[0103] For ease of understanding, the following explains some aspects of the embodiments of this application:

[0104] 1. Regarding the selection and reselection of residential communities

[0105] (1) Initial cell selection process

[0106] The user equipment (UE, i.e., the terminal) does not know in advance which radio frequency (RF) channel is the carrier of NR;

[0107] The UE scans all RF channels one by one according to its own capabilities (the scanning order is not specified by the protocol) to find a suitable NR cell. In each scanned carrier frequency, the UE only needs to search for the cell with the strongest signal quality. Once a suitable cell is found, the UE selects that cell to camp on and stops the initial cell selection process, that is, the unscanned RF channels do not need to be scanned again.

[0108] The suitable cell must meet at least all of the following conditions:

[0109] The signal quality of the cell meets preset conditions, and the signal quality includes: Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) and / or Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ);

[0110] The UE can obtain the necessary system information (including at least the Master Information Block (MIB) and the System Information Block (SIB)1);

[0111] The cell bar information element (IE) in the system information (which can take the values ​​barred and notBarred) is set to notBarred, meaning that the cell is not prohibited from attaching or accessing.

[0112] (2) Cell reselection process

[0113] The UE evaluates each frequency point in turn, starting from the highest priority frequency point, based on the frequency point priority provided by the network. Only suitable cells can be used as target cells for reselection.

[0114] Different frequency points can be configured with the same or different frequency priorities.

[0115] When the UE is camped on the serving cell, if there is a higher priority NR or LTE cell on a frequency point that meets the Treselection requirement for a certain period of time... RAT Intracellular signal quality Squal > Threshold value Thresh X,HighQ ,or,

[0116] If there are higher priority NR or other Radio Access Technology (RAT) frequency points that meet the Treselection requirement for a period of time... RAT Internal signal strength Srxlev > threshold Thresh X,HighP If the UE has been camped in the current serving cell for more than one second, then a cell reselection process is initiated on a higher priority NR or other RAT frequency point.

[0117] 2. About S-measure

[0118] In LTE and NR systems, the TS36.304 and TS38.304 idle-state protocols define the configurations related to idle-state and inactive-state measurements, as well as the measurement triggering conditions for neighboring cells. TS36.331 and TS38.331 define the relevant measurement configurations and measurement reporting conditions for connected-state measurements.

[0119] When determining whether to perform measurements on intra-frequency neighboring cells for the purpose of cell selection or reselection, if the serving cell satisfies Srxlev > SIntraSearchP and Squal > SIntraSearchQ, the UE chooses not to perform intra-frequency neighboring cell measurements. Otherwise, if the values ​​are below the threshold, intra-frequency neighboring cell measurements need to be performed.

[0120] For inter-frequency and inter-RAT scenarios, when the priority is higher than the serving frequency and RAT, the terminal performs neighbor cell measurements according to the measurement requirements defined in protocol 36.133. When the priority is equal to or lower than the serving frequency and RAT, if the serving cell satisfies Srxlev > SnonIntraSearchP and Squal > SnonIntraSearchQ, the UE chooses not to perform neighbor cell measurements; otherwise, if the priority is lower than the threshold, neighbor cell measurements need to be performed.

[0121] The aforementioned neighbor cell measurement threshold is optional to configure on the network side. When not configured, it is defined in protocol 36.133 that when the measurement results of this cell fail to meet the S criterion multiple times consecutively, the measurement of neighbor cells will be triggered.

[0122] In connected mode, the terminal calculates and reports measurement results based on the measurement results of the special cell (SpCell) (such as RSRP or RSRQ) and whether the configured S-measure related thresholds (s-MeasureConfig) are met. If the measurement result is lower than the configured threshold, the terminal calculates and reports the measurement result according to the measurement configuration and measurement reporting configuration. When the measurement result is higher than the configured threshold, no corresponding measurement and measurement reporting are required.

[0123] 3. Regarding the Low Power Wake-Up Signal (LP-WUS)

[0124] 3.1 Basic Description of LP-WUS in NR

[0125] 3GPP will introduce research on LP WUR / WUS into mobile cellular systems. LP-WUS is a low-power wake-up signal, received by a low-power wake-up radio (LP-WUR) and used to wake up the main communication module, etc. As shown in Figure 2, the terminal contains two modules: the first module is the main communication module, used for transmitting and receiving mobile communication data; the second module is a low-power wake-up receiver module, used to receive the low-power wake-up signal and low-power beacon signal sent by the transmitter. The low-power wake-up signal is used to wake up the receiver's main communication module, and the low-power beacon signal is used to provide time reference information and other information for receiving the low-power wake-up signal, and can also provide wake-up link management. As shown in Figure 2, the first module remains in a closed state when not woken up by the second module, and does not transmit or receive data. When downlink data arrives, the second module detects the wake-up signal sent by the transmitter, and if the wake-up signal contains information about the terminal, the second module triggers the first module to switch from the closed state to the working state to receive and transmit data. The second module can be continuously or intermittently turned on. When the second module is turned on, it can receive the low-power wake-up signal and the low-power beacon signal.

[0126] The basic framework of LP-WUS is as follows:

[0127] LP-WUS basic format:

[0128] The uses of preamble include, but are not limited to, at least one of the following: LP-WUS detection, synchronization, and data rate determination. Furthermore, preamble can also be used to indicate user identifiers (IDs) or user group IDs, etc.

[0129] Data field: The part that carries the data.

[0130] 3.2 Low-power receiver

[0131] A low-power receiver, also known as a low-power wake-up radio (LP-WUR) or near-zero-power receiver (AZP-WUR), operates on the principle that the receiver comprises a first module and a second module, as shown in Figure 3. The first module is the main communication module, used for transmitting and receiving mobile communication data, while the second module is the low-power receiver module (also called the low-power wake-up receiver module), used to receive the wake-up signal. In power-saving mode, the terminal activates the low-power receiver module to listen for LP-WUR and disables the main communication module. When downlink data arrives, the network sends a wake-up signal to the terminal. The terminal, after detecting the wake-up signal through the low-power receiver module, triggers the main communication module to switch from off to on after a series of checks. At this time, the low-power receiver module switches from active to off. The low-power wake-up receiver module can be continuously or intermittently activated, and when activated, it can receive low-power wake-up signals.

[0132] 3.3 Low-power wake-up signal

[0133] To reduce receiving activity in standby mode and effectively shut down the radio frequency (RF) and modem modules, thereby significantly reducing power consumption during communication reception, this can be achieved by introducing a near-zero power receiver into the terminal's receiver module. This near-zero power receiver eliminates the need for complex RF module signal detection (such as amplification, filtering, quantization, etc.) and modem signal processing, relying solely on passive matched filtering and low-power signal processing.

