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).

[0094] In some embodiments, a separate transceiver (low power wake-up receiver, LP-WUR) (LR-WUR is short for LR) is introduced to receive a power saving signal (e.g., low power Wakeup Signal, LP-WUS). For example, a UE in an idle state listens to a wake-up signal sent by a base station through a separate transceiver (e.g., a low power module). If the UE receives the wake-up signal, the UE will turn on the paging Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) listening function of the main transceiver (MR) (e.g., a main communication module); or if the UE does not receive the wake-up signal, the UE will not turn on the main transceiver.

[0095] In some embodiments, a UE supporting LP-WUR introduces a new measurement reference signal, such as a low power synchronization signal (LP-SS), and the LP-WUR performs measurements on the LP-SS to ensure synchronization. The UE in an idle state or inactive state can perform RRM measurements based on the serving cell of the LP-SS. At this time, the measurements of the MR can be fully offloaded to the LR (i.e., case 1), or partially offloaded to the LR (i.e., case 3), in which case the MR performs relaxed measurements. The cases in which the MR performs relaxed measurements are shown in Table 1.

[0096] Table 1

[0097] In some embodiments, the wake-up delay for waking up the second transceiver (i.e., the MR) to listen for paging messages after the terminal receives a wake-up signal in case 1 (case1) is defined: the minimum gap time between LP-WUS reception and MR to start PDCCH monitoring (i.e., Definition of wake-up delay: Minimum gap time between LP-WUS reception and MR to start PDCCH monitoring).

[0098] Optionally, the delay includes the sum of the following two parts: a climbing delay and a delay for performing synchronization; the climbing delay is the delay required to power up the MR, such as including the delay for starting or booting and loading memory.

[0099] For example, the ramp-up time delay can include MR hardware coordination (e.g., boot, memory load, etc.) time delay (i.e., Ramp-up time may consist of the procedure for [main radio hardware tune on e.g, boot, memory load and etc.]); the time for sync / re-sync consists of the procedure for [main radio to re-synchronization with the serving gNB etc.].

[0100] The sum of the MR transition from ultra-deep sleep state to active / micro sleep state is: ramp-up time delay, and the time for sync / re-sync.

[0101] However, for the case 3 scenario, if the LR is used to monitor the wake-up signal (LP-WUS), the terminal may receive a wake-up signal, and the wake-up time delay of the terminal to wake up the MR to monitor the paging message may be different from the wake-up time delay of the case 1, so the MR is already in an on state at this time. Therefore, it is necessary to redefine the time delay (i.e., the wake-up time delay) of the terminal in the case 3 scenario.

[0102] In some embodiments, the UE can be a terminal, or the terminal can be a UE.

[0103] As shown in FIG. 2, the embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an information processing method for an information processing system 100, and the method includes:

[0104] In step S2101, the terminal determines the capability supported by the terminal.

[0105] In some embodiments, the capability includes at least one of the following: a first capability and a second capability; the first capability refers to the capability of the state; and the second capability refers to the capability supported in the state.

[0106] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the capability of the terminal in different states. Here, the capability is the first capability.

[0107] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the capability supported by the terminal in different states. Here, the capability is the second capability.

[0108] Optionally, the state that the terminal is in refers to a state of whether the first transceiver and / or the second transceiver of the terminal is turned on.

[0109] Optionally, the first transceiver is configured to receive a wake-up signal, and the wake-up signal is configured to wake up the second transceiver of the terminal.

[0110] Optionally, the wake-up signal can be any 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 power saving downlink control information (DCP) signal. The name of the wake-up signal is not limited, for example, it can be a low-power power saving signal, a low-power wake-up signal, etc.

[0111] Optionally, the first transceiver can be a separate transceiver; and / or, the second transceiver can be a main transceiver.

[0112] Optionally, 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.

[0113] Optionally, the power consumption of the first transceiver is less than the power consumption of the second transceiver. The power consumption of the first transceiver is less than the power consumption of the second transceiver can mean 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 the power consumed by the second transceiver for decoding the same signal.

[0114] Optionally, the structure of the first transceiver is relatively simple compared to the structure of the second transceiver.

[0115] Optionally, the first transceiver can be a first receiver; and / or, the second transceiver can be a second receiver.

