It is understood that the aforementioned functional modules can be network elements in hardware devices, software functional modules running on dedicated hardware, or virtualized functional modules instantiated on a platform (e.g., a cloud platform).

[0074] To better understand the technical solution of this application, the paging related to this application is explained below.

[0075] In NR, paging can be divided into two categories based on the source of the paging message: 5G Core Network (5GC) paging and Radio Access Network (RAN) paging.

[0076] Among them, 5GC paging originates from 5GC. When downlink data arrives at the terminal (UE) in the Radio Resource Control (RRC) idle (RRC_IDLE) state, 5GC notifies the terminal (UE) through a paging message.

[0077] Among them, RAN paging originates from gNB. When downlink data arrives at a UE in the RRC deactivated (RRC_INACTIVE) state, gNB notifies the UE to start data transmission via RAN paging message.

[0078] The final paging message is sent from the gNB to the UE via the air interface.

[0079] Paging messages are carried by the Paging Control Channel (PCCH), the data blocks of the PCCH are carried by the Paging Channel (PCH), and the data blocks of the PCH are carried by the Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH).

[0080] Since the PDSCH is a downlink shared physical channel, it can carry not only the PCH but also the downlink shared channel (DL-SCH). Therefore, before receiving a paging message (such as one carried on the PDSCH), the terminal needs to listen to the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) and then determine whether the network has sent a paging message to it in the current paging cycle based on whether the PDCCH carries the Paging Radio Network Temporary Identity (P-RNTI).

[0081] In addition to sending paging messages, the Downlink Control Information (DCI) that schedules paging messages can also carry short messages and indications of the availability of Tracking Reference Signal (TRS) resources.

[0082] Paging messages refer to the message content sent by the base station.

[0083] A paging message carries a paging record list (PagingRecordList). The PagingRecordList contains at least one paging record (PagingRecord) and at most maxNrofPageRec pagingRecords. Each pagingRecord carries the paging identifier (ue_Identity) of the paging UE. In other words, a single paging message can indicate that at most maxNrofPageRec UEs have been paging.

[0084] There are two types of identifiers for the paged UE: one for paging UEs in an idle state, namely the Next Generation 5G Serving-Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity (ng-5G-S-TMSI); and the other for paging UEs in an inactive state, namely the Full Inactive Radio Network Temporary Identity (full I-RNTI). The UE receiving the paging message is either in an idle or inactive state.

[0085] To better understand the technical solution of this application, the following explains the paging frame (PF) and paging occasion (PO) related to this application.

[0086] A PF is a radio frame that can contain one or more POs. A PO is a subframe that may contain a paging message.

[0087] If the terminal knows the paging cycle, PF, and PO, it can know the exact time when it receives the paging message.

[0088] To reduce power consumption in RRC_IDLE or RRC_INACTIVE states, the UE uses Discontinuous Reception (DRX) to receive paging messages. A DRX cycle contains several Page Factors (PFs), and each PF corresponds to several Page Points (POs). The UE wakes up only once per DRX cycle to monitor one PO. The UE listens to one PO in each DRX cycle. A PO is a set of Monitoring Occasions (MOs) and can include multiple time slots that can transmit paging DCIs (e.g., subframes or Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols). Each MO corresponds to a beam of a Single Street Segment (SSB).

[0089] The DRX period represents the period during which the UE detects paging, PF represents the system frame for detecting paging, PO represents the specific PDCCH listening time for detecting paging, and i_s represents the index of the PO corresponding to PF.

[0090] For example, the calculation method is as follows:

[0091] PF: (SFN+PF_offset)mod T=(T div N)*(UE_ID mod N);

[0092] i_s: i_s=floor(UE_ID / N)mod Ns;

[0093] The parameters are explained as follows:

[0094] T represents the DRX period; the system message will have a cell-level indication Tc, and the RRC may also have a UE-level indication Tue. If there is no indication Tue, then T = Tc; if there is an indication Tue, then T = min(Tc, Tue).

[0095] N represents the total number of PFs in T;

[0096] Ns represents the number of POs corresponding to one PF;

[0097] PF_offset represents the offset of PF;

[0098] UE_ID represents 5G-S-TMSI mod 1024;

[0099] The Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identifier (TMSI) can be used to uniquely distinguish different UEs, and it is also used in Msg3 for random access.

[0100] When the UE does not have a TMSI, the default UE_ID = 0.

[0101] All of these parameters are indicated in PCCH-config, which can be configured as follows:

[0102] To better understand the technical solution of this application, the following explains the paging early indication (PEI) related to this application.