[0134] On the base station side, by triggering a wake-up signal on demand, the receiver with near-zero power can be activated to receive the activation notification, thereby triggering a series of processes within the terminal, such as turning on the radio frequency transceiver and baseband processing modules.

[0135] Such wake-up signals are usually simple on-off keying (OOK) signals, as shown in Figure 4. In this way, the receiver can obtain the wake-up notification through simple energy detection and subsequent possible sequence detection and recognition processes.

[0136] Since existing NR systems commonly employ Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) signal modulation, OOK signals can be generated using OFDM signal generation methods. For example, transmitting or not transmitting an OFDM-modulated sequence represents an ON / OFF state in the time domain. OOK signals can be received using low-power receivers, but these receivers have poor reception performance and coverage.

[0137] Furthermore, the OFDM modulation sequence in the ON modulation can carry information through different sequences, such as two sequences representing 0 and 1 information respectively, or four sequences representing 00, 01, 10, and 11 information respectively, as shown in Figure 5.

[0138] As shown in Figure 5, part of the information is modulated by OOK, and the other part is carried by an ON-level OFDM sequence.

[0139] Since demodulating OFDM sequences requires a receiver capable of receiving OFDM signals, such receivers generally have better demodulation performance than low-power receivers that can only demodulate OOK signals.

[0146] Wherein, within the effective geographical range and / or effective time range of the first priority of the first frequency point, the first priority of the first frequency point is effective; and / or, if the first terminal does not meet the first condition, the first priority of the first frequency point is effective;

[0147] The first condition is associated with at least one of the following: Low Power Wake-up Signal (LP-WUS), Paging Early Indication (PEI), Paging Message, Short Message;

[0148] The first frequency point is a frequency point related to the first feature or the first configuration information;

[0149] The first feature includes at least one of the following: LP-WUS feature, low-power synchronization signal (LP-SS) feature, low-power wake-up receiver LP-WUR feature, low-power receiver LR feature, and other features related to LP-WUS, LP-SS, LP-WUR or LR.

[0150] The first configuration information includes at least one of the following: LP-WUS related configuration, LP-SS related configuration, LP-WUR related configuration, and LR related configuration;

[0151] The first priority of the first frequency point satisfies at least one of the following:

[0152] The second priority is higher than the first frequency point;

[0153] The priority is higher than at least one of the second frequency points, which is at least one frequency point other than the first frequency point.

[0154] In one implementation, the first terminal performs cell selection or reselection under a first condition.

[0155] In one implementation, the first condition includes at least one of the following:

[0156] First objective condition, second objective condition, third objective condition;

[0157] The first objective condition includes at least one of the following:

[0158] The first terminal receives LP-WUS;

[0159] The first terminal receives LP-WUS, and LP-WUS is used to indicate waking up the first terminal or the packet to which the first terminal is located;

[0160] The first terminal receives LP-WUS, and LP-WUS is used to instruct all terminals to be woken up, or LP-WUS is used to instruct system information updates and / or emergency messages. For example, emergency messages may include public warning systems (PWS) such as Earthquake and Tsunami Warning System (ETWS) or Commercial Mobile Alert Service (CMAS).

[0161] The first terminal receives the PEI, for example, the PEI is received by waking up the first terminal through an LP-WUS message;

[0162] The first terminal receives a PEI, and the PEI is used to indicate whether to wake up the first terminal or the packet to which the first terminal is located;

[0163] The first terminal receives the PEI, and the PEI is used to instruct all terminals to wake up, or the PEI is used to instruct system information updates and / or emergency messages. For example, the emergency message may include PWS such as ETWS or CMAS.

[0164] The second objective condition includes at least one of the following:

[0165] The first terminal receives a paging message or receives the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) corresponding to the paging message or receives a short message. For example, the paging message is received by waking up the first terminal through LP-WUS and / or PEI messages.

[0166] The first terminal receives a paging message or receives a PDCCH corresponding to the paging message, and the paging message or the PDCCH corresponding to the paging message is used to indicate waking up the first terminal, or waking up the group to which the first terminal is located, or waking up all terminals, or the paging message or the PDCCH corresponding to the paging message is used to indicate system information updates and / or emergency messages. For example, emergency messages may include PWS such as ETWS or CMAS.

[0167] The first terminal receives a short message, and the short message is used to indicate system information updates and / or emergency messages. For example, the emergency message may include PWS such as ETWS or CMAS.

[0168] The first terminal needs to perform a random access procedure (e.g., when there is an uplink transmission, the first terminal needs to perform a random access procedure), or trigger a random access channel (RACH), or initiate a random access. For example, the trigger RACH or initiate RACH is performed by a paging trigger, or by a PEI or LP-WUS trigger.

[0169] The first terminal needs to receive System Information (SI), or trigger the reception of SI, or initialize the reception of SI.

[0170] The third objective condition includes at least one of the following:

[0171] The frequency point of the current cell of the first terminal is the first frequency point;

[0172] The current cell of the first terminal is the first cell;

[0173] The frequency point of the current cell of the first terminal has a low priority.

[0174] The frequency point where the current cell of the first terminal is located has a lower priority than the priority of at least one other frequency point in the first message. The other at least one frequency point refers to a frequency point that is different from the frequency point where the current cell is located. The first message includes broadcast messages and / or dedicated radio resource control (RRC) messages, such as RRC release, suspend, or redirection messages.

[0175] The current cell includes one of the following: the cell where the first terminal is currently camped, the cell where the first terminal receives LP-WUS, listens to LP-SS, receives system information, receives PEI, or receives Paging.

[0176] In one implementation, cell selection or reselection can be performed when the first target condition is met. Cell selection or reselection can be performed after receiving LP-WUS or PEI, and then paging and / or RACH can be received in the camped cell. This offloads paging and / or RACH, avoiding the potential overload problem caused by the first terminal receiving paging and / or performing RACH on the cell receiving LP-WUS or PEI.

[0177] Performing cell selection under the condition that the first objective is met can quickly select a cell to receive paging and / or perform RACH, thus shortening the latency of receiving paging and / or random access.

[0178] Performing cell reselection when the first objective condition is met allows for the selection of a suitable cell to receive paging and / or perform RACH, thereby reducing the paging reception and / or random access failure rate.

[0179] In one implementation, cell selection or reselection can be performed when the second target condition is met. Cell selection or reselection can be performed after receiving LP-WUS, PEI, or paging, and then RACH can be performed on the camped cell. This can achieve RACH offload and avoid the first terminal performing RACH on the cell receiving LP-WUS or PEI, which may lead to RACH overload.

