[0034] To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of this application, the low-power receiver related to this application will be described.

[0035] A low-power receiver, also known as a low-power wake-up radio (LP-WUR) or near-zero-power wake-up radio (AZP-WUR), is used in a terminal. The receiving end of the terminal comprises a first module and a second module, as shown in Figure 2. The first module is the main communication module, or master radio (MR), used for transmitting and receiving mobile communication data. The second module is the low-power receiver module (also called the low-power wake-up receiver module), used to receive the low-power wake-up signal (LP-WUS). In power-saving mode, the terminal activates the low-power receiver module to listen for LP-WUS while the main communication module is off or in sleep mode. When downlink data arrives, the network sends LP-WUS to the terminal. After the terminal detects LP-WUS through the low-power receiver module, it triggers the main communication module to turn on or be woken up after a series of checks. At this time, the low-power receiver module transitions from the active state to the off state. The low-power wake-up receiver module can be continuously or intermittently activated, and when activated, it can receive LP-WUS.

[0036] To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of this application, the LP-WUS related to this application will be described.

[0037] To reduce receiving activity in standby mode and effectively shut down the radio frequency (RF) and modem modules, thereby significantly reducing power consumption during communication reception, this can be achieved by introducing a near-zero power receiver into the terminal's receiver module. This near-zero power receiver eliminates the need for complex RF module signal detection (such as amplification, filtering, quantization, etc.) and modem signal processing, relying solely on passive matched filtering and low-power signal processing.

[0038] On the base station side, by triggering a wake-up signal on demand, a receiver with near-zero power can be activated to receive the activation notification, thereby triggering a series of processes within the terminal, such as turning on modules for radio frequency transceiver and baseband processing.

[0039] Such wake-up signals are typically simple on-off keying signals. Figure 3 shows a time-domain representation of such a signal, allowing the receiver to detect the wake-up notification through simple energy detection and subsequent sequence detection and recognition. Furthermore, while the terminal activates its low-power wake-up receiver to receive the wake-up signal, the main receiver module can enter sleep mode or shut down to maintain a low power consumption level, thus achieving power savings by receiving the wake-up signal.

[0040] The reception of the low-power wake-up signal can be applied to terminals in the RRC idle state (RRC_idle) or RRC inactive state (RRC_inactive), and can also be applied to terminals in the RRC connected state (RRC_connected), so as to achieve energy saving of the terminals.

[0041] Figure 3 shows the basic structure of LP-WUS. Among them, the Preamble field can be used for, including but not limited to, the detection of LP-WUS, synchronization, determination of the data rate, and carrying other messages, and the data field is used to carry the data part.

[0042] To facilitate the understanding of the embodiments of the present application, the RRM related to the present application is described.

[0043] In order to reduce the power consumption of RRM measurements in the RRC_idle or RRC_inactive state, proactive relaxation of RRM measurements on neighboring cells is introduced.

[0044] For example, proactive RRM relaxation measurements on neighboring cells can be performed when the following criteria are met:

[0045] 1. The criterion of "the terminal is not located at the cell edge".

[0046] 2. The criterion of "low mobility".

[0047] The degree of relaxation of the relaxation measurement is determined by the corresponding performance indicators.

[0048] In some scenarios, the condition for the LP-WUR to enter the LP-WUS listening mode is that the LP-WUR receiver can enter the LP-WUR listening mode when the measurement quality of the serving cell by the primary receiver is higher than threshold 1 (i.e., MR serving cell quality > threshold 1). After entering the LP-WUS listening mode, at this time, the primary receiver can stop continuous paging monitoring (legacy PO monitoring), the LP-WUR starts LP-WUS listening, and starts measuring the serving cell.

[0049] The condition for the LP-WUR to exit the LP-WUS listening mode is that the measurement quality of the serving cell by the LP-WUR is less than threshold 2 (i.e., LP-WUR serving cell quality < threshold 2). After exiting the LP-WUS listening mode, the primary receiver starts paging monitoring, and the LP-WUR can stop LP-WUS listening.

