Description

Status determination, indication method and device, terminal, network equipment and storage medium Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to an information receiving method, an information sending method, an information receiving device, an information sending device, a terminal, a network device, a communication system, and a storage medium. Background Art

[0002] The terminal can perform operations such as cell selection and cell reselection in the communication system to camp on a suitable cell, thereby ensuring relatively good communication quality.

[0003] During the process of selecting and reselecting candidate cells, the terminal attempts to receive information from them. If the terminal fails to obtain certain information from a candidate cell, it excludes that candidate cell from further selection and reselection. For example, in Network Energy Saving (NES) scenarios, network equipment may adjust downlink information transmission in some cells, resulting in the terminal failing to receive such downlink information. This process presents several technical issues that need to be addressed.

[0103] The embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE-Advanced (LTE-A), LTE-Beyond (LTE-B), SUPER 3G, IMT-Advanced, 4th generation mobile communication system (4G), 5th generation mobile communication system (5G), 5G new radio (NR), future radio access (FRA), new radio access technology (RAT), new radio (NR), new radio access (NX), future generation radio access (FX), Global System for Mobile communications (GSM (registered trademark)), CDMA2000, Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.20, Ultra-WideBand (UWB), Bluetooth (registered trademark), Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) networks, Device-to-Device (D2D) systems, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) systems, Internet of Things (IoT) systems, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X), systems utilizing other communication methods, and next-generation systems based on and extending these methods. Furthermore, multiple systems may be combined (for example, a combination of LTE or LTE-A with 5G).

[0104] In some embodiments, the terminal may perform operations such as cell selection and cell reselection among candidate cells in the communication system, so as to determine an appropriate cell to camp on.

[0105] In some embodiments, the primary purpose of cell selection is for a terminal to quickly select a cell with satisfactory signal quality within a selected PLMN (Public Land Mobile Network) for camping. The terminal determines whether the cell selection conditions are met based on measured cell signal strength (e.g., Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) and Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ)) and related parameters, which can be configured based on System Information Block (SIB) 1.

[0106] In some embodiments, the main purpose of cell reselection is to help the terminal reside in a cell with better signal quality and higher priority. A terminal that can perform cell reselection must meet at least the following conditions:

[0107] The terminal is in a disconnected state;

[0108] The terminal has camped on a cell (eg, completed the cell selection process).

[0109] A UE that meets the above conditions can select a more suitable cell by continuously performing cell quality detection and / or measurement.

[0110] In some embodiments, when performing cell selection or cell reselection among candidate cells, the terminal may receive first information from the candidate cells, such as System Information Block (SIB) 1. If the terminal fails to receive the first information from the first cell among the candidate cells, the terminal determines that the first cell is in a barred state, i.e., the first cell is excluded from candidate cells for a period of time (e.g., 300 seconds). During this period, when performing cell selection or cell reselection, the terminal will not consider the first cell as a candidate cell, and will not select or reselect the first cell.

[0111] In some embodiments, a network device may adjust the transmission of downlink information for some needs. For example, a network device may perform at least one of the following operations for Network Energy Saving (NES):

[0112] Stop sending downlink information, for example, downlink information enters on-demand mode;

[0113] A sparser time-domain pattern is used to send downlink information, for example, the transmission period of the downlink information is extended.

[0114] For example, if a terminal needs to obtain downlink information that has been stopped, it can send a request message to the network device. This request message is also called a wake-up signal (WUS). After receiving the request message from the terminal, the network device can send downlink information once or multiple times based on the network service load, the number of resident terminals, the service type, the time period, etc., and then stop sending downlink information again (for example, returning to the NES state).

[0115] In some embodiments, the downlink information includes at least one of the following:

[0116] Master Information Block (MIB);

[0117] Synchronization Signal and PBCH (Physical downlink Broadcast Channel) Block (SSB);

[0118] System Information Block SIB1;

[0119] Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS);

[0120] Tracking Reference Signal (TRS);

[0121] Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH);

[0122] Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH);

[0123] Newly defined signals, such as signals composed of a primary synchronization signal and a secondary synchronization signal, a discovery reference signal (DRS), etc.

[0124] However, the above operation of sending request information to the network device can only be performed by terminals that support NES (also known as NES terminals). Since traditional (legacy) terminals do not support NES mode, when the network device stops sending certain downlink information (such as SSB and / or SIB1), the traditional terminal will not send request information to the network device.

[0125] For example, even if the network device has stopped sending the first downlink information in the first cell, the traditional terminal will still attempt to receive the first downlink information in the first cell. However, since the network device has stopped sending the first downlink information, the traditional terminal cannot receive the first downlink information, which increases the overhead of the traditional terminal monitoring the downlink information. Furthermore, since the traditional terminal cannot receive the first downlink information in the first cell, it may believe that the communication quality of the first cell is poor, and thus attempt to camp on other cells through operations such as cell selection and cell reselection, which increases the latency for the traditional terminal to access the serving cell.

[0126] For example, if a network device extends the transmission period of the first downlink information, a terminal supporting NES can determine (e.g., as instructed by the network device or determined based on a predefined method) the adjusted period. However, a traditional terminal cannot determine the adjusted period, which causes the traditional terminal to continue receiving the first downlink information on the first cell according to the pre-adjusted period. This reduces the reception performance of the traditional terminal for the first downlink information and increases the complexity of receiving the first downlink information.

[0127] Therefore, in some embodiments, when adjusting downlink transmission, the network device may indicate to the legacy terminal that the first cell is in a barred state to prevent the legacy terminal from experiencing the aforementioned problem in the first cell, thereby preventing the legacy terminal from camping on the first cell for a period of time. For example, the network device may broadcast second indication information in the first cell to indicate that the first cell is in a barred state.

[0128] However, in addition to traditional terminals residing in the first cell, NES-supported terminals will also reside in the first cell. Adjusting the transmission of the first downlink information in the first cell by the network device does not cause the aforementioned problem for NES-supported terminals. In this case, if the NES terminal also determines that the first cell is banned based on the second indication information, it will cause the NES terminal to select another cell to reside in, increasing the latency for the NES terminal to access the serving cell.

