Description

Information processing methods, transmission methods, devices, equipment and media

[0001] This disclosure claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202510137905.1, filed with the Chinese Patent Office on February 7, 2025, entitled "Information Processing Method, Transmission Method, Apparatus, Device and Medium", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to an information processing method, transmission method, apparatus, device and medium. Background Technology

[0003] The concepts of Low Power Wake-up Signal (LP-WUS) and Low Power Wake-Up Receiver (LP-WUR) can further reduce terminal power consumption based on existing energy-saving technologies. When there is no service transmission at the base station and terminal, the power-intensive Main Radio (MR) is turned off, while the LP-WUR device is turned on to receive the low-power signal sent by the base station. When there is service transmission, the base station activates the MR through LP-WUS to complete the service transmission. This can significantly save terminal power consumption when there is no service transmission.

[0004] During LP-WUR activation, the terminal, in a low-power state, can receive wake-up information and / or cell index information carried by signals generated from at least one of the following waveforms: On-Off Keying (OOK), Frequency-Shift Keying (FSK), Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), Code Division Multiplexing (CDM), Time Division Multiplexing (TDM), and Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA). Since the information capacity carried by the generated sequence of low-power signals is relatively low (e.g., a single OFDM symbol can carry a maximum of 4 bits of OOK waveform sequence information), designing a generation sequence to improve the information carrying capacity of low-power signals has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0033] In this disclosure, the term "and / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent three cases: A alone, A and B simultaneously, and B alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0034] In this disclosure, the term "multiple" refers to two or more, and other quantifiers are similar.

[0035] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0036] To facilitate understanding of the solutions disclosed herein, the relevant content involved in this disclosure will be introduced first.

[0037] 1.1 LP-WUS Signal Generation

[0038] Related technical research focuses on the generation method of LP-WUS and Low Power Synchronizing Signal (LP-SS) based on OFDM waveform superimposed with OOK waveform. The OOK waveform requires standardization of OOK-1 waveform (see Figure 1) and OOK-4 waveform (see Figure 2). The OOK waveform carries the wake-up indication information of OOK-based LP-WUS. Whether the OFDM sequence carries OFDM-based LP-WUS wake-up indication information, and if so, how, requires further research.

[0039] OOK-1 waveform: One OFDM symbol corresponds to one single-bit. The method of mapping LP-WUS to a subcarrier (SC) is as follows:

[0040] OOK=1 means that all SCs are used for modulation, and an OFDM sequence is superimposed on the SC. This OFDM sequence carries part or all of the LP-WUS indication information.

[0041] OOK=0 means that all SCs have zero power (from the baseband perspective).

[0042] OOK-4 waveform: M-bit OOK-4 is generated in the time domain. The signal needs to undergo Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) / Least Squares (LS) before being mapped to N SCs. OFDM sequence is superimposed at the position where the bit value is 1. This OFDM sequence carries part or all of the LP-WUS indication information.

[0043] The LP-WUS signal generation sequence is generated by superimposing OFDM waveforms at the OOK ON bit positions. The jointly generated sequence is mapped onto the time-frequency domain resource positions and then transmitted after undergoing an Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT), as shown in Figure 3. OOK-based LP-WUS obtains the information carried by LP-WUS based on the ON / OFF pattern of the OOK symbol; OFDM-based LP-WUS obtains the information carried by LP-WUS based on the OFDM waveform sequence superimposed at the resource positions mapped from the OOK and OK symbols.

[0044] In related technologies, in Radio Resource Control (RRC) idle (RRC_IDLE) mode or in RRC inactive (RRC_INACTIVE) mode, the downlink control information (DCI) 2_7 in some cases is a downlink control signal generated based on OFDM signals. The wake-up indication field in the signal, based on a bitmap, simultaneously indicates whether multiple terminal groups are awake and receiving paging messages at the paging opportunity (PO) location. In Radio Resource Control connected (RRC_CONNECTED) mode, the DCI 2_6 in some cases is a downlink control signal generated based on OFDM signals. The wake-up indication field in the signal, based on a bitmap, simultaneously indicates whether multiple terminals have enabled discontinuous reception (DRX) activation to receive downlink data.

[0045] During LP-WUR activation, the terminal can receive wake-up information and / or cell index information carried by signals generated from at least one of the following waveforms: OOK waveform, FSK waveform, QPSK waveform, OFDM waveform, CDM waveform, TDM waveform, and NOMA waveform, in a low-power state. Since the information carrying capacity of the low-power signal generation sequence is relatively low (for example, a maximum of 4 bits of OOK waveform sequence information can be carried on an OFDM symbol), designing which generation sequence to improve the information carrying capacity of the low-power signal has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0046] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this disclosure provides information processing methods, transmission methods, apparatuses, devices, and media. The methods and apparatuses are based on the same concept. Since the methods and apparatuses solve problems in similar ways, their implementations can be referred to each other, and repeated details will not be repeated.