[0103] In 5G NR, UEs in idle mode need to perform Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurements and listen for the paging PDCCH in each paging cycle. The paging PDCCH is a PDCCH scrambled with Cyclical Redundancy Check (CRC) using the Paging Radio Network Temporary Identity (P-RNTI). The terminal then receives the corresponding paging PDSCH based on the detected paging PDCCH. Since the paging probability of a terminal within a PO group is about 10%, the terminal will not receive its own paging in approximately 90% of cases, thus wasting power during this 90% paging listening period.

[0104] To reduce terminal power consumption, 5G NR introduces PEI (Pre-Initial Input). The UE receives the PEI before receiving the paging PDCCH. This PEIDCI is carried by the PDCCH scrambled with PEI-RNTI. Based on the indication in the PEI, the UE determines in advance whether it needs to listen to subsequent paging PDCCHs. If the PEI indicates that the UE does not need to listen to paging, the UE can skip receiving one or more synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) before paging, as well as skip receiving the paging PDCCH or paging PDSCH, thereby saving power consumption. For example, the PEI can be shown in Figure 2.

[0105] The number of SSBs detected varies depending on the terminal's coverage performance. For example, as shown in Figure 3, the number of SSBs detected differs across three Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (SINR) scenarios: low SINR, medium SINR, and high SINR. Without paging transmission, the network-side device does not send a PEI to the terminal. The terminal does not detect the PEI and does not listen for subsequent SSBs. With paging transmission, the network-side device instructs the terminal to listen for one or more SSBs after the PEI, as well as the PO, via the PEI. In the low SINR scenario, the terminal listens for all SSBs between the PEI and the PO; in the high SINR scenario, the terminal skips all SSBs between the PEI and the PO.

[0106] To better understand the technical solution of this application, the random access process related to this application is explained below.

[0107] In related technologies, the random access procedure can be either a contention-based random access procedure or a non-contention-based random access procedure. The random access procedure can be a four-step random access procedure (also known as a Type-1 random access procedure) or a two-step random access procedure (also known as a Type-2 random access procedure).

[0108] In the contention-based four-step random access procedure (4-step RACH), the UE first sends Message1 (Msg1), containing a preamble, to the network device. Upon detecting the preamble, the network device will send Message2 (Msg2) or a random access response. The Response (RAR) message contains the identifier of the preamble detected by the network-side device, as well as the uplink radio resources allocated to the UE for sending Message 3 (Msg3) in the random access procedure. After receiving Msg2, the UE confirms that at least one of the preamble identifiers carried in Msg2 matches the identifier of the preamble it sent. Then, the UE sends Msg3 containing contention resolution information according to the resources indicated by the RAR. After receiving Msg3, the network-side device sends Message 4 (Msg4) in the random access procedure containing contention resolution information. When the UE receives Msg4, it confirms that the contention resolution information is consistent with the contention resolution information it sent in Msg3. In this case, the UE confirms that the four-step random access (RACH) has been completed.

[0109] The network-side device includes uplink grant (UL grant) information in the RAR to indicate the scheduling information for the Msg3 Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), and also includes information such as the Random Access Preamble ID (RAPID), Temporary Cell Radio Network Temporary Identity (TC-RNTI), and Timing Advance (TA). If the network-side device does not receive the Msg3 PUSCH, it can schedule a retransmission of the Msg3 PUSCH in the PDCCH scrambled by the TC-RNTI.

[0110] In a contention-based random access procedure, different UEs randomly select a preamble for transmission. This means different UEs might select the same preamble to transmit on the same time-frequency radio resource (RACH Occasion, RO) resource, a situation known as UE preamble conflict. In this case, different UEs will receive the same RAR (Range Access Registry). Then, based on the scheduling information in the UL grant carried in the RAR, different UEs will transmit the Msg3 PUSCH. Since related technologies do not support repeated transmission of the Msg3 PUSCH, the network-side device can only decode one UE-transmitted PUSCH (containing contention resolution information) on a single Msg3 PUSCH scheduling resource. Therefore, the network-side device will include the contention resolution information received in Msg3 in Msg4. If the contention resolution information received by the UE in Msg4 matches the contention resolution information sent by the UE in Msg3 PUSCH, the UE considers the contention resolution successful. If the contention resolution information received by the UE in Msg4 does not match the contention resolution information sent by the UE in Msg3 PUSCH, the contention resolution is considered unsuccessful.

[0111] If contention resolution fails, the UE will reselect RACH transmission resources to transmit via the Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) for the next random access attempt.

