Further, a plurality of systems can be applied in combination (for example, combination of LTE or LTE-A and 5G, combination of 5G and 5G, combination of 5G and 6G, and the like).

[0106] In some embodiments, two measurement relaxation triggering conditions are introduced, one is the stationary or low mobility criterion, and the other is the not-at-cell-edge or good cell quality criterion. Both of the two measurement relaxation triggering conditions are evaluated based on the measurement results of the serving cell, and the UE satisfying the criterion can perform relaxed Radio Resource management (RRM) measurement on the neighbor cell; the relaxed measurement can be the measurement with extended measurement period.

[0107] In some embodiments, the RRM measurement of the idle or inactive state inter-frequency neighbor cell is configured with frequency priority. The measurement of the relatively higher priority frequency layer can include one of the following: the UE performs the relatively higher priority frequency layer search when Srxlev>SnonIntraSearchP and Squal>SnonIntraSearchQ; the UE performs the measurement on all carriers (i.e., without priority differentiation) when Srxlev≤SnonIntraSearchP and Squal≤SnonIntraSearchQ. Alternatively, a high priority relaxation switch is defined, and in the case of switch configuration, the UE performs relaxed measurement on the relatively higher priority frequency layer when the measurement relaxation condition is satisfied.

[0108] In some embodiments, the stationary or low mobility criterion is: the difference between the reference received signal quality and the current RSRP of the UE is less than a certain preset threshold value (S SearchDeltaP ) within a certain time (T SearchDeltaP ), which means that the signal change range is not large, and it can be considered that the current UE is in the stationary or low mobility criterion. The decision condition is: (Srxlev Ref -Srxlev)<S SearchDeltaP ; wherein Srxlev is the Srxlev of the current serving cell, in dB; Srxlev Ref = the Srxlev reference value of the current serving cell, in dB. The setting is performed in the following manner: the UE selects or reselects a new cell; (Srxlev-Srxlev Ref >0); no decision condition is satisfied within T SearchDeltaP .

[0109] In some embodiments, the not-at-cell-edge or good cell quality criterion is: if the current Srxlev of the UE is greater than the threshold S searchThresholdP and Squal is greater than the threshold S searchThresholdQ (if configured), it is considered that the UE satisfies the not-at-cell-edge or good cell quality criterion. The decision condition is: Srxlev>S searchThresholdP and Squal>S searchThresholdQ(if configured); where Srxlev = current serving cell Srxlev in dB; Squal = current serving cell Squal in dB.

[0110] In some embodiments, a separate transceiver (low power wake-up receiver, LP-WUR) is introduced to receive the power saving signal (e.g., low power Wakeup Signal, LP-WUS). For example, the UE listens to the wake-up signal sent by the base station through the separate transceiver in the idle state. If the UE receives the wake-up signal, the UE will start the paging Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) listening function of the main receiver (MR); or if the UE does not receive the wake-up signal, the UE will not start the main receiver.

[0111] In some embodiments, the UE supporting LP-WUR introduces a new measurement reference signal, such as a low power synchronization signal (LP-SS), and the LP-WUR performs measurement on the LP-SS to ensure synchronization. The UE in the idle state or inactive state can perform RRM measurement on the serving cell based on the LP-SS. At this time, the measurement of the MR can be fully offloaded to the LR (i.e., case 1), or partially offloaded to the LR (i.e., case 3), at which time the MR performs relaxed measurement. The case in which the MR performs relaxed measurement is shown in Table 1.

[0112] Table 1

[0113] In the case of case 3, because the LR and the MR are both on, it is not yet determined whether the terminal listens to the LP-WUS using the LR or directly listens to the paging message using the MR in this scenario. Moreover, it is not yet determined how the terminal transitions between various states.

[0114] In some embodiments, the UE can be a terminal, or the terminal can be a UE.

[0115] FIG. 2A is an interaction diagram of an information processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2A, the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to an information processing method for an information processing system 100, and the above method comprises:

[0116] In step S2101, the network device sends first information to the terminal.

[0117] In some embodiments, the terminal receives first information sent by the network device.

[0118] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate a criterion for the terminal to enter a different state.

[0119] Optionally, the state is a state of whether a first transceiver and / or a second transceiver of the terminal is turned on.

[0120] For example, the first transceiver is used to receive a wake-up signal, and the wake-up signal is used to wake up the second transceiver of the terminal.

[0121] For example, the wake-up signal can be any kind of low-power wake-up signal or low-power power saving signal. For example, the wake-up signal can be a low-power wake-up signal (LP-WUS) or a DCP signal, etc. For example, the name of the wake-up signal is not limited, which is, for example, a low-power power saving signal, a low-power wake-up signal, etc.

[0122] For example, the first transceiver can be a separate transceiver; and / or, the second transceiver can be a main transceiver.

[0123] For example, the first transceiver and the second transceiver can have the function of simultaneous receiving and transmitting; or, the first transceiver and the second transceiver can only have the function of receiving.

[0124] For example, the power consumption of the first transceiver is less than that of the second transceiver. The power consumption of the first transceiver is less than that of the second transceiver can be that the power consumed by the first transceiver for receiving and / or transmitting information is less than the power consumed by the second transceiver for receiving and / or transmitting information. For example, the power consumed by the first transceiver for decoding each signal is less than that of the second transceiver for decoding the same signal.

[0125] For example, the structure of the first transceiver is relatively simple compared with that of the second transceiver.

[0126] For example, the first transceiver can be a first receiver; and / or, the second transceiver can be a second receiver.

