Description

Information processing method, device, storage medium and computer program product

[0001] This disclosure claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the China Patent Office on March 7, 2024, with application number 202410262709.2 and application name “Information processing method, device, storage medium and computer program product”, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] The present disclosure relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular to an information processing method, device, storage medium, and computer program product. Background Art

[0003] To achieve energy conservation in terminals, a low-power wake-up receiver (LP-WUR) is introduced. A network device (such as a base station) sends a low-power wake-up signal (LP-WUS) to a terminal to wake up its main radio (MR) when it is asleep. The terminal uses the LP-WUR to receive the LP-WUS. After receiving the LP-WUS, the MR wakes up, and the MR listens to the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH).

[0004] However, there is no clear solution in the related art on how to determine information related to the listening duration of the MR. Summary of the Invention

[0206] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "and / or" describes the association relationship between associated objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent three situations: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0207] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "plurality" refers to two or more than two, and other quantifiers are similar thereto.

[0208] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0209] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide an information processing method and apparatus for ensuring communication between a terminal and a network device.

[0210] Among them, the method and the device are based on the same application concept. Since the principles of solving problems by the method and the device are similar, the implementation of the device and the method can refer to each other, and the repeated parts will not be repeated.

[0211] Referring to FIG1 , FIG1 is a flowchart of an information processing method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, which is applied to a terminal and includes the following steps:

[0212] Step 101: Receive first information sent by a network device, where the first information is used to indicate duration information of a first state, and the first state includes any of the following states:

[0213] The terminal turns on the main radio frequency;

[0214] After the terminal turns on the primary radio frequency, it monitors the PDCCH;

[0215] The terminal stops listening to the LP-WUS and listens to the PDCCH;

[0216] The terminal stops LP-WUR and listens to PDCCH;

[0217] The terminal monitors the PDCCH.

[0218] In this step, the terminal may receive the first information sent by the network device in one or more of the following ways:

[0219] RRC signaling; MAC CE; DCI; LP-WUS.

[0220] The first information is used to indicate the duration of the first state, including one or more of the following:

[0221] The first information is used to indicate a first duration of the first state;

[0222] The first information is used to indicate a first duration of the first state and a start time of the first state;

[0223] The first information is used to indicate a start and end time window of the first state.

[0224] The terminal may determine the first duration of the first state in one or more of the following ways:

[0225] (1) receiving a plurality of durations sent by the network device through RRC signaling and second information indicated by the LP-WUS, and taking, among the plurality of durations, a duration whose arrangement position is the arrangement position indicated by the second information as the first duration size, wherein the second information is used to indicate the arrangement position of the duration.

[0226] For example, the network device sends multiple durations through RRC signaling, such as 2 slots, 5 slots, 10 slots, 20 slots, etc. According to the arrangement position of each duration, in the multiple durations, 2 slots, 5 slots, 10 slots, and 20 slots are the 0th duration, the 1st duration, the 2nd duration, and the 3rd duration, respectively.

[0227] The network device indicates the second information through the LP-WUS, which is used to indicate the arrangement position of the durations. For example, if the bit value indicated by the LP-WUS is 0, it indicates the 0th duration, and the terminal determines the first duration to be 2 slots. If the bit value is 2, it indicates the 2nd duration, and the terminal determines the first duration to be 10 slots, and so on.

[0228] (2) The duration indicated by the network device through RRC signaling is used as the first duration. For example, if the duration indicated by the RRC signaling is 1000 and the unit duration is a time slot, then the first duration is 8 time slots.

[0229] (3) The duration indicated by the network device through the LP-WUS is used as the first duration. For example, if the duration indicated by the LP-WUS is 1000 and the unit duration is a time slot, then the first duration is 8 time slots.

[0230] (4) Receive third information indicated by the network device via the LP-WUS, and use the duration size corresponding to the first duration identifier as the first duration size based on the first mapping relationship and the third information, wherein the third information is used to indicate the first duration identifier, and the first mapping relationship is a mapping relationship between the duration identifier and the duration size. The first mapping relationship may be sent by the network device to the terminal or may be preconfigured for the terminal.

[0231] The first mapping relationship may be expressed in various forms, for example, as shown in Table 1 below:

[0232] Table 1

[0233] In Table 1, the bit value indicates the first duration identifier, and the time slot length indicates the first duration size. When the bit value indicated by the LP-WUS is 0, it indicates that the first duration size is 2 slots; when the bit value indicated by the LP-WUS is 2, it indicates that the first duration size is 10 slots, and so on.