[0129] FIG2 is an interactive schematic diagram showing a method for receiving information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0130] As shown in FIG2 , the information receiving method may include the following steps:

[0131] In step S201, the terminal receives instruction information sent by the network device;

[0132] In step S202, the terminal determines the state of the first cell according to the indication information.

[0133] In some embodiments, the status of the first cell includes one of the following: barred, not-barred.

[0134] In some embodiments, determining the state of the first cell according to the indication information includes: if the terminal is a traditional terminal, determining that the first cell is in the first state according to the indication information; or, if the terminal is a terminal that supports network energy saving, determining that the first cell is in the second state according to the indication information.

[0135] For example, the first state and the second state can be the same state or different states, and this disclosure does not limit this. For example, the first state is banned and the second state is not banned; or, for example, the first state is not banned and the second state is banned; or, for example, the first state is banned and the second state is banned; or, for example, the first state is not banned and the second state is not banned.

[0136] For example, other types of terminals also determine that the first cell is in the second state according to the indication information, and the specific other types are not limited in this disclosure. For example, the other types include one of the following: reduced capability (Redcap) terminal, Internet of Things terminal, non-terrestrial network (NTN) terminal.

[0137] For example, the indication information includes at least one of the following: MIB (such as the cellBarred information field or idle bit in the MIB); physical broadcast channel PBCH related information; SSB related configuration information; physical downlink control channel PDCCH related configuration information; reserved bits in downlink control information DCI; information field in system information block SIB1.

[0138] Taking the example that the first type includes traditional terminals, the second type includes terminals supporting NES, and the indication information includes the cellBarred information field in the MIB, the embodiment of the present disclosure is exemplified. The cellBarred in the MIB can indicate the state of the first cell corresponding to the terminal type receiving the information. The terminal receiving the MIB can determine the state of the first cell of the type of cellBarred according to the terminal type. For example, after receiving the MIB, the traditional terminal extracts the information field of the first cell state of the cellBarred for the traditional terminal, and determines whether the first cell state is banned or not based on the information field; after receiving the MIB, the terminal supporting NES extracts the information field of the first cell state of the cellBarred for the terminal supporting NES, and determines whether the first cell state is banned or not based on the information field.

[0139] For example, the cellBarred information field in the MIB indicates that the status of the first cell is barred. For traditional terminals, it can be determined that the first cell is barred based on the cellBarred information field. For terminals supporting NES, it can be determined that the first cell is not barred based on the cellBarred information field.

[0140] For example, the cellBarred information field in the MIB indicates that the status of the first cell is not barred. For traditional terminals, it can be determined that the first cell is not barred based on the cellBarred information field. For terminals that support NES, it can be determined that the first cell is not barred based on the cellBarred information field.

[0141] In some embodiments, determining the state of the first cell according to the indication information includes: after indicating that the state of the first cell is the first state according to the second indication information of the network device, determining the state of the first cell according to the first indication information of the network device.

[0142] In some embodiments, when the terminal determines that the state of the first cell is the first state based on the second indication information, it can further determine the state of the first cell based on the first indication information sent by the network device, and finally determine the state of the first cell based on the first indication information.

[0143] For example, the first state may be disabled, or the first state may not be disabled. The following embodiments mainly use the first state as disabled to exemplify the technical solution of the present disclosure.

[0144] In some embodiments, the terminal may be a terminal supporting NES, or may be other terminals, such as a traditional terminal. The following embodiments mainly illustrate the technical solutions of the present disclosure by taking the terminal as a terminal supporting NES.

[0145] In some embodiments, the second indication information may include at least one of the following: MIB. For example, the cellBarred information field in the MIB may be used to indicate the state of the first cell.

[0146] In some embodiments, the network device may indicate that the first cell is barred through the second indication information when downlink information transmission has been adjusted or is about to be adjusted, and / or when the network device has entered or is about to enter the NES mode. Of course, the network device may also indicate that the first cell is barred through the second indication information in other situations, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0147] In some embodiments, in addition to sending the second indication information in the first cell to indicate the state of the first cell, the network device may also send the first indication information in the first cell to indicate the state of the first cell.

[0148] The second indication information may be indication information that can be parsed by both the NES-supporting terminal and the traditional terminal to determine the state of the first cell indicated by the second indication information, so that both the NES-supporting terminal and the traditional terminal can determine the state of the first cell indicated by the second indication information, for example, the first state (banned or not banned). The first indication information may be indication information that can be parsed by the NES-supporting terminal but cannot be parsed by the traditional terminal to determine the state of the first cell indicated by the first indication information (banned or not banned), so that the NES-supporting terminal can determine the state of the first cell indicated by the first indication information, and the second terminal ultimately determines the state of the first cell based on the state indicated by the first indication information.

[0149] For example, the terminal supporting NES and the traditional terminal determine that the first cell is banned according to the second indication information, and the terminal supporting NES determines that the first cell is not banned according to the first indication information;

[0150] For example, the terminal supporting NES and the traditional terminal determine that the first cell is not banned according to the second indication information, and the terminal supporting NES determines that the first cell is banned according to the first indication information;

[0151] For example, the terminal supporting NES and the traditional terminal determine that the first cell is banned according to the second indication information, and the terminal supporting NES determines that the first cell is banned according to the first indication information;

[0152] For example, the terminal supporting NES and the traditional terminal determine that the first cell is not banned according to the second indication information, and the terminal supporting NES determines that the first cell is not banned according to the first indication information.

[0153] According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, it is possible to ensure that a legacy terminal in the first cell can determine that the first cell is banned based on the second indication information, and thus will not reside in the first cell for a period of time, thereby avoiding the aforementioned problem of reducing the reception performance of the first downlink information by the legacy terminal and increasing the complexity of receiving the first downlink information. A terminal supporting NES can further determine whether the first cell is indeed banned based on the first indication information. For example, the first indication information may indicate that the first cell is not banned, so that the terminal supporting NES can reside in the first cell in a timely manner.

