Description

Method, device, terminal and network-side equipment for determining public signal configuration

[0001] This disclosure claims priority to the Chinese patent disclosure with application number 202410403704.7 filed with the Chinese Patent Office on April 3, 2024, and disclosed in the name “Method, device, terminal and network-side equipment for determining public signal configuration”, and the Chinese patent disclosure with application number 202410578145.3 filed with the Chinese Patent Office on May 10, 2024, and disclosed in the name “Method, device, terminal and network-side equipment for determining public signal configuration”, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] In the New Radio (NR) system of the related technology, the base station needs to periodically send / receive common signals to ensure the normal operation of the terminal under network coverage. Such common signals include synchronization signals and physical broadcast channel (PBCH) blocks (Synchronization Signal and PBCH block, SSB), paging downlink control information (DCI) and physical random access channel (PRACH) signals.

[0004] Currently, the network can only notify terminals in the Radio Resource Control IDLE (RRC_IDLE) or inactive (INACTIVE) state of changes to their common signal configurations through the Broadcast Control Channel (BCCH) modification mechanism. This requires sending paging DCI and system information scheduling signaling to all user equipment (UEs), resulting in significant signaling overhead. Furthermore, since the network can only apply the updated common signal configurations in the next modification cycle, this approach also requires significant update latency.

[0005] For terminals in the Radio Resource Control (RRC) connected (RRC_CONNECTED) state, the network needs to indicate updated common signal time domain information to the terminal through RRC signaling. This approach requires a large application delay and cannot complete the adaptation of the common signal configuration in a timely manner. Summary of the Invention

For example, a personal communication service (PCS) phone, a cordless phone, a session initiation protocol (SIP) phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a personal digital assistant (PDA), and other devices. The wireless terminal device may also be referred to as a system, a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a mobile station, a remote station, an access point, a remote terminal device, an access terminal device, a user terminal device, a user agent, or a user device, but is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0196] The network device 12 involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be a base station, which may include multiple cells providing services to terminals. Depending on the application scenario, the base station may also be called an access point, or may be a device in an access network that communicates with a wireless terminal device through one or more sectors on an air interface, or may be called another name. The network device may be used to interchange received air frames with Internet Protocol (IP) packets, acting as a router between the wireless terminal device and the rest of the access network, wherein the rest of the access network may include an Internet Protocol (IP) communication network. The network device may also coordinate attribute management of the air interface. For example, the network device involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be a base transceiver station (BTS) in the Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) or code division multiple access (CDMA), a network device (NodeB) in wide-band code division multiple access (WCDMA), an evolutionary Node B (eNB or e-NodeB) in the long term evolution (LTE) system, a 5G base station (gNB) in the 5G network architecture (next generation system), a home evolved Node B (HeNB), a relay node, a femto, a pico, etc., and is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. In some network structures, the network device may include a centralized unit (CU) node and a distributed unit (DU) node, and the centralized unit and the distributed unit may also be geographically separated.

[0197] Network devices and terminal devices can each use one or more antennas for Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) transmission. MIMO transmission can be single-user MIMO (SU-MIMO) or multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO). Depending on the configuration and number of antenna combinations, MIMO transmission can be two-dimensional MIMO (2D-MIMO), three-dimensional MIMO (3D-MIMO), full-dimensional MIMO (FD-MIMO), or massive MIMO. It can also use diversity transmission, precoding, or beamforming.

[0198] The following first introduces the contents involved in the solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0199] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the common signals mentioned include one or more of the following:

[0200] Synchronization signal block SSB;

[0201] Physical Random Access Channel PRACH signal;

[0202] Paging signal or paging downlink control information.

[0203] The base station needs to periodically send and receive public signals to ensure the normal operation of terminals within the network coverage. At the same time, when such public signals are sent and received at a short period, it will affect the base station's sleep state, which is not conducive to energy conservation on the base station side.

[0204] In the related art, the SSB period configuration method is as follows: after the terminal obtains the SSB through cell search, it obtains the Master Information Block (MIB) parameters and the System Information Blocks 1 (SIB1) receiving configuration information based on the Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) in the SSB, and then receives the configuration based on the SIB1 to monitor the DCI 1_0 added by the System Information-Radio Network Temporary Identity (SI-RNTI), and then obtains the SIB1 parameter information.

[0205] In some embodiments, the terminal obtains the actual SSB period from the SSB period serving cell (ssb-PeriodicityServingCell) in SIB1. In some standards, candidate values ​​for ssb-PeriodicityServingCell include 5ms, 10ms, 20ms, 40ms, 80ms, and 160ms. Because the terminal assumes a default SSB period of 20ms during cell search, and typically supports a 20ms SSB period for cell search, current simulation results indicate that extending the SSB to 40ms, 80ms, or 160ms will yield varying degrees of network energy savings.

[0206] Regarding PRACH period configuration, for RRC idle / inactive UEs, the time domain location of the PRACH resource can be configured via the PRACH configuration index (prach-Configuration Index) in SIB1. The radio frame period of the PRACH resource is 10ms, 20ms, 40ms, or 80ms. For RRC connected UEs, the time domain location of the PRACH resource can be configured via the higher-layer parameters prach-ConfigurationIndex or msgA-PRACH-ConfigurationIndex.

[0207] Regarding the paging occasion (PO) resource location, for RRC_IDLE / INACTIVE UE, the monitoring occasion (MO) resource location of PO is determined based on the broadcast information in SIB1, where the value of the discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle is the minimum value between the UE specific DRX cycle configured by higher-layer signaling (RRC signaling and / or core network signaling) and the default DRX cycle broadcast by the system message, and its unit is radio frame.

[0208] Currently, when system information changes in the network, the network notifies terminals in the network through a short message transmitted via DCI format 1_0 scrambled by the Paging Radio Network Temporary Identity (P-RNTI) based on the paging mechanism. The terminal begins the system information (SI) acquisition process at the start of the next modification period. The modification period is configured through system information as an integer multiple of the DRX cycle, with candidate integer values ​​being {2, 4, 8, 16}. From a physical layer perspective, the SI acquisition process refers to the process of instructing the terminal to receive SIB1 information through DCI format 1_0 scrambled by the System Information Radio Network Temporary Identity (SI-RNTI).

[0209] In related technologies, the Cell DTX / DRX mechanism applies only to RRC_CONNECTED UEs. This means the base station indicates the activation or deactivation of the Cell DTX / DRX configuration via DCIs 2-9 and / or higher-layer signaling. A Cell DTX / DRX cycle includes Cell DTX / DRX on and Cell DTX / DRX off. In the Cell DTX / DRX off state, the cell does not transmit downlink signals / channels other than common signals. This means that in the Cell DTX / DRX off state, the network still transmits common information such as SSBs, PRACH, and paging in the traditional legacy manner to minimize the impact on idle / inactive UEs.

[0210] Based on the above, the network side can only notify the RRC_IDLE / INACTIVE state terminal of changes in the public signal related configuration through the BCCH modification mechanism; for the RRC_CONNECTED state terminal, the network needs to indicate the updated public signal time domain information to the terminal through RRC signaling. The above methods all have the problem of large application delay in the configuration update of the public signal and inability to timely adaptively adjust the time domain configuration of the public signal.

[0211] To solve this technical problem, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for determining the configuration of a common signal, wherein a first DCI is sent to a terminal through a network side device, and the first DCI includes a first information field. At least one set of first configurations applied to the common signal and / or the activation status of the first configuration are dynamically indicated to the terminal, so that the terminal can determine the configuration of the common signal according to the first DCI and apply the first configuration indicated by the first DCI, quickly obtain the adaptively adjusted time domain position of the common signal, and solve the problem in the related technology that the configuration update application delay of the common signal is large and the time domain configuration of the common signal cannot be adaptively adjusted in time.