[0050] In some scenarios, the condition for the LP-WUR to enter the RRM measurement relaxation mode is that when the measurement quality of the primary receiver for the serving cell is higher than threshold 3 (i.e., MR serving cell quality > threshold 3), it enters the RRM measurement relaxation mode. After entering the RRM measurement relaxation mode, the primary receiver can stop measuring the serving cell, or perform measurements in the relaxation mode for the serving cell. If necessary, the primary receiver can also perform measurements in the relaxation mode for neighboring cells. The LP-WUR starts measuring the serving cell.

[0051] The condition for the LP-WUR to exit the RRM measurement relaxation mode is that the measurement quality of the LP-WUR for the serving cell is less than threshold 4 (LP-WUR serving cell quality < threshold 4). After exiting the RRM measurement relaxation mode, the primary receiver performs non-relaxed RRM measurements for the serving cell and neighboring cells (if necessary), and the LP-WUR can stop measuring the serving cell.

[0052] In summary, the method for entering / exit a certain mode is as follows: Use the measurement quantity of the same receiver for the same measurement object and compare it with different thresholds to determine whether to enter / exit a certain mode. That is, whether entering / exit the LP-WUS listening mode or entering / exit the RRM measurement relaxation mode, the measurement quantity of different receivers for the same measurement object is used in the determination, and this measurement quantity is compared with different thresholds to determine whether to enter / exit a certain mode.

[0053] Since the performance / characteristics of different receivers are different, the system sets relevant thresholds according to the receivers. Therefore, the ping-pong problem will be more serious during the entry / exit mode determination, affecting the system performance. And frequently entering / exit the LP-WUS listening mode or the RRM measurement relaxation mode may cause the paging signal to not be monitored in time or the serving cell measurement to not be performed in time, which will also reduce the power-saving effect of the LP-WUR. The specific problems are described as follows:

[0054] Scenario 1: When entering the LP-WUS listening mode, the judgment condition is MR serving cell quality > threshold 1; when exiting the LP-WUS listening mode, the judgment condition is LP-WUR serving cell quality < threshold 2; since the measurement of LP-WUR is not referenced when entering (or LP-WUR is turned off), it is possible that after MR serving cell quality > threshold 1 is satisfied and the LP-WUS listening mode is entered, and after the LP-WUR listening and measurement are started, the exit condition of the LP-WUR listening mode (i.e., LP-WUR serving cell quality < threshold 2) may be immediately satisfied, resulting in the immediate exit of the LP-WUS listening mode.

[0055] Scenario 2: When entering the RRM measurement relaxation mode, the judgment condition is MR serving cell quality > threshold 3; when exiting the RRM measurement relaxation mode, the judgment condition is LP-WUR serving cell quality < threshold 4; since the measurement of LP-WUR is not referenced when entering, it is possible that after MR serving cell quality > threshold 3 is satisfied and the RRM measurement relaxation mode is entered, and after the LP-WUR measurement is started, the exit condition of the RRM measurement relaxation mode (i.e., LP-WUR serving cell quality < threshold 4) may be immediately satisfied, resulting in the immediate exit of the RRM measurement relaxation mode.

[0056] Scenario 3: When exiting the LP-WUS listening mode, the judgment condition is LP-WUR serving cell quality < threshold 2; when entering the LP-WUS listening mode, the judgment condition is MR serving cell quality > threshold 1; since the measurement of the main receiver is not referenced when exiting (at this time the main receiver is turned off), it is possible that after LP-WUR serving cell quality < threshold 2 is satisfied and the LP-WUS listening mode is exited, and after the main receiver listening and measurement are started, the entry condition of the LP-WUS listening mode (i.e., MR serving cell quality > threshold 1) may be immediately satisfied, resulting in the immediate entry into the LP-WUS listening mode.

[0057] Scenario 4: When exiting the RRM measurement relaxation mode, the judgment condition is LP-WUR serving cell quality < threshold4; when entering the RRM measurement relaxation mode, the judgment condition is MR serving cell quality > threshold 3. Since there is no measurement reference to the primary receiver when exiting (the primary receiver is turned off at this time), it is possible to exit the RRM measurement relaxation mode when LP-WUR serving cell quality < threshold4 is satisfied, and immediately satisfy the entry condition of the RRM measurement relaxation mode (i.e., MR serving cell quality > threshold 3) after turning on the primary receiver measurement, resulting in immediate entry into the RRM measurement relaxation mode.

