[0098] For the convenience of understanding, some contents related to the embodiments of the present application are explained as follows:

[0099] 1. Non-Internet of Things device integrated with ultra-low power consumption communication module

[0100] The ultra-low power consumption communication module is generally applied to terminals with high requirements on power consumption, complexity and endurance, such as Internet of Things terminals. An extended application scenario is to apply the ultra-low power consumption communication module to non-Internet of Things devices such as mobile phones, including terminals and network side devices. In this way, the device is equipped with both a main communication module and an ultra-low power consumption communication module. The main communication module has relatively high speed and spectrum efficiency, but also has relatively high power consumption. If it is turned on for a long time, it will reduce the endurance of the device, and is suitable for transmitting a large amount of data in a short time. The ultra-low power consumption communication module is the opposite, its speed and spectrum efficiency may be low, but its power consumption is very low, and is suitable for transmitting a small amount of data for a long time, or for monitoring control plane signaling to avoid or reduce the additional delay caused by discontinuous reception (DRX). Figure 2 shows a schematic diagram of information interaction between a terminal and a network side device equipped with a main communication module and an ultra-low power consumption communication module. The two devices interact information through the ultra-low power consumption communication module, and then interact information with the main communication module within the device, such as waking up the main communication module by the ultra-low power consumption communication module for further operation, etc.

[0101] Among them,

[0102] Main communication module: a module supporting traditional communication modes (such as 4G, 5G, etc.), for example, a module supporting OFDM communication (including uplink and / or downlink);

[0103] The extremely low power consumption communication module supports transmitting signals in a backscatter manner (such as Device A or Device B of Ambient IoT) or in a low power consumption self-generated carrier manner (such as Device C of Ambient IoT) and / or supports a low power consumption receiving module (such as a low power consumption wake-up receiver); optionally, the extremely low power consumption communication module can also support energy collection (from light, solar energy, wireless signals, etc.); for the backscatter signal transmission manner, the excitation source signal can be generated by the terminal itself or other devices.

[0104] It should be noted that the power consumption of the extremely low power consumption communication module is significantly lower than that of the main communication module, for example, the power consumption of the extremely low power consumption communication module is generally tens of microwatts to hundreds of microwatts, and the power consumption of the main communication module is generally tens of milliwatts to thousands of milliwatts; the cost of the extremely low power consumption communication module is also significantly lower than that of the main communication module.

[0105] For a non-IoT terminal such as a mobile phone, integrating an extremely low power consumption communication module on the basis of a traditional main communication module has some advantages, among which the main communication module has relatively high speed and spectral efficiency, but also relatively high power consumption, which will reduce the endurance of the device if it is turned on for a long time, and is suitable for transmitting a large amount of data in a short time; the extremely low power consumption communication module is the opposite, which has relatively low speed and spectral efficiency, but very low power consumption, and is suitable for transmitting a small amount of data for a long time or for monitoring control plane signaling to avoid or reduce additional latency caused by DRX. However, the main communication module and the extremely low power consumption communication module have significant differences in capabilities, which may result in differences in signaling understanding, data processing, and timing methods.

[0106] The transmission method, device and related equipment provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail in combination with some embodiments and application scenarios and the accompanying drawings.

[0107] Referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a transmission method provided by an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 3, the transmission method includes the following steps:

[0108] Step 101, the terminal determines a target receiving mode based on first information;

[0109] Step 102, the terminal receives a target channel or a target signal based on the target receiving mode;

[0110] The first information includes at least one of the following:

[0111] First indication information sent by a network side device;

[0112] at least one of an activated bandwidth part (BWP), a carrier, and a frequency band;

[0113] a power saving mode;

[0114] a timer;

[0115] a target rule predefined by a protocol or configured by a network side device;

[0116] feedback information of request information or indication information of the terminal;

[0117] a characteristic required to be used or supported by the terminal;

[0118] a key performance indicator (KPI) required to be used or supported by the terminal;

[0119] at least one working condition or KPI of at least one receiving mode, the at least one receiving mode including the target receiving mode;

[0120] a target event predefined by a protocol or configured by a network side device.

[0121] The target receiving mode (Rx mode) can also be expressed as a target communication mode, a target communication module, a target communication device, a target transmission mode, or a target power class, etc.