[0234] In some embodiments, the first information is further used to indicate one or more of the following:

[0235] The resource location of the LP-WUS may include, for example, the period of the LP-WUS and one or more of the following offsets:

[0236] a first offset, the first offset being used to indicate a system frame number (SFN) offset of the LP-WUS; a second offset being used to indicate a time slot offset of the LP-WUS in an SFN; and a third offset being used to indicate an offset of the LP-WUS in a time slot;

[0237] An LP-WUS identifier, used to indicate the LP-WUS of the terminal or the LP-WUS group to which the terminal belongs;

[0238] The second duration is used to indicate the waiting duration after the terminal performs uplink transmission. For example, the second duration may be used to indicate the time required for the terminal to wait for feedback from the network device after performing uplink transmission.

[0239] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal can determine the duration information of the first state according to the first information sent by the network device, thereby determining the information related to the listening duration of the MR, ensuring the communication between the terminal and the network device.

[0240] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a terminal may determine whether to enter a first state based on received first information. For example, if the terminal needs to send uplink data, the terminal enters the first state, where the uplink data includes one or more of the following: SR, Preamble, and CG data. In this case, the duration of the first state is the sum of the first duration and the second duration.

[0241] If the terminal enters the first state, the terminal may start a first timer, where the duration of the first timer is equal to the first duration of the first state. If the first timer times out, the terminal may terminate the first state. In some embodiments, after terminating the first state, the terminal may listen to the LP-WUS.

[0242] If the terminal is in the first state, the terminal may also stop the first state, or switch from the MR listening state to the LP-WUS listening state.

[0243] For example, the terminal may receive a second instruction sent by the network device, wherein the second instruction is used to instruct the terminal to stop the first state or listen to the LP-WUS. If the terminal is in the first state, the terminal stops the first state or listens to the LP-WUS according to the second instruction.

[0244] The second instruction is sent in one or more of the following ways:

[0245] MAC CE; DCI.

[0246] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal may also determine whether to maintain the first state, restart a first timer, or start a second timer. The first timer or the second timer is used to maintain the duration of the terminal in the first state. If the second timer times out, the terminal stops the first state. The duration of the first timer is equal to the first duration of the first state, and the duration of the second timer can be set as needed.

[0247] For example, the terminal may receive a third indication sent by the network device, wherein the third indication is used to instruct the terminal whether to maintain the first state or restart a first timer or start a second timer, the first timer or the second timer being used to maintain the duration for which the terminal is in the first state.

[0253] Perform sending of UL CG.

[0254] 2 is a flowchart of an information processing method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, which is applied to a network device and includes the following steps:

[0255] Step 201: Send first information to a terminal, where the first information is used to indicate duration of a first state, where the first state includes any of the following states:

[0256] The terminal turns on the main radio frequency;

[0257] After the terminal turns on the primary radio frequency, it monitors the PDCCH;

[0258] The terminal stops listening to the LP-WUS and listens to the PDCCH;

[0259] The terminal stops LP-WUR and listens to PDCCH;

[0260] The terminal monitors the PDCCH.

[0261] The meaning of the first information may refer to the description of the aforementioned embodiment.

[0262] In this step, the network device may send the first information to the terminal in one or more of the following ways:

[0263] RRC signaling; MAC CE; DCI; LP-WUS.

[0264] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the network device may further send a second indication to the terminal, wherein the second indication is used to instruct the terminal to stop the first state or listen to the LP-WUS.

[0265] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the network device may also send a third indication to the terminal, wherein the third indication is used to indicate whether the terminal maintains the first state or restarts the first timer or starts the second timer, and the first timer or the second timer is used to maintain the length of time the terminal is in the first state.

[0266] The second instruction is sent in one or more of the following ways:

[0267] MAC CE;DCI;

[0268] The third instruction is sent in one or more of the following ways:

[0269] LP-WUS; MAC CE; DCI.

[0270] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal can determine the duration information of the first state according to the first information sent by the network device, thereby determining the information related to the listening duration of the MR, ensuring the communication between the terminal and the network device.

[0271] In one embodiment, the network device indicates the duration of the first state of the terminal through RRC signaling. Referring to Figure 3, the process may include:

[0272] Step 301: The network device configures LP-WUS for the terminal.

