Referring to fig. 1, a schematic structural diagram of a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the disclosure is shown. As shown in fig. 1, the wireless communication system is a communication system based on a cellular mobile communication technology, and may include: a number of UEs 11 and a number of access network elements 12.

Wherein UE 11 may be a device that provides voice and/or data connectivity to a user. The UE 11 may communicate with one or more core networks via a radio access network (Radio Access Network, RAN), and the UE 11 may be an internet of things UE such as a sensor device, a mobile phone (or "cellular" phone) and a computer with an internet of things UE, for example, a fixed, portable, pocket, hand-held, computer-built-in or vehicle-mounted device. Such as a Station (STA), subscriber unit (subscriber unit), subscriber Station (subscriber Station), mobile Station (mobile Station), mobile Station (mobile), remote Station (remote Station), access point, remote terminal (remote terminal), access terminal (access terminal), user terminal (user terminal), user agent (user agent), or User Equipment (UE). Alternatively, the UE 11 may be an unmanned aerial vehicle device. Alternatively, the UE 11 may be a vehicle-mounted device, for example, a laptop with a wireless communication function, or a wireless communication device externally connected to the laptop. Alternatively, the UE 11 may be a roadside device, for example, a street lamp, a signal lamp, or other roadside devices having a wireless communication function.

The access network element 12 may be a network-side device in a wireless communication system. Wherein the wireless communication system may be a fourth generation mobile communication technology (the 4th generation mobile communication,4G) system, also known as a long term evolution (Long Term Evolution, LTE) system; alternatively, the wireless communication system may be a 5G system, also known as a New Radio (NR) system or a 5G NR system. Alternatively, the wireless communication system may be a next generation system of the 5G system. Among them, the access network in the 5G system may be called a New Generation radio access network (NG-RAN). Or, an MTC system.

The access network element 12 may be an evolved access device (eNB) employed in a 4G system. Alternatively, the access network element 12 may be an access device (gNB) in a 5G system that employs a centralized and distributed architecture. When the access network element 12 adopts a centralized and distributed architecture, it typically includes a Centralized Unit (CU) and at least two Distributed Units (DUs). A protocol stack of a packet data convergence protocol (Packet Data Convergence Protocol, PDCP) layer, a radio link layer control protocol (Radio Link Control, RLC) layer, and a medium access control (Media Access Control, MAC) layer is provided in the centralized unit; a Physical (PHY) layer protocol stack is provided in the distribution unit, and the specific implementation manner of the access network element 12 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited.

A radio connection may be established between the access network element 12 and the UE 11 over a radio air interface. In various embodiments, the wireless air interface is a fourth generation mobile communication network technology (4G) standard-based wireless air interface; or, the wireless air interface is a wireless air interface based on a fifth generation mobile communication network technology (5G) standard, for example, the wireless air interface is a new air interface; alternatively, the wireless air interface may be a wireless air interface based on a 5G-based technology standard of a next generation mobile communication network.

In some embodiments, the above wireless communication system may further comprise a core network element 13.

Several access network elements 12 are connected to the core network element 13, respectively. The core network element 13 may be a core network device in a wireless communication system, for example, the core network element 13 may be a mobility management entity (Mobility Management Entity, MME) in an evolved packet core network (Evolved Packet Core, EPC). Alternatively, the core network device may be other core network devices, such as a Serving GateWay (SGW), a public data network GateWay (Public Data Network GateWay, PGW), a policy and charging rules function (Policy and Charging Rules Function, PCRF) or a home subscriber server (Home Subscriber Server, HSS), etc.; or the core network element 13 may be a core network device in 5G; such as a policy control function (Policy Control Function, PCF), or session management function (Session Management Function, SMF), access and mobility management function (Access and Mobility Management Function, AMF), unified data management (Unified Data Management, UDM), or user plane function (User Plane Function, UPF), etc. The embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to the implementation form of the core network element 13.