[0180] Performing cell selection under the condition that the second objective is met can quickly select a cell to perform RACH, thus shortening the access latency.

[0181] If the second objective condition is met, cell reselection can be performed, and a suitable cell can be selected to perform RACH, thereby reducing the access failure rate.

[0182] In one implementation, cell selection or reselection can be performed if both the third and first target conditions are met; or, cell selection or reselection can be performed if both the third and second target conditions are met. Typically, the first frequency point, i.e., the frequency point that supports or activates / configures LP-WUS, is a relatively low-frequency frequency point. Performing cell selection or reselection under the third target condition can ensure LP-WUS coverage while also achieving offload through the first or second target condition, thereby avoiding overload.

[0183] In one implementation, upon receiving LP-WUS, Early Paging Indication (PEI), paging, and / or a short message, cell selection or reselection or Random Access Channel (RACH) is performed.

[0184] In one implementation, cell selection or reselection is performed using a second priority when the first terminal receives an LP-WUS, PEI, Paging, and / or Short message.

[0185] In one implementation, the second priority includes at least one of the following:

[0186] Priority of broadcasting via broadcast messages or system information;

[0187] Absolute priority;

[0188] In inter-RAT cell(re)selection, priority inherited from another RAT is used for selection or reselection.

[0189] The second priority of the first frequency point is configured through dedicated signaling, broadcast messages, or system information.

[0190] The second priority of the first frequency point in this configuration is one of the following:

[0191] A higher priority than the first priority of the first frequency point makes it more difficult for the first terminal to select or reselect to the first frequency point;

[0192] A higher priority than one or more other frequency points makes it more difficult for the first terminal to select or reselect the first frequency point.

[0193] For example, the first frequency point is lower than or equal to one or more other frequency points, that is, the frequency band of the first frequency point is lower than or equal to one or more other frequency points.

[0194] In one implementation, the first priority includes at least one of the following:

[0195] A first priority for a first frequency point is configured via dedicated signaling, broadcast messages, or system information, wherein the first priority is at least one of the following:

[0196] A higher priority than the first frequency point makes it easier for the first terminal to select or reselect the first frequency point;

[0197] A higher priority than one or more other frequency points makes it easier for the first terminal to select or reselect to the first frequency point.

[0198] For example, the first frequency point is lower than or equal to one or more other frequency points, that is, the frequency band of the first frequency point is lower than or equal to one or more other frequency points.

[0199] In one implementation, the first priority is valid within at least one of the following geographical and / or time ranges:

[0200] The currently serving cell is the cell in which the first terminal obtains the dedicated message, or one or more cells in which the first terminal camps after obtaining the dedicated message. The dedicated message includes RRC release, etc.

[0201] The preset cell range is limited by network-side configuration or protocol agreement, such as the range of the RAN-based Notification Area (RNA) or Tracking Area (TA), or the range of a cell group;

[0202] All communities visited or stayed in within the preset time range;

[0203] It is valid within a preset time range, which is configured by the network side or agreed upon by the protocol, such as within the range of timer T320 or within the range of a newly defined timer.

[0204] In one implementation, the first priority remains in effect until the first condition is met. For example, if the geographic range and / or time range is not configured, the first priority remains in effect by default until the first condition is met.

[0205] In one implementation, the first terminal performs cell selection or reselection based on the first priority of the first frequency point.

[0206] For example, after receiving a dedicated message, the first terminal performs cell selection or reselection based on the first priority of the first frequency point;

[0207] For example, before the first condition is met, the first terminal performs cell selection or reselection based on the first priority of the first frequency point.

[0208] In one implementation, the first terminal performs cell selection or cell reselection based on a first priority of a first frequency point until the aforementioned first condition is met; if the first condition is met, the first terminal performs cell selection, cell reselection, or random access. For example, if the first condition is met, the first terminal performs cell selection, cell reselection, or random access based on a second priority of the first frequency point.

[0209] In related technologies, cell selection or reselection is performed based on the frequency priority deployed by the operator. With the introduction of LP-WUS, the low-power receiver corresponding to LP-WUS may not support all bands. This can result in the terminal being unable to utilize LP-WUS to achieve good power-saving gains when camped on a band that does not support LP-WUS. Furthermore, if the terminal's low-power receiver cannot support all bands deployed by the operator, it may also result in the terminal being unable to utilize LP-WUS to achieve good power-saving gains when camped on a band that does not support LP-WUS. This application's embodiment designs a cell selection or reselection mechanism that allows LP-WUS-enabled UEs to camp on LP-WUS-supporting bands as much as possible to achieve better power-saving gains, and avoids the problem of a large number of LP-WUS-enabled terminals camping on LP-WUS-supporting frequency bands, thus preventing overload issues.

[0210] To achieve offload, the embodiments of this application design the effective range of frequency priority and cell selection or reselection under certain conditions, which can save power while avoiding the overload problem.

[0211] In the embodiments of this application, when the first condition is met, cell selection, cell reselection, or random access is performed, and / or; cell selection or cell reselection is performed based on the first priority of the first frequency point. By setting the effective geographical range and / or effective time range of the first priority of the first frequency point, or the effective restriction conditions of the first priority of the first frequency point, the first terminal can be made to reside as much as possible on the frequency band that supports the first feature (such as the frequency band that supports LP-WUS) to achieve better power saving gain and improve the energy saving effect of the terminal. At the same time, it can avoid the problem of overload caused by a large number of terminals that support the first feature (such as terminals that support LP-WUS) residing on the frequency band that supports the first feature.

[0212] Optionally, the cell selection, cell reselection, or random access performed when the first condition is met includes at least one of the following:

[0213] Cell selection or cell reselection is performed based on the second priority of the first frequency point;

[0214] Cell selection or cell reselection is performed in the cell of the second frequency point or the cell of the second frequency point;

[0215] Measurements are performed on the second frequency point or in a cell on the second frequency point;

[0216] Measurements are performed on the first frequency point and / or the second frequency point, or on the cells at the first frequency point and / or the second frequency point;

[0217] Random access is performed in the cells on the first frequency point and / or the second frequency point, or the cells on the first frequency point and / or the second frequency point are based on the measurement results;

[0218] Ignore the first priority of the first frequency point, or make the first priority of the first frequency point ineffective;

[0219] Cell selection or cell reselection is performed based on the frequency priority in the broadcast message.

[0220] In one implementation, when the first condition is met, during the process of cell selection, cell reselection, or random access, the first terminal performs at least one of the following:

[0221] Measurements are performed on the second frequency point or in a cell on the second frequency point;

[0222] Measurements are performed on the first frequency point and / or the second frequency point, or on the cells at the first frequency point and / or the second frequency point;

[0223] Random access is performed in the cells on the first frequency point and / or the second frequency point, or the cells on the first frequency point and / or the second frequency point are based on the measurement results;

[0224] Ignore the first priority of the first frequency point, or make the first priority of the first frequency point ineffective.