[0058] The following will combine the accompanying drawings and elaborate on xxx provided by the embodiments of the present application through some embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0059] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of a wireless communication method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 4, the method includes at least some of the following content:

[0060] S210, the terminal performs measurements on the serving cell through the primary receiver to obtain the first signal quality information, and performs measurements on the serving cell through the low-power receiver to obtain the second signal quality information;

[0061] S220, determine to enter or exit the target mode according to the first signal quality information and the second signal quality information, and the target mode includes at least one of the first listening mode and the RRM measurement relaxation mode.

[0062] Therefore, in the embodiments of the present application, the terminal can judge whether to enter or exit the target mode based on the measurement amount of the serving cell by the primary receiver and the measurement amount of the serving cell by the low-power receiver, which is beneficial to avoiding the ping-pong problem of mode switching and improving system performance.

[0063] In some embodiments, when the terminal enters the first listening mode, the primary receiver of the terminal is in the off state or the sleep state or the RRM measurement relaxation state, and the low-power receiver is used to listen for the wake-up signal. When exiting the first listening mode, the primary receiver is in the on state.

[0064] In some embodiments, when the terminal enters the RRM measurement relaxation mode, the primary receiver of the terminal is in the off state or the sleep state or the RRM measurement relaxation state, and the low-power receiver is in the on state and is used to listen for the wake-up signal. When exiting the RRM measurement relaxation mode, the primary receiver is in the on state.

[0065] In some embodiments, when the terminal master receiver is in an RRM measurement relaxed state, the terminal master receiver may not perform measurements on neighboring cells, or may perform relaxed measurements on neighboring cells.

[0066] In the embodiments of this application, the first monitoring mode is also called the LP-WUS monitoring mode, or it can be replaced with other names, which are not limited in this application.

[0067] In some embodiments, the master receiver performs measurements on the serving cell based on the primary synchronization signal (PSS), secondary synchronization signal (SSS), or synchronization signal block (SSB) to obtain first signal quality information.

[0068] In some embodiments, the LP-WUR performs measurements on the serving cell based on an existing reference signal (e.g., PSS, SSS, or SSB) to obtain second signal quality information. Alternatively, it may perform measurements on the serving cell based on other signals, such as the Low-Power Synchronization Signal (LP-SS), to obtain second signal quality information. This application does not limit the scope of the measurement.

[0069] Optionally, the signal quality information in the embodiments of this application may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following:

[0070] Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP), Reference Signal Receiving Quality (RSRQ), Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR), and Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI).

[0071] In some embodiments, determining whether to enter or exit the target mode based on the first signal quality information and the second signal quality information includes:

[0072] If the first signal quality information is greater than a first threshold and the second signal quality information is greater than a second threshold, then it is determined to enter the first monitoring mode; or

[0073] If the second signal quality information is less than the second threshold and the first signal quality information is less than the first threshold, then exit the first monitoring mode.

[0074] In this embodiment of the application, if the first signal quality information is greater than the first threshold and the second signal quality information is greater than the second threshold, the signal quality of the serving cell can be considered to be superior. In this case, entering the LP-WUS monitoring mode and measuring the serving cell through the low-power receiver is beneficial to reducing the power consumption of the terminal. Furthermore, entering the LP-WUS monitoring mode when the measurements of the serving cell by the main receiver and the low-power receiver are both greater than the corresponding thresholds is beneficial to avoid the ping-pong problem mentioned in the aforementioned situation 1.

[0075] In this embodiment of the application, if the first signal quality information is less than the first threshold and the second signal quality information is less than the second threshold, it can be considered that the signal quality of the serving cell is poor. In this case, exiting the LP-WUS monitoring mode is beneficial to avoid the ping-pong problem in the aforementioned situation 3.

[0076] Optionally, the first signal quality information being greater than a first threshold includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following:

[0077] The first signal quality information obtained by performing measurements on the serving cell N times consecutively by the main receiver is greater than the first threshold, where N is a positive integer;

[0091] The minimum value of the first signal quality information obtained by performing N consecutive measurements on the serving cell by the main receiver is less than the first threshold, where N is a positive integer;

[0092] Within the second time window, the average value of the first signal quality information obtained by performing N consecutive measurements on the serving cell through the main receiver is less than the first threshold, where N is a positive integer;

[0093] Within the second time window, the minimum value of the first signal quality information obtained by performing measurements on the serving cell N times consecutively through the main receiver is less than the first threshold, where N is a positive integer.

