[0040] Optionally, the core network device can be implemented by one or more function modules in one device, or can be implemented by multiple devices jointly, and the embodiments of the present application do not make a specific limitation hereon. It can be understood that the above function modules can be network elements in a hardware device, can be software function modules running on a dedicated hardware, or can be virtualized function modules instantiated on a platform (for example, a cloud platform).

[0041] For the convenience of understanding, some contents related to the embodiments of the present application are described as follows:

[0042] I. Low power wake up receiver (LP WUR).

[0043] The basic working principle of the LP WUR is that the receiving end comprises a first module and a second module. The first module is a main communication module, which is used to receive and send communication data transmitted by the sending end. The second module is a low power module, which is used to receive a low power wake up signal (LP-WUS) and a low power synchronization signal (LP-SS) sent by the sending end. The low power wake up signal is used to wake up the main communication module of the receiving end, and the low power synchronization signal is used to provide time reference information and other information for receiving the low power wake up signal, for example, for performing radio resource management (RRM) measurement of a serving cell, and can also provide wake up link management, for example, determining whether to activate or deactivate the LP-WUR and close the main receiver (MR) according to the measurement result. When the first module is not woken up by the second module, it is always in a closed state and does not send or receive data. When there is downlink data, the second module detects the wake up signal sent by the sending end, and the wake up signal contains the terminal information, then the second module triggers the first module to switch from the closed state to the working state, and performs data reception and transmission. The second module can be continuously turned on or discontinuously turned on, and the second module can receive the low power wake up signal and the low power synchronization signal when it is turned on.

[0044] II. Low power wake up signal.

[0045] In this embodiment, the low power wake-up signal (LP-WUS) is not a downlink control information (DCI). For example, the low power wake-up signal is not a DCI format 2-6 (in which the wake-up indication information is carried). For example, the waveform or modulation mode of the low power wake-up signal (LP-WUS) in this embodiment is: OOK based LP-WUS with overlaid OFDM sequence(s) over OOK symbol. In other words, the low power signal in this embodiment refers to the LP-WUS with overlaid OFDM sequence on OOK symbol or chip.

[0046] In order to reduce the receiving activity of the terminal in the standby state, so that the radio frequency (RF) and baseband (MODEM) modules are truly closed to greatly reduce the power consumption of communication reception, the above-mentioned low power receiver can be introduced in the receiving module of the terminal to achieve this. In one embodiment, this near-zero power receiver does not require complex signal detection (such as amplification, filtering, quantization, etc.) of the RF module and signal processing of the MODEM, but only relies on passive matched filtering and relatively small power signal processing.

[0047] In one embodiment, the low power wake-up signal is generally some simple on-off keying (OOK) signal, so that the receiver can identify the wake-up announcement through simple energy detection and subsequent possible sequence detection and other processes. In another embodiment, the low power wake-up signal can be an FSK signal, an OFDM signal, or a hybrid signal of OFDM and OOK or FSK. For example, the wake-up signal is an OOK overlaid OFDM signal. In addition, while the terminal turns on the low power receiver to receive the wake-up signal, the main receiver module can be maintained at a lower power consumption level to achieve power saving through receiving the wake-up signal.

[0048] The reception of the low power wake-up signal can be applied to terminals in a radio resource control (RRC) idle or RRC inactive state, and can also be applied to RRC connected terminals, thereby achieving terminal energy saving.

[0049] In addition, in addition to the low power wake-up signal, there is also a low power synchronization signal or a low power measurement signal. They can be collectively understood as low power signals, and the role of the low power signal is to save terminal energy.

[0050] The code point processing method provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below in combination with some embodiments and application scenarios thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0051] Referring to FIG. 2A, the code point processing method provided by the embodiments of the present application includes the following steps.

[0052] In step 201, a terminal acquires target information, which is used to indicate low-power wake-up signal (LP-WUS) group mapping related configuration.

[0053] In step 202, the terminal determines a code point associated with the terminal based on the LP-WUS group mapping related configuration.

[0054] In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal determining a code point associated with the terminal based on the LP-WUS group mapping related configuration can be understood as the terminal determining a code point associated with a LP-WUS group in which the terminal is located based on the LP-WUS group mapping related configuration.

[0055] It should be noted that the code point associated with the terminal can be one or more, which is related to the mapping type between the code point supported by the terminal and the LP-WUS group.

[0056] Optionally, the LP-WUS group (which can also be referred to as subgroup) is a further grouping of terminals associated with one paging occasion (PO).

[0057] In one embodiment, the mapping type between the code point and the LP-WUS group can include: 1-to-1 mapping type; 1-to-n mapping type, n being an integer greater than 1; 1-to-all mapping type. The network side device can configure or protocol agree at least one mapping type in the above mapping types for the terminal.

[0058] Optionally, the code point associated with the terminal can include one or more code points. In this way, the network side device can indicate the terminal to wake up at least one LP-WUS group by carrying the code point in the LP-WUS, thereby improving the flexibility of terminal wake-up.

[0059] The code point processing method provided by the embodiments of the present application includes: a terminal acquires target information, which is used to indicate low-power wake-up signal (LP-WUS) group mapping related configuration; and the terminal determines a code point associated with the terminal based on the LP-WUS group mapping related configuration. The embodiments of the present application clearly define the determination manner of the code point associated with the terminal, so that the network side device can indicate the terminal to wake up at least one LP-WUS group by carrying the code point in the LP-WUS, thereby improving the flexibility of terminal wake-up.