[0127] For example, the first transceiver is a secondary transceiver; and the second transceiver is a main transceiver. The secondary transceiver is used to assist the main transceiver to receive and / or transmit information.

[0128] Optionally, the state can include one of the following: a first state, a second state, a third state, and a fourth state. The first state can be the state in the case 1 scenario in the previous embodiments; and the second state can be the state in the case 3 scenario in the previous embodiments.

[0129] Optionally, the second state can comprise a first type of second state or a second type of second state. For example, the first type of second state can be a first sub-state; the second type of second state can be a second sub-state. For example, the first type of second state can be state 2-1; the second type of second state can be state 2-2.

[0130] For example, the first state is a state in which the first transceiver of the terminal is in an on state and performs monitoring of the wake-up signal, and the second transceiver of the terminal is in a dormant state. When the terminal is in the first state, the terminal stops using the second transceiver to perform monitoring of the paging message.

[0131] For example, the second state is a state in which the first transceiver is in an on state and the second transceiver is in an active state.

[0132] For example, the third state is a state in which the first transceiver does not perform monitoring of the wake-up signal, and the second transceiver is in an active state.

[0133] For example, the fourth state is a state in which the second transceiver is in an active state.

[0134] For example, the first type of second state is a state in which the first transceiver is used to perform monitoring of the wake-up signal and the second transceiver is not used to perform monitoring of the paging message.

[0135] For example, the second type of second state is a state in which the first transceiver is not used to perform monitoring of the wake-up signal and the second transceiver is used to perform monitoring of the paging message.

[0136] In some embodiments, the first state corresponds to a first criterion; the second state corresponds to a second criterion; and the third state corresponds to a third criterion.

[0137] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate at least one of the following: a first criterion for entering the first state; a second criterion for entering the second state; and a third criterion for entering the third state.

[0138] Optionally, the first criterion is based on a good cell quality criterion or a low mobility criterion of the first transceiver, and / or based on a good cell quality criterion or a low mobility criterion of the second transceiver. For example, the first criterion is based on a good cell quality criterion or a low mobility criterion of the first transceiver, and based on a good cell quality criterion or a low mobility criterion of the second transceiver.

[0139] Optionally, the second criterion is based on a good cell quality criterion or a low mobility criterion of the first transceiver, and / or based on a good cell quality criterion or a low mobility criterion of the second transceiver. For example, the first criterion is based on a good cell quality criterion or a low mobility criterion of the second transceiver.

[0140] Optionally, the third criterion is a good cell quality criterion or a low mobility criterion based on the terminal.

[0141] Optionally, the signal quality threshold of the first criterion is higher than the signal quality threshold of the second criterion, and / or the signal quality threshold of the second criterion is higher than the signal quality threshold of the third criterion. Here, the relaxation degree of the first criterion is higher than the relaxation degree of the second criterion, and the relaxation degree of the second criterion is higher than the relaxation degree of the third criterion; that is, the condition for satisfying the first criterion is more stringent than the condition for satisfying the second criterion, and the condition for satisfying the second criterion is more stringent than the condition for satisfying the third criterion.

[0142] Optionally, the signal quality variation range of the first criterion is smaller than the signal quality variation range of the second criterion, and / or the signal quality variation range of the second criterion is smaller than the signal quality variation range of the third criterion.

[0143] Optionally, the good cell quality criterion or the low mobility criterion based on the first transceiver refers to a good cell quality criterion or a low mobility criterion determined based on measurement by the first transceiver; the good cell quality criterion or the low mobility criterion based on the second transceiver refers to a good cell quality criterion or a low mobility criterion determined based on measurement by the second transceiver; the reference signal for measurement by the first transceiver is different from the reference signal for measurement by the second transceiver.

[0144] Exemplarily, the good cell quality criterion can also be a non-edge-of-cell criterion; the low mobility criterion can also be a stationary criterion. The good cell quality criterion can be the good cell quality criterion in the previous embodiments; the low mobility criterion can be the low mobility criterion in the previous embodiments.

[0145] Exemplarily, the good cell quality criterion is that the received strength of the reference signal is greater than a first preset threshold, and then the signal quality of the cell is considered to be good.

[0146] For example, the parameters (e.g. the first preset threshold) for whether the good cell quality criterion is satisfied can include, but are not limited to, at least one of: an intra-frequency level threshold (SIntraSearchP), an intra-frequency measurement signal quality threshold (SIntraSearchQ), an inter-frequency or inter-system level threshold (SnonIntraSearchP), and an inter-frequency or inter-system measurement signal quality threshold (SnonIntraSearchQ). For example, for intra-frequency measurement, the cell level (Srxlev) is greater than the intra-frequency level threshold (SIntraSearchP), and the cell quality (Squal) is greater than the intra-frequency measurement signal quality threshold (SIntraSearchQ), i.e. the good cell quality criterion is satisfied; or, for inter-frequency or inter-system measurement, the cell level (Srxlev) is greater than the inter-frequency or inter-system level threshold (SnonIntraSearchP), and the cell quality (Squal) is greater than the inter-frequency or inter-system measurement signal quality threshold (SnonIntraSearchQ), i.e. the good cell quality criterion is satisfied.