[0047] Figure 4 shows a flowchart of the information processing method provided in this embodiment of the present disclosure. This method is applied to a first device, meaning it is executed by the first device. Specifically, the method of this disclosure may include:

[0048] Step 401: Based on predefined rules and / or first configuration information, determine the first sequence generated by the first waveform carried by the first signal; the first sequence consists of N1 second sequences; the first waveform includes at least one of the following: On / Off Keying (OOK) waveform, Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) waveform, Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) waveform, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) waveform, Code Division Multiplexing (CDM) waveform, Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) waveform, and Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) waveform, where N1 is an integer greater than or equal to 1;

[0049] Step 402: According to the first sequence, obtain first wake-up indication information and / or at least part of the cell index information. The first wake-up indication information is public wake-up indication information, terminal-specific wake-up indication information, terminal group-specific wake-up indication information, or sleep indication information. The public wake-up indication information is a wake-up indication for all terminals or terminal groups associated with the first signal. The terminal or terminal group-specific wake-up indication information is a wake-up indication for at least one specific terminal or specific terminal group. The sleep indication information is used to indicate that at least one terminal or terminal group is in sleep mode.

[0050] The information processing method of this disclosure embodiment determines a first sequence of a first waveform carried by a first signal based on predefined rules and / or first configuration information; the first sequence is composed of N1 second sequences; the first waveform includes at least one of the following: OOK waveform, FSK waveform, QPSK waveform, OFDM waveform, CDM waveform, TDM waveform, NOMA waveform, where N1 is an integer greater than or equal to 1; based on the first sequence, first wake-up indication information and / or at least part of the cell index information are obtained, where the first wake-up indication information is public wake-up indication information, terminal-specific wake-up indication information, or terminal group-specific wake-up indication information. The information can be either sleep indication information, or public wake-up indication information, which is a wake-up indication for all terminals or terminal groups associated with the first signal, or terminal or terminal group-specific wake-up indication information, which is a wake-up indication for at least one specific terminal or terminal group. The sleep indication information is used to indicate that at least one terminal or terminal group is in sleep mode. In this way, the information carrying capacity can be effectively improved by carrying N1 second sequence information, which solves the problem of low information carrying capacity of low power signals in related technologies. According to predefined rules and / or first configuration information, the first wake-up indication information and / or part of the cell index information are obtained, thereby realizing the corresponding wake-up or sleep operation.

[0051] It should be noted that the first terminal can receive a low-power signal generated based on at least one of the following waveforms: OOK waveform, FSK waveform, QPSK waveform, OFDM waveform, CDM waveform, TDM waveform, and NOWA waveform, i.e., the first signal.

[0052] In some implementations, the first signal is LP-WUS and / or LP-SS.

[0053] It should be understood that the first sequence consists of N1 second sequences, where N1 is an integer greater than or equal to 1, that is, the first sequence consists of at least one second sequence.

[0054] Here, the predefined rules can be agreed upon in advance by the protocol. The first configuration information can be pre-configured by the base station for the first terminal. It should be understood that the first sequence generated by the first waveform is also a sequence generated based on the first waveform. In some implementations, the first sequence generated by the first waveform is a sequence generated based on at least one of the following: OOK waveform, FSK waveform, QPSK waveform, OFDM waveform, CDM waveform, TDM waveform, and NOMA waveform.

[0055] In one implementation, the first sequence consists of N1 second sequences, wherein the N1 second sequences are concatenated.

[0056] The first terminal demodulates the first sequence according to predefined rules and / or first configuration information, determines the correspondence between the information carried by the sequence and the terminal or terminal group, and then obtains the first wake-up indication information and / or at least part of the cell index information from the first sequence. Afterwards, the first terminal can perform corresponding operations based on the wake-up indication of the first wake-up indication information (such as waking up the terminal or putting the terminal to sleep), or it can determine the sequence position of the first sequence carried by the first signal based on at least part of the cell index information, obtain the wake-up indication information, and perform corresponding operations (such as waking up the terminal or putting the terminal to sleep).

[0057] It should be understood that public wake-up indication information, terminal-specific wake-up indication information, and terminal group-specific wake-up indication information are used to instruct at least one terminal or terminal group to wake up. In some embodiments, the generation sequence carried by the first signal consists of multiple sequences, and different sequences may carry the same or different information. For example, one sequence may carry terminal-specific wake-up indication information, and another sequence may carry sleep indication information.

[0058] Here, the first sequence generated by the first waveform carried by the first signal can carry cell index information related to at least one terminal or terminal group. By demodulating the first sequence, at least part of the cell index information can be obtained.

[0063] Here, the time-frequency domain resource information of the first signal is used by the first terminal to receive the first signal transmitted by the base station. The generation information of the first sequence can be used by the first terminal to demodulate the first sequence.