[0273] The network device may send first configuration information to the terminal based on the signal quality and / or terminal capability of the terminal. The first configuration information includes:

[0274] 1) First information: First duration, for example, the duration of the LP-WUS listening to wake up the MR. There are two specific methods:

[0275] Method 1: A set of listening durations, such as 2 slots, 5 slots, 10 slots, 20 slots, etc.

[0276] Method 2: A single duration, such as 2 slots.

[0277] 2) The listening period P of the LP-WUS and one or more of the following offsets:

[0278] a first offset, where the first offset is used to indicate an SFN offset of the LP-WUS;

[0279] A second offset, where the second offset is used to indicate a timeslot offset of the LP-WUS in an SFN;

[0280] A third offset is used to indicate an offset of the LP-WUS in a time slot.

[0281] 3) A first LP-WUS ID. In some embodiments, the ID may be a group ID, used to indicate which LP-WUS group the terminal belongs to.

[0282] Step 302: After receiving the first configuration information sent by the network device, the terminal listens to the LP-WUS.

[0283] The terminal calculates the position of the LP-WUS according to the period P and offset of the LP-WUS. The specific calculation formula can be:

[0284] When the network device is configured with the first offset, the second offset, and the third offset, the specific LP-WUS position calculation formula may be:

[0285] [(SFN×numberOfSlotsPerFrame×numberOfSymbolsPerSlot)+(slot number in the frame×numberOfSymbolsPerSlot)+symbol number in the slot]=(first offset×numberOfSlotsPerFrame×numberOfSymbolsPerSlot+second offset×numberOfSymbolsPerSlot+third offset+N×periodicity)modulo(1024×numberOfSlotsPerFrame×numberOfSymbolsPerSlot);

[0286] When the network device is configured with the second offset and the third offset, the specific LP-WUS position calculation formula can be:

[0287] (slot number in the frame × numberOfSymbolsPerSlot) + symbol number in the slot] = second offset × numberOfSymbolsPerSlot + third offset + N × periodicity) modulo (1024 × numberOfSlotsPerFrame × numberOfSymbolsPerSlot); When the network device is configured with the first offset and the third offset, the specific LP-WUS position calculation formula can be:

[0288] [(SFN×numberOfSlotsPerFrame×numberOfSymbolsPerSlot)+symbol number in the slot]=(first offset×numberOfSlotsPerFrame×numberOfSymbolsPerSlot+third offset+N×periodicity)modulo(1024×numberOfSlotsPerFrame×numberOfSymbolsPerSlot);

[0289] When the network device is configured with the first offset and the second offset, the specific LP-WUS position calculation formula may be:

[0290] [(SFN×numberOfSlotsPerFrame×numberOfSymbolsPerSlot)+(slot number in the frame×numberOfSymbolsPerSlot)]=(first offset×numberOfSlotsPerFrame×numberOfSymbolsPerSlot+second offset×numberOfSymbolsPerSlot+N×periodicity)modulo(1024×numberOfSlotsPerFrame×numberOfSymbolsPerSlot).

[0291] In the above formula, the parameters are defined as follows:

[0292] numberOfSlotsPerFrame: indicates the number of time slots in each frame;

[0293] numberOfSymbolsPerSlot: indicates the number of symbols in each time slot;

[0294] Slot number in the frame: indicates the number of time slots in a radio frame, for example, the number of the time slot;

[0295] Symbol number in the slot: indicates the number of symbols in a time slot, such as the symbol number;

[0296] periodicity: indicates the LP-WUS period P;

[0297] N: an integer greater than or equal to 0;

[0298] SFN: indicates the system frame number.

[0299] When the terminal detects that the LP-WUS ID information matches the first LP-WUS ID at the determined LP-WUS location, the terminal confirms that the network device has woken up the terminal, and the terminal enters the first state. The LP-WUS ID can be carried by the LP-WUS.

[0300] The terminal may determine the first duration in the following manner:

[0301] (1) When the first information is the information defined in mode 1, the network device sends a set of length lists through RRC signaling, such as 2 slots, 5 slots, 10 slots, 20 slots, etc., and indicates the arrangement position through LP-WUS, thereby indicating the first duration size.

[0302] For example, the bit value indicated by LP-WUS is 0, indicating the 0th duration, and the terminal determines the first duration to be 2 slots; if the bit value is 2, indicating the 2nd duration, the terminal determines the first duration to be 10 slots, and so on.