[0116] Optionally, the first transceiver is a secondary transceiver; and the second transceiver is a main transceiver. The secondary transceiver is configured to assist the main transceiver in receiving and / or transmitting information.

[0117] Optionally, the state includes at least one of the following: a first state, a second state, a third state, and a fourth state. The first state can be the state of case 1 in the previous embodiment; and the second state can be the state of case 3 in the previous embodiment. Here, the first state, the second state, the third state, and / or the fourth state can be considered as the state in the non-connected state.

[0118] 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.

[0119] For example, the first state is a state in which the first transceiver of the terminal is in an on state, and the second transceiver of the terminal is in a dormant state.

[0120] For example, the second state is a state in which the first transceiver of the terminal is in an on state, and the second transceiver of the terminal is in an active state.

[0121] For example, the third state is a state in which the second transceiver of the terminal is in an active state. In the third state, the first transceiver does not perform monitoring of the wake-up signal, and / or the first transceiver performs or does not perform serving cell measurement.

[0122] For example, the fourth state is a state in which the second transceiver of the terminal is in an active state.

[0123] For example, when the terminal supports the first state, the terminal further supports at least one of the following capabilities: performing monitoring of the wake-up signal using the first transceiver, performing serving cell measurement using the first transceiver, stopping monitoring of the paging message using the second transceiver, and stopping performing serving cell and / or neighbor cell measurement using the second transceiver.

[0124] For example, when the terminal supports the first type of second state, the terminal further supports at least one of the following capabilities: performing monitoring of the wake-up signal using the first transceiver, not performing monitoring of the paging message using the second transceiver, and performing serving cell measurement using the first transceiver.

[0125] For example, when the terminal supports the second type of second state, the terminal further supports at least one of the following capabilities: not performing monitoring of the wake-up signal using the first transceiver, performing monitoring of the paging message using the second transceiver, and performing serving cell and / or neighbor cell measurement using the second transceiver.

[0126] For example, when the terminal supports the third state, the terminal further supports at least one of the following capabilities: not performing monitoring of the wake-up signal using the first transceiver, performing or not performing serving cell measurement using the first transceiver, and performing serving cell and / or neighbor cell measurement using the second transceiver.

[0127] For example, when the terminal is in the fourth state, the terminal further supports the capability of performing serving cell and / or neighbor cell measurement using the second transceiver.

[0128] Optionally, the first capability supported by the terminal can be one of the following: a capability of supporting the first state, a capability of supporting the second state, a capability of supporting the third state, and a capability of supporting the fourth state.

[0129] Optionally, the second capability supported by the terminal can be at least one of the following: a capability of supporting monitoring of the wakeup signal using the first transceiver, a capability of supporting serving cell measurement using the first transceiver, a capability of supporting monitoring of the paging message using the second transceiver, and a capability of supporting measurement of the serving cell and / or a neighbor cell using the second transceiver.

[0130] Optionally, the second capability supported by the terminal can be at least one of the following: a capability of supporting monitoring of the wakeup signal using the first transceiver, a capability of supporting serving cell measurement using the first transceiver, a capability of supporting monitoring of the paging message using the second transceiver, and a capability of supporting measurement of the serving cell and / or a neighbor cell using the second transceiver.

[0131] Optionally, the states can include at least one of the following: the first state of the connected state, and the second state of the connected state.

[0132] For example, the first state of the connected state is a state of monitoring PDCCH using LP-WUS. At this time, the LP-WUS is configured before the on duration of DRX, and when the terminal is in the first state of the connected state, the terminal can further support the following capability: determining whether to start monitoring the on duration of DRX after the terminal according to whether the wakeup signal is detected in the LP-WUS.

[0133] For example, the second state of the connected state is a state of monitoring PDCCH using LPP-WUS. At this time, the LP-WUS is configured outside the DRX active time, and when the terminal is in the second state of the connected state, the terminal can further support the following capability: determining whether to start monitoring the active duration of DRX after the terminal according to whether the wakeup signal is detected in the LP-WUS. Here, the active duration can be a newly defined timer or a non-active timer. The timer corresponding to the active duration will be restarted when a new transmission of downlink control information (DCI) is received, and the purpose is to extend the active duration. The on duration timer of the long and / or short period DRX will not be started or will not be used for PDCCH monitoring; the on duration of the long and / or short period DRX will be used for reporting channel state information (CSI) based on network device configuration.