[0064] In some implementations, the generation information of the first sequence includes at least one of the following:

[0065] The number of second sequences contained in the first sequence;

[0066] The number of levels in the first sequence; it should be noted that the number of second sequences contained in the first sequence is equal to the number of levels in the first sequence, which is N1.

[0067] The number of candidate sequences for the second sequence;

[0068] The length of the second sequence;

[0069] At least one first sequence encoding method;

[0070] At least one first sequence coding code rate;

[0071] In some implementations, the second sequence type is one of the following sequences: M sequence, GOLD sequence, Walsh sequence, PN sequence, ZC sequence;

[0072] The second sequence generates information;

[0073] At least one second sequence generation parameter, which may include at least one of the following: a root parameter, a cyclic shift CS parameter, an initial value for sequence generation, and a base sequence of the sequence generation polynomial. The second sequence generates a base sequence.

[0074] In some implementations, waveform parameters may include OOK waveform parameters and / or OFDM waveform parameters. The OOK waveform parameter may be at least one of the following: OOK waveform type (including OOK-1, OOK-2, OOK-3, OOK-4, or others), M (representing the number of bits in an OFDM symbol transmission of an OOK chip / symbol), and DFT / LS size. The OFDM waveform parameter may be at least one of the following: first signal bandwidth, subcarrier spacing (SCS), and DFT / LS size. It should be noted that the DFT / LS size can be either an OOK waveform parameter or an OFDM waveform parameter.

[0075] Sequence generation rules.

[0076] It should be noted that, in the case where the base station is not configured with the first configuration information, the predefined rules include the contents contained in the aforementioned first configuration information.

[0077] In some embodiments, the second sequence carries information in at least one of the following ways:

[0078] Method 1: The N1 second sequences jointly carry wake-up indication information for at least one terminal or terminal group. The generation information of each second sequence is related to at least one of the following: the index of the second sequence in the first sequence, the number of candidate sequences of the second sequence, the number of candidate values ​​of the second sequence, the terminal index, the terminal group index, the wake-up indication information category, the monitoring opportunity (MO) group index, the MO group index, the index within the MO group, the number of terminals or terminal groups associated with the first signal, the number of terminals or terminal groups associated with the first sequence, the number of subgroups under a paging opportunity (PO), and the number of terminal groups under a PO.

[0079] Method 2: A second sequence independently carries wake-up indication information for at least one terminal or terminal group. The second sequence generation information is related to at least one of the following: the index of the second sequence in the first sequence, the number of candidate sequences of the second sequence, the number of candidate values ​​of the second sequence, the terminal index, the terminal group index, the wake-up indication information category, the MO group index, the MO group index, the MO group intra-index, the number of terminals or terminal groups associated with the first signal, the number of terminals or terminal groups associated with the first sequence, the number of subgroups under PO, and the number of terminal groups under a PO.

[0080] Method 3: The first M second sequences carry wake-up indication information category and / or wake-up indication information of at least one terminal or terminal group, and the following N1-M second sequences or N1 second sequences carry wake-up indication information of at least one terminal or terminal group, where M is an integer greater than or equal to 1. The second sequence generation information is related to at least one of the following: the index of the second sequence in the first sequence, the terminal index, the terminal group index, the MO group index, the number of terminals or terminal groups associated with the first signal, the number of terminals or terminal groups associated with the first sequence, the number of POs associated with the first sequence, and the number of discontinuous reception DRXs associated with the first sequence.

[0081] In some implementations, the second sequence generation information includes at least one of the following: a cyclic shift value, an index in the candidate sequence set, a root, and an initial sequence value.

[0082] Here, under the different methods described above, by using parameters related to the second sequence generation information, the first terminal can determine the correspondence between the information carried by the sequence and the terminal or terminal group, and then obtain the first wake-up indication information and / or at least part of the cell index information from the first sequence.

[0083] In some implementations, the wake-up indication information category includes at least one of terminal-specific wake-up indication information, terminal group-specific wake-up indication information, and common wake-up indication information.

[0084] It should be understood that all sequences of the N1 second sequences can carry wake-up indication information of the common wake-up indication information type, wake-up indication information of the terminal specific wake-up indication information type, and wake-up indication information of the terminal group specific wake-up indication information type.

[0085] Of the N1 second sequences, some sequences may carry wake-up indication information of the common wake-up indication information category, while others may carry wake-up indication information of the terminal-specific wake-up indication information category or wake-up indication information of the terminal group-specific wake-up indication information category. Alternatively, some sequences of the N1 second sequences may carry wake-up indication information of the terminal-specific wake-up indication information category, while others may carry wake-up indication information of the terminal group-specific wake-up indication information category.

