Description

Energy-saving signal processing method, device, equipment and storage medium

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, a device, and a storage medium for processing an energy saving signal.

Background

With the development of mobile communication technology, terminals such as mobile phones and computers have become common devices in life, and power consumption of the terminals has received more and more attention as an important parameter index.

Currently, in order to reduce power consumption of a terminal, a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) transmission mechanism is introduced in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology. The DRX transmission mechanism may reduce power consumption by stopping receiving a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) when there is no data transmission, thereby increasing battery lifetime. The basic mechanism of DRX is to configure a DRX cycle (cycle) for a User Equipment (UE) in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) CONNECTED (RRC _ CONNECTED) state. As shown in fig. 1, the DRX cycle is composed of an "active period (On Duration)" and a "sleep period (Opportunity for DRX)": in the 'On Duration' time, the UE monitors and receives the PDCCH; during the "Opportunity for DRX" time, the UE does not receive the PDCCH to reduce power consumption.

In 5G and LTE evolution projects, a wake-up mechanism based On a DRX transmission mechanism is currently being discussed, that is, after a terminal configures the DRX transmission mechanism, in a DRX cycle in which a service needs to be transmitted, a network device wakes up the terminal using an energy-saving signal, and the terminal normally receives PDCCH scheduling during an On Duration of the DRX cycle; in the DRX cycle in which the terminal has no service transmission, the network device does not wake up the terminal, and the terminal does not need to monitor the PDCCH in the On Duration cycle of the DRX cycle.

However, on the basis of the mechanism, the network device can also configure a long DRX and a short DRX to the terminal at the same time, and the short DRX starts to indicate that the terminal has a high probability of data transmission, so that the reliability and timeliness of data transmission need to be ensured. In case of long DRX, it means that the probability of data arrival at the terminal is relatively low, and at this time, the terminal needs to pay more attention to power saving.

Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, the present application is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

In 5G and LTE evolution projects, a wake-up mechanism based On a DRX transmission mechanism is currently being discussed, that is, after a terminal configures the DRX mechanism, in a DRX cycle in which a service needs to be transmitted, a network wakes up the terminal using an energy-saving signal, and the terminal normally receives PDCCH scheduling during an On Duration of the DRX cycle; in the DRX cycle in which the terminal has no traffic transmission, the network does not wake up the terminal, and the terminal does not need to monitor the PDCCH during the On Duration of the DRX cycle.

The terminal power saving can be effectively realized by adopting the energy-saving signal indication mode. However, there are some special cases to be considered in the mechanism, for example, there is a certain probability of missed detection of the power saving signal, and when the base station sends the power saving signal but the terminal does not receive the power saving signal, how to perform error processing by the terminal needs to be considered. Particularly, under the condition that the network configures the long DRX cycle and the short DRX cycle to the terminal at the same time, error handling mechanisms of the long DRX cycle and the short DRX cycle may be different, for example, the short DRX cycle starts to indicate that the terminal has a higher probability of data transmission, and at this time, a more robust error handling mechanism may be adopted to ensure reliability and timeliness of data transmission. Under the condition of the long DRX period, the probability of the arrival of the terminal data is relatively low, and a more relaxed error handling mechanism can be adopted, so that the power saving of the terminal is emphasized more. Therefore, when the terminal does not detect the power saving signal, how to perform error handling becomes an urgent problem to be solved.

The method for processing an energy-saving signal according to the embodiment of the present application can solve the technical problem of how to perform error processing when a terminal does not detect an energy-saving signal, and it should be noted that the method for processing an energy-saving signal according to the present application is not limited to solving the above technical problem, but can also be used to solve other technical problems, and the present application is not limited thereto.

