Abstract
Description
Information configuration method, apparatus and processor readable storage medium
[0001] This disclosure claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202410578026.8, filed on May 10, 2024, entitled "Information Configuration Method, Apparatus and Processor-Readable Storage Medium", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0002] This disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to an information configuration method, apparatus, and processor-readable storage medium. Background Technology
[0003] To conserve terminal power, when there is no service transmission between the network equipment and the terminal, the power-intensive main radio (MR) can be shut down to enter an ultra-deep sleep state. Simultaneously, the terminal can activate a low-power receiver to receive a first signal and / or a second signal, generated using on-off keying (OOK) waveforms. For example, the first signal can be used to obtain wake-up information, and the second signal can be used to obtain at least one of synchronization information, measurement information, or cell index-related information to wake up communication between the terminal and the network equipment.
[0004] Currently, New Radio (NR) uplink and downlink signals are generated based on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols. This means that different carriers on the same OFDM symbol can independently carry information, and the terminal decodes the information of each subcarrier using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) operations. However, one OOK symbol can be mapped to multiple consecutive carriers. Therefore, it is necessary to consider how to configure the first and / or second signals generated based on the OOK waveform to achieve their transmission. However, there is currently no solution for configuring the first and / or second signals generated based on the OOK waveform. Summary of the Invention

For example, A and / or B can represent three cases: A alone, A and B simultaneously, and B alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.
[0205] In this disclosure, the term "multiple" refers to two or more, and other quantifiers are similar.
[0206] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
[0207] The following describes the relevant technologies involved in this disclosure:
[0208] 1. Terminal energy saving
[0209] To address terminal energy conservation, a first and / or second signal based on OOK waveform generation is proposed. The first signal can also be called a Low Power Wake-up Signal (LP-WUS) or other names, and the second signal can be called a Low Power Synchronization Signal (LP-SS) or other names, to further reduce terminal power consumption based on existing energy-saving technologies. In RRC_IDLE mode, when network equipment (such as base stations) and the terminal are not transmitting services, the power-consuming MR can be turned off to enter an extremely low-power state. Simultaneously, the Low Power Wake-Up Receiver (LP-WUR) is turned on to receive the second signal sent by the network equipment to obtain at least one of time-frequency synchronization information, measurement information, and cell-related information; and the first signal is received to determine whether the MR and network equipment need to be woken up for communication. This can significantly save terminal power consumption.
[0210] 2. First signal (described using LP-WUS) and second signal (described using LP-SS)
[0211] Unlike NR's OFDM signals, which carry information based on each orthogonal subcarrier, the LP-SS and LP-WUS signals, generated from OOK waveforms, carry OOK information based on OFDM symbols. The LP-WUS signal can be generated using different types of OOK waveforms, such as the first type (or OOK-1 waveform, or other names) or the second type (or OOK-4 waveform, or other names). The number of OOK information bits carried per OFDM symbol differs between OOK-1 and OOK-4 waveforms, and / or their received sequence types differ. Therefore, the signal generation and configuration methods differ for different OOK waveform types. Correspondingly, the LP-WUS reception and demodulation methods differ for different waveforms. For example, for OOK-1 waveforms, the LP-WUS receives the frequency domain sequence mapped on the OFDM signal to obtain information; for OOK-4 waveforms, the LP-WUS receives the time domain sequence to obtain information.
[0212] 3. Methods for generating OOK waveforms
[0213] Considering that the first signal (described as LP-WUS) and the second signal (described as LP-SS) can be generated based on a first type of OOK waveform (described as OOK-1 waveform) and / or a second type of OOK waveform (described as OOK-4 waveform), however, the current NR protocol does not specify a method for generating OOK waveforms. This disclosure proposes a method for generating OOK waveforms as follows:
[0214] As shown in Figure 1, for OOK-1: one OFDM symbol corresponds to one information bit (single-bit), and the method of mapping LP-WUS to a subcarrier (SC) is as follows:
[0215] OOK = 1 or OOK ON symbol means that all SC inputs are a specific sequence;
[0216] OOK = 0 or the OOK OFF symbol means that the input power of all SCs is zero (from the baseband perspective).
[0217] As shown in Figure 2, for OOK-4: M bits of OOK-4 are generated in the time domain. Before the signal is mapped to N SCs, it needs to undergo Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) and / or Least Squares (LS) transformation.
[0218] Based on the requirements, the LP-WUS signal needs to support both OOK-1 and OOK-4 simultaneously. The LP-SS signal needs to support either OOK-1 or OOK-4. Furthermore, for the LP-SS and LP-WUS signals, it is also necessary to consider the parameter configuration, resource mapping method, and terminal reception method for different OOK waveform types.
[0219] For example, if the LP-WUS signal needs to support both OOK-1 and OOK-4 simultaneously, the following should also be considered:
[0220] How to specify whether to use OOK-1 and / or OOK-4;
[0221] For OOK-4, the specific supported M values;
[0222] The SCS used for the cyclic prefix (CP)-OFDM symbol for LP-WUS signal generation can be the same as or different from the SCS used for other NR transmissions in the same CP-OFDM symbol.
[0223] For example, for LP-SS signals, the following should also be considered:
[0224] The LP-SS signal is generated based on the first type of OOK waveform or the second type of OOK waveform; the SCS of the CP-OFDM symbol used for generating the LP-SS signal is the same as or different from the SCS of the symbol used for generating the LP-WUS.
[0225] Therefore, generating the first and / or second signals based on the OOK waveform requires addressing the following issues:
[0226] (1) Different OOK waveform types have different transmission and demodulation methods. How to design configuration parameters and terminal receiving methods to simultaneously support different OOK transmission waveforms generated by the first signal and / or the second signal?
[0227] (2) The first signal and / or the second signal adopt a unified OOK waveform configuration and / or a dedicated OOK waveform configuration, and how to configure them specifically.
[0228] This disclosure provides an information configuration method, apparatus, and processor-readable storage medium to address the current lack of a solution for configuring a first signal and / or a second signal generated based on an OOK waveform. The method and apparatus are based on the same concept, and since their problem-solving principles are similar, implementations of the apparatus and method can be mutually referenced; repeated details will not be elaborated further.