[0154] Based on this, the status of the first cell is indicated to traditional terminals and terminals supporting NES respectively. When the first cell causes problems for the residence of traditional terminals, the first cell does not affect the residence of terminals supporting NES, thereby avoiding increasing the delay for NES terminals to access the service cell.

[0155] In some embodiments, a terminal (e.g., a legacy terminal) may determine that the state of the first cell is the first state based on implementation. For example, when the terminal determines that it cannot receive first downlink information (e.g., at least one of MIB, SIB1, and SSB), it may determine that the first cell is in the first state (e.g., disabled).

[0156] In some embodiments, when the terminal determines that the first cell is banned, the terminal can exclude the first cell from the candidate cells for a period of time (for example, 300 seconds). Then, when the terminal performs cell selection or cell reselection during this period, the first cell will not be used as a candidate cell, and the first cell will not be selected or reselected.

[0157] In some embodiments, if the terminal determines that the first cell is not banned, the terminal will not exclude the first cell from candidate cells. Therefore, when the terminal performs cell selection or cell reselection during this period, the terminal can use the first cell as a candidate cell. In this case, if the first information in the first cell is in an on-demand state, the terminal can send a request message to the network device to request the network device to send the first information in the first cell. After receiving the request message, the terminal can send the first information in the first cell.

[0158] In some embodiments, the first indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0159] Spare bits in the MIB;

[0160] Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) related information;

[0161] SSB related information;

[0162] Physical downlink control channel PDCCH related configuration information;

[0163] Reserved bits in downlink control information DCI;

[0164] Information field in the system information block SIB1.

[0165] In some embodiments, the PBCH-related information includes at least one of the following:

[0166] Reserved bits in PBCH;

[0167] Related information of PBCH scrambling sequence.

[0168] In some embodiments, the reserved bits in the PBCH may vary based on factors such as different SSB patterns and frequency domain ranges. For example, based on different SSB patterns and frequency domain ranges, the reserved bits carried by the PBCH are shown in Table 1 below:

[0169] Table 1

[0170] For example, the reserved bits in the PBCH may include the bits in the PBCH. and / or For example, when communicating in the FR1 frequency band, the reserved bits in the PBCH may include and bit.

[0171] In some embodiments, the terminal communicates in the first frequency domain range FR1, and the terminal may determine the state of the first cell based on the reserved bits in the PBCH;

[0172] The terminal communicates in the second frequency domain range FR2, and the terminal can determine the status of the first cell according to the MIB;

[0173] The terminal communicates in the second frequency domain range FR2, and the terminal can determine the state of the first cell according to the scrambling code sequence of the PBCH.

[0174] It should be noted that, in the scenarios of communication in the first frequency domain range and communication in the second frequency domain range, the terminal may determine the state of the first cell in a manner not limited to that shown in the above embodiment, and this disclosure does not limit this. For example, when communicating in the first frequency domain range, the state of the first cell may be determined based on the MIB, or based on the scrambling code sequence of the PBCH; for example, when communicating in the second frequency domain range, the state of the first cell may also be determined based on the PBCH.

[0175] In some embodiments, for example, when the first indication information indicates a first value (for example, 0), the terminal can determine that the state of the first cell is in a prohibited state; for example, when the first indication information indicates a second value (for example, 1), the terminal can determine that the state of the first cell is in a non-prohibited state.

[0176] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the state of the first cell based on the relevant information of the scrambling code sequence of the PBCH, including at least one of the following:

[0177] determining a state of the first cell according to relevant parameters of the scrambling code sequence of the PBCH;

[0178] The state of the first cell is determined according to the initial value of the scrambling code sequence of the PBCH.

[0179] In some embodiments, the parameters related to the PBCH scrambling sequence may include, for example, a v value corresponding to the PBCH scrambling sequence. For example, the v value may be used to scramble the PBCH bit sequence to obtain the PBCH scrambling sequence (the specific meaning of the v value may be referred to in related art, and the present disclosure does not elaborate on its meaning here). It should be noted that the parameters related to the PBCH scrambling sequence are not limited to the v value. For example, the parameters may also be the length of the PBCH scrambling sequence, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0180] Take the relevant parameters of the PBCH scrambling code sequence including the v value of the PBCH scrambling code sequence as an example.

[0181] For example, the terminal can determine whether the v value belongs to the first value set. If the v value belongs to the first value set, it can be determined that the first cell is in a prohibited state; if the v value does not belong to the first value set, it can be determined that the first cell is in a non-prohibited state.

[0182] For example, the terminal can determine the value set to which the v value belongs. If the v value belongs to the first value set, it can be determined that the first cell is in a prohibited state; if the v value belongs to the second value set, it can be determined that the first cell is in a non-prohibited state.

[0183] In some embodiments, the relevant parameters are determined based on at least one of the following:

[0184] bits in the System Frame Number (SFN);

[0185] Half-frame indication bit.

[0186] For example, the v value can be determined based on the second least significant bit (LSB) and the third LSB in the SFN, wherein the second LSB and the third LSB can be expressed as and The corresponding relationship between the value x of the second LSB and the value y of the third LSB and the value v can be shown in the following Table 2:

[0187] Table 2

[0188] For example, the terminal determines the state of the first cell based on the value set to which the v value belongs. For example, the first value set is {0, 1} and the second value set is {2, 3}. When the terminal determines that the v value is 2, it can be determined that the v value belongs to the second value set, and further determines that the first cell is in an unbanned state.

[0189] For example, the v value can be determined based on the half-frame indication bit and the 2nd LSB and the 3rd LSB in the SFN, wherein the half-frame indication bit can be expressed as The corresponding relationship between the value z of the half-frame indication bit, the value x of the second LSB, and the value y of the third LSB and the value v can be shown in the following Table 3:

[0190] Table 3

[0191] For example, the terminal determines the state of the first cell based on the value set to which the v value belongs. For example, the first value set is {0, 1, 2, 3}, and the second value set is {4, 5, 6, 7}. When the terminal determines that the v value is 5, it can be determined that the v value belongs to the second value set, and further determines that the first cell is in an unbanned state.