[0212] FIG2 is a flow chart of a method for determining a common signal configuration according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The method according to this embodiment is executed by a terminal and includes:

[0213] S210: Obtain first downlink control information (DCI) sent by a network-side device, where the first DCI includes a first information field, which includes a first sub-information field and / or a second sub-information field; wherein the first sub-information field is used to indicate at least one set of first configurations applied to a common signal; and the second sub-information field is used to indicate an activation state of the first configuration;

[0214] S220: Determine the configuration of the common signal according to the first information field.

[0215] By adopting the determination method described in the embodiment of the present invention, at least one set of first configurations applied to the common signal and / or the activation status of the first configuration are dynamically indicated to the terminal, so that the terminal can determine the configuration of the common signal according to the first DCI and apply the first configuration indicated by the first DCI, and quickly obtain the adaptively adjusted time domain position of the common signal, thereby solving the problem of large configuration update application delay of the common signal in related technologies and inability to timely adaptively adjust the time domain configuration of the common signal.

[0216] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal mentioned may be any one of an RRC_IDLE / INACTIVE terminal and an RRC_CONNECTED terminal.

[0217] In some embodiments, the determination method described in the embodiments of the present disclosure further includes:

[0218] Acquire multiple configurations of a common signal sent by a network-side device, wherein the first configuration is at least one of the multiple configurations.

[0219] In some embodiments, multiple configurations of the common signal can correspond to different energy-saving states respectively. Using this implementation, the network side device sends a first DCI to the terminal, and indicates at least one set of first configurations and / or corresponding activation states applied to the common signal through the first information field. In this way, the first DCI can indicate the first configurations of different energy-saving states, so that the common signal of the terminal switches between different energy-saving configurations, and the terminal enters the energy-saving state in a simpler and faster way, thereby achieving the effect of reducing the power consumption of the network device.

[0220] In some embodiments, the first DCI includes one or more of the following:

[0221] DCI format 1_0 scrambled by the Paging Radio Network Temporary Identifier P-RNTI;

[0222] DCI format 2_7;

[0223] DCI format 2_9;

[0224] Scheduled DCI.

[0225] In some embodiments, the predetermined DCI may be a DCI obtained by scrambling the first format DCI by means of a predetermined RNTI, wherein the predetermined RNTI may be an RNTI in the usual standard or a new RNTI different from the usual standard; the first format DCI may be a DCI in the usual standard format or a DCI in a new format different from the usual standard.

[0226] In some embodiments, the first information field is an information field added to the first DCI; or

[0227] The preset bit of the short message field in the first DCI is the first information field; or

[0228] When the short message indication field in the first DCI is "00", the predetermined information field in the first DCI is the first information field, and the predetermined information field is any information field in the first DCI; or

[0229] When the short message indication field in the first DCI is "00", the first information field is any information field in the first DCI, and other information fields in the first DCI except the first information field are reserved information fields; or

[0230] When the short message indication field in the first DCI is "01", the short message field in the first DCI is the first information field; or

[0231] When the short message indication field in the first DCI is "10", one of the information fields in the first DCI other than the short message field is the first information field; or

[0232] The first DCI includes at least one information block, each information block corresponds to a cell, and each information block includes the first information field, which is used to indicate the first configuration of the common signal corresponding to the cell and / or the activation status of the first configuration.

[0233] In one embodiment, the first DCI includes DCI format 1_0 scrambled by a paging radio network temporary identifier P-RNTI. In this embodiment, the first information field is sent by reusing the paging DCI in the related technology, that is, the P-RNTI scrambled DCI format 1_0, indicating at least one set of first configurations applied to the common signal, and / or indicating the activation status of the first configuration.

[0234] In some embodiments, in this implementation, the indication manner of the first information field in the first DCI may be at least one of the following:

[0235] Mode 1-1: The first information field is an information field added to the first DCI, such as adding an information field as the first information field in the P-RNTI scrambled DCI format 1_0. Using this embodiment, the number of bits in the first information field is M1, the number of valid indication bits of the tracking reference signal (TRS) indicated by the first DCI is M, and when the first DCI is used in an authorized frequency band, the number of reserved bits in the first DCI is the bit value obtained by calculating 8-M1-M; when the first DCI is used in an unlicensed frequency band, the number of reserved bits in the first DCI is the bit value obtained by calculating 6-M1-M.

[0236] Mode 1-2: When the short message indication field in the first DCI is "00", the predetermined information field in the first DCI is the first information field, and the predetermined information field is any information field in the first DCI.

[0237] For example, when the first DCI is a P-RNTI-scrambled DCI format 1_0, and the Short Message Indicator bit field in the P-RNTI-scrambled DCI format 1_0 is '00', a predetermined information field in the first DCI is determined as the first information field, used to indicate at least one set of first configurations and / or the activation status of the first configurations. In some embodiments, the predetermined information field is any information field in the P-RNTI-scrambled DCI format 1_0. For example, the predetermined information field can be any information field in the P-RNTI-scrambled DCI format 1_0, such as a short message field, a frequency domain allocation indication field, a time domain allocation indication field, a virtual resource block (VRB) to physical resource block (PRB) mapping, and a modulation and coding scheme (MCS).

[0238] Mode 1-3: When the short message indication field in the first DCI is "00", the first information field is any information field in the first DCI, and other information fields in the first DCI except the first information field are reserved information fields.

[0239] For example, when the first DCI is a P-RNTI-scrambled DCI format 1_0, and the bit field of the Short Message Indicator in the P-RNTI-scrambled DCI format 1_0 is '00', it is determined that any information field in the first DCI can be used as the first information field for indicating at least one set of first configurations and / or the activation status of the first configuration, and the information fields in the P-RNTI-scrambled DCI format 1_0 other than the first information field are reserved information fields. In this embodiment, when the number of bits in the first information field is M1 and the terminal calculates the number of bits of DCI format 1_0 as DCI 1_0size, the number of bits in the reserved information field is the bit value obtained by calculating DCI 1_0size-M1.

[0240] In this embodiment, the P-RNTI scrambled DCI format 1_0 is defined as signaling for indicating the first information field, that is, as signaling for indicating adaptive adjustment of the common signal.

[0241] Mode 1-4: When the short message indication field in the first DCI is "01", the short message field in the first DCI is the first information field;

[0242] For example, when the first DCI is P-RNTI-scrambled DCI format 1_0, when the bit field of the short message indicator (Short Messages Indicator) in the P-RNTI-scrambled DCI format 1_0 is '01', the short message field is used as the first information field to indicate at least one set of first configurations and / or the activation status of the first configuration for common signal adaptation adjustment.

[0243] Mode 1-5: When the short message indication field in the first DCI is "10", one of the information fields in the first DCI other than the short message field is the first information field.

[0244] For example, when the first DCI is a P-RNTI-scrambled DCI format 1_0, and the Short Message Indicator bit field in the P-RNTI-scrambled DCI format 1_0 is '10', one of the information fields in the P-RNTI-scrambled DCI format 1_0, excluding the Short Message field, is determined to be the first information field. For example, the one of the information fields (the first information field) can be any one of the frequency domain allocation indication field, time domain allocation indication field, VRB-to-PRB mapping, and MCS in the P-RNTI-scrambled DCI format 1_0.

[0245] Mode 1-6: The preset bit of the short message field in the first DCI is the first information field.