[0086] The first part of the N1 second sequences can carry wake-up indication information of the common wake-up indication information category, the second part of the sequence can carry wake-up indication information of the terminal-specific wake-up indication information category, and the third part of the sequence can carry wake-up indication information of the terminal group-specific wake-up indication information category.

[0087] In some embodiments, N1 is determined based on predefined rules and / or first configuration information; the predefined rules for determining N1 include one of the following:

[0088] Rule 1: When the number of terminals or terminal groups associated with the first signal is greater than or equal to the first threshold, N1 > 1; otherwise, N1 = 1; the first threshold is configured by the base station or agreed upon by the protocol; or,

[0089] It should be understood that the number of terminals or terminal groups associated with the first signal being greater than or equal to the first threshold P1 includes two cases. Case 1: The number of terminals (groups) associated with the first terminal is greater than P1. Case 2: The number of terminals (groups) associated with the first terminal is greater than or equal to P1.

[0090] Rule 2: N1 is related to at least one of the following: the type of wake-up indication information, the number of terminals or terminal groups associated with the first signal.

[0091] Wherein, N1 is related to at least one of the following: the type of wake-up indication information, the number of terminals or terminal groups associated with the first signal, including:

[0092] The first signal carries the common wake-up indication information, N1 = 1; otherwise, the value of N1 is greater than 1 and is configured by the base station (that is, N1 is a number greater than 1 configured by the base station).

[0093] The first signal carries a common wake-up indication information, N1 = 1; otherwise, N1 is related to the number of terminals or terminal groups associated with the first signal.

[0094] In some embodiments, N1 is related to the number of terminals or terminal groups associated with the first signal, including:

[0095] N is the number of terminals or terminal groups associated with the first signal, and N2 is the number of terminals or terminal groups indicated by the second sequence. It should be understood that the number of terminals or terminal groups indicated by each second sequence is the same.

[0096] In some embodiments, when the N1 second sequences jointly carry wake-up indication information for at least one terminal or terminal group, the information carried by the second sequence with index i in the level index or first sequence is obtained through a first correspondence relationship. The first correspondence relationship is related to at least one of the following: the number of subgroups under a PO, the number of terminal groups under a PO, the MO index, the MO group index, the MO intra-group index, the terminal index, the terminal group index, the wake-up indication information category, the number of terminals or terminal groups associated with the first signal, the number of POs associated with the first sequence, the number of discontinuous reception DRXs associated with the first sequence, and the number of terminals or terminal groups associated with the first sequence. The information carried by the second sequence with index i in the level index or first sequence is used to determine at least one second sequence generation information or a second sequence generation parameter index. The at least one second sequence generation information or second sequence generation parameter index is used to determine the first wake-up indication information and / or at least some cell index information.

[0097] That is, in mode one, the information carried by the second sequence with index i in the level index or the first sequence is obtained through the first correspondence.

[0098] It should be understood that the second sequence with index i in the level index or the first sequence refers to the second sequence with index i in the level index or the second sequence with index i in the first sequence.

[0099] Based on this, in some embodiments, the first correspondence is as follows:

[0100] Where, subgroup index represents the subgroup index, UE identifier (Identifier, ID) represents the terminal identifier, and a i This represents the information carried by the index of the level or the second sequence with index i in the first sequence, b j This is the default value; f(*) is a function related to *, and the rules of the function are related to the type of wake-up indication information.

[0101] Here, the first correspondence refers to the correspondence between the information carried by the N1 second sequences and the terminal or terminal group.

[0102] The rules of function f(*) are related to the wake-up indication information category. The specific relationship can be illustrated through the following embodiments in some implementation methods.

[0103] In some embodiments, when the wake-up indication information category is terminal group-specific wake-up indication information, f(subgroup index) = subgroup index or subgroup index mod N3 or subgroup index + 1 or subgroup index mod N3 + 1;

[0104] When the wake-up indication information category is common wake-up indication information, f(subgroup index) = 0 or 1 or N3 or N3+1 or N su or N su +1;

[0105] When the wake-up indication information category is terminal-specific wake-up indication information, f(UE ID) = UE ID or UE ID mod N3 or UE ID + 1 or UE ID mod N3 + 1;

[0106] Where N3 represents the number of terminals or terminal groups associated with the first signal, N su This indicates the number of subgroups under PO.

[0107] Based on the relationship between the wake-up indication information categories and the rules of the function f(*), f(subgroup index) can be obtained. Then, using formula ①, a can be calculated through step-by-step iteration. i That is, the information carried by the index of the level or the second sequence with index i in the first sequence.

[0108] In some embodiments, or,

[0109] Among them, a j This indicates the information carried by the preceding second sequence in the first sequence or the level index or the second sequence with index i.

