[0194] Before introducing the technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure, the relevant technologies will be introduced first.
[0195] To facilitate understanding and description, the relevant terms used in the related technologies are explained below.
[0196] First, the Synchronization Signal / PBCH Block (SSB) and the Master Information Block (MIB).
[0197] In the current New Radio (NR) protocol, when a terminal device is first powered on, it first performs basic time-domain, frequency-domain, and spatial-domain synchronization based on the Service Bus (SSB). Simultaneously, the terminal device also receives basic system information (generally referred to as SIB1) based on the SSB. Based on this information, the terminal device can obtain basic information about the current serving frequency (or serving carrier) and further initiate random access and data transmission.
[0198] The terminal device first scans the frequency points that the SSB may transmit based on the synchronization grid (that is, the frequency domain position of the synchronization signal block in the synchronization grid) to blindly detect the SSB beam transmitted by the base station.
[0199] Table 1 is a schematic diagram of the frequency domain position of the SSB. As shown in Table 1, the frequency domain position of the SSB is defined as the frequency position of the synchronization signal block (SS block reference frequency position, SSREF).
[0200] Table 1
[0201] In addition, the SSB also includes the following configuration details in the relevant technologies:
[0202] The MIB is carried on the Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH). The subcarrier position of the DM-RS on the PBCH is determined by the parameter v, specifically, v = cell physical identifier mod 4; where mod is the modulo operation.
[0203] The DM-RS sequence is generated using a predefined protocol, and the specific generation formula is as follows:
[0204] Among them, C init This indicates the generated DM-RS sequence. Indicates an SSB index. This represents the physical identifier (ID) of the cell, and mod represents the modulo operation.
[0205] The SSB includes the PBCH payload. The PBCH payload is a sequence X = [x1, x2, ... xn], where the sequence length and content are configured by the network device and / or are predefined values.
[0206] The SSB includes the MIB, which is carried on the PBCH.
[0207] Table 2 illustrates the fields included in the MIB of the SSB. As shown in Table 2, the cellBarred field indicates whether the cell is allowed to access. If it indicates Barred, it means that the cell associated with the SSB is not allowed to access; if it indicates notBarred, it means that the cell associated with the SSB is allowed to access. The SSB SubcarrierOffset field indicates the offset of the SSB frequency domain start point from the CRB start point. The PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 field indicates the frequency domain position of the CORESET corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set (the CORESET corresponding to CSS0, CORESET0), and / or the configuration of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set (CSS0).

[0210] After receiving an SSB, the terminal device obtains the ssb-SubcarrierOffset field. Based on this field, the terminal can determine the initial frequency domain position of the received SSB and its offset from the Common Resource Block (CRB), indicated by the subcarrier spacing of the SSB.
[0211] Referring to Figure 1, which is a schematic diagram of the offset between the initial frequency domain position of the SSB and the initial frequency domain position of its corresponding CRB in the related art, Figure 1 is a possible example, in which... Kssb is the frequency domain start position of the CRB where the frequency domain start position of the SSB (or the first / initial RE of the SSB) is located, and Kssb is the interval between the frequency domain start position of the CRB and the frequency domain start position of the SSB.
[0212] Meanwhile, for the FR1 scenario (serving frequency band between 410MHz and 7125MHz), the possible values of Kssb are 0-23 (for scenarios where the SCS of the SSB is 15kHz and the SCS of the CRB is 30kHz, the maximum offset is 23 SSB SCS). For this scenario, the Kssb indication requires 5 bits. The high 1 bit (MSB 1 bit) is carried in the PBCH payload, and the low 4 bits (LSB 4 bits) are carried in the SSB-subcarrierOffset field in the MIB. For the FR2 scenario (serving frequency band between 24250MHz and 52600MHz), Kssb can take values between 0 and 11, therefore only 4 bits are needed, carried in the SSB-subcarrierOffset field.
[0213] Understandably, some values in the 5 / 4 bit indication information remain unused. In related technologies, these values are referred to as reserved index values. Specifically:
[0214] In the FR1 scenario, Kssb = 30 (SSB-subcarrierOffset is 14, PBCH payload bits are 1);
[0215] In the FR2 scenario, Kssb = 14 (SSB-subcarrierOffset is 14).
[0216] Additionally, certain Kssb values can also be used to indicate that the SSB received by the terminal device is not associated with SIB1, or in other words, the terminal device considers the cell unsuitable for initial access. Specifically:
[0217] In the FR1 scenario, Kssb = 31 (SSB-subcarrierOffset is 15, PBCH payload bits are 1);
[0218] In the FR2 scenario, Kssb = 15 (SSB-subcarrierOffset is 15).
[0219] Additionally, in some cases, a specific Kssb value (and PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 value) can be used to indicate the frequency domain offset between an SSB not associated with SIB1 and an SSB associated with SIB1. Here, PDCCH is an abbreviation for Physical Downlink Control Channel.
[0220] In the FR1 scenario, when Kssb = 24-29 (SSB-subcarrierOffset is 8-13, PBCH payload bit is 1), it indicates that the SSB is not associated with SIB1 and has a fixed frequency domain offset from the SSB associated with SIB1.
[0221] In the FR2 scenario, when Kssb = 12-13 (SSB-subcarrierOffset takes the value 12-13), it indicates that the SSB is not associated with SIB1 and has a fixed frequency domain offset from the SSB associated with SIB1.
[0222] For each specific Kssb value, PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 (a total of 8 bits) can be used to indicate 256 possible Global Synchronization Channel Number (GSCN) offsets, as shown in Tables 3 and 4.
[0223] Table 3 illustrates the GSCN offset for each specific Kssb value in the FR1 scenario, indicated by controlResourceSetZero (first 4 bits) and searchSpaceZero (last 4 bits) in PDCCH-ConfigSIB1.
[0224] Table 3
[0225] Table 4 illustrates the GSCN offset for each specific Kssb value in the FR2 scenario, indicated by controlResourceSetZero (first 4 bits) and searchSpaceZero (last 4 bits) in PDCCH-ConfigSIB1.
[0226] Table 4
[0227] Based on the combined values of Kssb and PDCCH-ConfigSIB1, the terminal can directly find the frequency domain location of the SSB associated with SIB1 and quickly obtain SIB1.
[0228] Third, the CORESET (abbreviated as CORESET0) resources corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set and the temporal resource indicators of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set (abbreviated as CSS0).
[0229] After receiving the SSB, the terminal device will further obtain the PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 field. The high 4 bits of this field indicate the frequency domain offset of the CORESET corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set from the frequency domain start position of the CRB where the SSB's frequency domain start position is located. Specifically, the high 4 bits indicate 16 possible values.
[0230] Referring to Figure 2, which is a schematic diagram of the frequency domain offset of the CORESET corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set from the frequency domain starting position of the CRB containing the SSB, in the related technology, Offset (RBs) represents the frequency domain offset of the CORESET corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set from the frequency domain starting position of the CRB containing the SSB. RBs represent Resource Blocks.
[0231] Table 5 illustrates the frequency domain offset of the CORESET corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set from the frequency domain starting position of the CRB, where the SSB's frequency domain starting position is located.
[0232] Table 5
[0233] The last column of Table 5 shows the offset of the frequency domain start position of the CRB corresponding to the SSB start position from the frequency domain start position of the CORESET (CORESET0) corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set, with the RB of the CRB as the granularity indicator.
[0234] Columns 2, 3, and 4 of Table 5 indicate the multiplexing mode of CORESET0 and SSB, the number of RBs occupied by CORESET0 in the frequency domain, and the number of OFDM symbols occupied by CORESET0 in the time domain, respectively. Based on these parameters, the terminal device can determine the time-frequency position of CORESET0.
[0235] Meanwhile, there are some reserved index values in Table 5, which, according to relevant technical understanding, have no actual physical meaning.
[0236] Similarly, the last 4 bits of PDCCH-configSIB1 indicate the timing of the temporal detection corresponding to Type0-PDCCH CSS set (CSS0). The lower 4 bits indicate a total of 16 possible values.
[0237] Table 6 illustrates the temporal parameter configuration of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set (CSS0). As shown in Table 6, columns 2, 3, 4, and 5 indicate the temporal parameter configuration of CSS0, where O, M, and i are used to calculate the positions of subframes and time slots. This indicates the number of OFDM symbols occupied by CORESET0 in the time domain.
[0238] Table 6
[0239] After obtaining the time-frequency location of the CORESET corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set, the terminal device will detect and schedule the SIB1 PDCCH on the corresponding resource and further receive SIB1 information. In related technologies, SIB1 is generally broadcast periodically.
[0240] Similar to the CORESET (CORESET0) indication corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set, the temporal indication table of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set (CSS0) also contains some reserved index values, which, according to relevant technical understanding, have no actual physical meaning.
[0241] Fourth, Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) resource configuration.
[0242] In related technologies, the configuration of the PRACH signal mainly includes:
[0243] 1) Basic PRACH configuration.
[0244] Specifically, there are two configuration methods:
[0245] Exclusive configuration.
[0246] In this configuration, the PRACH is configured as a dedicated PRACH resource for the current function (e.g., triggering SIB1). This includes independent RACH-ConfigGeneric, ssb-perRACH-Occasion fields, etc.
[0247] Shared configuration.
[0248] In this configuration, the PRACH for the current function shares a large set of PRACH resources with PRACHs for other functions. The dedicated PRACH resources for the current function are determined within the shared PRACH resources using parameters such as totalNumberOfRA-Preambles, ra-ssb-OccasionMaskIndex, and ra-AssociationPeriodIndex.
[0249] 2) Available PRACH resources.
[0250] Available PRACH resources need to be determined based on the following:
[0251] Time Division Duplex (TDD) frame structure configuration. This information is indicated by the field tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon. PRACH can only be transmitted in the uplink time slot.
[0252] SSB configuration includes ssb-PeriodicityServingCell, ssb-PositionsInBurst, channel information, and the channelAccessMode parameter. Only uplink resources that are a certain interval from the SSB burst (consisting of multiple SSBs) can be used to transmit PRACH. The specific interval value is determined by the channel information.
[0253] 3) PRACH resource mapping to SSB.
[0254] Specifically, it is determined by the parameters ssb-perRACH-Occasion and CB-PreamblesPerSSB.
[0255] Fifth, Network Energy Saving (NES) triggers the SIB1 mechanism on demand.