[0112] In a two-step random access procedure (2-step RACH), the first step is for the UE to send Message A (MsgA) to the network-side device. Upon receiving MsgA, the network-side device sends Message B (MsgB) to the UE. If the UE does not receive MsgB within a certain time, it increments a counter counting the number of MsgA transmissions and retransmits MsgA. If the counter reaches a certain threshold, the UE switches from 2-step RACH to 4-step RACH. MsgA includes a MsgA preamble and a MsgA PUSCH. The MsgA preamble is sent on the Resource Order (RO) used for 2-step RACH, and the MsgA PUSCH is sent on the MsgA PUSCH resource associated with the RO that sent the MsgA preamble. MsgA PUSCH resources are a set of PUSCH resources configured relative to each PRACH slot, including time-frequency resources and demodulation reference signal (DMRS) resources.

[0113] For random access configurations, Time Division Duplex (TDD) and Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) use different PRACH configuration tables.

[0114] For example, the PRACH configuration table used by FDD can be shown in Table 1 below.

[0115] For example, the PRACH configuration table used in TDD can be shown in Table 2 below.

[0256] Optionally, the specific frequency domain unit can be the lowest frequency domain unit or the highest frequency domain unit.

[0257] Optionally, the specific frequency domain unit for the terminal to receive the first information can be the lowest frequency domain unit for the terminal to receive the first information, or the specific frequency domain unit for the terminal to receive the first information can be the highest frequency domain unit for the terminal to receive the first information.

[0259] Optionally, R2 can be a value explicitly indicated by the first information, or R2 can be a predefined value.

[0260] Optionally, the specific frequency domain unit in the set of frequency domain units in which the terminal receives the first information may be the lowest frequency domain unit in the set of frequency domain units in which the terminal receives the first information, or the specific frequency domain unit in the set of frequency domain units in which the terminal receives the first information may be the highest frequency domain unit in the set of frequency domain units in which the terminal receives the first information.

[0261] Optionally, the set of frequency domain units for the terminal to receive the first information can be the frequency domain range for the terminal to receive the first information. For example, taking a paging message as the first information, the set of frequency domain units for the terminal to receive the paging message can be the frequency range where the paging cluster is located.

[0262] For example, taking the second information as PRACH and the starting frequency domain unit of the second information as the PRACH start frequency unit, the PRACH start frequency unit (such as PRB) includes at least one of the following:

[0263] The PRACH start frequency unit is relative to the specific frequency domain unit (such as PRB) where the paging PDCCH is located, such as the lowest frequency unit or the highest frequency unit.

[0264] The PRACH start frequency unit is relative to the specific frequency unit (such as PRB) where the paging PDSCH is located, such as the lowest frequency unit or the highest frequency unit;

[0265] The PRACH start frequency unit is a specific frequency unit relative to the set of frequency units in which the paging PDCCH is located (e.g., the frequency range in which the paging cluster is located), such as the lowest or highest frequency unit.

[0266] The PRACH start frequency unit is a specific frequency unit relative to the set of frequency units in which the paging PDSCH is located (e.g., the frequency range in which the paging cluster is located), such as the lowest or highest frequency unit.

[0267] In some embodiments, the frequency domain reference point includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following:

[0268] The terminal receives a specific frequency domain unit of the first information, and the terminal receives a specific frequency domain unit from the set of frequency domain units of the first information.

[0269] For example, taking the second information as PRACH and the starting frequency domain unit of the second information as the PRACH start frequency unit, the frequency domain reference point includes at least one of the following:

[0273] The specific frequency unit of the frequency unit set where the corresponding paging PDSCH is located (e.g., the frequency range where the paging cluster is located), such as the first or last frequency unit of the frequency unit set.

[0274] In some embodiments, the number of frequency division multiplexing transmission opportunities for the second information is determined based on the frequency division multiplexing transmission opportunities for the second information on consecutive frequency domain units, or the number of frequency division multiplexing transmission opportunities for the second information is determined based on the frequency division multiplexing transmission opportunities for the second information on available frequency domain units.

[0275] In some embodiments, the available frequency domain unit is associated with at least one of the following:

[0276] Full-duplex mode is used to trigger WUS resources for on-demand signals or channels (such as on-demand SSB, on-demand SIB, on-demand paging messages, etc.).

[0277] For example, in the case of SBFD, the downlink subband of the uplink is a frequency unit where the transmission of the second information is unavailable.

[0278] For example, the WUS resources used to trigger on-demand signals or channels (such as on-demand SSB, on-demand SIB, on-demand paging messages, etc.) are frequency units where the transmission of second information is unavailable.