[0192] In some embodiments, the terminal may determine the state of the first cell according to the initial value of the scrambling code sequence of the PBCH.

[0193] For example, in the first m-sequence corresponding to the scrambling code sequence of PBCH (the specific meaning can be referred to the relevant technology, and this disclosure does not elaborate on its meaning here), if the initial value of x1(n) is determined based on the first method, the terminal can determine that the first cell is in a prohibited state; if the initial value of x1(n) is determined based on the second method, the terminal can determine that the first cell is in a non-prohibited state.

[0194] For example, the first manner may include: x1(0)=1, x1(n)=0, n=0, 1, 2,…, 30.

[0195] For example, the second manner may include: x1(1)=1, x1(n)=0, n=0, 2, 3,…, 30.

[0196] In some embodiments, the SSB-related information may include at least one of the following: k SSB , its specific meaning can be referred to the relevant technology, and this disclosure will not elaborate on it here.

[0197] In some embodiments, the SSB-related information may be used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0198] SSB is the subcarrier offset compared to the Common Resource Block (CRB) grid;

[0199] Whether the first cell provides SIB1;

[0200] If the first cell provides SIB1, the frequency domain configuration of the SSB (the SSB associated with the cell providing SIB1) may also be indicated.

[0201] In some embodiments, the SSB related information includes k SSB For example, if k SSB Belonging to the first value set, the terminal can determine that the cell is banned. SSB Belonging to the second value set, the terminal can determine that the cell is not banned.

[0202] For example, the first value set includes one or more of the following:

[0203] k SSB Less than 24 (for FR1), k SSB Less than 13 (for FR2);

[0204] k SSB Greater than or equal to 24 (for FR1), k SSB Greater than or equal to 13 (for FR2);

[0205] k SSB =30(for FR1), k SSB Equal to 14 (for FR2);

[0206] k SSB Not equal to 30 (for FR1), k SSB Equal to 14 (for FR2);

[0207] Regarding the second value set, its definition is similar to that of the first set and will not be repeated here, but the intersection of the first value set and the second value set is an empty set.

[0208] In some embodiments, the PDCCH-related configuration information includes configuration information of the PDCCH for scheduling SIB1, such as pdcch-ConfigSIB1.

[0209] In some embodiments, determining the state of the first cell according to the first indication information of the network device includes:

[0210] The configuration information of the PDCCH for scheduling SIB1 indicates a reserved state, and determines that the first cell is prohibited;

[0211] The configuration information of the PDCCH for scheduling SIB1 indicates a state other than the reserved state, and it is determined that the first cell is not prohibited.

[0212] In some embodiments, the reservation status includes at least one of the following:

[0213] The reservation status indicated by the configuration information of the control resource set corresponding to SIB1;

[0214] The reservation status indicated by the configuration information of the search space corresponding to SIB1.

[0215] For example, the control resource set corresponding to SIB1 may include control resource set zero controlResourceSetZero (CORESET#0), and the reservation status may include the reservation status of a table in the configuration information of CORESET#0 (for example, a table used to indicate the frequency domain position of CORESET#0);

[0216] For example, the search space corresponding to SIB1 may include search space zero searchSpaceZero (searchSpace#0), and the reservation status may include the reservation status of a table in the configuration information of searchSpace#0 (eg, a table for indicating the frequency domain position of searchSpace#0).

[0217] For example, the relationship between the table and the index of the reservation status may be as shown in Table 4 below:

[0218] Table 4

[0219] As shown in Table 4, the reserved status may include: index 15 of Table 13-1, indexes 8 to 15 of Table 13-1A, indexes 14 to 15 of Table 13-12, etc.

[0220] In some embodiments, the configuration information of the control resource set corresponding to SIB1 and / or the configuration information of the search space corresponding to SIB1 may include pdcch-ConfigSIB1.

[0221] For example, if the second indication information indicates a state other than the reserved state in pdcch-ConfigSIB1, such as an index other than the table index corresponding to the reserved state in the above table, since the state other than the reserved state (that is, the non-reserved state) corresponds to the configuration information of CORESET#0 and / or searchSpace#0, in this case, the terminal can determine the configuration information of CORESET#0 and / or searchSpace#0, thereby receiving CORESET#0 and / or searchSpace#0, and then being able to obtain the PDCCH for scheduling SIB1 in CORESET#0 and / or searchSpace#0, and then the terminal can receive SIB1 based on the PDCCH scheduling SIB1. That is, in this case, the terminal can receive SIB1 in the first cell, so the terminal can determine that the first cell is in a non-banned state.

[0222] For example, if the second indication information indicates the reservation status of pdcch-ConfigSIB1, such as at least one index in the table index corresponding to the reservation status in the above table, since the reservation status does not correspond to the configuration information of CORESET#0 and / or searchSpace#0, in this case, the terminal cannot obtain the configuration information of CORESET#0 and / or searchSpace#0, and cannot receive CORESET#0 and / or searchSpace#0, and the U coin can obtain the PDCCH for scheduling SIB1 in CORESET#0 and / or searchSpace#0, and then the terminal cannot receive SIB1 based on the PDCCH scheduling SIB1. That is, in this case, the terminal cannot receive SIB1 in the first cell, so the terminal can determine that the first cell is in a prohibited state.

[0223] In some embodiments, the DCI includes DCI 1_0 scrambled by a System Information-Radio Network Temporary Identifier (SI-RNTI).

[0224] For example, the network device may indicate whether the first cell is barred or not barred through a reserved bit in DCI 1_0. For example, the reserved bit may include one or more bits in a reserved information field of DCI 1_0, such as the first bit or the last bit in the reserved information field.

[0225] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the state of the first cell according to the first indication information of the network device, including:

[0226] The reserved bit in DCI 1_0 indicates a first value (e.g., 1), determining that the first cell is barred;

[0227] The reserved bit in DCI 1_0 indicates a second value (eg, 0), determining that the first cell is not barred.