[0246] For example, when the first DCI is P-RNTI-scrambled DCI format 1_0, bits 5-8 in the short message field of P-RNTI-scrambled DCI format 1_0 are used to indicate the first information field for common channel adaptive adjustment of the terminal.

[0247] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the indication modes 1-1 to 1-6 of the first information field in the above-mentioned first DCI may be applicable to RRC_IDLE / INACTIVE state terminals and RRC_CONNECTED state terminals configured with blind monitoring of paging DCI.

[0248] In another implementation manner of the present disclosure, in some embodiments, the first DCI is DCI format 2_7, and the DCI format 2_7 introduces a first information field for indicating at least one set of first configurations and / or the activation status of the first configuration for adaptive adjustment of the common signal of the terminal.

[0249] In this implementation, by introducing the indication mode of the first information field into DCI format 2_7, it can be applicable to a terminal UE in RRC_IDLE / INACTIVE state or a terminal capable of monitoring DCI format 2_7.

[0250] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, in some embodiments, the first DCI is a predetermined DCI, and the predetermined DCI can be a DCI that scrambles the first format DCI through a predetermined RNTI, wherein the predetermined RNTI is an RNTI in the usual standard, or a new RNTI that is different from the usual standard; the first format DCI is a DCI in the usual standard format, or a DCI in a new format that is different from the usual standard.

[0251] Using this embodiment, the first DCI can be a new RNTI-encrypted or new DCI format encrypted by the RNTI in the related technology. The M1 bit in the first DCI is used as the first information field to indicate at least one set of first configurations and / or the activation status of the first configuration for adaptive adjustment of the common signal of the terminal.

[0252] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the method of indicating the first information field through a predetermined DCI is applicable to RRC_IDLE / INACTIVE state terminals and RRC_CONNECTED state terminals configured with paging DCI blind monitoring.

[0253] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, in some embodiments, the first DCI is DCI format 2_9, or a DCI format similar to DCI format 2_9. In this embodiment, the first DCI may include at least one information block, each information block corresponding to a cell, and each of the information blocks includes the first information field, which is used to indicate the first configuration of the common signal corresponding to the cell and / or the activation status of the first configuration.

[0254] By adopting this embodiment, the first DCI may indicate a first information field corresponding to one or more cells with NES capability, and adaptive adjustment of the common signal is implemented in the corresponding cells through the indication of the first information field.

[0255] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the method of indicating the first information field through DCI format 2_9 can be applied to the RRC_CONNECTED state terminal UE in the CA scenario.

[0256] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the indication method of the first information field in the first DCI listed above is only for illustration and is not limited thereto.

[0257] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, in step S220, the configuration of the common signal is determined according to the first information field, including one or more of the following:

[0258] When the first information field includes the first sub-information field, determining that the configuration of the common signal is the first configuration;

[0259] When the first information field includes a second sub-information field and the second sub-information field indicates that the activation state is activated, determining that the configuration of the common signal is the first configuration;

[0260] When the first information field includes a second sub-information field and the second sub-information field indicates that the activation state is inactive, the configuration of the common signal is determined to be a second configuration pre-acquired in addition to the first configuration.

[0261] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, in some embodiments, the first information field includes the first sub-information field, which is used to indicate at least one first configuration applied to the common signal. When the first information field includes the first sub-information field, that is, when the first information field indicates at least one first configuration applied to the common signal, the configuration of the common signal is determined to be the first configuration, and the time domain position of the common signal is determined based on the first configuration.

[0262] In some embodiments, the first sub-information field includes first identification information of the first configuration, and the corresponding first configuration is indicated by the first identification information. For example, when the first sub-information field is M, it indicates the first configuration corresponding to the first identification information M in the configuration of activating the common signal. Using this embodiment, when the first identification information of the configurations of N common signals are numbered from 1, 2 to N, the first sub-information field can directly indicate the first identification information of the corresponding configuration.

[0263] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, in some embodiments, the first sub-information field includes second identification information that has a first corresponding relationship with the first identification information of the first configuration. In this embodiment, the first corresponding relationship is pre-agreed information that can represent the relationship between the first identification information and the second identification information. For example, when the first sub-information field is M, it indicates the first configuration corresponding to the first identification information M-1 in the configuration of activating the common signal. With this embodiment, when the first identification information of the configurations of N common signals are numbered according to 0, 1, 2 to N-1 respectively, the first sub-information field is used to indicate the identification corresponding to the first identification information +1 of the first configuration.

[0264] In this implementation manner, in some embodiments, the terminal may obtain the configuration of at least one common signal configured by the network-side device through SIB1 or RRC signaling, and different common signal configurations correspond to different first identification information. Based on obtaining the configuration of at least one common signal configured by the network device through SIB1 or RRC signaling, the terminal obtains the first configuration indicated by the network-side device through a dynamic first DCI, where the first configuration is one of the configurations of the at least one common signal, wherein when the first sub-information field in the first DCI indicates different first identification information, it corresponds to a different first configuration.

[0265] In one implementation manner, in some embodiments, the first information field of the first DCI may include only the first sub-information field. When only the first sub-information field is included, it is used to indicate activation or application of the first configuration.

[0266] In one embodiment, in some embodiments, the first information field may include, in addition to the first sub-information field, a second sub-information field, where the second sub-information field indicates the activation status of the first configuration. Based on the second sub-information field, it can be determined whether to activate or apply the first configuration corresponding to the first identification information indicated by the first sub-information field. When the second sub-information field indicates the application or activation of the first configuration, the configuration of the common signal is determined to be the first configuration. In some embodiments, when the second sub-information field indicates the inactivation or non-application of the first configuration, the configuration of the common signal is determined to be a second configuration pre-obtained in addition to the first configuration.

[0267] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, when the second sub-information field is a first value, it indicates that the first configuration is activated or applied; when the second sub-information field is a second value, it indicates that the first configuration is not activated or applied.

[0268] In another implementation manner of the embodiments of the present disclosure, in some embodiments, when the first information field includes a second sub-information field and the second sub-information field indicates that the activation state is activated, the configuration of the common signal is determined to be the first configuration.

[0269] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the network side device obtains the configurations of the two common signals configured by the network side device through SIB1 or RRC signaling; in some embodiments, among the obtained configurations of the two common signals, the configuration of the common signal obtained through the SIB1 configuration parameters can be set as the default system common signal configuration (second configuration); the configuration of the common signal obtained through SIB1 or RRC signaling is the first configuration; or, the configurations of the two common signals correspond to different energy-saving states, and in some embodiments, the terminal can obtain the configuration with the best energy-saving state as the first configuration and determine the other configuration as the second configuration. In this embodiment, the terminal can obtain the first configuration in advance, and on this basis, when the network side device sends the first DCI to the terminal, it can only include the second sub-information field to indicate whether to activate or apply the first configuration.

[0270] In some embodiments, when the second sub-information field indicates that the activation state is activated, the configuration of the common signal application is determined to be the first configuration; when the second sub-information field indicates that the activation state is inactivated, the configuration of the common signal application is determined to be a second configuration pre-obtained in addition to the first configuration.

[0271] Based on the above, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the first information field in the first DCI only includes the second sub-information field, the first configuration corresponding to the activation state indicated by the second sub-information field can be a pre-agreed public signal configuration or a public signal configuration other than the system default public signal configuration.

[0272] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the method further includes:

[0273] The number of bits of the first sub-information field is determined according to the number of configurations of the common signal obtained, or the number of bits of the first information field is determined according to the number of configurations of the common signal obtained.

