[0042] The capability information reporting method, apparatus, communication equipment, and medium provided in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through some embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0043] To reduce terminal reception activity in standby mode, effectively shut down the RF and baseband (i.e., modem) modules, and significantly reduce power consumption during communication reception, a near-zero-power receiver can be incorporated into the terminal's receiving module. This near-zero-power receiver eliminates the need for complex RF module signal detection (e.g., amplification, filtering, or quantization) and modem signal processing, relying solely on passive matched filtering and low-power signal processing.

[0044] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned near-zero power receiver can be an LP-WUR, which can also be called an almost zero power wake up radio (AZP-WUR). As shown in Figure 2, the receiving end of the LP-WUR includes a main communication module and a low-power receiving module (also called a low-power wake-up receiving module), wherein the main communication module is used for transmitting and receiving mobile communication data, and the low-power receiving module is used to receive the wake-up signal. The terminal turns on the low-power receiving module in the energy-saving state to monitor the low-power wake-up signal (LP-WUS), and turns off or enters the sleep state of the main communication module to maintain a low power consumption level, thereby achieving power saving by receiving the wake-up signal. When downlink data arrives, the network will send LP-WUS to the terminal. After the terminal monitors LP-WUS through the low-power receiving module, it triggers the main communication module to turn on or be awakened after a series of judgments, and at this time the low-power receiving module enters the closed state from the working state. The low-power wake-up receiving module can be turned on continuously or intermittently, and can receive LP-WUS when turned on.

[0045] It should be noted that LP-WUR can have different architectures, such as RF envelope detection, IF envelope detection, baseband envelope detection, etc.

[0046] On the base station side, by triggering the wake-up signal on demand (i.e. on-demand), the LP-WUR can be activated to obtain the activation notification, thereby triggering a series of processes inside the terminal, such as turning on the RF transceiver and baseband processing modules. This wake-up signal can usually be some relatively simple binary on-off keying (OOK) signal. The LP-WUR can obtain the wake-up notification through simple energy detection and subsequent possible sequence detection and identification processes. The wake-up signal can alert the LP-WUR that there is a physical downlink control channel transmission or other communication.

[0047] It should be noted that the wake-up signal may have a variety of different waveforms, such as OOK, frequency-shift keying (FSK), or orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). For different waveforms, the corresponding LP-WUR architecture is also different.

[0048] Currently, receiver sensitivity is the most fundamental and primary metric for measuring mobile terminal receiver performance. Receiver sensitivity is defined as RF power that meets ≥95% throughput on a reference measurement channel. Receiver sensitivity is assessed by setting the terminal in loopback mode and establishing a connection with a base station simulator on a test channel. The base station simulator transmits a downlink test signal (i.e., the reference measurement channel). The terminal receiver demodulates the received test signal and returns an acknowledgment (ACK) or negative acknowledgment (NACK). The base station simulator continuously reduces the downlink signal power until the terminal's received throughput reaches 95% of the theoretical maximum throughput. The downlink power measured at this point is then recorded.

[0049] ACS is a measure of a mobile terminal's receiver's ability to suppress adjacent channel interference. It is defined as the ratio of the receive filter attenuation on a given channel frequency to the receive filter attenuation on the adjacent channel. ASCS is similar to ACS, but differs in that it measures interference suppression within the channel, specifically the ratio of the signal attenuation within a given channel bandwidth to the signal attenuation within the adjacent channel bandwidth.

[0050] To avoid interference between adjacent channels, the specification defines the guard bandwidth, its size, and channel bandwidth, as well as the subcarrier spacing. To provide sufficient ASCS / ACS for WUS, a certain number of PRBs (also known as guard resource blocks) must be reserved during scheduling. The number of PRBs required is related to the WUR architecture and performance, as well as the WUS waveform. Due to different WUR architectures, the coverage range of different WURs and waveforms varies. In cases of poor coverage, the terminal can inform the network of the required WUS power boost.

[0051] In NR networks, terminals often support different functions. In order for the network to fully understand the functions supported by the terminal and make correct configurations, terminal capabilities (i.e., UE capability) need to be reported. UE Capability mainly involves two processes: UE Capability request and UE Capability reporting. When the base station requires the terminal to report UE Capability, the base station will send the UECapabilityEnquiry command to the terminal; after receiving the UECapabilityEnquiry command, the terminal can report the terminal capability UECapabilityInformation according to the command.

[0052] Currently, terminals can report assistance information (i.e., assistance information) based on network configuration; this configuration information is contained in the information element of the "RRC Reconfiguration" message. The purpose of reporting assistance information is to allow the terminal to notify the network of terminal status details, such as power saving or terminal overheating. Furthermore, after the terminal reports its capabilities to the base station, the base station can report these capabilities to the core network's Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) for storage.