The method for processing the energy-saving signal provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to the application environment shown in fig. 2. Wherein the terminal 102 and the base station 104 communicate via a network. The terminal 102 monitors the energy-saving signal sent by the base station 104, and determines whether to perform PDCCH detection at the On Duration of the DRX cycle based On the type of the DRX cycle when the energy-saving signal is not monitored. The terminal 102 may be, but not limited to, various personal computers, notebook computers, smart phones, tablet computers, and portable wearable devices, and the base station 104 may be implemented by an independent base station or a base station cluster formed by a plurality of base stations.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart of a method for processing an energy saving signal according to an embodiment, which takes the terminal 102 in fig. 2 as an execution subject and relates to a specific implementation process of determining whether to perform PDCCH detection at the On Duration of the DRX cycle according to the type of the DRX cycle when the terminal does not receive the energy saving signal. As shown in fig. 3, the method comprises the steps of:

and S301, monitoring the energy-saving signal.

The energy-saving signal is used for indicating whether to wake up the terminal to perform PDCCH detection in the On Duration of the DRX period. The power saving signal may be a sequence signal, such as a ZC sequence; the power saving signal may also be a physical channel, such as PDCCH.

For example, if the PDCCH is used as the energy saving signal, one bit in Downlink Control Information (DCI) transmitted on the PDCCH may instruct the terminal to wake up and perform PDCCH detection on the on duration of the DRX cycle, or instruct the terminal to ignore PDCCH detection. And if the bit value is 1, instructing the terminal to wake up and detect the PDCCH in the DRX on duration, and if the bit value is 0, instructing the terminal to ignore the detection of the PDCCH in the DRX on duration. Or, if the sequence signal is used as the energy-saving signal, the first sequence is used for representing that the terminal is awakened and the detection of the PDCCH is carried out during the on duration of the DRX; and indicating the terminal to ignore the detection of the PDCCH in the on duration of the DRX by adopting the second sequence. Other ways may also be adopted to instruct the terminal to wake up and perform PDCCH detection during the on duration of the DRX cycle, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In this embodiment, after the terminal is configured to start the energy saving mode, the terminal detects the energy saving signal based on the configuration of the energy saving signal, where the configuration of the energy saving signal may include a time-frequency resource position, a sequence setting, or a Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) scrambled by a PDCCH of the energy saving signal, and the configuration of the energy saving signal may be pre-configured to the terminal, or the Network device notifies the terminal through a high-level signaling.

S302, if the energy-saving signal is not monitored, determining whether to detect the PDCCH in the activation period of the DRX period or not based on the type of the DRX period; the type of the DRX period is short DRX period or long DRX period.

And the cycle duration of the long DRX cycle is longer than that of the short DRX cycle.

In this embodiment, if the terminal does not detect the power saving signal, there may be at least two cases as follows:

1) the base station does not send the energy-saving signal for some reasons, for example, the base station cannot send the energy-saving signal due to insufficient resources;

2) the base station transmits the energy-saving signal, but the terminal does not successfully monitor the energy-saving signal.

Therefore, although the terminal does not monitor the power saving signal, the base station may have transmitted the power saving signal and instruct the terminal to wake up to monitor the PDCCH, or, although the power saving signal is not transmitted for some reason, the base station expects the terminal to wake up to monitor the PDCCH, and for this case, the terminal may determine whether to perform detection of the PDCCH during the active period of the DRX cycle based on the type of the DRX cycle. For example, when the terminal starts short DRX, it generally indicates that the terminal has more frequent data to be scheduled, and at this time, it should mainly ensure the reliability and timeliness of data scheduling, and in this case, the terminal may wake up by default to monitor the PDCCH without monitoring the energy saving signal. For the case of starting long DRX, the traffic of the terminal is generally sparse at this time, so that the terminal does not monitor the energy saving signal, but the probability that the terminal has the traffic and the network expects the terminal to wake up is relatively low, and in this case, the terminal can maintain the sleep state without monitoring the energy saving signal, and the PDCCH is not detected; alternatively, when the terminal does not detect the energy saving signal, the terminal may perform PDCCH detection or not perform PDCCH detection based on the network configuration, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

In the method for processing an energy-saving signal provided in this embodiment, the terminal monitors the energy-saving signal, and if the energy-saving signal is not monitored, determines whether to perform PDCCH detection in the active period of the DRX cycle based on the type of the DRX cycle, and when the terminal does not monitor the energy-saving signal, the terminal may adopt different processing behaviors to match service requirements of the terminal under different conditions according to different types of the DRX cycle, thereby achieving a balance between power saving of the terminal and reliability and timeliness of data transmission.