[0256] Currently, the mechanism for triggering SIB1 on demand in NES primarily aims to conserve network energy by not sending SIB1 under normal circumstances in NES cell scenarios. When a terminal device requires it, it can be enabled to send SIB1 in the NES cell by sending an uplink trigger signal (PRACH signal). Specifically, the configuration information required to send the uplink trigger signal may be pre-obtained by the terminal device (from another cell).
[0257] Referring to Figure 3, which is a schematic diagram of the terminal sending an uplink trigger signal in the related technology, as shown in Figure 3, the terminal device obtains the configuration information required to send the uplink trigger signal in advance. When the terminal device needs it, it can enable the network device to send SIB1 in the network energy-saving cell by sending the uplink trigger signal (PRACH signal).
[0258] Currently, certain fields in the PBCH of the SSB are used to indicate to the terminal device that the SIB1 of the cell associated with that SSB is triggered on demand. When indicative of on-demand SIB1 triggering based on the PBCH of the SSB, several possible branches exist:
[0259] Set the ssb-SubcarrierOffset(Kssb) value in the MIB to a reserved value, or set it to a value that indicates that the SSB is not associated with SIB1;
[0260] Set the first 4 bits and / or the last 4 bits of PDCCH-configSIB1 in the MIB to reserved values;
[0261] Set the cellBarred value in the MIB to Barred.
[0262] However, all of the above solutions have some problems, specifically:
[0263] When using the SSB-subcarrierOffset(Kssb) value as an indicator, applying a reserved value / unassociated SIB1 value to indicate that SIB1 is triggered on demand will render the original function of determining the CRB frequency domain grid impossible.
[0264] The reservation value of the first 4 bits and / or the last 4 bits of PDCCH-configSIB1 indicates that SIB1 will be triggered on demand, which will make it impossible to realize the original function of determining the CORESET frequency domain resource or time domain location corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set.
[0265] Setting the cellBarred value in the MIB to Barred will cause the terminal device to not receive SIB1, making it believe that the cell is unaccessible. This will also affect the access performance of some terminal devices.
[0266] In summary, in related technologies, some fields in the PBCH of the SSB are set to special values to indicate whether SIB1 is non-broadcast or on-demand triggered. However, while indicating whether SIB1 is non-broadcast or on-demand triggered, the original configuration functions related to these fields are affected.
[0267] Therefore, how to enable SIB1 of the associated cell to be triggered on demand based on SSB without affecting the existing SSB function has become an urgent technical problem to be solved.
[0268] Based on this, in this embodiment of the disclosure, configuration information is received on the first cell; based on the configuration information, a first configuration of the second cell is determined, wherein the SIB1 of the second cell is non-broadcast information.
[0269] Referring to Figure 4, which is a schematic flowchart of the information processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, applied to a terminal, the method includes steps 401 to 402:
[0270] Step 401: Receive configuration information on the first cell.
[0271] Here, the SIB1 of the first cell is broadcast information. That is, the SIB1 of the first cell is broadcast, not sent on demand. In other words, the first cell is a non-energy-efficient cell.
[0272] Here, the network device can send the configuration information to the terminal on a non-energy-saving cell, that is, the terminal receives the configuration information on a non-energy-saving cell.
[0273] Step 402: Determine the first configuration of the second cell based on the configuration information, wherein the SIB1 of the second cell is non-broadcast information or triggered on demand.
[0274] It is understandable that the SIB1 of the second cell associated with the first SSB is non-broadcast information, which can be understood as the SIB1 of the second cell being triggered on demand. In other words, the second cell is an energy-saving cell, or it can be described as a cell where the SIB1 is non-broadcast information, or it can be described as a cell where the SIB1 is triggered on demand, i.e., an On-Demand-SIB1 cell, abbreviated as OD-SIB1 cell.
[0275] In some embodiments, determining the first configuration of the second cell based on the configuration information includes:
[0276] The first configuration of the second cell is determined based on the configuration information.
[0277] In some embodiments, determining the first configuration of the second cell based on the configuration information includes:
[0278] Receive a first SSB, the first field of which is used to indicate whether the SIB1 of the second cell associated with the first SSB is a non-broadcast message or triggered on demand;
[0279] Based on the configuration information and the first SSB, the first configuration of the second cell is determined.
[0280] Here, the configuration information received in advance may indicate the first configuration of the second cell.
[0281] Specifically, this can include the following methods:
[0282] In the first method, the configuration information includes first indication information, which is used to indicate the CRB configuration of the second cell; the first configuration is a CRB configuration.
[0283] In this approach, determining the first configuration of the second cell based on the configuration information includes: determining the CRB configuration of the second cell based on the first indication information.
[0284] In this approach, determining the first configuration of the second cell based on the configuration information and the first SSB includes: determining the CRB configuration of the second cell based on the first indication information and the first SSB.
[0285] Based on this, in some embodiments, the configuration information includes first indication information, which is used to indicate the CRB configuration of the second cell; the first configuration is a CRB configuration.
[0286] Determining the first configuration of the second cell based on the configuration information includes: determining the CRB configuration of the second cell based on the first indication information.
[0287] Based on this, in some embodiments, the configuration information includes first indication information, which is used to indicate the CRB configuration of the second cell; the first configuration is a CRB configuration.
[0288] Determining the first configuration of the second cell based on the configuration information and the first SSB includes: determining the CRB configuration of the second cell based on the first indication information and the first SSB.
[0289] In some embodiments, the first indication information includes at least one of the following:
[0290] The ssb-SubcarrierOffset field and / or the first bit in the PBCH payload;
[0291] The offset between the frequency domain starting position of the first SSB and the frequency domain starting position of the CRB where the frequency domain starting position of the first SSB is located.
[0292] The frequency domain location of PointA in the second cell;
[0293] Subcarrier spacing of the second cell's CRB;
[0294] The physical identifier of the second residential area.
[0295] In some embodiments, the first indication information is the cell physical identifier of the second cell, and the method further includes:
[0296] Based on the cell physical identifier, the first bit in the ssb-SubcarrierOffset field and / or PBCH payload of the second cell is determined to be the first value.
[0297] or,
[0298] Based on the cell physical identifier, the offset value between the frequency domain start position of the first SSB and the frequency domain start position of the CRB where the frequency domain start position of the first SSB is located is determined to be a first value.
[0299] It is understood that the first indication information includes the ssb-SubcarrierOffset field and / or the first bit in the PBCH payload, which can be understood as the configuration information indicating the value of the ssb-SubcarrierOffset field and / or the first bit in the PBCH payload, that is, the configuration information indicating the actual Kssb value.
[0300] It is understood that the first indication information includes the offset value between the frequency domain start position of the first SSB and the frequency domain start position of the CRB where the frequency domain start position of the first SSB is located, which can be understood as the configuration information indicating the actual Kssb value.
[0301] It is understood that the first indication information includes the frequency domain location of the second cell Point A, which can be understood as the configuration information indicating the absolute frequency location of Point A. This absolute frequency location is the frequency domain location of subcarrier 0 of CRB0, that is, the configuration information indicates the actual CRB configuration.
[0302] It is understood that the first indication information includes the subcarrier spacing of the second cell's CRB, which can be interpreted as the configuration information indicating the actual CRB configuration.
[0303] It is understood that the first indication information includes the cell physical identifier of the second cell, which can be understood as the configuration information implicitly indicating the value of the first bit in the actual ssb-SubcarrierOffset field and / or PBCH payload, or implicitly indicating the value of the offset between the actual frequency domain start position of the first SSB and the frequency domain start position of the CRB where the frequency domain start position of the first SSB is located. That is, the configuration information indicates the actual Kssb value.
[0304] As one possible implementation, if the first indication information includes the ssb-SubcarrierOffset field and / or the first bit in the PBCH payload, the terminal determines the CRB configuration of the second cell based on the first indication information and the first SSB.
[0305] Specifically, it may include: the terminal scanning the frequency points that the first SSB may transmit according to the synchronization grid (that is, the frequency domain position of the synchronization signal block in the synchronization grid), detecting the first SSB, and obtaining the frequency domain start position of the first SSB.
[0306] Based on the ssb-SubcarrierOffset field indicated by the first indication information in the configuration information and / or the first bit in the PBCH payload, the Kssb value is obtained. The Kssb value represents the offset between the frequency domain start position of the first SSB and the frequency domain start position of the CRB where the frequency domain start position of the first SSB is located. Finally, based on the frequency domain start position of the first SSB and the Kssb value, the frequency domain start position of the CRB where the frequency domain start position of the first SSB is located is determined.
[0307] Here, in the FR1 scenario (service frequency band between 410MHz and 7125MHz), the Kssb value is obtained based on the ssb-SubcarrierOffset field indicated by the first indication information in the configuration information and the first bit in the PBCH payload. For example, the ssb-SubcarrierOffset field indicated by the first indication information occupies 4 bits, and these 4 bits are used as the lower four bits, while the first bit in the PBCH payload is used as the highest bit to obtain the Kssb value.
[0308] Here, in the FR2 scenario (service frequency band between 24250MHz and 52600MHz), the Kssb value is obtained according to the ssb-SubcarrierOffset field indicated by the first indication information in the configuration information. For example, the ssb-SubcarrierOffset field indicated by the first indication information occupies 4 bits, and the value corresponding to these 4 bits is the Kssb value.
[0309] As one possible implementation, if the first indication information includes an offset value between the frequency domain start position of the first SSB and the frequency domain start position of the CRB where the frequency domain start position of the first SSB is located, then the terminal determines the CRB configuration of the second cell based on the first indication information and the first SSB.
[0310] Specifically, it may include: the terminal scanning the frequency points that the first SSB may transmit according to the synchronization grid (that is, the frequency domain position of the synchronization signal block in the synchronization grid), detecting the first SSB, and obtaining the frequency domain start position of the first SSB.
[0311] Based on the frequency domain start position of the first SSB and the offset between the frequency domain start position of the first SSB and the frequency domain start position of the CRB where the frequency domain start position of the first SSB is located, the frequency domain start position of the CRB where the frequency domain start position of the first SSB is located is determined.
[0312] As one possible implementation, if the first indication information includes the frequency domain location of the second cell Point A, then the terminal determines the CRB configuration of the second cell based on the first indication information.
[0313] Here, the CRB grid is defined with Point A as the starting point, or in other words, the frequency corresponding to Point A is the frequency domain position of subcarrier 0 of CRB0 (i.e., the frequency domain position of the first subcarrier of the first CRB).
[0314] In other words, the frequency domain position of the second cell Point A can directly indicate the absolute frequency domain configuration of CRB. That is, the frequency domain position of the second cell Point A indicates the absolute frequency position of Point A, which is the frequency domain position of subcarrier 0 of CRB0, and the unit of the absolute frequency value is ARFCN.