[0225] In one implementation, if the first condition is met, the first terminal performs cell selection or reselection based on a second priority.

[0226] For example, the first terminal performing cell selection or reselection based on a second priority can mean that the first terminal performs cell selection or reselection based on other frequency points and a first frequency point with a second priority. The priority of the other frequency points is the second priority, and the second priority of the other frequency points and the second priority of the first frequency point can be the same or different. The other frequency points can include frequency points different from the first frequency point, such as frequency points with a higher frequency band than the first frequency point; or, the other frequency points can refer to frequency points that are not of the first priority. When the first frequency point is configured with a second priority, the other frequency points can include the first frequency point.

[0227] For example, the first terminal performing cell selection or reselection based on a second priority can also mean that the first terminal performs cell selection or reselection based on a frequency point of the second priority, which may include the first frequency point.

[0228] In one embodiment, the other frequency point can be a second frequency point.

[0229] In one implementation, if the first condition is met, the first terminal performs cell selection or reselection on other frequency points (such as the second frequency point).

[0230] For example, cell selection on other frequency points includes: if a cell on another frequency point meets the S criterion, then that cell is selected. The other frequency points may include frequency points different from the first frequency point, such as frequency points higher than the first frequency point (referring to higher frequency bands); or, the other frequency points may refer to frequency points that are not of the first priority, and when the first frequency point is configured with a second priority, the other frequency points may include the first frequency point.

[0231] In one implementation, if the first condition is met, the first terminal measures cells on other frequency points (such as the second frequency point) or other frequency points.

[0232] For example, the other frequency points may include other frequency points different from the first frequency point, such as frequency points higher than the first frequency point (referring to higher frequency bands); or, the other frequency points may refer to frequency points that are not of the first priority. When the first frequency point is configured with a second priority, the other frequency points may include the first frequency point.

[0233] In one implementation, if the first condition is met, the first terminal performs measurements on other frequency points (such as the second frequency point) and / or the first frequency point.

[0234] For example, the measurement includes at least one of the following: Radio resource management (RRM) measurement, measurement for cell selection or reselection, and measurement for selecting random access resources during RACH.

[0235] In one implementation, if the first condition is met, the first terminal performs RACH based on measurements on other frequency points (such as the second frequency point) and / or the first frequency point.

[0236] For example, the first terminal does not need to perform cell selection or reselection, but directly executes the RACH procedure.

[0237] For example, the first terminal performs RACH based on measurements, including selecting the RACH procedure based on measurement performance (such as RSRP or RSRQ). For instance, if the measurement performance of a certain frequency point or a cell at a certain frequency point is higher than a preset threshold, then the RACH resource of this frequency point or the cell corresponding to this frequency point is selected to perform the RACH procedure; or, the RACH resource corresponding to a certain frequency point or cell at a certain frequency point with the highest measurement performance is selected to perform the RACH procedure.

[0238] The resources for executing RACH are configured through at least one of the following:

[0239] The RACH resources configured by the frequency point or cell after cell selection or reselection, the configuration including system information-based configuration or dedicated message configuration;

[0240] The RACH resource configured by the cell or frequency point that meets the first condition, for example, is the RACH resource configured by the frequency point or cell where the first terminal receives LP-WUS, PEI, or paging, that is, the RACH resource configured by the frequency point or cell where the cell selection or reselection is performed. The configuration includes configuration based on system information or configuration based on dedicated messages.

[0241] RACH resources are configured through dedicated messages received before LP-WUS, PEI, or paging.

[0242] In one implementation, if the first condition is met, the first terminal ignores the first priority of the first frequency point, or makes the first priority of the first frequency point ineffective, and performs cell selection or reselection.

[0243] In one implementation, if the first condition is met, the first terminal performs cell selection or reselection based on the frequency priority provided in the broadcast message.

[0244] In this embodiment, when the first condition is met, cell selection or cell reselection is performed based on the second priority of the first frequency point. In this way, when the first condition is met, the first priority of the first frequency point is no longer used, but the second priority of the first frequency point is used, making it difficult for the first terminal to select or reselect to the first frequency point. This can avoid the problem of overload caused by a large number of terminals supporting the first feature (such as terminals supporting LP-WUS) camping on the frequency band supporting the first feature.

[0245] In this embodiment, when the first condition is met, cell selection or cell reselection is performed on the second frequency point or the cell on the second frequency point, and / or, measurement is performed on the cell on the second frequency point or the cell on the second frequency point. In this way, when the first condition is met, the first terminal is unlikely to select or reselect to the first frequency point or the cell on the first frequency point, which can avoid the problem of overload caused by a large number of terminals supporting the first feature (such as terminals supporting LP-WUS) camping on the frequency band supporting the first feature.

[0246] In this embodiment, when the first condition is met, measurements are taken on the cells at the first frequency point and / or the second frequency point, or the cells at the first frequency point and / or the second frequency point. In this way, when the first condition is met, the first terminal is unlikely to select or reselect to the first frequency point or the cells at the first frequency point, which can avoid the problem of overload caused by a large number of terminals supporting the first feature (such as terminals supporting LP-WUS) camping on the frequency band supporting the first feature.

[0247] In this embodiment, when the first condition is met, random access is performed on the first frequency point and / or the second frequency point, or on the first frequency point and / or the second frequency point, based on the measurement results. In this way, when the first condition is met, the first terminal is unlikely to access the first frequency point or the cell of the first frequency point, which can avoid the problem of overload caused by a large number of terminals supporting the first feature (such as terminals supporting LP-WUS) camping on the frequency band supporting the first feature.

[0248] In this embodiment, when the first condition is met, the first priority of the first frequency point is ignored, or the first priority of the first frequency point is made ineffective. In this way, when the first condition is met, the first priority of the first frequency point is no longer used, making it difficult for the first terminal to select or reselect the first frequency point. This can avoid the problem of overload caused by a large number of terminals supporting the first feature (such as terminals supporting LP-WUS) residing on the frequency band supporting the first feature.

[0249] In this embodiment, cell selection or cell reselection is performed based on the frequency priority in the broadcast message. The frequency priority in the broadcast message makes it difficult for the first terminal to select or reselect the first frequency, thus avoiding the problem of overload caused by a large number of terminals supporting the first feature (such as terminals supporting LP-WUS) residing on the frequency band supporting the first feature.

[0250] Optionally, the measurement includes at least one of the following:

[0251] Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurements; measurements used for cell selection or cell reselection; measurements used for selecting random access resources during random access procedures.