[0228] In some embodiments, determining the state of the first cell according to the first indication information of the network device includes:

[0229] The first information field in SIB1 indicates that the first cell is barred, determining that the first cell is barred;

[0230] The first information field in SIB1 indicates that the first cell is not barred, and it is determined that the first cell is not barred.

[0231] In some embodiments, the first information field includes at least one of the following:

[0232] Newly defined information domain;

[0233] Traditional information domain.

[0234] In some embodiments, the newly defined information field can be a NES specific information field, specifically for indicating terminals that support network energy saving (NES), for example, the name can be set to cellBarredNES. Regarding the traditional information field in SIB1, this disclosure does not limit it.

[0235] Taking the first information field in SIB1 including the cellBarredNES information field as an example, if the information indicated by the cellBarredNES information field is "barred", the terminal can determine that the first cell is barred; if the information indicated by the cellBarredNES information field is "not barred", the terminal can determine that the first cell is not barred.

[0236] In some embodiments, for a network device that supports NES, if the network device determines that the current communication service is frequent or that the network device resides in too many cells, the network device may choose not to use the NES mode to receive and / or send system information and / or common signals, or for a network device that does not support NES technology, to avoid terminals that support NES frequently sending request information to the network device to request the network device to send downlink information, so as to ensure the service quality of traditional terminals in the first cell, the network device may choose to indicate that the first cell is banned for terminals that support NES, and that the first cell is not banned for terminals that do not support NES. In this case, the second indication information may indicate that the first cell is not banned, and the first indication information may indicate that the first cell is banned or not banned.

[0237] For example, a terminal supporting NES may first determine the status of the first cell based on the second indication information, and then determine the status of the first cell based on the first indication information. For example, if the second indication information indicates that the first cell is not banned, the terminal may further determine whether the first cell is banned based on the first indication information.

[0238] For example, a terminal supporting NES may directly ignore the second indication information, for example, ignore (eg, do not parse) the cellBarred information field in the MIB, and determine the state of the first cell only according to the first indication information.

[0239] For example, a terminal supporting NES can still determine the status of the first cell based on the second indication information (such as the cellBarred information field in the MIB). If a terminal supporting NES reads the cellBarred information field in the MIB, and determines that the first cell is in a non-barred state when the cellBarred information field indicates 'not barred', then the subsequent NES terminal can try to reside in the first cell and include the first cell in the candidate range for cell selection and cell reselection. In this case, the terminal does not need to determine the status of the first cell based on the first indication information. If a terminal supporting NES reads the cellBarred information field in the MIB, and indicates 'barred' in the cellBarred information field, the terminal still needs to determine the status of the first cell based on the first indication information.

[0240] It should be noted that the status of the first cell can be updated. For example, after the terminal determines that the first cell is not banned based on the first indication information, it can subsequently determine the status of the first cell based on other indication information (such as unicast signaling, system information, etc.) or predefined rules. For example, after the terminal determines that the first cell is not banned, it does not successfully receive the first downlink information (such as MIB, SIB1, SSB, etc.) in the first cell, then it can be determined that the first cell is banned.

[0285] In some embodiments, the terminal comprises an NES-enabled terminal.

[0286] The second aspect and the optional implementation of the optional embodiment of the second aspect can be referred to the optional implementation in the embodiment shown in Figure 2 and other related parts in the embodiment involved in Figure 2, which will not be repeated here.

[0287] To reduce energy consumption in base stations and the network, the Network Energy Saving (NES) topic of Rel-18 explored network energy conservation in some implementations. During the research phase of Rel-18, NES technologies in the time, frequency, spatial, and power domains were thoroughly evaluated. During the standards phase, some technologies in the time, spatial, and power domains were standardized. Given the time constraints of Rel-18, some technologies will continue to be standardized in Rel-19.

[0288] In NR, the time domain locations of SSB / SIB1 transmission opportunities are semi-statically configured. The periodic transmission of common signals (SSB / SIB1 / cell-common PDCCH) limits the base station's ability to use (deeper) sleep modes to save energy. Therefore, time domain technology achieves energy savings by limiting the transmission / reception of common signals and increasing the base station's sleep time.

[0289] On-demand SSB / SIB1 / adaptation of common signal in time domain technology is one of the important candidate technologies and will be subject to standardization research in Rel-19. In on-demand SSB / SIB1 technology, SSB / SIB1 is no longer sent periodically, but is sent based on UE demand.

[0290] The base station stops periodically sending SSB / SIB1 (is in the NES state) or uses a more sparse time-domain pattern to send SSB / SIB1. When the terminal has an SSB / SIB1 request, it sends a request message to the base station, such as a wake-up signal (WUS).

[0291] After receiving the WUS signal, the base station sends SSB / SIB1 (enters the non-NES state), and according to the network service load, the number of resident terminals, the service type, the time period, etc., after sending one or more SSB bursts, it stops sending SSB / SIB1 (returns to the NES state).

[0292] As mentioned above, the on-demand SSB / SIB1 technology enables the base station to send SSB / SIB1 based on an on-demand mode, without the need to send SSB / SIB1 periodically. For terminals that support NES technology, a WUS signal can be sent on demand to trigger the base station to send the corresponding SSB / SIB1. However, for legacy terminals, if the base station is in a period of stopping sending SSB / SIB1, the legacy terminal will attempt to receive the corresponding SSB / SIB1, and after trying once or multiple times, it determines that the corresponding MIB / SIB1 information cannot be obtained. The scenario increases the SSB / SIB1 monitoring overhead of the legacy terminal. In addition, after determining that the corresponding MIB / SIB1 information cannot be obtained, the terminal will try to reside in other cells through cell selection / reselection, which increases the delay for the legacy terminal cell to access the serving cell.

[0293] On the other hand, in the adaptation of common signals in the time domain (ADC), base stations adjust the common signal transmission pattern based on traffic volume, network energy conservation, and other requirements. For example, the SSB period is adjusted based on different scenarios. This adjustment is unknown to legacy terminals, increasing SSB reception complexity if the terminal resides in the cell. Furthermore, while the SSB transmission pattern adjustment is transparent to legacy terminals, it can degrade measurement performance.