[0110] It should be noted that a i After the value is calculated, it can be used to determine at least one second sequence generation information or a second sequence generation parameter index. Then, the first wake-up indication information and / or at least part of the cell index information can be determined through the at least one second sequence generation information or the second sequence generation parameter index.

[0111] When a second sequence independently carries wake-up indication information for at least one terminal or terminal group, the information carried by the second sequence with index i in the level index or the first sequence is obtained through a second correspondence. The second correspondence is related to at least one of the following: the number of subgroups under a PO, the MO index, the MO group index, the MO group intra-index, the terminal index, the terminal group index, the wake-up indication information category, the number of terminals or terminal groups associated with the first signal, the number of terminals or terminal groups associated with the first sequence, the number of POs associated with the first sequence, the number of discontinuous reception DRXs associated with the first sequence, the number of candidate sequences of the second sequence, and the number of candidate values ​​of the second sequence. The information carried by the second sequence with index i in the level index or the first sequence is used to determine at least one second sequence generation information or a second sequence generation parameter index. The at least one second sequence generation information or a second sequence generation parameter index is used to determine the first wake-up indication information and / or at least some cell index information.

[0112] That is, under Method 2, the information carried by the second sequence with index i in the level index or the first sequence is obtained through the second correspondence.

[0113] Based on this, in some embodiments, the second correspondence includes one of the following: a i =f(subgroup index)-(i-1)*N2 ② a i =f(subgroup index)-i*N2; ③

[0114] Where, subgroup index represents the subgroup index, a i This represents the information carried by the second sequence with index i in the first sequence or the level index, b i For each second sequence, there is a candidate sequence or the number of candidate values; f(*) is a first function related to *, and the rules of the first function are related to at least one of the following: wake-up indication information category, number of terminals or terminal groups associated with the first signal, number of terminals or terminal groups associated with the first sequence, number of POs associated with the first sequence, number of discontinuous reception DRXs associated with the first sequence, number of subgroups under PO, terminal index, and terminal group index.

[0115] Here, the second correspondence refers to the correspondence between the information carried by the N1 second sequences and the terminal or terminal group.

[0116] The rules of the first function f(*) are related to the wake-up indication information category. The specific relationship can be illustrated through the following embodiments in some implementation methods.

[0117] In some embodiments, when the wake-up indication information category is terminal group-specific wake-up indication information, f(subgroup index) = subgroup index or subgroup index mod N3 or subgroup index + 1 or subgroup index mod N3 + 1;

[0118] When the wake-up indication information category is common wake-up indication information, f(subgroup index) = 0 or 1 or N3 or N3+1 or N su or N su +1;

[0119] When the wake-up indication information category is terminal-specific wake-up indication information, f(UE ID) = UE ID or UE ID mod N3 or UE ID + 1 or UE ID mod N3 + 1;

[0120] Where N3 represents the number of terminals or terminal groups associated with the first signal, N su This indicates the number of subgroups under PO.

[0121] Based on the relationship between the wake-up indication information categories and the rules of the first function f(*), f(subgroup index) can be obtained. Then, a can be calculated using one of formulas ② to ⑤. i That is, the information carried by the index of the level or the second sequence with index i in the first sequence.

[0122] Here, in a i After the value is calculated, it can be used to determine at least one second sequence generation information or a second sequence generation parameter index. Then, the first wake-up indication information and / or at least part of the cell index information can be determined through the at least one second sequence generation information or the second sequence generation parameter index.

[0123] In the case where the first M second sequences carry wake-up indication information categories and / or wake-up indication information for at least one terminal or terminal group, and the subsequent N1-M second sequences or N1 second sequences carry wake-up indication information for at least one terminal or terminal group, and the wake-up indication information category is terminal or terminal group-specific wake-up indication information, the information carried by the second sequence with index i in the level index or first sequence is obtained through a first correspondence or a second correspondence; wherein, the information carried by the second sequence with index i in the level index or first sequence is used to determine at least one second sequence generation information or a second sequence generation parameter index, and the at least one second sequence generation information or second sequence generation parameter index is used to determine the first wake-up indication information and / or at least some cell index information.

[0124] That is, in method three, the information carried by the second sequence with index i in the level index or the first sequence is obtained through the first correspondence or the second correspondence.

[0125] It should be understood that the wake-up indication information carried in the first M second sequences may be terminal- or terminal group-specific wake-up indication information. Alternatively, the wake-up indication information obtained through other means (such as predefined rules and / or first configuration information) may also be terminal- or terminal group-specific wake-up indication information.

[0126] In some embodiments, where the first M second sequences carry wake-up indication information categories, the first level or the first second sequence is determined by at least one candidate sequence;

[0127] The at least one candidate sequence includes a first candidate sequence and a second candidate sequence, wherein the first candidate sequence is used to indicate common wake-up indication information and the second candidate sequence is used to indicate terminal or terminal group-specific wake-up indication information.