[0122] In an implementation, the terminal can determine the target receiving mode from a plurality of receiving modes based on the first information.

[0123] The plurality of receiving modes can also refer to receiving modes having obvious differences in one or more aspects such as frequency bands, rates, transmission waveforms, etc., can refer to different working parameters adopted by the same communication hardware module, or can be different communication modules. The plurality of communication modules can at least have an independent component in the physical layer, such as a radio frequency front end, an antenna, and a baseband, and can also not exclude the case that all devices are completely independent.

[0124] In an implementation, the target receiving mode includes only high-power device activation or deactivation, only low-power device activation or deactivation, and activation or deactivation of both high-power and low-power devices, etc.

[0125] In an implementation, the target receiving mode or target communication module can include at least one of a first module (such as high power or complexity) and a second module (such as low power or complexity).

[0126] The first module (or device) and the second module (or device) can be understood as a high-power device and a low-power device, or a high-power receiving mode (Rx mode) and a low-power receiving mode (Rx mode), or a high-power receiver and a low-power receiver, respectively.

[0127] In an embodiment, the terminal determines the target receiving mode, which can be understood or replaced as the target communication module being activated, the target communication module being activated, the target receiving mode being activated, or the target receiving mode being activated.

[0128] In an embodiment, the network side device (such as a base station) can carry or explicitly indicate the first indication information through at least one of the following: system information (such as Master Information Block (MIB), System Information Block (SIB) 1), dedicated Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, Medium Access Control (MAC) control element (Control Element, CE), Msg2, Msg4 or Downlink Control Information (DCI), Fallback Random Access Response (Random Access Response, RAR) information, and downlink wake-up signal (Wake-up signal, WUS) signal; and the terminal can determine the target receiving mode based on the first indication information.

[0129] In an embodiment, the network side device (such as a base station) can configure the association of the target receiving mode (Rx mode) to a BWP, a carrier (Carrier) or a frequency band (Band), and the terminal can determine the target receiving mode to be used based on the activated BWP, Carrier or Band.

[0130] Optionally, when the BWP, Carrier or Band switching involves a change of the target receiving mode, the switching time required for the BWP, Carrier or Band switching can be different from the switching time required when the target receiving mode is not changed.

[0131] In an embodiment, the network side device (such as a base station) can configure the association of the target receiving mode to an energy saving mode, and the terminal can determine the target receiving mode through the current energy saving mode.

[0132] For example, the energy saving mode includes a user equipment (UE) DRX, e.g., the UE DRX active time uses the target communication module 1 to receive the target signal or the target channel, and the inactive time uses the target communication module 2 to receive the target signal or the target channel.

[0133] For example, the energy saving mode includes a cell DRX or a discontinuous transmission (DTX), e.g., the cell DRX or the DTX active time uses the target communication module 1 to receive the target signal or the target channel.

[0134] In an implementation, the terminal can determine the target receiving mode based on a timer. The timer can be associated with at least one receiving mode. For example, a network side device (e.g., a base station) can configure a timer (Timer) for the target receiving mode 2 (or the target communication module 2) to use time, and when the terminal uses the target receiving mode 2 (or the target communication module 2), the Timer starts running; when the timer expires (Timer Expired), the terminal switches to the target receiving mode 1 (or the target communication module 1).

[0135] In an implementation, the terminal can determine the target receiving mode based on a target rule, which can be predefined by a protocol or configured by a network side device (e.g., a base station).

[0136] In the protocol predefined by the protocol, the protocol can refer to a communication protocol, e.g., a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) protocol.

[0137] In an implementation, the terminal can determine the target receiving mode based on feedback information of request information or indication information of the terminal. For example, the terminal can request or indicate the target receiving mode for receiving the target signal or the target channel through Msg1, Msg3, Msg physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), or sounding reference signal (SRS). For example, the terminal indicates that the network side device receives the target channel or the target signal in the target receiving mode, and the network side device sends feedback information to the terminal based on the request information of the terminal, and the terminal can receive the target channel or the target signal in the target receiving mode only after receiving the feedback information of the network side device.

[0138] In an embodiment, the terminal can determine the target reception mode based on features supported or required by the terminal. For example, the terminal can determine the reception mode (or communication module) that cannot be used and the reception mode (or communication module) that can be used according to the features supported or required by the terminal.