On the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 3, optionally, if the energy-saving signal uses a PDCCH based on error correction coding, monitoring the energy-saving signal includes: detecting whether a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) of the energy-saving signal is successful; if the CRC is successful, monitoring an energy-saving signal; if CRC fails, no energy-saving signal is monitored.

In this embodiment, a PDCCH based on error correction coding is used for the energy-saving signal, and whether the energy-saving signal is monitored can be determined based on a CRC result, and if the CRC is successful, the energy-saving signal is considered to be monitored; and if the CRC fails, the energy-saving signal is not monitored.

The following describes specific implementation manners of "determining whether to perform PDCCH detection during the active period of the DRX cycle based on the type of the DRX cycle" in three cases, respectively.

In the first case: determining whether to perform detection of the PDCCH during an active period of the DRX period based on the type of the DRX period, including: and if the DRX period type is a short DRX period, detecting the PDCCH in the active period of the short DRX period according to a preset default mechanism.

In this embodiment, when the type of the DRX cycle is a short DRX cycle, it indicates that the terminal has more frequent data to be scheduled, and it should mainly ensure reliability and timeliness of data scheduling, in this case, the terminal may also perform PDCCH detection on the on duration of the short DRX cycle according to a preset default mechanism without monitoring the energy saving signal.

Optionally, the detecting of the PDCCH in the active period of the short DRX cycle according to a preset default mechanism includes: and starting a discontinuous reception inactivity timer corresponding to a short DRX period, and detecting the PDCCH during the operation period of the discontinuous reception inactivity timer.

The drx-inactivity timer (drx-inactivity timer) is a preset timer with a certain running Duration, and is triggered and started when the terminal receives a scheduling message during the "On Duration", and during the running of the drx-inactivity timer, the terminal may monitor the PDCCH for each downlink subframe. Optionally, discontinuous reception inactivity timers with different operation durations may be set for different DRX cycle types, for example, the duration of the discontinuous reception inactivity timer of the short DRX cycle is less than the duration of the discontinuous reception inactivity timer of the long DRX cycle, but the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto.

In this embodiment, when the terminal receives a scheduling message (indicating an initially transmitted PDCCH) during the "On Duration", the terminal starts a "discontinuous reception inactivity timer" and monitors the PDCCH in each downlink subframe during the operation of the drx-inactivity timer. When a piece of scheduling information (indicating an initially transmitted PDCCH) is received during the operation of the "drx-inactivity timer", the terminal restarts the drx-inactivity timer.

As shown in fig. 4, when "DRX-inactivity timer" times out or receives DRX signaling (DRX Command MAC Control element) carried by Media Access Control Address (MAC) Control cell: 1) if the terminal does not configure short DRX cycle (cycle), directly using the long DRX cycle; 2) if the terminal configures the short DRX cycle, the terminal uses the short DRX cycle and starts (or restarts) a drxShortCyclerTimer, and when the drxShortCyclerTimer is overtime, the UE uses the long DRX cycle.

In this embodiment, if the DRX cycle is a short DRX cycle, the PDCCH is detected during the active period of the short DRX cycle according to a preset default mechanism, and when the short DRX cycle is started, since the short DRX cycle is started, it indicates that the terminal has more frequent data to be scheduled, at this time, the terminal may also perform PDCCH detection during the on duration of the short DRX cycle according to the preset default mechanism under the condition that the terminal does not monitor the energy saving signal, so as to ensure reliability and timeliness of data scheduling.

In the second case: determining whether to perform detection of the PDCCH during an active period of the DRX period based on the type of the DRX period, including: and if the DRX period type is a long DRX period, not starting the discontinuous reception inactivity timer in the active period of the long DRX period.

In this embodiment, for the case of long DRX activation, the traffic of the terminal is generally sparse at this time, and the probability that the terminal has traffic to arrive and the network expects the terminal to wake up is relatively low, so that when the terminal does not monitor the energy saving signal, the sleep state can be maintained without performing PDCCH detection, so as to reduce the loss of the terminal.