[0252] In this embodiment, during RRM measurements, measurements for cell selection or cell reselection, and / or measurements for selecting random access resources during random access, measurements are performed on the second frequency point or cells on the second frequency point; or, measurements are performed on the first frequency point and / or the second frequency point, or cells on the first frequency point and / or the second frequency point; or, random access is performed on the first frequency point and / or the second frequency point, or cells on the first frequency point and / or the second frequency point, based on the measurement results. Thus, when the first condition is met, the first terminal is less likely to access the first frequency point or cells on the first frequency point, avoiding the overload problem caused by a large number of terminals supporting the first feature (such as terminals supporting LP-WUS) residing on the frequency band supporting the first feature.

[0253] Optionally, the resources for performing random access are configured based on at least one of the following:

[0254] The random access channel (RACH) resources configured in the frequency point or cell where the first terminal is located after cell selection or cell reselection;

[0255] Under the condition that the first condition is met, the RACH resources configured on the frequency point or in the cell where the first terminal is located;

[0256] The RACH resource configured by the dedicated message received by the first terminal before receiving the LP-WUS, PEI, or paging message.

[0257] In one implementation, when the first condition is met, the resources for the first terminal to perform RACH are: the random access channel RACH resources configured by the first terminal on the frequency point or in the cell after cell selection or cell reselection, wherein the configuration includes configuration based on system information or configuration based on dedicated messages.

[0258] In one implementation, when the first condition is met, the resources used by the first terminal to perform RACH are: the RACH resources configured on the frequency point or in the cell where the first terminal is located, i.e., the RACH resources configured by the cell or frequency point that meets the first condition. For example, this RACH resource is the RACH resource configured on the frequency point or in the cell where the first terminal receives LP-WUS, PEI, or paging, that is, the RACH resource configured on the frequency point or in the cell before cell selection or reselection. The configuration includes configuration based on system information or configuration based on dedicated messages.

[0259] Optionally, the first condition includes at least one of the following:

[0260] The first terminal receives the first low-power wake-up signal LP-WUS;

[0261] The first terminal receives the second LP-WUS, and the second LP-WUS is used to indicate waking up the first terminal or the packet to which the first terminal is located;

[0262] The first terminal receives a third LP-WUS, which is used to instruct all terminals to be woken up, or the third LP-WUS is used to instruct system information updates and / or emergency messages;

[0263] The first terminal receives the first paging early indication (PEI);

[0264] The first terminal receives a second PEI, which is used to indicate whether to wake up the first terminal or the packet to which the first terminal is located;

[0265] The first terminal receives a third PEI, which is used to instruct all terminals to be woken up, or the third PEI is used to instruct system information updates and / or emergency messages;

[0266] The first terminal receives at least one of a first paging message, the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) corresponding to the first paging message, or a first short message;

[0267] The first terminal receives at least one of a second paging message and a PDCCH corresponding to the second paging message. The second paging message or the PDCCH corresponding to the second paging message is used to indicate waking up the first terminal or the group to which the first terminal is located.

[0268] The first terminal receives at least one of a third paging message and a PDCCH corresponding to the third paging message. The third paging message or the PDCCH corresponding to the third paging message is used to indicate waking up all terminals, or system information update and / or emergency message.

[0269] The first terminal receives a second short message, which is used to indicate system information updates and / or emergency messages;

[0270] The first terminal needs to execute a random access procedure, or trigger random access, or initialize random access;

[0271] The first terminal needs to receive system information SI, or trigger the reception of SI, or initialize the reception of SI;

[0272] The frequency point of the serving cell of the first terminal is the first frequency point;

[0273] The serving cell of the first terminal is the first cell;

[0274] The frequency point of the serving cell of the first terminal has a low priority.

[0275] The frequency point of the serving cell of the first terminal has a lower priority than at least one frequency point other than the first frequency point in the first message. The first message is at least one of a broadcast message and a Dedicated Radio Resource Control (RRC) message.

[0276] The serving cell of the first terminal may refer to the current cell of the first terminal. The serving cell of the first terminal includes one of the following: the cell where the first terminal is currently camped, or the cell where the first terminal receives LP-WUS, listens to LP-SS, receives system information, receives PEI, or receives Paging.

[0277] It should be noted that when LP-WUS or Low Power Radio (LR) receivers do not support certain frequency points or bands of MR, the embodiments of this application enable the terminal to camp on LP-WUS or LR frequency points or bands during release, thereby maximizing power saving. Upon receiving LP-WUS, PEI, Paging, and / or Short messages, the terminal can camp on higher priority frequency points through cell selection or reselection, thereby achieving offload and avoiding overload issues.

[0278] In this embodiment, cell selection or cell reselection is performed after the first terminal receives the first paging message, the second paging message, the third paging message, the first short message, or the second short message. In this way, cell selection or reselection can be performed after the first terminal receives the paging message or short message, and then RACH can be performed on the cell where it is camped. This can achieve RACH offload and avoid the overload problem that may be caused by the first terminal performing RACH on the cell where the first terminal receives the first paging message, the second paging message, the third paging message, the first short message, or the second short message.

[0279] In this embodiment, cell selection, cell reselection, or random access is performed after the first terminal receives the first LP-WUS, second LP-WUS, third LP-WUS, first PEI, second PEI, or third PEI. In this way, cell selection or reselection can be performed after the first terminal receives the LP-WUS or PEI, and then paging and / or RACH can be received on the camped cell. This can achieve paging and / or RACH offload and avoid the overload problem that may be caused by the first terminal receiving paging and / or performing RACH on the cell where the first LP-WUS, second LP-WUS, third LP-WUS, first PEI, second PEI, or third PEI is received.

[0280] In this embodiment, when the first terminal needs to perform a random access procedure, or trigger random access, or initialize random access, or when the first terminal needs to receive system information (SI), or trigger receiving SI, or initialize SI reception, cell selection, cell reselection, or random access is performed. In this way, random access can be performed in the cell where the terminal camps after cell selection or cell reselection, or SI reception can be performed in the cell where the terminal camps after cell selection, cell reselection, or random access. This can achieve offload of random access or SI reception and avoid overload problems.

[0281] Optionally, the second priority includes at least one of the following:

[0282] Frequency priority for broadcast messages or system information broadcasts;

[0283] Absolute priority;

[0284] Priority inherited from the RAT other than the RAT where the first terminal is located in cell selection or cell reselection across radio access technologies (RATs);

[0285] The priority of the first frequency point is configured through dedicated messages, broadcast messages, or system information.