[0134] Optionally, the name of the first capability is not limited, which is, for example, a state capability or the like.

[0135] Optionally, the name of the second capability is not limited, which is, for example, a paging monitoring capability or a measurement capability or the like.

[0136] In step S2102, the terminal determines a latency in different states supported by the terminal.

[0137] In some embodiments, the terminal determines a state in which the terminal is located, and determines a latency in the state in which the terminal is located. The latency is a wake-up latency.

[0138] In some embodiments, the terminal determines a wake-up latency of the second transceiver in different states of the terminal.

[0139] Optionally, the terminal determines a second latency of the terminal in the first state.

[0140] Optionally, the terminal determines a first latency of the terminal in the second state. For example, the terminal determines a first latency of the terminal in a first type of second state (i.e., a first sub-state).

[0141] For example, the terminal determines a first latency of the terminal in the first type of second state, which is different from a second latency of the terminal in the first state.

[0142] For example, the first latency is different from the second latency; the first latency does not include a latency of switching the second transceiver from off to on, and the second latency includes a latency of switching the second transceiver from off to active. Since in the first type of second state, the second transceiver is already in the on state. For example, the first latency does not include a first climb latency; and the second latency includes a second climb latency.

[0143] For example, the first latency is determined based on a sum of the second latency and an offset value, or the first latency is determined based on a difference between the second latency and the offset value.

[0144] For example, the first latency does not include a first climb latency and the first latency includes a first synchronization latency, the first climb latency includes a latency of starting and performing memory loading of the second transceiver, and the first synchronization latency is a latency of re-synchronizing the second transceiver with the network device.

[0145] For example, the second latency includes a second climb latency and a second synchronization latency. Here, the first climb latency can be the climb latency in the previous embodiments, and the second synchronization latency can be the synchronization or re-synchronization latency in the previous embodiments.

[0146] For example, the first latency and the second latency are both wake-up latencies.

[0147] Optionally, the offset value is a protocol agreement or a network device configuration.

[0148] Optionally, the offset value is an arbitrary value, or the offset value is less than or equal to a predetermined value.

[0149] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the time delay of the terminal in different states according to a protocol agreement.

[0150] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the time delay of the terminal in different states according to whether the second transceiver listens to the paging message.

[0151] In some embodiments, the terminal configures the time delay of the terminal in different states.

[0152] S2103, the terminal sends first information to the network device.

[0153] In some embodiments, the network device receives the first information sent by the terminal.

[0154] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate at least one of the following: the capability of the terminal supporting different states; and the time delay of the terminal supporting different states. Optionally, the state is the state in some embodiments.

[0155] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate at least one of the following: the first capability supported by the terminal; the second capability supported by the terminal; and the time delay of the terminal supporting different states. Here, the first information can be used to indicate that the terminal is in at least one of the following: the time delay of the terminal in the first state in the non-connected state, the time delay of the terminal in the second state in the non-connected state, the time delay of the terminal in the third state in the non-connected state, and the time delay of the terminal in the fourth state in the non-connected state.

[0156] In some embodiments, the name of the first information is not limited, which is, for example, a first message or capability indication information or a first capability indication information or a second capability indication information or a state indication information or a time delay indication information or a wake-up time delay indication information, etc.

[0157] For example, the first capability supported by the terminal is the capability of the terminal supporting different states.

[0158] For example, the second capability supported by the terminal is the capability of the terminal supporting different states.

[0159] For example, the first information is used to indicate that the terminal supports the first state, and also supports at least one of the following capabilities: using the first transceiver to listen to the wake-up signal, using the first transceiver to perform the serving cell measurement, stopping using the second transceiver to listen to the paging message, and stopping using the second transceiver to perform the serving cell and / or neighbor cell measurement.

[0160] For example, the first information is used to indicate that the terminal supports the first type of second state, and further supports at least one of the following capabilities: using the first transceiver to perform the monitoring of the wake-up signal, not using the second transceiver to perform the monitoring of the paging message, and using the first transceiver to perform the measurement of the serving cell.