In the third case: determining whether to perform detection of the PDCCH during an active period of the DRX period based on the type of the DRX period, including: and if the type of the DRX period is a long DRX period, determining whether to detect the PDCCH in the active period of the long DRX period or not based on the network configuration information.

It should be noted that, when the terminal does not monitor the energy saving signal, the implementation manner of "determining whether to perform PDCCH detection in the active period of the DRX cycle based on the type of the DRX cycle" may have other implementation manners besides the above three cases, and different processing mechanisms may be set for different types of DRX cycles according to the characteristics of the types of DRX cycles and the service requirements. For example, in some scenarios, the processing mechanisms of the long DRX cycle and the short DRX cycle may be performed in reverse, for example, if the type of the DRX cycle is the long DRX cycle, the PDCCH is detected in the active period of the long DRX cycle according to a preset default mechanism; if the DRX period type is short DRX period, not starting a discontinuous reception non-active timer in the activation period of the short DRX period; and if the type of the DRX period is a short DRX period, determining whether to detect the PDCCH in the active period of the short DRX period or not based on the network configuration information. Or, other processing mechanisms may also be used, for example, if the DRX cycle is a short DRX cycle, the PDCCH may be detected in the active period of the short DRX cycle according to a preset default mechanism or the network configuration information of the short DRX cycle; and if the type of the DRX period is a long DRX period, detecting the PDCCH in the active period of the long DRX period according to a preset default mechanism or network configuration information of the long DRX period. The embodiments of the present application are not limited.

In this embodiment, for the case of long DRX start, at this time, the service of the terminal is generally sparse, the probability that the terminal has a service arrival and the network expects the terminal to wake up is relatively low, but there may still exist some services that need to be transmitted in time, so that network configuration information may be configured in advance at the terminal, or the terminal receives the network configuration information, that is, the base station may carry the network configuration information in a high-level signaling and send the network configuration information to the terminal, so as to indicate whether to wake up the terminal to perform PDCCH detection at the on duration of the long DRX cycle, thereby reducing the power consumption of the terminal and ensuring the reliability and timeliness of service transmission as much as possible.

In some scenarios, in order to ensure that the terminal receives the energy saving signal as much as possible, the base station may configure a configuration parameter of the energy saving signal for the terminal, and optionally, the method for processing the energy saving signal provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include: receiving configuration information; the configuration information is used to indicate a configuration parameter of the power saving signal, and the terminal may listen to the power saving signal based on the configuration parameter. The configuration parameter may include a time-frequency resource position of the energy saving signal, a sequence setting, or an RNTI scrambled by the PDCCH, a time offset between a sending time position of the energy saving signal and an initial position of an on duration of the DRX cycle, a PDCCH search space of the energy saving signal, a search resource set of the energy saving signal, and the like, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application. In addition, the configuration information may also implicitly instruct the terminal to start the energy saving mode, that is, when the terminal receives the configuration information, the terminal starts to monitor the energy saving signal based on the parameter indicated by the configuration information, and executes the processing method of the energy saving signal described in the above embodiment.

Further, the configuration parameters include configuration parameters of energy-saving signals corresponding to the types of the DRX cycles; the configuration parameters of the energy-saving signals corresponding to different DRX periods are different.

In this embodiment, as mentioned above, some characteristic requirements of the power saving signals for the long DRX cycle and the short DRX cycle may be different, for example, there is usually a time offset between the sending time position of the power saving signal and the starting position of the DRX on-duration, and the time offset enables the terminal to wake up from the sleep state to enter the normal data receiving and sending state. The length of the long DRX cycle is different from that of the short DRX cycle, so that the terminal can normally enter a deep sleep (deep sleep) state in the case of the long DRX cycle, and the terminal normally enters a light sleep (light sleep) state in the case of the short DRX cycle, and therefore, the time required from sleep to wake-up of the terminal may be different between the two cases. For example, based on implementation, a deep sleep terminal wakes up to design the reloading of the baseband configuration and the adjustment of the radio frequency, while a shallow sleep terminal wakes up to design only the adjustment of the radio frequency. Therefore, in order to ensure that the energy-saving signals can be efficiently monitored in the long DRX cycle and the short DRX cycle, and not consume too much power consumption of the terminal, different configuration parameters of the energy-saving signals can be configured for the characteristics of the long DRX cycle and the short DRX cycle, respectively. In the embodiments of the present application, a long DRX cycle and a short DRX cycle are taken as examples for description, and other types of DRX cycles may also be set, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