[0139] In an embodiment, the terminal can determine the target reception mode based on KPIs supported or required by the terminal. For example, the terminal can determine the reception mode (or communication module) that cannot be used and the reception mode (or communication module) that can be used according to the KPIs supported or required by the terminal.

[0140] In an embodiment, the terminal can determine the target reception mode based on the working conditions or KPIs of at least one reception mode. For example, the terminal can determine the reception mode (or communication module) that cannot be used and the reception mode (or communication module) that can be used according to the features or KPIs supported or required by the terminal and the working conditions or KPIs of at least one reception mode (or communication module).

[0141] For example, the terminal can determine the communication module that cannot be used and the communication module that can be used according to the features or KPIs supported or required by the terminal and / or the working conditions or KPIs of the (possible) communication module; for example, the terminal uses a low-power module to receive a downlink channel or a downlink signal when the terminal uses the NES feature.

[0142] In an embodiment, the terminal can determine the target reception mode based on target events (Events) predefined by a protocol or configured by a network-side device. The Events can be predefined by a protocol or configured by a network-side device (such as a base station), and the terminal determines the target reception mode for receiving a target channel or a target signal when the Events are satisfied. For example, each Event can be associated with a reception mode, and the reception modes associated with different Events can be the same or different. When the Events are satisfied, the terminal determines the target reception mode as the reception mode associated with the satisfied Event.

[0143] In an embodiment, the target channel or the target signal can include:

[0144] a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) or a control resource set (CORESET); for example, PDCCH reception in a random access (RA) search space;

[0145] a Msg2 or a RAR;

[0146] MsgB;

[0147] Msg4;

[0148] Other Common physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH); such as PDSCH of SIB1, or PDSCH of coordinating other system messages, or PDSCH of paging;

[0149] Channel state information reference signal (CSI Reference Signal, CSI-RS);

[0150] Demodulation reference signal (Demodulation Reference Signal, DMRS);

[0151] Positioning reference signal (Positioning Reference Signal, PRS).

[0152] In an embodiment, the target receiving mode can include a mode of receiving using a main communication module or a high power mode; or, the target receiving mode can include a mode of receiving using an ultra-low power consumption communication module or a low power mode. The mode of receiving using the main communication module can be understood as the high power mode; the mode of receiving using the ultra-low power consumption communication module can be understood as the low power mode.

[0153] It should be noted that the main communication module or the high power mode and the ultra-low power consumption communication module or the low power mode have significant capability differences, and the embodiment of the present application can realize the method of regulating the terminal to determine the target communication module or the target receiving mode of the downlink channel or signal when the terminal integrates the two modules or modes.

[0154] In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal determines a target receiving mode based on first information; the terminal receives a target channel or a target signal based on the target receiving mode; wherein the first information comprises at least one of the following: first indication information sent by a network side device; at least one of an activated bandwidth part (BWP), a carrier and a frequency band; an energy saving mode; a timer; a target rule predefined by a protocol or configured by the network side device; feedback information of request information or indication information of the terminal; a characteristic to be used or supported by the terminal; a key performance indicator (KPI) to be used or supported by the terminal; a working condition or a KPI of at least one receiving mode, wherein the at least one receiving mode comprises the target receiving mode; and a target event predefined by a protocol or configured by the network side device. In this way, the terminal can determine the target receiving mode for receiving the target channel or the target signal based on the first information, and the flexibility of the terminal in receiving the target signal or the target channel can be improved.

[0155] Optionally, the first indication information is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0156] the target receiving mode;

[0157] a target channel or a target signal matched with the target receiving mode;

[0158] switching to the target receiving mode;

[0159] a start time at which the target receiving mode takes effect;

[0160] a duration for which the target receiving mode takes effect;

[0161] an end time at which the target receiving mode takes effect;

[0162] a pattern of the time domain at which the target receiving mode takes effect.

[0163] In an implementation manner, the first indication information is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0164] indicating an applicable target channel or target signal;

[0165] indicating a target receiving mode (or a target communication module);

[0166] indicating switching of the target receiving mode (or the target communication module);

[0167] indicating a start time at which the indicated target receiving mode (or the target communication module) takes effect;

[0168] indicating a duration for which the indicated target receiving mode (or the target communication module) takes effect;

[0169] indicating an end time of the indicated target receiving mode (or the target communication module).