[0161] For example, the first information is used to indicate that the terminal supports the second type of second state, and further supports at least one of the following capabilities: not using the first transceiver to perform the monitoring of the wake-up signal, using the second transceiver to perform the monitoring of the paging message, and using the second transceiver to perform the measurement of the serving cell and / or the neighbor cell.

[0162] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate the capabilities supported by the terminal when the terminal supports the first state and the second state respectively.

[0163] Optionally, the first information is used to indicate that the terminal supports at least one of the following capabilities when the terminal supports the first state: the capability of the first transceiver to perform the monitoring of the wake-up signal, and the capability of the first transceiver to perform the measurement of the serving cell.

[0164] Optionally, the first information is used to indicate that the terminal supports at least one of the following capabilities when the terminal supports the second state: the capability of the first transceiver to perform the monitoring of the wake-up signal, and the capability of the first transceiver to perform the measurement of the serving cell, the capability of the second transceiver to perform the monitoring of the paging message, and the capability of the second transceiver to perform the measurement of the serving cell and / or the neighbor cell.

[0165] Optionally, the terminal sends the capabilities supported by the terminal when the terminal supports the first state and the capabilities supported by the terminal when the terminal supports the second state through different first information.

[0166] For example, the terminal sends a first first information and a second first information, the first first information is used to indicate the capabilities supported by the terminal when the terminal supports the first state, and the second first information is used to indicate the capabilities supported by the terminal when the terminal supports the second state.

[0167] Optionally, the terminal sends the capabilities supported by the terminal when the terminal supports the first state and the capabilities supported by the terminal when the terminal supports the second state through different information elements (IEs) of the first information.

[0168] For example, different information elements of the first information are used to indicate the capabilities of the terminal in different states.

[0169] For example, the terminal sends the first information, the first information includes a first information element and a second information element, the first information element is used to indicate the capabilities supported by the terminal when the terminal supports the first state, and the second information element is used to indicate the capabilities supported by the terminal when the terminal supports the second state.

[0170] The terminal sends the first information, and the first information includes a first information element, a second information element and a third information element. The first information element is used to indicate the supported capability of the terminal in the first state. The second information element is used to indicate the supported capability of the terminal in the first type of second state. The third information element is used to indicate the supported capability of the terminal in the second type of second state.

[0171] Optionally, the terminal indicates the supported capability of the terminal in different states through different bits of the same element in the first information.

[0172] The terminal sends the first information, and the first information includes a first information element. When the first information element is a first bit or a first value, it is used to indicate the supported capability of the terminal in the first state. Alternatively, when the first information element is a second bit or a second value, it is used to indicate the supported capability of the terminal in the second state.

[0173] The terminal sends the first information, and the first information includes a first information element. When the first information element is a first bit or a first value, it is used to indicate the supported capability of the terminal in the first state. Alternatively, when the first information element is a second bit or a second value, it is used to indicate the supported capability of the terminal in the first type of second state. Alternatively, when the first information element is a third bit or a third value, it is used to indicate the supported capability of the terminal in the second type of second state.

[0174] The terminal sends the first information, and the first information includes a first information element and a second information element. The first information element is used to indicate the supported capability of the terminal in the first state. When the second information element is a first bit or a first value, it is used to indicate the supported capability of the terminal in the first type of second state. Alternatively, when the second information element is a second bit or a second value, it is used to indicate the supported capability of the terminal in the second type of second state.

[0175] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate the commonly supported capability of the terminal in the first state and the second state, and the commonly supported capability includes at least one of the following: using the first transceiver to perform the monitoring of the wake-up signal, and using the first transceiver to perform the serving cell measurement.

[0176] If the first information is used to indicate the commonly supported capability, it can be determined that the terminal is in the first state or the first type of second state.

[0177] The commonly supported capability is a common capability. If the first information indicates the common capability supported by the terminal, it can be determined that the terminal is in the first state or the first type of second state.

[0178] In some embodiments, the capability indicated by the first information is per terminal. Thus, the first capability and / or the second capability supported by each terminal is different; for example, the first terminal supports the capability in the first state and / or the capability supported in the first state; the second terminal supports the capability in the second state and / or the capability supported in the second state.