[0060] Optionally, in some embodiments, the target information comprises at least one of:

[0061] configuration of mapping type between codepoint and LP-WUS group;

[0062] number of codepoints required by the first indication information carried by LP-WUS, or codepoint corresponding to the first indication information carried by LP-WUS, the first indication information being used to indicate information other than LP-WUS group wake-up information;

[0063] number of LP-WUS groups associated with one PO;

[0064] number of POs indicated or associated by LP-WUS;

[0065] mapping order of codepoint;

[0066] total number of codepoints applied or indicated by LP-WUS;

[0067] information bit length L of LP-WUS;

[0068] encoding mode of information bit of LP-WUS.

[0069] In an embodiment, the terminal can obtain the above target information through network side configuration or protocol agreement. For example, part of the target information is configured by the network side device, and another part of the target information is agreed by the protocol.

[0070] In the embodiments of the present application, the definition of the information used to determine the codepoint associated with the terminal is clarified, so that the terminal and the network side device can better determine the codepoint associated with the terminal, and the performance of LP-WUS detection is improved.

[0071] Optionally, in some embodiments, the configuration of mapping type between codepoint and LP-WUS group can comprise indication of mapping type between codepoint and LP-WUS group, for example, the network side device can directly configure a set of parameter n in 1-to-n mapping type. For example, the parameter n is {1, 2, all}. Then it means that there are three mapping types respectively: 1-to-1 mapping type, 1-to-2 mapping type and 1-to-all mapping type. In an embodiment, the protocol agrees that the mapping type between codepoint and LP-WUS group is 1-to-1 mapping type, or 1-to-1 and 1-to-all two mapping types. Therefore, the set of parameter n configured by the network side can be used to configure other mapping types except n=1 and / or n=all, such as 1-to-2 mapping type, 1-to-3 mapping type, etc.

[0072] Optionally, for 1-to-1 mapping type, by default, n codepoints are required; ​

[0073] Optionally, for the 1-to-n mapping type, n is an integer greater than 1 and less than the total number of LP-WUS groups. The value of n can be configured by the network side device, for example, the value set of n is {2, 4}, then the mapping type includes both 1-to-2 and 1-to-4. Optionally, for the 1-to-n mapping type, the network side device also needs to configure the number of code points required for the 1-to-n mapping type, that is, the configuration of the mapping type between the code points and the LP-WUS groups also includes the related parameter information of the mapping type (such as the number of code points required for the 1-to-n mapping type). For example, the value of n is {2, 4}, then the network side device needs to configure the number of code points corresponding to each n value for the mapping type corresponding to each n value. In one embodiment, in the case where the network side device does not configure the required number of code points, the default number of code points required for the 1-to-n mapping type is or .

[0074] A special mapping combination number is the case where the value of n is equal to , which can realize that one code point wakes up all LP-WUS groups of one PO. In this case, the 1-to- mapping type requires code points.

[0075] For the mapping type of 1-to-all LP-WUS groups between the code points and the LP-WUS groups, only one code point is required.

[0076] Optionally, the above first indication information can be understood as indication information for indicating other functions in addition to the wake-up function. The code point corresponding to the first indication information carried by the LP-WUS can be understood as a common code point. The other functions are, for example, system information update (SI modification) or earthquake and tsunami warning system (ETWS) indication or commercial mobile alert system (CMAS) indication. The specific functions are not limited.

[0077] Optionally, in some embodiments, the number of POs indicated or associated by the LP-WUS can include one or more, which is not limited further herein.

[0078] Optionally, in some embodiments, the mapping order of the code points includes a first layer mapping order and a second layer mapping order, and the first layer mapping order includes any one of the first mapping order and the second mapping order.

[0079] The first mapping sequence is to complete the mapping between all mapping types and code points within one PO first, and then complete the mapping between mapping types and code points in subsequent POs in the order of PO indexes associated with the LP-WUS; and the second mapping sequence is to complete the mapping between one mapping type and code points on all associated POs first, and then complete the mapping between different mapping types and code points.

[0080] The second layer mapping sequence is a mapping sequence between different mapping types.

[0081] In the embodiments of the present application, the second layer mapping sequence can be implicitly confirmed by the set of parameters n configured by the network side device, for example, n = {all, 1, 2, 4}, the mapping types between the code points and the LP-WUS groups include 1-to-all mapping type, 1-to-1 mapping type, 1-to-2 mapping type and 1-to-4 mapping type, and then the second layer mapping sequence is 1-to-all mapping type, 1-to-1 mapping type, 1-to-2 mapping type and 1-to-4 mapping type in turn.

[0082] Optionally, the second layer mapping sequence can be understood as the next layer mapping sequence of the first layer mapping sequence, for example, first determine how to perform the overall mapping between mapping types and code points on all POs according to the first layer mapping sequence, and then determine the mapping sequence between different mapping types according to the second layer mapping sequence, so that the mapping between all mapping types and code points can be realized. The first layer mapping sequence can regard the mapping types as a whole and map them in turn according to the index sequence of the POs (first mapping sequence), or regard each mapping type as an independent unit and map each mapping type in turn (second mapping sequence).

[0083] Optionally, the first layer mapping sequence can be configured by a protocol or a network side device.

[0084] Since the mapping sequence of the code points is determined in the embodiments of the present application, the terminal and the network side device can better determine the code points associated with the terminal, and the performance of the LP-WUS detection is improved.