[0053] From the above, it can be seen that when the access network equipment configures WUS, in order to ensure sufficient ACS or ASCS, a certain number of PRBs need to be reserved. However, since the WUS configuration information such as the WUR architecture and WUS waveform supported or required by different terminals may not be the same, the number of PRBs required by different terminals may also be different. As a result, when the access network equipment configures WUS, the number of PRBs reserved may not be the number of PRBs required by the terminal, which will result in poor accuracy in configuring WUS. In order to enable the access network equipment to better allocate WUS and NR signal resources, the terminal can report more detailed interference suppression information to the access network equipment, but there is currently no relevant solution.

[0054] To solve the above problems, embodiments of the present application provide a capability information reporting method, apparatus, communication device, and medium. The capability information reporting method provided in embodiments of the present application can be applied to scenarios where access network devices configure WUS or artificial intelligence Internet of Things scenarios.

[0055] For example, when an access network device is configuring WUS, the terminal can report capability information to the access network device; the capability information includes WUS configuration information supported or required by the terminal; and receive target WUS configuration information from the access network device, where the target WUS configuration information is related to the WUS configuration information indicated by the capability information. With this solution, since the terminal can report capability information including WUS configuration information supported or required by the terminal to the access network device and receive target WUS configuration information related to the WUS configuration information indicated by the capability information from the access network device, the access network device can reserve the required number of PRBs for the terminal based on the WUS configuration information supported or required by the terminal when configuring WUS, thereby improving the accuracy of WUS configuration.

[0056] The embodiment of the present application provides a capability information reporting method, and Figure 3 shows a flow chart of the capability information reporting method provided by the embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 3, the capability information reporting method provided by the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps 301 and 302.

[0057] Step 301: The terminal reports capability information to the access network device.

[0058] The capability information is used to configure WUS for access network equipment, and the capability information includes WUS configuration information supported or required by the terminal.

[0059] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the terminal may report the above capability information to the access network device through radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

[0060] Specifically, the terminal may report the capability information to the access network device through the UE Capability reporting or the auxiliary information reporting.

[0061] Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the capability information may include at least one of the following:

[0062] At least one WUS waveform supported by the terminal;

[0063] At least one WUS bandwidth supported by the terminal;

[0064] At least one WUS operating frequency band supported by the terminal;

[0065] The WUS signal power change value required by the terminal;

[0066] The first information is related to a first number of PRBs required by the terminal, where the first number of PRBs is: a number of PRBs that meets at least one of an ACS indicator and an ASCS indicator.

[0067] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the first number of PRBs may be: a minimum number of PRBs required by the terminal to meet at least one of the ACS indicator and the ASCS indicator.

[0068] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned number of PRBs may also be referred to as the number of guard RBs (i.e., protected resource blocks).

[0069] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, any one of the at least one WUS waveform may be a binary on-off keying (OOK) waveform or an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) waveform. The first number of PRBs may include the number of PRBs corresponding to each of the at least one WUS waveform, where the number of PRBs corresponding to each WUS waveform may be agreed upon by a protocol.

[0070] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, any one of the at least one WUS bandwidth may be 1.4 MHz or 5 MHz, etc.

[0071] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the WUS signal power change value may be any power change value such as 3dB or 6dB.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present application, since the above-mentioned capability information may include at least one of the above-mentioned WUS waveform, at least one of the above-mentioned WUS bandwidth, the WUS operating frequency band, the above-mentioned WUS signal power change value and at least one of the above-mentioned first information, different capability information can be reported to the access network device, so that the access network device can configure the WUS according to the different capability information reported, thereby improving the flexibility of configuring the WUS.

[0073] The above first information is described in detail below through three possible implementation methods.

[0074] A possible implementation

[0075] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the first information may be the first PRB number.

[0076] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the terminal may directly report the first number of PRBs to the access network device.

[0077] In an embodiment of the present application, since the above-mentioned first information can be the above-mentioned first PRB number, the access network device can directly configure the WUS based on the number of PRBs that can enable the terminal to meet at least one of the ACS indicator and the ASCS indicator, thereby reserving the required number of PRBs for the terminal and improving the accuracy of configuring the WUS.

[0078] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the terminal supports at least two WUS waveforms. Exemplarily, the first number of PRBs may include: the number of PRBs corresponding to each of the at least two WUS waveforms, wherein the number of PRBs corresponding to each WUS waveform may be agreed upon by the protocol.

[0079] For example, assuming that the at least two WUS waveforms include WUS waveform 1 and WUS waveform 2, and the number of PRBs corresponding to WUS waveform 1 is a, the number of PRBs corresponding to WUS waveform 2 is b, and both a and b are positive integers; then the first number of PRBs includes a and b.