[0294] Based on the above premise, this embodiment mainly designs a corresponding solution for cells that support NES or implement NES-related technologies. While allowing NES-supporting terminals to reside in the corresponding cells, it also blocks terminals that do not support NES. This ensures the benefits of NES on the network side while minimizing the impact on legacy terminals.

[0295] For example, the terminal determines the current cell status based on the following methods:

[0296] 1) Indicated as barred: determined based on the cellBarred information field indication in the MIB. If the information field indicates barred, the terminal determines that the corresponding cell status is barred.

[0297] 2) SIB1: For users supporting non-terrestrial networks (NTN), the cell status can be determined through the cellBarredNTN indication in SIB1. For users supporting NTN, if SIB1 is configured with cellBarredNTN, the terminal ignores the cellBarred information field in the MIB. For RedCap users, the cell status can be determined through the cellBarredRedCap1Rx or cellBarredRedCap2Rx indication in SIB1.

[0298] 3) SI acquisition: If the terminal fails to successfully acquire the MIB and / or fails to successfully acquire the SIB1, the terminal will treat the cell as barred and exclude the corresponding cell from the cell selection / reselection candidate cell list for 300 seconds.

[0299] However, the existing mechanism does not design corresponding cell status indication for NES-specific users and cannot be applied in NES scenarios.

[0300] The core idea of ​​the embodiments of the present disclosure is to design corresponding solutions for cells that support NES or implement NES-related technologies, and flexibly select the terminal types that can be barred according to different business needs.

[0301] In this embodiment, it is assumed that the terminal supports network energy-saving technology. The corresponding base station may be a base station that supports network energy-saving technology. The base station can choose to stop transmitting some downlink signals or channels based on network load, the number of resident terminals, service type, service period, etc. Exemplarily, the base station that supports network energy-saving may be a base station that supports on-demand SSB / SIB1 / adaptation of common signal in time / frequency / spatial domain technology. Of course, this patent does not impose any restrictions on the decision-making process and strategy of whether the base station transmits these some uplink / downlink signals or channels.

[0302] Exemplarily, the common signal (eg, first downlink information) includes but is not limited to one or more of the following: SSB; SIB1; PRACH; Paging.

[0303] In the solution of the present invention, a base station supporting network energy saving transmits or receives corresponding system information / common signals in an NES-compatible mode. Correspondingly, a terminal supporting NES transmits or receives corresponding system information / common signals based on an NES-compatible mode. It is worth noting that the NES-compatible cell in the embodiment of the present invention may be a cell supporting NES-related technologies, or a cell supporting NES-related technologies and transmitting / receiving corresponding system information / common signals based on corresponding NES-related technologies. This invention does not elaborate on this.

[0304] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the following definitions are made for the concepts involved:

[0305] Cell selection: The main purpose of cell selection is to enable the terminal to quickly select a cell with satisfactory signal quality under the selected PLMN for resident. The terminal determines whether the cell selection conditions are met based on the measured cell RSRP, RSRQ, and related parameters, which are configured based on SIB1.

[0306] Cell reselection: Cell reselection helps a terminal stay in a cell with better signal quality and a higher priority. A UE that can perform cell reselection must meet at least the following conditions: the UE is in the Idle or Inactive state; and the UE has already camped on a cell (completed the cell selection process). UEs that meet these conditions select a more suitable cell by continuously performing cell quality detection / measurement.

[0307] Cell barred: If the cell status is "barred", the terminal is not allowed to select / reselect the current cell. The terminal determines that the cell status is barred in the following ways, including but not limited to:

[0308] determining based on indication information, the indication information indicating that the cell status is “barred”;

[0309] If the system information is not obtained, eg, MIB and / or SIB1 is not obtained, the terminal considers that the cell is in a "barred" state.

[0310] To simplify the description, the embodiments of the present invention describe the above methods as the terminal determining that the cell state is "barred";

[0311] Cell not barred: If the cell status is "not barred", the terminal can select / reselect the current cell. The specific determination method corresponds to the cell barred state and is not repeated here.

[0312] The technical solution of the present disclosure is exemplified below through several embodiments.

[0313] Example 1:

[0314] If a legacy terminal that does not support NES technology attempts to camp on an NES cell, it will increase the latency of the legacy terminal's cell camping and increase the complexity of receiving system information for the legacy terminal. To avoid these issues, the embodiment of the present invention is designed to enable the legacy terminal to determine that the cell is in the barred state. At the same time, for NES-supporting terminals, the cell is determined to be either "barred" or "not barred."

[0315] To enable a legacy terminal to determine that the cell is in the barred state, one possible implementation is for the legacy terminal to read the cellBarred information field in the MIB and, if the information field indicates "barred," determine that the cell is in the barred state. Accordingly, the legacy terminal determines that selection / reselection of the current cell is not permitted.

[0316] Correspondingly, for a terminal supporting NES, when the terminal reads the cellBarred information field in the MIB and the information field indicates "barred", the terminal continues to read the second indication information and determines the cell status based on the second indication information:

[0317] Exemplarily, when the second indication information indicates that the cell status is "barred", the terminal determines not to reside in the current cell and excludes the cell from a range of cell selection / reselection candidates.

[0318] Exemplarily, when the second indication information indicates that the cell status is "not barred", the terminal chooses to stay in the current cell and includes the cell in the cell selection / reselection candidate range.

[0319] It should be noted that the terminal's selection to reside in the current cell and inclusion of the cell outside the candidate range for cell selection / reselection refers to the terminal determining the cell status based on the second indication information. If the status is subsequently acquired based on other indication information / system information, the cell status may be updated. For example, if the terminal fails to successfully receive SIB1 after the second indication information indicates that the cell status is "not barred," the terminal may determine that the corresponding cell status has changed to "barred."

[0320] In some embodiments, the first information includes one or more of the following:

[0321] Embodiment 1.1: MIB spare bits / PBCH reserved bits.

[0322] The second indication information is based on the reserved bit indication carried by the MIB and / or PBCH.