[0128] Here, when the first sequence carries common wake-up indication information, the first sequence consists of the first M second sequences. When the first sequence carries terminal- or terminal group-specific wake-up indication information, the first sequence consists of N1 sequences, wherein the first M second sequences carry terminal- or terminal group-specific wake-up indication information, and N1-M second sequences carry wake-up indication information for at least one terminal or terminal group. In this case, the information carried by the second sequence with index i in the level index or in the first sequence is obtained through the aforementioned first or second correspondence, as detailed in the above explanation of the first or second correspondence, and will not be repeated here.

[0129] Alternatively, the at least one candidate sequence may include N4 candidate sequences, where N4 is an integer greater than 2, one of which is used to indicate common wake-up indication information, and the remaining N4-1 candidate sequences are used together with N1-N4+1 sequences to carry wake-up indication information for at least one terminal or terminal group when the wake-up indication information category is terminal or terminal group-specific wake-up indication information.

[0130] Here, among the N4 candidate sequences, one can be used to indicate common wake-up indication information, while the remaining candidate sequences are used together with other sequences to carry wake-up indication information for at least one terminal or terminal group when the wake-up indication information category is terminal- or terminal group-specific wake-up indication information. There are no candidate sequences among the N4 candidate sequences used to indicate terminal- or terminal group-specific wake-up indication information.

[0131] Here, when the first sequence carries common wake-up indication information, the first sequence is composed of the first M second sequences.

[0132] When the first sequence carries wake-up indication information specific to a terminal or terminal group, the first sequence consists of N1 sequences, wherein the N1 second sequences jointly carry wake-up indication information for at least one terminal or terminal group. In this case, the information carried by the second sequence with index i in the level index or in the first sequence is obtained through the aforementioned first correspondence or second correspondence, as detailed in the above explanation of the first correspondence or second correspondence, which will not be repeated here.

[0133] In the method of this disclosure embodiment, a correspondence between multiple sequences and terminals (groups) is designed, which is used for the terminal to obtain wake-up indication information jointly indicated by multiple sequences.

[0134] The information processing method of this disclosure embodiment determines a first sequence of a first waveform carried by a first signal based on predefined rules and / or first configuration information; the first sequence is composed of N1 second sequences; the first waveform includes at least one of the following: OOK waveform, FSK waveform, QPSK waveform, OFDM waveform, CDM waveform, TDM waveform, NOMA waveform, where N1 is an integer greater than or equal to 1; based on the first sequence, first wake-up indication information and / or at least part of the cell index information are obtained, where the first wake-up indication information is public wake-up indication information, terminal-specific wake-up indication information, or terminal group-specific wake-up indication information. The information can be either sleep indication information, or public wake-up indication information, which is a wake-up indication for all terminals or terminal groups associated with the first signal, or terminal or terminal group-specific wake-up indication information, which is a wake-up indication for at least one specific terminal or terminal group. The sleep indication information is used to indicate that at least one terminal or terminal group is in sleep mode. In this way, the information carrying capacity can be effectively improved by carrying N1 second sequence information, which solves the problem of low information carrying capacity of low power signals in related technologies. According to predefined rules and / or first configuration information, the first wake-up indication information and / or part of the cell index information are obtained, thereby realizing the corresponding wake-up or sleep operation.

In this way, the information carrying capacity can be effectively improved by carrying information through N1 second sequences, which solves the problem of low information carrying capacity of low-power signals in related technologies. It also assists the first terminal side in obtaining first wake-up indication information and / or partial cell index information according to predefined rules and / or first configuration information, thereby realizing the corresponding wake-up or sleep operation.

[0163] The OOK waveform parameters include at least one of the following: OOK waveform type (including OOK-1, OOK-2, OOK-3, OOK-4 or others), M (representing the number of bits of an OOK chip / symbol transmitted in an OFDM symbol), and DFT / LS size.

[0164] OOK sequences include one of the following sequence types: M sequence, GOLD sequence, Walsh sequence, PN sequence, ZC sequence.

[0165] Step 12: The terminal obtains wake-up indication information and / or at least part of the cell index information based on the OOK sequence carried by the LP-WUS signal.

[0166] The wake-up indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0170] The public wake-up instruction is used to wake up all terminals or terminal groups that receive this LP-WUS.

[0171] Here, the OOK sequence consists of N1 sequences, and the terminal obtains wake-up indication information based on the N1 sequences. N1 ≥ 1, and N1 is a positive integer.

[0172] N1 can be determined based on the first configuration information and / or predefined rules. The predefined rules for determining N1 can be one of the following:

[0173] Rule 1: When the number of terminals (groups) associated with the LP-WUS signal is greater than or equal to P1, the OOK sequence consists of N1 (N1>1) sequences; otherwise, N1=1.