[0170] The indicated target reception mode (or target communication module) is in the pattern of time domain effective time / activation time, such as similar to cell DRX / DTX pattern.

[0171] In this embodiment, the terminal determines the target reception mode based on the first indication information sent by the network side device, and the terminal receives the target channel or target signal based on the target reception mode, which can ensure that the terminal receives the target signal or target channel in the best reception mode, thereby achieving the purpose of energy saving; further, it can avoid the terminal to receive the downlink channel or signal by default using the first module, which can reduce the terminal power consumption.

[0172] Optionally, the target rule determines the target reception mode based on at least one of the following:

[0173] The reception mode corresponding to the message Msg1, MsgA, Msg2, MsgB, Msg3 or Msg4;

[0174] The association relationship between the default reception mode and the target channel or target signal;

[0175] Whether Msg3, Msg1 or Msg4 is retransmitted or repeatedly transmitted;

[0176] The retransmission number or repeated transmission number of Msg3, Msg1 or Msg4;

[0177] Whether Msg2, MsgB or physical downlink control channel PDCCH is repeatedly transmitted or retransmitted;

[0178] The repeated transmission number or retransmission number of Msg2, MsgB or PDCCH;

[0179] The waveform, coding scheme or modulation type corresponding to different reception modes;

[0180] Downlink reference signal measurement result;

[0181] Whether the target channel or target signal is used for the fallback process in the two-step random access;

[0182] Whether the target channel or target signal is associated with initial physical random access channel PRACH transmission;

[0183] Connected Discontinuous Reception (C-DRX) pattern of the terminal;

[0184] Configuration of terminal measurement interval;

[0185] whether the terminal receives a fallback indication in the random access procedure;

[0186] a downlink reference signal or a group of reference signals for the terminal to select for random access;

[0187] a transmission reception point (TRP), a frequency, a frequency band, a sub-band, a carrier, or a synchronization raster for the terminal to select.

[0188] In an embodiment, the target reception mode (or target communication module) determined by the terminal is consistent with (or the same as) the target reception mode (or target communication module) of Msg1, MsgA, Msg2, MsgB, Msg3, or Msg4.

[0189] In an embodiment, the terminal determines to use a default reception mode (or communication module), for example, a default high-power consumption module is initially activated, or a default low-power consumption module is initially activated, or both the default high-power consumption module and the default low-power consumption module are initially activated.

[0190] In an embodiment, the target reception mode determined by the terminal is associated with whether Msg3, Msg1, or Msg4 is retransmitted or repeatedly transmitted. Whether Msg3, Msg1, or Msg4 is retransmitted or repeatedly transmitted can reflect channel conditions or reliability requirements. For example, in the case that the channel conditions can be relatively poor or the reliability requirements are relatively high, a reception mode that can provide higher reliability can be selected, and the reception of the target signal or the target channel can select a high-power consumption mode.

[0191] In an embodiment, the target reception mode determined by the terminal is associated with the number of times that Msg3, Msg1, or Msg4 is retransmitted or repeatedly transmitted. For example, there is a mapping relationship between the number of times that Msg3, Msg1, or Msg4 is retransmitted or repeatedly transmitted and the target reception mode. For example, if it is retransmitted only once, a low-power consumption mode can be used to receive the target signal or the target channel, and if the number of retransmissions is greater than or equal to 3, a high-power consumption mode can be used to receive the target signal or the target channel. For another example, when the number of times that Msg1 is repeatedly transmitted exceeds a certain threshold, a high-power consumption mode is used for the transmission of Msg4, and a high-power consumption module is used for the reception.

[0192] In one embodiment, the target reception mode determined by the terminal is associated with whether Msg2, MsgB or PDCCH is transmitted repeatedly or retransmitted, or the number of times of repeated transmission or retransmission. Whether Msg2, MsgB or PDCCH is transmitted repeatedly or retransmitted, or the number of times of repeated transmission or retransmission can reflect channel conditions or reliability requirements. For example, in the case of poor channel conditions or high reliability requirements, a reception mode that can provide higher reliability can be selected, and the reception of the target signal or target channel can select a high-power mode reception.

[0193] In one embodiment, the target reception mode determined by the terminal is associated with the difference in waveform, coding scheme or modulation type, etc. of each reception mode.