[0274] Using this implementation mode, in some embodiments, the terminal determines the first identification information of the first configuration indicated by the first DCI according to the first sub-information field, and the number of bits of the first identification information is determined by the number N of configurations of the obtained common signal, for example, in some embodiments: log2N, or N is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0275] The activation state of the first configuration is determined according to the second sub-information field, that is, whether the first configuration corresponding to the first identification information indicated by the first sub-information field is applied. In some embodiments, the length of the second sub-information field is 1 bit.

[0276] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first information field can be used to indicate a parameter value that corresponds to a configuration parameter value of the first configuration. The correspondence between the parameter value of the first information field and the configuration parameter value of the first configuration can be agreed upon through a protocol. The parameter value indicated by the first information field is used to indicate the configuration parameter value of the first configuration, and is used to indicate the common signal application of the terminal or activate the configuration parameter value of the first configuration indicated by the first information field. For example, the parameter value of the first information field is "00", which corresponds to the SSB period of 20ms, and the parameter value of the first information field is "01", which corresponds to the SSB period of 40ms. When the parameter value of the first information field is "00", it indicates that the SSB transmission period applied by the terminal is 20ms, and when the parameter value of the first information field is "01", it indicates that the SSB transmission period applied by the terminal is 40ms.

[0277] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the method further includes:

[0278] Obtain the configuration parameters of the first configuration by one or more of the following methods:

[0279] System information block SIB1 sent by the network side device;

[0287] It can be used for the configuration of both downlink common signals and uplink common signals.

[0288] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the SSB time domain configuration includes one or more of the following information:

[0290] SSB pattern period;

[0291] SSB transmission position offset value;

[0292] Number of SSBs;

[0293] SSB transmits the bit pattern of the position.

[0294] Using this embodiment, when the first configuration includes SSB time domain configuration, the receiving time domain position of SSB can be determined according to the SSB time domain configuration; and / or, when the first configuration includes PRACH time domain configuration, the PRACH sending time domain position can be determined according to the PRACH time domain configuration; and / or, when the first configuration includes PO configuration parameters, the PO sending time domain position can be determined according to the PO configuration parameters.

[0295] In some embodiments, the SSB time domain configuration includes adjusting the number of SSBs in the SSB burst, for example, by indicating the number of SSBs in the SSB burst through a bit pattern at an SSB transmission position.

[0296] For example, the first configuration includes an SSB pattern period T, a bit pattern of an SSB transmission position, and / or an SSB period. For example, T = 160 ms, SSB period = 20 ms, and a bit pattern of an SSB transmission position of 160 / 20 = 8 bits in length, i.e., the bit pattern is [11100000].

[0297] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the configuration for downlink common signals in the first configuration may also be referred to as a Cell DTX configuration, according to which the receiving time domain positions of all downlink signals / channels including the downlink common signal may be determined; the configuration for uplink common signals in the first configuration may also be referred to as a Cell DRX configuration, according to which the sending time domain positions of uplink signals / channels including the uplink common signal may be determined; the configuration that can be used for both downlink common signals and uplink common signals in the first configuration may also be referred to as a Cell DTX / DRX configuration, according to which the receiving time domain positions and sending time domain positions of all downlink and uplink signals / channels including the common signal may be determined.

[0298] According to the above, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the first configuration includes a configuration for a downlink common signal, the method further includes:

[0299] Determining, according to the configuration for the downlink common signal, a time domain position at which the downlink common signal and / or other downlink signals other than the downlink common signal of the terminal are received; and / or

[0300] In a case where the first configuration includes a configuration for an uplink common signal, the method further includes:

[0301] Determining, according to the configuration for the uplink common signal, a time domain position for transmitting the uplink common signal of the terminal and / or other uplink signals other than the uplink common signal; and / or

[0302] In a case where the first configuration includes a configuration that can be used for both a downlink common signal and an uplink common signal, the method further includes:

[0303] According to the configuration for the downlink common signal and the uplink common signal, determine the time domain position of the uplink common signal sent by the terminal and the time domain position of the downlink common signal received by the terminal; and / or, determine the time domain position of the reception of other downlink signals except the downlink common signal and the time domain position of the sending of other uplink signals except the uplink common signal.

[0304] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the configuration for the downlink common signal (Cell DTX configuration), the configuration for the uplink common signal (Cell DRX configuration), and / or the configuration that can be used for both the downlink common signal and the uplink common signal (Cell DTX / DRX configuration) includes one or more of the following information:

[0305] A first period is used to indicate a period of a downlink common signal or an uplink common signal;

[0306] A first offset, used to indicate a radio frame offset or a subframe offset at the start of the first period;

[0307] The second period is used to indicate the duration of receiving and / or sending the common signal within the first period.

[0308] In some embodiments, the first period may be a period configured for Cell DTX, or a period configured for Cell DTX within a predetermined time period.

[0309] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the value T of the first period is a value less than or equal to 16 radio frames or 160 subframes;

[0310] For Cell DTX, the preferred candidate value of T is an integer multiple of 2 radio frames or 20 subframes; for Cell DRX, the preferred candidate value of T is an integer multiple of 1 radio frame or 10 subframes; for Cell DTX / DRX, the preferred candidate value of T is an integer multiple of 2 radio frames or 20 subframes.

[0311] In some embodiments, the first offset is a radio frame offset or a subframe offset at the beginning of the first cycle, or a radio frame offset or a subframe offset at the beginning of a Cell DTX configuration, a Cell DRX configuration, or a Cell DTX / DRX configuration.

[0312] In some embodiments, the second period T_on is used to indicate the duration of receiving and / or sending common signals within the first period. In some embodiments, a candidate value of the second period T_on is an integer multiple of 1 radio frame or 2 radio frames. When applied to a Cell DTX configuration, the second period T_on is preferably an integer multiple of 2 radio frames. When applied to a Cell DRX configuration, the second period T_on is preferably an integer multiple of 1 radio frame. When applied to a Cell DTX / Cell DRX configuration, the second period T_on is preferably an integer multiple of 2 radio frames.

[0313] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, when the configuration parameters of the first configuration include configurations that can be used for both downlink common signals and uplink common signals, the method further includes:

[0314] Obtain first indication information sent by the network side device, where the first indication information is used to indicate that the configuration that can be used for both the downlink common signal and the uplink common signal is one of the configuration for the downlink common signal, the configuration for the uplink common signal, and the configuration for the downlink common signal and the uplink common signal.

[0315] In some embodiments, in this implementation, when the configuration parameters of the first configuration include configurations that can be used for both downlink common signals and uplink common signals, the parameter application type of the configuration that can be used for both downlink common signals and uplink common signals can be determined based on the first indication information, and it can be determined based on the first indication information whether the configuration is applied to Cell DTX or Cell DRX or Cell DTX / Cell DRX.

[0316] In some embodiments, the first configuration may include any one of the above configuration parameters, or may include at least two of the above configuration parameters. For example, when the first configuration includes an SSB time domain configuration and a PO configuration parameter, or includes a Cell DTX configuration, the information field in the first DCI is used to indicate the application of SSB adjustment according to the first configuration to implement SSB adaptive adjustment, and / or the application of paging adjustment to implement paging adaptive adjustment, and / or other DL signals.

[0317] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, based on UE capabilities, network configuration, or default mode, the UE is capable of receiving the aforementioned multiple types of configuration parameters and / or is capable of receiving one or more configurations within each type of configuration. In some embodiments, different configuration parameters within the first configuration may be indicated by corresponding different identification numbers to different configuration parameters.

[0318] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, in some embodiments, before obtaining the first DCI, the method further includes:

[0319] The second indication information is obtained through at least one of the system information and the second DCI, or the second indication information is obtained through RRC signaling, where the second indication information is used to indicate the initial state of the first configuration at a first time.