[0279] For example, the frequency domain cell where the WUS resource used to trigger on-demand signals or channels (such as on-demand SSB, on-demand SIB, on-demand paging messages, etc.) is located is a frequency cell where the transmission of the second information is unavailable, and / or, the frequency domain cell at an interval of not less than a fifth specific time interval (such as Ngap5) from the WUS resource used to trigger on-demand signals or channels is a frequency cell where the transmission of the second information is unavailable.

[0280] In some embodiments, the resource configuration identifier of the second information is used to indicate one of the following:

[0281] At least one resource configuration table of the second information;

[0282] The resource in at least one row of the resource configuration table of the second information;

[0283] The resources in at least one column of the resource configuration table of the second information;

[0284] At least one resource configuration in the resource configuration list of the second information;

[0285] The resource configuration list is a list within an RRC message.

[0286] Optionally, the resource configuration table for the second information can be designed with reference to Table 1 or Table 2 above. For example, taking PRACH as the second information, the resource configuration table can be as shown in Table 1 or Table 2 above. Of course, the resource configuration table can also be redesigned with reference to Table 1 or Table 2 above, and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0287] Optionally, the resource configuration list is a list within an RRC message (such as a paging message). For example, taking PRACH as the second information, the resource configuration list can be a newly introduced list within the RRC message (such as a paging message), such as the PRACH configuration list (prachConfigurationList), as shown below:

[0288] In some embodiments, the resource configuration table is determined by at least one of the following:

[0289] The first information;

[0290] System message;

[0291] RRC signaling or Media Access Control (MAC) signaling;

[0292] Physical layer signaling (such as DCI signaling);

[0293] The first agreement stipulates the information.

[0294] In some embodiments, the granularity of the resource indicated by the first information for the second information includes at least one of the following:

[0295] SSB, SSB group, terminal, UE group, paging group, frequency band, frequency band combination, TRP, cell, cell group, carrier, carrier group, tracking area, radio identification area (RAN Notification Area, RNA).

[0296] For example, a resource-independent indication of the second information associated with per SSB.

[0297] For example, a resource-independent indication of the second information associated with per SSB group.

[0298] In some embodiments, the information transmission method 200 further includes:

[0299] The terminal receives third information;

[0300] The third information is used to activate the resources of the second information;

[0301] The third information includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following:

[0302] Specific control channels, paging control channels (such as Paging PDCCH), paging data channels (such as Paging PDSCH), downlink WUS signals, uplink WUS signals, and feedback signals of uplink WUS signals;

[0303] The specific control channel includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following:

[0304] The PDCCH carrying PEI, the PDCCH for activating SSB, the PDCCH for activating SIB, the PDCCH for activating paging messages, the PDCCH for activating the common search space, and the PDCCH for activating PRACH.

[0305] To further conserve energy, the resources of the second information can be dynamically activated; for example, some resources of the second information can be dynamically activated or deactivated. In this embodiment, the terminal can activate some resources of the second information based on the third information.

[0306] It should be noted that some or all of the PDCCH used to activate SSB, PDCCH used to activate SIB, PDCCH used to activate paging messages, PDCCH used to activate the common search space, and PDCCH used to activate PRACH may be the same, and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0307] For example, a network-side device may activate a portion of the resources of the second information by a PDCCH instruction carrying PEI, and / or, a network-side device may activate a portion of the resources of the second information by a PDCCH instruction for activating SSB, and / or, a network-side device may activate a portion of the resources of the second information by a PDCCH instruction for activating SIB, and / or, a network-side device may activate a portion of the resources of the second information by a PDCCH instruction for activating paging messages, and / or, a network-side device may activate a portion of the resources of the second information by a PDCCH instruction for activating the common search space, and / or, a network-side device may activate a portion of the resources of the second information by a PDCCH instruction for activating PRACH.

[0308] For example, the resource for the second information configured in a paging control channel (such as Paging PDCCH) is the activation resource.

[0309] For example, the resource for the second information configured in a paging data channel (such as Paging PDSCH) is the activation resource.

[0310] For example, a PRACH resource (such as a RO resource) is a periodic RO resource determined based on a row in the PRACH configuration table pointed to by the PRACH resource configuration identifier. The specific RO resources that are active among these periodic RO resources are dynamically indicated by paging.

[0311] For example, after the network side sends the paging message, the terminal needs to receive the corresponding downlink WUS signal to determine the resources of the activated second information.

[0312] For example, after the network side sends the paging message, the terminal needs to send the corresponding uplink WUS signal to determine the resource of the activated second information (for example, the uplink WUS signal directly indicates the resource index of the predefined second information).