[0194] In one embodiment, the target reception mode determined by the terminal is associated with the downlink reference signal measurement result. The downlink reference signal measurement result can reflect the condition of the wireless channel, so that the most suitable target reception mode can be selected in subsequent transmission.

[0195] In one embodiment, the target reception mode determined by the terminal is associated with whether the target signal or target channel is in the fallback step of two-step random access. For example, the transmission of the target signal or target channel of the fallback step can use a high-power mode reception, and the fallback can mean that the channel condition is poor, and the subsequent transmission can select a reception mode with better reliability.

[0196] In one embodiment, the target reception mode determined by the terminal is associated with whether the target signal or target channel is associated with the initial Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) transmission; for example, the RAR (i.e. target channel or target signal) reception associated with the initial PRACH transmission uses the second module, otherwise, the first module is used.

[0197] In one embodiment, the target reception mode determined by the terminal is associated with the terminal C-DRX pattern (such as the active period or non-active period configuration). For example, each C-DRX pattern can correspond to a target reception mode.

[0198] In one embodiment, the target reception mode determined by the terminal is associated with the configuration of the terminal measurement gap. For example, the terminal measurement gap belonging to different intervals can correspond to different target reception modes.

[0199] In an embodiment, the target receiving mode determined by the terminal is associated with whether the terminal receives a backoff indicator in the random access procedure; for example, when the terminal receives the backoff indicator, it indicates that the current load is relatively high, and the Msg4 transmission can use high-power transmission, can use a high-power module for reception, can reduce the number of Msg4 retransmissions and repeated transmissions, and can save time-frequency resource usage.

[0200] In an embodiment, the target receiving mode determined by the terminal is associated with the downlink reference signal (such as a synchronization signal block (SSB) signal used to select a random access (RACH) resource) or reference signal group selected by the terminal; for example, for a random access corresponding to a specific reference signal group or SSB, the corresponding Msg2 or Msg4 uses a high-power module for transmission or reception; for a random access corresponding to another reference signal group, the corresponding Msg2 or Msg4 uses a low-power module for transmission or reception. Here, the corresponding beams and coverage conditions under different reference signal groups can be different, so that the terminal uses different receiving modes to receive Msg2 or Msg4, which can be more energy-efficient.

[0201] In an embodiment, the target receiving mode determined by the terminal is associated with a random access corresponding to at least one of a TRP, a frequency, a frequency band, a sub-band, a carrier, or a synchronization raster selected by the terminal; for example, for a random access corresponding to at least one of a specific TRP, a frequency, a frequency band, a sub-band, a carrier, or a synchronization raster, the reception of the corresponding downlink channel or signal uses a high-power module for communication; for a random access corresponding to another case, the reception of the corresponding downlink channel or signal uses a low-power module for communication. Here, the corresponding beams and coverage conditions under different TRPs, frequencies, frequency bands, sub-bands, carriers, or synchronization rasters can be different, so that the use of different receiving modes to receive the corresponding downlink channel or signal can achieve the best communication effect.

[0202] In this embodiment, the terminal determines a target receiving mode based on the above target rules, and the terminal receives a target channel or a target signal based on the target receiving mode, which can improve the flexibility of the terminal in receiving the target signal or the target channel; further, it can avoid the terminal continuously using a first module (a high-power module) to receive a downlink channel or a signal, which can reduce the power consumption of the terminal and achieve energy saving.

Optionally, the specific scheduling includes a scheduling PDCCH with a scheduling frequency domain unit number less than or equal to a certain value, a scheduling PDCCH with a transport block set (TBS) less than or equal to a certain value, etc. For example, when the terminal receives the target scheduling PDCCH, the corresponding PDSCH can be received by a low-power module.

[0210] In an embodiment, the target event can be that the average data rate of the terminal in an observation window satisfies a certain condition. When the target event is satisfied, the target receiving mode determined by the terminal is the receiving mode associated with the target event. For example, when the average data rate is greater than a certain value, the terminal can receive the target channel or target signal in a high-power mode.

[0211] In an embodiment, the target event can be that the average monitoring energy efficiency of the terminal in an observation window satisfies a certain condition. When the target event is satisfied, the target receiving mode determined by the terminal is the receiving mode associated with the target event.