[0303] (2) When the first information is the information defined in mode 2, the network device indicates the specific first duration through RRC signaling, that is, the first duration is the content indicated by RRC.

[0304] (3) Predefine a table. The table definition is shown in Table 1.

[0305] In Table 1, when the bit value indicated by the LP-WUS is 0, it indicates that the first duration is 2 slots; when the bit value indicated by the LP-WUS is 2, it indicates that the first duration is 10 slots, and so on.

[0306] (4) The content of the LP-WUS indication may also include indication information of the size of the first duration. For example, if the indication information is 1000 and the unit duration is a time slot, it means that the first duration is 8 time slots.

[0307] Step 303: After the terminal confirms the first duration, the terminal may start a first timer, where the duration of the first timer is the first duration.

[0308] Step 304: In some embodiments, during the operation of the first timer, the terminal maintains the first state or restarts the first timer or starts the second timer. For example:

[0309] If a PDCCH scheduling is received from a network device or there is UL data transmission (such as new UL data transmission), the terminal may restart the first timer or start the second timer; or

[0310] Receive an indication from a network device, such as LP-WUS or DCI, to instruct the terminal to continue to maintain the first state (such as listening to PDCCH) or restart the first timer or start the second timer

[0311] The terminal maintains the first state while the first timer or the second timer is running.

[0312] Step 305: When the following first condition is met, the terminal stops the first state and listens to the LP-WUS:

[0313] The first condition may be: a first timer expires, a second timer expires, or the terminal receives a second indication sent by the network device, the second indication being used to instruct the terminal to stop the first state. Specifically, the second indication may also instruct the terminal to enter the LP-WUS state (i.e., a state using LP-WUR listening) from the first state after a certain period of time and stop using MR listening.

[0314] The second indication may be a MAC CE or a DCI.

[0315] In one embodiment, when the terminal sends the SR, the duration of the first state is determined. Referring to FIG4 , the process may include:

[0316] Step 401: The network device configures LP-WUS for the terminal.

[0317] The network device may send first configuration information to the terminal based on the signal quality and / or terminal capability of the terminal. The first configuration information includes:

[0318] 1) First information: First duration, for example, the duration of the LP-WUS listening to wake up the MR. There are two specific methods:

[0319] Method 1: A set of listening durations, such as 2 slots, 5 slots, 10 slots, 20 slots, etc.

[0320] Method 2: A single duration, such as 2 slots.

[0321] 2) A second duration is used to indicate a waiting duration after the terminal performs uplink transmission.

[0322] Step 402: After receiving the first configuration information sent by the network device, the terminal listens to the LP-WUS according to the first configuration information.

[0323] When UL data arrives at the terminal (or uplink data needs to be sent), the terminal will enter the first state and trigger SR sending.

[0324] When the terminal is in the first state, the duration of the first state (such as the duration of monitoring the PDCCH) may be the sum of the first duration and the second duration.

[0325] In some embodiments, the second duration may be an arbitrarily defined value, such as 4 time slots or 8 time slots; alternatively, the network device may notify the terminal of the second duration in step 401. In some embodiments, the terminal may also begin monitoring the PDCCH after sending the SR and after the second duration has elapsed.

[0326] Step 403: In some embodiments, during the operation of the first timer, the terminal maintains the first state or restarts the first timer or starts the second timer. For example:

[0327] If a PDCCH scheduling is received from a network device or there is UL data transmission (such as new UL data transmission), the terminal may restart the first timer or start the second timer; or

[0328] Receive an indication from a network device, such as LP-WUS or DCI, to instruct the terminal to continue to maintain the first state (such as listening to PDCCH) or restart the first timer or start the second timer

[0329] The terminal maintains the first state while the first timer or the second timer is running.

[0330] Step 404: When the following first condition is met, the terminal stops the first state and listens to the LP-WUS:

[0331] The first condition may be: a first timer expires, a second timer expires, or the terminal receives a second indication sent by the network device, the second indication being used to instruct the terminal to stop the first state. Specifically, the second indication may also instruct the terminal to enter the LP-WUS state (i.e., a state using LP-WUR listening) from the first state after a certain period of time and stop using MR listening.

[0332] The second indication may be a MAC CE or a DCI.

[0333] Through the description of the above embodiments, the problem of setting the listening duration after the terminal turns on MR and the problem of how the terminal stops using MR for listening can be solved, thereby ensuring communication between the terminal and the network device.