[0286] In this embodiment, the effective geographical range and / or effective time range of the first priority of the first frequency point are limited, thereby avoiding the overload problem by limiting the scope of the priority of the first frequency point configured for dedicated messages, broadcast messages, or system information.

[0287] Optionally, the second priority of the first frequency point satisfies at least one of the following:

[0288] The first priority is lower than the first frequency point;

[0289] Priority is lower than at least one of the second frequency points.

[0290] In one implementation, the second priority of the first frequency point is lower than the first priority of the first frequency point, making it more difficult for the first terminal to select or reselect the first frequency point.

[0291] In one implementation, the second priority of the first frequency point is lower than the priority of at least one of the second frequency points, making it more difficult for the first terminal to select or reselect the first frequency point.

[0292] Optionally, the first priority of the first frequency point includes:

[0293] The priority of the first frequency point is configured through dedicated messages, broadcast messages, or system information.

[0294] Optionally, after performing cell selection, cell reselection, or random access when the first condition is met, the method further includes:

[0295] The first terminal performs the second operation;

[0296] The execution of the second operation includes at least one of the following:

[0297] Perform measurements;

[0298] Receive SI;

[0299] Listen for or receive paging messages;

[0300] Listen for or receive PEI;

[0301] Perform random access.

[0302] In one implementation, if a first condition is met, after cell selection or reselection, the first terminal performs listening or receiving paging. Optionally, listening or receiving paging is performed. For example, if the first condition includes receiving paging, listening or receiving paging is optional.

[0303] In one implementation, if a first condition is met, after cell selection or reselection, the first terminal performs listening to or receiving PEI. Optionally, listening to or receiving PEI is performed. For example, if the first condition includes receiving PEI, listening to or receiving PEI is optional.

[0304] In one implementation, if a first condition is met, the first terminal performs RACH after cell selection or reselection.

[0305] For example, the resources for performing RACH are configured through at least one of the following:

[0306] The RACH resources configured by the frequency point or cell after cell selection or reselection, the configuration including system information-based configuration or dedicated message configuration;

[0307] The RACH resource configured by the cell or frequency point that meets the first condition, for example, is the RACH resource configured by the frequency point or cell where the first terminal receives LP-WUS, PEI, or paging, that is, the RACH resource configured by the frequency point or cell where the cell selection or reselection is performed. The configuration includes configuration based on system information or configuration based on dedicated messages.

[0308] RACH resources are configured through dedicated messages received before LP-WUS, PEI, or paging.

[0309] In this embodiment, after cell selection, cell reselection, or random access is performed under the first condition, the first terminal performs the second operation. This allows the first terminal to perform measurements, receive SI, listen for or receive paging messages, listen for or receive PEI, or perform random access within the cell it camps on after cell selection, cell reselection, or random access. This avoids a large number of terminals supporting the first feature (such as terminals supporting LP-WUS) camping on the frequency band supporting the first feature to perform measurements, receive SI, listen for or receive paging messages, listen for or receive PEI, or perform random access, thereby achieving offload of these operations and avoiding overload issues.

[0310] Optionally, before the first condition is met, or before cell selection or reselection is performed, the method further includes:

[0311] The first terminal receives second configuration information sent by the network-side device, the second configuration information being used to configure the first priority of the first frequency point.

[0312] In one implementation, before the first condition is met, or before cell selection or reselection, the first terminal receives a first priority of a first frequency point configured by the network side. The second configuration information can be configured via broadcast messages or system information, or via dedicated signaling.

[0313] In this embodiment, the first terminal receives second configuration information sent by the network-side device, so that the first terminal can perform cell selection or cell reselection through the first priority of the first frequency point configured by the network-side device, so that the first terminal can stay on the frequency band that supports the first feature (such as the frequency band that supports LP-WUS) as much as possible, thereby achieving better power saving gain and improving the energy saving effect of the terminal.

[0314] Optionally, the effective geographical range of the first priority of the first frequency point includes at least one of the following: the serving cell of the first terminal; a preset cell range, which is based on network-side device configuration or protocol predefined; all cells that the first terminal has passed through or camped on within a preset time range; and / or,

[0315] The effective time range of the first priority of the first frequency point is the preset time range configured by the network-side device or predefined by the protocol.

[0316] In one embodiment, the serving cell of the first terminal may refer to the current serving cell, that is, the cell in which the first terminal obtains the dedicated message, or one or more cells in which the first terminal camps after obtaining the dedicated message, and the dedicated message may include RRC release, etc.

[0317] In one embodiment, the starting point of the effective time range of the first priority of the first frequency point is the time when the first terminal receives the first priority.

[0318] Optionally, the start time of the effective time range of the first priority of the first frequency point is the time when the first terminal receives the second configuration information, and the second configuration information is used to configure the first priority of the first frequency point.

[0319] Optionally, if the effective geographical range and / or effective time range of the first priority of the first frequency point is not configured, the first priority remains effective until the first condition is met.

[0320] In this embodiment, if the effective geographical range and / or effective time range of the first priority of the first frequency point are not configured, the first priority remains effective until the first condition is met. By setting the effective geographical range and / or effective time range of the first priority of the first frequency point, as well as the limiting conditions for the effectiveness of the first priority of the first frequency point, the first terminal can be made to reside as much as possible on the frequency band that supports the first feature (such as the frequency band that supports LP-WUS), thereby achieving better power saving gain and improving the energy saving effect of the terminal. At the same time, it can avoid the problem of overload caused by a large number of terminals that support the first feature (such as terminals that support LP-WUS) residing on the frequency band that supports the first feature.

[0321] In one implementation, a first terminal receives a first priority of a first frequency point configured by a network-side device, and the first terminal performs cell selection or cell reselection based on the first priority. If the cell selected or reselected is not the first cell (i.e., the cell selected or reselected is not associated with the first feature), or if the frequency point selected or reselected is not the first frequency point (i.e., the frequency point selected or reselected is not associated with the first feature), the first terminal performs cell selection or cell reselection based on a second priority of the first frequency point.

[0322] Optionally, the preconditions for cell selection or cell reselection based on the first priority of the first frequency point include at least one of the following:

[0323] When the first terminal receives the first dedicated message, the first dedicated message is used to configure the first priority of the first frequency point;

[0324] If the first terminal does not meet the first condition;

[0325] Before the first terminal satisfies the first condition.

[0326] In one implementation, when the first terminal receives a first dedicated message, the first terminal performs cell selection or cell reselection based on a first priority of the first frequency point. The first dedicated message is used to configure the first priority of the first frequency point. This allows the first terminal to perform cell selection or cell reselection based on the first priority configured for the first frequency point using the first dedicated message, ensuring that the first terminal camps on a frequency band that supports the first feature (such as a frequency band supporting LP-WUS) as much as possible, thereby achieving better power saving gains and improving the terminal's energy efficiency.