[0080] In an embodiment of the present application, since the first number of PRBs can be associated with multiple WUS waveforms when the terminal supports multiple WUS waveforms, a more detailed number of PRBs can be reported to the access network device to improve the accuracy of WUS configuration of the network test device.

[0081] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the terminal supports at least two WUS bandwidths. Exemplarily, the first number of PRBs may include: the number of PRBs corresponding to each of the at least two WUS bandwidths.

[0082] For example, assuming that the above-mentioned at least two WUS bandwidth waveforms include WUS bandwidth 1 and WUS bandwidth 2, and the number of PRBs corresponding to WUS bandwidth 1 is c, the number of PRBs corresponding to WUS bandwidth 2 is d, and both c and d are positive integers; then the above-mentioned first number of PRBs includes c and d.

[0083] In an embodiment of the present application, since the first number of PRBs can be associated with the multiple WUS bandwidths when the terminal supports multiple WUS bandwidths, a more detailed number of PRBs can be reported to the access network device to improve the accuracy of WUS configuration of the network test device.

[0084] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the terminal supports at least two WUS waveforms and at least two WUS bandwidths. Exemplarily, the first number of PRBs may include: each WUS bandwidth in the at least two WUS bandwidths, and the number of PRBs corresponding to each WUS waveform in the at least two WUS waveforms.

[0085] For example, assuming that the at least two WUS waveforms include WUS waveform I and WUS waveform II, and the at least two WUS bandwidth waveforms include WUS bandwidth I and WUS bandwidth II; then the first number of PRBs includes: the number of PRBs corresponding to WUS bandwidth I under WUS waveform I, the number of PRBs corresponding to WUS bandwidth I under WUS waveform II, the number of PRBs corresponding to WUS bandwidth II under WUS waveform I, and the number of PRBs corresponding to WUS bandwidth II under WUS waveform II.

[0086] In an embodiment of the present application, since when the terminal supports multiple WUS waveforms and multiple WUS bandwidths, the above-mentioned first PRB number can be associated with the multiple WUS waveforms and the multiple WUS bandwidths, the further subdivided PRB number can be reported to the access network device to further improve the accuracy of the network measurement device configuring WUS.

[0087] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned first PRB number is the PRB number corresponding to the lowest frequency point or the highest frequency point of the WUS bandwidth supported by the terminal, and the PRB number corresponding to the lowest frequency point of the WUS bandwidth supported by the terminal is the same as the PRB number corresponding to the highest frequency point of the WUS bandwidth supported by the terminal.

[0088] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the WUS bandwidth supported by the terminal may be all WUS bandwidths supported by the terminal, or may be at least one WUS bandwidth reported by the terminal.

[0089] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the number of PRBs corresponding to the lowest frequency point may also be referred to as the number of PRBs at the low-frequency edge.

[0090] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the number of PRBs corresponding to the above-mentioned highest frequency point may also be referred to as the number of PRBs at the high-frequency edge.

[0091] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the first number of PRBs is the number of PRBs corresponding to the lowest frequency point, and the number of PRBs corresponding to the highest frequency point. It can be understood that: the number of PRBs corresponding to the lowest frequency point and the number of PRBs corresponding to the highest frequency point are both the first number of PRBs. That is, at this time, the number of PRBs corresponding to the lowest frequency point and the number of PRBs corresponding to the highest frequency point are the same.

[0092] That is, when the number of PRBs corresponding to the lowest frequency point is the same as the number of PRBs corresponding to the highest frequency point, the terminal may report the number of PRBs as the first number of PRBs to the access network device.

[0093] In an embodiment of the present application, since the above-mentioned first PRB number can be the PRB number corresponding to the lowest frequency point and the highest frequency point of the WUS bandwidth supported by the terminal, it is only necessary to report the first PRB number to the access network device so that the access network device can know the PRB number corresponding to the lowest frequency point and the highest frequency point, thereby simplifying the reported capability information and saving signaling overhead.

[0094] Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the first number of PRBs may include at least one of the following:

[0095] The number of PRBs corresponding to the lowest frequency of the WUS bandwidth supported by the terminal;

[0096] The number of PRBs corresponding to the highest frequency point of the WUS bandwidth supported by the terminal.

[0097] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the terminal may report the number of PRBs corresponding to the lowest frequency point and the number of PRBs corresponding to the highest frequency point, respectively. It is understood that the number of PRBs corresponding to the lowest frequency point and the number of PRBs corresponding to the highest frequency point may be different.

[0098] That is to say, when the number of PRBs corresponding to the above-mentioned lowest frequency point is different from the number of PRBs corresponding to the above-mentioned highest frequency point, the terminal can report at least one of the number of PRBs corresponding to the lowest frequency point and the number of PRBs corresponding to the highest frequency point to the access network device respectively.