[0313] For example, the resource associated with the reference signal (such as SSB or paging) activated by the uplink WUS signal is the resource of the activated second information.

[0314] For example, after the network side sends the paging message, the terminal needs to send the corresponding uplink WUS signal to activate the SSB resource. The network side tells the terminal the second information resource to be activated in the feedback signal of the uplink WUS signal.

[0315] In some embodiments, the activation method of the resource of the second information is determined by at least one of the following:

[0316] The first information;

[0317] System message;

[0318] RRC signaling or MAC signaling;

[0319] Physical layer signaling (such as DCI);

[0320] The resource type of the second information.

[0321] For example, for resources configured with the second information in the paging message, activation can be performed directly or by default.

[0322] For example, for resources with second information configured in SIB 1, paging message activation or WUS activation is required.

[0323] In some embodiments, the activation granularity of the resources in the second information includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following:

[0324] SSB, SSB group, terminal, terminal group, paging group, frequency band, frequency band combination, TRP, cell, cell group, carrier, carrier group, tracking area, RNA.

[0325] For example, the resources associated with the second information per SSB are activated independently.

[0326] For example, the resources associated with the second information per SSB group are activated independently.

[0327] For example, for at least two UEs in paging, the resources of the activated second information corresponding to each UE may be different, or there may be a time domain offset between the starting time domain units of the resources of the activated second information corresponding to each UE.

[0328] For example, for at least two UEs in paging, the at least two UEs can be divided into at least two UE groups, and the resources of the activated second information corresponding to each UE group can be different, or there can be a time domain offset between the starting time domain units of the resources of the activated second information corresponding to each UE group.

[0329] In some embodiments, the information transmission method 200 further includes:

[0330] The terminal determines the target transmission timing of the second information based on the first association relationship or the second association relationship;

[0331] Wherein, the target transmission timing is the transmission timing at which the terminal sends or receives the second information;

[0332] Wherein, the first correlation relationship is the correlation relationship between the transmission timing of the reference signal and the second information;

[0333] The second association relationship includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: the association relationship between the paging timing and the transmission timing of the second information, the association relationship between the paging frame and the transmission timing of the second information, and the association relationship between the paging monitoring timing and the transmission timing of the second information.

[0334] In this embodiment, the terminal determines the target transmission time of the second information based on the first association relationship or the second association relationship, so that the terminal can send or receive the second information at the transmission time of the second information.

[0335] In some embodiments, the reference signal includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following:

[0336] SSB, WUS, Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS), Tracking Reference Signal (TRS), Positioning Reference Signal (PRS), Phase Tracking Reference Signal (PTRS), and Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS).

[0337] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the target transmission timing of the second information based on a first association or a second association, including one of the following:

[0338] The terminal activates a portion of the resources of the second information based on the third information, and the terminal determines the target transmission timing from the activated portion of the resources of the second information based on the first association relationship or the second association relationship.

[0339] The terminal activates a portion of the resources of the second information that have the first correlation with the reference signal according to the third information, wherein the activated portion of the resources of the second information is the target transmission timing;

[0340] The terminal activates a portion of the resources of the second information that has a second association with the paging timing based on the third information, wherein the activated portion of the second information resources is the target transmission timing;

[0341] The terminal activates a portion of the resources of the second information that has the second association relationship with the paging frame according to the third information, wherein the activated portion of the resources of the second information is the target transmission timing;

[0342] The terminal activates a portion of the resources of the second information that has a second association with the paging listening timing based on the third information, wherein the activated portion of the second information resources is the target transmission timing.

[0343] In this embodiment, the terminal may first activate a portion of the resources of the second information based on the third information, and then determine the target transmission timing from the activated portion of the second information based on the first association relationship or the second association relationship; or, the terminal may first determine a portion of the resources of the second information based on the first association relationship or the second association relationship, and then activate a portion of the resources of the second information based on the third information, wherein the activated portion of the second information is the target transmission timing.

[0344] In this embodiment, the terminal first activates a portion of the resources of the second information based on the third information, and then establishes a first association relationship between the activated portion of the second information resources and the reference signal based on a specific rule; or, the terminal first activates a portion of the resources of the second information based on the third information, and then establishes a second association relationship between the activated portion of the second information resources and the paging timing or paging frame or paging listening timing based on a specific rule.

[0345] In this embodiment, the terminal first establishes a first association between the resources of the second information and the reference signal based on specific rules, and then activates some resources from the resources that have a first association with the reference signal for transmission based on the third information; or, the terminal first establishes a second association between the resources of the second information and the paging timing, paging frame, or paging listening timing based on specific rules, and then activates some resources from the resources that have a second association with the paging timing, paging frame, or paging listening timing for transmission based on the third information.