[0229] As shown in Figure 3, an embodiment of this disclosure provides an information configuration method, including the following steps:
[0230] Step 31: The first device acquires at least one configuration information for determining the OOK waveform of the first signal and / or the second signal;
[0231] Wherein, the first signal is used for the first device to obtain wake-up information, and the second signal is used for the first device to obtain at least one of synchronization information, measurement information, and cell index related information.
[0232] In some embodiments, the first signal may also be referred to as the LP-WUS signal or other names, and the second signal may also be referred to as the LP-SS or other names, and the embodiments disclosed herein are not limited thereto.
[0233] In some embodiments, the first device may be a terminal, or a terminal device, or a user equipment (UE), etc.
[0234] In some embodiments, the first device acquires at least one configuration information for determining the OOK waveform of the first signal and / or the second signal, which can be obtained in a manner based on protocol conventions, i.e., the configuration information is based on protocol conventions. For example, the first device can acquire at least one configuration information for determining the OOK waveform of the first signal and / or the second signal based on predefined protocol information.
[0235] In some embodiments, the first device acquires at least one configuration information for determining the OOK waveform of the first signal and / or the second signal, which can be obtained based on network device-side configuration. That is, the configuration information is configured by the network device side. For example, the configuration information can be carried in at least one of the following messages: SIB (e.g., SIB1 or SIB-X), MIB, or RRC message. For instance, the first device can receive at least one configuration information for determining the OOK waveform of the first signal and / or the second signal sent by a second device (e.g., a network device).
[0236] In some embodiments, at least one set of configuration information for determining the OOK waveform of the first signal and / or the second signal may be a set of OOK waveform configuration parameters for determining the first signal and / or the second signal, or multiple sets of OOK waveform configuration parameters for determining the first signal and / or the second signal, or one or more configuration parameters for determining the OOK waveform of the first signal and / or the second signal, etc. The embodiments disclosed herein are not limited thereto.
[0237] This disclosure provides a method for a terminal to acquire at least one configuration information for determining an OOK waveform of a first signal and / or a second signal. The terminal can then transmit the first signal and / or the second signal based on the configuration information of the OOK waveform, thereby providing conditions for implementing a terminal energy-saving scheme. This solves the current problem of how to configure the first signal and / or the second signal generated based on the OOK waveform.
[0238] In some embodiments, the configuration information includes at least one of the following OOK waveform configuration parameters:
[0239] The first indication information is used to indicate the OOK waveform type associated with the first signal and / or the second signal. In some embodiments, the first indication information may explicitly indicate the OOK waveform type associated with the first signal and / or the second signal, and / or implicitly indicate the number of bits of the OOK symbol carried on an OFDM symbol (for example, if the first indication information indicates that the OOK waveform type is the first type of OOK waveform, M=1 can be determined based on the protocol, that is, the first indication information may implicitly indicate the number of bits of the OOK symbol carried on an OFDM symbol). For example: the first indication information may indicate only the OOK waveform type related to the first signal, and / or implicitly indicate the number of bits of the OOK symbol carried on an OFDM symbol corresponding to the corresponding OOK waveform type; or, the first indication information may indicate only the OOK waveform type related to the second signal, and / or implicitly indicate the number of bits of the OOK symbol carried on an OFDM symbol corresponding to the corresponding OOK waveform type; or, the first indication information may indicate the OOK waveform type related to the first signal and the OOK waveform type related to the second signal respectively (i.e., the OOK waveform types related to the first signal and the second signal may be the same or different), and / or implicitly indicate the number of bits of the OOK symbol carried on an OFDM symbol corresponding to the corresponding OOK waveform type; or, the first indication information may indicate the OOK waveform type common to the first signal and the second signal (i.e., the OOK waveform types related to the first signal and the second signal are the same), and / or implicitly indicate the number of bits of the OOK symbol carried on an OFDM symbol corresponding to the corresponding OOK waveform type, etc., and the embodiments disclosed herein are not limited thereto.
[0240] The second indication information is used to indicate the number of bits M of the OOK symbol carried on an OFDM symbol; in some embodiments, the second indication information may explicitly indicate the number of bits of the OOK symbol carried on an OFDM symbol, and / or implicitly indicate the OOK waveform type associated with the first signal and / or the second signal (for example, the OOK waveform type may be implicitly indicated when M is a specific value).
[0241] Encoded modulation information;
[0242] Time-domain resource configuration information for the first signal and / or the second signal;
[0243] Frequency domain resource configuration information for the first signal and / or the second signal;
[0244] SCS; for example: the SCS can be configured on the network side or agreed upon by the protocol to be the same as the SCS of the NR channel. The NR channel can be a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB), or a Control Resource Set (CORESET) configured on the Bandwidth Part (BWP), or CORESET#0, etc. The embodiments disclosed herein are not limited thereto.
[0245] In some embodiments, the configuration information includes one or more of the following:
[0246] The common configuration parameter set includes OOK waveform configuration parameters for the common configuration of the first signal and the second signal; for example, the common configuration parameter set may include at least one of the following OOK waveform configuration parameters for the common configuration of the first signal and the second signal: the first indication information (e.g., for indicating the common OOK waveform type of the first signal and the second signal), the second indication information (e.g., for indicating the common M value of the first signal and the second signal), coding and modulation information (e.g., the common coding and modulation information of the first signal and the second signal), time domain resource configuration information (e.g., the common time domain resources of the first signal and the second signal), frequency domain resource configuration information (e.g., the common frequency domain resources of the first signal and the second signal), SCS (e.g., the common SCS of the first signal and the second signal), etc. Of course, the embodiments disclosed herein are not limited thereto.
[0247] The set of dedicated configuration parameters for the first signal includes OOK waveform configuration parameters independently configured for the first signal. For example, the set of dedicated configuration parameters for the first signal may include at least one of the following OOK waveform configuration parameters independently configured for the first signal: the first indication information (e.g., for indicating the OOK waveform type dedicated to the first signal), the second indication information (e.g., for indicating the M value dedicated to the first signal), coding and modulation information (e.g., coding and modulation information dedicated to the first signal), time domain resource configuration information (e.g., time domain resources dedicated to the first signal), frequency domain resource configuration information (e.g., frequency domain resources dedicated to the first signal), SCS (e.g., SCS dedicated to the first signal), etc. Of course, the embodiments disclosed herein are not limited thereto.