[0094] Optionally, the second signal quality information being less than a second threshold includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following:

[0095] The second signal quality information obtained by performing measurements on the serving cell M times consecutively using a low-power receiver is all less than the second threshold, where M is a positive integer;

[0096] The average value of the second signal quality information obtained by performing measurements on the serving cell M times consecutively using a low-power receiver is less than the second threshold, where M is a positive integer;

[0100] Optionally, in the embodiments of this application, the first signal quality information and the second signal quality information may be acquired at the same time point, or they may be acquired at different time points, and this application does not limit this.

[0101] For example, when determining whether to enter the first monitoring mode, the second signal quality information can be obtained if the first signal quality information is greater than the first threshold. As another example, when determining whether to exit the first monitoring mode, the first signal quality information can be obtained if the second signal quality information is less than the second threshold.

[0103] For example, when determining whether to enter the first monitoring mode, the determination that the second signal quality information is greater than the second threshold can be made if the first signal quality information is greater than the first threshold. Specifically, if the first signal quality information is greater than the first threshold, the terminal can further acquire the second signal quality information, determine whether the second signal quality information is greater than the second threshold, and then determine whether to enter the first monitoring mode.

[0104] In one specific embodiment, when the first signal quality information is greater than a first threshold, the terminal opens a first time window, acquires second signal quality information within the first time window, and determines whether to enter the first monitoring mode based on the second signal quality information acquired within the first time window. For example, if the second signal quality information acquired within the first time window is greater than a second threshold, it is determined that the terminal will enter the first monitoring mode.

[0105] Optionally, the determination that the first signal quality information is less than the first threshold and the second signal quality information is less than the second threshold can be made at the same time point, or at different time points; this application does not limit this.

[0106] For example, when determining whether to exit the first monitoring mode, the determination that the first signal quality information is less than the first threshold can be made if the second signal quality information is less than the second threshold. Specifically, the terminal can, if the second signal quality information is less than the second threshold, further acquire the first signal quality information and determine whether the first signal quality information is less than the first threshold, thereby determining whether to exit the first monitoring mode.

[0107] In some embodiments, if the second signal quality information is less than a second threshold, the terminal opens a second time window, acquires the first signal quality information within the second time window, and determines whether to exit the first monitoring mode based on the first signal quality information acquired within the second time window. For example, if the first signal quality information acquired within the second time window is less than a first threshold, it is determined to exit the first monitoring mode.

[0108] Optionally, the first threshold can be configured by the network-side device or predefined.

[0112] If the second signal quality information is less than the second threshold and the first signal quality information is not obtained, it is determined not to exit the first monitoring mode.

[0113] If the first signal quality information is greater than the first threshold, but the second signal quality information is not obtained, the terminal does not enter the first listening mode, which helps to avoid the ping-pong problem in the aforementioned situation 1.

[0114] If the second signal quality information is less than the second threshold, but the first signal quality information is not obtained, the terminal will not enter the first listening mode, which helps to avoid the ping-pong problem in the aforementioned situation 3.

[0115] Optionally, the failure to obtain the second signal quality information may include, but is not limited to: the terminal's low-power receiver being turned off and no measurement being performed on the serving cell.

[0116] Optionally, the failure to obtain the first signal quality information may include, but is not limited to: the terminal's main receiver being in a turned-off or sleep state, and not performing measurements on the serving cell.

[0117] In some embodiments of this application, determining whether to enter or exit the target mode based on the first signal quality information and the second signal quality information includes:

[0118] If the first signal quality information is greater than the first threshold and the low-power receiver is in the off state, the terminal determines not to enter the first monitoring mode, continues to perform measurements on the serving cell through the main receiver, and turns on the low-power receiver to perform measurements on the serving cell within the first time window to obtain the second signal quality information.

[0119] If the second signal quality information acquired within the first time window is greater than the second threshold, then it is determined to enter the first monitoring mode; or

[0120] If the first signal quality information obtained within the first time window is greater than the first threshold, and the second signal quality information obtained within the first time window is greater than the second threshold, then it is determined to enter the first monitoring mode.

