[0160] In step S2102 , the terminal 101 measures a reference signal through MR to obtain a measurement result.

[0161] Optionally, the MR of the terminal 101 measures a received reference signal such as an SSB to obtain a measurement result.

[0168] In some embodiments, the network device 102 may configure an offset value for the terminal 101, where the offset value is applicable to different types of low power consumption signals. For example, the network device 102 configures an offset value to indicate a power offset of the LP WUS or LP SS relative to a reference signal.

[0169] In some embodiments, the network device 102 configures corresponding offsets for different low-power signals. For example, the network device 102 configures a first offset (power offset 1) for the LP WUS to indicate the power deviation of the LP WUS relative to the reference signal, and configures a second offset (power offset 2) for the LP SS to indicate the power offset of the LP SS relative to the reference signal.

Delta2 may be a value configured by the base station or defined by the protocol to ensure a certain degree of RSRP margin to avoid the situation where the LP WUS or LP SS cannot be detected due to fluctuations in the LP WUS or LP SS receiving level after LR is enabled. Delta2 can be configured or not configured.

[0253] In the eighth example, if RLR >=Threshold2+delta2, and / or, Terminal 101 turns on LR.

[0254] Optionally, in this embodiment, the low-power signal may be LP WUS and / or LP SS, and (Threshold2+delta2) may be the first threshold or the second threshold. Referring to the meaning of the parameters in the first threshold or the second threshold, Threshold-q2 may be the target SINR of the LR, or a value configured by the base station or defined by the protocol. The target SINR of the LR may be the target SINR of the LR receiving LP WUS, or the target SINR of the LR receiving LP SS, or the larger value of the target SINR of the LR receiving LP WUS and the target SINR of the LR receiving LP SS. delta-q2 may be a value configured by the base station or defined by the protocol, which is used to ensure a certain degree of RSRQ margin to avoid the situation where the LP WUS or LP SS cannot be detected when the LP WUS or LP SS reception level fluctuates after the LR is turned on.

[0259] Optionally, the terminal 101 receives a low power consumption signal sent by the network device through the LR, such as monitoring LP WUS or LP SS.

[0260] Optionally, after the terminal 101 determines to turn on the LR according to the threshold condition, it indicates that the signal strength of the LP WUS or LP SS is good enough, and the LR can receive the LP WUS or LP SS. For example, the LR can detect the LP SS of the serving cell for the RRM measurement of the serving cell, and / or the LR can detect the LP SS of the neighboring cell for the RRM measurement of the neighboring cell.

[0261] Step S2106: The terminal 101 performs corresponding operations according to the received low power consumption signal.

[0262] Optionally, if the terminal 101 receives an LP WUS through the LR, and the LP WUS indicates wake-up, the terminal 101 needs to wake up the MR to communicate with the network device 102 .

[0263] Optionally, if terminal 101 receives an LPSS via the LR, terminal 101 may synchronize based on the LPSS or perform RRM measurements based on the LPSS via the LR. Optionally, the RRM measurements may include local cell RRM measurements and / or neighboring cell RRM measurements.