[0248] The set of dedicated configuration parameters for the second signal includes OOK waveform configuration parameters independently configured for the second signal. For example, the set of dedicated configuration parameters for the second signal may include at least one of the following OOK waveform configuration parameters independently configured for the second signal: the first indication information (e.g., for indicating the OOK waveform type dedicated to the second signal), the second indication information (e.g., for indicating the M value dedicated to the second signal), coding and modulation information (e.g., coding and modulation information dedicated to the second signal), time-domain resource configuration information (e.g., time-domain resources dedicated to the second signal), frequency-domain resource configuration information (e.g., frequency-domain resources dedicated to the second signal), SCS (e.g., SCS dedicated to the second signal), etc. Of course, the embodiments disclosed herein are not limited thereto.
[0249] In some embodiments, the first device acquires at least one configuration information for determining the OOK waveform of the first signal and / or the second signal in a manner including at least one of the following:
[0250] The first device obtains at least one configuration information for determining the OOK waveform of the first signal based on the common configuration parameter set and / or the specific configuration parameter set of the first signal;
[0251] The first device obtains at least one configuration information for determining the OOK waveform of the second signal based on the common configuration parameter set and / or the specific configuration parameter set of the second signal.
[0252] For example, when a common configuration parameter set is predefined based on the protocol or the network device is configured with a common configuration parameter set, the first device can determine at least one configuration information of the OOK waveform of the first signal based on the common configuration parameter set; and / or, determine at least one configuration information of the OOK waveform of the second signal based on the at least one configuration information of the OOK waveform of the first signal. That is, the OOK waveform configuration of the first signal and / or the second signal can both be determined based on the common configuration parameter set.
[0253] For example, if a specific set of configuration parameters for the first signal is predefined based on the protocol, or if the network device configures a specific set of configuration parameters for the first signal, the first device can determine at least one configuration piece of the OOK waveform of the first signal based on this specific set of configuration parameters. That is, the OOK waveform configuration of the first signal can be determined based on the specific set of configuration parameters for the first signal. Similarly, the OOK waveform configuration of the second signal can also be determined based on the specific set of configuration parameters for the second signal, which will not be elaborated further here.
[0254] For example, when the protocol predefines a common set of configuration parameters and a dedicated set of configuration parameters for the first signal, or when the protocol predefines a common set of configuration parameters and a dedicated set of configuration parameters configured by the network device for the first signal, or when the protocol predefines a dedicated set of configuration parameters for the first signal and a common set of configuration parameters configured by the network device, or when the network device configures a common set of configuration parameters and a dedicated set of configuration parameters for the first signal, the first device can determine at least one configuration piece of the OOK waveform of the first signal based on the common set of configuration parameters and the dedicated set of configuration parameters for the first signal. That is, the OOK waveform configuration of the first signal can be determined based on the common set of configuration parameters and the dedicated set of configuration parameters for the first signal. Similarly, the OOK waveform configuration of the second signal can also be determined based on the common set of configuration parameters and the dedicated set of configuration parameters for the second signal, which will not be elaborated further here.
[0255] For example, a first indication information (such as indicating the common OOK waveform type of the first and second signals) and / or a second indication information (such as indicating the common M value of the first and second signals) may be configured in a common configuration parameter set predefined by the protocol or configured on the network device side. At least one of the following may also be configured in the first signal's dedicated configuration parameter set: independent coding and modulation information of the first signal, independent time-domain resource configuration information of the first signal, and independent frequency-domain resource configuration information of the first signal. And / or, at least one of the following may also be configured in the second signal's dedicated configuration parameter set: independent coding and modulation information of the second signal, independent time-domain resource configuration information of the second signal, and independent frequency-domain resource configuration information of the second signal. Of course, the embodiments disclosed herein are not limited thereto.
[0256] In some embodiments, the first indication information is used to indicate at least one of the following:
[0257] The OOK waveform type is the first type of OOK waveform;
[0258] The OOK waveform type is the second type of OOK waveform;
[0259] The OOK waveform type is either a protocol-defined or pre-configured OOK waveform type;
[0260] The first type of OOK waveform and the second type of OOK waveform have different numbers of bits of the OOK symbol carried on the OFDM symbol and / or different received sequence types.
[0261] For example, the first indication information can use N bits to explicitly indicate the OOK waveform type associated with the first signal and / or the second signal, where N is a positive integer.
[0262] For example: an N-bit value of 0 indicates that the OOK waveform type is the first type of OOK waveform; an N-bit value of 1 indicates that the OOK waveform type is the second type of OOK waveform. Alternatively, an N-bit value of 0 can indicate that the OOK waveform type is the second type of OOK waveform; an N-bit value of 1 can indicate that the OOK waveform type is the first type of OOK waveform. Alternatively, when the N-bit value is a default value (such as a predefined or pre-configured value), it indicates that the OOK waveform type is the protocol-defined or pre-configured OOK waveform type (for example, the protocol-defined or pre-configured OOK waveform type can be either the first type of OOK waveform or the second type of OOK waveform).
[0263] For example, when the OOK waveform type configuration is predefined by the protocol or pre-configured by the network device, the first indication information can be used to indicate one of the OOK waveform type configurations. For instance, if the first indication information indicates the first configuration, it means that the OOK waveform type is the first type of OOK waveform; or if the first indication information indicates the second configuration, it means that the OOK waveform type is the second type of OOK waveform; or if the network device configuration indicates the third configuration, it means that the OOK waveform type is the OOK waveform type agreed upon by the protocol (for example, the OOK waveform type agreed upon by the protocol can be the first type of OOK waveform or it can be the second type of OOK waveform).
[0264] In some embodiments, when the first indication information indicates that the OOK waveform type is a first type of OOK waveform, the configuration information may include second indication information, or the first indication information may not be configured.
[0265] For example, if the first indication information indicates that the OOK waveform type is a first type of OOK waveform, the second indication information is not configured in the configuration information. In this case, the value of M is 1 by default, that is, if the first device knows that the OOK waveform type is a first type of OOK waveform, it can determine that M = 1.
[0266] For example, if the first indication information indicates that the OOK waveform type is a first type of OOK waveform, and the configuration information includes the second indication information, and the second indication information indicates that M = 1, then since the OOK waveform type is configured as a first type of OOK waveform, M can only be configured as 1.
[0267] In some embodiments, if the first indication information indicates that the OOK waveform type is a second type of OOK waveform, then the second indication information needs to be configured. Alternatively, if the value of M is determined by the protocol, then the second indication information may not need to be configured.