[0085] Optionally, in some embodiments, in the case that the LP-WUS is configured to carry the first indication information, and the code point corresponding to the first indication information carried by the LP-WUS is not specified, the mapping sequence of the code point further includes a third layer mapping sequence, and the third layer mapping sequence includes any one of the following:

[0086] mapping the second indication information carried by the LP-WUS first, and then mapping the first indication information;

[0087] mapping the first indication information first, and then mapping the second indication information carried by the LP-WUS;

[0088] The second indication information is LP-WUS group wake-up indication information used to indicate a wake-up LP-WUS group, and the first mapping order and the second mapping order are mapping orders associated with the second indication information in the third mapping order.

[0089] In the embodiments of the present application, if the LP-WUS carries other function indications (such as the first indication information) in addition to the group function indication (such as the function corresponding to the LP-WUS group wake-up indication information), and the codepoint applied by the other function indications is not specified, that is, participates in the mapping process of the codepoint, the third mapping order is needed. Among them, mapping the second indication information carried by the LP-WUS first, and then mapping the first indication information can be understood or replaced as: mapping the group function indicated by the second indication information first, and then mapping the other function indicated by the first indication information. Mapping the first indication information first, and then mapping the second indication information carried by the LP-WUS can be understood or replaced as: mapping the other function indicated by the first indication information first, and then mapping the group function indicated by the second indication information.

[0090] It should be noted that the 1-to-all mapping type is a 1-to-all LP-WUS group mapping type.

[0091] Optionally, in some embodiments, the 1-to-all mapping type does not participate in the mapping process of the codepoint, and any of the following is used to determine the codepoint of the 1-to-all LP-WUS group mapping type:

[0092] The network side device configures or agrees on a common codepoint corresponding to the 1-to-all LP-WUS group mapping type through a protocol; for example, the rule for taking the value of the common codepoint is a sequence of all 0s or a sequence of all 1s.

[0093] The network side device configures an LP-WUS monitoring opportunity specially used to transmit the common codepoint. That is, the network side distinguishes the 1-to-all mapping type from other mapping types from the configuration of the LP-WUS monitoring opportunity, and in this case, the 1-to-all mapping type can be understood as not participating in the above-mentioned mapping process of the codepoint.

[0094] It can be understood that as long as the network side device configures or agrees on the codepoint applied by a certain mapping type, it is not necessary to participate in the codepoint mapping process, because the codepoint has been determined.

[0095] Optionally, in some embodiments, the total number of codepoints applied or indicated by the LP-WUS can be understood or replaced by the total number of codepoints that can be indicated by one LP-WUS, or can be understood or replaced by the length of information bits of one LP-WUS, or by the actual number of codepoints used for mapping. For example, the total number of required codepoints is 200, and the length of information bits of the required LP-WUS is 8 bits. Optionally, the total number of codepoints applied or indicated by the LP-WUS is optionally configured. In the case of no configuration, it can be implicitly derived.

[0096] Optionally, in some embodiments, the target information can further include the total number of bits K of the LP-WUS, or the number of redundant or coded bits of the LP-WUS.

[0097] Optionally, in some embodiments, the candidate value of K can be agreed upon by the protocol or configured by the network side device.

[0098] Optionally, the above K is used for the low-power receiver LP-WUR based on the OOK waveform. Optionally, in one case, the network side device does not configure the bit length of the LP-WUS for the low-power receiver based on the OFDM waveform. In this case, the terminal defaults to the bit length of the LP-WUS for the low-power receiver based on the OFDM waveform, which is the minimum number of bits supporting the total number of codepoints required for mapping all types, that is, the length of information bits of the LP-WUS.

[0099] Optionally, the network side device configures different total bits of the LP-WUS or the length of information bits of the LP-WUS for different types of LP-WUR receivers. For example, the network side device configures the length of the LP-WUS as L1 for the low-power receiver based on the OOK waveform, and configures the length of the LP-WUS as L2 for the low-power receiver based on the OFDM waveform.

[0100] Optionally, in some embodiments, in the case where one LP-WUS or one LP-WUS occasion (LO) is associated with more than one paging frame (PF), the target information can further include the offset between the LO and the first PF associated with the LO. Optionally, the first PF associated with the LO is determined based on the following formula: Wherein, A is the frame number of the system frame number (SFN) corresponding to the paging frame, N represents the number of paging frames PF contained in the paging cycle, Ns represents the number of POs contained in one PF, and T is the discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle of the non-connected state user equipment (UE) (optionally, if a specific DRX cycle is configured for the UE, T takes the minimum DRX cycle value among them, otherwise T is the default cycle value configured by the system information block (SIB) 1).

[0101] Optionally, different L or K bit lengths can be configured for different LP-WUS waveforms or modulation modes.

[0102] Optionally, in some embodiments, the encoding mode of the information bits of the LP-WUS satisfies at least one of the following:

[0103] LP-WUS based on on-off keying (OOK) waveform or modulation mode;

[0104] Different encoding modes or different encoding lengths are used for different LP-WUS waveforms or modulation modes.