In some embodiments, a power save signal is introduced for a UE in a connected state; the power saving signal may be a Wakeup signal (Wakeup signal) or power saving downlink control information (Downlink control information for powersaving, DCP). For example, if the UE detects a wake-up signal, it is determined that the UE needs to monitor the PDCCH; if the UE does not detect the wake-up signal, the monitoring of the PDCCH is skipped.

In some embodiments, a power save signal is introduced for idle state UEs; the power save signal may be a paging advance indication (Paging early indication, PEI). Here, PEI may be configured before Paging Occasion (PO). For example, if the UE detects a power saving signal, it needs to monitor the paging DCI; if the UE does not detect the power saving signal, the monitoring of the paging DCI is skipped.

In some embodiments, enhancements are made for connected UEs, introducing a physical downlink control channel (Physical Downlink Control Channel, PDCCH) skip mechanism. For example, if the UE detects DCI carrying information indicating the PDCCH skip mechanism, it is determined to skip monitoring for a predetermined time or perform search space group switching.

In some embodiments, a modem (modem) of the terminal is required to detect the power saving signal regardless of the power saving signal. It is desirable, however, to introduce a separate transceiver to receive the power save signal, while the Modem portion or main radio portion of the terminal can only wake up after the separate transceiver has been awakened, otherwise the portion of the Modem will always be in sleep.

In some embodiments, the network introduces two initial Bandwidth parts (BWP), namely an initial BWP used by normal (normal) users and an initial BWP used by reduced capability (Redcap) users. At this point there is no conclusion on which initial BWP the LP-WUS signal was sent.

The embodiment of the disclosure provides a wake-up method, which is executed by network equipment and comprises the following steps: the LP-WUS is transmitted at the at least one initial BWP, and is used to wake up at least one type of terminal. Optionally, waking up at least one type of terminal is: a second transceiver of the at least one type of terminal is awakened.

As shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a wake-up method, which is performed by a network device, including:

step S21: the method comprises waking up a second transceiver of the terminal after at least one initial BWP transmits LP-WUS, wherein the LP-WUS is used for listening by a first transceiver of at least one type of terminal.

In some embodiments, transmitting the LP-WUS at the at least one initial BWP comprises: transmitting the LP-WUS to at least one terminal at least one initial BWP; alternatively, the LP-WUS is transmitted to at least one type of terminal at least one initial BWP.

Alternatively, the network device may be other functions or nodes flexibly deployed in the access network. Alternatively, the network device may be various types of base stations.

Alternatively, the terminal may be at least one of: a cell phone, a computer, a server, a wearable device, a game control platform, a road side device, a vehicle-mounted device or a multimedia device. Alternatively, the terminal may be at least one of: capacity reduction UE (Reduced capability UE), 5G power saving (NR-lite) terminals, redcap terminals and eRedcap terminals.

The idle state terminal is illustratively a radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) idle state terminal. The inactive state terminal is, for example, an RRC inactive state terminal.

Optionally, the at least one type of terminal comprises: a first type of terminal and a second type of terminal.

By way of example, the first type of terminal may be a normal (normal) terminal or an arbitrary terminal; for example, the first type of terminal is an eMBB terminal. And/or the second type of terminal may be a Redcap terminal and/or an eRedcap terminal.

Illustratively, the power consumption of the first type of terminal is higher than the power consumption of the second type of terminal.

The limited range of the scheduled time-frequency domain resource of the first type of terminal is larger than the limited range of the time-frequency domain resource of the second type of terminal; or the limited degree of the time-frequency domain resources of the scheduled first type of terminal is higher than that of the scheduled second type of terminal.

In some embodiments, the wake-up terminal may be: and waking up a second transceiver of the terminal. For example, a terminal includes a first transceiver and a second transceiver; after the first transceiver is awakened, the terminal monitors the LP-WUS through the first transceiver, and if the LP-WUS is monitored, the terminal wakes up the second transceiver.

Optionally, the power consumption of the first transceiver is less than the power consumption of the second transceiver. The power consumption of the first transceiver is smaller than the power consumption of the second transceiver, and may be: the power consumed by the first transceiver to receive and/or transmit information is less than the power consumed by the second transceiver to receive and/or transmit information. For example, the first transceiver decodes each signal with respect to the second transceiver decoding the same signal, consuming less power.