[0268] For example, when the first indication information indicates that the OOK waveform type is the second type of OOK waveform, the configuration information includes the second indication information, and the second indication information indicates that M = k, where k is any value within the range of values corresponding to M. For example, if the range of values for M is {1,2,4,8…}, then the second indication information can indicate that M = k, k ∈ {1,2,4,8…}.
[0269] In some embodiments, if the first indication information is not configured in the configuration information, the first device can determine the OOK waveform type based on the M value indicated by the second indication information. Alternatively, the OOK waveform type can be determined based on a predefined or preconfigured default value in the protocol.
[0270] For example, the first device determines the OOK waveform type in a manner that includes at least one of the following:
[0271] When the second indication information indicates that M > 1, the OOK waveform type is determined to be the second type of OOK waveform based on the protocol. That is, when the value of M is greater than 1, the default design of the OOK waveform type is the second type of OOK waveform. At this time, when the first device learns that M > 1 through the second indication information, it can determine that the OOK waveform type is the second type of OOK waveform.
[0272] When the second indication information indicates that M=1, the OOK waveform type is determined to be a protocol-defined or pre-configured OOK waveform type (for example, the protocol-defined or pre-configured OOK waveform type can be a first type of OOK waveform, or it can be a second type of OOK waveform). That is, when the value of M is 1, the OOK waveform type can be designed by default as a first type of OOK waveform, or it can be designed by default as a second type of OOK waveform. In this case, when the first device learns that M=1 through the second indication information, it can determine the corresponding OOK waveform type.
[0273] In some embodiments, the first type of OOK waveform has at least one of the following characteristics:
[0274] The number of bits for the OOK symbol mapped to at least one RE containing the first and / or second signals on an OFDM symbol is 1; for example, the number of bits for the OOK symbol mapped to all REs containing the first and / or second signals on an OFDM symbol is 1; or the number of bits for the OOK symbol mapped to a portion of the REs (e.g., one or more REs) containing the first and / or second signals on an OFDM symbol is 1.
[0275] The received sequence type is a frequency domain sequence.
[0276] And / or,
[0277] The second type of OOK waveform has at least one of the following characteristics:
[0278] The number of bits of the OOK symbol mapped by at least one RE containing the first signal and / or the second signal on an OFDM symbol is M; for example, the number of bits of the OOK symbol mapped by all REs containing the first signal and / or the second signal on an OFDM symbol is M, or the number of bits of the OOK symbol mapped by a portion of the REs (e.g., one or more REs) containing the first signal and / or the second signal on an OFDM symbol is M.
[0279] The number of bits of the OOK symbols after Discrete Fourier Transform and / or Least Squares of at least one RE mapping containing the first and / or second signals on an OFDM symbol is M; for example, it could be the number of bits of the OOK symbols after DFT and / or LS of all RE mappings containing the first and / or second signals on an OFDM symbol, or it could be the number of bits of the OOK symbols after DFT and / or LS of some RE mappings (e.g., one or more REs) containing the first and / or second signals on an OFDM symbol.
[0280] The received sequence type is a time-domain sequence.
[0281] In some embodiments, the coding and modulation information includes: coding rate and / or third indication information; wherein the third indication information is used to indicate the coding method and / or modulation method. Examples include Manchester coding, multi-level modulation, etc.
[0282] In some embodiments, the time-domain resource configuration information includes at least one of the following: transmission period, number of repeated transmissions, number of beam directions, and number of reception opportunities associated with a single beam.
[0283] In some embodiments, the frequency domain resource configuration information includes at least one of the following: number of sub-bands, frequency domain start position of sub-bands, frequency domain end position of sub-bands, sub-band bandwidth, SCS, bandwidth, frequency domain start position of frequency bands, and frequency domain end position of frequency bands.
[0284] For example, if SCS is configured in the above configuration information, then SCS does not need to be configured in the frequency domain resource configuration information; or, if SCS is not configured in the above configuration information, then SCS can be configured in the frequency domain resource configuration information.
[0285] For example, the frequency domain resource configuration information can be configured using frequency-division multiplexing (FDM). This frequency domain resource configuration information may include at least one of the following: number of sub-bands, frequency domain start position of the sub-band, frequency domain end position of the sub-band, sub-band bandwidth, and SCS.
[0286] For example, the frequency domain resource configuration information can be configured using time-division multiplexing (TDM) technology. This frequency domain resource configuration information may include at least one of the following: frequency bandwidth, frequency domain start position of the frequency band, frequency domain end position of the frequency band, and SCS.
[0287] For example, the frequency domain resource configuration information can also be configured using FDM and TDM methods. In this case, the frequency domain resource configuration information may include at least one of the following: number of sub-bands, frequency domain start position of sub-bands, frequency domain end position of sub-bands, sub-band bandwidth, SCS, bandwidth, frequency domain start position of frequency bands, and frequency domain end position of frequency bands.
[0288] The terminal devices involved in the embodiments of this disclosure can be devices that provide voice and / or data connectivity to users, handheld devices with wireless connectivity, or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem. The names of the terminal devices may differ in different systems; for example, in a 5G system, a terminal device can be called User Equipment (UE). Wireless terminal devices can communicate with one or more core networks (CNs) via a Radio Access Network (RAN). Wireless terminal devices can be mobile terminal devices, such as mobile phones (or "cellular" phones) and computers with mobile terminal devices, for example, portable, pocket-sized, handheld, computer-embedded, or vehicle-mounted mobile devices that exchange voice and / or data with the RAN. Examples include Personal Communication Service (PCS) phones, cordless phones, Session Initiated Protocol (SIP) phones, Wireless Local Loop (WLL) stations, and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs). Wireless terminal equipment can also be referred to as a system, subscriber unit, subscriber station, mobile station, mobile station, remote station, access point, remote terminal, access terminal, user terminal, user agent, or user device, but is not limited to these terms in the embodiments disclosed herein.
[0289] As shown in Figure 4, an embodiment of this disclosure provides an information configuration method, including the following steps:
[0290] Step 41: The second device acquires and / or sends at least one configuration information for determining the OOK waveform of the first signal and / or the second signal.
[0291] Wherein, the first signal is used for the first device to obtain wake-up information, and the second signal is used for the first device to obtain at least one of synchronization information, measurement information, and cell index related information.