[0121] That is, in the embodiments of this application, when determining whether to enter the LP-WUS monitoring mode, the terminal first determines whether the first signal quality information is greater than the first threshold. If the first signal quality information is greater than the first threshold, it further determines whether the second signal quality information is greater than the second threshold. If the low-power receiver is in the off state and the second signal quality information is not obtained, the terminal does not enter the LP-WUS monitoring mode and continues to perform measurements on the serving cell through the main receiver. Optionally, it can also perform measurements on neighboring cells through the main receiver and turn on the low-power receiver to perform measurements on the serving cell and obtain the second signal quality information.

[0122] Optionally, the terminal can determine whether to enter the first monitoring mode based on the second signal quality information and the second threshold obtained within the first time window. For example, if the second signal quality information obtained within the first time window is greater than the second threshold, it determines to enter the first monitoring mode.

[0123] Optionally, the terminal can also determine whether to enter the first monitoring mode based on the first signal quality information and the second signal quality information acquired within the first time window, combined with the first threshold and the second threshold. For example, if the first signal quality information acquired within the first time window is greater than the first threshold, and the second signal quality information acquired within the first time window is greater than the second threshold, then the terminal determines to enter the first monitoring mode.

[0124] In some embodiments of this application, determining whether to enter or exit the target mode based on the first signal quality information and the second signal quality information includes:

[0125] If the second signal quality information is less than the second threshold and the main receiver of the terminal is in the off state, the terminal determines not to exit the first monitoring mode, continues to perform measurements on the serving cell through the low-power receiver, and turns on the main receiver to perform measurements on the serving cell to obtain the first signal quality information within the second time window.

[0126] If the first signal quality information acquired within the second time window is less than the first threshold, determine to exit the first monitoring mode; or

[0127] If the second signal quality information obtained within the second time window is less than the second threshold, and the first signal quality information obtained within the second time window is less than the first threshold, then it is determined to exit the first monitoring mode.

[0128] That is, in the embodiments of this application, when determining whether to exit the LP-WUS monitoring mode, the terminal first determines whether the second signal quality information is less than the second threshold. If the second signal quality information is less than the second threshold, it further determines whether the first signal quality information is less than the first threshold. If the main receiver is in the off state and the first signal quality information is not obtained, the terminal does not exit the LP-WUS monitoring mode, but continues to perform measurements on the serving cell through the low-power receiver, and turns on the main receiver to perform measurements on the serving cell through the main receiver to obtain the first signal quality information.

[0129] Optionally, the terminal can determine whether to exit the first monitoring mode based on the first signal quality information and the first threshold obtained within the second time window. For example, if the first signal quality information obtained within the second time window is less than the first threshold, it determines to exit the first monitoring mode.

[0130] Optionally, the terminal can also determine whether to exit the first monitoring mode based on the second signal quality information and the first signal quality information obtained within the second time window, combined with the second threshold and the first threshold. For example, if the second signal quality information obtained within the second time window is less than the second threshold, and the first signal quality information obtained within the second time window is less than the first threshold, then it is determined to exit the first monitoring mode.

[0131] In some embodiments of this application, determining whether to enter or exit the target mode based on the first signal quality information and the second signal quality information includes:

[0132] If the first signal quality information is greater than the third threshold and the second signal quality information is greater than the fourth threshold, then it is determined to enter the RRM measurement relaxation mode.

[0133] If the first signal quality information is less than the third threshold and the second signal quality information is less than the fourth threshold, then exit the RRM measurement relaxation mode.

[0134] In this embodiment of the application, if the first signal quality information is greater than the third threshold and the second signal quality information is greater than the fourth threshold, the signal quality of the serving cell can be considered to be superior. In this case, the RRM measurement relaxation mode is entered, and the serving cell is measured by the low-power receiver, which helps to reduce the power consumption of the terminal. Furthermore, when the measurement of the serving cell by both the main receiver and the low-power receiver is greater than the corresponding threshold, the RRM measurement relaxation mode is entered, which helps to avoid the ping-pong problem in the aforementioned situation 2.

[0135] In this embodiment of the application, if the first signal quality information is less than the third threshold and the second signal quality information is less than the fourth threshold, it can be considered that the signal quality of the serving cell is poor. In this case, exiting the RRM measurement relaxation mode is beneficial to avoid the ping-pong problem in the aforementioned situation 4.