[0320] In some embodiments, for a UE in an RRC_IDLE / INACTIVE state, the second indication information can be obtained through at least one of system information and the second DCI; for a UE in an RRC_CONNECTED state, the second indication information can be obtained through RRC signaling.

[0321] By adopting this implementation mode, the network side device indicates the initial state of the first configuration to the terminal through the second indication information before sending the first DCI to the terminal, so that after the terminal obtains the initial state of the first configuration, it can adjust from the initial state to the activation state as soon as possible after obtaining the first DCI according to the activation state of the first configuration indicated by the first DCI.

[0322] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first time is one of the following:

[0323] the time of receipt of the second indication information;

[0324] The time of the last SSB reception.

[0325] In one implementation mode, in some embodiments, for a UE in an RRC_IDLE / INACTIVE state that completes a cell search but does not receive a first DCI indication, the terminal may obtain the second indication information based on system information or a second DCI indication, and determine the first configuration applied in the network based on the second indication information.

[0326] In some embodiments, the second DCI includes DCI 1_0 scrambled by SI-RNTI.

[0327] For example, the UE can determine the first configuration applied in the network and / or the initial state of the first configuration based on the first configuration initial state parameter in SIB1; in some embodiments, the UE can also determine the first configuration applied in the network and / or the initial state of the first configuration based on the first configuration initial state parameter in the DCI encrypted by SI-RNTI.

[0328] Using this implementation, when the terminal receives the first DCI and determines the first configuration dynamically indicated by the network side and / or the activation status of the first configuration based on the first DCI, if the activation status of the first configuration indicated by the first DCI is different from the initial state of the first configuration indicated by the second indication information in the SIB1 or SI-RNTI scrambled DCI, the UE will apply the first configuration indicated by the first DCI and the corresponding activation status.

[0329] For an RRC_CONNECTED UE that completes initial access or handover to an NES cell but does not receive the above-mentioned dynamic signaling RRC indication, the terminal can obtain the initial application state of the first configuration according to the high-layer signaling, thereby determining the initial state of the first configuration applied in the network.

[0330] Using this implementation, when the UE receives the first DCI, and determines the first configuration dynamically indicated by the network side and / or the activation status of the first configuration based on the first DCI, if the activation status of the first configuration indicated by the first DCI is different from the initial state of the first configuration indicated by the high-level signaling RRC, the UE will apply the first configuration and the corresponding activation status indicated by the dynamic first DCI.

[0331] According to the above, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the method further includes:

[0332] After acquiring the first DCI, when the activation state of the first configuration indicated by the first information field is different from the initial state of the first configuration indicated by the second indication information, it is determined that the priority of the activation state is higher than the priority of the initial state.

[0333] The following describes the method for determining the common signal configuration according to the embodiment of the present disclosure with examples.

[0334] Example 1

[0335] In this first embodiment, the NES UE determines the common signal time domain configuration by determining the SSB transmission period, PRACH transmission timing, and paging timing according to the SIB1 configuration parameters in the general protocol. The common signal time domain configuration determined in this manner is uniformly defined as the default system common signal configuration. In some embodiments, the default system common signal configuration is set to: an SSB period of 20 ms, a prach-ConfigurationIndex of 19, and one paging frame every two radio frames.

[0336] In addition, the terminal may also receive a common signal configuration through SIB1 or RRC signaling. The common signal configuration obtained in this way may be a first configuration, which is used to determine the common signal time domain reception / transmission configuration.

[0337] Using this implementation mode, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal obtains the first DCI sent by the network side device. In some embodiments, the first DCI includes a first information field for indicating the activation status of the first configuration, that is, indicating the application or activation of the first configuration, used to determine the public signal time domain reception / transmission, or indicating that the first configuration is not applied or activated, that is, the system default public signal configuration (second configuration) is applied to determine the public signal time domain reception / transmission.

[0338] The method described in the embodiment of the present disclosure, based on the implementation of the above embodiment, includes the following steps:

[0339] Step A: The terminal receives a set of common signal configurations, which is a first configuration, for the terminal to perform network-side energy saving based on the common signal adaptive adjustment. In some embodiments, the first configuration is configured using SIB1 information, which is scheduled by DCI scrambled by SI-RNTI, and the configuration parameters of the first configuration are different from the configuration parameters of the system default common signal configuration. Examples of the first configuration include, but are not limited to, the following methods:

[0340] Implementation A-1: ​​The first configuration in the SIB1 information includes a configuration that can be used for both Cell DTX and Cell DRX, that is, it includes configuration parameters related to Cell DTX / Cell DRX, for example: first period T = 160ms, wireless frame offset = 20ms, second period T_on = 60ms. Based on the configuration parameters, the Cell DTX / Cell DRX configuration diagram is shown in Figure 3.

[0341] Case 1: The Cell DTX / Cell DRX-related configuration parameter application type is 'Cell DTX and Cell DRX', which means it can be applied to both Cell DTX and Cell DRX configurations. Under this configuration parameter, the reception / transmission of common signals and UL / DL signals can include the following two cases 1-1 and 1-2:

[0342] Case 1-1: As shown in Figure 3, the UE performs reception / transmission of common signals including SSB reception, PRACH transmission, paging DCI reception, and other UL / DL signals during the T_on time. It does not perform reception / transmission of common signals and other UL / DL signals during the T_off time (i.e., the time within a cycle excluding T_on).

[0343] Case 1-2: As shown in Figure 3, the UE performs common signal transmission including SSB reception, PRACH transmission, and paging DCI reception during T_on time, and performs common signal transmission / reception during T_off time (i.e., the time within a cycle excluding T_on).

[0344] Case 2: The corresponding configuration parameter application type of Cell DTX / Cell DRX is 'Cell DTX', which means that it can only be applied to the Cell DTX configuration. It should be noted that this embodiment is also applicable to the case where the first configuration in step A-1 includes only the Cell DTX configuration. In these two configurations, the reception / transmission of common signals and UL / DL signals can include the following two cases 2-1 and 2-2:

[0345] Case 2-1: The UE receives common signals including SSB, paging DCI, and other DL signals during T_on. It does not receive common signals including SSB, paging DCI, and other DL signals during T_off (i.e., the time within a cycle excluding T_on).

[0346] Case 2-2: The UE receives common signals including SSB and paging DCI during T_on, but does not receive common signals including SSB and paging DCI during T_off (i.e., the time within a cycle excluding T_on).

[0347] Case 3: The application type of the corresponding configuration parameter of Cell DTX / Cell DRX is 'Cell DRX', that is, it can only be applied to Cell DRX. It should be noted that this embodiment is also applicable to the case where the first configuration in step A-1 includes only the Cell DRX configuration. In these two configurations, the reception / transmission of common signals and UL / DL signals may include the following two cases 3-1 and 3-2:

[0348] Case 3-1: The UE performs PRACH transmission and other UL signal transmission during T_on time, and does not perform PRACH transmission and other UL signal transmission during T_off time (i.e., the time within a cycle excluding T_on).

[0349] Case 3-2: The UE performs PRACH transmission during T_on time, and does not perform PRACH transmission during T_off time (i.e., the time within a cycle excluding T_on).