[0327] In one embodiment, after the first terminal receives the first dedicated message, the first terminal performs cell selection or cell reselection based on the first priority of the first frequency point. The first dedicated message is used to configure the first priority of the first frequency point. This allows the first terminal to perform cell selection or cell reselection based on the first priority configured for the first frequency point using the first dedicated message, ensuring that the first terminal camps on a frequency band that supports the first feature (such as a frequency band supporting LP-WUS) as much as possible, thereby achieving better power saving gains and improving the terminal's energy efficiency.

[0328] In one implementation, if the first terminal does not meet the first condition, the first terminal performs cell selection or cell reselection based on the first priority of the first frequency point. Thus, before the first terminal receives LP-WUS, PEI, paging messages, or SMS messages, it uses the first priority of the first frequency point to perform cell selection or cell reselection, ensuring that the first terminal camps on a frequency band supporting the first feature (such as a frequency band supporting LP-WUS) as much as possible, thereby achieving better power saving gains and improving the terminal's energy efficiency.

[0329] In one implementation, before the first terminal meets the first condition, the first terminal performs cell selection or cell reselection based on the first priority of the first frequency point. Thus, before the first terminal receives LP-WUS, PEI, paging messages, or SMS messages, using the first priority of the first frequency point for cell selection or cell reselection ensures that the first terminal camps on a frequency band supporting the first feature (such as a frequency band supporting LP-WUS) as much as possible, thereby achieving better power saving gains and improving the terminal's energy efficiency.

[0330] Optionally, the first terminal satisfies at least one of the following conditions:

[0332] The first terminal receives the first configuration information sent by the network-side device;

[0333] The first terminal has enabled the first feature;

[0341] The network has configured LP-WUS or LR, or LP-WUS or LR related configurations, for the first terminal;

[0342] The first terminal enables the LP-WUS or LR feature, or the network enables the LP-WUS or LR feature (or other features related to LP-WUS or LR) for the first terminal;

[0343] The first terminal activates or enables the LP-WUS or LR feature, or the network activates or enables the LP-WUS or LR feature (or other features related to LP-WUS or LR) for the first terminal.

[0344] The first terminal uses LP-WUS or LR or meets the conditions for entering the use of LP-WUS or LR;

[0345] The first terminal expects to use LP-WUS or LR, or expects to achieve power saving or has power saving needs.

[0346] Optionally, the first frequency point includes at least one of the following:

[0347] Frequency points that support the first feature;

[0348] The frequency point that provides the first configuration information;

[0349] Enable the frequency point of the first feature;

[0350] Configure, activate, or enable the frequency point of the first feature;

[0351] The frequency point on the first cell.

[0352] In one embodiment, the first frequency point includes at least one of the following:

[0353] Supports frequency points of LP-WUS or LR features (or other features related to LP-WUS or LR);

[0354] It provides frequency points for LP-WUS or LR, or LP-WUS or LR related configurations;

[0355] Frequency points that enable LP-WUS or LR features (or other features related to LP-WUS or LR);

[0356] The frequency points of LP-WUS or LR feature (or other features related to LP-WUS or LR) are configured, activated, or enabled;

[0357] The frequency of the first cell. The first cell includes at least one of the following:

[0358] Cells that support LP-WUS or LR features (or other features related to LP-WUS or LR);

[0359] Cells that provide LP-WUS or LR, or LP-WUS or LR related configurations;

[0360] Cells that have enabled LP-WUS or LR features (or other features related to LP-WUS or LR);

[0361] Cells that have configured, activated, or enabled the LP-WUS or LR feature (or other features related to LP-WUS or LR).

[0362] Optionally, the first cell includes at least one of the following:

[0363] Cells that support the first feature;

[0364] The cell that provides the first configuration information;

[0365] Cells that have enabled the first feature;

[0366] Configure, activate, or enable the cell with the first feature;

[0367] Cells on the first frequency point.

[0368] In one embodiment, the first cell includes at least one of the following:

[0369] Cells that support LP-WUS or LR features (or other features related to LP-WUS or LR);

[0370] Cells that provide LP-WUS or LR, or LP-WUS or LR related configurations;

[0371] Cells that have enabled LP-WUS or LR features (or other features related to LP-WUS or LR);

[0372] Cells that have configured, activated, or enabled LP-WUS or LR features (or other features related to LP-WUS or LR);

[0373] Cells on a first frequency point, wherein the first frequency point includes at least one of the following:

[0374] Supports frequency points of LP-WUS or LR features (or other features related to LP-WUS or LR);

[0375] It provides frequency points for LP-WUS or LR, or LP-WUS or LR related configurations;

[0376] Frequency points that enable LP-WUS or LR features (or other features related to LP-WUS or LR);

[0377] The frequency points of LP-WUS or LR feature (or other features related to LP-WUS or LR) are configured, activated, or enabled.

[0378] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0379] When the first terminal receives the second dedicated message, the first terminal is enabled to perform the first operation. The second dedicated message is used to configure the second priority of the first frequency point.

[0380] In one embodiment, when the first terminal receives a second dedicated message, the first terminal enables a first function, and the second dedicated message is used to configure a second priority of the first frequency point;

[0381] The first terminal performs a first operation, including:

[0382] When the first function is enabled, the first terminal performs the first operation.

[0383] In one implementation, if a second priority is configured in a dedicated message, it implicitly represents enabling the first function.

[0384] In this embodiment, when the first terminal receives the second dedicated message, the first terminal enables the first function; when the first function is enabled, the first terminal performs the first operation. Thus, the first function can be enabled by configuring the second priority of the first frequency point.

[0385] Example scenario: In a typical network deployment, the first frequency point is usually deployed in a relatively low frequency band (i.e., the lower band), such as 700, 800, 900, 1800, 1900 or 2600MHz, while other frequency points are deployed in relatively high frequency bands (i.e., the higher band), including 1800, 1900, 2600 or 3500MHz.

[0386] Typically, the network side will assign higher priority to high-frequency bands and / or lower priority to low-frequency bands, making it easier for the first terminal to camp on the high-frequency band when there is overlap between high-frequency and low-frequency coverage. Low-frequency bands usually have wider coverage, so in areas without high-frequency band coverage (or with poor channel conditions), the first terminal will camp on the low-frequency band.

[0387] Example 1: Configuring the first priority of the first frequency point in a dedicated message

[0388] In this example, the second priority of the first frequency point is not configured, or the second priority of the first frequency point is configured via an SI message. The priorities of other frequency points are not configured, or are configured via an SI message, or via a dedicated message, or are inherited from other RATs during inter-RAT cell selection or reselection.