[0105] Optionally, in some embodiments, in the case that the mapping type between the code point and the LP-WUS group is a 1-to-1 mapping type, the relative mapping order index of the LP-WUS group associated with the terminal in the 1-to-1 mapping type is determined based on at least one of the following:

[0106] Index i of the PO associated with the terminal in the LP-WUS associated PO PO ;

[0107] Index i of the LP-WUS group associated with the terminal in one PO SGinPO ;

[0108] Index iSGinLP-WUS of the LP-WUS group associated with the terminal in all LP-WUS groups indicated by the LP-WUS

[0109] Number of POs indicated or associated by the LP-WUS

[0115] In an embodiment, in the mapping type of 1:1 between the code point and the LP-WUS group, a UE is only associated with one relative mapping sequence index value, or one code point value.

[0116] Optionally, in some embodiments, the relative mapping sequence index of the LP-WUS group associated with the terminal is any of the following: iSGinLP-WUS.

[0117] In the embodiments of the present application, for the first mapping sequence, the relative mapping sequence index of the LP-WUS group associated with the terminal is any of the following: For the second mapping sequence, the relative mapping sequence index of the LP-WUS group associated with the terminal is iSGinLP-WUS.

[0120] Optionally, in some embodiments, the i SGinPO satisfies at least one of the following:

[0121] LP-WUS group index based on the terminal identifier UE_ID Or wherein, N represents the number of paging frames (PF) contained in a paging cycle, and Ns represents the number of POs contained in one PF;

[0123] In the embodiments of the present application, the LP-WUS grouping based on the terminal identifier UE_ID and the LP-WUS grouping allocated by the core network device are two grouping types. According to the capability of the terminal or the configuration of the network, the terminal can support or not support the LP-WUS grouping based on the core network (CN) allocation.

[0124] In one embodiment, the terminal supports and the network configures the LP-WUS grouping type based on the CN allocation, in which case, the terminal can obtain two relative mapping order index values in the Codepoint and LP-WUS grouping 1:1 mapping type based on the LP-WUS grouping index based on the terminal identifier UE_ID and the LP-WUS grouping index allocated by the core network device, or the terminal can only obtain one relative mapping order index value in the 1:1 mapping type based on the LP-WUS grouping index allocated by the core network, that is, the terminal in this case finally determines the associated codepoint in the 1:1 mapping type based on the CN grouping type.

[0125] In addition, if the terminal does not support the grouping type based on the CN allocation, the terminal can only obtain one associated relative mapping order index value in the Codepoint and LP-WUS grouping 1:1 mapping type based on the UE identifier (ID) grouping.

[0130] The terminal adds a third value to the LP-WUS group index allocated by the core network device to the terminal in the LP-WUS based on the LP-WUS group index iSGinLP-WUS allocated by the core network device, and the third value is:

[0131] Wherein, N represents the number of paging frames PF contained in a paging cycle, and Ns represents the number of POs contained in one PF.

[0132] Optionally, for the LP-WUS group index based on the terminal identifier UE_ID: Wherein, the value range of iSGinLP-WUS is Wherein, In the embodiment of the application, the range of the LP-WUS group index allocated by the core network device to the terminal includes any of the following: It should be noted that different index ranges correspond to different determination methods. For example, if it is The following method is needed to determine: iSGinLP-WUS is the LP-WUS group index allocated by the core network device to the terminal plus a second value; if it is The following method is needed to determine: iSGinLP-WUS is the LP-WUS group index allocated by the core network device to the terminal.

[0133] Optionally, for the LP-WUS group index based on the terminal identifier UE_ID: Wherein, the value range of iSGinLP-WUS is In the embodiment of the application, the range of the LP-WUS group index allocated by the core network device to the terminal includes any of the following:

[0134] Optionally, in some embodiments, the i SGinPO At least one of the following is met:

[0135] The LP-WUS group index based on the terminal identifier UE_ID Or Wherein, N represents the number of PFs contained in a paging cycle, Ns represents the number of POs contained in one PF, and Np is a specific value.

[0136] The terminal adds a second value to the LP-WUS group index allocated by the core network device to the terminal in the LP-WUS based on the LP-WUS group index iSGinLP-WUS allocated by the core network device, and the second value is:SGinPO an LP-WUS group index allocated to the terminal by the core network device; or, the LP-WUS group index allocated to the terminal by the core network device plus a first value, the first value being SGinPO an LP-WUS group index allocated to the terminal by the core network device plus a first value, the first value being

[0137] Optionally, in some embodiments, the iSGinLP-WUS satisfies at least one of the following:

[0138] an LP-WUS group index based on a terminal identifier UE_ID an LP-WUS group index based on a terminal identifier UE_ID

[0139] the terminal allocates to the core network device an LP-WUS group index iSGinLP-WUS based on an LP-WUS group index allocated to the terminal by the core network device; or, the terminal allocates to the core network device an LP-WUS group index iSGinLP-WUS based on an LP-WUS group index allocated to the terminal by the core network device plus a second value, the second value being

[0140] the terminal allocates to the core network device an LP-WUS group index iSGinLP-WUS based on an LP-WUS group index allocated to the terminal by the core network device plus a third value, the third value being

[0141] wherein N represents a number of paging frames PF contained in a paging cycle, Ns represents a number of POs contained in one PF, and Np is a specific value.

[0142] It should be noted that the above Np can be obtained according to network side device configuration or obtained by agreement.