[0292] For example, when the configuration information is based on a protocol agreement, the second device can obtain at least one configuration information for determining the OOK waveform of the first signal and / or the second signal in a predefined manner according to the protocol, so as to realize the transmission of the first signal and / or the second signal.
[0293] For example, the second device may also configure at least one configuration information for the first device to determine the OOK waveform of the first signal and / or the second signal. That is, the second device may send at least one configuration information to the first device to determine the OOK waveform of the first signal and / or the second signal to ensure that the understanding of the first device and the second device is consistent, thereby realizing the transmission of the first signal and / or the second signal.
[0294] For another example, a portion of the configuration information can be agreed upon based on the protocol, and another portion of the configuration information can be configured by the second device. That is, the second device can acquire and send at least one configuration information for determining the OOK waveform of the first signal and / or the second signal, so as to ensure that the understanding of the first device and the second device is consistent, thereby realizing the transmission of the first signal and / or the second signal.

[0338] The following describes a specific embodiment of the information configuration method of this disclosure, taking the first signal as LP-WUR and the second signal as LP-SS as an example:
[0339] Example 1:

[0367] Step Two: Based on the OOK waveform configuration parameters, LP-WUR determines the time-frequency resource mapping information of the OOK sequences of the LP-WUS and LP-SS signals. Based on different parameter configuration information, the following four schemes are elaborated:
[0368] Option 1: The first indication information is configured as 1 and / or the first configuration, and M is configured as 1 (i.e., the second indication information indicates M=1);
[0369] The OOK waveform generated by LP-SS and LP-WUS is OOK-1. The mapping relationship between the OOK symbol and the OFDM symbol is as follows:
[0370] The input values on the REs of LP-WUS and LP-SS on a single OFDM symbol corresponding to a 1-bit OOK OFF symbol (i.e., the information bits carried are 0) are all 0;
[0371] The input values on the REs of LP-WUS and LP-SS on a single OFDM symbol corresponding to a 1-bit OOK ON symbol (i.e., the information bit carried is 1) are a specific sequence. This sequence can be a fixed sequence agreed upon by the protocol (e.g., all 1s or random multi-ary constellation points), or a specific sequence carrying at least one of the following: cell identifier (Cell_ID), partial Cell_ID information, UE group identifier (UE group ID), wake-up information, etc. The specific sequence type and information carrying method are agreed upon by the protocol or configured by the base station, and will not be elaborated here.
[0372] The time-frequency resource mapping relationships for LP-SS and LP-WUS signals are as follows:
[0373] The time-frequency resource mapping relationship of LP-SS is related to at least one of the following: the transmission power of the LP-SS signal, the bit information of the OOK symbol, the OFDM sequence scrambled on the OOK symbol, and the Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) modulation. Specifically, the relationship may be as follows:
[0374] The time-frequency resource mapping relationship of LP-WUS is related to at least one of the following: the transmission power of the LP-WUS signal, the bit information of the OOK symbol, the OFDM sequence scrambled on the OOK symbol, and IFFT modulation. Specifically, the relationship may be as follows:
[0375] The meanings of the relevant parameters in Expression 1 and Expression 2 are as follows:
[0376] β LP-SS This is the transmit power factor of the LP-SS signal, which can be agreed upon by the protocol or configured by the base station; in particular, the protocol can specify the corresponding β on the OOK OFF symbol. LP-SS =0;
[0377] β LP-WUS This is the transmit power factor of the LP-WUS signal, which can be determined by the protocol or configured by the base station; specifically, the protocol can specify that the corresponding value on the OOK OFF symbol is β. LP-WUS =0;
[0378] p represents antenna port information;
[0379] k is the subcarrier index information where LP-WUS and LP-SS are located (this information is obtained from the frequency domain position of LP-WUS and LP-SS configured by the base station side, or predefined by the protocol, and will not be elaborated here);
[0380] In Expression 1, d(k) is a scrambled sequence on a single OOK ON symbol or OFDM symbol. It can be a predefined sequence (such as all 1s or random multi-base constellation points) or a sequence carrying Cell_ID or part of Cell_ID.
[0381] In expression two, c(k) is a scrambled sequence on a single OOK ON symbol or OFDM symbol, carrying all the wake-up information of LP-WUS;
[0382] l represents the index information of the OFDM symbol, and L is the length of the OFDM sequence scrambled on the OOK ON symbol. The OFDM sequence length can be obtained based on one of the following methods:
[0383] The OFDM sequence length is related to the effective bandwidth of the LP-WUS and / or LP-SS signals, such as The effective bandwidth for the actual transmission or reception of LP-WUS and / or LP-SS signals;
[0384] The OFDM sequence length is related to the sequence type, the effective bandwidth of the LP-WUS signal, and / or LP-SS signal, for example, L=2. n The maximum value (Walsh sequence) under the condition of not exceeding the effective bandwidth;
[0385] OFDM sequence length is based on protocol conventions.
[0386] Option 2: Configure the first indication information as 1 and / or the first configuration, without configuring M;
[0387] The OOK waveform generated by the LP-SS signal and / or LP-WUS signal is OOK-1, and the mapping relationship between the OOK Symbol and OFDM symbol is the same as that of Scheme 1;
[0388] The mapping relationship of time-frequency resources for LP-SS signals and / or LP-WUS signals is the same as that of Scheme 1.
[0389] Option 3: The first indication information is configured as 1 and / or the second configuration, and M is configured as 1 (i.e., the second indication information indicates M=1);
[0390] The OOK waveform generated by the LP-SS signal and / or LP-WUS is OOK-4, as shown in Figure 2.