[0174] Rule 2: The LP-WUS signal carries common wake-up indication information, N1 = 1; otherwise, N1 is a number greater than 1 configured by the base station.

[0175] Rule 3: The LP-WUS signal carries common wake-up indication information, N1 = 1; otherwise, N is the number of terminals or terminal groups associated with the first signal, and N2 is the number of terminals or terminal groups indicated by each level of the OOK sequence.

[0176] Among them, N1 sequences jointly carry the terminal or terminal group's proprietary wake-up indication information. The generation information of each sequence is related to the level index i (i = 1 to N1 or 0 to N1-1) of the sequence, the number of candidate sequences or the number of candidate values ​​b of each level sequence. i Terminal index, terminal group index, wake-up indication information category, MO index, MO group index, MO group intra-index, number of terminals or terminal groups associated with LP-WUS signals or OOK sequences (N3), number of subgroups under PO (N). su At least one of the following is relevant: the number of terminal groups under a PO.

[0182] Terminal group-specific wake-up indication information: f(subgroup index) = subgroup index or subgroup index mod N3 or subgroup index + 1 or subgroup index mod N3 + 1;

Then, through the at least one sequence generation information or sequence generation parameter index, wake-up indication information and / or at least part of the cell index information are determined.

[0187] Example 1: Taking Table 1 below as an example, LP-WUS uses two sequences (the first sequence is an 8-bit Walsh sequence, and the second sequence is a 4-bit Walsh sequence) to jointly indicate the terminal group wake-up indication information. The correspondence between the indices of the two-level sequences and the wake-up terminal group index is shown in the table below. The terminal derives the wake-up terminal group index based on the indices of the two-level sequences. If LP-WUS carries common wake-up indication information, then the index indicated by LP-WUS is the terminal group index = the number of wake-up terminal groups;

[0190] The correspondence between the two-level sequence index and the wake-up terminal group index is shown in the table below. The terminal derives the wake-up terminal group index based on the two-level sequence index. If LP-WUS carries common wake-up indication information, then LP-WUS carries only one fixed sequence. When the terminal receives this sequence, it obtains the common wake-up indication information.

[0191] Table 2: Two sequences jointly indicate 32 subgroups (Level 2 sequences carry terminal group-specific wake-up indication information, Level 1 sequences carry common wake-up indication information).

[0192] Step 13: The terminal performs corresponding operations based on the acquired wake-up indication information and / or at least part of the cell index information. For example, if the wake-up indication information is a wake-up indication information specific to the terminal group or a common wake-up indication information, then it wakes up; otherwise, it continues to sleep.

[0238] The sequence generation information includes at least one of the following: cyclic shift value, index in the candidate sequence set, root, and initial value of the sequence.

[0239] Each first-level sequence includes at least one candidate sequence, which falls into the following two categories:

[0240] Case 1: Each level of sequence includes two candidate sequences. The first candidate sequence is used to indicate common wake-up indication information, and the second candidate sequence is used to indicate terminal (group) specific wake-up indication information.

[0241] If the OOK sequence carries common wake-up indication information, then there is only one OOK sequence;

[0242] If the OOK sequence carries terminal (group) specific wake-up indication information, the OOK sequence consists of N1 sequences, and N1-1 sequences carry terminal (group) wake-up indication information. The correspondence between the information carried by the N1-1 sequences and the terminals (groups) is as follows: Or f(UE ID);

[0243] f(*) is a function related to *. The rules of the function are related to the type of wake-up indication message. Specifically:

[0244] Common wake-up indication information: f(subgroup index) = 0 or 1 or N3 or N3+1 or N su or N su +1;

[0245] Terminal group-specific wake-up indication information: f(subgroup index) = subgroup index or subgroup index mod N3 or subgroup index + 1 or subgroup index mod N3 + 1;

[0246] Terminal-specific wake-up indication information: f(UE ID) = UE ID or UE ID mod N3 or UE ID + 1 or UE ID mod N3 + 1.

[0248] or,

[0249] Where, subgroup index represents the subgroup index, UE ID represents the terminal identifier, and a j This represents the information carried by the sequence preceding the sequence at level index i, a i This indicates the information carried by the sequence with index i at level i, b j This is the default value. i The value of is used to determine at least one sequence generation information or sequence generation parameter index. Then, through the at least one sequence generation information or sequence generation parameter index, wake-up indication information and / or at least part of the cell index information are determined.

[0250] Example 1: Taking Table 3 below as an example, when LP-WUS carries terminal group-specific wake-up indication information, it consists of two sequences (the first sequence is an 8-bit Walsh sequence, and the second sequence is a 4-bit Walsh sequence); when LP-WUS carries common wake-up indication information, it contains only one sequence.

