the PEI and detect the PO when the PEI indicates wake-up.

[0457] The minimum offset is configured using method three or method four above. For a UE that is not configured with PEI or does not support PEI, if the actual offset between the LP-WUS and the PO determined based on the minimum offset is less than the UE's latency capability, the UE does not detect the LP WUS but directly detects the PO. For a UE configured with PEI, if the actual offset between the LP-WUS and the PO determined based on the minimum offset is less than the UE's latency capability, the UE does not detect the LP WUS but directly detects the PEI, and detects the PO when the PEI indicates wake-up. Alternatively, for a UE configured with PEI, if the actual offset between the LP-WUS and the PEI determined based on the minimum offset is less than the UE's latency capability, the UE does not detect the LP WUS but directly detects the PEI, and detects the PO when the PEI indicates wake-up. Alternatively, for a UE configured with PEI, if the actual offset between the LP-WUS and the PEI determined according to the minimum offset is less than the UE's delay capability, and the actual offset between the LP-WUS and the PO determined according to the minimum offset is not less than the UE's delay capability, then the UE can detect the LP WUS and, when the LP-WUS indicates wake-up, skip detecting the PEI and directly detect the PO.

[0458] Alternatively, the minimum offset is configured using method 3 above. For a UE not configured with PEI or not supporting PEI, if the minimum offset is less than the UE's latency capability, the UE does not detect LP WUS but directly detects PO. For a UE configured with PEI, if the minimum offset is less than the UE's latency capability, the UE does not detect LP WUS but directly detects PEI, and detects PO when PEI indicates wakeup.

[0459] Alternatively, the minimum offset is configured using the fourth method above. For a UE that is not configured with PEI or does not support PEI, if the minimum offset from the LP-WUS to the associated PO is less than the UE's latency capability, the UE does not detect the LP WUS but directly detects the PO. For a UE configured with PEI, if either of the two minimum offsets is less than the UE's latency capability, the UE does not detect the LP WUS but directly detects the PEI, and detects the PO when the PEI indicates wake-up. Alternatively, for a UE configured with PEI, if one of the two minimum offsets is less than the UE's latency capability, the UE determines the PEI or PO associated with the LP-WUS, or determines the LP-WUS associated with the PEI or PO, according to the other minimum offset. Alternatively, for a UE configured with PEI, if both of the two minimum offsets are less than the UE's latency capability, the UE does not detect the LP WUS but directly detects the PEI, and detects the PO when the PEI indicates wake-up.

[0460] Example 3

[0461] One LP-WUS can be associated with only one PO, that is, different UEs awakened by the same LP-WUS can be mapped to the same associated PO to detect paging information.

[0462] Assuming that the delay capability of the UE is defined using method 1 above, and that all UEs have the same delay capability, using method 1 above for determining the mapping relationship between LP-WUS and PO, for each UE, an associated PO can be mapped to each LP-WUS according to the delay capability of the UE. Using method 2 above for determining the mapping relationship between LP-WUS and PO, for each UE, an associated LP-WUS can be mapped to each PO according to the delay capability of the UE. For a UE configured with a PEI, the UE can determine whether to detect the PEI based on the timing relationship between the LP-WUS and the PEI associated with the PO. For example, assuming that the delay between the LP-WUS and the PEI is long enough, the UE can detect the PEI; otherwise, the UE can directly detect the PO without detecting the PEI. Another method for processing the PEI is to ensure, through the base station, that the delay between the LP-WUS and the PEI associated with the PO is long enough so that the UE can detect the PEI.

[0463] Assuming that the delay capability of the UE is defined using the above-mentioned method 2, and that all UEs have the same delay capability, using the above-mentioned method 1 for determining the mapping relationship between the LP-WUS and the PO, for one UE, for one LP-WUS, an associated PO can be mapped according to the delay capability of the UE. Using the above-mentioned method 2 for determining the mapping relationship between the LP-WUS and the PO, for one UE, for one PO, an associated LP-WUS can be mapped according to the delay capability of the UE.

[0464] Assuming that the minimum offset is configured using the above-mentioned method 1, and the minimum offset is the same for all UEs, the above-mentioned method 1 for determining the mapping relationship between LP-WUS and PO is used. For one UE, one LP-WUS can be mapped to an associated PO according to the minimum offset. For the above-mentioned method 2 for determining the mapping relationship between LP-WUS and PO, for one UE, one PO can be mapped to an associated LP-WUS according to the minimum offset. For a UE configured with PEI, the UE can determine whether to detect PEI based on the timing relationship between the LP-WUS and the PEI associated with the PO. For example, assuming that the delay between the LP-WUS and the PEI is long enough, the UE can detect PEI; otherwise, the UE can directly detect PO without detecting PEI. Another method for processing PEI is to ensure, through the base station, that the delay between the LP-WUS and the PEI associated with the PO is long enough so that the UE can detect PEI.

[0465] Assuming that the minimum offset is configured using method 2 above, and the minimum offset is the same for all UEs, using method 1 above for determining the mapping relationship between LP-WUS and PO, for one UE, for one LP-WUS, an associated PO can be mapped according to the minimum offset. For method 2 above for determining the mapping relationship between LP-WUS and PO, for one UE, for one PO, an associated LP-WUS can be mapped according to the minimum offset.

[0466] Assuming that the network device configures the minimum offset using method 1 or method 2 above, if the actual offset between the LP-WUS and the PO determined based on the minimum offset is less than the UE's latency capability, the UE does not detect the LP WUS but directly detects the PO. Alternatively, if the minimum offset is less than the UE's latency capability, the UE does not detect the LP WUS but directly detects the PO.

[0467] Example 4

[0468] One LP-WUS can be associated with one or more POs. Different UEs woken up by the same LP-WUS can be mapped to different associated POs to detect paging information.

[0469] For the method of embodiment 2, in addition to the network device configuring the minimum offset, the network device may further configure the maximum offset. For one LP-WUS, the UE determines the associated PEI or PO within the window determined by the minimum offset and the maximum offset. If there is no alternative PO within the window, the UE may exit the LP-WUS detection process and use the MR to monitor the paging information. In the latter, for one PEI or PO, the UE determines the associated LP-WUS within the window determined by the minimum offset and the maximum offset. If there is no alternative LP-WUS within the window, the UE may exit the LP-WUS detection process and use the MR to monitor the paging information. Equivalently, in addition to additionally configuring the maximum offset, the network device may also directly configure the size of the window starting from the minimum offset.

[0470] Using the aforementioned method 1 for determining the mapping relationship between an LP-WUS and a PO, multiple candidate PEIs or POs can be determined for a UE and an LP-WUS within the window determined by the minimum offset and maximum offset. The UE can detect a paging message using one of these multiple candidate PEIs or POs based on its latency capability. For example, the earliest PEI or PO among these multiple candidate PEIs or POs that meets the UE's latency capability is used as the LP-WUS-associated PEI or PO.

[0471] Using the second method for determining the mapping relationship between LP-WUS and PO, for a UE, a PEI, or a PO, multiple candidate LP-WUS can be determined within the window determined by the minimum offset and maximum offset. The UE can detect wake-up information for one of these multiple candidate LP-WUS based on its latency capability. For example, the latest LP-WUS among the multiple candidate LP-WUS that meets the UE's latency capability is used as the associated LP-WUS for the PEI or PO.