[0391] The time-frequency resource mapping relationships for LP-SS signals and / or LP-WUS signals are as follows:
[0392] The time-frequency resource mapping relationship of LP-SS signals is related to at least one of the following: the transmission power of the LP-SS signal, the bit information of the OOK symbol, the OFDM sequence scrambled on the OOK symbol, DFT and / or LS modulation, IFFT modulation, etc. Specifically, the relationship may be:
[0393] or
[0394] The time-frequency resource mapping of the LP-WUS signal is related to at least one of the following: the transmission power of the LP-WUS signal, the bit information of the OOK symbol, the OFDM sequence scrambled on the OOK symbol, DFT and / or LS modulation, IFFT modulation, etc. Specifically, the relationship may be:
[0395] or
[0396] The meanings of the relevant parameters in expressions three through six are as follows:
[0397] β LP-SS ,β LP-WUSThe meanings of p, k, L, and l are the same as in Scheme 1;
[0398] In expressions three and four, d(m) and c(m) are the time-domain sequences corresponding to a single OOK ON symbol, and D(k) / C(k) is the N2-bit frequency-domain sequence generated from d(m) / c(m) through an N2-size FFT and / or LS. The following discussion is based on the N2 length and the limited bandwidth of LP-SS / LP-WUS. The time-frequency mapping method is expanded according to the relationship between the effective bandwidth of the LP-WUS signal or the LP-SS signal:
[0399] The N2-bit frequency domain sequence needs to be truncated before being mapped to the RE of the LP-SS. The truncation pattern can be agreed upon by the protocol or configured by the base station.
[0400] The N2-bit frequency domain sequence needs to be zero-padded (e.g., zero-padded at the beginning or end of the sequence or at both the beginning and end) before it is mapped to the RE where the LP-SS signal is located. The zero-padded pattern can be agreed upon by the protocol or configured by the base station.
[0401] The N2-bit frequency domain sequence is directly mapped to the RE where the LP-SS signal is located.
[0402] Option 4: The first indication information is configured as 1 and / or the second configuration, M is configured as >1 (that is, the second indication information indicates M > 1, for example, it can be any value greater than 1 within the range of M).
[0403] The OOK waveform generated by the LP-SS and LP-WUS signals is OOK-4. The mapping relationship between the OOK Symbol and the OFDM symbol is as follows:
[0404] An M-bit OOK symbol generates an M*N1 information sequence in the time domain based on the OOK information bits. After an N2-size FFT and / or LS, an N2-bit frequency domain sequence is generated. The N2 bits are padded with zeros, truncated, or directly mapped to the RE corresponding to the frequency domain of the LP-WUS or LP-SS signal on an OFDM symbol.
[0405] N1 is the time-domain sequence corresponding to 1 bit OOK ON / OFF. When OOK OFF, it is a sequence of all 0 bits of N1 bits. When OOK ON, it corresponds to a specific sequence of N1 bits (the specific form of the sequence is the same as in Scheme 3).
[0406] The time-frequency resource mapping relationships for LP-SS and LP-WUS signals are as follows:
[0407] The time-frequency resource mapping relationship of LP-SS signals is related to at least one of the following: the transmission power of LP-SS signals, the bit information of OOK symbols, the OFDM sequence scrambled on the OOK symbols, DFT and / or LS modulation, IFFT modulation, etc. Specifically, the relationship may be:
[0408] or
[0409] The time-frequency resource mapping relationship of the LP-WUS signal is related to at least one of the following: the transmission power of the LP-WUS signal, the bit information of the OOK symbol, the OFDM sequence scrambled on the OOK symbol, DFT and / or LS modulation, IFFT modulation, etc. Specifically, the relationship may be:
[0410] or
[0411] The relevant parameters in expressions seven through ten are the same as those in scheme 3.
[0412] Step 3: Based on the common configuration parameters in Step 1, LP-WUR determines the reception information of the OOK waveform, which is used to receive the LP-SS signal and the LP-WUS signal.
[0413] For example, when the OOK waveform is OOK-1, the received information of the LP-WUS signal and LP-SS signal includes at least one of the following:
[0414] The time-domain duration of an OOK symbol equals the time-domain duration of an OFDM symbol;
[0415] The local sequence for comparison and decision is a frequency domain sequence;
[0416] The received sequence type is a frequency domain sequence;
[0417] For example, when the OOK waveform is OOK-4, the received information of the LP-WUS and LP-SS signals includes at least one of the following:
[0418] The time-domain duration of an OOK symbol = the time-domain duration of an OFDM symbol / M;
[0419] The local sequence for comparison and decision is a time-domain sequence;
[0420] The received sequence type is a time-domain sequence.
[0421] Example 2: Unifying the OOK waveform configuration parameters for LP-WUS and LP-SS signals: M (i.e., second indication information);
[0422] Step 1: The LP-WUR receives the unified OOK waveform configuration parameters of the LP-SS and LP-WUS signals to obtain the OOK waveform information.
[0423] The OOK waveform configuration parameters include at least one of the following:
[0424] The second indication information is used to indicate the number of bits M of the OOK symbols carried on an OFDM symbol;
[0425] The selectable values for M are {1, 2, 4, 8…}. There is an implicit relationship between the second indication information and the OOK waveform type. This relationship can be based on protocol agreements, specifically:
[0426] M is configured as 1, and the protocol specifies that the OOK waveform type is either OOK-1 or OOK-4:
[0427] When M is configured as a value greater than 1, the OOK waveform type is OOK-4;
[0428] The time-frequency resource configuration parameters and modulation coding parameters are the same as in Example 1.
[0429] The OOK waveform configuration parameter information can be obtained by at least one of the following methods: SIB1, SIB-X, MIB, or RRC signaling, or protocol agreement.
[0430] Step 2: Based on the OOK waveform configuration parameters, LP-WUR determines the time-frequency resource mapping information of the OOK sequences of the LP-WUS and LP-SS signals. Based on different parameter configuration information, the following three schemes are elaborated:
[0431] Option 1: M is configured as 1, and the protocol specifies that the OOK waveform type is OOK-1;
[0432] The OOK waveform type of LP-WUS signal and LP-SS signal is OOK-1. The mapping relationship between OOK Symbol and OFDM symbol, and the time-frequency mapping relationship between LP-WUS signal and LP-SS signal are the same as those in Scheme 1 of Embodiment 1.
[0433] Option 2: M is configured as 1, and the protocol specifies that the OOK waveform type is OOK-4;
[0434] The OOK waveform type of LP-WUS signal and LP-SS signal is OOK-4. The mapping relationship between OOK Symbol and OFDM symbol, and the time-frequency mapping relationship between LP-WUS signal and LP-SS signal are the same as those in Scheme 3 of Embodiment 1.
[0435] Option 3: The value of M is greater than 1, and the protocol specifies that the OOK waveform type is OOK-4;
[0436] The OOK waveform type of LP-WUS signal and LP-SS signal is OOK-4. The mapping relationship between OOK Symbol and OFDM symbol, and the time-frequency mapping relationship between LP-WUS signal and LP-SS signal are the same as those in Scheme 4 of Embodiment 1.