[0147] For example, the intra-frequency level threshold, the intra-frequency measurement signal quality threshold, the inter-frequency or inter-system level threshold, and the inter-frequency or inter-system measurement signal quality threshold of the first criterion can be higher than the intra-frequency level threshold, the intra-frequency measurement signal quality threshold, the inter-frequency or inter-system level threshold, and the inter-frequency or inter-system measurement signal quality threshold of the second criterion, respectively; the intra-frequency level threshold, the intra-frequency measurement signal quality threshold, the inter-frequency or inter-system level threshold, and the inter-frequency or inter-system measurement signal quality threshold of the second criterion can be higher than the intra-frequency level threshold, the intra-frequency measurement signal quality threshold, the inter-frequency or inter-system level threshold, and the inter-frequency or inter-system measurement signal quality threshold of the third criterion, respectively.

[0148] For example, the low mobility criterion: the difference between the signal reception strength of the reference and the signal reception strength of the serving cell is less than a second preset threshold within a predetermined time, the terminal is considered to be in a low mobility state.

[0149] For example, the predetermined time of the first criterion is less than the predetermined time of the second criterion, and / or the second preset threshold of the first criterion is less than the second preset threshold of the second criterion; the predetermined time of the second criterion is less than the predetermined time of the third criterion, and / or the predetermined time of the second criterion is less than the predetermined time of the third criterion.

[0150] For example, the first criterion can be Rel19 criteria1; the second criterion can be Rel19 criteria3; and the third criterion can be Rel-16 / Rel-17 relaxion criteria.

[0151] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate criteria of at least one state.

[0152] Optionally, the first information is used to indicate criteria corresponding to entering the at least two states respectively.

[0153] Optionally, different information elements (IEs) of the first information are used to indicate criteria of entering different states.

[0154] Optionally, different bits of a same IE of the first information are used to indicate criteria of different states.

[0155] For example, the first information includes a first IE and a second IE, wherein the first IE is used to indicate criteria of entering a first state, and the second IE is used to indicate criteria of entering a second state.

[0156] For example, the first information includes a first IE, wherein when the first IE is a first bit, it is used to indicate criteria of entering a first state, when the first IE is a second bit, it is used to indicate criteria of entering a second state, or when the first IE is a third bit, it is used to indicate criteria of entering at least a third state.

[0157] In some embodiments, the name of the first information is not limited, which is, for example, criteria indication information or criteria indication information of a state.

[0158] At step S2102, the terminal determines a state in which the terminal is located.

[0159] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the state in which the terminal is located based on criteria met by the terminal and / or capability supported by the terminal.

[0160] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the criteria met based on the first information.

[0161] Optionally, the terminal determines that the terminal is in a first state based on the terminal meeting a first criterion.

[0162] Optionally, the terminal determines that the terminal is in a second state based on the terminal meeting a second criterion.

[0163] Optionally, the terminal determines that the terminal is in a third state based on the terminal meeting a third criterion.

[0164] For example, the terminal determines whether a measurement value obtained by measuring a reference signal based on the first transceiver and / or the second transceiver meets a first criterion (e.g., whether the measurement value is greater than a preset threshold value), and determines that the terminal is in a first state if the first criterion is met.

[0165] For example, the terminal determines whether the measurement value satisfies a second criterion (e.g., whether the measurement value is greater than a preset threshold value) based on the measurement of the reference signal by the first transceiver and / or the second transceiver, and determines that the terminal is in the second state if the second criterion is satisfied.

[0166] For example, the terminal determines whether the measurement value satisfies a third criterion (e.g., whether the measurement value is greater than a preset threshold value) based on the measurement of the reference signal by the first transceiver and / or the second transceiver, and determines that the terminal is in the third state if the third criterion is satisfied.

[0167] Optionally, the terminal determines that the terminal is in a state corresponding to any one of the at least two criteria based on the terminal satisfying the at least two criteria.

[0168] Optionally, the terminal determines that the terminal is in a state that is most relaxed among states corresponding to the at least two criteria based on the terminal satisfying the at least two criteria. The first state is more relaxed than the second state, and the second state is more relaxed than the third state.

[0169] For example, if the terminal satisfies the first criterion and the second criterion, the terminal can be determined to be in the first state corresponding to the first criterion or in the second state corresponding to the second criterion.

[0170] For example, if the terminal satisfies the first criterion and the second criterion, the terminal can be determined to be in the first state because the first state corresponding to the first criterion is more relaxed than the second state corresponding to the second criterion.

[0171] Optionally, the terminal determines whether to be in the first state according to whether the terminal satisfies the first criterion based on the first information indicating the first criterion and the terminal supporting the first state.

[0172] For example, the first information sent by the network device indicates the first criterion for entering the first state. If the terminal supports the first state and satisfies the first criterion, the terminal is determined to be in the first state, or if the terminal supports the first state but does not satisfy the first criterion, the terminal is determined not to be in the first state. Of course, in other embodiments, if the terminal does not support the first state, the terminal is not in the first state.

[0173] Optionally, the terminal determines whether to be in the second state according to whether the terminal satisfies the second criterion based on the first information indicating the second criterion and the terminal supporting the second state.

[0174] For example, the first information sent by the network device indicates a second criterion for entering the second state; if the terminal supports the second state and meets the second criterion, the terminal determines that the terminal is in the second state, or if the terminal supports the second state but does not meet the second criterion, the terminal determines that the terminal is not in the second state. Of course, in other embodiments, if the terminal does not support the second state, the terminal is not in the second state.

[0175] In some optional embodiments, the first terminal determines a first operation. The first operation includes at least one of the following: a measurement manner of the terminal in different states; and a switching of the terminal between different states.

[0176] In step S2103, the terminal determines a measurement manner of the terminal in different states.