[0212] In an embodiment, the target event can be that the reference signal measurement result of the terminal is greater than or less than a certain threshold value. When the target event is satisfied, the target receiving mode determined by the terminal is the receiving mode associated with the target event. For example, when the reference signal measurement result is greater than a certain value, the terminal can receive the target channel or target signal in a low-power mode.

[0213] In an embodiment, the target event can be that the power of the terminal satisfies a certain condition. When the target event is satisfied, the target receiving mode determined by the terminal is the receiving mode associated with the target event. For example, when the power is relatively high, the target channel or target signal can be received in a high-power mode; when the power is relatively low, the target channel or target signal can be received in a low-power mode.

[0214] In the embodiment, the terminal determines the target receiving mode based on the target event, receives the target channel or target signal based on the target receiving mode, and the flexibility of the terminal in receiving the target signal or target channel is improved; further, the terminal can avoid continuously receiving the downlink channel or signal by using the first module (high-power module), and the power consumption of the terminal is reduced, and energy saving is achieved.

[0324] a signal format of each transmission in the single transmission or the repeated transmission or the retransmission transmission, such as a cyclic prefix (CP) format or length, a subcarrier spacing (SCS), a transport block set (TBS), a DMRS configuration (such as a DMRS port, a DMRS pattern), a modulation and coding scheme (MCS), an extension sequence or a sequence set (if the transmission resource includes a code domain), a waveform, a transmission power (including an initial transmission power, a target transmission power, a power ramping step, and the like), and the like;

[0326] a correspondence between each transmission in the single transmission or the repeated transmission or the retransmission transmission and a target reception mode.

[0327] In this embodiment, the terminal receives multiple sets of fourth configuration information sent by the network side device, and the multiple sets of fourth configuration information are respectively associated with or correspond to multiple reception modes, so that the terminal can determine the fourth configuration information to be used according to the target reception mode.

[0328] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0329] The terminal determines the fourth configuration information to be used based on the target reception mode.

[0330] In this embodiment, the terminal determines at least one of the BWP configuration, the serving cell configuration, the transmission configuration of the uplink channel or the uplink signal, the reception configuration of the downlink channel or the downlink signal, the SR or BSR configuration, and the CSI reporting configuration based on the target reception mode, so that the above configurations are more suitable for the current reception mode of the terminal, and the effect of receiving the target channel or the target signal by the terminal can be improved.

[0331] The following is supplemented by several examples:

[0332] Example 1:

[0333] In this example, the determination of a target communication module or a target reception mode (Rx mode) for implementing the reception of a downlink channel or a downlink signal is implemented.

[0334] When the terminal supports at least two communication modules or Rx modes, the UE determines the Rx mode of the downlink channel / signal according to the network side indication. As shown in FIG. 4, the transmission method includes the following processes:

[0335] Step (1): The network side sends first information (such as first indication information) through a system message, and the first information indicates the target communication module or target Rx mode for receiving Msg2 and Msg4;

[0336] Step (2): The UE receives the first information;

[0337] Step (3): The UE receives Msg2 and Msg4 using the target communication module or target Rx mode based on the first information;

[0338] In some embodiments, the UE determines the target communication module or target Rx mode for receiving the downlink channel or signal according to the following rules:

[0339] Based on the default value specified by the protocol, such as receiving by default using the low-power module;

[0340] Based on whether Msg3, Msg1 or Msg4 is retransmitted or repeatedly transmitted; for example, if Msg1 is retransmitted, then Msg2 is received using the high-power module;

[0341] Based on the number of times of retransmission or repeated transmission of Msg3, Msg1 or Msg4; for example, when the number of times of retransmission of Msg1 is greater than a certain value, Msg2 is received using the high-power module;

[0342] Depending on the downlink reference signal measurement result; for example, when the reference signal measurement result is lower than a certain value, the high-power module is used for receiving the downlink signal or channel;

[0343] Indicated by the network side, which can be the current serving cell or other cells, neighboring cells; for example, Msg2 can indicate the target communication module or target Rx mode for receiving Msg4; or, Msg4 can indicate the target communication module or target Rx mode of PDCCH or CORESET; or, SIB1 or MIB can indicate the target communication module or target Rx mode for receiving Msg2 or Msg4

[0344] Requested by the UE or indicated by the UE; for example, the UE indicates in Msg1, Msg3, MsgA PUSCH or SRS that the low-power or high-power module will be used for receiving the downlink channel or downlink signal in the subsequent.