[0143] In some embodiments, Np can be a specific value determined by the terminal based on relevant parameters. Optionally, Np is related to paging early indication (PEI) related parameters configured by the network side device. For example, Np is determined according to the number of PEI groups corresponding to one PO configured by the network side device. For example, Np is equal to the number of UE-ID based PEI groups corresponding to one PO configured by the network side device, or Np is equal to the number of PEI groups corresponding to one PO configured by the network side device, or Np takes a value satisfying a multiple of 2. For example, Np takes a value of the result of the number of UE-ID based PEI groups corresponding to one PO configured by the network side device divided by 2 rounded up and then multiplied by 2. For example, the number of UE-ID based PEI groups corresponding to one PO configured by the network side device is equal to 3. Then Np = round up (3 ÷ 2) * 2 = 4.

[0144] In some embodiments, Np is fixed to a specific value by a protocol. For example, Np = 8.

[0145] In addition, in some embodiments, the Np mentioned in the above embodiments is

[0146] In some embodiments, Np corresponds to different specific values for different terminals. For example, for terminals that do not support or are not configured to monitor PEI, if such terminals support and are configured to monitor LP-WUS, then Np corresponding to such terminals = 1; for terminals that support and are configured to monitor PEI, if such terminals also support and are configured to monitor LP-WUS, then Np corresponding to such terminals is determined by network side configuration or protocol agreement. For example, Np corresponding to such terminals = 8.

[0147] It can be understood that the above Np is a specific value but does not limit the number of specific values.

[0148] It should be understood that the role of Np is to separate the LP-WUS group based on UE-ID in which the terminal is located from the PEI group based on UE-ID in which the terminal is located. In this way, in the case where the terminal supports and is configured to monitor both LP-WUS and PEI, the terminal can determine whether to monitor paging according to whether at least one of the associated LP-WUS group and the associated PEI group is indicated to wake up.

[0149] For example, for the same paging occasion, the terminal monitors the LP-WUS and PEI associated with this paging occasion, as shown in FIG. 2B. In the case where both the LP-WUS group in which the terminal is located and the PEI group in which the terminal is located are indicated to wake up, the terminal performs monitoring for the paging occasion. In other cases, the terminal does not perform paging monitoring. Since the LP-WUS group in which the terminal is located and the PEI group in which the terminal is located are not associated, that is, the LP-WUS group and the PEI group of the terminal are independent of each other, the terminal can determine whether to wake up according to the indication of LP-WUS and PEI respectively, thereby reducing the probability of false wake-up of the terminal.

[0150] Optionally, in some embodiments, in the case where the mapping type between the code point and the LP-WUS group is a 1-to-n mapping type, the relative mapping order index of the LP-WUS group associated with the terminal in the 1-to-n mapping type is determined based on the combination order index of the combination in which the LP-WUS group associated with the terminal is located, and the combination order index is determined based on the combination sorting manner, wherein one combination consists of n LP-WUS groups, and n is an integer greater than 1.

[0151] In this embodiment of the application, one possible order of combination is: n LP-WUS grouping indices (i) within a combination. SGinPO The LP-WUS grouping index (or iSGinLP-WUS) is sorted from smallest to largest (or from largest to smallest). The order of all combinations is determined by traversing the LP-WUS grouping index at the Xth position (where X is a positive integer less than or equal to n) in ascending order (or from largest to smallest). This is illustrated in Table 1 below.

[0152] Table 1:

[0153] Optionally, in some embodiments, the relative mapping order index satisfies any of the following:

[0154] When the mapping order of the code points includes a first mapping order, the relative mapping order index of the LP-WUS packets associated with the terminal in the 1-to-n mapping type is any one of the following: i PO and The product of the product and the combination order index of the LP-WUS group associated with the terminal; the combination order index of the LP-WUS group associated with the terminal and the product of the combination order index of the LP-WUS group associated with the terminal and ... The product plus i PO ;

[0155] When the mapping order of the code points includes a second mapping order, the relative mapping order index of the LP-WUS packets associated with the terminal in the 1-to-n mapping type is the combination order index of the combination in which the LP-WUS packets associated with the terminal are located;

[0156] Among them, i PO This is the index of the PO associated with the terminal in the PO associated with LP-WUS. The number of POs indicated or associated by LP-WUS. The number of LP-WUS groups associated with a PO;

[0157] The first mapping order is to first complete the mapping between all mapping types and code points within a PO, and then complete the mapping between mapping types and code points in subsequent POs according to the PO index order associated with LP-WUS; the second mapping order is to first complete the mapping between the previous mapping type and code point in all associated POs according to the PO index order associated with LP-WUS, and then perform the mapping between different mapping types and code points in sequence.

[0158] Optionally, in some embodiments, the terminal determines the associated codepoint based on the LP-WUS packet mapping related configuration by including:

[0159] The terminal determines the code point associated with the terminal according to the mapping order of the code point and the preset rule;

[0160] The LP-WUS grouping mapping related configuration includes the mapping order of the code point, and the preset rule includes at least one of the following:

[0161] The code point associated with the terminal in the target mapping type is the sum of the relative mapping order index associated with the terminal in the target mapping type and the fourth value;

[0162] The code point associated with the terminal in the target mapping type is the sum of the relative mapping order index associated with the terminal in the target mapping type and the fourth value, and the sum is multiplied by a fifth value.

[0163] Optionally, the fourth value is any one of the following:

[0164] The number of code points used by the mapping type that maps the code point before the target mapping type;

[0165] The number of code points used by the mapping type that maps the code point before the target mapping type plus the number of code points required by the first indication information;

[0166] The number of code points used by the mapping type that maps the code point before the target mapping type plus the number of code points required by the first indication information plus a specific constant.