[0350] Implementation A-2: The first configuration in the SIB1 information includes an SSB time domain configuration, including but not limited to the following configurations:

[0351] Mode A-2-1: If the SSB is transmitted in a periodic manner, the first configuration includes an SSB transmission period of T, for example, T = 80 ms;

[0352] Mode A-2-2: If SSB is transmitted in a new pattern, the first configuration includes the SSB pattern period T, the SSB transmission position offset and number, and / or the SSB period, for example, T = 160 ms, SSB transmission position offset = 0, N_SSB = 3, and SSB period = 20 ms, as shown in FIG4 ;

[0353] Method A-2-3: If SSB is transmitted using a new pattern, the first common signal configuration includes the SSB pattern period T, the SSB transmission position bitmap, and / or the SSB period. For example, T = 160 ms, the SSB period = 20 ms, the SSB transmission bitmap is 160 / 20 = 8 bits long, and the bit pattern = [11100000], as shown in Figure 5.

[0354] Method A-3: The first configuration in the SIB1 information includes the PRACH time domain configuration, including but not limited to a new prach-ConfigurationIndex, or an additional PRACH time domain position;

[0355] Method A-4: The first configuration in the SIB1 information includes paging occasion configuration parameters.

[0356] Based on any of the above methods, the terminal can obtain the first configuration of the common signal configured by the network side device. In some embodiments, the network side device can indicate to the terminal whether to apply the first configuration through the first DCI to achieve adaptive adjustment of the common signal.

[0357] Step B: The terminal determines whether to apply the first configuration based on the dynamic indication signaling DCI (first DCI). That is, in this embodiment, the first information field in the first DCI includes a second sub-information field for indicating the activation state or application state of the first configuration. One state is to apply or activate the first configuration to perform signal reception and / or transmission, and the other state is not to apply or activate the first configuration, that is, to apply the default system configuration to perform signal reception and / or transmission. The dynamic signaling DCI indication method includes but is not limited to the following methods:

[0358] Mode B-1: The paging DCI in the DCI reuse related technology, that is, the P-RNTI scrambled DCI format 1_0, can include the following implementation methods:

[0359] Method B-1-1: A first information field (M bits) is introduced in the DCI to indicate whether the first configuration is applied. That is, the DCI includes a second sub-information field to indicate the activation or application status of the first configuration. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first information field preferably has M1 = 1 bit. The reserved bits in the DCI are updated to 8-M1-M bits in licensed bands and 8-M1-M bits in unlicensed bands.

[0360] Method B-1-2: When short message indicator = '00' in DCI, the preset information field in DCI is reused to indicate whether the first configuration is applied, wherein the M1 bit in the preset information field is preferably reused, preferably M1 = 1 bit information, and the preset information field refers to any indication field in the DCI in the related technology except the short message indicator field.

[0361] Mode B-1-3: When the short message indicator in the DCI is '01', the M1 bit of the preset information field in the DCI is reused to indicate whether to apply the first configuration, wherein M1=1 bit information is preferred, and the preset information field refers to the short message field.

[0362] Method B-1-4: When the short message indicator in the DCI is '10', the M1 bit of the preset information field in the DCI is reused to indicate whether the first configuration is applied, wherein the M1=1bit information of the preset information field is preferably reused, and the preset information field refers to any indication field in the DCI in the related technology except the short message field.

[0363] Mode B-1-4: When the short message indicator in the DCI is '10' and / or the short message indicator is '11', the preset reserved bit in the short message field is reused to indicate whether the first common signal configuration is applied.

[0364] In addition to the above-mentioned method of reusing the paging DCI in related technologies, the following methods can also be used for DCI indication:

[0365] Mode B-2: The DCI reuses the Paging Early Indication (PEI) in the related art, namely DCI format 2_7;

[0366] Method B-2-1: For example, a first information field M1 bit is introduced in the DCI to indicate whether the first configuration is applied, where M1=1 bit is preferred.

[0367] Mode B-3: The DCI is scrambled by a new RNTI or a new DCI format scrambled by an RNTI in the related art;

[0368] Mode B-3-1: For example, a first information field M1 bit is introduced in the DCI to indicate whether the first configuration is applied, wherein M1=1 bit is preferred.

[0369] Method B-4: multiplexing DCI 2_9 in related technologies;

[0370] Method B-4-1: For example, a first information field M1 bit is introduced into the information block corresponding to the serving cell corresponding to the NES cell to indicate whether the first configuration is applied, wherein M1=1 bit is preferably used.

[0371] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, second indication information is obtained by further performing the following step C, where the second indication information is used to indicate the initial state of the first configuration at the first time:

[0372] Step C: The terminal obtains the initial state of public signal transmission at the first time, or the initial state of the first configuration application, according to SIB1 and / or RRC signaling, and or the information in the SI-RNTI-scrambled DCI 1_0. One of the initial states is to apply the first configuration to perform signal reception and / or transmission, and the other state is not to apply the first configuration, that is, to apply the default system configuration (second configuration) to perform signal reception and / or transmission.

[0373] Mode C-1: The UE determines the initial state of the first configuration application at a first time according to the parameters in SIB1, where the first time is the SIB1 reception time, or the most recent SSB reception time;

[0374] Method C-1-1: When the application state of the first configuration in the cell changes, the base station does not need to perform the BCCH modification procedure. The terminal in the cell considers the activation state of the first configuration indicated by the dynamic signaling (first DCI) to be of high priority and to override the initial application state of the first configuration indicated in SIB1. In other words, the terminal determines that the activation state of the first configuration indicated by the first DCI has a higher priority than the initial state of the first configuration at the first time.

[0375] Mode C-2: The UE determines the initial state of the first configuration application at the first time according to the parameters in the RRC. In some embodiments, the first time is the RRC signaling reception time, or the most recent SSB reception time.

[0376] Method C-2-1: When the application state of the first configuration in the cell changes, the base station does not need to perform the RRC reconfiguration process. The terminal in the cell considers that the application state of the first configuration indicated by the dynamic signaling (first DCI) is high priority and can override the initial application state of the first configuration indicated in the RRC, that is, it determines that the priority of the activation state of the first DCI indicated by the first DCI is higher than the priority of the initial state of the first configuration at the first time.

[0377] Mode C-3: The UE determines the initial state of the first configuration application at the first time according to the information field in the DCI 1_0 scrambled by the SI-RNTI, where the first time is the DCI reception time, or the most recent SSB reception time;

[0378] Method C-3-1: When the application state of the first configuration in the cell changes, the base station re-executes the SI-RNTI scrambled DCI transmission process. The terminal in the cell considers that the application state of the first configuration indicated by the dynamic signaling (first DCI) is high priority and can override the initial application state of the first configuration indicated in SIB1, that is, it determines that the priority of the activation state of the first DCI indicated by the first DCI is higher than the priority of the initial state of the first configuration at the first time.

[0379] Example 2

[0380] In this embodiment, the NES UE determines the common signal time domain configuration by determining the SSB transmission period, PRACH transmission timing, and paging timing based on the SIB1 configuration parameters in the general protocol. The common signal time domain configuration determined in this manner is uniformly defined as the default system common signal configuration. In some embodiments, the default system common signal configuration is set to: SSB period = 20ms, prach-ConfigurationIndex = 19, and every two radio frames is one paging frame.

[0381] In addition, the terminal UE receives the first configuration of one or more common signals through SIB1 or RRC signaling, and indicates the first identification information (configuration identification number) of at least one set of the first configuration and whether to apply or activate the first configuration corresponding to the first identification information through the first information field of the dynamic DCI (first DCI).

[0382] Step A: The main difference from Step A in Example 1 is that the terminal receives N first configurations, where N ≥ 1, and each first configuration has corresponding first identification information. In addition, each first configuration can be one or more of Method A-1, Method A-2, and / or Method A-3 in Example 1.