[0323] Exemplarily, the indication information is based on a spare bit indication in the MIB;

[0324] Exemplarily, the indication information is based on a reserved bit indication carried by the PBCH;

[0325] Based on different SSB patterns and frequency domain ranges, the reserved bits carried by PBCH are shown in Table 1 above.

[0326] For example, in the FR1 licensed scenario, the reserved bits carried by the PBCH are and

[0327] Exemplarily, the indication information is based on the Bit or Bit indication;

[0328] For example, in the FR1 scenario, the indication information is based on the PBCH carried Bit or Bit indication; in the FR2 scenario, the indication information is based on the spare bit indication in the MIB;

[0329] For example, in the FR1 scenario, the indication information is based on the PBCH carried Bit or Bit indication; in the FR2 scenario, the indication information is determined based on the scrambling mode of the PBCH. For the specific scrambling mode, see the subsequent embodiment 1.2;

[0330] Exemplarily, when the indication information indicates the first value, eg, the indication is 0, the terminal determines that the cell is in the barred state, the terminal will not choose to camp on the current cell, and exclude the cell from the range of cell selection / reselection candidate cells.

[0331] Exemplarily, when the indication information indicates a second value, eg, the indication is 1, the terminal determines that the cell is in a not barred state, the terminal will camp on the current cell, and include the cell in a range of candidate cells for cell selection / reselection;

[0332] Exemplarily, if the terminal determines that the cell is in the not barred state, if the current cell is the cell corresponding to on-demand SSB / SIB1, the terminal sends a trigger message to trigger the base station to send SSB / SIB1 and attempt to receive SSB / SIB1; correspondingly, if the base station receives the trigger message, it can start transmitting SSB / SIB1.

[0333] Example 1.2: PBCH scrambling sequence

[0334] Exemplarily, the indication method is determined based on the v value of the PBCH scrambling sequence. For users supporting network energy saving, if the v value belongs to a first value set, the terminal determines that the cell is in a barred state; if the v value belongs to a second value set, the terminal determines that the cell is in a not barred state;

[0335] For example, the first value set is {0, 1}, and the second value set is {2, 3}, and the corresponding v value is based on the 2nd and 3rd LSB of SFN (ie, ) is determined, and the corresponding relationship is shown in Table 2 above.

[0336] For example, the first value set shown is {0, 1, 2, 3}, and the second value set is {4, 5, 6, 7}, and the corresponding v value is based on the half-frame indication bit, ie, The 2nd and 3rd LSB of SFN are determined, and the corresponding relationship is shown in Table 3 above.

[0337] Exemplarily, the indication method is determined based on an initial value of a PBCH scrambling sequence. Exemplarily, if the initial value of the first m-sequence x1(n) corresponding to the PBCH scrambling sequence is determined based on the following method: x1(0)=1, x1(n)=0, n=0, 1, 2, ..., 30, the terminal determines that the cell is in a barred state; if the initial value of x1(n) is determined based on the following method: x1(1)=1, x1(n)=0, n=0, 2, 3, ..., 30, the terminal determines that the cell is not in a barred state.

[0338] Exemplarily, if the terminal determines that the cell is in a barred state, the terminal will not choose to camp on the current cell and exclude the cell from a range of candidate cells for cell selection / reselection.

[0339] Exemplarily, if the terminal determines that the cell is in the not barred state, the terminal will camp on the current cell and include the cell in the range of candidate cells for cell selection / reselection;

[0340] Exemplarily, if the terminal determines that the cell is in the not barred state, if the current cell is the cell corresponding to on-demand SSB / SIB1, the terminal sends a trigger message to trigger the base station to send SSB / SIB1 and attempt to receive SSB / SIB1; correspondingly, if the base station receives the trigger message, it can start transmitting SSB / SIB1.

[0341] Example 1.3: k SSB

[0342] For example, the k SSB When the value belongs to the first value set, the terminal determines that the cell is in the barred state, the terminal will not choose to camp on the current cell, and exclude the cell from the range of cell selection / reselection candidate cells; the first value set includes one or more of the following:

[0343] k SSB Less than 24 (for FR1), k SSB Less than 13 (for FR2);

[0344] k SSB Greater than or equal to 24 (for FR1), k SSB Greater than or equal to 13 (for FR2);

[0345] k SSB =30(for FR1), kSSB Equal to 14 (for FR2);

[0346] k SSB Not equal to 30 (for FR1), k SSB Equal to 14 (for FR2);

[0347] For example, the k SSB When the value belongs to the second value set, the terminal determines that the cell is in the not barred state, the terminal will camp on the current cell, and include the cell in the range of candidate cells for cell selection / reselection;

[0348] The intersection of the second value set and the first value set is an empty set. The definition of the second value set is similar to that of the first value set and will not be repeated here.

[0349] Exemplarily, if the terminal determines that the cell is in the not barred state, if the current cell is the cell corresponding to on-demand SSB / SIB1, the terminal sends a trigger message to trigger the base station to send SSB / SIB1 and attempt to receive SSB / SIB1; correspondingly, if the base station receives the trigger message, it can start transmitting SSB / SIB1.

[0350] Example 1.4: pdcch-ConfigSIB1

[0351] The second indication information is based on the reservation status indication of pdcch-ConfigSIB1.

[0352] Exemplarily, the reservation status of the pdcch-ConfigSIB1 may be the reservation status of the table corresponding to controlResourceSetZero in pdcch-ConfigSIB1, and / or the reservation status of the table corresponding to searchSpaceZero in pdcch-ConfigSIB1, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0353] Exemplarily, if the second indication information indicates the reservation state of pdcch-ConfigSIB1, the terminal determines that the cell is in the barred state, the terminal will not choose to camp on the current cell, and exclude the cell from the range of cell selection / reselection candidate cells;

[0354] Illustratively, the reservation status includes: index 15 of Table 13-1, indexes 8 to 15 of Table 13-1A, indexes 14 to 15 of Table 13-12, etc. The table indexes corresponding to the specific reservation status are shown in Table 4 above.