Alternatively, the structure of the first transceiver is very simple with respect to the structure of the second transceiver. For example, the second transceiver may be the main transceiver of the terminal; the first transceiver is a separate transceiver (ultra-low power wake-up receiver) introduced by the terminal.

Optionally, the first transceiver has a function of receiving and transmitting; the second transceiver has the functions of receiving and transmitting.

Alternatively, the first transceiver may also be: a first receiver; and/or the second transceiver may be: a second receiver. Here, the first receiver has a receiving function, and/or the second receiver has a receiving function.

Optionally, the first transceiver is a secondary transceiver; the second transceiver is the primary transceiver. Here, the secondary transceiver is used to assist the primary transceiver in receiving and/or transmitting information.

In some embodiments, one initial BWP comprises a first initial BWP and/or a second initial BWP.

Alternatively, the first initial BWP may be an initial BWP configured by the network device. For example, the network device configures a first initial BWP through a system message; optionally, the network device configures the first initial BWP by a master system message block (Master Information Block, MIB) or a system message block (System message block, SIB) X; x is an integer greater than 0.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the network device transmits an LP-WUS at least one initial BWP, wherein the LP-WUS is used to wake up a second transceiver of the terminal after a first transceiver of at least one type of terminal listens; in this way, on the one hand, the second transceiver with relatively higher power consumption can be awakened only by the first transceiver with relatively lower value monitoring the LP-WUS, so that the power consumption of the terminal can be reduced; on the other hand, a specific terminal wake-up manner may be provided by transmitting the LP-WUS at least one initial BWP to wake up one or more types of terminals.

It should be noted that, as those skilled in the art may understand, the methods provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be performed alone or together with some methods in the embodiments of the present disclosure or some methods in the related art.

In some embodiments, transmitting the LP-WUS at the at least one initial BWP comprises: different LP-WUSs are transmitted at different initial BWP, wherein different LP-WUSs transmitted at different initial BWP are used to wake up different types of terminals.

As shown in fig. 3, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a wake-up method, which is performed by a network device, including:

step S31: different LP-WUSs are transmitted at different initial BWP, wherein different LP-WUSs transmitted at different initial BWP are used to wake up different types of terminals.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the initial BWP may be the initial BWP in the above embodiment; LP-WUS is the LP-WUS in the above examples; the terminal is the terminal in the above embodiment.

Optionally, the initial BWP comprises a first initial BWP and/or a second initial BWP.

Optionally, the LP-WUS comprises a first LP-WUS and/or a second LP-WUS. Optionally, the first LP-WUS is used to wake up a first type of terminal; and/or, the second LP-WUS is used to wake up the second type of terminal.

Optionally, the terminal includes: a first type of terminal and/or a second type of terminal.

In some embodiments, different LP-WUSs are transmitted at different initial BWP, including at least one of:

and transmitting second configuration information including a second LP-WUS at the second initial BWP, wherein the second LP-WUS transmitted at the second initial BWP is used to wake up the second type terminal.

The embodiment of the disclosure provides a wake-up method, which is executed by network equipment and comprises at least one of the following steps:

In some embodiments, both the first LP-WUS and the second LP-WUS may be indicated with one or more bits.

Alternatively, the first LP-WUS is different from the second LP-WUS. For example, the first LP-WUS is "0" or "00"; the second LP-WUS is "1" or "11".

Alternatively, the first LP-WUS is identical to the second LP-WUS. For example, the first LP-WUS and the second LP-WUS may each be "0" or "11", etc. Since the first LP-WUS and the second LP-WUS are carried in different initial BWP transmissions, wake-up of different types of terminals can be indicated even though the first LP-WUS and the second LP-WUS are identical.

Alternatively, the transmitting of the first configuration information including the first LP-WUS at the first initial BWP may be: transmitting the first LP-WUS at the first initial BWP; alternatively, the first configuration information is transmitted at the first initial BWP, and the first configuration information includes the first LP-WUS.