[0346] In some embodiments, the configuration granularity of the first association relationship includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following:

[0347] SSB, SSB group, terminal, terminal group, paging group, frequency band, frequency band combination, TRP, cell, cell group, carrier, carrier group, tracking area, RNA.

[0348] In some embodiments, the first association is determined by at least one of the following:

[0349] The first information includes system messages, RRC signaling or MAC signaling, physical layer signaling, and the second protocol-defined information.

[0350] In some embodiments, the second association is determined by at least one of the following:

[0351] The first information includes system messages, RRC signaling or MAC signaling, physical layer signaling, and third protocol-defined information.

[0352] For example, taking the reference signal as SSB, the second information as PRACH, and the transmission timing of the second information as RO, the paging message dynamically indicates the association relationship between SSB and RO. For instance, it can specify the association ratio between SSB and RO and the preamble. Another example is specifying one or more SSB indices corresponding to the RO resources configured in the paging message.

[0353] For example, taking SSB as the reference signal, PRACH as the second information, and RO as the transmission timing of the second information, the RO resources are activated first, and then the association between SSB and RO is considered. For instance, for the configured RO resources, paging activates a group of ROs, and then this group of ROs is associated with SSB according to specific rules, or the network side directly specifies the association between the ROs in this group of ROs and the preamble with SSB.

[0354] For example, taking SSB as the reference signal, PRACH as the second information, and RO as the transmission timing of the second information, the association between SSB and RO is performed first, and then the RO is activated. For instance, for the configured RO resources, they are first associated with a set of SSBs according to specific rules. Then, paging activates some of the RO resources associated with the SSBs selected by the terminal.

[0355] For example, the mapping from SSB to RO includes:

[0356] The mapping from SSB to RO time-frequency, and / or the mapping from SSB to RO sequence-related resources.

[0357] For example, taking the second information as PRACH and the transmission timing of the second information as RO, each PO is associated with a set of RO resources, wherein a set of RO resources includes at least two ROs and / or at least two preambles. Optionally, a PF includes N POs, and the network side configures N sets of RO resources, which are associated with each PO in the PF. For example, PO1 is associated with the RO of RACH configuration 1, PO2 is associated with the RO of RACH configuration 2, and so on. Optionally, the association method between each set of RO resources and POs includes that each RO resource can be associated with one or more paging monitoring occasions, or the network side can configure or indicate the association ratio of POs to each set of ROs and preambles.

[0358] For example, taking the second information as PRACH and the transmission timing of the second information as RO, each PF is associated with a set of RO resources, wherein a set of RO resources includes at least two ROs and / or at least two preambles. Optionally, the N POs included in the PF are associated with at least two ROs and / or at least two preambles in a set of RO resources. For example, suppose the PO includes 4 paging monitoring occasions, each corresponding to 4 SSBs. PO1 is associated with RO1 to RO4 of the RACH configuration, PO2 is associated with RO5 to RO8 of the RACH configuration, and so on.

[0359] For example, taking the second information as PRACH and the transmission time of the second information as RO, each paging listening time is independently associated with the RO resource. Here, PO includes S paging listening times, and each paging listening time is independently associated with the RO resource (similar to per SSB associating independent RO resources).

[0360] The terminal-side embodiments of this application have been described in detail above with reference to Figures 4 to 7. The network-side embodiments of this application have been described in detail below with reference to Figure 8. It should be understood that the network-side embodiments correspond to the terminal-side embodiments, and similar descriptions can be referred to the terminal-side embodiments.

This can make the resources of the first information and the second information more concentrated, thereby ensuring that there is a larger time interval (gap) for the network and / or terminal to be in DTX or DRX state without any transmission, thereby improving the energy saving performance of the network and / or terminal and achieving the goal of further saving energy consumption.

[0561] For example, in the case of SBFD, the downlink subband of the uplink is a frequency unit where PRACH transmission is unavailable.

[0562] For example, the WUS resources used to trigger on-demand signals or channels (such as on-demand SSB, on-demand SIB, on-demand paging messages, etc.) are frequency units where PRACH transmission is unavailable.

[0563] For example, the frequency domain cell where the WUS resource used to trigger on-demand signals or channels (such as on-demand SSB, on-demand SIB, on-demand paging messages, etc.) is located is a frequency cell where PRACH transmission is unavailable, and / or, the frequency domain cell at an interval of not less than a fifth specific time interval (such as Ngap5) from the WUS resource used to trigger on-demand signals or channels is a frequency cell where PRACH transmission is unavailable.