[0315] As one possible implementation, if the first indication information includes the frequency domain location of the second cell Point A and the subcarrier spacing of the second cell CRB, then the terminal determines the CRB configuration of the second cell based on the first indication information.
[0316] Specifically, based on the frequency domain position of PointA in the second cell and the subcarrier spacing of the second cell's CRB, the frequency domain position of PointA under the current subcarrier spacing of the second cell's CRB can be determined, that is, the frequency domain position of subcarrier 0 of CRB0 under the current subcarrier spacing of the second cell's CRB.
[0317] As one possible implementation, if the first indication information includes the cell physical identifier of the second cell, the terminal determines the CRB configuration of the second cell based on the configuration information and the first SSB.
[0318] Specifically, it may include: the terminal scanning the frequency points that the first SSB may transmit according to the synchronization grid (that is, the frequency domain position of the synchronization signal block in the synchronization grid), detecting the first SSB, and obtaining the frequency domain start position of the first SSB.
[0319] Based on the cell physical identifier, the first bit in the ssb-SubcarrierOffset field and / or PBCH payload of the second cell is determined as a first value, which is the Kssb value. Alternatively, based on the cell physical identifier, the offset between the frequency domain start position of the first SSB and the frequency domain start position of the CRB containing the frequency domain start position of the first SSB is determined as a first value, which is the Kssb value, where the Kssb value represents the offset between the frequency domain start position of the first SSB and the frequency domain start position of the CRB containing the frequency domain start position of the first SSB. Finally, based on the frequency domain start position of the first SSB and the Kssb value, the frequency domain start position of the CRB containing the frequency domain start position of the first SSB is determined.
[0320] That is, the first indication information can indicate the cell physical identifier of the energy-saving cell, i.e., the second cell. In other words, when the cell physical identifier of the energy-saving cell, i.e., the second cell, exists in the configuration information, it can implicitly indicate that the Kssb value of the energy-saving cell, i.e., the second cell, is predefined or that the frequency domain position of the CRB is predefined.
[0321] For example, assuming that the first indication information includes the cell physical identifier of the second cell, the value of Kssb can be implicitly indicated as a predefined value, such as 0, which means that there is no offset between the frequency domain start position of the first SSB associated with the second cell and the frequency domain start position of the CRB in which it is located; or, it means that the frequency domain start position of the CRB is the same as the frequency domain start position of the CRB in which the first SSB is located.
[0322] In practical applications, the first field of the first SSB can indicate whether the SIB1 of the second cell associated with the first SSB is a non-broadcast message or triggered on demand.
[0323] Based on this, in some embodiments, the first field is the ssb-SubcarrierOffset field and / or the first bit in the PBCH payload.
[0324] Therefore, in some embodiments, the first field is a second value.
[0325] It is understandable that the first field is the second value, which can be understood as the first bit in the ssb-SubcarrierOffset field and / or PBCH payload being the second value, that is, the Kssb value of the first SSB of the energy-saving cell, i.e. the second cell, being the second value.
[0326] Here, in the FR1 scenario (service frequency band between 410MHz and 7125MHz), the Kssb value can be obtained based on the ssb-SubcarrierOffset field and the first bit in the PBCH payload. For example, the ssb-SubcarrierOffset field occupies 4 bits, which are used as the lower four bits, and the first bit in the PBCH payload is used as the highest bit to obtain the Kssb value.
[0327] For example, if the first SSB of the energy-saving cell, i.e. the second cell, is in the FR1 band, then the second value can be 30 or 31 (indicated by 1 in the PBCH load, and 14 / 15 in the SSB-subcarrierOffset).
[0328] Here, in the FR2 scenario (service frequency band between 24250MHz and 52600MHz), the Kssb value can be obtained from the ssb-SubcarrierOffset field. For example, the ssb-SubcarrierOffset field occupies 4 bits, and the value corresponding to these 4 bits is the Kssb value.
[0329] For example, if the first SSB of the energy-saving cell, i.e. the second cell, is in the FR2 band, the second value can be 14 or 15 (SSB-subcarrierOffset indicates 14 / 15).
[0330] It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the disclosure, by setting the first field of the first SSB to the second value, and by indicating in advance in the configuration information the actual CRB configuration or the actual field value related to the CRB configuration of the terminal, the terminal can know that the SIB1 of the cell associated with the first SSB is triggered on demand through the first field in the first SSB, while still correctly knowing the CRB configuration information. That is, the original CRB configuration acquisition process is not affected.
[0331] In practical applications, to improve the adaptability of terminal access to cells—that is, to enable the terminal to choose to access either energy-efficient or non-energy-efficient cells—in this embodiment of the disclosure, the network device can indicate that the second cell associated with the first SSB is an energy-efficient cell by setting the first field of the first SSB to a second value. Then, it can also use the PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 field to indicate the offset between the frequency domain position of the first SSB of the energy-efficient cell and the frequency domain position of the SSB of the non-energy-efficient cell. Thus, after the terminal learns that the second cell associated with the first SSB is an energy-efficient cell, it can also determine the frequency domain position of the SSB of the non-energy-efficient cell based on the frequency domain position of the first SSB and the offset between the frequency domain positions of the first SSB of the energy-efficient cell and the SSB of the non-energy-efficient cell indicated by the PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 field. This allows the terminal to obtain the SIB1 of the non-energy-efficient cell and quickly learn the basic information of the non-energy-efficient cells near the energy-efficient cell for access and data transmission.
[0332] Based on this, in some embodiments, the first indication information further includes:
[0333] The PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 field.
[0334] Based on this, in some embodiments, the method further includes:
[0335] Based on the PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 field, determine the frequency domain location of the SSB of the non-energy-saving cell associated with the first SSB.
[0336] In other words, the frequency domain location of the SSB of a non-energy-saving cell can be indicated by the value of the PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 field. The SSB of a non-energy-saving cell can also be described as the SSB corresponding to the cell whose SSB1 is broadcast.
[0337] As one possible implementation, the PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 field can indicate the difference between the frequency domain start position of the first SSB of the current energy-saving cell (i.e., the second cell) and the frequency domain start position of the SSB of the non-energy-saving cell. This difference can be used... For granularity representation, where, This indicates the GSCN offset between the frequency domain start position of the first SSB of the energy-saving cell (i.e., the second cell) and the frequency domain start position of the SSB of the non-energy-saving cell.
[0338] Here, one value of the PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 field can correspond to a GSCN offset, as follows:
[0339] In one possibility, the 256 possible values of PDCCH-configSIB1 correspond to 256 offset values in the range {-128,-127,…,-1,1,…,126,127}.
[0340] In one possibility, the 256 possible values of PDCCH-configSIB1 correspond to 256 offset values in the range {-127,-126,…,-1,1,…,127,128}.
[0341] In one possibility, the 256 possible values of PDCCH-configSIB1 correspond to 256 offset values in the range {127,126,…,1,-1,…,-127,-128}.
[0342] In one possibility, the 256 possible values of PDCCH-configSIB1 correspond to 256 offset values in the range {128,127,…,1,-1,…,-126,-127}.
[0343] In one possibility, the 256 possible values of PDCCH-configSIB1 correspond to 256 offset values in the range {-1,-2,…,-256}.
[0344] In one possibility, the 256 possible values of PDCCH-configSIB1 correspond to 256 offset values in the range {1,2,…,256}.
[0345] As one possible implementation, if the first indication information indicates the PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 field, then determining the frequency domain location of the SSB of the non-energy-saving cell associated with the first SSB based on the PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 field may include:
[0346] The terminal detects the first SSB by scanning the frequency points that the first SSB may send based on the synchronization grid (that is, the frequency domain position of the synchronization signal block in the synchronization grid), and obtains the frequency domain start position of the first SSB.
[0347] Based on the difference between the frequency domain start position of the first SSB of the current energy-saving cell (i.e., the second cell) and the frequency domain start position of the SSB of the non-energy-saving cell, as indicated by the PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 field, and the frequency domain start position of the first SSB, the frequency domain start position of the SSB of the non-energy-saving cell is determined, thereby obtaining the SIB1 of the non-energy-saving cell.
[0348] In the second method, the configuration information includes second indication information, which is used to indicate the CORESET corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set of the second cell, and / or the Type0-PDCCH CSS set configuration; the first configuration is the CORESET corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set, and / or the Type0-PDCCH CSS set configuration.
[0349] In this manner, determining the first configuration of the second cell based on the configuration information includes: determining the CORESET corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set of the second cell, and / or the Type0-PDCCH CSS set configuration, based on the second indication information.

[0354] The step of determining the first configuration of the second cell based on the configuration information and the first SSB includes: determining the CORESET corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set of the second cell, and / or the Type0-PDCCH CSS set configuration, based on the second indication information and the first SSB.
[0355] In some embodiments, the second indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0371] The number of frequency domain resources (e.g., resource blocks (RBs)) corresponding to the CORESET of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set.
[0372] For example, the time-domain resource configuration corresponding to the CORESET of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set may include one or more of the following:
[0373] The duration field corresponding to the CORESET of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set;
[0374] The number of time-domain resources (e.g., Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols) corresponding to the CORESET of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set.

[0387] The monitoringSymbolsWithinSlot, monitoringSlotPeriodicityAndOffset, and duration fields indicate the absolute time-domain configuration.
[0388] In some embodiments, the second indication information is the cell physical identifier of the second cell, and the method further includes:
[0389] Based on the cell physical identifier, the first 4 bits and / or the last 4 bits of the controlResourceSetZero field and / or searchSpaceZero field and / or PDCCH-configSIB1 field of the second cell are determined to be the third value.
[0390] or,
[0391] Based on the cell physical identifier, determine the configuration of CORESET corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set of the second cell and / or the configuration of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set as the first configuration.
[0392] It is understood that the second indication information includes the first 4 bits of the DCCH-configSIB1 field, and / or the last 4 bits of the PDCCH-configSIB1 field, and / or the controlResourceSetZero field, and / or the searchSpaceZero field, which can be understood as the configuration information indicating the actual PDCCH-configSIB1 field value.
[0393] It is understood that the second indication information includes the configuration information of the CORESET corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set of the second cell, and / or the configuration information of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set of the second cell. This can be understood as the configuration information indicating the actual CORESET and / or Type0-PDCCH CSS set configuration corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set.