Illustratively, the first initial BWP comprises Coreset0 and/or SSB and the first LP-WUS or the first configuration information is transmitted at the first initial BWP for waking up the first type terminal; alternatively, the first initial BWP comprises Coreset0 and/or SSB, but the first initial BWP does not carry the first LP-WUS and is not used to wake up the first type of terminal.

Optionally, the second initial BWP comprises the first set of control resources (Coreset 0) and/or SSB. Illustratively, the second initial BWP comprises Coreset0 and/or SSB, and the second LP-WUS or the second configuration information is transmitted at the second initial BWP for waking up the second type terminal; alternatively, the second initial BWP comprises Coreset0 and/or SSB, but the second initial BWP does not carry the second LP-WUS and is not used to wake up the second type of terminal.

Optionally, the first configuration information includes: and monitoring time-frequency domain information of the first LP-WUS. Illustratively, the time-frequency domain information is used to indicate the time-frequency domain resources for transmitting the first LP-WUS. Thus, the terminal can be made to know which time-frequency domain resource is listening to the first LP-WUS, thereby improving the listening success rate and the like.

Optionally, the second configuration information includes: and monitoring time domain information of the second LP-WUS. Illustratively, the time domain information is used to indicate the second LP-WUS. Illustratively, the time domain information includes at least one of: duty cycle and configuration reference time point.

Optionally, configuring the reference point in time may include at least one of: offset value of PO and offset value of PEI. Illustratively, the offset value of the PO is used to indicate an offset of the time domain resource in which the second LP-WUS is located relative to the PO. Illustratively, the offset value of the PEI is used to indicate an offset of the time domain resource in which the second LP-WUS is located relative to the PEI. Of course, in other embodiments, the configuration reference point in time may also be an offset of the time domain resource where the second LP-WUS is located with respect to the paging message and/or any information of the PEI, etc.

Since the second configuration information includes time domain information of the second LP-WUS, the second configuration information may be applicable to be shared by a plurality of initial BWP. In this way, the terminal may be caused to listen to the second LP-WUS in which time domain resource and may be caused to listen to the first LP-WUS in at least the initial BWP.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, different LP-WUSs or the same LP-WUS may be carried by different initial BWPs for indicating wake-up of different types of terminals; this enables wake-up of different types of terminals.

In some embodiments, the LP-WUS is used to wake one of the following:

all terminals listening to the LP-WUS or at least part of the terminals listening to the LP-WUS;

a designated terminal comprising at least one of: at least one group of terminals grouped by PEI or at least one group of terminals grouped by PO.

Alternatively, the specified terminal may be a terminal grouped according to a predetermined grouping rule. The predetermined grouping rule may be any grouping rule; for example, the predetermined grouping rule may be: grouping rules according to indexes or numbers of the terminals, grouping rules according to operators to which the terminals belong, and the like; the predetermined grouping rules are not limited herein.

Optionally, the at least one group of terminals grouped by PEI is a designated at least one group of terminals. Illustratively, the PEI packets may be divided into groups for indicating the designated at least one group of terminals by different values of at least one bit in the LP-WUS and/or different at least one bit in the LP-WUS. For example, the first bit in LP-WUS is "1" for waking up the first group of terminals in PEI packet, or the first bit in LP-WUS is "0" for waking up the first group of terminals in PEI packet; and/or the second bit in LP-WUS is "1" for waking up the second group of terminals in the PEI packet, or the second bit in LP-WUS is "0" for waking up the second group of terminals in the PEI packet.

Optionally, the at least one group of terminals grouped according to the PO is a designated at least one group of terminals. Illustratively, the PO packets may be divided into groups for indicating the designated at least one group of terminals by different values of at least one bit in the LP-WUS and/or different at least one bit in the LP-WUS. For example, the first bit in LP-WUS is "1" for waking up the first group of terminals in the PO packet, or the first bit in LP-WUS is "0" for waking up the first group of terminals in the PO packet; and/or the second bit in LP-WUS is "1" for waking up the second group of terminals in the PO packet, or the second bit in LP-WUS is "0" for waking up the second group of terminals in the PO packet.