[0383] For example, the first identification information ID=1 of one set of the first configuration corresponds to a parameter period T=160ms, a radio frame offset=20ms, and a second period T_on=60ms; the first identification information ID=2 of another set of the first configuration corresponds to a parameter period T=80ms, a radio frame amount=20ms, and a second period T_on=40ms;

[0384] The other parts are similar to the method in Example 1;

[0385] Step B: The terminal determines the application or non-application status of the indicated first configuration based on the second sub-information field in the first information field of the dynamic DCI (first DCI), and determines the first identification information of the indicated first configuration based on the first sub-information field in the first information field.

[0386] The main difference from step B in Example 1 is that the terminal determines the first identification information of the first configuration based on the first sub-information field, and the number of bits in the first sub-information field is based on the number of common signal configurations obtained by the terminal, for example, log2N, where N is the number of common signal configurations (or the first configuration) obtained by the terminal. Whether to apply the first identification information of the first configuration indicated by the first sub-information field is determined based on the second sub-information field, and the number of bits of the second sub-information field is 1 bit. In addition, the indication method of the first sub-information field and the second sub-information field in the first DCI is similar to step B in Example 1, M1=log2N+1.

[0387] For example, according to the example in step A, N=2, then the length (number of bits) of the first sub-information field is 1 bit. The UE determines the first identification information ID=1 of the first configuration indicated by the first DCI, or the first identification information ID=2 of the first configuration indicated by the first DCI based on the first sub-information field. If the first sub-information field in the first DCI indicates the first identification information ID=2 of the first configuration, the UE determines whether to apply or activate the first configuration indicated by the first identification information ID=2 based on the second sub-information field. If the first configuration indicated by the first identification information ID=2 is not applied or activated, the default system configuration information is applied.

[0388] The main difference from step B in Example 1 is that the terminal determines the first identification information of the applied first configuration according to the first sub-information field, wherein the first identification information corresponding to the default system common signal configuration ID=0, then the number of bits of the first sub-information field is In addition, the indication method of the first sub-information field is similar to step B in embodiment 1. Based on the above, the number of bits of the first information field is M1=log2(N+1).

[0389] For example, according to the example in step A, N=2, then the length of the first sub-information field is 2 bits. If the UE determines that the first identification information ID of the first configuration is 0 based on the first sub-information field in the first DCI, then the first DCI instructs the terminal to apply the default system common signal configuration; if the UE determines that the first identification information ID of the first configuration is 1 based on the first sub-information field in the first DCI, then the first DCI instructs the terminal to apply the first configuration with the first identification information ID=1.

[0390] Step C: The main difference from step C in Example 1 is that the terminal obtains the first identification information and / or the corresponding initial state of the first configuration applied at the first time based on SIB1, and / or RRC signaling, and / or the information in SI-RNTI encrypted DCI 1_0.

[0391] For example, the terminal determines to apply the first identification information ID=1 according to one of the parameters in the above signaling, and is in a state of applying the first configuration ID=1.

[0392] Example 3

[0393] In this embodiment, the UE receives one or more sets of common signal configurations through SIB1 or RRC information, which are used to determine one or more first configurations for receiving / transmitting common signals in the time domain, and determines which first identification information of the first configuration to apply through the first information field of the dynamic DCI (first DCI). Unlike the first and second embodiments, there may be no system default configuration in this embodiment.

[0394] Step A: The terminal obtains N common signal configurations. In one embodiment, the N common signal configurations are N first configurations, and the first DCI indicates each of the N first configurations; where N ≥ 1, and each first configuration has corresponding first identification information. In addition, each first configuration can be one or more of Embodiment A-1, and / or A-2, and / or A-3.

[0395] For example, in one of the first configurations, the first identification information ID=0 corresponds to an SSB period of T=160ms; in another first configuration, the first identification information ID=1 corresponds to an SSB period of T=40ms; in yet another first configuration, the first identification information ID=3 corresponds to an SSB period of T=80ms;

[0396] The other parts are similar to the method in Example 1;

[0397] Step B: The terminal determines the first identification information of the applied first configuration according to the first information field in the dynamic first DCI, the length of which is

[0398] For example, the length of the first information field in the first DCI is '00' indicates the first configuration of applying the first identification information ID=0, '01' indicates the first configuration of applying the first identification information ID=1, '10' indicates the first configuration of applying the first identification information ID=2, and '11' indicates a reserved bit.

[0399] Step C: The main difference from step C in embodiment 1 is that the terminal obtains the first identification information and / or the corresponding initial state of the first configuration applied at the first time based on SIB1, and / or RRC signaling, and / or the information in SI-RNTI encrypted DCI 1_0.

[0400] For example, the terminal determines to apply the first identification information ID=1 of the first configuration according to one of the parameters, and is in a state of applying the first identification information ID=1.

[0401] It should be noted that the above embodiments of the determination method described in the embodiments of the present disclosure are only for illustration and are not limited thereto.

[0403] S610, sending first downlink control information DCI to the terminal, wherein the first DCI includes a first information field, and the first information field includes a first sub-information field and / or a second sub-information field; wherein the first sub-information field is used to indicate at least one set of first configurations applied to the common signal; and the second sub-information field is used to indicate the activation status of the first configuration.

[0404] The determination method described in this embodiment is adopted, and a first DCI is sent to the terminal through the network side device. The first DCI includes a first information field, and dynamically indicates to the terminal at least one set of first configurations applied to the public signal, and / or the activation status of the first configuration, so that the terminal can determine the configuration of the public signal according to the first DCI and apply the first configuration indicated by the first DCI, quickly obtain the adaptively adjusted time domain position of the public signal, and solve the problem that the configuration update application delay of the public signal in the related technology is large and the time domain configuration of the public signal cannot be adaptively adjusted in time.

[0413] Used for configuration of downlink public signals;

[0414] Used for configuration of uplink public signals;

[0415] It can be used for the configuration of both downlink common signals and uplink common signals.

[0416] In some embodiments, in the determination method, the first DCI includes one or more of the following:

[0417] DCI format 1_0 scrambled by the Paging Radio Network Temporary Identifier P-RNTI;

[0418] DCI format 2_7;

Using this implementation, the network side device sends a first signal to the terminal, and indicates at least one set of first configurations and / or corresponding activation states applied by the common signal through the first information field. In this way, the first signal can indicate the first configurations of different energy-saving states, so that the common signal of the terminal switches between different energy-saving configurations, and the terminal enters the energy-saving state in a simpler and faster manner, thereby achieving the effect of reducing the power consumption of the network device.

[0468] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the first signal is an LP-WUS, including a wake-up indication for indicating whether the terminal needs to wake up to monitor the PDCCH. In this embodiment, the first signal carries not only the wake-up indication but also a first information field, indicating to the RRC idle / inactive state terminal and / or the RRC connected state terminal at least one set of first configurations applied to the common signal and / or the activation status of the first configuration.

[0478] In some embodiments, the aforementioned preset rules include but are not limited to only including a rule of arranging the identifiers of the terminal groups from large to small or a rule of arranging the identifiers from small to large.

[0479] In the case where the first information includes first information fields of multiple serving cells, the second information fields associated with the multiple serving cells are sorted according to a preset rule, and the corresponding first information fields are set correspondingly to the second information fields.

[0480] In the case where the first signal includes first information fields of multiple serving cells, the first information fields and second information fields corresponding to the multiple serving cells can be set according to at least one of the three methods mentioned above, which will not be repeated here.

[0481] In this implementation, a second information field in the first signal corresponds to a wake-up indication of at least one terminal group, and is used to indicate whether the corresponding terminal group needs to wake up to perform PDCCH monitoring.

[0482] In some embodiments, the second information field uses bitmap information for wake-up indication, and each terminal group corresponds to one bit; or, the second information field uses codepoint information for wake-up indication, and each terminal group corresponds to one codepoint.