[0564] In some implementations, the resource configuration identifier of PRACH is used to indicate one of the following:

[0566] Resources that are at least one row in the PRACH resource configuration table;

[0567] Resources in at least one column of the PRACH resource configuration table;

[0568] At least one resource configuration in the PRACH resource configuration list;

[0569] The PRACH resource configuration list is a list within an RRC message.

[0570] Optionally, the PRACH resource configuration table can be as shown in Table 1 or Table 2 above. Of course, the PRACH resource configuration table can also be redesigned with reference to Table 1 or Table 2 above, and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0571] Optionally, the PRACH resource configuration list can be a list within an RRC message (such as a paging message). For example, the PRACH resource configuration list can be a newly introduced list within an RRC message (such as a paging message), such as the PRACH configuration list (prachConfigurationList), as shown below:

[0572] Optionally, the PRACH resource configuration table is determined by at least one of the following:

[0573] The first information;

[0574] System message;

[0575] RRC signaling or MAC signaling;

[0579] SSB, SSB group, terminal, UE group, paging group, frequency band, frequency band combination, TRP, cell, cell group, carrier, carrier group, tracking area, RNA.

[0580] For example, a PRACH resource independent indication associated with per SSB.

[0581] For example, a separate indication of the PRACH resource associated with each SSB group.

[0582] In some embodiments, the technical solution of this application is described in detail using the activation of RO resources as an example.

[0583] To further conserve energy, PRACH resources can be dynamically activated, such as dynamically activating or deactivating some PRACH resources.

[0584] In some implementations, the terminal receives third-party information from the network-side device;

[0585] The third information is used to activate PRACH resources (such as RO resources);

[0586] The third information includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following:

[0587] Specific control channels, paging control channels (such as Paging PDCCH), paging data channels (such as Paging PDSCH), downlink WUS signals, uplink WUS signals, and feedback signals of uplink WUS signals;

[0588] The specific control channel includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following:

[0589] The PDCCH carrying PEI, the PDCCH for activating SSB, the PDCCH for activating SIB, the PDCCH for activating paging messages, the PDCCH for activating the common search space, and the PDCCH for activating PRACH.

[0590] It should be noted that some or all of the PDCCH used to activate SSB, PDCCH used to activate SIB, PDCCH used to activate paging messages, PDCCH used to activate the common search space, and PDCCH used to activate PRACH may be the same, and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0591] For example, a network-side device may activate a portion of the PRACH resources by a PDCCH instruction carrying a PEI, and / or, a network-side device may activate a portion of the PRACH resources by a PDCCH instruction for activating an SSB, and / or, a network-side device may activate a portion of the PRACH resources by a PDCCH instruction for activating an SIB, and / or, a network-side device may activate a portion of the PRACH resources by a PDCCH instruction for activating a paging message, and / or, a network-side device may activate a portion of the PRACH resources by a PDCCH instruction for activating a common search space, and / or, a network-side device may activate a portion of the PRACH resources by a PDCCH instruction for activating a PRACH.

[0592] For example, the PRACH resource configured in a paging control channel (such as Paging PDCCH) is an active resource.

[0593] For example, the PRACH resource configured in a paging data channel (such as Paging PDSCH) is an active resource.

[0594] For example, a PRACH resource (such as a RO resource) is a periodic RO resource determined based on a row in the PRACH configuration table pointed to by the PRACH resource configuration identifier. The specific RO resources that are active among these periodic RO resources are dynamically indicated by paging.

[0595] For example, after the network side sends the paging message, the terminal needs to receive the corresponding downlink WUS signal to determine the resources of the activated PRACH.

[0596] For example, after the network side sends the paging message, the terminal needs to send the corresponding uplink WUS signal to determine the resources of the activated PRACH (for example, the uplink WUS signal directly indicates the resource index of the predefined PRACH).

[0597] For example, the resources associated with the PRACH of the reference signal (such as SSB or paging) activated by the uplink WUS signal are the resources of the activated PRACH.

[0598] For example, after the network side sends the paging message, the terminal needs to send the corresponding uplink WUS signal to activate the SSB resource. The network side tells the terminal the activated PRACH resource in the feedback signal of the uplink WUS signal.

[0599] In some embodiments, the activation method of PRACH resources is determined by at least one of the following:

[0600] Paging messages;

[0601] System message;

[0602] RRC signaling or MAC signaling;

[0603] Physical layer signaling (such as DCI);

[0604] PRACH resource types (such as RO resources).

[0605] For example, resources configured for PRACH in paging message settings are either activated directly or activated by default.