Optionally, the LP-WUS is a first LP-WUS, the first LP-WUS being used to wake one of: all or at least part of the first type of terminals listening to the first LP-WUS, and the specified first type of terminals.

Optionally, the LP-WUS is a second LP-WUS, the second LP-WUS being used to wake one of: all or at least part of the second type of terminals listening to the second LP-WUS, and the specified second type of terminals.

Therefore, all or part of terminals in different types of terminals or at least one group of terminals according to a certain grouping rule (grouping according to PEI or PO) can be awakened through the LP-WUS, so that the low-power-consumption awakening of the terminals is realized, and the power consumption of the terminals is saved.

In some embodiments, the paging message and/or the search space of the PEI is configured based on an initial BWP, which is used by the terminal to listen for the paging message and/or the PEI according to the paging mechanism, but the initial BWP does not include the LP-WUS or the configuration of the LP-WUS (e.g., the first configuration information or the second configuration information). Optionally, the initial BWP comprises a first initial BWP and/or a second initial BWP; the LP-WUS includes a first LP-WUS and/or a second LP-WUS.

Thus, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, if the network device does not configure the LP-WUS on the initial BWP, the initial BWP may enable the terminal to page according to the conventional paging mechanism, so as to wake up the terminal.

In some embodiments, transmitting the LP-WUS at the at least one initial BWP comprises: the LP-WUS is transmitted in an initial BWP, wherein the LP-WUS is used to wake up at least one type of terminal.

As shown in fig. 4, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a wake-up method, which is performed by a network device, including:

step S41: the LP-WUS is transmitted in an initial BWP, wherein the LP-WUS is used to wake up at least one type of terminal.

Optionally, the initial BWP comprises a first initial BWP; the LP-WUS includes the first LP-WUS.

Alternatively, the first LP-WUS may be used to wake up at least one type of terminal or wake up all types of terminals. Illustratively, the first LP-WUS is used to wake up a first type of terminal; the first LP-WUS may also be used to wake up a second type of terminal.

In some embodiments, the LP-WUS is transmitted at an initial BWP, comprising: first configuration information including a first LP-WUS for waking up a plurality of types of terminals is transmitted at one initial BWP.

The embodiment of the disclosure provides a wake-up method, which is executed by network equipment and comprises the following steps: first configuration information including a first LP-WUS for waking up a plurality of types of terminals is transmitted at one initial BWP.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the LP-WUS may be carried through the same initial BWP to enable wake-up of one or more types of terminals.

In some embodiments, transmitting the first configuration information including the first LP-WUS at one initial BWP comprises: the first configuration information including the first LP-WUS is transmitted on the first initial BWP based on excluding the first control resource set (Coreset 0) and/or SSB from the second initial BWP, wherein the first LP-WUS transmitted on the first initial BWP is further used to wake up the second type terminal. The first LP-WUS may also be used to wake up a first type of terminal.

Alternatively, the first configuration information may be the first configuration information in the above embodiment.

Optionally, the network device sends the first configuration information on the first initial BWP, the first configuration information comprising a first LP-WUS for waking up the first type terminal and the second type terminal. Here, the first type terminal monitors the first LP-WUS transmitted by the first initial BWP and determines to wake up the second transceiver. The second type terminal monitors the second initial BWP and determines that the second LP-WUS is not included on the second initial BWP, or determines that the second initial BWP does not include Coreset0 and/or SSB (determines that the second LP-WUS cannot be configured on the second initial BWP); at this time, the second type terminal needs to monitor the first initial BWP, and if it is determined that the first initial BWP includes the first LP-WUS, it is determined to wake up the second transceiver.

In this way, it is possible to implement interception of various types of terminals by configuring LP-WUS on one initial BWP.

In some embodiments, the first LP-WUS comprises at least one of:

the first indication information is used for indicating a target type terminal to be awakened;