[0345] In this example, the terminal determines the target communication module or target Rx mode for downlink channel / signal reception based on network side indication or based on some events or decision conditions, which can effectively and reasonably allocate the time for UE to use high power consumption or low power consumption for downlink reception, thereby maximizing energy saving gain.

[0346] Example two:

[0347] In this example, the determination of the target communication module or target Rx mode for Msg2 or MsgB is implemented.

[0348] When the terminal supports at least two communication modules or Rx modes, the UE determines the Rx mode for Msg2 and MsgB according to some rules.

[0349] In some embodiments, the UE determines the target communication module or target Rx mode for receiving Msg2 or MsgB according to the following rules:

[0350] Based on the default value specified by the protocol, such as receiving by default using the low power consumption module; for example, for RAR corresponding to the initial PRACH transmission, receiving by using the low power consumption mode, otherwise receiving by using the high power consumption mode;

[0351] Consistent with PRACH; for example, PRACH is transmitted by using the low power consumption module, and then Msg2 and Msg4 are received by using the low power consumption module;

[0352] Based on the number of retransmissions of PRACH or MsgA; for example, when the number of retransmissions is less than a certain value, receiving Msg2 or MsgB by using the low power consumption mode;

[0353] Based on network side indication; the network side indicates the target communication module or target Rx mode for receiving downlink signals or channels by PDCCH order, MAC or RRC signaling.

[0354] In this example, the terminal determines the target communication module or target Rx mode for downlink channel / signal reception based on some events or decision conditions, which does not require additional signaling overhead of the network side to indicate the UE, to a certain extent, reduces the signaling overhead, and the UE can effectively and reasonably allocate the time for UE to use high power consumption / low power consumption for downlink reception, thereby maximizing energy saving gain.

[0355] Example three:

[0356] In this example, the indication method of the target communication module or target Rx mode is implemented.

[0357] The base station displays the indication of the target communication module or target Rx mode used for receiving the target downlink signal or downlink channel through system information (such as MIB, SIB1), RRC signaling, MAC CE, Msg2, Msg4 or DCI.

[0358] The content of the displayed indication includes at least one of the following:

[0359] (1) Field 1, in the form of a bitmap, each bit corresponds to a target signal or target channel one by one.

[0360] For example, 8 bits correspond to target signals (or channels) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 one by one from the highest bit to the lowest bit.

[0361] (2) Field 2, in the form of a bitmap, each bit corresponds to a different target communication module or target Rx mode one by one.

[0362] For example, 4 bits correspond to target communication modules 1, 2, 3 or 4 one by one from the highest bit to the lowest bit, and when the bit position is 1, it indicates that the UE can allow the use of the corresponding target communication module to receive the downlink target channel / signal.

[0363] (3) Field 3, indicating the effective start time, duration or end time of the target communication module or target Rx mode.

[0364] For example, after the network side sends the first indication information, the target communication module or target Rx mode starts to take effect after X ms, slots, frames or subframes, and the duration is Y ms, slots, frames or subframes.

[0365] The terminal determines the target communication module or target Rx mode for receiving the downlink channel or downlink signal based on the network side indication or based on some events or decision conditions, which can effectively and reasonably allocate the time for the terminal to use high power or low power for downlink reception, thereby maximizing energy saving gain.

[0366] It should be noted that in 6G, for non-IoT terminals such as mobile phones, integrating an ultra-low-power communication module on the basis of a traditional main communication module will bring some benefits. The two modules have significant capability differences. The main communication module has higher speed and spectral efficiency, but also higher power consumption. The ultra-low-power communication module is the opposite. For terminals integrated with the two modules, how to reasonably allocate the use time of different modules and reasonably stipulate the use scenarios or use conditions of different modules to maximize energy saving gain while ensuring transmission performance is a problem to be solved. In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal determines the target receiving mode for receiving the target channel or the target signal based on the first information, which can improve the flexibility of the terminal in receiving the target signal or the target channel, and can reasonably allocate the use time of different modules and reasonably stipulate the use scenarios or use conditions of different modules to maximize energy saving gain while ensuring transmission performance.