[0177] In some optional embodiments, the terminal determines a behavior of the terminal in different states. Optionally, the behavior of the terminal in different states can include at least one of the following: a behavior of whether the first transceiver and / or the second transceiver is turned on, a behavior of the first transceiver and / or the second transceiver listening, a behavior of the first transceiver and / or the second transceiver measuring, and the like. Optionally, the measurement manner of the terminal in different states is one of the behaviors of the terminal in different states.

[0178] Optionally, the measurement manner in the first state includes at least one of the following: a manner of measuring the serving cell using the first transceiver; and a manner of stopping measuring the serving cell and / or the neighbor cell using the second transceiver.

[0179] Optionally, the measurement manner in the second state includes at least one of the following: a manner of measuring the serving cell using the first transceiver; and a manner of measuring the serving cell and / or the neighbor cell using the second transceiver. For example, the measurement manner of the first type of the second state includes at least one of the following: a manner of measuring the serving cell using the first transceiver; and / or a manner of measuring the serving cell and / or the neighbor cell using the second transceiver. For example, the measurement manner of the second type of the second state includes a manner of relaxed measurement of the serving cell and / or the neighbor cell using the second transceiver.

[0180] Optionally, the measurement manner in the third state includes a manner of relaxed measurement of the serving cell and / or the neighbor cell using the second transceiver.

[0181] Optionally, the measurement manner in the fourth state includes a manner of measuring the serving cell and / or the neighbor cell using the second transceiver.

[0182] In step S2104, the terminal determines a switching of the terminal between different states.

[0183] In some embodiments, the terminal determines to switch the terminal between the first state, the second state, the third state and the fourth state step by step, or the terminal determines to switch the terminal between the first state, the second state, the third state and the fourth state in a leapfrog manner.

[0184] In some embodiments, the terminal switches from the first state to one of the second state, the third state and the fourth state when the terminal is in the first state and the first criterion is not met, wherein the second state comprises a first type of second state or a second type of second state.

[0185] Optionally, the terminal switches from the first state to the second state when the terminal is in the first state and the first criterion is not met, and the second criterion is met and the second state is supported. Here, the terminal switches from the first state to the second state.

[0186] Optionally, the terminal determines whether the third criterion is met and the third state is supported when the terminal is in the first state and the first criterion is not met, and the second criterion is not met and / or the second state is not supported, and switches to the third state when the third criterion is met and the third state is supported. Here, the terminal switches from the first state to the third state; or the terminal switches from the first state to the second state and the second state to the third state.

[0187] Optionally, the terminal switches to the fourth state when the terminal is in the first state and the first criterion is not met, and the third criterion is not met and / or the third state is not supported. Here, the terminal switches from the first state to the fourth state; or the terminal switches from the first state to the second state, the second state to the third state and the third state to the fourth state.

[0188] Optionally, the terminal determines whether the third criterion is met and the third state is supported can be replaced by: performing a first decision, the first decision being a decision of whether the third criterion is met and the third state is supported.

[0189] Optionally, the terminal can implement step-by-step leapfrog between the first state, the second state, the third state and the fourth state. The step-by-step leapfrog can implement switching from high to low in the degree of relaxation, for example, the degree of relaxation of the first state is higher than that of the second state, the degree of relaxation of the second state is higher than that of the third state, and the degree of relaxation of the third state is higher than that of the fourth state.

[0190] Optionally, the terminal can implement cross-level leapfrog from the first state to the third state, or from the first state to the fourth state, or from the second state to the fourth state. When the cross-level leapfrog is implemented, the power saving situations of the states are not much different, so the terminal can switch from the first state to the second state or the third state or the fourth state.

[0191] Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 2B or FIG. 2C, the state of the terminal can include one of the following: a first state (case 1), a second state (case 3), a third state (RRM relaxation), and a fourth state (non-RRM relaxation); the first state: the first transceiver (i.e., LR) is turned on, the LR is paging, and the second transceiver (i.e., MR) is turned off; the second state: the LR is turned on, the LR is paging, and the MR belongs to relaxation state 1; the third state: the LR is turned off, the MR is paging, and the MR belongs to relaxation state 2; and the fourth state: the LR is turned off, the MR is paging, and the MR is not relaxed. Here, the RRM relaxation can be RRM measurement relaxation, and the non-RRM can be non-RRM measurement relaxation; the relaxation state 1 can be measurement relaxation state 1, and the relaxation state 2 can be measurement relaxation state 2. If the terminal satisfies the first criterion (e.g., Rel19 criteria1), it is in the first state; or if the terminal satisfies the second criterion (Rel19 criteria3), it is in the second state; or if the terminal satisfies the third criterion (Rel-16 / Rel-17 relaxation criteria), it is in the third state.

[0192] FIG. 2B shows a case for the first type of second state (i.e., state 2-1), and FIG. 2C shows a case for the second type of second state (i.e., state 2-2).

[0193] Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 2B or FIG. 2C, in the case that the terminal in the first state does not satisfy the first criterion (Not fulfilling Rel19 relaxation criteria1 for case1), the second transceiver (e.g., MR) can be woken up for measurement, and then switched between the second state, the third state, and the fourth state according to the measurement result. For example, the terminal is switched from the first state to the second state when the first criterion is not satisfied and the second criterion is satisfied in the first state; or the terminal is switched from the second state to the third state when the second criterion is not satisfied (Not fulfilling Rel19 relaxation criteria3 for case3) and the third criterion is satisfied in the second state; or the terminal is switched from the third state to the fourth state when the third criterion is not satisfied (Not fulfilling Rel-16 / Rel-17 relaxation criteria) in the third state. Here, the step-by-step transition from the first state to the second state, from the second state to the third state, and from the third state to the fourth state is realized.