[0355] Exemplarily, if the second indication information indicates a state other than the reserved state of pdcch-ConfigSIB1, for example, the above table defines other index values ​​other than the table index corresponding to the reserved state, the terminal determines that the cell is in the not barred state, the terminal will reside in the current cell, and include the cell in the cell selection / reselection candidate cell range.

[0356] Exemplarily, if the terminal determines that the cell is in the not barred state, if the current cell is the cell corresponding to on-demand SSB / SIB1, the terminal sends a trigger message to trigger the base station to send SSB / SIB1 and attempt to receive SSB / SIB1; correspondingly, if the base station receives the trigger message, it can start transmitting SSB / SIB1.

[0357] Example 1.5: DCI 1_0

[0358] The second indication information is based on the DCI 1_0 information field indication.

[0359] Exemplarily, the DCI is DCI 1_0 scrambled by SI-RNTI.

[0360] Exemplarily, the NES terminal determines whether the cell is barred based on a reserved bit of DCI 1_0. The reserved bit may be the first reserved bit, the last reserved bit, or one of the bits in the DCI 1_0 reserved information field.

[0361] Exemplarily, if the reserved bit indication is 1 (0), the terminal determines that the cell is in a barred state, the terminal will not choose to camp on the current cell, and exclude the cell from the range of candidate cells for cell selection / reselection;

[0362] Exemplarily, if the reserved bit indication is 0 (1), the terminal determines that the cell is in the not barred state, the terminal will camp on the current cell, and include the cell in the range of candidate cells for cell selection / reselection;

[0363] Exemplarily, if the terminal determines that the cell is in the not barred state, if the current cell is the cell corresponding to on-demand SSB / SIB1, the terminal sends a trigger message to trigger the base station to send SSB / SIB1 and attempt to receive SSB / SIB1; correspondingly, if the base station receives the trigger message, it can start transmitting SSB / SIB1.

[0364] Example 1.6: SIB1

[0365] The second indication information is based on the SIB1 information field indication.

[0366] Exemplarily, the SIB1 information field is an NES specific information field, which is only applicable to users supporting NES features. Exemplarily, the information field is cellBarredNES.

[0367] Illustratively, the SIB 1 information field is an existing information field, and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0368] Taking the information field cellBarredNES as an example, if the cellBarredNES information field indicates "barred", the terminal determines that the cell is in the barred state, the terminal will not choose to camp on the current cell, and exclude the cell from the range of candidate cells for cell selection / reselection;

[0369] Taking the information field cellBarredNES as an example, if the cellBarredNES information field indicates "not barred", the terminal determines that the cell is in the not barred state, the terminal will camp on the current cell, and include the cell in the candidate cell range for cell selection / reselection;

[0370] This invention primarily targets cells that support NES or implement NES-related technologies, designing a corresponding solution that allows NES-capable terminals to reside in the corresponding cells while blocking terminals that do not. This ensures the benefits of NES on the network side while minimizing the impact on legacy terminals.

[0371] Example 2:

[0372] Another possible implementation method is that for base stations that support NES technology, if the base station determines that the current communication services are frequent or there are too many resident cells, the base station chooses not to use the NES corresponding mode to transmit / receive the corresponding system information / public signal, or for base stations that do not support NES technology, in order to avoid NES terminals frequently requesting corresponding information / public signals based on WUS and ensure the service quality of legacy terminals, the base station may choose to barred the corresponding NES terminal, and at the same time, not barred the legacy terminal.

[0373] Based on the above problems, the embodiment of the present invention is designed to enable the legacy terminal to determine that the cell is in the not barred state. At the same time, for the NES terminal, it is determined that the cell is in one of the "barred" or "not barred" states.

[0374] To enable a legacy terminal to determine that a cell is in the not barred state, one possible implementation is for the legacy terminal to read the cellBarred information field in the MIB and, if the field indicates "not barred," determine that the cell is in the not barred state. Accordingly, the legacy terminal attempts to camp on the current cell and include the cell in the candidate range for cell selection / reselection.

[0375] Correspondingly, for NES-supporting terminals, one possible implementation is that the terminal reads the cellBarred information field in the MIB and, when the information field indicates "not barred," determines that the cell is in the not barred state. Accordingly, the NES terminal attempts to camp on the current cell and include the cell in the candidate range for cell selection / reselection.

[0376] Correspondingly, for a terminal supporting NES, in one possible implementation, the terminal reads the cellBarred information field in the MIB, and when the information field indicates "not barred", the terminal continues to read the second indication information and determines the cell status based on the second indication information:

[0377] Exemplarily, when the second indication information indicates that the cell status is "barred", the terminal determines not to reside in the current cell and excludes the cell from a range of cell selection / reselection candidates.

[0378] Exemplarily, when the second indication information indicates that the cell status is "not barred", the terminal chooses to stay in the current cell and includes the cell in the cell selection / reselection candidate range.

[0379] Correspondingly, for NES terminals, in one possible implementation, when the terminal determines that the information field corresponding to the second indication information exists, the NES terminal ignores the cellBarred information field indication information in the MIB and determines the cell status based on the second indication information:

[0380] Exemplarily, when the second indication information indicates that the cell status is "barred", the terminal determines not to reside in the current cell and excludes the cell from a range of cell selection / reselection candidates.

[0381] Exemplarily, when the second indication information indicates that the cell status is "not barred", the terminal chooses to stay in the current cell and includes the cell in the cell selection / reselection candidate range.

[0382] It is worth noting that the terminal's selection to reside in the current cell and inclusion of the cell outside the candidate range for cell selection / reselection refers to the terminal determining the cell status based on the second indication information. If the status is subsequently acquired based on other indication information / system information, the cell status may be updated. For example, if the terminal indicates that the cell status is "not barred" in the second indication information. If SIB1 is not successfully received, the terminal may treat the corresponding cell status as "barred".

[0383] The first information may be defined based on Examples 1.1 to 1.5, and will not be described in detail here.

[0384] The disclosed embodiments primarily target cells that do not support NES or implement NES-related technologies. These solutions allow legacy terminals to reside in these cells while blocking NES-capable terminals. This ensures legacy terminal performance while reducing base station implementation complexity.