Further, the configuration parameters of the energy saving signals corresponding to different DRX cycle types are different, including at least one of the following parameters:

the second time offsets of the energy-saving signals corresponding to different DRX periods are different; the second time offset is the time offset between the time position of the PDCCH search space of the energy-saving signal and the starting position of the activation period of the DRX period;

the PDCCH search spaces of the energy-saving signals corresponding to different DRX periods are different;

the PDCCH control resource sets of the energy-saving signals corresponding to different DRX periods are different;

the lengths of downlink control information DCI of the energy-saving signals corresponding to different DRX periods are different;

the indication information of the energy-saving signals corresponding to different DRX cycle types is different in position in the DCI;

the network configuration information of the energy saving signals corresponding to different DRX cycle types is different.

It should be noted that, the different parameters of the energy saving signal corresponding to different DRX cycle types may include other parameters besides the first time offset, the second time offset, the PDCCH search space, the PDCCH control resource set, the DCI length, the location of the indication information in the DCI, the network configuration information, and the like, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

Optionally, the first time offsets of the power saving signals corresponding to different DRX cycle types are different, including: the first time offset of the power saving signal corresponding to the short DRX period is less than the first time offset of the power saving signal corresponding to the long DRX period.

It should be noted that the first time offset of the energy saving signal corresponding to the short DRX cycle is smaller than the first time offset of the energy saving signal corresponding to the long DRX cycle, which is a possible implementation manner, and in other scenarios, there may be other implementation manners, for example, the first time offset of the energy saving signal corresponding to the short DRX cycle is larger than the first time offset of the energy saving signal corresponding to the long DRX cycle, and the like.

Optionally, the second time offsets of the power saving signals corresponding to different DRX cycle types are different, including: the second time offset of the power saving signal corresponding to the short DRX period is less than the second time offset of the power saving signal corresponding to the long DRX period.

In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, for the short DRX cycle and the long DRX cycle, the time offset between the transmission time position (such as the start position or the end position) of the power saving signal and the start position of the on-duration of the DRX cycle is different; or a time offset between a time position (e.g., a start position or an end position) of a PDCCH search space (search space) of the power saving signal and a start position of an on-duration of the DRX cycle. For example, for a long DRX cycle, a larger first time offset (offset1), such as 10ms or 10 slots, may be configured, while a short DRX cycle may be configured with a relatively shorter first time offset (offset2), such as 4ms or 4 slots.

It should be noted that the second time offset of the energy saving signal corresponding to the short DRX cycle is smaller than the second time offset of the energy saving signal corresponding to the long DRX cycle, which is a possible implementation manner, and in other scenarios, other implementation manners may also be available, for example, the second time offset of the energy saving signal corresponding to the short DRX cycle is larger than the second time offset of the energy saving signal corresponding to the long DRX cycle, and the like.

Optionally, the PDCCH search space includes monitoring locations of a plurality of energy-saving signals, and the PDCCH search spaces of energy-saving signals corresponding to different DRX cycle types are different, including: the time interval between the monitoring positions of the energy saving signals corresponding to the short DRX period is less than the time interval between the monitoring positions of the energy saving signals corresponding to the long DRX period.

In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, for example, the PDCCH search space of the energy saving signal may include a plurality of monitoring locations of the energy saving signal, for the long DRX cycle, a time interval (Duration1) between the monitoring locations of the energy saving signal is large, the monitoring locations of the energy saving signal may be distributed relatively discretely, and for the short DRX cycle, a time interval (Duration2) between the monitoring locations of the energy saving signal is small and the distribution is relatively compact, so that the terminal has more time to be in the energy saving state without waking up to monitor the PDCCH in the case of the short DRX cycle.