[0194] That is, the terminal switches to the second state if the second criterion is met and the second state is supported; or, determines whether the third criterion is met and whether the third state is supported if the second criterion is not met and / or the second state is not supported, and switches to the third state if the third criterion is met and the third state is supported; or, switches to the fourth state if the third criterion is not met and / or the third state is not supported.

[0195] For example, the terminal switches from the first state to the second state if the first criterion is not met in the first state, and the second criterion is met and the second state is supported; or, determines whether the third criterion is met and whether the third state is supported if the second criterion is not met and the second state is not supported, and switches from the first state to the third state if the third criterion is met and the third state is supported, or switches from the first state to the fourth state if the third criterion is not met and / or the third state is not supported. Here, a cross-level transition from the first state to the third state, or from the first state to the fourth state, is implemented.

[0196] For example, as shown in FIG. 2B or FIG. 2C, the state of the terminal can also transition from right to left step by step; for example, the terminal switches from the fourth state to the third state if the third criterion is met in the fourth state; or, the terminal switches from the third state to the second state if the second criterion is met in the third state; or, the terminal switches from the second state to the first state if the first criterion is met in the second state.

[0197] In some embodiments, the terminal switches to one of the third state and the fourth state if the terminal is in the second state and the second criterion is not met.

[0198] Optionally, the terminal switches to the third state if the terminal is in the second state and the second criterion is not met, and the third criterion is met and the third state is supported.

[0199] Optionally, the terminal switches to the fourth state if the terminal is in the second state and the second criterion is not met, and the third criterion is not met and / or the third state is not supported. Here, the terminal switches from the second state to the fourth state; or, the terminal switches from the second state to the third state, and the third state switches to the fourth state.

[0200] For example, as shown in FIG. 2B or FIG. 2C, in a case that the terminal does not fulfill the second criteria in the second state, the terminal can wake up the second transceiver for measurement, and switch between the third state and the fourth state according to the measurement result. For example, the terminal switches from the second state to the third state when the terminal does not fulfill the second criteria in the second state and fulfills the third criteria; or the terminal switches from the third state to the fourth state when the terminal does not fulfill the third criteria in the third state. Here, the step-by-step transition from the second state to the third state and from the third state to the fourth state is implemented.

[0201] That is, the terminal switches from the second state to the third state when the terminal fulfills the third criteria and supports the third state; or switches from the third state to the fourth state when the terminal does not fulfill the third criteria and / or does not support the third state.

[0202] For example, the terminal switches from the second state to the third state when the terminal fulfills the third criteria and supports the third state in a case that the terminal does not fulfill the second criteria in the second state; or switches from the second state to the fourth state when the terminal does not fulfill the third criteria and / or does not support the third state. Here, the cross-step transition from the second state to the fourth state is implemented.

[0206] For example, as shown in FIG. 2B, in a case that the terminal is in the first state and performs the wake-up signal (LP-WUS) listening, the terminal can wake up the second transceiver for measurement, and switch between the third state and the fourth state according to the measurement result. For example, the terminal switches from the first state to the third state when the terminal does not fulfill the second criteria in the first state and fulfills the third criteria; or the terminal switches from the first state to the fourth state when the terminal does not fulfill the third criteria in the first state.

[0207] That is, the terminal switches from the first state to the third state if the third criterion is met and the third state is supported; or switches from the first state to the fourth state if the third criterion is not met and / or the third state is not supported.

[0208] In some embodiments, the terminal switches from the first state to one of the second-type second state, the third state and the fourth state if the terminal is in the first state and the first transceiver is listening and the wake-up signal is detected.

[0209] Optionally, the terminal switches from the first state to the second-type second state (e.g., state 2-2) if the second criterion is met and the second-type second state is supported, if the terminal is in the first state and the first transceiver is listening and the wake-up signal is detected.

[0210] Optionally, the terminal determines whether the third criterion is met and whether the third state is supported, and switches from the first state to the third state if the third criterion is met and the third state is supported, if the terminal is in the first state and the first transceiver is listening and the wake-up signal is detected, and if the second criterion is not met and the second state is not supported.

[0211] Optionally, the terminal switches from the first state to the fourth state if the third criterion is not met and / or the third state is not supported, if the terminal is in the first state and the first transceiver is listening and the wake-up signal is detected.

[0212] For example, the terminal switches from the first state to the second state (e.g., state 2-2) if the first criterion is not met and the second criterion is met in the first state; or switches from the first state to the third state if the second criterion is not met and the third criterion is met in the first state; or switches from the first state to the fourth state if the third criterion is not met in the first state.

[0213] That is, the terminal switches from the first state to the second state if the second criterion is met and the second state is supported; or makes a decision to switch from the first state to the third state if the second criterion is not met and / or the second state is not supported, and switches from the first state to the third state if the third criterion is met and the third criterion is supported. Optionally, the terminal switches from the third state to the fourth state or switches from the first state to the fourth state if the third criterion is not met and / or the third state is not supported.

[0214] In some embodiments, the terminal switches from the second state to one of the third state and the fourth state if the terminal is in the second state and the first transceiver is listening.

[0215] Optionally, the terminal switches from the first type of second state to one of the third state and the fourth state if the terminal is in the first type of second state, the first transceiver is listening and the wake-up signal is detected.

[0216] Optionally, the terminal switches from the second type of second state to one of the third state and the fourth state if the terminal is in the second type of second state and the second transceiver is listening for the paging message.