[0167] In the embodiments of the present application, multiplying the sum by the fifth value can be understood as multiplying the decimal value of the sum by the fifth value, and expanding in the form of equal proportion difference.

[0168] Optionally, the fifth value is Floor(2^L / C), where C is the total number of code points applied or indicated by the LP-WUS, and L is the information bit length of the LP-WUS.

[0169] Optionally, L is different for different LP-WUR types, and multiplying the code point associated with the terminal by the fifth value can obtain the corresponding associated LP-WUS codeword. It can be understood that if the fifth value is a multiple of 2, it is equivalent to padding 0 at the end (low bit) of the binary value of the codepoint, and the number of padded 0s is log2(A).

[0170] Optionally, in some embodiments, the encoding mode of the information bits of the LP-WUS includes at least one of the following:

[0171] Padding 0 or 1 at the end of the information bits of the LP-WUS;

[0172] Adding check bits or redundancy bits to the information bits of the LP-WUS;

[0173] The information bits of the LP-WUS are RM encoded or Manchester encoded.

[0174] In the embodiments of the present application, the RM encoding linear block code is used to enhance the error correction capability by adding redundant information in the encoding process.

[0175] Optionally, the LP-WUS code points or information bits can be obtained by encoding and then truncating to obtain LP-WUS total bits of a specific length.

[0176] Optionally, in other embodiments, the encoding method of the information bits of the LP-WUS can further include at least one of the following:

[0177] Add encoding bits, without limiting the encoding method, in an embodiment, the information bits are obtained by encoding and then truncating to obtain LP-WUS of a specific length.

[0178] Repeat the information bits, for example, the binary bits of the information bits are 010, and the repeated extension is 010010.

[0179] Optionally, in some embodiments, different encoding methods are used for different LP-WUR receiver types (OOK waveform-based LP-WUR and OFDM waveform-based LP-WUR).

[0180] For example, different redundancy extensions are performed for different LP-WUR types. For example, in some cases, since the detection performance of OFDM LP-WUR is very good, the network side device can configure a small amount of redundancy or no redundancy bit for such receivers (LP-WUS only carries information bits). Further, for OOK LP-WUR, due to the detection method limited by envelope detection, the detection performance is relatively poor compared to OFDM receivers. In order to ensure the detection performance of the LP-WUS of the OOK waveform low-power receiver, the network side device can configure sufficient redundancy bits for the information bits of the LP-WUS corresponding to such receivers.

[0181] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the terminal detects that the LP-WUS carries the code point associated with the terminal, the terminal monitors the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH).

[0182] Optionally, the terminal monitoring the PDCCH can be understood or replaced as the terminal monitoring the paging PDCCH.

[0183] It should be noted that the code point associated with the terminal can include one or more, and the terminal needs to detect multiple code points associated with the terminal. When the terminal detects that the LP-WUS carries any code point associated with the terminal, the terminal will start PDCCH monitoring, otherwise the terminal will not start PDCCH monitoring.

[0184] In order to better understand the present application, the following is described in detail through some examples.

[0185] In some embodiments, the network side device configures or protocols the mapping type between the code point carried by the LP-WUS and the LP-WUS group as: 1-to-1 mapping type, 1-to-all mapping type, and the network side device supports and configures UE_ID group and CN group mode.

[0186] For example, the network side device configures or protocols that the mapping type between the code point and the LP-WUS group is 1-to-1, and in addition, supports that one common code point can wake up all LP-WUS groups.

[0187] In one implementation, the network side device configures the following LP-WUS parameters:

[0188] The number of LP-WUS groups in one PO is: In one embodiment, Group;

[0189] The number of LP-WUS groups based on UE-ID in one PO is: Group; which implies the number of LP-WUS groups based on CN group Group;

[0190] The number of POs indicated or associated with one LP-WUS is PO.

[0191] The number of bits L used by the LP-WUS for the LP-WUS group is 8.

[0192] Optionally, the protocol implicitly agrees that the first mapping order of the code point is:

[0193] 1. First, map one common code point (which means that the code point and the LP-WUS group are 1-to-all POs of all LP-WUS groups);

[0194] 2. Then, first map the CN group type (the mapping type corresponding to the LP-WUS group allocated based on CN) and then map the UE_ID group type (the mapping type corresponding to the LP-WUS group determined based on UE_ID) within one PO.

[0195] It can be understood that the total number of codepoints required for the 1-to-1 mapping type is equal to The 1-to-all-POs mapping type of all LP-WUS groups only requires 1 common codepoint. Therefore, the total number of LP-WUS groups that one LP-WUS can indicate is also equal to the total number of codepoints C, which is 64 + 1 = 65.

[0196] In the 1-to-1 mapping type of codepoint and LP-WUS group, the terminal confirms its relative mapping order index value as

[0197] The LP-WUS group index i assigned to the terminal by the core network device within the PO associated with the terminal SGinPO indicated by the CN;

[0198] The UE_ID-based group index within the PO of the terminal:

[0199] The LP-WUS association of the PO associated with the UE is 4 POs as an index:

[0200] Since there is also a common codepoint mapped before the 1-to-1 mapping type, the codepoint associated with the terminal is

[0201] In one case, under the support of the CN-based grouping type by the terminal, the terminal can obtain two mapping order index values in the 1-to-1 mapping type of codepoint and LP-WUS group based on the UE_ID group (LP_WUS group determined based on UE_ID) and the CN group (LP_WUS group assigned by CN). In one case, the terminal will only determine whether to be awakened by the LP-WUS according to the wake-up indication based on the CN group (that is, the terminal will detect the LP-WUS codepoint corresponding to the CN group of the terminal itself). That is, the terminal will finally determine whether to be awakened by the LP-WUS based on the CN group; in another case, if the terminal does not support the CN group, the terminal will obtain one associated relative mapping order index value in the 1-to-1 mapping type of codepoint and LP-WUS group based on the UE_ID group.