[0394] It is understood that the second indication information includes the cell physical identifier of the second cell, which can be understood as the configuration information implicitly indicating the value of the first 4 bits and / or the last 4 bits of the controlResourceSetZero field and / or searchSpaceZero field and / or PDCCH-configSIB1 field of the actual second cell, or implicitly indicating the configuration of the CORESET corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set of the second cell and / or the configuration of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set as the first configuration.
[0395] As one possible implementation, if the second indication information includes the first 4 bits of the DCCH-configSIB1 field, and / or the last 4 bits of the PDCCH-configSIB1 field, and / or the controlResourceSetZero field, and / or the searchSpaceZero field, then the terminal determines the CORESET corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set of the second cell, and / or the Type0-PDCCH CSS set configuration, based on the second indication information and the first SSB.
[0396] Specifically, it may include: the terminal scanning the frequency points that the first SSB may transmit according to the synchronization grid (that is, the frequency domain position of the synchronization signal block in the synchronization grid), detecting the first SSB, and obtaining the frequency domain start position of the first SSB.
[0397] Based on the first 4 bits of the PDCCH-configSIB1 field or the controlResourceSetZero field indicated by the second indication information, the frequency domain offset value between the frequency domain start position of the CORESET corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set and the frequency domain start position of the CRB where the first SSB frequency domain start position is located can be determined. Combined with the frequency domain start position of the CRB where the first SSB frequency domain start position is located, the frequency domain start position of the CORESET corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set can be determined. And / or, based on the last 4 bits of the PDCCH-configSIB1 field or the searchSpaceZero field indicated by the second indication information, the configuration of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set can be determined.
[0398] As one possible implementation, if the second indication information includes the configuration information of the CORESET corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set of the second cell, and / or the configuration information of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set of the second cell, the terminal determines the CORESET corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set of the second cell, and / or the configuration of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set, according to the second indication information.
[0399] As one possible implementation, if the second indication information includes the cell physical identifier of the second cell, then the terminal determines the CORESET corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set of the second cell, and / or the Type0-PDCCH CSS set configuration, based on the second indication information and the first SSB.
[0400] Specifically, it may include: the terminal scanning the frequency points that the first SSB may transmit according to the synchronization grid (that is, the frequency domain position of the synchronization signal block in the synchronization grid), detecting the first SSB, and obtaining the frequency domain start position of the first SSB.
[0401] Based on the cell physical identifier of the second cell, the first 4 bits of the PDCCH-configSIB1 field or the value of the controlResourceSetZero field of the second cell are determined. The value of the first 4 bits or the controlResourceSetZero field can determine the frequency domain offset value between the frequency domain start position of the CORESET corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set and the frequency domain start position of the CRB where the first SSB frequency domain start position is located. Combined with the frequency domain start position of the CRB where the first SSB frequency domain start position is located, the frequency domain start position of the CORESET corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set is determined. And / or, based on the cell physical identifier of the second cell, the last 4 bits of the PDCCH-configSIB1 field or the value of the searchSpaceZero field of the second cell are determined. The value of the last 4 bits or the searchSpaceZero field determines the configuration of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set.
[0402] That is, the second indication information can indicate the cell physical identifier of the energy-saving cell, i.e., the second cell. In other words, when the cell physical identifier of the energy-saving cell, i.e., the second cell, exists in the configuration information, it can implicitly indicate that the value of the PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 field of the energy-saving cell, i.e., the second cell, is predefined, or the resource configuration of the CORESET (abbreviated as CORESET0) and / or the Type0-PDCCH CSS set (abbreviated as CSS0) corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set is predefined.
[0403] For example, the high four bits of the PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 field are all set to 0 (i.e., the index value of the CORESET0 related configuration is 0), and / or the low four bits of the PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 field are all set to 0 (i.e., the index value of the CSS0 related configuration is 0).
[0404] For example, indicating the configuration of CORESET0 where the high four bits of the PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 field are all 0 (i.e., the index value of the CORESET0 configuration is 0), and / or indicating the configuration of CSS0 where the low four bits of the PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 field are all 0 (i.e., the index value of the CSS0 configuration is 0).
[0405] In practical applications, the first field of the first SSB can indicate whether the SIB1 of the second cell associated with the first SSB is a non-broadcast message or triggered on demand.
[0406] Based on this, in some embodiments, the first field is the first 4 bits and / or the last 4 bits of the controlResourceSetZero field and / or the searchSpaceZero field and / or the PDCCH-configSIB1 field.
[0407] Therefore, in some embodiments, the first field is a fourth value.
[0408] It is understandable that the first field is the fourth value, which can be understood as the first SSB's control resource indication information PDCCH-configSIB1 field being the second value; it can also be understood as the high 4 bits of the PDCCH-configSIB1 field, and / or the low 4 bits of the PDCCH-configSIB1 field being the fourth value.
[0409] It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the disclosure, by setting the first field of the first SSB to the fourth value, and by indicating in advance in the configuration information the actual CORESET and / or Type0-PDCCH CSS set configuration corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set of the terminal, or the actual field value related to the configuration, the terminal can know through the first field in the first SSB that the SIB1 of the cell associated with the first SSB is triggered on demand, while still being able to correctly know the configuration information of the CORESET and / or Type0-PDCCH CSS set corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set. That is, the original process of obtaining the CORESET and / or Type0-PDCCH CSS set configuration corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set is not affected.
[0410] In the third method, the configuration information includes third indication information, which is used to indicate whether the second cell allows access; the first configuration is whether to allow access.
[0411] In this approach, determining the first configuration of the second cell based on the configuration information includes: determining whether the second cell allows access based on the third indication information.
[0412] In this approach, determining the first configuration of the second cell based on the configuration information and the first SSB includes: determining whether the second cell allows access based on the third indication information and the first SSB.
[0413] Based on this, in some embodiments, the configuration information includes third indication information, which is used to indicate whether the second cell allows access;
[0414] The first configuration determines whether access is allowed;
[0415] Determining the first configuration of the second cell based on the configuration information includes: determining whether the second cell allows access based on the third indication information.
[0416] Based on this, in some embodiments, the configuration information includes third indication information, which is used to indicate whether the second cell allows access;
[0417] The first configuration determines whether access is allowed;
[0418] Determining the first configuration of the second cell based on the configuration information and the first SSB includes: determining whether the second cell allows access based on the third indication information and the first SSB.
[0419] In some embodiments, the third indication information includes at least one of the following:
[0420] The cellBarred field;
[0421] The second field indicates whether the cell allows access;
[0422] The physical identifier of the second residential area.
[0423] In some embodiments, the third indication information is the cell physical identifier of the second cell, and the method further includes:
[0424] Based on the cell physical identifier, the cellBarred field of the second cell is determined to be the fifth value.
[0425] or,
[0426] Based on the physical identifier of the cell, it was determined that access to the second cell was not blocked.
[0427] Understandably, the cellBarred field can take the value 0 or 1, where 0 indicates that access is allowed in the cell and 1 indicates that access is prohibited in the cell.
[0428] Understandably, the second field can be a explicitly barred or not barred field.
[0429] As one possible implementation, if the third indication information includes the cellBarred field, the terminal determines whether the second cell allows access based on the third indication information.
[0430] As one possible implementation, if the third indication information includes the second field, the terminal determines whether the second cell allows access based on the third indication information and the first SSB.
[0431] Specifically, it may include: the terminal detecting the first SSB by scanning the frequency points that the first SSB may send based on the synchronization grid (that is, the frequency domain position of the synchronization signal block in the synchronization grid);
[0432] Based on the value of the second field indicated by the third indication information, it is determined whether the second cell associated with the first SSB is allowed to access.
[0433] As one possible implementation, if the third indication information includes the cell physical identifier of the second cell, then the access to the second cell is determined based on the third indication information.
[0434] Specifically, it may include: determining the cellBarred field of the second cell to be the fifth value based on the cell physical identifier, and determining whether the second cell allows access based on the value of the cellBarred field; or, determining that the second cell does not prohibit access based on the cell physical identifier (which can also be described as determining that the second cell allows access).
[0435] In other words, the third indication information can indicate the physical identifier of the energy-saving cell, i.e., the second cell. That is, when the physical identifier of the energy-saving cell, i.e., the second cell, exists in the configuration information, it can implicitly indicate that the energy-saving cell, i.e., the second cell, is not prohibited from access and is allowed to access.
[0436] In practical applications, the first field of the first SSB can indicate whether the SIB1 of the second cell associated with the first SSB is a non-broadcast message or triggered on demand.
[0437] Therefore, in some embodiments, the first field is the cellBarred field.
[0438] Therefore, in some embodiments, the first field is the sixth value.
[0439] It is understandable that the first field is the sixth value, which can be interpreted as the CellBarred field of the first SSB being set to disabled (barred).
[0440] It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the disclosure, by setting the first field of the first SSB to the sixth value, and by indicating in advance in the configuration information whether the actual cell allows access or the actual field value related to the configuration, the terminal can know whether the SIB1 of the cell associated with the first SSB is triggered on demand through the first field in the first SSB, and can still correctly know whether the cell allows access configuration information. That is, the original process of obtaining the cell access configuration is not affected.
[0441] In practical applications, the terminal can send an uplink trigger signal to request SIB1 of the second cell.
[0442] Based on this, in some embodiments, the configuration information further includes configuration information for an uplink trigger signal; the uplink trigger signal is used to request SIB1 of the second cell.
[0443] It is understood that the request for the SIB1 of the second cell can also be described as triggering or enabling the transmission of the SIB1 of the energy-saving cell, i.e., the second cell.
[0444] Here, the configuration of the uplink trigger signal is a specific PRACH configuration.
[0445] Here, the configuration of the uplink trigger signal (PRACH signal) mainly includes:
[0446] 1) Basic PRACH configuration.
[0447] Specifically, there are two configuration methods:
[0448] Exclusive configuration.
[0449] In this configuration, the PRACH is configured as a dedicated PRACH resource for the current function (e.g., triggering SIB1). This includes independent RACH-ConfigGeneric, ssb-perRACH-Occasion fields, etc.
[0450] Shared configuration.
[0451] In this configuration, the PRACH for the current function shares a large set of PRACH resources with PRACHs for other functions. The dedicated PRACH resources for the current function are determined within the shared PRACH resources using parameters such as totalNumberOfRA-Preambles, ra-ssb-OccasionMaskIndex, and ra-AssociationPeriodIndex.
[0452] 2) Available PRACH resources.
[0453] Available PRACH resources need to be determined based on the following:
[0454] Time Division Duplex (TDD) frame structure configuration. This information is indicated by the field tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon. PRACH can only be transmitted in the uplink time slot.