[0277] In some embodiments, different information units of the first information are used to indicate the criteria for entering different states, or different bits of a same information unit of the first information are used to indicate the criteria for entering different states.

[0278] In some embodiments, the states comprise one of: a first state, wherein the first state is a state that a first transceiver of the terminal is in an open state and performs monitoring of a wake-up signal, and a second transceiver of the terminal is in a dormant state; a second state, wherein the second state is a state that the first transceiver is in an open state and the second transceiver is in an active state; a third state, wherein the third state is a state that the first transceiver does not perform monitoring of the wake-up signal, and the second transceiver is in the active state; and a fourth state, wherein the fourth state is a state that the second transceiver is in the active state.

[0279] In some embodiments, the second state comprises one of the following: a first type of second state, wherein the first type of second state is a state of using the first transceiver for the wake-up signal monitoring and not using the second transceiver for the paging message monitoring; and a second type of second state, wherein the second type of second state is a state of not using the first transceiver for the wake-up signal monitoring and using the second transceiver for the paging message monitoring.

[0282] The above embodiments can be implemented individually or in combination with each other, and optional implementation manners can refer to the optional implementation manners of the steps of FIG. 2A, which are not described herein again.

[0283] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an information processing method comprising the following:

[0284] Embodiment one: the terminal determines the behavior and conversion relationship of the terminal in different power saving modes.

[0285] Optionally, the different node modes can be different states in the previous embodiments; and the behavior and conversion relationship of the terminal in the different node modes can be the behavior and switching of the terminal in the different states; the behavior comprises at least one of the following: the first transceiver and / or the second transceiver opening or closing behavior, the listening paging message or wake-up message behavior, the measurement behavior, and the like.

[0286] Optionally, the different states comprise at least one of the following:

[0287] First state (case 1): the first transceiver (e.g. low power transceiver) is on, the first transceiver performs the listening of the wake-up signal (LP-WUS) and the measurement of the serving cell; the second transceiver (e.g. main transceiver) is in sleep state, and the second transceiver stops the listening of the paging message and stops the measurement of the serving cell and / or neighbor cell; the serving cell can be referred to as the current cell.

[0288] The first state is also referred to as case 1, in which the main transceiver measurement is fully offloaded to the low power transceiver (Fully offload scenario).

[0289] Second state (case 3): the first transceiver is on, and the first transceiver performs the measurement of the serving cell; the second transceiver is in active state, and the second transceiver is in relaxed measurement state (e.g. relaxed state 1) for the serving cell and / or neighbor cell. The second state can include a first type of second state (state 2-1) and a second type of second state (e.g. state 2-2). The protocol specifies that the terminal supports the first type of second state (state 2-1) and the second type of second state (e.g. state 2-2).

[0290] The second state is also referred to as case 3, in which the main transceiver measurement is partially offloaded to the low power transceiver (partial offload scenario).

[0291] Because the low power transceiver is considered for whether to listen to the wake-up signal, there are two different sub-states.

[0292] For example, state 2-1: the first transceiver performs the listening of the LP-WUS, and the second transceiver does not perform the listening of the paging message.

[0293] For example, state 2-2: the first transceiver does not perform the listening of the LP-WUS, and the second transceiver performs the listening of the paging message.

[0294] Third state: the first transceiver does not perform the listening of the LP-WUS, and the first transceiver performs or does not perform the measurement of the serving cell; the second transceiver is in active state, and the second transceiver is in relaxed measurement state (e.g. relaxed state 2) for the serving cell and / or neighbor cell.

[0295] Fourth state: the second transceiver is in active state, and the second transceiver is in non-relaxed measurement state for the serving cell and / or neighbor cell.

[0296] Embodiment two: the terminal determines which state the terminal is in according to the criteria issued by the network device (e.g. base station) and / or the capability supported by the terminal. Optionally, the capability supported by the terminal refers to the capability of the terminal to support a certain state.

[0297] Optionally, the network device defines different criteria for the terminal to enter each state respectively; for example, the following at least one criterion is defined:

[0298] The criterion for entering the first state can be the first criterion (Rel19 criteria1); the first criterion can be based on the first transceiver not being at cell edge or low mobility, and / or based on the second transceiver not being at cell edge or low mobility (for example, Rel19 criteria1: not at cell edge / low mobility from MR and additionally not at cell edge / low mobility from LR).

[0299] The criterion for entering the second state can be the second criterion (Rel19 criteria3); the second criterion can be based on the first transceiver not being at cell edge or low mobility, and / or based on the second transceiver not being at cell edge or low mobility (for example, Rel19 criteria3: not at cell edge / low mobility from MR and additionally not at cell edge / low mobility from LR). Optionally, the criterion for entering the second state is: based on the second transceiver not being at cell edge or low mobility (for example, Rel19 criteria3: not at cell edge / low mobility from MR).

[0300] For example, the criterion for entering the first state is more stringent, i.e. the first criterion (for example, Rel19 criteria1) is more stringent than the second criterion (for example, Rel19 criteria3).

[0301] For example, the signal quality threshold of the first criterion is higher than the signal quality threshold of the second criterion, and / or the signal quality threshold of the second criterion is higher than the signal quality threshold of the third criterion; and / or the signal quality change amplitude of the first criterion is smaller than the signal quality change amplitude of the second criterion, and / or the signal quality change amplitude of the second criterion is smaller than the signal quality change amplitude of the third criterion. Because the change amplitude is compared with the fluctuation change amplitude threshold of the signal in a period of time, at this time the network can configure a longer decision time and a smaller amplitude threshold to facilitate comparison.