[0179] In some embodiments, the capability indicated by the first information is per frequency band. Thus, the first capability and / or the second capability supported by the terminal of the cell corresponding to each frequency band is the same; for example, for a cell corresponding to a frequency band including the first terminal and the second terminal, the first terminal and the second terminal can both support the capability in the first state and / or the capability supported in the first state.

[0180] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate the first latency of the terminal in the first type of the second state.

[0181] Optionally, the first information is used to indicate that the first latency is less than the second latency, and the second latency is the latency in the first state.

[0182] Optionally, the first information is used to indicate that the first latency is determined based on a sum of the second latency and an offset value, or the first latency is determined based on a difference between the second latency and the offset value; wherein the offset value is agreed by a protocol or configured by a network device.

[0183] Optionally, the first information is used to indicate that the first latency does not include a first climbing latency and the first latency includes a first synchronization latency, the first climbing latency includes a latency of starting and performing memory loading by the second transceiver, and the first synchronization latency is a latency of re-synchronizing the second transceiver with the network device.

[0184] In some embodiments, when the first information is used to indicate the common supported capability of the terminal, the first information is also used to indicate that different states correspond to different latencies.

[0185] Optionally, when the first information is used to indicate the common supported capability of the terminal, the first information is also used to indicate that the first latency of the terminal in the first state and the second latency of the terminal in the second state are the same.

[0186] For example, a first information element of the first information indicates that the common supported capability of the terminal is at least one of: performing listening of the wake-up signal by the first transceiver, and performing serving cell measurement by the first transceiver; and a second information element of the first information indicates that the first latency of the first state and the second latency of the second state are the same, and indicates that the first latency and the second latency are both a first value.

[0187] In some embodiments, when the first information is used to indicate the common supported capability of the terminal, the first information is also used to indicate that different states correspond to the same latency.

[0188] Optionally, the first information is used to indicate that the common supported capability of the terminal is different between the first latency of the terminal in the first state and the second latency of the terminal in the second state.

[0189] For example, the first information unit of the first information indicates that the common supported capability of the terminal is at least one of: using the first transceiver to perform the monitoring of the wake-up signal, and using the first transceiver to perform the serving cell measurement; the second information unit of the first information indicates that the first latency of the terminal in the first state is different from the second latency of the terminal in the second state, and indicates that the first latency is a first value and the second latency is a second value.

[0190] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate that the terminal only supports the second latency in the first state.

[0191] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate that the terminal only supports the first latency in the first type of second state.

[0192] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate that the terminal supports the second latency in the first state and the first latency in the first type of second state.

[0193] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate that the terminal supports the second latency in the first state, and the first latency in the first type of second state is determined based on the second latency and an offset value.

[0194] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate that the terminal supports the first latency in the first type of second state, and the second latency in the first state is determined based on the first latency and an offset value.

[0195] For example, if the terminal only supports the first state, the terminal only reports the second latency in the first state.

[0196] For example, if the terminal only supports the second state (e.g., the first type of second state), the terminal only reports the first latency in the second state (e.g., the first type of second state). Here, since the second type of second state is based on the second transceiver to perform the monitoring of the paging message, the first transceiver is not used to perform the monitoring of the wake-up signal, and therefore there is no need to report the latency of the second type of second state.

[0197] For example, if the terminal supports the first state and the first type of second state, the terminal reports the second latency in the first state and the first latency in the first type of second state.

[0198] For example, if the terminal supports the first state and the first type of second state, the terminal reports the second latency in the first state, and the first latency in the first type of second state is determined based on the second latency and an offset value.

[0199] For example, if the terminal supports the first state and the first type of the second state, the terminal reports a first latency of the first type of the second state; and the second latency of the first state is determined based on the first latency and an offset value.

[0200] In some embodiments, the first information can further indicate at least one of the following: a capability of the first state in the connected state, a capability of the second state in the connected state, a latency of the first state in the connected state, and a latency of the second state in the connected state.

[0201] Optionally, the wake-up latency of the first state and the second state in the connected state can be common.