[0202] In one embodiment, the terminal determines the codepoint value of the L information bit length of the LP-WUS detected by the terminal according to the following manner:

[0203] The terminal performs the operation of the following formula to obtain the codepoint of the LP-WUS associated with the terminal:

[0204] Codepoint = relative codepoint * floor(2L / C).

[0205] For example, the PO index i of terminal 1 PO = 3, the terminal CN grouping index i SGinPO = 7 indicated by the CN, according to The relative codepoint value calculated by terminal 1 based on the CN grouping is 56, and the corresponding 8-bit long codepoint is: 56 * floor(2^8 / 65) = 224, which is binary: 11100000. For example, the relative codepoint value calculated by the terminal is 5, and the corresponding 8-bit long codepoint is: 5 * floor(2^8 / 65) = 20, which is binary: 00010100. Among them, the 8-bit long common codeword that terminal 1 needs to monitor is: 00000000.

[0206] The advantage of the above formula mapping is that the relative codepoint originally only needs log2(65) = 7 bits can be evenly mapped into an 8-bit codepoint.

[0207] Therefore, for terminal 1, the detected LP-WUS content needs to be compared with its two associated codepoints: {00000000, 00010100} to determine whether it is the LP-WUS that wakes up itself.

[0208] In the above embodiment, one LP-WUS can carry a total of 65 LP-WUS grouping codepoints. Another way is that the network side device can correspond a dedicated LP-WUS monitoring occasion (LP-WUS MO) for the common codepoint. The terminal only needs to detect the common codepoint on this dedicated common LP-WUS MO. The remaining 64 codepoints can be carried by additional LP-WUS MO. That is, a common codepoint and the total codepoint corresponding to the mapping type and grouping type other than this are carried by different LP-WUS. At this time, for an LP-WUS carrying a non-common codepoint, the common codepoint does not participate in the mapping process, and therefore the codepoint associated with the terminal is Then the terminal determines its corresponding L-bit length codepoint according to the value, and performs LP-WUS detection on the above-mentioned additional LP-WUS MO. If the terminal detects its associated L-bit length codepoint on the above-mentioned additional LP-WUS MO, the terminal starts to monitor the associated PO. Otherwise, the terminal does not monitor the associated PO.

[0209] In another embodiment, if the LP-WUS carries other function indications in addition to indicating grouping functions, further, the network side device configures the other function indications carried by the LP-WUS to apply a specified common codepoint. Then the common codepoint does not participate in the above-mentioned codepoint mapping process.

[0210] In an embodiment, the network side device configures 3 common codepoints to include a common codepoint indicating waking up all LP-WUS groups, a common codepoint indicating system information update, and a common codepoint indicating system warning information such as earthquake and tsunami.

[0211] In some embodiments, the second mapping order of the codepoint implicitly agreed by the protocol is:

[0212] 1. First, mapping of 1 common codepoint (referring to codepoint to LP-WUS group 1 to all POs of all LP-WUS groups);

[0213] 2. Then, first mapping of CN grouping type based on all POs, and then mapping of UE-ID grouping type based on all POs.

[0214] Compared with the first mapping order described above, when the second mapping order is adopted, the unchanged part is that the total number of LP-WUS groups that can be indicated by one LP-WUS is also the total number of codepoints, which is C=64+1=65. The changed part is that in the 1 to 1 mapping type of codepoint and LP-WUS group, the relative mapping order index value of the terminal itself in the LP-WUS is iSGinLP-WUS.

[0215] In the case that the terminal supports CN grouping, the relative mapping order index of the terminal CN grouping in all CN groupings of all POs associated with the LP-WUS is determined by the following method:

[0216] The CN indicated grouping index range is It can be understood that the CN does not distinguish the PO in which the terminal is located, and only informs the terminal of the CN group index according to the number of CN groups in one PO. The terminal obtains the CN group index according to the following calculation to obtain the CN group relative mapping order index in the CN group type of the terminal:

[0217] iSGinLP-WUS is the group index indicated by the CN to the terminal, and

[0218] For example, the CN group index indicated by the terminal is 5, and the iSGinLP-WUS associated with the terminal is 3. PO The relative mapping order index of the terminal in the CN group type is: 5+3*8=29.

[0219] The advantage of the CN indication is that the CN can only indicate part of the information to determine the CN group relative mapping order index of the terminal, thereby saving the bit overhead.

[0220] The UE ID group relative mapping order index of the terminal in all UE ID groups in all POs associated with the LP-WUS is determined by the following formula:

[0221] Wherein,

[0222] If the terminal supports the CN group, one possibility is that the terminal only calculates the corresponding relative mapping order index based on the CN group type, and does not calculate the relative mapping order index based on the UE-ID group. Another possibility is that the terminal can obtain two relative index values, but the terminal does not apply the relative mapping order index based on the UE ID group, and only applies the relative mapping order index obtained based on the CN group. If the terminal does not support the CN group, then the terminal only obtains the relative mapping order index obtained based on the UE ID group.