It should be noted that the time interval between the monitoring positions of the energy saving signals corresponding to the short DRX cycle is smaller than the time interval between the monitoring positions of the energy saving signals corresponding to the long DRX cycle, which is a possible implementation manner, and in other scenarios, there may be other implementation manners, for example, the time interval between the monitoring positions of the energy saving signals corresponding to the short DRX cycle is larger than the time interval between the monitoring positions of the energy saving signals corresponding to the long DRX cycle, and the like.

In the method for processing an energy saving signal provided by this embodiment, a terminal receives configuration information issued by a base station, and configuration parameters of the energy saving signal carried in the configuration information include configuration parameters of the energy saving signal corresponding to the type of each DRX cycle; configuration parameters of energy-saving signals corresponding to different DRX cycle types are different, and different configuration parameters of the energy-saving signals are configured in the long DRX cycle and the short DRX cycle, so that the state and the operation of the terminal in the long DRX cycle and the short DRX cycle can be matched better, and the terminal can realize more effective energy saving. For example, the long DRX cycle uses a larger time offset between the power saving signal and the on-duration of the DRX cycle, so that the terminal has a longer time to wake up from the deep sleep state; the short DRX cycle uses a smaller time offset between the power-saving signal and the on-duration of the DRX cycle, so that the terminal can wake up from the light sleep state with a shorter time. Also, a compact PDCCH search space distribution is used in the short DRX cycle case, so that the terminal has more time to be in a sleep state in the short DRX cycle.

In the foregoing embodiment, the terminal monitors the energy saving signal, and then, when the terminal starts to monitor the energy saving signal, some limitations may also be imposed on the terminal, for example, the base station explicitly instructs the terminal to start to monitor the energy saving signal through an instruction, or the base station may implicitly instruct the terminal to monitor the energy saving signal through the configuration information, or the terminal is configured in advance to trigger monitoring the energy saving signal under some conditions, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

Optionally, the method for processing an energy saving signal provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes: receiving an energy-saving mechanism starting message; the power saving mechanism on message is used to instruct the terminal to start the power saving mode. In this embodiment, the base station issues an energy saving mechanism start message to the terminal, and explicitly instructs the terminal to start the energy saving mode, that is, after receiving the energy saving mechanism start message, the terminal starts to monitor the energy saving signal and executes the method for processing the energy saving signal described in the above embodiment. Optionally, the energy saving mechanism start message is carried in a high level control signaling, where the high level signaling may be RRC signaling, MAC CE signaling, and the like, and is not limited in this embodiment. In the method, after receiving the energy saving mechanism start message, the terminal starts the energy saving mode, starts to monitor the energy saving signal, and executes the energy saving signal processing method described in the above embodiment, so that the terminal is prevented from monitoring the energy saving signal in the energy saving mode all the time, and the power consumption of the terminal is further reduced.

In the foregoing embodiment, a processing mechanism of the terminal is mainly introduced when the terminal does not monitor the energy saving signal, and further, if the terminal monitors the energy saving signal, it is determined whether to perform PDCCH detection during the DRX on duration according to the energy saving signal. In this embodiment, when the terminal monitors the energy saving signal, it is determined whether to perform PDCCH detection during the DRX on duration according to information carried by the energy saving signal. For the method in which the terminal determines whether to perform PDCCH detection during the DRX on duration according to the information carried by the energy saving signal, reference may be made to the implementation principle of step S301 in the embodiment shown in fig. 3, which is not described herein again.

In addition, some characteristic requirements of the power saving signals for the long DRX cycle and the short DRX cycle may also be different, for example, there is usually a time offset between the transmission time position of the general power saving signal and the starting position of the DRX On Duration, and the time offset enables the terminal to wake up from the sleep state into the normal data receiving and transmitting state. The long DRX cycle and the short DRX cycle are different in DRX cycle, so that the terminal may generally enter a deep sleep (deep sleep) state in the case of the long DRX cycle, and the terminal generally enters a light sleep (light sleep) state in the case of the short DRX cycle, and thus, the time required from sleep to wake-up of the terminal may be different in the two cases. For example, based on implementation, a deep sleep terminal wakes up to design the reloading of the baseband configuration and the adjustment of the radio frequency, while a shallow sleep terminal wakes up to design only the adjustment of the radio frequency. If the existing monitoring mechanism of the energy-saving signal is adopted, the problem that the energy-saving signal corresponding to the long DRX period cannot be monitored easily occurs, or the terminal is awakened in advance for the short DRX period, so that the power loss is large is caused.