[0202] Optionally, the wake-up latency of the second state in the non-connected state can be agreed by a protocol to be one of the latencies of the use of the LP-WUS in the connected state. Because the wake-up of the second state in the non-connected state and the use of the LP-WUS in the connected state have certain commonality, because the main transceiver is not in sleep at this time, there is no need to consider the climbing latency.

[0203] Optionally, the capability reporting of the first state and the second state in the connected state can be separate or common, such as the capability of supporting the LP-WUS in the connected state. The separate reporting has the advantage of facilitating the base station to determine which PDCCH monitoring mode the terminal supports, and the base station is convenient to control. The common has the advantage of being simple for the terminal to implement.

[0204] Optionally, the terminal can report the same capability when reporting the capability information of the first state and the second state in the non-connected state as the use of the LP-WUS in the connected state.

[0205] Optionally, the terminal can report the same capability when reporting the capability information of the first state and the second state in the non-connected state as the use of the LP-WUS in the connected state (such as the support of the LP-WUS support capability); but report different wake-up latencies.

[0206] Optionally, the terminal can report the same capability (e.g., LP-WUS support capability) for the use of LP-WUS in the connected state and the reporting of the capability information for the first state and the second state in the non-connected state, and the wake-up delay of the second state in the non-connected state can be reported by reusing the reporting of the wake-up delay for the use of LP-WUS in the connected state. For example, the terminal reports the LP-WUS support capability, and reports the wake-up delay of 100 ms for the first state in the non-connected state, and reports multiple values of the wake-up delay in the connected state (e.g., x delay for subcarrier spacing 1, y delay for subcarrier spacing 2, z delay for subcarrier spacing 3, etc.). In this case, the wake-up delay of the second state in the non-connected state does not need to be reported again, and is agreed to be one of the values of the wake-up delay for the use of LP-WUS in the connected state. For example, if the subcarrier spacing of the initial bandwidth part (BWP) currently used by the terminal is 1, the x delay in the above list is reused.

[0207] In some optional embodiments, the terminal sends the first information under the precondition that the terminal has a single transceiver (e.g., a first transceiver) or the terminal supports a relaxed capability for measuring a neighbor cell, such as a capability of supporting a traditional radio resource management (RRM) measurement relaxation (e.g., Rel-16 / Rel-17 relaxation).

[0279] In step S5101, the terminal sends first information to a first network device.

[0280] Optional implementation manners of step S5101 can refer to optional implementation manners in step S2103 in FIG. 2, step S3103 in FIG. 3A, step S4101 in FIG. 4A, and other associated parts in the embodiments related to FIG. 2, FIG. 3A and FIG. 4A, which are not described herein again.

[0281] In step S5102, the first network device sends the first information to a second network device.

[0282] Optional implementation manners of step S5102 can refer to optional implementation manners in step S2104 in FIG. 2, step S4102 in FIG. 4A, and other associated parts in the embodiments related to FIG. 2 and FIG. 4A, which are not described herein again.

[0283] In some embodiments, the above method can include the method described in the above embodiments of the information processing system side, the terminal side, the network device side, etc., which are not described herein again.

[0284] The embodiment of the present disclosure relates to an information processing method, which includes:

[0285] Example 1: The terminal determines its support capabilities under specific power-saving conditions.

[0286] Optionally, the power-saving state can be the state in the previous embodiments; a specific power-saving state can be the first state and / or the second state (e.g., state 2-1) in the previous embodiments.

[0287] Optionally, in the disconnected state, the capabilities supported in different states may include at least one of the following:

[0288] First state (case 1, all unloaded scenario): The first transceiver (e.g., LR) is turned on, listens for the wake-up signal (LP-WUS), and measures the serving cell; the second transceiver (e.g., MR) is in sleep mode, and stops listening for paging messages and stops measuring the serving cell and / or neighboring cells; the serving cell can be referred to as the local cell.

[0289] Second state (case 3, partial offloading scenario): The first transceiver is turned on and performs measurements of the serving cell; the second transceiver is in an active state and is in a relaxed state (e.g., relaxed state 1) for the serving cell and / or neighboring cells. This second state can include a first type of second state (state 1-1) and a second type of second state (e.g., state 2-2).

[0290] For example, in state 2-1: the first transceiver listens for LP-WUS, while the second transceiver does not listen for paging messages.