[0302] For example, the first criterion can consider both the criterion based on the first transceiver not being at the cell edge or low mobility and the criterion based on the second transceiver not being at the cell edge or low mobility. The second criterion can be based on the second transceiver not being at the cell edge or low mobility; that is, the second criterion can not use the measurement result of the first transceiver.

[0303] For example, the criterion configured by the network device for the terminal to enter the first state is that the signal quality of the second transceiver of the terminal satisfies the threshold of the signal quality good criterion, which is necessarily higher than a specified threshold. The specified threshold includes at least: an intra-frequency level threshold (SIntraSearchP), an intra-frequency measurement signal quality threshold (SIntraSearchQ), an inter-frequency or inter-system level threshold (SnonIntraSearchP), and an inter-frequency or inter-system measurement signal quality threshold (SnonIntraSearchQ). That is, the RSRP of the second transceiver of the terminal is higher than the intra-frequency level threshold (SIntraSearchP), and the RSRQ is optionally higher than the intra-frequency level threshold (SIntraSearchQ) to stop the intra-frequency neighbor cell measurement. The RSRP of the second transceiver of the terminal is higher than the inter-frequency level threshold (SnonIntraSearchP), and the RSRQ is optionally higher than the inter-frequency level threshold (SnonIntraSearchQ) to stop the inter-frequency neighbor cell measurement.

[0304] For example, the criterion configured by the network device for the terminal to enter the first state is that the threshold of the signal quality good criterion is necessarily higher than a specified threshold. The intra-frequency level threshold (SIntraSearchP), the intra-frequency measurement signal quality threshold (SIntraSearchQ), the inter-frequency or inter-system level threshold (SnonIntraSearchP), and the inter-frequency or inter-system measurement signal quality threshold (SnonIntraSearchQ) in the first criterion are respectively higher than the intra-frequency level threshold (SIntraSearchP), the intra-frequency measurement signal quality threshold (SIntraSearchQ), the inter-frequency or inter-system level threshold (SnonIntraSearchP), and the inter-frequency or inter-system measurement signal quality threshold (SnonIntraSearchQ) in the second criterion.

[0305] Optionally, the terminal determines the state in which the terminal is based on at least one criterion sent by the network device.

[0306] For example, if the network device sends one criterion, the terminal determines whether the criterion is satisfied, and if it is satisfied, the terminal is determined to be in the state corresponding to the criterion.

[0307] For example, if the network device sends at least two criteria, e.g., sends a first criterion and a second criterion, and the terminal satisfies the first criterion and the second criterion, the terminal determines (or decides) the state in which the terminal is located. For example, the terminal determines that the state in which the terminal is located is a first state corresponding to the first criterion or a second state corresponding to the second criterion. For another example, the terminal selects a more relaxed state, e.g., selects the first state corresponding to the first criterion.

[0308] For example, the terminal determines the state in which the terminal is located based on at least one of whether the terminal supports the state and whether the network device configures the criterion of the state. Optionally, if the network device does not configure the criterion of the state, the terminal does not need to determine (or decide) whether the terminal is in the state.

[0309] For example, if the network device broadcasts a first criterion, the terminal determines whether the first criterion is satisfied based on whether the terminal supports a first state, and if so, determines that the terminal is in the first state, and if not, determines that the terminal is not in the first state.

[0310] For example, if the network device broadcasts a second criterion, the terminal determines whether the second criterion is satisfied based on whether the terminal supports a second state, and if so, determines that the terminal is in the second state, and if not, determines that the terminal is not in the second state.

[0311] For example, the network device can indicate the criteria of different states based on different information elements (IEs), e.g., indicates a first criterion (e.g., Rel19 criteria1) and a second criterion (e.g., Rel19 criteria3) through different IEs.

[0312] For example, the network device can indicate the criteria of different states based on the same IE; for example, indicates the first criterion when the IE is a first bit or a first value, or indicates the second criterion when the IE is a second bit or a second value.

[0313] Embodiment three: as shown in FIG. 2B, it is related to or if the terminal supports a second state of state 2-1, the switching (or conversion) relationship between states of the terminal.

[0314] Optionally, the terminal is in a first state (case 1) under one of the following conditions:

[0315] Case one:

[0316] In the first state, if the terminal is not fulfilling the first criteria (e.g. Not fulfilling Rel19 relaxion criteria1 for case1). That is, this case is usually because of the change of signal quality that causes the terminal not to fulfill the first criteria. At this time, the terminal wakes up the second transceiver (i.e. the main transceiver) for measurement; the terminal selects between the second state, the third state and the fourth state to determine the state the terminal is in.

[0317] For example, if the terminal is configured and fulfills the second criteria (e.g. Rel19 criteria3), and the terminal supports the second state (case3), the terminal determines to switch to the second state (i.e. the second transceiver enters the second state); or, if the terminal is not configured and / or does not fulfill the second criteria, and / or the terminal does not support the second state, the terminal switches to the third state. The third state can be considered as the traditional RRM measurement relaxation state.

[0318] Case two: Based on the wake-up signal (e.g. LP-WUS) listening. At this time, the terminal wakes up the second transceiver for measurement and paging message listening; the terminal selects between the third state and the fourth state to determine the state the terminal is in.