In view of the above-mentioned problem that "using the existing monitoring mechanism of the energy saving signal may cause that the energy saving signal corresponding to the long DRX cycle cannot be monitored easily, or for a short DRX cycle, the terminal is awakened in advance, resulting in large power loss", an embodiment of the present application provides another method for processing the energy saving signal, where an execution main body of the method is the terminal in fig. 2. As shown in fig. 7, the method comprises the steps of:

s701, receiving configuration information; the configuration information is used for indicating configuration parameters of the energy-saving signals, and the configuration parameters comprise configuration parameters of the energy-saving signals corresponding to the types of all DRX periods; the configuration parameters of the energy-saving signals corresponding to different DRX periods are different, and the DRX periods are short DRX periods or long DRX periods.

In this embodiment, as mentioned above, some characteristic requirements of the power saving signals for the long DRX cycle and the short DRX cycle may be different, for example, there is usually a time offset between the sending time position of the power saving signal and the starting position of the DRX on-duration, and the time offset enables the terminal to wake up from the sleep state to enter the normal data receiving and sending state. The length of the long DRX cycle is different from that of the short DRX cycle, so that the terminal may generally enter a deep sleep (deep sleep) state in the case of the long DRX cycle, and the terminal generally enters a light sleep (light sleep) state in the case of the short DRX cycle, so that the time required for the terminal to wake up from sleep may be different in the two cases. For example, based on implementation, a deep sleep terminal wakes up to design the reloading of the baseband configuration and the adjustment of the radio frequency, while a shallow sleep terminal wakes up to design only the adjustment of the radio frequency. Therefore, in order to ensure that the energy-saving signals can be efficiently monitored in the long DRX cycle and the short DRX cycle, and not consume too much power consumption of the terminal, different configuration parameters of the energy-saving signals can be configured for the characteristics of the long DRX cycle and the short DRX cycle, respectively.

S702, monitoring energy-saving signals corresponding to the types of the DRX periods according to the configuration information.

In this embodiment, the terminal may monitor the power saving signal corresponding to each DRX cycle type according to the configuration information, for example, the long DRX cycle uses a larger time offset between the power saving signal and the on-duration of the DRX cycle, so that the terminal wakes up from the deep sleep state for a longer time; the short DRX cycle uses a smaller time offset between the power saving signal and the on-duration of the DRX cycle, so that the terminal can wake up from the light sleep state in a shorter time, but the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto. Also, a compact PDCCH search space distribution is used in the short DRX cycle case, so that the terminal has more time to be in a sleep state in the short DRX cycle.

In the method for processing an energy saving signal provided in this embodiment, the terminal receives the configuration information, monitors the energy saving signal according to the configuration parameters of the energy saving signal of different DRX cycle types indicated by the configuration information, and can better match the state and operation of the terminal in the long DRX cycle and the short DRX cycle, so that the terminal can achieve more effective energy saving.

In one embodiment, the first time offsets of the power saving signals corresponding to different DRX cycle types are different, including: the first time offset of the power saving signal corresponding to the short DRX period is less than the first time offset of the power saving signal corresponding to the long DRX period.

In one embodiment, the method for processing the power saving signal further includes: receiving an energy-saving mechanism starting message; the power saving mechanism on message is used to instruct the terminal to start the power saving mode. Optionally, the energy saving mechanism start message is carried in a higher layer control signaling.

In view of the above-mentioned problem that "using the existing monitoring mechanism of the energy-saving signal may cause that the energy-saving signal corresponding to the long DRX cycle cannot be monitored easily, or for a short DRX cycle, the terminal is awakened in advance, resulting in large power loss", an embodiment of the present application provides another method for processing the energy-saving signal, where an execution main body of the method is the base station in fig. 2.