[0291] For example, in state 2-2, the first transceiver does not listen for LP-WUS, while the second transceiver listens for paging messages.

[0292] Optionally, in the connected state, the capabilities supported in different states may include at least one of the following:

[0293] In the first state, the terminal uses LP-WUS to monitor the PDCCH in the connected state. At this time, LP-WUS is configured before the duration of DRX. The terminal decides whether to start monitoring the duration of DRX after that based on whether a wake-up signal is detected in LP-WUS.

[0294] In the second state, the terminal uses the LP-WUS for PDCCH monitoring in connected state; the LP-WUS is configured outside the active time of DRX, the terminal decides whether to start monitoring the active duration of DRX after the wake-up signal is detected in the LP-WUS; the active duration can be a newly defined timer or a non-active timer. The timer corresponding to the active duration will be restarted when a new DCI is received, and the purpose is to extend the active duration. The onduration timer of long and / or short period DRX will not start or will not be used for PDCCH monitoring. The onduration timer of long and / or short period DRX will be used for CSI reporting based on network device configuration.

[0295] Embodiment two: the terminal sends (or reports) the wake-up delay for the second state (state 2-1) to the network device. Optionally, the wake-up delay is the delay in the previous embodiment.

[0296] Optionally, the definition of the wake-up delay of state 2-1 can be as follows:

[0297] The wake-up delay of state 2-1 is different from the wake-up delay of the first state; for example, the wake-up delay of state 2-1 is less than the wake-up delay of the first state. Here, the wake-up delay of state 2-1 can be the first delay in the previous embodiment; the wake-up delay of the first state is the second delay in the previous embodiment. The second delay includes:

[0298] The second ramp-up delay, wherein the second ramp-up delay includes the time for the second transceiver to start and perform memory loading (Ramp-up time which consist of the procedure for main radio hardware tune on e.g, boot, memory load and etc.);

[0299] The second synchronization delay, wherein the second synchronization delay is the time for the second transceiver to re-synchronize with the network device (Time for sync / re-sync consists of the procedure for [main radio to re-synchronization with the serving gNB etc.).

[0300] The wake-up delay of state 2-1 can include the following characteristics:

[0301] The first ramp-up time is not included for case 3 to MR paging monitoring, where the first ramp-up time consists of the procedure for main radio hardware tune on, e.g., boot, memory load, and etc.

[0302] The first sync time is included for case 3 to MR paging monitoring, where the first sync time consists of the procedure for [main radio to re-synchronization with the serving gNB, etc.].

[0303] For the second state, the main radio is not in sleep state compared to the first state, so there is no need to power on the main radio as in the first state, and thus the first ramp-up time is not included, so the wake-up is faster.

[0304] For the second state, the main radio is not in sleep state compared to the first state, so there is no need to re-synchronize the main radio as in the first state, and thus the first sync time can be shorter than the second sync time, so the wake-up is faster.

[0305] The wake-up time for state 2-1 can be an offset added to or subtracted from the wake-up time for the first state; the offset can be a protocol agreement or network configuration.

[0306] Optionally, the wake-up time for the first state and the second state in the connected state can be common.

[0307] Optionally, the wake-up time for the second state in the non-connected state can be a protocol agreement for one of the values supported by the use of LP-WUS in the connected state. Because the wake-up of the second state in the non-connected state and the use of LP-WUS in the connected state have certain commonality, because the main radio is not in sleep at this time, and there is no need to consider the ramp-up time.

[0308] Embodiment three: the terminal sends (or reports) to the network device the capability supported by the terminal for the first state and the second state respectively.

[0309] Optionally, the terminal reports the capability supported by the terminal when in the first state and / or the second state.

[0310] Optionally, the granularity of the capability supported by the terminal can be per terminal or per band (e.g. only supported in some bands).

[0311] Optionally, the supported capability of the first state and the second state is indicated by different information elements (IEs) respectively.

[0312] Optionally, the terminal also reports the wake-up latency in different states; for example, including at least one of the following:

[0313] If the terminal only supports the first state, the terminal only reports the wake-up latency supported by the first state.

[0314] If the terminal only supports the second state, the terminal only reports the wake-up latency supported by the second state.