[0455] SSB configuration includes ssb-PeriodicityServingCell, ssb-PositionsInBurst, channel information, and the channelAccessMode parameter. Only uplink resources that are a certain interval from the SSB burst (consisting of multiple SSBs) can be used to transmit PRACH. The specific interval value is determined by the channel information.
[0456] 3) PRACH resource mapping to SSB.
[0457] Specifically, it is determined by the parameters ssb-perRACH-Occasion and CB-PreamblesPerSSB.
[0458] Referring to Figure 5, which is a schematic diagram of a terminal receiving configuration information and a first SSB according to an embodiment of this disclosure, as shown in Figure 5, the terminal first receives the first SSB and then receives the configuration information. The first field of the first SSB is used to indicate that the SIB1 of the second cell associated with the first SSB is non-broadcast information or triggered on demand. The configuration information indicates the first configuration of the second cell. Thus, while the terminal learns from the first field in the first SSB that the SIB1 of the cell associated with the first SSB is triggered on demand, it can determine the first configuration of the second cell according to the configuration information, or determine the first configuration of the second cell according to the configuration information and the first SSB. After that, the terminal sends an uplink trigger signal to request the SIB1 of the second cell, and subsequently accesses the second cell according to the SIB1.
[0459] The embodiments disclosed herein have the following advantages:
[0460] (1) While the terminal knows that the SIB1 of the second cell is triggered on demand, it can still correctly know the key information such as the first configuration of the second cell based on the configuration information, so as to correctly understand the network configuration. That is, the original process of obtaining the first configuration information is not affected.
[0461] (2) The configuration information may indicate the actual value of the Kssb field, PDCCH-configSIB1 field, or cellBarred field; or, the configuration information may indicate the actual CRB configuration, or the CORESET and / or Type0-PDCCH CSS set configuration corresponding to Type0-PDCCH CSS set, or the configuration of whether the cell allows access.
[0462] Thus, in one scenario, if the SIB1 of the second cell is a non-broadcast message (or described as SIB1 on-demand triggering or the cell being an OD-SIB1 cell), and the first configuration of the second cell is indicated in the pre-received configuration information, the terminal can determine the first configuration of the second cell based on the configuration information. In another scenario, if the first field of the first SSB indicates that the SIB1 of its associated second cell is a non-broadcast message (or described as SIB1 on-demand triggering or the cell being an OD-SIB1 cell), and the first configuration of the second cell is indicated in the pre-received configuration information, the terminal can determine the first configuration of the second cell based on the configuration information and the first SSB.
[0463] (3) By placing some parameters in the PBCH of the first SSB in special values, and by indicating in advance in the configuration information the actual first configuration or the actual field value related to the first configuration of the terminal, the terminal can know that the SIB1 of the cell associated with the first SSB is triggered on demand through the first field carried by the PBCH in the first SSB. At the same time, it can still correctly know the key information such as the CRB configuration, the CORESET and / or the Type0-PDCCH CSS set configuration corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set, and whether the cell can be accessed, so as to correctly understand the first configuration of the second cell in the network configuration. That is, the original process of obtaining information such as the CRB configuration, the CORESET and / or the Type0-PDCCH CSS set configuration corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set, and whether the cell can be accessed is not affected.
[0464] Referring to Figure 6, which is a schematic flowchart of the information processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, applied to a network device, the method includes step 601:
[0465] Step 601: Send configuration information on the first cell.
[0466] Here, the SIB1 of the first cell is broadcast information. That is, the SIB1 of the first cell is broadcast, not sent on demand. In other words, the first cell is a non-energy-efficient cell.
[0467] Here, the network device can send the configuration information to the terminal on a non-energy-saving cell, that is, the terminal receives the configuration information on a non-energy-saving cell.
[0468] Here, the configuration information is used by the terminal to determine the first configuration of the second cell.
[0469] In some embodiments, the method further includes:
[0470] Send a first SSB, the first field of which is used to indicate whether the SIB1 of the second cell associated with the first SSB is a non-broadcast message or triggered on demand.
[0471] Here, the first SSB is used by the terminal to determine the first configuration of the second cell.
[0472] It is understandable that the SIB1 of the second cell associated with the first SSB is non-broadcast information, which can be understood as the SIB1 of the second cell being triggered on demand. In other words, the second cell is an energy-saving cell, or it can be described as a cell where the SIB1 is non-broadcast information, or it can be described as a cell where the SIB1 is triggered on demand, i.e., an On-Demand-SIB1 cell, abbreviated as OD-SIB1 cell.
[0473] In some embodiments, the configuration information includes first indication information, which is used to indicate the CRB configuration of the second cell.
[0474] In some embodiments, the first indication information includes at least one of the following:
[0475] The ssb-SubcarrierOffset field and / or the first bit in the PBCH payload;
[0476] The offset between the frequency domain starting position of the first SSB and the frequency domain starting position of the CRB where the frequency domain starting position of the first SSB is located.
[0477] The frequency domain location of PointA in the second cell;
[0478] Subcarrier spacing of the second cell's CRB;
[0479] The physical identifier of the second residential area.
[0480] It is understood that the first indication information includes the ssb-SubcarrierOffset field and / or the first bit in the PBCH payload, which can be understood as the configuration information indicating the value of the ssb-SubcarrierOffset field and / or the first bit in the PBCH payload, that is, the configuration information indicating the actual Kssb value.
[0481] It is understood that the first indication information includes the offset value between the frequency domain start position of the first SSB and the frequency domain start position of the CRB where the frequency domain start position of the first SSB is located, which can be understood as the configuration information indicating the actual Kssb value.
[0482] It is understood that the first indication information includes the frequency domain location of the second cell Point A, which can be understood as the configuration information indicating the absolute frequency location of Point A. This absolute frequency location is the frequency domain location of subcarrier 0 of CRB0, that is, the configuration information indicates the actual CRB configuration.
[0483] It is understood that the first indication information includes the subcarrier spacing of the second cell's CRB, which can be interpreted as the configuration information indicating the actual CRB configuration.
[0484] It is understood that the first indication information includes the cell physical identifier of the second cell, which can be understood as the configuration information implicitly indicating the value of the first bit in the actual ssb-SubcarrierOffset field and / or PBCH payload, or implicitly indicating the value of the offset between the actual frequency domain start position of the first SSB and the frequency domain start position of the CRB where the frequency domain start position of the first SSB is located. That is, the configuration information indicates the actual Kssb value.
[0485] In practical applications, the first field of the first SSB can indicate whether the SIB1 of the second cell associated with the first SSB is a non-broadcast message or triggered on demand.
[0486] Based on this, in some embodiments, the first field is the ssb-SubcarrierOffset field and / or the first bit in the PBCH payload.
[0487] Therefore, in some embodiments, the first field is a second value.
[0488] It is understandable that the first field is the second value, which can be understood as the first bit in the ssb-SubcarrierOffset field and / or PBCH payload being the second value, that is, the Kssb value of the first SSB of the energy-saving cell, i.e. the second cell, being the second value.
[0489] Here, in the FR1 scenario (service frequency band between 410MHz and 7125MHz), the Kssb value can be obtained based on the ssb-SubcarrierOffset field and the first bit in the PBCH payload. For example, the ssb-SubcarrierOffset field occupies 4 bits, which are used as the lower four bits, and the first bit in the PBCH payload is used as the highest bit to obtain the Kssb value.
[0490] For example, if the first SSB of the energy-saving cell, i.e. the second cell, is in the FR1 band, then the second value can be 30 or 31 (indicated by 1 in the PBCH load, and 14 / 15 in the SSB-subcarrierOffset).
[0491] Here, in the FR2 scenario (service frequency band between 24250MHz and 52600MHz), the Kssb value can be obtained from the ssb-SubcarrierOffset field. For example, the ssb-SubcarrierOffset field occupies 4 bits, and the value corresponding to these 4 bits is the Kssb value.
[0492] For example, if the first SSB of the energy-saving cell, i.e. the second cell, is in the FR2 band, the second value can be 14 or 15 (SSB-subcarrierOffset indicates 14 / 15).
[0493] It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the disclosure, by setting the first field of the first SSB to the second value, and by indicating in advance in the configuration information the actual CRB configuration or the actual field value related to the CRB configuration of the terminal, the terminal can know that the SIB1 of the cell associated with the first SSB is triggered on demand through the first field in the first SSB, while still correctly knowing the CRB configuration information. That is, the original CRB configuration acquisition process is not affected.
[0494] In practical applications, to improve the adaptability of terminal access to cells—that is, to enable the terminal to choose to access either energy-efficient or non-energy-efficient cells—in this embodiment of the disclosure, the network device can indicate that the second cell associated with the first SSB is an energy-efficient cell by setting the first field of the first SSB to a second value. Then, it can also use the PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 field to indicate the offset between the frequency domain position of the first SSB of the energy-efficient cell and the frequency domain position of the SSB of the non-energy-efficient cell. Thus, after the terminal learns that the second cell associated with the first SSB is an energy-efficient cell, it can also determine the frequency domain position of the SSB of the non-energy-efficient cell based on the frequency domain position of the first SSB and the offset between the frequency domain positions of the first SSB of the energy-efficient cell and the SSB of the non-energy-efficient cell indicated by the PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 field. This allows the terminal to obtain the SIB1 of the non-energy-efficient cell and quickly learn the basic information of the non-energy-efficient cells near the energy-efficient cell for access and data transmission.
[0495] Based on this, in some embodiments, the first indication information further includes:
[0496] The PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 field.
[0497] In some embodiments, the configuration information includes second indication information, which is used to indicate the CORESET corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set of the second cell, and / or the Type0-PDCCH CSS set configuration.
[0498] In some embodiments, the second indication information includes at least one of the following:
[0499] The first 4 bits of the PDCCH-configSIB1 field;
[0500] The last 4 bits of the PDCCH-configSIB1 field;

[0502] The searchSpaceZero field;
[0503] Configuration information of CORESET corresponding to Type0-PDCCH CSS set in the second cell;
[0504] Configuration information for the Type0-PDCCH CSS set of the second cell;
[0505] The physical identifier of the second residential area.
[0506] It is understood that the second indication information includes the controlResourceSetZero field, and / or the searchSpaceZero field, and / or the first 4 bits of the DCCH-configSIB1 field, and / or the last 4 bits of the PDCCH-configSIB1 field, which can be understood as the configuration information indicating the actual PDCCH-configSIB1 field value.