[0389] In this example, the second priority of the first frequency point (if it exists or is stated as such) is lower than the priority of other frequency points, and the first priority of the first frequency point is higher than the priority of other frequency points.

[0390] When the first terminal releases RRC, it performs cell selection or reselection based on the first priority of the first frequency point.

[0391] If the first terminal is camped on the first frequency, the first terminal listens for LP-WUS, PEI, Paging, or short messages on the first frequency.

[0392] If the first condition is met, the first terminal performs the aforementioned cell selection or reselection operation or executes RACH (i.e., the first operation).

[0393] Specifically, when performing cell selection or reselection, the first terminal selects or reselects the cell based on the second priority of the first frequency point configured in the SI message (if such second priority exists or is stated as such) and / or the priority of other frequency points (configured via SI or dedicated messages, or inherited from other RATs during inter-RAT cell selection or reselection, if such priority exists or is stated as such). That is, the first priority of the first frequency point configured in the dedicated message is not used for cell selection or reselection.

[0394] Example 2: Configuring the first and second priorities of the first frequency point in a dedicated message.

[0395] In this example, the priority of other frequency points is not configured, either through SI, through dedicated messages, or inherited from other RATs in inter-RAT cell selection or reselection.

[0396] In this example, the second priority of the first frequency point is lower than the priority of other frequency points, and the first priority of the first frequency point is higher than the priority of other frequency points.

[0397] When the first terminal releases RRC, it performs cell selection or reselection based on the first priority of the first frequency point.

[0398] If the first terminal is camped on the first frequency, the first terminal listens for LP-WUS, PEI, Paging, or short messages on the first frequency.

[0399] If the first condition is met, the first terminal performs the aforementioned cell selection or reselection operation or executes RACH (i.e., the first operation).

[0400] When performing cell selection or reselection, the first terminal performs cell selection or reselection based on the second priority of the first frequency point and / or the priority of other frequency points configured in the dedicated message (the priority is configured through SI or dedicated message or inherited from other RATs during inter-RAT cell selection or reselection) (if such priority exists or is stated as if it exists). That is, the first priority of the first frequency point is not used to perform cell selection or reselection by configuring the first frequency point in the dedicated message.

[0401] Example 3: Configure the first and second priorities of the first frequency point in the SI message.

[0402] In this example, the priority of other frequency points is not configured, either through SI, through dedicated messages, or inherited from other RATs in inter-RAT cell selection or reselection.

[0403] In this example, the second priority of the first frequency point is lower than the priority of other frequency points, and the first priority of the first frequency point is higher than the priority of other frequency points.

[0404] When the first terminal releases RRC, it performs cell selection or reselection based on the first priority of the first frequency point.

[0405] If the first terminal is camped on the first frequency, the first terminal listens for LP-WUS, PEI, Paging, or short messages on the first frequency.

[0406] If the first condition is met, the first terminal performs the aforementioned cell selection or reselection operation or executes RACH (i.e., the first operation).

[0407] When performing cell selection or reselection, the first terminal selects or reselects the cell based on the second priority of the first frequency point configured in the SI message and / or the priority of other frequency points (configured through the SI or dedicated message or inherited from other RATs during inter-RAT cell selection or reselection) (if such priority exists or is stated as if it exists). That is, the first priority of the first frequency point configured in the SI message is not used for cell selection or reselection.

[0408] Example 4: Configuring the second priority of the first frequency point in the SI message

[0409] In this example, the first priority of the first frequency point is not configured, or the first priority of the first frequency point is configured via a dedicated message. The priorities of other frequency points are not configured, or are configured via SI, or via a dedicated message, or are inherited from other RATs during inter-RAT cell selection or reselection.

[0410] In this example, the second priority of the first frequency point is lower than the priority of other frequency points, and the first priority of the first frequency point (if any) is higher than the priority of other frequency points.

[0411] When the first terminal is released by RRC, the first terminal directly selects or reselects the cell to the first frequency point.

[0412] If the first terminal is camped on the first frequency, the first terminal listens for LP-WUS, PEI, Paging, or short messages on the first frequency.

[0413] If the first condition is met, the first terminal performs the aforementioned cell selection or reselection operation or executes RACH (i.e., the first operation).

[0414] When performing cell selection or reselection, the first terminal selects or reselects the cell based on the second priority of the first frequency point configured in the SI message and / or the priority of other frequency points (configured through the SI or dedicated message or inherited from other RATs during inter-RAT cell selection or reselection) (if such priority exists or is stated as if it exists).

[0415] In this embodiment of the application, the S criterion or S value is the S criterion in the existing cell selection or reselection mechanism, the S value in the S criterion, and the R value is the R value in the R criterion in the existing cell selection or reselection mechanism, as follows:

[0416] S-criterion:

[0417] Cell selection criterion S is satisfied when the following conditions are met:

[0418] Srxlev>0 AND Squal>0;

[0419] Where: Srxlev=Q rxlevmeas –(Q rxlevmin +Q rxlevminoffset )–P compensation -Qoffset temp Squal = Q qualmeas –(Q qualmin +Q qualminoffset -Qoffset temp

[0420] The above parameters are all existing parameters, and the relevant parameter descriptions are as follows:

[0421] in,

[0422] R criterion: R s =Q meas,s +Q hyst -Qoffset temp R n =Q meas,n -Qoffset-Qoffset temp

[0423] The above parameters are all existing parameters, and the relevant parameter descriptions are as follows:

[0424] This application embodiment designs a cell selection or reselection mechanism to enable LP-WUS-supporting terminals to reside on LP-WUS-supporting bands as much as possible, thereby achieving better power saving gains. At the same time, to avoid the overload problem caused by a large number of LP-WUS-supporting terminals residing on LP-WUS-supporting frequency bands, the scope of frequency priority (such as first priority) and cell selection or reselection under certain conditions (such as first condition) are designed to achieve power saving while avoiding the overload problem.

[0425] This application also provides a communication operation execution method, including:

[0426] The first terminal receives the first priority of the first frequency point configured by the network-side device, and the first terminal performs cell selection or reselection according to the first priority of the first frequency point.

[0427] If the cell selected or reselected is not the first cell, or if the frequency point selected or reselected is not the first frequency point, the first terminal performs cell selection or cell reselection based on the second priority of the first frequency point.

[0428] In one implementation, the cell selected or reselected is not the first cell, which may mean that the cell selected or reselected is not associated with the first characteristic.

[0429] In one implementation, the frequency point selected or reselected by the cell is not the first frequency point, which may mean that the frequency point selected or reselected by the cell is not associated with the first characteristic.