[0437] Step 3: Based on the OOK waveform configuration parameters in Step 1, LP-WUR determines the receiving sequence information of OOK information, which is used to receive LP-SS and LP-WUS signals. The receiving information is the same as in Step 3 of Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here.

[0455] The first indication information is configured to 0 and / or the first configuration; parameter M can be configured or not configured.
[0456] If the M value is configured, it can only be set to 1;
[0457] If the value of M is not configured, the default value is M=1;
[0458] The first instruction information is configured as 1 and / or the second configuration, and the value of M can be any value in {1,2,4,8…}.
[0459] In some embodiments, the OOK configuration parameter in the second configuration parameter includes at least one of the following:
[0460] The first indication information is used to indicate the OOK waveform type associated with the LP-SS signal;
[0461] The possible values are {0, 1, default value}: 0 represents OOK-1 (i.e., the first type of OOK waveform), 1 represents OOK-4 (i.e., the second type of OOK waveform), and the default value represents the default OOK waveform type, which can be either OOK-1 or OOK-4;

[0470] Alternatively, the first indication information indicates the first configuration, representing OOK-1; that is, all REs on one OFDM symbol are mapped to a 1-bit OOK ON / OFF symbol or a frequency domain sequence carrying at least one of synchronization information, measurement information, and cell information, and the received sequence type is a frequency domain sequence;
[0471] The first indication information indicates the second configuration as OOK-4; that is, all REs on one OFDM symbol are mapped to M bits of OOK ON / OFF symbol after DFT and / or LS, and the received sequence type is a time-domain sequence.
[0472] The second indication information is used to indicate the number of bits M of the OOK symbols carried on an OFDM symbol;

[0479] In some embodiments, the OOK waveform configuration parameters are configured in separate sets of configuration parameters for the LP-WUS and LP-SS signals, respectively. Alternatively, they can be configured uniformly in a common set of configuration parameters for the LP-WUS and LP-SS signals. This parameter set can be configured with two values: the first value is used to determine the OOK waveform of the LP-SS signal, and the second value is used to determine the OOK waveform of the LP-WUS signal. The specific configuration method can be agreed upon by the protocol or configured by the base station, including the following two schemes:

[0486] First indication information: Optional values are {0, 1, default value}: 0 represents OOK-1, 1 represents OOK-4, and default value indicates that not configuring this parameter is the default OOK waveform type, which can be OOK-1 or OOK-4 as agreed by the protocol or pre-configured;
[0487] Specifically, if the first indication information is configured to 0, then both the LP-WUS signal and the LP-SS signal are generated based on OOK-1. For details on the OOK signal generation process, please refer to Scheme 1 of Embodiment 1.
[0488] The OOK waveform configuration parameter set for the LP-WUS signal includes at least one of the parameters from the first configuration parameter mentioned above:
[0489] The second indication information, for example, the possible values of M are {1,2,4,8…};
[0490] SCS: (For example, if this parameter is not configured in the common configuration parameter set for LP-WUS and LP-SS signals, it can be configured independently or agreed upon by the protocol, which will not be elaborated further).
[0491] Specifically, if the first indication information is configured to 0, the M value (i.e. the second indication information) does not need to be configured; if the second indication information is configured, it can only be configured as M=1.

[0493] The second indication information, for example, the possible values of M are {1,2,4,8…};
[0494] SCS (For example, if this parameter is not configured in the common configuration parameter set of LP-WUS and LP-SS signals, it can be configured independently or agreed upon by the protocol, which will not be elaborated further).
[0495] Specifically, if the first indication information is configured to 0, the M value (i.e. the second indication information) does not need to be configured; if the second indication information is configured, it can only be configured as M=1.
[0496] Option 3: The OOK waveform type and / or M (i.e., the first indication information and / or the second indication information) are configured in the common configuration parameter set of the LP-WUS signal and the LP-SS signal. Configuring one value indicates that the two signals share this parameter, and configuring two values indicates that they are applied to the two signals respectively.
[0497] Step 2: Based on the OOK waveform configuration parameters, LP-WUR determines whether the OOK waveform type of the LP-WUS and LP-SS signals is OOK-1 or OOK-4 and / or the M value, which is used to determine the time-frequency mapping information of the OOK waveform, including the following four schemes:
[0498] Option 1: The OOK waveform type and M value of the LP-WUS signal and LP-SS signal are the same, the same as in Example 1;
[0499] Option 2: The OOK waveform type of the LP-WUS signal is OOK-1, and the OOK waveform type of the LP-SS signal is OOK-4;
[0500] The mapping relationship between the OOK Symbol and OFDM symbol of the LP-WUS signal, and the time-frequency mapping relationship of the LP-WUS signal are the same as those in Scheme 1 of Embodiment 1;
[0501] The mapping relationship between the OOK Symbol and OFDM symbol of the LP-SS signal (M=1) and the time-frequency mapping relationship of LP-SS are the same as those in Scheme 3 of Embodiment 1;
[0502] The mapping relationship between the OOK Symbol and OFDM symbol of the LP-SS signal (M>1) and the time-frequency mapping relationship of LP-SS are the same as those in Scheme 4 of Embodiment 1.
[0503] Option 3: The OOK waveform type of the LP-WUS signal is OOK-4, and the OOK waveform type of the LP-SS signal is OOK-1;
[0504] The mapping relationship between the OOK Symbol and OFDM symbol of the LP-SS signal, and the time-frequency mapping relationship of the LP-SS signal are the same as those in Scheme 1 of Embodiment 1;
[0505] The mapping relationship between the OOK Symbol and OFDM symbol of the LP-WUS signal (M=1) and the time-frequency mapping relationship of the LP-WUS signal are the same as those in Scheme 3 of Embodiment 1.
[0506] The mapping relationship between the OOK Symbol and OFDM symbol of the LP-WUS signal (M>1) and the time-frequency mapping relationship of the LP-WUS signal are the same as those in Scheme 4 of Embodiment 1.