[0223] Since there is still a common codepoint mapped before the 1-to-1 mapping type. Therefore, the codepoint associated with the terminal is iSGinLP-WUS+1.

[0224] In another way, the network can correspond one dedicated LP-WUS monitoring occasion (LP-WUS MO) to one of the common codepoints, and the terminal only needs to detect one common codepoint in the dedicated common LP-WUS MO. The remaining 64 codepoints can be carried by additional LP-WUS MOs. At this time, since one common codepoint is not involved in the mapping process, the codepoint associated with the terminal is iSGinLP-WUS, and then the terminal determines the corresponding L-bit length codeword according to this value and performs LP-WUS detection in the additional LP-WUS MO. If the terminal detects the L-bit length codeword associated with itself in the additional LP-WUS MO, the terminal starts to monitor the associated PO. Otherwise, the terminal does not monitor the associated PO.

[0225] In some embodiments, the network side device configures or agrees on a mapping type of three codepoints of one LP-WUS carrier to LP-WUS groups: 1-to-1 mapping type, 1-to-4 mapping type, and 1-to-all mapping type.

[0226] The network side device configures the following information: there are 6 LP-WUS groups in one PO; one LP-WUS is associated with 8 POs; in the 1-to-n mapping type of codepoint to LP-WUS group, the set of parameter n and the mapping order are {all, 1, 4}; the bit length of LP-WUS is L = 8 bits.

[0227] If the mapping of different mapping types in one PO is mapped first and then different POs are mapped, the group index of the terminal itself is i SGinPO ; if the mapping of the same mapping type in all POs is mapped first, and the mapping of different mapping types is mapped, the group index of the terminal itself is iSGinLP-WUS.

[0228] The following is an example of mapping of different mapping types in one PO first and then mapping of different POs, with the group index of the terminal being i SGtnPO .

[0229] For 1-to-1 and 1-to-all mapping types, the relative order index associated with the terminal in different mapping types can be determined by referring to embodiment 1.

[0230] For 1-to-4 mapping type, the terminal determines the relative mapping order index by the following way:

[0231] Firstly, the combination refers to the combination of 4 LP-WUS groups. For example, the protocol stipulates that the n LP-WUS group indexes (i SGinPO or iSGinLP-WUS) are sorted in ascending order, and the arrangement order of all combinations is determined according to the ascending order of the LP-WUS indexes in each position in the combination. For example, in the 1-to-4 mapping type, one combination x is {0, 3, 2, 5}, and another combination y is {0, 5, 4, 2}. It can be seen that the 4 LP-WUS group indexes in the combination are sorted in ascending order as {0-2-3-5} and {0-2-4-5}. According to the comparison of the LP-WUS indexes in the same position, the two LP-WUS group indexes in the first position are both 0, then moved to the next position, the two group indexes are both 2, and then moved to the next position, one of the two group indexes is 3 and the other is 4, so the combination x precedes the combination y in the mapping of the codepoint. In this way, in the 1-to-n mapping type, the mapping order of the codepoint and various combinations can be determined as shown in Table 2 below, and the terminal can obtain the target combination order index value of itself in the 1-to-n group type of the codepoint and the LP-WUS group.

[0232] For example, the i SGinPO of the terminal is 3, and the i PO of the terminal is 7, then the corresponding associated target combination index value is {0, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14}. The relative order index value of the terminal in the 1-to-4 mapping type of the codepoint and the LP-WUS group is determined according to the formula: B is the target combination order mapping index value. Then the codepoint of the terminal in the 1-to-4 mapping type is:

[0233] The codepoint value obtained by the terminal based on the UE_ID grouping is: 7*6+3+1=45.

[0234] The index value of the common codepoint that the terminal needs to listen to is 0.

[0235] According to the above configuration, the sum of the number of codepoints that can be indicated by one LP-WUS, that is, the sum of the number of codepoints used in all mapping types and grouping types, is: 1+8*6+8*15=169, which requires an 8-bit LP-WUS. The entire LP-WUS codepoint set associated with the terminal (a total of 12 codepoints) is:

[0236] {00000000, 00101101, 01011011, 01011110, 01011111, 01100001, 01100010, 01100100, 01100101, 01100110, 01101000, 01101001}.

[0237] In an embodiment, the network configures or the protocol agrees to further encode for the LP-WUS codepoint (equivalent to the LP-WUS information bit), and the terminal, after detecting the LP-WUS, obtains the corresponding codepoint by decoding the LP-WUS and further judges whether it is the codepoint associated with itself.

[0238] For the mapping type of the protocol agreed codepoint and the 1-to-multiple LP-WUS grouping, in another embodiment, the network side or the protocol can also agree on the combined codepoint mapping table, and the terminal can obtain the relative order index value of the terminal according to the grouping index associated with itself. For the 1-to-4 grouping type of the codepoint and the LP-WUS grouping, for example, there are 6 LP-WUS groupings in a PO, a total of codepoints are needed, and the combined codepoint mapping table is shown in Table Two below.

[0239] Table Two:

[0240] For the 1-to-4 grouping type of the codepoint and the LP-WUS grouping, for example, there are 6 LP-WUS groupings in a PO, a total of codepoints are needed, and the combined codepoint mapping table is shown in Table Two below. SGinPO or iSGinLP-WUS, the terminal can obtain the combined index of itself in the 1-to-4 grouping type to be monitored by looking up the table. The 1-to-4 LP-WUS grouping combination and the corresponding combined index are shown in Table One above.