[0507] It is understood that the second indication information includes the configuration information of the CORESET corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set of the second cell, and / or the configuration information of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set of the second cell. This can be understood as the configuration information indicating the actual CORESET and / or Type0-PDCCH CSS set configuration corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set.
[0508] It is understood that the second indication information includes the cell physical identifier of the second cell, which can be understood as the configuration information implicitly indicating the value of the first 4 bits and / or the last 4 bits of the controlResourceSetZero field and / or searchSpaceZero field and / or PDCCH-configSIB1 field of the actual second cell, or implicitly indicating the configuration of the CORESET corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set of the second cell and / or the configuration of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set as the first configuration.
[0509] In some embodiments, the configuration of the CORESET corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set of the second cell includes at least one of the following:
[0510] The ControlResourceSet field corresponding to the CORESET of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set;
[0511] The frequency domain resource configuration corresponding to the CORESET of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set;
[0512] The time-domain resource configuration corresponding to the CORESET of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set;
[0513] The reusable pattern corresponding to the CORESET of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set.
[0514] For example, the frequency domain resource configuration corresponding to the CORESET of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set may include one or more of the following:
[0515] The frequencyDomainResources field corresponding to the CORESET of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set;
[0516] The frequency domain offset value between the frequency domain starting position of the CORESET corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set and the frequency domain starting position of the CRB where the first SSB frequency domain starting position is located;
[0517] The number of frequency domain resources (e.g., RBs) corresponding to the CORESET of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set.
[0518] For example, the time-domain resource configuration corresponding to the CORESET of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set may include one or more of the following:
[0519] The duration field corresponding to the CORESET of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set;
[0520] The number of time-domain resources (e.g., OFDM symbols) corresponding to the CORESET of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set.
[0521] The frequencyDomainResources field indicates the absolute frequency domain location.
[0522] In some embodiments, the configuration information of the second cell Type0-PDCCH CSS set includes at least one of the following:
[0523] The SearchSpace field corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set;
[0524] The time-domain resource configuration corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set.
[0525] For example, the temporal resource configuration corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set may include one or more of the following:
[0526] The monitoringSlotPeriodicityAndOffset field corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set;
[0527] The transmission cycle corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set;
[0528] The offset value of the transmission period corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set;
[0529] The duration field corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set;
[0530] The duration (e.g., time slot) of a transmission event corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set;
[0531] The monitoringSymbolsWithinSlot field corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set;
[0532] OFDM symbols detected in each time slot within each transmission time corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set.
[0533] The monitoringSymbolsWithinSlot, monitoringSlotPeriodicityAndOffset, and duration fields indicate the absolute time-domain configuration.
[0534] In practical applications, the first field of the first SSB can indicate whether the SIB1 of the second cell associated with the first SSB is a non-broadcast message or triggered on demand.
[0535] Based on this, in some embodiments, the first field is the first 4 bits and / or the last 4 bits of the controlResourceSetZero field and / or the searchSpaceZero field and / or the PDCCH-configSIB1 field.
[0536] Therefore, in some embodiments, the first field is a fourth value.
[0537] It is understandable that the first field is the fourth value, which can be understood as the first SSB's control resource indication information PDCCH-configSIB1 field being the second value; it can also be understood as the high 4 bits of the PDCCH-configSIB1 field, and / or the low 4 bits of the PDCCH-configSIB1 field being the fourth value.
[0538] It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the disclosure, by setting the first field of the first SSB to the fourth value, and by indicating in advance in the configuration information the actual CORESET and / or Type0-PDCCH CSS set configuration corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set of the terminal, or the actual field value related to the configuration, the terminal can know through the first field in the first SSB that the SIB1 of the cell associated with the first SSB is triggered on demand, while still being able to correctly know the configuration information of the CORESET and / or Type0-PDCCH CSS set corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set. That is, the original process of obtaining the CORESET and / or Type0-PDCCH CSS set configuration corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set is not affected.
[0539] In some embodiments, the configuration information includes third indication information, which is used to indicate whether the second cell allows access.
[0540] In some embodiments, the third indication information includes at least one of the following:
[0541] The cellBarred field;
[0542] The second field indicates whether the cell allows access;
[0543] The physical identifier of the second residential area.
[0544] Understandably, the cellBarred field can take the value 0 or 1, where 0 indicates that access is allowed in the cell and 1 indicates that access is denied in the cell.
[0545] Understandably, the second field can be a explicitly barred or not barred field.
[0546] It is understood that the third indication information can indicate the physical identifier of the energy-saving cell, i.e., the second cell. That is, when the physical identifier of the energy-saving cell, i.e., the second cell, exists in the configuration information, it can implicitly indicate that the energy-saving cell, i.e., the second cell, is not prohibited from access and is allowed to access.
[0547] In practical applications, the first field of the first SSB can indicate whether the SIB1 of the second cell associated with the first SSB is a non-broadcast message or triggered on demand.
[0548] Therefore, in some embodiments, the first field is the cellBarred field.
[0549] Therefore, in some embodiments, the first field is taken as the sixth value.
[0550] It is understandable that the first field is the sixth value, which can be interpreted as the cellBarred field of the first SSB being set to disabled (barred).
[0551] It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the disclosure, by setting the first field of the first SSB to the sixth value, and by indicating in advance in the configuration information whether the actual cell allows access or the actual field value related to the configuration, the terminal can know whether the SIB1 of the cell associated with the first SSB is triggered on demand through the first field in the first SSB, and can still correctly know whether the cell allows access configuration information. That is, the original process of obtaining the cell access configuration is not affected.
[0552] Currently, the proposed on-demand triggering SIB1 mechanism for network energy saving aims to conserve network energy by preventing the transmission of SIB1 in network energy-saving cell scenarios. When a terminal device requires SIB1, it can be enabled to transmit SIB1 in the network energy-saving cell by sending an uplink trigger signal. It's possible to indicate whether SIB1 is non-broadcast or on-demand triggered by setting specific values in certain fields of the SSB's PBCH, such as the Kssb field, PDCCH-configSIB1 field, or cellBarred field. However, while indicating whether SIB1 is non-broadcast or on-demand triggered, this affects the implementation of the original configuration functions related to these fields.
[0553] Based on this, in this embodiment of the disclosure, a second SSB is received; it is determined that the SIB1 of the third cell associated with the second SSB is a non-broadcast message or triggered on demand, and / or, a second configuration of the third cell associated with the second SSB is determined according to at least one of the following: a first parameter of the second SSB; a third field of the second SSB.
[0554] Referring to Figure 7, which is a schematic flowchart of the information processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, applied to a terminal, the method includes steps 701 to 702:
[0555] Step 701: Receive the second SSB.
[0556] Step 702: Determine whether the SIB1 of the third cell associated with the second SSB is a non-broadcast message or triggered on demand based on at least one of the following, and / or determine the second configuration of the third cell associated with the second SSB: a first parameter of the second SSB; a third field of the second SSB.
[0557] It is understood that the SIB1 of the third cell associated with the second SSB is non-broadcast information, which can be understood as the SIB1 of the third cell being triggered on demand. In other words, the third cell is an energy-saving cell, or can be described as a cell where the SIB1 is non-broadcast information, or as a cell where the SIB1 is triggered on demand, i.e., an On-Demand-SIB1 cell, abbreviated as OD-SIB1 cell.
[0558] Specifically, this can include the following situations:
[0559] In the first scenario, the terminal determines, based on the first parameter of the second SSB, whether the SIB1 of the third cell associated with the second SSB is a non-broadcast message or triggered on demand.
[0560] In some embodiments, the first parameter includes at least one of the following:
[0561] The frequency domain location or center frequency of the second SSB;
[0562] A first bias, the first bias being included in the PBCH load of the second SSB;
[0563] The second bias is included in the RE position of the DM-RS of the second SSB;
[0564] The third bias is contained in the sequence associated with the DM-RS of the second SSB.
[0565] As one possible implementation, if the first parameter includes the frequency domain position or center frequency of the second SSB, then if the frequency domain position or center frequency of the second SSB of the energy-saving cell (i.e., the third cell) has a fixed offset from the frequency domain position of the synchronization signal block in the synchronization grid, it can be determined that the SIB1 of the third cell associated with the second SSB is non-broadcast information or triggered on demand. In other words, if the frequency domain position or center frequency (which can also be described as the transmission frequency) of the second SSB of the energy-saving cell (i.e., the third cell) is different from the frequency domain position of the synchronization signal block in the synchronization grid and has a certain offset relationship, then it can be determined that the SIB1 of the third cell associated with the second SSB is non-broadcast information or triggered on demand.
[0566] It is understood that the first parameter may also include the first bias, which can be understood as the existence of a first bias in the PBCH payload of the second SSB of the energy-saving cell, i.e., the third cell.
[0567] For example, the original PBCH payload is a sequence X = [x1, x2, ... xn]. When the SIB1 of the third cell corresponding to the second SSB is triggered on demand, the PBCH payload is X' = [x1, x2, ... xn, xn+1], where xn+1 is the first offset.
[0568] For example, the original PBCH payload is a sequence X = [x1, x2, ... xn]. When the SIB1 of the third cell corresponding to the second SSB is triggered on demand, the PBCH payload is X' = [x0, x1, x2, ... xn], where x0 is the first offset.
[0569] For example, the original PBCH payload is a sequence X = [x1, x2, ... xn]. When the SIB1 of the third cell corresponding to the second SSB is triggered on demand, the PBCH payload is X' = [x1, x2, ... xn + first offset], or X' = [x1, x2, ... (xn + first offset) mod 2]. Similarly, this parameter may also be superimposed on any 1 bit in the PBCH payload.
[0570] As one possible implementation, if the first parameter includes the first bias, then it is determined that the SIB1 of the third cell associated with the second SSB is a non-broadcast message or triggered on demand.
[0571] It is understood that the first parameter may also include the second bias, which can be understood as the existence of a second bias in the RE position of the DM-RS of the second SSB of the energy-saving cell, i.e., the third cell.
[0572] For example, the subcarrier position corresponding to the DM-RS carries this second offset. For SIB1, which is a cell triggered on demand, the subcarrier position of its DM-RS is determined by the parameter v', specifically, v' = (cell physical identifier + second offset) mod 4, where mod represents the modulo operation.
[0573] As one possible implementation, if the first parameter includes the second bias, then it is determined that the SIB1 of the third cell associated with the second SSB is a non-broadcast message or triggered on demand.
[0574] It is understood that the first parameter includes the third bias, which can be understood as the existence of a third bias in the DM-RS associated sequence of the second SSB.