[0507] Option 4: The OOK waveform type of the LP-WUS signal and the LP-SS signal is OOK-4, and the value of M is different;
[0508] The mapping relationship between the OOK Symbol and OFDM symbol when M=1, and the time-frequency mapping relationship of the LP-WUS signal are the same as those in Scheme 3 of Embodiment 1;
[0509] The mapping relationship between OOK Symbol and OFDM symbol for M>1, and the time-frequency mapping relationship of LP-WUS signal are the same as those in Scheme 4 of Embodiment 1;
[0510] Step 3: Based on the OOK waveform configuration parameters in Step 1, LP-WUR determines the receive sequence information of OOK information, which is used to receive LP-SS and LP-WUS signals.
[0511] For example, when the OOK waveform is OOK-1, the received information of the LP-WUS signal and LP-SS signal includes at least one of the following:
[0512] The time-domain duration of an OOK symbol equals the time-domain duration of an OFDM symbol;
[0513] The local sequence for comparison and decision is a frequency domain sequence;
[0514] For example, when the OOK waveform is OOK-4, the received information of the LP-WUS and LP-SS signals includes at least one of the following:
[0515] The time-domain duration of an OOK symbol = the time-domain duration of an OFDM symbol / M;
[0516] The local sequence for comparison and decision is a time-domain sequence.
[0517] Example 4: OOK waveform configuration parameters for independent LP-WUS and LP-SS signals: M value (i.e., second indication information);
[0518] Step 1: The LP-WUR receives the OOK waveform configuration parameters (first configuration parameters) of the LP-WUS signal and the OOK waveform configuration parameters (second configuration parameters) of the LP-SS signal, and the LP-WUR obtains the OOK waveform information.
[0519] The OOK waveform configuration parameters include at least one of the following:
[0520] The second indication information is used to indicate the number of bits M of the OOK symbols carried on an OFDM symbol;
[0521] The selectable values for M are {1, 2, 4, 8…}. There is an implicit relationship between the second indication information and the OOK waveform type. This relationship can be based on protocol agreements, specifically:
[0522] M is configured as 1, and the protocol specifies that the OOK waveform type is either OOK-1 or OOK-4:
[0523] When M is configured as a value greater than 1, the OOK waveform type is OOK-4;
[0524] SCS, with selectable values of {15k, 30k, 60k…}, or the SCS can be the same as the SCS of the NR channel according to the protocol. The NR channel can be SSB, CORESET#0, activating the CORESET configured on the BWP.
[0525] The OOK waveform configuration parameter information can be obtained by at least one of the following methods: SIB1, SIB-X, MIB, or RRC signaling, or protocol agreement.
[0526] The OOK waveform configuration parameters are configured separately in the parameter sets of the LP-WUS and LP-SS signals, or they can be configured uniformly in a common configuration parameter set for the LP-WUS and LP-SS signals. This parameter set can be configured with two values: the first value determines the OOK waveform of the LP-SS signal, and the second value determines the OOK waveform of the LP-WUS signal. The specific configuration method can be agreed upon by the protocol or configured by the base station, including the following three schemes:
[0527] Option 1: The OOK waveform configuration parameters are configured independently for the LP-WUS and LP-SS signals;
[0528] The set of OOK waveform-specific configuration parameters for LP-WUS signals includes at least one of the aforementioned OOK waveform configuration parameters;
[0529] The set of OOK waveform-specific configuration parameters for LP-SS signals includes at least one of the aforementioned OOK waveform configuration parameters;
[0530] Option 2: The SCS is configured in the common configuration parameter set of the LP-WUS and LP-SS signals, while the M parameter is configured independently for the LP-WUS and LP-SS signals;
[0531] The common configuration parameter set for LP-WUS and LP-SS signals includes:
[0532] SCS, with selectable values of {15k, 30k, 60k…}, or the SCS can be the same as the SCS of the NR channel according to the protocol. The NR channel can be SSB, CORESET#0, activating the CORESET configured on the BWP.

[0535] SCS (For example, if this parameter is not configured in the common configuration parameter set of LP-WUS and LP-SS signals, it can be configured independently or agreed upon by the protocol, which will not be elaborated further).
[0536] Specifically, if the first indication information is configured as 0, the M value does not need to be configured; if the M value is configured, it can only be configured as 1.
[0537] The set of OOK waveform-specific configuration parameters for LP-SS signals includes at least one of the following parameters:
[0538] The second indication information, for example, the possible values of M are {1,2,4,8…};
[0539] SCS (For example, if this parameter is not configured in the common configuration parameter set for LP-WUS and LP-SS signals, it can be configured independently or agreed upon by the protocol, which will not be elaborated further).
[0540] Specifically, if the first indication information is configured as 0, the M value does not need to be configured; if the M value is configured, it can only be configured as 1.
[0541] Option 3: The OOK waveform configuration parameter is configured in the common configuration parameter set of LP-WUS and LP-SS signals. Configuring one value means that the two signals share this parameter, and configuring two values means that they are applied to the two signals respectively.
[0542] Step 2: Based on the OOK waveform configuration parameters, LP-WUR determines whether the OOK waveform type of the LP-WUS and LP-SS signals is OOK-1 or OOK-4 and / or the M value, which is used to determine the time-frequency mapping information of the OOK waveform, including the following four schemes:
[0543] Option 1: The M values of the LP-WUS signal and the LP-SS signal are the same, which is the same as in Example 2;
[0544] Option 2: M=1 for the LP-WUS signal (which can be predefined as OOK-1 or OOK-4), and M>1 for the LP-SS signal;
[0545] The mapping relationship between the OOK Symbol and OFDM symbol of the LP-WUS signal, and the time-frequency mapping relationship of the LP-WUS signal are the same as those in Scheme 1 (Scheme 3 of OOK-4) in Example 1;
[0546] The mapping relationship between the OOK Symbol and OFDM symbol of the LP-SS signal, and the time-frequency mapping relationship of the LP-SS signal are the same as those in Scheme 4 of Embodiment 1;
[0547] Option 3: M=1 for the LP-SS signal (e.g., predefined as OOK-1 or OOK-4), and M>1 for the LP-WUS signal;
[0548] The mapping relationship between the OOK Symbol and OFDM symbol of the LP-SS signal, and the time-frequency mapping relationship of the LP-SS signal are the same as those in Scheme 1 (Scheme 3 of OOK-4) in Example 1;
[0549] The mapping relationship between the OOK Symbol and OFDM symbol of the LP-WUS signal, and the time-frequency mapping relationship of the LP-WUS signal are the same as those in Scheme 4 of Embodiment 1;