[0251] The correspondence between the two-level sequence index and the wake-up terminal group index is shown in the table below. The terminal derives the wake-up terminal group index based on the two-level sequence index. If LP-WUS carries common wake-up indication information, then LP-WUS carries only one fixed sequence. When the terminal receives this sequence, it obtains the common wake-up indication information.

[0252] Table 3: Two sequences jointly indicate 32 subgroups (Level 2 sequences carry terminal group-specific wake-up indication information, Level 1 sequences carry common wake-up indication information).

[0253] Case 2: Each level sequence includes N4 candidate sequences (N4>2). The first candidate sequence is used to indicate common wake-up indication information. The remaining N4-1 candidate sequences and the subsequent N1-N4+1 sequences, when the wake-up indication information category is terminal or terminal group-specific wake-up indication information, jointly carry the wake-up indication information of at least one terminal or terminal group.

[0254] If the OOK sequence carries common wake-up indication information, then there is only one OOK sequence;

[0255] If the OOK sequence carries terminal (group) specific wake-up indication information, the OOK sequence consists of N1 sequences, each carrying terminal (group) specific wake-up indication information. The correspondence between the information carried by the N1 sequences and the terminals (groups) is as follows: Or f(UE ID);

[0256] f(*) is a function related to *. The rules of the function are related to the type of wake-up indication message. Specifically:

[0257] Common wake-up indication information: f(subgroup index) = 0 or 1 or N3 or N3+1 or N su or N su +1;

[0258] Terminal group-specific wake-up indication information: f(subgroup index) = subgroup index or subgroup index mod N3 or subgroup index + 1 or subgroup index mod N3 + 1;

[0259] Terminal-specific wake-up indication information: f(UE ID) = UE ID or UE ID mod N3 or UE ID + 1 or UE ID mod N3 + 1.

[0260] a i This indicates the information carried by the sequence with index i at level i, and b. j The relationship is related to f(subgroup index); the relationship can be:

[0261] or,

[0262] Where, subgroup index represents the subgroup index, UE ID represents the terminal identifier, and a j This represents the information carried by the sequence preceding the sequence at level index i, a i This indicates the information carried by the sequence with index i at level i, b j This is the default value. i The value of is used to determine at least one sequence generation information or sequence generation parameter index. Then, through the at least one sequence generation information or sequence generation parameter index, wake-up indication information and / or at least part of the cell index information are determined.

[0263] Step 33: The terminal performs corresponding operations based on the acquired wake-up indication information and / or at least part of the cell index information. For example, if the wake-up indication information is a wake-up indication information specific to the terminal group or a common wake-up indication information, then it wakes up; otherwise, it continues to sleep.

[0264] Example 4: Method 3 for generating multi-level OOK sequences carried by LP-WUS signals

[0265] Step 41: The terminal determines the reception information of the OOK sequence carried by the LP-WUS signal based on the first configuration information and / or predefined rules. This reception information is used to receive and demodulate the OOK sequence.

[0275] Here, the OOK sequence consists of N1 sequences, and the terminal obtains wake-up indication information based on the N1 sequences. N1 ≥ 1, and N1 is a positive integer.

[0276] N1 can be determined based on the first configuration information and / or predefined rules. The predefined rules for determining N1 can be one of the following:

[0277] Rule 1: When the number of terminals (groups) associated with the LP-WUS signal is greater than or equal to P1, the OOK sequence consists of N1 (N1>1) sequences; otherwise, N1=1.

[0278] Rule 2: The LP-WUS signal carries common wake-up indication information, N1 = 1; otherwise, N1 is a number greater than 1 configured by the base station.

[0279] Rule 3: The LP-WUS signal carries common wake-up indication information, N1 = 1; otherwise, N is the number of terminals or terminal groups associated with the first signal, and N2 is the number of terminals or terminal groups indicated by each level of the OOK sequence.

[0286] If the OOK sequence carries terminal (group) specific wake-up indication information, the OOK sequence consists of N1 sequences, and N1-1 sequences carry terminal (group) wake-up indication information. The correspondence between the information carried by the N1-1 sequences and the terminals (groups) is a. i = f(subgroupindex) - (i-2) * N2 or a i =f(subgroupindex)-(i-1)*N2;

The sequence at level index i carries N2 terminal (group) specific wake-up indication information and / or common wake-up indication information. The correspondence between the information carried by the N1 sequences and the terminals (groups) is a. i = f(subgroupindex)-(i-1)*N2 or a i = f(subgroupindex) - i * N2;

Then, through the at least one sequence generation information or sequence generation parameter index, wake-up indication information and / or at least part of the cell index information are determined.

[0302] Step 43: The terminal determines the sequence position of the OOK sequence carried by the LP-WUS signal based on the terminal index or terminal group index, and obtains the wake-up indication information. If the wake-up indication information indicates a wake-up indication information specific to the terminal group or a common wake-up indication information, then the terminal wakes up; otherwise, it continues to sleep.