[0575] For example, if the third cell associated with the second SSB is a cell that is triggered on demand (SIB1), then the generation formula for the DM-RS associated sequence of the second SSB can correspondingly include... Replace with +Third bias, where This indicates the physical identifier of the residential area.
[0576] The formula for generating the DM-RS-associated sequences is as follows:
[0577] Among them, C init This indicates the generated DM-RS sequence. Indicates an SSB index. represents the cell physical identifier (ID), b represents the third bias, and mod represents the modulo operation.
[0578] In practical applications, to improve the adaptability of terminal access to cells—that is, to enable the terminal to choose to access either energy-efficient or non-energy-efficient cells—in this embodiment of the disclosure, the network device can use the first parameter of the second SSB to indicate that the third cell associated with the second SSB is an energy-efficient cell. Then, it can also use the PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 field to indicate the offset between the frequency domain position of the second SSB of the energy-efficient cell and the frequency domain position of the SSB of the non-energy-efficient cell. Thus, after the terminal learns that the third cell associated with the second SSB is an energy-efficient cell, it can also determine the frequency domain position of the SSB of the non-energy-efficient cell based on the frequency domain position of the second SSB and the offset between the frequency domain positions of the second SSB of the energy-efficient cell and the SSB of the non-energy-efficient cell indicated by the PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 field. This allows the terminal to obtain the SIB1 of the non-energy-efficient cell and quickly learn the basic information of the non-energy-efficient cells near the energy-efficient cell for access and data transmission.
[0579] Based on this, in some embodiments, the third field of the second SSB is the PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 field.
[0580] Based on this, in some embodiments, the method further includes:
[0581] Based on the PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 field, determine the frequency domain location of the SSB of the non-energy-saving cell associated with the second SSB.
[0582] In other words, the frequency domain location of the SSB of a non-energy-saving cell can be indicated by the value of the PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 field. The SSB of a non-energy-saving cell can also be described as the SSB corresponding to the cell whose SSB1 is broadcast.
[0583] As one possible implementation, the PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 field can indicate the difference between the frequency domain start position of the first SSB of the current energy-saving cell (i.e., the second cell) and the frequency domain start position of the SSB of the non-energy-saving cell. This difference can be used... For granularity representation, where, This indicates the GSCN offset between the frequency domain start position of the first SSB of the energy-saving cell (i.e., the second cell) and the frequency domain start position of the SSB of the non-energy-saving cell.
[0584] Here, one value of the PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 field can correspond to a GSCN offset, as follows:
[0585] In one possibility, the 256 possible values of PDCCH-configSIB1 correspond to 256 offset values in the range {-128,-127,…,-1,1,…,126,127}.
[0586] In one possibility, the 256 possible values of PDCCH-configSIB1 correspond to 256 offset values in the range {-127,-126,…,-1,1,…,127,128}.
[0587] In one possibility, the 256 possible values of PDCCH-configSIB1 correspond to 256 offset values in the range {127,126,…,1,-1,…,-127,-128}.
[0588] In one possibility, the 256 possible values of PDCCH-configSIB1 correspond to 256 offset values in the range {128,127,…,1,-1,…,-126,-127}.
[0589] In one possibility, the 256 possible values of PDCCH-configSIB1 correspond to 256 offset values in the range {-1,-2,…,-256}.
[0590] In one possibility, the 256 possible values of PDCCH-configSIB1 correspond to 256 offset values in the range {1,2,…,256}.
[0591] As one possible implementation, if the first indication information indicates the PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 field, then determining the frequency domain location of the SSB of the non-energy-saving cell associated with the second SSB based on the PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 field may include:
[0592] The terminal detects the first SSB by scanning the frequency points that the first SSB may send based on the synchronization grid (that is, the frequency domain position of the synchronization signal block in the synchronization grid), and obtains the frequency domain start position of the first SSB.
[0593] Based on the difference between the frequency domain start position of the first SSB of the current energy-saving cell (i.e., the second cell) and the frequency domain start position of the SSB of the non-energy-saving cell, as indicated by the PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 field, and the frequency domain start position of the first SSB, the frequency domain start position of the SSB of the non-energy-saving cell is determined, thereby obtaining the SIB1 of the non-energy-saving cell.
[0594] In the second scenario, the terminal determines whether the SIB1 of the third cell associated with the second SSB is a non-broadcast message or triggered on demand based on the first parameter of the second SSB, and determines the second configuration of the third cell associated with the second SSB based on the third field of the second SSB.
[0595] Here, the process by which the terminal determines whether the SIB1 of the third cell associated with the second SSB is non-broadcast information or triggered on demand based on the first parameter of the second SSB has been described above and will not be repeated here.
[0596] Here, the second configuration of the third cell associated with the second SSB is determined based on the third field of the second SSB, which may specifically include the following methods:
[0597] In the first method, the third field is the ssb-SubcarrierOffset field and / or the first bit in the Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) payload; the second configuration is the CRB configuration.
[0598] In this method, determining the second configuration of the third cell associated with the second SSB based on the third field of the second SSB includes: determining the offset value between the frequency domain start position of the second SSB and the frequency domain start position of the CRB where the frequency domain start position of the second SSB is located, based on the third field of the second SSB.
[0599] Based on this, in some embodiments, the third field is the ssb-SubcarrierOffset field and / or the first bit in the PBCH payload;
[0600] The second configuration is the CRB configuration.
[0601] Based on this, in some embodiments, determining the second configuration of the third cell associated with the second SSB according to the third field of the second SSB includes:
[0602] Based on the third field of the second SSB, determine the offset between the frequency domain start position of the second SSB and the frequency domain start position of the CRB where the frequency domain start position of the second SSB is located.
[0603] In the second method, the third field is the first 4 bits and / or the last 4 bits of the controlResourceSetZero field and / or the searchSpaceZero field and / or the PDCCH-configSIB1 field; the second configuration is the configuration of the CORESET corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set of the third cell, and / or the configuration of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set.
[0604] In this approach, the configuration of the CORESET corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set of the third cell is determined based on the third field, and / or the configuration of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set is the second configuration.
[0605] Based on this, in some embodiments, the third field is the first 4 bits and / or the last 4 bits of the controlResourceSetZero field and / or the searchSpaceZero field and / or the PDCCH-configSIB1 field;
[0606] The second configuration is the configuration of the CORESET corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set of the third cell, and / or the configuration of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set.
[0607] Based on this, in some embodiments, determining the second configuration of the third cell associated with the second SSB according to the third field of the second SSB includes:
[0608] Based on the third field, determine the configuration of the CORESET corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set of the third cell, and / or, the configuration of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set is the second configuration.
[0609] In some embodiments, the configuration of the CORESET corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set includes at least one of the following:
[0610] The ControlResourceSet field corresponding to the CORESET of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set;
[0611] The frequency domain resource configuration corresponding to the CORESET of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set;
[0612] The time-domain resource configuration corresponding to the CORESET of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set;
[0613] The reusable pattern corresponding to the CORESET of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set.
[0614] For example, the frequency domain resource configuration corresponding to the CORESET of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set may include one or more of the following:
[0615] The frequencyDomainResources field corresponding to the CORESET of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set;
[0616] The frequency domain offset value between the frequency domain starting position of the CORESET corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set and the frequency domain starting position of the CRB where the first SSB frequency domain starting position is located;
[0617] The number of frequency domain resources (e.g., RBs) corresponding to the CORESET of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set.
[0618] For example, the time-domain resource configuration corresponding to the CORESET of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set may include one or more of the following:
[0619] The duration field corresponding to the CORESET of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set;
[0620] The number of time-domain resources (e.g., OFDM symbols) corresponding to the CORESET of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set.
[0621] The frequencyDomainResources field indicates the absolute frequency domain location.
[0622] In some embodiments, the configuration of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set includes at least one of the following:
[0623] The SearchSpace field corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set;
[0624] The time-domain resource configuration corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set.
[0625] For example, the temporal resource configuration corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set may include one or more of the following:
[0626] The monitoringSlotPeriodicityAndOffset field corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set;
[0627] The transmission cycle corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set;
[0628] The offset value of the transmission period corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set;
[0629] The duration field corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set;
[0630] The duration (e.g., time slot) of a transmission event corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set;
[0631] The monitoringSymbolsWithinSlot field corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set;
[0632] OFDM symbols detected in each time slot within each transmission time corresponding to the Type0-PDCCH CSS set.
[0633] The monitoringSymbolsWithinSlot, monitoringSlotPeriodicityAndOffset, and duration fields indicate the absolute time-domain configuration.
[0634] The third method involves using the cellBarred field as the third field; the second configuration determines whether access is allowed.
[0635] In this approach, the second configuration of the third cell associated with the second SSB is determined based on the third field of the second SSB, including: determining that the third cell is not blocked from access based on the third field.
[0636] Based on this, in some embodiments, the third field is the cellBarred field; the second configuration is whether access is allowed.
[0637] Based on this, in some embodiments, determining the second configuration of the third cell associated with the second SSB based on the third field of the second SSB includes: determining that the third cell has not blocked access based on the third field.
[0638] In the third scenario, the terminal determines, based on the third field of the second SSB, whether the SIB1 of the third cell associated with the second SSB is a non-broadcast message or triggered on demand, and the second configuration of the third cell associated with the second SSB.
[0639] The process by which the terminal determines the second configuration of the third cell associated with the second SSB based on the third field of the second SSB has been described above and will not be repeated here.
[0640] In practical applications, the third field of the second SSB can indicate whether the SIB1 of the third cell associated with the second SSB is a non-broadcast message or triggered on demand.
[0641] Therefore, in some embodiments, the third field is the seventh value.
[0642] Here, the third field is the ssb-SubcarrierOffset field and / or the first bit in the PBCH payload.
[0643] It is understood that the third field is the seventh value, which can be understood as the first bit in the ssb-SubcarrierOffset field and / or PBCH payload being the seventh value, that is, the Kssb value of the first SSB of the energy-saving cell, i.e. the second cell, being the seventh value.
[0644] In practical applications, the third field of the second SSB can indicate whether the SIB1 of the third cell associated with the second SSB is a non-broadcast message or triggered on demand.
[0645] Therefore, in some embodiments, the third field is the eighth value.
[0646] Here, the third field is the first 4 bits and / or the last 4 bits of the controlResourceSetZero field and / or the searchSpaceZero field and / or the PDCCH-configSIB1 field.
[0647] It is understood that the third field being the eighth value can be interpreted as the PDCCH-configSIB1 field being the eighth value; it can also be interpreted as the high 4 bits of the PDCCH-configSIB1 field, and / or the low 4 bits of the PDCCH-configSIB1 field being the eighth value.