[0483] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, each first information field corresponds to at least one terminal group and is used to indicate the configuration of the common signal of the corresponding terminal group.

[0484] In some embodiments, in this implementation, the first information field can be indicated by a bitmap information. On the basis of the second information field corresponding to each terminal group, 1 bit or N (≥1) bits are added as the first information field through the bitmap information, which is used to indicate at least one set of first configurations applied to the public signal and / or the activation status of the first configuration.

[0485] In another embodiment, the first information field can be indicated by codepoint information. On the basis of the second information field corresponding to each terminal group, 1 bit or M (≥1) bits are added as the first information field through codepoint information, which is used to indicate at least one set of first configurations applied to the public signal and / or the activation status of the first configuration.

[0486] In another implementation manner of the present disclosure, in some embodiments, one service cell corresponds to one first information domain, and in some embodiments, the second information domains corresponding to multiple terminal groups of one service cell are arranged in cascade according to preset rules, and the first information domain corresponding to the corresponding service cell is arranged before or after all the second information domains.

[0487] In some embodiments, in this implementation, the first information field can be indicated by a bitmap information, and 1 bit or N (≥1) bits are added as the first information field on the basis of the bitmap including all the second information fields, which is used to indicate at least one set of first configurations applied to the public signal and / or the activation status of the first configuration.

[0488] In another implementation manner, in some embodiments, the first information field may be indicated by codepoint information, and 1 bit or M (≥1) bits may be added as the first information field on the basis of the information block including the entire second information field, to indicate at least one set of first configurations applied to the public signal and / or the activation status of the first configuration.

[0489] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in the first signal, the association relationship between the codepoint value and the corresponding indication information between the first information field and the second information field can be defined by a high-level parameter / or determined by a corresponding relationship with the high-level parameter.

[0490] The following describes an example of how the first information field and the second information field are sent in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0491] The terminal is configured to obtain a set of common signal configurations, including one or more of the following: SSB-related configurations, PRACH resource configurations, and paging signal resource configurations. Furthermore, a cell is assumed to contain 20 UEs, divided into three subgroups: Subgroup 1 corresponds to UEs #1 to #10, Subgroup 2 to UEs #11 to #15, and Subgroup 3 to UEs #16 to #20.

[0492] Example 1

[0493] In this first embodiment, in the first signal, each second information field carries one first information field, and the first information field and the second information field are indicated by bitmap information.

[0494] For example, when the second information field is indicated by bitmap information, the number of bits in the first signal is N = (subgroups × number of information) bits, where each subgroup corresponds to a first information field. For example, each subgroup corresponds to 2 bits of information, where the first bit is the second information field and is used as a wake-up indication, and the second bit is the first information field and is used to indicate at least one set of first configurations applied to the common signal and / or the activation status of the first configurations.

[0495] In some embodiments, in the first signal, the second information fields and the first information fields corresponding to the multiple subgroups are arranged in a cascade according to a predefined rule, for example, the information bits are cascaded in order from low to high or from high to low according to the subgroup numbers.

[0496] For example, when the bit map of the first signal is 6 bits, the bit at the first position is used to indicate the second information field corresponding to subgroup one, and the bit at the second position is used to indicate the first information field corresponding to subgroup one; the bit at the third position is used to indicate the second information field corresponding to subgroup two, and the bit at the fourth position is used to indicate the first information field corresponding to subgroup two; the bit at the fifth position is used to indicate the second information field corresponding to subgroup three, and the bit at the sixth position is used to indicate the first information field corresponding to subgroup three.

[0497] Example 2

[0498] In the second embodiment, the first signal includes one first information field, the first information field corresponds to all the second information fields in the first signal, and the first information field and the second information field are indicated by bitmap information.

[0499] When the second information field is indicated by bitmap information, the number of bits in the first signal N=(the number of bits of the second information field of all subgroups + the number of bits of the first information field) bits, where all subgroups correspond to a set of first information fields.

[0500] For example, the LP-WUS information indicates that each subgroup requires 1 bit of information for a wake-up indication (second information field), and the first information field indicates that 1 bit of information is required. The second information fields (wake-up indications) corresponding to multiple subgroups are concatenated according to a predefined rule, and the first information field is added after the concatenated information.

[0501] For example, when the bitmap of the first signal is 4 bits, the bits at the first position to the third position are used as wake-up indications (second information fields) of different subgroups, and the bit at the fourth position is used to indicate the first information field.

[0502] Example 3

[0503] In the third embodiment, in the first signal, each second information field carries one first information field, and the first information field and the second information field are indicated by codepoint information.

[0504] When the first signal is indicated by codepoint information, the number of bits of the first signal, N, is equal to (subgroups × number of information) bits, where each subgroup corresponds to a first information field, and the association between the codepoint value and the indication information between the corresponding first information field and the second information field can be defined by a higher-level parameter or determined by a corresponding relationship with a higher-level parameter. For example, each subgroup corresponds to a codepoint of (N1+N2) bits, where the first codepoint bit number, N1, is used to send a wake-up indication (second information field), and the second codepoint bit number, N2, is used as the first information field to indicate at least one set of first configurations and / or the activation status of the first configurations applied to the common signal.

[0505] In some embodiments, multiple second information fields and corresponding first information fields are concatenated according to a predefined rule, for example, information bits are concatenated in descending order of subgroup numbers or descending order of subgroup numbers.

[0506] For example, for each subgroup, the codepoint used to send the wakeup indication is 2 bits, and the codepoint used as the first information field is also 2 bits. Therefore, each subgroup corresponds to a 4-bit information field length, and the subgroups are concatenated in ascending order. Alternatively, the wakeup indications (second information fields) corresponding to all subgroups can be concatenated with the first information fields corresponding to all subgroups, with each part arranged in ascending order of subgroup number.

[0507] Example 4

[0508] In the fourth embodiment, the first signal includes one first information field, the first information field corresponds to all the second information fields in the first signal, and the first information field and the second information field are indicated by codepoint information.

[0509] In this embodiment, when the first signal is indicated by codepoint information, the number of bits of the first signal, N, is equal to (the number of bits of the second information field of all subgroups + the number of bits of the first information field) bits, where all subgroups correspond to one first information field. For example, according to the LP-WUS information, each subgroup requires a 2-bit codepoint to send a wake-up indication (second information field), and the first information field requires 2 bits of information.

[0510] In some embodiments, the second information fields of the multiple subgroups are concatenated according to a predefined rule, for example, the first information field is added after the multiple second information fields.

[0511] For example, the bit map of the first signal determined by the above method is 8 bits, wherein the bits at the first position to the sixth position are used to send wake-up indications for multiple subgroups, and the bits at the seventh and eighth positions are used as the first information field to indicate at least one set of first configurations and / or the activation status of the first configuration applied to the common signal.

[0512] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in step S1120, the configuration of the common signal is determined according to the first information field, including one or more of the following:

[0513] When the first information field includes the first sub-information field, determining that the configuration of the common signal is the first configuration;

[0514] When the first information field includes a second sub-information field and the second sub-information field indicates that the activation state is activated, determining that the configuration of the common signal is the first configuration;

[0515] When the first information field includes a second sub-information field and the second sub-information field indicates that the activation state is inactive, the configuration of the common signal is determined to be a second configuration pre-acquired in addition to the first configuration.

[0516] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the method of determining that the configuration of the common signal is the first configuration based on the first sub-information field and / or the second sub-information field in the first signal is the same as the method of indicating the first sub-information field and / or the second sub-information field through DCI in the above-mentioned embodiment of the present disclosure, and will not be repeated here.