[0319] For example, the second transceiver of the terminal is on and synchronized paging monitoring, if the terminal is configured and fulfills the third criteria, and the terminal supports the third state, the terminal determines to be in the third state; or, if the terminal is not configured and / or does not fulfill the third criteria, and / or the terminal does not support the third state, the terminal switches to the fourth state. The fourth state can be considered as the non-RRM measurement relaxation state.

[0320] At this time, in the first state, if woken up by the LP-WUS, the terminal can only select between the third state and the fourth state to determine the state the terminal is in; and cannot select to the second state; because at this time the second state is also the low-power transceiver starting the LP-WUS listening state;

[0321] Optionally, the terminal is in the second state 2-1 (case3) and meets one of the following conditions (here the second transceiver does not sleep, but is in a relaxed measurement state, so it does not need to be woken up).

[0322] Case three:

[0323] In the second state, if the terminal is not fulfilling the second criteria (e.g. Not fulfilling Rel19 relaxion criteria3 for case3). That is, this case is usually because of the change of signal quality that causes the terminal not to fulfill the second criteria. At this time, the second transceiver performs measurement; the terminal selects between the third state and the fourth state to determine the state the terminal is in.

[0324] For example, the terminal determines to switch to the third state if the terminal is configured and fulfills the third criteria (e.g. RRM relaxion criteria), and the terminal supports the third state; or, the terminal switches to the fourth state if the terminal is not configured and / or does not fulfill the third criteria, and / or the terminal does not support the third state.

[0325] Case four:

[0326] Based on the wake-up signal (e.g. LP-WUS) monitoring. At this time, the second transceiver performs the measurement and the paging message monitoring; the terminal selects between the third state and the fourth state to determine the state of the terminal.

[0327] For example, the terminal’s second transceiver first synchronizes and prepares for paging monitoring, the terminal determines to be in the third state if the terminal is configured and fulfills the third criteria, and the terminal supports the third state; or, the terminal switches to the fourth state if the terminal is not configured and / or does not fulfill the third criteria, and / or the terminal does not support the third state.

[0328] It can be seen that compared with the first state wake-up to monitor the paging message, the second state (e.g. state 2-1) wake-up to monitor the paging message will be faster, because at this time the second transceiver does not sleep, but is initially in a relaxed measurement state, so it does not need to be awakened, but directly monitors the paging message after synchronization.

[0329] Embodiment four: as shown in FIG. 2C, it relates to the switching (or conversion) relationship between the states of the terminal if the terminal supports the second state of state 2-2.

[0330] Optionally, the terminal is in the first state (case 1) and meets one of the following conditions:

[0331] Case five:

[0332] In the first state, the first criteria are not met (e.g. Not fulfilling Rel19 relaxion criteria1 for case1). That is, this case is usually a change in signal quality that causes the terminal to not meet the first criteria. At this time, the terminal wakes up the second transceiver (i.e. the main transceiver) to perform the measurement; the terminal selects between the second state, the third state and the fourth state to determine the state of the terminal.

[0333] For example, the terminal determines to switch to the second state (i.e., the second transceiver enters the second state) if the terminal is configured and meets the second criteria (e.g., Rel19 criteria3), and the terminal supports the second state (case3); or, the terminal switches to the third state if the terminal is not configured and / or does not meet the second criteria, and / or the terminal does not support the second state. The third state can be considered as a traditional RRM measurement relaxation state.

[0334] Case six:

[0335] Based on the wake-up signal (e.g., LP-WUS) monitoring. At this time, the terminal wakes up the second transceiver for measurement and paging message monitoring; the terminal selects between the third state and the fourth state to determine the state of the terminal.

[0336] For example, the terminal determines to be in the second state if the terminal is configured and meets the second criteria, and the terminal supports the second criteria; or, the terminal determines to be in the third state if the terminal is configured and meets the third criteria, and the terminal supports the third state; or, the terminal switches to the fourth state if the terminal is not configured and / or does not meet the third criteria, and / or the terminal does not support the third state. The fourth state can be considered as a non-RRM measurement relaxation state.

[0337] Optionally, the terminal is in the second state (case3) and meets one of the following conditions (here the second transceiver does not sleep, but relaxes the measurement state, so it does not need to be awakened).

[0338] Case seven:

[0339] In the second state, the second criteria are not met (e.g., Not fulfilling Rel19 relaxation criteria3 for case3). That is, this case is usually caused by a change in signal quality, which causes the terminal to not meet the second criteria. At this time, the second transceiver performs measurement; the terminal selects between the third state and the fourth state to determine the state of the terminal.

[0340] For example, the terminal determines to switch to the third state if the terminal is configured and meets the third criteria (e.g., RRM relaxation criteria), and the terminal supports the third state; or, the terminal switches to the fourth state if the terminal is not configured and / or the third criteria, and / or the terminal does not support the third state.

[0341] Case eight:

[0342] Based on the wake-up signal (e.g., LP-WUS) monitoring. At this time, the second transceiver performs measurement and paging message monitoring; the terminal selects between the third state and the fourth state to determine the state in which the terminal is located.

[0343] For example, the second transceiver of the terminal first synchronizes and prepares to monitor paging, and the terminal determines that it is in the third state if it is configured and meets the third criterion and the terminal supports the third state; or, the terminal switches to the fourth state if it is not configured and / or does not meet the third criterion and / or the terminal does not support the third state.

[0344] It can be seen that, compared with the first state of waking up to monitor the paging message, the second state (state 2-2) of waking up to monitor the paging message will be faster, because at this time the second transceiver is not in sleep, but is initially relaxed in the measurement state, so it does not need to be awakened, but directly monitors the paging message after synchronization.