[0648] In practical applications, the third field of the second SSB can indicate whether the SIB1 of the third cell associated with the second SSB is a non-broadcast message or triggered on demand.
[0649] Therefore, in some embodiments, the third field is the ninth value.
[0650] Here, the third field is the cellBarred field.
[0651] It is understandable that the third field is the ninth value, which can be interpreted as the cellBarred field being set to disabled (barred).
[0652] In some embodiments, the method further includes:
[0653] Configuration information for receiving uplink trigger signals; the uplink trigger signals are used to request SIB1 of the third cell.
[0654] Here, the configuration of the uplink trigger signal is a specific PRACH configuration.
[0655] Here, the configuration of the uplink trigger signal (PRACH signal) mainly includes:
[0656] 1) Basic PRACH configuration.
[0657] Specifically, there are two configuration methods:
[0658] Exclusive configuration.
[0659] In this configuration, the PRACH is configured as a dedicated PRACH resource for the current function (e.g., triggering SIB1). This includes independent RACH-ConfigGeneric, ssb-perRACH-Occasion fields, etc.
[0660] Shared configuration.
[0661] In this configuration, the PRACH for the current function shares a large set of PRACH resources with PRACHs for other functions. The dedicated PRACH resources for the current function are determined within the shared PRACH resources using parameters such as totalNumberOfRA-Preambles, ra-ssb-OccasionMaskIndex, and ra-AssociationPeriodIndex.
[0662] 2) Available PRACH resources.
[0663] Available PRACH resources need to be determined based on the following:
[0664] Time Division Duplex (TDD) frame structure configuration. This information is indicated by the field tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon. PRACH can only be transmitted in the uplink time slot.
[0665] SSB configuration includes ssb-PeriodicityServingCell, ssb-PositionsInBurst, channel information, and the channelAccessMode parameter. Only uplink resources that are a certain interval from the SSB burst (consisting of multiple SSBs) can be used to transmit PRACH. The specific interval value is determined by the channel information.
[0666] 3) PRACH resource mapping to SSB.
[0667] Specifically, it is determined by the parameters ssb-perRACH-Occasion and CB-PreamblesPerSSB.
[0668] Referring to Figure 8, which is a schematic diagram of a terminal receiving a second SSB according to an embodiment of this disclosure, as shown in Figure 8, the terminal first receives the second SSB, and then receives configuration information of an uplink trigger signal; the uplink trigger signal is used to request the SIB1 of the third cell associated with the second SSB; the terminal determines, based on the first parameter and / or the third field of the second SSB, whether the SIB1 of the third cell associated with the second SSB is non-broadcast information or triggered on demand, and / or determines the second configuration of the third cell associated with the second SSB, and then sends the uplink trigger signal to request the SIB1 of the third cell, and subsequently accesses the third cell based on the SIB1.
[0669] This example has the following advantages:
[0670] (1) The second SSB carries a first parameter and / or a third field.
[0671] Thus, the terminal can determine whether the SIB1 of the third cell associated with the second SSB is a non-broadcast message or triggered on demand, and / or determine the second configuration of the third cell associated with the second SSB, based on the first parameter of the second SSB and / or the third field of the second SSB.
[0672] (2) By adjusting the transmission frequency, PBCH payload, or DM-RS information of the second SSB, the terminal can be enabled to know that the SIB1 of the third cell associated with the second SSB is triggered on demand. At the same time, the original process of obtaining information such as CRB configuration, CORESET and / or Type0-PDCCH CSS set configuration, and whether the cell can be accessed is not affected.
[0673] Referring to Figure 9, which is a schematic flowchart of the information processing method according to an embodiment of this disclosure, applied to a network device, the method includes step 901:
[0674] Step 901: Send the second SSB.
[0675] Here, the second SSB is used by the terminal to determine whether the SIB1 of the third cell associated with the second SSB is a non-broadcast message or triggered on demand, and / or to determine the second configuration of the third cell associated with the second SSB.
[0676] It is understood that the SIB1 of the third cell associated with the second SSB is non-broadcast information, which can be understood as the SIB1 of the third cell being triggered on demand. In other words, the third cell is an energy-saving cell, or can be described as a cell where the SIB1 is non-broadcast information, or as a cell where the SIB1 is triggered on demand, i.e., an On-Demand-SIB1 cell, abbreviated as OD-SIB1 cell.
[0677] In some embodiments, the second SSB includes a third field and / or a first parameter.
[0678] In some embodiments, the first parameter includes at least one of the following:
[0679] The frequency domain location or center frequency of the second SSB;
[0680] A first bias, the first bias being included in the PBCH load of the second SSB;
[0681] The second bias is included in the RE position of the DM-RS of the second SSB;
[0682] The third bias is contained in the sequence associated with the DM-RS of the second SSB.
[0683] It is understood that the first parameter may also include the first bias, which can be understood as the existence of a first bias in the PBCH payload of the second SSB of the energy-saving cell, i.e., the third cell.
[0684] For example, the original PBCH payload is a sequence X = [x1, x2, ... xn]. When the SIB1 of the third cell corresponding to the second SSB is triggered on demand, the PBCH payload is X' = [x1, x2, ... xn, xn+1], where xn+1 is the first offset.
[0685] For example, the original PBCH payload is a sequence X = [x1, x2, ... xn]. When the SIB1 of the third cell corresponding to the second SSB is triggered on demand, the PBCH payload is X' = [x0, x1, x2, ... x], where x0 is the first offset.
[0686] For example, the original PBCH payload is a sequence X = [x1, x2, ... xn]. When the SIB1 of the third cell corresponding to the second SSB is triggered on demand, the PBCH payload is X' = [x1, x2, ... xn + first offset], or X' = [x1, x2, ... (xn + first offset) mod 2]. Similarly, this parameter may also be superimposed on any 1 bit in the PBCH payload.
[0687] It is understood that the first parameter may also include the second bias, which can be understood as the existence of a second bias in the RE position of the DM-RS of the second SSB of the energy-saving cell, i.e., the third cell.
[0688] For example, the subcarrier position corresponding to the DM-RS carries this second offset. For SIB1, which is a cell triggered on demand, the subcarrier position of its DM-RS is determined by parameter v', specifically, v' = (cell physical identifier + second offset) mod 4.
[0689] It is understood that the first parameter may also include the third bias, which can be understood as the existence of a third bias in the DM-RS associated sequence of the second SSB.
[0690] For example, if the third cell associated with the second SSB is a cell that is triggered on demand (SIB1), then the generation formula for the DM-RS associated sequence of the second SSB can correspondingly include... Replace with +Third bias, where This indicates the physical identifier of the residential area.
[0691] The formula for generating the DM-RS-associated sequences is as follows:
[0692] Among them, C init This indicates the generated DM-RS sequence. Indicates an SSB index. represents the cell physical identifier (ID), b represents the third bias, and mod represents the modulo operation.
[0693] In practical applications, to improve the adaptability of terminal access to cells—that is, to enable the terminal to choose to access either energy-efficient or non-energy-efficient cells—in this embodiment of the disclosure, the network device can use the first parameter of the second SSB to indicate that the third cell associated with the second SSB is an energy-efficient cell. Then, it can also use the PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 field to indicate the offset between the frequency domain position of the second SSB of the energy-efficient cell and the frequency domain position of the SSB of the non-energy-efficient cell. Thus, after the terminal learns that the third cell associated with the second SSB is an energy-efficient cell, it can also determine the frequency domain position of the SSB of the non-energy-efficient cell based on the frequency domain position of the second SSB and the offset between the frequency domain positions of the second SSB of the energy-efficient cell and the SSB of the non-energy-efficient cell indicated by the PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 field. This allows the terminal to obtain the SIB1 of the non-energy-efficient cell and quickly learn the basic information of the non-energy-efficient cells near the energy-efficient cell for access and data transmission.
[0694] Based on this, in some embodiments, the third field of the second SSB is the PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 field.
[0695] In practical applications, the third field of the second SSB can be used by the terminal to determine the second configuration of the third cell associated with the second SSB.
[0696] Based on this, in some embodiments, the third field is the ssb-SubcarrierOffset field and / or the first bit in the PBCH payload.
[0697] In practical applications, the third field of the second SSB can indicate whether the SIB1 of the third cell associated with the second SSB is a non-broadcast message or triggered on demand.
[0698] Therefore, in some embodiments, the third field is the seventh value.
[0699] Here, the third field is the ssb-SubcarrierOffset field and / or the first bit in the PBCH payload.
[0700] It is understood that the third field is the seventh value, which can be understood as the first bit in the ssb-SubcarrierOffset field and / or PBCH payload being the seventh value, that is, the Kssb value of the first SSB of the energy-saving cell, i.e. the second cell, being the seventh value.
[0701] In practical applications, the third field of the second SSB can be used by the terminal to determine the second configuration of the third cell associated with the second SSB.
[0702] Based on this, in some embodiments, the third field is the first 4 bits and / or the last 4 bits of the controlResourceSetZero field and / or the searchSpaceZero field and / or the PDCCH-configSIB1 field.
[0703] In practical applications, the third field of the second SSB can indicate whether the SIB1 of the third cell associated with the second SSB is a non-broadcast message or triggered on demand.
[0704] Therefore, in some embodiments, the third field is the eighth value.
[0705] Here, the third field is the first 4 bits and / or the last 4 bits of the controlResourceSetZero field and / or the searchSpaceZero field and / or the PDCCH-configSIB1 field.
[0706] It is understood that the third field being the eighth value can be interpreted as the PDCCH-configSIB1 field being the eighth value; it can also be interpreted as the high 4 bits of the PDCCH-configSIB1 field, and / or the low 4 bits of the PDCCH-configSIB1 field being the eighth value.
[0707] In practical applications, the third field of the second SSB can be used by the terminal to determine the second configuration of the third cell associated with the second SSB.
[0708] Therefore, in some embodiments, the third field is the cellBarred field.
[0709] In practical applications, the third field of the second SSB can indicate whether the SIB1 of the third cell associated with the second SSB is a non-broadcast message or triggered on demand.
[0710] Therefore, in some embodiments, the third field is the ninth value.
[0711] Here, the third field is the cellBarred field.
[0712] It is understandable that the third field is the ninth value, which can be interpreted as the cellBarred field being set to disabled (barred).
[0713] In some embodiments, the method further includes:
[0714] Configuration information for sending an uplink trigger signal; the uplink trigger signal is used to request SIB1 of the third cell.