[0315] If the terminal supports the first state and the first type of second state, the terminal reports the wake-up latency supported by the first state and the wake-up latency supported by the second state.

[0316] If the terminal supports the first state and the first type of second state, the terminal reports the wake-up latency supported by the first state or the wake-up latency supported by the second state.

[0317] Optionally, if the terminal only reports the wake-up latency supported by the first state, the wake-up latency of the second state is determined based on the wake-up latency of the first state and an offset value; or, if the terminal only reports the wake-up latency supported by the second state, the wake-up latency of the first state is determined based on the wake-up latency of the second state and an offset value.

[0318] Optionally, for the first state and the second state in the connected state, the capability reporting can be separate or shared, such as the capability of supporting LP-WUS in the connected state. The benefit of separate reporting is that the base station can determine which PDCCH monitoring mode the terminal supports, and the base station can control conveniently. The benefit of shared reporting is that the terminal implementation is relatively simple.

[0319] Embodiment four: the terminal sends (or reports) to the network device the capability commonly supported by the terminal for the first state and the second state.

[0320] Optionally, the common supported capability can be at least one of: a capability of monitoring a wake-up signal using the first transceiver, a capability of performing serving cell measurement using the first transceiver. Here, the network device is aware of the full offloading capability of the terminal in the first state and the partial offloading capability of the terminal in the second state (e.g., state 2-1).

[0321] Optionally, the terminal reports a common supported capability for the first state and the second state (e.g., support of LP-WUS usage in non-connected state), but can carry different wake-up time delays for different states (if both states are supported, then the wake-up time delays of both states are carried). Compared with the previous scheme of using different capability signaling and time delay reporting, the signaling overhead is more saved.

[0322] Optionally, the terminal reports a common supported capability for the first state and the second state, but can carry the same wake-up time delay for different states (if both states are supported, then the wake-up time delays of both states are carried).

[0323] Optionally, the terminal can report the same capability as the support of LP-WUS usage in connected state when reporting the capability information for the first state and the second state in non-connected state.

[0324] Optionally, the terminal can report the same capability as the support of LP-WUS usage in connected state (e.g., support of LP-WUS support capability) when reporting the capability information for the first state and the second state in non-connected state; but different wake-up time delays are reported.

[0325] Optionally, the terminal can report the same capability as the support of LP-WUS usage in connected state (e.g., support of LP-WUS support capability) when reporting the capability information for the first state and the second state in non-connected state; and the wake-up time delay of the second state in non-connected state can reuse one report of the time delay reported for the support of LP-WUS usage in connected state. For example, the terminal reports the support of LP-WUS support capability, and reports the wake-up time delay of 100 ms in non-connected state from state 1, and reports multiple values of the wake-up time delay in connected state (e.g., x time delay in subcarrier spacing 1, y time delay in subcarrier spacing 2, z time delay in subcarrier spacing 3, etc.); at this time, the wake-up time delay of the second state in non-connected state does not need to be reported again, and is agreed to be one of the values of the time delay for the support of LP-WUS usage in connected state. For example, if the subcarrier spacing of the initial BWP where the terminal currently resides is 1, then the x time delay in the above list is reused.

[0326] Optionally, no matter how the terminal reports its support capability, the precondition for the terminal to report the support capability is that the terminal has a separate transceiver (e.g., the first transceiver) or relaxed capability for neighbor cell measurement, such as the capability of supporting traditional radio resource management (RRM) measurement relaxation (e.g., Rel-16 / Rel-17 relaxation).

[0327] For example, the precondition for the terminal to be in the first state and / or the second state is the capability of the terminal supporting LP-WUS listening or the capability of the terminal supporting measurement on low-power signals.

[0328] For example, the precondition for the terminal to be in the first state and / or the second state is the capability of the terminal supporting relaxed measurement of a neighbor cell in a non-connected state (e.g., RRC idle state or RRC inactive state).

[0329] Embodiment Five: The terminal sends first information to a network device (e.g., a base station), which can be delivered to a core network device or between base stations; the first information is the capability supported by the terminal and the wake-up delay in the state.

[0330] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, part or all of the steps, optional implementation manners thereof, can be combined with part or all of the steps in other embodiments, or can be combined with optional implementation manners of other embodiments.