[0606] For example, resources configured with PRACH in SIB 1 require paging message activation or WUS activation.

[0607] In some embodiments, the activation granularity of PRACH resources includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following:

[0608] SSB, SSB group, terminal, terminal group, paging group, frequency band, frequency band combination, TRP, cell, cell group, carrier, carrier group, tracking area, RNA.

[0609] For example, resources associated with PRACH per SSB are activated independently.

[0610] For example, resources associated with PRACH per SSB group are activated independently.

[0611] For example, for at least two UEs in paging, the resources of the active PRACH corresponding to each UE can be different, or there can be a time domain offset between the starting time domain units of the resources of the active PRACH corresponding to each UE.

[0612] For example, for at least two UEs in paging, the at least two UEs can be divided into at least two UE groups, and the resources of the active PRACH corresponding to each UE group can be different, or there can be a time domain offset between the starting time domain units of the resources of the active PRACH corresponding to each UE group.

[0613] In some embodiments, the technical solution of this application is described in detail using the association between SSB and RO as an example.

[0614] For ROs configured or activated by paging, it is necessary to consider the association between SSB and paging, so that the terminal can determine the appropriate RO based on the SSB.

[0615] Optionally, one or more of the following methods for determining the association between SSB and RO can be supported:

[0616] Paging dynamically indicates the association between SSBs and ROs; for example, it can specify the association ratio between SSBs and ROs and preambles, or specify one or more SSB indexes corresponding to the RO resources configured in the paging configuration.

[0617] First, activate the RO resources, and then consider the association between SSB and RO. For example, for the configured RO resources, paging activates a group of ROs, and then this group of ROs is associated with SSBs according to specific rules, or the network side can directly specify the ROs in this group of ROs and a group of SSBs associated with the preamble.

[0618] First, associate the SSB with the RO, and then activate the RO. For example, for the configured RO resources, first associate them with a group of SSBs according to specific rules, and then Paging activates some of the RO resources associated with the SSBs selected by the terminal.

[0619] Optionally, the granularity of the association between SSB and RO may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following:

[0620] SSB, SSB group, terminal, terminal group, paging group, frequency band, frequency band combination, TRP, cell, cell group, carrier, carrier group, tracking area, RNA.

[0621] For example, each SSB independently associates RO resources.

[0622] For example, each SSB group independently associates RO resources.

[0623] For example, for multiple UEs in paging, each UE is configured with independent RO resources, and these RO resources are independently associated with SSB.

[0624] For example, for multiple UEs in paging, the multiple UEs can be divided into multiple groups, each group of UEs is configured with independent RO resources, and these RO resources are independently associated with SSB.

[0625] Optionally, the association between SSB and RO can be determined by at least one of the following:

[0626] Paging messages, system messages, RRC or MAC signaling, physical layer signaling, and information agreed upon in the second protocol.

[0627] For example, the mapping from SSB to RO includes:

[0628] The mapping from SSB to RO time-frequency, and / or the mapping from SSB to RO sequence-related resources.

[0629] In some embodiments, the technical solutions of this application are described in detail using examples of PO and RO association, PF and RO association, and paging listening timing and RO association.

[0630] For ROs configured or activated by paging, the association between POs and ROs can be considered, allowing the terminal to determine the appropriate RO based on paging messages. Here, a PO includes S paging monitoring occasions, each associated with S S SSBs.

[0631] Optionally, each PO is associated with a set of RO resources, wherein a set of RO resources includes at least two ROs and / or at least two preambles. Optionally, a PF includes N POs, and the network side configures N sets of RO resources, which are associated with each PO in the PF. For example, PO1 is associated with the RO of RACH configuration 1, PO2 is associated with the RO of RACH configuration 2, and so on. Optionally, the association method between each set of RO resources and POs includes that each RO resource can be associated with one or more paging listening times, or the network side can configure or indicate the association ratio of POs to each set of ROs and preambles.

[0632] Optionally, each PF is associated with a set of RO resources, wherein a set of RO resources includes at least two ROs and / or at least two preambles. Optionally, the N POs included in a PF are each associated with at least two ROs and / or at least two preambles in a set of RO resources. For example, suppose a PO includes 4 paging listening times, corresponding to 4 SSBs. PO1 is associated with RO1 to RO4 of the RACH configuration, PO2 is associated with RO5 to RO8 of the RACH configuration, ...

[0633] Optionally, each paging listening opportunity is independently associated with an RO resource, wherein the PO includes S paging listening opportunities, and each paging listening opportunity is independently associated with an RO resource (similar to per SSB associating with independent RO resources).
